18. Matilda.Copy !req
19. That's right.Copy !req
20. A kangaroo.Copy !req
21. You know,Copy !req

23. then I'd have to say,Copy !req
24. he gave Matlida the most
extraordinary talent.Copy !req

fighter that ever lived.Copy !req
26. People think that
ex-fighters like meCopy !req
27. end up owning pubs like this.Copy !req

calming anybody down.Copy !req
42. I didn't know what to do.Copy !req
43. I was desperate.Copy !req

Cyclone Roberts.Copy !req
499. What a woman can get
a man to do.Copy !req
500. - The last one to get

503. You didn't tell me Matilda
would have to fight him.Copy !req
504. - Relax, kid, everything's
gonna be all right.Copy !req
505. - But he's all I've got.Copy !req
506. - All right, shake hands!Copy !req
507. - I don't want to let

508. I'm sorry, I didn't know.Copy !req
509. - Whoa!Copy !req
510. - Two!Copy !req
511. Three!Copy !req
512. Four!Copy !req
513. - Nobody
in the boxing world knewCopy !req
514. that a big underworld
boss called Uncle NonoCopy !req
515. owned the champ, Lee Dockerty.Copy !req
516. He didn't like what
had happened.Copy !req
517. - "Don't kiss me again!Copy !req
518. "Your corespondent
witnessed an example of thisCopy !req
519. "when dropping Lee
Dockerty for the count.Copy !req
520. "Matilda, deposited a moist kissCopy !req
521. "full on Lee's mouth.Copy !req
522. "His trainerCopy !req
523. "refers to it as the
kiss of deathCopy !req
524. "and prepares to...Copy !req

up the remainsCopy !req
526. "with its recipient.Copy !req
527. "Matilda of Australia,
new Heavyweight Champion,Copy !req
528. "knocked out title
holder Lee DockertyCopy !req
529. "in 37 seconds of the

