GYM FELDMAN

- Yes, at 7. - I don't know if it suits us.

- We need a journalist. - There are lots.

I want a journalist established sports car.

It's finished.

To the great columnists They like him and believe him.

- And do you think he will work with you? - I think it's ready.

Do you understand it? And you, do you understand it? Good.

Wow, you cleaned this up.

- I'm glad to see you. - What are you hiding?

When I find something good, I like to be discreet.

-Who is it this time? - Go get it.

Eddie, you have great talent.

I read your column every day. When I closed the newspaper, I missed her.

Drop the hype. To the point.

I have a job for you, but it is not something common.

It's for an important man, and for that it pays well. Are you interested?

- I didn't come to do weights. - Very good...

- What does he do? - He's getting ready.

- Hurry up! - Yes, sir.

Boxing is sinking in this country. Young people are very smart.

They want to be doctors and lawyers.

My boys went abroad and they brought in a winner.

- His name is Toro Moreno. - I don't know him.

I already told you it was new.

Mr. Agrandi, Mr. Willis is a journalist who will make Toro famous.

- Delighted. - Likewise.

- We shouldn't make him wait. - No, no, Mr. Benko.

He is Toro's manager. I brought him because without him, Toro is lost.

- How much will you pay? - Look at him first.

- If you pay poorly, you won't waste time. - 250 weekly.

- It's not enough. - We will pay your expenses.

Leo will write the checks and discount them of the business. You will not pay taxes.

Good. I'll take a look at it.

I know how to choose them, eh?

You choose the right people for each job.

I've been behind you for 8 years. You have rejected me 20 times.

Have I become discouraged? No.

If you know how to wait, things fall on your side.

Like bad apples.

- Danny, let's see what he can do. - George.

don't hit him until I tell you.

Whatever you say, Mr. McKeogh.

Sit down and shut up!

- Come on, down. - Let's see if he knows how to hit.

- Let me hit you, George. - Okay.

He doesn't know how to hit. It's a mass of muscles.

- Let's see if he knows how to receive. - You can hit him now.

In the stomach.

In the kidneys.

- On the chin, George. - Okay.

Cotton cuffs and glass chin. The perfect combination.

I already told you that Toro is an amateur.

- But he's strong. - Take him to the shower.

- And take a shower too. - Very good, let's go.

Vince, Frank, go.

We can get a million. How will we do it?

- You won't be able to. - That's why you're here.

I need a journalist not even very important...

...not unimportant: You. - You said he had a lot of talent.

- Let's speak clearly. - We waste time.

Have I asked for your opinion? Well shut up. Well, what do you say?

Even a heavyweight mediocre would beat him.

He's a giant! Can't you catapult it?

- Could. - It's an innate talent.

The kind that would fill a stadium.

- Why am I doing this? - For money.

Me too. "But what will happen?" in his 1st fight?

Max will take care of that.

You will pay another for it to be thrown away.

That is.

- I'm not your man. - Do you see it?

Shut up! He's too old to talk.

Today's boxing It's like showbiz.

Boxers are actors. The best is the champion.

You would advertise to an actor.

You argue well and I like money.

But, and when you can't buy the rival?

- I won't let my investment suffer. -No one will suffer.

Come on, Eddie, Let's see what you come up with.

Come on, give me an idea.

Don't hesitate! What are you trying, preserve your dignity?

"Your dignity preserved your job" or did he provide you with another one?

Eddie, if you help me, I will help you.

- In this city, I wouldn't fit in. - Where then?

In California. There goes this.

Good. Leo, buy the tickets for tomorrow morning.

Deal done?

You've tried for 8 years. You finally got it. Deal done.

Eddie.

How come you have accepted so easily?

You chose the moment well. 17 years writing a column.

Always complying.

And suddenly, in the street, running.

- Do you need it? - He's a man.

Strong as a bull, but inexperienced

You would beat him.

I don't like that you get into this.

It's sad.

You sell a boxer or you sell soap. Everything is selling.

Yes, but you can do something more important.

Well, a little of this and a lot of this It will make you change your mind.

The journalists They will ask you questions.

Tell him I will answer for him, is that clear?

Managers endure, but boxers don't last long.

Should you have a home?

Of course, just like baseball players.

�You must pay for that home or the boxing commission?

The commission, the authorities, the state, they should...

It should be a government matter.

Tell me. I want to leave settled all our accounts.

What else, Eddie?

Well stop looking at me like I would have stolen your wallet.

- Why do we have to lie? - Advertising.

