:58:01
So are you most of the time.
:58:03
I don't seem to make out so well with you.
:58:10
Are you saying nothing happened
between you and Skipper?
:58:13
-You know what happened.
-I don't know!
:58:16
I wasn't there.
:58:18
I couldn't play that Sunday.
I wasn't in Chicago.
:58:21
-I was in the hospital--
-Skipper played.
:58:23
He played all right!
:58:24
His first professional game without Brick.
:58:29
Tell Big Daddy what happened.
:58:31
Go on, tell him.
:58:32
You're a sports announcer.
:58:35
Give us a running account
of the all-American bust.
:58:39
Tell him how many times
Skipper fumbled...
:58:42
...and stumbled and fell apart.
:58:45
On offensive he was useless.
On defensive he was a coward.
:58:49
And it was all over:
:58:50
Chicago: 47, Dixie Stars: 0.
:58:53
Bad breaks. An off day.
:58:55
No, baby.
:58:56
Without you, Skipper was nothing.
:58:59
Outside: big, tough, confident.
:59:02
Inside: pure jelly!
:59:04
You saw the game on TV.
You saw what happened.
:59:07
But I didn't see what happened
in Skipper's hotel room.
:59:10
That little episode was not on TV.
:59:12
Tell Big Daddy
why you were in Skipper's room.
:59:15
He was sick.
:59:17
Sick with drink.
:59:18
He wouldn't come out.
:59:20
He'd busted some furniture...
:59:21
...and the hotel manager said to stop him
before he called the police.
:59:25
So I went to his room.
:59:27
I scratched on his door
and begged him to let me in.
:59:30
He was half crazy.
:59:32
Violent and screaming one minute...
:59:34
...weak and crying the next.
:59:36
And all the time, scared stiff about you.
:59:40
So I said to him maybe it was time
we forgot about football.
:59:44
Maybe he ought to get a job
and let me and Brick alone.
:59:49
I thought he'd hit me.
:59:52
He walked toward me...
:59:54
...with a funny sort of smile on his face.
