Excuse me.

I'm here in response to the ad
in the newspaper

about Mrs. Tortelli's children.

Oh, what, is she trying
to sell them again?

- What?
- Never mind. Never mind.

- Carla?
- Yeah, what is it?

There's a lady here to see you.

- Oh, yeah?
- I'm Miss Gilder.

We spoke earlier about
your ad for a tutor?

Yeah, yeah. Have a seat
over there and we'll talk.

I'm taking five.

Okay.

Here are my résumé
and references, Mrs. Tortelli.

You will see that I teach all subjects.

I have a great deal of experience,

and, if I may say so myself,

I am very highly recommended
by those for whom I've worked.

Forget that.

Have you ever been in any
major military skirmishes?

- What?
- Look, it's very important

that I know that
you can handle yourself.

Would you stand up for a minute?

- Give me one.
- Give you one what?

Your best shot. Right here.

Coldcock me, honey.

- Don't hold back.
- Waste her.

- Lay one on her.
- Let's go.

You don't really expect me
to strike you?

Hey, six bucks an hour.

Great shot.

Sit right down here
and we'll work out the details.

Afternoon, everybody.

Hey, Norm.

Norman.

What's the story, Norm?

Thirsty guy walks into a bar...
You finish it.

Norman, you are looking
especially spry today.

Thank you.

Matter of fact, I joined
a health club today.

Oh, good for you.

- Nice facilities?
- Excellent snack bar.

Norm, it's gonna add years
to your life, I'm telling you.

Coach, I felt I had to do something.

Hey, Sammy,

this guy over here doesn't believe me
about your bar slide.

Would you mind serving one up
just to save my good name?

My pleasure, Cliff.

Thank you, Sam.
Let's clean this garbage out of here.

Clear the runway.

- Okay, Sammy, anytime you're ready.
- There you go, Sam.

Hit the bricks, pal.

Okay, okay.
How do you do it?

Well, that's just one
of my two hidden talents.

The other one is just as impressive.

But you could hardly
charge a buck for it.

Cheers.

Yeah, just a sec.

It's for you, Sam.

Give me a second, Coach.

I'll put you on hold.

- Thank you, Coach.
- All the classy joints do that.

Hello, Sam Malone.

Hey, yeah, of course I know
who you are, Rick Walker.

Well, it's not too crowded.

Well, if you're across the street,
come on over.

Yeah.

Hey, we're in luck here.

A genuine Red Sock is
on his way over.

No kidding?

Oh, wow.

- What are you doing?
- Hey, Sam,

I don't wanna Boston Red Sock
to come in here

and get a glass with lipstick on it
or crud at the bottom.

Sit up straight, will you?

So, who is it, huh?

Evans? Rice?

Yaz?

You heard of Rick Walker?

He can use that one.

- Carla.
- For five years,

when that farm boy
was pitching for Detroit,

we couldn't win a game against him.

Then he signs with
the BoSox for big bucks,

and now he's leading the league
in early showers.

Carla, he's supposed to be
a very nice guy,

and I'm just glad not everybody feels
the same way you do about him.

- Hi, Sam.
- Hey, Rick.

I'm sorry about that.

That's okay. For me this is cordial.

- How you doing?
- Good.

Nice to see you.
Come on, let's sit down over here,

and have a little privacy.

Thank you.

Now, Sam, I know it's a little crazy

for a perfect stranger to come
in here asking for advice,

but the pitching coach said you were
the one man in this world

who could help me.

Well, I'm flattered.

Yeah, he said if anyone knows
about slumps, it's you.

The legend lives on, huh?

Sam, can I buy you a beer?

No, thanks. I don't drink anymore.

Oh, yeah, I heard rumors you used to
hit the bottle sometimes.

Well, they're true.

Did you ever drink during a game?

Never on the mound. It sets
a bad example for the catchers.

Did drinking help, Sam?

No, quite the contrary.

Hey, how about an early shower?

- Carla, come on.
- The guy's a rag arm.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Sam, didn't that guy used to be
a pitching coach for the Red Sox?

Yeah, that's Ernie Pantusso.
He works here now.

That's a good idea. Come on,
let's ask him some stuff here.

Coach, I want you
to meet Rick Walker.

Hey, Rick, how are you?
It's nice to meet you.

- Can I get you a beer?
- That'd be great.

