of Rocky's for assault.

But that was a long time ago.

He didn't know...

Why not a couple more fights? With

your popularity, you'd be out in no time.

- He's retiring.

- Rocko, fightin's the ticket.

I said he's retired.

Paulie, we're here because of you!

I'm not taking the heat for all this.

I thought I was doing smart business.

- You thought you did smart business?!

- Hey! The accountant was your choice!

You shoulda known he was a thief, but in

your fairy-tale world the air don't move.

- You're like a season that don't change!

- Hey, enough.

- I'm not no tomato can you kick around!

- Paulie! No!

You call Duke. Tell him I'll fight Cane.

I don't care. Anywhere, any time.

- No! Rocky, no!

- If that's what you want, I'll get on it.

- Rocky, please!

- A couple of fights, we're outta trouble.

- Yeah, but you said...

- No, I didn't say anything.

- Did we come this far to lose it?

- You have to see a doctor.

- I don't need a doctor. I need a promoter.

- If the doctor says OK, I'll support you.

I gotta fight, OK?

I got problems. I gotta fight.

Will you do it for me?

All right. For you.

Because of continuous

violent blows to the head...

...you have a condition particular to boxers

called cavum septum pellucidum...

...which is a hole in the membrane

separating the ventricles.

The brain surface neurons in this area

have also been traumatised.

Simply stated, Mr Balboa, it means you've

suffered some damage to the brain.

- (Adrian) How long until he recovers?

- The effects are irreversible.

Oh, I...

Rocky, you... you have to retire.

I don't wanna retire. This ain't the time

to retire. Not in here, not in no office.

I just fought the best fight of my life.

I just did that, you know?

- And all I need is... a couple more.

- No. You suffered severe brain trauma.

He could be wrong.

Anybody could be wrong.

He ain't God.

Adrian, only God ain't wrong.

- Rocky, this is what's good for you.

- I only need a couple of easy ones.

Not the way it is. You can't get licensed

in any State. He can't, can he, Doctor?

- That is correct.

- Rocky, do you love me?

- Yeah, I love you. Why do you ask that?

- Because if you love somebody...

...you live with them, you live for them.

You don't gamble with a life.

Rocky, I don't care about the money.

It's you.

That's all that matters.

Please. We'll be OK. We'll be fine.

(whispers)

Uh...

- No one has to know, Doctor, right?

- It'll be strictly confidential.

Thank you.

(auctioneer) May we hear

our next bid, please?

Are you done?

(bangs gavel) Sold.

Moving along, ladies and gentlemen.

Item number 46...

Hey, kid. Bike's been sold.

Hey, bike's been sold.

Get off the bike. Come on.
