Small Town Wisconsin (2020) Movie Script
1
Runner at second takes his lead.
D'Amato has his sign.
2-0 pitch on the way.
And that's a shot to
left center.
Screw me!
Moron.
And the
batter's gonna pull in at second
with a stand up double, so the
situation just got a whole lot...
Dammit, D'Amato, get your...
Frickin' moron.
Riba drove it
right where he wanted to.
D'Amato hasn't been able to
do it right now.
If he can settle down in this
situation and get an out,
Throw him the slider.
Don't be a dumb-ass, D'Amato.
You know he likes that fastball.
Yup, if he's stupid.
Gotta make him reach.
Call it in.
They need you, Wayne.
Hey, would you shut up, Chuck?
Hey, you should be
General Manager now.
Hey, all I'm saying is you've
gotta make him reach.
All I'm saying is D'Amato
loves that high cheese, right?
Thanks for that.
But you know what,
hey look at me.
You know best.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do know best.
Swing and a drive,
deep center field!
Are you shittin' me?
Hey, that's enough.
I'm sorry.
Hey, no, I ain't kiddin' ya.
That's enough out of you, Chuck!
God dammit!
What did I say about drinkin'
while you're working, Wayne?
It's after four, Elmer.
I ain't even
supposed to be here.
Ain't getting paid either.
20 hours a week max.
Told you 10 times.
Yeah, I'm just trying to
finish this up for ya.
Well, I ain't
paying you for it.
Okay...
Dokey.
Fastball has not been working
for D'Amato that much is clear
so far in this game.
You try to keep the spirits up.
It's a long season.
Yeah yeah, what do you
think about that, huh?
Yeah, yeah?
Gimme my hat!
Oh!
Good night, mercy
With you 'til the end
The earth it keeps on spinning
Good night
The night makes you thirsty
Drink up one more time
Let's not start a fight now,
good night
There's no catch to
All the ways I love you
Do your best to
Lock me out but I'm still here
Good night, mercy
The day comes to pass
More for the lovebirds!
Okay!
Good night
Woah, that was a good one.
There's no end to
All the ways I love you
Wayne!
Do my best to
Hang on tight
Yeah I'm still here
Good night, mercy
You haven't said a thing
Passed down through my singing
Good night
Go baby, go baby, come on!
Wayne, Wayne, Wayne!
God dammit!
Wayne, Wayne, Wayne!
Are you all right, you okay?
Hey, that was kind of awesome.
Mhmm, Mhmm!
Oh, crap.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh, hey there.
You all right in there, buster?
There you go, yeah.
You really gotta learn to shit
in one place, huh.
Look at you, all right.
Get you, ah, come.
Hey, hello?
Dee, I'm gonna be a little,
hello?
Hey, Diedra.
Sorry, I...
He's inside. I'll go get him.
All right, I'll just
wait out here then.
Hey Wayne.
How you doing?
What you got going on today?
Oh, not much, just play it
by ear. We'll see.
St. Augustine's having
their carnival
with the raffle and the dunker
thingy this afternoon.
Is that right?
So listen...
Since we got a moment here,
I just wanna say about
this court thing.
I apologize.
It's not personal.
I need the job.
Well take it.
But no need to apologize,
'cause you're not taking my
kid to New Mexico.
Arizona.
Wherever.
Phoenix is a good place,
Wayne.
Not just for me, there'd be
opportunities for...
Whatever, Stu.
You heard the judge last time
this crap came up.
I'm his dad, not you, okay?
Hey, there's my champ!
How's it going, pal?
Good.
Yeah, you ready to have
a good weekend?
- Yeah!
- Huh yeah, all right!
Why don't you wait in the car
for a second, okay?
Man, getting heavy.
Hey, Dee.
Can I just talk to you
for a second?
I was thinking that,
maybe I don't know, I can keep
Tyler 'til Monday?
You know that way I'd get a
little extra time with him,
and it's the back and forth
with the gas and all.
Do you need gas money, Wayne?
No, no, that's not
what I'm saying.
I was just thinking that,
that I could get a little
extra time with him.
And I don't know, maybe...
What about court Monday?
Or Sunday school tomorrow, did
you think about that?
No.
Okay, I need him back by 10,
please.
Ah, jeez!
At the latest.
What is it with the evil eye
you've been giving me
ever since I got here?
You're late again.
Yeah and I tried to call
you to tell you that.
I don't wanna hear it.
I just, I don't want you
disappointing our son.
Disappointing him?
What are you talking about?
Did he say that?
What happened to your car?
Nothing, that's,
that happened at work.
That is a work mishap.
Ah, jeez, for crying outside,
can I just come pick up
my son for once
without getting the
third degree?
Sure, when you start acting
like a responsible adult.
Okay, fine.
As a responsible adult,
I gotta tell you,
that guy over there?
The French got a word for him,
douchebag, okay?
I don't like the way
he looks at me.
I don't like the way he talks,
he talks to me like
he's the dad.
For crying out loud, I'm the...
Great.
Hey champ.
You ready to hit it?
Yeah.
Yeah?
All right, why don't you go
get in the car?
Have him back on time, please.
Sorry.
Any trains coming?
All clear?
Clear.
What?
I asked you if there were
any trains coming.
Oh.
I was thinking about
something else.
What kind of
co-captain are you,
you're not gonna tell me if a
train's coming or not?
Oh, okay.
Come on.
Hey, all right, all right,
uncle!
You're getting strong,
you know that?
Jeez!
Look at you.
What else is going on, huh?
How's your girlfriend,
what's her name?
What girlfriend?
Come on, you're really not
gonna tell me again?
Stop asking about girlfriends
I don't have, I don't want,
and I don't need.
Right, right, fair enough.
But you know you can talk to me
about anything, right?
Like how you're feelin'.
Like if you're not
sure of something
or if you're
disappointed in anything.
You could tell me that stuff.
Uh huh.
So you're not any of those?
You're not disappointed
in like a pal
or maybe one of your teachers
or even your old man over here?
You can tell me.
Well.
D'Amato sorta sucked yesterday.
You're damn right he su...
Darn, shit, shoot!
Hey, forget that one, okay?
Okay.
Yeah, dum dum D'Amato blew
that game didn't he?
Yeah.
Dum dum D'Amato.
For crying outside.
I got nobody, who'd you get?
Jimmy Benshaw.
Are you shittin' me,
I mean kiddin' me?
You got Jimmy Benshaw?
You are a lucky duck,
you know that?
Trade you for your Bob Hoyt
and your Derek Gordon?
Oh, a two-fer again?
Man, I don't know
about that trade.
I think you might be
getting the best...
The best of me on that one, huh?
I'll let you know when we get
back, how's that sound?
Okay.
Go ahead, pick you out a worm.
Go ahead, I can't be worming
your hooks for you forever.
Does it hurt them?
I don't think so.
See the worms, they
don't have the same
nerve endings like we do.
Worms you can tell, is just,
they're just full of goo anyway.
So the way I see it,
we're kind of doing the
worms a favor.
You know, think about it, you
wanna be crawling around
in that muck your whole life?
Or you wanna go out in a
blaze of glory,
like that worm that hooked your
walleye last weekend.
You see what I'm saying?
Go ahead, grab the lucky winner.
Oh, that's a good one.
You got a good one, ooh.
Alright, you got your hook?
Get your hook.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Just like me.
Nice and easy.
You put it on this part.
That's right, right
there in the top.
Good, now you just drop
it in the water.
Better catch me a
fish one day.
Hey, see that was perfect.
See you can do anything that
you put your mind to,
you know that?
And don't you ever let anybody
tell you otherwise.
'Cause anybody tells
you otherwise,
Is a bum.
That's right, and there's a
lot of bums out there, okay?
Don't you forget about that.
I'm gonna cast mine out and then
do a little worm dance
for good luck.
Here we go.
Little worm dance.
Worm dance
Worm dance
Let's do the worm dance woo hoo
All right, let's go.
All right, go, ready?
All right, here we go.
Straighten up, straighten up,
there you go.
Nice and straight.
Hold straight, all right.
Are you your tippy toes?
Right, stand still.
Alright, let's move
out of there.
Are you shittin' me?
Jeez louise, look at that!
That's me at your age.
You got over an inch
on me already!
We're gonna have to
shrink you back down,
you son of a buck!
All right, here.
Write your name up there.
Finish up, and come help me out,
alright?
Hurry up, I need a hand.
Some good elbow grease you
got there, huh?
Let's get these in here.
Come on.
Oh, look at that, champ.
Wow, that's amazing
what some people
just throw in the trash, huh?
You know what, if you
use your mind
you can always turn nothin'
into something.
Can we paint them next week?
Darnit, can't we just?
Paint's expensive, champ.
Hey.
Listen.
Next time Menard's has that
big paint sale,
let's say you come with me
and I'll let you
pick out the paint, whatever
color you want, huh?
Sound good, all right?
Well you walk around,
you feel it out.
Tell me what color you
think you'd like.
What color did
they used to be?
They used to be ivory white.
The whole thing, real elegant.
Ivory white!
Yeah?
Deal.
This one?
That's the one.
Wayne, get your elbows
off the table.
Sit up straight!
You keep slouching like that,
I'll put a board down the
back of your pants.
What are you grinning at?
Hey you wipe that smirk off
your face, you...
Go get me a beer!
Go get me another beer!
Go on, get!
Hurry up.
Ah, ah, hey, no.
From the back, you lazy bum.
I've been busting my butt at
that mill all day.
It's a thousand
degrees in there,
so when I come home, you get
me the coldest beer
you can find.
You hear that?
Hey, don't you make me
come over there.
I'm coming over there!
You better wipe that grin
off your face.
Whoah, good one there, Ty.
Wow, how about that, huh?
Hey, you want another pop?
No?
What's wrong?
My belly hurts.
Oh, you know what,
it's probably all that
sugar you had.
Here, stand up for a second.
Come here, you all right?
So it's your belly?
Okay, maybe try doing what I do.
Take a big,
and you swallow it like a
cheeseburger.
Ooh, see, just like that,
try that.
Big gulp of air,
then swallow it.
Oh yeah, there you go.
Feel better, is that better?
Yeah.
Attaboy.
Good, come here.
You gotta stay away from all
that sugar, okay?
Let's not drink so many
pops next time.
Okay.
All right.
See, my beers, they
don't have sugar.
Where's Buster?
He's in there.
You know I keep telling
that lazy bum
he's gotta clean his room.
He can't.
He's a fish.
Hey you wanna
help me change his water?
Okay.
All right.
Uh oh, game's about to start.
Tell you what.
We'll give him this in
just a minute
but I gotta go down
to the basement
and get the popcorn.
Take the elevator up!
Elevator coming up!
Watch out for the weird dude
below the cupboard!
There's not a weird du... oh!
Oh, the weird dude's got me!
Whoah!
All right, wait wait wait,
Tyler, no, no no!
God dammit!
Son of a!
Shit, shit, shit!
Shit!
Hey, you can't go throwing
water on an oil fire
like that, okay?
It just spreads it even more,
you see that?
Oh, hey.
That is not your fault, champ.
You were just trying to help out
and I appreciate that.
You know what, this is a
learning experience.
So it's my job to teach you
about things like this, okay?
It's a darn good learning
experience, right?
So it's a good thing that
this happened, okay?
Hey, so what do you say we just
do chips instead, huh?
Kramer checks
and delivers the ball up.
Nibbling a little bit here.
Nibbling a little bit
here against him.
So Kramer,
Wayne?
Wayne?
Huh, what?
Tyler?
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, shh.
Under here, under here,
under here.
Champ, under here.
Yeah, I got, we'll be
right there!
Open the door!
Okay, coming.
Hey, Diedra, what are
you doing here?
It's 11 o'clock!
What?
No it's not.
Get your shoes on!
Oh, the winder.
He didn't.
Oh, really?
Well that, well Tyler helped
with the pop cans of course.
Oh my god, what, was
there a fire?
Oh, just a little popcorn
oil spill is all.
It was just small one, right,
champ?
It wasn't big or anything.
It was a learning experience.
That's right.
Get your stuff together
and wait for me in the car.
But it's so small!
Now!
Right, it was a
really small fire.
You don't call, I don't
know what's happened.
Right, I'm sorry, Dee.
Hey, look, it was the clock,
look!
Save it for tomorrow.
Oh come on, what
are you doing?
Your fish is dead.
What?
Ah, Buster.
Judge: Mr. Stobierski, this
isn't the first time
we've been through this.
And Mrs. Schmidt has every
right to be concerned
about your son's safety.
Why?
I don't do nothing to hurt him.
It always starts with some
kind of shenanigans.
Shenanigans?
And it turns into
something worse.
He was drinking heavily
around Tyler.
He was late for his curfew
and I'm pretty sure he
was driving drunk.
Diedra!
I'm right here.
Why are you talking to her
like I'm not here?
Mr. Stobierski, please,
just calm down.
Sorry, I just,
she's talking like I'm
not even here
and Johnny Lucky over there's
got a smile on his face.
How about I come over there
and knock that smile
off your face, it's not a joke!
That's a threat, your honor.
A threat, he's talking like
I'm not even here!
Wayne!
One more outburst and I'll have
you taken into custody
for contempt, I won't
have a choice.
I'm sorry, Jenny.
Judge, I just,
she's talking like, I'm just
feeling cornered right now.
And this is all just because
my stupid cuckoo clock
stopped working.
And the batteries...
No it isn't.
This is about a
pattern of behavior.
These are the results from your
psychological examination.
You suffer from alcoholism,
minor but chronic depression,
you have anger
management issues.
No I don't have anger issues!
I'm not depressed.
Your police record,
aggravated assault,
public intoxications, two OWis,
indecent public exposure.
Yeah, I thought that it
was a men's room.
And you thought that the sink
looked like a urinal.
The sinks were very low in
that ladies' room.
Very deceiving!
Now.
In the past, I've
repeatedly turned down
Mrs. Schimdt's requests
for full custody
to allow, on hardship grounds,
a move to Arizona
I've done this even though
Mr. Schmidt's company
offers full medical
coverage for your son.
Well, he just don't need it,
he's a healthy kid.
