Hey!

Stage coming in.

Kinda hard to follow an act like that.

Not if you're a headliner yourself.

Why, thank you.

Maybe you can tell me.

Where I can I find Bonzo Croydon?

Right down Main Street, past the last house

on your left, then its a short jog to your right.

Thank you, mister...

- Hardie. - Hardie.

We come up to scratch.

Then wed square off.

Yeah, and I'd give him a couple of jabs.

Right to the...

That was the 42nd round, wasn't it?

42nd round.

Pier six brawl all the way.

Hey, Bonzo.

The Frisco Kid just got into town.

He finally got in, huh?

And they're offering 50 dollars

to any man that can knock him down.

Gonna try?

Well, that wouldn't be fair.

I was the champeen.

Hit me.

Go on, hit me.

Go on, hit me.

Champion.

50 iron men'll buy a lot of whiskey.

Be worth your time, Bonzo.

No, it ain't that.

It wouldn't be fair.

But I still got it.

I still got what it takes

to show up these young up starts.

Drinks to the winner, huh?

All right.

No charity.

No charity.

There's a lady to see you, Bonzo.

A lady?

Who?

I don't know.

But she's a lady, huh?

She'll do.

Come on, Bonzo.

We gotta get you cleaned up.

And you, Mr. Hardie, a fine, respectable man like you.

Out with men doing you no more good

than Satan with his long horns

and he should've been working at the blacksmith shop.

Now you just cut that out, Cindy.

Ill cut it, sure.

Soon as I can start depending on you.

Soon as you start keeping your promises.

That feels real good, Cindy.

Don't know why I fuss with you like I do.

Do you, Mr. Hardie?

Well, I suppose 'cause it's the only power you got.

Sometimes an old buffalo hide would do better.

He ain't careful, I'll trade him in.

What?

Oh, you wouldn't.

Like a shot.

Why you ornery little rabbit, you.

I'll eat you up.

I'm gonna eat her up, see.

I'm gonna make some rabbit stew.

Don't you think you can sweet talk me

just because you're the biggest man I know.

Don't think it all adds up to silver and gold, you hear?

I hear you, I hear you real good.

Even if my ears was plugged up, I'd hear you.

Some of your mean old scroungy friends again, I bet.

Come to take you out again.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, looks like I'm set here for the day, eh, Jim?

I don't think you could move if you had to.

Cindy.

Lucy.

This is the lady I was telling you about, Bonzo.

Cindy, it's been such a long time.

Well...

I see you've got her right in your pocket,

haven't you, Bonzo?

This is your Ma.

You look wonderful.

I guess you're doing fine, huh?

Yes. If you ever get to San Francisco,

stop in at my restaurant.

You hear that, honey?

You do remember me, don't you, baby?

I remember you left.

And you never came back.

Mrs. Croydon, perhaps it's all a little premature.

No, no, I came for the girl

and I'm going to take her back with me.

You what?

You took her away from me

but you're not going to do it anymore

because I'm taking you to court

and before I'm through, Cindy's going to belong to me.

I don't understand.

You walked out on us.

I walked out on nobody.

You left me.

And now I have a perfect right

to take my child out of this, this mess.

Don't you think there's a better time, Mrs. Croydon?

The time is now.

Because she's got to know that I didn't leave her.

But no, we waited for you for six weeks.

You never come back.

Well, the job took longer than I thought.

I couldn't help it.

But where were you when I came back?

I wanted to show you, Lucy.

I got me some fights out in the sticks.

Where were you when I came back?

I figured you was through with me.

Well, you...

You tell him where he stands, judge.

Well, there's a legal claim now.

What I'm trying to say is, your wife

is going to put up a fight for the child

and you've got to prove you can really take care of her.

I gotta... What have I been doing all this time?

The judge is only doing what he has to do, Bonzo.

Well. All right.

Let him tell her that she can't have Cindy.

Cindy's not to stay here another minute.

You mean you're gonna take her now?

Only until a decision is made, Bonzo.

You have any idea where you're gonna take her, judge?

Well, no, I haven't decided yet.

Well, if I could interfere here a moment.

Well yes, of course.

I'd like to suggest Ovie.

Ovie's oldest daughter Tina is her school teacher.

She'd be well-cared-for there.

That's an excellent idea, Ms. Croydon.

I hope you'll approve.

Anything, anything, judge,

as long as she's not here another day.

Cindy, do you wanna go with me?

No, no!

Cindy, don't cry!

