Copy !req
53. I did not go overseas

It's coupons for food.
Copy !req
56. It's from the church...
Copy !req
57. Enough.
Copy !req
58. It's starting, papa.

right to the jaw, hurting schmeling. .
Copy !req
67. Louis is all over the big
German here in round 1. .
Copy !req
68. A barrage of punches
to the head.
Copy !req
69. As schmeling starts
to crumble against the ropes. .
Copy !req
70. A dynamite right,
and schmeling goes down.
Copy !req
71. But he's up on the count of 2.

79. Louis is the champion
of the world.
Copy !req
80. What? Oh.
Copy !req
81. He's the champion of the world.
Copy !req
82. Louis beat schmeling.
All right.
Copy !req
83. Louis! Louis! Yeah!
Copy !req
84. Knock it off, you little
hooligans, or I'll call the cops.
Copy !req
85. There you go,
Mrs. drago.
Copy !req
86. Ah, thank you.
Copy !req
87. Enjoy the day. You, too..
Copy !req
88. Next.
Copy !req
89. Come along.
Copy !req
90. Paying with these today,
Mr. Murphy, ok?
Copy !req
91. Marchegiano,
can't you read English?
Copy !req
92. Cash customers first.
Copy !req
93. Back of the line.
Copy !req
94. Hey, papa.
What about the food?
Copy !req
95. Where are you go... papa.
Copy !req
96. Come on, Allie.
Let's get to the back...
Copy !req
97. Next.
Copy !req
98. Crooked. Again.
Copy !req
99. Sit with me for a moment.
Copy !req
100. You know, rocco,
Copy !req
101. I come to America on the
same boat as your grandpa.
Copy !req
102. Oh, the promises we had
ringing in our ears.
Copy !req
103. We couldn't hear nothing else.
Copy !req
104. Instead,
Copy !req
105. we become dagos, wops.
Copy !req
106. They say we're lazy.
Copy !req
107. Or worse,
Copy !req
108. the black hand. The mafia.
Copy !req
109. The only thing that matters is
what you got inside you, rocco.
Copy !req
110. Your pride.
Copy !req
111. When I was a little boy,
Copy !req
112. I was too small to go
fishing with my father.
Copy !req
113. So I hang around the docks, I do all
sorts of little jobs for the fishermen.
Copy !req
114. They give me oyster shells.
Copy !req
115. Oysters?
Yeah.
Copy !req
116. Yeah. In italia, a rich man's
court, a real bocce court,
Copy !req
117. Is made of the crushed shell
of the oyster.
Copy !req
118. That's what makes the ball run
straight like it's supposed to.
Copy !req
119. One day,
Copy !req
120. I bring home
all the shells I save up.
Copy !req
121. I give them to my father
Copy !req
122. to make a bocce court
for his own. .
Copy !req
123. That's how I learn.
Copy !req
124. Not just the bocce. .
Copy !req
125. How to save.
Copy !req
126. The little boy spends, uh?
Copy !req
127. A man saves.
Copy !req
128. A man is nothing
Copy !req
129. without cash.
Copy !req
130. I, uh, hope you
like the plaque, rocky. .
Copy !req
131. Oh, yes, it's terrific.
Copy !req
132. 2 boxers facing each other...
Copy !req
133. I understand the logic, ok?
Copy !req
134. Oh, uh, there's a car waiting to
take you right to the airport.
Copy !req
135. That's swell.
Copy !req
136. I'm sure you'll
find this satisfactory.
Copy !req
137. Wait, wait, wait, what's this?
Copy !req
138. $2,000.
Copy !req
139. Oh, see, here's the thing...
Copy !req
140. Hey, rocky.
How're you doin'?
Copy !req
141. I don't take checks.
You got any cash?
Copy !req
142. Not $2,000.
Copy !req
143. How much you got?
Copy !req
144. Uh, I don't know.
About $400, $500.
Copy !req
145. You've put me in an
embarrassing situation here.
Copy !req
146. This is fine. This'll do.
Thank you.
Copy !req
147. But... but... but rocky, uh...
Copy !req
148. See, this is a piece of paper.
Copy !req
149. This... this is money.
Copy !req
150. Give me my money.
Copy !req
151. Hey, what the hell's goin' on?
Copy !req
152. What's goin' on?
Copy !req
153. Dirty Mick says $5 for
shoveling coal, 7:00 to 4:00,

Copy !req
155. Then he shit-cans us

extra for the aggravation. Come on.
Copy !req
162. I ain't no thief, Allie.
Copy !req
163. Yeah?
Copy !req
164. And you ain't shovelin' coal
no more, neither.
Copy !req
165. I can't believe you just cost

Copy !req
166. What do you wanna do,

Copy !req
184. He's the toughest amateur
in Massachusetts.
Copy !req
185. You ain't never boxed
for real in your life.
Copy !req
186. Allie, I wanna fight the guy
everyone's been duckin'.
Copy !req
187. That way, everybody knows
who's best, right off the bat.
Copy !req
188. Besides, he's an amateur.
How good could he be?
Copy !req
189. Jesus h. Christ.
Copy !req
190. Rocco, rocco,
look at the size of this guy.
Copy !req
191. One shot.
Copy !req
192. Introducing in this corner,
Copy !req
193. In his first amateur bout,
Copy !req
194. weighing in at 210 pounds,
Copy !req
195. fighting out of brockton,
Massachusetts,
Copy !req
196. rocco "rocky" marchegiano.
Copy !req

Copy !req
198. And in this corner,
weighing in at 230 pounds,

200. - and runner-up in the new england.
Copy !req

Copy !req
202. All right, boys.
You know the rules.
Copy !req
203. I want to see a clean one here.
Copy !req
204. Touch gloves

Copy !req
205. Rocky's gonna kick his ass.
Copy !req
206. Go, rocco. Come on.
Copy !req
207. Don't try to punch..
Copy !req
208. Keep your hands up.
Copy !req
209. Come on, rock.

Copy !req
210. Hit him, rocky.

