Richards: Well, do you ever watch the games and feel like you have control over the outcome?

Dr. Hall: I’d say that’s fairly common. Superstition and sports go hand in hand.

Richards: Yeah, but at the end of day, you know. You realize that whatever you do, it doesn’t really matter. But I can’t stop thinking…what if I’m wrong? What if I really have the power to change things?

Dr. Hall: Is that why you’re not wearing any clothes?

Richards: Yeah Doc. The more clothes I wear, the harder it is for us to score. I put on a sock, and the bombers hit a double. I take it off, and we strike out the side.

Dr. Hall: But it’s got to be less than thirty degrees outside. You’ll die of hypothermia.

Richards: I know. But if I cost us the first championship since 1918, then the entire city will have me in the electric chair. There’s no way out Doc. It’s heads you win, tails I lose.

Dr. Hall: Mr. Richards. No team has come back from a 3-0 deficit in the history of sports. So it’s my medical opinion that you should put on some pants.

Richards: But what if they lose? What if it’s all riding on me?

Dr. Hall: As a season ticket holder, if we lose, I promise you Mr. Richards, I’ll shoot you myself. But it won’t come to that. It just won’t.
