Nancy: Where does he work?

Alt Script: 1- NANCY: Gasp! That guy has a purple head! How’d that happen. 2- SLUGGO: Well he used to work at the pie throwing booth on the boardwalk and the raspberries and blueberries stained his head. NANCY: Used to? Where’s he work now? 3- SLUGGO: Right here at the Milwaukee Brewers’ training camp for pitchers. He hasn’t been hit once!
