[Breathes deeply.]
[Bang on hood.]
[Door dinging.]
[Indistinct conversations.]

You're gonna give me shit about a measly $4? I I'll give it to you myself.
You're on the grill, and you need to empty the grease trap.
Whoever closes is supposed to do that.
Well, they didn't, so change the grease.

See you.
The cubs have different characters What are you gonna do today? This.
Their game is always delightful.

Yeah.
That's 'cause [Clears throat.]
there's a lot of shows that I mostly the adult females who do the hunting.
As you can see [remote thuds.]
[Exhales sharply.]
You can't just sit here all day, man.
You're getting depressed.
You know, that's not good.
I know, but there's nothing to do.
I mean, we don't have a pool.
There's no puzzles.
- I'm not even good at the Internet - Why don't you get a job? I'm not the guy that gets jobs, Ryan.
I'm usually weeded out during the hiring process.
Well Maybe you can, uh Maybe you can help me out.
How could I do that? Just take care of the stuff I don't have time to do.
Oh.
Clean this shit up.
I don't know.
So, are you but are you asking me to be your assistant? Well, let's not I Let's not put a title on it.
- Let's just - Okay, Ryan, I'm not trying to play hardball here.
That's not what this is about.
But I want to ins I can't I'm not gonna pay you, Keith.
I know, but I just need to insist on having the title.
That way, I will be able to define Okay.
Yeah.
The the parameters of our relationship.
Okay.
Okay.
You're my assistant.
[Dog barking.]
For Yeah.
I accept.
[Sighs.]
All right.
Welcome aboard.
[Sighs heavily.]
That was intense.
Did you feel that? [Telephone ringing.]
How about Habib? It's a bad matchup.
Who else? Dominique Wilder? No.
He's on fucking steroids.
Who else? [Sighs.]
Wilson Aguilar.
He won't make weight in a million years.
Well, fuck, man, why don't you have Ryan fight himself? Why you being so fucking difficult? 'Cause you gave me a good fucking, Garo, and now I'm in your life, so deal with it.
Who else? Trevor Derricks.
He's a striker.
Trevor Derricks.
I don't know him.
He works out of, uh, South beach now.
Knockout power? Eh.
[Mockingly.]
"Eh.
Eh.
" I'll talk to Ryan.
And now Jay how do I make him happy? Give him a title fight? [Chuckles.]
He's in a new division.
He has to work his way up.
He wants a title fight.
Well, I want to suck my own dick, but, you know, some things in life are just out of reach.
You asked, "how do I make him happy?" I'm saying give him a title fight.
If I do that, the 10 guys in front of him will go ape-shit.
Oh, will you remind me to call Mario Goldsmith at Splitlip? There's a promoter who buried his best fighter's drug test and then extorted a shitty deal from him.
Hey, he's ass deep in that, too.
Yeah, but he's a coach who's just doing his best to protect his fighter, and you're the shady motherfucker who tried to extort him.
I mean, you're the bad guy, Garo.
"Gar-oh.
" "Gar-oh.
" Arr-o, not "gare-oh.
" How long have I known you fucking people? Okay, fine.
I'll give you your fucking fight.
You two deserve each other.
[Indistinct singing.]
[Brake squeal, tires screech.]
[Engine shuts off.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What? - You're gonna be cool in there, right? - Yes.
Okay.
- Couple things - Okay.
Do not talk to anybody Unless they talk to you first.
That's fine, but it's like prison rules.
- Got it? - I've been to prison.
Yeah.
Okay.
Second don't touch any of the equipment.
Do not mess with anybody's shit.
Don't sit on the bags.
And do not, under any circumstances, walk on the mats with your shoes on.
Sounds like Japan.
You with me, Keith? Yeah, I'm [Sighs.]
Ryan, yes.
[Door closes.]
Ryan: What's up? Hey.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, you know it wasn't me, right? - What? - You dropping weight.
I didn't even hear about it till afterwards, and Alvey never even asked me if I wanted the fucking fight.
- Then - What? - Don't worry about it.
- All right.
We're cool.
I'm not ducking you.
Nobody thinks you are.
All right.
Stay strong.
I would never take money out of your pocket.
No shit, man.
I would bite your fucking hand off.
I don't know.
It doesn't make me look too slutty? You look hot, and we are marketing towards men, so I guess you kind of have to lean into it.
Yeah, it is a tits-and-ass kind of world.
All right, which one do you think should I get? Well, we'll get a couple, and then you can decide.
Yeah.
You know I can't pay for all this.
Yeah.
I got it.
- You sure? - [Chuckles.]
Yeah.
I have a feeling you're gonna make the money back.
All right.
I mean, I'll I'll try some more on.