Copy !req
215. Get out of the corner.
Copy !req
216. $22.59. Rock,
we gotta get a real job.
Copy !req
217. I've been thinking, Allie.
It's time for me to turn pro.
Copy !req
218. Pro? Look at yourself.
What are you, nuts?
Copy !req
219. Oh, you sure don't belong in
a ring with those guys.
Copy !req
220. Those guys hit like girls.
Copy !req
221. I just don't train enough.
I'm out of condition.
Copy !req
222. It says here Joe Louis,
he boxes 30 rounds...
Copy !req
223. You're comparing
yourself to Joe?
Copy !req
224. I'm not comparing. If Joe Louis
boxes 30 rounds before a fight,
Copy !req
225. a guy like me has gotta
fight, what, like 60.
Copy !req
226. And if he runs 6 Miles,
I better cover 12.
Copy !req
227. If I train twice as hard as these guys,
maybe I got a shot at winning a fight.
Copy !req
228. Hey, we're broke. We need a shot
at getting some real jobs. Ok?
Copy !req
229. Allie, now you
wanna stick around here,
Copy !req
230. break your back,
then you be my guest.
Copy !req
231. I've seen what this place
did to my father,
Copy !req
232. and I'm not gonna
let it happen to me.
Copy !req
233. Now, I got a shot at gettin'
out of here, all right?
Copy !req
234. And with my next fight...
Copy !req
235. What next fight?
Copy !req
236. I'm fightin' again in 3 weeks.
Copy !req
237. You're fighting again?
Copy !req
238. Yeah, as a pro.
Copy !req
239. There's this big shot manager, Al
weill, coming up to Rhode Island.
Copy !req
240. He's looking for new talent. Now,
this guy's got 3 champions.
Copy !req
241. He's lookin' for a heavyweight.
Copy !req
242. Oh, then you're in.
Look.
Copy !req
243. I wrote him a letter.
I told him I was undefeated.
Copy !req
244. Undefeated?
You lost 4 times.
Copy !req
245. As an amateur.
Copy !req
246. But professionally,
I'm undefeated, technically.
Copy !req
247. Rocco, you don't know
how to box.
Copy !req
248. So I'll learn.
Copy !req
249. What are you gonna learn?
Copy !req
250. They beat my head in, I ain't went down once.
What do I got to lose, Allie?
Copy !req
251. Allie, Allie, listen to me.
Copy !req
252. There is no way
that I'm makin' shoes.
Copy !req
253. Now this is our best shot
at gettin' out of here.
Copy !req
254. Now, if we try our hardest and it
doesn't work, then we go get jobs.
Copy !req
255. What do you say?
Copy !req
256. Come on, Allie,
come on, what do you say?
Copy !req
257. What's the matter with you?
Copy !req
258. More.
Copy !req
259. All right.
Copy !req
260. Try to count. Count
them when you do it..
Copy !req
261. One.
Copy !req
262. You can only do one?
Come on.
Copy !req
263. One.
Copy !req
264. What's the matter with you?
Copy !req
265. What the hell's the matter with you?
Come on.
Copy !req
266. No. I can't. What do
you mean you can't?
Copy !req
267. I can't have bread.
Copy !req
268. You can't have bread?
Copy !req
269. I'm in training.
I gotta lose this.
Copy !req
270. Uncle Matthew's bread...
Copy !req
271. I never heard of such a thing.
Please.
Copy !req
272. He can't have bread.
Copy !req
273. It's very complicated.
Copy !req
274. Run in the spot. Get your knees up.
Get your knees up.

Copy !req
282. There you go. Good.
Copy !req
283. Good. That looks like...
Hey!
Copy !req
284. Here you go, have a tomato.
Copy !req
285. Ma, I can't have tomato.
Copy !req
286. What do you mean,
you can't have a tomato?
Copy !req
287. Tomato.
Copy !req
288. I can't have a tomato.
Copy !req
289. How can a tomato hurt you?
Copy !req
290. I gotta eat steak.
It's all right, darling.
Copy !req
291. Have you ever
heard of such thing?
Copy !req
292. Can a tomato hurt him?
Now, you tell me.
Copy !req
293. I told you, it's complex.
Copy !req
294. Duck.
Copy !req
295. Ok.

Copy !req
297. Good. Jab, jab, right.
Copy !req

562. I like a fighter

Copy !req
563. You think you're ready
to move up in the world?
Copy !req
564. Well, I'm ready
for the garden, Mr. carbo.
Copy !req
565. You can make book on that.
Copy !req
566. Well, with Louis retiring, there's
a little room to maneuver.
Copy !req

568. carmine vingo.
You know him?
Copy !req
569. Yeah, heard of him.
Big kid, right? 6'4".
Copy !req

Copy !req
592. Hey, listen to me,
sleeping beauty.
Copy !req
593. This is the garden. Madison square, N.Y.C.
You know what that means?
Copy !req
594. To lay it all on the line, huh.
Make it happen.
Copy !req
595. And Madison
square garden is proud.
Copy !req
596. To have in its audience

