You're getting close now!Copy !req

if you nailed it to his ass.Copy !req
7. Shut your pie hole, Piney.Copy !req

14. Back up!Copy !req
15. Exley's up! Back up!Copy !req
16. You sure your boy
got the right prescriptionCopy !req
17. in those spectacles?Copy !req
18. Ah, don't worry, Ex.Copy !req
19. See, I told him
to throw it right atCopy !req
20. your big, nappy,
home-run-hitting head.Copy !req
21. So you can bet
a hundred clams that ball'sCopy !req
22. going anywhere but there.Copy !req
23. Foul! Foul ball! Foul!Copy !req
24. Foul ball!Copy !req
25. Ball!Copy !req
26. Moose!Copy !req
27. Straight over the top.Copy !req
28. - Over the top.
- Over the top!Copy !req
29. Hey, Ex, I heard the Yankees
have been calling you.Copy !req
30. I'm fine playing here
in the Cactus League.Copy !req
31. It's nice and quiet.Copy !req
32. Ball!Copy !req
33. Leave the cactus alone, son!Copy !req
34. Gee, I don't know, Ex.Copy !req
35. Yanks could use
those 60 home runs a year.Copy !req
36. Well, now that, uh, Jackie
Robinson's up there in the bigs,Copy !req
37. people are saying
you're going to be next.Copy !req
38. The first black Negro
man of colorCopy !req
39. in the American League.Copy !req
40. Shoot, Ex,
you'll be famous, man.Copy !req
41. I don't want to be
no famous man.Copy !req
42. Just want to be a man.Copy !req
43. Over the top! Over the top!Copy !req
44. Over the top!Copy !req
45. Fair ball!Copy !req
46. Home run! Home run!Copy !req
47. Sixty-one.Copy !req
48. I told you he could do it.Copy !req
49. I told you he could do it.Copy !req
50. Sixty-one!Copy !req
51. What do you boys want?Copy !req
52. We're just playing
a baseball game here.Copy !req
53. We got no beef with you, sir.Copy !req
54. It's that black Babe Ruth
hiding behind you.Copy !req
55. Josh Exley.Copy !req
56. That's all we come for.Copy !req
57. Well, you can't have him.Copy !req
58. We heard the Yankees want
to let a nigger play ball,Copy !req
59. so we just figure we're
going to play with himCopy !req
60. a little bit some first.Copy !req
61. Now, all you niggers
and nigger-lovers,Copy !req
62. you can go home!Copy !req
63. It's Ex we want.Copy !req
64. That's what I'm talking about,
Moose... straight over the top.Copy !req
65. Come on, straight
over the top with it.Copy !req
66. Here, baby, come on now,
right over the top.Copy !req
67. Come on, get the guns.
Get the guns.Copy !req
68. You boys ain't so tough without
your shotguns, are you, fellas?Copy !req
69. You ain't nothing but a coward.Copy !req
70. Hiding behind
your mama's bedsheet.Copy !req
71. Let's see your face.Copy !req
72. Holy mother of...Copy !req
73. It's a gorgeous day for baseballCopy !req
74. here in the City of Angels,Copy !req
75. and I'm told it's a gorgeous dayCopy !req
76. all over our republic today...Copy !req
77. from Bangor to Bellflower,
from Amarillo to Anchorage.Copy !req
78. The sun is shining, and it's a
perfect day to play baseball...Copy !req
79. Morning.Copy !req
80. Eddie Perez will start it off.Copy !req
81. Right-hand batter...Copy !req
82. Mulder, it is such a
gorgeous day outside.Copy !req
83. Have you ever
entertained the ideaCopy !req
84. of trying to find
life on this planet?Copy !req
85. I have seen the life
on this planet, Scully,Copy !req
86. and that is exactly why
I'm looking elsewhere.Copy !req
87. Did you bring
enough ice cream to shareCopy !req
88. with the rest of the class?Copy !req
89. It's not ice cream.Copy !req
90. It's a nonfat tofutti
rice dreamsicle.Copy !req
91. Ugh. Bet the air in my mouth
tastes better than that.Copy !req
92. You sure know
how to live it up, Scully.Copy !req
93. Oh, you're Mr. Live-It-Up.Copy !req
94. Mulder, you're reallyCopy !req
95. Mr. "Squeeze every last drop out
of this sweet life," aren't you?Copy !req
96. On this precious Saturday,Copy !req
97. you've got us
grabbing life by the testes,Copy !req
98. stealing reference books
from the FBI libraryCopy !req
99. in order to go through New
Mexico newspaper obituariesCopy !req
100. for the years 1940 to 1949.Copy !req
101. And for what joyful purpose?Copy !req
102. Looking for anomalies, Scully.Copy !req
103. Do you know how many
so-called "flying disc" reportsCopy !req
104. there were in New Mexico
in the 1940s?Copy !req
105. I don't care.Copy !req
