""Pertwee's tiring, but the Robins have no one else." ""They've emptied the bull pen..."" "Come on, come on, you can get this guy." ""That's foul, but it certainly had the range." ""These fans are on the edge of their seats, and I am, too."" " Will the Robins win, Peter?" " "I don't know, honey."" "Honey, you awake?" "Peter?" "Did you say something?" ""Pitcher goes to the set." ""This is the world series, and everything..."" "Where's Johnny today, Todd?" "I don't know." "I have no idea, man." "I mean, he was here earlier,but..." "You know that Earl Candleton lives in Lewiston now, don't you?" "You know he came in here one time with heart problems." ""Error" Candleton..." "If not for him, the Robins would've won in '87." " "Okay, Pertwee's ready..."" " You guys listening to the game?" ""And fires ball three."" "Let's see what you've got." "What's a game without a Ewski?" ""The crowd doesn't like it."" "Baseball is a sad game." " Is it?" " Yes... a sad game played by sad men." "One of them lived near here." "He'll be here soon." ""Pertwee goes to the rosin bag."" "Come on, come on." "Come on, throw it in there, busher." "Throw it in there." "Chuck the pill." " Chuck it." " "...sweat from his forehead."" ""He's really taking his time out there."" "I'll tell you what." ""Well, it looks like Pertwee's almost ready for another big pitch."" "A walk or hit, and I go out like a billionaire." "Get him out," "I wait a while." ""The tension's so thick, you could cut it with a knife." ""This is a big moment." ""The Robins are one strike away from their first series title since 1918." ""The tension is so thick, you could cut it with a knife." ""Yeah, this is a big spot for the Robins, all right." ""Stee-rike!" ""Earl Candleton is guarding the line at first." ""He hasn't made an error in the entire series." "King to the set." ""The whole Robins' bench is on their feet, ready to celebrate." ""Champagne on ice in the Robins' clubhouse."

" "a lazy fly ball"." " I've got it!" ""This should be it." ""And Candleton dropped it." ""Unbelievable!" "Candleton dropped the ball." ""These disappointed fans are really letting Candleton have it." ""I wouldn't want to be in his shoes after the game."" " "Pertwee throws." "Is it ball four?" " No, it's strike three." ""Strike three called, but here Henreid, the Cards' most dangerous hitter." "He stands in."" "Hey, Candleton, you busher, you louse, you bum, you rat bastard!" "Yeah, toss him a ball, he'll drop it." "You bum." "Loser!" "Candleton, catch this." "Down!" "Who threw that?" "Come on out of there." "Come on!" "Well?" "Are you going to help me up, or not?" "You are a butterfingers." "Sure, I've..." "I've had some adversity... in my life." "I..." "I committed an error in a crucial game situation... but you know what?" "That's over." "The question becomes," " "What do you do after?"" " Catch, butterfingers." "Yeah, and there's been... a fair amount of that, too," " but listen..." " Catch this one." "Here, that's enough of that." "This man is a famous baseball player!" ""Henreid hits a long fly ball to left." ""It's going, going." "It's..." ""It's... foul by inches." ""The crowd settles back, and we'll have to do it all again."" "We'll have to do it all again... have to do it all again... have to do it again." "Hey." "Hey." "You're the guy who dropped the ball in '87, ain't you?" "Hey, guys,... this is the guy that lost the Robins the World Series in '87." ""Take me out to the ball game" ""take me out to the crowd" ""buy me some peanuts and cracker jack" ""I don't care if I ever get back for it's root," ""root, root, for the home team" ""if they don't win it's a shame..." ""Pertwee to the set." ""He pitches," ""and Henreid swings."" "Oh, no!" ""It's a long, high drive." "If it stays fair..."" " Will it stay fair?" " It will stay fair, and fair is foul." ""... home run!" ""The Cardinals beat the Robins and win the series." ""I don't know, the Robins just seem to be cursed, ever since '87," ""when first baseman Earl Candleton let his easy pop fly drop." ""This place is stunned to silence." ""You'd think somebody died."" ""Robins led early, and they led late," ""but in a repeat of a Stephen King-like horror story," ""New England baseball fans have come to know all too well..."" "Brenda, honey, I've been looking all over for you." "Is everybody in this godforsaken town seduced by this stupid game?" "I had to pump