Wedding Crashers

Owen & Vince are Hollywood's reigning pranksters and most eligible bachelors

They both firmly deny that they, along with Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Will Ferrell and Owen's actor-brother Luke, are part of some highly organized, tightknit, power-consolidating, new- order comedy mafia, as recently postulated by the thinking heads at the New York Times.

Getting back to the game, they both say that as kids they stunk at baseball.

"I just wasn't any good," Owen says, looking a bit down. "I'm afraid of the ball."

Licking nacho goo off his fingers, Vince says, "On my team, they called me Eagle Eye. At first, I was excited, like, 'Hey, Dad, they love my eye!' And then, when I'm at bat, they tell me, 'Come on, Eagle Eye. A walk's as good as a hit.' And then I sort of figure it out: 'Hey, wait a minute. They're not cheering me on to swing but to not swing!' It wasn't exactly flattering."

Owen is about to add more of his two cents when out of the blue a dolled-up, exceedingly top-heavy brunette makes an appearance a few rows away. All talk of childhood traumas comes to an end.

Vince checks her out. "There'll be no babies starving on her shift!" he says.

Owen grins.

And suddenly all is right with the world again.
