01x03 - Take Me Out of the Ballgame

Post by bunniefuu »

Looking good, Junior.

Hey, you ready to take down

Bar Harbor on Saturday?

- That's the plan.

- Oh, yeah.

All right, well, let's see

how the Mosquito star player

can do against

the Hall-of-Famer.

Come on. Okay. Hey, bud.

Hey, you pitched a great game

last week, man.

I love cheering you on, buddy.

Keep it up, all right?

I used to pitch for the Skeets

back in the day, young g*n.

You know? I don't know

if you've ever heard.

I was known far and wide

for the "My Low High Low."

You think you can handle

that pitch?

- Bring it on.

- Oh!

Oh, no!

Mm

Good morning, guys.

So, listen,

I feel like I just, um,

I have to get really real

with you guys.

Like, no gimmicks, no puns.

Just, like, me and you talking.

So, here's the thing.

My mom has been dating

this loser,

I call him Dumb-Dumb,

for, like, six months now.

And last night at dinner she

tells me that he's moving in.

Like, "Pass the potatoes.

You have a new dad."

So I made the decision

to move out,

and I am not talking with her

right now,

which is why I appreciate this

community now more than ever.

What in God's name

are you doing here?

I have a new show.

Coffee With Elaine.

Unfiltered. No Sugar.

Great. I'm sure

it'll be a big hit.

No, I mean, why are you here,

sleeping on my sofa?

- I moved out of my house.

- Yeah, well, move back in.

I already have

one unwanted house guest.

I don't need another.

Do you guys remember

when I was telling you about

my amazing boss who's almost

like a father figure?

Well, he died.

So now I'm stuck with this guy.

Morning!

Don't let the dog get

Good morning, Sarah.

You should really name that dog.

Oh, I'm not giving him a name

and I'm not giving him a home.

- What's going on here?

- Oh, I'm

Clearly, I have a trespasser.

Call the police.

Why are you here?

Oh, I cut my finger on a rusty

old lobster chip. You wanna see?

Yeah, no, uh,

Elaine will take care of it.

Um, I-I should give you

a tetanus shot, though.

That Eddie McCroy.

He's been getting into

my lobstering territory again.

So I've had to start

cutting off his buoys.

You're still feuding with him?

When will this madness end?

When he's dead.

I'm gonna knock him out,

and then I'm gonna stuff him

in an old rusty lobster trap,

and then I'm gonna

throw him overboard.

I should give you

a rabies shot, too.

You're foaming at the mouth.

Hey, look. What do you,

uh, what do you think?

I mean, is it, is it cute?

Or does it, does it look like

I'm trying too hard?

- I think it's adorable. Yeah.

- Really?

I mean, maybe it would look

better belted.

Louisa, I know, we're the gays,

but i-it's time

you knew the truth.

We don't know anything

about fashion.

Um, speak for yourself.

Twenty years ago when I was

you-know-who's private chef,

designers, stylists

were coming in and out.

And one night

I was making dinner for Ah!

- Ah.

- It's k*lling you, isn't it?

Yes, never sign an NDA.

It's a prison

you will never be free from.

Don't you have

any female friends

you can talk fashion with?

Well, I-I mean,

there-there's Nicole. Um

She moved to Missoula.

And then Corinne.

But then she had

the twins, so

And then I guess Mark just kind

of became my-my whole world.

Well, I don't know zip

about fashion,

but I do know that women need

female friends,

if for no other reason,

so we can b*tch about

all the stupid, ignorant,

immature, insensitive stuff

that men do.

Present company excluded.

- Oh, stop.

- But isn't it a little weird?

I mean, how am I supposed

to go about

finding a best friend at my age?

I don't know,

maybe at the victory party,

when we celebrate our win

against Bar Harbor

all night long!

- Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.

- Bye, 12-year losing streak.

- Bye, Bar Harbor.

- Oh!

Victory is within our grasp!

- Yes, I can taste it.

