HEY, WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE, BILLY?
MY CLUTCH STUCK.
YEAH, I SAW WHAT STUCK YOUR CLUTCH.
SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT AT LOU'S, BILLY?
NO, SIR. NO POKER FOR ME.
TAKING MY WIFE TO NEW ORLEANS THIS WEEKEND.
YOU GOING TO SEE THE FIGHT?
NO. JUST TAKE IN SOME SHOWS.
DO A LITTLE DANCING.
WHAT KIND OF DANCING YOU GONNA DO
WITH THEM 2 LEFT FEET YOU GOT THERE?
2 FLAT LEFT FEET.
YEAH, IF YOU DON'T WATCH IT,
YOU MAY FIND A FLAT LEFT FOOT
IN YOUR NAVEL.
YEAH, YOU AND WHO ELSE?
JUST ME, CHUMP.
OOH!
AND A FLAT LEFT FOOT IN YOUR NAVEL.
LOOK OUT NOW.
YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR CLUTCH STUCK AGAIN UP YOUR--
WATCH YOUR LIPS,
BECAUSE THEY MAY GET YOU INTO SOMETHING
THAT YOUR BEHIND CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF.
AND YOU MAY HAVE 2 LEFT FEET
DEAD IN YOUR STERNUM.
I THINK WE CAN GET IT ON RIGHT NOW.
WHAT? WHAT?!
RIGHT NOW.
BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF YOU, MAN.
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND HERE
IT'S BEEN WORDS BACK AND FORTH.
I'M SICK OF IT. I DON'T CARE
HOW MUCH YOU SWELL UP.
HEY, KEEP AN EYE ON HIM NOW.
NOW...
NO, WAIT. DON'T-- DON'T THROW NO PUNCHES.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU FOR ONE SECOND.
NOW LOOK, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
NO, BEFORE WE GET IT ON, I JUST WANT
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, MAN.
THIS IS ALL-- I LOVE YOU.
♪ OOH ♪
♪ WHOO-HOO-HOO ♪
COME HERE. COME HERE.
GO ON. GO ON, SAY HELLO.
COME HERE.
WWWHHHOOOAAA!
SEE?
THERE YOU GO.
MM-HMM. YOU WRITE...
1...
2...
DO 3. 3--
UHH....HEH.
SHE GOT ME.
HEH HEH!
THANK YOU. SHE'S-- SHE'S ALL FINISHED NOW.
MR. WILLIAMS, MR. FOSTER?
I'M SORRY.
YOU GOTTA DO IT.
I SAID NO.
WE'RE AT THE END OF THE LINE.
THERE'S GOT TO BE ANOTHER WAY.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS.
YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT!
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CRAZY.
I HAVEN'T DONE THAT SINCE I WAS IN THE ARMY.
YOU DID IT AT SISTER JOAN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY LAST YEAR.
NOW, THAT DON'T COUNT.
IT WAS. I SAW IT.
LOOK, I GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT.
I'M TAKING BETH TO NEW ORLEANS
FOR THE WEEKEND TO CELEBRATE OUR ANNIVERSARY.
NOW, YOU AND DEE DEE COME ALONG
AND HELP US CELEBRATE OUR ANNIVERSARY,
AND WHILE WE'RE THERE--
NO! LISTEN TO ME!
SOME OF THESE LODGE MEMBERS HAVE BEEN THERE
FOR 60 YEARS OR MORE,
AND THEY'RE OUR RESPONSIBILITY!
YOU BETTER CHANGE YOUR PANTS
BEFORE PEOPLE THINK YOU CAN'T HOLD YOUR WATER.
YOU'VE GOTTA DO IT!
WE'RE RUNNING AN HOUR LATE ALREADY.
MAYBE THEY'RE TAKING SO LONG IS A GOOD SIGN.
I THINK I BETTER GO IN
AND TELL THEM TO START THE MEETING.
YEAH, GO AHEAD.
CLYDE, HONEY, THE WORLD IS NOT RUN ON C.B. TIME.
YOU TWO GONNA BE LATE FOR YOUR OWN FUNERAL.
I HOPE SO. BILLY AIN'T HERE?
NO.
WHAT THEY SAY?
BILLY FOSTER, WILL YOU HURRY UP?
EVERYBODY'S IN THERE WAITING ON YOU.
BILLY, WHERE IS OUR CAR?
I SOLD THE CAR.
