: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.
:04:10
Good.
:04:12
- So it's fixed, Cap'n Dan.
- The man's in a hurry.
:04:15
- What about terms?
- We're no babies here.
:04:18
You know myJackie
would fight your boy for a nickel.
:04:20
- 80-20, Goldie.
- What? A world's championship?
:04:24
- 80-20. That's it.
- God bless America.
:04:27
- And Cap'n Dan to be the referee.
- You're kidding me.
:04:30
Who did you have in mind?
Booker T. Washington?
:04:33
All right, all right.
What else?
:04:36
He don't have to fight
with his feet tied together?
:04:38
- We'd better set the place.
- Any place.
:04:41
Name it.
The coast, Chicago.
:04:43
No big towns, Pop. You'll
have every nigger jamming in there.
:04:46
Well, what about Tulsa, huh?
:04:48
Denver. Reno.
:04:50
- Hey, Reno!
- Why not?
:04:52
The good old Rockies.
A white man's country.
:04:55
- Yes, but who lives there?
- It's on the main line now.
:04:58
- And it's high and dry.
- The drier, the better.