- Go Woodpeckers!

Eddie McCroy,

what are you doing here?

Why don't you and your hat

go back

to Bar Harbor, where you belong?

I can set my traps

anywhere I want.

How about you shut your trap

and get the hell out of here?

Okay, okay, let's all calm down

and maybe save this enthusiasm

for the baseball diamond?

- Fine.

- Fine.

Go Mosquitos! And get

this pecker out of here.

It's Woodpecker,

and you know that.

This is bad.

I'll handle the diagnosis.

Thank you, Elaine.

I messed up, doc. Junior

is Skeeters' star player.

Strongest arm, biggest bat,

but I should have known that

the "My Low High Low"

could still defeat the best!

This is the first time

in over a decade

we even had a shot

at beating Bar Harbor.

Yeah, if it's all right

with the Greek chorus,

I'd like to talk to the patient.

- What did he call us?

- Just means shut up.

- Okay.

- It's not serious, is it?

I don't know, i-it-it could be

a muscle strain,

a-a pinched nerve, or the sign

of a more serious problem.

Junior, is there

someone Elaine should call?

- I already called my dad.

- Oh, I'm a dead man.

What happened?

What's going on with my son?

- This is your son?

- Yeah.

- He's Glendon Jr

- What happened?

I was putting in

extra time at batting practice,

like we talked about,

and then Mark came.

It wasn't my fault. It was

the damn "My Low High Low."

I hurt my back, but I'm fine.

I should be good by the game.

Okay. You better be.

You know, I was the star pitcher

for the Skeets back in my day?

Do you know how proud

it makes me that Junior here

is our best chance of beating

Bar Harbor in 12 years?

This kid is already famous

around here.

You hear that? Come on, champ.

Let's get you into an ice bath.

Just so you know, champ may have

a herniated disc

or something else that could

lead to further injury.

- We should really just Ah!

- Ah! Ah!

- What happened?

- Oh, my arm!

Huh! What?

What did you do to my son?

Looks like he broke his forearm.

It looks like

you broke his forearm.

Unbelievable.

Oh, y-you've ruined everything.

The game coming up,

college scholarships.

No, it-it just doesn't make

any sense his arm broke

that easily. I need to do

some X-rays to further assess

Oh, you've done enough.

I'm taking my son

to Bar Harbor Hospital.

You'll be hearing

from my lawyers.

What?

Ooh! Ha-ha!

I am loving that now

this is all your fault.

- Just, uh

- It's not my fault. Get out.

Ooh! Ha-ha

It's just like a huge, like,

a huge weight off my shoulders.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

Hey, I'm sorry about the fight

with your mom,

but I like your new show.

Thank you.

I'm trying to be real

because everything else

I was doing online

was just to get, like,

likes and views.

But being real is, like, huge

right now.

I think

it's a great idea, and

People will fall in love

with you just for being you.

Um, Jeannie?

- Hm?

- What do you think about this?

I mean, is it cute,

or is it trying too hard?

Super cute, but it needs a bow.

Oh, my God.

I was wondering that.

Yeah, otherwise

it's kind of giving off

"I woke up at a boy's house,

and I put on a shirt

because I drank too much,

and I slept in my dress" vibes.

That's not what I was going for.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

But with a belt

- Oh. Your belt. Ah.

- Yeah.

- It is Yeah.

- Okay.

- It's fun.

- Wow!

Oh, you like?

- Mm.

- And just tuck that. Oh!

- Okay.

- Yes. Okay.

Yeah, now give me a pose.

Louisa, yeah, yeah!

Vogue.

- Look at that. Mm-hmm. Ah!

- Oh, my God, I love it!

Thank you.

- Anytime. Mm.

- Mm

It's so nice

to talk to another woman.

You know, all that time

with Mark, I just forgot

how important

female friendships are.

- Yeah, they're not that great.

- Totally. What?

Isn't it all about

finding a man?

