Knucklehead Page #3

in one week? What is wrong with you?

I'm a knucklehead.

Like a little lightning or something.

A big boom.

Now you know how those boys

are going to feel...

...when they are dragged out of here

and sent back into the system next week.

I'll think of something.

Well, I tried.

-You damn well better.

-Walter, watch out.

Now that's a solid.

Hello there. I'm Eddie Sullivan.

If you're looking to be a three-time

champion in any form of fighting...

...or you're just looking to get yourself

in fighting shape-- Just kidding.

--then I'm your guy.

If you're looking for someone

to give you that extra push...

... then look no further.

Come on, my friend. Come on. All you

gotta do is want it more than he does.

Do you want it?

Yes! Attababy, fat boy.

If you're serious about becoming

a champion, or looking like one...

...then Eddie Sullivan's

the trainer for you.

The best. Think about it.

So? All right, what do you think?

I think you're an idiot, Mr. Sullivan.

Okay, you know, that's a little harsh,

wouldn't you say, Sister?

All right. Why don't we start over?

Call me Eddie.

See, the thing is, Eddie, that Walter here,

he just isn't really a fighter.

More of a gentle giant, really.

Not a problemo.

Look, I will take you on the road...

...and by the time we hit New Orleans,

you will be a ruthless killer.

That's not me. No.

See...

...I think you're just gonna have to find

someone else to do your dirty work.

And what exactly is in this for you,

Mr. Sullivan?

What's in it for me?

What's--? What's in it for me?

The satisfaction of helping others

in need.

And half the purse.

Would you mind if we have

a few minutes alone, please?

Oh, Sister Francesca, of course I can.

Yeah, take all the time you need.

Take a minute, take two.

-Watch the furniture.

-Thanks.

-Out that door.

-Oh, right, yeah.

I'm just gonna grab my computer.

Lot of nuns around, you never know.

-That'll do.

-Okay.

You are not seriously considering this,

are you, Sister?

I don't like this guy any more than you do,

Mary, but he's right.

-We are out of options.

-Sister Francesca--

-Let me ask you something.

-Yes, ma'am.

What would Jesus do?

Decline graciously.

He sacrificed his life for us.

Are you willing to do the same?

-No, not really.

-Get over there. All right.

Look out there. Just look at those boys.

You should know what it's like

to be a ward of the state...

...being bounced around from

one foster home to the next.

Are you prepared to watch those boys

go down that road, Walter?

-No.

-Good man.

How do we know this schmuck

won't run off with all the money?

We don't. That's why you're going too.

-What?

-Let's face it, Mary.