I work for Ryan Wheeler now.
[Inhales deeply.]
Who are you? I'm Shelby.

These are Ryan Wheeler's clothes, and they need to be washed.
Then I guess you better wash them.
[Engine rumbling.]
[Engine shuts off.]
[Vehicle approaching.]
- Yo.
- Hey.
[Engine shuts off.]
How many fucking cars you got? I'm just fixing this one up, man.
She's my baby.

The douchiest.
What are you doing here? Oh, I was looking at this thing in, uh, mar vista Charter school.
How's our thing? Oh.
Fully funded, breaking ground.
- That's good.

- Yes, it was.
- No.
Christina, I checked.
It was on the ticket.
You missed it.
[Liquid pouring.]
I messed up.
I'm sorry.
But this keeps happening.
You don't pay attention to what you're doing.
What do you want me do, slit my wrists? It was an accident.
Just chill the fuck out.
Don't talk to me like that.
Go away.
- Guess what.
Now you're closing.
- Oh, no, I'm not.
You are if you want this job.
[Laughs.]
I don't want this job.
What's that? I don't want this job.
This job sucks.
And you are a little tyrant who's obsessed with sucking off corporate dick.
- You're done.
Leave.
- Oh, I am so done.
I quit.
I quit.
Hey, everybody, I quit! Madison, I quit.
Now your schedule sucks.
Sorry, not sorry.

- Mm.
How you doing? Good.
You? Good.
Good.
Garo's got a fight for you.
Guy named Trevor Derricks he's a kickboxer.

Keep your shit together? Yeah.
How's things going with your father? [Exhales sharply.]

And, uh, Lisa wants to shoot this, like, video piece with the two of us together to, you know, show people we're getting along, like, help with sponsors.
Yeah.
That's a good idea.
I think it's a really good idea.
Um, I'm gonna be with Nate most of the day, unfortunately.
I got to train him for this bullshit thing in Fresno, so you're on your own.

All right.
Good.
This is good.
- All right.
Thanks, coach.

You stay at Laura's house last night? I did.
You look like shit.
[Sighs.]
Thank you.
Alvey: You ready? What are we working on? Well, I got no tape on the guy, but we got to go to the ground, so we'll work takedowns and finishing from the top.
You can't take any shots to the head.
Can you go talk to him? About what? About this fucking fight.
It's a terrible idea.
Fighters fight.
Fighters fight? That's your brother, Jay.
It's your brother.
Jesus Christ.
Anyway, I told Ryan I can't work with him today 'cause I'm gonna work with Nate.
I'm gonna tell you the same thing, okay? We'll hit it tomorrow.
Okay.
Lisa got you a big fight, huh? Yeah.