And I've done this
because I've taken
your rights as a responsible
father into account.
But at a certain point, as
I've warned you,
Mr. Stobierski, a lack of
responsibility on your part
diminishes those rights.
Your rights as a father
becomes secondary
to the interests of your child.
Therefore, the State of
Wisconsin feels
a change would be in
everyone's best interests
particularly your son's.
Particularly my son's?
Why don't we just ask my son?
Let's ask him.
I'll get him on the phone.
Let's ask him.
We can't expect a nine year
old to know what's best.
You have neglected
your son's safety
and endangered him on
numerous occasions.
Being such,
the state orders that full
custody of Tyler
be turned over solely to his
mother Mrs. Schmidt.
You're granted permission to
make all decisions
on his behalf including where
you choose to reside.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, shut up.
Hey, you shut your mouth!
Wayne!
Wayne.
Diedra?
Dee, are you gonna say
something, Dee?
Now is the time.
Diedra, can you say something?!
Dee!
Okay.
You don't know me.
I thought you did.
None of yous know me.
For Christ's sakes, you
followin' me?
You're not hard to find.
What do you want, Dee?
What else you gonna take?
Wayne.
What, what?
Buy you a drink?
Please go ahead, on me.
I just wanna talk,
please.
No, take it.
Take it all, Dee.
Here, have a Jaeger.
Dammit, Wayne.
What, I'm done!
I don't wanna talk, Dee.
I'm done with the damn talkin'.
Wayne.
What?
You're taking my son, Dee.
That's what you're doing.
Why?
'Cause you're a fuck-up.
Okay.
Look, it is what it is.
But I...
I wanna give you the
chance to tell him.
Tell him what?
Tell him what, Dee?
We're moving.
No.
Wayne.
You're not movin', Dee.
We know that you're not
gonna go anywhere.
Wayne.
What?!
Why, why would I tell him that?
Why should I?
'Cause he's gonna be
heartbroke, is why.
And he needs to hear it from you
that it's best for him.
It ain't what's best.
It is.
It's going to be a good change.
Change is good.
There's nothing here for him
once he grows up.
I'm here, Diedra.
I'm right here.
You're gonna die.
You're gonna die just
like your dad died.
It's best Tyler doesn't
grow up to see that.
If you care about him,
you'll let him go
instead of blaming me
for takin' him.
Either way.
If you don't tell him, I will.
Let me know what you decide.
Okay.
And Wayne.
You can't keep fixing a house
that's not yours anymore.
I told you you
needed a lawyer.
Yeah and how the hell was
I gonna pay for one?
Jesus, Wayne.
So when's all this
supposed to happen?
Listin' their damn
house already.
Change is good, she says.
My ass!
How am I gonna afford to
get out to Phoenix
more than once a year?
I don't get to be his
dad no more.
Does Tyler know yet?
God dammit!
Jeez.
It's all right.
It's a nice shot.
A three in one situation here
as Valentine, he is not
even swinging.
He's just saying hey,
throw me a strike
and D'Amato has
struggled to do so.
Coming from the wind up,
and guess what, folks.
So Valentine's aboard.
Siefer comes home with another
run for St. Louis.
And D'Amato,
Can they still win?
Of course they can.
It ain't over 'til it's over.
Ready for a Usingers, Ty?
It's a brat.
It's not just a brat.
It's a Usingers!
Best brats in the world.
They haven't changed the
secret ingredients
in that sausage for a
hundred years, 'cause
a brat don't get any
better than that.
Yeah, don't change nothing
'cause change don't make
things better.
Did you know that the street
where they make them
are still made out of bricks
just like in the horse
and buggy days?
Can we go?
No, champ, that's all the way
down in Milwaukee.
Does everything good
come from Milwaukee?
The Packers are
from Green Bay.
But everything else.
Beer, Bucks, Dusingers.
Usingers.
Well you know, you got an aunt
and a cousin down there, Ty.
I do?
You sure do.
And D'Amato starts...
It's a strike!
Right down the middle.
Can we go, please?
Get down there someday, champ.
Okay.
Look, maybe
D'Amato's getting back
a little confidence here.
0 and one.
Hey Chuck, looks like
Lorraine's having a great time.
Oh, come on.
Jeff's had the hots for Lorraine
since fifth grade.
It don't mean nothing.
She married me.
Chuck!
Could you grab me a beer?
Sure, okay.
I just painted my nails.
Hey, Lorraine.
Those two stumps below your ass
are what God gave you
to move with.
Screw you, Wayne.
No thanks!
Shut the fuck up, hey!
I warned you, Buster.
I see you're chasing
with another
And no there's nothing I can do
I know that love comes
with no guarantee
But I believe the wind sets free
We'll have a big old house
with lots of rooms
But the wind blows
And all the dreams just
slipped away
Hey there Wayne.
What do you got for me today?
Well, Tom.
I got all of them.
You're kidding me.
Nope.
Not a nick on any of those,
mint condition.
Your Hank Aaron rookie and
Roger Maris still in there?
Yep, all in there.
Sheesh.
You getting married?
You shittin' me?
No, just take a look and give me
a fair price, okay?
Also, I need you to
work your magic.
I need two tickets for Milwaukee
Chicago, first base line.
Hey, hey, it don't matter
what they cost.
Saturday or Sunday you want?
Make it Saturday.
No, no, no, make it Sunday.
No, no, no.
You know what, it don't matter.
Just give me the best seats
you can find, okay?
Take a look.
Not a nick on any of those,
mint condition.
Hey, Dee.
Thanks for coming.
Sure.
So.
Waitress: Would you like a menu,
Dee?
Oh, no thanks, Bitsy.
Wait, wait, wait, no.
You love the pie here.
Why don't you order a
piece of pie?
Because I don't have time.
Oh, well to go then.
Would you, on me?
Okay.
Yeah.
A piece of key lime
to go please.
Got it.
So, how's things at
the hospital?
Fine.
Yeah?
So did you decide?
Are you gonna tell him or am I?
No, you're right,
I'll tell him.
It should come from me.
But I do have one favor to
ask you in return.
I was thinking,
I was thinking that maybe I
could keep Tyler
for a weekend before you leave.
Wayne.
Look, I just,
I wanna do something
special for him.
Okay, I wanna take him
someplace that I know
he's gonna...
Wait, wait, wait.
You wanna take him out of town?
Well, yeah.
But some place close by.
You know, I was
thinking that maybe
Crescent Lake we could go to
and we could do some
camping and fishing
and do like father-son stuff.
I can't.
Why?
What, no?
But you can.
Come on, Dee.
Look, all I'm asking for
is a little extra time
with my son, okay?
I wanna give him something
to remember me by.
Dee, I'm begging you here.
Don't.
No, I just, I'm serious.
I will pack the cooler
with nothing but sodas, okay?
No beer.
I'm not gonna take any
of that stuff,
I swear to you!
There's gonna be no brandy,
no wine coolers.
All right.
What?
Oh, Diedra, that's fantastic.
On one condition.
One condition, okay anything.
I'm gonna need a chaperone.
A what?
What the hell are you
talking about?
- Wayne.
- What?
I can't worry myself
sick all weekend.
I can't do it anymore.
Okay well, how the hell am I
gonna find a chaperone?
Ask Chuck.
Chuck?
Mhmm.
You're saying you trust Chuck
more than you trust me?
Oh, don't sugarcoat
it or anything.
Fine, I will ask Chuck.
You know, if I'm buying then
Chuck's gonna be
right next to me.
Chuck it is, he's coming.
I'm gonna need to
hear it from him.
Oh, give me a break, Dee.
Can you give me a break?
I will ask Chuck to be my,
is he my chaperone
or is he Tyler's chaperone?
Wayne.
I'll ask him to be
the chaperone.
You're still pulling a
little right.
How many times I gotta tell you,
Lou?
You gotta keep the same line.
Hey, somebody traded
beer cans with me
and that one seems to be
empty for some reason.
Why don't you give me
one more freshie
and then we'll call it a night?
On Chuck!
All right.
You gonna tell me what we're
celebrating tonight?
You're always in
such a hurry, huh?
You just gotta, you gotta
slow down sometimes
and smell the roses.
God yeah, I wish that's
what I was smellin.
Oh, Chuckitty, Chuck Chuck,
Chuckin', Chuckster!
Wait, wait, Jesus Christ.
I told you I hate that.
You have no idea how
lucky you are.
You are in for a treat, friend.
I mean a real big treat.
Yeah, sure.
So, first off, I'm taking
Tyler to Milwaukee.
What?
When?
This weekend.
Diedra agreed to that?
Yep, yep, yep.
She sure did.
Huh.
I did sort of tell her
I was going campin'.
What?
What the hell you do that for?
Well because she
would have said no
for no good reason otherwise.
Now listen to me.
I don't know Wayne,
it sounds like a bad idea
that'd just end up bad.
What?
No, it's a good idea.
I'm doing something
special for him
so he don't forget about me.
He's not gonna forget you.
Oh yeah?
I can't remember
nothing from that age
except me sitting in
front of the TV
and my old man throwing
his shoe at me
for sitting too close.
You know, I'm doing it.
I'm taking him on this trip.
You heard him.
He said he wanted to go,
so I'm taking him on a trip
that he deserves.
You know, I'm gonna show him
what an ocean looks like
before they take him out
and stick him out
in the middle of the
frickin desert!
Ocean?
Yeah.
Ocean?
Milwaukee's on Lake Michigan
last time I checked.
Yeah, could you see
clear across it
last time you checked?
No, you couldn't.
Like an ocean.
Just like I was sayin'.
And hey, here's the best part.
I got three tickets
to a ballgame.
Milwaukee Chicago, one of 'em
has your name on it.
Guess where they are.
Front row, first baseline,
no big deal.
Oh.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about you
being my best friend
so you're coming with
us and I'm not
gonna take no for an answer.
Oh, I don't know.
Not gonna take I
don't know either!
Ah jeez, Wayne.
I've been a part of your
failed missions before.
What, goddamit, you're
coming with me!
I already told Tom to get
us three tickets!
Well what the hell'd
you do that for?
How the hell are you paying
for all this anyway?
Hey, don't you
worry about that.
You are gonna be my guest.
All weekend, I got you covered.
Jesus H!
You got a secret pot
farm or somethin'?
No, no, no, I sold my cards.
Yeah, I sold my Maris,
sold my Aaron.
I sold them all, so I...
Oh, okay!
Oh, crap.
Time for you to
go home, Wayne.
Hey, you gotta fix that chair.
It's no good.
Hey listen, can I just get...
You're done.
Okay, take him home Chuck.
Goddamit!
Hey, hey,
you are done.
Just give me a roadie.
Let's just get a roadie.
Sorry, Earl.
So is she your wife or
is she your boss?
Hey Now.
I just want you to
come with me, okay?
You're my bosom bud.
Okay?
Okay?
All right, already.
Lorraine ain't gonna like it.
What, just tell her you're
coming, goddamit!
Stand up for yourself for once.
Hey, I said I was coming.
Don't make me change my mind.
Just calling it the
way I see it.
Yeah, like you see it, huh?
How many fingers?
Get outta here.
What I thought.
God!
Every time.
- Oh, just like that, oh yeah!
- Oh, yeah?
Oh, fuck!
Oh god!
Chuck!
The hell are you doing home?
We got kicked out of the bar.
Hi, Jeff.
Chuck, hey.
I'll see you guys later.
Chuck?
What the hell?
Yeah.
You were right.
I know.
About what?
Walked in on Lorraine and
Postman Jeff last night.
Ah, jeez, I'm sorry.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's no problem.
What's all this?
We're going campin' remember?
No slip-ups!
So where are we staying
when we get down there, huh?
With Alicia?
What are you, nuts?
Why the hell would we
stay with Alicia?
I don't know, 'cause
she's your sister?
Oh, real sisterly what
she done to me.
Real sisterly.
That's a long time ago.
Yeah, so is Pearl Harbor.
We just supposed to forgive
and forget that too?
Well we kinda did
like 60 years ago.
Oh, bull crap, says who?
Says my TV, my VCR, your
Toyota Corolla.
This is where we're staying.
Huh, take a look at that.
That's only the finest hotel in
the whole damn city.
You know who stays there?
Presidents.
You know who else stays there?
We stay there!
We're going first
class all weekend.
Get that through your
thick skull.
The Pfister?
Uh huh!
Doesn't sound real pleasant.
Gimme that.
So you're telling me
we're gonna go
all the way down there
and you're not gonna
see your family?
Exactly.
We are going down
there to have fun,
which by definition
means no Alicia.
Hey, hey, Chuck, the beer.
What about it?
Chuck, the beer,
get rid of it!
Hey, not right there!
Hi, Chuck.
Hey, Ty, how you doing?
Good.
Hey, champ.
Hey, Chuck.
Hey, Dee.
Lorraine okay with you
abandoning her all weekend?
Yeah, yeah.
No problem there.
Hey Diedra.
You thirsty?
Can I get you some sodas or
water or anything?
No thanks.
No, I'm good.
Hey.
Thank you.
Hey, I really appreciate you
agreeing to go along.
Yeah, sure Dee.
Hey, hey, Chuck.
Hey, pal.
Would you mind helping Tyler
with his sleeping bag?
What?
Yeah, sure.
See ya, Dee.
He's real excited.
Oh, that's great, Diedra,
it's real great.
You will talk to him.
Yeah, of course.
Okay, thank you.
What?!
Bosom bud?
What, you are.
I want you with us, Chuck.
Yeah, 'cause you need
a babysitter.
Oh, now that's a
crock of crap.
Don't lie to me, Wayne.
Got enough of that in my life.
Hey I ain't lying to ya.
I wanted you to go!
Diedra wants you to go,
everyone wants you to go, what's
the matter with that?
You can be a real jerk
sometimes, you know that?
What?
Let's get this show on the road!
Let's go, Tyler!
Lorraine: Hey.
Where are you going, Chuck?
Nowhere.
I just seen you put your bag
in Wayne's truck, dumb-ass.
You're going somewhere.
Well, okay.
If you leave, don't ever
come back, you hear?
