The game continues, Boomer and Robbie thoroughly enjoying the game. Robbie is practically coming out of his chair with the excite­ment. A ball is mishandled and rolls toward them. Rob­bie's so caught up in the action he forgets for a second.
ROBBIE I got it!
Robbie leans over and tries to stop the ball, but it's out of reach and he leans too far -- falling out of his chair. Meadowlark and some of the player immediately rush over and help an embarrassed Robbie back into the chair. Tears are runnng down Robbie's face.
ROBBIE (continuing) I didn't need anyone's help! I gotta get home.
