Bye, Jiggles. Stay in touch.

I mean, I just don't know what got into me.

I mean, I only had one drink.

Yeah, I know. It was just like

this one 64-ounce margarita.

-I'm so humiliated.

-Hey, don't be.

Look, it's good

to let loose once in a while.

There's a difference between letting loose

and knocking somebody unconscious.

But you nailed that spinning heel kick.

-I did, didn't l?

-Yeah, you--

-You were like, "Take that, Jiggles."

-Yeah.

-You're a good teacher.

-Well, thank you.

You know, I'm not...

...who you think I am.

Who is?

I used to be a dancer.

I mean, you know...

...a kind of dancer.

We're not talking ballroom, are we?

No.

Nope, nope, nope.

I was going down a really dark path...

...when Sister Francesca helped me

and I don't know what I would've done...

...without Walter and her.

Look, you don't have to do this.

You know, I mean, we've all done things

we'd like to forget.

That's life. No one's perfect.

The way I see it, if the good you've done

outweighs the bad...

...then you've done all right.

Okay.

So you think we could like forget

this whole...awkward moment...

...so that I don't have to obsess over

being so stupid?

I think we could do that.

Thanks.

Sure.

Okay. All right, then.

God, my head hurts.

Hey, big man.

-Tina?

-I've been looking everywhere for you.

Tina! Oh, my-- Tina, here. Sit.

What are you doing here?

-I just--

-Have a seat, have a seat.

Thank you. You know, I know that--

I know that it's your big day tomorrow

and all and I wanted to come down...

...and, you know, lend my support.

You drove all the way here

just to see me?

Yeah.

Wow, that's so nice.

-I got you something.

-For me?

-Yeah.

-Oh, my goodness.

Is that what l--?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Oh, my goodness.

They're-- They're trunks.

These are awesome.

-It's a bear.

-It's a bear?

Yeah.

That is cool.

Well, you know,

a great outfit for a great man.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

You wouldn't believe

the transformation.

-Mary, Mary.

-Yeah.

You call me when it's over, Mary dear.

Sister, we can't seem to find

young Henry.

You know Henry. He loves to hide.

He'll show up. He always does.

But we've looked

absolutely everywhere.

Well, I suggest you look everywhere

one more time.

-Registration form.

-Right.

Yeah. Edward Sullivan, SSM.

Sullivan Sports Management.

My number one fighter...

-...Mr. Walter Krunk.

-Hi.

-Registration.

-Yes. Right.

Sir, you seem to me to be a man

of great business integrity...

...instinct and acumen. I mean, why else

would you be working here, right?

-Here's what I propose--

-Look, buddy...

...I don't care who the hell you are.

If you didn't preregister,

there's no way your boy will fight.

-Please. Can you just let him--?

-Next.

Come on, man.

Registration form.

Has anyone here seen that video

of the really big guy...

...who saves the little guy

by putting a sleeper hold on a bear?

Yeah.

Okay. And you remember the one...

...where, like, the little kid's

really scary, crazy dad comes in...

...and he beats him up?

-Yeah!

-I got a great surprise for you.

That big guy is right here.

Look, look, look.

-Recognize.

-I recognize.

Find somewhere to put your stuff.

Fight starts in 30 minutes.

I thought so. Thank you very much.

A lot of integrity.

Thank you.

Let's do this.

-What are you doing?

-We don't have a locker.

So I was just trying to--

-Here, here, here. Put it up here.

-Okay.

Nice. That's perfect.

Thank you.

Stop it. You don't have to thank me

for anything.

But because of you-- I mean...

...you gave me this chance.

Thanks, man.

Yeah. Sure.

-I love you, man.

-Okay, okay. All right.

That was sweet. I can't breathe.

I love you too.

It's a man clinch. It's Muay Thai Po.

Anyway. Good fight.

Come on! Yeah!

Come on! Come on! Yeah!

Come on! Let's see you get energized.

All right. All right!

Ladies and gentlemen...

...welcome to the 30th Annual...

...New Prleans Pro-Am

Fighting Championships!

Yeah!

Come on!

That's what I'm talking about!

Yeah!

All right. All right.

The winner of the final round walks away

with 100,000 dollars!

Come on!

All right. Here we go, Walt.

You got this guy.

All right. Get in there.

Guy looks like he knows

what he's doing.

Just keep moving. Keep moving.

All right. You got this guy.

You can do a little kick or something.

Kick him, Walt. Kick him. Kick him.

Yeah, baby. Yeah!

-You won it!

-I won!

You won!

You won! Yeah!

All right. All right.

He's all upper-body strength.

You don't wanna get locked up with him.

Keep moving around the ring.

Okay. He's gonna get a good punch.

Okay, so he's very good.

All right. All right.

Don't worry about this guy.

Don't worry.

You can take this guy. He's a showboat.

He's just trying to show off.

All right. Shuck and jive. Shuck and jive.

All right. Keep moving.

That's it. Rear naked choke.

That's my boy!

Stay there. Hold him right there.

Yeah, baby, you won!

Sir, I'm sorry. I think that's my seat

right there. Thank you.

-I'm worried about Walter.

-He's gonna be fine.

Oh, my God.

Yeah!

Hands up! Hit him! All right.

Punch him. Do something.

All right, pal. Relax.

That's it. Hold his foot.

Pick him up or something. Pick him up.

Yeah! That's it! Now throw him down.

Oh, my God.

Walter! Walter! Walter!

Walter! Walter! Walter!

You did good, Walt.

Walter! Walter! Walter!

Pop, hey. What are you doing here?

You think I'd miss the main event?

-Here, come here. Have a seat.

-Yeah.

Oh, God. How's your leg?

It's fine. Listen.

Earl's not gonna be too happy

when you avenge me.

Yeah, I know. That's why I gotta ask you

to do me a favor.

I'll take it under consideration.

Thank you.

All right.

This is all the money we made

on the road.

It's 4 grand. I don't know,

if something happens to me...

...can you make sure

that that gets to the orphanage?

You're not growing a conscience on me,

are you, kid?

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

Despite my best efforts...

...I think I'm getting to be more like you

in my old age.

-Hey.

-What makes you think I got a conscience?

-lsn't this the ladies' room?

-lndeed it is.

Then why are you in here?

How well do you know Eddie Sullivan?

What do you want?

Did he ever tell you the real reason

he quit fighting?

Yeah. Because of his....

That's very cute. But the real reason is

that he got banned from fighting, for life...

...for taking a dive in the title fight.

You see, Eddie doesn't care about you

or Walter or that rundown orphanage.

The only thing Eddie cares about

is himself.

And if I know him, and I do...

...I'll bet you he's out there right now

betting against your boy.

So...

...if you really wanna help

that orphanage...

...give me a call.

Anytime.

Excuse me.

Told you we'd make it to the finals.

-Where's our money?

-What?

The money we've made on this trip.

The money for the orphanage.

Yeah. It-- It's not here. But I got it.

-He was right.

-Who was right?

You took a dive.
