My name's louden,
louden swain.

Last week, I turned 18.

I wasn't ready for it.

I haven't
done anything yet.

So I made
this deal with myself.

This is the year
i make my mark.

All right, fellas.

It should be clear
to all of us

that we've got
the makings

of a championship
squad this year.

Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!

As most of you know,
once a week,

vve have vvrestle-offs
for varsity position.

For you new fellows
who just joined us,

it's the fairest
thing in the world.

Any man vvho can beat the
number-one man at his vveight class

gets to vvrestle varsity
at that position.

Anyone who wants
to challenge

the number-one man
in his weight class,

raise your hand.

Louden, you're already
number one at 190.

I know. I want to
wrestle off for 178.

What's
this shit, man?

You dropped
to 178?

Stay in
your own division.

I ain't giving up
my spot.

How did you
drop the weight?

Just working out.

Ok. Billy,
i want you

to run the skills drill for me.

Louden, I want
a word with you.

Ok, guys. Go and
get your headgear

and get
paired up, ok?

What's going on?

I want to
drop a weight.

Why make life
difficult on yourself?

I'm going to drop
two weights, coach.

I'm serious.
I want to wrestle 168.

Look, it was easy
to drop 12 pounds.

You only had to vvring the
vvater out of your system.

I'm going to wrestle
shute this year, coach.

Shute? Nobody wants
to wrestle shute.

Louden, you're out
of your mind.

To tell you the truth,
i kind of worry about that.

I'm going to let you vvrestle
off against kuch at 178,

but if he
kicks your butt,

I vvant you to put those
pounds right back on.

All right.

Number-one man,
cross leg single.

All right,
on the whistle.

First round.

Come on, kuch!

Come on, kuch!

Drive him over!
Arch your shoulder!

N' another night
in any town h'

n' you can hear the thunder
of their cry h'

h' ahead of their time h'

h' they wonder why h'

n' the shadows
of a golden age n'

n' a generation
waits for dawn n'

h' the brave carry on h'

h' the bold and the strong h'

h' only the young
can say n

n' they're free
to fly away n'

n' sharing
the same desire h'

h' burnin' like wildfire h'

h' they're seein'
through the promises h'

h' and all the lies
they dare to tell n'

n' is it heaven or hell h'

h' they know very well h'

m' only the young
can tell... nh

elmo, it smells great
in here.

I can't believe
they actually pay me

to work here.

Neither can I, kid.
What have we got here?

Two lemon pies
and a coffee.

I guess I can
handle that.

Did you make your big
announcement yet?

I told the coach
i was down to 178.

He pulled me aside.

I told him
the whole story.

Did he shit?

Yeah, slightly.

Slightly?
You're too much.

Hey, elmo,
you think I'm crazy?

I pretty much
have the feeling

that's going to be
the consensus on this.

I don't know.

Is this
shute character

the terror
they say he is?

Yeah, he's
pretty bad.

Well, in that case,

this might be a move a
reasonable man vvould avoid.

You could end up
getting crippled.

You think so, huh?

Room service.

Come on in.
It's open.

Just put it down.

I'll sign that now.

What is that stuff?

T'al chi-- national form
of exercise in China.

I'm going to put your
tip on this, ok?

Can you get
a workout that way?

800 million Chinese
can't be wrong.

It's mainly a matter of getting
the mind into the muscles.

I use it when
I'm on the road.

It helps me
sleep like a baby.

Really?

I'm on
a 600-calorie-a-day diet,

working out
like a madman.

I'm so vvired vvhen I hit the
rack, I can't sleep at all.

I lie there
for about six hours

thinking about
my life and stuff

before
i finally drop off.

My name is Kevin.

Louden. Louden swain.

Let me show you
how it's done, louden.

It'll help you sleep.

All right.

Stand there.
Face this way.

Just sort of
catch me

out of the corner
of your eyes.

Ok, now breathe in.

Raise the arms.

Keep the movements
slow, fluid.

Breathe out.

Shift your weight
to the left.

Step onto the right.

Stack your hands
over the knee.

Step back to the left.
Move your arms.

Step back
to the left.

Stack your arms
the other way.

Step out.

I think I got it now.

I'll try it on my own
when I get a chance.

Do you want to
come up later?

No. I don't think so.

I got to get home.

I'm in training.

Training, huh?
What sport?

Wrestling.

Wrestling.

I sell sporting goods
for a living.

As a matter of fact,
i carry wrestling shoes.

Just leave the tray by the
door vvhen you're finished.

Hey, kuch.

You kicked the holy-living
shit out of me today.

I guess I was just
really up for it.

Besides, you weren't
at your best.

Only had the vvorst off-day
of my vvhole life.

Like I said.

Shit. I couldn't beat
you on my best day.

You work there,
in that hotel?

Yeah, I deliver
room service.

Yeah? You get
any pussy that way?

Not yet.

A guy tonight tried to
grab my vvad, though.

Kind of actually
grabbed it,

if you want to
know the truth.

What did you do?

Took off. I was
a little freaked.

Nobody ever
tried that before.

Kuch,
forget about today.

You'll be vvrestling first
in the 178$ before long.

Oh, yeah?

Cut me a clue, man.
How do I do that?

I ain't going to be in
that division too long.

No shit?

This is like a gift.

Hey, kuch never
forgets a gift, man.

Yo, louden!

