What high school do you go?

Private, and I'm
only in eighth.

Wow, keep it up.

Thanks.

David, where have you been?

Playing ball.

What are you wearing?

My tux.

It's uniform mom.

Where are my keys?

hair done?

Yes, and I've gotta
get out of here.

The house is a mess.

Could you at least
clean your room?

I need a vacation.

You just got back.

What, you think
we were on vacation?

Go talk to your brother.

He needs you to talk to him.

Okay.

Okay, mom.

Morris, it's David.

Morris, you wanna talk?

I'm coming in, okay?

Hey Morris, can I
turn that music down?

Morris, so, can I turn
that music down, please?

Great, it was
really loud, you know.

So what did you do today?

You're just reading
Hebrew books.

Dad's sleeping and mom's
getting her hair done.

But all in that same moment.

She understood everything.

Infinite happiness-

- Crime and Punishment,
Fyodor Dostoevsky, page 549.

Amazing, you get it
right every single time.

You're a genius, Morris.

So I won my first game today,

Lafayette fields, the big one.

90 feet base to base.

I had this really great catch,

a single double and
I even drove one in.

Anyway, it was great
talking to you Morris.

See you around.

What position?

Did I play?

Center, just like metal.

DiMaggio, Gerrick,
Ruth, Ty Cobb.

He used to sharpen the
spikes and slide in high.

Honus Wagner, Jimmie
Foxx, Mel Ott.

That was baseball.

Yeah.

Well, this is real
baseball too, you know.

I heard the Yanks
won last night.

Middle Maris,.

Anyway, it was great
talking to you Morris.

I'm gonna go get changed.

I can't wait till my next game.

Do you want to come
to my next game?

Who's this, who's
this, who's this?

Wow. I want her bad.

Man, come on, who's this?

Who's this, who's this?

I'd give up my left
arm to have girls legs

wrapped around mine.

Richardson.

Come on, that was an easy one.

If only she was easy.

All right, who's this?

Wow, how can she
get away with that,

with tits.

All right, who's
this, who's this?

I don't know.

How did Saturday go?

That's me, two over
three, single, double, RVI

and I missed some great catches.

What about your dad?

Isn't your bar
mitzvah coming up?

Yeah.

Can I share Chumash homework?

Again?

Yeah, again, don't be an ass.

Screw you.

Screw you.

No, screw you.

David.

Come on, it's time for shul.

David, come on.

I can't today, dad, I'm sick.

What?

What are you talking, come on.

Come on, you're okay.

Let's go.

Let's go, come on.

I ate too much last night.

My stomach is killing me.

Yeah, mom's food
that can do it.

Well, come on, come on.

You gotta go.

We gotta go, come on.

I'll come, I'll come,
just a little late.

Promise?

Okay.

Okay.

All right, I'll see you soon.

Esther, honey, get the door.

There's someone here for you.

Mrs. Sabah.

Yes, can I help you?

I come from the agency.

Wonderful, come in.

I'm just making lunch.

It's so hot in here.

This house needs
a good cleaning.

I'll take you to your room.

We took our son, Morris,
to Israel to get help,

and we just got back so the
house is a mess, I'm sorry.

He's sick, he has problems,

but he saw a top
doctor in Israel,

a psychiatrist and
he's getting better.

I think he's getting better.

The doctor says
that he's depressed,

and schizophrenic.

But I think he's
getting better, maybe.

But this is your room.

Just unpack your things
and then come on down

to the kitchen, okay.

Mrs. Sabah, I'm sorry.

Hey David, you're here early.

That's great.

Aren't you going to introduce
me to your new buddy?

Yeah, this is
David, the new kid.

Hi David.

Hi.

Vinny tells me you're only 12.

And a pretty decent player.

You did good last week.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Got to go.

You know I'm almost 13.

Don't mess up Vinny.

You need to win today.

This is no bullshit.

All right, we're the
better frigging team.

We're The Bonnies
for Christ's sakes.

So here's today's lineup.

Vinny, you're going
to bat first, okay.

You get on base any way you can.

These guys don't
know how to pitch.

Rodriguez, you're second.

Smith, you're third.

Sabah, you bating
clean up today.

So you go out there and
you show me what you got.

All right?

All right guys.

Let's go.

Strike.

Time.

Time.

Dave, hi.

This is your time kid.

You're down by your own.

You go out there
and you show them

you're not some little
bitch, you hear me?

Yes, coach.

Play ball.

This guy's gotta
a big curve ball.

So you wait for it to be in
your wheelhouse and you rip it.

You got it?

Got it.

All right, go.

That's it. That's it.

All right, let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

Bring it in, bring
it in. Bring it in.

Let's go, let's go.

Sabah, come here.

Listen to me.

You got some real talent.

That was a hell of a way
to hit the ball today,

you got us into the playoffs.

I want to see you at
practice this week, okay?

Thanks coach, I mean Nikki.

All right, go on.

Get out of here.

Look, David's home.

David, where were you?

You were not in shul.

You lied to me, David.

You said you were coming.

You were playing baseball.

David, enough, your bar
mitzvah is coming up.

It's almost the 25th.

