- Dad, I met this really nice girl today.

- Really? That's wonderful.

- She's a lot better than...

- Wait a minute. Don't change the station.

I'll be right back.

I just wanna tell Tommy a few things.

Hey, who was your best friend

back in Orlando?

- Uh, that's Oklahoma.

- Well, yeah.

- Um, Eric Elder.

- No, no, no, no.

Your best friend is

a guy named Frankie Fear.

You see, fear is a fighter's best friend.

It ain't nothin' to be ashamed of.

You see, fear keeps you sharp. It keeps

you awake. It makes you wanna survive.

But the thing is,

you gotta learn how to control it.

Cos fear is like this fire

and it's burning deep inside.

Now, if you control it, Tommy,

it's gonna make you hot.

But, you see,

if this thing here controls you...

...it's gonna burn you and everything

else around you up. That's right.

Anyway, these are the things

that was taught to me...

...and, if you want, I'd like to teach to you.

Does, uh...

this mean you're gonna manage me?

- Absolutely. Hey, home team.

- All right!

- Let's go for it.

- Do you mind showin' me a few things?

Sure, Tommy. I'll show you a lot of things.

Hey, rich boy!

How much you got in your pocket today?

- Nothin'.

- Come on, let's have it.

- I got nothin'.

- Come on, gimme the money.

- Come on!

- Hey, I gotta eat.

He's hungry, he's gotta eat. Well, eat this.

I got it. Go!

Father Carmine! Yo!

Father Carmine!

- Maybe he's not home.

- Priests is always home.

- Oh, Rocky!

- Yo!

Ma perch non battesti la porta?

I didn't wanna

disturb you that much, Father.

Che disturbo! E la famiglia, com'e?

Oh, excellent. Everything is perfect.

Father, this is my new friend,

Tommy Gunn.

Tanto piacere di fare la conoscenza!

- Che posso fare per te, Rocky?

- I was wondering...

Tommy here's a fighter

and I'm his manager.

I wondered if you'd do me a favour,

if you ain't busy.

Could you throw us a couple blessings?

One, that I don't mess up as a manager.

And B, that Tommy does

as good as I think he can do: Great.

- And don't get hurt. Could you do that?

- Ma sicuro! 'U piacere e mio!

In nome del padre, del figlio e

dello spirito santo... E cosi sia.

I love it when he does that.

Thanks, Father! Really appreciate this!

- Tanto piacere. Any time.

- OK. I'll see you in church.

Si, sicuramente. Venite tutti due!

- Hey, man, what'd you do this for?

- It don't hurt havin' an angel on your side.

- Hey, Rock! How's it goin'?

- Doin' great, guys!

Slow down or you'll get a ticket!

- This is Tommy Gunn. He'll be a champ.

- How you doin', Tom?

(bell)

All right, break it up! Break! Break!

Get off the ropes!

- Go easy.

- Man, I need more work.

- No, you're ready.

- No, this guy's killin' me.

- You're ready now. You're perfect.

- He's killin' me!

- I feel weak.

- No, listen to me. Shut up!

Mick used to say the only difference

between a hero and a coward...

...is the hero's willing to

go for it. Take the shot.

This guy here is scared too.

You're both scared.

Remember in the basement we talked

about fear? How it was like this fire?

You gotta control it or it burns you up.

Or it's gonna burn him up.

Make it work for you, Tommy.

I would never do nothin'

to hurt you, understand?

Fear is like this fire, OK? Now let it burn

until it becomes like this volcano.

When you see the openin',

explode all over this guy, OK?

Now, you can take him, OK?

It ain't all muscle, it's all heart.

Heart and fire! Heart and fire!

OK, now you do it!

Remember,

I'm like this angel on your shoulder.

I ain't gonna let nothin'

happen to you. Go for it!

# "Go for lt! (Heart and Fire!)"

By Joey B Ellis and Tynetta Hare

Come on, Tommy. Jab!

# Go for it!

Left, right!

The body! The body!

# Born to be or not to be, dope,

that's the question

# Are you gonna stop or keep on rushin'

# Farther, faster,

quicker than the next man

# To be the best is the master plan

# Go on with all you got,

give it your best shot

# Don't ever think about tryin' to stop

# Keep reachin',

pushin', hopin' for perfection

# Make up the direction,

don't ever stop for a moment

# Prove you want it, if you got it,

flaunt it and get up on it

# Go for yours,

not for a minute but all the time

# You better do it, cos I'm goin' for mine

# Go for it!

# Heart and fire

# Go, go, go

# I see it in your eyes

# Go for it!

# Heart and fire

# Go, go for it!

# You've got to go for the feelin'

# It's time for the rhyme

of the bold and the gifted

# Listen closely and you'll get lifted

# Higher than you ever been before

# Get more than you

bargained for, for sure

# Life can be a trip, full of trouble

# But you gotta stand up

and fight back double

# Don't let nothin' hold you back, yo

# When life says stop, you say go, go

Go to the body, Tommy!

That's it, that's it. Whoa!

Sam, you OK? Hey, Tommy Gunn!

You got some guns, don't ya?

# Cos I know you got the knack

Rocky!

# Go for it!

# I see it in your eyes

Drive through it. 45. Go on now.

# You got to go for the feelin'

And ten. Come on, you can do it.

You got it. Come on, bring it up... Yes!

(Rocky) I got you this time!

(bell)

Tommy, these trunks

is very special to me, you know?

Dig!

# Go for it!

Way to go, kid! That was great.

(crowd chants) Tommy! Tommy!

# Go for it, go for it, go for it

# I see it in your eyes

# Go for it!

- # Heart and fire

- All right, kid.

# You've got to go for the feelin'

Yeah! Whoo!

- I beat the man. I don't believe it.

- You sure did. You're very swift, Tommy.

# To be or not to be, dope,

that's the question

# Are you gonna stop or keep on rushin'?

# Farther, faster,

quicker than the next man

# To be the best is the master plan

Yeah, Merlin. Listen, I got an idea.

I think we can finally nail Balboa.

# Go for it!

They're waitin' again.

- If you want, I got almost a dollar.

- Save it.

- Slummin' again, bimbo?

- Hey, what you got in the bag?

Hey, stupid! What, you not talkin' to me?

I'll pound your teeth out.

- Go for it.

- What'd he say? Punk's losin' his mind.

- What'd you say?

- Go for it!

Come on! Put up your hands! Come on!

No way! I didn't like him anyway.

I think that belongs to me.

(kids chant) Robert! Robert!

If you wanna end this, let's end it now.

Yeah, I got no problem with that.

See you later.

- (school bell)

- I can't believe it.

- Are you gonna tell your dad?

- Yeah.

Good. That's it. One more time.

Look, you're doin' great

at combinations...

...but you gotta learn to move

side to side like a windshield wiper...

...so you ain't gettin' kicked with the jab.

- Dad! Dad!

I got my coat back! Look, I got my coat!

Oh, that's great, kid. That's beautiful.

I trashed this guy. Everybody

in the school went crazy. Everybody!

- Rocky, I'm coolin' down over here.

- I gotta get back with Tommy.

He's coolin' down. But go tell your mom.

She'd like to hear that. That's beautiful.

OK, let's go, Tommy.

Whoa! Lookin' good!

Whoa! Look at Tommy go!
