IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE, YOU'D BETTER BE PREPARED,
BECAUSE HE'S LOOKING TO TEAR YOUR ARMS OFF.

01;00;10;00
Gary Steffensmeier (synch):
IT TEACHES YOU TO BE A MAN.

01;00;12;28
Frank Halloran (VO):
THIS IS REAL WRESTLING; THERE ARE NO MASKS,
NO HOOPLA.

01;00;18;05
Kai Collins (VO):
FIGHTING WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHILE THEY'RE
FIGHTING AGAINST YOU, IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE HARDEST
THINGS AN ATHLETE CAN DO.

01;00;25;21
Joe Boone (synch):
GIRLS ARE VERY COMPETITIVE, JUST LIKE THE GUYS;
IN FACT, MAYBE MORE SO.

01;00;29;19
Joan Palmer (synch):
I THINK THE GIRLS THAT ARE DOING IT ARE PIONEERS.

01;00;32;21
Gary Steffensmeier (synch):
I KNOW COACHES THAT DON'T WANT GIRLS WRESTLING.

01;00;35;08
Archie Randall (synch):
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THAT'S DIFFERENT?
SHE'S GOING TO BEAT SOME LITTLE BOY
AND THE PARENTS ARE GOING TO GET UPSET?

01;00;39;11
Gary Steffensmeier (synch):
I KNOW PARENTS THAT DON'T WANT IT.

01;00;42;15
Trey Cooper (synch):
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT SOCCER AND BASKETBALL...
THEY CAN DO WHATEVER WE CAN.

01;00;49;10

IT'S COMING, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL EMBRACE IT.

01;01;07;29
Tara (VO):
I BROUGHT THIS PAPER HOME FOR WRESTLING.
ALL MY GUY FRIENDS WERE GOING TO BE IN IT,
AND SO I SAID, "HERE, MOM, I WANT TO DO THIS."
SHE SAID, "TRY AND GET YOUR DAD TO PAY FOR IT
"AND THEN I'LL LET YOU." AND SO HE BROUGHT ME
AND I STARTED IT AND I LIKED IT, SO I JUST KEPT ON GOING.

01;01;22;11
(Crowd noise)

01;01;24;12
Tara (VO):
I THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO BE
MORE GIRLS THAN THERE WAS.

(whistle blows)

01;01;27;26
Referee (synch):
MATTHEW LUPARD...JOHN De LA GARZA.

01;01;30;25
Tara (VO):
I SURPRISED ME THAT IT WAS ONLY ME AND ONE OTHER GIRL.
SHE STAYED WITH IT FOR ONE YEAR, BUT THEN SHE QUIT.

01;01;42;20
Tara (synch):
I LIKE TO SHOW GUYS THAT GIRLS CAN BE JUST AS STRONG AS THEM.

TARA, TELL THEM THAT GIRLS RULE! THROW UP
YOUR HAND, TELL THEM, GIRLS RULE!

01;02;12;22
Tara (synch):
GIRLS RULE!

01;02;13;24
Man (synch):
ALL RIGHT!

01;02;17;22
Tara (VO):
MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN DIVORCED SINCE 1990.
SOMETIMES I STAY THE NIGHT AT MY DAD'S HOUSE
AND HE TAKES ME TO THE TOURNAMENTS,
OR MOM WILL BRING ME TO THE TOURNAMENTS
AND HE'LL MEET US THERE, BUT HE'S ALWAYS
AT EVERY TOURNAMENT.

01;02;33;24
(Music Playing)

(Music Continues)

01;02;58;26
Tara (VO):
I CAN WRESTLE BOYS NOW IN TEXAS, BUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
THEY CAME OUT WITH A LAW THAT ONCE YOU'RE 14, OR IN HIGH SCHOOL,

01;03;06;11
Tara (VO):
GIRLS CANNOT WRESTLE BOYS ANYMORE.
SO IF THERE’S NO GIRLS YOUR WEIGHT,
YOU JUST SIT THERE AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
SO THIS IS MY LAST SEASON OF ACTUALLY GETTING MAT TIME
AND WRESTLING WITH BOYS.

01;03;23;07
Tara (synch):
THIS ONE I GOT AT THE REGIONALS THIS YEAR.
THIS ONE I GOT AT THE REGIONALS
MY FIRST YEAR IN COLORADO. AND THEN I…THIS SATURDAY,
I GOT THIS ONE AND... THIS ONE.
I THINK WE CAN PUT, LIKE, TWO MORE THERE,
AND TWO MORE THERE. THEN I THINK I'M GOING
TO PUT THEM HERE.

Lyrics:
ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH.
YEAH, YEAH.
ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH.
ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH.

01;04;00;15
Tara (VO):
THIS YEAR I HOPE TO DO BETTER BECAUSE I’VE GOTTEN A LOT MORE EXPERIENCE. I WENT TO NATIONALS MY FIRST YEAR.

01;04;08;06
Tara (synch):
AND I HOPE TO GO TO NATIONALS THIS YEAR.

01;04;10;05
(Crowd Chatter)

01;04;15;02
Bob Moore (synch):
THIS IS THE FIRST TRUE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP,
THE BEST KIDS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE ARE HERE.

01;04;21;10
James Neal / Tara’s dad (synch):
THANK YOU.
THERE YOU BE!
I'M GONNA KEEP TRACK OF YOU.

01;04;31;05
Tara (VO):
SOMETIMES THERE ARE OTHER GIRLS AT MY TOURNAMENTS. THEY’RE ALL GOING TO BE IN DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASSES AND DIFFERENT DIVISIONS.

01;04;41;04
Woman (synch):
TELL THEM WE'VE GOT A GIRL TO WEIGH IN.

01;04;43;04
Tara (VO):
FIRST THEY DIVIDE IT BY AGE AND THEN THEY DIVIDE
THE AGE GROUPS INTO WEIGHT CATEGORIES.
BECAUSE IT COULD BE LIKE A MATTER OF A POUND
AND GIRLS CAN'T WRESTLE EACH OTHER,

01;04;52;01
Tara (synch):
THEY'D HAVE TO WRESTLE GUYS.

01;04;57;26
Tara (VO):
THERE'S NO OTHER GIRLS THAT I CAN WRESTLE.
THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER GIRLS THAT ARE MY AGE OR WEIGHT
OR EXPERIENCE, SO I'M PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY ONE.

01;05;13;08
James Neal (synch):
WHAT'D YOU WEIGH?

01;05;14;09
Tara (synch):
115.

01;05;15;03
James Neal (synch):
115?
GOOD, YOU CAN GO EAT NOW.

(Whistle Blowing)

01;05;26;22
Wrestling Team (synch):
SCOTT’S!!!

01;05;37;03
Tara (VO):
I HEAR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. WHEN MY FRIENDS COME WITH ME, THEY SIT IN FRONT OF SOME PEOPLE AND THEY HEAR THEM TALKING BAD ABOUT ME.

01;05;46;11
Richard Grey, boy wrestler (synch):
I THINK THAT GIRLS SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WRESTLE AGAINST GUYS SO THAT WE DON’T FEEL OBLIGATED TO GO EASY ON THEM.

01;05;54;07
Tiffany Sikes (synch):
UM, I THINK IT'S FINE WHENEVER THEY'RE YOUNGER,
BUT WHENEVER THEY'RE OLDER, I THINK IT'S KIND OF WEIRD.

