- Yeah, there's a few.

- I don't think so.

To fight a creature like this,

you gotta have 100lb of brain damage.

I seen wrestlers that was bigger than

dinosaurs. You ever fight a dinosaur?

- No, not lately.

- They can cause a variety of damage.

The wrestling champion

of the world is here...

...and he is quite a sight,

all decked out in red.

- Why are they carryin' him?

- He's walkin'.

I'm comin' after you, Balboa.

- Let's call it off.

- Aw, come on. It's for charity.

You're wearin' your anatomy out.

Nobody else does this much for charity.

- Bob Hope would.

- That's true.

Rocky, you better call Bob Hope.

(booing)

To all my love slaves out there...

...Thunderlips is here... in the flesh, baby.

Oh, my God.

The Ultimate Male,

versus the ultimate meatball.

Boy, he is a monster!

How much would you take...

...even to get in the ring with him?

- Would you like to start at Fort Knox?

In the white corner, an incredible sight.

Standing nearly seven feet...

...weighing 390lb...

- Large, ain't he?

...the undisputed wrestling champion...

That's the biggest arm in the world!

A man who calls himself

the ultimate object of desire...

...the mountain of molten lust...

...the one, the only... Thunderlips!

(cheering and jeering)

You're all trash! You're all trash!

You're all trash!

(booing and jeering)

- The slugger from Philadelphia...

- (cheering)

You better shut up.

I'll break him in half!

- How much do you think he eats?

- About 202lb.

Weighing 202lb...

...the reigning heavyweight champion

of the world, Rocky Balboa.

(cheering)

- (referee) Come to the centre of the ring.

- OK, come on, Mick.

All right, you guys. This is for fun,

so take it easy and give 'em a good show.

Listen, after the match, how about

we get a Polaroid together, OK?

(growls) You're in trouble, buster.

He got me mad! I'm gonna

break him in half like this!

Lately, everybody wants to beat me up.

(Mick)

This is entertainment. Fun and games.

Stay awake, make faces.

Move around the ring.

(Paulie) He is the ring.

(Mick)

I get nervous every time he does that.

- (bell rings)

- (yells)

Whoa! You move fast for a big guy.

Why don't we just move around?

Give 'em a good show first.

I'll chase you, and you chase me.

How's that? All right?

I'll go easy. Here you go. Is that OK?

Does that hurt? All right?

How's that? OK? Not bad, huh?

- Come on, meatball.

- (groans)

Think it's all fake, meatball?

Thunderlips has gone absolutely berserk.

- Run for your life.

- Life's tough, meatball!

Get up, boy. Come on, meatball.

Get some of this right here.

Rocko, remember the neighbourhood!

Get out of his way!

No, no. I'm not yet - not for the meatball.

I'm not throwing in yet, boy!

If I can't break your spirit,

I sure enough can break your back.

- Is Daddy having fun?

- Of course.

Somebody get me a hatchet.

- Holy smoke.

- Here we go, baby! Nice drop, meatball.

Oh, my God. Balboa is really in pain.

No one can believe the superhuman

strength of Thunderlips. I am the man!

- Stop him, will ya?

- You want this punching bag?

- Adrian!

- Rocky!

Catch me!

(Dennis) Incredible!

Balboa was just heaved into the fifth row!

Now the fans are outraged too!

He's got me mad!

I'm gonna drag him down like a dirty rag!

You weakling, Balboa.

Take it easy, take it easy.

- Mickey, you OK?

- It's my heart.

The security guards are rushing in,

trying to stop this slaughter.

- Teeth are flying all around.

- Cut my gloves off.

Cut my gloves off!

The place is a zoo.

This place has turned into a zoo!

You want me to get a doctor?

You're sure?

(Dennis) The girls have gotten

into it now. They're getting beat up.

- I'll be right back.

- You're a maniac! Come back here!

- What are you doing?

- (Mickey) Come back here!

- Come on!

- Out of the way, worms! I'm comin' up.

Come on, come on!

All right, Thunderlips. Break it up!

No choking. No choking.

Paulie, don't!

I don't sweat you.

(booing)

Hang on there, kid.

How d'you like it?

I don't need this.

Rocky hanging on like a bull terrier.

Now he's going for the stranglehold.

(chanting) Rocky! Rocky!

The body!

(cheering)

Knock his block off!

No-o-o-o!

(Dennis) It's unbelievable!

Rocky actually did it!

- The human skyscraper is out of the ring!

- (bell rings)

Right. That's it! Time is up.

Ladies and gentlemen... we have a draw.

Thank you for attending

the annual charity match...

...between the Italian Stallion,

Rocky Balboa...

...and Thunderlips, the Ultimate Male.

See you next year. Thank God.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, pretty good.

Good match.

- Why'd you get so crazy on me out there?

- That's the name of the game.

While you're still calm,

can we get that Polaroid together?

- Yeah, sure.

- Adrian, come on over here.

- My wife Adrian, my kid... Thunderlips.

- Ow! That hurt!

That's all right.

You know, sometimes charity really hurts.

And Pinocchio told a lie, you see,

and his nose started growing real big.

- Why didn't his ears grow?

- I don't know. I didn't write the story.

- Are you fighting again?

- No, I don't plan on fighting today.

- Promise?

- Promise. Definitely. I promise.

- Good, I like you here.

- Yeah? I like being here.

Are you gettin' hungry?

You want some breakfast?

- Some Wheaties? What are Wheaties?

- Champions.

- Breakfast of what? Champions!

- (honks horn)

(Rocky) The father bear says

"Somebody's been sleepin' in my bed."

The little bear said "Somebody's been

sleepin' in my bed, and there she is."

He pulls back the covers, exposing her

to the, you know, public. See?

Eat your cereal before it sinks.

- What happened to Goldilocks?

- I'm not exactly sure.

- Busted for trespassing and got 30 days.

- That's real nice, Paulie.

Rocky. Rocky, the car is waiting.

- Go ahead. You guys better go.

- Be a good boy now.

We'll have a fun time, me and the kid.

(Paulie) Mrs Stallion,

you almost look pretty good.

Oh. Thank you, Paulie.

Don't give the kid any beer.

And, Paulie, don't take him to the track.

- How you doin', Mick?

- Pretty good.

Now we got a problem in the seventh.

(# Rocky theme)

Whatever happened to them

quiet, tender moments?

(cheering and whistling)

Thank you. Thank you, one and all.

Every once in a while, a person

comes along who defies the odds...

...who defies logic...

and fulfils an incredible dream.

On behalf of all the citizens of

Philadelphia...

...and those touched

by your accomplishments...

...and your untiring participation

in this city's many charity functions...

...it is with great honour

that we present this memorial...

...which will stand always as a celebration

to the indomitable spirit of man.

Philadelphia salutes

its favourite son... Rocky Balboa!

(cheering)

- It's beautiful.

- Definitely a thing of beauty.

(chanting) Rocky! Rocky!

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I don't know, what... what do you say

to something like this?
