Fighting Page #2

Hey, Christopher,

Jack.

Hey, Harvey.

Hey, Claudette, Martinez.

Chinese guy

named Martinez.

What?

Go figure.

That guy was Chinese?

Yeah, his mother

or something.

But those guys, they run every

bet place in this whole city.

And that's what matters

'cause that's how you get paid.

Hey, Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson.

Harvey, I have to thank you so

much for those Billy Joel tickets.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

You look lovely tonight, ma'am.

Did he do my favorite song,

the "Downtown Alexa" thing?

Okay. Hey!

What are you doing,

Harvey? No way.

No way. I gotta go to 38th

Street to get some juice.

It's about to rain.

Get in the car, drive.

Get in the car, Z.

I got an umbrella for you

anyway. Come on, get in.

Get rid of the box, you

don't need that anymore.

Where are we going?

We're in a $100,000 Mercedes.

That's where we're going.

Okay, so what

happened to the $5,000?

Hey, here's your boy.

Good morning.

Thanks for showing.

I got your text,

so here I am.

You need a soda or anything?

No, I'm cool.

Do me a favor. Go get me

a orange soda or something.

So what goes on here?

Well, we're going to get you an

opportunity. You want to fight, right?

I want to make money.

Okay, first thing, we got

to make you presentable.

Put this on. I don't

want to wear your jacket.

Presentation is everything. Come on.

It's about making money. I'm

going to give you an opportunity.

Real nice smile.

This thing

don't even fit me.

Where's my change?

It was $3.

You know, I can get that

for $1 across the street.

Yeah, and you could have gotten

it for 50 cents at the supermarket.

Comedians.

Come on.

I don't...

We're going to

make some money?

Yeah.

I feel stupid.

If they invite you over,

tell them you can fight,

'cause you can,

you know?

Better yet, don't even say nothing

to them, let me do the talking

and I'll take care

of everything.

Yo, Harvey,

you want a stove?

Hey, Christopher, you guys are

still doing the fight stuff, right?

I've got a guy right here.

Hey, Z, bring him over here!

This kid right here is

an incredible fighter.

CHRISTOPHER:
Oh, yeah?

Jack. Jack.

Tell me, when was the last

time that you had a white guy

that looked like this

in one of your fights?

And you did college

and everything, right?

You went to college?

That is remarkable.

He's the real thing.

A white kid who went to

college, that's amazing.

How come I never

heard of you?

Well, he's from...

No offense, but I've

never heard of you either.

Look, I'm sorry, you know,

sometimes he's a wiseass.

But he's...

I'm not joking here.

I'll give him a peep.

Yeah,

I'll give him a peep.

White boy who

went to college.
