:59:00
Thanks, Dad.
:59:12
So I don't think I'll even show up
for the last couple of games.
:59:19
What?
:59:23
Every scout was all over that Hyannis kid
who hit the slam off me.
:59:28
Yeah, he'll be getting
a wicked big check come spring.
:59:31
Yeah, I'm going to get a check, too.
:59:34
About $70 for cutting grass
at Chatham Elementary.
:59:37
Come on, Ry.
I think you're a really good pitcher.
:59:42
What you think don't mean shit.
:59:46
What?
:59:48
All that matters is making it,
getting signed and cashing a check.
:59:52
Right now I'm lucky...
:59:54
...if some scrub team in Podunk
lets me pitch batting practice next season.
:59:59
-You're wrong.
-Bullshit! That's all that matters.
1:00:01
It's not bullshit. Some of us would say
you've already made it.
1:00:05
Some of us who've been there for you...
1:00:08
...who drove to Boston to see you pitch,
who sat at your mom's wake with you...
1:00:13
...and cleaned you up behind the Oasis
when you couldn't get up off the ground...
1:00:17
...and who let you live with me
when you and your old man were at it.
1:00:21
Yeah, we matter. I matter.
You bet your ass what I think matters.
1:00:26
I didn't miss one game, Ry. Not one game.
1:00:30
I'm proud as hell
you've done what you've done.
1:00:34
When you hit that mound...
1:00:36
...l feel like crying,
thinking about what we've been through.
1:00:40
Me, and him, and your father, and Mike...
1:00:43
...none of us has missed a game.
1:00:48
This ain't just about a paycheck, Ry.
1:00:52
It's about having pride in what you do.
1:00:58
Because I do.
