Crowd : You
got him! You got him!
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Only ever
met one man I wouldn't want to fight.
Man : I can't
stop that.
Frankie Dunn : Here. Get out of here, you useless
tit.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): When met
him, he was already the best
cutman
in the business.
Big Willie Little : Can you stop it?
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Started
training and managing in the '60s, but he
never lost his gift.
Frankie Dunn : No.
Man : Let me
have a look at him.
Frankie Dunn : He's fine. He's fine.
Man : Well,
he ain't if you don't stop this bleeding.
I’ll give you one more round.
Referee :
Seconds out.
Let's go.
Big Willie Little : What do we do? Tell me what to do.
Frankie Dunn : Let him hit you.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Sometimes,
there’s just nothing you can do. Cut's too
wide too close to the bone... Maybe you got
a severed vein... or you just can't get the
coagulant deep enough.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): There are
all kinds of combinations you come up
against down in the different layers of
meat, and Frankie knew how to work every
one. People love violence. They slow down at
a car wreck to check for bodies. Same people
claim to love boxing. They got no idea what
it is. Boxing
is about respect - getting it for yourself
and taking it away from the other guy.
Frankie Dunn : I’ll warm
up the car.
Maggie Fitzgerald : Mr Dunn?
Frankie Dunn : Hmm. I owe you money?
Maggie Fitzgerald : No, sir.
Frankie Dunn : I know your mama?
Maggie Fitzgerald : Don't rightly know, sir.
Frankie Dunn : Then what is it you want?
Maggie Fitzgerald : I was on the
undercard.
I won my fight, too. Maggie Fitzgerald.
Frankie Dunn : Well, Maggie Fitzgerald, what's up?
Maggie Fitzgerald : Did you happen to see it?
Frankie Dunn : Nope.
Maggie Fitzgerald : I did pretty good. Thought you
might be interested in training me.
Frankie Dunn : I don't train girls.
Maggie Fitzgerald : Maybe you should. People see me
fight say I’m pretty tough.
Frankie Dunn : Girlie, tough ain't enough.
Hogan: It’s
a mistake.
Big Willie Little : Car should be able to back up,
Frankie.
Frankie Dunn : Just push, will you?
Big Willie Little : What did Hogan want?
Frankie Dunn : Offered us a title shot.
Big Willie Little : 'Bout time.
Frankie Dunn : I turned
him down flat. Two or three
more fights, you'll be ready.
Big Willie Little : Been two or three more fights for a
long time now, Frankie.
Frankie Dunn : Look, Willie, you get one shot at the
title. You lose it, it may not come around
again. Now, two or three more fights, and
we'll be ready.
Big Willie Little : Whatever
you say, Frankie.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Frankie
liked to say that boxing is an unnatural
act, that everything in boxing is backwards.
Sometimes best way to deliver a punch is
step back. |
