Tie them up.
The hands are not the issue.
The fight is the issue.
The battle is the issue.
Who imposes the terms of the battle,
will impose the terms of the peace.
- You think he has a handicap?
- No.
The other guy has a handicap,
if he cannot control himself.
You control yourself,

Take him to court.
A man distracted is a man defeated.
That's right.
You've heard that before, huh?
Try it again.

Hi, I'm lost.

- What?
I don't know.
Well, you said I have to find it
before eight o'clock.
Thank you.
Ok.
Hey, hey.
Wait.
Hey, stop.
Answer the phone.
Hi, yeah I missed the guy.
He needed your help with some
of those things.
No, a regular doctor is not going to
fill the prescription.
What?
Because he is closed.
The prescription is not going to
stand up at a straight pharmacy.
Alright, but I need...
Alright, ok.
Hello?
Hi, this is Sondra Terry with
Southside Ju-Jitsu.
Yeah, I have your
invoice number 20903.
Yeah, you indicate that you didn't
receive our payment.
Ok, but...
Look, I'm trying to run a business
just like you.
I'll wait.
As all the world knows,
tomorrow is Wednesday.
So we will be on Wednesday schedule.
Beginning self defense.
I am watching the match.
You going to have to train if you
want that black belt, officer Joe.
Mike?
What you want the officer walk you home?
It's rough out there.
Well, after he gets his black belt
he can walk me to the car.
That will make me feel secure.
How is the belt going to make you feel secure?
I know his f***ing pants
are not going to fall down.
Hey, by the way.
Aren't you going to buy a new rig?
I was thinking about it.
Oh, you were thinking about it.
I tell you what, why don't you take
some of that good off-duty money..
.. and buy a new shoulder-rig.
Why?
- A shoulder is nothing but a handlebar.
- Ok.
Excuse me.
Eh, who is this?
It's all right.
Come in, come in.
- Hi.
- Mike?
- I believe I..
- Mike, can you come here please?
Yes, thank you.
I was driving..
Take off your coat.
How can we help you?
Look, I heard your car..
Hey Joe, take the lady's coat. Come on.
.. the car, I pay you cash.
So we can just..
- No, stay away from me!
- Miss?
Don't touch me!
No, don't touch me.
I am a police officer!
The wind blew something into
the window.
- The wind blew something into the window?
- Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
You're all ok?
Yeah, we're fine.
You want me to start to clean up?
Yeah, thanks Snowflake.
What else am I going to say,
she's trying to kill a police officer?
- Are you sure?
- I am sure.
It's ok.
I am an attorney, I...
I can't let...
The officer thinks it didn't happen.
Eh, I'm sorry...
He thinks it didn't happen.
- I thought you were going to the mountains?
- No, that's funny.
Joe?
Is Joe still inside?
- No, he just left.
- Left?
Yeah, maybe he went to the club.
- What happened to the window?
- Isn't he on at the club?
- Ehm, that's funny.
- Weren't you going to the mountains?
- Why would he go to the club?
- Isn't he working tonight?
The club? No, he hasn't worked
at the club in months.
Listen, I have to tell him something.
- Ok, tell him.
- Why?
- Why what?
- Why hasn't he been working there?
Yeah, no.
Listen, I got to get home.
- Officer Joe let the girl walk?
- Yeah, I suppose he did.
That was generous of him.
Yeah, I think so.
Why did he do that?
He didn't want to bring the sauna
on the academy.
Yes, of course.
I need a black belt for him.
You didn't want to bring the sauna
on the academy.
Yes, thank you.
- The car?
- Car?
The girl drove into your car.
I didn't look at that.
They want cash to get the window
bought it up.
Do you have any cash?
And on your business,
for which you have no cash.
We need to replace the window.
Your cheque bounced.
My cheque?
The martial art supply.
Mike, we're short.
You have no cash.
If we pay the window,
I can't make the rent.
Hello.
You need your ass kick out
for a loan.
Mike, you go ask him for a loan.
Hey, Mike.
Hey, Billy.
Jimmy, you can't smoke in here.
- We got Mike Terry down here.
- The f***ing world is turning into a dungeon.
Hey, sorry. He's busy.
Five minutes.

- No, Bruno. Ricardo is out.
Put the cigarette out.
- Hang on, I'll take a beer.
- You havent got no bouncer?
- Just weekends now.
- Officer Joe?
Billy, I show you something for a drink.
I hardly think so.
Joey, the cop?
- Yeah.
- Wait, come on. I'll wait for this drink.
Check out this dice.
So where you've been,
the cruise ships?
- Why Joe quit?
- Yeah, hold on a second.
Check this out.
You ever seen that?
I am f***ing fantastic, somebody
buy me this f***ing drink.
- Officer Joe, why did he quit?
- What?

Because Bruno wasn't paying him.
They never paid him.
