02x13 - Side Kicks

[bunniefuu]

(dramatic music)

(drum music)

(air whooshing)

- Whoa.

Hey, hello, excuse me.

I could have run over you.

- I felt you coming.

- What, you felt my presence in the wind or something?

- The ground.

It reverberated.

- What are you doing, Kung Fu?

- Karate.

(woman shouting)

- Who are you fighting?

- The true master has no need to fight.

- Yeah, whatever.

I always wanted to learn karate.

People think you're cool, so they don't mess with you.

Where'd you learn it?

- I teach it.

- Really.

Well, maybe I could come check out some of your classes.

- I don't think so.

Learning any martial art means accepting new risks,

both physical and mental.

And it's obvious you're not ready for that.

- I'm not afraid of taking risks.

That's what I've been doing for the last six years.

Man, if there is one thing that bugs me more

than being told I have to do something,

it's being told I can't.

(dramatic music)

- A pajama party.

- Excellent.

You must feel the relationship

between the mind and the technique.

Open your mind.

Do not concern yourself with appearances.

Think only of your breath.

May I help you?

- Yeah, I'm here to sign up.

- So you want to be cool?

- No.

- There's someone you want to fight?

- No.

Look, I have good instincts, I'm good with my hands.

I spent six years on the streets defending myself.

- [Student] Six!

(horn music)

- Okay, now?

(drums beating)

(rock music)

- First, you must learn to focus.

- Get used to the view.

You'll be seeing a lot of it.

(energetic rock music)

- Eat my dust, dude.

- You know, Griff.

There's people that can pull off a line like that.

And then there's you.

- Oh, hilarious.

- You know what?

Catch this air, buddy!

- That doesn't sound as stupid as "eat my dust?"

(rock music)

(metal crashing)

- Woo hoo, that was awesome, yeah!

Oh man!

- Hey, Brett, are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

I went too far up the hill.

Woo!

- Turn.

Extend foot and strike.

Turn, extend leg, and strike through.

- Hey, you get your black belt yet?

- It's called (speaking foreign language),

it's a karate move using your foot.

My sensei says I have to work on my mental focus.

- Your what says what?

- Sensei, my karate instructor.

- Look at that.

It says here karate teaches discipline-

- It also teaches you how to fight.

My sensei says being able to think on your feet

is a real asset.

- Seems sort of pointless to me, Caitlin.

You already know how to fight.

- Yeah, but you can never be too good at it.

- Hi!

- Nice.

- Man, I'm still carrying rocks from my fall.

You still have a rock collection?

- Yeah, I do.

- And you say karate's a waste of time.

- It's got a weird shape.

- Why don't you collect something with value,

like comic books?

- Or maybe baseball cards like you?

- Yeah, maybe baseball cards like me.

- Boys and their toys.

(engines roaring)

(tense music)

- Not bad, Taylor,

but keep your arms straight.

Look at Caitlin.

(students shouting)

- Nine, ten.

- Excellent, now 10 more.

- No way.

Okay, blah, blah, blah.

If it's sticky?

- [Officer] Hey, Griff, what are you looking at?

- Dad, look at this.

- No thanks, I've already eaten.

- Dad, it's sticky.

It passed the lick test for authenticating fossils.

Come here, take a look at this.

All right now, correct me if I'm wrong,

but is this the fossilized knuckle bone of a T-Rex?

- It is sticky.

In the badlands, really?

Really?

- What?

- Are you serious?

- What?

- Yeah.

Yeah, thanks Jessica.

- What is it?

- Dr. Klein authenticated a T-Rex skeleton

50 miles from here back in '94.

- Uh-huh.

- You'll never believe how much it sold for.

- How much?

- $8.5 million dollars?

- Yeah, all I have to do

is find the other 300 bones in the skeleton.

I'm pretty sure there'll be laying around

right where I picked up the knuckle bone.

- You picked it up?

I found the fossil.

You wouldn't even have seen it

if I hadn't kicked it up in the air.

- Brett was with you? - Yeah.

- Now I want it back.

