You must be exhausted, right?

Oh, no.

You know, one time I drove all the way

from Tijuana to Vancouver...

...without so much as stopping

to take a leak.

Oh, hell, that reminds me too.

There we go. Mind knocking the lid off that

for me, sugar?

Yeah. Ain't that a little dangerous,

driving that far?

Yeah, there you go.

-Oh, that's pee. That's pee!

-Yeah. I appreciate it.

Yeah, well,

that one got a little heat rash on it.

Either your Spanish sucks

or you set me up.

-Oh, you're not as dumb as I thought.

-What is your problem, lady?

-You've been nothing but cold to me.

-I don't trust you.

And that big guy up front,

I love him like a brother.

If anything happens, Sister Francesca

will be the least of your problems.

You know what,

you're becoming a real pain in the--

All right, all right, no mas.

Stop doing that.

Can you move, Wilbur?

All ashore that's going ashore.

Get back in the dang truck!

Oh, boy.

-Back in the truck. Back in the truck.

-Not you, them. Go, go, go.

This way. Run.

Move it.

Milton?

-Hello?

-It's about time you showed up, Sullivan.

I got a business to run here.

-Mad Milton, this is my fighter, Walter.

-What's up, dawg?

What's with the skirt?

It's his mother, Mary.

-Oh, nice to meet you, Milton.

-Nice to meet you too, sweet cheeks.

Sweet cheeks? Really?

Where do you find these people?

Listen, this is a firm 200, right?

Minus the vig

you still owe me from last time.

Hey, I paid you back.

Hey, you know the deal.

Now get your fighter ready.

We got a hard-out here at 6 sharp.

-Six o'clock, I got it.

-Good.

Thanks.

All right, sit down.

No, no, no.

Been there, done that.

Put your pants back on.

Am I hallucinating?

It's like Lord ofthe Flies out there.

What is going on?

Would you relax?

This is perfectly normal.

Keep him company.

I'm gonna check out the competition.

-Relax.

-"Perfectly normal."

What's up, Jim? What's up, yo?

Let me be your manager. Call me.

All right, everybody, calm it down...

...because we have the final fight

coming up next.

But once it is over, I do not need anyone

leaving their trash in my yard, okay?

I don't need no trash in my yard.

Especially you, fat boy Dennis, okay?

Do you hear me?

Get your fat butt up and clean up

my mama's petunias.

All right, Walter.

It's time to get your head in the game.

This guy you're gonna fight...

...he's a bad man.

What do you mean, a bad man?

What the hell is going on back here?

My dad's home early. You're in trouble.

He's mean to women and children

and he does it for fun.

I don't want this going on

in my back yard.

Get out of there right now.

You all need to have a little respect here.

Now, the world is looking for a hero...

...to step in and put an end

to his reign of terror.

You can be that hero, Walter.

-I can be that hero?

-Yes.

You can be the hero.

I want y'all out of here now.

You got 10 seconds to get out of my yard

before I call the cops.

Ten, nine....

He might be yelling,

he might be screaming "help."

I don't care if he's foaming

at the mouth.

You destroy this guy

before he even knows what hit him!

Now what's it gonna be?

Are you gonna let this monster win?

No!

Your reign of terror is over.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

This is all my fault.

It's not your fault.

Well, it is your fault, but I'll be fine.

They were just sending a message,

is all.

That message is

"do not enter the pro-am tournament."

Hey, could I get a little privacy here,

please?

Look. Pop, look, I know

you don't have medical insurance, okay?

I can be back by tomorrow morning.

I'll keep the gym open, you know,

somehow, for as long as--

No, no, no.

Eddie, no.

Now, you listen to me, son.

You listen to me carefully.

There is only one way out of this.

You got to enter

that pro-am tournament...

...and you got to win it.

You avenge me, son.

You avenge me.

Is everything okay, Mr. Sullivan?

Guys. Guys.

-Are you sure, Pop?

-I got to go.

Pop?

Are you ready for your sponge bath?

Dear Henry,

the trip's been amazing so far.

Learning a lot.

Met some really interesting Jews.

Mostly nice.

Passed through Louisville

and saw Colonel Sanders' grave...

...and the birthplace of the cheeseburger.

Awesome.

The countryside is beautiful.

We got a firsthand look at it

when we blew up the bus.

More on that later.

Move it, fatty. So, what I was saying,

there was this girl....

Hang in there, buddy, and tell all the kids

I'm gonna make things right.

Your pal, Walter.

-ls everything okay?

-Everything's fine.

What about with us, Eddie?

I have a responsibility to those kids.

We don't have any money,

transportation.

How about you try to focus

on something that isn't so obvious?

Okay. Where--? What are you doing?

Unless you have a plan, make yourself

comfortable. We'll sleep here.

What?

Well, hello, love.

See? Making friends already.

Not for me. And certainly not for Walter.

Come on, baby. See, he just wants

to talk to you for a minute.

Oh, yeah.

No, I mean, this is so much better.

I can't believe you know someone

who lives in this dump.

People who live in glass houses,

Eddie.

-I have no idea what that means, Mary.

-lt means you should shut the hell up.

I make the decisions from now on.

You got it.

So far you're batting a thousand.

Oh, my God.

-Sapphire.

-Mary. It's Mary.

Mary.

Oh, my God, Mary.

I'm so glad to see you.

You get on in here. You get on in.

Come on. I can't believe this.

Come on, they're girls, they're loud.

Let's go.

Oh, come in.

Well, you know what, it is a good thing

you got that random pole here...

...just to hold that roof up.

How do you two guys

know each other again?

Oh, we used to be dancers.

Dance teachers.

Yeah, like a long time ago.

We used to, you know, like--

-Oh, it was a tap-dancing routine.

-Yeah.

Ballet.

Listen, Tina, we actually need to--

We need to, like, get a job.

Get some work.

You know, we gotta make some money

so we can get to New Orleans.

So like anything at all.

Y'all can come to the fair tomorrow.

I can get you some work there.

Oh, that's great. That's perfect.

Let's all just put a break on that

for a second. No offense. Tina, is it?

Yeah, Tins.

Walter here is a fighter, all right?

And I'm his manager, okay?

We're not looking to be

any kind of carnies...

...or circus freaks or anything like that.

Well, first of all,

I don't know where you've been...

...but Walter is clearly not a fighter.

What are you talking about?

He's a fighter, right?

-I can fight.

-Well, you certainly are a big, strong man.

A fighter, huh?

Yeah, I'm a fighter.

-Yeah, I mean--

-That's right.

You know, I beat up....

I beat up this kid's dad.

Well, I'm sure he was a bad dad.

-Yeah.

-He was a bad dad.

Yes. No. Bad.

Yeah. Yes, he was.

I know. I got it. I got it.

I saw something at the carnival.

This thing. There was a sign.

And it said, "Come one, come all,

to fight Bare-Knuckle Dave."

And there's like a 500-dollar prize.