Hey, man, vvhere are
you going to be?

I'm dropping down
to 168.

I'm going to
take on shute.

Shute?

Shute's a monster, man.

A genuine teratoid.

Get real.

His father has to
use a live vvire

to keep him from
fucking the fireplace.

Yeah, I know
about all that.

I'm going to
lose the weight

and get down
on the mat with him.

Like, why?

It's now or never.

I'd keep this thing
a big secret.

This isn't
the kind of thing

you want everybody
to know about.

I wouldn't
want shute to know.

I told the coach, a guy i
vvork vvith, and novv you.

It's an honor, man.

Your secret
will die with me.

N you do what
you wanna do n'

hey,
how's it going?

N I'll leave it
all up to you... un'

catch you
after school, brother.

Hey, where's
my change, man?

That was Sammy hagar,
I'll fall in love again.

Ratman rouse here
spinning the gold

for your lunchtime
pleasure.

Talk about
magic moments.

Will louden swain need
one, two, or a big bunch?

Our man at 190
says he's dropping to 168--

are you ready for this--
to wrestle the shute.

Good luck, swain.

Now here's
hot blooded.

N well,
I'm hot-blooded... n

you're a real asshole,
you know that?

Kick his ass!

Sure, Otto.

What good will it
do the team?

I don't know.
Maybe no good at all.

If the coach wouldn't
fire my ass,

I'd take you apart
myself

and save shute
the satisfaction.

You piss me off.

Well,
it isn't intentional.

N you know what
i have in mind h'

n' honey,
you ought to know n

n now you move
so fine... un

only unbelievable,
louden.

I'm going to do an editorial
for the school paper--

"when determination
becomes lnsanity."

You're a celebrity.

I just hope you
live to enjoy it.

Thanks.

I loved your article on
interossei and lumbricales--

"those unsung muscles
of a good grip."

I don't know if
anyone gives a fuck,

but the writing
was great.

When's
your next one?

I haven't decided
on a subject yet.

Maybe the
sternocleidomastoid.

The what?

Oh, yeah!

Hey, why not?
Go for it!

Hey, Mr. tanneran.

Hey, louden.

You ought to try
jumping rope.

It's great for the
cardiovascular system.

Shit.

I'm hearing strange
things about you.

It's getting blown
out of proportion.

Come on, man.
I'll guard you.

I'm an animal
on defense.

All right.

Are you ready, animal? Yaah!

You take one.

Ever hear of t'al chi?

What's that,
a Chinese thing?

Can 800 million
people be wrong?

Frequently.

I got to go to
wrestling practice.

Othervvise, I'd shovv you
hovv to play the game.

Hey, louden.

Maybe you're overextending
yourself on this shute challenge.

Definitely.

You have a tendency
to do that.

Sometimes, you
got to. Remember?

This is
one of them times.

Today's the day, Otto.

Keep your hands
in front.

Don't straighten
your arms.

You got it!

You got it!
You got it!

You're dogging it!

You're dogging it,
lard ass!

Come on! Come on!

Come on, you wimp!

Come on, you pussy!

Come on, you pussy!

Come on!
You're losing it!

You wimp!

All right, fellovvs,
let's circle up here.

All right.

Columbia high graduated
tvvo seniors

from last year's
squad.

So vve can bet that they're
going to be agile--

hey, man,
what's happening?

Agile, mobile,
and hostile this season.

That was
a great idea

about keeping
everything secret.

I'm sorry.

It was too good
to keep to myself.

I had a talk last night vvith
the everyvvhere spirit.

Looks like you talked
with everybody.

With who?

The everywhere
spirit.

Kuch!

Novv, fellas, if a
Columbia vvrestler

gets you at
a disadvantage

and breaks
you down flat,

he'll put this
move on you.

This is a trademark
over there at Columbia.

Right, kuch?

Yep.

Can we see that
again, coach?

We all remember how
we counter this, right?

Yeah.
Yeah.

All right.
Let's pair off

and practice
countering this move.

Now, the bottom man
is active.

Head back.
There you go.

There you go.
That's it.

You knew I was
half Indian, huh?

Yeah. I figured it was
something like that.

I figured
you'd need big medicine

to go after shute.

So last night,
i smoked the pipe,

and I had a session with
the everywhere spirit.

That's when
it was revealed to me

what you're
really doing.

Uhh!

Yeah?

Yeah.

What am i
really doing?

You're on
a vision quest, man.

You're trying to find
your place in the circle.

I just want to
wrestle shute, ok?

Ok, ok.

What's happening?

He broke my tooth!

You sold me
a lemon, asshole.

Hey, look at this.

You got what
you deserved.

Let's get back
to work now.

What happened?

Ask your old man.

I don't mind a man
making money.

I don't want him
stealing it.

Get a good eyeful?

You all right?

Yeah. Take her
down to ferguson's

and buy her
a hamburger.

I'll be along
in a minute.

What about
my car?

I'll take care of it.

Look, folks,
the show's over, ok?

Some people just see
you coming, I guess.

They take one look
at you and say,

"oh, boy.
Fresh meat."

Who the hell
are you?

Louden.
Louden swain.

My father, he vvas the
one vvith the punch.

You're not from
around here, are you?

What, are you
kidding me?

Trenton,
New Jersey.

Why do you
look so funny?

I'm wearing
a rubber suit.

I'm a vvrestler. I'm
trying to lose vveight.