[Indistinct conversations.]
[Horn honks.]
Hey, man.
[Horn honks, car door closes.]
Paul.
Hi, man.
I'm Jay.
From this morning, the accident.
What is this? What are you doing here? Dude, I'm Jay.
Well, so fucking what? I'm Paul.
That's John.
That's Steve.
No, no, no, no.
I'm Laura's Jay.
I'm the one she's been hanging out with.
Oh.
Jay.
Jay.
Okay.
You're the new guy.
Yeah, I'm I'm sorry.
She's always got someone.
I was hoping you and I could have a conversation.
Okay.
About what? Number one, this isn't personal between me and you.
Laura's a beautiful girl, and I expect that there are gonna be other men, so this isn't about me and you.
Hey, listen, man, I get it.
Long as you don't piss in my pool, Jay, we're fine.
Right.
You need to back off her, give her a little space, let her move on.
Okay.
Move on with who? You? I'm not saying you can't talk to her, Paul.
You can talk to her, but events, parties, galas - [chuckles.]
- Those have got to stop, man.
You got to take somebody else.
Okay, well, should I kick her out of my house? That's between you.
What was your name again? J J Jay.
- You know that.
- Jay.
Don't try and diminish me.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think Laura wants a relationship with you? - Yes, I do.
- You do? Oh, right.
You think she's the one, huh? You know, it's early on, but yeah.
Wow.
Jay, what do you do for a living? I'm a fighter.
Ah.
Does that pay well? It fluctuates.
Okay.
I-i only ask this because that woman has an abject fear of poverty, all right? She's got zero relationship with her family, too.
I mean, I know this because I just spent two weeks in Montana trying to find them.
We found them.
Her mom Her mom lives in the fucking woods.
Her old man nice guy.
He's a drunk, but he's a nice guy.
Want to know what we did last night? Went to a clipper game.
We had a late dinner, and then we came home to my house where she spent four hours bawling her fucking eyes out on my bed because I didn't want to get married.
Man, I barely slept.
So there you go.
We've had our little conversation.
And now if you come near me again, I'm gonna have you arrested.
And then I am gonna take your fucking life apart because, well, that's what I do for a living.
Okay? You have a good one, Jay.
- Keith! - I'm in here.
- Ryan: Keith? - I said I'm in here.
Of course you're in here.
Where's my bag? What a day, Ryan.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- How do you think it went? Typical first day.
I mean, there was some good, some bad.
- Listen, pal, I've, uh - Geez.
I've gotten a few complaints about you.
Complaints about me? From who? It doesn't matter.
It's Shelby, right? The girl at the counter Shelby? - Is that from who? - It doesn't matter from who.
It's Shelby because her and I had a little tussy over your You can't come in here making enemies.
Dial it back, okay? Well, I have a job to do, Ryan.
If that's gonna ruffle some feathers Keith, there's a way that shit works here.
You can't fuck it up, and if you do, you're out, man.
That's it.
I don't want to see that happen to you.
I don't, either.
I've seen greater men than me get fired on the first day.
Okay.
Finish up your sandwich, and we got to get out of here.
Okay.
Those two are for you.
Really? [Engine shuts off.]
[Crying.]
You okay? It's just so fucking stupid.
I fucking hate this shit.
What? What is it? [Scoffs, sniffles.]
I mean, this guy's talking about not getting pregnant.
And I have a A 4-year-old son.
[Exhales sharply.]
[Sniffs.]
Where is he? [Sniffles.]
In Florida.
[Sniffles.]
With his dad's parents.
[Sighs.]
I haven't seen him in two years.
[Sniffling.]
Oh, fuck.
[Inhales sharply.]
This is so stupid.
[Sniffles.]
[Chuckles.]
You know what? Just Don't tell anybody, okay? [Car door closes.]
[Footsteps departing.]
Keith: Like, it's the movie which everybody makes fun of him for, but it's actually really good.
It sounds watch it.
Off the mats with the shoes on, please.
Hey.
What's up, Keith? Hi.
Oh.
Hey, Lisa, you should go talk to Alvey.
- Why? What's up? - Shit with Nate.
So, uh How'd it go? Good.
Yeah, good, I think.
Good.
Hey, uh, would you load up? And I'll be out in a second.
- Am I driving? - Mm, fuck no, you're not driving.
It's not that far.
Please and thank you.
[Chuckles.]
Bye, Keith.
Bye.
You do look, uh you do look good in that dress.
I know.
That's why I wore it.
What are you doing tonight? So now you're talking to me.
When was I not? Why don't you come by later? Well, Alvey gave me a set of keys, so I'm gonna work out.
Insurance will pay for the arm, but what the fuck is going on with Nate? Oh, I don't know.
[Sighs.]
I don't know.
This Fresno thing's a fucking disaster, I'll tell you that.
I don't know what to do.
By the way, your fighter's living out of her car.
I gave her a key.
How was the meeting? They want her.
They want to see her fight.
I worry about her record.
I got an idea.
We could do something here.
Invite a couple teams down.
We call it an in-house sparring session.
She gets the pressure of a fight.
The sponsors see how she is.
If she loses, it's not on her record.
- That's a good idea.
- Huh? Yeah.
Every once in a while, I bust one out.
Every now and then.
[Chuckles.]
Are we doing anything later? No.
Why? 'Cause Chapas came by.
He wants to have dinner.
You gave him money.
Yeah.
Not from here, but yeah.
Did you even look at the prospect No.
I looked at the guy who gave you the prospectus.
Just say you don't want me to go.
Go.
I'm tired.
I'll see you when you get home.
[Door opens.]
[Pills rattling.]
[Crunching.]
What are you taking? Valium.
Why? Because I'm hungry.
Then eat.
I can't.
[Sighs.]
Your brother has been in his room with the door closed for hours.
He probably wants to be left alone.
Maybe you should knock on his door.
[Siren wailing.]
If he wanted to talk, he wouldn't have the door closed.
Could you smoke outside? [Exhales heavily.]
[Door opens.]
[Door closes.]
[Both grunting.]
I'm out.
Should I change? - No, no, you stay here.
- I can change.
Nope.
I'll be back later.
Oh, gosh.
Man.
[Breathes deeply.]
[Door closes.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
You should have got the steak.
That's what they're known for.
Always get the specialty.
That red meat is gonna kill you.
- Mm.
- I drink my dinner.
[Chuckles.]
Lisa give you shit about coming out? Lisa's pregnant, dude.
She gives me shit all the time.
[Laughs.]
- Love and marriage.

