Dialogues with pictures

COACH: All right boys and girls, I want you to say hello to my friend, the uneven bars. I need a volunteer, Anderson, come here. LOUIE: This is great coach
, I think I mastered this. Can I get down now? COACH: Come on Anderson, put some swing into it. Let's try it again Anderson, if at first you don't succeed.

LOUIE [narrating]: Of course this now meant that I was obligated to play baseball. How old could that be. The good news was I was on the same team as all my friends. MIKE GRUNEWALD: Hey Louie, I thought you were too busy training for the Olympic gymnastic team. TODDLER TOBOLINSKI: Yeah what changed your mind? LOUIE: I made a deal. My dad it got me out of gym class. What's so funny? MIKE GRUNEWALD: That's some deal Louie. LOUIE [narrating]: The bad news was our coach.
COACH LARRY ROCKWELL: Hey Anderson looks like that ingrown toenails healing nicely, you know a few wind sprints ought to speed up the healing process. Mike Grunewald was right, Dad had sold me swampland. Instead of seeing coach Rockwell three days a week in gym class, I saw him at baseball practice five days a week and a game every Saturday.

ANDY: He's gonna play, they're just saving him up. See that the coach is talking to him
right now. COACH: All right Louie, I got a job for you LOUIE: Am I going in, coach? COACH: Yes you're going in to the convenience store down the block, picking up some sodas and bringing them back. Let's see some hustle now.

ANDY: Meet your new coach. Now, first thing we gotta do is change the name of this team. LOUIE: What's wrong with the Chipmunks? ANDY: You know what a chipmunk is it's a little bitty-eyed rotten that gets run over in the street. Now you can do shipment and getting new uniforms for all you. I came up with the perfect name: Mortar Blasts.

ORA: You know Louie, I used to play a little stickball with my brothers on the farm. They showed me a lot of tricks.
LOUIE: Do you remember any of them? ORA: Maybe one or two. Now if you want an outside slider you put your middle finger across the stitches, like this. Remember the breathing pattern I taught you. All right now give me the heat, Louie! There you go that's perfect.

JEANNIE HARPER: Come on Louie, pitch it in here!
ORA: Give it the outside spider, Louie! ANDY: Don't listen to her Louie. LOUIE: This one's for you, Mom. COACH: We won!
