the same damn thing.

-I am telling you--

-You have no right to talk like this.

Every time I come in here...

I see people bleeding to death

or waiting to fill out a goddamn form...

for some outrageous bill

they couldn't afford in the first place.

-It's all big business.

-Stop it.

Cancer, leukemia,

sickle cell, people dying.

They don't give a damn about you.

-That won't happen to my little sister.

-That's enough.

I want her to have the best

hematologist, specialist, nurses...

the best care, the best everything.

Do you hear me?

I know how you feel...

but hematology specialists and nurses

cost a lot of money.

Yeah, I know. I'll get your money.

I'll get you hundreds, thousands.

I'll even get you millions.

Just get her well.

Don't pay no attention to him.

You know how young folks get excited.

I've never said anything in my life

I didn't mean.

Excuse me.

You won't have your own pot to pee in

until you start your practice.

I'm gonna fight, Mama.

You are keeping your black behind

in college and becoming a doctor.

This family is gonna have somebody

they can be proud of.

You are going to be a doctor.

I love you, Kelly.

How's Kelly?

She's gotten worse.

Damn.

We're gonna go to work, man.

I'll give you a percentage of me.

Where I go, you go.

What I make, you make.

You'll be a champion.

I'm only interested

in champion money.

I'll call Gillardi in the morning.

No, not Gillardi.

If we learn, we learn from the best.

Mr. Ali, sir...

I know you're the greatest

in the whole wide world...

but with your help, I can be the next.

I've studied all your tapes.

I've got all the natural ability...

all the natural moves.

All I need is your help.

Would you please train me?

Look, my friend, people come to me

all the time for help:

business deals, buy this,

invest in this and that...

train this man, train that man.

Look, everyone knows I'm the greatest.

You know it, right?

But, look, I'm not obligated...

and I don't have time

to make you the greatest, so be cool.

I can beat anybody you've got.

-You can beat anybody I've got?

-Yeah.

Look at you, you look like a mosquito.

Beat? Man, you've gotta be crazy.

He's a heavyweight.

That just means there'll be

a louder thud when they hit the floor.

Look, you're just like myself.

I gotta give it to you.

You believe in yourself, right? Franky.

Get the man ready.

Let's see what he's got.

So you got speed.

And you're supposed to be faster

than a heavyweight, but can you hit?

He's dangerous.

Next.

You forget it, I'm not gonna have you

knocking out all my men.

He's bad, and pretty, too.

From here on out, you've got it made.

Franky will train you.