I'm used to it.
Then why you so fucking moody? Who's moody? I'm not fucking moody.
Can't a guy have a fucking drink, shake his day off? Are you my wife now? You'd be lucky to have a man like me.
I'm amazing.

[Exhales sharply.]
You can't just sit here all day, man.
You're getting depressed.
You know, that's not good.
I know, but there's nothing to do.
I mean, we don't have a pool.
There's no puzzles.
- I'm not even good at the Internet - Why don't you get a job? I'm not the guy that gets jobs, Ryan.
I'm usually weeded out during the hiring process.
Well Maybe you can, uh Maybe you can help me out.
How could I do that? Just take care of the stuff I don't have time to do.
Oh.
Clean this shit up.
I don't know.
So, are you but are you asking me to be your assistant? Well, let's not I Let's not put a title on it.
- Let's just - Okay, Ryan, I'm not trying to play hardball here.
That's not what this is about.
But I want to ins I can't I'm not gonna pay you, Keith.
I know, but I just need to insist on having the title.
That way, I will be able to define Okay.
Yeah.
The the parameters of our relationship.
Okay.
Okay.
You're my assistant.
[Dog barking.]
For Yeah.
I accept.
[Sighs.]
All right.
Welcome aboard.
[Sighs heavily.]
That was intense.
Did you feel that? [Telephone ringing.]
How about Habib? It's a bad matchup.
Who else? Dominique Wilder? No.
He's on fucking steroids.
Who else? [Sighs.]
Wilson Aguilar.
He won't make weight in a million years.
Well, fuck, man, why don't you have Ryan fight himself? Why you being so fucking difficult? 'Cause you gave me a good fucking, Garo, and now I'm in your life, so deal with it.
Who else? Trevor Derricks.
He's a striker.
Trevor Derricks.
I don't know him.
He works out of, uh, South beach now.
Knockout power? Eh.
[Mockingly.]
"Eh.
Eh.
" I'll talk to Ryan.
And now Jay how do I make him happy? Give him a title fight? [Chuckles.]
He's in a new division.
He has to work his way up.
He wants a title fight.
Well, I want to suck my own dick, but, you know, some things in life are just out of reach.
You asked, "how do I make him happy?" I'm saying give him a title fight.
If I do that, the 10 guys in front of him will go ape-shit.
Oh, will you remind me to call Mario Goldsmith at Splitlip? There's a promoter who buried his best fighter's drug test and then extorted a shitty deal from him.
Hey, he's ass deep in that, too.
Yeah, but he's a coach who's just doing his best to protect his fighter, and you're the shady motherfucker who tried to extort him.
I mean, you're the bad guy, Garo.
"Gar-oh.
" "Gar-oh.
" Arr-o, not "gare-oh.
" How long have I known you fucking people? Okay, fine.
I'll give you your fucking fight.
You two deserve each other.
[Indistinct singing.]
[Brake squeal, tires screech.]
[Engine shuts off.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What? - You're gonna be cool in there, right? - Yes.
Okay.
- Couple things - Okay.
Do not talk to anybody Unless they talk to you first.
That's fine, but it's like prison rules.
- Got it? - I've been to prison.
Yeah.
Okay.
Second don't touch any of the equipment.
Do not mess with anybody's shit.
Don't sit on the bags.
And do not, under any circumstances, walk on the mats with your shoes on.
Sounds like Japan.
You with me, Keith? Yeah, I'm [Sighs.]
Ryan, yes.
[Door closes.]
Ryan: What's up? Hey.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, you know it wasn't me, right? - What? - You dropping weight.
I didn't even hear about it till afterwards, and Alvey never even asked me if I wanted the fucking fight.
- Then - What? - Don't worry about it.
- All right.
We're cool.
I'm not ducking you.
Nobody thinks you are.
All right.
Stay strong.
I would never take money out of your pocket.
No shit, man.
I would bite your fucking hand off.
I don't know.
It doesn't make me look too slutty? You look hot, and we are marketing towards men, so I guess you kind of have to lean into it.
Yeah, it is a tits-and-ass kind of world.
All right, which one do you think should I get? Well, we'll get a couple, and then you can decide.
Yeah.
You know I can't pay for all this.
Yeah.
I got it.

