(HORN HONKS)

Skylar, get off your
butt and unload the car.

- (HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)
- Hey, I know you girls heard me.

Go get the groceries.

(SIGHS)

Did you get more yogurt?

Nope. Wasn't on the list.

I always eat yogurt.

Well, then you should
have put it on the list.

Now go help. Come on.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

- (SNIFFS)
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)

Good morning.

(GROANS) Oh, Christ.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

I think I'm getting sick.

I brought you something.

(GROANS) Thanks, love.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(SIGHS)

I'm going to Burbank later
to pick up a new girl.

Where is she from?

Florida.

.

Looks like she's .

Double D's,

but I'll believe that
when I f*cking see it.

We'll do a cam-show tonight.

- We'll ease her in, okay?
- Mm-hmm.

What's her name?

Kayla.

We'll put her in Skylar's room.

Oh, can you tell her
or Monique or Shannon,

whoever the f*ck it is

that's flushing tampons
down the f*cking toilet

to knock it off?

They're f*cking up the pipes.

I've told them before, but
I'll tell them again.

All right. Cheers, love.

Oh, and can you turn the AC down a bit?

It's hotter than sh*t in here.

Chrissy...

thanks for the breakfast.

Don't know what we'd
do without you, love.

(MOANING CONTINUES)

I'm gonna fight again.

I mean, they're setting it up right now,
but, yeah.

Yeah. Legends Fight.

- That's what they call it.
- DR. KRAMER: Hmm.

I'm a legend.

Crazy.

I wasn't looking for it.

You know, it came out of the blue. It...

I'm done, you know?

I've been done years.

Even then, I... I fought too long.

What makes you say that?

- What?
- That you fought too long?

I mean...

My last few fights weren't
too good, you know?

I-I lost a couple that I shouldn't have.

I lost the last one.

It still bothers me.

You mean as far as legacy?

Oh, f*ck that.

f*ck legacy.

(PEN SCRATCHING)

I don't care how some m*therf*cker

sees me in his head, you know?

It's, uh...

It's useless.

You f*cking die, you're gone.

Nobody's thinking about you.

Unless they want to blame
for some of their own sh*t,

you know, whatever that may be.

What I'm talking about is an... is an...

is an open wound.

You know what I mean?

It's a job not complete.

You win, you go out on your own terms.

You lose...

they push you the f*ck out.

Couldn't finish.

What happens if you lose again?

Where does that put you?

(CHUCKLES)

You're thinking too far ahead.

No, I don't... I don't...

Honestly, ever since this came up,

I... I, uh...

I feel optimistic.

Optimistic about the future?

Yeah, I guess. Maybe.

I mean, I don't know.

You know, I just... I'll tell you what.

I haven't felt like this in a while.

Well, that's a good thing.

I want to come off the Lexapro.

Well, we tried that before.

It didn't go so well.

Yeah, well, I was a
f*cking idiot before.

You know, we do it the
right way this time.

You wean me off.

You'll still feel some withdrawals.

You got anxiety, uh,

depression, irritability...

- Mm-hmm.
- insomnia.

Okay. I mean, I can handle it.

I'm gonna fight again.

I got to... I got to feel something.

I got to feel my full range
of emotions, you know?

I got to be who I was.

- (EXHALES SHARPLY)
- f*ck. f*ck.

(SIREN WAILING)

Ryan, this is what happens

when you don't help me with these.

And I... (SIGHS)

What? Why?

(POUNDING ON DOOR)

(DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE)

- (POUNDING ON DOOR)
- (DRAWER OPENS, METAL TINGS)

(DRAWER OPENS, CLOSES)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Coming.

GARO: Good morning.

I'm looking for Ryan Wheeler.

King Beast?

That's right. Does he live here?

Ryan?

(SIGHS)

Rough neighborhood, huh?

If you're a sex offender,

this neighborhood is a jungle, sir.

I bet.

