getting somewhere.

- It's the telephone.

- Yeah.

Eh?

Comin' upstairs?

Hey.

Oh, wait a minute.

Come on, let him alone.

Let him alone.

Tell the boy I'll give him

5 bucks to stall the elevator.

Now, come on.

Let's get down to cases.

How did the champ

get knocked out?

Oh. When I was

a little boy...

Listen. Do you have

to go back that far?

Now, please don't stop me.

He's nervous, isn't he?

What do you suggest?

- Well, warm milk's very good.

- No, he's tried that.

Listen, come on,

let's get going.

Um, well,

when I was a little boy...

Can't you start when

you were a little older?

Oh, no, I gotta start

when I'm a little boy.

We got no time

to wait for you to grow up!

Aw, now I'm all rattled.

Now you've got him all rattled.

Aw, come on.

Come on and tell Ann

all about it.

Just once.

Well, when I was a little boy,

I was sort of puny.

Hey... you can get in on this.

All right, thanks.

The big boys

used to pick on me.

They threw things at me...

bricks and tomatoes.

You know, like kids do.

So I learned to duck.

To what?

To duck. Hmm.

See what I mean?

Oh, I had to.

I finally got

so good at it...

that I could put my hands

in my pockets and...

Bet the kids pennies

they couldn't knock my hat off.

They couldn't, either.

You know, once, I made enough

to take my mother...

and my sister Mae

to the picture show.

- Say, you met her last night.

- Look here.

I'm trying to find out

how the champ got knocked out...

and you keep talking about milk

and puny babies and movies!

Now, this isn't gonna

get you anywhere.

How'd you like to have me

do that to you?

That's all right. Go ahead.

Now I don't know where I was.

Now, listen, Sully,

you were a puny little boy...

and you took your mother

and sister to a picture show.

Now do you remember?

Oh, yes.

I even remember the picture.

You remember the one

where the man...

Iocked the girl in his cabin and

he chased her round and round?

Oh, that one? Yes.

- You do?

- Yes.

How did it end?

My mother took me home.

Take the witness.

Now, look here.

Pay attention to me.

Now, listen,

don't let your mind wander.

- Keep it in a straight line.

- They're comin' up the stairs!

You hear what he said?

They're comin' up the stairs.

Listen, you gotta think.

You gotta think!

You gotta concentr...

Listen, you got us

all nuts around here.

The first thing you know...

you'll be telling me

you didn't knock him out!

- I didn't.

- That's what I said.

What's that you said?

I said I didn't knock him out.

Everybody hear that?

Did you all hear that?

He didn't knock him out!

Hey!

That's our angle.

That's our out.

Ann, open the door

and let the press in!
