[BABY GURGLES]

HEY.

You’re looking at everybody else.

I CAN’T HIT-- NOBODY CAN HIT--

I CAN’T GET HIT IN THE HEAD.

YEAH. I DON’T WANT TO GET HIT IN THE HEAD EITHER,

SO WE DON’T HIT YOU IN THE HEAD.

Woman: HE HAS EPILEPS.

HE HAS EPILEPS.

EPILEPSY. YEAH. THAT’S OK.

IT WILL BE GOOD FOR HIM IN HERE.

THERE WON’T BE NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING HIT.

HE WON’T GET HIT.

I WON’T BE MAKING CONTACT.

WE JUST WORKOUT.

WE HIT THE HEAVY BAGS,

WE HIT THE SPEED BAGS, THE DOUBLE END BAGS.

YOU DO ALL THE BOXING WORKOUT,

YOU LEARN HOW TO BOX,

BUT YOU DON’T GET IN AND--

I WON’T HAVE YOU SPAR, OK?

UNTIL MAYBE YOU-- UNTIL YOU GROW OUT OF THIS EPILEPSY.

YOU’LL GROW OUT OF IT I BET, RIGHT?

SO WHEN YOU GET OLDER, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE,

YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO BOX AND LEARN YOUR SKILLS,

AND THEN YOU’LL BE ABLE TO,

AND MAYBE YEARS FROM NOW, OK?

OK.

CAN YOU WORK WITH THAT, EDSON? YOU CAN DO THAT?

SO YOU CAN’T COME IN HERE AND START

HITTING PEOPLE, RIGHT?

OK.

OK. AND THEN THEY WON’T HIT YOU.

Man: YOU GUYS GO THERE SATURDAY NIGHT OR WHAT WAS IT?

IT WILL HAPPEN, YOU KNOW?

SHOULD MOVE BECAUSE AS SOON AS YOU THROW A PUNCH,

THAT PUNCH IS COMING BACK AT YOU, OK?

SO YOU WANT TO GIVE A PUNCH AND GET OUT OF THE WAY, OK?

SO SHE’S GONNA HIT, SHE’S GONNA MOVE, ALL RIGHT?

SHE’S GONNA HIT,

SHE’S GONNA DUCK, BOB, WEAVE, MOVE AROUND.

SHE’S GONNA KEEP HER OPPONENT ON HER TOES.

SO SHE’S GONNA STAY MOVING ON IT.

FFFT, FFFT, FFFT.

YOU HEAR HER BREATHING?

EVERY TIME SHE THROWS A PUNCH,

SHE LETS IT OUT, SHE LETS IT OUT, OK?

SUCKS IT BACK IN, LETS IT OUT, OK?

AS YOU LET IT OUT, YOU’RE ABLE TO JUST

THROW A BETTER PUNCH.

Man: OK. THROW YOUR JAB WITH YOUR LEFT.

MOVE YOUR FOOT FORWARD.

THERE YOU GO. OK.

NOW WAIT. YOU GOT IT, YOU GOT IT.

IF SOMEONE’S COMING AT YOU, PUSHING,

YOU GOT TO BE BALANCED WITH THIS ONE BEIND YOU.

TRY AND PUSH ME, TRY AND PUSH ME.

SEE? I GOT MY FOOT BEHIND ME.

SO YOU GOT TO LEARN THAT.

YOU GOT TO BE STANDING LIKE THAT.

LET’S DO ONE-- ONE AND ONE, OK?

WATCH MY FEET.

YOU GOT TO BE READY.

JAB. JAB, TWO. JAB, TWO, SLIP. 4.

4 PUNCHES. LET’S GO.

[TIMER BEEPS]

I’VE BEEN TALKING TO POPS AND ANN,

AND I’M GONNA ENROLL MY BOYS.

MY 9-YEAR-OLD AND MY 11-YEAR-OLD WANT TO FIGHT.

GOOD. GET THEM OVER THERE

AND GET THEM IN THE GYM THERE.

THAT WILL BE GOOD.

IF YOU CAN GET POPS TO WORK WITH THEM

OR GET HIM TO BE WITH THEM, BE AROUND

BECAUSE POPS IS A VALUABLE RESOURCE, MAN.

HE’S GREAT AND GREAT WITH THE KIDS, TOO.

HE’S THE BEST AROUND, I THINK.

YOU KNOW WHAT I SAW THEM DO?

KIND OF LIKE A REGIMENTED PATTERN

THAT POPS MUST HAVE TAUGHT THEM,

BUT WHEN THEY’RE ALONE AND THERE’S A PAIR,

TWO PAIR IN THE RING, WHAT THEY DO IS

WHEN THE BELL RINGS THEY GO BALLISTIC AND GO OFF ON EACH OTHER.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THAT WHERE THEY JUST GO CRAZY,

AND ANYBODY’S--IT’S LIVE, EVERYBODY AGAINST EVERYBODY,

AND IT’S USUALLY WHEN THEY GO HEAD TO HEAD

IT’S ALWAYS GONNA BE TWO-ON-TWO,

BUT YOU CAN SWITCH OFF AND START HITTING SOMEBODY ELSE,

BUT WHAT THEY DO IS THEY DON’T GET HEAD SHOTS.

THEY JUST ALL DO BODY SHOTS,

AND IT’S KIND OF FUNNY TO WATCH

BECAUSE I HAD NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.

AND I ASKED HIM ABOUT IT, AND HE SAID, YEAH,

POPS HAD BEEN TEACHING THEM TO DO THAT FOR YEARS.

YEAH. SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE KID.

IT LOOKS FUNNY TO SEE IT BECAUSE

IT LOOKS LIKE A WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION MATCH.

4 PEOPLE IN THERE.

4 PEOPLE IN THERE, AND THEY’RE ALL HITTING ON EACH OTHER.

THEY GET TIRED OUT, TOO.

YEAH, BUT THEY GET A GOOD WORKOUT.

THEY’RE ALL BUSTED TIRED, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YEAH.

I STILL GOT IT, MAN. I’M NOT GONNA LOSE IT.

JUST KEEP ME IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND.

IF I CAN COME IN HERE AND SPAR AND BE LIGHT

AND BE--HAVE THE STAMINA THAT I NEED,

I’M GONNA--I’M NOT GONNA ... AROUND THIS TIME, ALL RIGHT?

OK. ALL RIGHT.

[TIMER BEEPS]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

PRETTY COOL. MY HUSBAND’S TURNING 40 THIS YEAR.

OLD BAG, HUH?

YEAH. AN OLD GUY.

OVER THE HILL.

BIG BOXING FAN FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

HE’S A GUY--HE WORKS WITH HIS HANDS.

HE OWNS A--WORKS CONSTRUCTION,

AND IF HE COULD HAVE, HE WOULD HAVE TRIED TO BE A BOXER

A LONG TIME AGO, AND HE JUST NEVER WAS ABLE TO,

AND SO IT’S BEEN THIS BIG DREAM.

WELL, WE’RE FINALLY AT THIS POINT NOW

WHERE HE CAN TAKE SOME TIME OFF OF WORK,

FROM RUNNING HIS OWN BUSINESS,

AND DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

AND SO FOR HIS 40th BIRTHDAY,

I WANT TO GIVE HIM TIME IN A GYM,

A REAL GYM, A REAL BOXING GYM,

YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT IS--

HE’S NOT GONNA BE HERE TO BE A KICKBOXER

AND BE, YOU KNOW, DAVE GOODIN, YOU KNOW,

AND BE IN GREAT SHAPE AND ALL THAT.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THAT. IT’S ABOUT THE ART.

IT’S ABOUT LEARNING WHAT IT’S LIKE TO STAND IN THE RING.

PUT YOUR HAND UP HERE, YOUR RIGHT HAND.

KEEP THAT HAND UP THERE, OK?

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[GRUNTING]

[TIMER BEEPS]

[TIMER BEEPS]

I WANT YOU TO KEEP YOUR HANDS UP.

RIGHT NOW, YOU’RE FIGHTING WITH YOUR HANDS DOWN

BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN STREET FIGHTING.

WE’RE GONNA TRAIN YOU HOW TO FIGHT WITH YOUR HANDS UP

SO YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF.

THIS WILL GET YOUR HIT A LOT IN THERE.

THIS WILL PROTECT YOU FROM GETTING HIT NEARLY AS MUCH, OK?

SO I WANT YOU TO CARRY THAT HAND UP,

PROTECT YOURSELF, THINK ABOUT THAT, OK?

THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO,

WORK ON IT LIKE THIS, HITTING,

AND I WANT YOU WHEN YOU’RE MOVING

MOVE LIKE YOU WERE DOING ON THAT TIRE,

WHERE YOU CAN’T CROSS.

SO I DON’T WANT YOU CROSSING.

CROSS WHERE?

YOU SEE HOW YOU’RE DOING LIKE THIS?

SO STOP RIGHT THERE.