Listen, I'm sorry things are not
going good for you out there.

Yeah, Coach, I just don't know
what I'm doing wrong.

- Sam?
- Yeah.

Who is that man?

That's Rick Walker.
He's a relief pitcher for the Red Sox.

Poor guy, he's in a slump.
He's going through hell.

Try to get out of those things,
the worse it gets.

Well, you know what he needs...

Meditation.

Gives you total serenity.

Well, maybe I could suggest it to him.

It worked for me.

I used to have this facial tic.

I started meditating, it went right away.

Really?

- Absolutely.
- What kind of tic?

Oh, well, it was hardly noticeable.

- Come on, let me see it.
- No.

I got rid of it. It's a thing of the past.

So, anyway, suggest meditation.

It just might do wonders.

Yeah, I can see it did
wonders for you, right?

Well, I am a living endorsement.

Gotcha.

Sam, what am I gonna do?

Well, have you ever
thought about meditation?

- I've tried everything, Sam.
- Really?

Please, Sam,
forget that meditation, will you?

What he needs to do
is beef up his sex life.

You know, see a little bit of the ladies,
take the edge off.

He's right. Sam here has taken
more edges off than a carpenter.

Listen, Rick,

in my day, there was always
a lot of attractive young dames

outside the stadium
waiting for the ballplayers.

They're still there, Coach.

You kidding?

Say hello to Rosie McGonagal
for me, will you?

Different ones are there, Coach.

Yeah.

Listen, now he's been in baseball
for a long time.

Maybe there's something
to this stuff about sex.

No, Sam. Now, I appreciate
the suggestion here,

but I just don't think
that's the answer.

Oh, wait. Now, wait just a minute.

Don't say that it's not the answer
until you've tried it.

Diane. Diane.

Excuse me.

My name is Diane.
I have done this for years...

...and I'll tell you, I would be happy
to teach you how to do it.

Well, Diane, this is very kind of you,
but I don't think--

No, no. Please, do me the favor
of trying it with me.

Is she serious?

Oh, yes, she's serious.

She does it all the time.
She just said so.

That's right.

Do you...?

- Oh, are you kidding? Him?
- No, no.

He'd just make jokes.

Well...

Well, okay then. Okay.

What time's good for you?

Well, personally, I like to get at least
half an hour of it in before breakfast.

Look, anytime is all right with me.

Darling, I like you.

You know, there is something
so beautiful

about experiencing it outdoors.

Don't people stare at you?

Yes, sometimes.

But they end up learning something.

Sometimes people even join in.

You know, all this talk has
gotten me so excited,

what the hell, let's do it now.

- Outside?
- Oh, no, no.

It's a little cold,
and I prefer to take my shoes off.

Sam, could we use your office, huh?

Wait a minute, I'm sorry.
Listen, I let this go too--

No, no, we don't need
to hear from Mr. Skeptic.

Rick here is after something,
and I can show him where it is.

You gotta start doing different things.

You gotta, I don't know,
maybe discover

some little rituals or superstitions.

Maybe, you know,
start carrying around a lucky charm.

I know that sounds silly.

But what you gotta do now
is break up your routine.

Did you have any superstitions
there, Sammy?

Well, yeah, I had one crazy little one.

I never pitched to anybody named
Reggie, Willie or The Bull.

Well, you did have
the lucky charm, Sam.

Yeah, I did. That's true.

Well, what was it?

Well, it was a bottle cap
that I found once.

For some reason I picked it up
and started carrying it around with me.

And after a while, I guess I figured
it had something to do with

things going my way, that's all.

Dog, I sure could use
that bottle cap.

Oh, it doesn't have to be this one.

It could be any bottle cap,
really, or anything.

Sam, you still have it?

Well, yeah.

I just started carrying it around, more
as a superstition than anything else.

Could I borrow that
for a couple days?

- This?
- Please, Sam.

Now, this could mean
my whole career.

Well...

A couple of days?
Sure, I guess so.

I can't guarantee
that it's gonna work.

Hey, Sam, listen, I'm desperate.
I'll try anything.

This is great. Thanks a lot.

Yeah, don't mention it.
Hey, let me buy you another beer.

No, thanks, I got practice.

And I'll see you in a couple days.

- Thanks a lot.
- Go get them, kid.

