You know where it's at? Your mind's on winning, son! Get up.
Turn around.
Loose.
Keep these loose, loose, loose, loose.
I can't believe you didn't give me Nate's first fight back.
You didn't have a spot for him.
- I was working on it.
- Really? 'Cause it kind of seemed like you were slow-playing us to see if he was healthy.
- Is that what you think? - Yeah.
I do.
Also, I heard about the Ryan deal.
Six fights at a frozen rate.
That is fucking extortion.
Now, hold on.
We all got a little dirty on that one.
It's for the best.
Right.
Okay.
Whatever you say.
Hey, let's not fight.
How are you? How is the baby? There he is.
Man of the hour.
Hey, Garo.
How are you? I'm sorry I'm late.
Who wants to start? Before we begin, I would like to reiterate my sincere and most humble apologies for any role that I might have played in the skirmish the other night.
Well, it was more than just a skirmish.
It was embarrassing.
You make us look like barbarians.
Let's move on.
Obviously, we have a problem here.
Jay's fights keep falling apart.
It's costing us money.
I know it's costing you money.
I agree.
It's not good.
It's not good at all.
But I may have a solution.
Excuse me.
I have to take this.
Jay.
You guys continue doing what you do.
I'm the talent, you know? I probably shouldn't be hearing this shit anyways.
Hello? Laura: You are so fucking hot.
What? I'm looking at pictures from the shoot this morning.
Oh, yeah? I look good? Well, I haven't gotten dressed yet, if that tells you anything.
Yes, it does.
What are you doing? I'm calling you back.
Um, yeah.
Flag on the play.
Is it possible to meet there? I thought you were picking me up.
Yeah, I was planning to, but my mom wants to come, and she doesn't have a car, so unless you want to squeeze three in a cab, you know I don't mind.
I-I want to meet her.
- You're sure? - Yeah, positive.
Yeah, no problem.
I will pick you up.
Hey.
I want you here right now.
I know.
Me too.
Well, where are you? I'm talking to some promoter, so I should probably get back.
Once again, I have to take care of myself.
Forgive me.
Well What did I miss? You missed me having an amazing idea.
- May I? - Go right ahead.
What do you value the most in this world, Jay? Money, respect, women, glory? - All that shit.
- Yeah.
These things I just named, my friend, these are the spoils of a champion.
He wants you to fight Ryan.
Think about it.
Ryan Wheeler Jay Kulina.
One has blond hair, the other has brown hair.
Friends, rivals Enemies? Perhaps? Either way, I'd buy a ticket for that.
Okay, we'll talk about it.
I am intrigued.
Is that a yes? Lisa handles all my logistics, but I am very, very taken by this idea.
You you, sir You're an impresario.
We'll get back to you, Garo.
I like that.
I like your fucking style.
Okay, but don't fuck me around.
I have to move on something, you know At least something for Wheeler after that shit show he pulled last time.
What do you think? It's interesting.
It's definitely good for Garo.
I don't know if it's good for you.
It's a title fight, Lisa.
How is it not good? You're just building momentum.
What if you lose? Yeah, what if I win? That's the real problem, though, isn't it, huh? 'Cause it fucks with your and Alvey's plan with Ryan.
I don't have a plan for Ryan.
Lisa - Are you managing me - Oh, god.
Or are you managing Alvey's business? You.
But it's complicated, and don't act like you can't understand that.
I appreciate the complications.
I do.
But I want this fight.
However you have to work that out with Alvey, that's what I want.
Yes, ma'am! I want this fight! Jamal, Jamal, there's no way.
My son is gonna take me to the emergency room.
That's how bad I feel right now.
Yes.
Well, yeah.
I called Madison.
She didn't pick up.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Bye.
Yo.
Yo! - Yo.
- Yo.
Yo.
How you feeling? The next person that asks me that, I'm gonna rip their fucking head off.
Copy that.
- What did Garo say? - Um Well, things Are afoot, Nathaniel.
Indeed they are.
What does that mean? Well, things are afoot.
I can't say much more than that.
Nate I'm gonna leave you here.
But, um, hey - Mom wants to come tonight.
- Isn't she working? I guess not.
Oh! Wheeler! Wheeler, Wheeler! Look at you prancing like an elk.
What? What is that? Piss? Yeah.
It's still warm.
You want a sip? Is Alvey making you do that? Yeah, I guess I can't be trusted.
The fuck are you looking at? Nothing.
Avert your eyes, young man.
What the fuck? You fucking didn't.
Let me put my piss down.
Fucking whore.
Garo's a promoter.
That's his job.
- I mean, it is a good fight.
- Aw, come on.
I can't have my guys fight each other.
It's a goddamn soap opera.
Wait, you think Jay can win? Maybe.
Or Ryan just fucking annihilates him.
Either way, we lose one of our top fighters.
We can't afford that right now.
Jesus Christ.
You got to get Jay to back off of this thing.
Oh, yeah.
Or what? - Or he's gonna trade to someone else.
- No, no, no, no.
Don't even put me in that position.
Yeah.
What am I gonna do? I mean, is he stuck on doing this? - Jay wants the fight.
- It's fucking Garo.
That's what that is.
What do you think? I think it's everything that you said, but I see Jay's point.
This is a title fight.
Sorry to interrupt.
Where do you want this? On my desk.
You done for the day? No, I'm still putting some work in.
I'm fighting the war on drugs.
Jay thinks you don't care about his career.
That's how he's gonna take this.
All right, let me Let me Let me get through this thing with Nate tonight - and then I'll talk to Jay, all right? - No, I know.
Yeah.