Nobody's ever gonna take you away from me, honey.

You're my baby.

I think maybe it's best that you go

with Mr. Hardie now.

Please, Cindy.

You'll come visit me, wont you, pop?

I promise.

- Tomorrow? - Tomorrow.

But who will take care of you, pa?

Don't worry, don't worry, honey, I'll be all right.

I'm gonna be fine.

I'm not gonna let you go.

Come on now.

Jab, jab.

Cross with the right.

Harder!

More heft in there. Put your whole body behind it.

Sure a rip, snort, and tearer with the shadow, ain't he?

Hey, kid.

What are you gonna do when you get a real target in there?

A bull every time, that's what my boy's gonna hit.

Sure wouldn't wanna be the eye behind that bull.

All right, move out now, kid.

Shuffle, shuffle.

All right, counter.

Now cloud it in.

That's it, cloud it in.

One, one, cross!

Hey, Bonzo.

50 dollars to any man that can knock him down.

Get in there, champ!

Shape up for the championship!

Mr. Dooley.

Bonzo.

How are you, champ?

Fine, Mr. Dooley, just fine.

Well, you live here?

Yeah.

Come around to give my boy a few pointers?

Wish him good?

Mr. Dooley, I've been keeping in pretty good shape.

Sure. Sure, I never seen you look better.

Not even when you were at the peak.

I was wondering...

You're not here to challenge my boy

for that 50 dollars, are you?

Oh no, Mr. Dooley, that wouldn't be fair.

You know I could get that old knobber in there.

I need money, Mr. Dooley. A lot more than that 50 dollars.

You mean you want a match with my boy?

Go on, hit me, Mr. Dooley.

Hit me, hit me hard!

I still got it!

Maybe you have, Bonzo.

The old experience, huh?

You wanna match that against my boy, huh?

You don't have to worry, Mr. Dooley.

I'll see that you get a good fight.

I've never let my fans down.

How long will it take you to get into shape?

Oh, I ain't looking for a long haul.

- Two, three weeks maybe. - Mm-hmm.

How much of a stake can we get up?

Maybe 500.

They never had a match here.

The town'll like it.

Winner take all?

Winner take all.

You've got a deal, Bonzo.

That's my pop, there.

Sure looks good.

Flying high and proud like that.

He'll wallop the Kid, you'll see.

Maybe get to be champion of the whole world again.

Then me and him and nobody settin' between,

we'll show 'em.

Well now, just don't spook it, child.

Salt it down with a little prayer.

Come on, Cindy, let's do our shopping.

Hi, Ovie.

Hi, Cindy.

Looks like we're gonna have some excitement, huh?

Yeah, say... I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

Which side that sign you gonna be on?

Well, hadn't really thought much about it.

Well, thinking alone'll get you into trouble.

Only man I trust is a man of action.

Now, are you a thinker or a man of action?

Depends.

Beau, one of their fighters is gonna need some handling.

He's a man with spirit.

Little more than a two-bit brain.

I don't have to tell you who.

Will you do it, Mr. McCloud?

Do what, Cindy?

Well now, Cindy, what do you expect he thinks

I've been talking about all this time?

Manage Bonzo.

- Do I have a choice? - None.

Unless you wanna be branded with all the name-calling

I can muster up.

No.

Thank you, Ovie. See you, Cindy.

Come on, Cindy.

Can I look in the window, Miss Ovie?

You sure can, child.

Take care.

You like that, Cindy?

You can have it in a minute if you want it.

Cindy?

Please, baby.

Don't be hard on me.

Please.

How's it look?

Every cent I got, Bonzo.

It's riding on you.

That ought to be all of two bits.

But we want you to know we're behind you all the way, champ.

Now let's have a little drink.

Best thing there is for tapering off.

No, I shouldn't.

You need it for the spirit, champ.

You go in there all dried out, you'll crack wide open.

Now how about a drink, champ?

I sure got a sting in my throat.

Now get out and stay out.

Only doing what's right for the champ!

We didn't mean no harm!

Get out!

Okay, Bonzo.

Let's get packed, we're going back to Jim's ranch.

I'll be all right here.

Not if I'm gonna be your manager.

My manager?

That's right.

I've got a good trainer for you too, Jeb Gaine.

- Jeb? - Right.

No, what does Jeb know about training fighters?

Well, he's a darn good horse trainer.

It's about the same thing, isn't it?

Except the breed's a little different.

Come on, let's go.

