Well, if he were less of a hero to them...
1:01:08
after his next engagement, let's say,
we would be disposed to reduce his sentence.

1:01:13
You'd make it worth his while
not to win the fight, you mean?

1:01:17
- I think I've said what I mean.
- Well, I say my kid can
beat him fair and square.

1:01:21
- Easy, Fred.
- Well, count me out! I'll
hop on a boat with him...

1:01:24
- You don't wanna do that.
- Don't tell me what I can...

1:01:26
- I'm telling you as a friend.
- There must be another way, Dan.

1:01:29
- It just goes against me.
- Well, it goes against me too.

1:01:33
Now, I don't have to make no speeches here
about how I feel workin' something crooked.

1:01:38
None of us like it.
1:01:40
We wouldn't be the men we are
if we did or be where we are.

1:01:43
I know it's lousy, but we got a situation
here that needs a little bending.

1:01:49
Now, the man's tried
to tell you how serious it is.

1:01:52
They're bending with it.
I'm bending with it.

1:01:54
Now, who are you, Fred, to
stand there and say it goes against you?

1:01:57
And you, Pop? Now,
don't you get on a pedestal here.

1:02:00
- What about the champ?
- He'll never buy it, or my kid either.

1:02:03
- He's straight out of Sunday school.
- Don't tell your kid a thing.

1:02:04
- He's straight out of Sunday school.
- Don't tell your kid a thing.

1:02:06
And, Jack, after what
he did to that Frenchman, nobody
there'll fight 'im anymore.

1:02:10
He's drifting around.
I hear he's down to peanuts.

1:02:13
- How would you put it to him?
- You work it out, Pop.

1:02:17
- Me?
- You're the promoter, Pop.

1:02:19
- Oh, Dan, I'm an old man.
- And as smart as they come.

1:02:29
- You can't put that deal
in writing, can you, mister?
- I'm sorry. I wasn't even here.
