Because I never got around to it, okay?

I don't know why you always

have to be judging me

because I only believe in science.

But tonight,

we are going up

against Satan's Cavemen.

And I just thought

it would be a good idea if you...

Praise the Lord!

Hey, we're not allowed to watch that.

Hey! Hey!

Tag me!

What? What are you doing?

No, no, no, no! No, no!

Ignacio.

No! No, no, no! No, no, no!

What the...

Move!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Chancho! Put him down!

-Fight! Fight!

-Put him down, Chancho! Stop it!

-Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

-Please, stop it!

Break it up! Break it up! Break it up!

What's wrong with you?

But, Sister,

they are just nios trying

to release their wiggles.

Ignacio, they are wrestling

in a sacred place.

Okay, orphans, listen to me.

Listen to Ignacio.

I know it is fun to wrestle.

A nice pile-drive to the face,

or a punch to the face,

but you cannot do it.

Because it is in the Bible

not to wrestle your neighbor.

So you've never wrestled?

Me? No, come on. Don't be crazy.

Listen, I know the wrestlers

get all the fancy ladies,

and the clothes,

and the free creams and lotions,

but my life is good.

Really good.

I get to wake up every morning

at 5:
00 a.m. and make some soup.

It's the best. I love it.

I get to lay in a bed by myself

all of my life.

It's fantastic.

Go.

Go away!

Read some books!

Have you ever had feelings for a nun?

No way.

There is this nun.

I just wish I could take off this robe

so she could see how strong I am.

Well, bring her

to our next wrestling match.

Yeah, right.

Then I'll get kicked

out of the monastery.

I have an idea.

Tell me.

Take her on a date tonight

and I will bring some of my friends

to beat you up,

but we will let you win.

So where are you taking me?

Well, Sister, I saw a bum here today.

There were two bums,

and I said to myself,

''Let's talk to these guys

about the Gospel.''

Well, where are they?

I don't see them.

They should be coming by.

Where is your robe, Ignacio?

It was stinky.

But these are my recreation clothes.

-They look expensive.

-Thank you.

I mean, yes,

they may have

the appearance of riches,

but beneath the clothes, we find a man.

And beneath a man,

we find his nucleus.

-Nucleus?

-Yes.

Listen, I don't like the way

those guys just looked at you.

Hey! Can't you see this woman's a nun?

And if you guys

have a problem with that,

well, you can just fight me.

Okay.

You ready?

You messed with

the wrong guy this time.

You ever seen these moves? Huh?

You see these moves? Huh?

You think you gonna... Huh?

-Come on!

-This way. I think he's over here.
