Rocky V

Ladies and gentlemen!

We're in Moscow, in the Soviet Union.

This promises to be the most-watched event in boxing history.

I must break you.

Throw your right!

He will not let him out of that corner.

Rocky!

Rocky Balboa is in serious trouble.

He's getting killed!

Drago continuing to punish Rocky Balboa.

No pain! No pain.

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

The right hand from Drago sends Rocky Balboa 15 feet across the ring.

The champ is down.

Rocky, Get up!

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

Drago throws a hard right hand and stuns Rocky Balboa!

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

Rocky taking punishment! He's completely exhausted.

Balboa goes down again from a right hand!

Lethal punch after punch. Amazing willpower!

Rocky Balboa has taken all of Drago's best punches.

He's cut and 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!

The Russian's cut! Kill him!

To the ground like a wrestler! It's a gutter war.

No holds barred in Moscow!

All your strength, power. Everything you've got.

This is your whole life!

A good right hand by Rocky Balboa!

Rocky Balboa has done the impossible!

Rocky! Rocky!

I never saw nothing like it.

You came through like the champ you are. Did yourself and everybody proud.

Especially Apollo!

Yo, Tony. What is it, baby? What do you need?

Get Adrian.

How's everybody doing out there?

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 he broke something inside...

and he was gonna die?

That's what he said when the angels was pulling on him.

Rocky, you're scaring me.

What's wrong?

Adrian, I can't.

Can't what?

I...I can't stop my hands from shaking.

I never felt this thing. We've gotta see a doctor.

No. No, I just wanna go home. Home?

Yeah. Not see a doctor?

I'm just tired. I just wanna go home, Mick.

I'm just tired.

I just wanna go home, okay?

Adrian, where's the kid? I don't know.

I don't see the kid. Where's the kid? Aingt he here?

Dad! Dad!

There he is! Hey, Slugger! How you doing?

Say hi to your mom.

I'm forgotten now? Hi, Uncle Paulie.

Dad, how you feeling? I got a few dents. How's school?

I made the honor roll. Beautiful!

I'm Sheila Downs, Airport Security. Welcome. There's a press reception.

Rocky, how did you feel about the Russian people in general?

Very good. They was great people.

I didn't understand what they was speaking...

but I understood what they was meaning.

Mrs. Balboa, did you learn any Russian? Did I learn Russian?

She got fluent in vodka.

There are rumors of physical complications after the fight.

Complications? No!

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

Rocky, the American Medical Association recommended boxing be banned.

Do you agree with the doctors? Yeah.

Absolutely. I think that doctors should never fight.

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

Doctors should stay out of the ring forever, and never fight.

Rocky Balboa, the funkiest champion ever.

American's own Rocky Balboa. How are you?

George Washington Duke here. Promoter extraordinaire...

welcoming back Rocky Balboa, champion of all the Americans and Russians!

I would like to digress and pose an interesting proposition to the media.

Everyone in this city...

and in sports knows my reputation for promoting...

some of the finest extravaganzas in this country.

So, 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? He just got off the plane!

Timing is the essence of life, gentlemen and ladies.

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 "Letting It Go in Tokyo."

People, aingt it incredible that only in America...

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

to join hands in this international event?

Excuse me. Only in America!

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 aingt nothing like what I got here for you.

What in the hell does this all mean? That isn't enough. We gotta hear now.

I got to think about that.

Anyway, the flight over was really nice.

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. 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.

Give us something to write! Thank you, I appreciate it.

No!

Don't worry. You'll get him. You'll get him.

No, really, it's...

Ah, yo! Look at this place!

I swear I aingt never leaving this place again, you know that?

Hey, would you like to dance?

How about a homecoming dance? Don't be silly, it's cold.

I'll warm you up, young lady.

Hurry up. The music's almost over.

You're like the song... You should rest.

I know. I'm tired. Come on.

Maybe I'll take you upstairs and violate you like a parking meter.

Cost you a quarter. Where'd you learn to talk dirty?

Uncle Paulie?

Did you notice something strange about Dad?

He just took a few hard shots.

I think you tell better jokes than me.

Did I hear somebody call for their old man? Did you do this?

It's sleep time, okay?

Dad, did you know that your bones grow three times as fast during the night?

I didn't know that, but I heard something like that once. Is that me?

Yeah, that's you. Excellent!

No, is that me? When we was fishing, right?

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 learn this.

It is something how this thing comes out of your fingers.

Oh, my God!

Who's this?

That's Madame Dupont, my French teacher.

Really?

Yeah, she looks French. Sure.

I wouldn't show this to your mother 'cause she don't understand French.

My God.

Better cover that one up. Champ, it's bedtime.

Hey, you know what? I know some French talk.

Knock, knock.

Who's there? Madame.

Madame who? My damn foot's caught in the door.

That's an old joke! What do you want from me? I'm trying.

I don't know all the good things.

Whoa! What's this?

What?

Look what I found in your ear. Russian money.

Money ears!

All right, listen, kid, you gotta get some sleep.

Dad? Yeah?

Today when you said having me was like being born again?

Yeah? What did you mean?

Well, you know, when you come up like I did and you got...

three square meals of zero a day, know what I mean?

You got the "A" side of life and the "B" side of life.

I'm like on the "B" side. But you got all the breaks.

So when I see you having all these things that I didn't have...

I live through your eyes.

I enjoy it a little bit. It's like having it all over again.

That's nice.

Oh, hey, look at my face. Do I look like a raccoon?

A little bit.

Like Rocky Raccoon?

A little bit.

You do a little. Really?

If you think I look bad, you oughta see the other guy's knuckles.

Anyway, yo, good night. Okay, kid?

Glad you're home.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

We'll play tomorrow, okay?

Maybe you could show me your English teacher.

She's pretty hot, too.

Good night, kid.

It wasn't your money. It was Rocky's. You wanna be hysterical?

You cost us everything. It was a mistake.

You think I thought this would happen? Don't walk away from me!

You just gave up our life!

And you think it's like some stupid thing?
