Box!

They say you should never
let go of your dreams.

But if your dream
is to be a Mouseketeer,

and you're 45,

you may wanna
let that one go.

On the other hand,

if your dream's to be
a Wal-Mart greeter,

you can hang on
to that baby

until, like,
a year after you die.

Me, I don't even
know what my dream is.

But it's all right.
I got time.

I won't be turning
40 for another--

Ugh. I just turned 40.

Jerry, what
are you doing?

Sorry.
Good morning, sweet pea.

No, it's not morning
until the sun's up.

Oh. If you just get
your contractor's license,

you could set your own hours.

Yup.

God damn it.

Oh, that's perfect,
Speed Racer.

Happy birthday, Jerry.

Oh, Ozzie.
You shouldn't have, buddy.

What is it?
Is this that Clapton box
set I've been wanting?

Open it, man.
Open it.

It's for you.

Oh, a commuter mug.

Happy birthday, man.

Thanks, buddy.

What you gonna do
for your birthday, Jerry?

Ah, thought I'd go
to my crappy job

to get yelled at
by my angry boss.

You did that last year.

Yeah, I know.

It's a Jerry Ferro tradition.

I bake a cake
for you.

Do me a favor,
don't put the novelty
candles on it this year.

Yeah, why not?
It's funny.

No, it's not funny.

I almost blew a lung out
on those things.

And by the way,
who's the joke on?

I'm blowing snot
all over the cake,

and then you
eat three pieces?

Very funny.
You blew out,
I eat the cake.

No, Ozzie,
you're not listening.

It's not funny.
You're eating booger cake.

Morning, Mike.
Nice truck.

Yeah, you like it, Ferro?

You know, someday,
you get your own crew,

you might be able to upgrade
from your piece of shit.

Thanks, buddy.

I think this chicken's
gone south, Ozzie.

It's cactus.

Cactus?

It's good.

It's good if your plane
goes down in the desert,

but not if you can
walk to a supermarket.

What'd the old lady pack
for dessert, a pinecone?

What do you take
of marriage, Jerry?

What do I take
of marriage?

I'm not getting married
until I get health insurance.

Health insurance,
then marriage.

That's my policy.

You just turned 40.

Yeah, but I'm not
gonna do it like you.

Marriage, 30 kids

with a wait-and-see approach
to health insurance.

Hey, you two
get 10 minutes
for lunch.

You're way behind
on this wall.

Behind what?

Behind schedule,
dipshit.

You know, Ferro,

you think you're
smarter than everyone

'cause you got
a quick tongue.

But you're just a grunt
working with illiterates,

amounting to nothing.

Leave him alone.

No, hablo retardo,
Speedy Gonzalez.

You know, you're lazy
even for a Mexican.

Hey, Nicaragua.

Oh, well, same
difference, Sanchez.

Now come on,
get back to work.

Ozzie.

Nice try, assholes.

Mike, somebody
threw a belt sander
at your windshield.

Ferro.

Mike, Mike, calm down.
It's the heat.

It's getting to both of us.

Yeah, you better run,
you pussy.

And take the wetback with you!

Here, take this
with you, too.

Got a little going away
present for you.

How about that, huh?

Yeah, get the hell off
my job site, you pussy!

And take the beaner with you!
I hope the Minutemen get you!

Thanks for the mug, buddy.

I'll talk to Steve
about getting you some
work around the gym.

See you.

Why don't you have me
and Ozzie come in here
and spruce it up?

If you're
looking for work,

why don't you just
add another class?

You're still
the people's choice.

That's not gonna
help Ozzie.

I'm running a gym here,
not an unemployment agency.

Good job, Gus.
Good work.

Free, can you give me
a couple of rounds?

Sure, man.

Work it. Yeah.
Right there.

You training this guy?

Nah, I'm just
babysitting him

till Manny gets back
from Chicago.

Just like that.
Just like that.

They call you
the Hammer 'cause
you're a handyman, huh?

First off,
I'm not a handyman.
I'm a carpenter.

And secondly,
you're gonna find out why
they call me the Hammer.

Jab. One-two.

Right there.

Punching angry, huh?

I got fired today.

Who's that guy?

That's Jerry Ferro.

Long lefty with some pop.

What's his class?

Uh, he does
the evening class.

No, I mean
what weight class.

He was light heavy.

Back in the day,
he was pretty good.

Work, work, work!

Yo, Hammer!

Come on, get your hammer
and get up here.

That's the same thing
that's gonna happen
to Taylor.

Hi, fellas. Hey.
Wow, what've we got here?

Look at
the sky, baby.

Wow. Who hangs
a heavy bag with
toggle bolts?

What?

God damn.

No, I mean you don't
hang a heavy bag

with toggle bolts
right under
the dry wall.

You'd lag it into
a ceiling joist.

A good fart would
take this thing down.

Yo, man,
you don't know shit

about punching power,
bitch.
Yeah, but--

I do know something
about toggle bolts.

You'd use toggle bolts,
like, you're hanging,

like, a humming bird feeder,

a picture, or a mobile,

or like a wind chime,
or something like that.

One of those dream catchers.

North American Indians--

use these, uh--

You gotta--
You drill a pilot hole,

and, you know,
I use half-inch,

but some guys use 5/8,
and you would--

I'm gonna take--
Take five. Take five.

How would you like
to move a few rounds
with Malice Blake?

That sounds fantastic.

Perhaps later we could
put my balls in a vice.

Hundred bucks.

All right,

this guy's been known
to fall for a touch and go.

Understand?
Yeah.

Okay.
You got the money?

Time.

Oh, it's on now,
toggle bolt.

All right,
all right, all right!

That's enough!
That's enough.

That was a sample,
motherfucker!

Don't go saying
you knocked Malice Blake
to the canvas.

Did you fellas see me
knock Malice Blake
to the canvas?

Oh!

Man, that's
the slick.

Jerry, you still
got it, man.

Thanks. Listen.

Someone's going to have
to fix that bag.

Ozzie'll do it,
then Ozzie can check
all the rest of 'em, too,

otherwise you're gonna
have a lawsuit on your hands.

Don't worry about it.

You got
a heavy left hand.

How come I haven't
seen you before?

I teach the 6 P.M. class.

No, I mean I thought
I'd seen every pro
in California.

Oh, I'm not a pro.

I just fought
some Golden Gloves,

that's all.

So what are you?

Well, up until
two hours ago,
I was a carpenter.

So you still have
your amateur status?

Not as a carpenter.

Listen, I'm taking
a look at some prospects

tomorrow morning
for the Olympic trials.

No.

No, no, that ship--
That ship sailed
a long time ago.