Ok. I got it.

Onions on that?

Yeah. Lots of them.

Anything for
you, louden?

Just ice water, Elsie.

Just
ice water.

What are you doing
here from New Jersey?

Going to California.
San Francisco.

I got sick
of hitching,

so I put all my money
into the car.

Brilliant.

Who's in
San Francisco?

Me...
When I get there.

You got a job there?

You don't have to
know everything.

Who the hell are you?

I told you.
Louden swain.

See, I'm just
naturally curious.

I'm going to be a
doctor in outer space.

Good. You vvon't have to
knovv a thing about me.

I'll be
stuck on earth.

I'm 18, by the way--

draft age, as of
three days ago.

I was wondering
how old you were.

21.

I've been 21
since I was 14.

Hey, Larry.

Hi, Elsie, bill.

That's the first time
I've hit a man in anger

since I was
louden's age.

Sorry. I didn't
catch your name.

It's Carla.

So, what
did they say?

Like, Mr. edvvards, especially.

I've looked
for jobs before.

Oh, great.
You've been fired.

Shit. I'm sorry.

I didn't want you
to lose a job.

Me, neither.

Where are you
going to get another job?

They should've fired that
other guy passing off junk.

Will I get
my money back?

Hell, no. They don't
operate that way.

That lemon and 2o
bucks vvas all I had.

Pop, can I talk to you
a minute?

Sure. Oh, you
mean private?

Yeah.

Excuse us.

Elsie, I'll have tvvo eggs,
toast, and black coffee.

You got it,
Larry.

Beating up on guys
makes you hungry.

I'll get another
job. Don't worry.

It's not that.
It's her.

She doesn't have
any transportation

or anyplace to stay.

Maybe we could ask her
to stay with us

till you fix the car
or whatever.

This girl's been arcund
the block a fevv times.

We don't know
a thing about her.

She's from New Jersey.

She's on her way
to California.

Just so you realize
she's her own person,

not some puppy we found.

Yeah.

It's just helping someone
vvho's had bad luck.

That's all I'm saying.

Carla, have you got
a place to stay?

I vvas planning on leaving
this dump in my ovvn car.

If you want to,
you can stay with us.

Come and go
as you please.

You'd do that?

Why?

Where we come from,

people believe in
helping each other.

Don't vvorry. I can
take care of myself.

You've got a place
if you want it.

What about your wife?
What's she going to say?

She doesn't live
with us anymore.

Not much into
decor, are you?

I spend most of the
time in the basement.

I'll make some room
for you in here.

Is this a problem
for anybody?

What?

Is this a problem
for anybody?

No.

I won those
last year.

I was a natural,
first year and all.

I got to the state
quarter-finals,

which everybody said
was pretty amazing

for a first-year
wrestler.

See...

The thing
is my balance.

It's more important
than strength or speed.

You've got to feel where
the other guy's going.

Then you use his
strength against him,

if you've got
perfect balance,

which I do.

I've got
kinesthetic awareness.

I always know
where my body is

in relation to...

Louden?

She fell asleep.

Let's turn out the light
and let her sleep.

Well, 11 :00, kid.

Another day down the
tubes and gone forever.

1...

2...

3-

elmo...

I'm thinking of becoming
an exobiolqgist.

I thought you wanted
to become a doctor.

That's the beauty
of it. I can be--

you knovv, like a
doctqr in outer space--

if I get a vvrestling
scholarship

and if there's enough
mqney for the rest.

Jesus, it could
give you a headache.

Well...There's
always tomorrow, kid.

That's my motto
in life.

Hey, louden!

Kuch, what are you
doing here?

I'm going to
pace you, remember?

Help you train
for the monster.

Jeez, I forgot.
I'm sorry.

What? How could you forget
something like that?

How can you think
about anything else?

Give me a ride home
on your bike.

I'm in a hurry.

Riding a bike
don't burn off weight.

That ain't the way
to beat shute.

Just for tonight,
all right?

We'll make it up
tomorrow.

Ok, but
you run the risk

of pissing off
the spirits, man,

which is not
the thing to do.

Nice shoes, man.

See you tomorrow
in school.

I could
go for a beer.

Oh, my father
doesn't let me.

Cup of coffee, then.

All right.
A cup of coffee.

Vve got someone staying
vvith us, by the vvay.

I've been asking
about shute.

That son of a bitch

is definitely tougher
than he was last year.

Where'd
you hear that?

When he pins
a guy now,

his coach
has to keep him

from biting
the guy's throat off.

That's what I hear.

How about
instant coffee?

Yeah, man.
Make it strong.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Where's pop?

He's asleep.

I thought maybe
you were sleeping

'cause you were sleeping
when I went to work.

Yeah. I was beat.

Mind if I take one?

No.
Oh, um, Carla...

This here's kuch.

Hi.

Hi.

Kuch is like
my white name.

My Indian name
is swift elk.

I'm half Indian
on my mother's side.

No shit.

Good night, guys.

Good night.

You meatman.

Novv I knovv hovv you're
losing that vveight.

Uh, we're going to
make some coffee

if you'd like
to have some.

No, thanks.
It'll keep me up.

Can I have a spoon?

Thanks.

Good night.

Who is that girl?

N lunatic fringe h'

n' I know
you're out there... un'?

Good morning.

You got
any garlic salt?

