- Carolyn Muir: As far as I'm concerned, if you wanna play baseball that's fine, and if you don't that's fine, too. Now do you feel better?
- Jonathan Muir: Half of me feels better, but the other half that hits still feels terrible.
- Mrs. Shoemaker: Oh, doesn't Jonathan look cute in his sweatshirt.
- Carolyn Muir: Thank you.
- Mrs. Shoemaker: I admire the way he keeps trying to make the team, even though it's really not his game.
- [the Captain wants an explanation on why Jonathan's name isn't on Claymore's lineup sheet]
- Claymore Gregg: You see, actually Jonathan doesn't seem to have anything on the ball, especially the bat.
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: Now get in there and play ball.
- Jonathan Muir: I'll do it. I'll keep my eyes on the ball, I'll keep my swing level, I'll knock the ball out of the park.
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: That's the spirit. You do your level best and I won't be surprised if you were the star of the game.
- Candice Muir: Forget it, Captain. You haven't seen him play.
- [Martha has baked a cherry pie for Mr. Peevey]
- Carolyn Muir: Well, there's nothing wrong with Mr. Peevey's taste buds.
- Martha Grant: Thank you, Mrs. Muir, but it's the pie that makes him putty in my hands, and it's the putty that's going to get Jonathan in the lineup tomorrow. Mr. Peevey is the coach, you know.
- Carolyn Muir: Oh, that's very sweet, Martha, but if Jonathan doesn't wanna play, I don't think we should force him.
- Martha Grant: Of course he wants to play - and he will when I get my pie-eating pigeon plumped up.
- Carolyn Muir: Captain, that's no way to treat a lady.
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: Madam, we're not dealing with a lady.
