the Russian. Do you think maybe...

...it ain't against him?

If it's not him, Stallion,

then who's it against?

Well, do you think maybe it's, like, uh,

you against you? What do you think?

You know, I think you really

are gettin' brain-damaged.

Maybe, but, uh... really.

I'm speakin' the truth here, Apollo.

- Are you?

- Yeah.

- I don't think I wanna hear this, Stallion.

- Hey, Apollo, you were a great fighter...

...but, look, we gotta face the facts too.

You don't wanna believe it,

but maybe the show is over.

That's easy for you to say.

You're still on top.

What happens when

you're not on top? Then what?

Where do we go, Stallion?

Cos we sure as hell can't be born again.

I know we can't be born again, but, let's

face it, we... we gotta change sometime.

I don't wanna change! I like who I am!

I like who you are, too, but look at that.

That ain't us up there no more, Apollo.

We can't do that the way we did it before.

We're changin'. We're, like,

turnin' into regular people.

No, Stallion!

Maybe you think you're changin'.

But you can't change what you really are.

You can forget all this money and stuff.

Cos it don't change a thing.

You and me, we don't even have a choice.

We're born with a killer instinct that you

can't just turn off and on like some radio.

We have to be right in the middle of

the action, cos we're the warriors.

Without some challenge,

some damn war to fight...

...then the warrior may

as well be dead, Stallion.

So I'm askin' you...

...as a friend...

...stand by my side this one last time.

You're a great talker, Apollo.

All right, but... when this is over...?

You know me, Stallion.

I always think of somethin' else.

That's what I'm afraid of.

All right. You got a deal there.

I feel sorry for that guy, you know?

(man#1) What made you decide to

put on an exhibition fight with Drago?

(Apollo) Let's call it

a sense of responsibility.

(man#2) Responsibility, how?

I had to teach this young fella

to box - American style!

Isn't Drago a little inexperienced

to be in the same ring?

Well, you know,

some folks got to learn the hard way!

- (man#3) No quick knockout predictions?

- No. I'm not angry with him.

I just wanna show the whole world that

Russia doesn't have all the best athletes.

Rocky, how do you think

Apollo should fight Drago?

Well, personally, I think the first thing

you'd better get Apollo is a ladder.

Drago, how does it feel to spar

with the great former champion?

The man's tongue didn't

come through customs.

My husband is very happy

to have this opportunity.

- It's his dream.

- (man#4) Dream? How do you mean?