Do you hear me, Chuck?
Don't ever come back!
And you are never gonna get
any more of this!
Was that a boob?
In his tin cup I did drop it
And I heard him say as I
made my retreat
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
May an elephant caress
you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with
runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Are we going to Minocqua?
Nope, guess again.
Star Lake?
Uh-uh.
Eagle River?
Nope.
You wanna tell him?
I don't wanna be the only one
in on your scheme.
Hey.
In on what?
So I got a question
for you, Ty.
Who's your favorite team
playing this weekend?
Chi-gag-o.
Yep, and where are
they playing 'em?
Milwaukee!
What'd you say?
Milwaukee.
Well yeah, I guess we are
going to Milwaukee!
On account of these three
tickets I got for us, huh!
Are you shitting me!?
Hey you can't, you
can't say that.
Oops, I mean are you serious?
Oh, I'm serious as Aaron
Rodgers down by six
three seconds on the clock
fourth and goal serious.
Here, check them out
for yourself.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
Hey be careful,
don't tear those.
Those are first base line.
No big deal.
Wow.
Spitting distance
from home plate.
Tyler And No big deal.
Not to mention, I'm taking you
to the world famous
Wisconsin State Fair!
No big deal.
And I'm gonna show you what
an ocean looks like!
It's a lake.
That looks like an ocean!
No big deal!
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Oh yeah!
May the elephant
Caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with
runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Let's so how far I can throw it.
You okay?
Yeah.
You sure?
I don't know.
I guess deep down I always
knew about Lorraine.
Still, makes a guy feel
kind of inadequate.
Hey.
Don't you even go there.
That is bullcrap.
How else am I supposed to feel
walking in on that?
I keep seeing it over and
over in my head like
in slow motion.
I seen something too though,
you know?
Don't forget his gym locker
used to be next to mine.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means Postman Jeff ain't
any more adequate
than you are.
Trust me on that.
Son of a bitch has a droopy
nutsack too, huh?
Yeah, Wayne.
See that's not an image I need
in my head either right now.
Oh, crap.
Oh, stupid, yeah.
Nutsack, fuck.
You should just
forget about that.
Oh, me?
- Yeah.
- Forget, sure.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Tyler!
Tyler.
My laundry man is
really on his toes
Found a hundred-dollar bill
You seeing all these
bikes or what, champ?
Whoah!
Oh!
And I heard him saying as
I turned to go
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Chuckster!
Waynester.
So I've been thinking.
Oh, that's never been your
strong suit, Chuck.
F you, hear me out.
Six pack of beer
costs like what,
4.50, give or take, yeah?
So?
So you drink like
two sixers a day.
Not every day.
Cut the bull, at least.
That's nine bucks a day, right?
Yeah, so what?
Just do the math.
30 days in a month times nine,
that's like,
hang on.
270, Chuck!
270!
What's your point?
That's like 300
bucks right there.
You cut the beer, you
got yourself
a round trip ticket to Phoenix
every damn month.
Well what am I gonna use to
pay for the beer,
Mr. Math Expert?
You ain't gonna buy
no more beer.
Yeah, you get a jar and you
stick a buck in there.
A what?
Every beer you pass up,
another buck.
Watch her fill up.
Call it Tyler's jar.
I seen it on Oprah.
On Oprah?
Oh.
Oprah?
Do me a favor, Mr. Math Expert.
Stop thinking!
Why wouldn't I just stick that
money in a bank account,
earn some interest, huh?
Think about that?
'Cause you wanna be able
to watch the jar
fill up for motivation.
Watch a jar?
Do you hear yourself?
You just said watch a jar.
Why would I watch a jar, huh?
What am I gonna do when I
get out there, huh?
How am I gonna pay for a hotel?
I sleep outside under the stars?
Who's gonna pay for
the rental car?
I ain't got money for that.
That's your bright idea, huh?
Thank you for such a
bright idea, Chuck.
Real good thinking there,
I really appreciate that.
Bright ideas!
Okey dokey, Wayne, if
you know better.
And I can get a six pack of
Old Style for 4.39!
Every night's like
Saturday night
We'll be coming to
Milwaukee, here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee,
here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee
We'll be coming to Milwaukee
We'll be coming to
Milwaukee here we come
Tyler, Tyler, look,
do you see that?
Tyler, do you see that,
get up here.
See that?
Is that Milwaukee?
You're darn straight it is.
Looks like square mountains.
Square mountains.
You're all right, you know that?
We'll be coming to Milwaukee,
here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee,
here we come
Where am I going?
Where are we?
What do you mean where are we?
Wait, what's that
say right there?
I don't know.
Jesus, what's with
all the bikes?
Wait wait.
What exit was that?
Make sure, you gotta give
me plenty of notice.
Okay, well slow down.
I can't slow down.
What exit is this one?
I don't know.
Van Brahn?
Yeah, Van Buren, that's us,
that's us.
The exit's on the left.
What, you gotta get
over to the left.
What are you doing, dammit?
Go to the left, yeah man
you gotta get over,
What, go turn left?
What, no!
Okay, okay.
It's the Van Buren exit.
Well, I don't know.
Welcome to the Pfister.
Would you like some help with
your luggage, sir?
Why yes we would.
Thank you very much.
All right.
It looks like a castle.
Jeez, you sure it's
not too much?
Hey, not another
peep out of you.
Not another one, okay?
Can I look?
Yeah, go for it.
Welcome to
the Pfister.
Checking in this evening?
Ah, yes, we are checking
in this evening.
May I have your name please?
Wayne.
And how are you this evening,
Tracy?
I'm fantastic, thank you for
asking, Mr. Wayne.
Oh no, it's Stobierski,
actually.
Wayne Stobierski.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Stobierski.
Do you mind spelling
that for me?
S-T-O-B-I-E-R-S-K-I.
Sorry, got a long one.
Name, long name, lot of letters.
Yes, okay, then.
Hmm, I'm sorry Mr. Stobierski
but I'm not finding you
in the system.
Oh, well we just got here.
We pulled up just now.
And did you make a
reservation on our website?
You know I tried to.
But I don't have a credit
card right now.
What I do have is a lot of cash.
So I don't mind paying full
freight, of course,
just for the three of us.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Stobierski
but we're completely sold
out this weekend.
Sold out?
But on your internet page,
it says that you have
over 300 rooms.
We do, but with Harleyfest
in town this weekend
we've been booked
solid since March.
Harleyfest?
We're expecting over 100,000
riders in town this weekend.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, Mr. Stobierski.
Well.
Where?
Will our new hotel
be like a castle?
Even better, champ.
Don't you worry about that.
Goddamn room hogs!
Take her easy there.
Hello, hi yes.
I'm looking for a room
this weekend,
Where am I going?
Just drive.
Yeah, no, I'm aware
of Harleyfest.
I was just checking to see if,
yes, hi, I'm looking for a room.
Yes, of course I know about it.
What I'm trying to tell you is.
Hello?
Hello?
Fuck Harleyfest!
Wayne!
What?
Sorry.
Oh.
My phone's out of.
My phone's out of batteries.
Hey, where the hell are we?
I don't know, you
said just drive.
God dammit, Chuck!
Here give me your phone.
I don't have my phone.
What do you mean?
Why don't you have your phone?
I didn't wanna bring it.
Why the hell not?
I didn't feel like it.
Hey, how are you doing?
Can I plug this in somewhere?
Sorry, I'm not allowed that.
There's a payphone outside.
Okay.
Can I get some change then?
You gotta buy something, man.
Hi!
Yes, I am looking for
one room please.
Yeah, today, tonight,
and for three.
We could have like a roll-away?
I'm a paying customer, shh.
I already heard you say that.
I wanna hear you say
something different.
Now I'm gonna say I need a room
and you're gonna say okay.
I need a room.
Wrong, okay!
Try that one more time.
I need a room.
Okay, no, you did it
wrong twice.
Well?
Guy inside says that
there's a motel right,
Oh, shh, shh, shh.
Oh.
Guy that works here says
that there's a motel
right down there.
Okay.
Oh crap, oh crap.
Dammit, Wayne.
The hell you been drinking?
Just go.
Okay.
We're not staying here.
Chuck.
Hey, Alicia.
Hey, Tyler.
Remember me?
It's your Aunt Alicia.
Don't be scared, okay?
It's your Aunt Alicia.
Okay I got him, I got him.
Okay, come here.
Let's go, all right,
get some rest.
Oh, here we go.
God, I don't know what happened.
He's just on the phone
looking for a hotel.
Christ, just like that.
He is a mess.
Uh huh.
Well what are you guys even
doing down here?
Yeah, uh.
Wayne wanted to take
Tyler to a ballgame.
You're a good friend,
you know?
Can I get you a drink?
Yeah, I could use a beer.
All right, have a seat.
I got High Life or IPA.
IPA?
Whatever.
Fancy pants.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll take that.
Who the fuck are you?!
Matt?
Who the fuck are you?
Matt, would you keep
your voice down?
We got guests here.
What the hell for?
And stop swearing.
Hey is that little Matty?
Yeah.
Hey!
It's me, Chuck!
Chuck.
Chuck from like five
years ago Chuck?
Yeah, well you gonna
shake my hand or not?
Holy shit!
You got grubby!
Matt!
What the hell are you doing
all the way down here?
Thanks for the warm welcome,
kid.
Hey, what's all that
stuff on your face?
I'm growing a beard.
Oh, yeah, are you
sure about that?
Hey you know you were
supposed to teach me
how to work on engines.
Yeah, well.
Who told you to move all the
way down here, huh?
I sure didn't.
Hey guys, I gotta go
to work, all right?
You're still working
that third shift.
Yeah.
Listen, you can sleep in my bed,
okay?
Matt, Tyler's in your bed
so you gotta sleep on the couch
and I don't wanna hear.
I can take the couch.
No, no, I don't mind.
What?
Chuck will get all of his
grub on the cushions.
What was that, punk?
Listen, I left some clean
sheets out, okay?
Matt'll help you.
- Thank you, Alicia.
- I gotta go.
Have fun, guys.
Be good, Matt!
Uh huh.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six,
Huh?
Yep.
Two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Dad!
Breakfast is ready!
Oh, breakfast huh?
Where are we?
Aunt Alicia's.
You can see the
stadium from here!
Oh, crap.
Hurry up, the eggs
are gonna get cold!
Morning.
Morning, Wayne.
Hey, Mark.
Matt.
Right, yeah I was gonna...
breakfast looks good.
I made the eggs.
Aunt Alicia taught me.
And a good job you did, too,
sweety.
Matt, why don't you pass that
down to your uncle?
Thanks, Matt.
So.
What'd everybody do last night?
I got to sleep in my
cousin's room.
Matt slept on the couch.
Oh, that's nice of you, Matt.
Yeah it's no biggie.
I figured Chuck would
much rather sleep
in my mom's bed.
While I was at work.
Matt, shut up.
Come on.
Okay.
Okay, all right.
Whatever.
Yeah, what about you, Chuck?
What do you think?
Took care of you.
And you're not getting
any easier to carry,
are you, Wayne?
Alicia, I'd like to thank you
for letting us stay
but we're clearly not welcome so
we'll be on our way.
- Sit down, Wayne.
- I don't think so, Alicia.
Let's go, Chuck, let's go.
It ain't up to you.
Seems to me we are welcome here.
I made the toast too.
It's a very nice breakfast,
Tyler
and we are going to enjoy it.
Matt, will you please
pass the bacon?
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?
Get Tyler, I said we're leaving.
Yeah.
Have a nice trip.
Hey, hey, I'm warning you,
dammit.
You're warning me?
You just get him, okay?
No.
I ain't gonna get him.
I am through with your crap.
Hey, you wanna ruin your life,
go ahead.
I ain't helping you do
that no more.
You got a kid who's
excited to be here
and your sister is a saint,
you ask me.
My sister kicked me out
of my father's own
goddamn funeral,
in case you don't remember.
You were plastered.
Well see, I,
I was in mourning, okay?
She could have cut me a
little slack.
She did 'til you
started running around
with the pastor's wife's
nylons on your head!
That was a long time ago!
Which is exactly what I
told you yesterday.
So drop it, hmm?
Let bygones be bygone.
Goddammit, Chuck.
No, no, no, you goddamit!
You lose your right to gripe
when you puke all over the car
and pass out cold!
Sorry about that.
Alicia.
I just wanna thank you for
letting us all stay.
Of course.
So are we gonna go see
the city or what?
Yay!
Can Matt come?
Yeah, sure.
Nice, nice.
You could use some sun.
Go get your shoes.
You wanna come along too,
Leesh?
Yeah.
Sure, I mean if you
got enough room.
Woohoo.
Woohoo!
Chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga.
Oh, give me a break.
Everyone: Chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga.
Everyone: Woohoo!
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Tyler, you see anything?
Whoa, are you
shitting me?
Whoah!
I mean kidding?
It's just like an ocean,
eh squirt?
Oh, no Matt, hey hey hey,
Matt, Matt, Matt, oh.
Here that Chuck?
Just like an ocean.
Oh there you go,
now you got him.
What the hell did I do?
That's a smart kid back there.
Oh yeah.
Look what you done.
Smartie.
Just like the ocean.
Oh yeah.
Smell that salt air.
Well I didn't say it
smelled like an ocean,
I said it looks like an ocean.
You see all those windows?
You know behind every single
one of those windows
and all those buildings is
somebody's home or office,
there's all kinds of
people up there
doing all different
kinds of things.
Like over there, maybe like an
office furniture salesman.
Over there, a barber
or something.
Who knows, in there
maybe a teacher.
Do you think any of them are
eating popcorn right now?
Yeah, of course, why not?
All those windows, probably
somebody up there
munching on some popcorn, huh?
There's a lot going on in
a big city, huh?
Can you imagine living in a
place like this?
All the friends you could make,
are you kidding me?
Oh, you would have people just
constantly ringing
your doorbell.
Hey, is Tyler home?
Hey, can Tyler come
out and play?
Wouldn't be so bad, would it?
I like my house.
Yeah.
It's a nice house your mom
has there for you.
