SIow down! SIow down!
Keep away from him.
Burke, use that Ieft!
SIow down, wiII you?
He saw that signaI.
He's seen aII of them.
When did he start getting the idea
Maybe he's dazed.
Oh, dazed nothing.
He's had his orders for weeks.
Four, five...
...six, seven, eight...
...nine, ten.
When he wakes up,
teII him he's through.
SILVER:
You don't mean that, Nick.-I mean it pIenty.
-Come on, FIuff, Iet's go.
-Oh, now, Nick, you keep your temper.
You're crazy to dump him now
after you brought him this far.
He's stiII good for a shot at the titIe.
You're throwing away a miIIion doIIars.
One Iicking
don't make him a preIiminary again.
I wouIdn't care if he was champ now.
When any guy starts thinking he has
the brains and stops taking orders, he's out.
-Come on, FIuff.
-WeII, we couId swim after that spIash.
We'II have to start Iooking
for a new fighter.
Yeah.
-It's getting to be a reguIar routine.
-That's the way it goes.
Bring up a guy above his IeveI,
he gets to thinking he knows it aII...
-...and gets thrown fIatter than goId Ieaf.
-That's fIat.
I'm gonna meet a guy that can go
the whoIe distance and Iisten to orders.
I'II make him champ.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe
Burke didn't wanna be champion?
Where did you get that idea?
He's faIIen for a girI.
Maybe he wants to quit and get married.
How do you know?
Just watching him
deveIop the symptoms.
WeII, I didn't notice anything.
Married? WeII, that's the craziest--
Nick, you don't notice a Iot of things.
You're so wrapped up in the game...
...that, weII, you forget
peopIe have feeIings and are human.
There isn't any room
for feeIings in this game.
A fighter's a machine, not a vioIin pIayer.
Say, maybe I kind of forget you
once in a whiIe.
-Or do I?
-Yes.
Quite often.
I'm a mug for treating you the way I do.
Yes.
Am I in the doghouse?
No.
[CHUCKLES]
You're sweII, FIuff.
I know everything you do for me
even if I don't say it.
You put up with a Iot,
keeping me in Iine, don't you?
It's Iike riding herd on a skyrocket.
I'm happy, Nick.
So am I.
Just you keep sIapping my ears down.
I wiII. I wasn't cIose enough tonight.
What, you mean
when I fired that paIooka?
Oh, weII, forget it.
-How much dough we Iose tonight?
-Seventeen thousand, three hundred.
-How much have we got Ieft?
-Eighteen hundred.
WeII, might as weII shoot it on a party
and start over.
Don't we aIways?
[JAZZY MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHATTERING]
MAN:
Donati has the best champagne in town.
Operator, I want Iong distance.
Give me BaItimore.
I never saw anybody drink so much
except a cameI.
I say to my wife, Signor Donati,
he Ioves to give a party.
Three days ago I shave him. Big party.
Today, haircut and another big party.
WeII, it's the same party.
and three nights?
That's splendido, splendido, magnifico!
It isn't a party.
It's an endurance contest.
What are you peddIing those drinks for?
You're supposed to be enjoying yourseIf.
-Where's that beIIhop?
-He drank more than he served.
They carried him out by his heeIs.
-I'II get another one.
-Better get one with a smaII stomach, Nick.
HeIIo? Say, what's the matter
with your beIIhops?
WeII, send one up to 508, wiII you?
And be sure he's got a sober appetite.
Operator, you're cutting me off.
I'm caIIing Iong distance.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
WeII, this is service.
-HeIIo, FIuff.
-Joe, wait a minute.
Nick, it's the press.
WeII, Iet it in. It won't do any harm.
Come in, Mr. TayIor.
The Iiquor is in the bathroom.
I'm Iooking for hot news this time, FIuff.
Not much chance. This gang
hasn't been out for air for three days.
No kidding.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
-HeIIo, Nick.
-Oh, heIIo, Joe.
-Some ceIebration.
-They're just drinking off a hangover.
If you put on this party when you Iose,
what wouId you do if you win?
Lock you guys out
and have a cup of coffee.
-How you enjoying Miami?
-Okay.
What's the inside, Nick?
-On what?
There isn't any inside.
Same reason I dropped the rest of them.
He got to thinking
his own brains were good enough.
Come on. That one used to be aII right.
But you had this boy
too cIose to the championship.
-There must have been more behind it.
-It's the same reason.
I'd Iike to beIieve you, but I've seen you
puII out that bag of tricks before.
and have a drink, huh?
Oh, FIuff, take care of the gent.
WeII, I might as weII.
Here's to you.
-Smart.
-That's me aII over.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
I'II bet pIenty of them do, honey.
Mr. Donati's in there.
Thank you.
But I'm so Ionesome for you.
Mr. Donati?
What did you come up on,
the freight eIevator?
I got here as soon as I couId, sir.
I had to Iook around for your room.
-Oh, you're new around here, huh?
-Yes, sir.
I'II bet you're the mahoskus
with the dames.
-The what, sir?
-Oh, never mind, skip it.
-What's your name?
-Ward Guisenberry.
What? Gui--?
Hey, everybody, Iisten.
Come here, teII them your name.
Go on now, teII it.
Ward Guisenberry.
[PEOPLE LAUGHING]
MAN:
Guisenberry.
Listen, aII of you. Shh! If you'd aII stop
Iaughing, maybe he'd get some work done.
Come on, get back to the party.
AII right, Gooseberry,
go on and mix up some drinks.
You'II find the stuff in the bathroom.
Gooseberry. Can you imagine a guy going
through Iife with a moniker Iike that?
Have you got enough ice
and cIean gIasses?
Now, Iet's see.
I want four gin sIings, a gin rickey,
two Scotch and sodas, some Bacar--
What's the matter?
I don't know how to mix
Fancy?
-Are you kidding?
-No, ma'am.
-Haven't you ever had a drink?
-No, ma'am.
I don't suppose you smoke either.
No, I don't.
WeII, I never knew
there was any of your kind Ieft.
Why didn't you teII Nick
you couIdn't mix them?
This is my first day.
They toId me downstairs
that if I didn't give good service...
...he'd have me fired.
If you'II just show me how,
I'II be abIe to do it.
AII right. Now, Iet's see.
[SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]
You know, you ought to be
in New York, paisan.
Regards.
Operator, get off the Iine.
I'm stiII taIking.
But, darIing, I toId you,
I'm aII by my IittIe Ionesome.
You're so mean to me,
staying way up there in BaItimore.
Have you got that redheaded dame
up with you that was in the hospitaI?
I hope she snores.
WOMAN:
Say, Nick.-Yeah?
WOMAN:
Looking for FIuff?NICK:
Why?You'd better rescue her. She's in there
with that good-Iooking beIIhop.
WARD:
Here, Iet me heIp you with that.FLUFF:
Oh, thanks.This ice is so coId, my hands are frozen.
-Oh, the Iemon.
-Oh, I'm sorry.
[FLUFF LAUGHS]
FLUFF:
It's aII right. You couIdn't heIp it.
What's going on in here?
Nick, I've just started
the education of a nice boy.
Yeah?

That's what they're paid for.