Your biological clock doesn't

care about sipping Cosmos

and talking about shoes.

You know what I mean?

- Oh, but Oh, you're serious.

- Of course.

The last thing I want is to end

up single with dried-up old eggs

and my good years behind me.

- No offense.

- Oh, me.

Okay. Yeah.

Elaine, can you find me

Junior's file?

I am working.

Yes, for me.

He's too young for osteoporosis.

Maybe he already had a hairline

fracture, something genetic.

Elaine, why can't I find

any records before 2020?

Is there a separate drive? Were

some of the files not digitized?

Elaine?

Elaine?

Welcome back to Coffee With

Elaine. Unfiltered. No Sugar.

Mm, since moving out,

I've felt super alone.

But we all feel alone

sometimes, right?

I would love to feel alone.

Have you found another place

to stay?

Mm, I mean,

I've always been different.

I-I have this rare thing where

my heart is on the wrong side.

It's on the right, not the left.

And I can't eat tomatoes

because they gross me out.

- Wait, are you a twin?

- So

What does that have to do

with tomatoes?

Well, I assure you, nothing.

But situs inversus

organ reversal

is most common among

identical twins.

I'm not a twin. I don't think.

Well, wait, how would I know?

I was just a fetus. Am I a twin?

Well, one twin can develop

with reversed organs

due to a later-than-usual

embryonic split, so

Why would my mother

never mention that?

What, did she have to give up

one twin for adoption

because she couldn't afford

to raise us both?

Oh, my God. No wonder

she's always resented me.

She thinks that she chose

the wrong twin.

Could my twin just, like,

be out there somewhere?

And if so, does she have

an extra bedroom?

Doc, could you try to find

my mom's files

from the day that I was born?

Sure. Anything else? Coffee?

No, I have.

The only thing worse than

having you as an assistant

would be having two of you

as assistants.

Now, I need you to find me

Glendon Jr.'s file

and his family's files.

Thank you.

In the meantime, if you know

someone who looks like me

but is not me,

please put that in the comments.

Well, that stinks.

Now that Junior's injured,

I guess there goes

the championship.

Oh, that pasta salad

did not hit the spot.

Well, we made the playoffs.

That's still

a huge accomplishment.

Save it for the kids, Louisa.

I needed a win.

That was my pasta salad,

by the way.

- You made it?

- Yes, I did.

And I brought it as my lunch.

So I guess Mark did the cooking

when you two were together?

Yeah.

- Oh, my God.

- What?

Someone must have left this

in the printer.

Oh, that's not interesting.

It's for Principal Halloway

from the county school board.

They might have to shut

the school down. Budget cuts.

- Well, maybe it's for the best.

- How is this for the best?

I am wasting my youth here.

None of the kids' dads

are even hot.

Okay. What about the kids?

We have to do something.

No, it-it's not so great

for the kids.

This is her. This has to be her.

She looks just like me.

That is you. That's

your Facebook page. Who's next?

I am. Because of you,

I need something for depression.

That Skeets victory

was all I had to live for.

Yeah, rooting for the Skeets was

one of the only things Freda and

I had in common.

We got engaged

to the Skeets game.

You've k*lled baseball

and you've k*lled our marriage!

What's the medical reason

you're here?

Arnold needs

his hearing checked.

Freda's yelling

broke my eardrums.

Oh, that's not true.

- That's not true!

- You're right, it's not.

My hearing's fine. I've just

stopped listening to you.

Oh, yeah, I know that.

Are you up What is this?

It's a prescription

for a divorce.

- Oh.

- Mr. Collins, you're up next.

- Uh-huh.

- Hey, doc. Hey, everybody.

Hey, brought you some donuts

from the Salty Breeze

'cause, you know, we're buds.

Yeah, that's not how

I would characterize it.

Oh, and 'cause I really, really

like you and respect you.

Are you proposing

or is there a point here?

You see, um

- Glendon

- Glendon. Oh.