Can you please tell me what
is so fashionable
about looking like a ghoul?
Well, he's a teenager.
At his age, I had a mullet.
Matt!
What?!
Put that sketchbook down,
you're on a boat!
Come on, I remember
you at that age.
What?
Wearing holes with a few
threads of jeans
attached to it.
Air conditioning, we
used to call it.
Yup, air conditioning.
I liked a few of them
strategically placed air vents.
You look real dumb.
I won't after this
thing capsizes.
Don't come swimming
over to me then.
Yeah, you don't look
so hot yourself.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Just trying not to drink.
Come here.
These are people's houses?
Welcome to Whitefolks Bay,
squirt.
Whitefish Bay.
They call it white folks bay
'cause everyone who lives
here is white.
So is everyone in my town.
Except for my friend Katie.
She got adopted.
Whatever, squirt.
I'm not a squirt.
Anybody wanna guess
who lives here?
Some snot-nosed
trust fund snob
who eats pizza with a fork?
No, no, this guy did
it all himself
and then some.
This house...
this house right here
belongs to none other
than the Gorman Thomas.
What?
Who the hell is Gordon Thomas?
Gorman.
Kidding me now?
You never heard of Stormin'
Gorman?
You never heard of I
could give a shit?
Matt!
Hey, Matt, no, Stormin'
Gorman Thomas
was the greatest center fielder
who ever walked
God's green earth
and that's a fact.
And he lives in that
house right there.
You know he's probably
looking down on us
from one of those big windows.
Yeah, saying get the hell
out of my driveway.
Can we meet him?
Please, please, please, please.
No.
Wayne.
That would be a bad idea.
What, why, no, why not?
Why won't he come over and say a
quick hello to some people
who worship him?
Why not?
Because he's probably on the pot
or making a BLT or trying to
live his friggin' life.
Okay, well then I say we
get him off the pot.
I know I would if a carload
full of fans wanted
to tell me how great I was.
Yes!
Yeah I wouldn't hold your
breath there now.
You know what, we're doin' it.
Oh, no, Wayne.
Oh yeah, we're doing it.
Yes yes yes yes yes!
Alica: Stop it.
God, no, no, mom, mom, no.
Oh god.
Come on, come on,
come on.
Please please please?
Hello?
Hi, mister,
Mister Thomas?
Excuse me?
It's Wayne Stobierski.
I just wanted to let you know
that there is a
carload full of fans
who would just love
a chance to...
Yeah yeah yeah.
Sir, sir?
Gorman Thomas hasn't lived
here for 10 years.
Oh!
Okay, do you happen to know
where he moved to by chance?
Um, let me check.
No, 'cause I don't
keep tabs on him.
Oh, okay.
Now turn that piece
of crap around.
Hey, no need to be rude!
Stick your pizza fork in
your ear, you snob!
- What did you say?
- Yeah, you couldn't carry
Gordon Thomas' sweaty jockstrap,
you piece of shit!
- Gorman!
- Gorman.
- Whatever.
- Get out of here,
he's gonna call the police.
No, do it!
Oh, ah!
All right.
Okay, just give a minute here.
What's wrong with you?
What?
What is wrong with you?
Nothing.
It's just, ooh.
Those little bums are fast!
When's the last time
you seen a doctor?
Hmm, give me a break,
look at me.
What, are you kidding me?
At our age you gotta get an
annual physical.
Chuck.
I told him.
Oh, baloney.
Come on, look at this.
I'm a frickin specimen, okay?
Oh, yeah?
All right, let me see something.
Hold your hands out.
Palms up.
No, no, this way, come here.
All right, let me just
see something.
All right, well your arteries
don't feel too hard.
But okay, let me see
something else.
All right, go like this, right.
Now stick your tongue out
and roll your eyes
in the back of your head.
Now you look as dumb as you are.
I mean, come on, what do you
think you get a bump on the head
and it tells you you have
high cholesterol?
You gotta get your blood drawn.
Did you know that I
was this close
to having diabetes II?
And the doctor says just
cut out potatoes
and now I'm good.
You gotta get your liver
checked, Wayne.
How much did that
doc charge you
to tell you to cut out
the potatoes huh?
I don't have the money for that,
all right?
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, how's Diedra?
Is she still at the hospital?
Yup, she doing good.
How can she be good if
she's in the hospital?
She's a nurse, hello.
How the hell am I
supposed to know?
I mean I haven't seen her
since I was like nine.
Diedra's my mom but she's not
married to my dad.
My mom's married to my stepdad.
He wants us to move to Phoenix
but we're not gonna.
The Diamondbacks suck.
Hey, I heard a rumor that
you're going to see
a baseball game with your
dad tomorrow night.
Is that true?
Uh huh.
Oh you lucky duck, huh?
Nice.
So you gonna tell me
what's going on?
Ah.
Wayne lost custody.
Diedra and Stu are
moving to Arizona.
Oh my god, when?
As soon as the house sells.
Tyler don't know yet.
Wayne's supposed to tell him.
Oh my god.
Wow.
How many people is that?
That's something innit?
Well you wait 'til tomorrow.
Baseball game, stadium's gonna
be full of people
and you're gonna be
right down there
in the front row.
No big deal.
No big deal.
Yup.
Big city's kinda neat, huh?
Uh huh.
Could you imagine if you
lived in a place like this?
All the cool stuff that
you could do?
You know you can go to
like a museum
or go to the zoo.
All the ballgames that
you can go too.
Can Matt come with
us tomorrow?
Yeah, I wish, but I
just got tickets
for you know, me,
you and Chuck, so.
But what I was saying about
living in a city like this,
Can Matt come up for
my birthday then?
No, he can't because he
got school, okay?
Will you listen?
I'm trying to tell
you somethin'.
I...
I just...
He's got school, okay?
My birthday's on a Saturday,
I looked it up.
Saturday, huh?
Well.
Let's see if he can come
up then, okay?
Okay.
Heard in the day
Led by the moonlight
Have all passed away
Beautiful dreamer
Have one beer.
No point in feeling like
crap all weekend.
Either way...
here.
What the hell is that for?
The 10 you didn't drink today.
Give me a break.
Stick it in your jar.
You earned it.
We both know you gotta quit.
Just saying, start Monday.
You got enough on your
plate this weekend.
Toss this for me, will you?
I fought that thing off all day.
Not one drop went in my mouth,
not one, check the seal.
Don't tell Alicia.
I need a change of scenery
Some place with greenery
I'll throw the dice,
let's go gamble on tonight
Let's spin the wheel
Drop the ball where ever we feel
Difference between real
and surreal
Let's go gamble on tonight
Because I need a
change of scenery
Shut up.
Some place with greenery
I didn't say nothing.
Doesn't look back
on a one way track
I don't know where
I'm heading to
If the wind blows
A warm a sweater to
feel so right
Let's go gamble on tonight
And I say yes, sir
We're sort of a mess, sir
We can't pass the test, sir
We're half way to bye
And I say yes, sir
We're sort of a mess, sir
We will not rest, sir
'Til our troubles are behind
Because I need a
Change of scenery
Some place with greenery
I'll take the path
On the map that
doesn't look back
I'm leaving Lorraine.
Are you okay?
It feels good to be here.
Looking for something?
Oh, ah.
I wanted a glass of milk.
The big white gallon jug
right in front.
Want some cookies with that?
Sure.
You mind if I join you?
Thanks.
Yup.
Chuck told me about Tyler.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Morning.
Hey, mornin'.
Yeah, coffee's ready over there.
Thank you.
Yes.
You know,
Milwaukee's not a bad town.
I mean once you get used to all
the hustle and bustle,
and that room upstairs,
I mean, it's yours.
Thanks, sis.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Hey there!
Hey.
So, listen.
I told Matty that he could
take my ticket.
Oh yeah?
You sure you don't mind?
Ah, I'll stay here,
listen to it on the radio.
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Woo, here we go boys!
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Okay, Tyler, Matt,
I need you to listen to me
real closely, okay?
From now until the moment
that our butts
are in those dark green seats,
I need you to stay close to me,
okay?
Now we're about to enter
what the ancient Italians
called the Coliseum.
All right, and I guarantee
you'll never forget this moment
for the rest of your lives.
Got it?
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Okay?
Let's do this, huh?
All right.
Right, Tyler, you stay
right there, hang on.
Let's go, pal.
Tickets please.
Thank you.
Tickets please.
Tickets please.
Thank you, tickets please.
Thank you.
Enjoy the game.
Tickets please.
Thank you, enjoy the game sir.
Tickets please.
Yes sir, three of us.
Thank you.
Yup, thank you.
Wait, hold up, hold them up.
Yeah.
Let me see those.
Yeah, first base.
Aw, man.
These are for Saturday's game.
What?
What are you talking about?
These are for
yesterday's game, look.
Oh.
Man, I'm sorry, I've
seen it happen before.
No, no, no, I paid good money
for these tickets.
I'm sorry man, it's not
the first time.
I don't understand.
No, I paid a lot of money
for these tickets.
Look.
Hey, look, wait.
We drove all the way
from up north.
I came with my son and
his cousin here
and it's his first time to
see the game, so,
if you could, just,
I'm sorry, man.
I don't know what to tell you.
Well, just tell me
that I can get in!
No, no, there's a
customer service table
right over here.
Okay.
Maybe they can get you
some other seats.
Okay but I'm just, I wanna go.
- It's out of my hands.
- Hey!
Yo, look, I gotta get you
out of the line.
Nothing I can do, buddy.
I gotta get you out of the line.
Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
Okay, boys.
Sorry.
Come over here.
There's too many.
Just wait.
Okay, wait right here.
Listen.
Matt, you got any money on you?
What do you have?
A couple dollars?
I do.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, put that back
in your pocket.
Look, you wait right here.
I'm gonna go take care of this.
But I need you guys to stay
right here, okay?
Tyler, you stay right here,
okay?
Right here with your cousin,
you got it?
Matty, you keep an eye on him,
okay?
Don't let him out of your sight.
I'll be right back, okay?
Don't.
Don't go anywhere.
Hi there.
Hey.
Oh, come on, how
bad could it be?
You're white, you got a dick.
No, I'm not in the mood,
Leesh.
Come here.
No, I'm not in the mood.
Don't be a dumb-ass,
I said come here.
- Look, I have some stuff...
- I'm serious,
just two seconds, come on!
Check of the runner on base.
Here comes Miller
with the pitch.
And that's high.
Ball to Weeden.
He doesn't wanna give Weeden
anything in the wheel.
I'm not a squirt.
You are a squirt, big time.
Total squirt.
Yeah you are a squirt,
you're both squirts.
Yeah, yeah he is,
but so are you.
Big time, I'm not a squirt,
you two are.
Weeden gets all of it, I mean.
- Yup, yup!
- Are you kidding me?!
Come on, you hear that,
you hear that?
Do you hear?
Oh my gosh!
Nice!
Yes, I told you.
Didn't I tell you, yeah?
That's insane!
Oh god, you see that?
Do you hear that?
Wow, dude!
Where's your stuff?
I thought I might stay
on for a little.
It'll give you some alone
time with Tyler
and me with Alicia.
But if you got any worry that
you're not gonna be
okay to drive or anything,
No, no, no, no, we'll be fine.
You sure?
Yeah, yeah, we'll be fine.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
So Tyler.
Yeah?
Grab some ice cream
before I drop you home?
Okay.
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
So listen, champ.
There's something I
gotta tell ya.
It ain't gonna be easy for me
but I don't want you
getting mad at your mom
because it's my fault, okay.
It's not hers.
Your mom loves you very much
and she just wants
what's best for you.
But...
We're not gonna get to see each
other for a little while.
Why?
Well, you see,
you're gonna be moving with
your mom and Stu
to Phoenix soon.
What?
Yeah, I...
Why?!
You gotta trust me,
it's gonna be a good
thing for you okay?
You said I didn't have to!
Yeah, I know I said that
but there are
opportunities out there.
And your stepdad has
some opportunities
and you're gonna have some
opportunities too.
I don't care,
you said I didn't have to!
I know, I know.
You gotta trust me
when I say it's gonna
be good for ya.
Okay, you're gonna make new
friends out there.
You're gonna see mountains.
And it's a real city, champ.
It's a real city and
you'll get to see
all kinds of things like we saw.
Hey, you know what, I promise
I'll come see you.
Everything like
that is garbage!
I only like you.
I understand that, champ.
I understand, but I'm gonna come
out there and see you
as much as I can.
You know what, we're gonna
go to a ballgame.
And we're gonna get
in this time.
The Diamondbacks suck.
Yeah.
I know.
It just isn't fair.
I'm sorry.
But this is my fault.
It's got nothing to do with you.
Is it because you're
an alcoholic?
Yeah.
Can't you take some medicine?
You know, I wish there
was some, but.
You can't just stop?
No.
I can't.
I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
Hey.
I just told him.
I couldn't really bring
myself to do it
'til just now.
And I need to tell you.
We didn't go camping.
I took him to Milwaukee and we
stayed with Alicia.
So sorry that I lied.
I wanted to take him
to a ballgame.
It's okay, Wayne.
I figured it was something.
I showed him the city, Dee.
And we went on a boat.
And um, he just had
the time of his life.
I did the best I could.
I told him that this would be a
good thing for him.
Him moving out there was
gonna be good.
So just,
just make sure that it is.
Will you?
I will.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Wayne.
Are you gonna be okay?
I don't know.
Try.
All right?
Okay.
No, Wayne.
Try.
Okay.
Oh, frickin' Oprah.
Frickin' Oprah.
Good night, mercy
With you 'til the end
The earth it keeps on spinning
Good night
The night makes you thirsty
Drink up one more time
Let's not start a fight now,
good night
There's no catch to
All the ways I love you
Do your best to
Lock me out but I'm still here
Good night, mercy
The day comes to pass
Sippin' our last glass now
Good night
Good night
There's no end to
All the ways I love you
Do my best to
Hang on tight
Yeah I'm still here
Good night, mercy
You haven't said a thing
Passed down through my singing
Good night
Runner at second takes his lead.
D'Amato has his sign.
2-0 pitch on the way.
And that's a shot to
left center.
