Hey, let go my blouse.

We are wrestlers, too. We are invited.

-Give me a boost.

-Okay.

Hey. What about me?

I don't think I can lift you.

You are too fat.

Good luck.

Seor Ramon.

-Who are you?

-I am Esqueleto, the luchador.

Everybody is a luchador, mi amigo.

I think that me and my friend

are ready to go pro.

Ramses, would you like to fight

this man in the ring?

So you want to make a name

for yourself, horseface?

Win the Battle Jam next week.

The winner will fight Ramses

in exhibition

in front of 5,000 people.

Then you will be a pro.

I forgive you.

Come here, soldier.

How did you get up here so fast?

Secret tunnels.

Some say wrestlers make bad lovers.

That they save themselves for the ring.

Huh?

I love you.

Sing!

Sing something for Ramses!

Okay, my friend, this one's yours.

What?

This one yours.

I am singing at the party

I am singing

It's my turn to sing at the party

Everyone is dancing

Happy party

But Ramses is not dancing

He does not dance at the parties

Ramses is number one

He knows the secrets of desire

Ramses is the one

He puts the people all on fire

Ramses

Steven!

Come here.

That party was lame.

I hate that place.

Hey!

Take it easy.

It sucks to be me right now!

-How come?

-How come you think?

I used to really like Ramses.

I wanted to become him.

But it turns out he's a real douche.

Well, win the Battle Jam this week

and you can fight him yourself.

Forget it.

What?

Because I can't go on living a lie.

Earth to Steven.

I'm a friar.

I'm not for that world.

The orphans, they need me,

and I have forsaken them.

I got no groceries for breakfast

because of you!

I'm sick of hearing

about your stupid orphans.

-What did you just say?

-I hate orphans.

-Say it again to my face.

-I hate them!

Come again?

I hate all the orphans

in the whole world.

I'm not listening to you.

You only believe in science.

That's probably why we never win.

We never win because you are fat.

Buenos das, Sister.

So, what you cooking?

Breakfast.

Ignacio, you have a responsibility

to these children.

I know.

Well, where have you been?

I've been gone because I had

a lot of church-y opportunities lately,

outside of the orphanage.

Like what? Where were you last night?

To tell you the truth,

I went to a wrestling match.

You went to watch a wrestling match?

Kind of.

You are a man of the cloth.

Lucha libre, it's a sin.

But why?

Because those men fight for vanity,

for money,

for false pride.

Yes, it's terrible. Terrible.

But is it always a sin to fight?

No.

lf you fight for something noble,

or for someone who needs your help,

only then will God bless you in battle.

You must pray for forgiveness.