Joe Louis is here tonight?
Copy !req
600. To see me...
Copy !req
601. Mr. Joe Louis.
Copy !req
602. Oh, it's bad enough my boss
wouldn't let me go to New York,
Copy !req
603. but he wouldn't
even let me off early.
Copy !req
604. I saved a place for you.
Copy !req
605. Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
606. Let him go.
Copy !req
607. Get under him.
Get under him.
Copy !req
608. He's cut.
Copy !req
609. Break it, boys, break it.
Break it up.
Copy !req
610. If you're gonna
stick in that crouch,
Copy !req
611. You better use the uppercut.
Copy !req
612. This... this eye's a mess.
Copy !req
613. You gotta make it happen now.
Copy !req
614. He's bigger
and quicker than you.
Copy !req
615. You gotta kiss him
with that right hand.
Copy !req
616. Get out there and
knock this bum out,
Copy !req
617. and then we'll go home.
Yeah.
Copy !req
618. 1, 2, 3,
Copy !req
619. 4, 5,
Copy !req
620. 6, 7, 8...
Copy !req
621. Go get him, rock.
Copy !req
622. Take it home.
Take him away.
Copy !req
623. You all right?
Copy !req
624. Take it home, rocky.
Take it home.
Copy !req
625. 3, 4, 5,
Copy !req
626. 6, 7, 8, 9... he's out.
Copy !req
627. Get the doctor in here.
Copy !req
628. Good job, rock.
Copy !req
629. Kid, you all right?
Copy !req
630. Is he all right?
Is he all right?
Copy !req
631. Doc, is he all right?
Copy !req
632. No.
Copy !req
633. Somebody call an ambulance.
Copy !req
634. He'll be fine.
Copy !req
635. Doc, wake him up..
Copy !req
636. Don't worry about it, rocky.
Copy !req
637. The storm's held up
the ambulance.
Copy !req
638. But the hospital's
only 2 blocks away.
Copy !req
639. Over here. Over here.
Come on.
Copy !req
640. There's a gurney.
Get him on.
Copy !req
641. 1, 2, 3..
Copy !req
642. Easy. Easy.
Copy !req
643. Let's go. Let's go.
Copy !req
644. Hey, come on, come on.
Copy !req
645. How is he?
Copy !req
646. Uh, intensive care.
A 50-50 shot.
Copy !req
647. Not vingo. Rocky.
Is he all right?
Copy !req
648. He's right as he's gonna be when
something like this happens.
Copy !req
649. You better talk to him, make sure
his head is screwed on straight.
Copy !req
650. I'm not gonna piss away my
time on another Lou ambers.
Copy !req
651. Yeah, Lou ambers,
lightnin' Lou.
Copy !req
652. Never got over
killing scarpatti.
Copy !req
653. But there is one piece
of good news here.
Copy !req
654. What's that?
Copy !req
655. Well, the way I figure it,
Copy !req
656. every day vingo's in a coma,
Copy !req
657. rocky's price goes up $10,000.
Copy !req
658. And if vingo
should happen to die,
Copy !req
659. the sky's the limit.
Copy !req
660. You know, it's a good thing
we're in a hospital
Copy !req
661. because this coffee
could kill you.
Copy !req
662. He had it all ahead of him.
Copy !req
663. His whole life, and I throw
one hand at his head...
Copy !req
664. It happens, rock.
Copy !req
665. You wanna play this game,
you gotta accept that.
Copy !req
666. And that easily could
have happened to you.
Copy !req
667. Well, maybe I'm not cut out
for it, then.
Copy !req
668. I mean, even when I win,
I don't win.
Copy !req
669. Excuse me.
You rocky marciano?
Copy !req
670. Yeah. Why,
what happened?
Copy !req
671. Nothing.
Copy !req
672. I was just, uh, wondering
if I could get your autograph.
Copy !req
673. There's a guy's dying
down the hall,
Copy !req
674. and you want a souvenir,
like I'm babe fuckin' Ruth?
Copy !req
675. Get the hell out of here.
Copy !req
676. How's vingo doing,
Mr. carbo?
Copy !req
677. Everything that can be done
is being done for him.
Copy !req
678. I've seen to it personally.
Copy !req
679. Wha-what does that mean?
What... what do you mean?
Copy !req
680. The deathwatch is still on?
Copy !req
681. Or has... has he still
got a chance? What?
Copy !req
682. It's too close to call right
now is what it means, kiddo.
Copy !req
683. Look, you're not doing him
or you any good
Copy !req
684. just sitting here,
watching the kettle.
Copy !req
685. Go back to brockton.
Get some rest.
Copy !req
686. You should be
with your family now.
Copy !req
687. No. I gotta stay here
till I know.
Copy !req
688. Listen to Mr. carbo, rock.
Copy !req
689. You ain't doing
nothin' just sittin' here.
Copy !req
690. Look, rocco,
a terrible thing happened.
Copy !req
691. I know your heart is heavy,
but it was an accident.
Copy !req
692. You gotta remember that,
an accident.
Copy !req
693. Yeah. Thanks, Mr. carbo.
Copy !req
694. And no matter what,
Copy !req
695. just remember,
you're not a murderer.
Copy !req
696. You gotta let it go or it'll ruin you.
You get me?
Copy !req
697. Yeah.
Copy !req
698. So go home, huh?
Copy !req
699. Hang on a second, Al.
Copy !req
700. Scusi, signora vingo?
Copy !req
701. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
702. I hate that sign.
Copy !req
703. Thank you.
Copy !req
704. You heard.
Copy !req
705. You don't call me, but I heard.
Copy !req
706. This vingo boy.
He's Italian?
Copy !req
707. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
708. Éwith a family?
Copy !req
709. Yeah, a wife.
Copy !req
710. Holy heaven. .
Copy !req
711. Every time you fight,
I go to church,
Copy !req
712. and I pray you don't get hurt
Copy !req
713. and you don't hurt nobody else.
Copy !req
714. And now look what happens.
Copy !req
715. Ma, don't get started, please.
Copy !req
716. I did not raise a murderer..
Copy !req
717. Enough, ma.
Copy !req
718. Well, that could've
gone better.
Copy !req
719. Maybe I ought to find
another racket.
Copy !req
720. Doin' what, makin' shoes?
Copy !req
721. I'll talk to Mr. carbo.
He likes me.
Copy !req
722. He'll set me up with something.
Copy !req
723. Yeah, he likes you
when you're boxing,
Copy !req
724. same as everyone else
that hangs on to you.
Copy !req
725. Like you?
Copy !req
726. Yeah, like me.
Copy !req
727. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
728. Come on, rocco..
Copy !req
729. Ever since we met,
all you've been telling me
Copy !req
730. is how you wanna
get out of brockton.
Copy !req
731. You have been given a gift.
Copy !req
732. Now you're gonna throw it away?
Copy !req
733. I'm not a boxer.
Copy !req
734. I'm a guy with a good punch
who got lucky.
Copy !req
735. You're 25 and 0 against the
best boxers in the world.
Copy !req
736. Would Louis act this way?
Copy !req
737. Louis never had to...
Copy !req
738. He punched natie brown straight
into the hospital in '36.
Copy !req
739. Brown never fights again.
Copy !req
740. 4 months later, Louis k.O.'S
braddock for the title.
Copy !req
741. If Louis had given up, he'd be
sweeping floors right now.
Copy !req
742. Marry me.
Copy !req
743. No.
Copy !req
744. Look, vingo knew what he
