All your equipment's missing too.
They took everything. You think it's the kids from Lakeland High?
I don't know, Mike.
Someplace with a good art department, apparently.
You don't think your kid...?
What? Damon? No, Mike.
I was just thinking, you know,
the pissing and the... Never mind.
You okay?
No, Mike. No, I am not okay.
There's nothing left, Mike. Don't you get it?
The whole state has nothing left.
- That's it! - We have the alumni game.
- What? - The alumni game.
We can raise a little money there.
Mike, we don't have the equipment to play in the alumni game.
We'll borrow that from East Lansing.
Look look, I know we don't usually make a lot,
but if you actually played this year,
it could make a big difference. It'll boost morale too.
I don't know. I feel weird going out there
like I'm still 18. I'm the manager now.
People don't want to see you manage, Ray.
People want to see you hit the ball.
The alumni game...
i hadn't played it for nine years.
When people think you're hot shit,
all you can do is disappoint them.
I guess I didn't want to come up short.
Oh, look at those two.
Oh, they're in love. Seals are very romantic.
- They are? - Absolutely.
Seals form long-lasting romantic relationships.
I take a field trip here every year.
Seals are my favorite...
sensitive and strong.
So you really teach?
Of course. It's all I've ever done, really.
And coach.
You coach? You really do that?
32 years. I love it.
We're having our big alumni baseball game this Saturday.
You should come if you want.
I'm not much at the plate these days,
but I can still field with the best of them.
I'm thinking... I was hoping actually,
uh, you could buy a block of tickets.
We usually have sponsors,
but, y know, sponsors these days
have mostly evaporated.
Mike, I'm sorry, I don't know what you're asking me.
Oh, to maybe consider supporting the team,
to buy a block of tickets for the game.
It doesn't have to be a lot.
You could write a check for whatever.
You want me to write you a check?
Whatever feels right.
They're good kids, you know.
Oh.
No obligation, but it's...
it's hard for schools these days.
Mm.
Do you think I would spray-paint
two wolves fucking each other in your locker room?
Oh, just forget I said anything.
So are you coming to this alumni game Saturday?
I peed on home plate, dad. I'm not a vandal.
I'm going to the salad bar.
Mind if I try some?
May I have a bite of your enchiladas verdes?
You said you weren't hungry.
I'm not.
Mm.
Oh, that is delicious... delicious.
Especially when it's free, right?
Everything tastes better when it's free.
I don't know what you're talking about.
All right, Frances, Mike was at your house on a Wednesday.
That's a weekday. You booked him for the weekend.
You only paid me for the weekend.
He brought me breakfast unannounced.
Was I supposed to say no?
I thought maybe it was included.
Why would you say no? No, you want Mike,
unlimited access, unlimited hours... that's fine.
No, we just... we have to renegotiate.
I'm thinking
something along
these lines.
I can't possibly pay that.
You can say yes. You can say no. Okay.
But if you say no, then I have no choice
to call Mike and terminate your relationship.
Um, okay.
Will you just give me my payment for this week?
What are you people doing to me?
Mike asked me for money and I paid him. And now you're...
wait wait wait, you gave money to-to-to Mike?
He asked for it, okay?
Or I don't know, I think he asked for it.
All right, Frances, I think Mike was confused.
So why don't... you know what?
Just write me a check.
I'm a person, not an a.T.M. Machine.
Um, ours is a mutually beneficial arrangement.
It's... we're like... it's like those birds
that live on a hippo and eat bugs.
I don't think I can handle this.
I'm not going to s...
see Mike again.
You're despicable.
Yeah, hi, Charlie. I need to talk to you. It's important.
I'm trying to make my own rules,
but then I just don't...
I don't... I'm just...
I'm not feeling in a very pimp state of mind right now.
Most players don't get the perfect ending.
They spend their last couple of years hurt, injured.
They fade into oblivion.
But they never give up looking for it.
So how is it going?
Uh, this is how it's going.
I live in this tub
because it's the only place
that makes me feel comfortable.
I sit here with my boobs growing like watermelons.
And my back is fucking killing me.
And I only leave to go eat chili cheese fries at chain restaurants.
I don't even bring my cell phone in here
because I'm afraid of dropping it in the water and electrocuting my baby.
And my best friend's afraid to come over
because last time I screamed at her
for no fucking reason whatsoever.
I guess I'm lonely.
Still no Peter?
Still no Peter.
I'm glad he's gone.
I don't even know why I called you.
I'm too fat to fuck.
I think you look great...
a little pregnant, but...
Beautiful.
What?
I'm a professional.
I missed you, Richard.
I missed you too.
Oh God.
No one has done this to me in a long time.
Just this...
third base.
Kiss me.
Oh God, this is...
this is really hot.
Keep going.
Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.
Argh! Oh God.
Oh my God.
Argh!
Oh God. Argh.
Are you okay?
- It's my shoulder. - What happened?
I have a rotator cuff thing.
Ay!
Did you come?
Yeah.
- Jess? - Ron.
Isn't it locked? I thought it was locked.
What is that?
Oh, it's old.
- Old what? - Just nothing.
- Well, let me see it. - It's no big deal.
It's absolutely unimportant.
Okay, fine. Jeez, Ron.
I have a rash, okay? It's just a little rash.
I didn't want to bother you with it,
so I dug up some old cream.
And I think everything's gonna be fine.
Jess, what's going on? I'm one of the top skin men in Detroit.
If you had a rash, why didn't you just come to me?
I just didn't want you to get upset.
Honey, rashes do not make me upset.
Cars do not make mechanics upset.
Hair does not make beauticians upset.
I know my way around a rash.
Okay, Ron.
Here's my rash.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
- Ray. - What?
Ray, look at this.
Ray, it's getting worse.
Could you just get the ointment, please?
Yeah.
You should go back to that dermatologist.
I did. He said the cream isn't gonna cure it.
All the allergy tests came back negative.
He thinks it's psychosomatic.
What?
He says it's my body's way of saying "help!"
