Adult Chris: [v.o.] While my father was getting hit on, I was about to get my first punch in.
Thurman: Most guys, they want to learn how to box so they can punch, understand? Uppercut, jab, hook. Right? But punching is only the second most important thing in boxing.
Chris: What's the first thing?
Thurman: Not getting hit. Muhammad Ali said it best: gotta "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see." All right, pop.
Chris: Ow!
Thurman: That hurt, right?
Chris: Yeah, that's why I said, "Ow."
Thurman: Okay, so at that moment, what would you rather be doing, punching or not getting hit?
Chris: Not getting hit.
Thurman: Okay. Good. Take a swing at me. Give it everything you got. That's good. Okay, now, keep it coming. Keep 'em coming. Whoa! Nice! See, the best offense is a strong defense. Okay? Because defense is the art of preparing for any eventuality. Because when you get hit, eventually, you're going down. Right? But when they show up, what do they do if you're not there?
Adult Chris: [v.o.] We could ask Osama Bin Laden.