Are you real?

Do you dance the mambo?

- Go play outside. - Don't push.

- The managers are coming. - Clear the room.

Managers are managed well one by one.

Six together is look for problems.

Nick wants me to fight soon in Chicago. That's why there is a rush.

Bull. It's time to sleep.

- Good night. - Good night.

The party is over.

That the party is over. Out.

Was...

- Hello, Jim. - Hello, Max.

- Hello, Max. - I'm glad to see you.

- Max. - Hello.

�They all belong to Benko's club?

Everyone has made deals with him.

- I will speak. -Who are you?

Jim Weyerhause.

- They are not happy. - We want more money.

Toro is a success. They can pay us 1,000 extra without resentment.

How much do they take your boxers? Answer.

They are under contract. We can stop them from boxing.

They catch a strong boy, pay 10 $ on leave and they throw him into the ring.

Therefore, they take a third.

They take another third for expenses.

And they steal what's left dispatching it quickly.

- You are the managers, that's for sure. -Will you give us the $1,000?

- Pay him the thousand. - Why? The attraction is Toro.

It suits us. Pay him later to be pulled. Directly.

- Only I pay mine. - Is this new?

With mine I'm going halfway. Are you trying to turn him against me?

If we pay them the thousand, let them distribute it.

If they pay that to mine, Some aunt will hunt him down and lose him.

- I'll get another one. - I'm like a father to my boy.

Without me, he doesn't even buy shoes.

Mr. Willis, You were a journalist.

Meet the boxer in the ring. But we live with those lazy people.

They are lazy. They don't want to work. That's why they are in boxing.

Without them, they are nothing.

Boxers come and go. The managers stay.

Join our side. They are garbage.

- Let's not argue. -And what, then, are managers?

What are you?

I wallow in the same mud and for the same.

That's why I want to give you to the boxer those thousand.

So that you remember that you won all that in one night.

I feel better for it, and that's how you should feel.

We will pay them.

Let them go. Har� dealing with others. Get out!

Very well, let's go.

Everything is programmed. Where will we find other boxers?

They will return. In order to get something out.

If they don't come back, I'll tell them to Nick that it was your fault.

Mr. Willis. we want talk about it calmly.

Sure, go ahead.

Maybe you're right.

We will show him that we have heart. We will pay them the extra.

OK. Have a drink.

It will seem that we are hard with them.

But deep down we love them.

Do you know something? I didn't doubt it for a moment.

Mr. Benko has authorized me...

...to give $25,000 for their charity campaign...

...if Toro fights the stellar combat.

Mr. Benko has been taken on trial several times.

To the sponsors They don't care.

Do not associate your name with his.

His name will not be mentioned. The contribution will be anonymous.

- I just want to do the right thing. - Reject it.

Don't rush. We must think about taxes.

can't stand all campaign expenses.

They will only deduct 20%.

- I advise you to accept. - I'm leaving.

- Do the same. - I want to do the right thing.

Reverend, It will refresh your memory.

Al Capone opened dining rooms charities in Chicago.

The mayor did not close them because it was him.

Money is not bad. The use that is given is the determining factor.

It can help many children crippled with $25,000.

- That's what I think. - Good...

...looking at it that way, we could consider the ultimate good.

- But the decision is yours. - I just want to do the right thing.

Attention.

What is it that he tells you?

- Thanks for dinner. - We are partners.

We make money, but everything it can go to waste.

Eddie must continue just as until now.

I don't know how he is. I want to see him.

Do you think it's fair?

I pay him well for what he does. You owe me some loyalty!

Except you.

Sure, I understand you.

Goodbye. Goodbye, Eddie.

Hey, Willis.

My boy won't let himself win. I changed my mind.

Wait. Come on.

Everyone out.

- What's wrong? - It won't.

You made a deal. Do you want us to end up crippled?

I have nothing to do with it. He's crazy. It's missing a screw!

- What has made you change? - I thought it would be a small fight.

But friends have come, relatives, my entire tribe.

I can't let myself win in front of them. I have my pride.

- Lazy! - Leave it, Leo.

- You get $1,000. - Keep them. I have my pride.

Toro has knocked out everyone. There is no shame in losing.

- Think about the money. - It doesn't last long for me.

- I must preserve my pride. - The wire.

My head hurts. I didn't sleep all night.

We were talking about your fight with Brannen, remember?

It wasn't his hit which left me unconscious.

No, sir. Was...

Do you remember? The doctor, penicillin, the cold.

