Champion Page #2

I will not be a nobody

until I die.

People will call me sir.

I will be an important character.

Will be.

It's late.

Really, it's late.

Well.

You know what time is it?

Where were you?

On the beach.

Alone?

Hey, you want to fire those guys?

Stay away from them. None of them.

Provided by hiding.

You're just like your mother.

A number 6 with black bread, no mustard.

Honey.

Midge.

I am a traitor.

When will we tell?

Tell him what?

What we're getting married soon.

We got married, right?

No?

No, never.

I would not be possible.

I have not a penny, nothing.

It would be very bad for both.

Was it bad?

Sure.

Honey,...

...Is not the time.

We are not prepared.

Why can not

Business as usual?

You know how I feel about you.

You're a disgrace.

And you...

No, Lew, we're getting married.

Of course you do.

Of course not.

I know what you think, do not try.

The law is on my side,

did not get far.

By the authority given to me

the state of California.

Thank you very much and good luck to them.

Good night.

Thank you.

Midge, I did not want it that way.

Midge has started badly but it will be good.

I promise, will make you happy.

I'm going, now there is nothing to prevent it.

Is the same. This had to end like this.

I have done my duty.

Do what you want.

Come on, Connie.

Emma, ...

What are you waiting?

Midge. Midge!

Wait a minute.

You married, do not leave.

Marry?

Is that what you call it marriage? It's a trap.

The plotted together.

Midge...

Hush, do not give me more advice.

I have had enough.

If both want, stay with it.

But I'm out of here.

- Are you coming or not?

- As you wish, Midge.

EMPLOYMENT OFFICE

GYM BRADEY:

- Is Johnny Haley?

- Johnny Haley?

You mean Tommy Haley.

Yes.

Sure it is. You must go around.

Thank you.

Hello, Mr. Haley.

Why, it's Kansas City, how are you?

And that eye?

Pulling.

I'm glad, you see more with two eyes.

He told me to find him, do you remember?

Yes, I think, but I have retired.

No undefeated, but retired.

Do you allow some advice? Do the same.

You volunteered to be my manager

and told me to find him.

That was then, now is now.

Everything changes.

I have retired from boxing.

It sucks, really.

Take a deep breath in here sucks.

And no sweat, this is not good.

Who are you?

His brother.

You look like a boy hustler, no

want to be devoted to boxing.

That's their problem.

Go back home.

What I go to my house?

Do not need you. It is the sole manager.

I'll find another, I see.

What about you?

Do you know the amount

of hits you get...

...In the stomach for a fight?

The human body has not been done

to fight in a ring, Greem.

If you hit a man

followed hard on the head,...

...Even once...

...You can damage your brain

and even kill him.

And for what?

Why fill a room?

Why fill the bag to a stranger?

How do you demonstrate that?

Is it a way of living?

Forget it, kid.

- Hi, Tommy.

- Hello, Rubio.

It is the only sport in which

two types paid to do something,...

...That if they were free and drunk,

would be arrested for it.

If you have that opinion,

Why keep coming here?

Good, some are given by the bottle,...

I enjoy watching...

the boys in action.

Here, give it back when working.

Keep it, find work...

...A cook, waiter

or digging ditches.

Honest work, clean and healthy.

And I forrar.

You told me in

Boxing had pasta.

Be my manager and I will win for both.

- Yes?

- I bet you want.

Okay, I will.

Well.

But attention to this.

Just be your manager as

think you can go.

I'm not interested in fighting

club or $ 50 bags.

And work hard.

You will work hard

rather than in your entire life.

Until the bones are

creak with the effort...

...And until you learn to

to break a man.

teach you all the tricks

dirty boxing. And there are many.

I'm going to throw the ring...

...and see what you're capable of.

Four, five, six,...

...Seven, eight, nine,...

...Ten.

Well, what do you say now?

You progress, if you correct

I see some defects.

Quite a few flaws.

I hope tomorrow

- Go and have a lot to do.

- OK, boss.

This march. It costs less

But I've done well.

I know from the public.

Cheered all my shots.

Yes, you've been good.

You know what I thought?

Now that you've shown

your worth to yourself...

...I think you should quit.

You are crazy.

I think not.

So what's wrong?

Nothing, leave it.

No, you have hidden something, you know.

And I love you.

But you are not the same, Midge.

It was as if you wanted to kill that guy.

I would have killed him if

I had been allowed.

Is that bad?

I do not know, I really do not know.

But I kept thinking that

was not only the boy's ring.

You were hitting a lot of people.

In other types. For the

They hurt you.

I have not quite clear,

but I think that's dangerous.

Especially being a boxer.

And if you must know,

I do not like boxing.

You sound like a kid. Nonsense.

Hey, I won my first match.

Have you heard people?

For the first time I have applauded.

Have not you heard? Are you deaf?

Connie, wake up, Connie.

Smell the coffee, smell the steaks.

Because you learn.

Just as well. I have the foot

in the first step.

No more auto-stop,

Now we drive.

This program is hard but you compensate.

In Portland will fight

Harvey Baker,...

...a strongman with

jaw butter.

Tacoma awaits Louis Shenker ,...

...nice guy, but weak of stomach.

After eastwards. Salt Lake ,...

...Denver, Omaha ,...

...Tulsa, Dallas ,...

...St. Louis, Kansas City.

What? What fly has stung?

These people are going to riot.

You owe me $ 25.

What do I owe you $ 25?

Yes.

I owe you $ 25. Sure, Midge.

Here, here they are.

You'll have to get by ...

Hey, Tommy, do you know how

18 bucks. Look at this.

Here, take off that pony

I just came from downtown.

They gave me a cigar,

pat on the back...

...And I have sent to hell.

They say you can not beat Dunne.

What I can not win Dunne?

I forbid it.

Dunne takes years to get

the title and make a good box office.

The champion is old and tired.

You lose, Dunne won