530. Then after statingCopy !req
531. that Dockerty's manager
was not present,Copy !req
532. Parkhurst hails the new championCopy !req
533. a boxer, a fighterCopy !req
534. a kangaroo!Copy !req
535. Ayuadame.Copy !req
536. Ayuadame, help me, help me.Copy !req
537. This does not make
Nono very happy.Copy !req
538. - Listen, boss.Copy !req
539. - Why did you let Dockerty
out of your sight?Copy !req
540. That's what you're
being paid for.Copy !req
541. To see that Parkhurst does
not get another chanceCopy !req
542. to write this kind of junk!Copy !req
543. - Senor Macante.Copy !req
544. - Boss,Copy !req
545. please, please, believe me.Copy !req
546. I didn't know that he
was desperate for a girl.Copy !req
547. - And you!Copy !req
548. Where were you?Copy !req
549. - Hey, I figured Pinky knew.Copy !req
550. He works in the same
office with Bernie.Copy !req
551. - I work for the same office?Copy !req
552. That idiot is my brother-in-law,Copy !req
553. otherwise I would've
thrown him out years ago!Copy !req
554. You see, he was an orphan.Copy !req
555. He never had a shot in
life and I was gonna give—Copy !req
556. Dockerty gets flattened.Copy !req
557. Macante thought this!Copy !req
558. Your sister's brother
is an orphanCopy !req
559. and he never got his shot!Copy !req
560. Why is this?Copy !req
561. Imbeciles!Copy !req
562. I'll tell you,Copy !req
563. the next time this kind
of thing happens again,Copy !req
564. all of your kids are gonna be
orphans, is that understood?Copy !req
565. - Well, you're my lawyer,
do something!Copy !req
566. What're you doing?Copy !req
567. - I'm throwing your junk
out of my office!Copy !req
568. You, Bernie Bonnelli,
are a Judas!Copy !req
569. - Marty, stay right
there, I'll call you back.Copy !req
570. Would you mind explaining
the meaning of this?Copy !req
571. - The meaning is simple.Copy !req
572. I'm gonna kill you.Copy !req
573. - Wait, the boss don't
want no one hit.Copy !req
574. - Shut up, you nitwit!Copy !req
575. - Listen, don't scare
me with your numbers.Copy !req
576. Bernie don't scare!Copy !req
577. This is ridiculous, you
can't put this stuffCopy !req
578. out here in the hallway
and just leave it!Copy !req
579. - We're not!Copy !req
580. We're gonna burn it with
you on the top!Copy !req
581. - Be nice or I won't give
you a rematch.Copy !req
582. - What do you mean, rematch?Copy !req
583. There was never a match.Copy !req
584. It was only some dopey
publicity stunt you dreamed up!Copy !req
585. - Yeah!Copy !req
586. - Be careful, Bernie!Copy !req
587. You are getting the
wrong peoples mad.Copy !req
588. - What's Parkhurst
wanna see me about?Copy !req
589. - I don't know but when
Parkhurst wants to see you,Copy !req
590. you go, not later, not
tomorrow but now.Copy !req
591. - If it's important, it's
gotta be something good, right?Copy !req
592. - Hello, Betty.Copy !req
593. This is Bernie Bonnelli.Copy !req
594. Mr. Parkhurst wants to see him.Copy !req
595. - He's waiting, please go in.Copy !req
596. Gordon, Mr. Parkhurst wants
to see him in private.Copy !req
597. - Sit down.Copy !req
598. - I'm Bernie Bonnelli.Copy !req
599. Matilda's manager.Copy !req
600. - Yeah, I know who you are,
that's why you're here.Copy !req
601. - Okay, what do you want?Copy !req
602. - Do you know who owns Dockerty?Copy !req
603. - Pinky Schwab and a
couple other guys.Copy !req
604. - Pink Schwab is just one
step below of being a moron.Copy !req
605. Uncle Nono owns Dockerty, kid.Copy !req
606. He's the biggest gangster
in the United StatesCopy !req
607. and I'm going to put him
put of boxing for good.Copy !req
608. - What's that gotta do with me?Copy !req
609. - You and Billy Baker
have a good thing goingCopy !req
610. with Matilda right now but so
far it's just a circus act.Copy !req
611. But I'm going to make it better.Copy !req
612. You do what I tell you,Copy !req
613. you'll make money and I'll
get Uncle Nono.Copy !req
614. - I got a feeling you
get Nono, I get buried.Copy !req
615. - That's the gamble
you're gonna have to takeCopy !req
616. if you wanna make a
million bucks.Copy !req
617. - A million bucks?Copy !req
618. - That's what it's worthCopy !req
619. to get Dockerty in the
ring with Matilda.Copy !req
620. You interested?Copy !req
621. - Is Rolls interested in Royce?Copy !req
622. - Okay.Copy !req
623. Now you arrange the fights,Copy !req
624. I write about them.Copy !req
625. Nobody knows about our deal.Copy !req
626. So when Nono comes down on you,Copy !req
627. you keep your mouth
shut, you don't call me.Copy !req
628. We understand each other?Copy !req
629. - You got yourself a deal, Mr.
Parkhurst.Copy !req
630. - Oh, incidentally,
very important,Copy !req
631. you take care of Kathleen
Smith and the ASPCA first.Copy !req
632. I hear on the grape vine that
she's taking you to court.Copy !req
633. - She is being taken care
of immediately.Copy !req
634. - Are you sure