I know how to do my own face.

Okay.
How's this hamstring? That's good.
Aw, you look good, man.
You look better than I've ever seen you look.
No shitting.
You worked hard.
You're fast.
You're explosive.
Your fucking head's in the right place.
It's gonna feel like you're shot out of a Cannon.
Trust me.
I got you.
- You got to control that.

She's - What happened? Well, she's pissed off about something.
- What did you do? - I didn't do shit.
What did you do? Training, you know.
She doesn't fucking get it.
Ah, they never make it through training camp.
None of them.
Not one of them.
Don't bother with girls.
They're no good for you.
Anyway, what's your mind on? Taking the guy out in front of me.
You know where it's at? Your mind's on winning, son! Get up.
Turn around.
Loose.
Keep these loose, loose, loose, loose.
I can't believe you didn't give me Nate's first fight back.
You didn't have a spot for him.
- I was working on it.
- Really? 'Cause it kind of seemed like you were slow-playing us to see if he was healthy.
- Is that what you think? - Yeah.
I do.
Also, I heard about the Ryan deal.
Six fights at a frozen rate.
That is fucking extortion.
Now, hold on.
We all got a little dirty on that one.
It's for the best.
Right.
Okay.
Whatever you say.
Hey, let's not fight.
How are you? How is the baby? There he is.
Man of the hour.
Hey, Garo.
How are you? I'm sorry I'm late.
Who wants to start? Before we begin, I would like to reiterate my sincere and most humble apologies for any role that I might have played in the skirmish the other night.
Well, it was more than just a skirmish.
It was embarrassing.
You make us look like barbarians.
Let's move on.
Obviously, we have a problem here.
Jay's fights keep falling apart.
It's costing us money.
I know it's costing you money.
I agree.
It's not good.
It's not good at all.
But I may have a solution.
Excuse me.
I have to take this.
Jay.
You guys continue doing what you do.
I'm the talent, you know? I probably shouldn't be hearing this shit anyways.
Hello? Laura: You are so fucking hot.
What? I'm looking at pictures from the shoot this morning.
Oh, yeah? I look good? Well, I haven't gotten dressed yet, if that tells you anything.
Yes, it does.
What are you doing? I'm calling you back.
Um, yeah.
Flag on the play.
Is it possible to meet there? I thought you were picking me up.
Yeah, I was planning to, but my mom wants to come, and she doesn't have a car, so unless you want to squeeze three in a cab, you know I don't mind.
I-I want to meet her.
- You're sure? - Yeah, positive.
Yeah, no problem.
I will pick you up.
Hey.
I want you here right now.
I know.
Me too.
Well, where are you? I'm talking to some promoter, so I should probably get back.
Once again, I have to take care of myself.
Forgive me.
Well What did I miss? You missed me having an amazing idea.
- May I? - Go right ahead.
What do you value the most in this world, Jay? Money, respect, women, glory? - All that shit.
- Yeah.
These things I just named, my friend, these are the spoils of a champion.
He wants you to fight Ryan.
Think about it.
Ryan Wheeler Jay Kulina.
One has blond hair, the other has brown hair.
Friends, rivals Enemies? Perhaps? Either way, I'd buy a ticket for that.
Okay, we'll talk about it.
I am intrigued.
Is that a yes? Lisa handles all my logistics, but I am very, very taken by this idea.
You you, sir You're an impresario.
We'll get back to you, Garo.
I like that.
I like your fucking style.
