The Philly Kid Page #3

Here. That's for your win

last night.

Big time.

Hey, guys. Thanks for coming down.

No problem.

Why don't you and I take a walk ?

- Murray has some papers for you to sign.

- Hey.

saw you came from Drexel.

You are good.

Last night you were something

... different.

- How long a strech did you do ?

- Ten years.

You know what I do ?

- Train fighters.

- No.

I Train the best.

And the best all have that animal

I saw in you last night.

But that's not enough.

See, right now you can get on

the ground with anyone.

you just can't get him there.

You've gotta learn how to stand up and fight.

Become a complete fighter.

'cos that's what separates

the street rats from the best.

You gotta want it.

Or eventually ...

You won't walk out

Remember when everyone

used to know his name?

"Dillon, you the man!"

You train with me and I'll get

you back there.

- What's in it for you ?

- Twenty percent.

You fight who I say

when I say.

I don't think I'm in the fighter

you are looking for.

Well, I don't know if you are either.

But after what I saw last

night, and from what I know ...

I think you owe to yourself to find out.

When do we start ?

- You've got a girl?

- No.

Go get one tonight.

'cause tomorrow, your legs are mine.

Girls are like kryptonite

to legs.

7am tomorrow morning.

Make sure you eat something before.

What did he say?

- Eat breakfast.

- What else?

And to get laid.

That's what I'm talking about!

- Here.

- What's that?

You now belong LA Jim Inc. Management

Hey huh, how's the fishing?

Relax. it's just a job check.

A little like a prostate check,

but without the lube.

I brought coffee.

What happened to your knuckles?

Loading boxes?

Yes.

you've loaded boxes with

your face, too?

So, do you need to talk to

my boss or something?

No.

Just checking a box here.

- How are you doing?

- Here?

Here, there, everywhere.

How's the world?

It's fine.

It's different.

Did four in Iraq.

Came home, felt like I'd

been to Mars and back.

Give it time.

Find something that matters.

Hold on tight.

Look what it did for me, right?

Allright.

Back to work.

- Next time?

- Yes

Watch out for them boxes.

Hi

Sorry, sorry. I didn't want

to surprise you.

- it's all right, i've got it.

- No, let me help you.

Gotta stop entering in the

back like a criminal.

Sh*t, sorry.

Your uncle isn't here.

No, actually ...

I never got to say ...

Thank you.

- I heard you won.

- Yes

I'm sorry that he

did this to you.

it's allright.

No it's not.

I'll just do it for him.

Hey, at least I wasn't asked

to win a beauty pageant.

So, is it true what my

brother told me?

- You never lost?

- Yeah.

You must be pretty good.

You should come and watch.

I don't really like fighting.

Well, I gotta go. I have

to catch the bus.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

- How about Italian food?

- What ?

- Do you like Italian food?

- Yes

Because I'm about to close up here and there's

this really great place up on Eliyson.

That place hasn't been up there

for like, five years.

But there's this great place on Broad.

Hey, man, It's me.

You're missing your party.

I know you're not working right now,

because I know you're closed.

So, er, get your ass down here.

It is a celebration.

Look at this nut.

No work, no technique.

The guy's an amateur.

What a hack.

They got this guy, Powell, fighting

sticks so that they can build ...

- A money horse.

- Hey! Turn that sh*t off!

It's the guy who stays on his feet who wins.

It's the guy can still punch while

the other can't breathe.

Oh, I'm sorry,can I get you

a lemonade or something?

Hit that f***ing thing!

A hundred times! Let's go!

- What do winners never do?

- Quit !

Hit it!

Now!

Aim for the head!

Now!

Get some rest.

That's good.

Now!

this is it.

Now!

Ok, again!

Ace's gotta approve it.

F*** Ace, ok?

I'm not playing on credit.

Take this.

That's two thousand dollars

on my boy tomorrow.

You hold onto it. I win, you pay

me what you owe me.

Ace doesn't need to know.

Leave it off the books.

Larry, you need these ears.

I know these fighters. I know

what your odds should be. Come on.

You help

me, I help you.

- What's that?

- Oh My God.

What ?

O-M-G, that's what it means.

OMG, I just sent my first text.

You really want to give me an excuse?

What are you doing?

- Hey, easy playboy.

- We didn't do anything !

While I'm here, I want to give congratulations

on your big win. that's all.

I hear you're with LA Jim now.

That's terrific.

Just want to make sure

you don't get the big head.

You still a piece of sh*t.

- F*** it!

- Easy, killer.

Those fighters.

They fight for me down there.

Every breath you take in that ring ...

That's a gift from ... me.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

What does that mean?

It means you should get ready

To pay up.

Bring the pain, man.

Hey, listen. listen.

This jock will come up all flashy.

Let him wear himself down.

When I say "now", I want you

to hit it him so hard ...

People are talking.

Is that right ?

Yes, they say the big boys are circling.

Ready to bring you back to the top.

You ready to do what it takes?

Who?

Dillon - Titov, in two weeks.

What if I say no?

He rules here, Jim.

Nobody puts a foot on line without

paying their dues.

I did it. Well ..

You didn't, see where it got you.

It is the way he becomes a contender,

you know that.

In two weeks, he goes down.

But in one month, he gets his shot.

- Yeah.

Can I see the Phillips wrench ?

I already tried the connection.

Okay, try it now.

Try it now?

I was a Marine, you know?

I'm trying now.

I wiped the sand from the intake valve ...

The distributor cap's loose.

You're gonna have to replace it eventually.