SEE, YOUR FEET ARE TOO CLOSE?

IF I HIT YOU HERE, YOU’RE OFF BALANCE.

KEEP THEM APART, KEEP THEM APART.

NOT QUITE THAT MUCH.

BEND YOUR KNEES A LITTLE BIT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR FEET WHERE THEY’RE RUNNING PARALLEL

TO EACH OTHER.

THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO. MUCH BETTER.

WHEN YOU’RE DOING THIS, YOU GOT ALL YOUR ENERGY RUNNING OUT THAT WAY.

BE HERE WHERE YOU CAN PIVOT OFF OF IT.

OK. NOW THINK ABOUT THAT.

KEEP THAT LEFT FOOT OUT FRONT.

THAT’S IT, THAT’S IT.

THINK ABOUT THOSE FEET BEING APART.

KEEP THEM SEPARATED.

NOW CHECK THIS OUT. WHEN YOU THROW THAT RIGHT HAND,

PIVOT OFF THAT BACK FOOT.

DON’T MOVE. IF YOU’RE MOVING WITH THE BACK FOOT.

THEN YOU DON’T HAVE ANY POWER IN IT.

WATCH WHAT I’M DOING.

I PIVOT, BUT I STAY AND PLANT IT.

PLANT YOUR FOOT. YEAH.

DON’T MOVE AT THE TIME YOU THROW IT.

YOU MOVE AND THROW AT THE SAME TIME,

YOU DON’T GOT NO POWER IN IT.

SET. BOOM!

OK. SET. BOOM!

MAKE SURE YOU’RE PIVOTING OFF OF IT

AND BE PLANTED ON THAT BACK FOOT.

THERE YOU GO. DON’T GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOE.

STAY ON THE BALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT?

THE BALL OF THE FOOT RIGHT HERE, RIGHT?

SO I WANT YOU TO STAY ON THAT BALL AND PIVOT.

BOOM. OK? THERE YOU GO.

MUCH BETTER, MUCH BETTER.

[TIMER BEEPS]

YOU’RE DOING GOOD.

THERE YOU GO.

GET THAT BOUNCING.

GET ON THEM TOES.

[TIMER BEEPS]

[TIMER BEEPS]

KEEP WORKING THAT. 30 SECONDS.

GET TO WORK.

LET’S GO. LET’S GO. LET’S GO.

DON’T MOVE YOUR FEET.

SETTLE YOUR FEET DOWN.

THERE YOU GO.

COME A LITTLE HIGHER.

HIT A LITTLE HIGHER.

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.

GET A LITTLE HIGHER. NO. DON’T STOP, DON’T STOP, DON’T STOP.

YOU GOT TO FINISH THIS OUT.

GET ON BACK A LITTLE BIT. GET ALONG--

[TIMER BEEPS]

BOP. HIT THAT.

COME ON.

RELAX.

OK. LET’S PULL THE HEAD GEARS OFF.

THERE YOU GO. GOOD ROUNDS, FELLAS.

GOOD ROUNDS.

Y’ALL WANT TO WORK OUT? I WANT TO GET Y’ALL ON MEDICINE BALL.

TALKING TO MY COACH, MAN, A COUPLE MONTHS AGO FROM RACINE.

WHAT’D HE SAY?

HE WAS, LIKE, WONDERING WHAT I’M DOING.

"WHAT’S GOING ON, MAN? YOU A PRO YET?"

I WAS, "OH, YEAH. I’M A PRO, MAN," I SAID,

"BUT I HAVEN’T FOUGHT IN ALMOST TWO YEARS."

HE WAS LIKE, "WHY NOT?"

I SAID, "I LOST MY LAST FIGHT."

I SAID, "MAYBE I GOT DISCOURAGED. I DON’T KNOW, MAN,"

I SAID, "BUT I’M TRYING TO GET--TRYING TO GET MOTIVATED

TO GET BACK IN THE BUILDING."

REMEMBER, MAN, THE ONLY THING GOT TO DO IS JUST EASE INTO IT SLOWLY, BRO.

YOU KNOW WHAT-- YOU KNOW YOUR CAPABILITIES.

WHAT YOU DO IS THIS, GETTING THE BODY STRONG.

REMEMBER, BODY STRONG AND THE MIND, BRO,

AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL FALL IN PLACE,

PHYSICAL, COMING AT IT, MAN.

THE BODY STRONG, THE MIND,

AND--WHAM--EVERYTHING WILL FALL INTO PLACE.

YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.

IT WILL, MAN. I JUST GOT TO GET--

I JUST GOT TO GET TOGETHER, MAN, AND START DOING IT.

THAT’S IT. IT WILL, MAN. JUST KEEP AT IT,

AND THERE ARE GONNA BE TIMES THAT IT DON’T WANT TO GO, BRO, YOU KNOW.

IT’S JUST GONNA BE LESS, BUT ONCE YOU’RE DONE AND EVERYTHING,

YOU’LL FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

WELL, LET ME CHANGE THIS SHIRT OFF, MAN.

THIS SHIRT’S SOAKED. HA HA!

Woman: YEAH.

NOW WHERE’S YOUR GIRLFRIEND FROM? IS SHE FROM HOUSTON?

UM, SHE WAS BORN IN HOUSTON,

AND HER FAMILY LIVES IN RICHARDSON RIGHT NOW,

WHICH IS JUST OUTSIDE OF DALLAS.

YEAH.

SO--AND HER DAD DOES A LOT OF WORK IN HOUSTON,

SO I DON’T KNOW. MAYBE THEY’LL LOOK

INTO MOVING TO HOUSTON IF WE BOTH MOVE THERE, TOO.

YEAH. SO...

AND I GUESS IF WE’LL MOVE THERE,

WE’LL HAVE TO GET A RING OF SOME SORT.

YES, HOWARD. YOU’RE GONNA NEED TO DO THAT.

NEED TO DO THAT.

START SAVING YOUR BEER MONEY.

SHE’S GIVEN ME A LETTER OR, LIKE, AN E-MAIL

THAT TELLS ME EXACTLY WHAT HER REQUIREMENTS ARE.

OH, YEAH?

HA HA!

WELL, YEAH, IT’S TOO BAD YOU DON’T KNOW JUAN.

HE’S THE DIAMOND GUY.

I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE PLAY, YOU KNOW?

NEXT WEEKEND.

SO YOU PLAY THE DRUMS AND WHAT ELSE?

NO. TIMBALES AND ACCORDION.

YOU PLAY THE ACCORDION?

YEAH. THE BUTTONS.

SWEET. YOU EVER PLAY ANY TANGO MUSIC?

NO, BUT I’D LIKE TO.

I’D LIKE TO LEARN TANGO,

[TIMER BEEPS]

OW!

GOOD WORK, PAPA.

Richard: GOOD MOVING THERE, PAPI.

GREAT ROUND THERE.

HERE’S THESE. WHAT DID I TELL YOU? HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO IT?

RAPID BOIL-- RAPID BOIL,

HOLD IT DOWN FOR 9 SECONDS.

20 SECONDS. 20 SECONDS, 20 SECONDS.

9 SECONDS IT’S NOT GONNA BE--

IT’S GONNA BE STILL TOO TIGHT.

20 SECONDS YOU GOT TO HAVE IT IN THAT RAPID BOIL.

PULL IT OUT. YOU CAN HAVE IT, LIKE, ON A SPOON

OR IN SOME TONGS AND THEN JUST--

IT’S GONNA BE HOT WHEN YOU BITE INTO IT.

MAKE SURE--THIS IS GONNA BE SO SOFT THAT IT WANTS TO CURL OVER.

BITE INTO IT. LET ME SHOW YOU ONE THAT I GOT,

SEE HOW MUCH DIFFERENT--

BECAUSE THIS WAS THE SAME IDENTICAL SIZE.

IT’S JUST DIFFERENT COLOR.

SEE HOW IT SPREAD OUT?

SO IT WILL SPREAD OUT FOR YOUR PALATE?

AND SEE WHO THIS DOES? SEE HOW MY TEETH ARE BURIED IN THERE?

SO THAT’S HOW YOUR BOTTOM TEETH ARE GONNA FIT IN THERE

SO WE DON’T KNOCK YOUR MOUTH OUT.

SO YOU BOIL FOR 20, BITE FOR A MINUTE.

ALL RIGHT.

IF YOU BOIL FOR A MINUTE, IT’S GONNA DISSOLVE

RIGHT WHERE YOU’RE WATCHING IT.

YOU FIGHT-- YOU FIGHT IN JUNE?

SUPPOSED TO, SUPPOSED TO.

WHO’S ALL ON THE CARD?

... I DON’T EVEN KNOW, MAN.

YOUR BOY OVER THERE--EDDIE?

NO. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO FIGHT,

BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

GOD, I WANTED TO SEE THAT BOY FIGHT, MAN.

I AIN’T NEVER SEEN HIM FIGHT.

HE’S GOOD.

BOY’S VERY GOOD.

