Jeff and Ginger fight after a radio show (from "The Traveling Lemo All Stars")

Special thanks to Denise for sending me this transcript!!

(Arthur and Jeff are standing around after the game. We hear Ginger beginning the radio show.)

Ginger: And now it's time to interview the most valuable player of the day. Jeffrey Metcalf...will you join us please.

(Applause. Jeff looks around, seems surprised he won and then heads up to the microphone.)

Ginger: Well, Mr. Metcalf, how did it feel to play in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the oil capital of the world?

Jeff: I don't know, Miss Tomato, how would you feel if you lost 5-1 to a high school team?

Ginger (faces him, shocked by his response): But...but you hit that homer in the ninth yourself, which is probably because you drink Lemo tomato juice before you play.

Jeff: No...it was because the pitcher threw me a hanging curve ball.

Ginger (really getting annoyed): But Lemo tomato juice gave you the extra drive you needed to hit that ball over the fence.

Jeff: I wouldn't touch that stuff before a game -

Ginger (panicking): Oh, so what you're saying is the refreshing glass of Lemo tomato juice you drink in the morning carries you right through until the afternoon?

Jeff (slightly hostile): In the morning I drink orange juice -

(Laughter)

Ginger: Oh - ha, he's pulling my leg ladies and gentlemen. Not only do I know for a fact that he drinks it in the morning, but I-I hear tell he orders Lemo tomato juice when he's out on a date to show a woman he has her best interest at heart.

Jeff: I show a woman I've got her best interest at heart by buying her a juicy steak. (Ginger winces) Who would I impress if I bought Lemo? It's only a nickel a can. What would that prove...that I'm a cheapskate?

Ginger (swallowing hard): Speaking of little ladies, what does a strong baseball player like yourself look for in a woman? Don't tell me...let me guess. (Jeff looks annoyed) The woman of your dreams would have to drink Lemo tomato juice. I know I do. (Ginger's back in control now) It's the perfect drink for an eye-opening breakfast, a mid-day pick me up or a soothing nightcap. No matter what time of day you drink it, you'll always be satisfied because Lemo is made from only the ripest tomatoes. That's the secret of its success!

Jeff: It's a success because there's a half-naked woman on the can. (Laughter...Ginger is seething) People buy it for the picture, not the juice. Take the label off, it's just another can of tomatoes -

Ginger: Well, it's time to say goodbye to the great city of Tulsa because we promised the director of the asylum that we'd have Mr. Metcalf back in his padded cell by five. (Laughter...it's Jeff's turn to seethe) So tell your friends to come down and see the Lemo All-Stars and don't forget to drink Lemo! Bye now!

(Microphones cut off before Jeff can retaliate)

Ginger (on the verge of tears): How could you -

(Arthur comes forward, pushing Ginger out of the way and hits Jeff on the jaw, knocking him to the ground.)

Arthur: You son of a -

Jeff (rubbing his jaw): Mr. Schillab gets one demerit for profanity. (Stands up) Four more and you're kicked off the team, ya bastard.

(Jeff punches Arthur, knocking him down. Before he storms of he pauses briefly to glance at Ginger. The audience is laughing hysterically.)