- But you threw it away!

- You don't think I'm smart enough to know

what a real fossil looks like?

- Okay.

Okay, remind me who got an A in science

and who got a C minus?

- I think Brett's got the first claim to it.

- But Griffin's the one who found out

it was a T-Rex knuckle bone.

- Can I also point out

that the fossil was found on our ranch?

- By Brett.

- Look, why don't you two just share it?

- Why should they?

It's obvious that Griffin should hand over

all rights to Brett.

- No, it's not obvious.

- Well, it's obvious to anyone with a logical mind.

- Okay, everyone.

Today, we're going to be doing

something you've all been waiting for.

Sparring.

Now, remember.

This is not as much about winning

as it is about respecting yourself and your partner.

First up Caitlin and Page.

Bow to me.

To each other.

Fighting stance.

(sensei speaking foreign language)

(intense music)

(Page shouting)

Break, point.

(sensei speaking foreign language)

(Caitlin shouts)

Break, point, (speaking foreign language).

Point, match Caitlin.

Next, Taylor, Diana.

(sensei speaking foreign language)

(intense music)

(Diana shouting) (Taylor shouting)

Break, point.

(sensei speaking foreign language)

(Diana shouting)

Break, point, (speaking foreign language).

(Taylor shouting)

Point, match Taylor.

Okay, take a break everyone.

You'll all be fighting someone later.

- Hope it's you.

- Bring it on.

- Hey, Joe.

I got the T-shirts I was telling you about.

- King Karnivore, very snazzy.

- I was thinking we can hang them in the window.

I can give you cut of anything we sold here.

- It'd have to be 50%.

- Own stone to touch the T-Rex, 65 billion years of history.

Huh, huh?

All right.

Well, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

- [Man] Hey, how much?

- Oh, $3.50.

- [Man] No thanks, I'll pass.

- T-Rex rocks?

- King Karnivore T-shirts?

I have the rights to the T-Rex.

- No you don't, I found the fossil!

- But you threw it away!

- I did not, you grabbed it from me!

- I thought you two were friends.

- I thought so, too.

Real friends don't try and cheat each other.

- I'm not the cheater, you are!

- Why not partner up, split the profits?

- I'd consider a partnership.

- Okay.

- All right, we pool the merchandising.

I'll give you 10% of the earnings.

- 10%?

That's all my friendship is worth you?

Oh, grow up.

(intense music)

- Point, match Kurt.

That's it, everyone's fought at least once.

Next round, Caitlin, Taylor.

- Oh yeah.

- Bow to me.

To each other.

Fighting stance.

(sensei speaking foreign language)

(tense drum music)

(Caitlin shouting)

Break, point, (speaking foreign language).

(Taylor shouting)

Break, point!

(Taylor shouting)

Point, match Taylor.

- Told you not to come into my territory.

- Now you're in my territory.

- Once a street kid, always a street kid.

Why don't you go back to the hole you came from?

(girls grunting)

(sensei speaking foreign language)

- Street fighting is not allowed in this dojo.

You obviously have no respect for each other or for me.

Please leave, now!

- Sensei, we have to talk.

- Yes?

- You can't kick me out of the class.

I really like karate and I'm good at it.

I'm sure I could get my black belt no time.

- Caitlin, the point of karate is to develop as a person.

And that takes time and the right attitude.

- Look, just give me another chance.

I'll work on the mental stuff, I promise!

- Very well.

You and Taylor can both come back.

You'll just have to come back to me together and apologize.

- That's not fair.

She doesn't deserve to be in this class.

Taylor is just some shallow chick

who's looking for an aerobic workout.

- Who's being shallow now?

(bell ringing)

- Hey.

- What do you want?

- I want to get back into karate.

- What's stopping you?

- You know what's stopping me.

- Sensei says the only way she'll let me back into the class

is if we go in together with better attitudes.

- I know.

- So change your attitude.

- You change your attitude.

- Why do you have to be so difficult?

- Why shouldn't I be?

- From the first day I came here,

you've done nothing but try and make my life miserable.

