just as soon as I win a title, I'm going

to come rushing right back to your arms.

>> And no blondes. No blonds.

>> If there's any celebrating to be done,

we'll do it together.

>> That's a bargain. And now I got to run

long. But not before I kiss little Joey

good night.

>> Oh no. Don't wake him up.

>> I ain't seen a kid in a week. He's got

to wish me luck, too. Ain't he?

>> Hi there, Joey. How's the little champ?

Look at him, mama. You clucker.

>> Leave him alone, Pete. Don't get him

excited.

>> Show me how you give a car crew. Huh?

>> Huh? Oh, that's a boy. Did you see that?

He's a real palooka. Give me a kiss.

Well, too bad you can't be at the

ringside to see the old massacre.

>> Yeah. I'll be sure you use that corkcrew

in the ring

and not the full corks with

how you knock them out. Huh?

>> Yeah. Go on, champ. Show us.

>> Come on. I know boy.

>> Well, I'll tell you it's just how it

was. See, it all happened in a twinkling

of an eye. I catches him coming in. See?

just like this.

>> Nice of you to be so interesting.

[music]

>> Oh, this is a private party, Mie. You

>> A listen, ma'am. Trixie don't mean

anything.

>> I'll say she don't. Are you coming away

from this place with me tonight? Well,

>> you don't want me to walk on my pals, do

you?

>> Are you coming along with me? A now

listen honey, don't fly off the handle.

>> If I walk out of this place without you

tonight, I walk out for good.

>> Good. I told you to shut up.

>> Look your feet. [music] You're on the

wrong road and you're walking fast.

>> That ain't no way to talk to me, ma'am.

I'm the champ.

>> You're the champ. [music]

The champ sucker of Broadway. Too bad

you didn't get a beaten tonight. You won

[music] the fight, but you've lost Joey

and me.

>> And there's one other thing that I

forgot.

>> Oh, she hit.

>> He's not the only one in the family who

carries a walop.

[music]

>> She's mad at me.

I'm in variety this week, Crystal, in

the hasb been column.

>> I sort of feels like a has been myself.

>> Why Crystal, don't you love the trees

and the flowers and the chickens?

Say nothing of the roosters. Right now,

the only rooster I'd like to see is a

black one strutting down Lennox Avenue.

[laughter]

Crystal.

I've sort of missed the old town, too.

>> But it's been worth it.

>> Huh?

>> What is it, Mom?

>> On your way back from the station, I

want you to stop and get me a scroll of

black thread. Number 60.

>> Of what color?

>> What black? You m

>> light or dark?

>> I'm going to sell that radio if you keep

on repeating them bum jokes.

>> Okay. Number 60 black.

>> Drive me up, honey. As a customer, drive

me up to the stand.

>> Hop on. Here we go.

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> How much are your eggs?

>> 32 cents a dozen.

>> Why? They're mighty small eggs for the

price you're asking.

>> Yes, ma'am. I know. But you must

remember that an egg is a whole day's

work for a hen.

>> Well, Joe, you better get those eggs

down the station. Oh yeah, mom will take

care of it.

>> Well, what can I do for you, madam?

>> Those are very small eggs for the price

you're asking.

>> Well, what do you expect the hens to

lay? Watermelon.

>> Hello.

>> Good afternoon, Mrs. Pela.

>> Any mail?

>> Yeah, a couple of letters for you.

Bad news, Mrs. Paluca.

>> No news at all. Just a semiannual

report.

>> We don't see much of Mr. Paluca around

these parts, do we?

>> No. And you never will.

>> But you're going to haul out on me, huh?

It's ma. It's the gallows. What

happened? Was I struck by lightning?

Pleased to meet you, stranger.

>> You heard? Are you going to give me that

money?

>> Ingrave. Throwing me, your manager, OUT

OF MY OWN CAR.

>> ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME THAT MONEY?

>> I'M GIVING YOU A SLIGHT COIL OF MY LIP.

That's contempt that's browsing over my

features, dynamite. Nothing but

contempt.

>> It's contempt, is it?

>> Yes.

Hey. Uh, WHAT'S BRAWN AGAINST BRAINS?

MENTALLY, I GOT YOU LATE, DYNAMITE.

>> OH, YEAH.

>> WAIT, WAIT. You can't do that.

>> I can't do what?

>> That.

>> How would you like a good punch in the

nose? Oh,

>> I wouldn't like that at all.

>> No.

>> Pinch me. I've got hallucations.

>> I'm sorry, but you made me do it.

>> He's apologizing for his own strength.

Never mind him. Say an idea is

boistering to my brain like a bombshell.

First, let me introduce myself. I'm

Na'vi Walsh. I manage fighters. Uh,

>> prize fighters.

>> Right. You just knocked out my best

fighter and that makes me your manager

if you believe in science.

>> You mean you think I can be a fighter?

>> Think after seeing that right hook of

yours knock out Dynamite Wilson?

>> Dynamite Wilson? I can make a great

leather pusher out of you. I'm telling

you, it's in the cards. Meeting me here

is no coincidence. It's destiny at the

crossroads. What's your name? Uh

>> Joe,

it's Chver. It's Confiscation. That's

what it is. Um I'll get them for you.

>> Oh, I'll let him have it. I only made

one payment. The finance company will

get it anyway. As I was saying,

>> ain't you listening, Joe? Oh,

>> I've got to get these eggs on the train.

>> Eggs with a right-hand punch like you

got. sign this contract and you won't

never have to look a neg in the face

again.

>> I wish I could, but I can't.

>> Now listen to me. You can't turn this

down. I'm telling you, step is a chance.

>> Why? It's heart-wrenching to see a guy

like you wasting his talent with pigs

and chickens.

>> You're right. I'd sign in a minute, but

I got more reasons not to.

>> Well, what are they?

>> Well, there more reasons.

>> It ain't healthy living in a country.

Why? Look at me. Raised on gasoline

fumes and carbon monoxide. The picture

of vigorous vitality.

Now, I've always wanted to be a fighter,

but Well, why can't you be? My mom hates

anything to do with fighting on account

of uh Well, you see, my dad was Pete

Pala.

>> Did you say Paluca? The grand old champ?

>> Yeah. And he was great in his day.

Boy, the fortune is smacking us on the

head with a champagne bottle. Well

launched. Can't you see your name on the

billboard? Juke Paluka, the son of the

grand old champ. Boy, I'm going to

exploit you. Poo at the headline. Make

your champion like your dear old dad. I

can see it now. You're in the ring

training punches. The other guy is

generous and he gives you two for one.

He clips you on the chin, but I'm

undaunted. Then comes a critical moment,

the turning point. YOU LATER AT LOW,

FOUL THEY CRY, BUT WE'RE TRIUMPHANT. THE

REFEREE COMES out with SHOUTS AND

CHEERS. THEY HAIL YOUNG JOE PALUCA, THE

NEW CHAMPION.

>> GOSH, it was kind of sudden.

>> Sign sign on the dotted line. Sign sign.

You'll hear for me. All right, you'll

hear for me.

I GOT THE WORLD BY THE YOUNG.

>> WELL, JOE, what are you doing?

>> Just hitting that bag.

>> Well, don't you feel well?

>> Oh, I feel fine.

And opportunity has knocked at my door.

I'm going to be a leather pusher.

>> What?

>> Sure. I'm going to breathe carbon

monoxide and gasoline fumes instead of

fresh air.

>> What are you talking about?

>> I'm going to the city to be a fighter. I

can see my name and lights right now.

Joe Paluca, the champion of the world,

just like my dad.

>> You mean you're going to be a prize

fighter?

>> Sure. And I know I'm doing right. You

know, things are bad here on the farm.

The only thing that worries me is I

can't tell mom.

>> Oh, you've got to tell her you're going

away, Joe.