Yeah.
Somewhere in there.

Thanks.

You like it
like this?

Yeah, I love it
like this.

You vvant to knovv vvhy I'm
going to San Francisco?

I'm going
to be an artist.

Isn't that
hilarious?

Me?

What kind
of artist?

A good one.

You know,
canvas and paint.

That kind of artist.

I guess San francisccts
the place to do it.

You're
absolutely right.

Think of me as a person
vvho vvants to be artist.

I'm not one yet,
but I'm going to be.

I'm glad you
told me about this.

Good morning.
How did you sleep?

Really good.
Sit down.

Breakfast is
almost ready.

None for me,
thanks.

You don't have
to wait on us.

That's all right.

We don't
expect it.

We're used to
doing for ourselves.

I just want to contribute.
Do you mind?

Of course not.
Knock yourself out.

Sit down.

I better be getting
off to school.

Get something
in your stomach first.

It's cold out.

It's just that i
don't eat much.

Sit down.

So...What ever happened
to the lady of the house?

You mean
louden's mother?

She left not long after
they foreclosed on the farm.

It vvasn't vvhat they'd
call a real good year.

Another man
was involved.

Vvhy do you alvvays
got to talk about it?

Are you proud
of it, or what?

I'm not
ashamed of it.

It just happened.

Hovv's it feel, breaking
up vvith your hand

after all
these years?

Live-in gash, right
under your ovvn roof.

God damn kuch.

Hey, Otto, it's true!

Old louden's giving
her the big one!

How? I'm not
lending him my cock.

Lend me your nose.
I'll blow up Montana.

I'll give you
something to blow.

First you got to
find it, airhead.

Get down!

Come on, asshole!

You're all talk!

Come on, asshole!

Save it
for the opponents!

He is
the opponent!

I said save it!

You boys got
too much energy.

I want to see you both
before practice.

Now go on,
get to homeroom.

All right,
let's break it up.

I think this is
a big mistake, man.

Why give yourself
nightmares?

I already have
nightmares.

It could be worse.

Hey, shute!

Careful, louden.

Shut e'.!

Yeah?

Do I know you?

Louden swain,
Thompson high.

Think you'll
make the weight?

I don't know.

I hope so.

I hope so, too.

Here, eat this, kid.

You're looking
too peaked.

What's in it?

Wheat germ mostly,

with a little bit
of lean ground meat.

I don't vvant you dropping
dead on my kitchen floor.

I kind of miss old Kevin
since he checked out.

He was really
weird, man.

He was weird?

Look at hovv you're
eating that hamburger.

Pick it up and
eat it like a man.

I can't.
I'm in love.

With Kevin? Maybe
he'll come back

and take you away
from all this.

I'm in love
with Carla.

Listen to it--Carla.

I wanted to ask her

to come down to the
Columbia high match,

vvatch me kick the shit
out of that guy at 178.

I couldn't
find the courage.

I don't have the vvill
to eat, you knovv?

What the fuck is this?

You mean you don't
recognize it?

Wait a minute.
This is cooze.

Yeah. I'm thinking
very seriously

of becoming
a gynecologist.

A cooze doctor in outer space?
You're crazy.

I want to look
inside women,

find the power that
they have over me.

All I used to think about
vvas vvrestling shute.

Now all I think
about ls--

Carla's cooze.

Well, yeah.

Hello, Carla.

I just was
getting a shirt.

Great sounds.

You being sarcastic?

No, no. I like
all kinds of music...

Like, in the background
when I'm thinking

or in a mood
or something.

It's Vivaldi.

Yeah, Vivaldi.

He's great.

They give me a discount
vvhere I vvork.

Oh, yeah. How's
that thing going?

All right.

It's only temporary
till I get going again.

It's a job.

I love the room this way.

You don't mind?

No. This is how
a room ought to look--

so you can
tell something

about the person
who sleeps there.

Can I see
what you're drawing?

Hey, that's me!

That's really
fantastic!

Not just
'cause it's me.

It could be
anybody, but...

You're an artist
already, Carla.

I'm impressed
to hell.

You look very nice.

You got a date?

No. The coach from
Washington state

is here in town.

He's going to meet
us at our school.

You know how to work
one of these things?

I'll give it a shot.

I can't get over
that drawing.

Is he going to
offer you a scholarship?

Who?

The coach.

No. He just wants
to meet us.

There.

Have a good time, ok?

Ok.

I'll see you.

Thanks for showing
me the drawing.

hey, louden.

Hey, Mr. tanneran.

Why am I surprised
to see you here?

I don't know.

I was here
all last summer.

Shot up
to 200 pounds

pigging out on
ribs and beer.

Mind if I watch
you eat?

I vaguely
remember it.

Tell you what.
Help yourself.

No, I couldn't.

Come on. One rib
won't kill you.

No, but
it's a good start.

You want to dance?

Carla. How did you
find this place?

Hell, how could
you miss it?

Carla, this is Mr. tanneran,
my English teacher.

How are you doing?

Gene, please.

Mr. tanneran,
Carla.

How do you do?

I do fine.

How about
that dance?

Yeah, sure.

It was nice
meeting you.

Same here.

H' you're so close
but still a world away n'

h' what I'm dyin' to say n'

h' is that I'm
crazy for you n'

n' touch me once h'

n' and you'll
know it's true h'

h' I never wanted
anyone like this ii

n' it's all brand-new n'

n' the feelin'
in my kiss n'

h' I'm crazy for you... n'

not a half-bad
dancer.

