A man becomes preemiment, he is expected to have enthusiasms.
Enthusiasms... Enthusiasms.

What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy?

Baseball!

A man. A man stands alone at a plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone; but in the field, what?

Part of a team!

Looks, throws, catches, hustles: part of one big team. Bats himself the livelong day; Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If his team don't field, what is he?

Nothing! You follow me?

Sunny day, the stands are full of fans... what does he have to say? "I'm goin' out there for myself."

But, I get nowhere unless the team wins.

1. They pull a knife, you pull a gun
They pull a AK-47, you pull a Howitzer

They shoot to kill, you nuke the whole city

THAT'S the Chicago Way!

2. Do you know what a blood oath is, MrScorpio?
Good, 'cause you just took one.
