00:00:21.927 --> 00:00:23.861
We are organizing a baseball team

00:00:23.861 --> 00:00:25.793

00:00:25.793 --> 00:00:27.945
I am the manager. Now...

00:00:27.945 --> 00:00:29.712
You're going to be the manager

00:00:29.712 --> 00:00:31.161

00:00:33.629 --> 00:00:34.493
Oh, you would?

00:00:34.493 --> 00:00:35.594
I would like to know
some of the guys' names

00:00:35.594 --> 00:00:37.360
on the team, so if I want to
play with them, I know them.

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:39.275
If I meet them on the street,
I can say "Hello" to them.

00:00:39.275 --> 00:00:40.428
Oh. Sure.

00:00:40.428 --> 00:00:42.510
But you know, they give baseball
players nowadays,

00:00:42.510 --> 00:00:43.828
very peculiar names.

00:00:43.828 --> 00:00:44.977
Oh? A lot of funny names.

00:00:44.977 --> 00:00:46.511
You know, like "Stinky Fields."

00:00:46.511 --> 00:00:48.211
"Goofy Dan."

00:00:48.211 --> 00:00:49.561

00:00:49.561 --> 00:00:50.792

00:02:51.494 --> 00:02:52.245
Naturally.

00:02:52.245 --> 00:02:52.978

00:02:54.612 --> 00:02:57.427

00:02:57.427 --> 00:02:58.829
I just thought I'd ask.

00:02:58.829 --> 00:03:00.345
I thought I'd tell you.

You don't seem to understand.

00:03:21.112 --> 00:03:23.230
See, I have a first baseman...

00:03:23.230 --> 00:03:27.645
I know. I asked what's
the first baseman's name?

00:03:27.645 --> 00:03:29.146
No. "What" is the 
second baseman's name.

00:03:29.146 --> 00:03:31.912
I asked you: What is the 
first baseman's name?

00:03:31.912 --> 00:03:33.162
"What" is the second 
baseman's name.

00:03:33.162 --> 00:03:34.162

the first...

00:03:34.162 --> 00:03:35.863
All right. Who is on second?

00:03:35.863 --> 00:03:36.978

00:03:42.428 --> 00:03:43.465
Okay. [Splutters]

00:03:43.465 --> 00:03:45.365

All right. You got a first baseman.

00:03:46.546 --> 00:03:47.129
Yes.

00:03:47.129 --> 00:03:48.247
When you pay the first baseman
every month,

00:03:48.247 --> 00:03:48.995
who gets the money?

00:03:48.995 --> 00:03:50.511
Every dollar of it.

00:03:50.511 --> 00:03:53.378
Who gets it?

00:03:53.378 --> 00:03:54.481
He does.

00:03:54.481 --> 00:03:57.713
Sometimes, his wife comes down,
and collects it.

00:03:57.713 --> 00:03:58.462
Whose wife?

00:03:58.462 --> 00:04:01.112
Yes.

00:04:01.112 --> 00:04:03.730
Why not, Lou? He's earned it.

00:04:03.730 --> 00:04:04.362
Who did?

00:04:04.362 --> 00:04:06.213
Yes.

00:04:06.213 --> 00:04:09.113
When you pay the first baseman
every month,

00:04:09.113 --> 00:04:10.646
you get a receipt from the guy?

00:04:10.646 --> 00:04:11.347
Sure.

00:04:11.347 --> 00:04:11.795
How does he sign his name?

00:04:11.795 --> 00:04:12.397

00:04:12.397 --> 00:04:12.879

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:13.447
"Who."

00:04:13.447 --> 00:04:15.214

00:04:15.214 --> 00:04:16.396
Well, that's how he signs it, Lou.

00:04:16.396 --> 00:04:17.180
That's how who signs it?

00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:17.714

00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:18.495
Go on and tell me.

00:04:18.495 --> 00:04:19.047
That's it.

00:04:19.047 --> 00:04:19.964
Who?

00:04:19.964 --> 00:04:21.463
Right.

00:04:21.463 --> 00:04:23.131
Look: You go to the first baseman.

00:04:23.131 --> 00:04:23.847
Yes.

00:04:23.847 --> 00:04:25.864
You tell him: "Here is your money.
Sign the receipt."

00:04:25.864 --> 00:04:27.298
How does he sign his name?

00:04:27.298 --> 00:04:27.930
"Who."

00:04:27.930 --> 00:04:28.997
The guy you give the money to.

00:04:28.997 --> 00:04:29.945

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:33.845
Sure.

00:04:33.845 --> 00:04:34.813
He... [Splutters]

00:04:34.813 --> 00:04:36.196
You gotta get a receipt, don't you?

00:04:36.196 --> 00:04:37.296
I get one, Lou.