Screw me!
Moron.
And the
batter's gonna pull in at second
with a stand up double, so the
situation just got a whole lot...
Dammit, D'Amato, get your...
Frickin' moron.
Riba drove it
right where he wanted to.
D'Amato hasn't been able to
do it right now.
If he can settle down in this
situation and get an out,
Throw him the slider.
Don't be a dumb-ass, D'Amato.
You know he likes that fastball.
Yup, if he's stupid.
Gotta make him reach.
Call it in.
They need you, Wayne.
Hey, would you shut up, Chuck?
Hey, you should be
General Manager now.
Hey, all I'm saying is you've
gotta make him reach.
All I'm saying is D'Amato
loves that high cheese, right?
Thanks for that.
But you know what,
hey look at me.
You know best.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do know best.
Swing and a drive,
deep center field!
Are you shittin' me?
Hey, that's enough.
I'm sorry.
Hey, no, I ain't kiddin' ya.
That's enough out of you, Chuck!
God dammit!
What did I say about drinkin'
while you're working, Wayne?
It's after four, Elmer.
I ain't even
supposed to be here.
Ain't getting paid either.
20 hours a week max.
Told you 10 times.
Yeah, I'm just trying to
finish this up for ya.
Well, I ain't
paying you for it.
Okay...
Dokey.
Fastball has not been working
for D'Amato that much is clear
so far in this game.
You try to keep the spirits up.
It's a long season.
Yeah yeah, what do you
think about that, huh?
Yeah, yeah?
Gimme my hat!
Oh!
Good night, mercy
With you 'til the end
The earth it keeps on spinning
Good night
The night makes you thirsty
Drink up one more time
Let's not start a fight now,
good night
There's no catch to
All the ways I love you
Do your best to
Lock me out but I'm still here
Good night, mercy
The day comes to pass
More for the lovebirds!
Okay!
Good night
Woah, that was a good one.
There's no end to
All the ways I love you
Wayne!
Do my best to
Hang on tight
Yeah I'm still here
Good night, mercy
You haven't said a thing
Passed down through my singing
Good night
Go baby, go baby, come on!
Wayne, Wayne, Wayne!
God dammit!
Wayne, Wayne, Wayne!
Are you all right, you okay?
Hey, that was kind of awesome.
Mhmm, Mhmm!
Oh, crap.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh, hey there.
You all right in there, buster?
There you go, yeah.
You really gotta learn to shit
in one place, huh.
Look at you, all right.
Get you, ah, come.
Hey, hello?
Dee, I'm gonna be a little,
hello?
Hey, Diedra.
Sorry, I...
He's inside. I'll go get him.
All right, I'll just
wait out here then.
Hey Wayne.
How you doing?
What you got going on today?
Oh, not much, just play it
by ear. We'll see.
St. Augustine's having
their carnival
with the raffle and the dunker
thingy this afternoon.
Is that right?
So listen...
Since we got a moment here,
I just wanna say about
this court thing.
I apologize.
It's not personal.
I need the job.
Well take it.
But no need to apologize,
'cause you're not taking my
kid to New Mexico.
Arizona.
Wherever.
Phoenix is a good place,
Wayne.
Not just for me, there'd be
opportunities for...
Whatever, Stu.
You heard the judge last time
this crap came up.
I'm his dad, not you, okay?
Hey, there's my champ!
How's it going, pal?
Good.
Yeah, you ready to have
a good weekend?
- Yeah!
- Huh yeah, all right!
Why don't you wait in the car
for a second, okay?
Man, getting heavy.
Hey, Dee.
Can I just talk to you
for a second?
I was thinking that,
maybe I don't know, I can keep
Tyler 'til Monday?
You know that way I'd get a
little extra time with him,
and it's the back and forth
with the gas and all.
Do you need gas money, Wayne?
No, no, that's not
what I'm saying.
I was just thinking that,
that I could get a little
extra time with him.
And I don't know, maybe...
What about court Monday?
Or Sunday school tomorrow, did
you think about that?
No.
Okay, I need him back by 10,
please.
Ah, jeez!
At the latest.
What is it with the evil eye
you've been giving me
ever since I got here?
You're late again.
Yeah and I tried to call
you to tell you that.
I don't wanna hear it.
I just, I don't want you
disappointing our son.
Disappointing him?
What are you talking about?
Did he say that?
What happened to your car?
Nothing, that's,
that happened at work.
That is a work mishap.
Ah, jeez, for crying outside,
can I just come pick up
my son for once
without getting the
third degree?
Sure, when you start acting
like a responsible adult.
Okay, fine.
As a responsible adult,
I gotta tell you,
that guy over there?
The French got a word for him,
douchebag, okay?
I don't like the way
he looks at me.
I don't like the way he talks,
he talks to me like
he's the dad.
For crying out loud, I'm the...
Great.
Hey champ.
You ready to hit it?
Yeah.
Yeah?
All right, why don't you go
get in the car?
Have him back on time, please.
Sorry.
Any trains coming?
All clear?
Clear.
What?
I asked you if there were
any trains coming.
Oh.
I was thinking about
something else.
What kind of
co-captain are you,
you're not gonna tell me if a
train's coming or not?
Oh, okay.
Come on.
Hey, all right, all right,
uncle!
You're getting strong,
you know that?
Jeez!
Look at you.
What else is going on, huh?
How's your girlfriend,
what's her name?
What girlfriend?
Come on, you're really not
gonna tell me again?
Stop asking about girlfriends
I don't have, I don't want,
and I don't need.
Right, right, fair enough.
But you know you can talk to me
about anything, right?
Like how you're feelin'.
Like if you're not
sure of something
or if you're
disappointed in anything.
You could tell me that stuff.
Uh huh.
So you're not any of those?
You're not disappointed
in like a pal
or maybe one of your teachers
or even your old man over here?
You can tell me.
Well.
D'Amato sorta sucked yesterday.
You're damn right he su...
Darn, shit, shoot!
Hey, forget that one, okay?
Okay.
Yeah, dum dum D'Amato blew
that game didn't he?
Yeah.
Dum dum D'Amato.
For crying outside.
I got nobody, who'd you get?
Jimmy Benshaw.
Are you shittin' me,
I mean kiddin' me?
You got Jimmy Benshaw?
You are a lucky duck,
you know that?
Trade you for your Bob Hoyt
and your Derek Gordon?
Oh, a two-fer again?
Man, I don't know
about that trade.
I think you might be
getting the best...
The best of me on that one, huh?
I'll let you know when we get
back, how's that sound?
Okay.
Go ahead, pick you out a worm.
Go ahead, I can't be worming
your hooks for you forever.
Does it hurt them?
I don't think so.
See the worms, they
don't have the same
nerve endings like we do.
Worms you can tell, is just,
they're just full of goo anyway.
So the way I see it,
we're kind of doing the
worms a favor.
You know, think about it, you
wanna be crawling around
in that muck your whole life?
Or you wanna go out in a
blaze of glory,
like that worm that hooked your
walleye last weekend.
You see what I'm saying?
Go ahead, grab the lucky winner.
Oh, that's a good one.
You got a good one, ooh.
Alright, you got your hook?
Get your hook.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Just like me.
Nice and easy.
You put it on this part.
That's right, right
there in the top.
Good, now you just drop
it in the water.
Better catch me a
fish one day.
Hey, see that was perfect.
See you can do anything that
you put your mind to,
you know that?
And don't you ever let anybody
tell you otherwise.
'Cause anybody tells
you otherwise,
Is a bum.
That's right, and there's a
lot of bums out there, okay?
Don't you forget about that.
I'm gonna cast mine out and then
do a little worm dance
for good luck.
Here we go.
Little worm dance.
Worm dance
Worm dance
Let's do the worm dance woo hoo
All right, let's go.
All right, go, ready?
All right, here we go.
Straighten up, straighten up,
there you go.
Nice and straight.
Hold straight, all right.
Are you your tippy toes?
Right, stand still.
Alright, let's move
out of there.
Are you shittin' me?
Jeez louise, look at that!
That's me at your age.
You got over an inch
on me already!
We're gonna have to
shrink you back down,
you son of a buck!
All right, here.
Write your name up there.
Finish up, and come help me out,
alright?
Hurry up, I need a hand.
Some good elbow grease you
got there, huh?
Let's get these in here.
Come on.
Oh, look at that, champ.
Wow, that's amazing
what some people
just throw in the trash, huh?
You know what, if you
use your mind
you can always turn nothin'
into something.
Can we paint them next week?
Darnit, can't we just?
Paint's expensive, champ.
Hey.
Listen.
Next time Menard's has that
big paint sale,
let's say you come with me
and I'll let you
pick out the paint, whatever
color you want, huh?
Sound good, all right?
Well you walk around,
you feel it out.
Tell me what color you
think you'd like.
What color did
they used to be?
They used to be ivory white.
The whole thing, real elegant.
Ivory white!
Yeah?
Deal.
This one?
That's the one.
Wayne, get your elbows
off the table.
Sit up straight!
You keep slouching like that,
I'll put a board down the
back of your pants.
What are you grinning at?
Hey you wipe that smirk off
your face, you...
Go get me a beer!
Go get me another beer!
Go on, get!
Hurry up.
Ah, ah, hey, no.
From the back, you lazy bum.
I've been busting my butt at
that mill all day.
It's a thousand
degrees in there,
so when I come home, you get
me the coldest beer
you can find.
You hear that?
Hey, don't you make me
come over there.
I'm coming over there!
You better wipe that grin
off your face.
Whoah, good one there, Ty.
Wow, how about that, huh?
Hey, you want another pop?
No?
What's wrong?
My belly hurts.
Oh, you know what,
it's probably all that
sugar you had.
Here, stand up for a second.
Come here, you all right?
So it's your belly?
Okay, maybe try doing what I do.
Take a big,
and you swallow it like a
cheeseburger.
Ooh, see, just like that,
try that.
Big gulp of air,
then swallow it.
Oh yeah, there you go.
Feel better, is that better?
Yeah.
Attaboy.
Good, come here.
You gotta stay away from all
that sugar, okay?
Let's not drink so many
pops next time.
Okay.
All right.
See, my beers, they
don't have sugar.
Where's Buster?
He's in there.
You know I keep telling
that lazy bum
he's gotta clean his room.
He can't.
He's a fish.
Hey you wanna
help me change his water?
Okay.
All right.
Uh oh, game's about to start.
Tell you what.
We'll give him this in
just a minute
but I gotta go down
to the basement
and get the popcorn.
Take the elevator up!
Elevator coming up!
Watch out for the weird dude
below the cupboard!
There's not a weird du... oh!
Oh, the weird dude's got me!
Whoah!
All right, wait wait wait,
Tyler, no, no no!
God dammit!
Son of a!
Shit, shit, shit!
Shit!
Hey, you can't go throwing
water on an oil fire
like that, okay?
It just spreads it even more,
you see that?
Oh, hey.
That is not your fault, champ.
You were just trying to help out
and I appreciate that.
You know what, this is a
learning experience.
So it's my job to teach you
about things like this, okay?
It's a darn good learning
experience, right?
So it's a good thing that
this happened, okay?
Hey, so what do you say we just
do chips instead, huh?
Kramer checks
and delivers the ball up.
Nibbling a little bit here.
Nibbling a little bit
here against him.
So Kramer,
Wayne?
Wayne?
Huh, what?
Tyler?
Oh!
Yeah, yeah, shh.
Under here, under here,
under here.
Champ, under here.
Yeah, I got, we'll be
right there!
Open the door!
Okay, coming.
Hey, Diedra, what are
you doing here?
It's 11 o'clock!
What?
No it's not.
Get your shoes on!
Oh, the winder.
He didn't.
Oh, really?
Well that, well Tyler helped
with the pop cans of course.
Oh my god, what, was
there a fire?
Oh, just a little popcorn
oil spill is all.
It was just small one, right,
champ?
It wasn't big or anything.
It was a learning experience.
That's right.
Get your stuff together
and wait for me in the car.
But it's so small!
Now!
Right, it was a
really small fire.
You don't call, I don't
know what's happened.
Right, I'm sorry, Dee.
Hey, look, it was the clock,
look!
Save it for tomorrow.
Oh come on, what
are you doing?
Your fish is dead.
What?
Ah, Buster.
Judge: Mr. Stobierski, this
isn't the first time
we've been through this.
And Mrs. Schmidt has every
right to be concerned
about your son's safety.
Why?
I don't do nothing to hurt him.
It always starts with some
kind of shenanigans.
Shenanigans?
And it turns into
something worse.
He was drinking heavily
around Tyler.
He was late for his curfew
and I'm pretty sure he
was driving drunk.
Diedra!
I'm right here.
Why are you talking to her
like I'm not here?
Mr. Stobierski, please,
just calm down.
Sorry, I just,
she's talking like I'm
not even here
and Johnny Lucky over there's
got a smile on his face.
How about I come over there
and knock that smile
off your face, it's not a joke!
That's a threat, your honor.
A threat, he's talking like
I'm not even here!
Wayne!
One more outburst and I'll have
you taken into custody
for contempt, I won't
have a choice.
I'm sorry, Jenny.
Judge, I just,
she's talking like, I'm just
feeling cornered right now.
And this is all just because
my stupid cuckoo clock
stopped working.
And the batteries...
No it isn't.
This is about a
pattern of behavior.
These are the results from your
psychological examination.
You suffer from alcoholism,
minor but chronic depression,
you have anger
management issues.
No I don't have anger issues!
I'm not depressed.
Your police record,
aggravated assault,
public intoxications, two OWis,
indecent public exposure.
Yeah, I thought that it
was a men's room.
And you thought that the sink
looked like a urinal.
The sinks were very low in
that ladies' room.
Very deceiving!
Now.
In the past, I've
repeatedly turned down
Mrs. Schimdt's requests
for full custody
to allow, on hardship grounds,
a move to Arizona
I've done this even though
Mr. Schmidt's company
offers full medical
coverage for your son.
Well, he just don't need it,
he's a healthy kid.
And I've done this
because I've taken
your rights as a responsible
father into account.
