Taking Time Off for a Match
Louden:
I was at the hotel. They told me you took the night off. I thought you were sick or something.
Elmo: [chuckles]
Of course I took the night off, dummy. Isn't this the night you wrestle Shute?
Louden:
You took the night off for that?
Elmo:
Yeah. Shaved and got a haircut and everything.
Louden:
You never took a night off to see me wrestle before. They're gonna dock you for that.
Elmo:
Hey, kid - money ain't everything.
Louden:
Yeah, it's not that big a deal, Elmo. I mean, it's six lousy minutes on the mat, if that.
Elmo: [[Pelé]
You ever hear of ]?
Louden:
Yeah, he's a, a soccer player.
Elmo: [pause; pause]
A very famous soccer player. I was in the room here one day... watchin the Mexican channel on TV. I don't know nothin about Pelé. I'm watchin what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps in the air and flips into a somersault and uh, he kicks the ball in - upside down and backwards... I mean the goddamn goalie never knew what the fuck hit him. Pelé gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around over his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'm here, sitting alone in my room, and I start crying. Yeah, that's right, I start crying. Because another human being, a species which I happen to belong to, could kick a ball, and lift himself, and the rest of us sad-assed human beings, up to a better place to be, if only for a minute... Let me tell ya, kid - it was pretty goddamned glorious. It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.