01;06;01;05
Teenage boy (synch):
I DON'T THINK WRESTLING'S A GIRL SPORT.

01;06;03;11
Announcer (OS):
BOYS RANCH!

01;06;04;15
(Cheering and yelling)

01;06;05;16
Tara (VO):
WHAT IF THEY WERE ME? WHAT IF THEY WERE THE ONES WRESTLING, DOING SOMETHING THAT THEY THOUGHT WAS FUN, AND SOMEBODY WAS TALKING BAD ABOUT THEM?

01;06;17;16
(Woman yells)

01;06;18;29
(Crowd Yelling)

01;06;20;01
Kai Collins (synch):
I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT MY 10, NOT EVEN A 10-YEAR-OLD,
BECAUSE EVEN AT 10 YEARS OLD, 9 YEARS OLD,
THE BOYS ARE SEXUALLY AWARE.

01;06;29;04
Tara (synch)
IF THEY WERE THINKING LIKE THAT, THEN I'D SEE SOMETHING MORE
WRONG WITH GUYS WRESTLING GUYS THAN GUYS WRESTLING GIRLS.

01;06;34;18
Joel Phillips, boy wrestler (synch):
OH, SATURDAY NIGHT RIDE. IT'S WHERE YOU LOCK THE LEGS
AND PULL UP ON THE HEAD, AND I GUESS YOU COULD SEE
WHERE THEY GET THE NAME FROM. THOSE ARE KIND OF EXPLICIT MOVES I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.

01;06;45;03
Roxan Coffman (synch):
I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WHEN I WAS A GIRL,
BECAUSE IT WASN'T OFFERED TO ME. BUT IF IT WAS OFFERED TO ME, I WOULD'VE DONE IT.

01;06;49;09
Cissy Kinaid (synch):
I DON'T EVEN THINK THEY SHOULD REALLY DO IT
WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG. I REALLY…I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IN IT.

01;06;53;28
Joel Phillips (synch):
OR THE HONEYMOONER, LIKE YOU'RE ON YOUR HONEYMOON,
WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR WIFE, I GUESS.

01;06;59;00
Archie Randall (synch):
IT'S A FEAR. IT'S A PERCEPTION OF SOMETHING MIGHT BE NAUGHTY.

01;07;03;23
Tara (synch):
THEY START THINKING THAT IT'S MORE THAN WRESTLING.

01;07;07;22
(Wistful Music Begins)

01;07;14;20
Tara (VO):
BRANDON SLAY WAS MY FAVORITE WRESTLER IN THE OLYMPICS. HE'S, LIKE, THE ONE THAT KEEPS ME GOING, WHENEVER HE WINS.

01;07;23;25
Tara (synch):
HEY.

01;07;24;10
Brandon (OS):
HI. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

01;07;25;18
Tara (synch):
THERE'S TWO OF THEM.

01;07;26;23
Brandon Slay (synch):
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

01;07;27;17
Tara (OS):
TARA.

01;07;28;02
Brandon (synch):
TARA, I'M BRANDON. NICE TO MEET YOU.

01;07;30;28
Brandon (OS):
HOW DO YOU SPELL YOUR NAME, T-A-R-A?

01;07;32;10
Tara (synch):
YEAH.

01;07;35;18
Brandon (synch):
THERE YOU GO.

01;07;36;00
Tara (OS):
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

01;07;36;26
Brandon (synch):
YEAH.

01;07;37;06
Tara (OS):
HAVE YOU EVER WRESTLED A GIRL?

01;07;38;08
Brandon (synch):
I HAVE. I HAVE.

01;07;39;17
Tara (OS):
DID YOU BEAT HER?

01;07;39;18
Brandon (synch):
I WRESTLED A GIRL WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD.
AND I WAS REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT IT, BECAUSE SHE'D WON THE FIRST TWO MATCHES OF THE TOURNAMENT, SO SHE WAS WRESTLING ME IN THE SEMIFINALS AND ALL MY BUDDIES WERE THERE ON THE SIDE OF THE MAT. I'M NOT A BIG BELIEVER IN GIRLS WRESTLING BOYS, I THINK IT'S OKAY WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG, LIKE, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I DON'T THINK GIRLS SHOULD WRESTLE GUYS IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WISH YOU WELL, TAKE CARE.

01;08;09;17
Tara (synch):
HE SAID HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN IT! HE'S, LIKE, "I DON'T BELIEVE
IN GIRLS WRESTLING GUYS." I'M, LIKE, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT TO A GIRL! OKAY, SO, I DON'T LOOK UP TO HIM AS MUCH AS I USED TO NOW.

01;08;28;00
(Powerful drums)

01;08;30;18
Tara (VO):
MY DAD- I THINK HE LIKES IT BECAUSE I'M HIS SON THAT HE NEVER HAD BECAUSE MY BROTHER ISN'T REALLY INTO SPORTS.

01;08;39;20
JAMES NEAL (OS):
GET THAT REVERSAL, YOU CAN GET HIM.

01;08;42;03
TARA (VO):
FIRST MATCH AT STATE I THOUGHT I HAD AN ADVANTAGE ON HIM, BECAUSE HE’D NEVER WRESTLED A GIRL.

01;08;47;03
Coach (synch):
HEY! FORGET ABOUT IT!

01;08;50;10
(Aggressive music begins)

01;08;52;12
(Whistle Blowing )

01;08;56;22
JAMES NEAL (OS):
GET GOING, GET GOING.

01;08;59;00
Tara (VO):
THE GOAL OF WRESTLING IS FOR ONE PERSON TO GET THE OTHER WRESTLER ON THEIR BACK FOR THREE COUNTS.

01;09;05;11
JAMES NEAL (OS):
YOU CAN GET HIM. YOU CAN GET HIM. PUSH BACK, PUSH BACK, PUSH BACK, THAT’S IT.

01;09;07;21
(whistle blowing)

01;09;08;25
TARA (VO):
THAT'S CALLED "PINNING.”
ONCE YOU PIN SOMEONE, THAT'S THE END OF THE MATCH. YOU'VE WON. IF YOU DON'T WIN BY PINNING, YOU CAN WIN BY POINTS.

01;09;18;25
(crowd cheering)

01;09;20;07
(Whistle Blowing)

01;09;24;10
TARA NEAL (VO):
BUT EACH MOVE IN WRESTLING IS WORTH A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF POINTS. YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PIN SOMEONE, BUT YOU CAN WIN BY POINTS AT THE END OF THREE ROUNDS.

(Music Continues)

01;09;35;28
(Crowd Cheering)

01;09;42;13
James (OS):
GET IN THERE. DRIVE! DRIVE!

01;09;47;17
(Whistle Blowing)

01;09;48;12
(Crowd Yelling)

01;09;58;11
James (OS):
GET ON HIM! GET ON HIM!
YOU GOT HIM! COME ON RUN IT! RUN IT! GET HIM DOWN!

01;10;01;08
(Buzzer sounds)

01;10;05;08
James (synch):
MAN, 20 MORE SECONDS, YOU'D HAVE HAD HIM, YOU DID GOOD.
HE COULDN'T GET YOU ON YOUR BACK, IT TOOK HIM A WHILE.
HE'S A BIG BOY, AND FOR NEVER BEING BEATEN... YOU KNOW,
I KNOW YOU HAD HIM WORRIED. HEY, MAN, YOU'RE UP HERE
WITH THE FOUR BEST FROM EACH AREA OF THE STATE AND YOU'RE HERE. THINK HOW MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T MAKE IT.

