MARVIN, TRINA, MENDEL, CHARLOTTE, CORDELIA

We're sitting

And watching Jason play baseball

We're watching Jason play baseball!

We're watching Jewish boys

Who cannot play baseball, play baseball!

We're watching Jewish boys

Who cannot play baseball play-

MARVIN

I hate baseball, I really do!

Unlike the rest of you

I hate baseball!

CHARLOTTE AND CORDELIA

We really wish he'd take this more seriously!

MENDEL

It's weird how he swings the bat!

MARVIN

It's weird how he swings the bat

And why does he have to throw like that?

MARVIN, TRINA, MENDEL, CHARLOTTE, CORDELIA

We're sitting

And watching Jason make errors

The most pathetical errors!

We're watching Jewish boys

Who almost read Latin

Up, battin'

And battin' bad!

MENDEL

Remember Sandy Koufax!

You can do it if you wanna do it!

Take heart from Hank Greenberg!

It's not genetic

Even you can be copacetic!

I think, I think

I think you can, I think you can!

MARVIN, TRINA, MENDEL, CHARLOTTE, CORDELIA

We're sitting

And watching Jason play baseball

We're watching Jason play baseball!

We're watching Jewish boys

We're watching Jewish boys

We're watching-

Slide, Jason

Slide, Jason!

Slide!

(Whizzer enters)

MARVIN

What is he doing here?

TRINA

What are you doing here?

WHIZZER

Jason asked me to come

Since he asked me to come, I came

TRINA

Just what I wanted at a Little League game

My ex-husband's ex-lover!

Isn't that what every mother dreams about

Having at a Little League game?

MENDEL