You mean the father whose son

may have brittle bones,

but who cares as long

as the Skeets win on Saturday?

Yeah, about that. Um,

can I speak to you privately?

I don't have the time, Mark.

- I think you do.

- I really don't.

No, I really think you do.

Mark, I'm really

not enjoying this.

Okay. Okay.

- Are you Martin Best?

- Yes.

- Do you reside at 3 Main Street?

- Uh, what is this?

Okay. I'm just doing my job.

I'm really sorry, man.

You've been served. Glendon

is suing you for malpractice.

Ah!

- Malpractice?

- You did break a boy's arm.

No, I didn't break

his arm, he had

some kind

of pre-existing condition.

He sure did. He used to be

a good baseball player.

It's not amusing.

I-I, this lawsuit

is as ridiculous

as having a mosquito

as your mascot.

Oh, come on now. Let's not

say things we're gonna regret.

I am not the reason

Junior broke his arm.

If I could just examine him,

see a family medical history,

or look at an X-ray,

I could figure out

why it happened.

Exactly.

I know, I believe you, doc.

You're a good man.

But I would still lawyer up.

Hello?

The two of us can't sleep

with you making

all of that noise.

Neither you, nor the dog

who shall not be named,

should be sleeping in my house.

We're not

sleeping at your house.

Because you're making too much

racket. That's what I'm saying.

I think I know

what you're saying.

Anyway, just

Why do I even bother?

This kid either had

a pre-existing fracture,

or he has brittle bones.

In which case, something

is causing that condition.

Something that should be

addressed medically.

And a clue might be

in his records, right?

You'd think it'd be in his

records. But Dr. Reese, right?

Unfortunately, Dr. Reese,

who everyone loved,

didn't bother to digitize

all his files before he died.

This town is a nightmare.

Yeah, it kind of can be.

Some ways I'm glad

my twin sister got out.

Mm.

Ah. Ah.

Thank you for seeing me.

I hope you're here

to cheer me up.

Well, I, I know,

it's not good news.

You are telling me.

234 days straight

I'm the Wordle king.

And I forget to play one day,

one day,

and streak over?

I mean, it just, it just

slipped my mind. It just, it

How could it just slip my mind?

Well, uh, well, maybe

you were preoccupied by the idea

that our school might close.

No. No. No.

But you know what?

That's depressing, too.

I really loved

being the principal here.

Loved? Well, well,

it's-it's-it's just over?

I mean, w-w-we aren't gonna,

gonna fight this? Heh-heh.

I think losing our star player

is a sign

that we just, we can't compete.

You know, this is how it goes

at small schools.

- We had a good run.

- Uh

Don't you care what happens

to our students?

I know what'll happen to them.

They'll all get bused

to Bar Harbor.

And although it's a bit of

a commute, you know, at least

they'll have the opportunity to

experience victory for a change.

What's that long face about?

Oh, it's nothing.

- What happened to you?

- Oh, nothin'.

Eddie McCroy

cut some of my traps loose,

so I had to punch out

some windows on his boat.

You punched out glass windows?

No, dammit. It was too strong.

Look at this.

Did I break these fingers?

- Hey! Hey!

- Let me see.

Oh, what did you do now?

Oh, I may have inquired

about some records.

You went to Bar Harbor and tried

to access my son's X-rays?

Look, you, you have some nerve.

- Aunt Sarah, inside.

- And miss this?

Now, you know what's nervy?

You're suing the only doctor

who seems

concerned

about your son's brittle bones.

You sure you wanna

talk to me that way?

I don't wanna talk to you

at all.

No problem. That's what

we have lawyers for.

- Good luck proving your case.

- Yeah, I don't need luck.

I know someone who knows someone

at Boston Memorial Hospital.

Are you suing them, too?

I know you had some kind

of meltdown,

and that's why you're not

a surgeon anymore.

I can't wait to tell that

to a judge.

- And everyone else in town.

- Have at it?

