Which makes me wonder,

why in the hell would you

go and gamble it all

away in the first place?

Why did you go them, James?

After all our years

of friendship.

After everything you

and I have been through,

why didn't you just come to me?

You know I would've helped.

- C'mon Ozzy.

I'm already in debt to you more

than I could ever repay you.

What's done is done.

- No, see James done

isn't the word I'd use

if they're still

expecting you to pay up.

So I'm gonna say it again,

whatever you got yourself

into, you figure it out,

but not in here.

See, in here belongs to them.

Don't you dare screw this up

with Greg and jazzy, James.

Feel free to spend the

night on the couch.

Oh, don't light that cigarette.

Don't want you burning

down this place

on top of everything else.

- G'night now.

Yeah?

- Hey, I'm

looking for Reno street.

- Who's looking?

- My name is Ozzy.

I was at the liquor

mart the other night.

- Whaddya want?

- Uh, you dropped your dog tag.

- How'd you find me?

- When you dropped this, I uh,

googled your name and,

well, you know, it's pretty

easy to find people these days.

- Thanks.

- You fight?

I mean, I saw you fight.

Not bad.

Look, I manage and train

fighters at the Sterling gym.

Heard of it?

I'm usually on top of

the up-and-comers and,

judging by the way you

moved the other night,

you got serious potential.

I'm just surprised no one

has scooped you up yet.

- Yeah, well, growin'

up in a military family,

you move around a lot.

- You heard of the Sterling kid?

- Yeah, seen a

few of his fights.

- Yeah, he trains

at the gym with me.

Tell you what, why don't

you come down to the gym,

check it out, meet Greg.

My neice that was at

the liquor mart with me,

I'm sure she would

love to say thanks.

- Yeah?

- I don't usually have people

fight my fights for me.

I mean there was a time I

would be right there with you,

back to back, slug

for slug, but...

Well, I guess it's

true what they say.

"Those who can't

do anymore, teach."

You're talented.

Let me teach you.

- No, thanks man.

I gotta get up early.

I got a job interview so...

- Hey, you know, I'm

looking for someone

to help me down at the gym.

Keep the place clean,

assist with the day-to-day.

I can pay you 15 bucks an hour.

Plus, you can train for free.

Think about it.

- You should do it.

- I'm sorry, ma.

Did we wake you?

- Mmm.

This gym, this coach...

This is a real opportunity

for you isn't it.

- Alright, give me a

kiss for good luck.

Mmm!

Feeling lucky already.

Better make it two just in case.

Alright, remember, you wait

for Shannon to walk you home.

- Mhmm.

- Alright, go get smarter.
