JUST LOU : (seated in front of the Don Cardi's desk) I believe in Baseball. Baseball has made me happy. And I rooted for the Mets in the New York fashion. I gave them my heart, but -- I hoped that they would never dishonor their fans. They found a manager; not an Italian. They went to the spring training with him; they practiced till late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, the Mets decided to start a drive, running a lottery for playoff tickets. They made me enter my name. Two friends entered their names. They offered a deal. At first I resisted. But then I kept my honor and agreed to their deal for game 7. And then those two friends took advantage of me. My friends took all of the tickets. It hurt me. They treated my like an animal. I couldn't even weep because of the pain inside. I stood in the stadium parking lot like a fool. like a fool. And those two bastard, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, "The next time we have tickets, we must offer them to Don Cardi."
DON CARDI :Just Lou... Just Lou... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Had you come to me in friendship, offered me this kind of a deal, then this scum that ruined game 7 for you would be in their living rooms watching the game this very day. And that by chance if an honest man such as yourself should get 4 tickets, then two of them would become my tickets. And then the Cardinals would fear us. But that aside, let me say, from the bottom of my heart ....