WHAT YOU SELL OUR CAR FOR?
I SOLD THE CAR.
IS IT OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW
OR IS IT NOT OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW?
SO WHAT? SO, FOR 14 YEARS,
YOU'VE BEEN WORKING YOUR FINGERS TO THE BONE
FROM SUNRISE TO SUNDOWN,
AND I'VE NEVER HAD A DOLLAR
TO SPEND NOTHING ON YOU,
SO I SOLD THE CAR.
I'M TAKING MY WIFE TO NEW ORLEANS
FOR THE WEEKEND.
A MAN CAN ALWAYS GET A CHEAP CAR,
BUT HE CAN'T GET A WIFE.
AIN'T THAT SWEET?
YEAH.
THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING.
I KNOW IT.
I AM.
Congregation: YES, YOU ARE.
AND I'M GONNA BE.
YES, YOU WILL.
TRIUMPH HAVE I?
YES!
STEADY OF HEART?
YES!
NO VALLEY OF SORROW IS DEEP ENOUGH.
NO!
NO MOUNTAIN OF PLEASURE IS HIGH ENOUGH.
NO!
TO CAUSE MY FEET TO STUMBLE ONE STEP
IN OUR EVERLASTING JOURNEY
TO THE RIGHTEOUS SIDE OF LIFE.
PRAISE TO HIM!
AND MARCHING OUT AT THE HEAD OF OUR GREAT MULTITUDE
TO SHOW US THE WAY IS OUR FOUNDER.
THE GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRAND WARRIOR
OF THE KINGDOM OF SHAKA.
PRAISE TO THE KINGDOM!
HE STAMPED HIS FEET ON THE GROUND THAT IS AFRICA
AND THE EARTH TREMBLED.
TO THE EVIL, HE SHOWS NO MERCY.
NO!
TO THE DECEITFUL, HIS BLOWS ARE SWIFT.
YES!
BUT TO THE PURE IN HEART,
HE IS LOVE.
LOVE, BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
HE IS OUR LEADER.
THE GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRAND WARRIOR
OF THE KINGDOM OF SHAKA!
ALL PRAISES DUE TO OUR FOUNDER!
ALL PRAISES DUE
TO THE KINGDOM OF SHAKA!
BROTHERS AND SISTERS...
ANOTHER DAY HAS DAWNED,
AND THOUGH WE ARE HERE
IN OUR GOOD HEALTH AND STRENGTH,
TODAY IS NOT A GOOD DAY FOR US.
THE CITY HAS REFUSED
TO GRANT US THE EXTENSION THAT WE WANTED.
AND SO I GUESS THE BEST WAY TO START THIS MEETING
IS WITH A FINANCIAL REPORT ON OUR SITUATION
FROM OUR TREASURER, BROTHER BILLY FOSTER.
WELL, WE ALL KNOW THE SITUATION.
WE HAVE KNOWN FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS
THAT THIS CITY WAS GONNA TURN DOWN THIS SECTION
COMMENCING NEXT YEAR.
IN 6 WEEKS, WE'VE GOT TO BE OUT OF THIS BUILDING.
2 YEARS AGO, Y'ALL MADE PLEDGES
TO THE NEW BUILDING FUND,
AND YOU'VE FULFILLED THOSE PLEDGES,
BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS,
WE'VE BEEN RAKING AND SCRAPING,
BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
THE INITIAL COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION
IS $55,000.
THAT MEANS WE GOT TO HAVE AT LEAST THAT
BEFORE WE CAN START.
AND SO FAR IN THE KITTY,
WE'VE GOT $18,000.
NOW WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
FIGHT IT.
TIGHTEN UP AND DIG DEEPER.
NOW, I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE ROUGH.
IT IS NOW OR NEVER.
NOW THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF SHAKA
HAVE ALWAYS THRIVED ON ADVERSITY.
THAT'S RIGHT!
WE LIVE TO OVERCOME SUFFERING.
YES!
WE LIVE TO CREATE LIGHT WHERE THERE WAS DARKNESS.
YES!
WE HAVE GOT TO PUT OUR HEART IN IT.
YES!
WE'VE GOT TO PUT OUR SOUL IN IT.
YES!
WE'VE GOTTA PUT OUR SPIRITS IN IT.
YES!
AND WE'VE GOT TO PUT SOME MORE MONEY IN IT!
THAT MONEY SHOULD BE IN A BANK!
