The Great White Hope
:02:40 - I ain't gonna fight no dinge!
- Listen to me, Frank.
:02:43 - You wouldn't fight one when you had the belt.
- I didn't have to, but you do.
:02:47 In your hat, I do! I know what
"retired" means, and that's what I am.
:02:49 - I'll get you back in shape in a month.
- You have tillJune.
:02:52 I need time to promote it. This one
is even bigger than your last one.
:02:54 - And this one's a breeze.
- You'll smoke him in five.
:02:57 - Four.
- Two! They got glass jaws.
:02:59 - Right, Cap'n Dan?
- I ain't gonna fight no dinge!
:03:01 Now, Frank, when you retired
with that gold belt last summer...
:03:05 nobody thought it would
work out like this.
:03:07 We thought, match the two best heavies,
and whoever beats who is the new top man.
:03:10 - Right?
- Right!
:03:12 Nobody thought the nigger would lick one,
then go after the other
all the way to Australia.
:03:16 I was down in Melbourne for the paper,
Mr. Brady, and let me tell you...
:03:19 no paper here could print
how bad it really was.
:03:22 He'd say, "Wanna hit me now, fella?"
Then he'd let him.
:03:25 Grinning all the time.
Cuffing him, jabbing.
:03:28 - Making smart-ass remarks to the crowd.
- You're the white hope.
:03:30 - I'm the what?
- The white hope.
:03:33 Every paper in the country
is calling you that.
:03:35 He lands in San Francisco
tomorrow. Come on!
:03:38 How would you like it if he claims
the belt's his because you won't fight him?
:03:42 How would you like it if the whole
damn country says, "Brady let us down.
:03:46 He let a loudmouth nigger
be champion of the world!"
:03:49 Now, Frank, you go take a good
long look at that belt...
:03:53 then come on out here with it.
:03:55 I know you trust me,
and I say you can beat him.
:03:59 And, Franklin, the good Lord
hates a quitter.