Well, if you
change your mind.

The address is on there.

You're Eddie Bell.

Last time I checked.

Jab, cross.
One-two.

Step out with the jab,
little step with the jab,

and then poom!

Turn the hips.

Good job, Shellie.
Push off the back foot.

What is going
on here, new girl?

What?

The punch starts in
the ball of the back foot,

travels up the thigh,
through the shoulder,

and out the fist.

Look at your fist
as a package

that needs
to be delivered.

Now, look at your thigh
as the UPS truck.

Don't hit him with your arm.

Hit him with
your thigh and your ass.

Right. Uh.

That was more
of a golf cart,
but all right.

Stick your ass out,
suck your elbows in.

Are you trying
to take a dump, Tony?

Good face, Jeff.

Come on. Yeah.

How'd you get your shiner?

Oh, let's just
say a client got
a little out of hand.

I feel like prostitution
should be legal, you know?

I'm a lawyer.
Public defender.

Oh, yeah.
No, I figured that.

I'm just saying,
apropos of nothing.

It's a victimless crime.
You know.

How'd you get yours?

Trick got out of hand
on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Punch with your
hips, everybody.

Hey, Jerry.

What's going on, Jeff?

I'm entering
my first tournament.

Fantastic.

You've been boxing
for like four weeks.

You think that's
a good plan?

Oh, I'm ready
for this one.

It's the Gay Games.

Yeah, but, Jeff,
you're not gay.

No, no,
but they don't check.
That's the beauty of it.

I figure I'll get
a little competitive
experience, you know?

Kick a little ass.

I don't know, I've seen
some of those guys.

They're pretty ripped.

Come on, you think
I'm gonna lose

to a guy who
enters the ring
to Barbara Streisand?

Uh, I think you'd
lose to Barbara Streisand.

Come on. I've learned
from the best.

Jerry? Jesus.

I mean, you refuse to get
your contractor's license,

but, what, you'll
go be a punching bag

for a few extra bucks?

Ozzie and I quit today.

Well, Matt's an a-hole.

I take on two extra shifts,

and you quit your job?

I'm thinking about
getting back into
competitive boxing.

What a great idea.

Come on, short stack,
it's my birthday.

Yeah, that's right, Jerry.

Another year
has come and gone,

and you've done nothing.

You just quit your job!

You get another
speeding ticket,

and I find
a fucking maxi pad
in the coffee maker.

All right?

This isn't
working, Jerry.

I knocked this guy out
in the first round.

Hey, Jerry,
the best boxer I know, man.

Yeah, I'm the only
boxer you know,
but thanks, buddy.

Hey, it's true.

Alexis Arguello.
Nicaragua!

Rosendo álvarez.
Nicaragua.

Ricardo Mayorga.
Nicaragua!

Nicaragua numero uno.

Nicaragua!

You guys sure seem
to love Nicaragua

except for the part
where you risked your lives

not to live there anymore.

All right, but one round,
then you're going to bed.

Oh!
Oh!

Nicaragua!

Hey, Jerry,
time to bed, man.

Big day tomorrow.

Good night, Jerry.

Good night, Oz.

Jerry! Jerry!

Wake up, man!

You're missing
the trials, man.

I'm gonna do
the Olympics next time.

Better watch out
for me, Coach.

I got mad skills.

Pop! Pop! Pop! Bow!

You got the sound
effects down.

Are you his
legal guardian?

No. No, I'm a boxer.

This ain't no open call.

You have to be invited.

Eddie invited me himself.

Well, I guess he's
getting desperate.

Who here knows
how many gold medals

the United States
boxing team has won

in the last two
Olympics combined?

One!

That's right. Uno!

Cuba has won nine.

Kazakhstan has won three.

I don't even know
where that is.

France has won
as many gold medals

as the United States
in the last two Olympics.

France, for Christ's sake!

Today, we're going
to find out

if anyone here
might have what it takes

to change that in 2008.

Let's get started!

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

You look like shit.

I didn't get
a ton of sleep
last night.

Well, maybe you want
to take a rain check, huh?

No, no.
No, I'm--

I'm good.

All right, put that on--

unless you think that eyebrow
could protect your whole head.

Good stuff.

Come on!

And time!

All right, I think
that's enough, huh?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

I've never felt
better in my life.

All right, go ahead.

Ooh!

Oh!

Victor Padilla.

Did you fight
Golden Gloves?

I fought Golden Gloves,
a while back.

You know,
I was watching you.

You look good,
but I noticed

you throw the jab,
you drop your right
just a little bit,

which is fine against
an orthodox guy,

but if you get in
with a southpaw,

you know,
that could be trouble.

So when was your last fight?

November.

1987.

How come?

Hey, it's none
of my business.

I'd like to see
what you could do

if you took care
of yourself.

I want you
to lose 15 pounds

and be ready to fight
at 178 in a month.

What's in a month?

The regionals in Phoenix.

Congratulations.

* Fueled by a lack

* Drew inspiration
from a need *

* So many problems
to crack *

* And mouths to feed

* Crooked was the path

* The last hurrah?
Nu-uh *

* I'd do it again

* The rascal king
behind the bars *

* Or the one
in front of them *

* Let's go

* The last hurrah?
Nu-uh *

* Do it again

* The rascal king
behind the bars *

* Or the one
in front of them *

All right, everyone,
find your bag

and do something
horrible to it.

Not you, Lindsay.

I wanna work
a little shoe shine,

a little left, right.

Okay.
All right.

You ready?

Are you ready?

Let's see what you got.

Don't take the mace
off the key chain just yet.

Come on.

You got plans tomorrow?

Not during the day.

Maybe we should
just hold off

until an evening
frees up for you.

Oh, just pick me up
at noon tomorrow.

What's the big deal?

Oh, the dreaded day date.

Oh, come on,
what is so bad
about a day date?

What's so bad about it?

It's not a date,
it's an outing at best.

Jerry girlfriend
leaving him.

Excuse me?

Jerry girlfriend
leaving him.

She--
My girlfriend.

Oh.
We-- We broke up.

I'm sorry.
Broke up, yeah.

Have you guys met?

Lindsay, Loud-mouth.
Loud-mouth, Lindsay.

When?

She left, uh--

You know,
it's been a while.

Wednesday.
Wednesday.

Wednesday.

She technically
moved out on Wednesday,

but she checked out
a year before that.

We both did.

Oh.
It's been a while.

Well, um,
I'll see you at noon.

All right.
Bye-bye.

See you.
Nice to meet you.

Silky smooth.
Yeah.

Silk.
Working?

Yeah, velvety smooth.
Oh.