I am not scared of you or any

nonsense you think you know.

Nice try

That may fool some people

around here,

but not me.

Ow!

- Ooh.

- Ah.

Ah. Ow.

Ah. Ow. Ow.

Since we don't have anyone

scheduled for an hour,

I might go talk to my mom.

That's fine. I have business to

take care of at the school. Hm.

The thing is,

these past few days,

living with somebody

so sad and lonely

has made me realize

how important family is,

especially when you're old.

So even though I said I would

never talk to my mom again,

I think that it is important

that I put my anger aside

and find out what happened

to my beloved twin sister.

Elaine!

Oh! I'm so happy to see you.

Did I have an identical twin?

- Yes.

- You gave her up for adoption?

- No!

- Oh.

Okay, so could she still be

out there somewhere?

What, did you put her in

a basket outside of a firehouse?

- Or something?

- No, no, no, no.

- Is she dead?

- No

- Well

- So what happened to her?

- You ate her.

- What?

Uh, uh, you know,

you absorbed her.

It-it-it was in-utero.

It was very early on.

I didn't wanna tell you

because I know

how you can overreact sometimes.

Overreact?

Great,

so I'm a sister-eating cannibal.

For me to live,

somebody had to die?

This is why I go around

always feeling

like something is missing,

I have a big hole in my heart?

I think

what you're describing is

a human condition, but continue.

So what else

haven't you told me?

Nothing. Except

I miss you.

And I want you

to move back home.

Well, I bet. I'm the only child

you have left.

Honey, I know there's

plenty of room for all of us

back at the house.

I was hoping that you'd warm up

to the idea of

Dumb-Dumb?

I wish you wouldn't

call him that.

What would you prefer

that I call him?

- Well, stepdad.

- What?

- He asked me to marry him.

- What? Uh

Don't overreact. We-we wanna

get married next week.

Next week? Oh, my God,

please tell me that he's dying!

And you're granting him

his last request.

Or just some kind of blackmail

situation that's going on.

Or have you just lost your mind?

Honey, I love him, and I don't

wanna wait one other second, but

I would really like

your blessing.

My bl

Not possible.

We went through

such a tough time together

you and I.

But it's been six years now.

I was hoping that

you would at least understand.

Well, I was hoping

I had a twin sister.

But I ate her.

So we can't have everything.

- Do you bruise easily?

- Why?

Are you gonna punch me

in the face now?

- Yes or no?

- No.

Any breathing issues?

- No, not that I know of.

- All right, open your eyes.

- Wide.

- Oh. Uh, Dr. Best. Dr. Best.

- Look up.

- What, w-what are you doing?

Checking for blue sclera.

You see here? No bluish tint.

That means we know it's probably

not osteogenesis imperfecta.

Okay, but I don't think

it's appropriate for you

to be examining a student

without his parent present.

- Yeah, dude. You're a creep.

- Yeah.

Well, I wouldn't have to

if your parent

were a little more helpful.

I-I just, I need to know

what happened, okay?

I, I'm being sued

for malpractice.

Right? This kid's health

is on the line.

I'm the only one in town

who seems to care.

Okay, okay. I-I get it. I, I do.

I, I just found out that

this school might be closing

due to lack of funding.

Yeah. I'm not surprised.

I mean, it's economics.

I mean, school serves

too few students.

- It's not financially feasible.

- But also, I might lose my job.

I mean, this is the only job

that I ever wanted,

and basically the only real job

I ever had.

Does no one understand that?

I mean, I thought, I thought

maybe because

of the malpractice suit,

you, you could relate.

I'm not losing my job.

I'll prove I was right.

- You just watch me.

- What?

Let me guess.

That's Eddie McCroy's truck.

Yeah. You want me

to get Glendon for ya?

No. Go home.

Well, look. It's Dr. Downer.

Everybody lock your doors

tonight.

He already broke an arm.

God knows what he'll do next.

