Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Nicky Rogan's new play is opening on Broadway and many agree, he has written the best play of his career. Or has he? Critic Steven Schwimmer is slated to review and he's ruined many a playwright with his scathing words. Nicky is becoming concerned, but instead chooses to obsess over his Red Sox and their chances against the Mets in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. Will the Sox and his play come crashing down on the same night?

| Quotes |
Paisley Porter:
I didn't understand until today how much pain and anxiety you've been causing everybody with your reviews. Steven, it's completely unfair. Steven Schwimmer: It's unfair? Paisley Porter: Yes. Steven Schwimmer: The truth is always unfair. Paisley Porter: Well, it doesn't have to be. Steven Schwimmer: Why do you think I live this way? Why do you think I'm, I'm taking electricity from the lamp-post [he gestures outdoors] Steven Schwimmer: and hiding out? Why? Paisley Porter: Because you choose to. Steven Schwimmer: No. Because people who write the truth are the outcasts of society. I can't live openly. I can't live in a nice door-man building, with my name on the mailbox, because they'd, they'd come after me in packs! Paisley Porter: Not if you wrote the truth gently. Steven Schwimmer: [in an upset tone] But the truth is never gentle. See more » |
