Underdog Kids

- How are you doing?

- Hi.

- Nice meeting you.

- A pleasure.

Auntie, this is Jimmy

the Lightning Bolt.

Jimmy the Lightning Bolt?

Isn't he awesome? Look at him.

Look at his jacket.

He's a former MMA champion.

Oh, a former MMA champ, huh?

Kids, go get ready, okay?

Charlie, can I have

a word with you?

Would you excuse us

for a moment?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

Are you kidding me?

An MMA champ

named Lightning Bolt?

- Well, uh...

- Are you crazy, Charlie?

And who names their kid

Lightning Bolt?

Well, when Jimmy was a kid,

he was struck by lightning...

and he lived.

That's how he got his name.

And he's a great guy

when you get to know him.

Valerie, Jimmy is like

a son to me.

And I trust him with my life.

"Jimmy the Lightning Bolt,

an orphan boy grows up

to become an MMA champion."

That's what Charlie meant.

He doesn't have any family.

"Jimmy the Lightning Bolt

hospitalized."

What?

"Saves a five-year-old boy

from a runaway truck."

What?

"Champ may never

be able to fight again.

Career ruined."

Listen, you've been out of the fight

circuit for over three years,

and fight years

are like dog years.

Well, I was in a little

accident, remember?

Yeah, everybody remembers,

which is why nobody

wants to insure you.

Look, Geno,

I'll sign a waiver, okay?

I'll do anything.

Just get me back

into the cage, all right?

Jimmy, you're not getting

any younger.

- What did you say?

- Okay, you know,

I may have something

in the meantime, all right?

The Shapiro bar mitzvah.

It's a sweet gig, too.

All you do, you dress up

like a ninja.

About halfway through the ceremony,

you drop out of the ceiling,

you go up onstage,

you fight this kid.

And believe me,

he's not a big kid, so...

It pays $500, but the kid

does get to beat you up.