this is the place?Copy !req
635. - Sure I'm sure,
can't you read English?Copy !req
636. - Don't get mad,
I'm only asking.Copy !req
637. - Come on, come on, good dogs.Copy !req
638. Come on, come on, come on.Copy !req
639. Come on, sweetie.Copy !req
640. Hey.Copy !req
641. Come on, come one,
what a nice dog.Copy !req
642. - Come on, Charlie.Copy !req
643. - Hi!Copy !req
644. Fancy meeting you out here.Copy !req
645. Do you live here?Copy !req
646. I walk down this
street every day.Copy !req
647. Hello.Copy !req
648. - How nice, Mr. Bonnelli.Copy !req
649. - This is the part of the
day I always look forward to,Copy !req
650. to be with my animals.Copy !req
651. They're mostly strays
I picked up.Copy !req
652. I can't stand to see an
animal suffer.Copy !req
653. - Mr. Bonnelli, why do I
get this feelingCopy !req
654. there's something you're
trying so hard to tell me?Copy !req
655. - Miss Smith, you've
got me wrong.Copy !req
656. When I wanna tell
somebody something,Copy !req
657. I tell them straight out.Copy !req
658. Like the whole Matilda thing.Copy !req
659. Do you really think
that I would ever, everCopy !req
660. let anybody hurt him?Copy !req
661. I mean, that kangaroo's
like family to me.Copy !req
662. - Family?Copy !req
663. People don't exploit
their family.Copy !req
664. - But who's exploiting anybody?Copy !req
665. Do you think anyone can
teach a kangaroo to fight?Copy !req
666. No way, it's a natural thing.Copy !req
667. It's their sex drive.Copy !req
668. God gave it to them just
like He gave it to us.Copy !req
669. They fight and we...Copy !req
670. How tall are you?Copy !req
671. - What?Copy !req
672. - I mean, you sure got long
legs for a lady your size,Copy !req
673. you know that?Copy !req
674. - My injunction is
going to stand.Copy !req
675. Matilda is not going
to fight again.Copy !req
676. Will you excuse me, please?Copy !req
677. - Miss Smith, listen to me!Copy !req
678. Ow, ow, ow!Copy !req
679. Oh, you bit me, ow!Copy !req
680. - Sit down.Copy !req
681. Come on, sit.Copy !req
682. Here, hold Charlie.Copy !req
683. Let's take the shoe off.Copy !req
684. No, we must take the shoe offCopy !req
685. to see if the skin is broke.Copy !req
686. - No, it's nothing, really.Copy !req
687. - My goodness.Copy !req
688. Why am I so disappointedCopy !req
689. that you are not bleeding, Mr.
Bonnelli?Copy !req
690. - What?Copy !req
691. - You know, it's just amazing
that for a man your size,Copy !req
692. your legs are so ugly.Copy !req
693. That must do terrible
things for your ego.Copy !req
694. Can I have Charlie, please?Copy !req
695. - What are you, some
kind of sadist workingCopy !req
696. for the Prevention of
Cruelty for Animals?Copy !req
697. - I can tell you this,
I've never been so inspiredCopy !req
698. to stop anyone as I am now, Mr.
Bonnelli.Copy !req
699. Oh,Copy !req
700. here boys.Copy !req
701. Here, fellas.Copy !req
702. Fetch!Copy !req
703. - What're you doing?Copy !req
704. What're you, crazy?Copy !req
705. - Fetch, Bonnelli.Copy !req
706. Fetch.Copy !req
707. - You know what that was
all about, don't you?Copy !req
708. - Yeah, guess she didn't
go for it, huh?Copy !req
709. - You think she really cares
about stopping a fight?Copy !req
710. That's her way to
sticking it to my lifeCopy !req
711. and you know something?Copy !req
712. I don't think she can fight
it, what do you think of that?Copy !req
713. Ugly legs.Copy !req
714. - Who?Copy !req
715. - Well Miss Smith is gonna
have to learn the hard way.Copy !req
716. No more Mr. Nice Guy!Copy !req
717. We'll be gone, fighting
around the country,Copy !req
718. while my long-legged
friend spends her lifeCopy !req
719. trying to get an
injunction against usCopy !req
720. in every state in the Union.Copy !req
721. Gordon, partner,Copy !req
722. you ever think of
selling this cab?Copy !req
723. - For
the next six months,Copy !req
724. we crisscrossed the
United States taking onCopy !req
725. every contender for the title.Copy !req
726. Slowly working our way
to a championship fight.Copy !req
727. We went to some very
strange places.Copy !req
728. Tuskaloosa, Chattanooga.Copy !req
729. Tallahassee,Copy !req
730. Albuquerque,Copy !req
731. Indianapolis,Copy !req
732. Minneapolis.Copy !req
733. We had seven fightsCopy !req
734. and Matilda killed 'em
all in the first round.Copy !req
735. It was very tiring but
it was all happyCopy !req
736. being one family, so to speak.Copy !req
737. Bernie, bless his heart,Copy !req
738. was saving some money for us allCopy !req
739. but he always insisted, even
though we didn't spend a lot,Copy !req
740. we always ate good.Copy !req
741. - Thanks.Copy !req
742. - Oh, just a minute, sir.Copy !req
743. - Oh.Copy !req
744. That's a sundae for Matilda.Copy !req
745. - Thank you, come back again.Copy !req
746. - I want chocolate.Copy !req
747. - Hello.Copy !req
748. What're you doing?Copy !req
749. What are you doing?Copy !req
