DAVE (CONT’D)
More than ten? Dragging weight the
whole way?
(Dave turns off the water)
You’re a sick f***, you know that?
Dave turns to look at Mark, sitting in the bare living room.
8.
DAVE (CONT’D)
Place is looking good, by the way.
I like what you’ve done with it.
Dave notices the Public Schools Directory on the table.
DAVE (CONT’D)
You setting up clinics?
MARK:
Talked to some coaches.
Dave comes toward Mark, handing off a water glass, dragging
the folding chair over to sit across from him.
DAVE:
I hope you don’t have anything
booked for Saturday.
MARK:
Why?
DAVE:
I need a favor. This school called
me months ago to do a gig but now I
can’t. Nancy’s got a thing all day
so I gotta watch the kids. You
free?
MARK:
I’ll check.
He goes into the bedroom, looks at the calendar. There’s
NOTHING WRITTEN DOWN for any of the days.
MARK (CONT’D)
You said Saturday or Sunday?
DAVE:
Saturday.
MARK:
Saturday could work.
He comes back in.
DAVE:
Good. Thank you.
Dave looks at the BACK OF HIS HAND, where he’s written down a
name and phone number in MARKER. He grabs one of Mark’s VHS
labels and a pen and writes the information.
9.
DAVE (CONT’D)
Coach Vinson, Radnor High. I’ll let
him know you’ll call tomorrow.
He peels off the label and slaps it on Mark’s leg.
DAVE (CONT’D)
And Mark. Please come back to the
gym. You don’t have to do anything
with the team. Just train with me.
Mark’s just looking at his older brother.
DAVE (CONT’D)
I need you there. Stay focused on
what’s important. For both of us.
Seoul’s the goal.
Beat. Beat. Then, Mark nods at his brother.
MARK:
Seoul’s the goal.
CUT TO:
INT. RADNOR HIGH SCHOOL GYM - DAY
Seven HIGH SCHOOL BOYS plus a couple of PRE-TEENS, all in
wrestling gear, sit on the mat in front of Mark. He seems
manic, evangelical, not tuned into his audience.
MARK:
The minute you step on the mat, you
are exactly who you are. You can’t
hide. You can’t pretend you trained
harder than you did, you want it
more than you do. My brother Dave
and me care about this more than we
care about anything. The difference
between the number one guy in the
world and the number four guy is
paper thin. The one who wins is the
one who wants it more, who’s
willing to sacrifice, who can take
the pain. I can take the pain. My
brother Dave can take the pain. Can
you take the pain?
Blank looks from the teenage wrestlers. Mark gestures to a
table set up near the door, on which is his OPEN BRIEFCASE,
with a stack of TAPES.
10.
MARK (CONT’D)
I talk about all this in my
instructional videotape - which you
can purchase at the end of the day
for a nominal fee.