was risking when he...
Copy !req
745. Barbara, did you hear what I said?
I asked if you would marry me.
Copy !req
746. How can I say yes with all that's
going on in your head now?
Copy !req
747. You're killing me here, I swear to God.
You don't love me?
Copy !req
748. Of course I love you.
How can you ask me that?
Copy !req
749. Even if I stop boxing?
Copy !req
750. Even if you make shoes.
Copy !req
751. Good evening. .
Copy !req
752. Hey, pop.
Copy !req
753. Hey, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
754. If it is to bring me my lunch,
Copy !req
755. I... i say you better
fix your watch.
Copy !req
756. Hey, listen, pop, I'm a little
tired from running around.
Copy !req
757. You mind if we sit down
for a second?
Copy !req
758. Uh, the vingo boy,
how... how's he doing?
Copy !req
759. Well, he's out of the hospital.
Copy !req
760. Looks like he's gonna be okay.
Copy !req
761. Va bene. And you?
What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
762. You gonna go on fightin'?
Because I want you to know,
Copy !req
763. if you don't want to
it's ok by me.
Copy !req
764. Well, one good thing
that came out of this mess
Copy !req
765. is my price is going
through the roof.
Copy !req
766. It looks like after my next fight,
I might get my title shot...
Copy !req
767. Which means I'll be able
to pay off the house
Copy !req
768. and pull you out of this
damn factory for good.
Copy !req
769. Rocco, you don't
have to do that.
Copy !req
770. I mean, me, your mama, the
family, we're ok, really.
Copy !req
771. I want to, pop.
Copy !req
772. More than anything.
Copy !req
773. Hit him already.
Hit him.
Copy !req
774. What the hell's he doing?
Copy !req
775. I don't know.
Copy !req
776. Somebody ought to check
his cup for balls.
Copy !req
777. Go to the right..
Copy !req
778. What's wrong with him?
Copy !req
779. Vingo. He's not over
vingo yet.
Copy !req
780. Where's that right?
Copy !req
781. What is this, huh?
Copy !req
782. Wake up!
Copy !req
783. You're prancing around like
you're taking in the shorts.
Copy !req
784. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
785. I feel a little tight today.
Copy !req
786. You're playing games.
Where's that right hand?
Copy !req
787. How am I doing on points?
Points?
Copy !req
788. Your whole career you were
never ahead on points.
Copy !req
789. Knock him out!
Copy !req
790. Hey, what kind of crap is this?
Copy !req
791. You're making me look
like a schmuck out there.
Copy !req
792. I'm the guy getting
his mug beaten about.
Copy !req
793. One of you step in and earn
the money for a change.
Copy !req
794. We're just trying to help
you here, all right?
Copy !req
795. You're 2 rounds away
from making penny loafers.
Copy !req
796. Maybe he'll get mad now.
Copy !req
797. Hit him. Come on.
Come on.
Copy !req
798. 2, 3,
Copy !req
799. 4, 5,
Copy !req
800. 6,
Copy !req
801. you all right?
Copy !req
802. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
803. Come on, rocco.
Pull it together.
Copy !req
804. Come on, rocco.
Now's the time.
Copy !req
805. Come on, do it.
Copy !req
806. Throw the right.
Copy !req
807. We got trouble.
Copy !req
808. What're you doin', rocky?
Copy !req
809. Hey, hey, hey, whoa.
Watch your hands.
Copy !req
810. What? You couldn't
do that to lastarza?
Copy !req
811. Look, I don't care
what you think.
Copy !req
812. All he did was run, ok?
Copy !req
813. You forced the action.
You deserved the decision.
Copy !req
814. Bullshit.
Copy !req
815. A win is a win, rocco.
Copy !req
816. I stunk up the place,
didn't I, Charlie?
Copy !req
817. I seen you do better.
Copy !req
818. What the matter with you?
Copy !req
819. Where's that punch
they all paid to see?
Copy !req
820. Al, I don't know what to tell you.
I'm sorry.
Copy !req
821. I don't know
what happened out there.
Copy !req
822. You're lucky
the judges like you.
Copy !req
823. What does that mean?
Copy !req
824. You rigged the cards?
Copy !req
825. No, rocco, there was no fix.
Copy !req
826. But you candy-ass around the ring like
that again, there may have to be.
Copy !req
827. Now, you straighten up
and fly right.
Copy !req
828. Otherwise I'll drop you
like a bad habit.
Copy !req
829. Was.
Copy !req
830. Was?
Copy !req
831. Hey, Al!
Good to see you!
Copy !req
832. Good to see you too, yeah.
Copy !req
833. What do you mean, was?
Copy !req
834. I don't know how many
notches he dropped tonight.
Copy !req
835. He's ready
for the title shot right now.
Copy !req
836. Your boy's got a little wait
in front of him now.
Copy !req
837. Rocco, you can't
knock out everybody.
Copy !req
838. But I had him, pop.
I had him.
Copy !req
839. How you doin'?
Hey, good to see you..
Copy !req
840. How are you, man?
Thank you very much.
Copy !req
841. Good to see you.
Copy !req
842. Drinks for the house!
Copy !req
843. Pop. Pop, you see who that is?
Copy !req
844. Hey, rock. He's gonna come over.
Check it out.
Copy !req
845. Shh, Allie, shut up!
Just talk.
Copy !req
846. Act like you've been there
before, know what I mean?
Copy !req
847. Pop, look at the shoes
on this guy.
Copy !req
848. Hey, Charlie.
Hey, champ.
Copy !req
849. How you doing, huh?
Copy !req
850. I'm doing great.
How you doing?
Copy !req
851. Good. Good.
Copy !req
852. So I finally get to meet
the great white hope.
Copy !req
853. Mr. Louis.
What a pleasure.
Copy !req
854. I've been waiting
my whole life to meet you.
Copy !req
855. Really?
You need to get out more.
Copy !req
856. Now, I've known Charlie for years, but
who are the rest of these folks?
Copy !req
857. This here's my father, pierino.
Copy !req
858. Nice to know you, sir.
Copy !req
859. A pleasure. Thank you..
Copy !req
860. This is my corner man,
Allie colombo.
Copy !req
861. How you doing?
Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
862. And this is my, um...
Copy !req
863. I guess you'd call her...
Copy !req
864. Fiancee, Barbara.
My...
Copy !req
865. Oh, really? Is that so?
Copy !req
866. Yeah.
Copy !req
867. Seems I'm gettin' married,
Mr. Louis.
Copy !req
868. You take care of this man.
Copy !req
869. Oh, I will. I will.
Copy !req
870. From what I'm hearin',
he's the next dempsey.
Copy !req
871. He's better than dempsey.
Copy !req
872. He's better than you.
Copy !req
873. I'm sorry, Joe, but sometimes
my friend Allie here
Copy !req
874. likes to make jokes when maybe
he should shut his mouth.
Copy !req
875. It's ok.
Copy !req
876. Well, it was nice meetin' you folks.
Congratulations.
Copy !req
877. Thank you, Joe.
Thank you.
Copy !req
878. Charlie.
Copy !req
879. What are you, stupid?
That's the brown bomber!
Copy !req
880. Hey, hey, what's the matter
with you?
Copy !req
881. Dear God,