But at a certain point, as
I've warned you,
Mr. Stobierski, a lack of
responsibility on your part
diminishes those rights.
Your rights as a father
becomes secondary
to the interests of your child.
Therefore, the State of
Wisconsin feels
a change would be in
everyone's best interests
particularly your son's.
Particularly my son's?
Why don't we just ask my son?
Let's ask him.
I'll get him on the phone.
Let's ask him.
We can't expect a nine year
old to know what's best.
You have neglected
your son's safety
and endangered him on
numerous occasions.
Being such,
the state orders that full
custody of Tyler
be turned over solely to his
mother Mrs. Schmidt.
You're granted permission to
make all decisions
on his behalf including where
you choose to reside.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, shut up.
Hey, you shut your mouth!
Wayne!
Wayne.
Diedra?
Dee, are you gonna say
something, Dee?
Now is the time.
Diedra, can you say something?!
Dee!
Okay.
You don't know me.
I thought you did.
None of yous know me.
For Christ's sakes, you
followin' me?
You're not hard to find.
What do you want, Dee?
What else you gonna take?
Wayne.
What, what?
Buy you a drink?
Please go ahead, on me.
I just wanna talk,
please.
No, take it.
Take it all, Dee.
Here, have a Jaeger.
Dammit, Wayne.
What, I'm done!
I don't wanna talk, Dee.
I'm done with the damn talkin'.
Wayne.
What?
You're taking my son, Dee.
That's what you're doing.
Why?
'Cause you're a fuck-up.
Okay.
Look, it is what it is.
But I...
I wanna give you the
chance to tell him.
Tell him what?
Tell him what, Dee?
We're moving.
No.
Wayne.
You're not movin', Dee.
We know that you're not
gonna go anywhere.
Wayne.
What?!
Why, why would I tell him that?
Why should I?
'Cause he's gonna be
heartbroke, is why.
And he needs to hear it from you
that it's best for him.
It ain't what's best.
It is.
It's going to be a good change.
Change is good.
There's nothing here for him
once he grows up.
I'm here, Diedra.
I'm right here.
You're gonna die.
You're gonna die just
like your dad died.
It's best Tyler doesn't
grow up to see that.
If you care about him,
you'll let him go
instead of blaming me
for takin' him.
Either way.
If you don't tell him, I will.
Let me know what you decide.
Okay.
And Wayne.
You can't keep fixing a house
that's not yours anymore.
I told you you
needed a lawyer.
Yeah and how the hell was
I gonna pay for one?
Jesus, Wayne.
So when's all this
supposed to happen?
Listin' their damn
house already.
Change is good, she says.
My ass!
How am I gonna afford to
get out to Phoenix
more than once a year?
I don't get to be his
dad no more.
Does Tyler know yet?
God dammit!
Jeez.
It's all right.
It's a nice shot.
A three in one situation here
as Valentine, he is not
even swinging.
He's just saying hey,
throw me a strike
and D'Amato has
struggled to do so.
Coming from the wind up,
and guess what, folks.
So Valentine's aboard.
Siefer comes home with another
run for St. Louis.
And D'Amato,
Can they still win?
Of course they can.
It ain't over 'til it's over.
Ready for a Usingers, Ty?
It's a brat.
It's not just a brat.
It's a Usingers!
Best brats in the world.
They haven't changed the
secret ingredients
in that sausage for a
hundred years, 'cause
a brat don't get any
better than that.
Yeah, don't change nothing
'cause change don't make
things better.
Did you know that the street
where they make them
are still made out of bricks
just like in the horse
and buggy days?
Can we go?
No, champ, that's all the way
down in Milwaukee.
Does everything good
come from Milwaukee?
The Packers are
from Green Bay.
But everything else.
Beer, Bucks, Dusingers.
Usingers.
Well you know, you got an aunt
and a cousin down there, Ty.
I do?
You sure do.
And D'Amato starts...
It's a strike!
Right down the middle.
Can we go, please?
Get down there someday, champ.
Okay.
Look, maybe
D'Amato's getting back
a little confidence here.
0 and one.
Hey Chuck, looks like
Lorraine's having a great time.
Oh, come on.
Jeff's had the hots for Lorraine
since fifth grade.
It don't mean nothing.
She married me.
Chuck!
Could you grab me a beer?
Sure, okay.
I just painted my nails.
Hey, Lorraine.
Those two stumps below your ass
are what God gave you
to move with.
Screw you, Wayne.
No thanks!
Shut the fuck up, hey!
I warned you, Buster.
I see you're chasing
with another
And no there's nothing I can do
I know that love comes
with no guarantee
But I believe the wind sets free
We'll have a big old house
with lots of rooms
But the wind blows
And all the dreams just
slipped away
Hey there Wayne.
What do you got for me today?
Well, Tom.
I got all of them.
You're kidding me.
Nope.
Not a nick on any of those,
mint condition.
Your Hank Aaron rookie and
Roger Maris still in there?
Yep, all in there.
Sheesh.
You getting married?
You shittin' me?
No, just take a look and give me
a fair price, okay?
Also, I need you to
work your magic.
I need two tickets for Milwaukee
Chicago, first base line.
Hey, hey, it don't matter
what they cost.
Saturday or Sunday you want?
Make it Saturday.
No, no, no, make it Sunday.
No, no, no.
You know what, it don't matter.
Just give me the best seats
you can find, okay?
Take a look.
Not a nick on any of those,
mint condition.
Hey, Dee.
Thanks for coming.
Sure.
So.
Waitress: Would you like a menu,
Dee?
Oh, no thanks, Bitsy.
Wait, wait, wait, no.
You love the pie here.
Why don't you order a
piece of pie?
Because I don't have time.
Oh, well to go then.
Would you, on me?
Okay.
Yeah.
A piece of key lime
to go please.
Got it.
So, how's things at
the hospital?
Fine.
Yeah?
So did you decide?
Are you gonna tell him or am I?
No, you're right,
I'll tell him.
It should come from me.
But I do have one favor to
ask you in return.
I was thinking,
I was thinking that maybe I
could keep Tyler
for a weekend before you leave.
Wayne.
Look, I just,
I wanna do something
special for him.
Okay, I wanna take him
someplace that I know
he's gonna...
Wait, wait, wait.
You wanna take him out of town?
Well, yeah.
But some place close by.
You know, I was
thinking that maybe
Crescent Lake we could go to
and we could do some
camping and fishing
and do like father-son stuff.
I can't.
Why?
What, no?
But you can.
Come on, Dee.
Look, all I'm asking for
is a little extra time
with my son, okay?
I wanna give him something
to remember me by.
Dee, I'm begging you here.
Don't.
No, I just, I'm serious.
I will pack the cooler
with nothing but sodas, okay?
No beer.
I'm not gonna take any
of that stuff,
I swear to you!
There's gonna be no brandy,
no wine coolers.
All right.
What?
Oh, Diedra, that's fantastic.
On one condition.
One condition, okay anything.
I'm gonna need a chaperone.
A what?
What the hell are you
talking about?
- Wayne.
- What?
I can't worry myself
sick all weekend.
I can't do it anymore.
Okay well, how the hell am I
gonna find a chaperone?
Ask Chuck.
Chuck?
Mhmm.
You're saying you trust Chuck
more than you trust me?
Oh, don't sugarcoat
it or anything.
Fine, I will ask Chuck.
You know, if I'm buying then
Chuck's gonna be
right next to me.
Chuck it is, he's coming.
I'm gonna need to
hear it from him.
Oh, give me a break, Dee.
Can you give me a break?
I will ask Chuck to be my,
is he my chaperone
or is he Tyler's chaperone?
Wayne.
I'll ask him to be
the chaperone.
You're still pulling a
little right.
How many times I gotta tell you,
Lou?
You gotta keep the same line.
Hey, somebody traded
beer cans with me
and that one seems to be
empty for some reason.
Why don't you give me
one more freshie
and then we'll call it a night?
On Chuck!
All right.
You gonna tell me what we're
celebrating tonight?
You're always in
such a hurry, huh?
You just gotta, you gotta
slow down sometimes
and smell the roses.
God yeah, I wish that's
what I was smellin.
Oh, Chuckitty, Chuck Chuck,
Chuckin', Chuckster!
Wait, wait, Jesus Christ.
I told you I hate that.
You have no idea how
lucky you are.
You are in for a treat, friend.
I mean a real big treat.
Yeah, sure.
So, first off, I'm taking
Tyler to Milwaukee.
What?
When?
This weekend.
Diedra agreed to that?
Yep, yep, yep.
She sure did.
Huh.
I did sort of tell her
I was going campin'.
What?
What the hell you do that for?
Well because she
would have said no
for no good reason otherwise.
Now listen to me.
I don't know Wayne,
it sounds like a bad idea
that'd just end up bad.
What?
No, it's a good idea.
I'm doing something
special for him
so he don't forget about me.
He's not gonna forget you.
Oh yeah?
I can't remember
nothing from that age
except me sitting in
front of the TV
and my old man throwing
his shoe at me
for sitting too close.
You know, I'm doing it.
I'm taking him on this trip.
You heard him.
He said he wanted to go,
so I'm taking him on a trip
that he deserves.
You know, I'm gonna show him
what an ocean looks like
before they take him out
and stick him out
in the middle of the
frickin desert!
Ocean?
Yeah.
Ocean?
Milwaukee's on Lake Michigan
last time I checked.
Yeah, could you see
clear across it
last time you checked?
No, you couldn't.
Like an ocean.
Just like I was sayin'.
And hey, here's the best part.
I got three tickets
to a ballgame.
Milwaukee Chicago, one of 'em
has your name on it.
Guess where they are.
Front row, first baseline,
no big deal.
Oh.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about you
being my best friend
so you're coming with
us and I'm not
gonna take no for an answer.
Oh, I don't know.
Not gonna take I
don't know either!
Ah jeez, Wayne.
I've been a part of your
failed missions before.
What, goddamit, you're
coming with me!
I already told Tom to get
us three tickets!
Well what the hell'd
you do that for?
How the hell are you paying
for all this anyway?
Hey, don't you
worry about that.
You are gonna be my guest.
All weekend, I got you covered.
Jesus H!
You got a secret pot
farm or somethin'?
No, no, no, I sold my cards.
Yeah, I sold my Maris,
sold my Aaron.
I sold them all, so I...
Oh, okay!
Oh, crap.
Time for you to
go home, Wayne.
Hey, you gotta fix that chair.
It's no good.
Hey listen, can I just get...
You're done.
Okay, take him home Chuck.
Goddamit!
Hey, hey,
you are done.
Just give me a roadie.
Let's just get a roadie.
Sorry, Earl.
So is she your wife or
is she your boss?
Hey Now.
I just want you to
come with me, okay?
You're my bosom bud.
Okay?
Okay?
All right, already.
Lorraine ain't gonna like it.
What, just tell her you're
coming, goddamit!
Stand up for yourself for once.
Hey, I said I was coming.
Don't make me change my mind.
Just calling it the
way I see it.
Yeah, like you see it, huh?
How many fingers?
Get outta here.
What I thought.
God!
Every time.
- Oh, just like that, oh yeah!
- Oh, yeah?
Oh, fuck!
Oh god!
Chuck!
The hell are you doing home?
We got kicked out of the bar.
Hi, Jeff.
Chuck, hey.
I'll see you guys later.
Chuck?
What the hell?
Yeah.
You were right.
I know.
About what?
Walked in on Lorraine and
Postman Jeff last night.
Ah, jeez, I'm sorry.
You okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's no problem.
What's all this?
We're going campin' remember?
No slip-ups!
So where are we staying
when we get down there, huh?
With Alicia?
What are you, nuts?
Why the hell would we
stay with Alicia?
I don't know, 'cause
she's your sister?
Oh, real sisterly what
she done to me.
Real sisterly.
That's a long time ago.
Yeah, so is Pearl Harbor.
We just supposed to forgive
and forget that too?
Well we kinda did
like 60 years ago.
Oh, bull crap, says who?
Says my TV, my VCR, your
Toyota Corolla.
This is where we're staying.
Huh, take a look at that.
That's only the finest hotel in
the whole damn city.
You know who stays there?
Presidents.
You know who else stays there?
We stay there!
We're going first
class all weekend.
Get that through your
thick skull.
The Pfister?
Uh huh!
Doesn't sound real pleasant.
Gimme that.
So you're telling me
we're gonna go
all the way down there
and you're not gonna
see your family?
Exactly.
We are going down
there to have fun,
which by definition
means no Alicia.
Hey, hey, Chuck, the beer.
What about it?
Chuck, the beer,
get rid of it!
Hey, not right there!
Hi, Chuck.
Hey, Ty, how you doing?
Good.
Hey, champ.
Hey, Chuck.
Hey, Dee.
Lorraine okay with you
abandoning her all weekend?
Yeah, yeah.
No problem there.
Hey Diedra.
You thirsty?
Can I get you some sodas or
water or anything?
No thanks.
No, I'm good.
Hey.
Thank you.
Hey, I really appreciate you
agreeing to go along.
Yeah, sure Dee.
Hey, hey, Chuck.
Hey, pal.
Would you mind helping Tyler
with his sleeping bag?
What?
Yeah, sure.
See ya, Dee.
He's real excited.
Oh, that's great, Diedra,
it's real great.
You will talk to him.
Yeah, of course.
Okay, thank you.
What?!
Bosom bud?
What, you are.
I want you with us, Chuck.
Yeah, 'cause you need
a babysitter.
Oh, now that's a
crock of crap.
Don't lie to me, Wayne.
Got enough of that in my life.
Hey I ain't lying to ya.
I wanted you to go!
Diedra wants you to go,
everyone wants you to go, what's
the matter with that?
You can be a real jerk
sometimes, you know that?
What?
Let's get this show on the road!
Let's go, Tyler!
Lorraine: Hey.
Where are you going, Chuck?
Nowhere.
I just seen you put your bag
in Wayne's truck, dumb-ass.
You're going somewhere.
Well, okay.
If you leave, don't ever
come back, you hear?
Do you hear me, Chuck?
Don't ever come back!
And you are never gonna get
any more of this!
Was that a boob?