IT WAS.
WE CAN GO TO JAIL IF THIS DON'T WORK.
IT'S GONNA WORK.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
YEAH, BUT YOU'VE STILL GOT THE TOUCH
BECAUSE I REMEMBER AT SISTER JOAN'S PARTY
WITH VICTOR BROWN,
YOU HAD HIM GOING AROUND THERE
CROWING LIKE A ROOSTER IN A HENHOUSE.
ROOOOO!
KOO-KOO-ROO!
THAT'S RIGHT. HEH HEH HEH!
$2,000.
MORTGAGED MY FURNITURE,
SOLD MY CAR, CLOSED OUT MY BANK ACCOUNT.
$2,000 FROM ME.
$18,000 FROM THE LODGE.
$20,000.
20,000.
NO. UN-UH.
NO, MAN. I'M A MILKMAN.
YOU'RE A FACTORY WORKER! WE DON'T LOOK LIKE NOBODY
WHO'D COME UP WITH NO $20,000.
WE GONNA LOOK LIKE WE GOT A MILLION.
HOW?
YOU JUST LEAVE THAT UP TO ME.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
OUR WOMEN MUST NEVER KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS.
NEVER. THEY'RE JUST GOING TO NEW ORLEANS
TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.

HO HO HO! OHH! STOP!
WHOO!
YOU FRESH THING!
YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT.
YES, I DO. WHOO!
AND TONIGHT, I'M GONNA LAY A BLOCKBUSTER ON YOU
TONIGHT.
YEAH?
WELL, I'M GONNA HAVE A BLOCK
FOR YOU TO BUST, TOO, BABY,
SO YOU BETTER BRING A WHOLE LOT OF HAMMER.
HAVE HAMMER, WILL TRAVEL
AND GO DEEP INTO YOUR CREVICE.
Beth!
WELL, IT'S THE TRUTH.
WELL, I KNOW, BUT I CERTAINLY WISH
YOU TWO WOULD STOP PUTTING YOUR BUSINESS
IN THE STREET LIKE THAT, AND THAT'S ALL.
ARE YOU GONNA SIT THERE AND ACT ALL PROPER
LIKE CLYDE AIN'T BEEN HITTING
YOUR SWITCH REGULARLY?
UH-UH! I AIN'T IN IT.
I COULD SAY SOMETHING,
BUT I WON'T. HEH HEH!
OF COURSE CLYDE AND ME HAVE RELATIONS.
WE CERTAINLY DON'T LET
THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW ABOUT IT. DO WE, HONEY?
UH-UH. ME AND DEE DEE, WE DON'T MAKE NO NOISE.
WE WHISPER A LOT. HEH HEH HEH!
OH, BABY, OH, BABY!
SHH!
WE ALL GROWN.
AND WE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
BESIDES, IT'S OUR ANNIVERSARY.
YES, WELL, I KNOW THAT.
BUT SUPPOSE SOMEBODY WHO DIDN'T KNOW YOU
HEARD YOU TALKING LIKE THAT?
I MEAN, WHAT WOULD THEY SAY?
THEY WOULD SAY I WAS HAVING
A HORNY CONVERSATION WITH A MAN
IN A FANCY RESTAURANT,
AND HE WAS PICKING UP ON MY VIBE.
PICKING UP ON THEM.
DEE DEE, I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE A PRUDE.
WELL, I AM NOT A PRU--
I AM NOT A PRUDE.
BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I WON'T DO,
AND THAT'S ALL.
WELL, LA-DEE-DA.
HEH HEH HEH!
BABY, THAT WAS A GOOD LUNCH.
NOW I'M READY FOR A NAP,
BUT FIRST I'M GONNA GO TAKE A WEE-WEE.
DEE DEE, COME ON AND GO
TO THE POWDER ROOM WITH ME.
COME ON, GIRL.
YOU TELL ME WHY? WHY?
THE FELLA WITH THE PINK FLOWER,
THE BIGGEST OF THE BIG-TIME GAMBLERS IN LOUISIANA.
KANSAS CITY MACK. OWNS THIS RESTAURANT RIGHT HERE.
YOUR BOOKS DON'T LOOK GOOD AND I DON'T LIKE IT.
22% OFF CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING--
BAD MANAGEMENT.
YOU, YOU GOT TO START INCREASING YOUR VOLUME NOW
IN ALL YOUR OPERATIONS,
ESPECIALLY IN THE GAMBLING AND JOY HOUSES
AND THE LIQUOR BUSINESS.