You're gonna be a man.

Now, go take that off.

No, no, now.

Go change now.

Vivian, hey, it's David.

David, hi.

Hi, I'm so tired.

Why are you calling me so early?

It's 02:00 here.

What are you talking about?

It's 11:00 there.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

You're okay?

What happened?

No, I'm just supposed to
be at my therapist you know.

And I think my sleeping
pills are too strong.

David, how is my little brother?

I miss you so much.

I'm doing good, I guess.

I played baseball
today in the big field.

That's great.

Come on Vivian,
we're going to be late.

Let's go for God sake.

Okay. I'm talking
to my brother, David.

You just don't understand me.

We haven't had sex in...

Fuck, I can't even remember.

Tell me about the baseball game.

David.

Hey, Rita, don't
you know how to knock?

It is Shabbat.

What are you doing on the phone?

Who are you talking?

Is that Rita?

Wow, I love her.

She really is something.

Tell her to go fuck off.

What is so funny?

Vivian sends her love.

Yeah, right. Okay.

I'm going to go if
you don't get out of

the phone right now.

Okay, I'm coming. I got to go.

I love you, you know why?

David, get off the phone.

Why?

Because you're perfect
just the way you are.

I think it's so neat you're
playing the game you love.

Go for your dreams, always.

I'll see you real soon, bye.

Bye, Vivian.

All right, buddy,
bring it in, bring it in.

Now, listen up.

I've seen a lot of good
things out there okay,

but I don't want that
to go into your heads.

Because we've got the
playoffs coming up.

So I need you ready and focused.

Another thing, came down from
the league the other day,

they moved the game
to Saturday the 25th,

but don't let that throw you.

All right, you're ready.

You stay ready?

Don't be late.

Let your folks know
about the game change.

All right, let's go.

Yes, coach.

honey.

You burnt the lamb again.

You're lying.

Mom these kibbeh
are delicious.

I love you.

I just got a new
recipe for the kibbeh.

I'll give it to you, it's great.

No he's not going
to listen to her.

David, well, you're so
quiet and you're not eating.

Go get Morris.

Mom, he's not coming down.

Eli, tell him
to go get Morris.

David, listen to
your mother, okay.

Esther, I have a business
trip coming up this Wednesday.

I forgot to tell you about it.

David, how are you
doing in school?

How's the Hebrew coming?

I'm doing all right.

Hey, I had the game winning
hit last baseball game.

What game?

Just all right?

I spent so much
money on your school

for it to be just all right.

Your bar mitzvah's coming up.

It's almost here.

You need to be ready
and not fooling around.

What fooling around?

This baseball game, all right.

I don't want you playing
baseball, especially on Shabbat.

Understand?

Especially with
those kinds of kids.

Well, what kids?

What are you talking about?

Let it be.

Go get Morris.

No, no, no, no, no.

David, sit down, please.

Please, sit down.

Sit.

Listen, you need to be serious.

You're becoming a man, so
now you have to act like one.

You're gonna be
going to high school,

maybe some college and
then going into business.

Just like everybody else.

This is the best community
in the whole world.

You need to stick
to your own kind.

You understand?

Yes.

Good.

Now, please, go get Morris.

So mom and dad

While you were away, I
started seeing someone.

Apocalypse.

Apocalypse, I see.

Do you believe in that?

I think we should
all die one day.

It will all end.

But there will
be nothing, Morris.

No chance for tomorrow's people.

No, nothing.

How was it?

What?

The hospital for the brain.

What's funny?

Bad, really bad.

People are easier than me.

Everywhere, people
talking to themselves.

I hated it.

I wanna write.

Like one of the greats.

Dostoevsky, Mann, Tolstoy.

But I can't, I'm stuck,

I'm very stuck.

I don't understand that.

You are so very smart.

You have read all these books.

You know all these things.

Write, just write.

No, I-

- You're sweet, but troubled.

Come on.

You should be happy.

You should do what
you want to do.

You're not like any
of the rest of them.

You're different.

You care

Maria, what are
you doing here?

I need you in the kitchen.

Eli.

Morris.

I have your dinner.

It is the way you like it.

Chicken, rice,
potatoes, vegetables.

Thank you, Maria.

Would you sit with me?

Morris, I can't.

I'm sorry.

Your mother wants me
to finish laundry.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Yum.

Nice throw dad, all right.

It's so good to be back home.

I had a good trip.

That's great, daddy.

Thank you.

Where's Maria?

We need the soup now.

It's going to hit cold.

Relax, it's Shabbat.

It's Shabbat.

Hey, I got you guys something.

This is for you.

It's one of the best they make.

Got it at a really good price.

Though it's still expensive.

Thanks Dad.

You're welcome.

I want you to wear it
for your bar mitzvah

and special occasions. Okay?

I will.

Beautiful honey.

Rita, I got you this.

Here, you open it.

Thank you daddy.

And Esther, look
what I have for you.

Eli.

You like it?

Eli, no, you didn't have to.

David, would you go see if
Morris will come down to dinner?

Come on mom.

It's me every time.

Esther, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

You did not like it?

I gave it all to this woman.

She said she could help him.