Yes, that was it. It was because I caught a cold during training.

And a stupid doctor I injected the thing.

I am allergic to penicillin.

That lowered my resistance. Then Buddy hit me that way.

Yes, that was it.

I have a good reputation. I don't want to throw it all away.

Eddie will handle the press.

What pain. Are there aspirin?

- Bring him an aspirin. - See you later, Gus.

You didn't have to ask him. You could come whenever you wanted.

- I wasn't sure you wanted to. - No?

- No. - Wait.

I don't know what you must have thought, but get it out of your head.

- I'll try. - Nothing to try. Just do it.

Go see a lawyer!

- He'll take Toro away from them! - Shut up.

- What's wrong? - Agrandi returns home.

- What has he done? - Nothing. Annoy me by asking me for money.

- They will not extend it. - Is it your thing?

- I don't want things with foreigners. - The boy will be lost.

- It will pass. Trust yourself. - Just talk to you.

I will forget Agrandi. Two more fights and objective accomplished.

- You can fly at 10. - Good.

- That's not how it's done. - Are you trying to say what I should do?

- It's a sensible suggestion. - No.

- You can't revoke my visa. - I don't want them.

If I say you have to go, he leaves and that's it.

- Give him his share. - If I do...

...you will also have less money. - Give him his share.

One moment, you are not indispensable.

- I used to manage without you. - Fire me.

What are we arguing about?

We are partners. I want to see you happy.

Leo, give $5,000 to Agrandi when I get on the plane.

- Satisfied? - It stinks.

What's that for?

I am a very generous man. Give it to him, Leo.

- You are. - I'm going to get the ticket.

Take Agrandi and tell it to Toro.

Let him not wage war. And don't leave him alone.

- Good. - Let's go!

Let's not argue in front of people. It gives a bad impression.

With $5,000 we give good impression, huh?

Say?

What?

When?

Now I'm coming down.

Bull has escaped.

Help me! Eddie, help me!

You wait here.

Help me, Eddie!

Leave him. Get out of here.

What's happening?

I want to go home like Agrandi. I don't like these.

- Come. - These people are watching me. I'm afraid.

- Calm down. - I don't like them. I wish to go home.

Let's talk.

- No... - Sit down.

Luis promised not to leave. Why did he leave?

Your visa expired.

Why not mine? We came together.

The government makes exceptions. You are special. Agrandi no.

Are you my friend?

I hope so. Do what I tell you and soon you will return home rich.

The first champion South American World Cup.

You will be famous, They will treat you like a king.

Your parents will be proud. Think about...

...how they would feel If you come back as a nobody.

What if they don't let me go?

Nonsense. I'll tell you a secret. I don't like them either.

I do it for money, like you. When I have enough, I'll leave.

We will go together, I promise you.

- I believe you, Eddie. - Let's go to the hotel.

- Hello, Beth. - Hello, Art.

-How are you, Art? - Hello.

- Hello, Nick. - Hello.

What happened between you and Art?

Oh, nothing.

There is a lot of interest for this fight.

The winner will face Buddy Brannen in New York.

We are late. No boxer has appeared.

Go see what's holding him back.

- What's wrong? - Nothing. Everything is going well.

What's happening?

- We wait for Dundee. - Well?

- Max came in. You wait. - Why?

Those of the commission They are snooping around.

- That's it, Toro. Keep hitting. -How are you?

Good.

Come on, big guy, relax those muscles.

- Today I will win. - Ahpa!

Then another fight and home.

But you must knock out...

...to Dundee to fight with the champion.

- I'll knock him out. - A�pa, Toro, crush him.

Leo.

Gus is bad. I don't think it will come out.

- He has to go out. - What do you want me to do?

Tell him... No, tell his manager what Nick will do.

- Make it clear. - Good!

You stay here, Frank.

Dundee is bad.

- Vomit. - And an injection?

His nose bleeds.

And I must cancel the fight for that?

I want him here.

Max will make him get into the ring even if it's crawling.

We have ringside to the man...

...who will he face? tonight's winner:

The world champion of heavyweights, Buddy Brannen.

And now for this fight stellar 10 rounds...

...introducing the Goliath of South America, which has achieved 25 K. O...

At 125 kilos, Toro Moreno.

And his opponent, with 96 kilos...

...the former world champion the heavyweights, Gus Dundee.

They know the rules of Illinois. I want a clean fight.

If one falls, the other must go the farthest neutral corner.

Questions?

-What corner is that? - I'll take care of that.

