:27:00
We scout the players.
We-We say which players they should keep...

:27:03
- which they should get rid of.
- And the Red Sox ask your opinion?

:27:07
Well, not yet.
:27:09
But if they ever do, uh-
:27:12
Okay, I've been avoiding this.
:27:17
There's something
you don't know about me.

:27:20
Oh, God, here comes
the bag of hair.

:27:25
The thing is, uh,
I am a Red Sox fan.

:27:30
- Yeah?
- No, I'm like a big, big Red Sox fan.

:27:35
I know. I mean, I've been
to your apartment...

:27:38
and seen the Red Sox dish towels
and glasses and the Yankee toilet paper.

:27:44
- It's like you live in a gift shop.
- It's worse.

:27:50
See, when I was a kid,
I moved here from New Jersey...

:27:52
and I didn't have
any friends or anything...

:27:54
so my Uncle Carl started
taking me to Fenway Park.

:27:58
I just-
I got lost in the game.

:28:01
I mean, the ballpark
and the people.

:28:03
The color, the sounds.
:28:05
The smells.
:28:09
And then he got cancer
and he died.

:28:11
He left me his season tickets.
:28:14
And it's a passion.
:28:16
I mean, it's a very,
very big part of my life.

:28:21
And it's been a problem
with me and women.

:28:25
Oh, ah, I know those women.
:28:27
The "pay attention to me"
and "why aren’t you talking to me?"

:28:31
- Yeah. Exactly.
- God, those women are so pathetic.

:28:35
Yeah, it's like,
"What are you getting so worked up for?

:28:38
- I mean, you're not even doing it, you're watching it. "
- Yeah.

:28:41
It's like, "Hey, how about sometimes
I like to be 11 years old. "

:28:44
- Yeah. - I like being part of something
that's bigger than me-than I.

:28:48
It's good for your soul to invest
in something that you can't control.

:28:51
You're a romantic.
:28:54
Hmm?
:28:56
You have a lyrical soul. You can love
under the best and worst conditions.