(TOILET FLUSHES)

- Ryan?
- RYAN: What, Keith? What?

Someone's here.

Oh, hey, man.

What are you doing here?

I have a gift for you.

GARO: Your chariot awaits.

A gift from your friends

at King Beast and the Middle East.

- You're giving this to me?
- Yes.

- It's a nice car.
- It's a beautiful car.

Thing is, I already have a car.

What I don't have is a contract.

I'll give you both.

Talk to Lisa.

Whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. Hey, hey, hey.

I love Lisa, okay?

She does a great job for
you, but she's a manager.

Sometimes they cloud the message.

I want you to know exactly...

exactly how important you are
to this promotion, okay?

Please.

It's a gift from me to you, no strings.

One string.

You come out with me tonight,
let me show you the love.

You don't like it, we part ways,

but you keep the car.

We've been through a lot together, man.

Give me one night.

It's about time you spent
some f*cking money on me.

(LAUGHS)

I love it. Bring a sports coat, okay?

- Classy night tonight.
- Okay. Yeah.

I'll have a car sent for you.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, don't tell Lisa, huh?

Boys' night out.

Take your vitamins, m*therf*cker.

We're gonna have some good times.

(ALL BREATHING DEEPLY)

(MAN SNORING)

(CLOCK BEEPS)

As you surface...

slowly feeling your surroundings...

and when you're ready, open your eyes.

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

WOMAN: Okay. Ahh.

Does anyone want to talk
about their experience?

Tim, go ahead.

Uh, at first, I felt kind of fidgety,

just couldn't sit still,
was thinking to myself,

"Well, Tim, here's another
thing you suck at."

And that lasted about minutes.

- But then I went back to my mantra.
- (PEOPLE MURMURING)

And that last minute was solid.

That's great, Tim. Thank you.

Anyone else?

Lisa.

Uh, yeah,

I didn't have any trouble at all,

unlike Tim here.

Um, I just felt completely still,

but, like, in my soul, you know?

Does anyone ever have that?

No. No.

And then, for some reason,

I thought of a bunch of
Smurfs carrying a cantaloupe.

(LAUGHTER)

Except they weren't blue,

so I have no idea what that means.

When the mind is still,

we can think of some
pretty funny things.

TIM: Uh, what color were they?

All different colors.

Oh, like a rainbow.

Yeah, like a rainbow.

Exactly.

Uh, Lisa?

Tim.

Hi.

- You are so good at meditation.
- (CHUCKLES)

I mean, the way you keep your
eyes open the whole time...

that is just next-level sh*t.

I learned it from an old Indian woman.

Oh, wow.

- I would love to get her number.
- Oy.

Unfortunately, she, uh,
doesn't have a phone.

She lives outside.

That makes sense.

Uh, sorry.

Do you want to maybe
have dinner sometime?

- (CHUCKLES)
- Uh, normally I would slow-play this,

but I don't really think
you're coming back

'cause you're already so good.

Yeah.

I don't like tapas.

Big plates. Got it.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Hello, uh, Andy.

- Jay Kulina.
- What do you want?

I've been calling you for several days.

Why haven't you called me back?

My bad.

It's nobody's bad.

Just return my f*cking phone calls.

You have a hostile tone.

No. I have a cordial tone.

I'm being very cordial.

I tried to give you
information via telephone,

but you refused to
accept my phone calls,

so I've had to knock on your door,

which has been an
inconvenience for us both.

I live here.

And you're making me very uncomfortable.

I do not feel safe in the home

- that I am lawfully inhabiting.
- Mnh. Nope. Nope.

- Yes.
- No, sir.

Yes. Your tone...

it's aggressive and alarming.

So, uh, get off the property,
or I will call the police.

Whoa.

What the f*ck are you doing, man?

Get out of my house.

I'm showing this house on Thursday.

That's all.

Yeah, well, you just f*cked up.

(DOOR SLAMS)

f*ck.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(GRUNTING)

Oh, you're so f*cking big!