[Engine rumbling.]
[Engine shuts off.]
[Vehicle approaching.]
- Yo.

The douchiest.
What are you doing here? Oh, I was looking at this thing in, uh, mar vista Charter school.
How's our thing? Oh.
Fully funded, breaking ground.
- That's good.

Christina, I checked.
It was on the ticket.
You missed it.
[Liquid pouring.]
I messed up.
I'm sorry.
But this keeps happening.
You don't pay attention to what you're doing.
What do you want me do, slit my wrists? It was an accident.
Just chill the fuck out.
Don't talk to me like that.
Go away.
- Guess what.
Now you're closing.
- Oh, no, I'm not.
You are if you want this job.
[Laughs.]
I don't want this job.
What's that? I don't want this job.
This job sucks.
And you are a little tyrant who's obsessed with sucking off corporate dick.
- You're done.
Leave.
- Oh, I am so done.
I quit.

[Sighs.]
Thank you.
Alvey: You ready? What are we working on? Well, I got no tape on the guy, but we got to go to the ground, so we'll work takedowns and finishing from the top.
You can't take any shots to the head.
Can you go talk to him? About what? About this fucking fight.
It's a terrible idea.
Fighters fight.
Fighters fight? That's your brother, Jay.
It's your brother.
Jesus Christ.