106. Mulder, this is a
needle in a haystack.Copy !req
107. These poor souls have
been dead for 50 years.Copy !req
108. Let them rest in peace.
Let sleeping dogs lie.Copy !req
109. Well, I won't sit idly by
as you hurl cliches at me.Copy !req
110. Preparation is
the father of inspiration.Copy !req
111. Necessity is the
mother of invention.Copy !req
112. The road of excess
leads to the palace of wisdom.Copy !req
113. Eat, drink and be merry,
for tomorrow we may die.Copy !req
114. I scream, you scream,
we all screamCopy !req
115. for nonfat tofutti
rice dreamsicles.Copy !req
116. No...!Copy !req
117. Mulder...Copy !req
118. Mulder!Copy !req
119. You cheat!Copy !req
120. I can't believe
that you've been readingCopy !req
121. about baseball this whole time.Copy !req
122. I'm reading
the box scores, Scully.Copy !req
123. You'd like it. It's like the
Pythagorean theorem for jocks.Copy !req
124. It distills
all the chaos and actionCopy !req
125. of any game in the history
of all baseball gamesCopy !req
126. into one tiny, perfect,
rectangular sequence of numbers.Copy !req
127. I can look at this box,Copy !req
128. and I can recreate
exactly what happenedCopy !req
129. on some sunny summer day
back in 1947.Copy !req
130. It's like the numbers talk
to me, they comfort me.Copy !req
131. They tell me that even though
lots of things can change,Copy !req
132. some things do
remain the same. It's...Copy !req
133. Boring.Copy !req
134. Mulder, can I ask you
a personal question?Copy !req
135. Of course not.Copy !req
136. Did your mother ever tell you
to go outside and play?Copy !req
137. Is that Arthur Dales?Copy !req
138. Mulder?Copy !req
139. You just defaced property
of the U.S. Government.Copy !req
140. it is gone!Copy !req
141. You rebel.Copy !req
142. What in hell took you so long?Copy !req
143. I'm-I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
144. I'm-I'm looking for
Arthur Dales.Copy !req
145. I'm Arthur Dales.Copy !req
146. No, you're not.Copy !req
147. Don't be a wiseass, son.Copy !req
148. No, I-I'm sorry, sir,
I know Arthur Dales,Copy !req
149. and you're not Arthur Dales.Copy !req
150. Arthur Dales is my brother.Copy !req
151. My name also happens
to be Arthur Dales.Copy !req
152. It's the same name,
different guy.Copy !req
153. The other Arthur,
he moved to Florida,Copy !req
154. the lucky bastard.Copy !req
155. Our parents weren't exactly bigCopy !req
156. in the imagination department
when it came to names.Copy !req
157. If it would help you
wrapping your little headCopy !req
158. around this stupefying
mystery, Agent Mulder,Copy !req
159. we had a sister
named Arthur, too,Copy !req
160. and a goldfish.Copy !req
161. How do you know my name?Copy !req
162. My brother told me
all about you.Copy !req
163. He said you were
the biggest jackassCopy !req
164. in the Bureau since he retired.Copy !req
165. Yeah, we're big fans.Copy !req
166. Sometimes we'd stay awake
hours at nightCopy !req
167. just talking about you.Copy !req
168. Just fascinating.Copy !req
169. Now, unless you're hiding
some Chinese food,Copy !req
170. let's call it a day.Copy !req
171. Mr. Dales, I have a, uh...Copy !req
172. I have a photo here
of your brother.Copy !req
173. M-Maybe it's you.Copy !req
174. It's from many years ago,Copy !req
175. and you're standing
in Roswell, New Mexico.Copy !req
176. Roswell.
That's me.Copy !req
177. I was a cop once in Roswell.Copy !req
178. Okay, and you're standing with
Negro League legend Josh Exley,Copy !req
179. who disappeared without a traceCopy !req
180. during a season
in which he reportedlyCopy !req
181. hit 60 home runs.Copy !req
182. Sixty-one.Copy !req
183. 61 home runs in 1948.Copy !req
184. Forty-seven.Copy !req
185. '47, whatever.Copy !req
186. I don't really care about
the baseball so much, sir.Copy !req
187. What I care about is this man
in the picture with youCopy !req
188. I believe to be
an alien bounty hunter.Copy !req
189. Of course you don't care
about the baseball, Mr. Mulder.Copy !req
190. You only bothered my brother
about the important things,Copy !req
191. like government conspiracies
and alien bounty huntersCopy !req
192. and the truth
with a capital "T."Copy !req
193. Wait a minute.
I like baseball.Copy !req
194. - You like baseball, huh?
