champion of the world.
Norma, he'll be all right.
Sure, he will.
He's hard and tough.
He can take anything. But I can't.
He had to lose some time.
It isn't whether he loses or wins.
All he has to do is step into that ring
and I like to run and hide...
...knowing maybe they'll hurt him,
cripple him.
Did you ever tell this to Rocky?
Did you ever ask him to stop fighting?
It's his whole life. Everything he's got.
Then it's your whole life too.
Don't ever make the mistake
of forgetting that, like I did.
That's right.
I didn't marry a man, did I?
I married a middleweight.
Come, Yolanda, we must go.
Norma has to fix her face.
Soon her husband will be coming home.
A husband who's just been knocked out
for the first time in his life.
Hi.
Yeah, hi.
What are you doing?
Ironing.
What? Tonight?
Has to be done sometime. You hungry?
Hey, look, did you hear the fight tonight
or didn't you?
Yes, I heard it.
There's some chicken in the refrigerator
and I saved you a piece of blueberry pie.
What? Is that all you got to say to me?
- You were terrible.
- Oh, thanks. That's all I need.
You hit him with everything you had
and couldn't finish him.
You had him flat on his back
and still couldn't finish him.
Then he hits you, one punch...
One punch in that spaghetti basket
of yours and... you're through.
Yeah, wait till next time.
It's all set in March.
What I'm gonna do to Tony Zale,
I'll murder him.
I'll kill him. I'll tear his head off.
I'll bust his skull. I'll... I'll cream him.
Hey, come here.
That ain't what I'm gonna do
to Tony Zale. Definitely.
Zale, Zale, Zale.
What's so bad about that?
My job, gentlemen, is to keep
his mind on one fight at a time.
- Cowboy Shank comes first, then Zale.
- Who you kidding, Irving?
Rocky's a sure thing over Shank
and you know it.
It's strictly a warm-up bout.
Save that for your readers.
The only sure thing I ever heard of
...the night Graziano knocked him out
in the third.
- How's it look?
- Still too low.
You gotta keep it up there like a cop.
Can we throw
a couple of punch lines at you?
Not right now, guys,
I got a date with a couple dames.
Don't you guys dare print that.
I'm taking Norma and Audrey to the zoo.
Don't print that either.
- Hey, what do you say, Rocky big shot?
- Hey, Peppo.
Hey. They sprung you, huh?
Yeah, all bad things
gotta come to an end.
- Hey, boy, you look great.
- The rest agreed with me.
Get dressed. We'll have a beer
downstairs.
Well, I can't right now.
My wife is picking me up.
How about that? Me with a wife and kid.
better have a beer just the same.
We got something important
to talk about.
Like what?
Like this guy I run into.
He done a stretch at Leavenworth.
We got to figure out how to handle him.
Well, what do you mean?
What handle?
worth something...
...to the title contender
everybody thinks is a big hero...
...that no one should know
he was kicked out of the Army.
Done a year at hard labor
in the federal pen.
I'll wait for you downstairs, Rocky.
What I done, I done.
It's just that I never got around to
telling my wife about it.
- It'll make no difference with her.
- Of course not.
You know, all these boys' clubs
that I go to...
...I gotta think what they'd say
and the neighbors...
...and, you know, the kids
It wouldn't do nobody no good.
Which is why we gotta take care of him.
So, what does he want?
I mean... A couple C's.
I'll give him a couple of C's.
No, not him.
He just wants to make a killing
Are you kidding? There ain't no
book gonna take no dough on me.
They know I can take Shank
with no hands.
Not on you, Rocky.
He wants to bet on Shank.
Get maybe 5-, 6-1
with the out-of-town books.
- You mean I should go in the tank?
- Yeah, an upset.
- You're getting sore at the wrong guy.
- No, I ain't.
There ain't no other guy.
You're the guy.
Suppose I was to tell you
there's 100 G's in it for you.
I'll tell you to drop dead.
What are you trying to do to me?
I'm clean. Can't you understand?
There's... A lot of people think I'm okay.
I ain't gonna let you or me
or nobody louse that up for me.
I'm not gonna let you.
I'm not gonna let nobody.
I'm with you all the way, Rocky.
That's why I don't wanna see
no sad stories in the papers about you...
...and all them prisons and
a dishonorable discharge...
...and all the rest.
- Get off my back.
You're crowding me.
I can't think straight.
There's plenty of time to think.
Relax. Sit down here. Rock.
- Hey, Rocky.
- Any extra change, Rocky?
Can I have your autograph for my sister?
Rocky, how do you feel?
Hey, hey, hey, what are you kids doing
out in the street, huh?
Why aren't you at home where
you belong or in a playground?
- You looking for trouble?
- We was only waiting for you.
Go on home or some place where
there's a playground before I flatten you.
Come on, beat it. Come on, all of you,
beat it. Out of the street.
Hi, darling.
Rocky, I want you to meet
two friends of mine.
Lou, Willie, meet Rocky Graziano.
Lou and Willie just come back
from a little trip.
They was up around Minneapolis
and St. Paul...
...where they get 6-1 on Shank
with the books up there...
...and they go for
quite a little bit of action.
They figure when I tell them something
is in the satchel...
...I know what I'm talking about.
The bets are down, Rocky.
Don't go winning no fight now...
...and wind up with a bundle of
very bad newspaper clippings.
Come here, kid.
Let's see them.
Funny, they look just like any other pair
Go tell that to the crowd hanging
from the rafters downstairs...
...waiting to see these ordinary dukes
knock some ordinary bum's brains out.
Lou Stillman says you're the world's
most popular Italian...
...with the possible exception of
Michelangelo and Frank Sinatra.
- Where's Irving?
- Downstairs.
Go get him,
we gotta call off the fight.
What's the matter?
l...
It's my back. Yeah, that's what it is.
I must have pulled a muscle or something
and it hurts me when I throw the right.
- Let me see.
- Look, I told you I hurt myself.
We gotta call off the fight.
Go get Irving.
Sure. Sure.
We're back two days,
already I'm losing my tan.
Easy come, easy go.
- Mr. Graziano?
- Yeah.
D.A.'s office. They want to talk to you
down there. Just talk, that's all.
What about?
They just need some information.
to the Zale fight...
...let them call me up. I'm in the book.
Why don't you come along,
Mr. Graziano?
- I'll be right back.
- Are you sure?
I don't know. I'm telling you,
I don't know.
Now, look, Rocky.
You have an opportunity...
...to do boxing and the community
a real service.
Just tell us who approached you