>> Oh, of course I don't mean that. I mean,

I can't tell her I'm going to be a

fighter. You know how she feels about

that. But I'll tell her after I've made

good. And boy, won't she be proud of me.

>> And I will too, Joe.

>> Sure you will. But you got to promise me

you won't tell mom anything about it.

>> I promise.

>> And you wish me luck, won't you?

>> Oh, with all my heart, Joey. And I'll be

pulling for you.

>> That'll be swell. Well, when do you

intend to leave?

>> Oh, the sooner the better. I wish I were

going right now.

>> Well, why so soon?

>> So, as I could give you a goodbye kiss.

>> Well, why wait?

>> Huh?

>> Why wait?

>> Oh, well.

>> Oh, Joe. Joe. Time for supper, dear.

Come in.

>> Uh-huh. Remember

Oh, come on, Mom. Please say you'll let

me go.

>> What is the business this Mr. Walsh is

in?

>> Well, he's in a leather business.

>> What do you know about the leather

business?

>> Well, I'm strong and Mr. Walsh says he

can teach me to

>> Oh, Mom, you've got to let me go.

All right, you if you've made up your

mind, I don't suppose there's anything I

can say or do that'll stop you.

>> Oh, thanks, Mon. That That's fine.

>> No, I knew this time would come and I've

prepared myself for it. But now that it

is here,

you don't know how I dread the thought

of your leaving.

>> Oh, you mustn't feel that way. I'm not a

baby anymore.

You are to me, son.

You don't know how I shall miss you.

>> And I'll miss you too, Mom.

>> Will you?

>> Oh, but I'll make good and then I can

get you everything you deserve.

>> Just be a good boy, Joe. That's all I

want.

Well, goodbye, Mom. I'm going to make

you proud of me.

>> I am proud of you, Joel. And I'm going

to stay proud of you. Remember, you're

my son, slug, and act according.

[ __ ]

>> Goodbye, Ann.

>> Goodbye, Joe.

>> Goodbye.

>> Goodbye, Joey.

Goodbye. All right.

>> How do you feel?

>> Oh, fine. I just had a great big

something.

>> Now remember, toy with him like you

would a weakling. Dynamite Wilson.

Kavine, you're on.

>> That's us.

>> Oh gosh, Nabby. I feel kind of queer in

my knees. To your customary stage

fright. Every primadana gets it. Forget

it. Na'vi.

>> Forget it and get going.

>> Who? Just a minute. Na'vi.

>> You? I'll be with you in a minute to see

the slaughter of Kid Lavine.

>> I'll I'll wait for you now.

>> Go with Whitey. I'll be right with you.

>> Come on. He'll be with you.

>> Go ahead. Go ahead.

>> Who? Dynamite Wilson.

What?

You're going to sue me? Huh?

>> Say that ain't Dynamite Wilson. Now he's

trying to pull another one of his fast

ones.

>> I'm letting you know that the name of

Dynamite Wilson is copyrighted.

>> Hey, Double Cross and Chisler. Excuse

me. I'm being paid.

>> Never mind the phone.

>> What's on your mind, Raffé?

>> Listen, I signed Dynamite Wilson. What

do you mean by sneaking a substitute in

on me?

>> Listen, Raffé, you got me wrong. This

boy ain't no substitute. Why? He knocked

out Dynamite Wilson like you and I would

sweat a fly.

>> I'm telling you, he's sensational. He's

got a kick like a mule. He's the biggest

thing the ring ever saw. Listen to that,

will you? Why? He's slicing Lavine to

pieces. He's tearing them apart like a

heron.

Get that sound effect, Raffley. Am I

chuckling? He's rendering that poor

Armenian the smitherins.

Why is that crowd a fro in a frowning?

I'll tell you, they're hailing a new

sensation of the squad cycle. Why

pomeranium is breaking loose?

[cheering]

>> What happened? One punch.

>> So you have to ask, huh? Am I haunted by

misfortune? Does disaster dog my

footsteps? Me with an unbroken record of

defeat. All right, I'll take the loser's

place. $50.

>> You'll take 20 bucks or nothing.

>> Oh, so you're masonary, huh?

>> Or is it nothing?

>> I'll take the 20. I was reaching for the

moon.

What a knee eclipse.

>> Eclipse yourself in that mug out of

here.

>> A name that's a million dollars and he's

made out of marshmallows.

>> Mom.

Mom,

what happened?

I lost.

>> You've been peeking. Why didn't you

fight like I told you?

>> I did. But after we got started, he

whispered to me and told me to take it

easy on account of his wife and kids.

And then I don't remember anymore.

>> I might have known you'd fall for that

old gag.

Here's five. That makes me generosity

itself. Here's five more just to ease my

conscience. Stick them under the shower,

give them a rub, and train them loose.

So long, kid. I'm not sore. Hurry.

Napoleon has his waterlue.

>> Mr. Walsh seems to be disappointed in

me.

>> No, he's just mad at the other fella.

>> Well, kid, better luck next time.

>> Who was that gentleman?

>> That's Mr. The Lavine.

>> Lavine?

>> Yes. The man who knocked you out.

>> Oh, I thought his face looked familiar.

>> I just saw your boy fight. Go ahead,

step on the corn to my wounded spirits.

>> No, the boy's got a lot of color. Yeah,

he's got so much color that I'm seeing

red.

>> No, no. I mean, he tries and he ain't

dangerous.

>> Rub it in. Right now, the boy is on his

way back to the farm.

>> I uh I thought I might be able to use

him.

>> What for? Pitching hay? No, with Mswat.

>> You mean the fight the champ?

>> Sure. I got Mwat on a barntorming tour.

The commissioner insists on a

championship fight and I got to have a

safe setup. Continue. Your words

interest me. And you uh you know uh

Goodbye, Whitey.

>> Goodbye, Joe.

>> Thanks for everything.

>> That's all right, Joe.

>> Joe, where you going, pal?

>> I don't know. I hate to go back home.

>> You ain't going back home. I just signed

you up for another fight. Huh?

>> You'll be a sensation. Guess who you're

going to fight? Guess who?

>> Who?

>> The champion, Al McSwat.

>> Well, does he want to fight me?

>> Why, sure.

>> Well, but Maui, do you think I'm good

enough?

>> A doubt. Razer, huh? Maybe I forgot to

tell you a couple of things I know about

fighting. Say, leave it to me. I'll make

you the Einstein of the squared circle.

But remember this, McWe ain't got no

wife and no children either.

>> And a boy. You really going to fight him

>> now? You listen to me, Nina. I know me

swats there. Sh.

>> Oh, he say that he got a fight for you.

>> Shall I take it?

>> Sure. We can use him money.

>> Sure. You need another bracelet anyway.

>> Oh, you sweet baby.

>> I'll take that fight. What? Yeah. Yeah.

Have I? What?

Sure. I'll be ready to meet any on the

29th.

Sure. I've been doing plenty of road

work.

>> Hey, Doc.

We found some roads you never heard of.

My baby is in swell shape.

>> And I can say the same for Nina.

>> All right. Good night.

>> Good night, Doc.

>> Good night. Salam. So long.

>> Well, baby, it looks like it's all I got

to start training.

>> Well, come on. Let's go.

>> Let's start.

>> Ready?

>> Ready.

>> Hallelu.

>> Oh, boy. Some fun.

[laughter]

>> Hello, Mrs. Luca.

>> Hello, Andy.

I heard from Joe today.

>> So did I. [music] He says he's doing

fine working for that fellow Walsh.

>> Ladies and gentlemen, this is WXA

broadcasting the news events of the day.

In the sporting world, fight fans are

looking forward with great interest to

the championship bout tonight between Al

McWat and Joe Paluca, the challenger.