Where is it?

Damn, you keep grabbing my balls.

Ouch.

Cheating m*therf*cker.

Oh! (LAUGHS)

What's the matter, old man?

You hurt your hand? What's going on?

Fighting dirty.

My hand is sore.

You're out of shape.

Yeah. Ohh.

I had a few last night.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

With who?

Friends.

What friends, huh?

Female friends?

Huh?

Don't be putting a... a baby
in any of those friends.

(LAUGHS)

I don't want you ending
up like your brother.

That's a very nice thing to
say about your granddaughter.

I love that kid, man.

I'm just saying, you
know, you have a baby,

you got to give up on the
things that you want.

Didn't seem to slow you down.

- Nothing does.
- (GROANS)

Two more?

As many as you want, kid.

ALVEY: Nothing.

Up! Up!

Coming to dinner tonight?

What are you making? Huh?

- What are you making?
- (GRUNTS)

What do you mean, what am I making?

Are you coming to dinner?
You'll eat what I make.

What I make you're gonna eat, right?

Ohh! (LAUGHS)

- WOMAN: Good morning, Mr. Mooney.
- MAN: Good morning...

This is Kayla with the double D's.

Hey.

Hi, Kayla.

I'm Christina.

Hey, listen to her if you
want to stay around.

Shannon.

Shannon. (CHUCKLES)

Oh, my god, you guys are...
you guys are so cute.

I actually... I used to have that top.

- It's really cute.
- Thank you.

Come on. I'll get you settled in.

CHRISTINA: You'll be sharing
a room with Skylar.

It's comfy.

The bathroom's in the hall.

There's plenty of food in the kitchen.

You can help yourself
to whatever you want

as long as there's nobody's name on it.

And if there's anything
special you want for snacks,

put it on the list on the fridge.

Is this where I do my shows?

Sometimes.

We have double beds in the other rooms.

Yeah. Terry said I'm doing one tonight,

so I'm so f*cking excited.

Have you, uh, ever done VIP?

Yeah, like, all the time.

It's mostly, like, all I did in Florida.

Ah.

Oh, wait, I wanted to show you.

Um, Terry already got me,
like, new followers.

I only have , but I
just started this one.

Amber Taylor.

Do you like that?

Or are there, like, too
many Ambers already?

No such thing as too many Ambers.

God, I'm gonna blow
the f*ck up out here.

I love L.A.

- (CHUCKLES)
- (WOMAN MOANING IN DISTANCE)

- Hey, Shel.
- Hey.

Is there a guy named
Dominick here to see me?

Yes. He is, um, on the mat with Juan.

That sh*t, right?

Very simple.

It's there for you,

- especially being a wrestler.
- Yes.

- Nice job.
- Thank you.

LISA: Dominick?

- Hi. I'm Lisa Prince.
- Hi, Lisa. How are you?

- Sorry I'm late.
- No. It's okay.

I met Juan over here.

- He's a k*ller.
- Yeah.

We'll just go back in my office.

I quit fighting about six years ago,

went to business school, got a good job,

you know, lots of money,

mortgage, you know,
steaks in the freezer,

all of it.

Never been more miserable
in my f*cking life.

- God. You and every other ex-fighter.
- No, no, no.

It's... It's different for me.

You know, I-I don't go chasing that.

You know, I can't do what
I used to do, right?

So, that's life.

I accept it and move on.

I just felt that, you know,

I had a lot more to give, you know?

And, uh, I realized that
I'm a lot better coach

than I ever was as a fighter.

So, maybe it's 'cause
my mom was an educator,

but whatever it is, I know that this...

this is what I'm meant to do, you know?

(SNIFFS)

You moved to L.A. four months ago?

- Yeah. From Jersey.
- Why?

It's turning .

Having a mid-life, you know?

I just needed to shake things up.

Why?

Can I say it's personal reasons,

and we just leave it at that?

Yeah.

