:18:02
You get that big chump
in the ring right now...
:18:08
- Stop this before you get hurt.
- I don't wanna hear! Let that chump go!
:18:15
All right, all right. I've said what I feel.
:18:19
- We'll finish this in the ring!
- Wherever you like.
:18:22
You shut up, and all these puppets you
brought with you! You're history, chump!
:18:26
- How did I do?
- A little loud for me.
:18:28
- But good?
- Oh, yeah. Very good.
:18:35
Welcome to the City ofLights -
Las Vegas -
:18:38
and to one ofthe most unusual
events in years.: East meets West.
:18:42
Age versus youth in
a goodwill exhibition match,
:18:45
as the former champion Apollo Creed
takes on a mountain ofmuscle
:18:49
from the Soviet Union.: lvan Drago.
:18:52
- Come on.
- Patience is a virtue.
:18:54
- I'm ready to rock 'n' roll.
- You gotta get your equipment.
:18:58
- Now you look like a mummy.
- I feel like a mummy.
:19:01
- How does it feel? OK?
- Feels great. I feel like I could eat nails.
:19:04
- I never tried them snails.
- What are you talkin' about?
:19:07
Snails. I never had 'em. I see 'em in
the garden, but I never want to eat 'em.
:19:11
I didn't say anythin' about snails.
I said nails. N-N-Nails, Stallion!
:19:16
You look pretty good, but, you know,
:19:19
just do me a favour when you go up there.
:19:22
- Try not to wear yourself out, OK?
- Yeah, wear myself out. Sure.
:19:26
Well, it's just that you ain't
been in the ring for five years.
:19:29
- I just want you to... maintain a little bit.
- I'm in the best shape of my life.
:19:34
- I'm stronger, I'm quicker...
- Hey, I'm not sayin' you're not ready,
:19:38
but personally, if it were me,
:19:40
I wouldn't mind postponin'
a couple of weeks.
:19:44
Postpone?
:19:45
Come on, Apollo. We don't know anythin'
about this guy you're fightin', really.
:19:50
Let's say I postpone. I pull out, somebody
else steps in and whips this chump.
:19:55
- Then where does that leave me?
- This is just some kind of exhibition fight.
:19:59
- This thing don't mean nothin'.
- No, man. That's where you're wrong.
