Hands of Stone Page #3

---

I would rather you were

with some woman.

Don't always be

a district attorney.

I was seeing an old friend.

You know, it's fine.

I'm blonde.

I look great in black.

I will be a very hot widow.

Is that what you want?

(sighs)

How many years do I have left?

R3)'-

These people will kill you.

Yeah, well.

I might as well

be dead already anyway.

Oh, what a lovely thing

to say to your wife.

I don't mean... you, honey.

I mean...

(sighs)

we are what we do.

And if you just make money,

you become money.

This thing that everybody wants

that everybody craves,

it's just symbolic.

It has no real value.

I have to do something

that I really care about.

I'm not an idiot.

I know you're miserable.

I get it, but those animals

run everything.

I'd rather live in fear.

("La Luna y el Toro"

by Gabino Pampini playing)

Pick it up a little,

pick it up.

You're gonna have

to learn to breathe.

And you're gonna learn

to pace yourself.

There's technique

and there's strategy.

Technique is your every move,

your every punch

covers all your short-term

decisions.

Strategy is your plan

for the whole fight.

It's your long term.

It defines how you

apply the technique

to achieve your major goal.

It's okay if your technique

fails for a beat

as long as you're

following the strategy.

Buchanan knows you're gonna try

to knock him out

in the first round.

And then he'll wait for you

to get tired and try

and catch you,

and that's his strategy.

Comprende?

He expect (rapid humming)

but if you slow down

and go (whooshing, sputtering)

slow, slow, slow, slow,

slow, slow, slow...

Buchanan no comprende.

Get off the fence.

Excuse me?

Get off the fence.

Ah, shut up, schmuck.

SOLDIER:
Who do you

think you are, old man?

I'm Ray Arcel from Harlem, USA.

You know where that is?

And this is

the future world champion

you're talking to here.

F*** off.

He's in a jail and he thinks

he's in charge.

- We in jail.

- No, he-he's in jail.

- They put jail here.

- No, no, he...

He's... It's all in the head.

Boxing is a mental sport, aqui.

What you do with your body

is one-third of the job.

You got to learn to be

the boss, which you are.

Say it, "He's in jail."

Say it.

"He's in jail."

- He's in jail.

- He's in jail.

See? In jail.

I thought I told you

to f*** off.

You in jail.

You don't know

when to stop, do you?

You in jail.

- Okay, okay.

- You, you in jail.

Get the f*** out of here.

- Is that the way you want this

to go? -DURAN:
You in jail.

You are in jail.

I'm champion.

This is Panama.

RAY:

Nice.

Hook after the right.

Hook

Double up. Jab. Jab.

That's it,

that's it, there you go.

There you go.