YEAH.

BOY’S REAL GOOD.

HE GET IN SHAPE, HE CAN GET THAT MONEY, MAN.

GOT TO BREAK THAT BODY TO MAKE THE SACRIFICES.

BOY, YOU DON’T MAKE SACRIFICES IN LIFE, YOU AIN’T GETTING ...

THAT’S ANYTHING YOU DO IN LIFE, MAN.

YOU DON’T PAY YOUR DUES, YOU DON’T--

I’M GLAD TO HEAR THAT, MAN.

SOMEBODY NEED TO TELL ME THAT.

YOU DON’T GO TO SCHOOL,

YOU DON’T PAY YOUR DUES, YOU AIN’T GETTING ...

SIMPLE AS THAT, MAN.

I LIKE THAT. THAT GET ME FIRED UP.

YOU DON’T PAY YOUR DUES, YOU DON’T GET NOTHING.

YOU DON’T PAY YOUR DUES, YOU AIN’T GET NOTHING, MAN.

NOTHING COMING TO YOU. YOU GOT TO GO...

[DIAL TONE]

I APPRECIATE THAT, MAN, BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE,

THEY DON’T TELL ME THAT, YOU KNOW,

AND WHEN I HEAR THAT, IT MAKES ME DO BETTER.

YOU HAVE TO. NOBODY GONNA DO THAT FOR YOU.

NOBODY GONNA DO THAT FOR YOU.

YOU GOT TO GO GET IT YOURSELF, MAN.

GOT TO BE TRUE TO ONE PERSON, BRO, AND THAT’S TO YOU INSIDE.

THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS IS IN HERE.

YEAH.

SAYING AND DOING IT’S DIFFERENT THINGS, BRO.

YEAH. I’M GLAD TO HEAR THAT, MAN.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[TIMER BEEPS]

[TIMER BEEPS]

BUT IT’S SO FUNNY BECAUSE IT’S VIEWED AS A VIOLENT SPORT.

GRANTED, WE’RE MAINLY FOCUSING ON HITTING EACH OTHER

AND AIMING FOR PLACES THAT, YOU KNOW, WOULD KNOCK SOMEBODY OUT,

BUT EVERYBODY HERE’S SUPER NICE AND FRIENDLY.

I SEE THAT ALREADY. YEAH.

I SEE THAT ALREADY.

THAT’S GOOD. THAT’S REAL GOOD.

AND ANYBODY WHO DOES COME IN HERE ACTING LIKE A TOUGH ...

DOESN’T LAST VERY LONG.

IT’S JUST LIKE, "DUDE," I DON’T KNOW.

IT’S JUST NOT THE ATMOSPHERE.

THAT’S REAL NICE. VERY NICE.

OK. SO WHAT’S THE WORKOUT?

UM, HAVE YOU GOTTEN A TOUR YET?

NO, NO. WELL, THIS IS MY SECOND TIME.

I THINK THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE WE JUST DID

THE BAGS OR WHATEVER AFTERWARDS.

THAT’S PRETTY TRADITIONAL.

I’D SAY, LIKE, THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES THAT YOU’RE IN HERE

THE MAIN THINGS TO GET DOWN ARE JUST RHYTHMS.

YOU KNOW, LIKE, JUMPING ROPE,

THE SPEED AND ENDURANCE WILL COME.

IT’S JUST ALL ABOUT GETTING THE RHYTHM.

SAME WITH SPEED BAG, JUST GETTING THE RHYTHM OF THE SPEED BAG DOWN,

AND ONCE YOU HAVE THAT, THE SPEED COMES LATER.

I’D SAY START OUT WITH 4 OR 5 ROUNDS OF THAT

AND THEN MAYBE DO, LIKE, A 5, 10, 15 DRILL

ON A HEAVY BAG OR SOMETHING.

OK.

YEAH. IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, JUST LET ME KNOW.

YEAH. CAN YOU SHOW ME HOW TO DO THE--

YEAH, SURE THING. JUST LET ME FINISH WRAPPING UP HERE.

NOW YOU’RE MAINLY GONNA BE HITTING, LIKE, RIGHT HERE,

SO IT’S KIND OF LIKE YOU’RE JUST, LIKE, STABBING AT IT,

AND DON’T LET YOUR FIST GET ANY LOWER THAN HERE.

OK. BECAUSE YOU’LL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE,

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SWITCH HANDS,

THEY’LL, LIKE, DROP THEIR GLOVE,

BUT, I MEAN, ALTHOUGH YOU’RE FOCUSING ON THE FUNDAMENTALS,

YOU WANT TO KEEP IN MIND KEEPING YOUR GLOVES UP AND ALL THAT,

SO JUST, LIKE, I’D SAY-- THE WAY I WAS TAUGHT IS START WITH--

MOST PEOPLE SCREW IT WHEN THEY SWITCH HANDS,

SO, LIKE, DO 10 HITS WITH ONE, 10 HITS WITH THE NEXT,

9, 9, 8, 8, AND IF YOU MESS IT UP, START OVER.

SO IT’S JUST THIS RIGHT HERE.

TIGHT LITTLE CIRCLES. NOT A BIG DEAL.

AND KEEP BOTH OF YOUR GLOVES UP

BECAUSE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU’RE, LIKE, HERE AND YOU DROP IT,

THEN YOU’D HAVE TO BRING YOUR GLOVE ALL THE WAY OUT TO GET IT

TO THE NEXT HIT.

AND THEN ONCE YOU JUST KEEP THAT RHYTHM GOING,

IT’S JUST, YOU KNOW, YOUR ELBOWS ARE PRETTY MUCH STAYING

RIGHT LIKE THIS.

I MEAN, THIS IS KIND OF EXAGGERATED,

BUT YOU’RE JUST RIGHT HERE.

JUST STICK HERE AND KEEP YOUR ARMS UP?

YEAH. IT’S PRETTY SIMPLE.

Richard: IF YOU GET IN SHAPE,

YOU’LL ACTUALLY START FIGHTING.

AS LONG AS YOU STAY AND DON’T GET IN SHAPE, YOU DON’T HAVE TO FIGHT.

THEN YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

THEN YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE,

WHAT COULD HAVE, WHAT SHOULD HAVE.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

I JUST--I JUST GET TO THE POINT WHERE I’M TIRED,

AND I THINK I SHOULD JUST PUSH THROUGH, YOU KNOW?

YOU GOT TO. THAT’S WHAT’S BOXING’S ALL ABOUT,

PUSHING THROUGH IT.

WHEN YOU’RE GETTING YOUR ... KICKED,

YOU GOT TO STEP OUT TO THE SIDE.

YEAH, MAN. I JUST GOT TO PUSH THROUGH.

YEAH. THAT’S WHAT I DID. I WAS LIKE, "TWO ROUNDS IS ALL I’M GONNA DO,"

AND THEN I GOT TO THE THIRD ROUND,

AND I WAS LIKE, "MAN, I JUST SLIPPED THAT REAL GOOD.

I DID MY DEFENSE REAL GOOD."

I WAS LIKE, "I’M GONNA GO MORE."

GOT TO THE THIRD ROUND AND START--A LITTLE CRAMP,

AND THEN I WAS LIKE, "OH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

FOURTH ROUND, KEEP IT COMING."

I GOT 4 ROUNDS OUT, AND I GOT 3 ROUNDS OUT ON, LIKE, THE BAGS AND STUFF.

I ALWAYS SAY 3. I GET TO 3,

AND I’M LIKE, "I’M DONE."

WHICH, I MEAN, DUDE--

ON A SATURDAY, I CAME, AND I DID TWO IN THAT ROOM

AND TWO IN THIS ROOM.

YOU SPARRED?

THAT WAS THE BEST I EVER FELT--

EVEN THOUGH I GOT PUNCHED THE FACE

HARDER THAN I’VE EVER BEEN PUNCHED,

I JUST FELT FANTASTIC.

WHO PUNCHED YOU? WILL?

BLOODIED UP MY NOSE, AND ANOTHER GUY

IN THERE POPPED ME ON THE NOSE.

WILL DID? YEAH.

BUT I FELT GREAT. I WALKED OUT, I FELT LIKE,

"... I DONE SOMETHING THAT I’VE NEVER"--

I’D NEVER DONE FULL ROUNDS BEFORE.

THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL, MAN.

THEY’RE PROS AND AMS, DUDE,

AND THEY’LL GET YOU THE BEST TRAINING.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE. I’M SO--I’M DISAPPOINTED TO BE BACK IN HOUSTON,

BUT I DON’T KNOW OF ANY GYMS,

AND SUPPOSEDLY HOUSTON’S GOT SOME PRETTY LEGITIMATE GYMS.

WHAT? YOU DON’T KNOW OF ANY GYMS IN HOUSTON?

UH-UH.

YOU SHOULD GO ON THE INTERNET, TYPE IN...

I’LL BE OUT THERE IN A SECOND.

