Original subtitles

Casting Director: Name?

I’m Mike.

Acting’s what I live and breathe for.

And I gotta have faith in myself.

You need to show everyone

who you are.

I like this girl, Sylvester.

Sylvester?

That’s right, his real name.

It’s got a nice ring to it,

Sylvester Stallone.

It’s like Peter Parker.

Are you delusional?

You don’t got the looks

to be a movie star.

Not to mention,

you talk like you got

rocks in your mouth.

Yeah, I know, I don’t

look like Einstein, but...

but I got a brain.

The only way I’m ever gonna

get to show people is I’m

gonna have to write a script

for myself.

Yeah, so do that.

Write a script.

And give yourself the best part.

There’s something big here.

You wrote this

in three and a half days?

This is freaking good.

We’ll test someone like Chuck Bronson,

or we could do Eastwood.

Guys.

I play Rocky.

I have no idea what that means.

So, the writer wants to be in it...

...as the lead.

No, absolutely not.

Throw some money at him.

$25k.

No.

Raise the offer,

try seventy-five.

You’re parking cars for Christ’s sake,

Sylvester.

No.

One hundred seventy-five.

Go to two hundred.

No?

I’m not giving this up.

Not for a million bucks.

Not for ten.

Hey.

Alright, if you do this...

It comes with some strings.

If you ever fall

one day behind schedule...

Ah!

The meat’s frozen solid!

...they’re gonna kick you to the curb...

You broke your hand.

...and they can replace you

with a real actor.

How do I even know what I’m doing

is any good?

Just do the best acting of your life

and everything will be fine.

How far behind schedule are they?

They’re not.

This movie

is about having a belief in yourself.

It’s about going the distance.

I put my heart and soul on the page.

If I’m not willing to

live up to what I wrote...

...then what’s the point?

So, do you believe in me...

or not?

I thought you said you could box?

I lied.

Let go of the head!

I’m an actor, goddammit...

...you always lie.

Yeah.