In his tin cup I did drop it
And I heard him say as I
made my retreat
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
May an elephant caress
you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with
runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Are we going to Minocqua?
Nope, guess again.
Star Lake?
Uh-uh.
Eagle River?
Nope.
You wanna tell him?
I don't wanna be the only one
in on your scheme.
Hey.
In on what?
So I got a question
for you, Ty.
Who's your favorite team
playing this weekend?
Chi-gag-o.
Yep, and where are
they playing 'em?
Milwaukee!
What'd you say?
Milwaukee.
Well yeah, I guess we are
going to Milwaukee!
On account of these three
tickets I got for us, huh!
Are you shitting me!?
Hey you can't, you
can't say that.
Oops, I mean are you serious?
Oh, I'm serious as Aaron
Rodgers down by six
three seconds on the clock
fourth and goal serious.
Here, check them out
for yourself.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
Hey be careful,
don't tear those.
Those are first base line.
No big deal.
Wow.
Spitting distance
from home plate.
Tyler And No big deal.
Not to mention, I'm taking you
to the world famous
Wisconsin State Fair!
No big deal.
And I'm gonna show you what
an ocean looks like!
It's a lake.
That looks like an ocean!
No big deal!
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Oh yeah!
May the elephant
Caress you with his toes
May your wife be plagued with
runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Let's so how far I can throw it.
You okay?
Yeah.
You sure?
I don't know.
I guess deep down I always
knew about Lorraine.
Still, makes a guy feel
kind of inadequate.
Hey.
Don't you even go there.
That is bullcrap.
How else am I supposed to feel
walking in on that?
I keep seeing it over and
over in my head like
in slow motion.
I seen something too though,
you know?
Don't forget his gym locker
used to be next to mine.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means Postman Jeff ain't
any more adequate
than you are.
Trust me on that.
Son of a bitch has a droopy
nutsack too, huh?
Yeah, Wayne.
See that's not an image I need
in my head either right now.
Oh, crap.
Oh, stupid, yeah.
Nutsack, fuck.
You should just
forget about that.
Oh, me?
- Yeah.
- Forget, sure.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Tyler!
Tyler.
My laundry man is
really on his toes
Found a hundred-dollar bill
You seeing all these
bikes or what, champ?
Whoah!
Oh!
And I heard him saying as
I turned to go
May the bird of paradise
fly up your nose
Chuckster!
Waynester.
So I've been thinking.
Oh, that's never been your
strong suit, Chuck.
F you, hear me out.
Six pack of beer
costs like what,
4.50, give or take, yeah?
So?
So you drink like
two sixers a day.
Not every day.
Cut the bull, at least.
That's nine bucks a day, right?
Yeah, so what?
Just do the math.
30 days in a month times nine,
that's like,
hang on.
270, Chuck!
270!
What's your point?
That's like 300
bucks right there.
You cut the beer, you
got yourself
a round trip ticket to Phoenix
every damn month.
Well what am I gonna use to
pay for the beer,
Mr. Math Expert?
You ain't gonna buy
no more beer.
Yeah, you get a jar and you
stick a buck in there.
A what?
Every beer you pass up,
another buck.
Watch her fill up.
Call it Tyler's jar.
I seen it on Oprah.
On Oprah?
Oh.
Oprah?
Do me a favor, Mr. Math Expert.
Stop thinking!
Why wouldn't I just stick that
money in a bank account,
earn some interest, huh?
Think about that?
'Cause you wanna be able
to watch the jar
fill up for motivation.
Watch a jar?
Do you hear yourself?
You just said watch a jar.
Why would I watch a jar, huh?
What am I gonna do when I
get out there, huh?
How am I gonna pay for a hotel?
I sleep outside under the stars?
Who's gonna pay for
the rental car?
I ain't got money for that.
That's your bright idea, huh?
Thank you for such a
bright idea, Chuck.
Real good thinking there,
I really appreciate that.
Bright ideas!
Okey dokey, Wayne, if
you know better.
And I can get a six pack of
Old Style for 4.39!
Every night's like
Saturday night
We'll be coming to
Milwaukee, here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee,
here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee
We'll be coming to Milwaukee
We'll be coming to
Milwaukee here we come
Tyler, Tyler, look,
do you see that?
Tyler, do you see that,
get up here.
See that?
Is that Milwaukee?
You're darn straight it is.
Looks like square mountains.
Square mountains.
You're all right, you know that?
We'll be coming to Milwaukee,
here we come
We'll be coming to Milwaukee,
here we come
Where am I going?
Where are we?
What do you mean where are we?
Wait, what's that
say right there?
I don't know.
Jesus, what's with
all the bikes?
Wait wait.
What exit was that?
Make sure, you gotta give
me plenty of notice.
Okay, well slow down.
I can't slow down.
What exit is this one?
I don't know.
Van Brahn?
Yeah, Van Buren, that's us,
that's us.
The exit's on the left.
What, you gotta get
over to the left.
What are you doing, dammit?
Go to the left, yeah man
you gotta get over,
What, go turn left?
What, no!
Okay, okay.
It's the Van Buren exit.
Well, I don't know.
Welcome to the Pfister.
Would you like some help with
your luggage, sir?
Why yes we would.
Thank you very much.
All right.
It looks like a castle.
Jeez, you sure it's
not too much?
Hey, not another
peep out of you.
Not another one, okay?
Can I look?
Yeah, go for it.
Welcome to
the Pfister.
Checking in this evening?
Ah, yes, we are checking
in this evening.
May I have your name please?
Wayne.
And how are you this evening,
Tracy?
I'm fantastic, thank you for
asking, Mr. Wayne.
Oh no, it's Stobierski,
actually.
Wayne Stobierski.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Stobierski.
Do you mind spelling
that for me?
S-T-O-B-I-E-R-S-K-I.
Sorry, got a long one.
Name, long name, lot of letters.
Yes, okay, then.
Hmm, I'm sorry Mr. Stobierski
but I'm not finding you
in the system.
Oh, well we just got here.
We pulled up just now.
And did you make a
reservation on our website?
You know I tried to.
But I don't have a credit
card right now.
What I do have is a lot of cash.
So I don't mind paying full
freight, of course,
just for the three of us.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Stobierski
but we're completely sold
out this weekend.
Sold out?
But on your internet page,
it says that you have
over 300 rooms.
We do, but with Harleyfest
in town this weekend
we've been booked
solid since March.
Harleyfest?
We're expecting over 100,000
riders in town this weekend.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, Mr. Stobierski.
Well.
Where?
Will our new hotel
be like a castle?
Even better, champ.
Don't you worry about that.
Goddamn room hogs!
Take her easy there.
Hello, hi yes.
I'm looking for a room
this weekend,
Where am I going?
Just drive.
Yeah, no, I'm aware
of Harleyfest.
I was just checking to see if,
yes, hi, I'm looking for a room.
Yes, of course I know about it.
What I'm trying to tell you is.
Hello?
Hello?
Fuck Harleyfest!
Wayne!
What?
Sorry.
Oh.
My phone's out of.
My phone's out of batteries.
Hey, where the hell are we?
I don't know, you
said just drive.
God dammit, Chuck!
Here give me your phone.
I don't have my phone.
What do you mean?
Why don't you have your phone?
I didn't wanna bring it.
Why the hell not?
I didn't feel like it.
Hey, how are you doing?
Can I plug this in somewhere?
Sorry, I'm not allowed that.
There's a payphone outside.
Okay.
Can I get some change then?
You gotta buy something, man.
Hi!
Yes, I am looking for
one room please.
Yeah, today, tonight,
and for three.
We could have like a roll-away?
I'm a paying customer, shh.
I already heard you say that.
I wanna hear you say
something different.
Now I'm gonna say I need a room
and you're gonna say okay.
I need a room.
Wrong, okay!
Try that one more time.
I need a room.
Okay, no, you did it
wrong twice.
Well?
Guy inside says that
there's a motel right,
Oh, shh, shh, shh.
Oh.
Guy that works here says
that there's a motel
right down there.
Okay.
Oh crap, oh crap.
Dammit, Wayne.
The hell you been drinking?
Just go.
Okay.
We're not staying here.
Chuck.
Hey, Alicia.
Hey, Tyler.
Remember me?
It's your Aunt Alicia.
Don't be scared, okay?
It's your Aunt Alicia.
Okay I got him, I got him.
Okay, come here.
Let's go, all right,
get some rest.
Oh, here we go.
God, I don't know what happened.
He's just on the phone
looking for a hotel.
Christ, just like that.
He is a mess.
Uh huh.
Well what are you guys even
doing down here?
Yeah, uh.
Wayne wanted to take
Tyler to a ballgame.
You're a good friend,
you know?
Can I get you a drink?
Yeah, I could use a beer.
All right, have a seat.
I got High Life or IPA.
IPA?
Whatever.
Fancy pants.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll take that.
Who the fuck are you?!
Matt?
Who the fuck are you?
Matt, would you keep
your voice down?
We got guests here.
What the hell for?
And stop swearing.
Hey is that little Matty?
Yeah.
Hey!
It's me, Chuck!
Chuck.
Chuck from like five
years ago Chuck?
Yeah, well you gonna
shake my hand or not?
Holy shit!
You got grubby!
Matt!
What the hell are you doing
all the way down here?
Thanks for the warm welcome,
kid.
Hey, what's all that
stuff on your face?
I'm growing a beard.
Oh, yeah, are you
sure about that?
Hey you know you were
supposed to teach me
how to work on engines.
Yeah, well.
Who told you to move all the
way down here, huh?
I sure didn't.
Hey guys, I gotta go
to work, all right?
You're still working
that third shift.
Yeah.
Listen, you can sleep in my bed,
okay?
Matt, Tyler's in your bed
so you gotta sleep on the couch
and I don't wanna hear.
I can take the couch.
No, no, I don't mind.
What?
Chuck will get all of his
grub on the cushions.
What was that, punk?
Listen, I left some clean
sheets out, okay?
Matt'll help you.
- Thank you, Alicia.
- I gotta go.
Have fun, guys.
Be good, Matt!
Uh huh.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six,
Huh?
Yep.
Two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Dad!
Breakfast is ready!
Oh, breakfast huh?
Where are we?
Aunt Alicia's.
You can see the
stadium from here!
Oh, crap.
Hurry up, the eggs
are gonna get cold!
Morning.
Morning, Wayne.
Hey, Mark.
Matt.
Right, yeah I was gonna...
breakfast looks good.
I made the eggs.
Aunt Alicia taught me.
And a good job you did, too,
sweety.
Matt, why don't you pass that
down to your uncle?
Thanks, Matt.
So.
What'd everybody do last night?
I got to sleep in my
cousin's room.
Matt slept on the couch.
Oh, that's nice of you, Matt.
Yeah it's no biggie.
I figured Chuck would
much rather sleep
in my mom's bed.
While I was at work.
Matt, shut up.
Come on.
Okay.
Okay, all right.
Whatever.
Yeah, what about you, Chuck?
What do you think?
Took care of you.
And you're not getting
any easier to carry,
are you, Wayne?
Alicia, I'd like to thank you
for letting us stay
but we're clearly not welcome so
we'll be on our way.
- Sit down, Wayne.
- I don't think so, Alicia.
Let's go, Chuck, let's go.
It ain't up to you.
Seems to me we are welcome here.
I made the toast too.
It's a very nice breakfast,
Tyler
and we are going to enjoy it.
Matt, will you please
pass the bacon?
What the hell are you doing?
What the hell are you doing?
Get Tyler, I said we're leaving.
Yeah.
Have a nice trip.
Hey, hey, I'm warning you,
dammit.
You're warning me?
You just get him, okay?
No.
I ain't gonna get him.
I am through with your crap.
Hey, you wanna ruin your life,
go ahead.
I ain't helping you do
that no more.
You got a kid who's
excited to be here
and your sister is a saint,
you ask me.
My sister kicked me out
of my father's own
goddamn funeral,
in case you don't remember.
You were plastered.
Well see, I,
I was in mourning, okay?
She could have cut me a
little slack.
She did 'til you
started running around
with the pastor's wife's
nylons on your head!
That was a long time ago!
Which is exactly what I
told you yesterday.
So drop it, hmm?
Let bygones be bygone.
Goddammit, Chuck.
No, no, no, you goddamit!
You lose your right to gripe
when you puke all over the car
and pass out cold!
Sorry about that.
Alicia.
I just wanna thank you for
letting us all stay.
Of course.
So are we gonna go see
the city or what?
Yay!
Can Matt come?
Yeah, sure.
Nice, nice.
You could use some sun.
Go get your shoes.
You wanna come along too,
Leesh?
Yeah.
Sure, I mean if you
got enough room.
Woohoo.
Woohoo!
Chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga
chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga.
Oh, give me a break.
Everyone: Chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga, chugga.
Everyone: Woohoo!
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah,
hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Tyler, you see anything?
Whoa, are you
shitting me?
Whoah!
I mean kidding?
It's just like an ocean,
eh squirt?
Oh, no Matt, hey hey hey,
Matt, Matt, Matt, oh.
Here that Chuck?
Just like an ocean.
Oh there you go,
now you got him.
What the hell did I do?
That's a smart kid back there.
Oh yeah.
Look what you done.
Smartie.
Just like the ocean.
Oh yeah.
Smell that salt air.
Well I didn't say it
smelled like an ocean,
I said it looks like an ocean.
You see all those windows?
You know behind every single
one of those windows
and all those buildings is
somebody's home or office,
there's all kinds of
people up there
doing all different
kinds of things.
Like over there, maybe like an
office furniture salesman.
Over there, a barber
or something.
Who knows, in there
maybe a teacher.
Do you think any of them are
eating popcorn right now?
Yeah, of course, why not?
All those windows, probably
somebody up there
munching on some popcorn, huh?
There's a lot going on in
a big city, huh?
Can you imagine living in a
place like this?
All the friends you could make,
are you kidding me?
Oh, you would have people just
constantly ringing
your doorbell.
Hey, is Tyler home?
Hey, can Tyler come
out and play?
Wouldn't be so bad, would it?
I like my house.
Yeah.
It's a nice house your mom
has there for you.