She said you could save him
and make him well again.

I need him to be better,
and she said he will.

You gave what to who?

Please, come in.

This gypsy woman, my jewelry.

I gave her all of my
jewelry, everything.

You gave some
woman all the jewelry

I've ever bought you, Why?

Let me see if
Morris wants to come.

Is there something
wrong with you?

Esther, are you going crazy?

Morris, Morris.

She said it would work.

It's working.

Morris.

Maria, please go and
get Morris some soup.

Morris, sit.

Morris, sit down, please.

Eat something.

Sit with us.

I thought you said
he was improving.

What am I, his doctor?

You don't do anything for him.

You're not ever even around.

I work all the time.

I pray to God everyday for him.

I kill myself to buy
you all the jewelry

and you give it to some woman?

Do you have idea-

We got to do something.

crazy.

What did you do to my son?

I'm sorry-

- I need you to get
all of your things

and you need to leave
this house right now.

I didn't do anything.

No, you need to leave now.

He was getting better.

He was-

- I need the job.

You need to go now, now.

Mom, will you help
me with my dress?

Come here.

You're looking
nice and spiffy, dad.

Okay, there you go my love.

Thank you.

God, I love playing baseball
more than anything else.

Why can't I have both?

David, you're ready?

Just about.

How are you, excited?

Yeah.

I'm very proud of you.

This is for you.

This belonged to my father.

He gave it to me when
I was very young.

I want you to wear it today.

It's your special day.

Guess who?

Hi, David.

How you've grown?

You got so, so big.

Give your big sister the
biggest hug.

How is everyone?

Look at this big
baseball bat mitzvah boy.

Rita, I hear you're
seeing someone.

Is he wonderful?

Tell me about him.

Can I meet him?

You will, he'll be at shul.

Vivian, you're so thin.

Are you eating?

It's called dieting.

Actually it's called
dieting and divorce.

You might as well know.

Chuck and I filed for
divorce last week,

but we are still
the best of friends.

I thought you
were going for help.

I was, but we
fight all the time.

Rita, I hope you do
better than I did.

Sorry, Vivian.

You need to eat honey.

Why dad, I don't look good?

Come on, I'll make you
something fast before we go.

Come on, help me Rita.

Don't you have help?

You always have a maid.

Don't ask.

David, you look great.

You're excited for
your bar mitzvah?

Yeah, except that I have

a really big playoff
game coming up.

You just can't tell
anybody, all right?

Hey, Morris, it's me.

Can I come in?

Hey, Morris, how are you?

Look at all your
books and records.

You read all these?

I never read anything.

I'm always so busy.

I always loved that
picture, birds are so free.

Remember when we were kids

we used to go in on
the beach together.

Those were fun times.

The beaches in
California are beautiful.

What was it like being locked
up in the mental hospital?

Doesn't sound like
much fun to me.

I guess you don't
want to talk to me.

That's all right, maybe later.

I've been seeing
this therapist

and she's really been
helping me a lot.

Our little brother
loves baseball so much.

He got that because of you.

You know that?

You don't want to talk to me.

It's all right.

It's all right. It's all right.

Maybe later.

It's okay.

Morris, I know you're hurting.

I love you no matter what.

Even if you don't talk to me.

We're going to
David's bar mitzvah now.

Are you sure you
don't want to come?

You know that I love you, right?

We'll be back soon.

Remember to take
the new medication.

What's taking so long?

We gotta go, come on.

Let's go, let's go.

We gotta go.

Come one.

Vivian, you can't wear
that dress to shul.

It's too showy.

Why? I like this
one, it's so sexy.

That's one word for it.

I have a sweater for you.

Come on, we'll cover you up.

Morris, darling, please
come to David's bar mitzvah.

It would make mom and
dad so happy if you came.

See you later, Morris.

That's my little brother.

He's doing so good.

I'm just really proud of him.

I remember when he
was a little baby

and now he's getting-

Strike two.

You guys know where Sabah is?

No.

You don't go to school with him?

All right.

Got it.

Let's go.

Thank you so much.

We appreciate it, thank you.

He's so nice.

Mazel tov.

Mazel tov.

Morris, Morris. You okay?

Morris.

contacted your family.

They're on their way.

Do you need anything?

No, How's my brother?

The doctor will
be here shortly.

- Dr. Claire. Dr.
- Claire.

Are you Morris
Sabah's brother?

Yes, how is he?

Did you know he swallowed
an entire bottle of pills?

No I just got home.

Will he be okay?

Your brother's gone.

I'm sorry.

Gone, you mean he's dead?

Yes, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Mr. and Mrs. Sabah, I
regret to inform you

that your son has passed.

Please, come this way.

See Morris, you look
really peaceful now.

Rest in peace my brother.

I love you.

Now batting right.

Two winners on the pitch.

It's a base hit
to the right side.

And Richardson, scores.

David, stop it.

It's late, we're
starting dinner.

In a minute mom, it's game

Ronny Schultz,

It's five high ball.

How about that?

Next couple of pitches,

I want to see some line drives,

Good work.

Lay down some bats down to

Vinny, you're up next.

Let's go Sabah.

Eye on the ball.