00:04:37.296 --> 00:04:38.830
How does the guy on first base
sign his name?

00:04:38.830 --> 00:04:39.814
"WHO."

00:04:39.814 --> 00:04:40.529
The guy on first.

00:04:40.529 --> 00:04:41.312
That's how he signs it.

00:04:41.312 --> 00:04:44.347
I'm asking you: What's the 
guy's name you give the money to?

00:04:44.347 --> 00:04:46.264
No, wait. "What" signs his own.

00:04:46.264 --> 00:04:47.047
Who signs his own?

00:04:47.047 --> 00:04:48.563
No, "Who" signs his.

00:04:48.563 --> 00:04:51.981
What's the guy's name on first...

00:04:51.981 --> 00:04:54.114
"What" is on second base.

00:04:54.114 --> 00:04:55.548
I'm not asking you who is on second.

00:04:55.548 --> 00:04:56.580
"Who" is on first.

00:04:56.580 --> 00:04:57.147
I don't know.

00:04:57.147 --> 00:05:00.830
[Both] Third base.

00:05:00.830 --> 00:05:02.548
[Laughter]

00:05:02.548 --> 00:05:03.563
The left fielder's name, 
the center fielder...

00:05:03.563 --> 00:05:04.831
You got a pitcher on the team?

00:05:04.831 --> 00:05:05.746
It would be a fine team
without a pitcher.

00:05:05.746 --> 00:05:06.646
It's a fine team anyway.

00:05:06.646 --> 00:05:07.530
The pitcher's name?

00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:09.015
"Tomorrow."

00:05:09.015 --> 00:05:09.881
Eh.

00:05:09.881 --> 00:05:11.164
I can't change their names!

00:05:11.164 --> 00:05:14.463
You don't want to tell me the name?

00:05:14.463 --> 00:05:15.198
I'm telling you.

00:05:15.198 --> 00:05:15.465
Go ahead. Tell me the pitcher's name.

00:05:15.465 --> 00:05:17.547
"Tomorrow."

00:05:17.547 --> 00:05:20.098
Why not tell me today?!
I don't want to wait til tomorrow!

00:05:20.098 --> 00:05:21.146
I'm telling you now.

00:05:21.146 --> 00:05:22.015
Tell me the pitcher's name.

00:05:22.015 --> 00:05:23.297
"Tomorrow!"

00:05:23.297 --> 00:05:24.882
All right. What time tomorrow
will you tell me the pitcher's name?

00:05:24.882 --> 00:05:26.115
What time, what?

00:05:26.115 --> 00:05:27.981
What time tomorrow will you
tell me who is pitching?

00:05:27.981 --> 00:05:29.098
"Who" is not pitching.

00:05:29.098 --> 00:05:31.679
I'll break your arm!

00:05:31.679 --> 00:05:33.498
I want to know what 
is the pitcher's name.

00:05:33.498 --> 00:05:34.382
"What" is on second.

00:05:34.382 --> 00:05:34.848
I don't know.

00:05:34.848 --> 00:05:38.113
Third base! Third base!
Third base.

00:05:38.113 --> 00:05:39.199
You got a catcher?

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.731
Certainly, you have a catcher
on a baseball team.

00:05:41.731 --> 00:05:42.647
Catcher's name?

00:05:42.647 --> 00:05:43.198
"Today."

00:05:43.198 --> 00:05:45.132
Today. Tomorrow is pitching.
Today is catching.

00:05:45.132 --> 00:05:45.966
Now you've got it!

00:05:45.966 --> 00:05:46.913
Now I got it?

00:05:46.913 --> 00:05:48.433
All I got: We got a couple of 
days on the team.

00:05:48.433 --> 00:05:50.148
I can't help that, Lou.
I don't name them.

00:05:50.148 --> 00:05:51.631
I'm a pretty good catcher, myself.

00:05:51.631 --> 00:05:52.482
So they tell me.

00:05:52.482 --> 00:05:54.399
When I get behind the plate,
I'm going to do some catching.

00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:55.965
Tomorrow is pitching
on my team, right?

00:05:55.965 --> 00:05:56.698
Yeah.

00:05:56.698 --> 00:05:57.731
Now Tomorrow, he winds up
the ball.

00:05:57.731 --> 00:05:58.931
I'm behind the plate, 
and a heavy hitter gets up.

00:05:58.931 --> 00:06:00.648
Now the heavy hitter 
is ready to hit the ball.

00:06:00.648 --> 00:06:01.867
Tomorrow is going to
throw the ball,

00:06:01.867 --> 00:06:02.716
and I'm the catcher.

00:06:02.716 --> 00:06:04.216
Tomorrow throws, 
the guy bunts the ball.