- See you.
- So long, Rick.

Oh, hey, Rick.

Hey, Sammy, how about
another beer down here, all right?

Sure.

Sam, I never thought you'd part
with the bottle cap.

Come on, Coach.

It's only gonna be
for a couple of days.

It's not like it's special or anything,
magical.

Hey, Cliff ie.

Here you go.

Gee, I hope you haven't lost
your other talent too.

Did Rick Walker
pitch again last night?

Yeah. He got another save.

Boy, that old bottle cap
comes through again, huh?

Let's see, that's three saves
and two wins in two weeks,

and all of a sudden the whole city
of Boston is in love with that kid.

Yeah, everybody but Sammy.

Yeah.

Sam and his prescientific notions
of magical bottle caps.

Well, you gotta admit
he's had a lot of bad luck.

- And how.
- Sorry I'm late.

What is it today, Sam?

Oh, nothing too exciting.
I locked my keys in the car.

Hey, I won the pool.

Cliff wins it three days in a row.
It's uncanny.

What did you have yesterday, Cliff?

It was scrapes and nicks,
and he cut himself shaving.

And the day before that,
I had stubbing something.

Still hurts.

Tell me.
What do you like tomorrow?

I see a mine shaft.

Sam, come on.

Please tell me that you don't think
these things are happening to you

because you've lost your talisman.

Look what's happening to Rick Walker
with that bottle cap.

I mean, he's turning into
a Hall-of-Famer.

He was on AM Boston this morning.

No kidding, Sam, what did he say?

I don't know.

I left my TV set
next to the heater last night.

It exploded.

- Were you hurt?
- No, no.

Luckily, I was unconscious
in my bathtub.

Sam.

Do you realize that you are causing
these accidents yourself?

What are you talking about?

Well, you've obviously got
something else on your mind.

You're not concentrating,

so you're making all these
terrible things happen to you.

Sammy, let me have
a Dewar's rocks and a red wine.

- Coach, listen.
- Yeah.

How many games did he win
with that silly thing in his pocket

that he takes it so seriously?

None.

- None?
- None.

Well, if he didn't win any games, why
does he think it's a good-luck charm?

Diane, it had nothing to do
with baseball.

I knew it.

I knew there was more to this
than what he was saying.

Come on, tell me, why is it
so important to him?

Please, Diane, I can't tell you.

I'm sorry, I can't.

Come on, Coach. I'm real curious.

Okay, you can ask me
a yes-or-no question.

Okay.

- One question?
- Yes.

Sam, would you take that, please.

Sammy, you grabbed
the coffee pot by the sides.

- Yes, I did.
- Doesn't it hurt?

"Hurt" is not the right word.

Hey, hey. Anybody have any money
down on the coffee pot?

Sammy, you've gotta get
that bottle cap back.

For the first time in my life,
I'd rather be me than you.

Yeah, Sam, ask the kid
for the cap, will you?

I mean, he's going good now.

Maybe he's rolling again.

He's got the old confidence back.

Yeah, maybe he just
doesn't need it anymore.

Sam, please, give him a call.
He'll understand.

- Go on.
- Think so?

- He'll understand. Please.
- Absolutely. Go on. Right now.

Well, all right, if you guys insist.

Hey, wait a minute, Sammy.

You can't call him now.
The game just started at Fenway.

The Red Sox take the field.

It's a beautiful night here
in Fenway Park.

Well, I guess you're right.

Well, I can survive
nine innings, huh?

With your luck, it will go
into extra innings.

And that's out number three.
Walker has done it again.

He retires the side, and we head into
the bottom of the 21st inning.

Perfect.

No kidding?
Norm, is it the 21st inning?

Let's see.

I get 22, but this one could be
the national anthem.

Yeah, well, that's a little bit
too much baseball for me.

- I'm heading out of here.
- Not me, Cliff ie.

I'm a real Red Sox fan.
I stay till the very last out.

It's closing time, Norm.
I can't serve you anymore.

Not like it's the World Series
or anything.

Good night.

- Good night, Norm.
- Wake up, Diane.

- Cliff ie, let's go do something, huh?
- No, not tonight, Norm.

I gotta be down at the post office
in a few hours to pick up my bag.

Yeah, I gotta go crawl
into bed with mine.

Well, I think I'm gonna
get on home too.

