>>DAD? >>I'M BACK HERE SON.
>>I GOT INTO A FIGHT AT SCHOOL. >>WHAT?
>>I GOT INTO A FIGHT. >>THAT IS AWESOME!
DID YOU USE THE MOVES I TAUGHT YOU? I NEED A PLAY BY PLAY.
>>YEAH, WELL FIRST I STARTED WITH A BASIC CLOSE LINE.
>>OH, GOOD CHOICE. GOOD CHOICE.
>>YEAH, I THOUGHT SO TOO, BUT WHEN I REACHED HIS HEAD--
>>DID HE DUCK? >>NO, HE PUNCHED ME.
>>WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. DID YOU REACT THE WAY I TAUGHT YOU TO?
>>YEAH, I FLAILED MY ARMS AND STUMBLED BACKWARDS. >>YEAH, ATTA BOY.
ATTA BOY. DID YOU MAKE ANY DRAMATIC SOUNDS?
>>WELL, I WOULD HAVE, BUT THAT'S WHEN I THREW UP.
>>FIRST FIGHT JITTERS HUH? >>WELL, NO IT WAS BECAUSE HE PUNCHED ME IN
THE STOMACH. >>SON, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED TO THROW
UP. >>NO, DAD, I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE.
HIS FIST MADE CONTACT. >>LIKE, PHYSICAL CONTACT?
>>YEAH, IT DIDN'T STOP. IT JUST WENT RIGHT INTO MY STOMACH.
>>ROOKIE, MISTAKES. CLEARLY THIS KID DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGHT.
>>I KNOW! THAT'S WHY I SAID, "HEY, WHO TAUGHT
"YOU HOW TO FIGHT? YOU CALL THAT A PUNCH?"
>>YEAH, GOOD FOR YOU. HE NEEDS TO LEARN TO BE MORE CAREFUL.
>>YEAH, WELL THAT JUST SEEMED TO MAKE HIM MORE ANGRY.
>>IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW ALL OF YOUR EMOTIONS.
NOW DID YOU MAKE AN ANGRY FACE IN RESPONSE? >>I DID, BUT HIS SEEMED MORE REAL THAN MINE.
>>WHAT? LET ME SEE YOUR ANGRY FACE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. >>YEAH, WELL HIS WAS BETTER.
ANYWAY THAT'S WHEN HE CHARGED AT ME. >>OH MAN, THIS IS EXCITING.
>>YEAH, I TRIED TO ANTICIPATE WHAT MOVE HE WAS GOING TO DO,
YOU KNOW, SO THAT I COULD HELP HIM DO IT-- >>RIGHT.
WHAT MOVE DID HE USE? >>A PUNCH AGAIN.
>>OH MAN THIS KID IS NOT ONE FOR VARIETY. >>I KNOW!
AND THE THING IS HE'S NOT EVEN GOOD AT IT. HIS FIST HIT ME AGAIN RIGHT IN THE FACE!
>>OKAY, WHO WAS REFFING THIS THING? >>NO ONE!
>>NO REFEREE? AND HE'S MAKING PHYSICAL CONTACT?
WHAT KIND OF FIGHT IS THIS? >>NOW I GOT THIS STUPID BLACK EYE.
>>JUST LIKE THE TIME YOUR SISTER PUNCHED YOU IN THE FACE.
POOR GIRL HAS NO CONTROL. >>THAT'S WHY I SAID, "YOU HIT LIKE MY
SISTER." >>YEAH, WHAT'D SAY TO THAT?
>>NOTHING. HE JUST STARED AT MY LIKE HE WAS CONFUSED.
AT LEAST I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE WAS DOING. IT WAS HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE TEARS.
>>THEN WHAT HAPPENED? >>WELL, I THOUGHT, I AM GOING TO SHOW
HIM HOW IT'S DONE. AND I SAID, "THIS IS HOW YOU PUNCH!"
AND I HIT HIM THREE TIMES IN THE FACE AND ONCE IN THE CHEST,
BUT HE HARDLY REACTED AT ALL. >>WHAT?
DID YOU PUNCH HIM THE WAY I TAUGHT YOU TO? >>YEAH!
I MADE BIG SWINGING MOTIONS. MADE SURE TO HIT MY FOOT ON THE GROUND AT
THE SAME TIME. BUT HE DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL!
WELL THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE. HE DID PUNCH ME AGAIN.
>>ALL RIGHT, THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHO IS THIS KID'S FATHER?
I'M CALLING HIM RIGHT NOW. >>IT WAS JIMMY THOMAS.
IT WAS FRANK THOMAS' SON. >>OH I KNOW FRANK THOMAS.
BETTER STAND BACK SON. THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE PRETTY.
FRANK THOMAS. I HEARD WHAT YOUR SON DID TO MY BOY TODAY
AND I AM HOLDING PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE.
AND WHEN I FIND YOU I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU THE MEANING OF PAIN.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN A HOSPITAL BED FOR A YEAR
EATING ALL YOUR MEALS THROUGH A PLASTIC TUBE. WHOA!
BOOM! WHOA!
I HOPE THAT GOT THROUGH. [DOORBELL] >>HEY, MY DAD MADE ME RUN
OVER AS FAST AS I COULD AND APOLOGIZE FOR BEATING YOU UP.
I'M REALLY SORRY. >>IT'S OKAY SON, YOU JUST NEED A LEARN
TO BE MORE CAREFUL. IF YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT, YOU GOT TO DO
IT PROPERLY. OR SOMEONE MAY GET HURT.
>>HEY!
I CAN PROMISE YOU BROTHER, THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. JIMMY?
LET'S TAKE A RIDE.
