[MUSIC - "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME"]
MR. JOHNSON: Good eye!
Way to look!
Way to watch!
VENDOR: Hot dogs.
Get your red hots.
Who wants one?
MR. JOHNSON: Hot dogs!
Aw.
Oh, boy, this is great.
It's a gorgeous day.
Here I am at the ballpark.
And look, I've got my glove, and I'm in a perfect seat to
catch a foul ball when it comes my way.
What more could a person want?
Except maybe a hot dog, huh?
Hey, hot dog!
GROVER: Yes, sir.
MR. JOHNSON: You?
What are you doing here?
GROVER: Oh, observe the cap and license, sir.
I am selling hot dogs.
Would you like to buy one?
MR. JOHNSON: Well, as a matter of fact, I would.
And hurry, please.
I want to be ready in case someone hits a ball out here.
GROVER: Fine, one hot dog coming up, sir.
And I'll just put this on the seat here.
All righty.
Now, sir, would you like that rare, medium, or well-done?
MR. JOHNSON: Oh, it doesn't matter.
GROVER: OK.
And how about mustard?
We have spicy, yellow, and Dijon with tarragon.
MR. JOHNSON: Oh, would you please just give me a hot dog?
[BAT HITTING BALL]
GROVER: OK, hot dog.
Pretzels?
Sweet relish?
MR. JOHNSON: Here it comes!
I got it!
GROVER: Watch out!
Watch out!
KID: I got it!
I got it!
Oh yeah, Daddy, yeah.
Oh, yeah, look at that, huh?
MR. JOHNSON: You knocked me down!
Why did you do that?
GROVER: I was protecting you, sir.
MR. JOHNSON: Protecting me?
GROVER: Yeah, well, the ball is hard, and it was going to
hit you on your big blue cute head.
MR. JOHNSON: Oh, it was not going to hit me
on my big blue head.
I was going to catch it.
That's why I've got this seat.
That's why I brought my glove.
I was hoping I could catch a foul ball, and you
made me miss it.
GROVER: Well, I am sorry, sir.
I was only trying to shield you from injury.
MR. JOHNSON: Well, don't.
GROVER: Fine.
MR. JOHNSON: Just give me a hot dog.
GROVER: Fine, OK.
Let me readjust my hot dog here.
OK.
Now, you wanted-- let me refresh my memory.
You wanted, um, well-done.
You wanted mustard?
With or without mustard?
MR. JOHNSON: With.
With.
GROVER: Yeah, right.
And may I recommend a bun, sir?
[BAT HITTING BALL]
MR. JOHNSON: Look, here's another one.
FAN: Oh, I got it!
Oh, I got it!
Oh, I--
GROVER: Oh no, watch out!
Watch out!
FAN: I got it!
In your face!
[LAUGHTER]
MR. JOHNSON: Aw.
You did it again.
I was going to catch the ball, and you jumped on me.
GROVER: With all due respect, sir, perhaps you were not
going to catch the ball.
Perhaps the ball was going to hit you in your big pink nose.
MR. JOHNSON: The ball was not going to hit me
in my big pink nose.
I was going to catch it in my glove.
I was finally going to get a foul ball.
GROVER: Why should we argue, sir?
I am here to serve you.
MR. JOHNSON: Well then, would you please serve me a hot dog,
and go away?
GROVER: Yes, that is what I do best.
One hot dog coming up, sir.
Was that with mustard?
I forgot.
MR. JOHNSON: Yes!
GROVER: Oh, OK, fine.
And would you like a bun?
MR. JOHNSON: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
GROVER: OK, fine.
And oh, how about a napkin?
[BAT HITTING BALL]
GROVER: I recommend a napkin because--
MR. JOHNSON: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here comes another one!
I got it!
GROVER: Sir, watch out!
Baseball coming!
Watch out!
FAN: I got it!
I got it!
Yeah, baby!
Whoo!
GROVER: Oh.
Oh.
Ooh, another close call, huh, sir?
MR. JOHNSON: Right.
Listen to me.
GROVER: You know, that ball--
MR. JOHNSON: No, no, don't talk, listen.
If you don't listen, you won't hear what I'm going to say,
and I want you to hear it loud and clear.
GROVER: But sir--
MR. JOHNSON: I said, listen.
GROVER: I'm all ears.
MR. JOHNSON: Right.
Do you know what my dream was when I came here to this
ballgame today?
GROVER: What?
MR. JOHNSON: That I would catch a foul ball.
Have I caught one?
No!
Because each time a ball comes near me, you
jump on top of me!
GROVER: Sir--
MR. JOHNSON: Listen!
So here's what we're going to do.
You're going to take your hot dogs, and you're going to get
as far away from me as possible.
[BAT HITTING BALL]
MR. JOHNSON: Why?
So just in case another ball is hit to me--
GROVER: Sir?
Sir?
MR. JOHNSON: Listen!
GROVER: Sir?
Sir?
MR. JOHNSON: Just in case another ball
is hit to me, maybe--
I said, just maybe--
I could--
GROVER: Huh?
I caught the ball!
I caught a foul ball.
I caught a foul ball!
Look, sir, a foul ball!
Are you listening, sir?
Are you listening?
I, Grover, caught a foul ball!
Are you listening?
A foul ball!
Yes!
Hot dogs on the house!
FAN: All right, everybody!
Whoo!