Not if you want a job.

I don't want to sh*t-talk on anyone.

The guy whose gym it was...

I didn't like the way he did business.

How so?

He was managing them, too,

wasn't paying them bonuses right,

putting them in shitty fights,

setting them up to fail.

He was f*cking greedy.

Not for me.

I manage a lot of the fighters here.

Do you have a problem with that?

No, ma'am.

I did my homework on you.

You got a good reputation.

People respect you.

I just want to be with people
who do things the right way.

You do things the right way.

CHRISTINA: Hi, Maya.

Hello, beautiful girl.

(GASPS) Hi.

You know, I'm pissed at you.

Why?

You haven't even called
me in three weeks.

Phone works both ways, though.

I don't like having
to invite myself over

to see my granddaughter,
my baby granddaughter.

Mom, you're right.

I'm gonna call more.

(LIGHTER FLICKING)

Where's Amy?

She's getting a cavity filled.

She's gonna be home soon.

I got to go back to work.

(DOG BARKING)

- (LIGHTER CLATTERS)
- You two hanging in there?

We're tired.

Babies are hard.

You need to be there for her, Jay.

However tired you are,

it's a thousand times worse for her.

(CELLPHONE VIBRATING)

Isn't that right?

Isn't that right?

(CELLPHONE VIBRATING)

Your phone's buzzing.

Who is it?

Um...

Dan?

(CELLPHONE VIBRATING)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Dan.

Yeah.

That's not how it happened.

Yeah, I understand.

I can be there in minutes.

It could even be sooner.

I-I just, uh...

I've... I've got a child issue, so...

I got to go to work.

You need me to watch her?

No. Amy will be home soon.

I'm just gonna put her down for her nap.

We're getting her baptized.

You'll be there.

CHRISTINA: Catholic? Yeah.

Well, I think that's really nice.

Even if you don't believe in it,
it's good to have the morals.

You'll be there?

Of course I'll be there.

- ALVEY: (EXHALES SHARPLY)
- MAC: All right.

- There you go.
- Thank you, pal.

How you want to do this going forward?

Uh, no change, man.

Fight's in California, right?

- No TRT.
- ALVEY: Yeah, but I, uh...

I don't have to piss
until I sign a contract,

and I'm... I'm not gonna sign
a contract till the day of.

What's Garo gonna do, right?

Yeah, but they got all this sh*t now

that they don't even
know how to test for.

Mac, I just want to...

I just want to keep
what I got here, pal.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

ALVEY: Come in.

Hey, Mac. Okay.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

ALVEY: Hi.

How long you gonna keep that up for?

I don't know. No deal,
no test, you know.

Gotcha.

I got a coach I want you to meet.

- Who?
- Dom Ramos.

- Where's he from?
- East Coast.

Kenny from Black House
said that he wanted him,

but he didn't have the room.

Oh, you're k*lling me with
these f*cking meetings.

- How many more of them I got to do?
- Three more...

after this one.

- He's here?
- Mm-hmm. In my office.

Come. See for yourself.

All right, I'll be right there.

I'll be right there.

(SIGHS) Jesus Christ.

Did you push your way into the house?

I spoke to him in his front door...

- But were you...
- in his jamb on the door.

- Were you in the man's house?
- No! f*ck, no!

Jay, were you in the man's house?

f*ck.

(GROANS)

Dude, I just spent minutes

trying to convince him not
to file a police report.

- Police report?
- Yeah.

He provoked me.

- Wait. He provoked you?
- He f*cking provoked me,

and he's gonna file a police report?

Yeah. What are you, a f*cking wild dog?

Get a grip, okay?

Look, the guy... he's an assh*le, okay?

I'd like to sh**t him
in the f*cking face,

but I don't because I
have a lot to lose.

Oh, man, you're... Look,
you're a nice guy, okay?

But you're acting crazy,

and I just... I can't...
I can't get sued.

Maybe this isn't for you, man.