Don't waste my time.

Get it to done.

Stop bringing your elbow up.

Good work Sabah.

Vinny, you're up.

Coach, can I just
hit a few more pitches?

Yeah, give him a few more.

Good work Sabah.

You're done for the day.

Vinny, you're up.

Gomez, I want to talk
to you for a minute.

So your parents, they never
come to watch you play. Why?

They don't think I should
take baseball seriously.

They're old fashioned I guess.

Yeah, I know what it is like.

My folks were the same way.

Never watched me play, never
played past high school.

I had to get a job.

My dad, he got sick and all.

You're a great coach.

I know.

But seriously if there's
anything you ever need,

you just let me know.

I love you.

I'll see you later at Pete's.

Hey, big guy, how are you?

Big guy?

Yeah, big guy.

Will you sign the
baseball you hit me?

That last bomb you
hit wasn't that to me?

Okay.

Here's a pen.

You're going to sign it or
do I have to twist your arm?

Natalie, right?

No, Sophia.

Sophia Loren, I wish.

You're beautiful
just being Natalie.

Okay, Romeo.

Are you going to come
get drinks with us later?

Yeah, sure.

Great.

Hey, no, no, no.

David, you're coming with
us to Pete's later, right?

Yeah. You bet.

See you there.

See you later.

Looking good out there.

PD, let me get another
round for the guys here

and for this young
hot, beautiful woman.

Give her three doubles
because she's drinking me

under the table.

Let's get them,
let's get them.

Where are you gonna
play ball, David?

I don't know, maybe one
of the colleges around here.

Ait guys.

Raise up your glasses.

Bottoms up.

Here's to baseball.

Come on, Dave, drink up.

Let him finish
at his own pace.

What kind of role
model are you, come on.

I'm sorry, I taught
you what little brother.

Are you okay there kiddo?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm doing good.

Because you were hitting
some bombs today at practice,

and you were seeing
the ball really good.

Thanks.

Buy you're serious?

You're thinking about
playing baseball locally?

Sticking to his roots.

I like it.

You might want to think
about playing ball year round.

Go out west.

I do have a sister that
lives out in California.

I love this song.

Well, there you go.

I got friends out there.

They're coaches.

I'll give them a call.

David.

You're all right,
you can really hit.

There she goes.

My name, it's Nikki.

Nikki, Nikki, Nikki.

Nikki, big fucking Nikki.

Biggest bat in
the five barrows.

All right, muscle man,
can I have this dance?

I don't really
know how to dance.

Just hold me.

Come on.

You have my permission.

What about you?

What are you gonna do
with you career, nothing?

I'm gonna go join the navy.

Join the navy?

Yeah, why not?

If that's what you wanna do.

I have to pee.

David, where have you been?

It's so late, we were worried.

I was out with Adam.

I didn't realize
what time it was.

Holy shit, it's late.

David, don't talk like that.

What is wrong with you?

You've been drinking?

No. Okay, maybe one beer.

I was celebrating.

Celebrating what?

Adam talked to
Rachael Goldberg today.

Rachael Goldberg, the girl
with beautiful breasts,

yay Adam.

Hey, dad.

David, go to bed now.

Stop talking like that.

Guess what?

I hit some amazing
shots in practice today.

It felt great.

Why don't you come
and see me play?

Like on a weekday, it doesn't
have to be on Shabbat.

Shabbat, Shabbat, Shabbat.

Make some time for me.

You're drunk David,
enough talking like that.

You're with the
wrong kind of people.

Grow up.

What are you saying?

Come on.

Come to a game.

Come to a game once.

Come to a game.

See your son play ball.

I think I'm about to throw up.

Hi Vivian.

Hi David, how are you?

When are you coming out here?

You've gotta play
baseball in California.

You would love it.

There's so many major
league scouts here.

I love you, David.

It's the best thing for you.

That's a big, big move Vivian.

There's no way mom
and dad will let me.

Dad hates the idea
of me playing baseball,

it's too American or something.

Screw them, it's your life.

You have to follow your dreams.

Hey, before I forget,

did you get that
postcard I sent you?

Mm-hmm.

You did?

David, you're my best friends
so I can tell you this.

I met the most wonderful
person, romantic, sweet.

I'm tingling, I'm so happy.

Hey, you're still a virgin?

Vivian-

- No weed or pussy
for my baby brother?

That's okay.

I know you're gonna
be a great lover.

You can hang naturally
from just playing baseball.

I can't wait for
you to meet Danny.

We fuck like two cats
clawing at each other.

Wow, that's amazing.

I can't wait to meet him.

Actually we're together now.

Hey, I got to go.

I'm coming home soon
for your birthday.

Bye.

We missed all the great babes.

You know they like to get here
early to work on their tans.

You were so late today.

I'm sorry.

It was a long game,

a lot of run scores.

Why are there not enough
women on the beach

for you now to talk to one?

Hey, schmuck, it's
a percentages game.

The more they are of them,
the better my chances.

Really, even if you don't go
over to one and talk to them?

Hey, I got no problem
talking to anybody.

Really, okay.

Well that one.

Green bathing suit polka dots.