Okay, but don't fuck me around.
I have to move on something, you know At least something for Wheeler after that shit show he pulled last time.
What do you think? It's interesting.
It's definitely good for Garo.
I don't know if it's good for you.
It's a title fight, Lisa.
How is it not good? You're just building momentum.
What if you lose? Yeah, what if I win? That's the real problem, though, isn't it, huh? 'Cause it fucks with your and Alvey's plan with Ryan.
I don't have a plan for Ryan.
Lisa - Are you managing me - Oh, god.
Or are you managing Alvey's business? You.
But it's complicated, and don't act like you can't understand that.
I appreciate the complications.
I do.
But I want this fight.
However you have to work that out with Alvey, that's what I want.
Yes, ma'am! I want this fight! Jamal, Jamal, there's no way.
My son is gonna take me to the emergency room.
That's how bad I feel right now.
Yes.
Well, yeah.
I called Madison.
She didn't pick up.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Bye.
Yo.
Yo! - Yo.
- Yo.
Yo.
How you feeling? The next person that asks me that, I'm gonna rip their fucking head off.
Copy that.
- What did Garo say? - Um Well, things Are afoot, Nathaniel.
Indeed they are.
What does that mean? Well, things are afoot.
I can't say much more than that.
Nate I'm gonna leave you here.
But, um, hey - Mom wants to come tonight.
- Isn't she working? I guess not.
Oh! Wheeler! Wheeler, Wheeler! Look at you prancing like an elk.
What? What is that? Piss? Yeah.
It's still warm.
You want a sip? Is Alvey making you do that? Yeah, I guess I can't be trusted.
The fuck are you looking at? Nothing.
Avert your eyes, young man.
What the fuck? You fucking didn't.
Let me put my piss down.
Fucking whore.
Garo's a promoter.
That's his job.
- I mean, it is a good fight.
- Aw, come on.
I can't have my guys fight each other.
It's a goddamn soap opera.
Wait, you think Jay can win? Maybe.
Or Ryan just fucking annihilates him.
Either way, we lose one of our top fighters.
We can't afford that right now.
Jesus Christ.
You got to get Jay to back off of this thing.
Oh, yeah.
Or what? - Or he's gonna trade to someone else.
- No, no, no, no.
Don't even put me in that position.
Yeah.
What am I gonna do? I mean, is he stuck on doing this? - Jay wants the fight.
- It's fucking Garo.
That's what that is.
What do you think? I think it's everything that you said, but I see Jay's point.
This is a title fight.
Sorry to interrupt.
Where do you want this? On my desk.
You done for the day? No, I'm still putting some work in.
I'm fighting the war on drugs.
Jay thinks you don't care about his career.
That's how he's gonna take this.
All right, let me Let me Let me get through this thing with Nate tonight - and then I'll talk to Jay, all right? - No, I know.
Yeah.
Mom, we got to go! Mom, it's 6:15.
We're gonna be late.
- We got to go.
- I'm hurrying.
I told you 6:00.
You've had all day.
If you keep rushing me, it's just gonna take longer.
Mom, please.
Don't put on all that much.
Thank you, Jay.
I know how to do my own face.
Geez.
This girl's got you on edge.
How do I look? You look perfect.
Let's go.
Please.

Maybe you need a drink.

It's an experience, that's for sure.
Well, I'm sure you're used to it by now.
Not really.
But that's what this is for.
Hey.

I was angry, and I took the opportunity to punish you.
For that, I'm sorry.
I understand if this is too much to come here.
I mean, I don't expect it.
I'd like to, if that's okay.
