  • All right. This is fascinating...

  • ...but you don't have the money to bring the mortgage up to date.

  • So, you're still going to have to sell.

  • I'm sorry, Ray. We got no choice.

  • People will come, Ray.

  • They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom.

  • They'll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it.

  • They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children...

  • ...longing for the past.

  • "Of course, we won't mind if you look around," you'll say.

  • "It's only $20 per person."

  • They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it.

  • For it is money they have and peace they like.

  • Ray! Just sign the papers.

  • Then they'll walk off to the bleachers...

  • ...and sit in their shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon.

  • They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines...

  • ...where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes...

  • ...and they'll watch the game...

  • ...and it will be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters.

  • The memories will be so thick...

  • ...they'll have to brush them away from their faces.

  • When the bank opens in the morning, they'll foreclose.

  • People will come, Ray.

  • You're broke, Ray. You sell now, or you lose everything.

  • The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball.

  • America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers.

  • It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again.

  • But baseball has marked the time.

  • This field, this game.

  • It's a part of our past, Ray.

  • It reminds us of all that once was good...

  • ...and it could be again.

  • People will come, Ray.

  • People will most definitely come.

  • Ray, you will lose everything.

  • You will be evicted.

  • Come on, Ray.

  • I'm not signing.

All right. This is fascinating...