00:06:04.216 --> 00:06:05.881
Now, when he bunts the ball,

00:06:05.881 --> 00:06:07.399
me, being a good catcher,
I'm going to throw the guy out

00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:08.447
on first base.

00:06:08.447 --> 00:06:09.514
So, I pick up the ball,
and throw it to who?

00:06:09.514 --> 00:06:11.166
Now, that's the first thing
you've said right.

00:06:11.166 --> 00:06:13.400
I don't even know
what I'm talking about!

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:15.449
Well, that's all you have to do!

00:06:15.449 --> 00:06:16.798
If I throw the ball to first base...

00:06:16.798 --> 00:06:17.599
who has got it?

00:06:17.599 --> 00:06:18.697
Naturally!

00:06:18.697 --> 00:06:20.300
Sure. [Splutters]

00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:22.183
The guy is running to first base,

00:06:22.183 --> 00:06:23.681
and I want to throw the guy out.

00:06:23.681 --> 00:06:24.266
So?

00:06:24.266 --> 00:06:25.248
So I throw the ball to who?

00:06:25.248 --> 00:06:26.196
Naturally.

00:06:26.196 --> 00:06:27.649
Throw it to who?

00:06:27.649 --> 00:06:29.016
Naturally.

00:06:29.016 --> 00:06:29.733
And who has got it?

00:06:29.733 --> 00:06:30.648
Naturally.

00:06:30.648 --> 00:06:31.397
Huh.

00:06:31.397 --> 00:06:32.983
So I pick up the ball, and I throw it to
"Naturally."

00:06:32.983 --> 00:06:35.614
No, no! Wait.

00:06:35.614 --> 00:06:37.749
You throw the ball to first base.
Then "Who" gets it.

00:06:37.749 --> 00:06:38.599
Naturally.

00:06:38.599 --> 00:06:39.532
That's right.

00:06:39.532 --> 00:06:42.183
I pick up the ball.
So I throw it to "Naturally."

00:06:42.183 --> 00:06:43.265
No!

00:06:43.265 --> 00:06:44.183
I throw it to who?

00:06:44.183 --> 00:06:44.882
Naturally.

00:06:44.882 --> 00:06:46.283
That's what I'm saying!!

00:06:46.283 --> 00:06:47.816
You're not saying that.

00:06:47.816 --> 00:06:48.831
I said throw the ball to who?

00:06:48.831 --> 00:06:49.514
Naturally.

00:06:49.514 --> 00:06:50.265
You ask me.

00:06:50.265 --> 00:06:51.065
Throw the ball to who?

00:06:51.065 --> 00:06:51.715
"Naturally."

00:06:51.715 --> 00:06:52.501
That's it.

00:06:52.501 --> 00:06:53.098
Same as you!

00:06:53.098 --> 00:06:53.733
Pay attention.

00:06:53.733 --> 00:06:54.648
I throw the ball. To "Naturally."

00:06:54.648 --> 00:06:55.616
You don't. You throw the ball
to "Who."

00:06:55.616 --> 00:06:56.349
Now who has got it?

00:06:56.349 --> 00:06:57.366
[Both] Naturally.

00:06:57.366 --> 00:06:58.415
That's what I said!

00:06:58.415 --> 00:06:59.199
All right.

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.314
Whoever it is, better get it!

00:07:00.314 --> 00:07:01.330
He'll get it.

00:07:01.330 --> 00:07:02.914
Don't worry about "Who."
"Who" will get it.

00:07:02.914 --> 00:07:04.213
He better get it.

00:07:04.213 --> 00:07:05.365
Now, I throw the ball to who.

00:07:05.365 --> 00:07:07.064
Whoever it is, drops the ball.
The guy runs to second.

00:07:07.064 --> 00:07:08.664
Who picks up the ball, and 
throws to what.

00:07:08.664 --> 00:07:09.749
What throws the ball to I don't know.

00:07:09.749 --> 00:07:10.965
I don't know throws back to tomorrow.

00:07:10.965 --> 00:07:11.948
Triple play.

00:07:11.948 --> 00:07:12.599
Could be.

00:07:12.599 --> 00:07:13.482
Another guy gets up,

00:07:13.482 --> 00:07:15.497
and it's a long, fly ball to because.

00:07:15.497 --> 00:07:16.715
Why?

00:07:16.715 --> 00:07:20.715
I don't know. He's on third. 
And I don't give a darn!

00:07:20.715 --> 00:07:21.548
What?

00:07:21.548 --> 00:07:23.266
I said "I don't give a darn!"

00:07:23.266 --> 00:07:25.331
Ohhhh! That's our shortstop.

00:07:25.331 --> 00:07:27.015
[Splutters]

00:07:27.015 --> 00:07:29.066
[Laughter. Applause]

00:07:29.066 --> 00:07:37.249
[Circus music]
