Rocky II Page #7

You're gonna crap thunder!

We'll have to put you in a cage, kid.

- Let's take a break, all right?

- Break? What break?

Where are you goin'? We're not finished.

Hey, I said where the hell you goin'?

Ooh!

Ohh...

(Mickey) Speed! Speed!

Catch that punk!

Speed! Speed!

Can't you catch that little squirt?

Can't you? Get the lead out!

Move! Move! Fast!

You look dead. If you're gonna

catch that little speedball...

...you're gonna catch Creed easy.

Come on! Move! Move!

Right. Time!

Hey, dead ass. Get over here.

Hey, are you sick, kid?

Kid, what's the matter with you?

- Nothin'.

- Let me tell you somethin', kid.

Now, for a 45-minute fight,

you gotta train hard for 45,000 minutes.

That's ten hours a day. You listenin'?

And you ain't even trained one.

I don't know what the hell you're

waitin' for. What are you waitin' for?

I don't know.

Suit yourself.

- Yo, Rocky.

- Hey, yo, Paulie. How you doin'?

I'm worried about you. I've been watchin'.

Your head ain't screwed on right.

Nah, come on. I'm doin' OK.

You know, I've been thinking.

Would you like to work in my corner?

Wanna get involved in this fight?

- What? Watchin' you get murdered?

- Oh, come on. I'm doin' OK.

My sister got you so guilty,

you're runnin' all over the place.

- She'll be all right.

- It ain't all right.

Hey, Paulie, it's OK, all right?

- It's not OK.

- Just leave Adrian alone, all right?

Yo, Adrian! Where are ya?

- Paulie.

- Yeah, Paulie. What the hell you doin'?

- What do you mean?

- What the hell you doin'?

- About what?

- About messin' up that guy over there.

Don't start. I'm just

trying to keep him safe.

Yeah, what?

Feedin' these goddamn squirrels?

Did I teach you how to do that?

Ditchin' a guy when he needs your help?

- I can't believe my ears.

- You didn't teach me anything, Paulie.

- And I never hurt Rocky.

- You're messin' up his brain real bad.

- That's not what I'm doing.

- Yeah, don't tell me!

- He's gonna get hurt because of you!

- It's not true.

- Don't say that!

- I'm sayin' it.

- Come across and tell him it's all right.

- If he goes blind, you walk away.

I can't. I love him. You don't!

What are you doin'?

What are you doin'? What's wrong?

Adrian, what's the matter?

Come on. Where are your guts?

What's your problem, Mick?

- My problem?

- Yeah.

You got the problem, kid.

You got a ticker problem.

What's the matter?

You got nothin' left inside?

Cos you're trainin' like a damn bum,

you know that?

- Bum?

- A bum.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I ain't got it no more.

All right. Then don't you waste

my time no more. You hear that?

Go away!

Go back to the docks where you belong.

You go back to bein' a two-bit nothin'!

But don't you ever come back here again,

because I'm too old to waste my time...

...tryin' to train

a no-good loser like you, you bum!

- They want you across the street.

- What's up?

Your wife's sick.

Mr Balboa? I'm Dr Cooper. The baby is

fine, even though it's a month premature.

- What is it?

- It's a boy.

Holy smoke. I didn't know she could do it.

How's Adrian? Where is Adrian?

She's had complications.

Like what?

She was haemorrhaging

when she was brought in.

The premature delivery was most likely

caused by strain of overwork...

...and the sudden loss of blood

has caused her to slip into a coma.

Adrian, it's... it's me.

They said outside you're very sick, but I...

I don't wanna believe that.

Maybe you're just tired, you know.

Don't worry about nothin'.

You just sleep as long as you want, OK?

And I'm gonna be here

when you wake up.

(knocking)

Rocky, come on.

You're not doin' any good here.

Let's go see the kid.

No. We gotta see him together.

It's OK. We gotta see him together.

Mr Balboa, visiting hours are over.

Can't I stay? I'll be quiet.

I'm sorry. Hospital rules.

I can't do any more of this watchin' stuff.

Do you have a chapel?

Yes, we do.

Good night.

Hi, Rock.

Uh...

That Adrian... she's a good girl.

Me, you know, I'm sorry for both of ya.

Hm?

Well... there's nothin' I can do, is there?

Except...

I'd like to tell you somethin' once,

and then I ain't gonna say it again.

Well, Rocky, you got a... another shot.

It's a second shot.

At the, uh... I don't know,

the biggest title in the world.

And you're gonna be swappin' punches...

...with the most dangerous

fighter in the world.

And just in case, you know,

your brain ain't workin' so good...

...all this happens pretty soon.

And you ain't ready.

You're nowhere near in shape.

So I say, you know, for God's sake...

...why don't you stand up and fight

this guy hard, like you done before?

That was beautiful!

But don't lay down

in front of him like this!

Like a... I don't know,

like some kind of mongrel or somethin'.

Cos he's gonna kick your face in pieces.

You know that? That's right.

This guy just don't wanna win, you know.

He wants to bury ya.

He wants to humiliate ya.

He wants to prove to the whole world...

...that it was nothin' but

some kind of a freak the first time out.

He said you're a one-time lucky bum.

Well, now...

I don't...

I don't wanna get mad...

...in a biblical place like this...

...but I think you're a hell of a lot

more than that, kid. A hell of a lot.

But, no, wait a minute. If you wanna

blow it, if you wanna blow this thing...

...dammit, I'm gonna blow it with ya.

Do you wanna stay here?

I'll stay with you.

I'll stay with you.

Yeah.

I'll stay and pray.

What have I got to lose?

It's gonna be OK.

"'There ain't no other trail to the ranch,

or no shorter one."'

"'Oh, yes, there is' said Marvel."

"'When I was a kid, I helped my old man

trail some cattle up from the border."'

Can you hear me, Adrian?

Keep listening. Keep listening.

"After breakfast, Bruce watched

the party get away on the chase."

"He saw Cora and Kay and Bud...

...start up the valley

"At the last minute, the girl..."

Well, I just wrote

this thing for you, Adrian.

I don't know... maybe you'll like it.

I'll just read it to ya, cos, uh...

"Remember when we was on ice skates

And I thought you were

supposed to be great?"

"But I kept givin' you lip

And you kept tryin' to slip

So I could catch you?"

"That was our first date

And after that every day was great."

"So now I want you to know

That wherever you go

Atlantic City or in the snow

Don't worry about a thing

Cos as long as I got this ring

I'll always be there to catch you."

I knew you'd come back.

(Rocky) Thank God.

Anybody want a refill?

Adrian, it cost six bucks a bottle.

- I don't need that. I ain't drinkin' now.

- So, you haven't seen the baby?

- I was waitin' to see him together.

- I seen the kid.

The kid's a winner.

He's got forearms like you, Mickey.

- (nurse clears throat)

- Here he is now. Look.

- There's your mommy.

- Oh, baby!

Is that it?

- I can't believe it. He's ours?

- Yeah.

- He's really ours?

- Thank you.

Come on. You done all the work.

Adrian, I can't believe you done this.