Can you please tell me what
is so fashionable
about looking like a ghoul?
Well, he's a teenager.
At his age, I had a mullet.
Matt!
What?!
Put that sketchbook down,
you're on a boat!
Come on, I remember
you at that age.
What?
Wearing holes with a few
threads of jeans
attached to it.
Air conditioning, we
used to call it.
Yup, air conditioning.
I liked a few of them
strategically placed air vents.
You look real dumb.
I won't after this
thing capsizes.
Don't come swimming
over to me then.
Yeah, you don't look
so hot yourself.
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Just trying not to drink.
Come here.
These are people's houses?
Welcome to Whitefolks Bay,
squirt.
Whitefish Bay.
They call it white folks bay
'cause everyone who lives
here is white.
So is everyone in my town.
Except for my friend Katie.
She got adopted.
Whatever, squirt.
I'm not a squirt.
Anybody wanna guess
who lives here?
Some snot-nosed
trust fund snob
who eats pizza with a fork?
No, no, this guy did
it all himself
and then some.
This house...
this house right here
belongs to none other
than the Gorman Thomas.
What?
Who the hell is Gordon Thomas?
Gorman.
Kidding me now?
You never heard of Stormin'
Gorman?
You never heard of I
could give a shit?
Matt!
Hey, Matt, no, Stormin'
Gorman Thomas
was the greatest center fielder
who ever walked
God's green earth
and that's a fact.
And he lives in that
house right there.
You know he's probably
looking down on us
from one of those big windows.
Yeah, saying get the hell
out of my driveway.
Can we meet him?
Please, please, please, please.
No.
Wayne.
That would be a bad idea.
What, why, no, why not?
Why won't he come over and say a
quick hello to some people
who worship him?
Why not?
Because he's probably on the pot
or making a BLT or trying to
live his friggin' life.
Okay, well then I say we
get him off the pot.
I know I would if a carload
full of fans wanted
to tell me how great I was.
Yes!
Yeah I wouldn't hold your
breath there now.
You know what, we're doin' it.
Oh, no, Wayne.
Oh yeah, we're doing it.
Yes yes yes yes yes!
Alica: Stop it.
God, no, no, mom, mom, no.
Oh god.
Come on, come on,
come on.
Please please please?
Hello?
Hi, mister,
Mister Thomas?
Excuse me?
It's Wayne Stobierski.
I just wanted to let you know
that there is a
carload full of fans
who would just love
a chance to...
Yeah yeah yeah.
Sir, sir?
Gorman Thomas hasn't lived
here for 10 years.
Oh!
Okay, do you happen to know
where he moved to by chance?
Um, let me check.
No, 'cause I don't
keep tabs on him.
Oh, okay.
Now turn that piece
of crap around.
Hey, no need to be rude!
Stick your pizza fork in
your ear, you snob!
- What did you say?
- Yeah, you couldn't carry
Gordon Thomas' sweaty jockstrap,
you piece of shit!
- Gorman!
- Gorman.
- Whatever.
- Get out of here,
he's gonna call the police.
No, do it!
Oh, ah!
All right.
Okay, just give a minute here.
What's wrong with you?
What?
What is wrong with you?
Nothing.
It's just, ooh.
Those little bums are fast!
When's the last time
you seen a doctor?
Hmm, give me a break,
look at me.
What, are you kidding me?
At our age you gotta get an
annual physical.
Chuck.
I told him.
Oh, baloney.
Come on, look at this.
I'm a frickin specimen, okay?
Oh, yeah?
All right, let me see something.
Hold your hands out.
Palms up.
No, no, this way, come here.
All right, let me just
see something.
All right, well your arteries
don't feel too hard.
But okay, let me see
something else.
All right, go like this, right.
Now stick your tongue out
and roll your eyes
in the back of your head.
Now you look as dumb as you are.
I mean, come on, what do you
think you get a bump on the head
and it tells you you have
high cholesterol?
You gotta get your blood drawn.
Did you know that I
was this close
to having diabetes II?
And the doctor says just
cut out potatoes
and now I'm good.
You gotta get your liver
checked, Wayne.
How much did that
doc charge you
to tell you to cut out
the potatoes huh?
I don't have the money for that,
all right?
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, how's Diedra?
Is she still at the hospital?
Yup, she doing good.
How can she be good if
she's in the hospital?
She's a nurse, hello.
How the hell am I
supposed to know?
I mean I haven't seen her
since I was like nine.
Diedra's my mom but she's not
married to my dad.
My mom's married to my stepdad.
He wants us to move to Phoenix
but we're not gonna.
The Diamondbacks suck.
Hey, I heard a rumor that
you're going to see
a baseball game with your
dad tomorrow night.
Is that true?
Uh huh.
Oh you lucky duck, huh?
Nice.
So you gonna tell me
what's going on?
Ah.
Wayne lost custody.
Diedra and Stu are
moving to Arizona.
Oh my god, when?
As soon as the house sells.
Tyler don't know yet.
Wayne's supposed to tell him.
Oh my god.
Wow.
How many people is that?
That's something innit?
Well you wait 'til tomorrow.
Baseball game, stadium's gonna
be full of people
and you're gonna be
right down there
in the front row.
No big deal.
No big deal.
Yup.
Big city's kinda neat, huh?
Uh huh.
Could you imagine if you
lived in a place like this?
All the cool stuff that
you could do?
You know you can go to
like a museum
or go to the zoo.
All the ballgames that
you can go too.
Can Matt come with
us tomorrow?
Yeah, I wish, but I
just got tickets
for you know, me,
you and Chuck, so.
But what I was saying about
living in a city like this,
Can Matt come up for
my birthday then?
No, he can't because he
got school, okay?
Will you listen?
I'm trying to tell
you somethin'.
I...
I just...
He's got school, okay?
My birthday's on a Saturday,
I looked it up.
Saturday, huh?
Well.
Let's see if he can come
up then, okay?
Okay.
Heard in the day
Led by the moonlight
Have all passed away
Beautiful dreamer
Have one beer.
No point in feeling like
crap all weekend.
Either way...
here.
What the hell is that for?
The 10 you didn't drink today.
Give me a break.
Stick it in your jar.
You earned it.
We both know you gotta quit.
Just saying, start Monday.
You got enough on your
plate this weekend.
Toss this for me, will you?
I fought that thing off all day.
Not one drop went in my mouth,
not one, check the seal.
Don't tell Alicia.
I need a change of scenery
Some place with greenery
I'll throw the dice,
let's go gamble on tonight
Let's spin the wheel
Drop the ball where ever we feel
Difference between real
and surreal
Let's go gamble on tonight
Because I need a
change of scenery
Shut up.
Some place with greenery
I didn't say nothing.
Doesn't look back
on a one way track
I don't know where
I'm heading to
If the wind blows
A warm a sweater to
feel so right
Let's go gamble on tonight
And I say yes, sir
We're sort of a mess, sir
We can't pass the test, sir
We're half way to bye
And I say yes, sir
We're sort of a mess, sir
We will not rest, sir
'Til our troubles are behind
Because I need a
Change of scenery
Some place with greenery
I'll take the path
On the map that
doesn't look back
I'm leaving Lorraine.
Are you okay?
It feels good to be here.
Looking for something?
Oh, ah.
I wanted a glass of milk.
The big white gallon jug
right in front.
Want some cookies with that?
Sure.
You mind if I join you?
Thanks.
Yup.
Chuck told me about Tyler.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Morning.
Hey, mornin'.
Yeah, coffee's ready over there.
Thank you.
Yes.
You know,
Milwaukee's not a bad town.
I mean once you get used to all
the hustle and bustle,
and that room upstairs,
I mean, it's yours.
Thanks, sis.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Hey there!
Hey.
So, listen.
I told Matty that he could
take my ticket.
Oh yeah?
You sure you don't mind?
Ah, I'll stay here,
listen to it on the radio.
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Woo, here we go boys!
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Here we go Milwaukee, here we go
Okay, Tyler, Matt,
I need you to listen to me
real closely, okay?
From now until the moment
that our butts
are in those dark green seats,
I need you to stay close to me,
okay?
Now we're about to enter
what the ancient Italians
called the Coliseum.
All right, and I guarantee
you'll never forget this moment
for the rest of your lives.
Got it?
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Okay?
Let's do this, huh?
All right.
Right, Tyler, you stay
right there, hang on.
Let's go, pal.
Tickets please.
Thank you.
Tickets please.
Tickets please.
Thank you, tickets please.
Thank you.
Enjoy the game.
Tickets please.
Thank you, enjoy the game sir.
Tickets please.
Yes sir, three of us.
Thank you.
Yup, thank you.
Wait, hold up, hold them up.
Yeah.
Let me see those.
Yeah, first base.
Aw, man.
These are for Saturday's game.
What?
What are you talking about?
These are for
yesterday's game, look.
Oh.
Man, I'm sorry, I've
seen it happen before.
No, no, no, I paid good money
for these tickets.
I'm sorry man, it's not
the first time.
I don't understand.
No, I paid a lot of money
for these tickets.
Look.
Hey, look, wait.
We drove all the way
from up north.
I came with my son and
his cousin here
and it's his first time to
see the game, so,
if you could, just,
I'm sorry, man.
I don't know what to tell you.
Well, just tell me
that I can get in!
No, no, there's a
customer service table
right over here.
Okay.
Maybe they can get you
some other seats.
Okay but I'm just, I wanna go.
- It's out of my hands.
- Hey!
Yo, look, I gotta get you
out of the line.
Nothing I can do, buddy.
I gotta get you out of the line.
Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
Okay, boys.
Sorry.
Come over here.
There's too many.
Just wait.
Okay, wait right here.
Listen.
Matt, you got any money on you?
What do you have?
A couple dollars?
I do.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, put that back
in your pocket.
Look, you wait right here.
I'm gonna go take care of this.
But I need you guys to stay
right here, okay?
Tyler, you stay right here,
okay?
Right here with your cousin,
you got it?
Matty, you keep an eye on him,
okay?
Don't let him out of your sight.
I'll be right back, okay?
Don't.
Don't go anywhere.
Hi there.
Hey.
Oh, come on, how
bad could it be?
You're white, you got a dick.
No, I'm not in the mood,
Leesh.
Come here.
No, I'm not in the mood.
Don't be a dumb-ass,
I said come here.
- Look, I have some stuff...
- I'm serious,
just two seconds, come on!
Check of the runner on base.
Here comes Miller
with the pitch.
And that's high.
Ball to Weeden.
He doesn't wanna give Weeden
anything in the wheel.
I'm not a squirt.
You are a squirt, big time.
Total squirt.
Yeah you are a squirt,
you're both squirts.
Yeah, yeah he is,
but so are you.
Big time, I'm not a squirt,
you two are.
Weeden gets all of it, I mean.
- Yup, yup!
- Are you kidding me?!
Come on, you hear that,
you hear that?
Do you hear?
Oh my gosh!
Nice!
Yes, I told you.
Didn't I tell you, yeah?
That's insane!
Oh god, you see that?
Do you hear that?
Wow, dude!
Where's your stuff?
I thought I might stay
on for a little.
It'll give you some alone
time with Tyler
and me with Alicia.
But if you got any worry that
you're not gonna be
okay to drive or anything,
No, no, no, no, we'll be fine.
You sure?
Yeah, yeah, we'll be fine.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
So Tyler.
Yeah?
Grab some ice cream
before I drop you home?
Okay.
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
So listen, champ.
There's something I
gotta tell ya.
It ain't gonna be easy for me
but I don't want you
getting mad at your mom
because it's my fault, okay.
It's not hers.
Your mom loves you very much
and she just wants
what's best for you.
But...
We're not gonna get to see each
other for a little while.
Why?
Well, you see,
you're gonna be moving with
your mom and Stu
to Phoenix soon.
What?
Yeah, I...
Why?!
You gotta trust me,
it's gonna be a good
thing for you okay?
You said I didn't have to!
Yeah, I know I said that
but there are
opportunities out there.
And your stepdad has
some opportunities
and you're gonna have some
opportunities too.
I don't care,
you said I didn't have to!
I know, I know.
You gotta trust me
when I say it's gonna
be good for ya.
Okay, you're gonna make new
friends out there.
You're gonna see mountains.
And it's a real city, champ.
It's a real city and
you'll get to see
all kinds of things like we saw.
Hey, you know what, I promise
I'll come see you.
Everything like
that is garbage!
I only like you.
I understand that, champ.
I understand, but I'm gonna come
out there and see you
as much as I can.
You know what, we're gonna
go to a ballgame.
And we're gonna get
in this time.
The Diamondbacks suck.
Yeah.
I know.
It just isn't fair.
I'm sorry.
But this is my fault.
It's got nothing to do with you.
Is it because you're
an alcoholic?
Yeah.
Can't you take some medicine?
You know, I wish there
was some, but.
You can't just stop?
No.
I can't.
I'm so sorry.
I love you so much.
Hey.
I just told him.
I couldn't really bring
myself to do it
'til just now.
And I need to tell you.
We didn't go camping.
I took him to Milwaukee and we
stayed with Alicia.
So sorry that I lied.
I wanted to take him
to a ballgame.
It's okay, Wayne.
I figured it was something.
I showed him the city, Dee.
And we went on a boat.
And um, he just had
the time of his life.
I did the best I could.
I told him that this would be a
good thing for him.
Him moving out there was
gonna be good.
So just,
just make sure that it is.
Will you?
I will.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Wayne.
Are you gonna be okay?
I don't know.
Try.
All right?
Okay.
No, Wayne.
Try.
Okay.
Oh, frickin' Oprah.
Frickin' Oprah.
Good night, mercy
With you 'til the end
The earth it keeps on spinning
Good night
The night makes you thirsty
Drink up one more time
Let's not start a fight now,
good night
There's no catch to
All the ways I love you
Do your best to
Lock me out but I'm still here
Good night, mercy
The day comes to pass
Sippin' our last glass now
Good night
Good night
There's no end to
All the ways I love you
Do my best to
Hang on tight
Yeah I'm still here
Good night, mercy
You haven't said a thing
Passed down through my singing
Good night