- Shake hands and fight. - Come on, Gus!

Come on, Gus!

For that pasta, You can now try hard.

Don't worry, I will do it.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Stand up, lazy man!

What's wrong with him? He doesn't make an effort.

I better start putting it in the next round.

What a float!

Why don't they stop the fight?

It's still early. These people You have to pay off your money.

Ladies and gentlemen, at the minute and 12 sec. From the third round...

...winner by K.O., Brown Bull.

Keep journalists away from Toro. You go see Dundee.

- I'll get you out of here. - No, go.

I will ask Art to take me to the hotel. Go away.

Very good.

Chicken! Chicken!

You're a chicken!

Art?

Will you take me to the hotel? I want to talk to you.

Sure, Beth.

- What do you think? - He's still in a coma.

- Does it bleed? - A little, because of the ears.

He didn't hit it hard.

The hemorrhage must have been caused by the fight with Brannen.

I understand that He received a good spanking.

Why the commission Did he allow Gus to fight?

The affected point could have been so small...

...which was not observed. But A blow started the bleeding.

It's strong. I will get ahead.

Gus is good. I pray for him.

Good, George. Keep praying for him.

It was an accident, right?

- In the ring, they take risks. - TRUE.

The commission decides if they can fight.

If they let him, It's not our fault.

That is the accepted opinion, but not mine.

Doctor, would you do me a favor?

Eddie Willis is in. Tell him we want to see him.

- Shall we go to the hotel? - We will stay, out of respect.

- Frank, bring coffee. - Good.

Snacks?

What's wrong, do you want to do a picnic? Only coffee.

Very good.

Eddie, we'll look bad if the press publishes that Brannen beat up Gus.

Make up a story.

Something like: "Gus was a great rival...

...but before the wild Andean...

...he risked his life."

- You want the commission to read it. - Great!

Of course yes.

How can you worry about the press When Gus lies with a tube?

Eddie, tell us something.

Bull fought clean. It was an accident.

"I killed someone" in South America?

But he wrote that he sent several to the hospital.

- Promotional stuff... - Wait.

We don't hide anything. Of course sent people to the hospital.

It's strong. Who faces with him, he takes risks.

I want everyone to know it. Also Buddy Brannen.

Will he win the title?

I will inform the New York Commission...

...that we want to win the title, without what happened today.

The referee must stop the fight sooner.

- When will it be? - Within 6 weeks.

-How much do you expect to raise? - Gentlemen...

...let's not talk about that here.

I would reject that fight If only it would help Gus.

Dundee has been a clean boxer, a family man.

A great pride for your profession.

And if there is a god in heaven, must be for Gus tonight.

He died in the operating room.

- I heard it on the radio. - Yes. What bad luck.

He was only 33 years old. Young for any job.

For boxing, man.

I'm calling from 1104. Send for our things.

Yes, we're leaving. Thank you.

- How are we leaving? - We're going home.

- I can't right now. - I spoke with Art Leavitt.

I don't want to know anything about Art. He already told me enough.

You should have listened to him.

There are many things that I have had to do and that I should not have done.

How can you think in staying?

I can't leave now. Toro will fight Brannen.

And then Nick will give me my money, not before.

As if the money it was everything.

The one who sent you was good for you. And that fur coat?

You said you were an agent, not that someone would die.

Listening to you, it seems that I killed him.

I didn't say that. If you stay, you'll be like Nick.

Leave it. I already have quite a few problems.

- I don't know what happened to you. - Say? No, I can't talk now.

What do you propose?

Some lose their jobs and they find another.

- Become a corrector again. - It's not worth it to me.

- Why? - I did it 20 years ago.

- They pay just enough but you want more. - Yes.

- But at what cost? - Without much money, you are a nobody.

Take down those three suitcases, please.

Yes? Okay, Nick, I will go right away.

It's the first time he's happy.

Eddie, I spoke to the manager of Brannen and we closed the deal.

Look at the newspaper.

Now no one will say: "That's Toro, the faker."

They will say: "This is Toro, the matador."

We are swimming in a sea of ​​money, of which 10% is yours.

And another thing: Nobody He has deserved it so much.

Hey, Eddie.

She wants to marry me.

That will make your mother very happy.

Shirley, a great girl. Eddie, a great man.

No, thanks.

- One more. One more. - In what assault?

Silence, please.

New York is proud to celebrate this championship.

The world hopes that two athletes like you...

...do honor to our sporting tradition.

From what has been proven so far...