750. - Do you really think you could
stop me by leaving New York?Copy !req
751. - I tried calling to say
goodbye but your phone was busy.Copy !req
752. - Oh, well why didn't
you write me a letter?Copy !req
753. I got the bill for your shoes.Copy !req
754. - Well, those were
Bally loafers.Copy !req
755. - Oh, well, they only ate one.Copy !req
756. - I'm sorry.Copy !req
757. Eat one, you gotta pay for two.Copy !req
758. Did you follow me to Oklahoma?Copy !req
759. - Don't flatter yourself.Copy !req
760. Been down at the state capital
trying to get an injunctionCopy !req
761. to stop this fight.Copy !req
762. - Oh.Copy !req
763. - They
wouldn't grant it.Copy !req
764. - Oh.Copy !req
765. - I read in the papersCopy !req
766. where your next fight is
in Los Angeles.Copy !req
767. - Yeah, that's right, why?Copy !req
768. - Oh, my brother's the
boxing commissionerCopy !req
769. of the state of California.Copy !req
770. Come in!Copy !req
771. Just leave it there in
the front room, please.Copy !req
772. Get out!Copy !req
773. - Listen, I want to be friends.Copy !req
774. Can we be friends?Copy !req
775. - No, get out!Copy !req
776. - Most women, when they
come out of the showerCopy !req
777. and they're in a bathrobe
and their hair's like thatCopy !req
778. are supposed to look
pretty but they never do.Copy !req
779. YouCopy !req
780. do.Copy !req
781. It's not great but
it's friendly.Copy !req
782. Here.Copy !req
783. It's not great but
it's friendly.Copy !req
784. - I never thought that it
was possible to hate anybodyCopy !req
785. as much as I hate you but I
have achieved the impossible.Copy !req
786. When are you gonna give it up?Copy !req
787. - It's great but it's
not friendly.Copy !req
788. - I have this curious notion
that you have come up hereCopy !req
789. to try and tell me somethingCopy !req
790. and you just don't know
quite how to say it.Copy !req
791. - I'm not kidding, I
wanna be friends.Copy !req
792. - Oh, is it my
irresistible beautyCopy !req
793. or does it have something
to do with the factCopy !req
794. that my brother is the head ofCopy !req
795. the boxing commission
of California?Copy !req
796. - The honest answer to that
is "yes to both," why not?Copy !req
797. I'm fighting for the life
of a man and a marsupialCopy !req
798. that I give a damn about.Copy !req
799. Someday, if we really get
to be friends,Copy !req
800. I'll tell you about what
I think of theCopy !req
801. prevention of cruelty to people.Copy !req
802. You keep talking
about marsupials.Copy !req
803. Did you happen to see my
English friendCopy !req
804. who was once Welterweight
Champion of England?Copy !req
805. That's important, lady!Copy !req
806. I don't think you understand
how important that is,Copy !req
807. that a man who was
Welterweight ChampionCopy !req
808. is suddenly walking on his
knees starving to deathCopy !req
809. and has nothing but a one-way
ticket to the poor house.Copy !req
810. That might not mean
anything to youCopy !req
811. but it means something to me!Copy !req
812. Here.Copy !req
813. Have a shoe.Copy !req
814. I'll send you a bill
in the morning.Copy !req
815. - Okay, we
throw a net over the beastCopy !req
816. and this time we kidnap him!Copy !req
817. - Even if we
kidnap the kangaroo,Copy !req
818. how're we gonna get them
in this trunk?Copy !req
819. - He's no bigger than a body.Copy !req
820. You, are you sure it's gonna
be here, this kangaroo?Copy !req
821. - I told you for the last time,Copy !req
822. he comes up and down this trail.Copy !req
823. - Well I'm just checking, I
don't want no more trouble!Copy !req
824. Now go!
- Come on.Copy !req
825. - I hope this
works because if it doesn't,Copy !req
826. the boss finds out, it's
concrete Keds for us.Copy !req
827. - Come on, would you
please hurry up?Copy !req
828. - All right,
all right, all right!Copy !req
829. - When I give the signal,
drop it right here!Copy !req
830. - All right, we hear you!Copy !req
831. Only a moron would try
to kidnap this beast.Copy !req
832. This is ridiculous!Copy !req
833. - Throw it!Copy !req
834. What is this beast?Copy !req
835. He's killin', he choking me!Copy !req
836. Help, he's choke!Copy !req
837. - We gotta get Macante out!Copy !req
838. - What's the problem?Copy !req
839. Simple!Copy !req
840. Ow!Copy !req
841. Get me out of this!Copy !req
842. Ow, you idiot,
what're you doing?Copy !req
843. - Stupid, hit the one
with the big ears!Copy !req
844. - I'll hit you in your big ears!Copy !req
845. - I'm gonna feel around,Copy !req
846. when I don't feel no fur,Copy !req
847. Tito's gonna lift up the net
and we're gonna let you out!Copy !req
848. Capeesh?Copy !req
849. - All right, get out, get out!Copy !req
850. - Hey, I'm
still in here!Copy !req
851. Hey, you!Copy !req
852. - Move! Move!Copy !req
853. Let's get out of here!Copy !req
854. Go! Go! Go! Go!Copy !req
855. - Ladies and gentleman,