- Yeah.Copy !req
195. How many home runs
did Mickey Mantle hit?Copy !req
196. A hundred and sixty-three.Copy !req
197. Righty. 373 lefty.
536 total.Copy !req
198. What you fail to understandCopy !req
199. in your joyless myopiaCopy !req
200. is that baseball
is the key to life...Copy !req
201. the Rosetta stone, if you will.Copy !req
202. If you just understood
baseball better,Copy !req
203. all your other questions,
your-your...Copy !req
204. the, uh...
the aliens, the conspiracies...Copy !req
205. they would all, in their way,Copy !req
206. be answered
by the baseball gods.Copy !req
207. Yes, sir, that may be true.Copy !req
208. I'm thinking that
your experience in RoswellCopy !req
209. could be germane to a conspiracy
between men in our governmentCopy !req
210. and these shape-shifting
alien beings.Copy !req
211. Oh, don't bore me, son.Copy !req
212. My brother Arthur
started the X FilesCopy !req
213. with the Federal Bureau
of ObfuscationCopy !req
214. before you were born.Copy !req
215. He was working for the FBI
hunting for aliensCopy !req
216. when you were watching
My Best Friend's Martians.Copy !req
217. You say
"shape-shifting."Copy !req
218. Agent Mulder,Copy !req
219. do you believe that love
can make a man shape-shift?Copy !req
220. I guess... women change men
all the time.Copy !req
221. I'm not talking about women.Copy !req
222. I'm talking about love, passion.Copy !req
223. Like the passion you have
for provingCopy !req
224. extraterrestrial life.Copy !req
225. Do you believe that that passionCopy !req
226. can change your very nature?Copy !req
227. Can make you shape-shift
from a man into somethingCopy !req
228. other than a man?Copy !req
229. What exactly has your brother
told you about me?Copy !req
230. Mr. Dales, if you
and your brotherCopy !req
231. have really known
about this bounty hunterCopy !req
232. and plans for colonization
for the last 50 years,Copy !req
233. why the hell wouldn't you
have told anybody?Copy !req
234. Nobody'd believe me.Copy !req
235. Well, I would have believed you.Copy !req
236. You weren't... ripe.Copy !req
237. Not ripe?Copy !req
238. Let me tell you something:
I have been ripe for years.Copy !req
239. I am way past ripe.Copy !req
240. I'm so ripe I'm rotten.Copy !req
241. This cuts to the very heart
of the mysteryCopy !req
242. of what I've been doing with
my life for the past ten years.Copy !req
243. Oh, the heart of the mystery,
the heart of the mystery.Copy !req
244. Ah, there you are.Copy !req
245. Mr. Mulder,Copy !req
246. maybe you'd better start
paying a little less attentionCopy !req
247. to the heart of the mysteryCopy !req
248. and a little more attention
to the mystery of the heart.Copy !req
249. You got a dime?Copy !req
250. What is this?Copy !req
251. This little fellow goes
by the name of Pete Rosebud.Copy !req
252. If you keep pumping
coffee money into him,Copy !req
253. he'll tell you a story
about baseball and aliensCopy !req
254. and bounty hunters.Copy !req
255. You're making me
feel like a child.Copy !req
256. Perfect.Copy !req
257. That's exactly the right place
to start from then, isn't it?Copy !req
258. Now, the first thing you got to
know about baseball is...Copy !req
259. it keeps you forever young.Copy !req
260. Mr. Exley?Copy !req
261. Mr. Exley,
my name's Arthur Dales.Copy !req
262. I'm an employee of
the Roswell Police Department.Copy !req
263. Have I broken a law, sir?Copy !req
264. You stole.Copy !req
265. Second base in the third inning.Copy !req
