Like what?
Fight!
Y'know, nothing big!
Small stuffs like locally.
Don't you think you're too...
...y'know, old?
Yeah, but you think I
ought to stop trying things
cause you've had a
few too many birthdays.
I do not.
People gonna think you're goin' crazy!
What's crazy about standing
toe to toe, sayin': "I am"?
It's just the ego you talking.
What are you trying to
prove to other people, pop?
Prove? Listen, I...
I stopped thinking the way the
other people think a long time ago!
Ya know, you gotta think like you think.
- I do.
- Do you? Good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Face reality!
Okay? It's a different world now.
Only the clothes is different.
I really don't know
what you want from me.
I just want us to get
involved you know, like...
...home team.
Whatever it is...
whatever you're going through...
It'll pass.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Time's gonna catch up for all of us.
Especially for standing still, you know?
Hey, come on.
C'mon, I'll call you in the morning.
Did you tell this to
your kid by the way?
Yeah, I did.
What did he think, you're nuts, right?
Yeah.
Well, you don't believe in you?
Welcome to my world, buddy!
Rocko, nobody's
giving you no title shot.
I know that, I don't want one.
So this isn't a mental disturbance?
No.
You're mad maybe because
they took down your statue?
No.
- No, really no.
- If it's about money...
...just hang a sign around your
neck, saying: "Punch Me!".
Five dollars. You'll make big money!
What? You haven't peaked yet?
- Peaked?
- Yeah, peaked!
I don't know, there's still
some stuff in the basement.
- What basement?
- In here.
Tell me about the stuff.
- What about it?
- Tell me about the stuff inside.
- Is it angry?
- Angry?
Are you mad because Adrian left you?
She didn't leave, Paulie. She died.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
You know...sometimes
it's hard to breathe.
Y'know I fell this...
...beast inside me.
It's ok, Rocko. Please, it's ok.
Is it...
...ok.
I didn't know...I just never knew
it was supposed to be that hard.
It wasn't supposed to be
like this, Paulie. You know it.
I say, you wanna come
by and help me train?
- I've got a job here.
- I understand.
Remember you said if you
stay in one place long enough...
...you become that place?
Rocko, this is all like that.
I understand, Paulie. I do.
Well, if you get time, you may
come down and see me train.
I'd appreciate it.
Of course, Rocko.
Bye, Paulie.
Goodbye, Rocko.
Take care, Rocko.
This plenary session of the
Pennsylvania Athletic Commission
is convened in order to consider
the application of Rocky Balboa
for the issuance of the discretionary
professional boxing license.
Due to his ineligibility
to be licensed as a matter of right.
Mister Balboa, you're welcome here.
Since you're representing yourself,
we invite you to make an
opening statement if you'd like to.
No, I'm just curious
how I did, that's all.
Alright, well.
The medical advisory
report has informed us
that the battery of tests to
which you've been subjected,
you've passed these
tests with flying colors.
And we congratulate you for that.
- Thanks.
- However, this commission
in good conscious,
cannot recommend you for a license.
And we therefore deny your application.
- Didn't I do what you asked?
- Yes, you did.
So I should get license, right?
Not exactly.
So, why did you give me all them
tests if you was never gonna passing me.
We've got to stand by our decision here.
And we have to deny your
request for a license at this time.
Yo, don't I got some rights?
What rights do you
think you're referring to?
Rights, like in that
official piece of paper
that they wrote down
on the streets there.
- That's the Bill of Rights.
- Yeah, yeah, the Bill of Rights.
Don't it say something about
going after what makes you happy?
No, that's the pursuit of
happiness. But, what's your point?
My point is I'm pursuing something
and nobody looks too happy about it.
