Nu blev det mystiskt.
I en scen i The Fan (1996) har radio-programledaren Jewel (Ellen Barkin) plötsligt på sig vad jag bedömer är en av Tonys egna röda kepsar, som blekts pga mycket använd.
Att jag inte är helt säker är för att man aldrig får se hela kepsen och Tony är väldigt noga med det här.
Eventuellt är det den här kepsen som Jewel har på sig:

Ja nu är jag övertygad om att det är den hon har på sig. Här är Tony i samma keps under inspelningen av The Fan:

Nedan ungefär det som sägs i program med telefongäster då Jewel alltså har kepsen på sig. Ämnet är baseball och lagkamraterna/rivalerna Bobby Rayburn och Juan Primo.
Jewel: Why are we talking about Primo...when we've got Rayburn right here where we want him...up close and exclusive. Are you ready for your next caller, Bobby?
Bobby (Wesley Snipes): You guys are getting a real kick out of this.
Jewel: What are you talking about?
Bobby: I'm talking about my season is like a bad freeway accident. And you guys you just slowing down to watch.
Jewel: I thought I'd really enjoy this, but the fact is, I feel for you. I didn't know it'd be this rough.
Annan radio-snubbe: Okay, who we talking to? Oh, yeah. On the car phone, we are talking to Gil.
Jewel: Is that our buddy, Gil, Mr. Magical Conjunction himself?
Gil (De Niro) Is this Jewel?
Jewel: You're on the air, Gil. Go ahead.
Gil: I heard what you said about Primo.
Jewel: What's your question for Bobby?
Gil: Is Bobby listening? Bobby? Hey Bob.
Bobby: Yeah, Gil, I'm here, man.
Gil: How you doing? I wanna tell you that I know exactly... what you're going through, more than you can understand. You know, this whole number 11 thing is a fucking joke. You're the greatest player. And all of a sudden you've got some...flash in the pan some hot dog like Primo giving you a hard time about your number. There's a reason you're being paid 40 million. The owners aren't even doing what they should be doing. They should be protecting their investment. Pay him whatever he wants. Give him whatever he wants. Give him a million dollars if he wants. And if he doesn't want a million dollars and won't give up his number...then fuck him! Get him out! What the fuck is the difference? Just get you hitting again, if that's what it's gonna take.
Jewel: And they say fans don't know what they're talking about. I think The public and the owners should be listening to you. Bobby, why isn't this guy on your payroll?
Bobby: Thanks, Gil. Maybe I should have you talk to Primo. Maybe you could talk some sense into him. I need all the help I can get.
Sedan går Gil hem och lyssnar om och om igen på det sista som Jewel och Bobby säger.