She's okay, not my type.

Not you're type.

You're a dope.

You're a dope.

Did you win?

No.

Struck out with the bases
loaded on a full count

last inning, lost 10 to 9.

Come one, it's baseball.

I suck.

Yeah, you suck.

It pisses me off.

Hey, I'll race you.

Okay, let's go.

Wow.

Why?

Right there.

It's Natalie.

Wow.

You were telling the
truth man, you struck gold.

Shut up shmuck, okay,

She can hear you.

Just be cool.

I want to touch.

Hey, Natalie.

David, hi.

What are you doing here?

Just hanging out.

This is my best friend, Adam.

Hi there, nice
to meet you, Adam.

I like that name.

Really? Why?

Adam and Eve, first man ever,

must've been something.

Yeah, well you know,

I never really thought
of my name that way.

There you go,
nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I hate to be a killjoy.

I got to go.

Lame, okay.

Does that mean you
have to go too?

No, but Mr. Adam
and Eve drove, so-

- That's all right,
I can drive you home.

You can say.

You're sure?

Yeah, no problem.

Bye, Adam.

Nice to meet you.

Hope I see you soon too.

Yeah, I hope I see you soon too

I'll call you later David.

Later, later.

Come on, let's go.

Okay, David, tell
me about yourself.

Like what?

Well, like what?

I don't know, like family.

Big brother or sisters,
that kind of thing.

Okay.

I have...

How do I say this?

I have an eccentric older sister

who lives out in California,

and another sister
who is younger,

who is extremely religious.

She's nice though.

Are you religious?

Religious?

Not really.

I mean, to some degree, yeah.

I don't know.

I believe in God.

I mean, I think I do.

Do you?

Do you believe in God?

That is a good question.

Do I believe in...

You know, I think it
depends on what is going on

at the time that you ask.

How about now?

Now, I do, yeah.

Okay, so you have two
sisters and no brothers.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Do you want to smoke a joint?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah. Here, right now?

Yeah, we can just
go to the pier.

Okay. Sure.

Shit, this is good.

This is good, okay.

Yeah, it's cool
if we smoke here.

Like this.

Too much. Too much. Too much.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. I just feel dizzy.

Okay, here, take
it easy, okay.

There you go.

Tell me about you and baseball.

You, you're so good.

I love watching you play.

I love baseball.

When I'm playing, it's
like the ultimate escape.

There's nothing else
going on in the world.

It's just me, a ball,
a bat, the glove.

Even if you mess up, you're
going to get another chance.

It's all just kinda fair.

You know what I mean?

When I'm playing, I can
zone out all the noise.

And judgements.

That's heavy.

I'm sorry.

Okay, so you like baseball?

Yeah. I like baseball.

This feels nice.

Yes, yeah. Well,

What?

I believe there is a God.

David.

David.

David, it's me.

God, what beautiful muscles.

Can I feel?

I thought you were
coming next week.

It's 2:00 in the morning.

When did you get in?

Tonight, but I met
this guy I the plane.

We had a few drinks
and, you know-

- I do. I know.

We got a little romantic
in the bar, then I got fired,

so that's why I'm a week early.

Hi mom.

Vivian.

Vivian.

When
did you get here?

Hi dad.

Hi, how are you? How are you?

I thought you were
coming next week.

You're not happy
to see me now.

Yes, of course, we are.

Have to have some tea.

Yeah, here
I'll get you a fresh cup.

Thanks mom.

Hey, dad, how's business?

Everything going well?

Yeah, okay.

It's okay.

You're funny.

I'm funny.

Why?

You never tell me you love me.

You know that?

Is it because I'm divorced,

you're ashamed of
me or something?

What are you talking about?

Don't be silly.

I actually have to
go to work now, okay.

We can talk later.

Have you thought about
that loan I asked for

for starting my dating business?

Later, honey.

Morning.

Morning.

You can't give your
daughter who came all the way

from California a moment
of your precious time?

I need to go to
work now, honey.

We'll talk about it later.

You don't love me.

What?

Nothing? Nothing.

I'm going to sleep.

Vivian, stop it.

No, I can't take it.

It's always later.

Ball two.

Come on David.

Hit a bomb, hit a bomb.

Go, go, go, go.

That's my brother.

Go, go, go.

Go, go, go.

Hey man.

Great job.

At them boy, see you later.

Hey David, that was
a great game, man.

Listen, I want to introduce you

to a really good friend of mine.

This is coach Petracelli.

He's the head coach
of Vista University.

Pleasure to meet you, David.

I really enjoyed
watching you play.

Thank you.

What are your
plans in September?

I was thinking
of going to school,

maybe one of the city colleges.

Well, how would you
like to come play for us?

I think you would fit in nicely.

My center fielder
tore his knee cap

and he's out for the year.

So, what do you think, David?

Where?

Out west, my man.

We're a division one, four
year college in Los Angeles.

David, you were great.

Fantastic.

Isn't my baby brother amazing?

Vivian, it's so
good to see you.

How have you been?

Let me talk to you for a sec.

What do you think?

I think that sounds great.

Give me a call next week.

Thank you, I will.

Hey, Nikki, hurry up.

