Mom? Mom, hurry! He's over
there. He's gonna kill himself.
Julie, I'm not
his mother.
Please, Mommy.
Please, I'm so scared.
Now, I'm "Mommy. "
He's trying to prove
something. I don't know.
Competing in the first round of
the competition, the Eliminator,
and on the grandstand lane,
we have Theresa Vega.
The last few feet of the course
is going to be very crowded.
Oh, God,
he's already going.
In eight seconds, he's
going to be a legend.
And challenging her on the
power lane, newcomer Tod Higgins.
Great start!
Vega with the home shot.
Higgins pulls ahead!
He hit the guardrail!
He's out of control!
Oh, my God!
Come on!
Tod? Tod?
Tod?
Bring it around to the
back of the track! Come on.
One, two, three!
Let's get him out of here!
Back up. Back up. Give him some
room. Give him some room. Back up.
Easy. Easy. Easy.
Did I win?
Oh, my God.
You okay?
I'm all right.
Well, we'll get you to first
aid to make sure, all right?
My brother's car.
I killed the car.
We'll take care of it.
Julie, come on, let's go.
Just get in.
I can't.
What? I can't. This is
too intense. This is...
This is marriage!
Now, let's get
in the truck!
Come on,
let's go.
Can you do that again next
week? The crowd loved it.
Yeah, sure,
that's a good job for me,
crash dummy.
Stop that! You're very
important. Yeah, why?
Why? Because you're gonna be the
father of my grandchild. That's why.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I was so scared.
You, like,
saved their marriage.
That was really cool.
Yeah, well,
I give them six months,
four if she cooks.
You don't think
they're gonna make it?
Well, you know, honey,
the odds aren't good.
Then why did you
say all that?
Why did you try
to keep them together?
Well, because
Julie wants Tod.
Whatever you guys want,
I want to get for you.
That's the best
I can do.
I'm glad you're going
out with Mr. Bowman.
Yeah, why?
Well, he's funny,
and he's the kind of guy
that'd be nice to you.
Somebody should be
nice to you.
I tell you, kid, I
could stand that. Yeah.
Can we tape
over Susan's wedding?
No. What are we supposed to tape over?
Mom, my ears are loose.
Oh, give me. I'll fix them.
Oh, your pants are on backwards.
Go upstairs and turn them around,
and tell Grandma we're leaving.
She's still playing
Nintendo.
Do you know your lines? Daddy, I
don't have any lines. I'm Dopey.
I'll say. Hey!
Kevin? Kevin, take Justin outside,
and put him in his car seat.
I have to do everything.
Come on, shrimp.
Hey.
And I'm the one
in therapy.
I'm not a shrimp.
I love you.
I love you, too.
No, I mean
I really love you.
I love you, too.
Dave called. He was crying.
He actually cried.
He said if I'd come back,
they'd give me a corner office
with new furniture
and a raise,
like that's supposed
to make up for everything.
Anyway, I took the job.
I couldn't think.
I was still high
from the Little League game.
Isn't that demented,
that a grown man's
happiness depends
on whether a nine-year-old
catches a pop-up?
I mean, what if he
missed? But he didn't.
But he could have.
But he didn't.
But he could have.
But he didn't, Gil!
You threw him 12 million
pop-ups in the backyard.
You cut the odds
considerably.
If he hadn't...
But there's three of them,
and you wanna have four,
and the fourth one
could be Larry,
and they're gonna do
a lot of things.
I mean, baseball's
the least of it.
And in all those things,
sometimes they're going to miss.
Sometimes they won't.
Sometimes they will.
What do you want me
to give you, guarantees?
These are kids, not
appliances. Life is messy.
I hate messy.
It's so messy.
You know, when I was 19, Grandpa
took me on a roller coaster.
Oh?
Up, down, up, down.
Oh, what a ride.
What a great story.
I always wanted
to go again.
You know, it was just interesting to me
that a ride could make me so frightened,
so scared, so sick,
so excited
and so thrilled,
all together.
Some didn't