01;10;33;01
Bob Moore (VO):
LET'S FACE IT, THESE GIRLS DON'T HAVE THEIR OLDER SISTERS TO LOOK UP TO AND SAY THEY WRESTLED, AND NOT EVERYBODY'S AS TOUGH AS TARA IS, EITHER. THEY DO HAVE TO BE PRETTY TOUGH. YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT A BARBIE-DOLL KIND OF ACTIVITY.

01;10;48;18
(Light paced pop music begins)

01;10;49;24
Tara (synch):
GADZOOKS.

01;10;52;15
Danika (synch):
WE JUST WENT THERE.

01;10;53;21
Tara (synch):
I KNOW.

(Music Continues)

01;10;59;01
(Girls giggle)

01;11;01;26
Tara (VO):
AT FIRST, MY FRIENDS SAID THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT FOR ME TO WRESTLE. BUT NOW THEY THINK IT'S COOL THAT I'M IN WRESTLING.
I BRING THEM TO TOURNAMENTS TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE, AND THEN ONCE THEY SEE WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE, THEY SAY, "NO WAY!"

01;11;25;01
Tara:
RIGHT THERE.

01;11;25;22
Danika:
YEAH.

01;11;27;20
Tara (synch):
YOU CAN KINDA TELL IT'S NOT WITH WRESTLING...
YOU CAN TELL IT'S NOT WITH WRESTLING. THE GUYS AT TOURNAMENTS WON'T NOTICE, PROBABLY.

01;11;35;20
Danika:
YEAH, TARA.

01;11;36;20
Tara:
SHUT UP.
01;11;37;13
Danika:
SURE.

01;11;38;12
(Heavy beat and music begin)

01;11;48;15

01;11;49;19

01;12;02;06
Referee (synch):
SHAKE HANDS.

01;12;05;06
(Whistle Blows)

01;12;06;25
James Neal (OS):
THAT'S IT.

01;12;11;29
Ty Dennis, coach (OS):
THROW BACK, THROW BACK,
YOU'RE OKAY!

01;12;13;10
James Neal (OS):
WALK UP.

01;12;14;14
Ty Dennis (OS):
GET YOUR LEGS BACK.

01;12;17;00
Tara (VO):
ALL THE REFEREES, THEY TREAT ME OKAY, EXCEPT FOR ONE.
HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GIRLS WRESTLING. LAST SEASON AT
A DIFFERENT TOURNAMENT, HE SAID I WON AND HE RAISED MY ARM. THEY CALLED ME BACK IN AND SAID THAT HE'S A GUY AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO GET FIRST.

01;12;35;21
Ty Dennis (OS):
CHEST TO CHEST,
SCOOT BACK.
SCOOT BACK.

01;12;39;05
Tara (VO):
IF IT'S LIKE A TWO-POINT MOVE, THEY CAN GO THREE-POINT MOVE, UNTIL THEY CAN JUST PUT A POINT EXTRA EVERY TIME.
AND THAT CAN ADD UP TO A LOT.

01;12;48;14
Ty Dennis (OS):
TARA, YOU’RE TOO HIGH! BACK UP!

01;12;51;03
James (OS):
HE'S PINNED.

01;12;52;02
Ty Dennis, Coach (OS):
BACK UP,
CHEST TO CHEST.

01; 12;53;28
(Whistle Blowing)

01;12;54;20
Referee (OS):
TOO LATE.

01;13;01;20
Joel Phillips (VO):
YOU LOSE TO A GIRL, YOU WALK OUT OF THE GYM, YOU WALK OUT OF THE STADIUM, YOU DON'T COME BACK, EITHER.

01;13;06;21
Lance Schilling (synch):
I'D HANG UP MY SINGLET
AND STOP WRESTLING FOREVER.

01;13;09;20
Ty Dennis (OS)
GOOD JOB!

01;13;11;01
Man (OS):
NICE JOB! NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THAT!

01;13;14;15
Rich Kendall, Coach (OS):
LET'S GO!
WRESTLE!

01;13;19;22
Tara (VO):
THE WRESTLING TEAM I WRESTLE FOR IS ACTUALLY A CITY CLUB
BUT WE PRACTICE AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

01;13;29;20
Rich Kendall (synch):
NICE SHOT, THOUGH, TARA. LET'S GO, ELI, YOU CAN BE A SHOOTER.

01;13;34;21
Tara (VO):
YOU CAN WARM UP WHEN YOU'RE OUT ON THE MAT, BUT IT TAKES MORE TO THINK ABOUT IT. STRATEGY'S BETTER THAN STRENGTH.
YOU NEED THE STRENGTH, BUT STRATEGY'S WHAT YOU NEED
TO BE ABLE TO USE YOUR STRENGTH.

01;13;50;10
Rich Kendall (OS):
TIME!

01;13;59;23
Tara (synch):
A GUY ASKED ME OUT. HE LIVES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, TOO, AND MY MOM LIKES HIM.

01;14;03;13
(Pop Music Begins)

01;14;08;17
Tara (VO):
I TRY AND MAKE MYSELF ANGRY, SO I CAN GET AGGRESSIVE. BUT I ALWAYS WANT TO BE NICE, I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I CONTROL SOMETHING IN MYSELF.

01;14;29;24
James (synch):
YOU KEEP POPPING HIM IN THE NOSE, TARA.

01;14;32;02
Rich Kendall (synch):
IS HE BLEEDING FROM HIS NOSE, TOO, OR FROM THE TOP OF HIS HEAD?

01;14;36;04
James (synch):
YOU'RE OVER THERE DOING THIS, IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
YOU MAY HAVE RIPPED IT.

01;14;38;09
Tara (synch):
NO, I WASN'T!

01;14;39;08
Rich (synch):
YOU GIVING HIM THE BUSINESS UNDER THERE, POUNDING ON HIM?

01;14;45;09
James (synch):
HE'S GOT TWO BRUISES OVER THERE, TARA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
BREAKING HIS NOSE?

01;14;52;16
Tara (VO):
MY DAD, HE DOESN'T LET ME SLACK. IF I HAD A PARENT THAT WOULD JUST LET ME GO WHENEVER I WANTED;
I WOULDN'T BE AS GOOD AS I AM NOW. BUT SOMETIMES HE PUSHES ME A LITTLE TOO FAR.

01;15;06;02
(Music of anticipation )

01;15;19;16
Tara (synch):
DAD, AM I WEIGHING IN MY SINGLET OR THIS?

01;15;26;27
James (OS):
WEIGHT TOTAL IS 116.
IT'S FROM BEING A COACH POTATO. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE ALL YOUR EARRINGS OFF AND YOUR TOE RINGS.

01;15;37;25
Tara (VO):
I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO COME THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE I HAD A REALLY BAD WEEK. I THOUGHT I HAD TO COME BECAUSE I HAD TO PLACE TO GO TO STATE.

01;15;46;05
Official (synch):
WELL, I CAN JUST PUT HER IN-- I MEAN, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. WOULD YOU RATHER HER NOT WRESTLE UP?

01;15;50;27
James (synch):
YEAH, IF SHE WRESTLES UP, SHE'S GOING TO GET KILLED.