266. I'm a witness.Copy !req
267. Officer, I seen Ex steal...Copy !req
268. at least 50 bases this year.Copy !req
269. No, sir, you haven't
broken any laws,Copy !req
270. not that I'm aware of.Copy !req
271. Um, I've been assigned
by my superiorsCopy !req
272. to protect you
against certain parties.Copy !req
273. I'm the one need protection
from certain parties.Copy !req
274. Ex here... he in bed
by 8:00 every night.Copy !req
275. I appreciate your concern, sir,Copy !req
276. but I can protect myself.Copy !req
277. Mr. Exley, I'm not a big
sports hero like yourself, sir,Copy !req
278. and I really don't have
an opinion on Negroes,Copy !req
279. or Jews or CommunistsCopy !req
280. or even Canadians and
vegetarians, for that matter,Copy !req
281. but I cannot stomach
the murder of a manCopy !req
282. of any persuasion or any colorCopy !req
283. being flaunted and solicited
in my town... not on my watch.Copy !req
284. So you can be safe with me
in a cell down at the precinct,Copy !req
285. or you can be safe with me
here on the bus.Copy !req
286. Seeing as how this is
still America,Copy !req
287. you're free to choose, sir.Copy !req
288. Vous etes sans coeur.Copy !req
289. Vous etes sans coeur,
mademoiselle.Copy !req
290. Vous etes sans
coeur... coeur...Copy !req
291. Hey, Officer Dales,Copy !req
292. you're a decent man, ain't you?Copy !req
293. I try to be.Copy !req
294. Well, the fellas feel like
the umps would treat us betterCopy !req
295. if you got us eight more
uniforms like these to play in.Copy !req
296. Yeah.Copy !req
297. You could change your name
from the Roswell GraysCopy !req
298. to the Roswell Black and Blues.Copy !req
299. What's the matter, Arthur?Copy !req
300. You look like you ain't
never seen a black man before.Copy !req
301. I've got to give it
to you, Arthur.Copy !req
302. Calling a Negro League team
from Roswell the GraysCopy !req
303. is pretty clever.Copy !req
304. E.T. steal home.
E.T. steal home.Copy !req
305. I didn't make that up.Copy !req
306. You seriously want me to
believe that Josh Exley,Copy !req
307. maybe one of the
greatest ballplayersCopy !req
308. of all times, was an alien?Copy !req
309. They're all aliens,
Agent Mulder...Copy !req
310. all the great ones.Copy !req
311. Babe Ruth was an alien?Copy !req
312. Yeah.Copy !req
313. Joe DiMaggio?Copy !req
314. Sure.Copy !req
315. Willie Mays?Copy !req
316. Well, obviously.Copy !req
317. Mantle? Koufax? Gibson?Copy !req
318. Bob or Kirk?Copy !req
319. See, none of
the great ones fit in...Copy !req
320. not in this world,
not in any other world.Copy !req
321. They're all aliens, Mulder,Copy !req
322. till they step between
the white chalk lines...Copy !req
323. till they step on
the outfield grass.Copy !req
324. Like clockwork.Copy !req
325. Poorboy with my medicine.Copy !req
326. Give the kid a tip, will ya?Copy !req
327. So I assume
you're speaking metaphorically?Copy !req
328. Speaking metaphorically,Copy !req
329. is for young men like you,
Agent MacGyver.Copy !req
330. I don't have time for that.Copy !req
331. I only have time
to speak the truth.Copy !req
332. You're a regular Rockefeller,
ain't you?Copy !req
333. If Ex hits a couple of
dingers, that'll be 60.Copy !req
334. That ties the Babe.Copy !req
335. Aw, that ball's worth nothing.Copy !req
336. Ex ain't a major leaguer,
so the record don't count.Copy !req
337. Does, too.Copy !req
338. Does not.Copy !req
339. - Does, too.
- Does not.Copy !req
340. Does, too.Copy !req
341. Does not.Copy !req
342. - Does.