"BOXING GYMS IN HOUSTON,"

AND IT WOULD JUST BRING UP A WHOLE LIST

OF ALL THE ONES IN HOUSTON.

YEAH. LIKE, GO TO U.S.A. BOXING OR TEXAS BOXING.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YEAH.

AND IT SHOULD BRING IT UP,

BUT THEY’RE ALL, LIKE, INNER CITY.

I LIVE IN NORTH HOUSTON.

I’M RENTING A HOUSE THERE FROM MY PARENTS, A 5-BEDROOM.

IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME, BUT, LIKE, I DON’T KNOW, MAN.

IT’S JUST MY LIFE ISN’T THE SAME WITHOUT BOXING, DUDE.

I GOT TRAINING PARTNERS, DUDE.

LIKE, I MOVED HERE ABOUT A YEAR AGO,

AND I WAS DOING MIXED MARTIAL ARTS IN HOUSTON UNDER A GUY

THAT’S WORK WITH CHUCK NORRIS AND ALL THIS,

AND HE’S REAL GOOD, MAN, BUT HE WANTED ME DOING MUAY THAI KICKBOXING STUFF,

AND I ALWAYS HAD THE HANDS,

AND I HAD THE FEET, TOO, BUT I’M A BIG GUY.

I DON’T NEED MY FEET, YOU KNOW?

AND SO I GOT IN HERE.

THEN I WENT BACK TO TRAIN WITH HIM WHEN I MOVED BACK

TO HOUSTON A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.

BECAUSE YOU SAW ME IN HERE ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.

YEAH. I SEEN YOU IN HERE BEFORE.

AND THEN WHEN I GOT BACK AND TRAINED WITH THEM WITH MY HANDS, DUDE,

THEY WERE JUST LIKE, "..., WHERE DID YOU GET THIS ABILITY?"

LIKE, "WE CAN’T EVEN KEEP UP WITH YOUR HANDS."

EVEN THE GUY THAT WAS TRAINING ME WAS SAYING,

"MAN, YOUR HANDS ARE PHENOMENAL NOW, YOU KNOW."

I MEAN, I WAS, LIKE, SLIPPING, DUCKING, DIVING, COUNTERING, EVERYTHING.

NOT EVEN TRYING, BREATHING THROUGH MY NOSE THE WHOLE TIME, YOU KNOW.

EVERY SPARRING MATCH WAS LIKE A ACE DUDE.

SO I WAS LIKE THAT’S WHEN I DECIDED THAT I NEED TO TAKE IT UP A NOTCH

AND GET INTO SOMEWHERE WHERE SOMEONE REAL IS GONNA TEACH ME, YOU KNOW?

HOUSTON WILL HAVE SOME GOOD GYMS.

IF YOU’RE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THOSE PLACES,

I BET THEY GOT SOME TOUGH KIDS IN THERE.

OH, THEY GOT TOUGH KIDS. I HAVE A MOTORCYCLE.

THAT’S PROBABLY WHAT I’LL END UP TAKING.

BOXING, MAN, I LOVE IT, DUDE.

I EVEN LOVE GETTING HIT, DUDE.

YOU LOVE GETTING HIT?

I LOVE GETTING HIT IN THE CHIN, DUDE, GETTING BUZZED.

I LOVE BEING BUZZED, PUTTING MY HANDS UP,

AND COMING WITH THAT RIGHT.

BOOM. LANDING ONE RIGHT HERE,

BACKING HIM OFF, YOU KNOW?

I LOVE TAKING ONE RIGHT ACROSS THE CHIN.

I LOVE THE BUZZ.

I LOVE COMING OUT OF HERE AND FEELING LIKE I DONE

SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING NEW.

I JUST LIKE THE BUZZ IT GIVES YOU

BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW QUITE WHERE YOU ARE,

BUT YOU KNOW YOU GOT TO FIGHT TO GET OUT OF WHERE YOU ARE.

SO, I MEAN, YOU JUST STAY LOW, KEEP YOUR HANDS UP,

YOU KNOW, POW, POW.

IF YOU CAN FIND HIM, THEN YOU PICK HIM OFF, YOU KNOW,

BUT IF YOUR BUZZ IS A LITTLE TOUGH.

DO YOU EVER LOOK DOWN WHEN YOU GO DOWN.

I DO SOMETIMES, MAN, BUT I TRY TO KEEP MY HEAD UP

LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU WERE DOING.

I SAW YOU DOING IT, LIKE, TYSON STYLE.

I KIND OF--I FELT MY ARM JUMP,

AND THAT’S WHY I’M LOOKING AT HIS FEET

OR AT HIS BELT LINE.

YOU’RE READING HIM THROUGH HIS BELT LINE?

YEAH. NO ...?

I’VE NEVER DONE THAT.

NO. I’M JUST LOOKING AT WHERE HE IS,

LIKE, HIS FEET AND HIS MIDDLE.

HAVE YOU SEEN TYSON FIGHT BERBICK

AND HE’S DOWN HERE LIKE THIS?

WAS THAT THE GUY-- WAS THAT THE GUY--

YEAH. HE’S DOWN HERE LIKE THIS,

AND HE’S TRYING TO THROW DOWN AT HIM,

AND HE’S PICKING HIM OFF.

HE’S JUST LIKE POW.

AND WHEN SOMEONE IS THROWING DOWN, THEY’RE EVEN MORE OPEN,

THE WHOLE BODY.

PHOOM, PHOOM, DOUBLE UP, YOU KNOW?

WHATEVER, YEAH. SURE.

YOU WATCH RICKY HATTON AT ALL?

RICKY HATTON?

HE’S AN ENGLISH FIGHTER.

140-POUNDER, MAN, AND HE HITS LIKE--

LIKE A SLEDGEHAMMER.

IT’S LIKE HE’S GOT BOULDERS ON HIS HANDS.

REALLY?

Richard: WHEN I SAY, "TWO, HOOK,"

I WANT RIGHT HAND, LEFT HOOK, OK?

TWO IS THE RIGHT HAND.

THIS IS JUST FOR OUR CODE.

1, 2, IS A LEFT, RIGHT.

2, 2 IS A DOUBLE RIGHT.

OK? READY TO GO? HIGH JAB,

LOW JAB, TWO, HOOK.

MAKE THAT A HOOK AND NOT A STRAIGHT HAND.

NO. I’M TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE.

OK. LEFT HA--

RIGHT-HAND HOOK.

AND LEFT-HAND HOOK, RIGHT?

SO TWO, HOOK.

GOOD. HIGH JAB.

HIGH JAB.

OK. THIS IS THE ONLY JAB HAND YOU GOT.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID, "RIGHT HAND."

JAB. HEH. I’M NOT SAYING, "RIGHT HAND."

I’M SAYING, "HIGH JAB. HIGH JAB."

HA HA HA!

CAUGHT ME ON IT AGAIN.

DON’T HIT THAT RIGHT HAND YET.

HIGH JAB.

LOW JAB.

NOW RIGHT HAND, LEFT HOOK.

OK. SO HIGH JAB, LOW JAB,

RIGHT HAND, LEFT HOOK.

BAM, BAM.

NOW I WANT SOME BENDING DOWN.

STRAIGHT OUT, STRAIGHT OUT WITH IT.

STRAIGHT OUT WITH IT. GET ON DOWN.

YEAH. YEAH. YOU’RE STILL PROTECTING YOURSELF

WITH YOUR SHOULDER, OK?

YOU’RE STILL DOWN HERE.

BOOM, BOOM. COME IN WITH THAT RIGHT HAND.

HIGH JAB, LOW JAB.

NO, NO, NO. STRAIGHT JAB.

BOOM, BOOM.

STRAIGHT OUT. STRAIGHT JAB,

STRAIGHT JAB, STRAIGHT JAB.

BEND DOWN.

TWO, HOOK.

TWO, HOOK.

YOU KNOW, REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO SPAR

IN KARATE AND EVERYTHING AND I--

MOM. I’LL REDO IT, BABY. I’LL REDO IT.

WE USED TO GET KNOCKED DOWN ALL THE TIME, REMEMBER?

REMEMBER, I USED TO GET KNOCK--AND THEN I’D COME IN HERE

AND SPARRING, AND I JUST DIDN’T HAVE

MY BALANCE YET FOR BOXING, YOU KNOW,

AND I’D KIND OF GET KNOCKED DOWN,

AND I WOULDN’T REALLY THINK THAT MUCH OF IT,

AND THEN RICHARD WAS LIKE, "MAN, YOU GOT TO QUIT DOING THAT.

YOU GOT TO QUIT"--

YEAH. WELL, GETTING STABLE.

AND THEN LATER ON, I NEVER GOT KNOCKED DOWN, YOU KNOW?

AND IT’S LIKE THE FIRST YEAR OR TWO I WAS HERE,

THEY WERE ALWAYS GOING, "HAPPY FEET, HAPPY FEET."

SHH. SOMEONE ELSE IS TALKING.