(SIGHS)

- Yes, it is.
- No, I...

- Yes, it is, Dan.
- I don't... I don't see it.

- Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan.
- I don't... I don't see it.

- I don't see it, dude. I don't...
- Dan, Dan.

What?

- Listen to me.
- Mm-hmm.

I have a daughter.

I can do better.

I can.

But I cannot lose this job.

So, I'm asking you.

I'm begging you.

I have two kids.

This is my business, man.

All right, go home.

You're done for the day.

I'm taking you off the Culver house.

We're gonna give you
new listings tomorrow.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(CELLPHONE RINGING)

I don't have an offer.

Nothing?

f*ck, man.

The UFC loves you.

The offer is coming.

These things always take
longer than they should.

KEITH: Ryan?

Hello?

Yeah, yeah, I'm here.

Why haven't they offered yet?

Sean Shelby's traveling.

Well, then just talk to somebody else.

I'm not going to call them.

It looks weak.

Lisa, all due respect,

you said that I was gonna have leverage.

And you do.

Well, it doesn't feel like it

because there's not even an offer

and they're treating me like sh*t,

so f*ck them.

Take a deep breath and let it play out.

Hey, hey, if they...
if they f*ck around,

they're gonna lose me.

You tell them that.

(CELLPHONE BEEPING)

m*therf*cker.

Are you finished?

(BLENDER WHIRRING)

(WHIRRING STOPS)

You want some shake?

- DOM: No, I'm good.
- No?

I need a good shake.

So, you, uh... you're
primarily a striker?

Yeah, yeah.

I got a black belt in BJJ,

so I can help you out there, too, so...

(GROANS) I got Joe Daddy for that.

Uh, you know, basically I
need somebody to hold pads,

- move around with these guys.
- All right.

- I'll do that all day.
- Good.

Why'd you leave your last gym?
What happened?

- Female.
- Mm.

Hand to God.

But I learned my lesson, though.

Yeah. We all do.

Where you from?

You sound... You sound familiar.

The Bronx.

- Puerto Rican.
- Wow.

You don't get many Puerto
Ricans in the Bronx,

- now, do you?
- (LAUGHS)

South Bronx, not Puerto Rican.

Yeah. No, no, I know where you're from.

King Kulina casts a
long shadow, brother.

Well, I don't know about that.

You do. You do.

You ever head back?

- To New York?
- Yeah.

Nah. It's f*cking cold.

What do I want to go back there for?

- Yeah, freeze your f*cking balls off.
- Yeah.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah. So, Lisa...

she told you that I'm gonna fight again?

Mm-hmm. I think it's great.

Well, it's that or it's a sh*t-show.

Who knows?

Either way, I'm gonna need somebody

to pick up the slack while I'm training.

(SNIFFS) All right. Well, listen.

I can take on as much or
as little as you need.

- Whatever lightens your load, I got it.
- Okay.

All right.

Yeah, that's great. That's great.

I, uh... Well, that's it.

I mean, you have any other
questions, you call Lisa.

Uh, I think we're seeing
a couple more people,

but, you know, we'll let you know

- next day or so.
- Cool.

- All right?
- Yeah.

- Good. Thanks for coming down.
- Hey.

It's an honor to meet you, really.

- Nah.
- No. It is. It's an honor.

If I didn't make it clear,

I really want to be a part of this.

All right.

All right. We'll talk soon, all right?

- Yes, sir.
- Thanks, man.

Yeah.

f*ck.

Come on.

Terry will set up the camera,

make sure you're lit.

- You know how to stream video?
- Yeah.

What service do you guys use?

I don't remember the name,

but, um, we'll start you at $ a minute.

And if you bring in more guys,

you can charge whatever you want.

- Just got to get them hooked?
- Yeah.

Now, remember, you run the show.

If some guy asks you to do something

and you don't feel comfortable,

you cut them off.

You're in charge.

Hey, I mean, it's cool.