01;15;53;07
Tara (VO):
I DON'T THINK I'M EVER GOING TO BE STRONGER THAN ALL THE GUYS I WRESTLE, BECAUSE GUYS ALWAYS HAVE MORE UPPER-BODY STRENGTH. I'M TRYING TO GET MORE UPPER-BODY STRENGTH BUT IT'S HARD.

01;16;02;07
James (synch):
YEAH, SHE WAS GOING TO DO AN EXHIBITION
WITH THAT ONE GIRL WHO'S 108--
YEAH, BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING
TO WRESTLE HER EXHIBITION.

01;16;07;12
Official:
OKAY, SO, THAT'S GOOD THERE.
SO THEN WE'VE GOT--THAT'S GOOD, WE'LL PUT HER IN THERE.

01;16;16;23
James:
OKAY. SO THEN,
SHE GETS TO WRESTLE THAT GIRL NOW,
SHE'LL HAVE TO DO EXHIBITION.

01;16;19;28
James:
SO YOU GET TO WRESTLE IN GRECO. SO IN GRECO YOU GET TO WRESTLE THAT
GIRL'S WEIGHT CATEGORY.
SHE'S 108.

01;16;27;04
Tara (VO):
I'VE BEAT EVERY GIRL THAT I'VE WRESTLED.

01;16;30;14
Eddie Anderson (synch):
FROM MY COACHING PERSPECTIVE, AND AS A TRAINER,
WHEN YOU'RE WRESTLING THE BOYS, ESPECIALLY AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE TIME IN THEIR LIVES WHEN THEY'RE GETTING STRONGER, IS YOU'VE GOT TO GET STRONGER, TOO. BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THE SORT OF THINGS THAT NORMALLY YOU WOULDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING, TO MAKE YOUR STRENGTH COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE GUYS.

01;16;48;02
James (synch):
GO DOWN FURTHER, OKAY... TWO, THREE...

01;16;53;19
Tara:
( Scoffs ) DAD!

01;16;56;01
Official (OS):
YOU GUYS ALL KNOW ABOUT YOUR SCORING?
ONE POINT TAKE DOWN, TWO POINT, THREE POINT, FIVE POINT.
HAVE A GOOD ONE, GOOD LUCK.

01;17;08;10
Mexican Coach:
¡LUCHA!
¡SiGUE!

01;17;11;07
James (synch):
A LOT OF PEOPLE COME UP AND SAY, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET
YOUR DAUGHTER WRESTLE BOYS." I SAY, "HEY, SHE'S GOT THE DETERMINATION TO DO IT, "I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT."

NEXT UP, TARA NEAL, ANGEL PEREZ, NEXT UP!

01;18;15;09
James Neal (synch):
CHECK IN! CHECK IN!

01;18;17;13
James Neal (VO):
LAST YEAR, SHE WAS KICKING BUTT AND PINNING BOYS, LEFT AND RIGHT, AND, OF COURSE, NOW, SHE'S NOT WINNING.
SHE DISCOURAGES HERSELF. I KEPT TRYING TO TELL HER,
IF SHE GETS IN HER HEAD SHE'S GOING TO LOSE, SHE'LL LOSE.

01;18;29;28
( Whistle Blowing )

01;18;32;14
Tara (VO):
IT'S NOT REALLY THE LOSING, IT'S JUST MY DAD BEING ON MY BACK ALL THE TIME.

01;18;37;13
James (synch):
I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE.

01;18;40;14
Tara (VO):
IF HE WOULD GET OUT THERE AND TRY IT, AND JUST SEE WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE, THEN HE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ON ME SO HARD.

01;18;49;20
James (OS):

James :
AFTER ALL THE MATCHES ARE OVER,
YOU’VE GOT THE GIRL FROM MEXICO. I WANT YOU TO DO GOOD AGAINST HER.
PIN HER!

01;18;59;16
Tara (synch):
YEAH, I'M GOING TO BE REALLY AGGRESSIVE WITH HER,
CAUSE I’M SCARED ABOUT GIRLS.

01;19;05;01
James (synch):
WHY? YOU SHOULD BE SCARED OF THE BOYS INSTEAD OF THE GIRLS.

01;19;07;06
Tara (synch):
I'M NOT, I DON'T KNOW. IT'S LIKE, GUYS, THEY'RE SCARED OF THE GIRLS, AND NOT THE GUYS.

Tara (VO):
I CAME HERE TO WRESTLE AND I WASN'T DOING WELL, SO I DIDN'T WANT TO WRESTLE FREE-STYLE. MY DAD SAID IF I DIDN'T WRESTLE FREE-STYLE,
THEN I CAN'T GO WRESTLING ANYMORE.
IT'S NOT ALL WRESTLING, IT'S MY DAD, TOO.
AT THE BEGINNING, MY DAD WAS, HE WAS JUST GOING WITH IT.
AND NOW, HE'S ALL AROUND IT, "YOU HAVE TO DO IT."
AND HE SAID I EITHER DO IT TODAY OR I DON'T WRESTLE AT ALL.
I'M TIRED OF HIS EXPECTATIONS FOR ME, AND I FINALLY TOLD HIM
AND NOW HE'S REALLY MAD AT ME.

01;21;14;12
Tara (VO):
I STILL LIKE IT AND I STILL WANT TO DO IT,
I JUST WANT LESS PRESSURE TO BE PERFECT.
IF HE STOPS TAKING ME TO PRACTICE,
THEN, LIKE, I WON'T SEE HIM, LIKE, EVER,
BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY TIME I DO SEE HIM IS WHEN HE TAKES ME TO PRACTICE AND TOURNAMENTS.
I THINK WE'LL GROW FURTHER APART.

01;21;40;26
Margaret Bryant / Tara’s mom (synch):
MARGARET IS THE NAME.
YEAH, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO START COMING BACK TO THESE.
I DID THE FIRST YEAR, AND THE SECOND YEAR,
THEN BY THIS THIRD YEAR, I KINDA PLAYED OUT
AND LET HER DAD DO EVERYTHING. AND HE'S KIND OF FALLEN
BY THE WAYSIDE NOW AND--

01;21;55;22
Ty Dennis (OS):
I'VE BEEN WATCHING HER FOR MOST OF THE SEASON, SHE'S--

01;21;57;25
Margaret (synch):
YEAH, SO WE'VE GOT TO GET HER BACK TO PRACTICE,
GET HER BACK INTO THE GROOVE. GET HER TO A CAMP THIS SUMMER.

01;22;08;28
Tara (VO):
MY MOM, WHEN I'M FEELING DOWN, SHE ALWAYS GETS ME TO KEEP GOING AND SHE TELLS ME NOT TO QUIT BECAUSE ONE LITTLE THING HAPPENED.

01;22;20;21
Margaret (VO):
SHE THINKS HE'S A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN HER,
BUT HER DAD CARES, IN HIS OWN WAY.
01;22;28;28
Tara (VO):
I THINK HE'S GOING TO THINK ABOUT IT AND COOL DOWN A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE RECONSIDER WHAT HE SAID.

01;22;36;22
Tara (VO):
I'VE GOTTEN DOWN FROM 120 NOW.
I KNOW THAT MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT.
BUT I STILL KNOW THAT I WANT TO LOSE AT LEAST FIVE MORE POUNDS. I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP TRAINING AS HARD AS I CAN
TO GET DOWN TO 110 BEFORE THE NATIONALS.

