American Wrestler: The Wizard Page #4

- 'Coach? Coach.. '

- Alright.

I read that by law

you are required

to let a new student try out.

Check this out.

Well, fair enough.

Okay, let's get this over with.

Marvin. Come here.

No, not him.

Him.

Pin him quick.

- Don't hurt him.

- Yes, sir.

You ready?

Come on. Let's go, Jimmy.

- Come on man, get him.

- Come on, get him.

'Yeah. '

pin him quick.

- Take him down, quick.

- To the ground, Jimmy.

- 'To the ground. '

- 'There you go. There you go. '

- come on, come on, let's go.

- Come on, let's go.

- Jimmy.

- Finish it.

- Come on.

- Come on, Jimmy, let's go.

- Let's go.

- Come on, Jimmy.

- Get the back, get the back.

- 'Get him from the back. '

get him.

Get him, get him!

- Come on. Finish it.

- Come on.

Yes!

The kid's tough.

Alright. Let's get back

to practice.

'Come on. Let's go, let's go. '

'Jimmy, hit the ropes. '

'Eric. '

I'll see you on the mat in five.

I'll see you tomorrow.

'3 o'clock.

Don't be late. '

Alidad.

Sit down.

Sit down, I'm not

going to hit you.

Ali, I am sorry, but

I can't afford

to support you any longer.

'I have no business,

nobody comes to me'

'to fix their cars anymore. '

I will probably

lose this house too.

I am sorry, but I'm going

to have to ask you to leave.

Uncle, if this is

about that food

that I threw out, I'm sorry.

You know I appreciate-

no, it's not

just about the food.

I- i-it's the mortgage,

the electricity

my business,

your attitude, this..

...this country.

I should've never

promised my sister

I could take care of you.

But what am I supposed to do?

W- where do you expect me to go?

I cannot answer that for you.

You know, if I go back

to Iran, they will kill me.

They will send you in

to battle, that is true.

But if you die there, it will

be quickly and with honor.

Not like here.

Breath will seep

out of you slowly.

No, no. What if I get a job

and I help you pay the mortgage?

No arguments.

I have already

signed the papers.

I can no longer

support your visa.

You see?

You can't do this to me, uncle.

You made a promise

to our family.

You can't just toss me out

on the street like-

it is finished!

Go. Pack your belongings.

Go!

I, uh..

What is that?

It's my wrestling uniform.

What wrestling uniform?

I made the team today.

You made the wrestling team?

What does it matter now?

I used to wrestle

when I was your age.

Bravo.

You don't have it in you

to be a champion.

You don't know

anything about me.

You have no idea what it took

for me to get out of Iran.

'I couldn't just hop on a plane

like you did. '

Well, I admit

it would be nice to see a

persian boy beat the Americans.

'In front of their

friends and families. '