- Not.Copy !req
343. Perfect day for a ball game.Copy !req
344. There, uh... there
was a bee on you.Copy !req
345. Must have been a real big one.Copy !req
346. Could have ripped your head off.Copy !req
347. Hey, Arthur.Copy !req
348. Thanks.Copy !req
349. Officer Arthur Dales,Copy !req
350. making the world safe
for baseball and Negroes.Copy !req
351. Play ball!Copy !req
352. Time! Time!Copy !req
353. Do you know your name, son?Copy !req
354. Josh, do you know where you are?Copy !req
355. Josh, man, wake up.Copy !req
356. Do you know where you're from?Copy !req
357. Macon...Copy !req
358. Macon, Georgia.Copy !req
359. Macon Police Department.Copy !req
360. Can I help you?Copy !req
361. Yeah, my name is Arthur Dales.Copy !req
362. I'm with the Roswell
Police Department.Copy !req
363. I'm doing a background check
on a gentlemanCopy !req
364. I believe is from your area.Copy !req
365. His name is Josh Exley.Copy !req
366. You want information
on a Josh Exley?Copy !req
367. Yeah, name rings a bell.Copy !req
368. Yeah, I got a Josh Exley.Copy !req
369. A six-year-old colored boy
disappeared,Copy !req
370. oh, maybe five years ago.Copy !req
371. Now, do you got a readCopy !req
372. on this Josh Exley's
whereabouts?Copy !req
373. Six years old?Copy !req
374. You wanted to see me aboutCopy !req
375. running some chemical
tests, Arthur?Copy !req
376. Yeah. Hold on.Copy !req
377. That would make him 11 now?Copy !req
378. No, that can't...
can't be the one.Copy !req
379. I love my job.Copy !req
380. And is that all you have?Copy !req
381. Are you certain?Copy !req
382. Certain as the sunrise.Copy !req
383. I'm sorry, son.Copy !req
384. Did you say where
you were calling from?Copy !req
385. Roswell... Roswell, New Mexico.Copy !req
386. Roswell.Copy !req
387. Hey. Morning, Poorboy.Copy !req
388. Morning, Ex.
How's the melon?Copy !req
389. My melon's fine.Copy !req
390. That boy throws like a lady.Copy !req
391. I hear the Yankee scouts
are here today.Copy !req
392. Going to hit numero 60?Copy !req
393. Ain't no scouts here today.Copy !req
394. Sure there are. Look.Copy !req
395. Right over there.Copy !req
396. I'll be damned.Copy !req
397. Hey, kids.Copy !req
398. So how's it going?Copy !req
399. Ex is stinking up the diamond.Copy !req
400. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
401. Yeah.Copy !req
402. Well, anybody can have
a bad day.Copy !req
403. Yeah, but the Yankee scoutsCopy !req
404. are in attendance today.Copy !req
405. I don't think
they'll relish the ideaCopy !req
406. of him being in the majorsCopy !req
407. after such a piss-poor outing
as this.Copy !req
408. Strike two!Copy !req
409. Two balls, two strikes now.Copy !req
410. Ex...Copy !req
411. why did you tank
that game today?Copy !req
412. I won that game today.Copy !req
413. You tanked the game today.Copy !req
414. You want me to tell you why?Copy !req
415. Because your name's
not Josh Exley.Copy !req
416. Josh Exley is a
six-year-old kidCopy !req
417. who disappeared
from Macon, Georgia,Copy !req
418. about the same time that
you showed up in Roswell.Copy !req
419. I ain't never been to Macon.Copy !req
420. When you got beaned, you
said you were from Macon.Copy !req
421. Well, I also spoke tongues
like I didCopy !req
422. when I was a little boy
in church.Copy !req
423. I was joking, Arthur. Relax.Copy !req
424. I'm relaxed.Copy !req
425. You're hiding something.Copy !req
426. That's why you don't dare
get into the major leagues,Copy !req
427. 'cause the sports
writers and everybodyCopy !req
428. would be digging around,Copy !req
429. and they'd find out
what it is, right?Copy !req
430. So you tanked the game
in front of those scouts today.Copy !req
431. Disappointing those kids...
disappointing your teammates...Copy !req
432. disappointing your race...Copy !req
433. Look here, don't go
talking about my race.Copy !req
434. You don't know nothing
about my race.Copy !req
435. I know that liars
come in all colors.Copy !req
436. You got a secret.Copy !req
437. Famous or not, I'm going to
find out what it is.Copy !req
438. While you're out
chasing secrets,Copy !req
439. you make sure you're
chasing the right ones.Copy !req
440. Ex?Copy !req
441. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
442. Oh!Copy !req
443. This is ridiculous.Copy !req
444. You're supposed to be
a big, bad policeman.Copy !req
445. Now, hold up, Arthur.Copy !req
446. Now, before you go
fainting again, listen to me.Copy !req
447. It's me, Arthur.Copy !req
448. It's Ex.Copy !req
449. This is an interesting dream.Copy !req
450. Wake up.Copy !req
451. Come on, Artie.Copy !req
452. Man, you ain't dreaming.Copy !req
453. This is what I really look like.Copy !req
454. This is the real me.Copy !req
455. Ex?Copy !req
456. It's really you under there, Ex?Copy !req
457. Ow!Copy !req
458. I ain't "under"
anything, Arthur,Copy !req
459. and I'm trying not
to be insultedCopy !req
460. by your reaction
to my true face.Copy !req
461. Look, would it be easier
if I looked like this?Copy !req
462. Would this be easier
for you to handle?Copy !req
463. No. Somehow, that's
even weirder.Copy !req
464. Bus leaves
in five... Ooh.Copy !req
465. So why did you, uh,Copy !req
466. leave your family
in, uh... in Georgia?Copy !req
467. My people guard
their privacy zealously.Copy !req
468. I can understand that.Copy !req
469. They don't...
they don't like for usCopy !req
470. to intermingle with your people.Copy !req
471. Their philosophy isCopy !req
472. we stick to ourselves;
you stick to yourselves...Copy !req
473. everybody's happy.Copy !req
474. So what happened?Copy !req
475. Well, you know what happened.Copy !req
476. You fell in love
with an Earth woman.Copy !req
477. No.Copy !req
478. I saw a baseball game.Copy !req
479. - Oh.