BOSS, INFLATION--
INFLATION AIN'T BOTHERING BIGGIE SMALLS
AND HIS BOYS IN KENTUCKY AND ALABAMA.
THEY'RE ROLLING RIGHT ALONG, HEADING IN THIS DIRECTION.
AND IT'S YOUR TERRITORY THEY'RE GONNA GRAB FIRST.
WE'RE PUSHING AS HARD AS WE CAN.
WE'RE ON TOP OF IT 7 DAYS A WEEK.
THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. YOU'VE GOT TO COME UP
WITH SOME NEW IDEAS.
THAT'S WHY BIGGIE SMALLS AND HIS BOYS
KEEP BEATING US TO THE PUNCH.
HE GOT THEM YOUNG, COLLEGE-EDUCATED FAGGOTS
DOING HIS THINKING FOR HIM.
MAYBE Y'ALL TOO OLD.
MAYBE Y'ALL NEED TO TAKE A WALK.
MAYBE I OUGHT TO GET SOME OF THEM
YOUNG COLLEGE-EDUCATED FAGGOTS
TO DO MY THINKING FOR ME, HUH? HUH?
NOW, HOW THINGS LOOKING ON THIS FIGHT?
NOT SO GOOD. WE'RE GETTING PLENTY OF ACTION
ON 40th STREET BLACK, BUT NOTHING ON FARNSWORTH.
WELL, THAT FIGURES. EVEN FARNSWORTH'S MAMA
AIN'T DUMB ENOUGH TO BET ON HIM.
WELL, LOOK, USE YOUR HEADS.
IF THERE AIN'T NO FARNSWORTH MONEY AROUND,
CLOSE YOUR BOOKS AND SIT THIS ONE OUT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE TRAINING CAMP
OF THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
WHO WILL DEFEND HIS CHAMPIONSHIP
THE NIGHT AFTER TOMORROW
RIGHT HERE IN THE FABULOUS CITY OF NEW ORLEANS
AT THE SPORTS CENTER.
HE IS NOW COMING TO THE RING
TO SPAR IN 3 ROUNDS OF BOXING
FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT.
THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
40th STREET BLACK!
LET'S HEAR IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
ANYBODY RUNNING INTO HIM
BETTER BE DRIVING A MACK TRUCK.
OK, LET'S GO SEE THE CHALLENGER.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
BOOTNEY FARNSWORTH.
BOOTNEY FARNSWORTH?
COME ON, BOOTNEY, KEEP YOUR RIGHT UP,
PROTECT YOURSELF, BABY!
PROTECT YOURSELF! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, JAB!
JAB, JAB, JAB, JAB!
THERE YOU GO, THERE YOU GO!
THROW THEM PUNCHES IN, THROW THEM PUNCHES IN.
MOVE, MOVE, BOOTNEY, MOVE!
OOH!
HEY, HONEY, BOOTNEY FARNSWORTH IS KNOCKING OUT
HIS FELLAS, TOO.
NO, DEAR, THAT'S BOOTNEY FARNSWORTH THERE.
LOOK, LOOK HERE.
MOVE. USE YOUR JAB. UNDERSTAND?
DON'T TRY TO SLUG IT OUT.
IF YOU GET TAGGED, CLENCH.
KEEP YOUR GLOVES UP HIGH AND PROTECT YOURSELF.
OK, LET'S GO.
GO GET HIM. TAKE HIM.
PUNCH, PUNCH!
COVER UP! MOVE IT, MOVE!
40th STREET BLACK IS GONNA KILL THAT POOR BABY.
HERE'S YOUR PRESS CARD.
WHERE'D YOU GET THESE?
I PRINTED THEM UP MYSELF.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS GOT ONE MINUTE AND THAT'S IT.
MY FIGHTER'S GOTTA EAT AND GET SOME SLEEP.
ON THE BASIS OF YOUR LAST FIGHT,
A SPLIT DECISION OVER MARTIN,
DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU DESERVE A SHOT AT THE TITLE?
MARTIN WAS A PUSHOVER.
BOOTNEY WAS CARRYING HIM.
I HEAR YOUR SPARRING PARTNER DECKED YOU TODAY.
HE SLIPPED.
Second reporter: BOOTNEY, WORD'S GOING AROUND
THAT YOU'RE NOT REALLY IN SHAPE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THAT?