856. this is the main event
of the evening.Copy !req

994. She's feeling guilty and
I'm going to her room nowCopy !req
995. to make her meal

I'll give it back laterCopy !req
1013. and you can take it home.Copy !req
1014. It's okay.Copy !req
1015. - I'm a bum again.Copy !req
1016. I'm on the outside looking in.Copy !req
1017. I'm nothing.Copy !req
1018. I'm a loser.Copy !req
1019. - Oh,Copy !req
1020. Lord,Copy !req
1021. Bernie, you're
anything but a loser.Copy !req
1022. You are the most amazing man
I have ever met in my life.Copy !req
1023. Oh, Bernie.Copy !req
1024. I've never seen a man
with such energy.Copy !req
1025. And I've never seen a man
who tried with all his mightCopy !req
1026. to obtain the impossible.Copy !req
1027. And, you know,Copy !req
1028. you know, you almost succeeded.Copy !req
1029. Don't you realize how
truly great you are?Copy !req
1030. - I'm not thinking too clearly.Copy !req
1031. I have a terrible headache.Copy !req
1032. - Oh, a headache.Copy !req
1033. - As a matter of fact,
my whole neck.Copy !req
1034. - Oh, your neck?Copy !req
1035. - And my whole back.Copy !req
1036. - Your back too?Copy !req
1037. - Oh yes.Copy !req
1038. Ah.Copy !req
1039. Oh.Copy !req
1040. Oh.Copy !req
1041. Oh, I'll tell you something,
Miss Smith.Copy !req
1042. - Yes?Copy !req
1043. - You're in another world.Copy !req
1044. You don't understand, I
get a chance like thisCopy !req
1045. once in a lifetime.Copy !req
1046. It's gone, you don't get two
chances at something like this.Copy !req
1047. Oh.Copy !req
1048. Ah.Copy !req
1049. Can I have another drink,
please?Copy !req
1050. - Sure.Copy !req
1051. Bernie, I think
you've had enough.Copy !req
1052. - God, if you only knew
what I have to go though.Copy !req
1053. I mean, I don't have any moneyCopy !req
1054. and Billy's ruined and
Matilda's ruinedCopy !req
1055. and it's all my fault.Copy !req
1056. - Oh, no.Copy !req
1057. Bernie, no.Copy !req
1058. It's the opposite,
absolutely the opposite.Copy !req
1059. Here, sit up.Copy !req
1060. Oh, Bernie, it's because
of you that they existed,Copy !req
1061. that they even had the chance.Copy !req
1062. They even had the chance.Copy !req
1063. - But they don't have any
chance anymore, don't you see?Copy !req
1064. - Oh, no, no.Copy !req
1065. I think you should just relax.Copy !req
1066. Just relax for a little while.Copy !req
1067. Okay?Copy !req
1068. Oh.Copy !req
1069. That's it.Copy !req
1070. Just relax.Copy !req
1071. Relax.Copy !req
1072. - Here they come.Copy !req
1073. Now remember,Copy !req
1074. when I ask the animal for
his autograph,Copy !req
1075. you got just enough time
to do what you gotta do.Copy !req
1076. Think, we get in the car,
we're goneCopy !req
1077. and the dot's gone.Copy !req
1078. Capeesh?Copy !req
1079. - I know what I'm
supposed to do.Copy !req
1080. - I'm just checking.Copy !req
1081. Why you always get upset
about everything?Copy !req
1082. - When I'm through,Copy !req
1083. the kangaroo's too.Copy !req
1084. - I love you.Copy !req
1085. Excuse me.Copy !req
1086. Gentlemen?Copy !req
1087. Excuse me, please, somebody?Copy !req
1088. I'd like to get his autograph,
please?Copy !req
1089. It's for my kid.Copy !req
1090. - Oh, oh.Copy !req
1091. - I really
would appreciate it.Copy !req
1092. - Sign here.Copy !req
1093. - Thanks a lot,
really.Copy !req
1094. I really appreciated that.Copy !req
1095. - Ah, look at you.Copy !req
1096. - Bernie's
idea of doing a showCopy !req
1097. where Matilda fights
Cyclone RobertsCopy !req
1098. was my debut as an actor.Copy !req
1099. And if I must say so myself,Copy !req
1100. it was a milestone in
television history.Copy !req
1101. - Oh!Copy !req
1102. - He's our MatildaCopy !req
1103. that we saved in the desert
when he was just a little roo.Copy !req
1104. - Maybe
he'll pay us backCopy !req
1105. by fighting that mean
Cyclone Roberts.Copy !req
1106. - Do you believe this?Copy !req
1107. Do you believe this?Copy !req
1108. - Pardon me, ma'am, you
saved his life...Copy !req
1109. Too.Copy !req
1110. - Dear Matilda