I don't know if you can
understand this, Ozzie,

but chicks don't dig it
when they find out

you've been dumped.

But it's true.

It's also true
I have a hairy ass,

but I don't weave it into
every conversation I have.

Hey, yo, Vic.

You know Coach
won gold

in four different
weight classes?

I'm gonna make it five.

I'm going to be his
second lightweight.

Hey, they say
you're pretty good
with the little dudes.

Let's see what
you're gonna do
with the big boys.

What's happening,
fellas?

Well, if it isn't
the Pale Rider.

I was just telling
my man Vic here

how I'm gonna be the latest
in Coach Bell's

long tradition
of Olympic champs.

Are you light heavy?

That's right.

I'm surprised Eddie
didn't tell you,

but I'm going to be the new
sheriff around here at 178.

You?

Good, good.

I'm glad you guys
got to know each other,

'cause you're going
to be spending a lot
of time together.

Let's get to work.

Hold on, Coach.
Man, you can't be serious.

This dude's, like,
40 years old.

I'm standing
right here,
you know?

I can hear what
you're saying.

Coach, man,
you wouldn't give

a 40-year-old
black guy a shot.

Yeah, Coach,
when is the black man

finally gonna get
a fair shake

in the fight game?

Come on, let's get
a little lather going.

Okay, let's keep
the feet moving,

keep the elbows in,
and your hands up.

Amateur boxing is about
scoring punches.

A light jab scores
just as much as a big hook.

And a knockout still
counts, though, right?

Yeah, okay.
Yeah, it counts.

All right.
And, time!

You know what?

If you think I want
some middle-aged,

middle-class white dude

thinking he's in some
boxing fantasy camp

messing with my mission,

man, you even more
stupid than you look.

I'd have kicked
your ass,

but calling me
middle-class

is about the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me.

How much
for the roses?

$12 a dozen.

Will you take ten bucks
for the dozen?

Okay.

Como se llama?

Carlos.
Carlos.

Carlos, two days ago,
my friend,

I was right
where you're at.

Not on the onramp
of the 405,

but in my head.

You know what I mean?

I didn't know
what was going on.

I was at a crossroads
in my life.

Now, look at me.

Huh?

You know, it's like--
like I wanna tell everyone
about this, you know?

And I'm thinking, like,
what do you want to do,
Carlos?

When's your time?
You know what I mean?

When's Carlos
going to start doing

what Carlos wants
to do, right?

All right?
All right.

All right.

What's Carlos want to do?

Peanut?

Uh, the door's
a little sticky

on the passenger side,

so just hang tight here
and I'll explain.

It's, uh--
It's kind of
a two-man gig.

Just stay clear there.

On three,
lift the handle, please.

You want me to lift it?

Yeah, lift it on three,
but just stay wide of it.

All right, you ready?
Yeah.

One, two, three.

One more--
One more try.

Okay.
We'll go-- Okay?

Ready? Here we go.

Perfect.
Okay.

Like you've been doing it
your whole life.

Your chariot awaits.

Nice to see chivalry
isn't dead.

And because--

the door's been flying open
on left-hand turns,

I'll give you
a little bungee action.

Okay.
There.

Thank you.

And it's off we go.

The La Brea Tar Pits.

Yeah.
Wow.

This date's officially been
downgraded to a field trip.

Come on, now what's wrong
with the La Brea Tar Pits?

I've lived in L.A.
for six years,
I've never been.

I really want
to see them.
You want to see them?

Yeah.
You want to see them?

Close your eyes--

and picture a giant pit

filled with used
transmission fluid.

We've been there.

God, look,
it's really bubbling.

Yeah, I really--
I owe you an apology.

This is breath-taking.

Can you smell it?
I wish I had a condo
right here.

To wake up every morning
to the smell of burning tar.

No other city but Los Angeles
would put up with this.

It's really
an embarrassment.

Is it more than you
even dared to dream?

Tar is not an attraction,
it's a detraction.

You try to get
away from tar.

I don't know why
there's not

more postcards
with this on it.

Do chick mastodons
have the tusks

or is that just
the dude--

Any other city,
by the way,

would have filled this in
with kitty litter years ago.

This is humiliating.

Look, it says here
that every one

of the exhibits
in the museum

was pulled from
one of these pits.

Right in the middle of L.A.

I'll tell ya, I--

My heart's beating
too fast.

I think I gotta sit down.

Los Angeles is awesome.

No professional
football team,

but all the fiberglass
elephants you want.

Look at these kids.

They look pissed off that
they're not at Disneyland.

I would sue my parents
if they took me here.

Oh, look!

I did not realize
we were gonna get
to experience

what it would be like
to be trapped in tar.

I was all wrong
about this place.

See?
Yeah.

I told you
how fun it is.

Yeah, and maybe later
we could find out

what it feels like
to step in a bear trap

or be run over
by a cattle truck.

This is going to be
a great day.
Yeah.

You wanna dip an apple
into that or something,
or you're okay?

No, I'm good.

24,000 years.

I think someone needs
to read their Bible again.

Doesn't it make you feel
kind of insignificant?

Oh, I had that covered
a long time ago.

Don't you ever
ponder your place

in the continuum
of life?

Well, wherever it is,

I'm sure it's behind
the slow driver.

I'd put you
right about here.

That reminds me,
it is loincloth season.

I gotta get into shape.

Are your glutes
this size?

No, that's enhanced.

So, what happens
at the regionals?

Well, if I win
at the regionals,

then I go
to the nationals.

And if you win
at the nationals?

Well, let's not get
ahead of ourselves.

Success isn't
exactly in my DNA.

But if you did?

If I did,
I go to the Olympics.

Oh.

So, why did you quit
in the first place?

I killed a man
in the ring.

Oh, my God, really?

Nah. I wish I had
an excuse that good.

I was just, you know--

I don't have
any reason why.

I didn't get clipped
by a motorcycle

or have to take care
of my sick mom.

I was just-- I was 19
and I was stupid.

Like, when you're 19,
you just--

At that age,
it's just more fun

to play Atari
and smoke pot

than it is to do
sit-ups and road work.

And at what age
is doing sit-ups

more fun than getting high
and playing video games?

That age.

Public defender.

But why grind
through law school

if not to cash in
on the big bucks?

Irrational love
of the underdog.

And by "underdog"
you mean crackhead?

Hey, not all my clients
are crackheads.

Some are meth-heads.

There's probably
one now.

Just a sec.

Hello?

But it's Saturday.

Crime doesn't take
weekends off,
I'm afraid.

You're so butch.

Well, that was fun--

for a day date.

A little abbreviated.

