TYSON:
I was wondering if you wanna

come down and go with me to a party.

DESIREE:
Tonight?

Isn 't it kind of late for a party?

TYSON:
Well, there's still

a lot of celebrities there.

DESIREE:

I don 't know.

What about tomorrow?

Can we go out then?

TYSON:
No, I wish I could,

but I gotta leave tomorrow.

Why don 't you come on down?

It'll be fun.

No. I just gotta go there

and pick up my bodyguard.

DESIREE:

Oh. Mike Tyson needs a bodyguard?

TYSON:
Yeah, that's right.

DESIREE:
Ha-ha!

I thought we were just going

to pick up his bodyguard...

... before going out on the town to all

these after-parties with other celebrities.

When you got out of the elevator,

where did you and Mike go?

We walked the hall to his room.

Uh-huh.

We'll just be here a second.

Come on in.

CUS:
What's the difference

between the hero and the coward?

There ain 't no difference.

They both feel exactly the same

on the inside.

They both fear dying and getting hurt.

TYSON:
It's what the hero does

that makes him a hero...

... and what the other doesn 't do

that makes him a coward.