LIES, PROPAGANDA!
THEN WHY ARE YOU A 5-TO-1 UNDERDOG?
BECAUSE WE DO OUR FIGHTING IN THE RING,
NOT IN THE NEWSPAPER LIKE THAT BIG-MOUTH,
EMPTY-HEADED SISSY.
CAN WE QUOTE YOU, BOOTNEY?
YEAH, YOU CAN QUOTE HIM! YOU TELL THE WORLD
WHEN WE GET THROUGH WITH 40th STREET BLACK
HE'S GONNA LOOK LIKE 30th STREET YELLOW.
BOOTNEY, ANY TRUTH TO THE RUMOR
THAT YOU'RE DEVELOPING A SECRET PUNCH?
DON'T ANSWER THAT, BOOTNEY!
EVERYTHING IN ITS PROPER PLACE.
IF YOU LOSE, BOOTNEY, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?
WE CAN'T ANSWER THAT,
BECAUSE LOSING'S THE LAST THING WE THINK ABOUT.
Reporter: HOW LONG'S
THE FIGHT GONNA LAST, BOOTNEY?
IT WON'T GO THE DISTANCE.
BOOTNEY, IF YOU WIN, WILL YOU BE AN ACTIVE CHAMPION?
WE'LL FIGHT ANYBODY, ANYWHERE.
ONE LITTLE PERSONAL QUESTION, BOOTNEY.
HOW'S YOUR LOVE LIFE?
HOW'S HIS LOVE LIFE? HOW'S HIS LOVE LIFE?!
HE'S GOT HIS HANDS FULL!
OK, IT'S TIME TO GIVE MY FIGHTER SOME REST.
SO UP AND OUT, LET'S GO.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO WRITE,
YOU KNOW WHAT PICTURES TO PRINT.
I APPRECIATE YOU COMING DOWN.
WE'LL SEE YOU WHEN WE WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, OK?
OUT YOU GO, FELLAS. THANKS A LOT FOR COMING BY.
APPRECIATE IT A LOT.
MR. ELLISON.
YOU REALLY THINK I GOT A CHANCE?
HE'S GONNA BEAT YOUR BRAINS IN, BOOTNEY.
BOOTNEY...
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING, BUT WE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO--
YES, YOU DO HAVE A CHANCE, SON.
BUT NOT A GOOD ONE, HUH?
NO, NOT A GOOD CHANCE.
BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.
COME ON, KID. GET SOME REST.
WE'VE GOT ANOTHER DAY'S WORK AHEAD OF US.
Bootney Farnsworth, Bootney Farnsworth,
can you hear me?
Listen to the rhythm of the chimes.
Listen to the rhythm of my voice.
You are going
into the deepest part of your sleep.
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper.
Deeper, deeper.
Now your subconscious belongs to me.
Open your eyes.
IN THE INNERMOST REACHES OF YOUR HEART,
YOU ARE A TIGER.
TIGER!
YOU ARE CAPABLE OF GREAT FEATS
OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE.
STRENGTH AND COURAGE!
YOU CAN BEAT ANY FIGHTER IN THE WORLD.
YOU WILL WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
OHH--
I WILL?
YES.
OUT OF SIGHT!
TOMORROW AT YOUR SPARRING SESSION,
YOU WILL DEMONSTRATE ALL THE POWER
YOU ARE CAPABLE OF,
AND ON THE NIGHT OF THE FIGHT,
YOU WILL WIN OVER 40th STREET BLACK.
WIN!
INVINCIBLE!
WIN!
MEAN!
WIN!
DOWNRIGHT NASTY WITH STRENGTH!
NOW...
GO TO SLEEP.
Go to sleep.
Sleep, sleep.
Win, win.
What are we gonna do?
The fire escape.
What are we gonna do?
You can't go down there.
What you gonna do?
We're gonna put knots in these sheets,
throw 'em out the window,
and climb down.
You're crazy!
We can't go down there on these!
Are you crazy? Do you know
what they'll do to us
if they catch us?
KEEP MOVING, FOOL!
WOULD YOU GET YOUR FOOT OUT THE WAY?
AAH!
OH!
AHH. OHH.
OH, YEAH.
HEH.
OH, BOY.
COME HERE.
MMM. OHH.
OOH.
AHA!
WHO ARE YOU?
JUST AS I THOUGHT! WHO AM I?
DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY RULES YOU'VE BROKEN
REGARDING A SINGLE OCCUPANCY ROOM
IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA?
DO YOU REALIZE
HOW MANY LAWS YOU'VE BROKEN, SIR,
SINCE YOU'VE ENTERED THIS ROOM?
WHO ARE YOU?
WHO AM I?
WHO AM I? HA!
I WORK FOR THIS HOTEL.
I AM THE HOUSE DETECTIVE.
AND THIS IS MY ASSISTANT FRANK,
AND FRANK WILL READ YOU-- READ HIM HIS RIGHTS.
HIS RIGHTS?
YES, THE RIGHTS!
RIGHTS. UH--AHEM.
ANYTHING YOU SAY MAY BE HELD AGAINST YOU.
Billy: AND IT DOESN'T MATTER
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT ENOUGH AGAINST YOU.
NOW, YOU, YOUNG LADY,
I'LL GET TO YOU IN A SECOND.
BUT YOU FIRST. NOW, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
RUFUS ISAACS.
ARE YOU MARRIED, RUFUS?
NO.
AHA. OK.
WHERE DO YOU WORK?
RIGHT HERE IN THE HOTEL.
RIGHT HERE IN THE HOTEL, AND, RUFUS,
IT'S GONNA REALLY BE HEAVY ON YOU.
NOW, WHAT DO YOU DO HERE IN THE HOTEL?
I'M THE HOUSE DETECTIVE.
HOUSE DETECTIVE. I SEE.
WELL, THAT ABOUT CLOSES THIS WHOLE THING UP,
UH, DOESN'T IT? YES.
WELL, Y-YOU GOT US.
UH, YOU GOT US.
WELL, I GUESS YOU WANT TO PUT THE HANDCUFFS ON US,
TAKE US ON DOWN TO THE MANAGER'S OFFICE AND...
EXPLAIN TO HIM
HOW YOU, UH, CAUGHT US BEHIND THE SOFA
WHILE YOU WERE IN HERE MAKING LOVE TO A MARRIED WOMAN.
WAIT A MINUTE NOW.
WHAT?
NOW, JUST WAIT A MINUTE.
OH, NO. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN.
WE HAVE TO GO DOWN AND TALK TO THE MANAGER.
NO, NO, NO. WHAT?
YOU KNOW, IT'S--IT'S COOL.
Clyde: HEH HEH HEH.
IT'S COOL. IT'S COOL.
IT'S COOL. RUFUS SAID COOL.
RUFUS SAID IT'S COOL.
I KNEW HE WAS HIP.
WITH THE NAME RUFUS.
RUFUS. HA HA HA.
YOU WANNA TAKE US DOWN?
FORGET ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE WILL NOW HAVE 3 ROUNDS
OF SPARRING BETWEEN THE CHALLENGER,
BOOTNEY FARNSWORTH,
AND--AND, UH--
OH, HELL. WHAT'S THE USE?
NOTHING BUT HORSE THE REST OF THE WAY, FELLAS.
THAT'S ALL.
WE BELIEVE IN CHANGE, AND WE'RE PREPARED FOR IT
WITH NEW TECHNIQUES AND NEW APPROACHES,
AND AS FOR OUR PART, WE FEEL THAT YOU'RE
THE BEST PIECES OF MANPOWER
AVAILABLE IN THIS WHOLE REGION.
THANK YOU, MR. SMALLS.
CALL ME BIGGIE.
WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE INTO THIS AREA PEACEFULLY.
NO VIOLENCE.
BUT IF MACK AND HIS BOYS PROVE, UH, STUBBORN,
THEN WHAT HAS TO BE WILL BE.
THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN.
AND IF YOU'RE AS GOOD AS YOUR REPUTATIONS,
THEN WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A SMOOTH TRANSITION.
COME IN.
EXCUSE ME.
GET THE BROTHERS A DRINK.
MONGO SLADE FROM NEW YORK, HUH?
THAT'S RIGHT, BIGGIE SMALLS.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I HEAR YOU'RE TAKING BETS ON THE FIGHT.
BIG BETS.
I LIKE FARNSWORTH.
10 GRAND.
MR. SLADE, SIT DOWN. LET'S HAVE A TALK.
SIR, THERE'S A MAN OUTSIDE WANTS TO SEE YOU
ABOUT PLACING A BET.
TELL HIM THIS IS A RESTAURANT, NOT A BOOKIE JOINT.