Thanks.
I'm self-taught.

You here alone?

No. I came
with them.

Who are
the cowboys?

Just a couple
of guys we met.

They look like
a couple of geeks.

Really? The one
with the mustache

was top rider at
calgary last year.

Still looks
like a geek.

How did it go
with the coach?

All right.

Listen,
you want a ride home?

No. I'm going to stick
around a vvhile.

This isn't the kind
of place for an artist.

Well, maybe tonight
I'm just a chick.

Thanks
for the dance.

N' soon we two are
standing still in time n'

h' if you read my mind h'

h' you see
I'm crazy for you h'

n' touch me once h'

n' and you'll
know it's true h'

h' I never wanted
anyone like this... in?

Come on, Carla.
One more for the road.

You guys are crazy.

Thanks for the ride.
Good night.

Your attention, please.
At 168 pounds,

from the sherman
highlanders,

Matt maclean.

Good luck to you.

From the hoover panthers,

with eight straight
pins this year,

our defending state champion
at 168 pounds,

Brian shute.

Shut e'. Shute! Shut e'.
Shut e'.!

Let's go, Brian.

Good luck, son.

Notes on
the shuteimaclean match.

The 168-pound winner,
Brian shute!

H' lunatic fringe h'

h' I know that you
are out there h'

n' you're into
my head... tin'

"ah, as the heart
grows older,

"lt will come to such
sights colder by-and-by,

"though spare a sigh,

"though worlds of
wanwood leafmeal lie.

"And yet, you will weep
and know why.

"Now no matter, child,
the name:

"Sorrow Springs
are the same.

"Nor mouth had, no,
nor mind expressed,

"what heart heard of,
ghost guessed.

"Lt is the blight
man was born for.

It is Margaret
you mourn for."

Well, what
do you think?

Does anybody understand
a vvord of it?

Huh?

Louden?

This poem mean
anything to you at all?

Yeah, kind of.

I figure the girl
in the poem's about my age.

She's feeling sad

about the leaves
falling from the trees,

and the poet tells her
what she's really sad about

is that she's beginning to
realize she'll die someday, too.

The thing is,
she's already dying.

Is that a good
thing to realize,

or vvould vve be better off
not thinking about it?

I don't know.

Nobody likes
to think about it.

I don't like
to think about it.

But if you don't,

you might go through life

thinking you've got
plenty of time.

You put off the really
important stuff until later,

and before you know it,
there's no more time left,

and you've blown it.

That's not bad,
louden.

Not bad at all.

Oh, by the way,
papers, everybody.

I want to see
them tomorrow.

Hey, swain.

Ok, I'll give it
to you straight.

I think I love you.

Oh, Jesus.

Drink this.

I think
you're dehydrated.

Naw, I'm the victim

of a screwed-up
nitrogen balance.

Plus I think I've
contracted priapism.

It might be
pathological.

Priapism?
What's priapism?

The disease
of constant erection.

I read about it in
my rare diseases book.

Believe me,
it's not funny.

The girl of my dreams
lives under my own roof.

I see her every day,

but she thinks I'm a kid,
immature, a dumb jock--

all of which is
more or less true.

I'm dying, Mr. tanneran,

like that girl
in the poem,

only quicker
and with a hard-on.

Carla?

Mr. tanneran,
she's wonderful.

She's got all the best
things I like in girls

and all the best things
i like in guys.

Excellent!

Number-one man, arm on elbovvs.
Fireman. Ready?

Excellent!

That's the way
to finish it.

May I help you,
young lady?

Vvhoo! Vvhoo! Vvhoo! Vvhoo!

Louden,
is that her?

Why are you
wasting your time

with a faggot
like louden?

Hey, come out here
in the hall.

This place is the pits.

The smell in there
isn't even human.

You ok?

Yeah. Why?

I heard you fainted.

Oh. I had kind of a temporary
nitrogen imbalance,

kind of a sodium
depletion syndrome,

maybe some general
light-headedness,

maybe one or two
other things.

Will you live,
or what?

I'm just trying
to cut weight, you know,

trying to get
down to 168.

I don't get it.

Why do you
want to get smaller

and wrestle
a small guy?

Vvhy not get bigger and
vvrestle a big guy?

Big guys
aren't better.

168 happens to be the toughest
division in the state,

maybe in the whole
god damn world.

I don't want to see
you starve yourself.

You're kind of like
a stepbrother.

What do you mean,
stepbrother?

What would you
call it?

Vvell, I don't knovv if I'd
call it a stepbrother.

I don't knovv hovv a
stepbrother supposed to feel.

Take care
of yourself, ok?

Louden, I want to
see you in my office.

All right.

I do take
care of myself.

I'll see you
later...At home.

Stepbrother.

No good.

You're at 6% body fat.

Fellas told me you took a
nose dive in the hallvvay.

I feel fine, coach. Honest.
It vvas nothing.

Novv, I remember the first
time you vvalked in here

and asked me
to let you wrestle.

You still had hay
in your hair.

What a surprise
you turned out to be,

darn near going the
distance your first year.

Well,
this is your year.

You can be a state
champion this year,

but not at 168.
It's not in the cards.

I don't care about
a state championship.

I just want
to wrestle shute.

Fuck shute!

