"Look Abbott, if you're the coach, you must know all the players."
[list]"I certainly do."[/list:u]
"So, I get the ball, and I throw it where?"
[list]"Yonder."[/list:u]
"I can't just throw it anywhere! I've got to throw it to somebody! Who?!"
[list]"Yonder."[/list:u]
"Just... yonder."
[list]"Yeah."[/list:u]
"That's all I gotta do? Throw it to yonder?"
[list]"Naturally."[/list:u]
"Naturally!"
[list]"Of course."[/list:u]
"Well, I won't be helping much. Forget about me. I'm out of the game. I'm in the stands. The ball is hit to my shortstop and he fields it..."
[list]"Everth."[/list:u]
"Yeah, it'll take a lot of effort! But he's a pro! So he doesn't have a lot of time to go to second..."
[list]"Gyorko."[/list:u]
"WAIT A MINUTE!! Why are you insulting the guy? You just said that he made a heck of an effort!"
[list]"Well he should make a good effort! That's who he is!"[/list:u]
"Who?"
[list]"The shortstop."[/list:u]
"You just said he was a jerko!"
[list]"That's the secondbaseman."[/list:u]
"He's not even in on the play and you're running him down!"
[list]"I did not!"[/list:u]
"You did! What kind of manager are you?"
[list]"I'm a good manager!"[/list:u]
"You are?"
[list]"Yes."[/list:u]
"You know all the players' names?"
[list]"I do."[/list:u]
"And if I catch the ball, and see the runner going to first, I'm going to throw it..."
[list]"Yonder."[/list:u]
"Yonder?"
[list]Of course[/list:u]
"If I overthrow it, will somebody back up the play and throw it hither?"
[list]"Now you're being silly."[/list:u]
"I'm being silly. You're the manager who doesn't care where one guy throws the ball, and insults another guy who ain't even in the play!"
[list]"I'm a very good manager."[/list:u]
"Yeah, who are you facing today."
[list]"Gee."[/list:u]
"Yeah, I stumped you, didn't I?"