- Gosh, Freda.

- The usual?

Garden salad

with chicken nougat?

Emphasis on the to-go part.

I think everyone here

would like you to go as well.

- Hey

- Oh, come on.

I have no idea why he's laughing

that hard.

Well, can you tell me

about Glendon Ross Jr.?

Does he eat here?

What does he like to order?

You wanna bring him

something as an apology?

That's not going to heal his arm

before Saturday.

You know, I have nothing

to apologize for.

- I-I just need any reason

- Don't worry, doc.

This will all calm down

after the game.

And, look, you never know.

The team could still win

without Junior.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz,

buzz, buzz, buzz

For God's sakes, people. Okay?

- This is not the World Series.

- Ah.

This is a high school

baseball game.

You heard me.

It's our World Series, doc.

These people

went to Port Wenn Day School

from kindergarten through 12th.

We're all Mosquitos at heart.

And we've all waited 12 years

to beat those snooty

Bar Harbor Peckers!

- Their team is the Woodpeckers.

- Yup.

How long does it take

to make a salad?

Oh, oh. Melissa.

Coming right up.

Hi, friends. Guess what?

Not only is my mother

engaged to Dumb-Dumb

I ate my twin sister.

It's right here.

Went down to the basement.

It's right here in the files.

What? There are paper files

in the basement?

It's called

Vanishing Twin Syndrome.

It's a really nice way of saying

I ate my sister.

Elaine, why didn't you tell me?

- Uh

- It's so dirty down there

I honestly think

I just blocked it out.

But now that it's about

something important

"But now that it's important"

You mean it's saving my reput

I don't, I don't even know

why I bother.

Oh, but watch out for that

one step.

Aha!

Guess what?

Glendon Jr. only has one kidney.

Well, don't let him near me. I

might try to eat the other one.

The kidneys regulate calcium,

vitamin D and phosphorus levels.

With only one, that might have

something to do with why

his arm broke so easily.

Now I just need to see Junior

and ask him some questions.

Why is he giving me this?

Hey, doc. I come bearing lattes.

Uh, Elaine can have mine.

I, uh, don't drink foam.

Yeah, give me.

Better latte than never.

Oh.

The bar for humor in this town

is very low.

Uh, anyway, doc,

I know that we're buds and all.

And I really like

and respect you.

- Wait, what-what's going on?

- I'm really sorry, man.

- Are you Dr. Martin Best?

- You already served me papers.

These are new papers.

This is a restraining order.

- What?

- I'm really sorry, man.

You're not allowed to contact

Glendon Ross Jr. at school.

You're not allowed to contact

Glendon Ross Jr. at home.

You're not allowed to contact

anyone in the Ross family

or be within 300 feet of them.

Are you kidding me?

A restraining order?

I'm just trying to figure out

what's wrong with his son.

I'm really sorry, man. You wanna

go, like, sh**t, like, darts o

No, I don't wanna go

sh**t darts!

I don't ever wanna

see you again.

You mean, like, in this

capacity, though, right?

Like, serving you papers, right?

- Sure.

- It's Louisa.

She says it's an emergency.

She needs to talk right away.

Really?

Oh, it's for you.

Good. I should go.

It's Junior.

He's in excruciating pain.

Can you please come

to the school and see him?

I would love to come see Junior,

but his father

just took out a restraining

order against me.

I don't wanna hear excuses.

He's in terrible pain.

You're just five minutes away,

so find a way!

There, just

Yeah. Oh.

Okay, okay, yup, yup, yup.

Oh, oh.

- Oh, gosh. Okay.

- Oh, my God. Sorry.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Hm. Hm.

Here.

Um, he's-he's having these

horrible waves of stabbing pain.

On a scale of one to ten,

how bad is the pain?

Oh, 11.

Just

- Ah! Ah.

- Oh, God.

I think you might have a kidney

stone, which needs to be

broken up sooner than later,

since you only have one kidney,

a fact you could have mentioned.

