but to call

my sister's honor

into question?

I wonder

what would happen

if we waited outside

for him later today

and beat the living sh*t

out of him.

I'd never even

been to court

before all of this

happened.

It's like a...

It's like a foreign

country in there.

The words they use

and how things happen,

it's-- it's...

it's like I got

on the wrong plane

and got off in some

f***ed-up country

I'm not

supposed to be in.

You don't talk much,

do you?

I don't know.

Well, so,

what were you doing

before all of this

happened?

Wrestling.

Wrestling?

Yeah, um,

I was in Iowa,

training with

the national team,

and then...

it happens,

and I came home,

and I stayed.

How old are you?

and you want to

stay around here.

I just need to see

this thing through.

One way or another.

So, what do you do

when you're not

hanging around the courthouse?

W-what do you mean?

Well, I mean

for a living.

Do you work?

I'm a chicken.

The, uh...

well, the chicken that stands

outside of Megabird.

Are you the one

I told to f*** off?

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

Well, you were kind of just

staring at me.

I'm not very good at it.

The other guy

who wears the suit,

Jose, he, like,

dances...

Right.

And flaps his arms

and stuff.

Right, right, right.

Oh, you're the one

who sits on the...

the edge of the window.

The sad chicken.

Well, I work over

at the community center.

I oversee the special events,

mostly weddings.

I started doing it

after Larry was killed.

I was just kind of

walking around

in a haze, and...

anyway, my girlfriend,

she's head of human resources

over there,

so, you know, that's...

that's how

I got hired.

Do you like it?

The job?

They don't make me wear

a chicken suit.

No.

Oh, wrestling.

Right.

# when we were green

and young as shoots #

# the world took off

beneath our boots #

# oh, we were picked

when we were young #

# gentle words and modesty #

# when we turned

towards the tide #

# choirs screamed

in their delight #

# oh, I am ripe

and ready now #

# my heart is heavy

it's going to fall #

Hey, let's go,

boys, let's go!

Jesus, Walter.

What the hell

are you doing?

I got it.

Jesus Christ, Walter,

what the hell are you doing

pushing all that

weight around alone?

Oh, uh, I made

an extra key for you

for the weight room.

Lock up

when you go.

Thank you.

Are you, uh...

you entering

the regional tournament?

No.

What?

I'm not wrestling

anymore, coach.

What the hell

are you training

so hard for?

Oh, yeah!

Hey, 'tard!

"Special" my ass.

Hey, you guys better

catch the other ones!

Come on, you too cool, buddy?

You can't talk to me?
