Laya DeLeon Hayes: Delilah

Quotes 

• Robyn McCall : Mel's doing a great job with you, but if I'm gonna train you, too, you're gonna have to shore up your fundamentals.

  Delilah : Okay.

  Robyn McCall : Stamina, patience, technique. All necessary to build a firm foundation. The best discipline for that is boxing, so I had Dante pull a favor and hook you up with someone.

  Delilah : Boxing coach?

  Robyn McCall : The best in the city. Trust me, when he's done with you, your form will be pristine.

  Delilah : I don't know, "fundamentals" sounds a lot like starting over.

• Jr Boxer : You saw that?

  Delilah : Hey, it's none of my business.

  Jr Boxer : Yeah, you're right. It's none of your business.

  Delilah : Sorry for snooping.

  Jr Boxer : It's not like it's a full-time hustle, all right? Every now and again I get paid to deliver these packages. It's cash.

  Delilah : Fast and easy. And I get it. I do.

  Jr Boxer : But?

  Delilah : It's just that, I mean... you seem like a pretty big deal around here. Everyone thinks you really have a chance to make it. It'd just be a shame to watch you jeopardize what looks like a really bright future.

  Jr Boxer : That's the thing... It might not be a future. Without the cash, I can't get the right training, the right gear, the right diet...

  Delilah : I understand you got to do what you got to do, but there is always another way.

  Jr Boxer : It's not that simple.

  Delilah : I know. But like someone told me this morning... when you take shortcuts, eventually you get cut short.

  Jr Boxer : Doesn't matter anyway. They won't let me stop if I wanted to. Look, just, just don't tell Manny, all right?

  Delilah : I won't. But maybe you should. He might be able to help.