Pardon my language.

Three years, undefeated.

Nobody's
even come close.

I saw him take
maclean for a fall

without even
working up a sweat.

I didn't want to
bring this up,

but if you're looking for
a wrestling scholarship,

this isn't the way
to do it.

I'm kind of
committed to this.

Well, it's not
your decision.

It's mine,
and the answer is no.

No?

That's right.

I won't watch you
ruin yourself

and bring down this team

for some
silly dream of glory.

Now go back to practice.

Make plans to wrestle
at your weight

or not at all.

Hey, dude, vve're
svveating ass in here.

Where you been?

If you're on some ego trip,
that's your problem.

You're not
a team player.

I got a bulletin
for you, Otto--

wrestling is
not a team sport.

Vvhen you're fighting
someone faster than you,

there's not much a
team can do for you.

Come on, louden, you're
never going to make it.

Even Otto
can't do that.

Oh, I could do it.

I love you, Carla!

Aren't you going to
be late for school, son?

I'm working
on my article.

What part
of the body?

Clitoris.

That's kind of a female
thing, isn't it?

Yeah, but it's homologous
with the male penis.

Are you sure
that's a proper subject

for a school paper?

Pop, this is
the 20th century.

I'm speechless.

You've broken
new ground here, louden.

This is
professional stuff.

We are going to drag
this dinky school paper

right into
the 20th century.

Where do you
get your ideas?

I've been thinking a lot
about that stuff lately.

Oh! We're going to
make history here!

What a blast to
the first amendment.

First, they shut
down the press

and imprison
the intellectuals.

I loved your piece
on the clitoris.

I showed it
to my mother!

Hey, elmo.

Yeah?

What do you know
about the clitoris?

Well, I don't know what
it looks like exactly,

but I kind of know
where it's at...Sort of.

It's an incredible piece
of equipment, considering.

you think if i
called up shute...

Tonight,

he'd come down
to the hotel

and vvrestle me in one
of the banquet rooms?

I don't knovv if I can
hack it much longer.

You could
just forget it.

You don't have
to wrestle him.

It ain't
written anywhere.

It's my iron.
I'm low on iron.

Has this ever
happened before?

No, never.

Do me a favor.

Walk home tonight
like a normal person.

I need this now,
man.

First, I faint. Novv i
can't hold my blood.

You going to
tell coach?

No. If you tell him,
i swear I'll kill you.

I wouldn't tell him.

You think I'd tell him
something like that?

I don't
tell him nothing.

I don't say nothing

Aren't you ever going

What do you care
whether I do or not?

Vvait a minute. I think i
missed something somevvhere.

I heard you fainted
in school.

I was worried
about you.

We had a nice
conversation,

and you act like
I'm an intrusion.

You heard I fainted?

Tanneran told you.

He told you
everything I said.

We talked about you.

He says you're
very sensitive.

I don't see that
in you.

Unless you want to see more
than you bargained for,

you better beat it.

I've seen
naked men before.

Yeah, I bet you have.

Would you stop
playing this number?

Just because
I'm staying here--

you want me to go?

Do what you want!

What do you
want from me?

You're fucking tanneran!
Why don't you fuck me?

Aah! Son of a bitch!

Don't you ever
try that again!

I choose who
I'm going to be with

and what
I'm going to do.

I'll never be with
any foulmouthed kid jock

who thinks a stiff cock
is the height of romance.

Part of being a man,
asshole,

is knowing
what a woman wants

and respecting that.

Part of being a kid

is you could say
something really stupid

and still not get your faced
ripped off for saying it.

How's your nose?

It's all right.
I'm just low on iron.

Yeah, you ought to
eat more spinach.

I'm sorry, ok?

You're
a shitty-ass baby!

Whatever you say,

You think that
you're hot shit!

You think that you
can wrestle, don't you?

But you can't wrestle!

Whatever you say,
dad.

You can't do anything
because you're a bum.

Whatever you say,
dad.

You ain't got the balls
to fight an old man?

You ain't got the balls

You're just like

You god damn punk!

My old lady's already

They either dry her
out, or she dies.

My, uh, my ma,

she ran off with
a guy who sells glassware--

bowls, pitchers,
candleholders and shit.

Terrific, huh?

I figure all this is
just the first period.

Pretty soon we'll be
in control of our lives.

What lives, man?

This is my last
wrestling season.

I'll be in
the fucking Navy

this time next year.

Come on, kuch, man.

You're going to be
the first Indian president.

Sure, except
for one thing--

lain't
no fucking Indian.

It's just shit

A lot of people

Come on, man.
Stop crying.

I'm lousy

Who's crying?

Fuck you if you

Come on, you guys!

For visiting
Thompson high school

at 178 pounds,

louden swain.

Shake hands, gentlemen.

Nice hair, man.

Real cute, swain.

This isn't

This is

No more unnecessary
roughness.

Drive him down!

1 point, escape,

Louden!
Louden!

Go, hey, go!

B00! B00! B00! B00!

Caution, green.
False start.

Take your positions.

Caution on Louis Smith

Hold it, hold it.
My time. My time!

Ok, let's
take a look.

Coach!

A medical time-out called

Got punched?

No. He didn't

No way.

You'll have to

What? I'm way

Hey!

It's over!

B00!
B00!

Get off!
It's over!

Medical default

the win.

You didn't
win nothing!