AND IT’S REAL EASY WHEN I SEE A KARATE PERSON

WITH BOXING, I GO, "YOU DID KARATE, RIGHT?"

THEY’LL GO, "YEAH. WHY? HOW CAN YOU TELL?"

"HAPPY FEET."

YEAH. THAT’S RIGHT. THAT’S RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, SUG.

NOW LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO PREVENT THAT.

YOU COME AROUND HERE LIKE IN YOUR PALM LIKE SO,

BRING IT AROUND LIKE THAT, AND THEN--

AND THEN YOU DUCT TAPE THEM TOGETHER.

OH, WAIT. NO. THAT’S MY VERSION.

PUT DUCT TAPE RIGHT THERE.

HA HA.

HA HA HA!

[COUGHS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[GRUNTING]

Richard: TURN THEM AROUND.

20 ON EACH SIDE, 20 ON EACH SIDE.

20 ON EACH SIDE.

BE IN A FIGHTING POSITION.

DON’T BE SQUARED OFF.

FIGHTING POSITION, RIGHT?

[TIMER BEEPS]

WHOA!

WE GOT A DEEP DECOMPOSED GRANITE OVER WOOD CHIPS

SO IT’S A LITTLE SPRINGY.

Richard: YEAH. SO IT’S COMFORTABLE.

YEAH.

RELATIVELY EVEN.

RELATIVELY. THERE’S A FEW ROCKS AND THINGS.

YEAH.

I THINK THAT’S MORE THAN 20.

OTHER SIDE. YEAH. I GOT CARRIED AWAY.

I’LL BALANCE IT OUT, THOUGH.

Man: COME OTHER SIDE, PAUL.

YEAH. HE’S ONLY ONE OF, LIKE, TWO PEOPLE

I’VE EVER SEEN WHO CAN DO THIS.

YEAH. OTHER SIDE.

1, 2. YOU CAN TOUCH IF YOU NEED TO.

5...7...9...11...

[TIMER BEEPS]

13...15.

BASIC TRAINING THERE WAS 17 TO 21ish, AND THEN ONCE

I GOT TO OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL--

NOW WHERE WAS THAT AT?

BASIC WAS TRAINING WAS AT FORT JACKSON.

WHERE’S THAT AT?

SOUTH CAROLINA.

WHAT TIME OF YEAR WAS THAT WERE YOU THERE?

MARCH.

I READ A BOOK ABOUT THE MARINES TRAINING IN PARIS ISLAND.

IS IT THAT BAD?

WELL, NO. IT WASN’T THAT BAD

BECAUSE IT STARTED OFF BEING COLD,

COLD IN THE MORNINGS, AND IT WARMED UP IN THE AFTERNOON,

BUT OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL, THAT WAS IN MAY IN GEORGIA.

WHERE AT IN GEORGIA? FORT DIX?

FORT BENNING. FORT BENNING?

YEAH.

SO NOW WHAT DO YOU DO?

I GOT TO FINISH THIS IOBC CLASS

AND THEN GO TO RANGER SCHOOL AND HEAD TO MY UNIT.

SO BUT YOU GOT INTO THE RANGERS DEAL?

THAT’S KIND OF A BIG DEAL, ISN’T IT?

WELL, I HAVEN’T GONE YET.

IT’S JUST RANGER SCHOOL, NOT RANGER BATTALION.

THAT’S DIFFERENT. LIKE, WHEN YOU SAY YOU’RE A RANGER, THAT’S--

WELL... I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW ALL THAT WORKS.

UM, WELL, IF YOU GO TO RANGER SCHOOL,

YOU GET TO WEAR THE RANGERS HAT.

AND YOU ARE DOING THAT, OR YOU’RE NOT?

I WILL DO THAT. OK.

I HAVEN’T DONE IT YET.

THAT’S A LOT HARDER THAN ALL THAT?

WELL, IT’S 62 DAYS OF, UM--

IT WON’T BE-- I MEAN, IT’S NOT EASY.

WELL, BE CAREFUL DOING ALL THAT STUFF.

IT’S JUST TRAINING, YOU KNOW?

62 DAYS IF YOU GO STRAIGHT THROUGH.

MOST PEOPLE DON’T GO STRAIGHT THROUGH.

WELL, LISTEN REAL WELL. IF IT’S JUST TRAINING,

YOU BETTER GET TRAINED UP REAL GOOD.

HOW LONG WILL BE AFTER THE END OF THE YEAR

WHERE YOU MAY HAVE TO GO GET DEPLOYED OR WHATEVER?

WELL, I DON’T THINK MY UNIT’S SCHEDULED TO DEPLOY TILL 2009.

IT’S A NEW BRIGADE THAT JUST STARTED UP.

THAT’S GOOD.

YEAH. WELL, IT’S GOOD AND BAD.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN-- HOW’S IT BAD?

WELL, YOU KNOW, I JOINED THE ARMY TO GO TO COMBAT, SO...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

DON’T BE SO POWERED. DO SPEED.

1, 2, HOOK, 2.

YEAH. BAP, BAP, BAP, BAP.

2, 2, HOOK, 2.

SO I NEED TO PAY MY-- I NEED TO STILL MAKING MY CAR PAYMENTS

AND PAY SOME PEOPLE WHO LOANED ME MONEY,

SO I DON’T WANT TO-- I DON’T LIKE TO OWE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE

BECAUSE I START TO FEEL BADLY,

AND I CAN GO-- YOU KNOW, I GET BORED HERE ALL THE DAY,

AND I CAN’T GO NOWHERE BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE NO MONEY,

SO ..., THAT MAKES ME A...

YEAH. I HEAR YOU, MAN.

A LOT OF STRESSING MY MONEY.

I’M NOT SAYING THAT. WORK FIRST, MAN.

YOU GOT TO HAVE MONEY TO SURVIVE.

YEAH, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

I DON’T WANT TO MISS MY TRAINING.

YEAH. THAT’S WHERE THE FRUSTRATION COMES.

THAT’S REAL HARD. THAT’S WHERE IT’S--

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I’M IN THE SAME SITUATION.

I GOT MY BOY, MY FAMILY,

AND I’M TRYING TO TRAIN AND BE THERE.

YEAH, I KNOW. IT’S TIGHTER. IT’S TIGHTER.

IT’S HARD, MAN, BUT IT WILL ALL WORK OUT, MAN.

JUST STAY WITH IT.

THAT’S IT, MAN. I HAVEN’T--

I’VE BEEN STILL GOING TO THE WEIGHT GYM IN THE MORNINGS,

AND PAST COUPLE WEEKS NOW, I’VE BEEN STAYING THERE, MAN,

I’VE BEEN RUNNING AND...

YOU GOT TO JUST KEEP DOING IT

BECAUSE, LIKE, JUST DOING IT.

DON’T THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE--

YEAH. YEAH.

WHAT YOU GOT THERE? IS THAT THE NEW MAGAZINE?

HUH? THAT’S THE NEW ONE?

NAW.

OH, PAST ONES.

OH, MAN. ALL RIGHT, MAN. I’M GONNA GO FOR THIS RUN, MAN.

ALL RIGHT.

IT’S GONNA GET SO HEATED.

THEY’RE ALREADY TALKING BAD ABOUT EACH OTHER.

DID YOU SEE THE ONE THEY SHOWED--

DID YOU SEE THE ONE THEY SHOWED YESTERDAY?

OH, MAN.

THEY HAD THE CAMERAS?

WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY LET FLOYD MAYWEATHER SEE WHAT THEY DID

ON THE LAST SHOW AND HOW DE LA HOYA WAS TALKING TRASH TO HIM.

HE WAS HOT. HE WAS LIKE, "MAN, GET MY RUNNING STUFF."

MAN, HE TOOK OFF RUNNING, LIKE, 2:00 IN THE MORNING,

SAYING, "I’M FIXING TO GO RUN."

HE WAS HOT, HE WAS MAD.

HE SAID, "MAN, I’M GONNA BEAT IT."

HE’S HOT. SO BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAY.

IT’S ALL HYPE.

YEAH, YEAH. BECAUSE THE CAMERA CREW’S THERE, OSCAR DON’T MIND.

HE’S USED TO THE CAMERA STUFF.

MAYWEATHER’S--

BUT YOU GOT TO REALIZE LIKE MAYWEATHER SAID--

Richard: MAYWEATHER’S USED TO IT. HE’S BEEN AROUND.

HE’S USED TO IT, BUT LIKE HE SAID, MAN, HE’S A KID.

HE DON’T HAVE THAT MANY CAMERAS AROUND.

HE’S GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HIM NOW,

DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

PEOPLE LIKE 50 CENT AND RAPPERS, YOU KNOW?

THAT’S BULL. I MEAN, HELL--

HE’S NOT ONLY GONNA THINK ABOUT HIS FIGHT.

HE’S GONNA THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AROUND HIM NOW,

PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMENTATING ON HIM.

HE’S GONNA BE LIKE, "THAT MIGHT RUIN MY IMAGE.

