I don't care whether you're broke
or on the bread line
or ready to lay down and die.
You're not gonna get rid of me
at bargain rates, Tom Moody.
You want a divorce?
Just lay 5, 000 bucks on the line,
and you'll find yourself a single man
so quick it'll knock you dizzy.
Monica. Monica.
Ten million men were killed
in the last war, 10 million.
Why did they have to let me
come back to marry her?
Five thousand bucks
for a divorce.
I can't even raise the dough
to pay my hotel bill, and she wants 5 grand.
What am I gonna do, Lorna?
What am I gonna do? This is the end.
We'll start by fixing your tie.
She's kicked me from pillar
to post ever since I met her.
What does she want,
my head on a plate?
I've done everything
I could for her.
Now, when the only fighter
I've got left is Lucky Nelson,
she wants $5,000
for a divorce.
I don't see that it's funny.
I'm not laughing.
This means as much to me
as it does to you.
If she's out of the way,
we can get married.
Otherwise, I'm just
a dame from Newark.
I don't like the feeling.
Oh, for Pete's sake, Lorna. I'd give
my right arm to say "Mrs. Moody" to you.
As soon as I get rid of her,
we'll get married.
Don't worry. I'll hang on.
I've got nothing to do
for the next couple of years.
Gee, if I had some money, I'd buy you
something. I don't know what.
Look, if Lucky Nelson wins tonight,
I'll take you dancing at the casino.
He won't win.
How do you know? I don't know,
so how do you know?
Are you crazy? Nelson hasn't a chance
against Sailor Anderson.
It's the 20th century, Tom.
No more miracles.
Yes, I know. I've been off
the gold standard for ages.
This used to be
a gorgeous town.
In 1928, New York was
hot with money.
My mother died in '28.
I haven't had a break in years.
"Carry Me Back to Old Virginny."
That's how I feel.
I'm down for the count, Lorna.
You know what
I like about you?
You take everything so serious.
Come on, get up off the floor.
You still look good to me.
I need you, Lorna.
I need you all the time.
I wish I could give you
everything you want.
Mr. Moody.
Don't you knock when
you walk in an office?
Sorry, I forgot. If you want, I'll...
Speak your piece and get out.
I just ran over from the gym.
What gym?
He just broke his hand.
What?
It's a fact.
Is Borneo over there, my trainer?
Well, you can put me
"Moody's the name, folks.
Step right up and wipe your shoes."
That Nelson.
Well, come on,
let's go to the funeral.
I gotta get hold of Roxy Lewis
and cancel the match.
I don't think it's necessary
to cancel, Tom.
Oh, you don't?
Who the devil are you?And who are you
to call me Tom? Are we acquainted?
Why don't you let me
take Nelson's place.
What?
I can take Nelson's place.
Did you hear that, Lorna?He wants
to fight Sailor Anderson. Him.
He's got curls too.
Going down.
Can't you fix it
with Roxy Lewis?
Can't you do it?
Now look, kid, go on home
before I forget my manners.
Then you won't like it, I won't like it
and Miss Moon here, she won't like it.
How do you do, Miss Moon?
I need a good manager, Mr. Moody.
You used to be tops around town,
everyone says so.
I can fight.
You don't know it,
but I can fight.
Main floor. Watch your step, please.
Why don't you give me
this chance, Tom?
I don't want you calling me Tom.
You're brash, you're fresh,
and your hair's too long.
In fact, you're an insult to my
whole nature. Now, go home.
Let's get together, Tom.
It isn't safe to walk