I DID. HE SAID BIG MONEY.
OK, LET'S SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
YOU WANNA SEE ME?
YEAH, I WANNA SEE YOU.
ABOUT WHAT?
MY NAME IS MONGO SLADE,
AND I'M FROM OUT OF NEW YORK CITY,
AND ME AND MY BOYS WANT TO MAKE A BET
WITH YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT TO ONE OF THE LOCAL BOOKIES?
UH, MAINLY BECAUSE
WHEN WE GO TO THE LOCAL BOOKIES
AIN'T NONE OF THEM GONNA TAKE YOUR BET
UNLESS YOU SAY IT'S OK,
SO WE'RE JUST COMING TO SEE YOU.
HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET?
WELL, UM, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE HERE?
THESE ARE MY PARTNERS.
YEAH.
BUBBLETOP WOODSON, FISH AN' CHIPS FREDDIE,
JODY TIPPS. HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET?
I WANNA BET $10,000.
5-TO-1 ODDS, FARNSWORTH TO WIN.
WE WOULD HAVE BET $20,000
BUT WE DON'T WANNA OVERLOAD YOUR CIRCUIT.
COUNT IT.
NO NEED.
MONGO SLADE. MONGO SLADE.
NEW YORK CITY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I THINK WE CAN DO BUSINESS.
UM, YOU SEE, KANSAS CITY,
WHEN WE, UH, WHEN WE LOSE,
WE PAY OFF. DIG?
NOW, WHEN-- WHEN WE WIN,
WE DON'T WANNA HAVE TO GO CHASIN' Y'ALL
ALL OVER LOUISIANA.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU WIN, WE'LL BE HERE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
NOW, EVERYTHING'LL BE COOL.
FOR NOW.

NOW, DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!
MY MAIN MAN! OH!

WHAT'S GOING ON?
HOW DO YOU FEEL, BOOTNEY?
I DIDN'T FEEL A THING.
HOW COULD YOU

UH-HUH.
CHAMP? YOU MEAN...
I WON?
OF COURSE!
OH, KID, YOU WERE TERRIFIC.
BETTER THAN THE LAST SPARRING SESSION.
THE LAST SPARRING SESSION? I WON--

OH, HELLO, MR. MACK.
THE BOY WAS FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU.
HE CAME INTO HIS OWN TONIGHT.
SCOTCH AND SODA.
IT ALL STARTED THE LAST DAY WE SPARRED.
HE KNOCKED OUT ALL OF HIS SPARRING PARTNERS,
SMASHED UP THE RING,
AND HE HIT THE HEAVY BAG SO HARD
THAT THE CEILING CAVED IN! HA HA HA HA HA!
NO KIDDING? I'M TELLING YOU!
MAN, HE MUST HAVE REALLY
HAD HIS SELF PSYCHED UP FOR IT.
PSYCHED UP IS WHAT IT WAS, BECAUSE THERE WERE TIMES
WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM MYSELF! HA HA HA!
MY, MY, CAN YOU BEAT THAT?
YEAH, IT WAS LIKE HE WAS IN A TRANCE. YOU KNOW?

BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
WELCOME TO THE NEW HOME
OF THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF SHAKA.
THE STORM HAS PASSED!
AND ONCE AGAIN OUR MIGHTY SHIP
IS BACK ON COURSE!
I WANT TO THANK ESPECIALLY
OUR TREASURER AND VICE MARSHAL
FOR THOSE SUCCESSFUL INVESTMENTS THEY MADE
ON THE STOCK MARKET.
THANKS TO THEIR EFFORTS, WE ARE NOW IN A BRAND-NEW HOME.
WE HAVE A BRAND-NEW DAY-CARE CENTER
RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS,
AND $10,000 TOWARD
THE NEW NURSERY SCHOOL BUILDING FUND.
BUT...NOW, I PROMISED
THAT THERE WASN'T GONNA BE ANY SPEECHES TODAY,
AND I'M GONNA KEEP MY PROMISE.
UH, BUT BEFORE I DO SIT DOWN,
THERE IS ONE MORE THING I JUST GOT TO SAY.
NOW, NO LONGER ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO CRAWL
ON THE BACK ROADS OF NO CAN DO!
FROM NOW ON WE ARE RIDING ON THE FREEWAY
OF YES, WE CAN, TOO!
NOW...