A little lower to the ground.

Thick.

Short cannons.

Shoulder. Jaw.

Good teeth.

Tie-in gasket is lumpy.

Bulky.

Heavy for his size.

Is that bad?

That's good if you was a short horse.

Bag's ready.

OK, champ, let's go.

The old knobber.

Nothing more silly than a colt

making like a plow horse.

You gotta play it close, tight.

Pull in for the short haul

or you're losing with too much slack.

Hey Bonzo, you gonna listen or not?

Bonzo!

Bonzo!

What's the matter with him?

He'll never make that fight moping away like that.

I don't know, Jeb.

You better find out.

Get him back for a rub-down before he dries off.

Come on.

That's it. Keep piffing those hands with that brine.

The way I see it, you're gonna

be up against a thoroughbred, a fancy dancer.

Strong, fast, good for a mile or better.

You, Bonzo, you're nothing but a sprinter.

What we call a short horse.

Now you gotta bring that race down under a mile, got it?

You ain't even listening.

What's the matter?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I guess I just ain't used to anybody

doing that but...

It's Cindy, isn't it?

You miss her a lot, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

Look, Bonzo, we know how you feel

but that judge says she's gotta be with Ovie

and there's nothing we can do.

Ovie, are you a thinker, talker, or woman of action?

You tell me where the action is.

Jim's ranch. There's a man out there

who misses his little girl very much.

Besides that, there's some men starving to death.

Oh, why now Beau, that ain't for me to say.

Hey now, deliberating's only gonna get you in trouble, Ovie.

Are you a double-dealing deliberator

or are you a lady of action?

Can't nobody call you that, ma!

It'll be just like going home.

Will you, Ms. Ovie?

Will you, Ovie?

The vote is unanimous.

Come on, let's go.

Giddy up!

Little bit like beef hunt time.

Everybody's fattening them up before the killing.

Just don't do too much fattening up here.

Not after all the work I've been putting in on him.

He had dinner with the rest of us.

It's just a little dessert.

That last sandwich was his dessert.

You wanna know something?

I'm beginning to think that eating beats boozing.

One thing about my ma,

there's no stopping her when a man's hungry.

But a woman's gotta watch her figure.

Nice to have Cindy here, huh?

She sleeping?

Just like the little princess she is, Bonzo.

She should be.

In my bed.

Dry you off them feet there and hit the hay.

Ovie, get the towel.

Smells like rain.

No, we could sure use some.

I hear you been appointed stakeholder for the fight.

Yeah.

What are the odds now, Jim?

Right now, they're 20 to one.

Good, I'd like to bring 'em down a little.

500 dollars on Bonzo.

Where'd you get that kind of money?

It's all divvied up between Ovie, Jeb,

Bonzo, and myself.

And where'd Bonzo get it?

Well, we chipped in for him.

After all, he's carrying the freight.

Yeah.

This whole thing's so silly.

It's not gonna help him get Cindy back.

That's up to a court.

If he's got any ideas about going on fighting,

he's gonna wind up a punching bag

for every kid with an iron fist.

There's no future in it.

What future did he have before, Jim?

At least now he has a hope, a dream.

I can't argue with that.

All right, 500 dollars.

Thanks, Jim.

Only two more days, pa.

You'll win and you'll have all the money.

I'll fix the house up real nice.

You'll be proud of me, pa.

Nobody's gonna take me away from you.

We'll show 'em, huh, pa?

All right, all right, keep chopping.

Look, Cindy.

You know, we gotta face some facts.

It's been a long time since I've been in the ring.

But you're shaping up real good, pa.

Everybody says so.

Look, Cindy.

The Frisco Kid is young.

He's coming up strong.

He's gonna be tough.

But you were the champ.

Nobody could beat you, pa.

Look, Cindy, what I'm trying to say is,

you can't count on too much.

You gotta look at the facts, Cindy, hard.

I've been doing what I could for you, Cindy,

but it's not enough.

You're getting older now.

You gotta know some things.

Woman things.

I ain't much good at that.

Some things only a woman can handle.

No, pa.

Look, Cindy, what I'm trying to say

is that I done the best I could for you, Cindy,

but it's not good enough anymore.

Look, Cindy.

Whatever happens, don't be too hard on your ma.

How about it?

You gotta win, pa.

You just gotta.

Court order to visit my daughter.

That paper isn't necessary.

I figured it was.

Especially after you rigged it for Cindy

and Bonzo to be together.

