:07:01
That's what Abel and LaRocca are.
:07:03
They're the gum,
you're the shoe.

:07:06
How come they walk all over you?
:07:14
Get a little older, work a little longer,
you won't be so judgmental then.

:07:19
You think l like working for idiots
who take advantage of me?

:07:22
That's easy for you to say.
This is not the best job you ever had.

:07:26
At least here l get to see boxing,
in person, for free.

:07:30
Boxing makes
all the other shit bearable.

:07:32
lf l didn't love it
as much as l do,

:07:34
l'd be the first in line to bend over so
LaRocca and Abel could kiss my ass.

:07:38
OK, don't get upset with me
:07:41
just because you know
that l know how smart you are.

:07:43
So now you think smart
is all there is to it?

:07:46
That your brain can just plot the best
course and your life just goes there?

:07:50
The world is not an oyster.
:07:53
lt is a smelly tank
full of dirty water and sharks.

:07:56
lt is not that easy to swim.
:08:05
Jackie, you need to get
real about where you are,

:08:08
which is stuck.
ln the basement.

:08:10
You can't even see
the glass ceiling from here.

:08:13
Find an elevator,
press some buttons.

:08:17
At least the only way out is up.
:08:36
Yo, Tyrell, wait up!
:08:39
Clean towels,
we need more clean towels.

:08:45
Bad break, Rex.
:08:46
Bad break?
l won that fight.

:08:48
Come on, you saw it.
Everybody saw it.

:08:50
You would've won
if you hadn't run out of gas.

:08:53
You train serious,
you could have a career.

:08:57
l would've given you a draw.
:08:59
You deserved a draw.