I'll see you tomorrow, Sam.

Come on, Carla, I'll give you a lift.

No, I don't wanna miss
any of the game.

Come on, you can hear it
on the car radio.

How far away is your car?

- About a block and a half.
- Wait. Let's wait for the right moment.

We now pause ten seconds
for station identification.

Coach, the keys!

Which direction?

One block north
and about a half a block east.

Right.

Or did I take the bus today?

Good night, Diane.

Sam, don't worry about a thing.
It's gonna be all right.

Well, I guess I'll
knock off too. Okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I could...

I could go to the all-night bookstore
in Cambridge...

...or I could go home
and make myself a cup of tea.

- What do you think I should do, Sam?
- Score.

That would have to be
the bookstore.

There's a line drive.
And if it stays fair, that's a home run.

It's fair and it's gone.

All right.

The game is over and my
baby's coming home.

May I ask a question?

Could you hold that question
for a minute?

I got a very important
phone call to make here.

You're calling Rick, right?

Yeah, I think that's his name.

Do you have the number
of the "bullpit"?

No, no. They'd probably be
in the bunkhouse by now.

Marty, hey, yeah,
well, it's Mayday Malone.

How you doing?

Yeah, thank you. I'm doing fine.

Listen, is Walker there?

Well, all right, when he
gets out of the shower,

tell him to call me here at Cheers.

All right?
Okay, thanks.

I believe you had a question there.

Oh, well, I guess it isn't
important now.

It's just that I know that this bottle cap
has nothing to do with baseball

and I was sort of hoping that you'd
tell me what it's all about.

I know you've been curious.

I haven't wanted to tell you
the real situation

because you'll think I'm silly.

Well, would it ease your mind at all if
I told you I already think you're silly?

Yeah, that might help a little bit.

You see, that little bottle cap
keeps me from drinking.

Silly, huh?

You don't hear it speaking, do you?

Well, nothing beyond
an occasional little small talk.

It is a very little bottle cap.

All right, I'll bite.

How does it keep you from drinking?

Just out of curiosity.

It's the cap off the last
bottle of beer I ever drank.

The last anything I ever drank.

I remember holding onto that bottle cap
during some pretty rough nights.

I mean, I'd wake up in the morning
and I'd have its imprint in my palm.

I mean, it was flat,
because I was squeezing it so hard.

When I was tempted to have a drink,
sometimes I'd look at the bottle cap,

and it would stop me.

That's a pretty great
little bottle cap, huh?

You wanna know something
really crazy?

The last couple of nights...

...I've really had an urge
to have a drink.

- That's probably for you.
- Probably.

Listen, thank you.

Thank you for listening.

Oh, well...

If I wasn't here, I'd be at home in bed
with The Brothers Karamazov.

Don't say it.

Hello. Hey, Rick.

How you doing?

Hey, that's a pretty terrific win
you got there for yourself.

Yeah, congratulations.

Listen...

...I guess you're kind of back
on the beam now, wouldn't you say?

Well, you know, I was thinking
this afternoon, you remember...

...I loaned you a bottle cap
or something?

Well, this is gonna sound funny,
but I'm kind of missing that dumb thing.

You did?

Well, why didn't you
tell me that, Rick?

No, no. That's all right.

No, never mind, that's--

What's wrong?

He lost it a week ago in Kansas City.

He was putting off
telling me about it.

Kansas City.

One town I've always
wanted to see, huh?

We'll jump on a plane...

Oh, well...

What's the difference?
Easy come, easy go, huh?

Come on, Sam, let's get out of here.

Go home. Diane...

I tell you what, even better,
let's just talk, you know?

What are you gonna tell me
that I haven't heard 100 times, huh?

Come on, Sam, it's important
that you not be here tonight, huh?

You don't wanna be in a bar.

Where am I gonna be
tomorrow night?

And the next,
and the day after that, huh?

I'm gonna be in a bar, right?

But you're gonna
feel better tomorrow.

No.

No, I'm gonna feel better tonight.

Hey, here's an idea.
Why don't you...?

Why don't you watch me get drunk?

I'll get real sick.

- Sam, no.
- Don't.

Just don't.

I guess I gave the wrong one
to Rick, huh?

Hey, I'm sorry. Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
I knew you could do it.

- I knew you could do it.
- Your...
