: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.
