Girlfight Page #4

You should know. You're

the center of the universe, right?

It's the truth.

We're gonna be late.

Later, Diana.

You said you'd do my braids.

Yeah? Well, call me when there's

an opening in your busy schedule.

Jab, jab.

Jab, jab, right.

Too much power.

Let's just box for now.

Hey, you deaf?

I said too much power.

Jab, right, hook.

You been working on your hook.

This time finish it with an uppercut.

Same combination.

All force and no technique, huh?

Come on.

Power is half the story.

Are you scared of me?

- That's funny. You look scared.

- I'm not scared.

I got you against the ropes,

and I'm gonna dance on your face.

See?

Someone gets you where you don't

wanna be, you get outta the way.

Keep your footwork smaller.

That way you can punch

from different angles, okay?

Try it.

Now we're boxing.

You should start roadwork.

Run three miles four times a week.

Three miles?

You gotta be kidding me.

At least three.

At this rate, you couldn't last

one round in the ring.

But I got power.

You said so.

Big deal.

You got the endurance of a corpse.

I guess I'll use

the track at school.

Don't bother about

clocking yourself yet.

So were you ever a fighter?

Oh, sure.

In Panama.

I had my day once.

So, what happened?

What happens to most of us

who do it?

We lose.

There's only two of you

in that ring.

It can be a lonely place.

How're you doin'?

Have you seen Adrian?

Yo, Adrian!

You got a visitor.

Most of these guys here,

what are they...

just dreamin'?

Sure, they are.

They got no choice.

These guys, this is what they live for.

This is their whole life.

Was it like that for you?

To fight?

Probably not.

I didn't have what it takes.

So what does it take?

To be great, I mean.

I don't know.

A real strong will.

I was gonna go to a fight

at the Forum next week.

If you want to see

some lightweight action...

Ira gets discount tickets sometimes.

I can come?

It's no big thing.

For real?

Maybe you'll learn something.

Yeah.

Oh, here.

Thanks.

I hope you've all completed

the assigned reading...

and finished your workbooks.

This chapter deals with...

a fundamental concept in science...

the second law of thermodynamics.

The primary element of this law...

is a word that we use all the time...

though it's tough to define.

That word is "heat."

What is heat anyway?

A simple definition is this:

Heat is the energy

possessed by molecules...

because of their motion.

It takes part

in every physical occurrence...

from the growth

of one blade of grass...

to...

a key starting a car's engine...

to the explosion of a star.

Testing those reflexes.

Friday you spar.

I'm ready to?