Come on!
Right now, assholes!

I'll wrestle you
right now!

Good match, Dewey.

You got a problem, man.

I got a lot of
problems. So what?

You can't
hold your mud.

You're a bleeder,

and I like
to see blood.

Yeah? How about
your own?

60 seconds on the mat,
you're dog meat.

Forget the mat.
I'm ready.

Louden.

You'll never
be ready for me.

I'm ready for you now.

What's holding
you back?

Come on, you guys.
Knock it off.

I'm going to let you
sweat it, wimp.

Who the hell is that?

Shute.

He's trying
to psych me out.

Yeah, I see
what you mean.

I didn't expect
to see you here.

Well, your dad
finally fixed up my car.

I'll give you a lift home,

unless you'd rather go
on the bus.

I think you've got
this shute guy worried.

Why else would he
be here?

He's the one who's
sweating it out.

Aren't you starving?

Yeah, but I'm
used to it by now.

First time I've ever went
to a wrestling match.

It wasn't what I expected.

I guess I expected
some macho violence trip,

but it was all right,
you know?

Guess I just
didn't understand.

Do you have to go?

You can be
an artist anyplace,

even here.

I don't like
to think

about you being
someplace else.

Louden...

Your dad says you're going to
get a vvrestling scholarship.

He says you've got
a good future.

That's the first time you
ever called me louden.

I want you
to know something.

I don't care if you're
making it vvith tanneran.

It's none
of my business.

Tanneran's a great guy,
to tell the truth.

He could've played
pro basketball.

If I was a girl,

I'd probably be making it
for a guy like tanneran.

I'm crazy about
the guy myself,

in a normal
sort of way.

You nearly finished?

Yeah. Why?

Don't dog it, man.

Shute does 200
of these things

with his old man
on his back.

Ever see
shute's old man?

174.

How are
you feeling?

I feel fine.

Honest.

It'll happen. It's
bigger than both of us.

Some detergent.

Watch.

Paying
attention?

Ta-da!

Aw.

Shit.

Shit.

Oh, god.

Put your head back.

I think it's
stopped now.

I've turned into
a real bleeder.

You've just been
training too hard.

Look at your clothes.
They're hanging off you.

I want you to take
this weekend off.

Go visit your grandpa.

I've been worried
about him anyway.

I'd love to see him,

but I can't
start sloughing off now.

The match is Tuesday,

and I still got
2 1/2 pounds to go.

Where's grandpa?

He's got a little
place in the vvoods.

He hasn't been
feeling well.

I'd go myself, but I've
got a job intervievv.

I'll go with you.

I get a kick
out of old people.

Well...L could work out
a little up there,

and then there's
always Monday.

This is my...

Traveling music tape.

I listen to it

and pretend I'm rolling
through a strange town

on some terrific
rendezvous with destiny.

You want some tea?

You come prepared.

I'm just waiting
for the day

some millionaire
will get a flat.

I'll change his tire
and pour him tea.

He'll pay my way
through college.

He'll hit you
on the head,

and you'll wake up

with an asshole the size
of the Lincoln tunnel.

God.

What a realist.

I'm depressed.

N' well, she got up
every mornin' h'

h' and she waited
in the cold h'

n' got on the stinkin'
yellow school bus h'

h' and did what
she was told n'

h' and she stared
out the window n'

h' all the way
down to high school h'

n' she went
to home economics h'

h' just like all
the other girls n'

n' studied
chicken a la king n'

h' and peanut
butter swirls h'

h' but she knew
in her heart n'

n' had to be something better
somewhere n'

h' well, the boys
in the school h'

n' they was just
a bunch of fools n'

n' and they acted like
a bunch of dad-gum fools h'

n' but she went out
with this guy n'

h' 'cause you know a girl h'

n' has got
to do somethin' h'

n' showed her
pictures of his car... h'

do you ever
stop working out?

You know,
there's a nice thing

about working out
all the time.

You have a lot of
nocturnal emissions.

You mean
like wet dreams?

It's a great way
to wake up.

I always have
this one dream,

and there's
this girl--

what girl?

I don't know.

Just some girl.

This your idea
of turning me on?

No, of course not.

Is it
turning you on?

Maybe.

Really?

Maybe not.

Want to know
what turns me on?

If you don't mind.

Hands.

Really big hands,

the kind that
when they hold you,

you really feel held,

like nothing
can sneak up on you.

There's a gas station
up ahead.

Right there?

You still cold?

Mm-mmm.

It's beautiful here.

Yeah, it is.

Carla, if I tell you
something about myself,

will you promise
not to laugh?

It might help explain
something about myself.

Ok.

Then again,
it might not.

I'm still a virgin.

I could've done it vvhen
i vvas in eighth grade.

Five of us were in
this guy's basement,

taking turns
on his sister,

vvho vvas crazy about
the idea, by the vvay.

Her name
was Mary Ann.

I don't know, I...

I couldn't do it.

I felt sorry
for her.

I was also
scared to death,

if you got to
know the truth.

I don't know why it's
so embarrassing for me.

Is it so terrible
for a guy my age

to still be a virgin?

Does it make him
a queer or what?

Of course it doesn't
make you a queer.

It doesn't
make you anything

except what
you are already,

which isn't half bad,
if you want my opinion.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Did you know that
sexual intercourse

burns up 200 calories
a shot, by the vvay?