- See, there's somethingCopy !req
480. you got to understand
about my race.Copy !req
481. We don't have a word
for laughter.Copy !req
482. We don't laugh.Copy !req
483. I don't know if you noticedCopy !req
484. in between all that fainting
you was doing,Copy !req
485. but we have very tiny mouths,
so no smiling even.Copy !req
486. I tell you, when I saw
that baseball game being played,Copy !req
487. this laughter just...Copy !req
488. it just rose up out of me.Copy !req
489. You know, the sound
the ball makesCopy !req
490. when it hits the bat?Copy !req
491. Yeah.Copy !req
492. It was like music to me.Copy !req
493. You know, the smell
of the grass, leather mitt...Copy !req
494. first unnecessary thing
I ever done in my life,Copy !req
495. and I fell in love.Copy !req
496. I didn't know the unnecessary
could feel so good.Copy !req
497. You know, the game
was meaningless,Copy !req
498. but it seemed to mean
everything to me.Copy !req
499. It was useless, but perfect.Copy !req
500. Yeah, like, uh...
like a rose.Copy !req
501. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a rose.Copy !req
502. See? You get it, Arthur.Copy !req
503. - You're a fan.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
504. I tell you, from that moment on,Copy !req
505. I just couldn't fix myself
to go home.Copy !req
506. Come on up here, Ex.Copy !req
507. Let's hear that beautiful voiceCopy !req
508. you got on you.Copy !req
509. Gray Bus Lines.
You can go home again.Copy !req
510. Let me get this straight...Copy !req
511. a free-spirited alien
fell in love with baseballCopy !req
512. and ran away from
the other non-fun-having aliensCopy !req
513. and made himself black,
because that would prevent himCopy !req
514. from getting to the majors
where his unspeakable secretCopy !req
515. might be discovered by
an intrusive press and public,Copy !req
516. and you're also implying that...Copy !req
517. You certainly have a knackCopy !req
518. for turning chicken salad
into chicken spit.Copy !req
519. You're also implying
that this baseball-playing alienCopy !req
520. has something to do with
the famous Roswell UFO crashCopy !req
521. of July '47, aren't you?Copy !req
522. You're just dying
to connect the dots,Copy !req
523. aren't you, son?Copy !req
524. Look, I give you some wood,Copy !req
525. I ask you for a cabinet.Copy !req
526. You build me a cathedral.Copy !req
527. I don't want a cathedral.Copy !req
528. I like where I live.Copy !req
529. I just want a place
to put my TV.Copy !req
530. Understand my drift?Copy !req
531. Drift it is, sir.Copy !req
532. Trust the tale, Agent MacGyver,Copy !req
533. not the teller.Copy !req
534. That which fascinates usCopy !req
535. is by definition true.Copy !req
536. Speaking metaphorically,
of course.Copy !req
537. Okay, so was Ex a man
who was metaphorically an alienCopy !req
538. or an alien who was
metaphorically a manCopy !req
539. or a something in betweenCopy !req
540. that was literally
an alien-human hybrid?Copy !req
541. It's official.Copy !req
542. I am a horse's ass.Copy !req
543. What is it to be a human, Fox?Copy !req
544. Is it to have
the chemistry of a man?Copy !req
545. In the universal scheme
of things,Copy !req
546. a dog's chemistry is nearly
identical to that of a man.Copy !req
547. But is a dog like a man?Copy !req
548. I have noticed that
over the course of time,Copy !req
549. a man and his dog will start
to look like one another.Copy !req
550. To be a man is to have
the heart of a man.Copy !req
551. Integrity, decency, sympathy...Copy !req
552. these are the things
that make a man a man,Copy !req
553. and Ex had them all...Copy !req
554. had them all,
more than you or I.Copy !req
555. Dales.Copy !req
556. Ted?Copy !req
557. Calm down. What is it?Copy !req
558. This goo on the glove
you gave me... is this a joke?Copy !req
559. Why?Copy !req
560. It's not likeCopy !req
561. any chemical compound
I've ever seen.Copy !req
562. It's from a life-form which
doesn't seem to be carbon-based,Copy !req
563. which, by the way,
is impossible.Copy !req