But, hey, here we are.

Louisa, will you call

the paramedics?

Yeah, um, of course.

That explains the back pain.

What does a kidney stone have

to do with brittle bones?

How should I know?

Unless

you're not processing protein.

Then you would have to be

overdosing it.

Are we consuming

an excess of protein?

Well, I do try to bulk up

during the season.

With what? Whole buffaloes?

- In there.

- Oh.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

All right,

ambulance is on its way.

How much protein powder

have you been taking?

Oh, I don't know, like

one of those a week.

This should last you

for a month.

How long have you been abusing

this stuff?

I wouldn't call it abusing.

It's protein powder.

Yeah, well,

your one kidney disagrees.

I started sophomore year, but

like I said, I ramp it up

during baseball season.

I needed to bulk up for

Yeah, well, you can forget about

the playoffs, okay?

You shouldn't be doing anything

physical or strenuous right now.

You can break like a twig.

You need to rest.

Stop taking the protein powder,

and get your bone health back.

Then I need to tell my dad.

Well, of course you need

to tell your dad.

But then it might sound like

it's my fault.

- It is your fault.

- Well, he can't know that!

He was really excited

about playoffs.

- It's a championship.

- He is suing me for malpractice.

I could lose my job.

The town could lose its doctor.

It's awful, isn't it,

the future being so insecure,

not knowing

if you're gonna keep your job?

What about

the restraining order?

And you're not even supposed

to be near me, right?

I could have you arrested

for even being here.

Just, I wanna get this straight.

Are you threatening me after

I climb through a window

to help you?

Uh, uh

Yes?

- I thought so.

- You should go.

Yes.

Oh.

- Yeah. Got it? Oh.

- Uh, yeah.

Yeah, no.

Yes.

I can imagine it's difficult.

With the school

possibly closing.

And, Junior, don't worry,

with a simple sound-wave

procedure to break up the stone,

you should be as good

- Forget it. Go. Go, go. Come on.

- Oh, okay, I'm just

- Yeah. Whoo!

- Have fun.

Okay. Uh

My God! What have you done now?

Nothing.

Couldn't find any dynamite.

What? We are not

a family of criminals.

I'm kidding, you're the one

with a restraining order

and a lawsuit against ya.

- Are you doing okay?

- I'm fine. Yeah.

I mean, I might lose my job

because of that

blustering, egomaniacal asshat.

- It's insanity.

- Oh, wait a minute.

Does that mean that you actually

wanna keep your job here?

- Of course.

- You

You wanna continue

to practice medicine

here in Port Wenn?

You like it here?

- That's not what I said.

- Aw.

- That's not what I said.

- Aw, come on now.

Admit it, admit it. You're

starting to be happy here.

Nope, not what I said.

It's the principle.

- Release me, please.

- All right, how about this?

How about I take out your rival

and you take out mine?

Mm. This has been

constructive. Yeah.

Look, if you wanna keep your

job, you wanna save your career,

you're gonna have to stand up

to this asshat.

Come on!

- Put up a fight, like me.

- With dynamite?

Well, good luck finding any.

I looked everywhere.

- Go Skeets!

- Go Skeets.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Just who knows how many zzs

we'll have left.

The future is promised

to no one.

Ah! God, that drew blood.

- Uh, what's going on?

- Uh

Okay, look, don't tell anyone,

but the school

might be closing

due to lack of funding.

What? Port Wenn Day School?

That's all of our childhoods.

There's like 20 million memories

in there.

- Exactly.

- Yes. Are you okay?

Port Wenn Day

is like your whole life.

Thank you.

Finally someone gets it.

I mean, look,

school was never my thing,

but everybody knows that you're

like the best teacher ever.

Seriously, people don't shut up

about that.

Mm.

Oh! Oh!

Mm

I-I-I know that you're, uh,

looking for a place to live.

You've seen my show?

- Bits and pieces.