Joe Paluca is the son of the grand old

champ Pete Paluca, since retired, who

will long be remembered affectionately

by the fans for his famous corkcrew

punch. In arrogance,

>> [music]

>> And did you know about this?

>> Oh, Mrs. Paluca. Joe didn't mean to

deceive you, but he didn't want you to

know that he was a fighter until he made

good.

>> Well,

if Joe wants to be a fighter, I won't

[music] be able to stop him. He's got

his father's blood in it. But if I had

that Joe here tonight, I'd show him

who's the fighter in this family.

>> You mustn't say that. Joe's a good boy.

>> Of course he is. And so is his father. A

fine, more upstanding guy never lived

than Pete Beluca. Well, I mean, until

success changed him.

>> But it won't change Joe. I know it

won't.

>> Oh, is that so? You don't know these

Palas. I married one. [music]

>> The only thing to save Joe tonight would

be if he loses.

>> Don't say that.

>> No.

>> Give me Western Union.

That's a funny way of wishing a fellow

luck.

>> Maybe it's just a typographical error.

>> I'll show her. I'll show everybody.

>> Oh, she near hit you.

>> Wait a minute. Save some of that pep for

the fight. You'll need it.

>> Was MWAT there?

>> Where?

>> At her apartment.

>> No, he wasn't there. I looked at his

apartment, too. The house is a sellout.

Nobody knows where he is, and he should

have been here 20 minutes ago.

Hello. Give me the gold cafe.

>> And you try the cover club and see if we

swap there.

>> Okay. Now, you call up the Leo Club.

>> Okay, boy.

>> Hello. Hello. This is Doc Weise

speaking. Is SWAT there?

>> No. Mwat left here an hour ago.

>> Max there?

>> Max left half an hour ago. MWAT there.

>> MWAT left here 15 minutes ago.

>> Here he comes now, Doc.

Hello, Doc. Come here. I got you the

chance. [laughter]

>> Thanks.

>> Thanks to you for showing up for your

own fight.

>> What fight? Meeting that set up will be

like shadow boxing.

>> Come on, baby. You must take a shower.

Come on.

>> And you take the air.

>> Okay. Glowing pain.

It is.

>> See if you can sober him up.

>> He's in pretty bad shape, Doc.

>> Maybe I'll ought to call the fight off.

>> That ain't a bad idea.

>> That settles it. The fight's off.

>> You can't do that. The house is full.

>> So are you.

>> Fine. I've been cheated.

>> Who is it?

>> It's me, Na'vi.

>> The fight's off.

>> What? Look at him.

>> Hi, Na'vi.

Don't talk like that, Doc. Can you

afford to lose that money? We're only

getting 500 and we'll have to use that

for doctor bills.

>> Mr. SW's a no condition to fight.

>> He's in no condition to fight. Say, you

should see Puca. He's so scared he's

faded. Why, I'm afraid we'll have to

carry him into the rink.

>> And I'll do certainly. But Mac, you'll

let him stay a couple of rounds, won't

you?

>> Sure, Na'vi. Sure.

>> That a boy. Hey, you see my boy fight?

He couldn't hit Mcswat with a handful of

rice. Come on, be a good guy. Don't call

off the fight. Let me make that 500.

>> Go ahead, Doc. I'll knock him off. All

right, take him to the shower.

>> Got a boy, Duck.

>> But remember, don't you try to double

cross me. Why, Duck? I'm astounded. Your

words cut me like a knife. You know my

reputation for this integrity.

>> Yeah, that's what worries me.

>> It's a lie.

>> Like that, I'd sit right down there.

>> Am I a general? Am I a mastermind?

>> What happened?

>> Don't ask no questions. You're as good

as champion right now.

>> Yeah. Is there anything else you want to

tell me before a fight?

>> No, only remember this guy ain't got no

wife and kids.

>> Oh, he isn't married at all.

>> Right, right, right.

>> Everything is set for the big battle.

However, if my dope is correct, this

fight's going to be just one of those

things.

>> Oh, yeah. Well, Mr. Joe ain't no

slouches. Paul was me.

>> Fighters and managers gathered around

the referee.

>> Shake hands. Come out fighting. Good

luck to both of you. Pleased to meet

you, Mr. Swat.

Come on, baby. Knock him out in the

first round. Don't forget, we got to go

places.

>> Okay, honey.

>> All right, kid.

>> Forget that, baby. Sit down.

>> You bowl him over as soon as you can.

>> I'll carry him along for a couple of

rounds.

>> Carry him? Nothing. Knock him out right

away. It's

>> all right, Doc.

>> Look at that sucker, will you?

>> Just look him right in the eye. Just

look him right in the eye. There. It's

half the battle here.

>> Go ahead, take it.

>> Now, remember, protect your stomach.

>> Sure. It's your

>> I know you're full of booze.

>> I've swallowed it. Oh.

That goes the bell for the first round.

>> Come on, baby. Get him, baby. Get him,

baby.

Come on. Don't hele that champ, Joe. No,

he's got a sister of nature.

Hey lady, keep your seat.

>> I do what I want with my seat.

>> Well, keep it out of my face.

>> It's McWat who tabs at Pico. Pulses him

with a wild ride. Again, McWat rips a

left to the body. He whips.

>> I'll die if he doesn't.

>> I'll die if he does. I can't listen to

any

stuff, Joe. Give it up. I do call it a

day dynamite.

>> Never touch this.

>> Now, Joe, walking coach

another right to left across. Mr. Beluca

is very wobbly, backing back on his

heels. You have better start heating the

coffee and again Mr. Mix rushes in

>> now.

He's going to be careful

to protect his stomach.

2 3 4 5 6

now 8 9 10 is out.

>> The winner

did it. I didn't know he's going to be

saved. I hit him right in the lab. A

You're

too modest.

Put that

body up.

Well, folks, it was a great fight and an

even greater surprise. A new champion

has been found in the person of Joe

Paluca. Fans must all remember the

famous Pete Paluka, the new champ's

father.

>> You said it, ANOTHER PALUKA CHAMPION.

BUT MY SON wouldn't fight her. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on with that

show. You got to buy A DRINK FOR

EVERYBODY NOW.

>> Listen to me. You hand me heater.

>> Leave my relations out of this.

>> You crossed me. You can't get away with

this. That punk of yours won on a fluke.

You got to give me another match.

>> Your fighter lost because you couldn't

keep him out of nightclubs. Now I got a

problem, too. I got to keep my boy out

of the ring. With them words, I'll leave

you.

>> Uh, please, Mr. Pala, will you say

something to your public?

>> It's a pleasure. Pluto will be a

fighting champ. He'll meet all comers.

You are now listening to the voice of

Nabi, said champions manager. I

attribute his success to my strenuous

discipline. PL will meet all comers in

physical combat as frequently as

frequently permits. And if frequently

don't show up soon enough, we'll go

looking for

>> Please. Please. I want Mr. Paluca to say

something. Listeners.

>> I rest my case.

>> Please. How are you, boy? Well, I uh I

hardly know what to say, except I hope

you all enjoyed the fight as much as I

did. And uh if my mom's listening in,

and I hope she is, well, I just want her

to understand that I'm following in the

footsteps of my dad.

>> Well, if you do, I'll break your neck.

>> And uh and I'd like to to like to say

hello to somebody else back home. Hello,

Anne.

>> Hello, Joe.

>> Thanks. Oh, and uh and ma, it's kind of

cold here in the city. Will you look in

a bureau and see if I've got an extra

pair of those long woolen underd

>> Goodbye, Mom.

>> Come on, Champ. Come on. Make room for

>> Hello, Ch. Oh, you were wonderful. You

were marvelous. I congratulate you. I

wish you do me the honor to be my guest

tonight at the Paradise Club. You see, I

work there. I wish you'd come over and

see me. Won't you please

>> Nabby?