01;23;17;02
Boy wrestler (synch):
WELL, NORMALLY, YOU CONSIDER SCALE FLUCTUATION?

01;23;19;08
Man (OS):
SCALE FLUCTUATION, WHAT IS THAT?

01;23;21;22
Archie Randall (VO):
EVERYBODY WRESTLES A CERTAIN WEIGHT.
YOU CAN'T WEIGH OVER THAT WEIGHT.
WHAT SOME COACHES HAVE DONE IS THEY TAKE THAT INDIVIDUAL
WHO'S ONE WEIGHT CLASS UP, PULL HIM DOWN
TO THE NEXT WEIGHT. HOPEFULLY, HE GETS TO THE NEXT TWO ROUNDS. THEN AFTER THE NEXT TWO ROUNDS,
IN ABOUT SIX HOURS, HE'S BACK TO BEING THAT SIZE AGAIN.

01;23;39;22
Man (OS):
YOU'RE POINT SIX OVER, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

01;23;42;15
Joel (synch):
BASICALLY, EVERYBODY DROPS WEIGHT.
SO IF YOU STAY AT YOUR SAME WEIGHT CLASS,
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN YOU,
SO YOU DROP DOWN JUST TO MEET THE DEMAND.
01;23;50;06
Archie Randall (synch):
YOU WEIGH 130, AND YOU WRESTLE 112.

01;23;54;00
Joel (synch):
YOU GOTTA LOSE FIVE POUNDS IN ONE NIGHT.
YOU HAVE TO DO IT. IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO
YOUR COACHES AND YOUR TEAMMATES AND YOU'RE NOT REALLY A GOOD WRESTLER, SO...

01;24;05;00
Margaret (VO):
THE GUYS ARE GETTING BULKIER AS THEY GO UP IN WEIGHT AND AGE, AND SHE'S GOING TO HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THEY'RE GETTING STRONGER.

01;26;03;09
Angela Dennis (synch):
WE LIVED IN GEORGETOWN. THEY DIDN'T HAVE WRESTLING THERE. THEN WE MOVED TO UTAH AND THEY HAD WRESTLING THERE AND I WRESTLED AND I LOVED IT. THE GUYS WERE LIKE: HURT HER, GET IT OVER WITH, WIN, GET DONE. THAT'S HOW IT WAS. "I'M JUST GOING TO GO IN I'M GOING TO HURT HER. "I'M GOING TO GET IT DONE, THAT'S IT." AND THEN I WOULD WIND UP WINNING.

01;26;22;22
Margaret (OS):
DYNAMITE COMES IN SMALL PACKAGES.

01;26;25;11
Angela (synch):
AND THEN THEY'D QUIT WRESTLING FOREVER, MOST OF THE TIME.

01;26;29;24
Margaret (OS):
TARA'S DONE THAT TO A COUPLE OF BOYS.

01;26;33;01
Angela (synch):
THEY WON'T LET YOU EVEN WRESTLE OR PRACTICE WITH THE GUYS?

01;26;36;28
Margaret (OS):
NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEY WON'T.

01;26;37;23
Angela (synch):
NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND I WAS, LIKE,
HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LEARN ANYTHING?
THERE AREN'T ANY GIRLS HERE THAT KNOW HOW TO WRESTLE,
AND SO HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LEARN IT RIGHT?
01;26;46;01
Margaret (OS):
AND WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING THAT FOR YEARS NOW.

01;26;50;01
Angela (synch):
AND I DON'T THINK IT'LL CHANGE IT, HERE.
YOU WANT TO WRESTLE GUYS, GO TO UTAH.
THEY HAVE TO LET YOU WRESTLE THEM THERE.

01;26;56;09
Margaret (OS):
WE CAN FIGHT IT. WE FOUGHT HER PLAYING FOOTBALL, SO...
THEY SAID, "WELL, WE REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU NOT TO, BUT..."
SO SHE PLAYED FOOTBALL WITH THE BOYS. WE'LL JUST FORGE OUR WAY WITH WRESTLING, TOO, IF SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE.

01;27;12;11
Angela (synch):
ARE YOU GOING TO BE AT PRACTICE ON TUESDAY?
BECAUSE I CAN COME WRESTLE WITH YOU.

01;27;42;19

I WANTED TO MOVE IN WITH MY DAD BECAUSE IT'D BE EASIER
ON OUR SCHEDULE FOR PRACTICE.

01;27;53;17

YOU SAID YOU'D TALK TO HER DURING THE WEEKEND.

01;27;55;12
James (synch):

01;28;02;28

OKAY.

01;28;03;03
James (synch):
AND THEN SHE COMPLAINED. THEN I WAS OUT THERE,
TRYING TO TALK TO HER, AND YOU COME
WALKING OUT THERE. SO I DIDN'T GET TO TALK, NO, I DIDN'T.

Tara (synch):
OKAY, SEE, NOW YOU ADMITTED IT, YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT ME MOVING IN WITH YOU.

WHEN SHE GETS MAD AT HER MOM, OR GETS IN TROUBLE
WITH HER MOM OR NEAL, THEN SHE COMES TO MY HOUSE.
HER STEPDAD PUNISHES HER. I SAY, "HEY, DON'T CALL ME.
"YOU'RE GOING TO STAY THERE AND PUT UP WITH THE PUNISHMENT." I MEAN, IF SHE'S GOING TO PAY TO WRESTLE AND BE THERE TO WRESTLE, SHE NEEDS TO WRESTLE. AND I TOLD HER IF SHE LEFT, I WASN'T GOING TO SPEND THE TIME
AND THE MONEY TAKING HER AND THEN HAVE HER BACK OUT
OF EVERY OTHER TOURNAMENT, BECAUSE IT'S A WASTE
OF HER TIME AND MY TIME TO JUST GO UP THERE,
WRESTLE TWO PEOPLE, AND THEN COME HOME BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT WINNING. SHE'S GOT TO REALIZE SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN EVERY TIME, WRESTLING THOSE BOYS. AND I'M STILL NOT HAPPY WITH HER FOR DOING THAT, BECAUSE IF I LET HER SLIDE ON IT, SHE'S GOING TO KEEP DOING IT. EVERY TIME THAT SHE STARTS LOSING, SHE'S GOING TO DO IT.

01;29;34;01

Tara (VO):
MY PARENTS GETTING DIVORCED, IT WAS HARD SPLITTING THE TIME BETWEEN THEM EQUALLY. MY DAD, I WANTED TO JUST
HAVE FUN WITH HIM, LIKE FATHER/DAUGHTER, INSTEAD OF EVERYTHING BEING ABOUT WRESTLING AND WORKING OUT.
I STAYED THE NIGHT WITH HIM ON FATHER'S DAY,
BUT THAT'S THE LAST TIME I'VE SEEN HIM. I FEEL BAD THAT I, LIKE, BROKE HIS EXPECTATIONS FOR ME,
BUT THEY'RE JUST TOO HIGH.

WE WENT OUT THERE AND SHE WAS JUST—THAT CONVULSIVE CRYING, YOU KNOW? BECAUSE SHE WAS SO UPSET WITH HERSELF.
AND I HATE SEEING HER LIKE THAT. I MEAN, SHE GETS LIKE THAT, I MEAN I START TEARING UP AND... SHE WAS JUST UPSET WITH HERSELF.