agreed to fight Cyclone RobertsCopy !req
1111. and give his share of the purse.Copy !req
1112. - Okay, switch
cameras to the ring.Copy !req
1113. And here we are, live,
from Olympia AuditoriumCopy !req
1114. where the boxing event
you've all been waiting forCopy !req
1115. is about to begin!Copy !req
1116. Matilda vs. Cyclone Roberts!Copy !req
1117. He knows Matilda can hit.Copy !req
1118. He throws a jab.Copy !req
1119. Way short.Copy !req
1120. Cyclone dancing around now.Copy !req
1121. Cyclone steps up.Copy !req
1122. Pulls a jab, Matilda comes back.Copy !req
1123. What a devastating
hook to the head!Copy !req
1124. Cyclone is down!Copy !req
1125. The referee is countingCopy !req
1126. but it's a waste of time.Copy !req
1127. Cyclone is out cold!Copy !req
1128. That's it, it's all over.Copy !req
1129. Once again, Matilda has
stopped his opponentCopy !req
1130. in the first round!Copy !req
1131. Listen to that crowd,
they love it!Copy !req
1132. - Ah, the great Bernie Bonnelli.Copy !req
1133. The rope burner, the world
beater, the impresario!Copy !req
1134. - This is Billy Baker,
the Burmazi Kid.Copy !req
1135. - Glad to know you.Copy !req
1136. You know, I used to think
you were just a hustler,Copy !req
1137. but I guess I was wrong.Copy !req
1138. - Coming from you, that
scares me, what's up?Copy !req
1139. Why did you have us fly back?Copy !req
1140. - Good news and bad news.Copy !req
1141. The championship fight
is on in Reno.Copy !req
1142. Congratulations.Copy !req
1143. - Hey! Hey! Hey!Copy !req
1144. - We've done it, Bernie,
we've done it!Copy !req
1145. - Bad news is, you're
all working for free.Copy !req
1146. - Free?Copy !req
1147. - You heard me, for free.Copy !req
1148. Nobody gets anything exceptCopy !req
1149. the Free Food Fund for
Hungry Children in New York.Copy !req
1150. - But what about
hungry trainerCopy !req
1151. and a hungry manager?Copy !req
1152. - Listen,Copy !req
1153. I've been waiting for five yearsCopy !req
1154. for the chance to
nail Uncle NonoCopy !req
1155. and this is the only way
I could make it work.Copy !req
1156. Give the entire gate to charity.Copy !req
1157. He had to agree to the
match or else he'd be baredCopy !req
1158. from ever promoting another
match anywhere in this country.Copy !req
1159. - Well when did all this happen?Copy !req
1160. - Just a little while ago.Copy !req
1161. I figure when things got tough,Copy !req
1162. the thought of a million
bucks would keep you going.Copy !req
1163. - Well thank you, we finally
make it over the rainbowCopy !req
1164. to find out that the
pot's empty!Copy !req
1165. - Bonnelli, look,Copy !req
1166. after this fight,
everything is yours.Copy !req
1167. But for now,Copy !req
1168. I'm gonna give you a chance
for once in your lifeCopy !req
1169. to do the right thing.Copy !req
1170. Help somebody else.Copy !req
1171. - What did you ever give away,
Duke?Copy !req
1172. A few funny lines to some guy
who got his head handed to himCopy !req
1173. in the loosing end of a fightCopy !req
1174. so you could sell
some more papers?Copy !req
1175. Billy, Mr. Parkhurst,
here, knew all the timeCopy !req
1176. that I would go along with it.Copy !req
1177. He could spot a sucker like me
a mile away, chasing a dream,Copy !req
1178. but I ain't talking for
you or Matilda.Copy !req
1179. - Well...Copy !req
1180. Well, it's whatever you say,
Bernie.Copy !req
1181. You're the only one that's ever
been nice to Matilda and me.Copy !req
1182. - It's gonna be Matilda's
toughest fight.Copy !req
1183. But the man's right about
cleaning up the sportCopy !req
1184. and helping the kids.Copy !req
1185. - Well it's all right by
Matilda and meCopy !req
1186. if you say so, Bernie.Copy !req
1187. You'd never do
anything wrong to us.Copy !req
1188. - Mr. Parkhurst,Copy !req
1189. you've got yourself the fight
of the century to write about.Copy !req
1190. - We trained
hard from early morningCopy !req
1191. till late every day.Copy !req
1192. But the champ was
training hard too.Copy !req
1193. He was determined Matilda
wouldn't win this fight.Copy !req