Most guys just need a friend.

TERRY: Change of plans.

Get dressed.

Where is she going?

TERRY: Glendale to do a scene.

Hey, it's cold out!

Get your... Grab your coat!

Those guys are f*cking assholes.

She just got here.

I have got a f*cking headache, Chrissy.

I don't want to f*cking
talk about it, okay?

This is her first night.

Let her do the cam show.

She's not ready for this.

How the f*ck do you know
what she's ready for?

Come on.

Hey, what's under them sweats?

Should I change them?

No, keep them.

But take this.

Whoo!

Let's go.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(DOOR CLOSES)

What'd you think of Dom?

Eh.

You don't like anyone.

He's okay.

"He's okay."

All right, did you like him

more or less than the others?

I liked him more or less.

- You're k*lling me.
- (CHUCKLES)

What the f*ck do you want? I
spoke to him for minutes.

- What do you want me to tell you?
- And whose fault is that?

I talked to Juan.

He said he was all right, he was good,

he had some good ideas, he liked him.


You like him, right?

I like him for the money,
but I can keep looking.

Mnh. No. No, no, no.

Enough with these desperate c**ts.

Really, it's depressing me.

Yeah, well, we're scraping the bottom

of the desperate-c**t barrel right now,

so we really need to make a decision.

No. Just hire him.

Go. It's good. It's good.

I'm... I'm excited.

I'll call him tonight.

Don't hurt yourself.

That's very funny.

Wouldn't hurt you to exercise a bit.

(LAUGHING) Oh, God.

(GRUNTS)

( ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

It's game time, baby.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

(DOGS BARKING)

Dude, we're trying to put the
f*cking baby down, dude.

- f*ck, man. I'm...
- Are you kidding me?

I'm sorry, dude. I didn't f*cking know.

- Hey...
- What the f*ck you wearing, man?

It's a Jay Kulina special.
That's what this is.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Looks like it's off the rack.

Looks highly f*cking flammable.

I'd never f*cking wear that sh*t.

- Go get dressed.
- We're going out.

I'm not going anywhere, man.
I got to go down.

- Dude, dude.
- What?

I have a limousine sitting out there.

Go get dressed. We're going.

Yeah. I'm f*cking broke, dude.

- I can't afford a g*dd*mn drink.
- Hey, hey, Garo's paying.

He wants me to sign.

Everything is covered.

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

Hey, when was the last f*cking time

- we hung out, bro?
- Shh.

No. When's the last time we hung out?

I miss my f*cking friend, man.

No h*m*. I miss you, bro.

Stop.

What, are you gonna make
me f*cking go alone?

Shh.

Look, I'm gonna sit in a
f*cking limousine by myself?

- Come on, man.
- Let me talk to Amy.

- Put a f*cking suit on.
- Shut up.

- Put a f*cking suit on.
- Shut the f*ck up.

Never bang on this f*cking
door at night again.

Okay.

I'm gonna be out in a minute.

- Shh.
- Just go in the f*cking... Go!

Thank you, Amy.

Yeah. Yeah.

super excited, super excited.

I got to be honest with you.

I thought I, um... I thought I...

I thought I f*cked it up with Alvey.

No. He just hates interviews.
Don't worry about it.

It's all good.

I f*cking hate them, too.

So, like I said, the
job pays $ a week,

and there's no benefits.

(SIREN WAILING)

Why is there no benefits?

I told you that before.

Right.

Can you do...

Can you do $ , ?

( ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

ALVEY: Garo's gonna pay
me a sh*t-ton of money.

- You want to know why?
- Why?

'Cause I'm a f*cking legend.

(CHUCKLES)

I am a f*cking legend.

- You are.
- And that's why they call it a Legends fight.

- You are definitely a legend.
- (LAUGHS) Yeah.

Mm.

Honor thy father.

(GLASS CLINKS)

Mmm. f*ck.

You think I'm too old?

Yeah.

