Can you ever stop yours?
1:07:05
When he sets his mind
to a thing?
1:07:11
I wish I could.
1:07:14
See, I never know
who it's harder on...
1:07:17
them or us.
1:07:19
We have to wait for them
to fix everything.
1:07:24
And every day...
1:07:28
they feel like
they're failing us.
1:07:31
And really, it's just the
world that's failed, you know?
1:07:41
This is a lovely apartment. Thank you.
1:07:48
Now, what am I
gonna go and do that for?
1:07:50
You saw the papers.
1:07:52
News had to print extra
copies the day after Braddock's fight.
1:07:55
People are sentimental, you
know. Some people are sentimental.
1:07:58
Yeah, so tell me why I care.
1:08:00
You're still sore over the way
Braddock took down Griffin, fine.
1:08:03
I can understand that. It was a
heartbreak for a lot of people.
1:08:06
Yes. But look.
1:08:11
You got guys fighting
an elimination series...
1:08:14
over who gets a shot at Max Baer
for the championship in June.
1:08:17
John Henry Lewis,
he's your number two in line.
1:08:19
Now, he already defeated
Braddock once in Frisco, correct?
1:08:23
Say you put Braddock back
in the game against Lewis.
1:08:26
Lewis wins, you get your
revenge on Braddock...
1:08:29
and your boy has gotten
a topflight tune-up...
1:08:31
with full publicity before
Lasky, and what happens?
1:08:33
You make more money.
1:08:38
Now, say on the other hand, by
some minute, infinitesimal chance...
1:08:42
God forbid,
Braddock beats Lewis.
1:08:44
Now you got a sentimental
favorite go up...
1:08:46
and lose against Lasky,
and what happens?
1:08:48
You'll make more money.
1:08:50
James, either way...
1:08:52
you're a richer man with Braddock
back in the ring than if he's not.
1:08:55
Come on, don't be foolish. We
both know the name of this game.
