debating, music, catfish pond.

How many more do you want?

-And if l wrestle, l can't do all that?

-No.

Why? Will it make me stupid?

Apparently,

because that was a stupid question.

Cal, l know wrestling. lt's demanding.

lt will take you away from other things.

Everything else just...

Why now?

-'Cause Mike wrestled.

-l know. You already said that.

-And Dad wrestled.

-And it ate them up.

Mike also got hurt,

and he was built like a car.

You're a beanpole.

Thanks for reminding me.

Should we pretend

you're something else?

No. They have

a 1 35-pound weight class.

Have you forgotten that?

Why are you so interested

in Mike now anyway?

l don't know.

l guess, l mean, he and Dad

probably spent a lot of time together.

And what are... What are you thinking?

He's gonna... He's gonna help you?

Help you know your father?

He won't. He will just disappoint you.

You have no idea who Mike is.

He's my brother.

Right.

One you've seen maybe...

What? Once or twice in 1 0 years.

Whose fault is that?

Pump, you are a never-ending source

of mystery to me.

LULl:
Who are you talking to?

No one.

-What's wrong?

-l'm just trying to get this pump fixed.

lt's driving me crazy.

(SlGHS)

l want to wrestle, Luli.

l thought you were.

-What happened?

-l told my mom about it.

-And?

-And she just about gave birth.

Mmm.

-You wearing that outfit to school today?

-Do you like it?

lt's, uh...

-lt's different.

-Good. l was aiming for different.

So, you like it, then?

(SlGHlNG) Sure.

l'd love to see you wrestle.

Who're you looking for?

Mike Chetley?

Yeah.

l'm Calvin. His brother. ls he here?

Mike?

Cal. Calvin.

How'd you get here?

Bus. Then l walked.

Can l use your bathroom?

lt was a long ride.

-What brought you here?

-Well, l was kind of thinking

that maybe you could,

you know, show me how to wrestle?

Just... Just sometime.

l mean, l was thinking l'd try out

at 1 35 pounds.

But l don't know much.

-l don't think l'd be much good to you.

-Well, l think l could be good

with the right kind of training.

Just the basics.

ln fact, l've been studying it a bit.

About leverage mostly, seems like.

You know,

just getting the right angle and...

l don't know what l'm talking about.

Why do you want to wrestle

all of a sudden?

l don't know.

Cal, l'm just real busy right now.

Coach can teach you the basics.

That's why he's there.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Maybe we could...

We could just visit once in a while.

There ain't... There ain't much in my life

that you're gonna want to be a part of.

l just thought

'cause we're brothers, maybe...

Not right now.

Hey, Jim.

-Hey. How are you?

-Hey.

-Can l talk to you for a minute?