what are you doing to me?
Copy !req
882. Shh, did you see his face?
Copy !req
883. I saw his face.
Copy !req
884. Look at him.
Hey, hey.
Copy !req
885. In his eyes, he knew the truth, rock.
He knew.
Copy !req
886. Just sit down.
You had too much to drink.
Copy !req
887. Just sit down. I can't believe
you'd do this again to me.
Copy !req
888. Don't do this to me.
Copy !req
889. I tell you, though.
I can't sing, I can't dance. .
Copy !req
890. But just to show
that I'm gracious,
Copy !req
891. I'll take on any guy
in the house.
Copy !req
892. They're great.
Thanks a lot. Thank you. .
Copy !req
893. He's killing them.
Copy !req
894. I can't get enough of this guy.
Copy !req
895. Call the boys in Vegas.
Copy !req
896. Tell them we got the guy
for their opening.
Copy !req
897. Oh, you were great, champ.
Copy !req
898. Thanks a lot, thanks.
Is my car ready?
Copy !req
899. Actually, I made us some
reservations at the pump room.
Copy !req
900. I got a business
proposition for you.
Copy !req
901. Hey, that's real swell of you,
but I got to get home.
Copy !req
902. I got my whole family waitin' on me.
You got my, uh...
Copy !req
903. Terrific.
Copy !req
904. $4,000. In cash,
like you requested.
Copy !req
905. Uh, no offense. It's not that
I don't trust you, but...
Copy !req
906. No, no, it's all there. Listen,
I know you're in a rush,
Copy !req
907. but, uh, I got
a few friends in Vegas.
Copy !req
908. They're in a little bit
of a bind.
Copy !req
909. I'm sorry to hear that.
Copy !req
910. They need somebody for their
casino opening tonight.
Copy !req
911. There'd be a fee, of course.
Copy !req
912. To tell you, pal, I'd love to,
but I swore to my wife...
Copy !req
913. $25,000.
Copy !req
914. Cash?
Copy !req
915. Allie? Why don't you
take care of this one.
Copy !req
916. Again?
Copy !req
917. Allie, take care of this.
Copy !req
918. Say, Allie, look at that little
guy at the end of the counter.
Copy !req
919. Who, the busboy?
Copy !req
920. That ain't no busboy.
That's lightnin' Lou ambers.
Copy !req
921. The ex-lightweight
champion?
Copy !req
922. Yeah.
Come on.
Copy !req
923. Hey, you boys done?
Copy !req
924. Yeah, say, Mac, your name
lightning Lou ambers?
Copy !req
925. Who wants to...
Hey, you're rocky marciano!
Copy !req
926. Lou ambers.
Good to meet you.
Copy !req
927. Good to meet you, too.
Yeah.
Copy !req
928. Yeah.
Copy !req
929. This is my buddy,
Allie colombo.
Copy !req
930. Hey, how's it going?
Copy !req
931. Good. I remember you
from when we were kids.
Copy !req
932. Swell, swell, real swell.
How's it going, champ?
Copy !req
933. Never better.
Never better.
Copy !req
934. Terrific.
Copy !req
935. You mind me askin'
what you're doin' here?
Copy !req
936. What, here?
It ain't so bad.
Copy !req
937. Pays the bills,
get to meet some good people.
Copy !req
938. Sure. Sure.
Copy !req
939. Al weill used to manage you,
right?
Copy !req
940. Well, let's just say I paid
for his house and 3 cars.
Copy !req
941. So he handled your money?
Copy !req
942. Oh, he handled it all right.
Copy !req
943. Didn't do such a good job, huh?
Copy !req
944. Oh, it wasn't his fault.
Copy !req
945. I was going through dough
like Hitler through Poland.
Copy !req
946. You know how it is. You... you... you
sign a deal when you're young,
Copy !req
947. it ends up chasin' you around
the rest of your life, huh?
Copy !req
948. You-you're tellin' me you've got
nothin' left from bein' champ?
Copy !req
949. I got memories, kid.
A lot of great memories.
Copy !req
950. And a case of the clap I can't
get rid of for the life of me.
Copy !req
951. I'll see you.
Copy !req
952. Take it easy.
Copy !req
953. It ain't right, Allie.
Copy !req
954. Guy like that fights
all those years,
Copy !req
955. he's got nothin'
to show for it?
Copy !req
956. What do you got?
Come on, pony up.
Copy !req
957. That's what I got.
Copy !req
958. I'll give it to him.
Copy !req
959. Say, Lou. It ain't much, but it's all we got.
Throw that in your kick.
Copy !req
960. You snotty little wops.
Copy !req
961. Oh.
Copy !req
962. I was lightweight champion
of the world, 1936!
Copy !req
963. Where the fuck do you get off?
Copy !req
964. Lou, I don't mean
to insult you...
Copy !req
965. I fuckin' work for a lmng!
Copy !req
966. I don't need your charity.
Get the hell out of here!
Copy !req
967. I'm sorry if we offended you...
Copy !req
968. I'm Lou ambers,
Copy !req
969. lightweight champion
of the world!
Copy !req
970. I'm not a charity case,
you bums!
Copy !req
971. I'm Lou fucking ambers!
Copy !req
972. You know, I ain't surprised..
Copy !req
973. Ambers was always
a little proud.
Copy !req
974. Punchy but proud.
Copy !req
975. I just can't believe
an ex-champ winds up
Copy !req
976. slingin' hash.
It's degrading.
Copy !req
977. Yeah? I got news
for you.
Copy !req
978. Worse can happen.
Copy !req
979. Say, this can't be.
Copy !req
980. Now, we saw him
just the other night.
Copy !req
981. He... he was buying drinks
and everything.
Copy !req
982. It seems the bomber
got himself into a corner
Copy !req
983. he can't box out of.
Copy !req
984. Says here he's into the I.R.S.
For a cool million!
Copy !req
985. Not counting the $500,000
that he's defaulted on loans,
Copy !req
986. $200,000 in alimony to his ex.
Copy !req
987. It's a long list.
Copy !req
988. This don't make sense.
Copy !req
989. He was champ for a dozen years.
Copy !req
990. He was fightin' for the big
paydays since the 30's.
Copy !req
991. Not to mention all the
businesses and advertisements.
Copy !req
992. Yeah. Millions of dollars
and no sense.
Copy !req
993. Hey, Freddy! Try this on!
Copy !req
994. I got the other papers
right in front of me, right.
Copy !req
995. I'm gonna take a look.
Copy !req
996. I want my money.
Copy !req
997. What are you going on about?
Copy !req
998. I'll call you back.
Copy !req
999. My half. The half you've been
investing for me. I want it.
Copy !req
1000. What, do you need some
walking-around money? $50, $100?
Copy !req
1001. I'm not talkin'
about chump change.
Copy !req
1002. I'm talkin' about my half.
Copy !req
1003. What's going on, Allie?
Copy !req
1004. The man wants his money, Al.
Copy !req
1005. Show me my file.
Copy !req
1006. Your file?
Copy !req
1007. There ain't no file.
It's all up here.
Copy !req
1008. Hey, I got to answer to you, you
ungrateful son of a bitch?
Copy !req
1009. It's the other way around, pal!
Copy !req
1010. I signed you when
no one would touch you!
Copy !req
1011. I want my money, God damn it!
Copy !req
1012. Easy now, easy.
Copy !req
1013. It ain't all in one place,
you know.
Copy !req
1014. I got it spread around
in investments.
Copy !req
1015. Like what?
