to be a ballerina at 31 , would you? Already been working it for three years. And you can't hit a speed bag? What kind of training is that? Never had any, boss. Well, I hate to say it, but it shows. Somebody's gotta be honest with you. I hate to be the one to tell you the truth. Yeah. Well, sorry for using your bag, Mr. Dunn. -You're not gonna cry now, are you? -No, sir. Yeah. Here. -Keep the goddamn thing. -No, you need it. No, take the bag. I haven't seen it in 20 years anyway. I've had three since then. Just enjoy it, will you? -I'll just borrow it till I buy my own. -Yeah. Just don't lose it. Yeah, I know, Hogan... ...your guy's the champ, so we don't split 50s... ...but if I don't see 40 percent-- Look, you call me back when it's 60-40 or don't call me back at all. -Hey, Willie. -Hey, Frankie. Something wrong? I'm sorry to come by your house like this. I know you don't like people dropping in. oh, you're not people, Willie. You're welcome anytime. come on in. I wanted to thank you for getting Gracie's car back. oh, well, you don't have to thank me. Paying an extra thousand dollars for your own car ain't exactly a favor. Gracie cried when she saw it. Really? I also needed to talk with you about business. oh, yeah, well, I just got off the phone with Hogan. We're all set for September. Everything but the split. I gotta leave you, Frankie. What? Willie, the title's just two fights away. It ain't that, it's-- It's like you said, I got one shot. If I win, I gotta make as much as I can while I can. I need somebody in the action who can make things happen. And I gotta make the change before the fight. only way this guy say he'd take me is if he took me to the title. So I get you the title fight, and this guy takes you there? only way he'd do it. I'm sorry, Frankie. I know how long you waiting on a title. I wish it could've been with me. Mickey Mack's a businessman. He can't teach you nothing. You already taught me everything I need to know. There's some things people just don't want to hear. And I challenge the Motor city cobra, Thomas ''Hit Man'' Hearns... ...to fight me for the welterweight championship of the whole world. Danger, I'm wearing these mitts for a reason. Just working on my footwork, Mr. Scrap. Danger, you throw a punch or get the hell out of this gym. Danger, while you thinking about that punch, I'll be right back. I'm thinking how I'm gonna hit it hard for you, Mr. Scrap. No one had the heart to tell Danger that Hearns retired years ago. I heard about Willie. That's cold. That's dead cold. of course, it wouldn't be so bad if you weren't so damn old. Yeah, well, at least I can see through both eyes. Didn't do you a lot of good though, did it? Well, I've got the gym. Don't need to be training fighters at my age. Willie tell you why? It was Mickey. Mickey's got the connections. oh, it ain't about connections. It's about you not believing in him. Well, I found him, I stuck with him for eight years. How's that for not believing in him? You could've got him a title fight two years ago. Hell, he knew that. I'm amazed he stayed around this long. Well, getting there and taking home the belt are two different things. What was I supposed to do, just put him in over his head? Not protect him? oh, you were protecting him from the championship. -Yeah. -Well, now it makes sense. Well, what about you, Scrap? What did your manager do? You were a hell of a fighter, better than Willie. He get you a title fight, or did he just bust you out... ...banging your head against other people's fists until you lost your eye? I had my shot. I went out swinging, and no man can say I didn't. Yeah, well, I remember. And excuse me if I didn't want my fighter spending the second half of his life... -...cleaning up other people's spit. -Yeah, right. Right, you're the smart one. You're the one learning Greek. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Дни юности на английском - текст Раба любви на английском - текст Фарфоровая луна на английском - текст Киборг 2 на английском - текст Дядя Ваня на английском |