I had nothing to do with that.

Well, Mr. Hardie, I don't think you're telling the truth.

Cindy's got a real feeling for her father, Mrs. Croydon.

I only hope that your real interest

is in your daughter instead of hurting Bonzo.

Get up.

He looks good, doesn't he, Cindy?

Well, here honey.

I just thought you might like to wear this the night

of the fight.

It'll be a real occasion, you know.

What, are you off to the races again?

Lucy.

Lucy, I'm sorry about what happened.

Kids, sometimes they just don't understand

what they're doing.

I've been wanting to talk to you.

What's there to talk about?

Well, maybe we made a mistake.

We?

You're the one that made the mistake.

All right, Lucy, it was me.

I made the mistake.

Then don't you see?

There's nothing to talk about anymore.

Well, what I was thinking,

maybe you and me could get back together.

With you dreaming of the championship again?

Was that wrong?

No, Bonzo, Bonzo, what'll that prove?

That there's still only one like you

in the whole world and that that's

gonna make you the biggest man

that ever walked the face of this earth?

I just wish I could talk to you.

I hope you lose, Bonzo, I do.

That hotel's sure busting at the seams.

Yeah.

Lot of sporting money on the line.

I suppose there is.

What do you think of the Frisco Kid?

From what I've seen of him, he looks pretty good.

And what do you think of Bonzo and his chances?

The reason we ask is, well,

you're on the inside track and we figure

that you ought to know.

The only thing I know about Bonzo

for sure is, he's gonna try with everything

that's in him.

Well, you see what we mean is,

Bonzo being a local boy, we figure

that some of us ought to back him.

You putting your money on him?

There are two kinds of people that should never bet.

Those that haven't got any money and those that got too much

and that pretty well takes care of everybody.

I take it then, you're not betting on Bonzo.

That's right.

And I'm not betting on the Frisco Kid either.

Jim. Mark me down for 100 dollars on the Frisco Kid.

50 dollars on Frisco Kid.

- 50 on the Kid. - A dollar and a half on Bonzo.

- To win? - Yeah!

This note on the Frisco Kid.

At 15 to one.

Bet it on the Frisco Kid.

Come on, Frisco Kid.

Willis wants to bet 100 dollars on the Frisco Kid.

I got another few extra dollars in my pocket.

Another 50 on the Frisco Kid.

50 on the kid.

I'm glad to see Wells Fargo holding the money.

You know, I knew Bonzo back in Chicago.

It was his third championship fight.

He was the greatest.

Are you backing him, mister?

I'm backing the heart of a champ

with dynamite in his right.

Now here's $2,000 on Bonzo to win.

You know, I never could bet on favorites.

Just no percentage.

Excuse me.

Who you favoring?

The big city boy or your man?

Time!

Come on with the knobber!

Give him the jab, Frisco!

Come on, Bonzo!

Throw one of those stings in there!

Come on, Bonzo!

Come on! Get up!

Get back in there!

Come on, let's go!

Come on!

Come on, fight!

With your left, with the left, come on!

Yay, Bonzo!

Good boy! I knew you could do it!

Come on, boy, come on. We don't have time, now come on!

Time!

I knowed it!

It looks like percentage is still with me.

But I knew Bonzo could do it.

Now that's $30,000 you owe me.

Not many winners here tonight, were there?

No, there weren't.

Just those who were loyal

and those who didn't know any better.

You know, they say ignorance is bliss.

I suppose it is.

If it is ignorance.

I knew you could do it, champ!

Step up, everybody!

We're buying!

To the champ, Bonzo Croydon!

You're not going to do any drinking here tonight!

You lost your money, Willis. Is that what's bothering you?

That's not the reason at all!

The fight was rigged.

You're gonna have to prove that.

I've got all the proof I need.

A stranger from San Francisco named Carson came here,

and he bet $2000 on Bonzo to win.

That was his privilege.

Was it?

Well, I just saw him leave for Goldwater

with Dooley and the Frisco Kid.

So what does that prove?

That they were in it together

and I've got the clincher right here.

This is a wire from Dooley telling Carson to come here.

You wanna hear what it says?

"Carson, chickens ready for plucking.

Bring plenty of feed."

Now what do you think of that?

How do we know that Bonzo wasn't in on it with 'em?

He was just a tramp, wasn't he?

Hold on, Willis.

Well, he needed the money, didn't he?

Now you just be careful what you say.

Well, you were my witness.

You took the bets.