Hey, man.
[Horn honks, car door closes.]
Paul.
Hi, man.
I'm Jay.
From this morning, the accident.
What is this? What are you doing here? Dude, I'm Jay.
Well, so fucking what? I'm Paul.
That's John.
That's Steve.
No, no, no, no.
I'm Laura's Jay.
I'm the one she's been hanging out with.
Oh.
Jay.
Jay.
Okay.
You're the new guy.
Yeah, I'm I'm sorry.
She's always got someone.
I was hoping you and I could have a conversation.
Okay.
About what? Number one, this isn't personal between me and you.
Laura's a beautiful girl, and I expect that there are gonna be other men, so this isn't about me and you.
Hey, listen, man, I get it.
Long as you don't piss in my pool, Jay, we're fine.
Right.
You need to back off her, give her a little space, let her move on.
Okay.
Move on with who? You? I'm not saying you can't talk to her, Paul.
You can talk to her, but events, parties, galas - [chuckles.]
- Those have got to stop, man.
You got to take somebody else.
Okay, well, should I kick her out of my house? That's between you.
What was your name again? J J Jay.
- You know that.
- Jay.
Don't try and diminish me.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think Laura wants a relationship with you? - Yes, I do.
- You do? Oh, right.
You think she's the one, huh? You know, it's early on, but yeah.
Wow.
Jay, what do you do for a living? I'm a fighter.
Ah.
Does that pay well? It fluctuates.
Okay.
I-i only ask this because that woman has an abject fear of poverty, all right? She's got zero relationship with her family, too.
I mean, I know this because I just spent two weeks in Montana trying to find them.
We found them.
Her mom Her mom lives in the fucking woods.
Her old man nice guy.
He's a drunk, but he's a nice guy.
Want to know what we did last night? Went to a clipper game.
We had a late dinner, and then we came home to my house where she spent four hours bawling her fucking eyes out on my bed because I didn't want to get married.
Man, I barely slept.
So there you go.
We've had our little conversation.
And now if you come near me again, I'm gonna have you arrested.
And then I am gonna take your fucking life apart because, well, that's what I do for a living.
Okay? You have a good one, Jay.
- Keith! - I'm in here.
- Ryan: Keith? - I said I'm in here.
Of course you're in here.
Where's my bag? What a day, Ryan.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- How do you think it went? Typical first day.
I mean, there was some good, some bad.
- Listen, pal, I've, uh - Geez.
I've gotten a few complaints about you.
Complaints about me? From who? It doesn't matter.
It's Shelby, right? The girl at the counter Shelby? - Is that from who? - It doesn't matter from who.
It's Shelby because her and I had a little tussy over your You can't come in here making enemies.
Dial it back, okay? Well, I have a job to do, Ryan.
If that's gonna ruffle some feathers Keith, there's a way that shit works here.
You can't fuck it up, and if you do, you're out, man.
That's it.
I don't want to see that happen to you.
I don't, either.
I've seen greater men than me get fired on the first day.
Okay.
Finish up your sandwich, and we got to get out of here.
Okay.
Those two are for you.
Really? [Engine shuts off.]
[Crying.]
You okay? It's just so fucking stupid.
I fucking hate this shit.
What? What is it? [Scoffs, sniffles.]
I mean, this guy's talking about not getting pregnant.
And I have a A 4-year-old son.
[Exhales sharply.]
[Sniffs.]
Where is he? [Sniffles.]
In Florida.
[Sniffles.]
With his dad's parents.
[Sighs.]
I haven't seen him in two years.
[Sniffling.]
Oh, fuck.
[Inhales sharply.]
This is so stupid.
[Sniffles.]
[Chuckles.]
You know what? Just Don't tell anybody, okay? [Car door closes.]
[Footsteps departing.]
Keith: Like, it's the movie which everybody makes fun of him for, but it's actually really good.
It sounds watch it.
Off the mats with the shoes on, please.
Hey.
What's up, Keith? Hi.
Oh.
Hey, Lisa, you should go talk to Alvey.
- Why? What's up? - Shit with Nate.
So, uh How'd it go? Good.
Yeah, good, I think.
Good.
Hey, uh, would you load up? And I'll be out in a second.
- Am I driving? - Mm, fuck no, you're not driving.
It's not that far.
Please and thank you.
[Chuckles.]
Bye, Keith.
Bye.
You do look, uh you do look good in that dress.
I know.
That's why I wore it.
What are you doing tonight? So now you're talking to me.
When was I not? Why don't you come by later? Well, Alvey gave me a set of keys, so I'm gonna work out.