Perhaps we can
work our way up

to late afternoon date?

Maybe even a dusk date?

I know a romantic little
landfill up in Pacoima.

You'd love it.

Oh, I'm sure I would,

but, um, this is
a rough stretch for me.

I have depositions
all week.

Yeah, me too.

I mean, not depositions,
but I'm up early

because I'm in
training now,
you know.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, training regimen.

Crack of dawn
and road work.

You know,
the whole thing.
Right.

Well, I'll see you
in class.

Okay.

Take care.

I got it.

196, Coach.

Oh, you're off
to a great start.

You put on three pounds.

Muscle mass, Coach.
Ah.

I just don't see how
you can be skinny and fat

at the same time.

You know, I've see guys
like you before.

You're one of those
95-percenters

who never quite gives it
everything he's got.

Actually,
I'm a 75-percenter

who's giving you
an extra 20%.

Get out of here.

Scrub.

Okay. And jab.

Jab, jab, jab.

Jab, jab, jab.

And uppercut.

Uppercut.

Uppercut. Uppercut.

Uppercut.

Oz! Ho!

Oswaldo Sanchez,
everybody.

Yeah, thank you.

Thanks for
covering for me.

You go vomit
in the men's room.

Sorry I'm late.

Weight on the ball
of the back foot.

Start with
the straight jab.

Don't be squared off.

This is the third class
she's missed.

I don't know, buddy.

You know, some women,
you tell them

you have no money,

no education,
no career path, and pow,

they lose interest.

Yeah, I know.

Just as well, anyway.
You know, with my
training schedule,

I don't have time to jump
into a new relationship.

You guys got ten days
to the regionals,

and you both need
six months work.

You can use your back hand,
but only to the body,

nothing to the head,
you got it? Time!

Ho, whoa!
Whoa, whoa! Hey!

Get off!
I told you--

I told you
no punches to the head!

All right, you guys
wanna fight, take it outside.

In here, we box.

Yeah, weight on the ball
of the back foot,

and then turn the hip.

Al though you don't
have hips, but if you had 'em,

turn 'em,
and drive the right.

Hey, yo, Jerry,
what's next?

How to hit the canvas?

Whoever does not
love his brother,
cannot love God.

And whoever loves God
must love his brother.

He ain't my brother. Huh.

But he sure is heavy.

You ain't gonna never
make 178, fat boy.

I gotta get into
shape, Oz-man.

I train you, man.
No worry.

Yeah, I gotta
get on your program.

Orale queso.

What's your secret?

* Oh, plug me in
and turn me on *

* Listen here
'cause here it come *

* Got hot licks on
your guitar strings *

* Riffs and rhythms

Whoo! Yeah.

Gordito.

Get off of there,
you jackass.

178, baby.

You got it.

178.

Punch it. Go ahead.

Get away from here.
Are you kidding?

Hey, Coach--

I thought I was
your light heavy.

You wanna win
the gold medal,

and you're worried
about Jerry?

No, I just don't see
why he has to be here.

Every great champion
had someone to push them.

Robinson had LaMotta,

Archie Moore
had Joey Maxim,

Zale and Graziano
had--each other.

Who are those guys?

Ah. Listen.

Two of your biggest
challenges for the gold

are tall lefties
like Jerry.

Now, I could pay him
100 bucks a day
to spar with you,

or I could let him
think he's got a shot
at making the team,

and get him for free.

Trust me, working
with Jerry every day

is gonna help you
win a gold medal.

You're my light
heavyweight.

Huh?

Okay, Coach.
Huh?

You got some change?

Yeah.
All right.

Remember, you're
worried about
your citizenship,

your record,
and your eligibility,

and Uncle Jerr
is the only one

willing to stick
his neck out for you.

All right?

But I was born
here in Los Angeles.

Don't overthink
it, buddy.

Just act natural.

This comes off his record
when he turns 18 next month.

His parole's been impeccable.

I don't see anything
to be worried about here.

Victor, what made you
think you had a problem?

Jerry is the only
one who help me.

Wow. I gotta tell you,
this is a personal
relief to me.

I mean,
this is great news.

I told you.

I told you it
would all work out.

Uh, listen, why don't
you go wait out front,

let Jerry mop up
in here?

Huh? Good news, huh?

I'll get you
some ice cream.

That's, uh--

Poor kid.

I've seen what society
can do to these kids.

The latch,
the latchkey kids.

They just-- just
turn their backs
on these kids.

Then I've seen the
streets just chew 'em up
and spit 'em out.

They're--
They're dis--

They're dispensable.

Dispendable--
Expendable.

Missing class?

Yeah, I've been swamped.

Oh. You think a night
might free up for you?

It doesn't look good.

How about dinner
tomorrow night?

Pick me up at eight?

Works for me.

Oh, and Jerry?

You could've just called.

Yeah.

Did a perp really
take a swing at you?

Oh, not exactly.

They offered us
a plea bargain,

I said he should take it,
he got mad,

threw my scales of
justice paperweight at me,

I ducked and hit
my head on the desk.

Oh. You know,
when my boss

was attacking me
with a pickaxe,

I tendered
my resignation

right then and there
on the spot.

I said to him,
"Good day to you, sir!"
I see.

I bid him adieu
right there.

Can we still
call you the Hammer

even though you're not
a carpenter anymore?

Yes, because I got
the name not because
I'm a carpenter,

but because
I knocked this kid out
many years ago.

That's where I got
the nickname the Hammer.

Oh, really?
Yes.

Really. I got this.

You just lost your job.

Yep, but I picked up
a bunch of classes
at the gym,

and Steve's having
me and Ozzie

do some work
around the place,
so I'm flush.

I'm thinking about
retiring in a few years.

I'm going out
tiara shopping
after this.

You need a tiara?

A pony?

Let's go Dutch.

The Dutch must be
some cheap bastards

to be known
throughout the word
for this one thing.

You ever think
about that?

Yes. Well, don't forget
tulips or wooden shoes.

Yeah, but when people
say let's go Dutch,

they're not talking about
going wooden shoe shopping,

they're talking about
splitting the check.

I'm just saying,
how many checks

do you have to split
as a nation

before this becomes
your thing?

And do you think
they find it racist?

I would find it racist.

I didn't mean to slur
the entire country
of Holland.

I just think
we should split it.

Well, we're not

because this is going
in the books

as a date, not a draw,
all right?

So--you can, uh--

Try that one, my good man.

And, uh, take
these two for backup.

So what's the best
part of your job?

Getting someone
a second chance.

And what's the worst
part of your job?

Watching them squander it

and come back across
my desk a month later.

Oh. This is nice
stucco work.

