Come on! You're losing it!

You wimp!

All right, fellows,

let's circle up here.

All right.

Columbia high graduated two seniors

from last year's squad.

So we can bet that they're

going to be agile...

Hey, man, what's happening?

Agile, mobile, and hostile this season.

That was a great idea

about keeping everything secret.

I'm sorry.

It was too good

to keep to myself.

I had a talk last night with

the everywhere spirit.

Looks like you talked

with everybody.

With who?

The everywhere spirit.

Kuch!

Now, fellas, if a Columbia wrestler

gets you at a disadvantage

and breaks you down flat,

he'll put this move on you.

This is a trademark

over there at Columbia.

Right, Kuch?

Yep.

Can we see that again, coach?

We all remember how

we counter this, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Let's pair off

and practice countering this move.

Now, the bottom man is active.

Head back. There you go.

There you go. That's it.

You knew I was half Indian, huh?

Yeah. I figured it was

something like that.

I figured you'd need big medicine

to go after Shute.

So last night, I smoked the pipe,

and I had a session with

the everywhere spirit.

That's when

it was revealed to me

what you're really doing.

Uhh!

Yeah?

Yeah.

What am I really doing?

You're on a vision quest, man.

You're trying to find

your place in the circle.

I just want to

wrestle Shute, ok?

Ok, ok.

What's happening?

He broke my tooth!

You sold me a lemon, a**hole.

Hey, look at this.

You got what you deserved.

Let's get back to work now.

What happened?

Ask your old man.

I don't mind a man making money.

I don't want him stealing it.

Get a good eyeful?

You all right?

Yeah. Take her

down to Ferguson's

and buy her a hamburger.

I'll be along in a minute.

What about my car?

I'll take care of it.

Look, folks,

the show's over, ok?

Some people just see

you coming, I guess.

They take one look

at you and say,

"oh, boy. Fresh meat."

Who the hell are you?

Louden. Louden Swain.

My father, he was the

one with the punch.

You're not from

around here, are you?

What, are you kidding me?

Trenton, New Jersey.

Why do you look so funny?

I'm wearing a rubber suit.

I'm a wrestler. I'm

trying to lose weight.

Ok. I got it.

Onions on that?

Yeah. Lots of them.

Anything for you, Louden?

Just ice water, Elsie.

Just ice water.

What are you doing

here from New Jersey?

Going to California.

San Francisco.

I got sick of hitching,

so I put all my money

into the car.

Brilliant.

Who's in San Francisco?

Me... When I get there.

You got a job there?

You don't have to

know everything.

Who the hell are you?

I told you. Louden Swain.

See, I'm just naturally curious.
