Are you gonna train or

tease the towel boy?

- Hey, I'm helping out here, ok?

I'm just trying to give our new,

hired hand some valuable

advice, because the help

shouldn't eye banging the

owner's daughter, my sister.

- Is that right?

- - Greg.

You're way outta line.

- I was just calling it

like I see it, coach.

- Hey, I'm calling

it like I see it.

Now you get back

into training mode,

or you hit the showers.

You wanna gossip, do

that on your own time.

- Oops, I missed.

- Hey, hey,

you got one more

towel to pick up.

- Hey Remo,

you missed another one.

- What the hell are y'all doin'?

Quit being an a**hole

and put some clothes on.

- Good one, good one.

Let's go ladies!

Standing around with your

hands in your pockets.

- 20 fighters, 1300 bucks.

That's all they're making.

- You guys, I just got off

the phone with Mr. Bloomberg

from the UCLA medical board.

- Did they look at

your Grant proposal?

- Yes!

- They went over my entire

Grant application this morning,

and...

- they loved it?

Of course, they loved

it, it's brilliant!

- I mean, I won't know if I

got it until a week or so,

but they're recommending

me for full Grant so...

- Woah.

Hey, Remo!

What'd I tell you about

eye banging my sister?

- What man?

Jealous she's getting

more attention than you?

- What the hell did you

just say to me? Huh?

- C'mon dude, c'mon.

- Well, last night, when

you dropped your towel,

at first, I thought it

was just a dick move,

but now I'm startin' to wonder.

- Yo street, bruh,

relax man.

Chill.

- Was that a invitation for me?

You jealous of Jasmine, Greg?

Wish I looked at you like dat?

- Greg, c'mon, c'mon dude!

C'mon, c'mon dude!

- Come on get in

here, let's go son!

- Get in here right now!

You want some, let's go!

Let's do it!

Yeah, that's right!

Whatcha got!

- Oh, Ozzy, Ozzy.

- Hey, hey!

Knock it off! Knock it...

Break it up!

What the hell was that!

- S'called fighting.

- Oh, you wanna fight?

- I gotta train with

the towel boy now?

Well, you're sparring partner

is Ooc and it's your fault,

so yes!

- You really messed something

up man, what the hell?

- He likes to mix it up with

combo shots, high and low.

Don't forget the

wrestling background.

Alright, let's do it!

- This is your call, Ozzy.

Yeah, you better put out

another ad for a towel boy

after this fight.

He ain't gonna survive this, man.

- Alright, enough enough enough!

Hit the showers, both of you!

- I got you tomorrow.

- Just so you know,

until Chad gets better, that's

your new sparring partner.

- Look, about you and Greg,

I gotta be honest,

Greg haven't fought the

way he did today in months.

He's fighting a little flat.

I think what's Greg's been

missing though is heart.

He knows the techniques, but...

- so, you're saying

hatred towards me is

making him a better fighter.

- Amazingly enough, yeah.

- Well, I'm glad I'm

good for something.

- Hell, if I knew

that's all it took,

I woulda had you in

here a month ago.

Well, of course it's not

just a one way street though.

It has made you a

better fighter too.

I'll see you tomorrow, hothead.

Get some rest.

- Alright, coach.

You guys have gotta get

a less conspicuous car.

- Ding, ding, street dog.

Time to fight.

- Good fight, street dog.

- Alright, good workout.

Street.

I wanna run Greg through

some pad drills and fives,

so get the kick pads

and hop in the ring, ok?

- Ok.

- Anything solid in

the gym to hit today?

- Ok boys, playtime's over.

Street!

My office.

- See ya tomorrow, towel boy.

- Go home.

- Why?

- You're slow today, it's

like you're not on your game.

- Oh, c'mon coach, I'm good.

- Look, it's not a punishment.

You're here everyday

drilling and training.

Just get some rest, and

I'll see you tomorrow.

And bring your a game.

- Ok.

- You don't have to help me.

- Where we going with this?

- Lemme show you.

Ta da!

- This is beautiful.

- Thanks.

It was for my thesis project,

but now I'm hoping to

turn into a career path.

Homeopathic medicine and

less conventional disease

prevention and cures.

- That's incredible.

This all for school?

- Yeah, yeah I'm

working on my doctorate.

In fact, I presented to the

UCLA medical board this week,

- and?

- Well, they said they loved it,

but I have to wait

a couple of days

to see if I got the

Grant I applied for so,

fingers cross for

good luck and all.

- Yeah

- oh, hey,

you know, I have

something for that.

Here, sit down.

Here, let me see your hand.

- What is that?

- Aloe

- so, gardening.

That's what you do?

- Well, I study, research.

I work locally at a health

clinic treating cancer patients

with less conventional

medicines,

you know, exciting

life of the super nerd.

- So, this is your little

secret getaway, huh?

- Ah, yeah.

I like to think of

it as my sanctuary.

I mean, the gym is great

and all, don't me wrong.

And I am so greatful for all

that it's done for my family,

but, oh my god, sometimes

I need to get away

from all that testosterone,

you know?

- How long did this take?

- Uh... Well, actually

my mom started it.

Back when she and my dad

first founded the gym.

One of my very first memories

is picking strawberries

with her back here,

so I guess,

it's kinda like, even

though she's gone,

it feels like a part

of her is still here.

- Yeah.

- Ok, what are you doing

right when you get inside?

- I'm gonna make the green tea,

with dandelion extract,

then, I'm gonna soak the

asparagus over night,

and then blend it

in the morning.

Preparing juice for lunch,

and leafy Greens for dinner.

- And?

- And, no more dairy.

- Good.

Now don't expect

miracles right away,

but all of this is

really gonna help.

- I really do appreciate it.

- No problem.

- G'night, thanks for the ride.

- G'night.

- Chad.

Chad, Chad, Chad,

Chad, slow down.

Rehabilitation time,

not re-injury time.

- Got it coach.

- Good job gentlemen!

- Hey,

chores first little boy.

- Enough, please.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Seriously, why don't you

cut him a little slack?

- What you goin'

soft on him too?

- Nah, I'm just saying,

the harder on him you are,

the more Jasmine's gonna

wanna be nice to him.

- Yeah, well,

why don't you keep your

opinions to yourself?

- Well, here's one opinion

I'm not keeping to myself:

Stop being a dick.

- Greg's got a big fight

comin' up in a few weeks,

and my old bones're getting

tired of lugging all this

crap by myself.

You mind giving me a

hand, and helping me out?

And besides, it's time

you get a little ringside

experience under your belt.

I mean, sparring is fine,

but ain't nothing

like the real deal.

- Yeah, I can do that.

Thanks coach.

- What the hell you

tryin' to do to me Ozzy?

- What?

- Whaddya mean "what?"

- Hey, handsome.

You headed home?

- Yeah, I was thinkin' about it.

Gotta get ready for this date

I got with this little cutie.

- What a coincidence.

I also have a hot date tonight.
