** It's hard to imagine Squints getting off with just being banned from the pool for life over his stunt. Sexual harassment and matters of consent have become SeriousBusiness even for ''children''. Today he could likely expect serious ramifications. Since the movie took place in the height of the ''Series/MadMen'' era when sexual harassment was as American as apple pie, he probably would've just gotten slapped back then.

He may have forgotten about the ball he used when playing catch and just remembered the prominent one Bill had.
