- [Ray explains Terence Mann's "pain" to Annie]
- Ray Kinsella: The man wrote the best books of his generation. And he was a pioneer of the Civil Rights and the anti-war movement. I mean, he made the cover of Newsweek. He knew everybody. He did everything. And he helped shape his time. I mean, the guy hung out with The Beatles! But in the end, it wasn't enough. What he missed was baseball.
- [Annie looks at Ray's notes]
- Annie Kinsella: Oh, my God!
- Ray Kinsella: What?
- Annie Kinsella: As a small boy, he had a bat named Rosebud.
- Annie Kinsella: Terence Mann was a voice of reason during a time of great madness. Where others were chanting, "Burn, baby, burn", he was talking about love and peace and prosperity. He coined the phrase, "Make love, not war". I cherished every one of his books, and I dearly wish he had written some more. And if you experienced even a little bit of the sixties, you would feel the same way, too.
- Beulah: [indignantly] I *experienced* the sixties.
- Annie Kinsella: No, I think you had two fifties and moved right into the seventies.
- [Shoeless Joe Jackson walks into the cornfield and disappears. Ray turns to his wife]
- Ray Kinsella: We're keeping this field.
- Annie Kinsella: You bet your ass we are!
- Annie Kinsella: [trying to understand the situation] I mean, Shoeless Joe...
- Ray Kinsella: He's dead. Died in '51; he's dead.
- Annie Kinsella: He's the one they suspended, right?
- Ray Kinsella: Right.
- Annie Kinsella: He's still dead?
- Ray Kinsella: Far as I know.
- Ray Kinsella: [about the reclusive Terence Mann] OK, the last interview he ever gave was in 1973. Guess what it's about.
- Annie Kinsella: Some kind of team sport.
- Annie Kinsella: They're talking about banning books again! Really subversive books, like "The Wizard of Oz"... "The Diary of Anne Frank"...
- Ray Kinsella: I think I know what "If you build it, he will come" means.
- Annie Kinsella: Ooh... why do I not think this is such a good thing?
- Ray Kinsella: I think it means that if I build a baseball field out there that Shoeless Joe Jackson will get to come back and play ball again.
- Annie Kinsella: [staring in disbelief] You're kidding.
- Ray Kinsella: Huh-uh.
- Annie Kinsella: Wow.
- Ray Kinsella: Yeah.
- Annie Kinsella: Ha. You're kidding.
- Ray Kinsella: The Voice is back.
- Annie Kinsella: Oh, Lord. You're supposed to build a football field now?
- [Ray and Annie are talking on the phone]
- Ray Kinsella: Hey, Annie. Guess what? I'm with Terence Mann!
- Annie Kinsella: Oh, my God! You kidnapped him!
- Mark: You're going to lose your farm, pal.
- Ray Kinsella: Come on, it's so big - I mean, how can you lose something so big?
- Annie Kinsella: He misplaced the house once.
- Ray Kinsella: Yeah, but it turned up two days later, didn't it?
- Ray Kinsella: The voice is back.
- Annie Kinsella: Oh Lord, you don't have to build a football field now, do you?
- Ray Kinsella: He said, ease his pain.
- Annie Kinsella: Ease whose pain?
- Ray Kinsella: I asked him. He wouldn't tell me.
- Annie Kinsella: Shoeless Joe's?
- Ray Kinsella: I don't think so.
- Annie Kinsella: One of the other players?
- Ray Kinsella: I don't think so.
- Annie Kinsella: Ray, this is a very non-specific voice you have out there and he's starting to piss me off.
