Maggie Fitzgerald

I'm 32, Mr. Dunn, and I'm here celebrating the fact that I spent another year scraping dishes and waitressing which is what I've been doing since 13, and according to you I'll be 37 before I can even throw a decent punch, which I have to admit, after working on this speed bag for a month may be the God's simple truth. Other truth is, my brother's in prison, my sister cheats on welfare by pretending one of her babies is still alive, my daddy's dead, and my momma weighs 312lbs. If I was thinking straight I'd go back home, find a used trailer, buy a deep fryer and some oreos. Problem is, this the only thing I ever felt good doing. If I'm too old for this then I got nothing. That enough truth to suit you?

Maggie Fitzgerald

Mama, you take Mardell and J.D. and get home. 'Fore I tell that lawyer there that you're so worried about your welfare you never signed those house papers like you're supposed to. So anytime I feel like it, I can sell that house from under your fat, lazy, hillbilly asses. And if you ever come back that's exactly what I'll do.

Maggie Fitzgerald

I had what I wanted.. I had it all ..

(retreating to her corner after trading punches with her opponent. Sadly, the amount she received was more than that of which she threw)

Maggie Fitzgerald
(Argues)

I ain't doing great, I'm losing!!!

Good. Good.

How many eyes do you need to finish this fight?

Maggie
(with a black eye)

One's enough.

Maggie
(getting pushed into the stool on her corner. Her opponent had just scored at least two direct punches that popped her head back)

She's tough, I can't go inside, I can't get close enough to hit her.

You know why that is?

Maggie

Why?

Cause she's a better fighter than you are, that's why. She's younger, she's stronger, and she's more experienced. Now, what are you gonna do about it?
[Next round starts. Maggie knocks her out in few seconds]
