MOM (O.S.)
Scotty?
DEN
Scotty whips 'round like he's been slapped by a wet mackerel -
Mom's in the doorway.
SCOTTY
Huh?!
MOM
Honey, what are you doing in here?
SCOTTY
Ah... just looking at Bill's - I mean
Dad's baseball.
Scotty hurries away from the "autographed" ball.
MOM
You know he doesn't like you touching
his things.
SCOTTY
Yeah, I know. Sorry, Mom.
MOM
Has he ever told you about that ball?
SCOTTY
Uh - no, not really, I don't think so -
no, he hasn't at all - I don't know
_anything_ about it.
MOM
It's signed by Babe Ruth...
Sweet mother of - Mom knows! Scotty may collapse.
MOM (CONT'D)
...the greatest baseball player that
ever lived.
SCOTTY
Um... really?
MOM
It sure is. Dad's father gave it to
him. Maybe someday, he'll give it to
you.
79
everyone: *jaws drop*
SCOTTY
(DAZED)
Uh... neat.
NARRATOR
It was salt in an open wound. Even my
own mom, who was only a grown-up girl,
knew who Babe Ruth was.
Smalls; *rubs neck*
INT. TREE HOUSE - DAY
The gang's all here. Big plans. War conference.
SCOTTY
So, how do we get it back?
SQUINTS
I have no idea.
NARRATOR
I was dead meat. I knew it. They
knew it. We had thought that those
cards Benny had gotten meant that
something great was going to happen.
Now I figured that they'd just meant
my life was over.