You know, this is done
with a sponge trowel,

and if you wanted it
to be smooth,
you'd use a--

I don't do stucco, really.
--a metal trowel.

It's too bad
you're in training.

Why?

Well, don't they say
that boxers should

refrain from intimacy
when they're in training?

That old wives' tale?

Please.

That's a thousand
years old.

Well, you know, Eastern
philosophy says that

you expend massive
amounts of chi when you--

Eastern philosophy?
Yeah.

We're in Burbank,
grasshopper,

and I got enough chi
for the whole valley.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

Yeah, I'm overstocked
with chi.

Watch out, it's
chi dealing days.

Oh, really?

Yes, I'm
Chi Chi Rodriguez.

Believe me,
I'm a Chia Pet.

Okay, no, no.

I'm not gonna
be responsible for

messing up your
big comeback. No.

I will gladly
sign a waiver.

You could draft it up
in your lunch hour.

It'll be all aboveboard.

Let me know
how it goes, okay?

All right,
I'll call you
from Arizona.

Don't take too many
shots to the face.

Oh, that's inspirational.

How about a little
something like,
"I believe in you, Jerry"?

Oh, right.

I believe
in you, Jerry.

How could I lose?

I'll see you
in Phoenix.

You're not riding
with us, Coach?

I'm too old for
a six-hour van ride.

I'm flying.
I'll be there
when you get there.

Okay. Hey, uh, Coach,
you think we could use

a little extra
help in the corner?

Yeah?
Yeah.

Ozzie!

Coach.

No, you get your rest
and stay focused.

Basically, this should be
just a walkover for you.

Give you a chance
to work on some of

the things
I taught you, okay?

Okay.

Come on, the party
patrol's leaving!

Poor schmuck.

It's a long way to drive
just to get your ass kicked.

Who's your
favorite boxer?

Me.

Shocking.

You know, Coach Bell
says two fighters

from each weight division
can advance, so--

we may both move on
to the nationals.

Look, man, maybe
after I knock you out,

we can spend some time
really connecting.

But in the meantime,

this ain't no
Big Brother program.

That's good.

Take that energy,
take that hostility,

and harness it.

Use it.

You've got the eye of
the asshole, my brother.

Cheeseburger. Cheeseburger.
Onion ring. Chicken nugget.

Keep digging, Ozzie.

I'm sure there's
some cactus in
there somewhere.

I see where you got
your killer abs.

Hey, look, Jerry,
don't even start talkin'
how the black athlete

don't have to work
as hard to stay fit.

No. That's right.

Everyone's
exactly the same.

Eskimos and Kenyans
have the same metabolism.

And the Kenyans,

they just win the
marathons every year

because they're better
at jogging.

What is it?

If I said blacks were
better natural athletes,
you'd be pissed.

If I said whites were
better natural athletes,
you'd be pissed.

If I said we were the same,
you'd be pissed.

So screw it,
you're gonna be pissed.

You know what, Jerry?

I'm sensing a little jealousy.

Are you mad because
I'm a black Lamborghini,

and you're just putting
along in a Ford Festiva?

How's that salad?

Tastes like a rabbit
crapped in my mouth.

Jesus Christ,
that guy's an amateur?

That's Darius Reece.

Coach Bell said
he'd make sure he's
not in my bracket,

so I don't have to worry
about him till the nationals.

Oh, perfect.

Anybody you want us
to notify?

Next of kin?

Are you an organ donor?

The Lord works through me.

He is all knowing
and forgiving.

I know He loves me,
and He loves you, too

because we are
all His children.

God loves us all.

He is love.

Amen.

Coach.

Robert.

So where's Jerry?

I'm going to tape him up.

That's one cold draw
he got with Reece.

He served his purpose.

You just worry about
what you have to do.

Coach, don't let him
get hurt too bad.

Now, you can't fight
inside with this guy.

He's too strong.

And you can't dance
on the outside.

He's too fast.

What's that leave?

Construction.

Hey, I'm just kidding.

But you gotta keep moving.

This guy was not
the number-one ranked amateur

five years ago for nothing.

What's he been doing
for the last five years?

He's been doing five years.

I gotta pee.

I just taped your gloves.

And you've got
a protective cup on.

I'm not gonna help you.

It's gotta go down
and to the left.

Hold still.
Don't fight me.

Hurry. Hurry.

It's too hard, man.
It's too hard.

Quit complaining.

I not sign up for this.

Come on.
Be hard to hit

and jab, jab, jab.

Yeah, be hard to hit, Jerry.
And jab, jab jab.

Work the body early.

Work the body, Jerry.

* Love is a burning thing

* And it makes a fiery ring

* Bound by wild desire

Ozzie!

Sorry.

* I fell into
a burning ring of fire *

* I went down, down, down

* And the flames went higher

* And it burns, burns, burns

You can't stand right
in front of this guy.
He's killing you.

He'll be punched out
by the tenth round, Coach.

It's only
a four-round fight.

Oh, thank Christ,
'cause I'm gassed.

* I fell into
a burning ring of fire *

* I went down, down, down

* And the flames went higher

* And it burns, burns, burns

* The ring of fire

* The ring of fire

* The ring of fire

* The ring of fire

I gotta get going.

What do you mean?

I gotta go tape Robert.

I got another
round here, Coach.

Hey, we had a good run.

Good run?
This is my first fight.

Where's Ozzie?

I sent him to get
something out of the van.

Listen, when you're
finished here, come on
over and root for Robert.

You're just
a grunt working

with illiterates,
amounting to nothing.

Another year
has come and gone,

and you've done nothing.

You're one of those
95-percenters

who never quite gives it
everything he's got.

Okay, Jerry.

Wow! Wow!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Oh!

Hey, you there?
Pick up.

I won all my fights.

The only dicey
moment I had was
in the first fight,

when the ringside doctor
almost stopped it

because he said I had
dangerously high
levels of chi.

I wish you
could've seen it.

Are you sprinting--
Are you sprinting
to the phone?

Can you hear me?

This is Jerry,
by the way.

Hey, yo, hand me
your keys, man.
I'll drive.

Ah, I don't mind.
I got it.

No, I needed
my rest on the way
out here, dawg.

I can drive back.
Hand me the keys.

It's no problem.
I got it.

It's like that, Jerr?

Come on, man.
I got this, baby.

Hey, get around this guy.

I didn't tell you
how to drive.

That's 'cause I know
how to drive.

Go, go, go.
Make this light.

Hold up, man.
I know what I'm doing.

Hey, can you drop me off?
I'm going to rent a donkey.

Jerry. Wake up, man.

What?

Jerry, wake up.