"I GOT TO WATCH WHO’S AROUND ME NOW.

I GOT TO WORRY ABOUT OTHER STUFF BESIDES TRAINING."

MAN, I THINK HE’S JUST READY TO FIGHT

AND GET IT OVER WITH.

I THINK EVERYBODY’S JUST WAITING IN ANTICIPATION

JUST TO SEE THE FIGHT.

ME PERSONALLY I WANT TO SEE IT.

I MEAN, THIS IS ONE OF THEM KIND OF FIGHTS

YOU CAN’T WAIT TILL THE NEXT SATURDAY TO SEE IT.

YOU GOT TO SEE IT NOW.

STAY DOWN.

FOLLOW.

NO, NO.

OH, MAN.

OH, YOU GOT TO GET OUT FURTHER!

HEH HEH.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

BUT FIRST ALMOST, LIKE, ANGLE IT.

ALL RIGHT.

SO GO JAB, JAB, RIGHT, LEFT HOOK.

JAB, JAB, RIGHT, LEFT HOOK.

THERE YOU GO. THAT’S THE ONE YOU NEED.

THAT’S THE ONE YOU NEED. GOOD.

Richard: COME OVER TO THE SIDE.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO GET IT OUT.

THAT’S YOU’RE RIGHT.

DON’T WAIT FOR A RECEIVE. STEP OVER TO YOUR RIGHT.

THERE YOU GO. LOOK AT THAT. SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

COMBINATION, COMBINATION.

LOOK AT HIM EATING.

POSTERS AIN’T CAME IN YET?

I’M WORKING ON IT, WORKING ON IT.

I ALREADY GOT PEOPLE THAT THEY WILLING TO PUT IT UP IN THE STORE,

LIKE ATV AND DASH PROPERTY.

UH-HUH. WHERE ELSE?

A COUPLE CONVENIENT STORES.

EVEN MY CHURCH.

CROSS.

NOW CROSS.

CROSS.

LET’S GO, LET’S GO. ONE MINUTE. ONE MINUTE.

COME ON, COME ON.

IN THE CORNER RIGHT HERE.

IN THE CORNER.

ONE AT A TIME, BRENT. ONE AT A TIME.

YOU PICKED UP TWO.

HERE. HERE. RIGHT HERE.

Man: BUT, UH, I USED TO HAVE ASTHMA

BEFORE I STARTED COMING HERE.

OH, YEAH. IT WAS BAD.

I COULDN’T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT THAT STUPID INHALER,

AND FOR SOME REASON, WHEN I STARTED COMING HERE A FEW YEARS AGO,

IT JUST WENT AWAY, IT JUST ALL CLEARED UP,

AND THEN I GUESS THIS PAST TIME WHEN WE HAD

THAT ICE STORM AND EVERYTHING--

I GUESS WHAT WAS THAT, JANUARY OR SOMETHING WHEN IT ICED OVER?

IT JUST TRIGGERED IT, AND I COULDN’T DO ANYTHING AGAIN.

HAD TO GO BACK ON THE MEDICATIONS,

COULDN’T RUN, COULDN’T WORK OUT.

HOW ABOUT YOU? YOU GETTING IN THE RING AGAIN?

YES, PRETTY SOON.

THIS IS MY LAST YEAR, AND THEN I’M DONE, BRO.

THAT’S IT? I’M DONE, BRO.

THEN I’LL BE DONE FOR GOOD.

BUT, YEAH, I’M DEFINITELY GLAD TO BE BACK, MAN.

THAT’S GOOD. YEAH.

BECAUSE THAT’S A TOUGH-- TOUGH THING TO DEAL WITH, THE ASTHMA.

AND THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HERE ARE

WHITE-COLLAR, BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS, STUDENTS, MAMAS,

SECRETARIES, DOCTORS, LAWYERS.

WELL, WHEN DO MOST OF THE WOMEN COME DOWN HERE AND WORK OUT?

IS IT JUST SPORADIC?

IT’S SPORADIC. MOSTLY AT NIGHT

BECAUSE IT’S THE EVENING WHERE EVERYBODY’S

GETTING OFF WORK AND OUT OF SCHOOL.

I GOT A LOT OF WOMEN THAT COME IN HERE.

I’VE HAD 3 CLIENTS THIS MORNING, FEMALES, THAT HAVE COME IN EARLY.

OK. JUST WHENEVER.

THEY’RE A WIDE RANGE. I’VE GOT THEM UP TO 68 YEARS OLD.

OK. I’VE GOT A 68-YEAR-OLD LADY HITS

THE SPEED BAG BETTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE.

WOW! THAT’S GREAT.

I SAY SHE’S 68. HER NAME’S CARLENE GRISCOMB.

SHE CAN HIT THE SPEED BAG BETTER

THAN ANY OF MY PRO FIGHTERS.

WOW. THAT’S NEAT. THAT’S GREAT.

SHE’S GOTTEN REAL GOOD AT IT.

UH-HUH. WELL, WHEN WOMEN DO BRING THEIR KIDS UP HERE,

WHAT DO THEY USUALLY DO WITH THEM?

THEY JUST KIND OF HANG OUT WITH THEM?

YEAH, YEAH. KEEP THEM CONTAINED.

SOME OF THEM PUT LITTLE RESTRAINTS ON THEM.

NO. AS LONG AS THEY’RE-- I MEAN, RIGHT NOW--

YEAH. SHE DOESN’T DO MUCH.

SHE AIN’T GOING ANYWHERE.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

I’VE GOT SEVERAL NEW MAMAS.

I’VE GOT A GIRL THAT JUST GOT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

AND JUST HAD HER A KID,

AND SHE BRINGS HIM AROUND.

OK. OK.

AND SETS HIM WHEREVER SHE’S AT, YOU KNOW,

AND IT’S PRETTY ENTERTAINING.

THERE’S A LOT OF NOISE, A LOT OF COLOR,

A LOT OF FLASH, AND KIDS SEEM TO LIKE IT.

OK. YEAH, MY BOYS ARE GOOD.

YOU KNOW, THEY’RE PRETTY WELL-BEHAVED,

SO IF I HAD TO BRING THEM UP HERE,

I THINK IT’D BE OK.

THAT’D BE NO PROBLEM

BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE FUN HERE ANYWAY.

THEY WOULD. YEAH. THERE’S A LOT TO LOOK AT.

IT’S LIKE A PLAYSCAPE FOR THESE--

THAT’S WHAT I HAD-- MY SON’S 9 YEARS OLD.

IS HE? OK.

AND LAST YEAR AT ONE POINT--

I TAKE THIS RING OUT A LOT AND USE IT

PERIODICALLY OUTSIDE HERE FOR EVENTS,

AND IT WAS GONE ONE DAY, AND MY LITTLE BOY CAME

WITH A COUPLE OF HIS BUDDIES FROM SCHOOL, AND THEY CAME IN.

THEY’RE LIKE, "MR. LORD, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PLAYSCAPE?"

THEY REFERRED TO IT AS A PLAYSCAPE.

THEY DIDN’T KNOW IT AS A BOXING RING.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT TO THEM, I THINK.

THEY GET ON IT AND FLIP AROUND.

HE’S 9 YEARS OLD. HE’S BEEN IN GYMNASTICS SINCE HE WAS 3.

SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF FUN.

THEY’RE TUMBLING AND FLIPPING OVER.

OH, I BET, I BET.

YOU DONE THERE, SEÑOR?

YEAH. OK.

YOU GONNA GO DO THAT DEAL WITH HIM?

YEAH. I’M GONNA DO THAT. YOU GOT TO DO IT WITH US.

I’M GONNA HIT THE BAG AND STUFF.

THIS IS MY TIME. I’M WON’T BE ABLE TO COME BACK LATER.

YEAH. DO THAT, AS WELL. THAT STRENGTHENS.

THAT STRENGTHENS YOU.

I CAN’T WIN WITH YOU NO MATTER WHICH WAY AROUND.

I CAN’T TRY TO TALK MY WAY OUT OF NOTHING, HUH?

IF THIS GUY EVER DOES WHAT I TELL HIM TO DO,

HE’S GONNA BE A WORLD CHAMPION, MAN.

OH, WOW. THAT’S GREAT.

LIKES TO BE LAZY TOO MUCH.

HA HA HA!

I’M GONNA BE AROUND. I’M GONNA DO SOMETHING.

I’VE BEEN HERE EVERY DAY SO FAR PAST--WHAT--

TWO WEEKS.

2 WEEKS OUT OF 3 YEARS. THAT’S NOT BAD.

HEY, BUT I BEEN GOING TO THE WEIGHT GYM, TOO.

YEAH. YEAH.

GET OVER THERE AND DO THAT WITH HIM.

THEN YOU CAN GET YOUR WORKOUT.

COME ON. HARDER.

HARDER.

[GRUNTING]

COME ON.

JAB, JAB, JAB, JAB, JAB.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

STEP IN.

