March out, everybody!

[SIRENS WAILING]

FLORENCE:
Sing "Onward, Christian

Soldiers"! March out, everybody!

March out!

JOHN:

Florence!

FLORENCE:
Everybody, march

out! You're all protected!

Fire can't hurt you!

Nothing can stop you!

JOHN:
Florence!

John!

Florence, where are you?

Here I am.

Florence!

[COUGHS]

Florence!

Florence.

Where are you, Florence?

Florence.

Our Father, who art in heaven

CROWD:

Hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

On Earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those

Who trespass against us

But lead us not into temptation

And deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom

The power, and the glory

Forever and ever

Amen

[HORN HONKING]

Look out. You'll get knocked out

before you get in the ring.

When I named you Gunboat, I must've

been thinking of the Swiss navy.

Six months I've been feeding you, and

you haven't won a fight for me yet.

But, boss, give me a chance...

If you don't knock

out that mug tonight,

I'm gonna drop you back

in the ashcan where I found you.

I can't waste my time

with second-raters.

Oh, never mind.

I'm ready to fight.

How are you, chief?

CHIEF:
Hi.

What about those left hooks

I've been showing you?

When you get in the ring,

all you do is throw a lot of rights.

Where do you suppose Dempsey

would be without his left hook?

But I gotta hit...

Oh, shut up.

What's all this crowd for?

Holy smoke.

WOMAN:
All right, everybody

line up quickly for the open air.

[DRUM BEATING]

WOMAN:

All right, drummers.

[BAND PLAYING " BATTLE

HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC"]

[SINGING " BATTLE HYMN

OF THE REPUBLIC"]

And she gave up

a million bucks for that.

The poor sap.