01;38;20;22
(Slow anticipatory music)

01;38;22;11
Tara (VO):
I GUESS IT JUST BECAME MORE IMPORTANT TO ME.
I THINK OVER TIME, IT'S GOING TO BECOME MORE IMPORTANT.

01;38;31;19
(Music continues)
Lyrics:
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
IN THIS PLACE...
STILL I'M LONELY.
AROUND THE CORNER,
CROWDED STREETS.

01;38;44;28
Tara (synch):
GOODBYE, MOM.

01;38;45;27
Margaret (synch):
BYE.

01;38;47;18
(Music plays)
Lyrics:
BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE...

01;38;58;15
Tara (VO):
I DID WELL ENOUGH BY POINTS THAT I QUALIFIED
FOR THE NATIONALS. THE OTHER KIDS WILL BE THINKING,
THAT I DEFINITELY CAN'T PLACE IN NATIONALS. BUT NATIONALS IS MORE THAN THAT. AND EVEN IF YOU LOSE, YOU STILL HAVE THE EXPERIENCE.

01;39;19;00
Joe Boone (synch):
THE BEST KIDS IN THE SPORT OF WRESTLING COMPETING FOR A NATIONAL TITLE, IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER.

01;39;26;29
Man (OS):
WHAT ARE YOU WRESTLING?

01;39;28;25
Tara (synch):
115.

01;39;30;23
Man (synch):
FOR WHAT?

01;39;32;03
Tara (synch):
SCHOOLBOY.

01;39;32;29
Man (synch):
HUH?

01;39;33;13
Tara (synch):
SCHOOLBOY.

01;39;34;01
Man (synch):
SCHOOLBOY.

01;39;36;18
Tara (synch):
OH, GOD. I HAVE TO LOSE--
( Gasps )
115!

01;39;44;07
Woman (synch):
YOU KNOW, JUST WALK AROUND OUT THERE. IT'S HOT ENOUGH,
YOU COULD SWEAT A LOT OF IT OFF.

01;39;49;04
Eric Bryant (synch):
YOU NEED TO LOSE FOUR POUNDS?

01;39;50;18
Charles Bryant (OS):
SHE'S BEEN EATING LITTLE MOZZARELLA STICKS.

01;39;51;19
Eric Bryant (synch):
I KNEW YOU ATE TOO MUCH MOZZARELLA.

01;39;53;18
Tara (synch):
I ONLY HAD TWO!

01;39;55;04
Blake Bryant (synch):
YOU'VE GOT TWO DAYS TO LOSE THAT FOUR POUNDS.

01;39;58;025
Tara (synch):
I KNOW BUT I'M NOT GONNA HAVE ANY SWEATS...

01;40;00;12
Tara (synch):
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 115, BUT I WAS 4 POUNDS OVER.
THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO RUN. I DON'T THINK I COULD LOSE THAT. THE LAST TIME I DID THAT, I GOT REALLY SICK.

01;40;05;15
(Upbeat Pop Style Music)

01;40;24;16
Tara (synch):
I HAVE TOMORROW.

01;40;27;19
Tara (synch):
I MISS EVERYBODY, I FEEL ALONE.

01;40;30;22
Tara (synch):
...AND IT'S LIKE 102. AND TOMORROW, IT'S SUPPOSED
TO GET UP TO, LIKE, 120.

01;40;36;22
Tara (VO):
MY MOM'S NOT HERE BECAUSE SHE TOOK THE FAMILY ON A VACATION, AND MY DAD'S NOT HERE BECAUSE HE COULDN'T AFFORD IT.

01;40;43;19
Tara (synch):
SO IT'S HOTTER HERE. I KIND OF WISH MY DAD WAS HERE BECAUSE I WAS SO USED TO HIM BEING AT ALL MY TOURNAMENTS.

01;40;55;21
( Whistle Blowing )

01;40;56;26
Tara (OS):
OKAY, I REALLY DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO MAKE IT. I THINK I SHOULD JUST STAY AT 120.

01;41;04;10
Tara (VO):
THEN I WEIGHED MYSELF TODAY AND I WAS THREE POUNDS OVER,
SO I JUST SAID, "WHATEVER I WEIGH TOMORROW MORNING IS WHAT I'LL WRESTLE."

01;41;11;03
Man (OS):
117.2

01;41;13;02
Tara (synch):
SO I'D RATHER BE WRESTLING HEALTHY THAN SICK.

01;41;17;23
( Explosions )

01;41;19;20
Girl sings (synch):
OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT
WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAIL--

01;41;36;08
Announcer (OS):
HERE WE GO, PEOPLE!

01;41;38;28
Sue Siar, official (synch):
WE HAVE 469 ENTRIES AND SIX OF THEM ARE FEMALE.

01;41;44;10
Megan (synch):
I SAW YOU OVER THERE...

01;41;47;06
Megan (synch):
I'M MEGAN AGAJANIAN AND I'M A GIRL WRESTLER, BASICALLY, OUR FAMILY IS A LITTLE WRESTLE MANIACS, SO WE JUST GO A LOT
OF PLACES AND WRESTLE. YOU NEVER REALLY SEE
A LOT OF GIRLS WRESTLING. WE--JUST THE POINT THAT THEY
STAND OUT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU GO UP TO THEM AND START TALKING AND...JUST FRIENDS.

01;42;13;04
Lynnette Domer (synch):
MY NAME IS LYNETTE. I'M FROM FRESNO, CALIFORNIA.
A LOT OF THE TIME, IT'S HARD TO FIND OTHER GIRLS TO WRESTLE.

01;42;22;03
Tara (synch):
SHE WON BY 1 POINT.

01;42;27;06
Amberle Montgomery (synch):
I'M AMBERLE MONTGOMERY AND I'VE BEEN WRESTLING ABOUT FIVE YEARS.

01;42;31;17
Tara (synch):
SHE WEARS EYE MAKEUP WHEN SHE WRESTLES.

01;42;37;12
Amberle (synch):
WHEN YOU GET OLDER, THEY GET STRONGER. BUT IF YOU KEEP STRONGER, YOU CAN TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THEM.

01;42;42;13
Lynette (synch):
OH, YEAH, THAT'S WHY HE GOT A BYE. THOSE TWO WILL PROBABLY WRESTLE.

01;42;46;27
Tara (VO):
AT MY FIRST NATIONAL TOURNAMENT, THE PARENTS OF SOME OF THE WRESTLERS WERE PETITIONING AGAINST TITLE IX.

01;42;53;21
Joe Boone (synch):
SOME OF THE TOP WRESTLING PEOPLE HAD BEEN, YOU KNOW,
PUSHING TO FIGHT TITLE IX FOR YEARS NOW.

01;43;00;19
J.D. Robbins (synch):
TITLE IX, BASICALLY, WAS A TITLE THAT WAS PASSED FOR EQUALIZATION FOR WOMEN TO HAVE THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AS MEN.

01;43;06;06
Joe Boone (synch):
A LOT OF PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN DROPPED IN THE COUNTRY
AND IT'S BEEN BECAUSE OF TITLE IX, AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, THAT'S THE REASON.

01;43;13;00
J. D. Robbins (synch):
BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T INCREASE THE WOMEN'S SPORTS,
THEY TOOK AWAY A LOT OF PROGRAMS, ABOUT 40% OF THE
COLLEGE PROGRAMS IN AMERICA BECAUSE OF THAT. SO THE WRESTLING PROGRAMS WERE CUT FROM ALL THE COLLEGES.