You're gonna make me late,
I gotta catch a flight.

Vivian, great to see you.

Great to see you,
I'll be right back.

David, man, great job.

I'm going to talk
to you more, great.

Good luck.

What?

You're something else.

What does that mean?

I don't-

- What?

Nothing.

It's good, Vivian.

It's good, really.

Hey, thanks for coming
and watching us play.

I wouldn't miss
it for the world.

Who was that guy?

He's a friend of Giambi's.

He seemed nice.

Yeah, very nice.

Guess where he's from?

I don't know.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

David, oh my God.

I'm so proud of you.

I love you, David.

I love you too, Vivy.

David, where's Vinny?

He just left.

Hi.

Hey, how are you?

I'm good.

Natalie, this is
my sister, Vivian.

Vivian, this is-

- Natalie. Hi.

Hi.

I've heard all about you.

She's prettier than you said.

It's nice to meet you, Vivian.

You missed a great game.

Isn't my baby brother
wonderful or what?

He's fun to watch.

Vivian, you want to-

- What?

He just got offered
to play at Vista U-

- In California?

Oh my God, congratulations.

That's amazing.

Thank you.

So, I hear you two
are getting it on.

You hear that.

Vivian-

- She hears that.

He digs you.

You have beautiful skin.

Thank you.

And a killer body, I
would kill for your body.

Thank you.

Rita it's a shame Abe
couldn't make it for dinner,

I made so much food.

His parents are always
calling him for something.

He should be here later.

His kids are so cute.

Just like Rita,
you are so beautiful.

Thank you daddy.

Hey ma' the food
was delicious.

Nothing was burned tonight.

Thank you, David.

David, did you tell them?

You did, right?

Come on.

Tell them.

Tell us what?

What are you talking about?

You know, C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A.

What are you
talking about Vivian?

Don't be acting crazy.

Dave is going to play
college baseball in California.

What do you think about that?

Come on, David.

Don't we set a scary cat.

What are you
talking about Vivian?

A baseball coach from
California saw me play

and asked me to go
to school there.

I could play ball
all year round.

This could be my chance.

Chance for what?

To be a baseball player, ma'.

I don't know if you know this,

but it's all I ever think about.

Well I know you
like to play, but-

Have you ever
seen David play baseball?

What ma'?

I don't like to play.

I love to play.

I can't think of anything
else I'd rather do.

Did you ever watch
Morris play baseball?

Why are you bringing
up Morris right now?

Because we never
talk about him anymore.

Yes, yes.

We saw David play,
didn't we, Eli?

No. You never saw him play.

Since I've been home,

I've watched you
him three times.

He's amazing.

Say something Eli.

Say something.

Look, you could play
right here, right?

It's not the same thing ma'.

The school is
right by my house.

He could stay with me until
he settled, it'll be fun.

With you?

Shut up, Rita.

David, you need to stay home.

You have your family here.

You have your friends here.

This is your community.

It's not like I'll
be gone forever.

You're Jewish, David.
You need to keep Shabbat.

You need to get married,
and have a family.

Baseball is not for you.

What do you mean not for me?

I know I'm Jewish.

You don't have to tell me that.

Just because I don't
follow all the rules

doesn't make me a
terrible person.

That's ridiculous.

I love Shabbat, but getting
married and having a family,

okay, but I'm not there yet.

What about Hank
Greenberg, Sandy Koufax?

If you know
what's best for him,

you should just let him go.

That's not what's
best for him.

How do you know?

I know.

Come down, Eli.

What's best for me?

You want me to come home and
find another man to marry?

As if that's going
to make me happy.

What's wrong with that?

You don't have a job.

You need to get settled.

You need to come home.

You have nothing there.

What do you mean I
have nothing there?

You want me to come
home and live here?

Are you kidding?

No, No.

We'll help you.

I'm seeing someone
and we're in love.

I just need this money
to start this business.

You cannot be
serious about this guy, Danny.

Yes, we're serious.

Is he Jewish?

Not exactly.

Not exactly.

What does that mean?

It means no, not Jewish,

but I'm with the nicest, most
gentle person I have ever met.

Here, here, here.

Here's a picture of Danny.

Who's this?

Oh my God.

I'm gonna go give
the kids a bath.

I'll come and help you.

You're a good kisser David

I am?

Yes, no one ever
told you that before?

Yeah, sure.

God, you're so cute.

Come here, sit.

Close your eyes.

No peeking.

No peeking.

You like classical music?

Yeah, you don't.

I can change it.

No, it's fine.

I'm just surprised.

Why, I don't
seem like the type?

It helps me relax.

I can change them if you want.

No, it's cool.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Does the music bother you?

No, it's okay.

You're arms are so beautiful.

What's wrong?

What's wrong.

Are you not attracted to me?

No, you're beautiful.

I'm just thinking.

About what?

Wait, David, do
you want to talk?

What's wrong.

I don't-

- David.

Hey, hey, talk to me.

What's going on?

I had a brother.

He was much older than
me, and he killed himself.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

He was mentally ill.

All he ever did was read
classical literature,

and listened to opera
and classical music.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

Are you sure?

