Million Dollar Baby Page #4

Not my job I'd worry about, if I was you.

Little girl seems to be coming along.

Yeah. It's almost like

someone's been helping her.

She might just be a natural.

Looks like she's got something.

She's got my speed bag,

that's what she's got.

I wonder how the hell she got that.

I wonder.

I'm gonna need that speed bag back.

- This bag?

- Yes, that bag. That's my bag.

And if you're hitting it,

people will think I'm training you.

Is that such a bad thing, boss?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Every time you touch it,

you're losing me business out here.

- I gotta agree, I am embarrassing myself.

- Yeah.

Well, I can't just lend it

to anybody, you know.

I understand.

Yeah.

Look, you seem like a nice girl.

- Can I give you some advice?

- I'd appreciate that.

You'll find a trainer in this gym

or somewhere else...

...that's gonna wanna train a girl.

It's the latest freak show out there.

The trouble is, they're gonna be

wasting your time...

...because you're too old.

I don't feel that old.

Well, neither do I, but you don't see me

fighting 21 -year-olds, do you?

Takes about four years to train a fighter.

How old are you?

- Thirty-one until my next birthday.

- Oh, well, there you go.

Thirty-one.

You wouldn't start training to be

a ballerina at 31, would you?

Already been working it

for three years.

And you can't hit a speed bag?

What kind of training is that?

Never had any, boss.

Well, I hate to say it, but it shows.

Somebody's gotta be honest with you.

I hate to be the one to tell you the truth.

Yeah.

Well, sorry for using your bag, Mr. Dunn.

- You're not gonna cry now, are you?

- No, sir.

Yeah.

Here.

- Keep the goddamn thing.

- No, you need it.

No, take the bag.

I haven't seen it in 20 years anyway.

I've had three since then.

Just enjoy it, will you?

- I'll just borrow it till I buy my own.

- Yeah.

Just don't lose it.

Yeah, I know, Hogan...

...your guy's the champ,

so we don't split 50s...

...but if I don't see 40 percent...

Look, you call me back when it's 60-40

or don't call me back at all.

- Hey, Willie.

- Hey, Frankie.

Something wrong?

I'm sorry to come by your house like this.

I know you don't like people dropping in.

Oh, you're not people, Willie.

You're welcome anytime. Come on in.

I wanted to thank you

for getting Gracie's car back.

Oh, well, you don't have to thank me.

Paying an extra thousand dollars

for your own car ain't exactly a favor.

Gracie cried when she saw it.

Really?

I also needed to talk with you

about business.

Oh, yeah, well, I just got off the phone

with Hogan. We're all set for September.

Everything but the split.

I gotta leave you, Frankie.

What?