You gotta pull over.

No, man, I can't.
Switch seats with me.

Switch seats.
Are you high?
Pull over.

Jerry, I got
warrants, okay?

So what?
Pull over.

I'm not taking
a ticket for you.

Dude, the police
gonna pull us over,

they gonna
impound the car.

Officer, um, I don't know.

I must've just had
highway hypnosis.

Usually she'll start
to shimmy around 65

and give me a little
heads up, you know.

Tells me--
You were going 37.

License and registration.

License and
registration, please.

You haven't been
drinking, have you?

No.

Let me tell you
why you're getting

a citation this evening.

Driving too slow

can be just as dangerous
as driving too fast.

Slow pokes like yourself

place other drivers
in tight spots.

You may think you were
being extra cautious,

but actually, you're putting
everyone else in jeopardy.

Imagine a large boulder
sitting in the middle

of a travel lane
on a dark highway,

and you might
just get an idea

of how dangerous this
kind of driving can be.

There you are.

Let's not let this
happen again.

And listen,
this is the highway.

This is for the big boys.

If you can't handle it,
with all due respect,

stick to the side streets.

You have a good night.

37.

37.

We're going 35 now,
and we're not moving!

Hold on, let me
do some rough math!

We'll be back in L.A.
in nine months!

Or should we just
stay here in neutral

and hope that the Earth
just comes around.

L.A. will just come
around underneath us.

My walk to the van
was faster than 37.

What are we, like
20 feet from Phoenix?

37!

Do you understand glaciers
are kicking our ass?

So Robert hits this guy
in the ribs so hard,

I actually hear
cracking come from
the guy's midsection.

And then Victor breaks
a guy's nose wide open,

so it's like a--
It's a blood bath.

Sounds like
a lot of fun.

Yeah, it's good times.

Yeah.

Good, good, good!

Way to go.
All right.

Atta boy, Victor!

All right.

Why do men need
to punch each other
in the face?

'Cause they deduct points

if we punch each other
in the balls.

Oh, I see.

You got it?

Oh!

No, no, I got it.
I got it.

Let's review.
Smart, good looking,
non-smoker.

Shouldn't you
be married by now?

I am married.

To my work.

Was that to me?

Any chance you two
will get a divorce?

No, not for you.

I'd like to start
seeing your work.

I've always been
attracted to your job.

Does your job
ever talk about me?

I could stare
at this forever.

Me, too.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

Let's go.

My ass is asleep.

No offense, but I think you
should fire your gardener.

I mean,
this is like

the surface
of the moon out here.

I've been offered a job.

In real estate law.

Great.
That's fantastic.

You know what, I didn't
want to say anything,

but get out of that
public defender's office.

What do you need
with the crackheads
and the pedophiles.

It's in Seattle.

So you're just
gonna turn your back
on your clients.

I'm flying up tomorrow
to meet with the partners.

I'm weighing my options
a little bit.

You know what the annual
rainfall is in Seattle?

A lot.

Yes, it real--

It's underwater
like nine months
out of the year.

You'd essentially
be moving into
an aquarium.

You wanna live
in that castle

with the bubbles coming
out of the chimney?

It's a lot more money.

What about
the tar pits?

Your beloved tar pits.

You think they have
tar pits in Seattle?

No, they don't
have big holes
filled with tar.

That's--
That's us, baby.

That's L.A.

Look, I'm not
a 24-year old idealist

fresh out of law school
anymore, you know?

I mean, it's
a really good firm.

Well, I guess you
should check it out.

I'm probably not
the guy to be giving
out career advice.

Was that the grill?

Hey, Jerry, man,
wait up.

Hey, uh, I just wanted
to thank you again

for helping me
back there at the van.

You did me a solid.

Yeah. You know
what that ticket's

gonna do to my rates?

I mean,
if I had car insurance?

Hey, Jerry, man,
hold up.

I got something else
to tell you.

What's going on?

Coach Bell's not being
straight up with you.

What do you mean?

Sparring partner?

And a damn good one, too.

You know how much better

Robert's gotten
working with you?

I didn't sign up
to be someone's
sparring partner.

Hey, you ate a lot
of leather in Phoenix.

We're moving up in class now.
You could really get hurt.

I knocked out
Darius Reece in Phoenix.

Hey, who are we kidding?

That was a fluke.

You had the key
to his roller skates.

Look, the point is

I gotta choose my date
for the prom,

and it's Robert.

I can't take you both.

Where we working?
Where are we working?

Get in the truck,
I'll tell you en route.

Covert ops, baby.

When you talk to Mike?

I talked to
Mike yesterday.

He said it's cool.

Come on, she gets back
tomorrow night.

We're up against
the clock, buddy.

Let's go.
We'll never finish.

We'll never finish
with that attitude.

Now, come one.

You bring
the 16-penny nails?

You didn't tell
to me nothing.

You can't think of
anything on your own?

What are you building?

Storage shed.

What are you
siding it with?

T-111.

T-111.

You gotta be careful
with that T-111.

You wanna get
the margins right, you know.

They have a T&G joint.
Wanna get it just right.

If by T&G you mean
tongue and groove,
you're wrong.

The T-111 has
a shiplap seam.

I'm pretty sure it's T&G.
I've worked with it a lot.

No. No.
It's shiplap.

Well, let's talk
foundation bolting.

What are you holding the bottom
plate down to the slab with.

Redheads.

Oh, you're going
with wedge anchors.

Yeah, I'd go
with J bolts.

I'd put 'em in
when the slab was wet.

That way, I wouldn't
have to bust out
the roto hammer.

Well, if I was going
with the footing,
I'd use the J bolts,

but we have
a 4-inch slab, so--

Cut corners,
people get hurt.

It's a tool shed.

It's not an underground
parking structure.

Okay. We're in
earthquake country.

I don't know if you heard.

So what you
building your man?

Uh, a deck.

Oh, that's sweet.

A deck, right?

No, I'm not building it.

You're not building it?

I'm building a deck,
but not--

I'm not building
a deck for him.
No.

I'm building
a deck for my lady.

Oh, for your lady.
Yeah.

What you screwing it
off with, deckers?

No, using 16-penny
galvanized common heads.

Oh, you get a hell of
a lot more grab

with a core-stripped
bugle head zinc
drywall screw.

I hit .690 in the Van Nuys
Unlimited Arc League.

All-American,
Arizona state.

Ozzie.
Yeah?

Let's get those uh--
Let's get those drywall
screws.

And let's go.
March now.

6,500 more washers,
and we're on deck.

She lands in 34 minutes.

And more.

Hey, don't tell anyone
about this part.

