Joseph:  Elijah's right, Dad!  You have super powers!

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:  /puts down syringe
**OnlineHost** DUNN and JOSEPH collapse to the infield grass in simultaneous relief and sorrow.
