Rocky V

Ladies and gentlemen...

We're in Moscow, in the Soviet Union,

and this promises to be the most watched event in boxing history.

I must break you.

Throw your right!

He just will not let him out of that corner!

Rocky!

Rocky Balboa is in serious trouble.

He's getting killed out there!

Drago continuing to punish Rocky Balboa.

- No pain! - No pain.

- No pain. - No pain!

Rocky's been hit with bombs. Rocky's hurt!

Right hand from Drago sends Rocky Balboa 15 feet across the ring!

The champ is down!

Rock! Get up!

It's been a one-sided fight so far.

And Drago throws a hard right hand that stuns Rocky Balboa.

They might have to stop this one before somebody gets killed.

Rocky taking punishment. He is completely exhausted!

And Balboa goes down again from the right hand.

Lethal punch after punch. Amazing will power!

Balboa has taken Ivan Drago's best punches so far.

He's cut, and he's bleeding.

What's happening out there?

I see three of him out there.

- Hit the one in the middle. - Right! Hit the one in the middle!

Hit him!

Go!

To the ground like a wrestler!

It's a gutter war! No holds barred in Moscow!

All your strength! All your power!

Everything you've got! This is your whole life here!

And a big right hand by Rocky Balboa!

Rocky Balboa has done the impossible!

Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky!

Aw, man. I never saw nothing like it!

Came through like the champ you are!

Did yourself and everybody proud!

Especially...Apollo!

Yo, Tony...

Yeah, what is it, baby? What do you need?

Get Adrian.

Rocky?

How's every...body doing out there?

Everybody, oh-- everything's okay.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Remember when Mick... said when he was fighting,

sometimes he'd fight so hard

that he was thinking that he broke something inside,

and he was gonna...die?

And that's what he said.

That's when the angels was pulling on him.

Rocky, you're scaring me. I don't--what's your problem?

Adrian, I can't.

Can't what?

I can't stop my hands from shaking.

I ain't never felt this thing.

We gotta see a doctor.

- No, I just want to go home. - No.

- And not see a doctor? - I'm just tired.

I just--I just want to go home, Mick.

I'm just tired.

Okay.

I just want to go home, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Adrian, where's the kid?

I don't know.

I don't see the kid.

Where's the kid?

Ain't he here?

Dad! Dad!

There he is! There he is! Hey, slugger!

How you doing? Say hi to your mom!

- Hi, Mom! - I'm forgotten now.

Hi, Uncle Paulie.

- Dad, how you feeling? - I got a few little dents.

How you doing in school?

- I made the honor roll. - Yo, beautiful!

Hi, I'm Sheila Downs, Airport Security. Welcome home.

If you follow me, there's a press reception inside.

Rocky! How did you feel about the Russian people in general?

You know, very good. They was great people.

I mean, I didn't understand what they was speaking all the time,

but I think I understood what they was meanin', you know.

Mrs. Balboa, did you learn any Russian?

- Uh, did I learn Russ-- - She got fluent in vodka.

Rocky!

There are rumors of physical complications after the fight.

- Complications? - No, no, those...

Those were rumors. He's in perfect physical condition.

Rocky, a question. Recently, the American Medical Association

recommended that boxing be banned.

- Yeah? - Do you agree with the doctors?

Yeah. You know, absolutely.

I think that doctors should never fight. No.

That was a beautiful answer, champ! That's right!

Doctors should stay out of the ring! Doctors should never fight!

They should stay out of the ring forever!

Rocky Balboa, the funniest champion ever!

America's own Rocky Balboa! How are ya? How are ya?

George Washington Duke here,

promoter "extraordinaire,"

welcoming back Rocky Balboa,

champion of all the Americans and all the Russians.

I would like to digress from the questions a bit

and pose an interesting proposition to the media.

Everyone in this city, certainly in the world of sports,

knows my reputation for promoting

some of the finest extravaganzas in this country.

Now, with the press present,

I'd like to ask you, Rocky Balboa,

to be the flamboyant, rambunctious sportsman

we know you can be,

and give this man here, Union Cane, a chance to challenge you

for the Heavyweight Championship of the World!

Balboa, I want the opportunity to take what you got.

Isn't this bad timing to present a challenger, Duke?

The man just got off the plane.

Timing is the essence of life, gentlemen and--and ladies.

Now, what I have on this paper is the largest guarantee

ever offered to a champion on this planet.

I'm talking about a fantastic international extravaganza

to be held in Japan, called "Lettin' it Go in Tokyo!"

People, ain't it incredible that only in America

could people like us rise from oppression, rise from poverty,

to join hands in this international event?

- Excuse me. - Only in America!

Excuse me. My husband is retired.

He has nothing more to prove.

Wait a minute!

Rocky, don't you consider this a public responsibility

to respond now rather than later?

Respond to the people.

Isn't this a question of professionalism,

to talk about it now, not later?

You mind if I heal first?

The whipping you got ain't nothing like what I got here for you!

What the hell does this all mean?

No, that isn't enough. We gotta hear about this now!

Gotta think about that. So, anyway, I want to tell everybody

that the flight over was...

...really nice.

Come on, guys, we need more!

Adrian, if you weren't with me, I never would have done as good.

You're my Adrian. You're always there, you know.

And my kid--having you is like being born all over again.

Come on, what do you say? Are you gonna retire or not?

Excuse me. I'd like to go home.

Are you gonna give us something to write?

Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

No!

Don't worry. You'll get him.

You'll get him.

Well, no, really, it's great.

Ahh, yo!

Look at this place!

I swear I ain't never leaving this place again, you know that?

I swear! Hey--

Would you like to dance? Huh?

How about a homecoming dance with your old man?

- No, don't be silly. It's cold! - I'll warm you up, young lady.

Hurry up. The music's almost over.

- You like this song? - You should rest.

- Yeah, I know. - I'm tired. Come on.

Yeah? Well, maybe I'll take you upstairs and violate you like a parking meter.

Cost you a quarter.

Yo, Adrian! Where'd you learn to talk dirty like that?

Hey, Uncle Paulie, you notice something strange about Dad?

He just took, uh, a few hard shots.

I think you tell better jokes than me, Adrian.

Yo, did I hear somebody call for their old man?

Did you do this?

Sleep time, kid, okay?

Dad, did you know that your bones

grow three times as fast during the night?

No, I didn't know that, but I heard something like that.

Is--Is that me?

- Oh, yeah, that's you. - Excellent!

- Is that me? - Yeah.

- When we was fishing, right? - Yeah.

That's beautiful! Look at the tent...

You know, the fish was a lot bigger, if I recall.

Actually, that was a lot smaller.

Anyway, come on, hit the bed.

It's time for you to get healthy and everything.

This is great, how you do this.

I don't know where you learned this.

This is something, how this thing comes out of your fingers...

Oh, my God... Oh, my God...

Who is this?

That's Madame Dupont, my French teacher.

Really?