Copy !req
1016. Well, we got $60,000 in an
apartment building in the Bronx.
Copy !req
1017. I trusted you with my money
and you put it in the Bronx?
Copy !req
1018. Hey, come on, you knew we were
investing in real estate.
Copy !req
1019. Don't act so innocent.
Copy !req
1020. I want out.
Copy !req
1021. Well, you can't get out.
Copy !req
1022. We used the apartments
as collateral
Copy !req
1023. for the parking lots
in Syracuse.
Copy !req
1024. Syracuse?
Copy !req
1025. Which are tied into development
properties in Florida,
Copy !req
1026. overseen by the partnership
in Maine.
Copy !req
1027. Oh, skip the birdseed, weill!
What am I worth in cash?
Copy !req
1028. Well, things didn't pan out
exactly as I'd hoped.
Copy !req
1029. Just give me a few months,
I got a couple of...
Copy !req
1030. Cash me out! I'll handle my
own finances from now on.
Copy !req
1031. You? What do you know
about money?
Copy !req
1032. I know what I don't got!
Copy !req
1033. All right, fine.
You want it, you got it.
Copy !req
1034. I still get half of everything you
make for the rest of your life.
Copy !req
1035. Yeah, yeah,
don't worry about it!
Copy !req
1036. Just worry about my title shot.
Copy !req
1037. Did you even call up
ezzard Charles' people yet?
Copy !req
1038. Title shot? You fought lastarza
like you were wearing a skirt!
Copy !req
1039. He won that fight, all right?
Copy !req
1040. Well, tell that
to your friend, carbo!
Copy !req
1041. He's the one pullin'
the strings, right?
Copy !req
1042. And I'll tell you
one thing, though.
Copy !req
1043. We're lucky if they even call
us before November, December.
Copy !req
1044. I'm not fightin'
till the end of the year?
Copy !req
1045. That's right.
Copy !req
1046. Oh, no, Al.
No, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
1047. Set me up with a... with an exhibition
or some... call those wrestling people.
Copy !req
1048. Wrestling? What's the matter with you?
Are you outta your mind?
Copy !req
1049. It's like stepping over
dollars to pick up a dime.
Copy !req
1050. Crooked again.
Copy !req
1051. You know why the ball
goes crooked?
Copy !req
1052. 'Cause you don't got
those oyster shells
Copy !req
1053. to make it roll straight,
right?
Copy !req
1054. How you know that?
Copy !req
1055. You told me
when I was little, pop.
Copy !req
1056. Listen, pop, I gotta talk
to you about something.
Copy !req
1057. Sure.
What's on your mind, rocco?
Copy !req
1058. Well, it turns out I don't have
as much money saved as I thought
Copy !req
1059. and I didn't clear what I expected
from the lastarza fight.
Copy !req
1060. What's wrong?
Copy !req
1061. I just don't think you ought to give
notice at the factory just yet.
Copy !req
1062. And, uh, as far as
payin' off the house,
Copy !req
1063. maybe we ought to hold off
on that as well.
Copy !req
1064. It's just temporary,
you understand,
Copy !req
1065. but I'm makin' some investments
and tryin' some things out.
Copy !req
1066. With the money I got right
now, I... i don't...
Copy !req
1067. It's ok, rocco.
I understand.
Copy !req
1068. Do you, pop?
Copy !req
1069. Sure. Sure.
Copy !req
1070. Thanks, pop.
Copy !req
1071. Well, you know, I never would
have asked you, right?
Copy !req
1072. But those Brooks brothers jerks
down at every bank downtown.
Copy !req
1073. They say I don't have the
collateral for a loan that size.
Copy !req
1074. So I says to them, "if I had
the fucking collateral,
Copy !req
1075. I wouldn't need
the fuckin' loan."
Copy !req
1076. It's tough doin' business
with people you don't know.
Copy !req
1077. Which is why
I'm gonna help you out.
Copy !req
1078. No shit? You'll do it?
Copy !req
1079. Yeah, but let me make it clear.
This isn't a loan.
Copy !req
1080. I'm investing in your business.
Copy !req
1081. Hey, all I want
is $5,000, rock.
Copy !req
1082. You get $7,500
back in 10 weeks.
Copy !req
1083. And 5 percent of the take.
Copy !req
1084. And you won't be sorry.
It's gonna be real classy.
Copy !req
1085. Like, I-I'm gonna add another dining
room and expand the kitchen.
Copy !req
1086. I got my eye
on this chef from Boston...
Copy !req
1087. Eddie, my father eats here
for free.
Copy !req
1088. Sure, rock.
Where do I sign?
Copy !req
1089. We don't sign.
Copy !req
1090. The minute I put anything
down on paper,
Copy !req
1091. my thieving manager comes
around for his 50 percent.
Copy !req
1092. This is between you and me.
Copy !req
1093. It's between you and me.
Copy !req
1094. Give me a cup of coffee.
Copy !req
1095. Hello.
Copy !req
1096. Hi, Barb?
Copy !req
1097. Hey. Where are you?
Copy !req
1098. I'm in Chicago.
Copy !req
1099. All right, rocky!
Copy !req
1100. What are you still doin' there? I
thought you were comin' home. .
Copy !req
1101. Uh, yeah, I know what I said, but
I... i gotta go to Vegas first.
Copy !req
1102. I'll be home in plenty
of time for tomorrow. .
Copy !req
1103. Come on, baby. You know how
much this means to me.
Copy !req
1104. Barb, this is
the last time ever, I promise.
Copy !req
1105. This is the big one.
Copy !req
1106. $25,000, cash. That's enough
to put us where we wanna be.
Copy !req
1107. I just want us to be together.
Copy !req
1108. We will be.
Copy !req
1109. Film of Joe
Louis' statement to the press.
Copy !req
1110. Prior to his hospitalization
in Denver. .
Copy !req
1111. I never did
nothin' to nobody. .
Copy !req
1112. Um, Barbara, I'm late.
I gotta go. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1113. So I didn't understand.
Copy !req
1114. Why all these tricks was
bein' played on me. .
Copy !req
1115. I'm bein' locked up here.
Copy !req
1116. For reasons
other than you think. .
Copy !req
1117. I just want
certain people to know.
Copy !req
1118. That they're
the real ones who need help. .
Copy !req
1119. Another fighter
pays the steep price, life...
Copy !req
1120. So, you hear about Louis?
Copy !req
1121. Oh, yeah, it's a shame.
He's a hell of a guy.
Copy !req
1122. Yeah.
Copy !req
1123. I can't believe a guy like that
winds up in some loony bin.
Copy !req
1124. You know, after everything he did for
the government during the war,
Copy !req
1125. then they gotta turn around and
take every last penny he's got?
Copy !req
1126. I'll tell you, rock.
Copy !req
1127. You were smart to get out
of it when you did.
Copy !req
1128. Did we pass Denver yet?
Copy !req
1129. Congratulations, rock!
Copy !req
1130. Go, Barbara!
Copy !req
1131. Hey, rocky!
Only one piece, right?
Copy !req
1132. I'm surprised he doesn't want
50 percent of the cake, too.
Copy !req
1133. Yeah. They gotta make a new
class for me, Al. Overweight.
Copy !req
1134. I'd like to propose
a toast to the newlyweds!
Copy !req

