Girlfight

Don't lie to me. I know that something is up.

Why do we have to keep talking about this? It's over.

Look, he's not all that, anyway.

- But I like him. - Marisol, it's a free country.

Just because you have a crush on him doesn't mean you own him.

You didn't even notice him until you found out I liked him.

-(SIGHS) Please. Get over yourself. - It's true.

You could have any boy you want in this school, and you choose him.

Look, nothing happened. Okay?

Can we be friends now?

You fucked him.

I did not.

You're lying.

You had sex with him?

Guzman, you suck.

It didn't mean anything to me.

If he prefers me over you, is that my problem?

Maybe it's time you took a look in the mirror.

It's time for a makeover.

Apologize to her.

Excuse me? -You heard me. Say you're sorry.

Yeah, right.

Come on, girls, let's bounce.

I'm telling you, that bitch is psycho.

Get off me, you fuckin' bitch!

Jesus. American Gladiators.

Show's over.

You kids are late for class.

You're fucking crazy, Guzman!

You started it, you fuckin' bitch! -Enough!

- She's lying! -BOY: Yo, Tiny, check your sister!

- You know what you did. -MR. Both of you are at fault.

- I didn't do nothing! -Except be your stinky, skanky self.

I said hustle, or all of you end up in detention!

Report after school, or you're suspended.

See you.

You are another story. Now come on.

This is your fourth fight this semester.

You simply can't continue to behave like this.

Have you ever considered how much more effective it would be

to talk about your disagreement?

You have a serious problem.

In or out of school, your life is only gonna get harder because of it.

You might want us to find someone who can help you deal with this.

I don't need any help.

Fine. It's up to you. I am out of options.

One more fight, and you're expelled.

Who cares if I'm expelled?

Diana, ask yourself that question.

Up the ante. Up.

- Money on the wood. Hey there, it's Diana.

Oh, yeah, the gym's probably closed by now.

- I got held up at school. - You in trouble again?

No.

Here. Tell Hector I'll have the rest for him next week.

Not after this game.

- Where am I going? - Take the 61 to York.

It's near the water.

Why you sending your girl down there?

'Cause she's paying Hector. My good man from Panama's training Tiny.

Man, you're the living likeness of your mother.

- I was just saying... - Just play.

Later.

You need some variety. I give it to you.

I'm looking for Hector.

The ring in the back.

The right, Tiny.

Remember your combinations, Tiny.

- Last round. - You said we go to four.

He's not ready.

Not ready, huh? - Oh!

Where the hell's Don?

What's up? -You better keep your eye on this bozo.

- He don't listen to a word I say. - Well, make him listen.

What the fuck?

That's my brother, you little shit.

Let me go! I'm gonna get her!

I gotta put you in a cage?

- The ho hit me first. -I mean that crap in the ring.

It's embarrassing. Being beaten twice in a day makes me look like a pussy.

Hey, watch your mouth.

- Why'd you mess with Ray like that? - He's a punk, Tiny.

- We were sparring. -It didn't look that way to me.

Here, this is from my dad.

You Sandro's kid, too?

How come I never heard about you?

I don't know. I'm his pride and joy.

(SIGHS) Jesus Christ.

Nice meeting you.

Yeah.

You been humiliated.

You fight dirty with a little kid.

Then you got slapped by a little girl.

That's weak, Ray.

The bitch is lucky I didn't kill her.

- You spared her some mighty force, huh? - That's right.

Who's the dish?

Mmm. Should have me a taste and find out.

Little man.

- You know I was just playin', right? - I know.

Can we shake?

Thought you had a friend.

Come on, man.

Hey, killer.

I forgive you, too.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

I mean, I guess you never learned how to be a lady.

You shouldn't hit people like that.

I couldn't resist.

Tiny, let's go.

Got that scholarship application I told you about.

- For that art school? - Yeah. It's cool.

You gotta learn all kinds of stuff before you can do any work.

You know, to get a foundation.

You would think that's cool.

Sounds like a waste of time to me.

Learn how to draw. What's that gonna get you, Tiny?

A job painting somebody's house out in Long Island somewhere?

Maybe.

Edward clean you out like he said he would?

Yeah, well, he screws himself when he talks like that.

I'm not finished.

I know.

So, how was school, champ?

It was okay. Lots of excitement.

When I was a kid, school was so boring...

I thought I'd piss in my pants waiting to get out in the world.

So, did it happen?

- What? - (PHONE RINGING)

Did you get out in the world?

What kind of question is that?

Dad. - (SIGHS)

It's Ms. Martinez.

When?

No, she didn't mention it.

Yes.

Yeah.

Okay.

Why you always gotta fuck up like this, huh?

Veronica asked for it.

You embarrass me. Sometimes I don't even think you're mine.

- (PLATE SHATTERS) - Maybe I'm not your kid.

That better be cleaned up by the time I come back.

If I was enough of a skeez, I could pull that off.

Why would you want to?

Veronica say anything to you?

Yeah, if she wants to choke on her teeth.

Always with that damn mirror of hers.

"Let me get made up just perfect.

"so I can suck your dick",

"which is all I'm good for, anyway."

- Let it rest with her already. - How come?

Because she can be bitchy, but that's not all she's about.

- Some fucking loyalty. - Don't be like that.

She treats you like shit. Why take her side?

Diana, I don't take sides.

Veronica don't even mean half the stuff she says.

Look, I just wanna be friends with everybody. That's the way I am.

Yeah, well, I hate her, and that's the way I am.

Set his wife on fire, then fatally shot himself.

Neighbors of the slain woman expressed shock and sorrow today as...

Knock-knock.

It was open.

You here to beat me up?

No.

Remember her from the other day? The bare knuckles.

You should've seen Ray's face.

- (SPEAKING SPANISH) - (LAUGHING)

Hey, I'm trying to say something.

I wanna train with you. I wanna be a boxer.

Sure. It's a great workout.

No, for real. I wanna fight.

- You can train, but you can't fight. - Why not?

You just can't.

Girls don't have the same power as boys.

Why not aerobics?

Am I talking to you?

Nice.

There's plenty of things you can do better with your life than box.

Prove it.

You got money? 'Cause I don't work for free.

A little.

I charge $10 a session, and that's cut-rate.

I don't have that kind of cash.

Well, there you go.

- Dad? - Hmm?

You know how you pay for Tiny to train with Hector?

Well, I was thinking on how that's like an allowance.

And I should get one, too.

It's not an allowance.

Then what is it?

I'm preparing him for the world out there.

- Yeah, but... - Look, it's insurance.

These kids are gonna eat him alive.

- That's not true. - Tiny, it is true.

What if he doesn't want to box?

Sure, he wants to. What kid wouldn't?

He could go to college, Dad.

He could do all sorts of stuff with himself.

You think I don't know that? You think this is just spending money for him?
