:46:02
Why?
'Cause of who you're fighting.

:46:04
How much?
:46:05
Just once, ask me who
it is you're fighting.

:46:07
How much?
$250.

:46:09
You're on at the big show
at the Garden, tomorrow night.

:46:12
You fight Corn Griffin, Jimmy.
:46:14
Number two heavyweight
contender in the world.

:46:16
Prelim before
the championship bout.

:46:18
You know, Joe, this
ain't funny. No, it's not.

:46:20
And it ain't no favor,
either.

:46:22
Griffin's opponent got cut,
and he couldn't fight.

:46:24
So they had to find somebody they
could throw in at a day's notice.

:46:27
Nobody legit would...
:46:31
Nobody would take a fight
with Griffin without training.

:46:35
So I told them use the angle
Griffin's gonna knock out a guy...

:46:40
never been knocked out.
:46:42
You're meat, Jimmy.
:46:44
Are you on the level, Joe?
:46:45
Come on. Always.
:46:47
For $250,
I would fight your wife.

:46:50
Now you're dreaming.
:46:51
And your grandmother.
At the same time.

:46:53
Teeth in or teeth out?
Take them out.

:46:54
Then you're dead.
You're down, you're gone.

:46:55
No chance.
$250?

:46:57
250 bananas. Come here.
:47:02
Get your programs here!
:47:06
Programs here! 25 cents!
:47:10
I mean, for Christ's sake,
100 and something fights...

:47:13
you never been knocked out.
:47:14
Who the hell goes
and sells his gear?

:47:17
80 fights as a pro,
50 as an amateur.

:47:20
How soon they forget!
I'm so sorry.

:47:22
Borrowed gear, borrowed robe.
Knock yourself out.

:47:27
Joe.
:47:32
I might as well get an Aooga horn
and chase him around the ring.

:47:37
That's good.
You been drinking?

:47:40
Are you trying to
hurt my feelings?

:47:42
You're just too loose. You're
spooking me. Sharpen up.

:47:45
Come on, Joe, we both
know what this is, right?

:47:49
I get to put a little more distance
between my kids and the street...

:47:53
and I get to say good-bye
at the Garden.

:47:57
Full house,
night of a big fight.