>> Oh, please do. I will make you very

happy.

>> Oh, please do. Come.

>> Oh, you're such a sweet boy.

All be [music]

all day.

Life could be milk and honey.

Honey, it's up to you. [music]

Won't you like me a little bit less? And

won't you love me a little bit more?

[music]

If you love me a little bit, love me a

little bit [singing] more.

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> My skies could all be sunny.

Sunny

life could be [music] milk and [singing]

honey.

It's up to you, not me.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Guys, you sing good.

>> I sing good tonight because my heart is

full of happiness.

I had it especially made for you.

>> Oh gosh. Thanks. [music]

>> Will you give me the honor of being the

first one to dance with the new

champion?

>> Sure.

>> It's all right. Get that, Doc. He steals

my title and now he's got my girl.

[music] Sit down. Don't be a chump. Sit

down.

>> You can call me Tider. I like it.

[music]

I love it. [music]

>> The beginning of the end. That dame will

change my gold mine into a nickel's

worth of pennies.

>> Oh, don't let it worry [music] you,

Dobby.

>> Gosh, it's it's getting kind of hot in

here, isn't it?

>> Well, would you like to go outside and

have a little bit of fresh air?

>> Ain't a bad idea.

>> All right, we can do it.

>> [music]

>> Hey, watch. Sit down, fellas. The check

will be here in a minute. [music]

Listen, you mug. I'm entitled to return

match and I'm going to get it. If you

do, I hope I paint over your dead body.

>> Well, if I don't, I'll knock over that

chump of yours right here.

>> Fluke won that battle on a fluke. He's

no more a champ than you're an Indian.

>> I am an Indian. And my name is Sitting

Pretty.

>> Yes. Listen, if I don't get a rematch,

you'll be laying pretty

white man can now go scrammy. [music]

>> Mr. Walls, we're going up to a couple of

telegrams.

>> The lead.

>> No, but the time

>> I might as well be non-existent.

>> Another day. You telling me I just

unloaded one?

[music]

>> That's different. Where's the champ?

>> He just left the joint with that madiraa

dame.

>> What? That damaroon. That kid.

>> Where's my hat?

>> My hat.

>> What are you getting excited about? He

can't fight anyhow.

>> No, but he can punch and as soon as he

learns how to box, he'll be okay.

>> Maybe you're right. Why?

>> I got to save [music] him from that

game. She's poisoned, champs.

>> How are you going to do it?

>> I'll go on and make for her myself. I'll

go to work on her with my swole poison.

And I'll sweep her off her feet with my

long eyelashes. I'll be terrific. I'll

be a typhoon. Why? Do me a favor. Call

me up at Nina's apartment. Thank you.

>> What do I talk about?

>> Talk about a minute. That'll be enough.

[clears throat]

>> How do you feel now? Sleep.

>> Kind of sleepy.

>> Sleepy?

Oh, I'll pick you up right now. Come on.

>> Now, just relax now. I going to get you

a little drink more. Right.

>> Oh, yeah. Better not. Uh I'm not used to

it.

>> Oh, you get used to them.

>> Well,

>> here.

>> Put your little feet up here.

>> Oh, I wouldn't. It'll it'll ruin your

couch.

>> Oh, never mind.

>> Now, is there anything else I can do for

you?

You've been so awfully nice to me. I

>> I could be nicer.

>> Well, if it's not asking too much.

>> Yes,

>> I would like a cheese sandwich.

>> A cheese sandwich.

>> American cheese. That's the kind I like

best. Sometimes I used to eat two

[laughter] or three a day.

>> Oh, you're so cute. Oh. Oh. Oh, I'm

mostly sorry.

>> Oh my goodness. Oh, you're all wet. You

must take him off.

>> Oh, I hardly think it's

>> Oh, yes. Yes. What happened to me? You

catch a cold. Come on, change it.

>> Huh?

>> Can I help you?

>> I'd rather not. Oh, it's nothing. I I've

had wet pants before. I fell in a river

once and I It didn't take long.

>> Who is it?

>> It's Na'vi. I got a cable for Joe.

>> Oh,

>> where is he? He He

>> I don't think I'll have to take off my

pants, Miss Madera.

>> A magician. I underestimated you.

>> Sorry to disturb you, champ, but here's

a cable from your dad.

>> Oh,

nice homey place you got here.

Too bad my mom couldn't have sent me a

nice wire like this.

>> Oh, the phone. I'll get it. Phone.

Hello. Yes, he's here. Mrs. Paluca.

>> No, no, not Mrs. Paluca. I'm Whitey.

Na'vi. Whitey. Do you remember? You told

me to call you up and

>> Yes, ma'am. I found her. Mrs. Paluca,

>> my mom,

ME TO.

>> Good night, Mrs. Luca,

>> the wagon's going to get that screw ball

some of these days.

>> My hat. I

>> Oh, Joe.

>> You both come with me. I want you to

meet her.

>> No, Joe. Your mom want to see you alone.

I wouldn't barge in between a mother's

love for a son for all the golden

arabes.

>> Oh, Joe, must you go?

>> Of course. It's mom.

>> Oh,

>> Nabby, do me a favor.

>> What is it?

>> Will you stay here and keep Miss Madera

company?

>> Sure, Joe.

>> Oh, sh Well, Bobby, that's awfully nice

of you. I'll

>> I'm sorry to jump out like this, but you

know how it is with a mother.

What a face.

The brow of a genius with sharp

chiseling features.

And they talk about Barrymore

>> Scram.

>> Not that. Say it isn't so. Oh, what are

you talking about?

>> Let's not waste time on subtleties and

idol banter. I'm nuts about you, Nina.

>> You're nuts. All right.

>> Don't talk like that. I can give you

love, money, position, everything.

>> Oh, LET GO OF ME. YOU'RE CRAZY.

>> I am crazy. Crazy about you. You've got

this. You've got that. And boy, you've

got those. You're a pip. You've got it.

Can't you see? You're even making a poet

out of me. Me rhyming it with pip.

>> Stop it. You're hurting me.

>> It's only temporary. Each man kills the

thing he loves. If I should die

tomorrow, I would say this tonight. Take

a peek at that profile. Don't that do

nothing to you?

>> Yeah,

>> that's the ultimate insult.

>> Open the door.

>> Does Max,

>> my nemesis? If he finds you here, he

wiped off the floor with you. You better

HIDE SOME PLACE.

>> WHERE?

>> THERE.

>> That's the final degragation.

>> Oh, go on.

>> Open the door. I'll break it down.

>> Just a minute, darling. I open the door

in a second. Sweet.

>> Hello. Hello, operator. Send the house

detectives off right away.

>> Hello, darling.

What's mad to eat? You look mad.

>> Where is that guy?

>> What guy?

>> I saw you leave the club with Paluca.

>> Why, that's very funny. He hasn't been

here. Besides, he don't even know where

I live. Now, darling,

>> can that stuff? I know you're lying. All

right. If you think I'm lying, why don't

you go and look for yourself?

>> That's just what I'm going to do.

>> All right. Go ahead.

>> Now, darling, aren't you ashamed of

yourself? After the way I love you, you

don't even trust me.

>> Oh, baby.

>> What's the trouble, Miss Madiraa?

>> Throw this luck out of here.

>> I'm sorry, Mac, but you'll have to get

out.

>> Don't be so sorry, boys. I'll be glad to

go. I'm going to get out and so will you

when I stop paying the rent.

So long two-timer.

>> You're learning fast, Yoko. Huh?

>> What was Mr. McWat doing here?

>> Oh, he's just a little jealous because I

like you. By the way, how is your

mother? Oh, somebody must have been

playing a joke on Na'vi. She wasn't

there.

>> Oh,

>> where is Na'vi?

