166
00:04:32,459 --> 00:04:34,740
A: Now that's the first thing you've said right.

167
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:37,743
C: I don't even know what I'm talking about!

168
00:04:37,769 --> 00:04:40,327


169
00:04:40,327 --> 00:04:42,736
A: But that's, that all you have...
C: That's all I do is I throw the ball to first base.

170
00:04:42,736 --> 00:04:43,987
C: Now who's got it?

171
00:04:43,987 --> 00:04:46,542
A: Naturally.

172
00:04:46,542 --> 00:04:50,250
A: Now you've got it.
C: If I throw the ball to first base somebody's got to get the ball.

173
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:52,723
C: Now who's got it?
A: Naturally!
C: Who?

174
00:04:52,723 --> 00:04:54,588

00:04:54,588 --> 00:04:57,345


176
00:04:57,345 --> 00:04:58,883
C: Naturally?
A: Naturally.

177
00:04:58,883 --> 00:05:00,653
C: So I pick up the ball and I throw it to 'Naturally'. He gets...

178
00:05:00,653 --> 00:05:02,845
A: No, no, no...
C: Naturally get's the ball...and...

179
00:05:02,845 --> 00:05:05,118
A: You've thrown the ball to first base.

180
00:05:05,118 --> 00:05:08,659
C: Then who gets it?
A: Naturally.

181
00:05:10,419 --> 00:05:12,270
C: So I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally.

182
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:13,521
A: No! No.
C: That's who gets the ball..and...

183
00:05:13,521 --> 00:05:16,547
A: You throw the ball to Who.
C: Naturally.
A: Naturally.

184
00:05:16,547 --> 00:05:18,547
C: That's what I'm saying!
A: You're not saying it that way!

185
00:05:18,547 --> 00:05:20,393
C: I said 'I throw the ball to Naturally'!
A: No you don't!

186
00:05:20,393 --> 00:05:25,296
C: I throw it to who?
A: Naturally.
C: That's what I'm saying!

187
00:05:25,296 --> 00:05:27,376
C: I throw the ball to first base somebody's got to get it.

188
00:05:27,376 --> 00:05:29,793
A: So Who get's it.
C: Naturally...Okay!

189
00:05:29,793 --> 00:05:31,333
C: Now I ask you, who gets it?
A: Naturally.

190
00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:32,842
C: Same as you!
A: No it's not!

191
00:05:32,842 --> 00:05:34,770
C: I throw the ball to naturally.
A: You throw the ball to Who.

192
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:37,017
C: Then who gets it?
A: Naturally.
C: He better get it!

193
00:05:37,017 --> 00:05:40,311
C: So I throw the ball to first base, and whoever it is drops the ball,

194
00:05:40,311 --> 00:05:41,334
and the guy runs to second.


195
00:05:41,334 --> 00:05:43,067
Now Who picks up the ball throws it to What.


196
00:05:43,067 --> 00:05:45,944
What throws it to I Don't Know, I Don't Know throws it back to Tomorrow,

197
00:05:45,944 --> 00:05:47,220
triple play.

198
00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:48,046
A: Could be.

199
00:05:48,046 --> 00:05:51,160
C: Another guy gets up and hits a long flyball to Because.

200
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,257
A: Yes.
C: Why. I don't know. He's on third,

201
00:05:55,257 --> 00:05:57,639
C: And I don't give a darn!

202
00:05:57,639 --> 00:05:58,908


203
00:05:58,908 --> 00:06:00,552
A: What'd you say?
C: I said I don't give a darn.

204
00:06:00,552 --> 00:06:03,619
A: Oh, that's our shortstop!

205
00:06:03,619 --> 00:06:09,747
