Nonny: Okay. Um, where exactly is that?

Gil:  It's over there, man.

(Nonny runs to the left near the fence.)

Gil: You can throw it, you know.

Nonny: No.

(Nonny takes off his hat.)

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

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

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

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

Nonny: I helped a guy once.

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

(Gil positions his arm to show Nonny.)

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

(Gil starts to go back to the field.)

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

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

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