I don't think he wrestled.

Why?

I don't know.

He doesn't talk much.

He's kind of a weird kid.

Want another beer?

Yeah.

Why can't I have one kid

on my team like that, you know? Just one.

Well, you do. Right there.

Take that kid to states.

He's not on the team. He's not

even a student. Been here for three days.

So what? Enroll him.

I can't enroll him. He's just here until we

reach his mother and we figure this out.

All right. So he's gotta do something.

Let him wrestle.

That's a nice bow, man.

Yeah. Wedding gift. Yeah.

Oh.

Dude, look at it this way.

You're he ping the old man out, and this kid

is like a bonus for doing the right thing.

Yeah, I'm not just

helping the old man out.

It's not like it's charity work, you know?

I'm getting paid for it.

Yeah, no sh*t, Mike. Everybody gets paid.

But, dude, think about it, all right?

What are the odds of this kid ending up

on your doorstep and wrestling like that?

That's a sign.

Check it out. One of his matches.

He's setting him up. See?

He's setting him up. He's gonna throw him.

There he goes.

Oh, my God!

High five! Yes!

Whoo!

Okay.

Here's $5 for lunch. I don't know what it

costs. But let me know when you find out.

I have money, but thanks.

Good for you. Save it.

Come on, take it. It's too early to argue.

Okay. I'm ready. Let's go, pal.

Alright.

See you tonight.

Bye, Jackie.

Bye.

Hey.

Yeah. Hold on.

You sure we should do this?

Why not? I mean, if he's here two more days

or two weeks, it gives him something to do.

Unless you want him hanging out here.

No, you're right. We should do it.

Hey, Mike.

Uh-huh?

We got a check from Leo Poplar's trust for

Uh-huh. Yeah, right. I'll take that.

Shouldn't I deposit it

in the business account?

Um...

No, it's not a legal fee, it's a personal fee.

For what?

I ended up taking on Leo's guardianship.

Really?

Yeah. Didn't I mention that to you?

You definitely didn't mention that.

Yeah. It ended up playing out that way.

I gotta get going, okay?

Can we put some of that in the business

account so they don't take our copier back?

No, not this time.

Next month, I promise. Bye, Shelly.

We need our cop er, Mike.

I know.

That noise is getting louder.

I'm not hungover today.

That's good.

That's good?

Hey, honey.

No, I'm good.

Yeah, listen, can you do me a favor?

Mail the health insurance check.

I forgot to mail it.

I think it's on the desk.

Hey. What up, fellas?

Hitting the showers, huh?

That sounded weird.

The guy's unbelievable.

You want me to talk to Reed?

No, let me check with Kyle first.

Oh, yeah, coaches' office. Hey, Vig.

Hey, Terry.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

What do you think? I gotta see this kid.

He's incredible.

He's good to wrestle. Mike cleared him.

Really?

Yeah.

All right.

So where we at?

Uh, we're trying to figure out

where he fits in.

Heh. Wherever the hell he wants, right?

Uh, no, not right.

Unfortunately, we have a system here.

Excuse me, Vig.

Hey, Kyle. Come on in. How's school?

It's okay.

Good. This is my friend Terry.

Hey, man. Good to meet you.

Great to meet you. We come.

Thanks.

Terry. Terry.

How are the shoes?

They're good.

Good.

Here you go.

I wanted to ask you something, Kyle.

Think you might wanna wrestle in a match?

Okay.

Good. We got one on Saturday.

What do you wrestle?

I used to wrestle 103,

but that's not gonna happen.

I could make 119 by Saturday.

Excellent. Done.

Ter.

Sorry.

Is there anyone there now?

Jimmy Reed, but he's not very good.

Yeah, but he might actually

be better off at 125, Vig.

Don't you think we should wrestle off?

Yeah.

There's no place I'd rather be

Than anywhere else but here

Can't you see that I'm

Sick and tlred of all the bullshit

Good luck, man.

Thanks.

Okay, et's get them started.

Okay.

Wrestle off!

All right, let's go.

Come on, come on, come on.

Keep time. Vig.

I'll do it. You don't mind, do you?

No, go ahead.

Nice.

What?

VIG:

Let's go, guys. Shake hands.

Wow. That is really fast. That's really fast.

Shh, shh.

Yes!

Good match.

JIMMY:
Didn't feel good.

I don't think we can teach him anything.

Just being in that place

brought back all the memories, I gotta say.

The smell. It's like a form of self-abuse.

Were you guys really that bad?

Mike was average.

Yeah.

Right? I sucked. Sorry, Abby.

That's okay.

You were really better than Terry?

Yeah. Mike was scrappy. Abby, your dad was

like an angry little ferret when he wrestled.

We should have joined the ski club.

We could have gotten busy

with Alison Shepherd on overnights.

Terry.

Who was busy?

Your Unc e Terry's just being silly.

Sorry, Abby. Getting busy is bad.

Ha, ha.

So is getting married.

For crying out loud.

Getting married is bad?

Different viewpoints are important. Right?

No, not right, Terry.

You really need to get back up

on the horse.

Okay, Mom.

MIKE:
We should go.

I have to stop by the office.

How do you think

we'd do against Kyle, like, now?

Are you kidding me? He'd kill us.

Both of us, together.

Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right.

Kid's got man strength, dude.

Man strength?

Mm. Like, not kid strength, man strength.

I wouldn't say that

around the locker room, Terry.

What are you doing in there?

Trying to figure out what's wrong

with my fricking backup system.

Just call your IT guy.

I don't have an IT guy. IT guys cost money.

Right.

You know what?

I'm just gonna say what's on my mind here.

I wanna be an assistant coach too.

Seriously?

Yeah. Why not?

Dude, I'm value added,

especially compared to Vig.

How are you value added?

Well, first of all, I'm fun.

There's no denying that.

Secondly, unlike Vig,

I actually used to wrestle.

Yeah, but, Ter, you sucked.

Mike, come on. I'm serious here.

I need some distraction in my life

right now. I'm sitting in that condo...

...just thinking about Lori and that guy...

...having sex in the jacuzzi I paid for.

It's f***ing unhealthy.

I'm going kind of crazy right now.

Really.

We start at 3:
30 p.m.

Don't be late.

My brother.

Hey, I'm not gonna let you down.

To the team.

Alright.

What should I wear to my first practice?

Just a singlet.

Seriously?

Yeah, so we can see your man strength.

MAN:

Incoming call. Do you copy?

Incoming call. Charlie Squadron

taking heavy fire. Requesting air strlke-

Hello. Hello?

This is Jackie Flaherty.

Kyle's staying with us.

Oh, I am gonna kill that lady.

Hi.

Your phone rang. Your mom called.

You answered it?

Yeah. We've been waiting

to hear from her.

What'd she say?

She didn't say anything. She hung up.

You talk to her?

No, but can you please not

answer my phone anymore?

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

Oh. Here. You shouldn't be smoking,

but if you do...

...could you put the butts out in here?

I quit.

Now that I'm wrestling again,

I can't smoke.

Pretty cool, right?

Yeah, it's very cool.

Was that Abby?

Mm.

If it is, she just ran away.
