The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki Page #3

---

Thank you.

Let's get out of here.

- Take it easy now.

She'll help you.

I'll get back to work. - Okay.

We can take the photos

after you've eaten. - Sure.

All right then.

Here you are, gentlemen.

The menu.

Okay. Thank you.

How's your weight?

60 some odd kilos.

What does "60 some odd" mean?

- A little over 60.

Is everything okay?

- Yes.

You realize this is damn important

for you? - Of course.

Focus on what's important.

We'll make sure

that when all this is over, -

you can say

that August 17th, 1962, -

was the happiest clay of your life.

- Yeah.

The bread is really good.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Can I take this bouquet?

- Sure.

Hold this, please.

- Sure.

Thanks.

Come here. Quick.

Flowers?

- I thought I'd scare him.

Throw them away.

Throw them away.

I'll say they're from all of us.

- No.

I'll say you chose them.

Give him the flowers.

Something's wrong with my camera.

Can you give one more kiss?

Something's wrong.

One more kiss, please.

How have Olli's preparations gone?

Sorry, what was the question?

- How have your preparations gone?

They've gone very well.

Nothing special.

Maki has only fought ten matches

as a professional.

Moore has fought 64 matches, -

more than half of which

he's won by knockout.

Are you scared?

- No. Why should I be?

I'm happy to be able to fight

such a good boxer.

At least I won't be losing

to a bad one.

I'll fight,

and we'll see what happens.

"I'll fight, and...

- Why don't you write:

Olli Maki isn't scared

of anyone or anything.

Olli has almost 300 amateur

matches under his belt.

He won the European title in 1959.

Of his ten professional matches,

he's won eight.

He's in incredible shape, -

focused 100 percent on bringing

the championship to Finland.

This will be

a great national sports event.

We promise the audience

we won't let them down.

Olli, you have to get

your act together.- What?

You have to tell people you'll go

through a wall if you have to, -

not "I'll fight,

and we'll see what happens."

Is everything okay?

- Yes.

Bye. Bye-

Is something wrong?

- I'm not sure.

Can I be honest? - Of course.

You have to be honest with me.

You know, I think...

I think I'm in love.

- Bye.

I see.

This is a very bad moment

to discuss things like that.

I had to tell you. I realized it

at the press conference.

Can you deal with this... thing?

- Sure.

We can't let anything come

between you and the match.

It's obvious that the match is

my main goal at the moment.

Goddammit, Olli.

What is this nonsense?

This is the shittiest moment

to fall in love. - Yeah, yeah.

Get your act together.

Thanks, bye.

I just said that I'm in love.

- Everything's okay, right?
