(0.00 / 0 votes)Hey, kid.
Want to spar?
You a pro?
I used to be.
I'm a little out of shape now.
Come on. I won't hit you hard.
Maybe we can just fool around.
I'll teach you a few things.
You'd better put this on.
You look good.
Ready?
Bong.
You all right?
Good.
Hold it.
- You all right?
- Yeah, I pulled a muscle.
You okay?
I should have warmed up better.
I haven't fought
in a year and a half.
What's your name?
- Ernie Munger.
- How many bouts you had?
- None.
- You've never been in the ring?
No. I just came to the Y
to fool around a little.
- How old are you?
- Eighteen.
- You've never been in the ring?
- No.
Well...
I think you've got it, kid.
I ought to know
what I'm talking about.
There was a time
They'd try, but I wouldn't be there.
- You ought to start fighting.
- No, I just come to fool around.
Listen...
don't waste your good years.
You know, you ought to go over
to the Lido Gym...
and see my manager, Ruben Luna.
Tell him I sent you... Billy Tully.
- I saw you fight once.
- Yeah?
- Did I win?
- No.
Don't you ever go home?
I just got here.
What's keeping him?
He can see we're sitting here.
- Can't you get him to serve us?
- Just take it easy. He'll be here.
You spineless son of a b*tch.
You'd take anybody against me.
I want a cream sherry.
Earl and me got something
very wonderful together.
I love that man more than
any man's got a right to be loved.
If he left me, I couldn't make it.
I couldn't live without him.
Do you think he'd even raise his voice
and get me a drink? No.
He'll just sit there
and let them ignore us.
- Here he comes.
- Yeah, no thanks to you.
Two sherries.
I pulled a muscle.
I make up my mind
to go back into training...
I pull a muscle.
Earl, this guy's a fighter.
- Oh, yeah?
- Aw, Christ.
Why did I even mention it?
What do you know about it anyway?
- Not much.
- That's what I mean.
Sorry to bother you.
Why'd I open my mouth?
I apologize.
What do you want? I said I was sorry.
What more can I say?
- I hear you, baby.
- Jesus, you sure don't act like it.
I was sparring...
with this young kid.
He's a good prospect. He'd make a lot of
money someday if he was handled right.
A natural athlete.
What's his name?
You wouldn't know who he was
if he did tell you.
- Just asking.
- He's got to know everything.
Aw. Now he's mad.
He's not gonna talk.
He buts in, then he shuts up.
- I want to hear this. Go ahead.
- That's it.
Nothing more to hear.
That is all.
The kid is a natural...
and they come along
about one in a million.
He's so goddamned sour.
I don't see why
I can't have a little fun.
a right to live his own life.
So screw everybody.
I want to say something.
I want to make a toast here
to this gentleman.
I'll make it short...
just a few words.
Here's to your health.
God bless you and keep you
in all your battles.
What is it?
Oh, for Christ sakes.
What do you want?
- Can't I even talk to anybody?
- I'm not stopping you.
No. No, you're not stopping me.
You just sit with your face shut
until the minute I start having fun.
I'm sick of your bellyaching.
Is it my fault you can't fit in?
Why can't you mind
your own business?
And that goes for the rest of you.
Oh, to hell with you.
Want to fight, kid?
- What's your weight?
- 175.
Yeah, you've got a very good reach.
Looking for a manager?
Yeah, I'm looking for Ruben Luna.
Thanks.
I'm Luna.
You want to see me?
