Peaceful Warrior Page #4

Can we make this quick?

Sure.

Hey!

Hey! I'm talking to you.

What the hell

is wrong with you?

You said you were in a hurry.

So you pushed me

off the bridge?

I emptied your mind.

You what?

I emptied...

No, you didn't.

You threw me into the river.

And while you were falling,

tell me, Dan,

what were you thinking of?

I don't know!

Were you thinking

about school?

No!

Grocery shopping?

No!

This thing

you had to hurry off to?

No! I was...

The present.

Devoted 100% to the experience

you were having.

You even had a word for it.

(SCREAMS)

You're out of your mind.

You know that?

It's taken

a lifetime of practice.

We want you

out of your mind, too, Dan.

What is that you do?

Some kind of

martial arts move?

I didn't see it coming.

You weren't paying attention.

Even now you're not.

Your mind's filling up again.

You're missing out

on everything that's going on.

There's nothing going on.

(LAUGHING)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(WHIMPERING)

There's never

nothing going on.

Take out the trash, Dan.

The trash is anything

that is keeping you from

the only thing that matters,

this moment.

Here.

Now.

And when you truly are

in the here and now,

you'll be amazed

at what you can do

and how well you can do it.

Until we know more about Kyle,

we need the horse covered,

so...

Anybody who wants

a shot at it, gets a shot.

Where's Millman?

(WATER RUNNING)

(WATER ROARING)

All right,

next man up. Trev?

You know I'm superstitious,

Coach. I gotta go last.

DAN:
I'll go.

All right.

Millman, where the hell

did that come from?

Soc!

Hot damn! I wish

you could've been there.

You would've loved it!

I used your trick.

I used your mind trick

and it worked. It totally

worked. I was awesome.

It's not a trick.

Yeah, well, whatever it is,

I used it.

I took out the trash,

and I mean Trev?

Trev's the one guy

I'm always going up against.

You should have seen me.

I demolished the guy.

You know, I wasn't worried

about what did happen,

or what might happen,

what could happen.

I just got up there

and I cleared my mind.

And I was flawless.

Listen, I'm jumping in

with both feet. All right?

Whatever you tell me to do,

I'm gonna do. No beer,

no meat, no girls, no problem.

How long did you stay

that way, clear and flawless?

"I demolished that guy.

You should have seen me."

You're in the past.

Gloating.

You're not in the now, living.

You haven't learned anything.

Go home.

Training's over for tonight.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Go home, I said.

(BELL TOLLING)

SOCRATES:
Hey, Dan.

(PANTING)

Why do we have to be

all the way up here,

where we could kill ourselves?

I was hoping

you could tell me.

TOMMY:
God!