1194. It was gonna be the fight
of Lee Dockerty's life.Copy !req
1195. Tanya felt badly after what
had happened to DockertyCopy !req
1196. at the carnival and she
became Lee's greatest fan.Copy !req
1197. - Great, champ!Copy !req
1198. You're looking great.Copy !req
1199. - He deserves it.Copy !req
1200. Everything okay, Harry?Copy !req
1201. - Fine, Mr. Bonnelli, all
peace and quiet.Copy !req
1202. - Look, I just came in hereCopy !req
1203. to see if you were all right,
champ.Copy !req
1204. You funny beast.Copy !req
1205. Matilda.Copy !req
1206. Matilda, where are you
coming from, Matilda?Copy !req
1207. Who made you?Copy !req
1208. And why?Copy !req
1209. Why?Copy !req
1210. Why should you, the most
funny-looking put togetherCopy !req
1211. animal in the world,
have this great talent?Copy !req
1212. Has the spirit of Dempsey and
Sugar Ray entered your body?Copy !req
1213. But why you, Matilda?Copy !req
1214. Other kangaroos are in circuses
and zoos and carnivals,Copy !req
1215. but never, no one, no
one like you.Copy !req
1216. You're going along with
what started out as a gagCopy !req
1217. and now laughing your head off?Copy !req
1218. But whatever it is, there's
something I wanna say.Copy !req
1219. No matter how we make out,Copy !req
1220. you and Billy are winnersCopy !req
1221. and for the first
time in my life,Copy !req
1222. you've made me a winner too.Copy !req
1223. Thanks.Copy !req
1224. - Hey.Copy !req
1225. - Oh, hello.Copy !req
1226. Happy to see you.Copy !req
1227. - How you been?Copy !req
1228. - Oh, I've been fine,
how are you?Copy !req
1229. - Everything's fine?Copy !req
1230. - Yeah, everything is wonderful.Copy !req
1231. - Bern.Copy !req
1232. The car.Copy !req
1233. - Yeah, get in.Copy !req
1234. - Ha, ha, ha.Copy !req
1235. - Come on, Bern, in the car.Copy !req
1236. - This is a nice car.Copy !req
1237. Are we going for a ride?Copy !req
1238. - Hey, paesano,
relax.Copy !req
1239. You want a drink?Copy !req
1240. - Yeah,
turn on the TV.Copy !req
1241. - Now look, kid, this could be
a short night if you're smartCopy !req
1242. or it could be a longer
one if you're not.Copy !req
1243. Come here.Copy !req
1244. You, Bonnelli, you've
caused me a lot of grief.Copy !req
1245. You've taken apart an
organizationCopy !req
1246. that's taken me
years to develop.Copy !req
1247. My men, they're morons.Copy !req
1248. So, Uncle Nono has to take
care of business himself.Copy !req
1249. This is for you.Copy !req
1250. I've already signed it.Copy !req
1251. You are now the owner
of Lee DockertyCopy !req
1252. after the fight tomorrow night.Copy !req
1253. This one, here, you sign.Copy !req
1254. And I own Matilda at
the same time.Copy !req
1255. You wanna sign?Copy !req
1256. - You ain't thinking clear.Copy !req
1257. Kill me and Billy makes
Matilda fight anyways.Copy !req
1258. You can't win.Copy !req
1259. - When we get through with you,Copy !req
1260. we're going back to that campCopy !req
1261. and we whack out of the
Englishman and the kangaroo.Copy !req
1262. - Even you couldn't
take the heatCopy !req
1263. that would come down after that.Copy !req
1264. Uh-uh.Copy !req
1265. Uh-uh.Copy !req
1266. You didn't get to the top
doing stuff like that.Copy !req
1267. Them, maybe, but not you.Copy !req
1268. - You're all right, kid.Copy !req
1269. I like you, like your style.Copy !req
1270. If you ever decide to get
out of the boxing racket,Copy !req
1271. you got a position with
me and my organization.Copy !req
1272. - Uh-uh.Copy !req
1273. - No, no, no, I mean it,
strictly legit.Copy !req
1274. Straight.Copy !req
1275. I own 45 different businessesCopy !req
1276. between manufacturing andCopy !req
1277. leisure time activities.Copy !req
1278. - Are they your board
of directors?Copy !req
1279. - You gotta
understand one thing,Copy !req
1280. business is businessCopy !req
1281. but that does not
include boxing.Copy !req
1282. Boxing is my hobby.Copy !req
1283. - You're really just a
sportsman at heart.Copy !req
1284. - Yeah.Copy !req
1285. I mean, what's wrong with