Sometimes I feel guilty
like I shouldn't enjoy life.

Like I should
suffer or something.

Maybe I could have
helped out more.

Sometimes I blame my parents.

I know that nobody's to blame.

David, I'm so sorry.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

I never talk about
it with anyone.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no.

It's okay David.

David, David, David.

Hey, hey, okay,
okay, okay, look.

You can't control everything.

You deserve to be happy.

It was not your fault.

Look, let's just
hang out tonight.

no pressure.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Hey, mom. Hey, dad.

David.

What's going on?

We need to talk.

Please sit.

Okay, what are we
gonna talk about?

Your dad's upset.

What's wrong with dad?

He's ulcer is acting up.

He's very angry with you.

Dad, what's wrong?

We don't want you
to go to California.

There are plenty of
colleges right here.

I know there are
plenty of colleges here,

but I have an opportunity,

and I want to take
advantage of it.

I want to see if I can
make something of this.

This is something that I love.

You'll grow out of it.

What?

Be practical.

Go into business.

Enough fooling
around, David, enough.

Hey, honey, calm down or
you'll make yourself sick.

You think I'm
just fooling around?

You think this is just
something fun that I do?

You have no idea how I
feel when I play baseball.

Maybe it's how you feel
when you make a big sale

or business is good,
or something like that.

I don't know.

You probably never
felt like this.

I work fucking hard at it.

You don't talk like that here.

You're not with your
baseball friends now.

What the...

What does that mean?

You just, you don't get it.

I don't get it.

You just want to do
whatever you want to do.

Just give up everything
that we ever gave you.

Family, religion.

I work so hard, so
hard to raise a family,

to send you to the best schools,
just to throw it all away?

Calm down, Eli, please.

Sit. Sit, please.

David, we want you to be happy.

You have your home here.

You have your family.

Your friends are here and you
can still play baseball here,

right here.

Right, Eli?

It isn't the same thing.

I need to get away.

What does that mean?

Away from us?

I need some freedom
to be on my own,

to have a new taste of
life, to meet new people.

Vivian said that you have a
girlfriend that's not Jewish.

What are you trying to do to me?

Are you trying to kill me?

You must not get involved

with anyone outside
of our religion.

Do you understand that?

I will disown you if you do.

Eli, I'm sure she was
just joking, please.

What are you talking about?

David, please.

Your father and I-

- I can't believe this.

You want to give
up your religion?

I want you to meet
with rabbi Stein.

I told him that you're
going to call him.

What are you talking about?

This is nuts.

You want me to support you

just going around in California?

That's not what you
went to Yeshiva for.

You left home when
you were younger than me

and your religious.

What good is it anyway?

I'm not talking to rabbi
, forget about-

- Enough David, enough.

I'm sorry, but you
really don't know me.

I'm going to bed.

David, you will
change your mind.

You'll see.

You've never seen
me play baseball.

Not even once,
not even one time.

My mind is made up.

You're quiet today.

What's going on?

You're thinking about
the other night, or?

Nothing's going on.

Hey,

stop lying to me.

Natalie,

I decided to go to
California and go to school,

and play ball.

Oh my God, that's great.

Congratulations.

What's wrong?

Your parents don't
want you to go, or?

Would you come with me?

What?

Would you, think about
coming with me to California.

Okay.

David, I really
like being with you,

but my whole life is here.

I can't just go out
there and start over.

Why not?

You have a job
here that you hate.

Your dad's not around much.

Vinny is off in school.

Hey, come with me.

I'll get a part time job.

I'll go to school, play ball,

and you can get a job there too.

It'll be amazing.

And then what?

Then we have babies together?

What-

- Wait, well, who said
anything about babies?

I mean, maybe we could. I don't-

- Okay, David, no, I can't.

I can't.

Look, I think
you're really sweet,

and I also think that
you need to go do this,

or you're always gonna wonder

what it could've been like.

I don't want to hold you back.

You're not going
to hold me back.

We can have it all.

No, David, I can't.

Well, what do you mean?

I need to go.

What?

I can't get too serious right
now with you or with anyone?

I'm sorry.

We're together, right?

Maybe we shouldn't be.

What are you saying?

Nothing, look, nothing.

I'm sorry.

Look I have to go, but let's
just be cool about this.

We can talk about it later.

It's not-

- I love-

But all
in that same moment.

She understood everything.

Crime and
punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky,

page 549.

Sabah, go run some sprints.

Okay guys, take
some fly balls.

Sabah, you're hitting next.

Come on David.

That's all right,
that's all right.

Come on David, let's go.

Nice and easy David.

I know you can hit.

Relax, this is just a practice.

All right David.

Come on David.

Way to go David.

That's my brother.

That's my paper.

Wow, yeah.

That's my brother.
That's my brother.

He can hit.

Good job, David. Now,
get in the outfield

and do some more sprints.

This looks divine, babe.

You're a great cook
Vivian, thanks.

Thank you.

The veggies are from my
little garden in the back.

I love it here.

Don't you love it here, David?

Yeah.

You're making
any friends, David?

A couple.

It's kind of hard so far.

I'm supposed to hang out
with some of the guys

later tonight.