>> Here's where she belongs. Oh, you wait

here for me and I go and get my wrap and

we go places. Huh? Oh,

>> it's getting kind of late. I I think

>> darling.

Good night, funny man with a big nose.

Righty. It's the game. That's what it

is. You know, he thinks more of her than

he does of me. And if he don't show up

and pose for the meds, we're going to

lose a lot of soft dough. Boy, it's

funny what a dame will do to a guy in

two weeks. He's ungrateful.

after me taking him off the farm and

using my brain to make him champ. And

that's how he reciprocates.

>> It says here that worry kills more

people than bullets.

>> What do I care how many bullets get

killed? I'm worried about the champ.

>> I thought you were going to vamper with

your great personality.

>> I did. And what happened? I wound up in

a bathroom.

>> How'd you do, gentlemen?

>> Hi you fellas. It's about time. I've

been waiting here an hour.

>> Well, we're here, aren't we?

>> I'm not talking to you. As far as I'm

concerned, you can leave right now.

>> Oh, wait a minute, Na'vi. I don't pose

for any ads without Nina. She'll add the

feminine touch.

>> She'll add the touch. All right,

>> Miss Bula. Photographers waiting.

>> Go on, Nina.

>> Wait a minute. It ain't in the contract.

>> Well, put it in, Na'vi, because that's

the way it's going to be.

>> How do you like that?

>> Will you sign the releases, Mr. Boother?

>> Uh, Mr. Walsh will attend to that.

>> Mr. Walsh, please.

>> I'll stand reluctantly.

Come on, Whitey.

Now, give us a little more sex, please.

>> Sex?

How about this?

Why? It's preposterous.

>> Hold it.

>> That's all. Thank you.

>> Won't you make your changes, please?

>> Come on, honey. Everything all right,

Na'vi?

Get me an aspirin.

>> They say that women come from the rib of

men.

>> It must be the truth because they give

me a pain in the neck. Something must be

done about this.

>> All right, miss. Now, a nice smile.

Thank you.

What kind of a place is this?

>> Hey, look.

>> Now, Miss Madera, you hold the golf bag.

>> Now, Champ,

>> show us your form.

>> Form.

>> How is it?

>> That's fine. Hold it. Oh, let's get out

of here before they raid the joint.

>> Here's the boys, Maui.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

>> Listen, you mugs. I'm giving you a

chance to make some easy money. Well,

here it is. All you got to do is lay

down the first time you get hit.

I don't want my boy to hide his hands.

Do you understand?

And if any of you guys let Pluca know

that these fights ain't on the level,

he's going to feel the wrath of Nabi

Walsh.

Any rat feelers in the crowd?

>> No.

>> Fine, then we proceed. Cardoni, you

fight in Pittsburgh on the 15th.

>> Ohea, have your boy in Buffalo on the

20th. Patrick, I want you to fight in

Detroit on the 26th.

again.

>> Uh, no powder.

>> We finished, sir. Take care of them,

Alons. We We

>> Thank you, sir.

>> There you are, sir.

>> Uh, pay him, Alan.

>> Wee wee.

>> Champ, take it, Alons.

>> Wee wee. Oh, thank you, champ.

>> Oh, a playboy with the rubber band off

his poke. Go ahead, spend your money

with reckless abundant.

>> Who let you in?

>> Finished. It's been a pleasure to

manicure the nails of a champion.

>> Oh, f money.

>> We fine.

>> Hey.

>> Oh, I can't change 10.

>> Who said anything about change?

>> Oh, thank you, champion. If you want me

to come up tonight and give you a

polish, but just call Josephine.

>> Well, not tonight, Josephine. Some other

time here

from champ wee wee.

>> I call tile.

>> We we

will you stop wee weeing all over the

joints. Wee wee.

I give up.

Where you going?

>> Places. I got an awful placeful

appearances in vable I got to talk to

you about later.

>> But this is important. Gosh, that's

going to look swell on Nina.

>> Well, if you ain't the sucker.

>> What do you mean? That Dame ain't in

love with you. She's in love with the

championship.

>> What I do outside the ring is none of

your business.

This is love, Na'vi. You wouldn't

understand.

>> I understand. All right. For a damn

you'd bite the hand that gank you out of

the gutter. For a damn you'd kick a

beautiful friendship right in the teeth.

You're just putting in a woman's hand.

Something to ravish and cast aside. Ah,

Mure is very handsome.

Yes.

>> Will you do one thing for me before you

go?

>> What is Kiss me?

>> Kiss him. M.

>> What's the matter?

>> But I wanted that pressed. I'd have sent

it to a tailor.

That guy's head's getting so big, it's a

wonder we can get her through that door.

Am I? Am I boing enough? And I had to

meet a guy like that by accident. What

an accident. I'd have been better off

he' to run over me. He's damned Daffy.

That's what's done it. Oh, he's a screwy

as a bulldog's tail. Why, I took him out

of the gutter and he's slipping back

there without my help. I made him champ

even though he's a phony champ. And it's

a personal tragedy to see him train on

me like this.

>> I know it is.

>> Yeah.

Hello,

a lady. Fine, that's just dandy. Now,

what's the matter? Another dame on the

way up to see Joe. What is this place? A

herum?

>> I don't know,

>> Whitey. You're going to see me as the

champion troller of all times. Wait till

that tomato comes in that door.

>> Watch this technique.

Say you Dave's got to stop chasing.

>> Who are you?

>> Who am I? WHY'D HE TELL HER WHO I AM?

I'm Na'vi Wallace, Joe Paluca's manager.

>> I'm Joe Paluca's mother. Where's Joe?

>> Joe Paluca's mother. Why? The clerk just

said a dame was coming up.

>> Yeah, a dame called Ming

putting on the dog, isn't it?

>> You'll find it different here than down

on a farm, Mrs. Floa,

>> don't small town me. I shook a hip load

of beads in this B while it was still

teething. Sit down.

>> And who's the other gentleman?

>> Oh, me? My name is Whitey. I'm Joe's

trainer.

>> So, I've got you two guys to thank for

making Joe a fighter.

>> Don't thank us.

>> No, but don't thank us.

>> I don't. Where is he?

>> He's having dinner with uh He's having

dinner.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. with that Nina Dame he's been

training around with.

>> I don't let him run around with dames. I

don't allow it. He's having dinner with

some uh some newspaper men.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> Well, do you suppose that you could tear

him out of their arms long enough to say

hello to his mother?

>> Make yourself comfortable and I'll be

back in a jiffy. Whitey, entertain me.

Uh Mrs. Paluca,

>> right the first time.

>> Okay, ma'am.

Would

you would you like to read the police

gazette?

>> Say, I ain't seen one of these things

since I stopped wearing tights.

How long has he been trailing with that

Nina Dane?

>> Nina? Oh, he hardly knows her.

>> That's interesting.

>> Yeah,

>> he hardly knows her.

>> Yeah, he he hardly knows her.

>> Yeah.

>> [music]

>> Your eyes are as bright as diamonds.

>> Not as bright as the diamonds you gave

me, darling. Poor little bracelet. You

look so lonely by yourself. [music]

>> I'll give you two more to keep her

company.

[music]

>> Let go of us here, deer.

>> Hi, baby. Your mom just flew to town.

Ah, you can't fool me. I know that one.

I'm telling you the truth. She's down at

the hotel.

>> Now you know what happened to you the

last time you said that.

>> Joe, you're in your cups. What did your

mother say when she sees you planted

like a summer bungalow?

>> I will drink to my mother.

>> You bet.

>> You will drink to my mother. The best

little mother in the whole world. She

calls me son on account of I'm her son.

>> And my mother.

>> So Joe's mother.

>> Joe, let's go, will you?

>> You mean I say you won't drink to my

mother?

>> You know I don't drink. What?

>> Okay. To your mother.

