Rocky II Page #3

I think you're gonna really like it.

Solid. That's good to know.

Hey, Adrian, that's a great spot for a radio.

Right over there, you know.

Look at these steps. Nice steps.

- Hey, nice kitchen.

- Nice.

Nice kitchen, yes.

- What are taxes every year?

- 1500.

- 1500.

- Hey, Adrian, I like it.

I know a pretty good deal

when I see one, too.

Excuse me. I wanna talk

to my husband for one second.

- Can I talk to you?

- Sure. I got no appointments.

Rocky, you are making

this man's job very easy.

The bank said it will give us

a $16,000 first mortgage at 91 per cent.

That don't matter.

I say we get the house now, huh?

- We didn't even go upstairs.

- That's just details. I'm sure it's nice.

- Details, huh? Are you sure?

- Absolutely. OK?

All right, we'll take the house.

And it better not leak, or else.

I wanted to tell you... Excuse me.

Could you stand over there?

- I gotta talk secretly with my wife.

- Sure. I understand.

Yeah.

I kinda feel stupid talkin' like this

with the lights on and everything...

...but the house here and solid oak floors

and all that stuff, and the plumbing...

...wouldn't be nothin'

without you bein' here.

Without you bein' here, I probably...

I wouldn't be here either, you know.

- You don't have to speak.

- No?

(# hums wedding march)

OK. Let's go celebrate here.

- I'll beat you to the pool!

- Hey, you guys! Slow down.

Mary Anne. Mary Anne, listen to this.

"You didn't beat nobody. Anybody who

knows boxing knows the fight was fixed."

This one came from London.

"You call yourself the champ."

"You're a fake.

The fight was a fake. Go kill yourself."

Wouldn't you rather play with

the children than read hate mail?

"How much did you get to carry that bum

for 15 rounds? You're a disgrace."

Why can't you ignore it?!

Are you serious?

Come on, let me get you in focus there.

All right, I'm ready.

- Are you blind, Rock?

- Are you gettin' wise with me?

Come on! Throw the ball, Swifty. Let me

see your best here. I'm waitin' for ya.

I'm waitin' for ya.

Come on. I'm ready now. I'm just

warmin' up. Are you ready for this?

Keep your mouth closed.

It's comin' in that direction.

- What a shot!

- Now I know the day weren't no waste.

Come on, Swifty.

- Yeah?

- Yes.

Adrian! You did it!

Oh, yeah! I knew you had it in you. You

woke up, you had a smile on your face.

I said "Somethin' special's gonna happen

today." I knew it was gonna be different.

If this kid has your good looks

and your good brains...

...and my good left hook,

he's really gonna be somethin'.

Oh, no, what if it's a girl?

What if it's a girl?

Oh, I didn't think about that.

Well, she'll be everything I'm not.

She won't have to be shy.

We could give her singing

and dancing lessons.

How about a new dress every day?

Have to hire a bodyguard when she starts

goin' to school to keep the boys away.

You know how them little boys can be.

A real pest in general.

And if it's a boy,

I'd like him to be just like the father.

Don't you think one dumbbell

in the family's enough, huh?

I'll tell you one thing -

this kid won't get no tattoos.

It ain't gonna be hanging around no

corners or dress like no wise guy like me.

He's gonna be a good somebody like you.

- Like you.

- No, no, no. Like you.

- Like you.

- No, no. Like you.

Like you.

Yo, Adrian. We did it. Didn't we?

- How you feel, Rocky?

- Pretty good.

The reason we didn't call was we wanted

to wait till the swelling went down.

- I see.

- You look terrific now.

- Yeah?

- We're gonna make a buck together.

That's good.

I got a deal today from Smart Deal Toy

Company. Did you ever hear of them?

- No.

- Did you ever hear of a Smart Deal Toy?

- No.

- No? Big. They're number one.

And they wanna make a Rocky doll.

You can kick it. You can beat it.

For kids. You can kick it.

You can beat it. It does everything.

- Pretty smart, yeah.

- Takes a terrific beating.

I think it's a great idea.

We're gonna make a lot of money.

Is he ready there?

- Finito.

- How do I look?

- The best.

- Fabulous.

- Adrian, how do I look?

- Different.

- Sensational. Come on, let's get it on.

- OK.

He's gonna be great.

- Don't be nervous.

- Yeah. How do I look?

- I look stupid, don't I?

- Yes.

- You got any deodorant?

- No.

Uh, excuse me.

All right, we're ready.

Let's go, Arthur. In the cage, Rock.

- Just the way we rehearsed.

- Everyone get ready for picture now.

Girls, come on. Look alive, dear.

Girls? Yeah.

A little higher. Show the product. That's it.

Magic time! Look alive.

- Roll, please.

- Speed.

- Beast aftershave. Take one.

- Action!

- Go now?

- Action.

In the mornin' I splash it on

and it makes me... smeel mainly.

"Smeel mainly"? Cut!

Isn't that "smell manly"?

Can you read that, Rock?

- Yeah.

- Well, let's go again.

Excuse me. I know I said it wrong,

but it really don't smell manly.

Do you think this stuff smells like a man?

I'd say absolutely no.

- Are you finished?

- I'm sorry.

- OK. Rolling again.

- Speed.

- Beast aftershave. Take two.

- Action!

In the mornin' I splash it on

and it surrounds my face with class.

Cut!

Action!

And Beast aftershave

will turn the women into beasts.

Cut!

Action!

If you want to be the king of the beasts

and smell like a jungle rat...

Cat... rat... cat... They look alike.

Action!

In the afternoon when I put it on

to go out with the guys...

...and have a rendezvouse...

- Cut! Cut! We're cutting this set.

- We're going to the alternate set.

- I can get it. It's...

- I'm sure you can. Get out of the cage.

- The word "rendezvous"...

Rendezvous over to the other set,

Rock, if you don't mind.

- Sure.

- We've only wasted four hours.

Arthur, let's reorganise.

We're going to the alternate set.

It sounded great inside,

before it come out like that.

Get the damn club away from him

and get the girls into their outfits.

Where is the wardrobe people?

Where are the prop people?

All right, wet him down.

- Arthur, step out, please.

- Speed.

Beast aftershave: "The Contender."

Take seven.

Try to get it right. Action!

Hi. My name is Rocky Balboa,

the Italian Stallion.

They say I'm the American dream,

but not cos...

- Can I do it over again?

- Christ! Cut.

No, just keep it rolling. Keep it rolling.

Just read it off the dummy cards.

- Dummy cards?

- Please! Go on.

Wait a minute. I'd like to

explain somethin'. I ain't punchy.

I got what you call, like, I don't know,

a relaxed brain, but I ain't punchy.

- It's just the way I talk here.

- What's the difference?

- Can you just do it the way it's written?

- That ain't right.

- This whole thing here ain't right.

- What isn't right?

Well, you're a rude guy.

I'm trying very hard.

- That's bad manners, ain't it, Adrian?

- Yes.

I'll tell you, I gotta be almost punchy

to be doin' this in front of my wife.

You wanna quit? Then quit!

Leave! Get outta here!

I didn't want you in the first place.

You have wasted our time, sir. This is
