# Baby, baby, we can shed this skin

# We can know how we feel inside

# Instead of goin' down an endless road

# Not knowin' if we're dead or alive

# Cos some things are worth fightin' for

# Some feelings never die

# I'm not askin' for another chance

# I just wanna know why

# There's no easy way out

# There's no shortcut home

# There's no easy way out

# Givin' in, givin' in can't be wrong, no

Be careful with those plaid ones.

They belong to the boss.

Paulie, did you pack your toothbrush?

You know how tobacco stains your teeth.

- If I've told you once, I've told you...

- Hey! Hey!

- Stop bustin' my chops.

- Paulie!

I'm gonna have her wires

tied when I get back.

When will you be back?

- Oh, pretty soon.

- Are you scared?

- Nah.

- Yes, you are. A little, maybe?

Well, wouldn't you be?

If a big giant man wanted to

beat me up, I'd be real scared.

Well, the truth is, you know, sometimes...

...I do get a little scared, you know.

When I'm in that ring

and I'm really gettin' hit on...

...and my arms hurt so much I can't

even lift them, and I'm thinkin'...

..."God! I wish this guy would hit me on

the chin so I don't feel nothin' any more."

Then there's another side that

comes out that isn't so scared.

There's another side that, like...

...wants to take more,

that wants to go that one more round...

...because by goin' that one more round

when you don't think you can...

...that's what makes all the difference

in your life. You know what I mean?

And will you remember one more thing?

Will you remember that... Daddy thinks

you're the best boy in the world, hm?

And that Daddy loves you...

no matter what?

Will you?

I gotta go now.

- You gonna take care of everythin'?

- OK.

And don't forget to feed your robot.

Bye, baby.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Come on! The meter's runnin'!

(# "Burning Heart" by Survivor)

# Two worlds collide, rival nations

# It's a primitive clash,

venting years of frustration

# Bravely we hope against all hope

# There is so much at stake

# Seems our freedom's

up against the ropes

# Does the crowd understand?

# Is it East versus West

# Or man against man?

# Can any nation stand alone?

# In the burning heart

# Just about to burst

# There's a quest for answers,

an unquenchable thirst

# In the darkest night...

What a horrendous flight.

This is Russia?

It don't look so tough, Rock.

Mr Balboa.

(speaks Russian)

We take you to quarters now.

Hey, when does the sun come up?

This is detrimental to my sinuses.

Weather changes, hour to hour.

Get used to it.

(speaks Russian)

Get in car now. We have very long trip.

He sounds like Dracula's cousin.

# In the warrior's code

there's no surrender

# Though his body says "Stop",

his spirit cries "Never!"

# Deep in our soul a quiet ember

# Knows it's you against you

# It's the paradox that drives us on

# It's a battle of wills

# In the heat of attack,

it's the passion that kills

# That victory is yours alone

# In the burning heart

# Just about to burst

# There's a quest for answers,

an unquenchable thirst

# In the darkest night, rising like a spire

# In the burning heart,

the unmistakable fire

Like you requested, yes?

- You requested this dumb location?

- Yeah.

Why? You plannin' to grow

reindeer or somethin'?

- I just wanted to get away from things.

- The equipment you requested is in barn.

- Who are they?

- They?

They are assigned to you.

Official chaperons, yes?

Where you go, they go.

Oh, I have a bad dream here.

- Paul, it's OK.

- OK? This is below human standards.

There's no antennas.

You gotta complain. We'll crack out here!

You have everything

I have been instructed to provide.

We are finished, yes? Da svidaniya.

(Paulie) No sparrin'?

I don't think I need it any more, Paulie.

No sparrin', no TV, nothin'?

How the heck is he supposed

to train around here?

No TV. What about the Rose Bowl game?

No room service, I bet.

I hope they got my comics here.

What a depressing vacation.

Aagh!

Aagh!

Goddamn!

(tape) All right, you Chipmunks.

Ready to sing your song?

# Christmas, Christmastime is here

# Time for toys and time for cheer

# We've been good, but we can't last...

Checkmate, friend.

(knock at door)

- Yeah?

- Hey, champ. Can I come up?

Yeah, sure.

- How you doin'?

- Pretty good.

- Some kinda weather we're havin', huh?

- Yeah, it's pretty rough.

But for what you gotta do, it's good.

- Toughen you up.

- I guess so.

I know you're gonna have to do almost

everything alone, but I'll be with you.

Yeah, I know.

Apollo was like my son.

I raised him.

And when he died... a part of me died.

But now... you're the one.

You're the one that's gonna keep

his spirit alive. You're the one...

...that's gonna make sure

that he didn't die for nothing.

Now you're gonna have

to go through hell...

...worse than any nightmare

that you ever dreamed.

But in the end...

I know you'll be the one standin'.

I'll try.

I'll try.

You know what you gotta do.

Do it.

Do it!

Thanks, Duke.

I couldn't stay away any more.

I missed you.

I missed you.

I'm with you, no matter what.

No matter what?

No matter what.

(# "Heart's on Fire" by John Cafferty)

# Silent darkness creeps into your soul

# And removes the light of self-control

# The cage that holds

you captive has no doors

# Burnin' with determination

# To even out the score

# Heart's on fire

# Strong desire

# Rages deep within

# Heart's on fire

# Fever's risin' high

# The moment of truth is here

# Oh!

No pain. No pain.

# Heart's on fire

# Strong desire

# Rages deep within

# Fever's risin'

# Energisin'

# Fight until the end

# Heart's on fire

# Strong desire

# Rages deep within

Drago!

Drago!

Drago!

Hello, and merry Christmas

from a very unusual place.

We're in Moscow. I'm Barry Tompkins,

along with Al Bandiero...

...and this promises to be the most

watched event in boxing history.

The Iron Horse from America, Rocky

Balboa, comes here to the Soviet Union...

Ivan Drago:
Since that tragedy in Las

Vegas and the death of Apollo Creed...

...he's been re-nicknamed

"Death from Above".

(chanting) Drago! Drago!

The general secretary of the Soviet

and other members of the Politburo...

...have now made their way to their seats

high above the ring here in Moscow.

I know you're kinda busy, but I wanna

tell you some things I never told you.

I know sometimes I act stupid and I say

stupid things, but you kept me around...

...when other people would've said

"Drop that bum." You give me respect.
