The Set-Up Page #4

- You don't think there might be a heaven?

- How do you know there is?

I don't know about you, Mickey,

but me, I'm a gambling man!

I play percentages!

I say there's a price on everything,

even heaven!

You're punchy!

It's a short-ender, sure!

The odds are a million to one!

A guy would be a sucker not

to take them kind of odds, huh?

You kidding? Using the Bible

for a scratch sheet?

This ain't a scratch sheet, Mickey!

This is the future book!

How do you like that guy?

Making book on the hereafter!

Oh, I don't know!

Everybody makes book on something!

Lonesome?

Hey, you like dancing?

Want a cigarette?

You know, you look like you like dancing!

- worn out from throwing those punches.

The old man keeps coming back for more.

- Bet you do a mean rumba!

- Beat it!

- Don't...?

- I said, beat it!

- to the jaw. It nearly tore

his head off. He's down.

He's out like a light. The referee is counting

him out. Four, five...

Aw, it's just a formality.

He might as well count up to 100.

Nine, ten, out.

That's it, ladies and gentlemen.

He still hasn't moved.

The time, one minute and 38 seconds

in the second round.

By a knockout, Tommy Joyce stops

Gunboat Johnson in the second round.

Let me tell you exactly what happened

in that round.

What's the matter, lady?

Too rough for you?

- last left hook of his had Gunboat

groggy at the end of round one.

So he just bored in,

throwing everything he had...

I read you're going East

if you beat Bastogne!

- That's no if, Gus!

- Supposed to be pretty good!

He won the intercollegiate

a couple years ago?

I never seen a college Joe yet

take a belt on the kisser

without phoning his mother!

He's a good man, but I'll take him!

I can feel it!

Yeah, Gus! The trip's all set!

I get a main go in Philadelphia

on the 15th!

After that, New York!

Then I want a crack at the title!

Over here!

Lopez and Souza, you're next!

- Mickey, get the doc!

- He's coming!

Easy, Gunboat!

You're gonna be all right!

- All right, all right! Let's have the next one!

- Okay, Tony! Let's go!

Come on, son! Wake up!

Your name!

- What's your name?

- Name?

- Yes, what's your name?

- Name?

That's right!

Manila!

Frankie Manila!

I'm Frankie Manila, that's who I am!

Frankie Manila!

Middleweight champion of the world!

- Frankie Manila, that's who I am!

- I can't do anything here!

- You better get him to the hospital!

- Boys, give a little room, will you?

Mickey, grab a cab!

Tom, bring his clothes!

Frankie Manila is who I am!

Frankie Manila!

See the wonders of the world!

The mysteries of Paris!

A night in the limehouse!

Exotic Cairo!

You can't afford to miss it, folks!

There's no charge!