01;43;23;03
Ken Smith (synch):
I DON'T LIKE SEEING ANY COMPETITIVE SPORT LIKE THIS BEING CUT.

01;43;26;12
J.D. Robbins (synch):
BUT THE WAY IT HAPPENED WAS WRONG. AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HOSTILE TOWARDS IT, BECAUSE YOU'VE DELETED MEN'S SPORTS, AND WRESTLING, BEING ONE OF THOSE MEN'S SPORTS YOU DELETED.

01;43;34;21
Garth Page (synch):
SO IF THEY WERE ADDING MORE WOMEN'S WRESTLING PROGRAMS,
INSTEAD OF CUTTING THE ONES, THE MALE PROGRAMS, IT'D BE A MUCH BETTER SITUATION.

01;43;41;13
J.D. Robbins (synch):
NOW THAT THERE'S WOMEN'S WRESTLING, YOU CAN BALANCE OUT THE PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF THE WOMEN'S WRESTLING. SO I THINK WOMEN'S WRESTLING IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HELP MEN'S PROGRAMS OUT.

01;43;49;00
Dar Evans (synch):
I THINK IN THE NEXT FIVE OR SO YEARS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A WOMEN'S LEAGUE POP UP IN THE UNITED STATES.

01;43;54;10
J.D. Robbins (synch):
I THINK GIRLS' WRESTLING IS WHAT'S GOING TO SAVE COLLEGE WRESTLING.

01;44;00;12
Tara (synch):
I'D RATHER WRESTLE ALL DAY AND LOSE THAN WRESTLE LIKE TWICE AND WIN.

01;44;05;29
Announcer (OS):
SCHOOLBOY 120A, TARA NEAL, TEXAS.

01;44;09;20
Coach (synch):
USE YOUR LEGS, YOU GOTTA BE STRONG, GET YOUR LEGS BACK MORE. DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOOT YOURSELF. LIKE I TOLD YOU,
IF YOU SHOOT, YOU'LL GO THROUGH. IT'S LIKE A TACKLE, GRAB THOSE LEGS, KEEP RUNNING LIKE YOU'RE TACKLING THEM, OKAY?

01;44;23;02
( Whistle Blows )

01;44;24;20
Tara (VO):
THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH GIRLS RIGHT NOW, AND SO I WOULDN'T
GET ANY PRACTICE IF I STOPPED WRESTLING GUYS. AND IF I WRESTLE GUYS ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL,
AND I DO GET THROWN AROUND AND BEATEN EVERY TIME, IT'S STILL MAKING ME STRONGER, WRESTLING THE GUYS. AND THEN I WRESTLE GIRLS, AND I'M GOING TO BE READY FOR A HARD FIGHT.

01;44;54;18
Blake Bryant (synch):
WHEN YOU GET TO HIGH SCHOOL, THEY WON'T LET YOU WRESTLE THESE BOYS ANYMORE. OKAY? YOU TAKE THIS AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. BY YOU WRESTLING THESE BOYS, IT'S GOING TO MAKE YOU BETTER. SO WHEN THOSE GIRLS SHOW UP, YOU'RE GOING TO BE BETTER THAN THEM.

01;45;16;24
Lynette (OS):
HOW OLD ARE YOU?

01;45;17;18
Amberle Montgomery (synch):
13.

01;45;20;08
Megan (synch):
OKAY, AM I LIKE THE YOUNGEST PERSON HERE?

01;45;22;00
Tara
YES.

01;45;22;28
Megan (synch):
THAT'S NOT FAIR.

01;45;24;17
Lynette (OS):
OUT OF MATURITY, NO, BUT OUT OF REAL AGE AND BIRTH DATES, I THINK SO.

01;45;30;00
Tara (synch):
YEAH, YOU'RE PROBABLY MORE MATURE THAN ANY OF US HERE.

01;45;32;11
Amberle (synch):
I HAVEN'T EATEN ICE CREAM FOR LIKE HALF A YEAR. I HAVEN'T HAD LIKE POP OR ANY KIND OF JUNK FOOD IN FOREVER BUT--

01;45;42;16
( Laughter )

01;45;43;29
Tara (synch):
ISN'T THAT THE YUMMIEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

01;45;46;04
Lynette (OS):
WHAT IS IT?

01;45;47;07
Tara (synch):
SPRINKLES AND CHERRIES.

01;45;48;17
Lynette (synch):
SPRINKLES AND CHERRIES, YUMMY.

01;45;50;26
Tara (synch):
GO ON, TAKE A BITE.

01;45;52;29
(Girls Laugh)

01;45;55;23
Tara (synch):
OKAY, TAKE A SIP.

01;45;58;12
Megan (synch):
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH, THERE WAS ONLY, LIKE, THREE PEOPLE WATCHING. BUT THEN, LIKE, WE WENT INTO OVERTIME
AND THERE WERE, LIKE, 35 PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE MAT.

01;46;10;21
Tara (synch):
I FELL ON HIM AGAIN, AND IT TWISTED HIS ARM THE WRONG WAY
AND HE BROKE HIS ARM. I FELT REALLY BAD.

01;46;16;16
Amberle (VO):
HE SLAMMED ME IN THE MAT AND MY HANDS DIDN'T FALL FORWARD
AND I BROKE MY NOSE. AND THEN I CAME BACK AND WON.

01;46;23;26
Tara (synch):
WITH A BROKEN NOSE.

01;46;24;27
Amberle (synch):
YEAH, WITH A BROKEN NOSE.

01;46;26;27
Lynette (OS):
I LANDED ON MY HEAD, AND IT HURT SO BAD, I HAD HIM PINNED,
BUT THE REFEREE WOULDN'T CALL IT AND SO I JUST WON BY A COUPLE OF POINTS.

01;46;35;28
Tara (synch):
YEAH, IF YOU HAVE THEM, THEY TAKE FOREVER TO CALL IT. BUT IF THE GUY HAS THEM, THEY'LL JUST CALL IT IN LIKE--

01;46;41;10
Megan (synch):
ONE REF DID THAT TO ME. THE REF CALLED IT A PIN, AND I GOT SO MAD, I, LIKE, RAN. LIKE, I SHOOK EVERYBODY'S HAND AND I'M LIKE...

01;46;50;08
Amberle (synch):
AND THEN I GOT SCREWED A LITTLE BIT, LIKE ON POINTS, AND THEN I LOST, LIKE, 9 TO 7. I WAS SO UPSET. AND THEN THERE WAS, LIKE, THIS BIG COMMOTION, LIKE, IT WAS REALLY SAD.

01;47;03;21
Megan (synch):
SOMETIMES THEY CALL IT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A GIRL. IT'S . . . DUMB.

01;47;14;15
Tara (synch):
I WISH I WAS STILL HER WEIGHT BECAUSE ALL THE GUYS ARE STILL A LITTLE WIMPY. THEY HAVE NO MUSCLE AT THAT AGE.

01;47;20;24
Michael Hutchison (synch):
SHOULDER PRESSURE! SHOULDER PRESSURE! GO, HARD! ELBOWS IN! ELBOWS IN!