Are you gonna deny that you paid off Carson $30,000?

What if I did? What does it prove?

It proves that the fight was fixed.

That the Frisco Kid took a dive for Bonzo.

He couldn't stand up against me tonight.

Way I felt, nobody could.

I whipped him fair and square.

You couldn't beat him in a thousand years.

You bring him back.

I'll show you.

Are you sure you want me to bring him back, Bonzo?

Jim.

You gotta bring him back, Jim. I'll show you.

I whipped him, I...

Give me that money.

Here's our purse, it's the money we won.

I don't want no part of it!

I whipped him, I'll do it again!

Jim, bring him back.

We'll bring him back. Come on, Beau.

Come on, we'd best go on home.

What do you say we saddle another horse and go for a ride?

Well, pop's coming, I can't.

Well, maybe later then.

I'll see you.

Come on, Cindy.

We gotta get out of here.

Get back where we belong.

Do we have to go?

Sure we have to.

We never took no charity yet,

we ain't gonna start now.

But the money you won.

The money wasn't mine.

I had to give it all back.

Then what they're saying, pa.

What are they saying?

About the fight.

The kid falling down for you.

And you've been listening to 'em.

I couldn't help it, pa.

And you've been believing 'em.

- No, pa. - Now you're turning against me.

No, pa, honest.

What else they been saying?

You're hurtin' me, pa.

Come on, what else they been saying about me?

That you couldn't beat him in a million years.

And that I was in on the fix too, huh?

- Is that what they're sayin'? - No!

It's all lies, you gotta believe that.

Listen, honey.

Your pa was a champ.

They can't never take that away from me.

And last night I was all there.

There couldn't nobody beat me.

Couldn't nobody in the world stand up to me last night.

Take hold of yourself, pa.

Cindy, what I was belongs to you.

They can't nobody ever take that away from you.

What's eating on him?

Listen, I did everything you told me to,

just so I could get a go at that championship back east.

Now if that fall I took, if that...

- Relax, kid. What could happen? - Plenty could happen.

They find out what I did back there in Gloribee.

Not a chance.

Nobody in New York ever heard of that hick town.

If they find out that I let Bonzo clobber me...

Would you stop it?

All right, but no more deals.

No more deals and no more dives.

All I want is one shot at that championship.

Sure, kid.

Now we can afford it.

That doesn't mean that I like it.

I didn't like one dirty moment of it.

You just keep on not liking it.

Now when you hate it most, just remember the nothing

that Bonzo got as a champ.

You just remember how easy it was

to make 10,000 dollars in a half hour

instead of that big 500 dollar purse.

Now you just remember that, kid.

Yes?

Good morning, Mr. Dooley.

Oh, be right with you.

Well, gentlemen.

Seems like we've been riding the same trail.

Join us in a drink?

No thank you. We wanna talk to him.

You got business, talk to his manager.

He looks big enough to talk for himself.

And I'm big enough to handle you, Hardie.

What do you want?

To give you another chance.

For the dive you took in Gloribee.

You accusing my boy? You better back that up.

How do you like that for a new complaint? Sore winners.

Look, you stay out of this, Dooley.

Too bad he didn't stay out of it when you met Bonzo.

Look, you'd better get out of here, Hardie.

Cut it, kid. Save it for the ring.

It's your last chance. You don't come back to Gloribee

and put up a clean fight with Bonzo,

I'll see to it you never go near another ring.

He's got nothing on us. He can say anything he wants around here.

I'm not gonna let him ruin my chance at the championship.

He's just talking.

Am I? Wells Fargo's got agents all over the world.

In this country, they got 'em from border to border

and around millions of miles of roadway.

If I walk out of here without you,

I'll see to it every fight promoter

in the country knows about the dive you took

with Bonzo, just as fast as I can get

to a telegraph key.

- Kill him, kill him! - Hold it.

It's all right, Beau.

You can put it away.

Well, how does it feel?

Back in Gloribee, you took a dive

for this man you call a manager.

Now you're willing to kill for him.

Maybe it's too late to help you after all.

He's just trying to twist you, kid. Don't listen to him.

He's got nothing on us, nothing, no proof.

He's got my word on it.

Look here.

Here's the money, all of it, every penny of it.

I'm gonna put it up. Winner take all.

I'll show him I can beat him or anybody else. Winner take all.

I wouldn't try that.

Perhaps you're right, Mr. Hardie.

You know, I have a feeling we've reached

the end of the line.