>> To my mother.

>> To God's mother.

>> Yo, come on. Let's go.

>> Sit down, Na'vi. Sit down

>> now. We drink to my mother.

>> Well, men insult a girl's mother.

>> Yo, Yamara's waiting.

>> Now, wait a minute. Here. We're going to

drink to Nina's mother.

>> Not bad.

>> To Nina's mother.

>> To my mother.

>> Now, we bring to No mother.

>> I didn't know he had a mother.

>> No father. Everybody has got a mother.

>> Well, drink's mother.

>> Good.

>> My mother.

>> Your mother.

>> The Nabi's mother. [music]

[music]

>> Now we'll drink the Mother Hobbit,

Mother McCree, and Mother Goose.

Mother Goose.

That was a pip. That was a pip.

[laughter]

>> See, that made 12 bottles of champagne

and 42 mothers. Why the sentiment is so

beautiful, it makes me want to sing.

>> I don't sing.

>> Oh, please don't sing. You don't know

how to sing.

>> Oh, don't know how to sing. Say, I GOT A

VOICE LIKE A NIGHT AND GALE. Watch me

knock off this cadenza. M is for a

million things you gave me. BEAUTIFUL.

>> OH,

>> ALWAYS IS FOR OUT.

>> HEY, wait a minute.

>> I'm Nabby Wal, the champ's manager.

>> Nabby Walt, huh? Well, I told you a

dozen times before you can't sing in

here.

>> HEY, WHEN A WASP MAKES UP HIS MIND TO

SING, HE'S GOING TO SING.

>> You'll rule that. Hey, I'll put the

finger on you.

>> Yeah, YOU'LL GET

>> I'LL PUT YOU ON THE SPOT NOW.

>> LOOK, get out and stay out. Hey, I

repeat, when a waltz makes up his mind

to sing, he's going to sing.

>> Scram.

>> Am I right?

>> No.

>> You can be wrong, too.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> I'll give it to you.

>> Good boy.

>> It got any tougher, I don't matter.

>> That's the boy.

>> Now I will help you.

>> I'll take that coat.

>> HEY, WHAT DO YOU

PAY FOR IT? THIS IS WHY THIS IS A PUBLIC

PLACE. JUST MY MOMENT.

>> I DON'T CARE.

>> I don't care.

>> Let that farm hand fight a fire.

>> WHO'S A FARM HAND?

>> LISTEN. YOU DROP THAT CODE OR I'LL DROP

YOU AND AVOID CAMP.

>> LET ME AT HIM. LET HIM AT HIM. I'LL

KNOCK HIM COLDER THAN I DID IN A RACE.

>> YOU'RE AFRAID OF ME THERE.

>> WHO SAYS I

>> WAIT A MINUTE. BOYS, IF YOU MUST FIGHT,

WHY NOT FIGHT FOR A PURSE?

>> I'LL FIGHT HIM ANYTIME, ANY PLACE,

ANYWAY. THE SOONER THE BETTER.

>> IT'S A BARGAIN. I'LL DRAW UP the

contracts and I'll send you one

tomorrow. Now give the little lady

harass. Okay,

>> give me that.

Here you are. Here you are. And listen

to you.

>> Don't you annoy this lady anymore. You

understand?

>> This is my GIRL AND I WANT YOU TO let

her alone.

>> I'll see you in the ring.

>> Okay.

>> I guess you told him, honey. Angel. I

told him they couldn't get away. I hope

he kill you the next time you see him.

>> Come on. Back it up. Let's go have him.

>> All right. I'll take care of him.

>> Doc, it worked. You telling me? I'm

gonna give this story to the newspapers.

Come on, kid.

Can't sing. Huh?

I can't sing. Huh?

Sean.

Oh, Sean.

Slide over, sister. You're going to hear

some real singing. That's a baby just

like we are.

Once upon a time they sing a boat you

do. [music] But that was long ago.

Then everybody started [music] into

But the tune for you and me is that

swingy symphony.

What a voice they call it. A a dink

Hey,

>> that'll do. Oh,

Gee, mom, I wish you'd have telegraphed

or something. I'd have met you at the

train.

>> What's the matter, son?

>> Oh, nothing. I had to go out last night

and I didn't get in kind of late.

>> I know. I put you to bed.

You put me to bed.

>> Mhm.

And I've never seen a more thorough rip

snorting Jag since I walked out on your

father.

>> Gosh. Mom, I'm I'm sorry you saw me that

way.

What a fella has to have some fun. I'm a

big shot now. Mom, I'm the champ.

>> You're the champ. All right.

>> Well, I'm not the kid from the sticks

anymore. You're right.

>> Oh, gee, mom. Everything's fine, honest.

I'm making plenty of dough, and I can do

a lot for you. I'm in love with a

wonderful girl. Just wait till you see

Nina.

>> I know.

I've seen a picture. Isn't she a wow?

She's a couple of wows.

What about an

>> Oh, that's different. That was before I

was the champ. I've changed now on a lot

of things. Nah's crazy about me.

>> So is Anne crazy about you.

>> Well, Anne was a swell girl back home.

>> Son, Anne's a swell girl any place.

>> Oh, maybe it's a good thing for Anne.

Now that I'm different, she might not

like me anymore.

Well, I'm not so stuck on you myself.

>> Well, good morning, N.

>> Yeah, but it must be raining somewhere.

>> What's the matter?

>> Explain that before I sworn insensible

before your very eyes.

>> Is that the truth?

>> Yeah, that's true.

>> Well, I'm a monkeykey's uncle.

>> That's got nothing to do with it.

What's true?

>> I hoped it was a tissue of lies that

barracuda that wise, forcing you into a

match with MC Swat and you agreeing to

it without consulting me, your manager.

>> You may be my manager, but I'm doing the

fighting.

>> Listen to that.

>> So, you boys get along swell, don't you?

>> You haven't heard nothing. It's mutiny.

That's what it is. Mutiny.

>> Hello. Just a moment. It's for you, Mr.

Faluca.

Hello.

Oh, yes. Send her right up. I've been

expecting her.

>> Who was it, Mom?

>> Somebody I've got a lot to say to.

>> You got to listen to me, Joe. There's

more in this than meets the eye.

>> Ah, go get dressed and stop shooting off

your face.

>> I don't even wash until you answer to

the voice of reason.

>> Oh, come in.

How do you do? I'm Nina Mado.

>> Oh, yeah. I'm Joe's mother. I was so

delighted when you telephone me this

morning and asked me to call. You see,

I've been so very anxious to meet you.

>> Sweet.

I've been so anxious to meet you.

>> Won't you sit down?

>> Thank you.

You have a cigarette.

Oh, no, no, thanks. I never smoke.

>> May I offer you a drink?

>> Oh, no, no, thanks. There's one thing I

never touch.

>> I noticed that. I understand that you're

in love with my son.

>> Well, he's everything in the world to

me.

>> That's why I wanted to see you.

>> I want you to give him up.

>> Oh.

But you see, I love him.

>> Now, get this, kid. I know Dame's like

you. I've had a whole row behind me.

>> Why? I don't understand you.

>> Listen to me, you little [ __ ]

>> You call me a [ __ ]

>> I call you worse than that. Only I'm a

lady.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. Now, get this. This boy of mine is

good and clean. Something that you've

never met before. I've raised him that

way and I'm going to keep him that way

if I have to wipe up the floor with you.

>> Well, I love him and I won't give him

up.

>> Can that I'm on to all the tricks

now. You get out.

All right, I get out. But whether you

like it or not, I going to see Joe

because you see, I got what it takes to

haul him. Will you take it out?

>> So, you're all set on digging your own

grave, huh? On committing professional

suicide.

>> Ah, you talk as if I didn't have a

chance to win.

