How are the teachers?

- They're great.

- Classes? Other kids?

It's great. Everything's great.

Living out of boxes.

We're even eating out of boxes.

I'd just say everything's just great.

You wanna run numbers, Charlie?

Four. The number of times that

your brother has had to have stitches.

And two. The number of times that he has

been kicked out of school.

Six. The number of times I've had to

pick him up from the police station.

Tired of living out of boxes, Jake?

Why don't you try unpacking?

Dude! What's up?

You're carb loading. That's pretty smart.

Yo, I'm Max Cooperman.

Crack it.

- Jake Tyler.

- I know.

I also know that there's

a 225-pound football player in Iowa

that's happy as hell you moved.

- How'd you know about that?

- Internet, dude.

One guy shoots it, the whole world sees it.

Come on.

Tell me you haven't Googled yourself.

Look, when you hit my boy out

with that right hook, man,

we did some homework.

And your clip, it's starting to

make the rounds, bro.

Look, people... People are talking.

See, we got it going on here, man.

This is something you must check out.

All right, the other day,

when you saw me fighting,

that was completely organized.

- A totally sanctioned brawl.

- That looked like an ass-kicking to me, bro.

I'm getting my chi together.

I'm learning the moves

from one of the masters.

Jean Roqua. Dude trained with the Gracies

back in the day.

Dude was a finalist in the Vale Tudo, right?

Look, check this out.

Wait for the right moment.

Position before submission.

Look, I appreciate it and all.

I'm not interested.

What? Hey, but, dude. I mean, you're...

You could enter the pantheon of greats.

We're talking significant

social profile here.

I mean, you are a natural born brawler.

I'm just not into it, man.

- Want a ride?

- No, I'm cool.

You sure? We can crank up the AC.

You can wear that flannel.

So, what? Is your car in the shop?

Yeah, yeah. If by shop you mean

showroom, then, yes. It's a new 335.

Feel free to go pick it up for me

any time you want.

It's the silver one I cannot afford.

Oh, my God. You are poor!

So, there's this party tonight

if you wanna go.

- You gonna be there?

- No, no, she's not.

She's inviting you to a party

she's not gonna go to.

Does that make sense?

Sorry. Here's the address if you wanna go.

See you there?

Yeah. Thanks.

The kid was nine. He beat me, 6-3.

So he's younger than you.

You're just getting settled in.

You just have to give it time.

My compaero!

- Man!

- What?

Whose house is this?

That is a good question.

Do you want a beer?

- No, I'm cool.

- No?

Drink, b*tches!

That's disgusting!