* You are so

* Beautiful

* You are

* I want you to know

* I won't let it go

* I won't let it sleep

* Any day of the week

* I should not talk

* But I would like to say

* I want you to know

* I want you to stay

* Here, please

You're a piece
of work, Ferro.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Hey, happy to see me?

Hey, Mike, listen,
you owed me and Ozzie

two and a half
days pay.

That should've more
than covered the price

of that windshield.

Yeah, yeah, but
I get to work today,

and I see that
some assholes
helped themselves

to a big old
pile of wood.

Wasn't me.

Hold him still.

Now, you tell me
where you stashed it,

or I'm slamming this door
on the count of three.

Mike, don't show off.

One--
Come on, Mike.

Two--
Seriously, Mike.
Come on.

Excuse me.

Problem?

You're still dropping
your right a little

when you throw your left.

You don't need Bell.

Jerry, you can
go on your own.

Trainers don't qualify
for the Olympics, boxers do.

I don't know.

Maybe he's right.
I think he's right.

So that's it.

You gotta worry about
yourself now, man.

Bell reigns you in.
You gotta let your hands go.

Come on, Jerry, man.
Don't change the subject.

I'm just saying,
you got a lot of ability.

You gotta think
about your pro career.

I actually think
you're relieved
you don't have to go.

Could I just--
Do you have taquitos?

No, no tequila.
Only sodas.

No, taquitos.

Eh?
Taquitos.

Taquito?

Look, if you said spaghetti,
I wouldn't be confused.

Taquito.

And then he hit me
with two lefts

and a huge right,

and then I realize

how do I know
the guy beating
the crap out of me

is actually gay?

'Cause no one else
would be stupid enough

to pretend they were gay

to enter
a boxing tournament.

Or would they?

What better way
for a homophobe

to legally gay bash?

Jeff, do you think you're
a victim of a hate crime?

Possibly.

Hey.

Hey.

That is the nicest thing
anyone's ever done for me.

By far.

Well, you deserve it.

I should've told you
I rent that place.

Well, I got a break
on the lumber, so--

How's the training coming?

Uh, I'm not.
I mean, I'm not gonna go.

Why? You worked so hard.

It's-- It's just
not in my DNA.

Don't tell me you're
playing Atari again.

No, no.

What's happening with Seattle?

I, um--

I have to take it.

It's just too good
to pass up.

I, um--

I gotta go.

I know it's no great digs,
but it's a week's work.

We'll be fine.

When I live in Nicaragua,

the civil war--
Sandinistas, Contras--

I come here
for opportunity.

Well, in about
five minutes,

you're gonna get
an opportunity to
form some trenches.

You have
opportunity, Jerry.

Fight for your country.

Fight for yourself.

I gotta get suck
off the hose.

* Where have
all my friends gone? *

* They've all disappeared

* Turn around maybe one day

* You're all that was there

* Stood by unbelieving

* Stood by on my own

* Always thought
I was someone *

* Turned out I was wrong

* You brought me through

* And you made me feel

* So good

* Why don't you
stay behind? *

* So good

* Why don't you stop?

* Look at what's going down

Come on!

Come on!

* Now here I go

* Hope I don't break down

* I won't take anything

* I don't need anything

* I want to kill you

* Upon the altar

* You and me

* You and me

Come on!

Who hangs a heavy bag
with toggle bolts?

Looks like I won't
be seeing you
till the finals.

Hi, Jerry.
What's happenin', man?

Oh, don't worry.
I'll be there.

Another clinic
by Robert Brown.

Victor Padilla with
a narrow victory.

Yeah!

And Jerry Ferro's
remarkable run continues.

Ferro advances
to the semis.

A heartbreaking loss
for young Victor Padilla.

Brown breezes
into the semis.

Brown!
Ferro!

Ferro!
Brown!

Jerry Ferro will
join Robert Brown

in the light
heavyweight finals.

Jerry told me that
even Mike Tyson lost
an Olympic qualifier.

It's true.

He also said that
I have a bright future.

You should listen to him.

I mean a guy that old
with arms that skinny, man,

that punch that hard,
he gotta know something.

I pray for you
both tonight.

Thanks, brother.

Ozzie, it's time.

Come on, Ponch.

I make it for you.

Thanks, brother.

And now, we move on to
the light heavyweight final

between young Robert Brown,

one of the most
promising amateurs

in recent history,

and the 40-year-old
Jerry Ferro,

nicknamed the Hammer

no doubt because he's
a fulltime carpenter.

These are two boxers at the
opposite ends of their careers.

For Ferro, it's
a last shot at glory.

And for Brown, it could
be a step on the road

to Olympic champion, and
maybe even world champion.

Hey, Jerry.

Thanks, buddy.
That's sweet.

Hey, man, from her.

She. Lindsay.

What's up, Eddie?

Listen, no quick
triggers tonight, okay?

My kid can take a punch.

Let's let it
go to the cards.

This one's scheduled
for four rounds of boxing.

But Ferro has yet
to have a fight

here at the trials
go to the judges.

Touch gloves.

You ready?
You ready?

Box!

And right from the outset,

the younger fighter looks
like the quicker fighter.

Box.

Brown scoring at will
with the jab.

Jerry, Jerry, move!

Brown is building an
impressive early lead.

Beautiful, babe.
Beautiful.

I don't feel like
I'm hurting him.

You're winning the fight.

That's all you gotta
worry about.

Hey, Jerry,
go for the body.

Only this way
for him breaking nose.

I think he said
to work the body.

And that actually
makes sense.

Hey, I learn
from the best, man.

Both fighters
working outside again.

Ferro trying to make
a move to the body,

but, oh, that right
and left combination
did connect.

And down goes Ferro!

This could be it.

--two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight.

And Ferro makes it
to his feet.

Just as the round ends.

You gotta knock
him out, Jerry.

You need
to knock him out.

Oh, you want me
to knock him out,

you should've said
something earlier.

I would've done it
in the first round.

Listen, you stay away
from this guy

for four minutes,
and you're going
to the Olympics.

Now, get on your bicycle.

He's too old
and too slow to catch you.

What hand would
you like me to use?

Whatever, you know?
You gotta knock him out, man.

I don't know,
I go right, I go left.

I tell you what,
I'll surprise you,
okay?

How about that?
Okay, man.

On your bicycle.

And we're ready
for round three.

With a big lead
and two rounds to go,

young Robert Brown
is putting

his foot speed
on full display,

content to make
his older opponent

chase him
around the ring.

The crowd may not like it,

but Brown is dancing
his way to the Olympics.

And-- Oh!
Here comes Brown again,

scoring with a right,
left combination.
Keep moving.

