Here Comes The Boom Page #6

---

Come on, close the gap, buddy!

Come on, Scott.

Tie him up!

That just happened!

That just happened!

Yeah! Yeah!

You did it!

You! You the man!

Yeah!

Yeah! We won!

Hey, man, great fight.

I'm so sorry.

Who leaves applesauce

on the rear dash,

out in the hot sun?

You know, better question,

who among us who isn't Amish

makes their own applesauce?

Yes. Yes.

Mistakes were made.

But... We won.

- We did it.

- Huh?

We won. We won.

Mmm-hmm. We did.

Yeah. Yeah!

We won.

We won!

We did it.

It's unbelievable!

Yeah!

Oh, careful, Niko!

I'm sore! I'm sore!

Oh, my God.

Oh, here he comes.

Here he comes.

Okay, everybody,

just take your seats.

Can you keep it down?

Can you keep it down?

Malia.

Just come here.

What's going on?

You're famous.

What?

Everybody in the music

department is talking about it.

Mr. Streb told us that

you were doing this for us.

And I got to say,

you're a hero.

Hero?

It's not sprained.

It's just a bruise.

Good, 'cause I

gotta fight tomorrow.

I'm going to have to

start charging you.

So,

how much money

have you made so far?

Three grand.

I'm definitely going to

have to start charging you.

Speaking of which...

What's this?

$72 from my bake sale.

I had to do something.

This is amazing. Thank you.

I got to give it to you.

It's been a long time

since I felt any kind

of energy in this school.

Yeah?

Yeah. I don't understand

how we got so far off track.

We?

It's not our fault.

It's the system.

Go easy.

Oh, so it's the system

that's creating teachers

who just don't care.

Oh, come on.

You know the deal.

You can't speed up to

help the gifted kids.

You can't slow down to

help the slower ones.

It's about moving

cattle through, you know?

It's a numbers game.

That's what they want,

but what about you?

Yeah, look, there was a time

I couldn't wait for

the school year to start.

I was like a... A freshman

decorating my dorm.

You know, I'd put posters

up all over the place

and I'd set up

these plastic models.

No, you didn't.

I did! I would jump up

on the desk just to

get the kids into it.

It was so stupid.

No, it's not.

I think I would have liked you

better when you were that stupid.

All right, well, look,

I need to repay you

for all this right here,

and I think this equals dinner

at my house on Friday.

No, I don't think so.

Why do you always turn me down?

Do you know there's a lunch

lady who's got the hots for me?

And I'm just telling you, I can

only hold her off for so long.

Do you even know

that every time

you've asked me out,

you've done it from

a seated position?

You don't even make

an effort to get up.

That's because we're

so comfortable together.

I think, when it's easy,

it's right, you know?

Good-bye, Scott.

All right.

How about a little jambalaya?

What do you think? Oh, I get nothing?

All right.

Okay, push now.

Blocking fast, like, lower.

Here, over here.

That's good. See?

There. Little lower.

Just block lower, man.

All right, hey.

All right, come on, man.

This is still defense.

I want to start working

on my offense.

It's too dangerous.

I won!

You landed a lucky shot.

All right, look.

I know you don't want me

getting hurt. I get that.

But I made twice as much

money my last fight.

I don't think my body

can take 30 more fights.

Yeah.

I'm just saying, if I could actually

win a few more, I could fight less.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Okay. Well, then you need

to get good at striking.

Fast.

Yes.

I know the best guy

for that, but...

He probably won't take you.

This isn't you

learning anything.

This isn't me

teaching you anything.

This is me seeing if

you're worth my time.

Is it hot in here?

I cranked the heat to 90.

This way,

you get a nice sweat going.

You good with that?

Oh, yeah, no.

Really brings out the smell of the place.

Oh, yeah. Good.

Which guy am I fighting?

Both.

Come on,

I can't fight two guys.

That's perfect.

I can't train a 42-year-old

biology teacher.

Your boy is good,

but he's got no offense, man.

You know, he's a wrestler,

and he picks up fast,

and he's tough.

They're all smiling.

Everybody's smiling and happy.

Mel, time to eat.

Go have some fun.

Whoa. This is going to be funny.

Boom!

Three? Really?

Hey, am I good outside?

I'm parked outside here.

Yeah, you got two hours.

Yeah? All right.

Yeah, those are hits.

Come on, give him a break.

All right, boys, that's good.

I'm good, man.

Let's go.

Come on.

Boom, there we go.

Guys.

Hey, guys, guys, listen up.

Listen up.

I got something to say.

From Genesis 32:
24.

"And when he saw, he prevailed

not against him."

Jacob was tough, man.

He wrestled all night

with God at Pentel.

He was tired, he was beaten.

He had a dislocated hip.

But he refused to submit.

By sunrise, he had

won the Lord's respect.

Well, tonight, Scott...

Oh, yeah.

...you earned our respect.

And then some.

I just want you to

know I got your back.

Whoop, whoop,

whoop! Salud.

Let's eat, boys.

That Superman Punch, Mel,

that was awesome.

Yeah, that was crazy.

What's the matter? You don't

like my wife's cooking?

I can't lift my arms.

Can you move it?

Not much.

I can go, like, to right about there.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it. Right there, yeah.

You're sure?

I can't even move it past that.

You dislocated your shoulder.

You have to go to the hospital.

Last time I went

to the hospital,

it actually cost me more

than I made in the fight,

so you got to help me.

But I would have to reset it.

Look, whatever you got to do,

then make it happen.

All right. All right.

Okay, you got to go

easy first. No, no, no.

Okay.

Foot not going there.

All right, all right.

No, you're right. You're right.

I just got to find

the right angle over here.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Come on.

Okay, okay, you're

going to be all right.

You're going to be all right.

You can't go above.

Okay, okay,

that's past the level

that I just said

I can't go, though, okay?

Geez!

I'm sorry. Don't worry.

You're going to be all right.

Okay.

You're going to be okay. Okay.

Okay.

Now, I just got to get in here.

Easy, okay?

I have to get in there.

That hurts.

All right?

You ready?

Yeah.

Always wanted to try this.

Try this? What do you mean?

You've never done this...

Are you okay?

Oh, my...

Are you okay?

It's back in, I think.

Oh!

I did it! I did it!

I was a little worried,

but I did it.

Oh, I'm good, I'm good.

That was fun, no?

No.

A little jambalaya

for mama? No?

No, get away... Get away

from me, you crazy woman.

Good night, Scott.

Voss.

My office. Now.

Come on in.

Close the door.

Sit down.

I'd like you to meet Malia's

father, Mr. De La Cruz.

How are you?

Who the hell do you

think you are, Mr. Voss?

Telling my daughter

to disobey me?

I didn't say that.

I said... I said that...

And is it true

you're getting paid to fight?

It's Mixed Martial Arts.

What's this all about?

It's about our teachers not

promoting dangerous situations.
