DREW:

Look, Bob, I'm not bothering you, am I?

BOB:

It's your attitude that bothers me, son.

DREW:

I'm not your son, Bob. Lay off.

It is a threat, one that Bob almost takes up. Kwan feels the tension in the room, and starts to say something.

BOB:

(cutting him off)

Don't say a word, yellow man.

REACTION SHOT OF KWAN

Closing his already opened mouth.

BOB (CONT'D)

You're here because I told your Mom I'd see you were taken care of... after. At least respect my wishes, and make something of yourself... Stop wasting your time!

DREW:

(sarcastic)

When I'm the best fighter in the country, I'm not going to let you be part of my entourage...

BOB:

You mean when you're in jail...

DREW:

Just leave me alone, Bob, OK? I NEVER asked for anything from you.

He spins and kicks one of the hanging bags, then walks out of the workout room, leaving Bob and Kwan standing alone.

Kwan looks at Bob, who towers over him, and smiles sheepishly.

KWAN:

Pressure. Big tournament this weekend.

He starts to walk out, but Bob follows him.

BOB:

How would you have liked having to take care of a kid you never really wanted... ?

KWAN:

I wish I had the chance...

Kwan exits, and we...

EXT. TREVOR ESTATE – DAY

ESTABLISHING SHOT OF TREVOR GOTTITALL ESTATE, A HUGE PALATIAL SPREAD.

The grounds are immaculate and huge, exquisitely kept and beautifully laid out. A gathering is around the pool and lawn area, where TREVOR and his team are having an exhibition for their guests. Polite applause is

COMING FROM THE CROWD, ALL WELL-DRESSED AND OBVIOUSLY WELL-HEELED.

ANGLE ON TREVOR:

As he knocks out an opponent.

ANGLE ON CROWD:

Applauding.

ANGLE ON TREVOR:

Taunting a different opponent. Trevor executes a beautiful technique and puts the guy down and out.

ANGLE ON TEAM:

(Psychologist, therapist, masseur, etc.) who are cheering Trevor on.

ANGLE ON TREVOR:

As he plays with the next fighter.

TREVOR:

They said you were good... ha!

He knocks the guy out with a picture perfect kick. There is no denying that he's a superior fighter.

TREVOR (CONT'D)

Can't you get me any quality sparring partners?

The next guy comes up, but before they can start, the psychologist, DR. PFEELGUT, calls for "Time" and motions Trevor over.

PFEELGUT:

It's not enough just to win, Trevor. You have to destroy your opponent completely, mentally and physically. Beat him once, he's a threat. Humiliate him, and he'll fear you forever.

Trevor listens to this, nods his head once, and when Pfeelgut goes to leave, Trevor pushes him into the pool.

Pfeelgut comes to the surface, smiling.

PFEELGUT (CONT'D)

Exactly!

Trevor goes back to the ring. He really takes it to this guy, alternately playing with him and hurting him. As the guy tries to hold his own, the string to his pants comes loose and they start to fall down. He grabs for them with both hands, and Trevor starts to back up, laughing with the rest of the group.