Keep moving!

And Ferro lands
a big overhand left

just as the round
comes to an end.

What the hell
are you doing?

He can't hurt me.
I can beat him.

You already have.
No stay away from him,
God damn it.

I didn't get in boxing
to run from people.

You do what I tell ya.

Now you get your hands up,

and get your elbows in,

and stay away
from this guy

for two minutes,
you got that?

On my card, Brown
is way ahead on points.

It's gonna take
a knockout from Ferro
to win this fight.

Last round.
Touch 'em up.

You gonna run this round?
I'm through runnin'.

Box.

And we're ready for the
fourth and final round.

It looks like Brown's
dancing days are over,

as he moves in
for the knockout.

Holy cow!

Brown is a man possessed.

Ferro is taking
his best shots.

Break! Break!
No pushing!

Box.

Robert, stay away from him.
Stay away from him.

Two hard lefts to the head!

Another one!
And Ferro has hurt Brown.

God damn it, kid!
Get out of there!

Brown is hurt.
Up against the ropes.

Brown appears to be
out on his feet.

Don't stop it!
Do not stop it!

And it's over!

It looks like Robert Brown
is going to the Olympics.

Jerry Ferro practically
held him up.

Why don't you listen
to me, kid?

'Cause I don't need you.

Oh, is that so?

Well, you're gonna find out
who needs who around here,

small-time punk.

He the champion!
I know, man!

I talk to you, man!
I talk to you!

I guess you miss
your crackheads, huh?

Just my boxing instructor.

Lindsay! You back!

When you leave,
Jerry cried like the baby.

Thanks, buddy.

Huh?

Why'd you hold back?

Affirmative action.

I figured it was your
arthritis acting up.

You're going to
the Olympics, baby.

Yeah, but I'm going
to need a trainer.

All right, I accept.

No, you got
Ozzie's number?

Oh, that's great.

That is good stuff.

You're gonna
love Beijing.

None of the rickshaws
go over 37 miles an hour.

We break ground on Monday.

Steve says when we're finished
we can use his place.

That's great.

Are you going to have
spinning classes?

No. No. This is
a boxing gym.

I'm saying,
but spinning classes
have the finest women.

They be--

Yeah, Robert,
you shouldn't even

be thinking about women
until after the Olympics.

Let me tell you guys about
a circulating life energy

known as chi.

Cheese?

Chi.

So close.
Chi.

It's very important.

Yeah, you don't
melt it on chips.

A great lady,
a loyal best friend,

two promising boxers,

and my own gym
to train them in.

Now that sounds like
a dream come true.

Are you going
to cry again?

I wasn't crying.

I see you!

I had sawdust in my eye.

You liar!

Why do you have
to bust my chops?

You cry-baby.

What, that makes me
less of a man?

Lindsay, he cry!

* Life

* Story of my life

* Well, high school
seemed like such a blur *

* I didn't have
much interest *

* In sports
or school elections *

* And in class
I dreamed all day *

* About a rock 'n' roll
weekend *

* Oh

* And the girl in the front
of the room *

* So close yet so far

* You know she never
seemed to notice *

* This silly
school-boy crush *

* Wasn't just pretend

* Oh

* Life goes by so fast

* You only want to do
what you think is right *

* Close your eyes,
then it's past *

* Story of my life

* Story of my life

* La la huh huh

* Story of my life

* And I went down
to my old neighborhood *

* The faces have
all changed *

* There's no one there
left to talk to *

* And the pool hall
that I loved as a kid *

* Is now a 7-Eleven

* Oh

* And I went downtown
to look for a job *

* I had no training,
no experience to speak of *

* And I looked at
the holes in my jeans *

* And I turned
and headed back *

* Oh

* Life goes by so fast

* You only want to do
what you think is right *

* Close your eyes,
then it's past *

* Story of my life

* Story of my life

* La la huh huh

* Story of my life

* And good times come
and good times go *

* I only wish the good times
would last a little longer *

* I think about
the good times we had *

* And why they had to end

* Oh

* So I sit at the edge
of my bed *

* I strum my guitar

* And I sing
an outlaw love song *

* I think about
what you're doin' now *

* And when you're
coming back *

* Oh

* Life goes by so fast

* You only want to do
what you think is right *

* Close your eyes,
then it's past *

* Story of my life

* Story of my life

* Story of my life

* La la da da

* Story of my life

So you're just
gonna turn your back
on your clients.

I'm flying up tomorrow
to meet with the partners.

I'm weighing my options
a little bit.

You know what the annual
rainfall is in Seattle?

A lot.

Yes, it real--

It's underwater
like nine months
out of the year.

You'd essentially
be moving into
an aquarium.

You wanna live
in that castle

with the bubbles coming
out of the chimney?

It's a lot more money.

What about
the tar pits?

Your beloved tar pits.

You think they have
tar pits in Seattle?

No, they don't
have big holes
filled with tar.

That's--
That's us, baby.

That's L.A.

Look, I'm not
a 24-year old idealist

fresh out of law school
anymore, you know?

I mean, it's
a really good firm.

Well, I guess you
should check it out.

I'm probably not
the guy to be giving
out career advice.

Was that the grill?

Hey, Jerry, man,
wait up.

Hey, uh, I just wanted
to thank you again

for helping me
back there at the van.

You did me a solid.

Yeah. You know
what that ticket's

gonna do to my rates?

I mean,
if I had car insurance?

Hey, Jerry, man,
hold up.

I got something else
to tell you.

What's going on?

Coach Bell's not being
straight up with you.

What do you mean?

Sparring partner?

And a damn good one, too.

You know how much better

Robert's gotten
working with you?

I didn't sign up
to be someone's
sparring partner.

Hey, you ate a lot
of leather in Phoenix.

We're moving up in class now.
You could really get hurt.

I knocked out
Darius Reece in Phoenix.

Hey, who are we kidding?

That was a fluke.

You had the key
to his roller skates.

Look, the point is

I gotta choose my date
for the prom,

and it's Robert.

I can't take you both.

Where we working?
Where are we working?

Get in the truck,
I'll tell you en route.

Covert ops, baby.

When you talk to Mike?

I talked to
Mike yesterday.

He said it's cool.

Come on, she gets back
tomorrow night.

We're up against
the clock, buddy.

Let's go.
We'll never finish.

We'll never finish
with that attitude.

Now, come one.

You bring
the 16-penny nails?

You didn't tell
to me nothing.

You can't think of
anything on your own?

What are you building?

Storage shed.

What are you
siding it with?

T-111.

T-111.

You gotta be careful
with that T-111.

You wanna get
the margins right, you know.
