to keep him from

f***ing the fireplace.

Yeah, I know about all that.

I'm going to lose the weight

and get down

on the mat with him.

Like, why?

It's now or never.

I'd keep this thing

a big secret.

This isn't the kind of thing

you want everybody

to know about.

I wouldn't want Shute to know.

I told the coach, a guy I

work with, and now you.

It's an honor, man.

Your secret will die with me.

You do what you wanna do '

hey, how's it going?

I'll leave it

all up to you...

Catch you after school, brother.

Hey, where's my change, man?

That was Sammy Hagar,

I'll fall in love again.

Ratman rouse here

spinning the gold

for your lunchtime pleasure.

Talk about magic moments.

Will Louden Swain need

one, two, or a big bunch?

Our man at 190

says he's dropping to 168...

Are you ready for this...

To wrestle the Shute.

Good luck, Swain.

Now here's hot blooded.

Well, I'm hot-blooded...

You're a real a**hole,

you know that?

Kick his ass!

Sure, Otto.

What good will it do the team?

I don't know.

Maybe no good at all.

If the coach wouldn't

fire my ass,

I'd take you apart myself

and save Shute the satisfaction.

You piss me off.

Well, it isn't intentional.

You know what I have in mind

honey, you ought to know

Now you move so fine...

Only unbelievable, Louden.

I'm going to do an editorial

for the school paper...

"when determination becomes lnsanity."

You're a celebrity.

I just hope you

live to enjoy it.

Thanks.

I loved your article on

interossei and lumbricales...

"those unsung muscles

of a good grip."

I don't know if anyone gives a f***,

but the writing was great.

When's your next one?

I haven't decided on a subject yet.

Maybe the sternocleidomastoid.

The what?

Oh, yeah!

Hey, why not? Go for it!

Hey, Mr. Tanneran.

Hey, Louden.

You ought to try jumping rope.

It's great for the

cardiovascular system.

Sh*t.

I'm hearing strange things about you.

It's getting blown

out of proportion.

Come on, man. I'll guard you.

I'm an animal on defense.

All right.

Are you ready, animal? Yaah!

You take one.

Ever hear of Tai Chi?

What's that, a Chinese thing?

Can 800 million people be wrong?

Frequently.

I got to go to wrestling practice.

Otherwise, I'd show you

how to play the game.

Hey, Louden.

Maybe you're overextending

yourself on this Shute challenge.

Definitely.

You have a tendency to do that.

Sometimes, you got to. Remember?

This is one of them times.

Today's the day, Otto.

Keep your hands in front.

Don't straighten your arms.

You got it!

You got it! You got it!

You're dogging it!

You're dogging it, lard ass!

Come on! Come on!

Come on, you wimp!

Come on, you p*ssy!

Come on, you p*ssy!