my own gas." "I never had to pump my own gas in Boston." "It's an idiocy." "Are you going to turn around and look at me?" "Oh, not you, too." "I don't believe it." "You're crying over a game made by and for morons?" "Say it ain't so, Joe." "Of course not, Steg." "It's just..." "I was thinking that you decided not to go to Salem after all." " Sam, witchcraft, and voodoo." "That's idiocy." " See?" "I knew it." "But... on the other hand, yeah, but..." "from a sociological standpoint, there.." "there is undoubtedly a lot to investigate there." " Do you really think so?" " Well, I mean,... how can one recognize idiocy without studying idiocy?" "That's so true." "In fact, I..." "I put some pamphlets in your desk drawer, and they show any number of" " of attractions and points of interest." " Oh, it's fascinating." "I didn't think I'd find you so receptive." "Here, look, this one, it talks about... craft fairs in the area, and..." " and flea markets." " There might be... a few things of moderate interest there." "Better than baseball, certainly." "Who cares about baseball?" "Drat it." "I think that the Robins really are cursed." "I mean, they always seem to..." "Something's wrong." "There's a disturbance in the swedenborgian flow." ""Mr. Candleton."" ""This has got to take Robins' fans back to when Earl Candleton,..."" " Mr. Candleton, are you all right?" " "...'87 series." ""I think we've got a clip cued up." "Let's replay it."" " The ballplayer is lost." " Lost?" "Lost between." "Someone dropped the ball." "Hang on." "What the hell are you doing?" "Oh, well." " How's he doing?" " Not too bad, actually." "BP's 105 over 60 and steady." "Heart-rate's about 80." "Oh, my God." "I know why he did it." "This is Earl Candleton." "He played first base for the Robins." "He lost the series for them in '87." "This was no error today." "This was on purpose." ""Dr. Stegman and Dr. Hook to O.R. One." " "Dr. Massingale, Dr. Stegman..."" " Come back soon, dear." "We have a lot to plan." ""Doctors Stegman, Hook, and Massingale to O.R. One." "Stat."" "Series is over, anyway." "Now... we wait for winter." "Say, anybody seen Blondi?" "Man, I can't believe it..." "Earl Candleton." "You know, me and my brother, we had a ceremonial burning of his baseball card when we were..." "I don't know, eight years old." "Could you help me a little?" "I mean..." "if you don't mind?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "It's "Error" Candleton, man." "Give the guy a break." "Here you are." "Do you want me to lose my job?" "Do you want to lose your life?" "What I want is a T-Bone, rare." "Hold the portobello." "Dr. Stegman, this is maybe the most famous or infamous ballplayer in New England." "He shot himself, and he's right here in our operating room." "Well, I don't care if he's Saddam Hussein." "I can't open his nut if he's not prepped." "What have we got?" "Dr. Hook." "I see the incompetency curve is still rising." "GSW to the head, no exit wound, but the bullet bounced around a lot." "Respirations 16, BP pulse, O2 sat, all within normal limits." "A little tachy." " These are the photos?" " I've seen the CT scans." "I can lead if we can prep this man before december." "Earl Candleton, wow!" " I guess the frustration finally got to him ?" " Do you mind if we operate today?" "All right, boys, let's get number 11 ready for the big game, shall we?" "Yeah, he can autograph that for you if he ever wakes up." "Okay, I'm late for dinner." "Would you close him up?" "I hear Mrs. Klingerman is in the house." "Maybe you can stop by and give her an update on Mona's progress." "Close him up." ""Error" Candleton, right here in front of us." "This is unreal." "You know, Otto claims he was in here once before." "Maybe you haven't made errors of your own yet, but you will... and when you do, you'll want mercy." " Hey, it's just what everybody calls him." " Not in front of me." "Look, his eyes are moving." "He could be dreaming." "That much trauma, and still producing R.E.M?" "Hook, I'd really like some pictures of that." "Can I stop by MRI for some functional scans?" "For now, his dreams are nobody's business but his own." "He's going to ICU." "Could we all get back to work, please?" ""Butterfingers." ""Candleton, you suck." ""Hey, busher."" "Where am I?" ""You couldn't catch a bus." " "You let the whole team down"." " "You suck"." ""You suck!" ""Get the hell out of here!""