Joe, I'm going to spill something that

I've been concealing from you. You ain't

got a chance.

>> Ah, you're crazy. I knocked him out

once, didn't I? You think you knocked

him out? What really happened? Mcweed

came into that ring stewed to the gills.

You didn't knock him out. He fell down

and [clears throat] he couldn't get up.

>> I don't believe it. What about those

other fights? They were all setups,

handpicked. I personally paid every one

of them to lay down.

>> If I believe that, I'd knock you

lopsided. But you're talking a lot of

Hoy. I'm the champ.

>> Joe, listen to me. Would I lie?

>> You're just wasting your time, Na'vi.

I'm going to fight Mswat. And that's

that.

>> You're going to fight MSWAT. And my goal

mine turns to what?

Dust and ashes.

>> Come on, be a regular guy. We're all

reporters. We want a story about that

fight in the Paradise Club last night.

>> I don't know anything about it.

>> Hey, don't push, will you, brother? Take

it easy.

>> Hello, Whitey.

>> There's there.

>> How about a story on uh Pucan that Nina

Madera day?

>> He's the champion. Didn't you hear me

tell you about this hotel?

>> Yeah, but I'm his father.

>> Pete Paluca? That's right.

>> Sure enough. Hello, Pete. How are you?

>> Okay,

>> just a moment.

>> Thanks. 9:07.

>> Mr. Paluca to see Mr. Paluca.

>> Who?

>> Send him up.

>> Thanks. Go right up. Sweet 907.

>> Thanks.

>> Say he used to be a great fighter. Used

to be champ. Kind of down now.

Well,

maybe we'll both get a shock.

>> Come in.

Hi, ma'am.

You remembered the name.

>> Oh, I never forgot you. Gee, you're

looking swell.

>> You're looking pretty good yourself.

>> You ain't changed a bit.

>> Oh, the same old Blonnie Pete. You've

been practicing that a long time.

>> Oh, I changed though.

>> Yeah, a lot of water's passed under the

bridge.

>> Oh, no. No water ever passed under your

bridge. Not while you were able to bend

an elbow.

>> Good old ma'am. Still picking on me.

Seems like old times.

>> This reunion is kind of sudden. Pete,

what's the big idea?

>> Oh, I wanted to see you.

And I got a son I wanted to see, too.

>> What a memory.

>> Yeah, I know. Yeah, I was pretty bad

dice. I don't blame you for shaking me,

but I would like to see Joey if you

don't mind.

>> Well, I guess you got a right to. You're

his father.

>> So, I've always understood.

>> Where is he?

>> He's in there.

>> We ought to be proud of that kid.

What do you mean we?

>> Hello, champ.

>> Who is it?

>> Well, I guess we don't have to exactly

be introduced. My name's Pete Paluca.

>> Pete Paluca?

>> Yeah. I happen to be your old man.

my dad.

>> Kind of tough having to introduce

yourself to your own kid, but I guess I

deserve it.

>> Well, what do you know about that?

>> Gosh, I'm glad to see you, Dad.

>> Are you, son?

>> Sure.

>> Say, I've been reading a lot about you.

>> Ah, mom's told me a lot about you, too.

>> Yeah, we'll skip that. I just want you

to know I'm proud of you, boy. You've

done just what I wanted you to do. You

won the championship. You're a great

fighter.

Yeah,

there seems to be some argument about

that.

>> About what?

>> Well, you see, Dad, I gave Max a return

match, and my manager says I ain't got a

chance.

>> He's crazy. Why? There never was a

Paluka that couldn't fight.

>> I've got to win this fight, Dad. You

see, there's a girl I'm crazy about, and

I got to win for her.

>> How would you like to have me train you?

>> Would you?

>> Sure.

>> Oh, gee, Dad, that would be great. Why

say

>> I'll teach you every trick I ever knew.

You'll win the fight. All right. And the

girl will be proud to marry you. Just

the same as your mother was proud to

marry.

>> Well, we'd skip that, too.

>> Gosh, Dad. [laughter] Oh, it'll be great

working with you.

>> Sure.

>> Oh, you don't know how glad I am to see

you. You come back just at the right

time.

>> It's treason. That's what it is. A cast

through.

>> Well, what's the matter with you?

>> It's the articles for the fight with

McWat.

>> You don't want him to fight either, do

you, Na'vi? Not this particular fight.

There's a reason.

>> I've got reasons, too.

>> Jeez, what a [ __ ] Come on out here,

Dad. Where do I got more room now? Now,

show it to me again.

>> Sure. Now, you faint with your left and

throw your right. See? And I catch as

you're coming in. All right.

>> Now, look out.

>> Jeez.

>> Hey, you see?

>> I I think I got it.

>> Hey, wait a minute. What are you doing

to my chair? Oh, Dad, I want you to meet

my manager.

>> Na'vi Waltz is the name. Glad to know

you, Mr. Paluca.

>> Likewise.

>> Gee, Mom. Dad's going to train me for

the fight. Ain't that Swell?

>> Oh, yes. Swell.

>> Say, maybe you can talk Joe out of that

match with Mswat.

>> Talk him out of it with me here to train

him. From now on, he listens to me.

>> Well, if you won't protect him, I'll

protect him myself. He don't sign this

contract.

>> No, you don't. Now, I sign it right now.

>> I won't sanctify the match. Now you wait

a minute, Na'vi. A Paluca's word is uh

Paluca's word.

>> Oh,

>> Jim, this is a kick of a lifetime.

I got here just in time.

>> Yeah, just when I was pounding some

sense into Joe's head. You have to come

along and put the kaibos on it.

>> Well, I don't understand. The kid's got

me to train him now. You want him to win

this fight, don't you?

>> I don't want him to fight at all. No,

but you see, he's in love with a girl

that wants him to win. And I'm going to

help him so as we can both dance at this

wedding.

>> I don't want him to marry the girl. I'm

wanting to get out of the dirty racket.

>> Oh, hold on, ma'am. You ain't trying to

tell a boy how to live his own life, are

you? If he wants to marry, that's his

business. And if he wants to fight,

that's his business, too. He's got to

fight. He can't help it. He's a chip off

the old block.

>> You mean a slice off the old ham?

I predict the knockout in the fourth

round or maybe sooner with the crown

remaining on the brow of Joe Paluca.

Look who trained him. Good old Pete

Paluca. And look who engineered the job.

Now he was one and only did you get that

photographer

>> right

>> now? I asked you gentlemen, can he lose?

>> Oh yeah, Chance. Ain't

>> he in the step right of manhood?

>> 160 on the dot. Will you step back your

time so I get a shot of you and your

father?

>> Sure.

>> Come on.

>> Guess one. I'll be there in a minute.

>> Get up here.

>> Hello, sucker.

>> You're 5 lbs overweight.

>> What are you talking about?

Get your foot off there. Trying to

collect the for dough. Hey, force a

habit. For a minute, I thought I was

standing at Dinty's bar. [laughter]

>> Okay, Mick Swad. Boy, if we stand back

here for a group shot.

>> Group shot?

>> Certainly. It's in the contract.

>> Higher chance.

>> Just line up by the dust, boys.

>> What's the matter, Yoki? You scared?

>> Yeah. I'm afraid I'll send you to the

hospital. You better save the door you

make on this fight because after

tonight, you'll be through.

>> In my day, we did our fighting in the

ring.

>> I wish it was your day so I could fight

the both of you.

>> Just idle chatter.

>> Well, you look, I could spot you 20

years and beat you right now.

>> Lay down, Santa Claus. You're a husband.

>> Let me out that monkey.

>> Time and place for this thing.

>> Save him for me, Dad. Yeah. After

tonight, that two time of yours won't

recognize you. WELL, YOU DIRTY NOTE.

Don't

>> see you later, Chad.

>> Okay, Na'vi may

>> afternoon.

