The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki Page #5

Look inside.

All right.

What do you think?

Is it finished?

- Yes.

Okay. Thank you.

Hello.

- Hello.

When does the next train

to Kokkola leave? - In an hour.

Is it the last one today?

- Yes, it is.

One ticket, please.

Good. Keep your hands up.

Harder, Olli. Harder.

Move your feet. That's it.

Keep your hands up all the time.

Very good. Hit him.

Hi.

- Hello. Am I interrupting?

A little. What is it?

- I thought I'd go visit home.

I just bought a ticket,

and the train is leaving.

Can you tell Olli?

- Sure.

Take care.

- Have a good trip.

Thanks.

Olli, now it's starting to look...

What?

Where did Raija go?

- She went home. But now...

Did you tell her to leave?

- Of course not.

She came here and said her train

is leaving. But this is...

Oh, she said, "Take care."

But this is starting to look good.

I'll listen to your lungs.

Take a deep breath.

Olli, come. You can do that later.

He has no business fighting

in the adult weight class.

How much is it?

It's a little over...

It's a little over... 60.

- Over 60?

What the hell?

It's too damn much.

Are you a clown? Are you a clown?

- No, I'm not.

The weight is what it is.

57 is too low.

We agreed on this weeks ago.

We can't change it now.

Your class would've been

right for me.

What? - 61 kilos

would've been just right.

How the hell can it be over 60?

How many weeks

have I been telling you -

you have to lose weight?

How many weeks?

I've never failed

to make the weight.

Good.

Elis.

I'll go get some fresh air.

Sit on the bench. That's good.

Are you going to be okay?

- Yeah, I'll be okay.

If you feel dizzy, put your head

between your knees. Sit here.

You want water?

No, I'll be fine.

You look pretty serious

in the picture.

I thought this was Olli's match,

but it's Elis's.

"Elis Ask's world championship

match." - Look at the poster.

Come take a photo with us.

- All right.

I see, high society is calling.

Hello.

- Step in the middle.

Show your fists.

- Well... Sure.

Thank you.

- Olli!

Come here, will you?

Gentlemen, this is Olli Maki.

The match has been made possible

by these gentlemen.

Hello. Olli.

Hello.

Hello.

So this is what our new

national hero looks like?

Well, let's fight first.

It's nice that you're modest, -

but we want a world champion.

- Absolutely.

It's important

that we have a home match.

That way the Finnish people

can support him. - That's right.

It might be easier

to fight in the home ring, -

but public support

is really important.

How many tickets have you sold?

- We still have about 4,000 left.

You hear that, Olli?

- Yeah?

Could I use the phone?

I need to take care of something.