...I know they always give everything, and that it will be a clean and honest fight...

...what will happen to the annals of pugilism.

Let them shake hands.

- Thanks, Joey. - You are welcome.

-Willis! One moment. - Wait below.

- I'm upset with you. - Well?

Have false stories published, and I don't like it.

- What don't you like? - They give that jester a reputation as a murderer.

- Let's talk about it. - Leave him alone.

Go ahead, Eddie.

It is to warm the environment. What does it matter?

It's a matter of pride.

How do we hurt their pride?

I'm the one who took out Gus, for 15 rounds.

When I left the ring, He was already a dead man.

His jester barely touched him. I did the work and he gets the glory.

I have been unfair. I didn't know that he cared so much.

If I slaughter someone, everyone must know it, and they will know it with their boy.

He will wait 6 rounds.

They are at stake the rights to the film.

There is something more important. I'll try that it was me who eliminated Dundee.

I don't care what you do to it, but...

...do it after the 6th. The deal is gone.

No deals, Nick.

I'm going to slaughter your boy.

You who fix everything, what will you do now?

Did you know that sooner or later I would really fight.

- Wait. - What?

Fix it so that don't dismember it.

It's not my fault who is furious.

stop saying that It's not my problem.

Toro is not your brother. You are not responsible.

Believe in me.

Me too. That's why I hired you.

Decide which side you are on. You can't be in both.

I'm part of the deal, but you have to help him.

Hey, the bets are 5 to 1 in favor of Brannen.

- They must be improved. - Leave me in the corner.

We have to get them to bet more by Toro. Then we...

...we bet big on Brannen, and to collect.

- Hello, Beth. - Hello, Eddie.

I arrived this morning.

Yes?

"I must stay here like a vacuum cleaner salesman?

I am your husband. This is my house.

Sorry. In five minutes, I'm leaving.

Beth, let's talk about it reasonably.

There's nothing to talk about. You're still with Nick.

Do you still think like in Chicago?

Yes, Eddie.

Good.

Eddie! If you are looking for Toro, Frank took him to St. Eustace.

You should have asked me.

The priest asked him to go.

- Why? - I don't know.

You will want to give him your blessing.

- And Toro? - In the sacristy, with the father.

I received this letter of Father Pappelli.

He is the town priest of Mr. Moreno.

- Do you understand Spanish? - No, translate it for me.

Your mother wants let him come back right away.

Is she sick?

No, she's mourning the man that his son killed.

He didn't kill him. It was an accident.

He was beaten to death, and he doesn't want to continue in this brutal sport.

Eddie, you are my friend. Help me go home.

I would like, but you can't leave yet.

I want to go home now, Eddie. Right now.

Toro, do you trust me?

Yes, Eddie.

Come. I'll see what I can do.

Don't worry, I will take care of him.

I don't know what to tell him anymore.

I have talked until I am hoarse, and I haven't made any progress.

A priest 10,000 km away writes a letter and our dreams fade away.

When you got off the boat, I promised you something.

Do you remember what?

That you would fight for the world title, and I have kept my word.

It hasn't been easy. Cost� the efforts of all these people.

We work, we sweat and we bleed for you.

You've had the best. Look at Danny.

The best coach there is, and he taught you as if you were his son.

George worked like a slave teaching you all the tricks.

Leo spent money on you as if it were water.

Giving you the best protection that a boxer can have.

Max kept an eye on your rivals.

And informed Danny and George so that they prepare you well.

Vince and Frank took care of you like a baby.

Eddie.

Eddie racked his brain to that everyone knew you.

Why do you think I did it? To make money?

No. Because I always wanted a champion. I put my dreams and hopes in you.

And now you tell me that you won't fight, that you want to go

Do you understand me? Listen to me well, Toro. If you withdraw...

...not only will you be fooled to yourself:

He will steal from us all the fruit of our work.

That is being very selfish.

It makes me feel like was a bad man.

Eddie, I wouldn't want to do this to you, But I must listen to the priest.

Get him out of here! Come on, get out! Get him out of here!

- Are you coming with me, Eddie? - No, you go. I'll go later.

- Maybe Eddie should... - Shut up!

Convince him. I will listen to you.

Clear. But you said that no one would suffer.

You want easy money. This is a tough business.

If you want the money, Let him get into the ring.

With someone who will kill him.

I don't care. Get him in the ring. If nothing happens to you, fine.

But let it go up. There must be a way to achieve it.

Of course there is. you have been lying to him all the time.