- You know what?

The more I think about it,

the more I realize that I would want to be in any club

that would have you as a member.

(jazzy music)

- What's the matter with you?

(Griffin groaning)

- Nothing.

- You and Brett still not speaking to each other?

- What are you thinking?

- About an evil twig of a human being.

You know, I finally find something

that I like and I'm good at,

and then Taylor comes along and ruins it for me.

It's not fair.

- I don't think this is about fair.

- Well, what's it about, then?

- Well, I think it's about discipline and mental control.

- But I'm disciplined.

I practiced like crazy.

- Well, maybe that's not enough.

If you let your stubbornness

and your strong will overrule your mind,

you're always gonna be frustrated.

- Stubborn, me?

What about Taylor?

- Both of you are stubborn, and confrontational,

and you both always have to be right.

In fact, I think the real reason

the two of you dislike each other so much

is because you're so similar.

- Are you having some kind

of allergic reaction to something?

(light music)

- [Phone] Hey, you got Brett the Rex.

Leave a message at the tone.

- Griff, I got news from Dr. Klein.

- Yeah, really?

- Yeah, she called and sent this over by courier.

She did a series of tests, the last one being CAT scan.

That's an x-ray to show what's inside the rock.

- Oh, what'd she find?

- You don't seem as excited about this

as I thought you'd be.

- Brett's not talking to me.

I cut him out of the deal.

I feel awful.

He really did find the fossil.

- Yeah, I did.

But you were the one who figured out what it was.

- Well, let's see what we got.

- You know what, that really looks like-

- A dump truck.

- Congratulations, guys.

You're the proud owners of a fossilized digging toy.

- You're kidding. - Oh man.

- Jessica dates the toy to around 1989.

About the time we poured the cement for your mom's clinic.

- I must've dropped it in the wet cement.

- And it got washed away in a storm.

- T-Rex rocks.

- King Karnivore T-shirts.

So what were you gonna do with $8 million?

- I was gonna buy a hockey team.

- Dude, you can't even buy a hockey player

with $8 million.

- [Griffin] Oh, what were you gonna do with yours?

More baseball cards?

- [Brett] Yeah, and the plastic protective casing.

(Griffin groaning)

(girls laughing)

- Beat it.

- She's so aggressive. - You know I can't stand her.

- Sensei left a message.

She said that if we meet her at the dojo at four today

and we bowed to her and show her

that our attitudes have changed, she'd let us back in.

- I thought you weren't into doing me any favors.

- Look, all we have to do is go through the motions.

After that, we never have to talk to each other again.

- Never?

- Never.

- Deal.

(playful music)

Are you sure she said four o'clock?

- Positive.

- Because it's 10 after four.

- I can tell time.

- I'm just saying.

- What are you doing?

- A roundhouse kick?

- You wouldn't know a roundhouse kick

from a roundhouse steak.

- And you can do better?

- You have to point your toes out more.

- I knew that

- Nice.

If you're trying out for the Rockettes.

You have to push your hips forward with standing leg.

Here, kick at this.

It'll help you focus.

Nice.

- You know, I noticed in class

that your reverse punches are a little weak.

Why don't you try them?

Not bad.

For a ballerina.

- You really improved, tough girl.

Remember.

Always keep eye contact with your opponent at all times.

- Don't forget.

Think only of your goal.

You know, I don't think we're about to become

best friends or anything,

but maybe when we fight in class,

we don't have to really fight in class.

- That's cool.

(intense drum music)

(Taylor shouting)

(Caitlin shouting)

(girls groaning)

- Hey.

You know, you still might be able to sell

the movie rights to this story.

You could call it "Jurassic Parking Lot."

I know, hilarious.

I'm gonna go put some music on the jukebox.

Is there anything you guys want to hear?

A golden oldie, perhaps?

- Watch it!

(flute music)

- [Caitlin] Sensei told me that in karate,

the learning never stops,

and the success comes from within.

I'm not sure if I totally understand that,

but if I can learn to respect Taylor,

anything's possible.