- Oh.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking

about renting out my spare room.

Do you wanna be my roommate?

- Are you serious?

- Yes!

You'll be like the sister

I never ate.

Huh.

Uh

- Come here. Yay!

- Yay!

Come on, boys, get out there!

- That's what I'm talking about.

- Yay!

- Yeah, yeah, yeah!

- Let's go!

Let's go, Paul!

Let's go, Woodpeckers!

Let's go.

Come on, y'all! Yes!

Hey!

Let's go.

Go Skeets!

Let's go, Skeeters!

Hey, let's go, boys!

This is No!

- Glendon!

- No, no! No.

- No, no can do, doc. No!

- Get out of here.

Come on, you know, you know,

this is k*lling me, but you've

gotta remain 300 feet away from

anybody in the Ross family.

Sit down, Dr. Downer.

We might actually win this game.

Yeah. Hey, can you believe it?

I think this is

the most exciting game

we've ever had

in Mosquito history.

Ow! Wow, we really gotta

rethink the team name.

These things are b*stards.

Anyhow

We're down to run

in the seventh, right?

Paul Parks gets up there,

hits an amazing single,

slides into first,

twists his ankle.

So we just sent out

a pitch runner.

- What's he doing in the game?

- 'Cause he's our fastest runner.

He could break

every bone in his body.

- Let's go, Junior!

- Come on, Junior!

- Let's go, Junior!

- Okay. Come on!

- Uh, just go, J!

- Let's go, Junior!

Let's go, Junior!

- Come on, J!

- Let's go!

Let's go. Come on, y'all! Yes!

Hey!

- Go Junior! Steal se!

- Buzz, buzz.

- Let's go, Junior.

- Zz, zz, zz.

Let's go, Junior.

Zz, zz, zz.

Everybody, everybody.

Yeah. Come on. Come on.

- Strike one!

- Oh!

It looked outside to me.

That's outside.

Okay, we got it.

We got it.

Now you've seen it.

Strike two!

- Ooh!

- Oh, damn it!

You are going down.

- Zz

- Go!

Go! Come on! Yay!

Come on, come on, come on.

Oh.

- Go, Junior!

- Ah!

- Okay! Okay!

- Let's go, J!

Run!

Run!

All the way up!

All the way up!

- Run, boy!

- He's gonna make it!

Run! Run! Run all

Don't! Don't!

Slide! Slide!

He's going home!

Slide home, Junior!

Slide home!

- What? No, no, no, no!

- What?

- What's happening?

- What's going on?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why would you do that?

Forget about the lawsuit.

You're going to jail.

Dad, stop! He did it for me.

He's the reason you got hurt

in the first place.

No, I am!

I took too much protein powder,

and it made my bones brittle.

Why would you do something

so stupid?

Because I wanna make you

proud of me.

Doc Martin was just trying

to protect me.

Hey, you heard that, everybody?

- Doc B is a hero!

- Time! Time!

Port Wenn is disqualified

for fan interference!

I spoke too soon.

Doc, you should sneak out

the back.

Yes, I'm sure.

I talked to my lawyers.

That sounds expensive. What now?

I'm dropping the lawsuit.

Thank you for figuring out

what was wrong with my son.

- With no help from you.

- Hey.

Will you let me

finish before I change my mind?

What I'm trying to say is,

I won't tell anybody

about Boston.

There's nothing to tell.

Well, there's plenty to tell,

but I'm not telling anyone

for now.

All right, champ. That's great.

Uh, be careful.

He's a bag of bones.

Hey. Good job out there.

Oh! You will never beat us!

Never, never, never, never!

I'll beat you with my bare

hands, but I don't touch trash.

- Oh, who you calling trash?

- You!

You smell like

an old rotten herring,

you, you, you slimy old slob!

Oh. You say that again.

You slimy old slob!

Mm

Happens every year.

- Every year?

- Mm-hmm.

Go Skeets.

- Hm.

- Ah.
