:59:03
Rocky, what do you think about
the fight taking place in the Spectrum?
:59:07
- Well, I'm very happy about that.
- Why?
:59:10
Well, it's only about
ten minutes from my house.
:59:13
Apollo, people say that you lost the first
fight, a victim of the southpaw jinx.
:59:17
- Did fighting a left-hander throw you off?
- Southpaw jinx nothin'!
:59:20
I took the fight too lightly
and this man was just plain lucky.
:59:24
But this time you all will see
the real Apollo Creed.
:59:27
The world's gonna see
the real Apollo Creed.
:59:29
Lightnin' fast and hard to catch.
No playin', no jivin' - just business.
:59:35
Rocky, do you think you have
a chance this time against Apollo?
:59:39
I don't know. He looks pretty mad.
:59:43
- Me and Mick, we're gonna try our best.
- His lungs he's gonna punch out.
:59:48
- Now, who's that? Al Capone?
- I would sweat you.
:59:52
Look here, a lot of people
may not like me, and that's OK.
:59:56
But come November, Apollo Creed will
provide the ultimate gala spectacle,
1:00:00
on Thanksgiving,
in front of this man's home crowd.
1:00:03
I'm gonna drop him like a bad habit.
1:00:05
Rocky, your pay is substantial.
What are you gonna do with the money?
1:00:10
The first thing I gotta do
is I gotta pay the rent, you know.
1:00:14
And then I made this list on the way over.
I was just thinkin' of things to do.
1:00:18
I'd like to get a couple of hats
and a motorcycle and
1:00:22
a couple of quarts of perfume
for Adrian - she likes to smell good.
1:00:25
Some Muppet toys - you know,
Ernie and Big Bird and that frog.
1:00:29
- What's his name? Kermit or somethin'?
- I don't know.
1:00:34
I thought maybe a statue for the church,
and a snow-cone machine for you, Paulie.
1:00:38
- You like snow cones, don't you?
- Yeah.
1:00:41
Rocky, got anything derogatory
to say about the champ?
1:00:45
Derogatory... Yeah. He's great.
1:00:48
How about some clowning shots, Apollo?
1:00:51
Does this look like a circus to you, man?
1:00:55
Come November, you're mine.