564. This is way out of my league.Copy !req
565. I called to the FBICopy !req
566. and the Communicable Disease
Center in Washington...Copy !req
567. Washington?
Oh, no, Ted, you didn't.Copy !req
568. Nobody was supposed to know
about this.Copy !req
569. Can you... can you get
the glove back to me?Copy !req
570. Sure, soon as I finish up here.Copy !req
571. I didn't mean to startle you.Copy !req
572. I'm Josh.Copy !req
573. Oh, I know who you are.Copy !req
574. Only the best damn ballplayer
west of the Bronx.Copy !req
575. Oh, thank you, sir.Copy !req
576. Arthur sent me down here
to explain this substance.Copy !req
577. That's my mittCopy !req
578. it ruined.Copy !req
579. Where is this stuff from?Copy !req
580. Where did you get it?Copy !req
581. Mars.Copy !req
582. Actually, just
to the left of Mars.Copy !req
583. What do you think you're doing?Copy !req
584. Ex?Copy !req
585. Ex, there's this fella
down at the precinctCopy !req
586. who's willing to
swear on his lifeCopy !req
587. that you killed a man
this afternoon.Copy !req
588. Now, I'm not sure what's...Copy !req
589. what's going on here,Copy !req
590. but I... I do know that
you're no murderer.Copy !req
591. You're going to have
to get out of town, Ex.Copy !req
592. Life ain't like baseball, is it?Copy !req
593. No.Copy !req
594. No, it's not.Copy !req
595. I had a talk with my relative.Copy !req
596. A good talk.Copy !req
597. He made me understand
reason, Arthur.Copy !req
598. Family's more important
than a game.Copy !req
599. So... I got to go home.Copy !req
600. You still consider them
to be your family?Copy !req
601. Of course I do.Copy !req
602. Who you think my family is?Copy !req
603. I don't know.Copy !req
604. Your team?Copy !req
605. Don't get cornball on me, man.Copy !req
606. Next thing,
you're going to be telling meCopy !req
607. is I owe it to all
the little kids to breakCopy !req
608. the home-run record,
or I owe it to the black folks,Copy !req
609. who think I'm one of them,
to make it to the majors,Copy !req
610. or I should just keep playingCopy !req
611. out of some meaningless human
concept of pride or loyalty.Copy !req
612. I don't know, Ex.Copy !req
613. We don't think like that, man.Copy !req
614. We may be able to look like
y'all, but we ain't y'all.Copy !req
615. You know the big thing
that separates us from you?Copy !req
616. What's that?Copy !req
617. We got rhythm.Copy !req
618. I better go.Copy !req
619. Yeah.Copy !req
620. Hey, you do me a favor?Copy !req
621. Will you tell people
what I did on the field?Copy !req
622. Will you tell your kids
how I played the game?Copy !req
623. You know I will, Ex.Copy !req
624. Hey, man, uh...Copy !req
625. one more thing.Copy !req
626. What?Copy !req
627. You got a pretty good arm
on you, boy.Copy !req
628. You may think you know
the man, Dales,Copy !req
629. but believe me,
you do not know the man.Copy !req
630. You don't know what I know,Copy !req
631. and you don't know
what I don't know.Copy !req
632. This is no minor-league,
Mexico cowboy cop crap.Copy !req
633. If I told you
what was really going on,Copy !req
634. you'd just stare at me
in wild-eyed wonderCopy !req
635. and pee your pants like a baby.Copy !req
636. Now, tell me
what I want to know.Copy !req
637. Where's Exley?Copy !req
638. I told you, he told me
he was going home.Copy !req
639. Play ball!Copy !req
640. You sure your boy gotCopy !req
641. the right prescription
in those spectacles?Copy !req
642. Home run!Copy !req
643. I got a witness puts him
at the murder scene.Copy !req
644. Now, I know they have
a tendency to look alike,Copy !req
645. but unless he's got a guyCopy !req
646. running around town
looks identical to him,Copy !req
647. he is a murderer,
you could be an accomplice,Copy !req
648. and the two of you fast sliding
down a giant razor bladeCopy !req
649. into a big old glass
of lemonade.Copy !req
650. But you hand him over...Copy !req
651. you can wear your big hatCopy !req
652. and that pretty badge
as long as you want.Copy !req
653. Are we finished?Copy !req
654. No, Mr. Dales...Copy !req
655. you're finished.Copy !req