Man: YOU FIND YOURSELF 10 YEARS LATER FROM TODAY,

AND THEN YOU SAY, "MAN."

YOU SEE SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS UP THERE ON TV.

YOU SEE EMANUEL STEWARD THERE,

AND THEN YOU SAY, "MAN, I COULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT THERE, TOO,"

AND THAT’S THE ONE CHANCE IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU HAVE,

AND IT JUST GOES AWAY.

I’M 41 YEARS OLD RIGHT NOW.

I PROBABLY COULD THROW DOWN A COUPLE OF 6-ROUNDERS,

BUT THAT’S IT, YOU KNOW?

YEAH.

AN UPCOMING FIGHTER’S GONNA COME UP,

AND THEY’RE GONNA BE SO SWIFT,

IT DON’T MATTER HOW GOOD I AM.

IF YOU GET LUCKY, YOU’LL KNOCK HIM OUT.

IF NOT, HE’LL CUT YOU UP OR HE’LL BE ALL OVER YOU,

AND YOU’LL LOSE THE FIGHT.

YEAH. THAT HAPPENED.

IT GOT UP THERE IN ’96. I WAS ALREADY 31.

I GOT HEAD-BUTTED IN THE FIRST ROUND.

YOUNG FIGHTER GOING WILD AND ALL THAT.

GOT HEAD-BUTTED IN THE FIRST ROUND.

ANYWAY.

WORKING HARD, MAN.

THANKS, MAN.

WHAT’S THE GAMING GUY-- RICHARD--

RICHARD GARRIOTT.

YEAH. I MAY GET TO GO TO HIS HOUSE SATURDAY NIGHT.

REALLY? YEAH.

SUPPOSEDLY HE BUILT, LIKE, SOME SHAKESPEARIAN THEATER,

LIKE A REPLICATION OF THE GLOBE THEATER.

YEP. I’VE BEEN THERE. BEEN THERE.

I’VE SEEN IT IN ACTION.

I THINK HE’S GOT SOMETHING GOING ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

YEAH. IT’S A REPLICATION.

YOU SEE HIS STUFF ON "CRIME STOPPERS" THE OTHER DAY?

HE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE.

A BUNCH OF STUPID CRIMINAL TRICKS.

THESE COLLEGE KIDS, COLLEGE-AGE KIDS IN THEIR EARLY 20s,

9 OF THEM WENT OUT THERE AND VANDALIZED HIS WHOLE PLACE

AND BROKE IN TO VARIOUS OF HIS--

LIKE, HE HAD A LITTLE LIQUOR AREA OUT THERE,

A LITTLE LIQUOR STORE.

IT’S A LITTLE, UH-- WHERE THAT PLACE

THAT YOU’RE GONNA GO TO SATURDAY NIGHT,

THERE’S GONNA BE A WHOLE LITTLE MINIATURE TOWNSHIP THAT HE BUILT OUT THERE,

ALL KINDS OF STUFF.

THESE IDIOTS WENT OUT THERE BROKE IN TO HIS PLACE

AND STOLE A BUNCH OF HIS EXPENSIVE LIQUOR AND VANDALIZED--

WELL, THEY TOOK PICTURES OF THEMSELVES DOING IT.

HA HA HA!

AND THEY LEFT THE CAMERA.

THEY GOT DRUNK, LEFT THE CAMERA THERE.

THAT’S ABOUT RIGHT, ISN’T IT?

DOESN’T THAT WORK GREAT? UH-HUH.

SO HE WENT IN THE NEXT DAY AND GOT

THE PHOTOS AND ALL THAT STUFF.

DID HE GET THEM?

PUT THEM ON "CRIME STOPPERS,"

AND SOON AS THEY PUT THEM--

WELL, HE TURNED IT OVER TO THE POLICE,

AND THEY TOLD HIM, "GIVE US A MONTH ON THIS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING."

SO HE HELD OF, HE DID, DIDN’T DO NOTHING FOR A MONTH,

AND THEY DIDN’T DO-- THE COPS DIDN’T GET ANY RESULTS,

AND SO HE CALLED "CRIME STOPPERS," AND BOOM!

THAT NIGHT, MAN, IT JUST CAME IN DROVES,

ALL THE E-MAILS FROM VARIOUS PEOPLE,

BUT IT WAS, LIKE, HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS

OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO KNOW FROM ANYTHING FROM REWARDS

TO "I WAS THERE, BUT I DIDN’T DO IT" E-MAILS, YOU KNOW?

"I WAS JUST WATCHING THEM."

YEAH. "I WAS JUST WATCHING. I WAS"--

WELL...

WHAT’S THE UPDATE?

UH, NOT MUCH.

21 INJURED?

21 KILLED, 21 INJURED,

PLUS THE SHOOTER’S DEAD.

KRISTINA WAS SHOT IN THE ABDOMEN,

AND THE BULLET HAS LODGED IN HER KIDNEY,

SO I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S GOOD, BAD, OR OTHERWISE,

BUT APPARENTLY SHE’S IN STABLE CONDITION AT THE MOMENT,

BUT, UH, I ACTUALLY DON’T KNOW HOW THAT GOES.

WHETHER KIDNEYS-- IF YOU’RE GONNA GET SHOT,

I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S A GOOD PLACE

OR A BAD PLACE TO GET SHOT.

Man: I’D SAY IT’S A BAD PLACE.

I GUESS AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR OTHER ONE.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH YOU?

NOW YOU GOT--

SO WHO THESE FOLKS ARE TO ME

IS ERIC ANDERSON IS THE PRESIDENT OF SPACE ADVENTURES,

AND AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOMEBODY UP IN SPACE RIGHT NOW,

CHARLES SIMONYI, ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF MICROSOFT,

AND SO A LOT OF OUR FOLKS ARE IN MOSCOW

AT MISSION CONTROL, WHICH IS WHERE I GOT THE FIRST CALL FROM

IS MOSCOW.

ABOUT OVER HERE?

ABOUT OVER HERE. YEAH.

AND SO ERIC’S STEPDAUGHTER IS KRISTINA,

AND KRISTINA GOES TO VIRGINIA TECH OF COURSE,

AND SHE OBVIOUSLY HAPPENED TO BE THERE

RIGHT WHEN THIS OCCURRED,

APPARENTLY IN THE ENGINEERING BUILDING.

WHERE IT OCCURRED?

WHERE IT OCCURRED. ON THE FOURTH FLOOR

OF THE ENGINEERING BUILDING, SO...

BEYOND THAT, DON’T KNOW.

WE’LL FIND OUT.

WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT THE SHOOTER?

WAS HE A DISGRUNTLED STUDENT?

WAS HE JUST--

KELLY SAID ON THE NEWS WHAT THEY’VE BEEN SAYING

IS THAT THE SAME SCHOOL HAS RECEIVED

A COUPLE OF BOMB THREATS

OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS,

BUT THEY HAVEN’T YET ACKNOWLEDGED

OR SPECULATED AS TO WHETHER THEY’RE RELATED

ON THE NEWS ANYWAY.

BUT SHE DIDN’T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THE SHOOTER,

AS TO WHETHER HE WAS A STUDENT OR PASSERBY OR WHAT.

YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE SOMEBODY RELATED TO THE SCHOOL

IF IT WAS ON THE FOURTH FLOOR

OF THE ENGINEERING BUILDING, YOU KNOW,

VERSUS, LIKE, OUT FRONT.

YEP.

THAT’S WHAT YOU SAID WHEN YOU WALKED IN THE DOOR.

WELL, I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BOX.

NO, SIR. OK.

I’M NOT LOOKING FOR THAT.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

I’M 19. OK.

OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER.

YES, SIR.

I’M NOT LOOKING FOR A FIGHT.

SURE IS NICE TO KNOW HOW TO FIGHT IF YOU GET IN ONE.

IT HELPS A LOT.

MOST PEOPLE HERE AVOID FIGHTS

SO THAT THEY DON’T GET THEIR HANDS BROKE

SO THEY DON’T-- SO THAT THEY DON’T HAVE TO MISS OUT IN HERE.

HEY, GUYS. JUST A SECOND, OK?

LET ME GET YOU. COME ON IN,

NO CONTRACTS, ON INITIATION FEES, NO PLASTIC,

AND THAT’S IT, AND YOU JUST COME IN--

I’M OPEN ALL DAY LONG.

SOUNDS LIKE A SQUARE DEAL.

AND WHATEVER DAY YOU WANT TO START ON,

THAT’S THE FIRST OF THE MONTH FOR YOU.

THEN YOU’LL BE DUE THAT DAY THE NEXT MONTH

IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE.

SO HOW’D YOU HEAR OF THIS PLACE?

WELL, I WENT TO A COUPLE OF--

I MEAN, MY DAD TOOK ME TO A COUPLE OF JESUS’ FIGHTS

A WHILE-- OH, YEAH?

YEAH. A WHILE A GO.

