Sh*t!

(GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

SHANE:
Sh*t!

(GRUNTS)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

(SCREAMS)

SHANE:
I'm not gonna pretend I like this.

I resent being put in this position

and I resent being put in this position by you,

but you're my brother,

and I'm doing it

because I think it's the right thing to do.

But you screw up once and you're out.

I catch you doing drugs, you're out.

I catch you selling drugs, you're out.

I catch you bringing girls in or making bets

or any of that garbage that you're into,

you're out.

I hope I made myself perfectly clear.

SCOTTY:
Yeah, look,

lgetH,okay?

And whatever you say.

lwon't screw up, I promise.

This is your last chance, Scotty.

Yeah, I understand that, just...

I won't disappoint you, okay?

Look at the state of you.

Yeah, I know.

Not cool, huh?

You like that I'm here?

(GRUNTS)

Phew!

(PANTING)

SHANE:
I'm ready.

I'm ready to fight.

I'm tired of this bullshit training.

(GRUNTS)

ls that all you got?

Oh, this is just so dreary.

Sh*t.

Go home, Shane.

Go home and come back when you're ready

to learn how to fight, okay?

Just go home.

By the way, this is Dracul "The Killer" Lupe,

my latest acquisition, Shane.

Now, he can fight.

(BREATH ES H EAVILY)

(LAUGHING) N0, don't even look at him.

Don't go there.

Don't go there, Shane.

CONNIE:
We're home.

SCOTTY:
I'm in here.

Well, I'm cooking dinner.

So I see.

You can cook?

Well, we'll soon see about that.

- Uh-oh.

- James.

Hey, buddy. How's it hanging?

- Fine.

- Okay, well, do you wanna come over here

and give your Uncle Scotty a hand

because I'm kind of all elbows,

or should I say one elbow?

CONNIE:
Uh, butjust for like an hour or so,

he's got homework to do.

SCOTTY:
Okay.

All right, promise.

(EGG CRACKS)

That's gotta suck.

Um...

I mean, you know,

you gotta do what you gotta do, right, kid?

I guess.

I got an A in my math quiz today.

You got an A?

Wow, that's...

That's really cool. You know,

I don't think I ever got an A in anything.

No. No, I didn't.

Too stupid, you know.

You're not stupid, you're a fighter.

It's the same thing, kid.

Believe me, it's that same thing.

Well, you're gonna love

your Uncle Scotty's pizza.

The best in town.

(GRUNTING)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

CONNIE:
Okay, he's down.

Dinner was good, huh?

You know, next time I'll make meatloaf.

You cannot miss with meatloaf.

Pizza? New experience for me.

Listen, man, you don't need to do this, okay?

Once I'm back on my feet,

I'll sort it outwith Danny.

I'm doing it, okay?

I just need to get my first fight.

Right now

I'm getting my ass kicked for nothing.

Listen, Shane,

I know what you're going through, man.

Now that's the game,

that's what people come to see.