You f*cking think I'm too old?

I think you're an old man

with old-man balls.

- Hmm?

All right, you need to back up.

- You think I'm too old?
- Yes.

- Really?
- All right, you need to back up.

- What are you gonna do?
- What's that?

- Ooh.

Oh, where you going, big guy?
Where you going?

Whoa!

Think I'm gonna break your hip.
You're gonna break my hip?

(LAUGHS)

I'll put you through
the window, you c**t.

- Ahh!
- All right, we're gonna break something.

I can't afford to replace anything.

All right, on three, we're
gonna let each other go.

On three, on three.

Oh, I love you so much.

(LAUGHS)

One, two, three.

Ahh! (LAUGHS)

You cocksucker.

No, seriously, seriously, seriously.

Seriously. I got a stomachache.

On three.

One, two, three.

(LAUGHS)

Ahh.

Mnh.

That's old-man strength, my friend.

Well, something.

You want pizza?

Sure.

Word.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Who do you want to fight?

Uh... Hughes.

I want to fight Hughes,
that f*cking farm boy.

I got a score to settle with him.

He's tough.

Yeah. So what?

I'll f*cking b*at him.

I'm not gonna embarrass you.

I wouldn't do it if I
didn't think I could.

We'll get you ready.

( UP-TEMPO DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

GARO: Run. Be free.

Yeah, be free.

Having fun?

Yeah, it is very nice.

(CHUCKLES)

All for you, my friend, all for you.

Let me tell you something.

If you ever want to come back,

you always, always have a home with me.

No?

Okay.

(SNIFFING)

Aah. Ahh.

How's your brother?

Nate could use a fight.

Eh.

Can we have an awkward conversation?

Fire away, Garo.

(SNIFFS)

Do you know why Nate's fight fell apart?

Yeah. Dixon got hurt.

No, that's not what happened.

(SNIFFS)

There's a rumor that
your brother's a f*g.

I'm not saying it.

I'm not saying it.

- He's not.
- No.

He's not.

- Who the f*ck is saying that?
- Eh, many people...

Whoa! Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm just
talking that it's just out there!

It's just out there! Take it easy, man!

RYAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's okay. He's drunk. He's drunk.
It's okay.

Relax. We're gonna have a fun time.

- Jesus.
- Relax.

(CELLPHONE RINGING)

Hey. What's up?

Man, you got a problem.

What?

Um... people know, man.

People know what?

Um, about you.

Garo just told me

that Dixon pulled out of the fight

because he heard you were f*cking gay.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

f*ck. f*ck.

Casey.

You told Casey?

She looked through my phone
a year and a half ago,

and she f*cking told
her cousin in Anaheim.

Okay, f*cking Dixon trains in Anaheim.

f*ck.

Oh, my God.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Is... Is Garo running his mouth?

No.

I threatened his life in a
very f*cking credible way.

He's not gonna say sh*t, but...
it's out there.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

f*ck.

I'm just telling you.

Alvey's gonna find out.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay? Okay.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GRUNTS)

MAN: ,

Dana went into rehab for a second time.

With meth-addiction statistics
at a % recovery rate,


the odds were against her,

but Dana's family remained hopeful...

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

(DOOR CLOSES)

What happened?

(DOOR SLAMS IN DISTANCE)

She's fine. She did a scene.

(SIGHS) f*ck.

(CLEARS THROAT)

What's wrong with you?

I feel like sh*t.

My whole f*cking body hurts.

You should go to the doctor.

Shut the f*ck up, please, and go away.

( INDISTINCT SPEAKING ON TV)

Kayla?

Kayla, let me in, sweetie.

Come on.

(WATER RUNNING)

(LOCK ENGAGES)

What did they do?

(WATER STOPS)

Did you vomit?

Yeah. They wanted me to.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

It was for a fetish site.

They were really respectful,

and I think they got the
scene that they wanted.

They seemed really happy.

Uh, I don't want to be a bitch.

