Richie: With 9 guys we've got a whole team, Yeah-Yeah.

Max: No. With Peter we had a whole team. Peter could catch and throw.

Gerald: Come on, Richie, man. He ain't game. You saw the way he threw.

Fredo: Yeah. You already fill up all the empty positions since Peter moved to Arizona.

Richie: Right. And now I get to rotate eight positions instead of seven. I need the practice, guys.

Max: You're the best on the team. You don't need any practice.

Patches: No, you don't.

Melvin: You're the best, man.

(Michael puts his thumbs and index fingers together to make a sign.)

Michael: A L-7 weenie.

Patches: Yeah, yeah. Oscar Mayer even. Foot-long! Dodger dog! A weenie!

(Richie turns to look at Bobby. Bobby's head hangs low with sadness. The other boys laugh at what Patches says.)

Richie: What are you laughing at, Yeah-Yeah? You run like a duck.

Patches: Okay, okay, but I'm... I'm...

(Max and Gerald laugh a little at what Richie said.)

Richie: Part of the game, right?

Patches: Mmmm, yeah.

Richie: Now, how come he don't get to be?

Melvin: 'Cause he's a geek, man.

Fredo: He can't catch.

Richie: Man, base up, you blockheads.

(The boys go to their positions. Richie walks over to Bobby.)

Richie: The Elder, you take left center, okay?

Bobby: Okay. Um, where exactly is that?

Richie: It's over there, man.

(Bobby runs to the left near the fence.)

Bobby: Here?

Richie: That's left. I said left center.

Bobby: Okay. Right.

(Bobby runs to the left center.)

Bobby: Here?

(Richie nods and walks to position.)

Michael: Come on, Richie, man.  He's never gonna catch the ball anyway. Let's just play.

(Bobby falls over as the ball goes past him and rolls to the fence.)

Max: Oh! I told you, Richie. We told you.

(Bobby gets up, puts on his hat and runs to the fence to retrive the ball.)

Gerald: Come on, Richie. Why'd you do that?

Michael: A square, Richie. The kid's a square.

(Bobby gets the ball and hears the growling from yesterday again. He runs from the fence back to position. He gets ready to throw the ball but isn't sure. Instead, he begins to run to the field.)

Max: What the hell's he doing?

(He runs ove to Gerald.)

Max: I don't believe this.

(Bobby puts the baseball in Geralf's mitt.)

Bobby: Here. Sorry. Sorry.

(Bobby goes back to position with a disappointed look on his face. Gerald looks surprised and turns to Richie. Richie jogs over to Bobby.)

Richie: You can throw it, you know.

Bobby: No.

(Bobby takes off his hat.)

Bobby: I can't. I don't know how. Thanks for taking me here, but I think I'd better go.

Richie:  Hey, hey. You think too much. I bet you get straight A's and shit, huh?

Bobby: No, I got a B once. Actually an A-. But it should've been a B.

Richie: Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. You just have fun. I mean, if you were having fun, you would've caught that ball. You ever have a paper route?

Bobby: I helped a guy once.

Richie: Okay. Well, chuck it like you would throw a paper. When your arm gets here, just let go.

(Richie positions his arm to show Bobby.)

Richie: Just let go. It's that easy.

(Richie starts to go back to the field.)

Bobby: How do I catch it?

(Richie stops and turns around.)

Richie: Just stand there and stick your glove out in the air. I'll take care of it.

(Richie runs back to the field.)

Michael (in distance): About time, Richie. My clothes are going out of style.

Patches (in distance): They already are, Squints.

Michael (in distance): Shut up!

(Bobby takes in the information and nods to himself. He stands in position and puts his baseball hat on.)

(Max tosses Richie the ball.)

Max: I told you, Richie.

Richie: The Elder, throw it to second.

Bobby: Okay.

(Melvin groans.)

Michael (in distance): Not again.

(Richie spits on the ball and gets ready to hit it.)

Michael (in distance): We're wasting time, Richie.

(Bobby stands in position, raises his glove and closes his eyes.)

Bobby: Please catch it.

(In slow motion, Richie hits the ball. It then goes back to normal speed. Max watches and shakes head beliving that Bobby won't catch it.)

Bobby: Please catch it.

(The ball flies to him.)

Bobby: Please catch it.

(The ball falls to him.)

Bobby: Please catch it.

(The ball falls into Bobby's glove. Bobby opens his eyes and looks into the glove. He sees that he has caught the ball and smiles.)

(Patches throws the ball to Gerald.)

(Gerald tosses the ball to Max. Max catches it. All of the other boys now respect Bobby. Bobby smiles to Richie and gives him a thumbs up. Richie is very happy about that and gives him a thumbs up back.)

Richie: Yeah!

(Max gives Richie the ball. Bobby hears the growling again from behind the fence and turns around. The fence rattles as a shape behind the fence moves around.)

(Max points to the sky. Everyone expect for Bobby laughs. Gerald pitches and Max misses. It's a strike.)

Richie: Whoa.

(Everyone expect for Bobby laugh again.)

Max: You call that pitching? This is baseball, not tennis.

Michael: Give him a tennis racket.

Max: Give me something to hit.

Gerald: All right, Ham. This is my heater. I dare you to hit it.

Max: You'll be sorry.

Michael: Give that boy a bigger bat.

Gerald: You want the heater, I'll give it to you.

Michael: Give him a basketball. Maybe then he'll hit it.

(Gerald pitches. Max hits it and the ball flies through the air. Bobby runs to catch it but it flies over the fence and a window shatters.)

Melvin: Oh man!

Max: Yeah! That's how you do it.

(Max begins to walk the bases.)

Richie: Ham, you idiot. Now we can't play no more.

Gerald: Great, you idiot!

(The boys expect for Richie and Bobby begin to throw their gloves at Max.)

Max: Hit me with the heater.

Melvin: Stupid idiot!

Max: Low and outside. Just like I like it.

(Bobby realizes that he could get the ball.)

Bobby: Wait a sec. I'll get it.

(Bobby starts to go to the fence. Michael turns and realizes this.)

Michael: No!

(This alerts the other boys. Everyone starts to run.)

The other boys: No!

(Bobby starts to climb the fence.)

Bobby: Guys, what are you...

The other boys; The Elder! The Elder!

(The boys pull Bobby down. They back away and look at Bobby.)

Michael: Holy crap, you could've been killed.

Patches: Yeah-yeah, truly. What are you doing?

Bobby: You guys were leaving, so I just thought I'd hop the fence...

Michael: If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

Richie: You can't go back there, the Elder.

Bobby: Then how do we get the ball back?

Fredo: We don't.

Vin (repeating his brother): We don't.

Fredo: Kiss it good-bye.

Vin (repeating his brother): Kiss it...

Fredo: Shut up Vin.

Melvin: It's gone, man. Gone.

Richie: Game's over, man. We'll just get another ball tomorrow. We'll never see it again.

Bobby: Why not?

The other boys: The "Beast."

Bobby: What is that?

Gil: The Elder, listen to me. Go to that fence real slow and be quiet.

Bobby; But I-I think...

Richie: No, no, no. No, no. Just go and peek through that hole.

Bobby: But I... But I saw something. What's back there?

Richie: It's okay. Just go.

The other boys; Go, the Elder!

(Bobby turns to look at the boys.)

The other boys: Ssh!

(Bobby goes to the hole in the fence and sees something snatch the ball and growl, He runs back to the other boys.)