Insurance will pay for the arm, but what the fuck is going on with Nate? Oh, I don't know.
[Sighs.]
I don't know.
This Fresno thing's a fucking disaster, I'll tell you that.
I don't know what to do.
By the way, your fighter's living out of her car.
I gave her a key.
How was the meeting? They want her.
They want to see her fight.
I worry about her record.
I got an idea.
We could do something here.
Invite a couple teams down.
We call it an in-house sparring session.
She gets the pressure of a fight.
The sponsors see how she is.
If she loses, it's not on her record.
- That's a good idea.
- Huh? Yeah.
Every once in a while, I bust one out.
Every now and then.
[Chuckles.]
Are we doing anything later? No.
Why? 'Cause Chapas came by.
He wants to have dinner.
You gave him money.
Yeah.
Not from here, but yeah.
Did you even look at the prospect No.
I looked at the guy who gave you the prospectus.
Just say you don't want me to go.
Go.
I'm tired.
I'll see you when you get home.
[Door opens.]
[Pills rattling.]
[Crunching.]
What are you taking? Valium.
Why? Because I'm hungry.
Then eat.
I can't.
[Sighs.]
Your brother has been in his room with the door closed for hours.
He probably wants to be left alone.
Maybe you should knock on his door.
[Siren wailing.]
If he wanted to talk, he wouldn't have the door closed.
Could you smoke outside? [Exhales heavily.]
[Door opens.]
[Door closes.]
[Both grunting.]
I'm out.
Should I change? - No, no, you stay here.
- I can change.
Nope.
I'll be back later.
Oh, gosh.
Man.
[Breathes deeply.]
[Door closes.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
You should have got the steak.
That's what they're known for.
Always get the specialty.
That red meat is gonna kill you.
- Mm.
- I drink my dinner.
[Chuckles.]
Lisa give you shit about coming out? Lisa's pregnant, dude.
She gives me shit all the time.
[Laughs.]
- Love and marriage.
- Yeah.
Lately I make her skin crawl.
I'm sorry, buddy.
That's rough.
I'm used to it.
Then why you so fucking moody? Who's moody? I'm not fucking moody.
Can't a guy have a fucking drink, shake his day off? Are you my wife now? You'd be lucky to have a man like me.
I'm amazing.
[Chuckling.]
Yeah.
What is that? Jesus.
You want half? It's in your mouth.
I don't want anything.
- No? Okay.
- No.
[Chuckles.]
[Soft piano music playing.]
So, seriously, you okay? Yes.
Nate broke some kid's arm today when he was sparring.
Guy tapped like 25 times.
He kept fucking going.
Well, he's got a fight coming up.
Maybe he's jumpy, you know? I-I dislocated a guy's elbow once.
I mean, that shit happens.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
What? All right.
I'm gonna do something to cheer you up.
[Up-tempo blues music playing.]
[Pounding on door.]
Who is it? Ryan: Uh, there was a noise-disturbance call.
[Chuckles.]
Damn.
Look at you putting in the extra work.
Am I interrupting you? - I can take a break.
- Good.
Let's have a drink.
[Cellphone dialing.]
Hey, dad.
It's me.
Can you call me when you can? I want to ask you a question about something.
Okay.
Bye.
[Rock music playing.]
Hey.
Come on.
[Engine shuts off.]
- Let's go.
- What the fuck is this? Enough with the questions.
You'll see.
What did you take me to? Hey.
It's Chapas.
He's my guest.
[Indistinct conversations.]
[Soft music playing.]
Hey.
Sweetheart, how you doing? Two whiskies, neat.
What is this place? It's a club.
- [Laughing.]
It's a club? - Private club.

Go ahead.
It's on me.
[Chuckles.]
- Hi.

[Chuckles.]
[Pounding on door.]
[Sniffs, exhales sharply.]
[Indistinct speaking.]
[Dogs barking.]
[Pounding intensifies.]

You're lying.
Y-you want to fucking marry him, he's telling me? What the fuck are you doing with me? You are ruining my fucking life, Jay! - You are fucking my life up! - I'm sorry.
You know, I'm trying to be patient with you.
I'm trying to understand all of this.
He's kicking me out of the house, Jay.
- Great.
- He won't even talk to me.
Get the fuck away from him.
Stay here.
Stay here.
I know how important he is in your life [Cellphone vibrating.]
But you don't have to fucking owe him shit.

- You're staying here.
[Sniffs.]
Jay, you are an amazing guy, and I love spending time with you Yeah, but you're scared 'cause this is real, and it scares you.
It scares you because you're so used to feeling fucking dead with him, and dead is easy 'cause nobody asks you to do anything when you're dead.

I know when people are full of shit, so look at me.
