and got no teamwork skills.

NO more, my man, HO more.

We are watching

the dawning of a new day!

The Dream just destroyed it!

Big ups to

those American boys.

Now, I don't know

if the judges

are gonna put them

in the final four,

but they deserve to

go to the final four.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

So, Rickie, some of

the world's greatest b-boys

are competing for bragging

rights and national pride here

at the Battle of

the Year championship.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Hey, the scores are in!

I got the final four

in my hot hands.

Check this, check this.

Okay, Battle of the Year,

number one seed from Korea!

Seoul Assassins!

Second seed is from...

France!

Number three seed...

from Germany!

Okay...

Last, but not least...

...the US of A!

DANTE:
So, a toast

to the judges

whose jaws all hit

the ground when they saw

you guys perform today.

Good job, fellas.

Cheers.

That's right.

Cheers.

What?

Oh, my God.

Hey.

(ALL APPLAUDING)

Where's the baby?

With my mom.

Coach.

Meet Jolene.

Hi. So nice

to meet you.

Pleasure. Welcome to France.

Thanks.

Where'd you get

the ticket?

We all chipped in.

Consider it a honeymoon.

Look at that.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

TERRENCE". Once again, it's on.

The Americans and the Germans

have made it to the final four.

Left Bank

versus the Dream for the right to battle

the reigning champion.

Yeah!

Sway, why don't we break down the

scoring system for our viewers at home?

Now, we have five judges representing

various countries here tonight.

Each judge scores on

a scale of one to 10,

which means

a perfect score is 50.

Incredible.

The Dream is all over them.

Wow, Left Bank is

looking desperate now, T.

Come on!

And there it is,

Terrence!

The Dream Team wins. They're

going to the final battle.

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

The Americans really did it.

They will compete in the finals

against the highly favored Koreans.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The American crew just left the

stage and I have no words.

SWAY:
For the first

time in 15 years,

the Americans have a chance to bring

home a b-boy world championship

back to American soil

where it all began.

Why is everyone looking

so nervous right now?

We got what we

asked for, right?

Us against the Koreans?

And now the entire

world is looking at us,

which, if you ask me, that's

how it's supposed to be.

I mean, who created

this whole b-boy thing?

We did.

Who?

We did!

Exactly.

I mean, our generation may have

kicked this whole thing off,

but torch is in

your hands now.

So, really only

one thing left to do.

Bring the crown

home where it belongs.

Can we do that?

Yes, sir.

I said, can we do that?

Yes, sir!

That's what I'm talking about.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Two minutes, Dream Team.

Breathe, gentlemen.

Not that much

left to say.

They're expecting

ugly Americans out there.

Let's show 'em

who we really are.

Act like champions.

ALL:
Be champions!

Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen.

The moment you've all

been waiting for is here!

So we got, from Korea,

please give it up for

the Seoul Assassins!

And from the US of A,

Dream Team!

All right!

One, two, three!

Let the battle begin!

We got this! We got this!

Let's go! Come on!

And here we go.

The Battle of the Year is on.

Kid and Rebel, they know

how to bring the pain.

Come on, boys!

Yeah!

Korea counters

with a monster combo.

Absolutely incredible.

See, this is why the Koreans

are considered unbeatable.

Yeah!

Man, that doesn't even seem

humanly possible.

Seoul Assassins

are killing it.

Okay-

Flawless synchronization.

Sick moves!

These guys have no fear.

This is a battle

for world supremacy.

Damn!

Oh, my God, they're ripping

up the floorboards!

The Dream Team's

battling out of their minds,

and the crowd is loving it.

Go! Come on!

Fuel calls out Do Knock!

Fuel is calling for

the best of the best.

Fuel unleashes

a series of lethal moves!

You're watching a world-class

athlete at the top of his game.

That kind of power

move is mind-boggling.

Yeah!

Do Knock!

Yeah, Do Knock!

Do Knock answers

with one-handed rollbacks!

Back and forth, Sway.

They're going blow

for blow right now.

TJ, for the first time,

the Assassins seem

to be on their heels!

They're giving it everything they

have, but time is winding down.

Oh!

Oh, baby, the US strikes...

Yes!

...with a devastating move!

Korea strikes back

with an aerial assault!

Electric,

incredible, fantastic!

Who won?

That right there was,

pound for pound,

the best battle I've

ever seen in my life!

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

They have given absolutely everything

on the stage. Their heart...

...their souls are on the

stage just now.

CROWD:
(CHANTING)

USA!USA!USA!

Who will bring home the crown of

Battle of the Year world champion?

I can't believe what I saw!

Did you see that?

What the hell?

I really can't tell

who the winner is, man. You?

This is gonna be close.

I don't know, I don't know.

Yo, man, judges'

scores are in!

Seoul Assassins

by one point.

Terrence,

the Koreans win!

Damn.

One point.

One goddamn point.

Well, gentlemen,

here we are.

I want you to know something.

I don't give a damn

what that scoreboard says

or what color the medal

is they give you.

Proud of all of you.

Come on, Coach, you don't

have to sugar-coat it for us.

We didn't accomplish

what we came to do.

I wouldn't do that, Sniper.

Look, fellas,

all my life, I've had to

consider myself a fortunate man.

I don't know, things just

kind of went my way.

All that changed

two years ago.

I lost my wife, 15-year-old

boy in a car wreck.

And when I lost my family,

I lost my way.

I don't know, I just...

Well, I quit living.

You've all heard me

say a million times,

"Change how you think,

change your life. "

Fact is,

you've changed

the way I think.

You've changed my life.

First day of training,

I had one goal,

teach a crew

how to be a team.

We became much

more than that.

We became a family.

Something I thought

I'd lost forever.

And win or lose,

gentlemen,

when you got family

nothing else matters.

But it wasn't supposed

to end like this, Coach.

It's not the ending,

Do Knock.

It's the beginning.

Wait.

You coming back

next year, Coach?

You kidding me?

We did all this work

to come in second?

Second sucks.

(ALL LAUGH)

Damn right.

Come on, let's

huddle up one more time.

On three.

One, two, three!

ALL:
Dream Team!

(KOREAN NATIONAL

ANTHEM PLAYING)

ROOSTER:
Do we have to

watch that whole thing?

STACY:
No.

Yeah, Roo's right.

Take it off.

Hey, you guys needed me. If I

was there, we would have won.

Once an a**hole,

always an a**hole.

I'm just saying.

Are you for real?

This guy, man.

Second place, there's nothing wrong with it.

It's just second place.

Guys, tell him what

we think about second.

ALL:
Second sucks.

(LAUGHS)

It sure does.

I still wish I could have

been there, though, man.

You can be. How much time you

got left on those crutches?