from bell to bell.
Copy !req
1136. To life!
Copy !req
1137. Drink, drink, drink.
Copy !req
1138. Uh, rocky,
Copy !req
1139. Rocky, you, uh, you got yourself
a beautiful bride there.
Copy !req
1140. And Barbara. What can I say?
Copy !req
1141. You'd have been
better off buyin' a dog.
Copy !req
1142. No, no, no,
seriously, though, Barbara,
Copy !req
1143. I would like
to officially welcome you
Copy !req
1144. as the newest cornerman
in the marciano camp.
Copy !req
1145. As we slug our way to the
heavyweight title of the world!
Copy !req
1146. Rocky, you're gonna do it!
Copy !req
1147. Oh, and, uh,
while we're on the subject,
Copy !req
1148. I would like
to tell everybody here
Copy !req
1149. that just a few moments ago,
I received a phone call
Copy !req
1150. formalizing rocky marciano's
next bout.
Copy !req
1151. All right. 3 months from tonight,
in Madison square garden,
Copy !req
1152. the brockton blockbuster
will face
Copy !req
1153. none other than the legendary
brown bomber, Joe Louis!
Copy !req
1154. Go get him, rocco..
Copy !req
1155. How could you
do this to me, Al?
Copy !req
1156. Look, look. Louis
retired with the belt.
Copy !req
1157. The second he unretired, they made
him the number one contender.
Copy !req
1158. This is an opportunity
you cannot pass up.
Copy !req
1159. No, listen, walcott, Charles.
Anybody but Louis!
Copy !req
1160. Fighting Louis is the only way
Copy !req
1161. you'll get them to forget
about the lastarza mess.
Copy !req
1162. I beat lastarza!
Copy !req
1163. You want a shot at the title?
Yeah.
Copy !req
1164. Fine. Beat Louis.
Copy !req
1165. Beat Louis? I'm not even
gonna fight Louis.
Copy !req
1166. Listen, you ungrateful punk,
Copy !req
1167. this is not about you,
what you want.
Copy !req
1168. I've got a lot invested in you
and it's time I got paid.
Copy !req
1169. You don't wanna fight Louis?
Fine..
Copy !req
1170. You go down there and you tell your
family you're finished with boxing
Copy !req
1171. and you're movin' back home.
Copy !req
1172. Maybe you can take your old
man's job at the shoe factory.
Copy !req
1173. Beautiful wedding,
Mrs. marchegiano.
Copy !req
1174. Complimenti. .
Copy !req
1175. What's goin' on, huh?
Copy !req
1176. I don't know how much clearer I could be.
I gotta start trainin' now.
Copy !req
1177. Yeah, but the fight's not for 3
months, and we just got married.
Copy !req
1178. Most people who just got married
go on a goddamn honeymoon!
Copy !req
1179. Yeah, well, most people
don't have to fight Joe Louis!
Copy !req
1180. Pop, I gotta go to the camp.
Copy !req
1181. Sit with me for a moment, huh?
Copy !req
1182. I gotta go.
I gotta leave.
Copy !req
1183. It's for you.
Copy !req
1184. I gotta go.
Copy !req
1185. Well, now, me and the others are
stayin' here in the main house.
Copy !req
1186. See the cottage over there?
That's for you.
Copy !req
1187. I want you should have your rest, you know.
Your privacy. Whatever.
Copy !req
1188. And, um, that's your, uh,
gym equipment over here.
Copy !req
1189. Look, regulation ring.
The works.
Copy !req
1190. Yeah, and you got the prince
of wales comin' up to spar.
Copy !req
1191. How much of this is
comin' out of my end?
Copy !req
1192. Nothin'. Carbo made a deal
with the owners.
Copy !req
1193. What, he agreed not to bump 'em
off if they packed up and left?
Copy !req
1194. I still wanna see
all the bills.
Copy !req
1195. This is the only
time Louis got knocked out..
Copy !req
1196. See how he drops his left?
Copy !req
1197. Look how he leaves himself wide
open for the overhand right.
Copy !req
1198. You try to outbox Louis,
he'll tear your head off.
Copy !req
1199. You gotta stay low and close.
Copy !req
1200. Never let him catch you
in the center of the ring.
Copy !req
1201. You let him stay a foot and a
half away, he'll murder you.
Copy !req
1202. And when that opening
finally comes,
Copy !req
1203. you gotta throw that right
hand with everything you got.
Copy !req
1204. That's enough, Allie.
Copy !req
1205. No, Allie.
Let it run.
Copy !req
1206. I want to see this one, too.
Copy !req
1207. This don't mean nothin'.
It was a 1,000 years ago.
Copy !req
1208. Oh, yeah..
Copy !req
1209. He's still the best boxer
that ever lived.
Copy !req
1210. You give him half a chance, he'll carve
you up like a thanksgmn' bird.
Copy !req
1211. Goodnight, Irene.
Copy !req
1212. Give me another mile.
One more mile..
Copy !req
1213. Time, time. Time!
Copy !req