That's one way
to look at it.

I want to
tell you something

even if it is none
of your damn business.

I never
fucked tanneran.

We just like
each other's company.

I make him laugh.

He makes me think.

We're like friends--

kind to each other.

Well?

Nothing. I just find
it hard to believe.

Yeah, well, that's
what makes you a kid,

not that you've
never been laid.

Getting laid
counts for nothing.

Sure,
if you're a girl.

If you're a boy,

it counts for just
about everything.

Good night, louden.

Good night, Carla.

There's my grandpa.

They give me these things
at the vets'.

Spoils of trench warfare.

They don't seem to
slow you down much.

Oh, hell, no.

I can hunt, fish, hike
in the god damn mountains,

I just take these along.

Might even feel like
doing some wrestling.

Find yourself some Indian
vvoman to vvrestle vvith.

Alls you do
is beat me up.

This is my year
to be a hero.

Pop vvants you to live
vvith us in spokane.

Tell your dad
thanks for the offer.

I told him
you wouldn't.

City's all right

if you need
what it's got there.

I got everything
i need right he--

got my guns,
my fishing poles,

these medihalers
to suck on.

Grandpa, I'm glad i

Your grandpa's
a great old guy.

when he was younger.

Pop always says
i take after him.

I'm going
to miss him.

I'm going to miss
everything.

I already do.

You have
a lifetime left.

Why waste it missing
what's already gone?

Does seem morbid,
doesn't it?

I can't help it,
though.

Somebody ought to
put me away.

Just think of all the vvonderful
vvorld you haven't seen yet.

Hovv can I think about
it if I haven't seen it?

What about wrestling,
college, and stuff?

What about
vision quests...

And all the girls
you'll make love with?

Name one.

Ah! Hey! You're in

I can't remember why
i started all that.

Think. Maybe it'll
all come back to you.

I must've
been crazy,

temporarily insane
or something.

Louden, you can't
give up because of this.

You'll never
forgive yourself...

Or me.

I was all right,

Anything.
You know that.

Make the weight.

Get on the mat

See it through the vvay
you alvvays planned to.

Is that all
you want from me?

Ok, for tomorrow,
read Emerson's essays

on self-reliance
and the over-soul.

I want to know
how these ideas apply

to modern-day spokane

and the people who
spend their days here.

Thank you.

Mr. tanneran.

Hey, louden.

Thank you.

For what?

For being
a terrific teacher.

Hey, what can I say?

And not sticking it
to Carla

like I thought
you were.

See, I just vvant everybody
to knovv hovv I feel,

in case
tomorrow night

I end up getting mangled and
paralyzed from my eyeballs dovvn.

You know something,
louden?

For the first time,

I'm starting to vvorry
about that other guy.

Ok, fellas
let's circle it up.

Ready.

Go!

Beat shut e'.!

N' n o in?

Kuch, where's louden?

I don't know, coach.

He'll be here.

Yeah, who is it?

Hey, elmo, it's louden.

Hey, come in, kid.

I'm getting dressed.

I was at the hotel.

They told me you
took the night off.

I thought you were
sick or something.

Of course I took
the night off, dummy.

Isn't this the night
you wrestle shute?

You took the night
off for that?

Yeah. Shaved, got a
haircut and everything.

You never took
a night off

to see me
wrestle before.

They'll dock you
for that.

Hey, kid, money
ain't everything.

It's not
that big a deal.

It's six lousy
minutes on the mat.

You ever hear
of pele?

Yeah. He's
a soccer player.

A very famous
soccer player.

I was in the room
here one day,

watching the Mexican
channel on TV.

I don't know nothing
about pele.

I'm vvatching vvhat he does
vvith a ball and his feet.

Next thing I know,

he jumps up in the air

and flips into a somersault

and kicks the ball in
upside-down and backwards.

The god damn goalie
never knew what hit him.

Pele gets excited,
and he rips off his Jersey

and starts running
around the stadium,

waving it around
over his head.

Everybody's screaming
in Spanish.

I'm here sitting
alone in my room...

And I start crying.

Yeah, that's right.
I start crying...

Because
another human being,

a species which
i happen to belong to,

can kick a ball...

And lift himself...

And the rest of us
sad-ass human beings

up to a better place,
if only for a minute.

Let me tell you, kid.

It was pretty
god damn glorious.

It ain't
the six minutes.

It's what happens
in that six minutes.

Anyway, that's why
I'm getting dressed up

and giving up a night's pay
for this function.

Hoover 101 -pounder?

Step on the scale,
please.

Good.

We got to go

Vision quest, man.

I don't even know

You don't have to.

You here alone?

Good. I was afraid
I'd see 20 bare-ass boys.

Did you make the weight?

You just
took off.

You didn't even
say goodbye.

If I hadn't,
you wouldn't even be here.

You were ready
to forget it.

What should I say,
thank you?

I don't want you
to say anything.

I just think people should
do vvhat they set out to do.

Do you?

Louden, I didn't
mean to hurt you.

I never wanted
to do that.

I just didn't know
how to say goodbye.

So goodbye.

Carla.

I'd do it all again.

So would I.

I think a lot about

and the time I spent
with Carla that season.

Kuch had it right.

It was a vision quest.

We're born to live
and then to die.

We got to do it alone,
each in his own way.

That's why we ought to
love those people

who deserve it

right down to it,

there isn't.
