[screaming]

[groans]

[weakly] How is this
helping you?

Technically, you're probably
supposed to try and fight back.

Don't get me wrong, I love
everything that's happening here

but why are you doing this?

Because I don't have
anyone else to fight,

so this is like some kind
of never-ending nightmare.

I thought that was the point
of you joining

the wrestling team at school.
Or is it MMA?

That was the whole point,
but no one will wrestle me.

And they won't let me do MMA
because I'm too amazing at it.

Not to mention
the coaches and the refs

always call off the matches
just when they're getting good.

I guess the real question is

why do you always want
to fight everyone?

Can we talk about these outfits?
They are ridiculous!

-[grunts]
-[screams]

-Right.
-[slamming]

'Cause of your out-of-control
anger issues.

[whimpers, screams]

[crashing]

Okay, maybe I knocked Leo
through a wall.

I mean, it's not my fault
they can't build a decent wall.

Like, that's gotta be some sort
of code violation or something.

-[blabbering]
-It's not fair, okay?

The one thing I'm good at
and no one wants me to do it?

[grunts, huffs]

No one's saying you can't fight.

I mean, the police maybe.

And Dad. And general society.

[tsking]

Fisticuffs again, I assume.

Ugh. Shouldn't you be in a park
eating crackers or something?

Oh sweet, simple Raphael.

Uh, Pete,
maybe now's not the best time.

Let me remind you
what Shakespeare wrote

about misplaced anger
in the face of...

Ugh, you learned to talk
like a week ago

and you walk around acting
like you're so smart.

I can't help it
if I'm well-read.

Perhaps if you read more
as well,

you would learn of the
double-edged sword of violence...

And that's a very normal

Nothing remotely disturbing
about that.

What, uh, do your parents think
about your love of fighting?

My dad taught me to fight.

He gave me weapons
when I was like two.

Really?! Uh, I mean, yeah, yeah!

Sometimes it's good to fight,
you know? Like wrestling.

I mean, the ancient Greeks
did it.

Yeah, and no one told those guys
fighting is bad

or they had
an uncontrollable rage problem.

It's also good exercise.

I had to fight every day

were acting a little weird?

-No.
-Not really.

for Bebop to come back.