Try telling him the truth. Maybe that will work.

Maybe.

- Where is he? - In there.

Everyone get out. George, you stay.

Do you really believe that You killed Dundee, didn't you?

I killed him with this hand.

Yes, you really believe it. Well, I'll tell you something.

you couldn't kill without a gun.

- How? - You never knocked anyone out.

- I hit and they fall. 26 men. - All purchased.

- I don't believe you. - I don't care. It's the truth.

You're not even a boxer tenth row.

I train and fight hard. I don't know my own strength.

Lies that I wrote.

Nick paid me to do that people believed them.

I am invincible.

Any mediocre boxer I would beat you.

Go away, Eddie. Go away.

George.

Don't you know your own strength? You will see what you are.

- George, how old are you? - 53.

A finished veteran, but it can crush your brains.

Hit him hard. Let him know what you feel how much they hit you.

- Can't. - Do you like him?

- Yes. - It will be a favor.

He thinks he's King Kong. Make him see reason.

Go away. I don't want to hurt you.

Hit him.

Go away. I don't want to hurt you.

Protect yourself, big guy.

Let him get up himself.

Come on, get up.

I'm sorry. It was the only way to try it on.

You didn't kill anyone, you don't know how to box. You couldn't break an egg.

The priest was right. Go before...

...you end up like the others. Isn't that true?

You're right, Toro.

What will you do now, Eddie?

Tell me. What will he do?

Listen. If you leave now, you don't take anything.

Fight with Brannen and you will have money.

- Is that fight also rigged? - No, you don't buy from the champion.

And I can't beat him, huh?

I'll tell you the truth.

Brannen is furious. He wants to prove that he killed Dundee.

Yes, Brannen loves it beat rivals to pulp.

I can't go back without money.

Well, fight, but don't try to beat him. Disguise enough.

George will teach you to defend you.

You have long arms. Don't let him get close.

Keep it away. If you get close, hug him until...

...the referee separates you.

Do it for a couple of rounds.

At the first strong blow, stop. Don't get up.

Wait for the referee to count up to 10. It is the only way.

I don't know. What will people think?

What does it matter what do those beasts think?

Have you seen their faces? They pay to see someone killed.

Let them go to hell. Think of you. Take your money and quit boxing.

Okay, Eddie, I will do what you say.

And you'll fight like George says?

- Yes, fight like George says. - Good. Thanks for everything, George.

- Well, let's go. - Come on.

Remember: Fight Like I told you, do you understand?

- Understood. - Come on.

Come on, hurry.

That only helps if you know how to fight. Come on.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Let's save a minute of silence by Gus Dundee.

A great champion who died fighting...

...when the Grand Referee I counted to 10 for the last time.

You have already received the instructions during weighing.

Be careful with low blows.

If one falls, the other will go to the far corner.

Shake hands. Good luck and fight.

Come on, Toro!

Hold him down, Bull! Hold him down!

Stay away from him. If you get close, hold him down. Don't put up a fight.

Hold him tight. And if you fall, don't get up.

What will people think of me?

Leave me alone, George.

One two three...

...four, five, six...

...seven, eight, nine.

Time: 39 seconds of the third round.

Winner by K.O...

...and still world champion, Buddy Brannen.

- Can I come in? - There are already many people.

- I just want to see how he is. - You can't.

Show me your pass.

Very good.

-How do you feel? - Which blow hurt the most?

Leave him alone so that the doctor can treat you.

I tried...

Is he badly injured?

He broke his jaw. We have to take him to the hospital.

The ambulance I will pick you up in the basement.

Now I'll go home.

My money.

I'll bring it to you and you'll go home. Don't talk anymore.

Very well, make way for him.

Why did he let himself be hit? Why didn't he fight like you told him?

some men They allow themselves to be bought and others do not.

Good night.

Good evening, George.

Happens. We were talking about you. Do you know Jim Weyerhause?

- We have seen each other. - In Las Vegas.

I just sold him Toro's contract.

It is still known. Thanks to you.

We can earn a lot of money.

They are all the same. They always believe that they can fight once more.

For what I paid, There could be many.

- What is this? - You will have your share.

I'll pay him the same as Nick.

Only that you could trust me, but not in Jim.

Here is your part. 26,000 dollars.

How much for Toro?

I don't know. Ask Leo. He is the accountant.

I promised to collect his money.

What's your hurry? You can't spend it.

- I promised to take it. - I have to look.

Look. I'll wait.

Well, if you want it that way.

Why don't you eat something?