656. "Home."Copy !req
657. God!Copy !req
658. Come on.Copy !req
659. It's over.Copy !req
660. I know.Copy !req
661. I warned you.
You didn't listen.Copy !req
662. Now you die.Copy !req
663. It's the right thing to do.Copy !req
664. What do you know
of the right thing to do?Copy !req
665. You, who would risk exposing
the entire project for a game.Copy !req
666. A game.Copy !req
667. I hit a home run tonight.Copy !req
668. A home run?Copy !req
669. Number 61.Copy !req
670. I set a record.Copy !req
671. Show me your true face
so you can die with dignity.Copy !req
672. As your executioner,Copy !req
673. I show you my true face
before I kill you.Copy !req
674. Show me your true face,Copy !req
675. or you will die without honor.Copy !req
676. This is my true face.Copy !req
677. So be it.Copy !req
678. No! Stop!Copy !req
679. Ex!Copy !req
680. No, let me be.Copy !req
681. Let me be!Copy !req
682. Get off me.Copy !req
683. Our blood is like
acid to you people.Copy !req
684. Arthur, get away.Copy !req
685. Don't touch it.Copy !req
686. It's just blood, Ex. Look.Copy !req
687. It's just blood.Copy !req
688. Wow.Copy !req
689. So, uh...Copy !req
690. I get this message
marked "urgent"Copy !req
691. on my answering service
from one Fox Mantle,Copy !req
692. telling me to come
down to the parkCopy !req
693. for a very special,Copy !req
694. very early or very late
birthday present.Copy !req
695. And, Mulder...Copy !req
696. I don't see any nicely wrapped
presents lying around,Copy !req
697. so what gives?Copy !req
698. You've never hit a baseball,
have you, Scully?Copy !req
699. No, I guess I have, uh...Copy !req
700. found more necessary things
to do with my timeCopy !req
701. than... slap a piece
of horsehide with a stick.Copy !req
702. Get over here, Scully.Copy !req
703. This my birthday present,
Mulder?Copy !req
704. You shouldn't have.Copy !req
705. This ain't cheap.Copy !req
706. I'm paying that kid
ten bucks an hourCopy !req
707. to shag balls.Copy !req
708. Hey, it's not a bad
piece of ash, huh?Copy !req
709. The bat... talking
about the bat.Copy !req
710. Now, don't strangle it.Copy !req
711. You just want to
shake hands with it.Copy !req
712. "Hello, Mr. Bat. It's a pleasure
to make your acquaintance."Copy !req
713. "Oh, no, no, Ms. Scully.Copy !req
714. The pleasure's all mine."Copy !req
715. Okay, now, we want to...Copy !req
716. we want to go hips
before hands, okay?Copy !req
717. We want to stride
forward and turn.Copy !req
718. That's all we're thinking about.Copy !req
719. So, we go hips...
before hands, all right?Copy !req
720. Okay. Hips...Copy !req
721. One more time.Copy !req
722. Hips... before
hands, all right?Copy !req
723. - Yeah.
- What is it?Copy !req
724. Hips before hands.Copy !req
725. Right. We're going
to wait on the pitch.Copy !req
726. We're going to keep
our eye on the ball.Copy !req
727. - Okay.
- Then we're just going to make contact.Copy !req
728. We're not going to think.Copy !req
729. We're just going to let
it fly, Scully, okay?Copy !req
730. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
731. Ready?Copy !req
732. I'm in the middle.Copy !req
733. All right, fire away, Poorboy.Copy !req
734. Ooh! That's good.Copy !req
735. All right, what you may findCopy !req
736. is you concentrate on
hitting that little ball...Copy !req
737. the rest of the world
just fades away...Copy !req
738. all your everyday,
nagging concerns.Copy !req
739. The ticking of your
biological clock.Copy !req
740. How you probably couldn't affordCopy !req
741. that nice new suede coat
on a G-woman's salary.Copy !req
742. How you threw away a promising
career in medicine...Copy !req
743. to hunt aliens with a crackpot,
albeit brilliant, partner.Copy !req
744. Getting into the heartCopy !req
745. of a global conspiracy.Copy !req
746. Your obscenely overdue
triple-X bill.Copy !req
747. Oh, I-I'm sorry, Scully.Copy !req
748. Those last two problems
are mine, not yours.Copy !req
749. Shut up, Mulder.Copy !req
750. I'm playing baseball.Copy !req
751. Ooh!Copy !req
752. I made this!Copy !req