"Nurse, you need to go get Dr. Hook." "There's something wrong with my husband." "What's wrong, Mary?" "What is it?" "Come with me." "I'll show you." ""Yes."" ""Yes."" "Okay, let's go." "You took every gram of metal off yourself out there?" "Pens, keys, stethoscope, hemostats?" "Everything except my jumbo titanium penile prosthesis." "This is a three-tesla machine..." "extremely powerful magnetic fields." "You bring metal in here, it gets sucked into the magnet core." " I'm not sure this is a good idea." " Nonsense." "You were the one who spotted R.E.M. And brought it to my attention." " Yeah, but Hook said..." " He said, "Don't bring him into the sleep lab."" "Nobody said anything about stopping by radiology for an F-MRI." " Yes, but..." " Elmer..." "Elmer..." "How many times do research opportunities knock?" "Once, but..." "What do you want me to do?" "I'm going to open a share on the scanning networks so that we can capture and transfer the images down to the sleep lab." "Sonny is in with an MRI tech setting up." " Why don't you be a nice boy and help him out?" " If I'm a nice boy,... will you be a naughty girl?" "Maybe." "I'm not sure you should be seeing this." "Don't be silly." "We have to help him while we still can." "I don't understand." "Help him how?" "I've warned Mrs. Druse, too." "She's coming." "Hook's on the floor." "I just saw him going into the presidential suite." "You can't." "You can't scan this man's brain while he's away." "The little girl told me that" " he's lost in swedenborgian space." " "Swedenborgian" what?" "She'll stop them." "She has to." "I don't know, Mrs. D. is not exactly a doctor." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Druse, you are not a doctor." "This is an MRI scanning room." "You'll have to leave." "The magnetic field, the radio wave pulses, they can trap this man for eternity between here and the hereafter." "You cannot do this." "Mrs. Druse, a patient so ill wandering around radiology?" "Dr. Stegman, this woman is about to do something that..." "Do something?" "Really?" "It's interesting." ""Getting ready to do something."" " What might that be?" " You sarcastic son of a bitch." "This magnetic scan can condemn this man for eternity to swedenborgian space." "Swedenborgian space?" "Really?" "Who told you that?" "Mary, the ghost girl..." "And there's someone else trapped on the other side with her..." " Yeah?" " A doctor." " A bad one like you." " A bad one just like me?" "Gottreich." "This is all fascinating." "I'm sorry, you're clearly much more ill than we thought." "I guess the nerve damage has reached your brain." "Take her back to her room before this I.V. runs out and tie her down if she shows any further propensity to wander." "You wouldn't want that nosy little nose of yours cut off, now, would you?" "Please." "Listen to me." " You can't let this happen." "It must not." " Yeah, all right." " Please, please, don't do this." " Come on, Sally, come." " Please, don't." " Sally, come on, come on." " I'll talk to Dr. Hook..." " Okay." " And he'll understand, and he will help me." " Alrighty." "Dr. Massingale, this is your authorization to obtain functional scans of Mr. Candleton's nut, pending revocation of next of kin, which Mr. Candleton does not seem to have." "Thank you, Doctor." "You're going to lock him forever into whatever nightmare that he's having." " Maybe it's a good dream." " Is it true?" "If they scan him now, can he get trapped in wherever he is?" " It's true." " Get her out of here." " Please, Dr. Stegman, don't do this." " Get her out of here, out of here now." "Dr. Massingale, carry on." "Thank you, Dr. Stegman." "Where is he?" "He's in the Old Kingdom... with Paul." "...Home team if they don't win it's a shame you missed the ball, and buddy, that's all at the old ball game..." "His vitals are fine." "This is what he drew." "Oh, Dr. Hook." "Dr. Hook, you have got to help that gunshot victim." "I think they said he's a baseball player." "Mama, if Stegman finds out I didn't take you right back to your room..." " What about the baseball player?" " He is in between lands." "He's in swedenborgian space." "That sleep lab woman, she doesn't know what she's doing." "If she blasts his brain with a magnetic field, well, then, he could be trapped there forever." "Is this him?" "Well..." "I..." "Okay." "Okay." "Yes." "Yes, but Peter isn't the only one that's trying to help him." "The little girl, Mary knows..." "Peter," " we have to go." " Wait." "Just a little longer." "And she has a friend named..." "Antubis." " Anubis?" " Well, I'm hearing Antubis, but... what does it matter?" "The man is in danger of losing his soul." "That's what matters, and, Dr. Hook, you've got to stop them from doing what it is they're planning to do." "Peter, please." "Let's go for it." "There's something wrong with lead number four." "Sonny, get me another electrode net." "Elmer, assist me, please." "Earl Candleton." "Previous admissions?" "All right, the patient I.D. starts with 91, so that tells us he was admitted for treatment back in 1991." "There he is." "August '91." "Bingo!" "What is this place?" "The old hospital, but it's also the door to the in-between lands." "Come on." "Where's ant-boy?" "He doesn't like it here." "I don't blame him." "Get out!" "Get away from him, both of you!" "He's mine!" "He can't hurt us." "He has to spend time in the tank... to recharge, I think... but when he's in there, he's much less powerful." "Mr. Candleton?" "Is that your name?" "It's time to go." "Leave me alone." "I thought I was in hell before, but this is hell... and nobody wants to help me." "Give it up, sweetheart." "They'll scan him, and he'll be Gottreich's assistant before you can say "Lou Gehrig."" "I advise you to skip directly to time 37'12" because of a promo clip for Alias 3x21 !" "Do me a favor." "Go in there and re-center his head." "It's slipping off the mold." "Ferromagnetic interference." "I've got to shut down the field." " He's got metal inside the core." " For the love of..." "Elmer, do I have to do everything myself around here?" " There'll be no MRI for Mr. Candleton." " No, it's just a matter of... when there be an MRI, Hook." "I have an order from Stegman." "Well, then, maybe you'd like to be a co-defendant in Stegman's next lawsuit." "Pacemaker, 1991." "How can that be?" "We would have seen it on the monitor during surgery." "Tachycardia." "The pacemaker kicks in at 60." "He never got below 80." "Look at me, Earl." "Look at me." "Look at me, number 11." "Is there any way out of here?" "What are you going to do?" "Take you away." "Help me." "Is this still between-time?" "This is stop-time." "Now it starts again,... and whatever happens... is up to him." ""And King deals." ""It's a hit to Candleton...""
