Fighting Page #5

I'm sorry, okay?

No.

No, no.

Get out of my house.

Grab your garbage

and go. Okay?

Okay.

Hey, there,

Ms. Florence.

Dog's got a demon in it.

Demons.

You know, I gave you

a place to stay, Shawn,

'cause that's

what you needed.

It was a place to stay, it didn't

have any of this other stuff.

I understand that.

You saw that picture I showed

you of Martinez and Jack and me?

I didn't say I was

gonna go with him.

I had a whole

lot then, Shawn.

He broke my leg for $100.

That's crazy, right?

$100.

All I was saying is,

I wanted to win.

That's it,

that's all I wanted.

It's funny, you lose

one step in this game

and everybody leaves you.

At one point, there was

a whole lot of people

that would put a whole

lot of money on me.

You really think you

can beat this kid, huh?

I hear he's fierce,

you know?

'Cause if you lose,

you get nothing.

You win, you get...

You get $30,000.

Hmm.

Okay.

Okay, we'll do it.

Hi.

Hey, sweetie.

Hi.

Hi.

How are you?

So what are you

doing here?

Waiting for you

the whole time.

That's a man, bro.

You're a man?

Hell, no.

Sit.

Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Z, fold this up.

Harvey, you know you got no

business in a place like this, right?

Come on, Shawn.

Sh*t!

Holy sh*t!

Yeah! Yeah!

Get out of there!

Get out!

Pick his ass up!

Come on! Get up!

Yeah! Yeah!

There it is!

Yeah!

Yo, Shawn, get up.

We won!

Yeah, baby! We won!

Get up, get up, yeah!

No more deliveries tonight, man. You!

Your man

got knocked out!

What, baby! That's us!

What! You saw that!

You saw that! That's us!

Yeah, baby!

Well, looks like

Harvey's got a winner.

That's us, baby,

all the way!

Get out of the car...

No, no.

I'm proud of you.

You put the works on

Bruce Lee, though, man!

I got to give

it to you.

Get out of my car.

Come on, Harv. Let me out.

Come on,

Harvey, let's go.

Let's get a drink,

Harvey.

Aren't you going

to have one?

No, I don't want to. Go, it's

your night, have a good night.

Man, it's raining,

come on.

I'm going to go home and

count my money. Leave me alone.

All right, grandpa.

Don't get in no trouble.

I'm serious, though.

Come on, serious.

Come in, just have one.

I ain't got nothing, go.

Thanks for tonight.

Thanks, Renee,

I appreciate it.

Yes, sir.

Please tell me you're not still

putting money in your sock.

What'd your father

used to call that?

Niggerish, that's what

it was, right?

So this is who you hanging

out with these days, Shawn?

These your boys?

Saw you step out your fancy

stretch limousine there.

What, did you all pass

around a hat to get that?

Take up a collection?

You know, the only enjoyment

I got back in college, Shawn,

was watching

your a**hole father

humiliate your sh*t

all over the place.

Really?

Until your b*tch-ass cold-clocked

him in front of the whole gym.

Come on!

I'm right here!

Do something!

I'm right here!

Shawn! Look at me!

Like your b*tch-ass daddy.

Shawn, Shawn,

what are you doing?

I ain't your father.

You can't go to

a club and have fun.

That's right. I'm cool.

I'll see you around.

Let's get out of here.

It's ridiculous. I don't

even... I can't stand him.

I just... It's not late.

This guy's always putting

these notes on people's doors.

It's not late,

though. Sorry.

It's okay.

I hit you with

the door. So...

This is my living room.

I have to go and check

on Lila, so have a seat.

It's nice, right?

It's really nice.

Thank you.

Big TV.

It is, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Hi, I'm Shawn.

I'm Zulay's friend.

She brought

me over to...

Zulay. Zulay.

What happened?

This is...

I'm sorry, this is...

This is Shawn.

Shawn, this is...

I don't care

who is he.

I care why you bring anybody

at this time to the house.

He look like

a criminal.

I know...

You're not supposed to bring

nobody at this time to the house.

I'm sorry... Don't be sorry.

Don't do that to me no more.

Okay?

Please,

don't say "por favor."

I don't want to hear nobody

in the house at this time.

Hi. What are you

doing up this late?

What's that?

My pink bunny.

Sorry. What are

you doing up?

My grandma thinks

you killed someone.

He didn't kill somebody.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Why are you up, baby?

LILA:
I want to see

the scary man.

I hear that I'm gonna

cook for you.

I'm gonna do it, but as soon as

you eat, please, you got to go.

Okay?

Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.

Look at the way you are.

Look at you.

Please, it's okay.

I'm sorry, actually, you

know what? Look at you. Look!

You know what?

I need some thread.

What a shirt.

I'm going to

fix it for him.

I'm gonna take a needle and do some job.

That way he don't

gotta stay like that.

You don't feel bad?

I do.

What kind of men look

like that on the street?

Thank you so

much for the...

Come on, no. Back.

Back, let's go back.

LILA:
I don't want

to go to bed.

Let's go back,

back to sleep.

Mmm-hmm.

Uh-huh?

Shawn has something

he wants to tell you.

What?

I don't understand what you

talk. Talk English, Spanish?

Okay.

She's wide awake.

This is going good.

I don't know, so... Hey, that

notice that was on your door,

everything all right?

Like, if you...

You know,

if you need anything.

Just let me know.

So...

That guy, Evan, from

the club, you know him?

Yeah. I mean,

yeah, I know him.

How do you know him?

Well, I don't, I just...

People were talking about

him at the club all night.

I guess he's a pro or something?

What, does he fight? A boxer?

Yeah, I mean,

a couple, you know,

the guys at the club

or whatever,

we just came back

from this...

You know, it's not a

professional thing, but...

Out in, like, you know,

Korea land,

we just came

from a fight, too.

You know,

it went pretty well.

So you're a fighter?

No, I mean, yeah.

But not professional. Just,

you know... I don't know...

I got this guy, he's an

agent/coach sort of thing.

I mean, it's been going

pretty good, though.

What?

I don't know.

So how do you know all

those guys at the club?

I don't. I...

I don't even know

your name, really.

What's your name?

Your last name?

MacArthur.

Shawn MacArthur. Like

a knight. I like it.

What are you

thinking about?

So...

Simple as that.

I can fix this for you.

Hmm?

I want to fix

this for you.

It's not so bad.

You want to fix it?

Mmm-hmm.

I want to kiss you.

Come on...

Why are you shaking?

Because I lied about

being able to sew.

It looks like

you're doing a good job.

Look at that mess.

Wow, I am shaking.

Wait, come here for a second.

Give me your finger.

Make a wish.

I got mine,

you got yours?

Mmm-hmm.

I do.

Excuse me! You got to go.

I'm sorry. I know.

Enough is enough.

Please go.

Yes, ma'am.

I believe it's enough

for today.

You can meet

later today.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

Just a second to say bye.

No second. Come in.

You come in.

Thank you so much, Mrs.

Valez, I appreciate it.

I'm no Mrs. Valez,

I'm Mrs. Guzman. Okay?

And you got to go. Go.

Give me one second
