Tapped Out Page #2

That was a long time ago.

I'll tell you what,

you divide your time

between keeping this place spotless

and helping me with the kids,

and let's see if we can

get you back into a gi.

Look, I'm just here to

finish my hours, okay?

Yeah, I can see that.

Look, this isn't...

it's not me anymore.

Well, when it is you,

I'll see you on the floor.

Oh, and don't even

think about it...

she's my niece.

Hyah... ya!

Get changed.

Gotta earn it.

You look good. How does it feel?

It feels pretty good.

Let's see your front stance.

Needs a little work.

Again.

Better.

All right. Shoulders back,

chest out, chin up.

Okay, let's see a front punch.

Okay, this... chamber hand?

Always even with the belt.

All right? Again.

Good. Breathe.

You're not breathing.

Breathe. Go!

Louder.

From your gut. Never

mind how it sounds.

It's gonna protect

you, all right? Again.

- Hyah!

- There you go. Again.

Hyah!

Good. Keep working on it.

Ha-aaa.

Not bad.

I didn't think anybody

was watching.

You can just pretend I'm not.

You'll get in trouble.

I'm Jen.

Michael.

- You're Reggie's niece, right?

- Uh, yeah.

- Is he around?

- Nah, he just took off.

Thanks.

Is there something I

can help you with?

I don't think so.

Wait, you came all the

way here for nothing?

How do you know I don't

live across the street?

- A girl like you?

- Oh, smooth.

Does that normally work?

So is this what you're

gonna be doing all night?

You mean standing in front of a

mirror making an ass out of myself?

Yeah, pretty much.

Get changed.

I wanna show you something.

Do me a favor? Don't tell my

uncle I brought you here.

He's old school.

Okay.

Buckle up, get strapped in

We're getting wild in Moscow now

We'll keep it cool like

Aspen, trans-Siberian

- And off the tracks...

- Hey.

- How's it going?

- Good.

Hi sweetie.

- Ladies, this is Michael.

- Hey, Michael, how's it going?

He's a janitor.

Come on.

Okay, let's go.

Everybody get your hands

in the Soviet dance

Now drop, keep it moving, man...

We've been doin' this

for three hours.

What time are we gonna get in?

- The fights are gonna be over.

- Come on, man.

Come on.

Jesus.

What is this place?

You'll see.

Who's that guy? Come on.

- You'll get your turn.

- That was our turn.

We're freezing our

asses off out here.

- We'll meet you guys inside.

- Okay.

I guess we're taking two.

- Fighting?

- Yeah. It's awesome, right?

Might drop like blocks in Tetris

Man, I'm purple in the eye

'cause we're rockin' it

Sing it, sunrise in the a.m....

Hey!

- Hey, thanks.

- No worries.

Oh my God, who's winning so far?

This is insane.

Hang on, tighten it!

Don't lose him now. Tighten!

Whoo!

Yo, how crazy was

that fight, y'all?

What's up?

All right, y'all. All right, yo!

All right, check this out.

Yo, this next match

is balls to the walls.

No holds barred.

This... yo, this is what

you are all here for.

- What?

- He's crazy.

First we got

Nick Maynar-rrrrd!

- Go home, go home!

- Whoo!

This guy's huge.

And his opponent

Dominic

Motherfuckin' Gray-yyy!

Yeah!

He is the sickest fighter.

Oh my God.

Go to your corner.

Stop it, no! Stop it, no!

Stop... no no no! No no no!

No-ooo!

Now I know you're ready.

Let's do this, baby.

Hey, what's up?

Are you okay?

Michael?

- Come on!

- Get off him.

- Oh sh*t, Dom-ination, baby!

- Whoo!

Dominic Gray, a bad bad man.

Hey. Ahem, I wanna report a crime.

I mean, I have some

information about a crime.

Okay, sir. Can you tell

me exactly what happened?

It was a... it was a carjacking,

but there was a murder involved.

- And where was this?

- Well, it was a long time ago.

- I don't really remember.

- Why are you only coming forward now?

No no, because...

because I got new

information, okay?

Do you... do you have a

case number or a reference?

The victims were my parents.

It was a carjacking and...

I saw the guy tonight! Okay?

I need one of you guys to go down there

and arrest this guy right f***ing now!

As you know, we can't just go

out there and arrest him, okay?

We need a warrant for that. Now if

you'd just calm down for a minute

and properly explain

the situa... sir? Sir?

You, uh, forgetting something?

When you step into this dojo you

leave everything else outside.

The only thing you bring in

here is your concentration.

- Where are you right now?

- Leaving.

40, 60, 80, 100.

Oh man, I'm losing count, man.

I need a bigger drawer, Big D.

Woo! Man, we made a

killing last night, yo.

Hey, boss.

It's all right, man.

Is there somethin'

I can do for you?

I wanna fight.

And you are...?

Michael Shaw.

And I care why?

'Cause I have an interest

in one of your fighters.

Look, a fan.

Oh...

I don't have time for this, man.

Hey! Hey, man, I'm serious.

- I wanna fight.

- It's cool, man.

Okay, Michael Shaw,

let's start with this.

Where do you train?

What's your record?

That's what I thought.

Man, I'll fight anybody, okay?

Listen, pretty boy,

I'm pretty sure you got

all kind of reasons

why you wanna become

a fighter, man.

But if I let every kid who walked up

in that office a shot in the cage?

Man, I'd be on a street corner somewhere

begging for change from people like you.

- And I know you ain't got none.

- Yeah, but you don't understand...

Look, kid! It's brave of you,

but the answer is simply no.

I'll tell you what though,

since you did take the trouble of

coming all the way down here, man,

here's two tickets

to tonight's fight.

It's gonna be a good one.

Bring one of your

girlfriends or something.

Okay.

Hell yeah, man.

He really knows how to

put on a f***ing show.

Man, great fights, great eye candy.

You just gotta understand.

- I'm sorry, boys, let's go.

- See you at my place.

Follow us. Absolutely. Let's go.

Let's go inside.

It's my jam!

Motherfuck's my jam, man!

All right, three. It's Jaeger.

Everybody, everybody,

Yo!

What are you doing?

You snooping around

here or somethin'?

I asked you a question, kid.

Yo, get Dom out here.

The kid was snooping

around out back.

Look at me, kid.

You know you're trespassing, right?

Do you know what that means?

Do you?

Do you wanna know something funny?

I can cut your eye out right here,

right now

and nobody would think twice.

I can kill you

and nobody would care.

Remember that.

And get the f*** off my property.

Stupid-ass kid.

Hey, keep it moving.

Here.

This is the address of the man

that I saw kill my parents.

And there's my number.

Give me a call when somebody decides

to do their job around here.

Michael!

Hey!

What did he want?

Uh, it's his second time in here.

The kid's all over the place.

Wants us to go pick up some guy on

a seven-year-old murder charge.

Here, he gave me this.

Hey.

Look, I know I lost

my cool the other day

and I shouldn't have.

This place means a lot to me.

I want to help you.

I wanna help the kids.

And I want to keep on

training, you know,

- provided that's okay with you.