brockton Eddie.
Copy !req
1223. What about him?
Copy !req
1224. He's into me deep and I ain't
seen a dime in months.
Copy !req
1225. Put it out of your head. Ain't
nothing you can do about it now.
Copy !req
1226. Yeah, but you can.
Copy !req
1227. What are you
talking about, rock?
Copy !req
1228. I want you to go home
to brockton.
Copy !req
1229. I want you to get me my money.
Copy !req
1230. What are you talking about,
rocco?
Copy !req
1231. I'm helping you get ready
for a fight here.
Copy !req
1232. Best thing you can do to help me
is to go home and get my money.
Copy !req
1233. Why are you talkin' to me like that?
Get me my money!
Copy !req
1234. Rock. Hey, rocco.

Copy !req
1319. And tonight he surely faces

1320. There've been stories,
rumors really,
Copy !req
1321. That rocky's dangerous manager Al
weill set up this fight for him.

Copy !req
1352. Get inside.
Get inside.
Copy !req
1353. It looks like rocky's plan is to
try and stay inside on Louis. .
Copy !req
1354. Jack sharkey tried that in '36
and he didn't last 3 rounds. .
Copy !req
1355. Oh, come on, baby.

1363. Goddamn.
Kid came to fight.
Copy !req
1364. You just went 3 minutes with the
greatest boxer who ever lived.
Copy !req
1365. How does it feel?
Copy !req
1366. Like I got hit by a truck.
Copy !req
1367. He's so fast, I can't see half
of his punches comin', Charlie.
Copy !req
1368. Well, you know what the cure
for that is, don't you?
Copy !req
1369. Hit him before he hits you!
Copy !req
1370. Here we go with round 2. .
Copy !req
1371. So far, it's anybody's fight.
Copy !req
1372. He's in here.
Copy !req
1373. According to
my unofficial scorecard,
Copy !req
1374. After 6 rounds,
Louis is slightly ahead. .
Copy !req
1375. But as the rounds mount up,
Copy !req
1376. Marciano seems
to be getting stronger.
Copy !req
1377. Louis caught marciano
with that one. It's hurt him. .
Copy !req
1378. He hangs in there, but that punch
caught marciano by surprise. .
Copy !req
1379. He's hurt me.
He's hurt me.
Copy !req
1380. He's lettin' his left drop. Hang a few
upstairs, and let's get this over with.
Copy !req
1381. He's dead on his feet, rock..
Copy !req
1382. One good shot's
all it's gonna take.
Copy !req
1383. One good shot.
Copy !req
1384. And Louis is down!
Louis is down!
Copy !req
1385. The crowd is on
its feet screaming. .
Copy !req
1386. Go to the corner!
Copy !req
1387. A devastating left
from marciano...
Copy !req
1388. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
Copy !req
1389. You all right, Joe?
Copy !req
1390. And it's over!
Copy !req
1391. Marciano has done it!
Copy !req
1392. We win! We win!
Rocco beat Louis!
Copy !req
1393. Rock, is it really you?
Copy !req
1394. It's me, Joe.
Copy !req
1395. What happened?
Copy !req
1396. You punch hard, kid.
Copy !req
1397. I need to ask you a question..
Copy !req
1398. What happened to me?
Copy !req
1399. I'm sorry, Joe.
Copy !req
1400. I... i never wanted
to have this fight.
Copy !req
1401. I never wanted to fight you.
Copy !req
1402. I'd... if it was 10 years ago,
I wouldn't have...
Copy !req
1403. You would've been a match.
Copy !req
1404. You're gonna win
that title, marciano.
Copy !req
1405. I got no doubt.
Copy !req
1406. You're a winner.
Copy !req
1407. But let me tell you somethin'.
Copy !req
1408. I won, rock.
Copy !req
1409. I won
Copy !req
1410. till I had nothin' left
in my life but winnin'.

Copy !req
1412. I won all my money gone,
Copy !req
1413. my family.
Copy !req
1414. You got people who love you?
Copy !req
1415. Yeah.
Copy !req
1416. Don't ever let 'em go.
Copy !req
1417. They say you're crazy.
Copy !req
1418. I ain't crazy.
Copy !req
