Joseph: Elijah's
right, Dad! You have super powers! |
 |
Dunn:
No, Joseph. I'm just an ordinary
man. |
|
|
Joseph: It's not true!
I'll prove it to you!
/brandishes syringe |
 |
Dunn:
That's not loaded. You don't know
where to get steroids. |
|
|
Joseph: From Barry
Bonds' locker. |
 |
Dunn:
/taken aback
Joseph, did you load that syringe? |
|
|
Joseph:
You won't get hurt! |
 |
Dunn:
Elijah was wrong. |
|
|
Joseph:
I'll show you!
/points syringe at Dunn |
 |
Dunn:
Joseph, do you remember the story ab-about
the guy who struck out 195 times in a single season?
That was me! I'm not lying! I just didn't
remember, that's all. |
|
|
Joseph: Don't be
scared. |
 |
Dunn:
Joseph...
If you inject me with that syringe, I'm going to leave.
Do you understand? I'm going to sign with New York. |
 |
Dunn:
Y-you're right. If you inject me,
I'm going to get stronger, and I'm going to hit 90 home
runs a year. |
 |
Dunn:
But then I'm going to go to the clubhouse,
and I am going to pack, AND I AM GOING TO LEAVE. FOR
NEW YORK. |
|
|
Joseph: /sobs
...why? |
 |
Dunn:
BECAUSE I THOUGHT WERE JUST STARTING TO BE
FRIENDS FOR REAL. AND FRIENDS LISTEN TO EACH OTHER.
THEY DON'T SHOOT EACH OTHER UP. |

Joseph:

JOSEPH collapse to the infield grass in simultaneous
relief and sorrow. |