>> Good afternoon. Here comes Blackie Wolf.

>> What a chisel. How I'd love to cross him

like he's as square as a meg. Hello,

Blackie. I was just boosting you.

>> Oh, Na'vi,

>> you're betting on the fights.

>> That's just what I want to see you

about. There's a lot of that makes swat

money going around. You know me, Na'vi.

I don't bet unless it's a sure thing.

>> Are you positive Puka will win?

>> Sure, it's a cinch. The old man has been

training him. He's in the pink.

In fact, it's in the bag.

>> That's all I want to know. You know,

they'll lay an 8 to five on the champ.

>> You can even lay two to one. And it

won't be gambling. It'll be highway

robbery. I'm betting 10 G's on him

myself. 10,000.

>> Well, I'm going down to see Kley and I'm

going to give him 20 grand to bet for me

a two to one on Paluca. And if you hear

of anybody that wants to bet on McWat,

send him around and I'll cut you in.

[laughter]

>> Okay, Blackie. See you later.

>> Come on, SL.

>> Hey, did you bet $10,000 on Paluka?

>> Certainly not. I'm going to bet on

Mickswat. Mick Swan, I want you to go

down to see Kley and bet our end of the

poison on Paluca

to lose.

Well, that blacky wolf would rub you out

for a nickel. You'd better not cross

him.

>> For 20 G's, I'd cross the ocean in a

paper bag. Get going and place that bet.

>> I hope you know what you're doing.

>> Obey orders

until I know what I'm doing.

There's Joe.

>> Yeah. And there's his father.

>> Oh, I'd love to meet him.

>> Well, he's not the kind of a man you

meet every day.

>> What do you mean?

>> Well, I'm his wife. I've only met him

once in 20 years.

>> How are you, Nina?

>> Hello, baby. Now, listen. Why? Jesus. He

got a glass chin. Wait a minute. I want

to give you a kiss for good luck.

>> And you want some soda pop?

>> Break it up. BREAK IT UP. GO ON UP

THERE. CH.

>> OH, MIND YOU BUSINESS.

>> THAT IS MY BUSINESS. Go

>> ahead.

>> Ladies and gentlemen,

>> I've never been to prize fight before.

It's exciting, isn't it? Oh, don't you

hope he wins?

>> No, I just hope he doesn't get hurt.

>> IT'S NOT USING THE CHALLENGER,

>> El M.

IN THIS CORNER,

THE middleweight champion of the world,

Yo

Luca.

three.

Come on.

[cheering]

>> These old fronts of yours give me a lot

of confidence there.

>> Remember, son, they ain't never touched

the canvas.

>> And they ain't going to now. Don't throw

that car scrut I give in the office.

>> Okay then.

>> Come on, Joe. Finish him in the first

round so we can go home early.

Joe, give him the one, two, in the

labanza.

>> Hey, don't forget who you're betting on.

I'm going to deline you. If Puca loses,

I win plenty, but I'll never live to

collect it.

It has been. I still wish I had you both

in here.

That round was yours by a mile. Joey, I

could do better, Dad, if you keep that

left out of my face. You certainly

surprised me. You sure learned a lot

from your dad.

>> Joe, do what I tell you. Eh,

>> why don't you evaporate?

>> Oh, my down.

>> Keep him off with your left and crossing

your right. That sucker can hit. Are you

all right now, Max?

Walk around, Joe. Keep punching. Keep

punching.

Hello. Hello.

I tell you, Becky, Copley wouldn't lie

to me.

>> Take

Listen, you intelligent force.

I just heard that you bet all you're

into the purse on M squad. What are you

trying to do? Crossy?

>> Don't talk like that. You make me feel

kind of stagnated. If I double cross

you, could I ever look you in the face

again? No, just as I thought. Come on,

Joe. Joe. Joe. Going. Joe. That's a guy

after my own heart.

>> Yeah, with a big knife.

>> Oh, you speak a great Joe.

>> This is terrifying.

>> I can't stand any more of this. Let's

get out of here.

What a [ __ ] punishment. I'm not

talking from Hunter. Come on. What do

you say?

>> Well,

go

back.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10's

coming around. All right, come on.

Come on, champ. You're doing great.

Don't you believe him, kid? The girl

saved you. If I see you taking any more

punishment, I'm going to throw in a

towel.

>> Don't you know it, Dad? I'm all right. I

can beat him.

>> Keep in close and get to his stomach.

You hear?

>> All right, then, son. Go out and get

him. Come on, go get him now, J.

What do you suppose happened? Well, how

should I know?

Well, aren't you nervous? No, I always

take my exercise this way.

>> Oh, come on, Max. Kill him. Finish him

so we all can go home.

>> You better throw that tower. He hasn't

got a chance. You'll be doing him a

favor.

>> I can't. I promised Charlie I wouldn't.

If you don't throw it in, I will.

>> Oh, you don't. You ain't going to throw

anything in there.

>> Why you so out of my mind?

>> Hey, what are you throwing at

the money again? So, the hook is a

chance.

>> A real chance. So, you tell that punk

everything you know, eh? Everything but

this.

>> Yeah. Who you think you're hitting? Look

out there. Hey, what's the big idea?

What's the idea? Hey, come here. How do

you feel? Are you all right? All right.

You're all right. Okay.

>> Boy, your time.

>> They come to me in a place.

>> You hit him so hard he bounced. I

couldn't HAVE DONE IT BETTER MYSELF.

>> I NEVER KNEW it was so easy. Joe, you

won.

Huh?

>> You're still champion.

>> No, Mom. I lost.

>> Congratulations, son.

>> Na'vi was right. I'm just a bust.

>> Snap out of it. You put up a great

battle. You got nothing to be ashamed

of. But your mother's right. Fighting's

a tough racket. You're better off out of

it.

>> It took you 30 years to find it out. Are

you hurt, Joe?

>> No, Mom. Not much,

>> Joe. This is the happiest moment of my

life.

>> Well, ma'am, you ought to be happy. You

got your boy back and it looks like

smooth sailing ahead. So, I guess I'll

shove off. She's waiting for me.

>> What? Another blonde.

>> No, Maryanne. My ship.

>> Oh,

you must love the ocean.

>> Well, not exactly. I'm always looking

for something to better myself. Have you

got a proposition to offer?

>> Gee, but you look nice, Sam. You look

twice as good as you ever did, and I can

only see you with one eye.

>> Oh,

I'm awfully sorry, Joey. Perhaps your

sweetheart will bathe it for you.

I wish she would.

>> Why don't you ask her?

>> Well,

will you?

>> Oh,

Joey,

>> where is he? Where's Joe?

>> Joe?

>> Joe?

>> Mom wants me.

I got a heavy message for you. Well,

where's Na'vi? Read that. That'll

explain everything.

>> Dear exch, I am on my way to a hideout.

How humiliating.

I just got through triple crossing a

double crosser. I hope you won't get

sore at me. But I realized you couldn't

beat Mswat, so I bet your end of the

poise on him.

I'm enclosing the winnings. Take it.

It's all yours. Your loving ex manager,

Na'vi.

P.S. Please excuse writing as I'm

writing while running.

>> Joe

will now be your son.

>> HEY, SPOOKY. ME, MOM, DAD, AND LOOK

WHO'S HERE. WILLIAM,

>> GEE, I'm glad you're doing fine.

>> Oh, I'm doing fair. What are you doing,

Na'vi?

>> Well, I'm a swatch manager.

>> No.

>> How are you, man?

>> How are you?

>> How are you, honey?

>> Well, you

>> I want you to meet the wife.

>> What?

>> Come dear, be careful.

>> Hello, Nina.

>> Hello.

>> Hello, everybody.

>> Hi, Nina. Take a peek. What is

Come on, Junior. Say something to daddy.