How's the baseball?

A lot of really great players.

I hope I can just get
a starting position.

Don't be silly.

You can't be negative David.

Vivian, this
tastes so, so good.

You taste so, so good.

I am so blessed to be joined

by two of my most favorite
people in the whole world.

I love you both more
than you'll ever know.

We love you too.

Thank you, Vivian.

Sit, sit.

This feels good.

I have to look for
a new job tomorrow.

I thought you had a new job.

I did, but I quit today.

Why?

Because my boss is woman.

She's a real cunt.

At first I liked her.

I thought she liked me.

She even hit on me once.

Maybe that's it.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, I talked to the
dorm people, and they said,

it'll be ready to
move in next week.

No, you can stay here
as long as you want.

I love having you here.

Thank you.

Morris used to listen to this.

I took some of his records.

It helps me remember him.

I miss him.

What the fuck.

What the fuck is going on?

What is wrong with you?

Are you out of your mind?

God.

I'm getting the
fuck out of here.

Sabah, coach tells me
you're starting today.

Really?

Yeah, you're playing
center and batting first.

Let's go.

Okay, David here we go.

Strike.

Good job.

Good job.

Yes, great.

Hi.

So, how was your day?

It was good.

I'm thinking of going on a diet.

Why, you don't
need to lose weight.

I think Danny thinks I'm fat.

What? That sounds...

I don't think you're fat at all.

Thanks, David.

How was your day?

Actually, my best day yet.

I had three hits.

Almost hit it out of the park.

Started and played center.

That's great, and sweet.

Danny and I are
going to the movies.

You want to come?

No, thanks.

I'm just going to relax
here and watch some TV.

Like I said earlier,

the dorm is going to be
ready for me next week.

Okay, listen about last night.

I'm sorry.

I was out of control,
it was the.

Can we just not talk about it?

Please, let's just forget it.

Why did you ring.

I always leave the door open
when I know you're coming.

I just felt like
ringing today.

What's with my suitcase?

That's right,

we talked about you staying
over for the weekend.

But I thought you
had that yoga seminar

or something on Sunday.

No, I'm not going.

So that's great.

Come on.

If we want to make the movie.

We have to run.

Can you come with me
upstairs when I get ready.

David's just going
to chill here.

No, Vivian, I don't
feel like a movie tonight.

So cool. I can
make some fresh fish

and then we can drink
some wine and cuddle

and then beautiful sex and-

- I can't do this anymore.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

These are some of your things
that you left in my place.

Is this a joke?

What are you talking about?

It this about my brother?

No, no, not at all.

He's cool.

And you're sweet and thoughtful.

I met a guy while
you were in New York.

We've been hanging out a
little bit and I like him.

I like being with a guy again.

It just feels more normal to me.

So I'm not normal?

What the fuck are
you talking about?

I didn't say that.

Why don't we...

We can hang out all together
and see how that feels.

I mean, just the other
day you said you loved me.

I know.

It's over now.

Listen, I got to go.

My friend is waiting.

What's his name?

Douglas.

Yeah, he's really cool.

I got to go.

Go, you fucking cunt.

Go suck, Mr. Dougie's
big fucking prick,

you fucking asshole.

Get the fuck out my house.

Vivian, Vivian, Vivian.

Vivian.

Vivian, are you okay?

Wake up.

Wake up.

Come on, let's go at the beach.

The sun is coming up.

What time is it?

Time to get up and go.

Come on, come on.

Throw on anything.

Let's go quick.

I made some breakfast, and
you have some hot coffee.

You're sure
you're leaving now?

Absolutely.

Come on.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, it is.

You know he used
to love the ocean.

Who?

Morris.

When he was a little
boy he used to tell me

how he wanted to die
in the ocean someday.

Roll around the water and just
let the sea feel his heart.

Really?

I'm going to go
climb that cliff.

I'll come with you.

I wanna be alone.

Sure?

Knock them out
of the park for me?

Vivian.

Vivian, no.

Dear David, please
take care of yourself.

I love you.

Tell mom and dad and
Rita, I love them.

Love Vivian.

Hello.

Natalie, hi.

David. Hi.

I'm running out
the door right now.

Can you just call me back later?

I can't call you back later.

Can you just give me a minute?

I've been trying to reach you.

Yeah, I've been busy, David.

I'm working overtime
on these crazy hours

and my boss is out of town,

so I'm handling his shit.

It's not like going
out to California and-

- I'm here in Brooklyn.

Vivian died.

She killed herself.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

I'm so sorry.

David, I really am.

Can I see you while I'm here?

Yeah. Yes, yes, of course.

I really have to go right
now, but call me later.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

It's so good to see you.

You look good.

Thanks.

What's that?

Sneak out the back.

Come on get over.

Come on.

I'm trying.

Try harder.

You're throwing like shit.

Let's go.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

What the fuck
is wrong with you?

Keep throwing, let's go.

Holy shit.

That could have killed me.

No man, you're hitting too hard.

I hit too hard?

It's enough.

I hit too... Come
on you pussy, pitch.

I can't.

God.

Strike.

Strike two.

Strike three, you're out.
