Rocky Balboa

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky...

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky...

Yet another quick knockout for Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory.

The fans let him know how they feel about it.

Hide the women and children. This could get ugly.

This crowd does nothing to hide its anger over this latest debacle.

The fans are mad as hell. They don't want to take it anymore.

They seem to be blaming Dixon, a good fighter, for the decline,

not only of the heavyweight division guys,

but of the entire sport.

They're pelting the undefeated heavyweight champion

of the world with ice.

Maybe this angry, visceral reaction

will pressure Dixon to fight someone

who can fight back for a change, if there's somebody out there.

All of boxing is hoping for a warrior

who thrills us with his passion.

Time goes by too fast.

Eh, not fast enough.

Your kid should've been here.

- That's all right, Paulie. - No, it ain't all right.

The kid gets a little busy sometimes.

He don't get that busy.

Let's not talk about it here.

You're coming tonight, right?

I'm working. I took the "tour" the last three years.

I know, but it's the anniversary.

Fine. You got my word.

Thank you. I owe you.

Robert. Where have you been? You're late.

I don't want to hear this.

Your job performance is not nearly good enough to be pulling this.

I don't give a damn who your father is. Understand?

All right. Now get out of here.

Thank you, sir.

Yo, Robert.

- Yo. - Hey, Rocky.

- How you doing? - Hey.

What's up, champ?

You caught me off guard.

I know. I wanted to catch you before you got too busy.

Yeah, it gets busy up there.

- So how you doing? - Real good.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Yo, Rock.

How you doing?

Yeah, real good.

Listen, you wanna go out and get some coffee?

I'm kind of behind. Maybe later?

That would be great.

Come by the restaurant tonight. I'll have something made special for you.

Tonight I can't. I've got plans. A few of the guys getting together.

Did I do something wrong?

What do you mean?

Well, I don't know exactly what I mean, but...

I just think that when I come here, you don't feel so comfortable.

And I certainly don't wanna do that.

Well, you throw a big shadow.

A big shadow?

You're not gonna get anything done down here, Robert.

Well, if you won't introduce me, I will.

- Hi, I'm William Tomilson. - How you doing?

Your son has the misfortune of working for me.

- It's a good job. - Yeah.

I've told Robert about 20 times that I wanted to meet you.

But I guess you're pretty busy, which isn't a bad thing, is it?

- I get a little tied up. - Grab a shot, will you?

I may not get this chance again.

Us old warhorses have to stick together, don't we?

- The old horses, yeah. - I'll tell you.

Oh! It's a good thing it's not your left.

This makes you very popular with people.

One, two, three.

Finally, we meet. Well, I have to go. It was nice to meet you face-to-face.

Take care of yourself. Robert, I'll see you later.

I gotta get going. Um, I'll change my plans for tonight.

That would be great. I'm looking forward to it.

- How you doing? - Okay.

Okay.

And do not let those numbers drive you crazy.

Too late.

Use an eraser and get rid of all of them.

- Hey, guys, how you doing? - Hey, Rock.

Here you go.

It'll be about ten tenths. You guys take care. Okay?

I'll try a few of these later on.

Is good for baking.

Paul, what's the cost?

- Fifty-eight-forty, sir. - Take it out of that. I trust you.

You're too generous.

Not a problem.

How you guys doing?

How we doing, Isabel?

Eh, okay, except for the freebie reading the Bible over there.

Ah, he's okay.

Just because you fought him don't mean you gotta feed him forever.

He doesn't even look like a fighter.

Spider Rico could hit.

How's your stomach?

Uh, okay.

If you keep rubbing olive oil on your stomach,

the kid'll be born very strong.

- Whatever you say. - Really.

How you doing, Spider?

God bless you, Rocky.

Thanks.

How you guys doing?

Jose. Can you make something special for my kid who's coming tonight?

No problemo.

I appreciate it.

Back and forth, give and take.

And then I went in there like an animal and threw him into the corner

and I unloaded everything I had, hook, hook, hook, left, left, left.

But Creed kept busting me back pretty good,

and the agony began to pile up.

Then I heard the best sound I ever heard in my life...

The bell.

That's right, the bell.

And I ain't never been so tired, and I'm sitting in my corner

trying to figure out how to survive the last round,

when Mickey leans into my ear and says,

"Get out there and fight this guy hard, you bum.

You gotta be first." I said "Mick. If I could..."

I would.

"I would." The end.

Hello, Adrian's. Yeah?

Tell him you can't make it? Yeah, I'll give him the message.

I didn't know how to train there 'cause I was just, you know, alone.

Usually, I would have my wife with me. Excuse me.

Your son said he can't make it. He said he had to take a rain check.

Okay.

Where was I?

I can't Rocko, I got responsibilities.

Come on, we do it every year, Paulie.

- I can't, Rocko. - Sure, you can.

- If you want to, you can. - I can't, Rocko.

Hey, Ravi. Who's watching the east side?

I checked it 1 5 minutes ago.

Oh, you like to move around fast, don't you?

And your friend needs to wear the hairnet too.

USDA regulation.

You wise guy, immigrant son of a...

- Put this on, please. - I got to wear a net?

- Eh, I'm gonna get in trouble. - All right.

I don't want you getting in no trouble, all right?

But you know what I told you last year.

Yeah, but, you know, I want you with me.

Hey, if the place gets robbed, who's blamed?

Come on, Paulie, nobody's robbing cows in Philly no more.

Just for a few hours. It's just good talking about the old days.

Sometimes talking old day's stuff ain't so good.

What do you think of this?

I'm gonna be selling them.

It's nice.

- You know, it's depressing. - What is?

I'm here 31 freaking years...

and they're grooming some goofy guy

that grew up scrubbing elephants to take my job.

Oh, you can't take living alone, can you?

What did you say?

You heard me.

You know, Paulie, you just got a way of just sticking it in and twisting.

Yo.

A few hours, that's it.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

That's good, I appreciate it. Thank you.

I remember when we got married in this place.

And after that, I carried her all the way home.

Remember that?

That was really... something.

That was something.

Don't these birds look like flying candy?

Hey, birdie, you wanna fly me home?

You need somebody to walk you home?

It's a cold night. We need a few laughs in our life. What do you think? Maybe?

Maybe?

Maybe?

Let's get out of here. Okay?

That place ain't changed much from last year.

Are we done?

How you doing, Mick?

That sign is falling apart, Paulie.

The whole world is falling apart. Look at us.

Don't talk crazy.

You know, I think if you live someplace long enough, you are that place.

I ain't no talking building.

It's getting late, Rocko.

I get a headache from this train.

I remember when she was standing there...

all nervous and shy, with this little smile.

All I wanted her to do was trust me.

She did.

She did.

Are you done?

How long are we staying here?

Not long.