Can I just take a bath?

I just kind of want to be alone.

Of course, sweetie.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

(WHIMPERS)

(WOMAN MOANING IN DISTANCE)

ALVEY: I love f*cking drinking.

Love the culture of it, you know?

Around the world.

Germans and Chinese and Mongolians,

f*cking Chileans...

We're all f*cking drinking.

You know why that is?

Three reasons.

Number one is we are slaves to ritual.

Same reason why I f*cking
train every day.

Men crave the same sh*t day in, day out,

same f*cking time, like dogs.

Without ritual,

there is no rhyme or f*cking reason,

which of course, there isn't anyway.

But, uh...

you got to go in blind and buy the myth.

What are the other two?

Pain relief and p*ssy.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

You should write a book.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Maybe I will.

(INHALES SHARPLY, GROANS)

Mm.

Listen, the sh...

the sh*t I was...

I was saying earlier about Jay...

you know, it just... it came out wrong.

I didn't... I didn't... I didn't
mean it the way it sounded.

No, no, I know he loves the baby. I do.

I just...

You know, you have a kid,

you got to f*cking sacrifice a lot.

And then next thing you know,

you're f*cking selling real estate,

and I know he doesn't want to do that.

It's worth it to him.

I mean, he loves Maya... and Amy, too.

I know. I know.

I know he loves that baby,

and she's good for him... Amy.

She's a... She's a good kid.

And I, you know... I don't know.

I just... Just be careful, all right?

That's what I'm saying.

Yeah.

You all right?

Yeah.

I think I'm gonna go, though.

I'm gonna go home.

Yeah? So early?

I'm tired.

All right.

It was good, yeah?

It was a good meal.

I'll... I'll see you
tomorrow, all right?

I think I'm actually gonna
take a couple days off.

Yeah.

But I'll, uh... I'll see
you at the baptism.

What baptism?

For Maya?

(CLEARS THROAT)

Jay didn't mention anything about it.

Who's... Who going?

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Uh, Mom, Ryan, Lisa.

Lisa?

Hmm. Never said a word to me.

Okay.

All right, good. Don't worry about it.

It's all right. We'll figure it out.

All right. Leave it. Leave it. Leave it.

You okay to drive?

- Yeah.
- All right.

- We'll talk.
- Yeah.

- Be careful.
- Yep.

( ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(HAND SLAPS)

Ladies, we need some privacy.

I love you. Okay.

Give us a second.

RYAN: Mmm.

- (EXHALES HEAVILY)
- What is this?

This is the part of my job that I love.

This is where I get to
change a friend's life.

I have two things in my possession.

Both belong to you.

Would you like to know what they are?

- Yes, I would.
- All right.

This is $ , in cash.

And this is a contract.

If you sign the contract,

the cash is yours.

grand, Garo?

grand.

Let me get this straight.

You think that an eight ball

and some titties in my face

are gonna convince me
to f*cking bend over

for $ , , Garo?

No. No. I don't think this.

The grand is a signing bonus,

under the table, tax-free.

The contract...

The contract...

is three fights for the sum of $ , .

Now, if you sign right now,

you get the cash and the deal.

But if you don't, the
deal's off the table.

Ryan, the UFC will offer,
but it won't be close.

Let's f*cking do it!

- Yes!
- Let's do it!

Yes!

(SNIFFS)

Take it easy.

Hey, hey, hey, take it easy.

I need you sober. You're
gonna be training.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Ah! Yeah!

Hi. This is Jay Kulina.

(PHONE CLICKS)

f*ck.

(GROANS)

(CELLPHONE VIBRATING)

What?

ALVEY: Don't send me to voicemail.

The baby's sleeping.

Is there something wrong?

I heard you're getting Maya baptized.

Your brother told me.

We don't have a date yet.

I'd like to be there.

Mm.

Well, I will let you know
when we have a date.

I'm sorry for calling so late.

Good night.
