The Set-Up Page #4

Anything wrong with the view?

Break it up! Break it up!

All right, boys, break it up!

Get him!

I knew it, he ain't going! I knew it!

You fink!

Break it up!

Stoker, break it up!

Get away from there!

That's it! See you later!

One!

Make him get up!

Two!

Get up! Make him get up!

Four!

Five! Six!

Eight! Nine!

Break it up! Go to your corners!

Break it up! The bell rang!

I'll murder that guy!

I'll murder him!

They're trying to pull a fast one!

We've been crossed!

I'll kill that tagger!

He called me a fink!

- What's he talking about?

- Tell him, Tiny! Tell him!

- It looks bad!

- Yeah!

- I can see all right!

- Okay, it's your funeral!

Hurry up and tell him, Tiny!

We ain't got much time, so listen!

You got to lay down, Stoker!

- Lay down?

- It's in the bag!

There's 20 bucks extra

in it for you! Maybe 30!

- But I can stop him!

- No, you can't, Stoker!

This is Little Boy's fix!

He's paying us to go in the tank!

You know Little Boy

if you cross him!

You gotta go down!

Go down on the first good punch!

- Take the count! Let's get out of here!

- Yeah!

Ten seconds!

Stay with him, Stoke, stay with him!

Oh, it's a high fly ball, folks,

right along third-base line.

Palmer is after it.

He's after it. He's got it!

Hold it! Hold it!

Let me see that cut!

Stoker's through! He's through!

How many more beatings

do you have to take?

Better lay down.

Better than having your brains

knocked out.

- Better than having you dead.

- You gotta lay down. Lay down. Lay down!

Six! Seven!

Ten!

Fight!

Let them fight!

What a switch! Stoker gave him

one under Nelson's chin!

- Knocked him right over the ropes!

- You got him, Stoker!

Hold on, Nelson!

Stop him, Nelson!

You got him, Stoker!

You got him!

Stoker! Stoker! Kill him! Kill him!

Stoker!

- Get him, Stoker!

- Cut him to pieces!

Kill him!

Let's get out of here!

Two! Three!

Four! Five!

Six! Seven!

- Forfeit! Forfeit!

- Eight!

Nine! Ten!

By a knockout, in two minutes,

58 seconds of the fourth round.

- Forget it!

- Pay him off!

- But he said...

- I said, pay him off!

I don't like anybody to welsh!

Let me give you a hand, Stoke!

You can still punch, Stoke!

I told you, you could take him!

Thanks, Bat!

Come on, take a deep breath!

Take a deep breath!

Come on, snap out of it, Nelson!

Come on, Nelson!

- Come on, open your eyes!

- Snap out of it!

Get your morning paper!

Read all about it!

Paper! Get your morning paper!

Read all about it! Paper!

- Holy Toledo!

- I took him, Gus!

I'll say he took him!

That last right hurt me!

On the table!

You missed a great bout, Gus!

Oh, you should've seen it, Gus!

Stoker hit him with everything

but the bucket!

- He was landing as often as the Marines!

- Boy!

- I'll take care of that!

- Stoker was sharper than eight razor blades!

- He got careless!

- After the third heat

I know the kid

is a gone gosling, an amateur!

Somebody yelled, "Yoo-hoo, Nelson,

you dropped your glove!"

He sure did,

and his duke was in it!

- There!

- How's that eye?

It's a beaut! I can't wait

to see Nelson's hand!

- Where's Tiny and Red?

- They ain't been in here!

Blow!

You too!

Oh, turn the lights out

before you go, Stoker!

You made a mistake, Stoker!

A bad mistake!

I don't mean about Nelson! Three, four wins

and nobody will remember what happened!

But I paid for something tonight,

and I didn't get it!

I don't like that, Stoker!

I didn't know anything!

Tiny didn't say anything!

He know he was to go in the third!

I give Tiny the dough an hour ago!

- Fifty bucks!

- I didn't get any...

- I bet you didn't!

- Hold it!

You get dressed!

We'll talk about this later!

- Anything else?

- A couple of cans of soup!

- What kind?

- Vegetable!

Oh, and two bottles of beer!

That'll be $ 1 !13 with three cents

to the governor! That's $ 1 !16!

One-sixteen! You ought

to throw in a floorshow!

There he is!

All right, Stoker, we'll talk! Now!

That's it! Hold him!

I said, hold him!

You'll never hit anybody

with that hand again!

Boy, has he got a snootful!

Julie!

Julie!

Julie!

Bill!

- Julie!

- I'm here, Bill! Bill, I'm here!

- What's wrong here?

- Julie!

- What's the matter?

- What happened? What did they do to you?

- My!

- Your hand?

- Look at his face!

- Somebody call the cops!

- Call an ambulance! Please, hurry!

- Surely!

They busted it!

They busted it for good!

With a brick!

I wouldn't do it!

I wouldn't do it!

Oh, don't talk, Bill!

They wanted me to lay down!

I was taking that kid!

I should have gone tonight!

I should have been with you!

It's all right, Julie!

It's all right!

Julie!

I can't fight no more!

I can't fight no more!

I know, Bill!

But you won't have to!

I can't fight no more!

You won't have to fight no more, Bill!

I'll make it up to you, darling!

We'll get that cigar stand

you were telling me about

or maybe even a piece of that fighter! It's

going to be all right, Bill! You wait and see!

Julie!

I won tonight!

- I won!

- Yes, you won tonight, Bill!

We both won tonight!

We both won tonight!