1319. the politicians, the
stage and screen starsCopy !req
1320. and of course, the sportsmen!Copy !req
1321. A cross section of the
rich and powerfulCopy !req
1322. from all over the globe.Copy !req
1323. They've traveled
thousands of milesCopy !req
1324. to see this little
square above me,Copy !req
1325. where, here in a few moments,Copy !req
1326. probably the two finest
fighting machine of all timeCopy !req
1327. are going to meet each other.Copy !req
1328. But ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
1329. never have the championship
fights been so cloudedCopy !req
1330. by rumors.Copy !req
1331. There's a report that both camps
have bought off the judges,Copy !req
1332. that Dockerty is terrifiedCopy !req
1333. and plans to take a dive
right after the opening bell.Copy !req
1334. There's a report that
somebody's been dopingCopy !req
1335. Matilda's breakfast food!Copy !req
1336. And another has it

1346. - No, I don't bet fights.Copy !req
1347. Congratulations.Copy !req
1348. - And here
comes the championCopy !req
1349. from the far corner of
the Colosseum.Copy !req

hurt each other.Copy !req

didn't he?Copy !req

few drinks that night.Copy !req

you know that.Copy !req

1375. - I knew they were washed up.Copy !req
1376. We were all lucky.Copy !req

gets him first,Copy !req
