Scenes with Dottie

3 scenes
[Ernie sees Dottie and Kit milking cows]

Ow. Doesn't that hurt them?

Dottie

Doesn't seem to.

Well, it would bruise the hell out of me.

Dottie Hinson

Who are you?

I'm Ernie Capadino and I'm a baseball scout. I saw you playing today. Not bad, not bad. You ever heard of Walter Harvey, makes Harvey bars - you know, the candy?

Dottie

Yeah. We feed them to the cows when they're constipated.

That's the guy. He's starting a girls' baseball league, so he can make a buck while the boys are overseas. Wanna play?

Dottie

Huh?

Nice retort. Tryouts are in Chicago. It's a real league, professional.

Kit

Professional baseball?

Mmm-hmm. They'll pay you 75 dollars a week.

Kit

We only make 30 at the dairy.

Well then, this would be more, wouldn't it?

Kit
[Trying to convince Dottie to try out for the league so she can as well]

Come on, Dottie. You've got the whole rest of your life to hang around here. Never go anywhere, never do anything...

Dottie

Look, I'm married, I'm happy. That's what I want, so let's not confuse things.

Kit

Okay...But can't you just have this first? Just so you can say you once did something? Something special? Huh?

Mrs. Keller

For goodness sake, Kit! Keep your voice down! Your father's listening to the radio!

Kit

Please, Dottie. I gotta get outta here...I'm nothing here.

[opposing team's rallying in the 9th inning, Jimmy and Dottie walk out to the mound to Kit]

Game's getting pretty exciting.

Kit

I'll end it, right here. I'll strike this turkey out.

Well, we got "Betti Spaghetti" all ready to come in.

Kit

Come on, coach. I've never been pulled before. Ask Dottie. Just let me finish this one...please.

[to Dottie]

Well, what do you think?

Dottie

Well, she's, uh...she's battling.

[more sharply]

What do you think?

Dottie

...She's done. She's throwing grapefruits out there. [to Kit] I'm sorry.

[To the umpire, signaling a switch]

Blue!
[Kit, with a look of shock and anger, slams the ball in Dottie's chest before walking off the mound]
