00:00:00.470 --> 00:00:03.204
(man in crowd)
Keep it down. Keep it down!

00:00:03.204 --> 00:00:05.490
(Jack)
Every week, Tyler gave the rules that

00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:06.730
he and I decided.

00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:07.749
(Tyler)
Gentlemen...

00:00:08.569 --> 00:00:10.839
Welcome to fight club.

00:00:13.458 --> 00:00:15.504
The first rule of fight club is...

00:00:15.504 --> 00:00:18.113
You do not talk about fight club.

00:00:18.113 --> 00:00:20.718
The second rule of fight club is...

00:00:20.728 --> 00:00:24.753
You do not talk about fight club!


00:00:24.753 --> 00:00:26.321
Third rule of fight club:

00:00:26.321 --> 00:00:31.224
Someone yells "Stop", goes limp, taps out,
the fight is over.

00:00:31.224 --> 00:00:35.240
Fourth rule:
Only two guys to a fight.

00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.091
Fifth rule:
one fight at a time, fellas.

00:00:38.091 --> 00:00:39.292
[laughing]

00:00:39.292 --> 00:00:42.232
Sixth rule:
No shirts, no shoes.

00:00:42.232 --> 00:00:46.272
Seventh rule: 
Fights will go on as long as they have to.

00:00:48.406 --> 00:00:51.401
And, the eighth, and final rule:

00:00:51.401 --> 00:00:56.055
If this is your first night at fight club,
you have to fight.

00:00:56.055 --> 00:01:00.675
[yelling]

00:01:01.395 --> 00:01:02.262
(Jack)
This kid from work, Ricky,

00:01:03.129 --> 00:01:03.996
couldn't remember whether

00:01:03.996 --> 00:01:06.516
you ordered 
pens with blue ink or black

00:01:07.736 --> 00:01:08.738
(crowd)
Come on, man!

00:01:08.738 --> 00:01:09.798
but Ricky was a god 
for ten minutes


00:01:09.798 --> 00:01:11.540
when he trounced 
the maitre d' of a local

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:13.574
food court.
[punch]

00:01:16.444 --> 00:01:17.574
Sometimes all you could hear

00:01:17.574 --> 00:01:20.153
were the flat, hard packing sounds 
over the yelling

00:01:20.153 --> 00:01:22.093
[loud punch, yelling]

00:01:24.904 --> 00:01:28.081
or the wet choke when someone caught their
breath and sprayed.

00:01:28.081 --> 00:01:29.121
(man fighting)
Stop!

00:01:29.821 --> 00:01:32.649
You weren't alive anywhere 
like you were there.

00:01:32.649 --> 00:01:33.649
But fight club only exists

00:01:33.649 --> 00:01:34.967
in the 
hours between when

00:01:34.967 --> 00:01:37.587
fight club starts and 
when fight club ends.

00:01:38.448 --> 00:01:40.478
Even if I could tell someone 
they had a good fight...

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:40.478 --> 00:01:42.290
I wouldn't be talking to the
same man.

00:01:43.270 --> 00:01:44.819
Who you were in fight club 


00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:45.819
is not who you were 


00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:47.494
in the rest of the world.

00:01:47.934 --> 00:01:50.029
A guy came to fight club for the 
first time

00:01:50.029 --> 00:01:51.269
his ass was a 
wad of cookie dough.

00:01:51.269 --> 00:01:53.301
After a few weeks,

00:01:53.301 --> 00:01:55.031
he was carved out of wood.

00:01:56.056 --> 00:01:57.056
If you could fight any celebrity, 


00:01:57.056 --> 00:01:58.601
who would you fight?

00:01:59.131 --> 00:01:59.817
(Tyler)
Alive or dead?

00:01:59.817 --> 00:02:01.947
(Jack)
Doesn't matter, who'd be tough?

00:02:02.891 --> 00:02:03.828
(Tyler)
Hemingway.

00:02:04.738 --> 00:02:05.558
You?

00:02:06.955 --> 00:02:08.135
(Jack)
Shatner.

00:02:08.462 --> 00:02:10.522
I'd fight William Shatner.
