American Wrestler: The Wizard Page #3

- What are you, jealous much?

- Of that?

Wendy, come on already.

- Dan Webster.

- Uh-huh.

What's up, baby.

Go, toad!

Come on, Knox! Go, Knox,

take him down!

Pick it up, pick it up!

Come on, Danny!

Yeah!

'Whoo! Go, toad!'

not bad.

Thanks.

'Go, toad!'

Oh!

Two, take down!

Watch the arm.

Watch the arm!

'I need a halt. '

You didn't have to do that.

You could've won

without doing that.

No sh*t.

Wha.. You think

you're so tough?

What do you know

about winning, old man?

'Thanks for coming, everyone. '

'we'll see you next Tuesday

for the match against'

'tomales high school. '

come on, we'll get 'em

next time.

What are you lookin' at?

You got a problem?

- Mike!

- 'Here we go again. '

you're freakin' dead.

You're freakin' dead!

This way.

Hey.

What happened out there?

Well.. Unrighteous behavior

from the windsor boy.

Unrighteous, huh?

Yeah.

Dan..

I hate to see you

living like this.

I got a lead on

a few possibilities.

- That's good.

- Yeah.

This is no place for you.

Are these books helping any?

It's a... Process.

I'm in the middle of one myself.

Unfortunately, mine is called

the process of elimination.

State says I have to make

budget cuts.

And wrestling,

is not inspiring anybody.

Dead limbs from a tree.

That's what they say, Dan.

Well, I'm producing

thoughtful young men.

Well, get your act

together and produce

fighting young men.

Like you used to.

I'm not on the

battlefield anymore.

No.

You guys had it rough.

At least we had a parade or two

to come home to.

Team's coming along.

Doing the best I can.

It's not good enough.

Get some wins on the board.

Get the community

behind the team.

Can you do that, Dan? Because

i do have other problems.

Yeah. I heard about the

troubles with the new kid.

Yeah, the kid.

Damn hostage thing

among everything else.

They say he's trying

to get on a team.

Whoa! You stay away from that.

This kid is

the last thing you need.

It's not what I was saying.

Coaches were talking.

Okay.

Okay.

Get too high.

Then flip them.

How easily did you

get off balance?

Right?

Okay.

Go, pair up.

- Coach plyler?

- Yeah.

Hi, my name is Ali jahani.

I know who you are.

Good. I would like to try

for the wrestling team.

Look, um, I'm sorry.

The season's already

started and..

All the weight classes

are covered.

I mean..

...have you ever even

wrestled before?

- No.

- Well..

But, I've endured more pain

than anyone in this room.

Well, the goal is to avoid pain.

Wrestling requires

discipline and control.

But how do you win without

the ability to endure suffering?

Look, I, I appreciate

your tenacity, Ali.

I do.

I'm afraid it's a no.
