We missed four innings.
:01:07
Well, like l said, l had to stop
and do some business. Here. Sit down.

:01:12
Hey, you usher,
can l talk to you a second?

:01:15
Yes, sir.
:01:21
Gil, this is Stan.
He´s gonna watch you for a while.

:01:24
l have some friends l´m meeting.
l´ll be back for the ninth inning.

:01:27
- Have fun, kid.
- Get your programs!

:01:37
- So, Gilly, big baseball fan?
- Kind of.

:01:41
Dad bring you here a lot?
:01:44
Once a year on my birthday.
Then he pays an usher to watch me.

:01:49
Oh, l see.
:01:53
You have to understand,
my father in his own childhood...

:01:58
was without a positive
male influence.

:02:01
Huh?
:02:03
His own father kicked him out
when he was 15...

:02:06
so my dad was taught to see
child raising as a burden--

:02:10
a prison rather than a playground.
:02:16
You understand what l´m saying?
:02:18
- You don´t talk like a kid.
- Well, l´m not really a kid.

:02:21
- You´re not a duck.
- l´m remembering when l was a kid.

:02:24
l´m 35 now.
l have kids of my own.

:02:29
You don´t really even exist.
:02:32
- You´re an amalgam.
- A what?

:02:36
A combination of several ushers
my dad left me with over the years.

:02:41
- l combined them into one memory.
- Why?

:02:45
This was a great
symbolic moment in my life.

:02:48
My father dumping me with you.
:02:50
lt´s why l swore things would be
different with my kids.

:02:54
lt´s my dream--
strong, happy, confident kids.

:02:59
That´s great.
