Yeah, that's my spot.

Cops know that.

I got, like, a shitty car.

Hey, that's my spot.

Whoever parks there is with me.

Don't be so dubious.

They closed your restaurant.

You know, people in Jersey

don't have any taste.

I should have known

not to bother with them.

All that money down the drain.

What are you doing for work now?

Lou wants me to work with him.

Work with this kid,

uh, Kid Sunshine.

Teach him the science of the game.

Hit and don't get hit, no?

You say that like it's easy.

It's easier said than done.

No, I believe you.

I believe you.

But Lou Powell...

Thank you, sweetheart.

He digs the smell of sweat and piss.

Lou don't care if it's MSG or VFW halls.

He's a gym rat.

Well, hooray for him.

Whatever's clever,

but you're someone...

...who's not afraid of the finer things.

Am I right?

Mm-hmm.

Yes, that's pure silver

you're holding, by the way.

You feel the weight?

Why don't you come work for me

for a little while?

Hmm?

Pickups. Deliveries.

You go around the city with Roberto.

Make sure everybody we

associate with is...

...is full of good cheer.

I must warn you of one thing,

though.

What's that?

He listens to glam rock

all day on the radio,

so if you're similar to me,

you're gonna have to...

...figure something out...

Some kind of arrangement.

I used to like the

New York Dolls, not no more.

What kind of music you got on your iPod?

Oh, f*** me.

Is that a Walkman?

Well, I-I got an iPhone.

I just don't have any music for it.

I believe it's important

to turn yourself completely over...

...to digital technology.

My entire life...

...is in the iCloud.

What kind of music you dig on?

Uh, Laura Nyro.

It's this beatnik chick.

My... my girl recommended her.

I-I don't really listen

to anything other than...

...what she has in

her cassette collection.

She never got into iTunes or anything.

She never even got into CDs.

You know, I never used to

listen to anything.

You know, Lou says

that you should never jog...

...with music.

Says if you run to

the theme song to Rocky,

you'll just be a b*tch fighter.

Well, he doesn't say

the word 'b*tch, ' though.

He says

'sentimental fighter.'

Sentimental fighter?

Yeah, an emotional fighter.

Lou says the worst thing you can be...

...is an emotional fighter.

You know,

that's why it's science.

You know, you got to be

like a scientist.

Otherwise, you get all

emotionally involved...

...and unbalanced.

Yeah.

You see my face right now?

This is me marveling.

I marvel at you lads.

You're monks in the gym.

The most peaceful place on earth.

Oh, the sound of the...

...the ropes and the

bags and the breathing.

It's funny that it all