YOU SEE SOME BACK AT THE MUSIC HALL?

YEAH.

YOU WENT TO THE MUSIC HALL ONES?

DO YOU REMEMBER WHICH ONES?

UH...

I REALLY DON’T.

I REMEMBER SEEING A BUNCH OF POSTERS

ABOUT ZAMARRON THE ASSASSIN. YEAH, YEAH.

I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE FOUGHT THAT NIGHT.

SHE MIGHT HAVE FOUGHT THAT NIGHT.

YEAH. VERY WELL COULD HAVE.

YOU’LL SEE THEM AROUND HERE PERIODICALLY.

YEAH, BUT MY DAD’S TAKING ME OUT TO A COUPLE OF CHAVEZ’S FIGHTS,

AND, UM, APPARENTLY SOME PEOPLE HE WORKED WITH KNOW JESUS

AND JUST TOLD US ABOUT THIS PLACE REALLY.

YEAH. COOL, COOL.

I DON’T ADVERTISE. I DON’T HAVE A COMMERCIAL PERMIT.

I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE PLACE.

I LOOKED UP ONLINE, AND I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE PLACE.

THEY TELL YOU BEHIND THE GOODWILL STORE?

YEAH. I DIDN’T EVEN SEE A GOODWILL.

I JUST DROVE BY AND SAW IT OUT OF LUCK.

THAT’S ALL RIGHT, THAT’S ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS A WAIVER FORM.

YOU WANT TO FILL THAT OUT FOR ME?

UH, SURE.

I’LL HAVE THAT ON FILE, AND THAT’S ALL I NEED.

Woman: READY, SET, GO.

LET’S GO, LET’S GO.

I KNEW PEOPLE WHO WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT--

THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY COULD HAVE STOPPED THAT.

YOU CAN’T STOP THAT, MAN.

I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU DO. YOU CAN’T STOP IT, BRO.

THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE GONNA STOP IT

BUM-RUSH THAT ... THAT’S IT.

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING.

I’M SAYING, LIKE, BEFORE THAT, THERE’S NO WAY.

YOU DON’T KNOW WHO’S GONNA DO IT.

THERE’S NO WAY YOU CAN EVER KNOW THAT.

YOU’RE NEVER GONNA KNOW THAT.

I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH PSYCHOLOGY, GOING TO SCHOOL,

YOU AIN’T NEVER GONNA KNOW WHO’S GONNA KILL, WHO AIN’T GONNA KILL.

NO, BUT IF I WERE Y’ALL--

IF I WERE Y’ALL AND Y’ALL BUM-RUSHED THAT ...

ONLY ONE OF Y’ALL GONNA GO.

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING.

NOW ALL OF Y’ALL ... IS DEAD.

1 OR 2 PEOPLE GONNA KILLED OUT OF 32 OR 33,

THAT WOULD BE A BIG DIFFERENCE

IF THEY WOULD HAVE RUSHED HIM.

I’LL BUM-RUSH THAT ... QUICK.

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING, MAN.

THAT ... JUST NOT RIGHT, MAN.

IT’S JUST IT’S SCARY, THOUGH, MAN.

IT’S SAD THAT IT HAPPENED, MAN.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE SADDEST PART IS?

IT’S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN.

THAT’S THE SADDEST PART. YOU KNOW SOMETIMES--

THEY WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOUR SCHOOL.

THEY WANT TO GET A LOT OF YOUR SCHOOLS TO GO OUT THERE

TO SECURE A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS, MAN.

I HOPE IT DON’T HAPPEN AGAIN,

BUT YOU KNOW SOMETIME, 10 YEARS--

SOMETHING LIKE THAT’S GONNA--IF IT’S A WORKPLACE.

I MEAN, IT HAPPENS, BRO. IT HAPPENED IN COLUMBINE,

IT HAPPENED IN SOME-- THE POSTAL PLACES.

IT’S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN SOMEWHERE.

THAT’S THE SAD PART.

YEAH.

THAT’S THE PART THAT--

I HOPE NOT, BUT I BELIEVE IT.

I HOPE NOT EITHER, MAN.

THAT ... BOTHERS ME, BRO.

THAT SOME MENACING ... MAN.

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING. THE PART THAT PISSED ME OFF

EVEN MORE A LOT, TOO, MAN IS THE FACT THAT HE SHOT HIMSELF, MAN.

GO ON, MAN. SHOOT ON PEOPLE,

NOW SHOOT ON WITH THE COPS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING? DON’T TRY TO GET OUT EASY.

DON’T GET OUT LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW, CART HIS ... TO PRISON.

LET HIM GET HIS ... WHUPPED BY THEM ... IN THERE.

... ... YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING, BRO?

YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING?

DROP LOWER. GET DOWN HERE, GET DOWN HERE.

OK? GET DOWN LOW. DROP LOW.

YEAH. DROP THAT LOW EVERY TIME. GOOD.

YOU SEE HOW THAT BOUNCES UP FOR YOU?

YOU GOT THAT RHYTHM NOW, RIGHT?

THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

YOU’RE GONNA DO THIS JUST ONE ROUND TODAY.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH]

Man: WELL, THAT’S THE THING. WHEN YOU FIND A GOOD ANALOGY--

AND AGAIN, IT’S ONLY GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU GOT TO ADAPT TO THE OTHER.

I LIKE TO BREAK IT DOWN MORE AND UNDERSTAND

SYSTEMATICALLY HOW THINGS WORK.

ANALOGY’S GREAT FOR POETRY,

BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON.

BUT STILL THE-- THERE’S TWO SIDES

TO A LOT OF THIS STUFF OR MORE.

THERE’S THE INTELLECTUAL SIDE,

BUT THERE’S THE INTUITIVE, FEEL SIDE,

AND THE ANALOGY WILL OFTEN CONNECT YOU MORE

TO "OH, IT FEELS THAT WAY."

A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I’M TRYING TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW,

I FIND SOMETHING I DO THAT EMPHASIZES THAT MOTION

AND THAT EXAGGERATES IT, AND THEN YOU GO, "OH, OK."

AND I TEACH MYSELF, "AH, THERE’S WHERE THE FLOW IS.

AH. I’M FEELING THAT-- I’M NOT MOVING HARD."

YOU KNOW? THAT’S RIGHT. BRINGING ME IN.

THERE YOU GO.

Different man: I’D LIKE TO GET MORE EXPERIENCE

AND GO BACK AND FIGHT HIM AGAIN.

FIGHT HIM AGAIN AND KNOCK HIM OUT, HUH?

YEAH. I REALLY WOULD.

JUST BECAUSE FOR ME, THAT’S JUST A LITTLE BOXING EXPERIENCE

TO GO IN THERE AND FIGHT THAT GUY,

I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THAT ONE MATCH, MAN.

I THINK IF I TRAIN CONSISTENTLY,

KEEP ON WORKING HARD,

I COULD GET HIM IN THE FUTURE NO PROBLEM.

THAT’S LIKE WHAT I TOLD RICHARD LORD.

I WANT TO FIGHT MY OPPONENT, MAN, THE GUY I LOST TO,

THE LAST GUY I LOST TO-- I ONLY LOST TO HIM--

HE’S YOUR ONLY LOSS?

IT WAS A 6-ROUND DECISION.

IT WAS THE MAKING WEIGHT, TRYING TO MAKE WEIGHT

AND THE TRAVELING.

WE HAD TO TAKE ABOUT 14 PLANES TO GET OUT THERE

AND DRIVE 3, 4-- OR 6 HOURS, WE HAD TO DRIVE.

WERE YOU TIRED BEFORE YOU EVEN GOT IN THE RING?

MAN, I WAS JUST-- YEAH, I WAS,

BUT IT WAS A GOOD FIGHTER, MAN.

YOU REALLY CAN’T SAY.

THEM ARE MY EXCUSES. I AM MAKING EXCUSES.

THE TRAVELING KILLED ME, MAN,

AND I WAS TRYING TO MAKE WEIGHT,

AND I LOST A 6-ROUND DECISION, MAN.

IT WAS A GOOD FIGHT, MAN, BUT...

HE WAS BETTER, HE WAS BETTER THAN ME THAT NIGHT,

BUT I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, THOUGH, I’LL GET HIM AGAIN.

YOU’LL FIGHT HIM AGAIN.

Man: UNH!

WALK HIM AROUND, DUDE.

HANDS UP. HANDS UP. SLIP.

HANDS RIGHT BACK UP.

DOWN ON YOUR WEIGHT.

COME ON. THROW YOUR HANDS OUT.

DOWN ON YOUR WEIGHT.

MAN! THAT’S HOW YOU THROW A RIGHT HAND, FROM THERE, YEAH.

THERE YOU GO. THAT’S WHAT HE’S GIVING YOU, TAKE IT.

[TIMER BEEPS]

30 SECONDS!

[TIMER BEEPS]

TIME.

[TIMER BEEPS]

Richard: LET’S GO IN.
