no more! After Middletown the other night...
That was different!
I was off at Middletown!
Off? Two hours after the fight,
you still didn't know who I was!
Look, Julie, I can take this kid
like I told you! I can feel it!
If I can belt him solid just once!
- What will he be doing in the meantime?
- You don't understand!
I understand that he's 23,
and you're 35, Bill!
Thirty-five in this business,
you're an old man!
Look, Julie, they're building this kid up,
feeding him a lot of pushovers!
If I get over him tonight,
that'll mean a rematch!
That's a semi wind-up, 150 guarantee!
Maybe a top spot even!
Top spot!
Yeah, a top spot,
and I'm just one punch away!
you told me that!
You were just one punch away
from the title shot then!
Don't you see, Bill? You'll always be
just one punch away!
Oh, Bill, it ain't I wanna hurt you!
But what kind of a life is this?
Springfield, Middletown,
Unionville, Paradise City!
How many more beatings
do you have to take?
Yeah, but if I get a top spot again,
we'll get 500 bucks, maybe six!
Bill, it's been good a long time
between us!
I want to keep what we've got!
Don't you see what we could
do with 500 bucks?
I could get a piece of Tony Martinez!
Best-looking middleweight I seen
since Harry Greb! I'll train him myself!
Or we could get a beer joint or maybe that
cigar stand I told you about in Union City!
I don't care about Martinez
or cigar stands or anything else!
It makes no difference to me if you go back
to the docks or drive a garbage truck!
- Or go on relief even!
- Julie!
It's better than having you dead!
Stop it, Julie! Stop it!
Oh, Bill!
Maybe you can go on taking the beatings,