01;47;30;13
Michael Hutchison (synch):
SOMEBODY SAID TO ME, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET YOUR DAUGHTER GO OUT THERE "AND WRESTLE THOSE BOYS LIKE THAT."
AND I SAID, "WELL, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DRESS UP YOUR DAUGHTER, PUT A FLOWER ON HER, "SEND HER ON A ROMANTIC EVENING WITH A GUY, THAT'S UNCHAPERONED, AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT MY DAUGHTER IN FRONT OF A THOUSAND PEOPLE
WITH A BOY, AND YOU'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER IN A CAR, PARKED CAR, UP ON THE SIDE OF A HILL, ALL DRESSED UP AND READY TO GO?” WHAT DO YOU THINK'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH HER IN COMPARISON TO MINE? MINE MIGHT GET HER ARM BROKE BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. SHE PROBABLY WON'T END UP
PREGNANT, YOU KNOW, SO...

01;47;58;15
Megan (synch):
THIS IS COOL. MOM, LOOK AT HER SINGLET.

01;48;03;27
Tara (VO):
IF THEY MAKE ME STOP WRESTLING BOYS, THEN I'M NOT GOING
TO GET ANY COMPETITION BECAUSE THEY AREN'T ENOUGH GIRLS FROM TEXAS THAT ARE MY AGE AND WEIGHT.

01;48;13;04
Tara (synch):
IT'S LIKE AS SOON AS I TURN 14, AND IF EITHER YOU'RE 14
OR YOU'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL, YOU CAN'T WRESTLE BOYS ANYMORE.

01;48;20;03
Megan’s mom (synch):
OH, YOU'RE KIDDING. THAT'S A LAW NOW?

01;48;23;00
Megan (synch):
I GET BETTER BY WRESTLING THE BETTER GUYS AND, LIKE, GETTING
MY BUTT KICKED.

01;48;28;14
Amberle (synch):
THE GIRLS FROM THE UNITED STATES ARE WAY BETTER BECAUSE THEY WRESTLE GUYS, WHICH MAKE THEM TEN TIMES AS TOUGH.

01;48;34;21
Megan (synch):
SO IF I COULDN'T WRESTLE BOYS, I'D ONLY BE WRESTLING A FEW MATCHES A YEAR. INSTEAD, I WRESTLE PROBABLY 50 MATCHES.

01;48;45;11
Tara (VO):
I THINK THEY KNEW THAT GIRLS WOULDN'T HAVE ANY COMPETITION, SO THEY WOULD DROP OUT IN TEXAS.

01;48;54;19
Tara (synch):
NO, I JUST LIKE THE PINK; I DIDN'T CARE WHAT IT SAID. I SAID,
"I JUST LIKE THE PINK." I DIDN'T CARE WHAT IT SAID.

01;48;59;15
Megan (synch):
PINK?

01;49;00;09
Tara (synch):
PINK, I WANT A PINK SINGLET.

01;49;03;01
Megan (synch):
WHY?

01;49;03;25
Tara (synch):
BECAUSE PINK IS AWESOME. THAT MEANS I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR BUTT.

01;49;07;10
Megan (synch):
HOW DO YOU KNOW?

01;49;08;27
Tara (synch):
BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO JUST GIVE IT AWAY BECAUSE I CAN GET A LOT FOR IT.

01;49;15;17
Megan (synch):
I'LL GIVE YOU 20 BUCKS AND IF I DON'T BEAT YOU, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE IT TO ME.

01;49;23;11
(Tara Laughs)

01;49;24;18
Megan (synch):
IF I BEAT YOU, THEN I'LL GIVE YOU 20 BUCKS AND GIVE YOU THE SINGLET. BUT IF I DON'T, THEN I WON'T. I WON'T BUG YOU ANYMORE FOR THAT SINGLET.

01;49;35;03
Tara (synch):
OKAY.


01;49;35;26
(Up beat happy music)

01;49;37;12
(Whistle Blows)

01;49;44;04
Blake Bryant (synch):
THERE YOU GO! CIRCLE! CIRCLE!

01;49;49;20
(Crowd cheering)

01;49;49;27
Blake Bryant (OS):
KEEP COMING!

01;49;53;16
Crowd:
WIDE! WIDE!

01;49;55;27
Blake Bryant (OS):
PUMMEL IN! TECHNIQUE! TECHNIQUE! THERE YOU GO! THERE YOU GO! FINISH IT! FINISH IT! THERE YOU GO!
THERE YOU GO!

01;50;09;14
( Whistle Blows )

01;50;10;15
Blake Bryant (synch):
ATTA, BABY! YES!

01;50;13;05
(Applause )

01;50;15;23
Crowd:
IT’S ALRIGHT

01;50;20;13
Woman (OS):
COME ON, MEGAN.

01;50;25;04
(Applause )

01;50;29;03
Woman (OS):
YEAH, GIRLS!

01;50;33;25
Blake Bryant (synch):
HEY, GOOD JOB. THAT'S THE WAY TO GET IN THERE AND SHOOT.
AND THEN JUST COME AROUND THE CORNER AND GET YOUR HEAD OUT. THAT'S A GOOD JOB, REAL GOOD JOB. I TOLD YOU WRESTLING ALL THOSE BOYS WOULD PAY OFF, DIDN'T I? IT DID.
WHEN YOU GET TO THE GIRLS, LOOK WHAT YOU DO! GOOD JOB!
GOOD JOB!

01;50;52;19
Tara (synch):
IF I DO WRESTLE BOYS FOR THREE YEARS AND THEN WRESTLE A GIRL, IT'S A LOT EASIER.

01;50;57;13
Offscreen:
DO YOU THINK HE'S RIGHT?

01;50;58;07
Tara (synch):
DEFINITELY!

01;51;00;07
Tara (synch):
THAT WAS FUN.

01;51;04;08
Tara (synch):
I NEED YOUR ADDRESS.


01;51;00;02
( Dream like music begins )

01;51;16;14
Tara (VO):
I THINK, EVENTUALLY, THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE GIRLS
AND EVERYBODY'S GOING TO BE OKAY WITH IT. IT'S GOING TO BE A NORMAL THING. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WEIRD OR UNCOMMON.
EVENTUALLY, BUT THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE.

01;51;39;22
Margaret (synch):
ALLOW ME TO HUG YOU?

01;51;42;03
Tara (synch):
YOU'RE WEIRD. I MISSED YOU.

01;51;47;02
Tara (VO):
I LOVE WRESTLING, AND IF THEY SAY THAT I CAN'T WRESTLE BOYS,
THEN I CAN'T CONTINUE DOING WHAT I LOVE. I'M JUST STUCK AND IT DOESN'T SEEM REALLY FAIR TO ME.

01;51;47;03
(Music Playing )

01;52;06;25
Lyrics:
THERE'S A BOX
OF LIES I OPEN,
EVERY TIME I'M GOING UNDER.
A COMPROMISE
BOUGHT AND PAID FOR,
KEEPS ME FROM SURRENDER.
MAYBE THE TRUTH IS GETTING
HARDER TO IGNORE,
MAYBE I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE
IN SOMETHING MORE.
AND I THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE A GOOD DAY.
I THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE A GOOD DAY.
I THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE A GOOD DAY...
TODAY.
THERE'S A BOOK OF RULES
THEY GAVE ME
THE DAY I STARTED LIVING.
WELL, I'VE BROKEN EVERY ONE…
(Music fades)
