Union Cane,

the new champion of the world.

- You think I have a chance at that?

- Absolutely.

Tommy, anybody who's got two fists

and a good heartbeat, they got a chance.

# Like a monsoon typhoon

stompin' in the worst way

# Here to stay, no play, hear what I say?

You're out!

# Renegade, cannot be slayed

# You wanna rate me? 'A' is my grade

# Move and groove

till you lookin' like a pro

Taking 'em out

with a rock-hard body blow

Tom!

# With a rock-hard body blow

# With a rock-hard body blow

# With a rock-hard body blow

# Quick on the draw, shoot for the jaw

# Stone through the bone,

brother stand tall

You got hands of gold.

I want to introduce somebody.

# Ring the bell, feel the vibrations

# Straight to the kill for best stimulation

# Calculation for the situation

# At the end it's total ovation

# Keep it up

Yo, Tommy!

# Keep it up

# Keep it up

# Don't you stop now

# Keep it up

# Keep it up

# Keep it up

# Keep it up

# Keep it up

# Keep it up

# Make 'em sweat, whipped like a high toy

# Control your mind

like you were an android

# Landlord of fighters,

others are my tenants

# I'm hard, I said it, you know it, I meant it

# I control your souls, hold the contract

# Adrenaline, feels good like a climax

That's it. It's over!

# With a rock-hard body blow

Back him up!

# With a rock-hard body blow

- That's it!

- There's your boat, Rocks.

- What boat?

- The one that's sinking.

# Keep it up

Tommy Gunn at the top.

You come with the Duke...

...you can get the kind of payday fights

Balboa could only dream about.

To the victor goes the spoils.

Slip the jab, Tommy!

Yes!

- You're out!

- (bell)

- You did great, kid! You did it!

- Now am I gonna get a shot at the title?

- Yeah, you will real soon.

- Tommy, over here!

Hey, baby! How are you?

The winner, at two minutes ten seconds...

So Rocky,

when's Tommy up against Union Cane?

- Uh, we gotta talk about that.

- Get a life, will ya?

- Rocko, he ain't worth it, buddy.

- He fought a great fight.

Your ship has sunk, Rocko. It's sunk.

Must be hung up in traffic.

He should have been here by now.

- Why?

- It's Christmas.

- He should be here with his family.

- Maybe he doesn't think it is his family.

Sure it is... Yo, Adrian, look at this.

I wanna give this to him.

What do you think?

I think you've given enough.

Hey, come on, Adrian.

He's given us some things too.

He's given us like a second shot, right?

Come on, it's Christmas.

Only in America!

Havin' the best and wearin' the best.

- But you gotta stay on top.

- Nobody remembers number two.

- I sure don't.

- I checked with the boxing commission.

It seems there's no formal contract

between you and Balboa.

No, nothin'. Just a handshake.

This is a complex business. You got to

stay sharp. I don't have to tell you that.

It's hard livin' in Rocky's shadow,

people callin' you his puppet.

No one else could do it so long.

Tommy, I'm afraid that if you

keep goin' the way you're goin'...

...you're gonna be

watchin' the parade go by.

- Exactly.

- You haven't had the big payday yet.

And you won't until you fight those

top contenders that I do surely own.

I got the contracts.

It's a complex business.

But if you want the best, go with the best.

- What about Rocky?

- Rocky can still train you.

My God, he's done a wonderful job.

Now look, here's $20,000.

Take it as an advance.

Time to put some hustle

behind this muscle. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Stop the presses!

Yo, Adrian, I can't believe it.

Just come up on the roof, will you?

He just landed there and crashed.

- Who do you think it is?

- Do I hear reindeer on my roof?

You know...

Antlers. Unbelievable. It's like a billion...

Whoa! Come on. Look who's here.

You know this guy!

- You got a weird family.

- Don't I know?

It's gonna be next Christmas before he

gets down. Hey, put it together for Santa!

- Merry Xmas. Yo, yo, yo!

- I don't think you got it right, Santa.

- No, no, no. It's "Ho, ho, ho!"

- What's the freakin' difference?

- Where I come from it's "Yo, yo, yo!"

- Looks like we got a 90 proof Santa.

Hey, Santa, tell all the kids

what you've got in the bag for them...

...that you brought from the north.

- I got my laundry.

- No, you got the wrong bag.

- Come on, Chubby. Get outta the way.

Let Santa sit down. Come here, little boy.

- You been nice?

- Uncle Paulie!

- Kid, why not tell Santa what you need?

- He's stretchin' the clothes, man.

- I don't need nothin'.

- Come on, kid. Tell Santa what you want.

That ain't Santa.

It's Uncle Paulie. Let's get real.

What do you mean?

Why are you talkin' like that?

We're just tryin' to have a good time.

Santa's here and everything...

It's stupid!

Yo, you know... Come on, it ain't stupid.

We're just tryin' to pretend here.

You see, you're supposed to be

pretending. It's like this game, right?

I don't like pretending.

You guys talk to Santa.

Hey, kid, I ain't talkin' to them.

I'm talkin' with you here.

See, it's very important that

you spend time with the family...

...and have a good time and just get the

spirit goin', you know? It's good, right?

Good for what? Come on, let's go.

His friends are here. He doesn't want to.

- Adrian, I know what he wants.

- How do you know what I want?

- Cos I know you.

- You know me?

He thinks he knows me.

- Look, I ain't celebratin' nothin', OK?

- Hey, wait. What's the matter with you?

We always done this before. We always

had a good time. It don't have to change.

Do you remember last year, when

we had fun, when we had a good time?

It ain't last year and

you ain't the same either.

What?!

Adrian, what did I do?

Go talk to him.

Even I coulda saw this thing happening.

I shoulda went to Miami

when I had the chance.

You wanna talk? Let's talk.

Well, you know,

I thought we was supposed to be like...

You know, be very close.

Hey, come on, kid. I love you.

No, you don't.

Sure I do. Remember what the deal was?

We was supposed to be tight,

like crossed fingers.

You want you and Tommy to be tight.

That's what you're talkin' about.

- Oh, don't say that!

- Why can't I say it?

Since he came it's Tommy this,

Tommy that.

You got no time for nobody,

so I got no time for you.

What are you sayin'?

You're like another person.

You're the other person. You said I would

be number one to you and you lied!

You lied to me and you lied to Mom!

I never lied to you.

Tommy needed my help.

So did I.

And remember when you said to

watch out for scams and deceptions?

Yeah?

You're the one that shoulda watched out.

- Where are you going?

- Out!

- When'll you be back?

- Later.

- Later? When?

- Later.

Season's greetings, Mrs Balboa!

You take care of these people.

Behold the Santa for all seasons!

Are you guys lost?

Au contraire, mon ami.

I know exactly where I am.

Yo, Rocko! Guess what's comin' to dinner.

Tommy Gunn's got new friends.

(Duke) New friends for a new year!