I have a feeling you're right.

These two go with you, Sheriff.

This one's going with us.

Going to the fight tonight, Ms. Croydon?

I don't know.

Does Bonzo have to go to that fight tonight?

I don't think he has much choice now.

But it'll be different this time.

Nobody'll be carrying him.

The kid'll be out to kill him.

He had no reason to think differently the first time.

But it's so senseless.

To fight for absolutely nothing.

Nothing?

You call a man's honor, his self-respect, nothing?

Don't know too much about a man's makeup, do you?

But I've gotta hand it to you, Ms. Croydon.

Before you came here, he was a bum, a tramp.

The town clown.

But you made him aware of this.

You gave him life. Got fight in him.

Now, maybe he can show what he has.

I hope so.

Lucy.

What are you doing here?

Oh.

Just to see how things were with you, Bonzo.

Well, they're not like they once were.

What?

You mean the money, crowds?

Oh, how it could've been with us, Bonzo, that's...

You've got nothing to blame yourself for.

It was me that went to pieces.

Once I got out of that ring, I was nothing.

You were my husband and I loved you.

And I should've understood the way Cindy did.

Oh, Bonzo, I should've understood a lot of things.

If you'd have just kicked back once,

the way I used to kick you when you were down.

You didn't lead me to no bottle.

No, no, I didn't lead you.

I drove you to it.

Oh Bonzo, I know we both made a mistake.

I know because right now, right now we have nothing.

Please come to San Francisco with me.

You'd be a big help.

How?

You're a champ. You'd draw big crowds at the restaurant.

Yeah.

- It's worth a partnership. - Are you telling the truth?

I've never lied to you, Bonzo.

All right, all right.

We'll leave right after the fight.

But you don't have to do that now.

Don't worry, it'll be the last one.

And I'm gonna win.

Come in.

You got about 10 minutes, kid.

Thank you, Mr. Hardie.

I-I don't have anybody here with me tonight.

I sure could use a couple of seconds in my corner.

Already arranged for that.

Oh, thank you.

I understand that Bonzo is putting up all his money tonight

and if he wins, he won't get anything

but the original 500 dollars back.

He took what money he won betting

and I took the 30,000 you came in with,

and we paid back all the bettors.

Well, I'll be starting from scratch just like him.

That's right.

That's good.

See you in about 10 minutes.

Come on, come on!

Come on, Frisco!

Take him out, take him out!

Come on, come on!

Come on, Frisco Kid.

Get him, get him, come on, hit him!

Take him out!

Come on, Frisco Kid.

Come on, Frisco Kid.

Remember what I told you.

You're not a thoroughbred and the time's running out.

Come on, Bonzo!

Get him, Kid, get him!

Let's go, Frisco!

Come on, move!

Give it to him!

Hit him!

That a boy!

Come on!

Get him, Bonzo, come on, baby.

Ovie!

Gonna be all right.

Go get him, go get him.

Get him, Frisco, get him, Frisco!

Come on, Bonzo, come on.

Go on right now!

Hit him, hit him!

Get up!

Crank it out.

Come on, baby.

Come on, Kid, come on!

Time!

I knew he could do it, I knew it!

Well, it looks like he had one good fight left in him.

Oh, I guess he did.

I don't see your dress tail caught on nothing

that's holding you back.

What's it gonna be like in San Francisco, mom?

Oh, like nothing you ever saw, Cindy.

Really, Mr. Hardie? Is it all they say it is?

And more too.

Plus, everything that you're gonna bring to it.

I can hardly wait.

I'm sorry to keep you.

Hey, Kid.

Nice fight, lots of heart.

Yeah, but not enough, Jim.

I just didn't have the old juice.

You had the old juice.

What I mean is you didn't have nobody handling you.

I mean.

You didn't have nobody in your corner.

I had something going for me there, something special.

Boy, I pulled out all the stops.

Won't happen again in a million years.

- It's nice of you to say that, Jim. - Oh no, nice nothing.

But you needed that fight behind you.

You know, you got a couple of things you gotta fix before you go back east.

Oh like, hugging your jaw with that shoulder, boy.

You telegraphed that left hook.

I tell you what, why don't you come up

to Frisco for a couple of days? Let me shape you up.

You mean that, champ?

You'll be there.

Let's go.

Now don't forget, you two, and Frisco, you look me up.

Bonzo's Restaurant, huh?

Champion food!

For you, everything on the house.

Thanks, champ.

Good luck.