SO, LET'S EAT, DRINK, AND ENJOY OURSELVES
ON THIS MOST MOMENTOUS OCCASION.
I THANK YOU.
PARDON ME, SISTERS.
YES? MAY WE HELP YOU?
YOU CERTAINLY CAN.
I'M MacARTHUR CLUTCH. ME AND MY ASSOCIATES
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOUR HUSBANDS
REGARDING INVESTMENTS.
INVESTMENTS?
YES. YOU SEE, WE KNOW THAT YOUR HUSBANDS
HAVE BEEN DOING SOME SMALL-TIME INVESTING
TO HELP OUT THE LODGE.
LIKE SOME BETS THEY MADE IN THE STOCK MARKET.
WE'RE HERE TO SHOW THEM
HOW THEY CAN INCREASE THEIR DIVIDENDS.
IN OTHER WORDS, HOW THEY CAN GET PAID BACK...
MORE.
OH. HEH.
YES. YOU SEE, WE REPRESENT A NEW ORLEANS BREAKAGE FIRM.
HE MEANS BROKERAGE FIRM.
WE WANT TO SHOW YOUR HUSBANDS SOME BREAKS.
YEAH, WE'D LIKE TO SHOW THEM
HOW THEY CAN MAKE MORE BREAKS
FOR THEMSELVES AND THE LODGE.
WELL, LOOK, WE REALLY DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,
BUT WHY DON'T I TAKE YOU OVER TO MY HUSBAND,
AND THEN YOU AND HIM CAN TALK IT OUT. ALL RIGHT?
OH, THAT WOULD BE JUST DANDY.
OH, GOOD.
I TELL YOU...
I KNEW THIS BIRD FROM ANOTHER LIFE.
BILLY. HMM?
THERE'S SOME MEN HERE WHO WANNA TALK TO YOU
ABOUT INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS.
FELLAS, THESE MEN ARE FROM NEW ORLEANS.
THEY REPRESENT A BROKERAGE FIRM.
THE STRONG-ARM BROKERAGE FIRM
OF NEW ORLEANS.
OUR MOTTO IS, "WE GET EVEN,
AND YOU CAN COUNT ON IT."
THEY'RE HERE TO HELP THE LODGE
MAKE SOME MONEY.
MONEY? SOMEBODY SAY MONEY?
YES, GRAND SUPREME, UM--
THESE, UM, THIS IS MR. MacARTHUR CLUTCH
AND HIS ASSOCIATES-- A BROKERAGE.
WELL, NOW.
HOW DO YOU DO, GENTLEMEN? HOW DO YOU DO?
JUST FINE, SIR.
ACTUALLY, THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH TO DISCUSS
AT THIS TIME, GRAND SUPREME,
JUST A FEW MINOR DETAILS
FOR PRELIMINARY PURPOSES.
BUT I WAS WONDERING
IF I MIGHT BORROW YOUR TREASURER
TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER IN PRIVATE.
YOU KNOW, ALL THE BORING DETAILS.
WELL, I THINK THAT WOULD BE JUST FINE.
NOW, UH, I'D LIKE TO GO WITH YOU MYSELF,
BUT MY PLACE IS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW.
BUT WHY DON'T YOU TAKE BROTHER WILLIAMS ALONG
AS MY PROXY?
OOH, I WAS JUST GONNA ASK YOU IF THAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE.
OF COURSE IT'S POSSIBLE.
NOW, BETH AND DEE DEE, SHOW THESE KIND GENTLEMEN
RIGHT UP TO MY OFFICE.
WE'LL JUST BE A MINUTE.
US BREAKERS DON'T TAKE TOO LONG TO DO NOTHING.
WON'T YOU FOLLOW ME, PLEASE?
WELL, WE'LL SEE Y'ALL
WHEN YOU GET DOWNSTAIRS, HEAR?
BYE, BABY.
I'M GONNA KILL 'EM!
OH, WAIT! WAIT A MINUTE!
WAIT! WAIT!
WAIT! WAIT A MINUTE!
WAIT! WAIT!
NOT NOW, BUBBLETOP.
NOT HERE.
I'LL MURDERIZE 'EM!
I'M GONNA LET YOU HAVE 'EM, BUBBLETOP.
YOU CAN PICK 'EM CLEAN,
BUT FIRST WE TALK.
DISHONEST CROOKS. HYPOCRITSITS.
YOU MADE FOOLS OF US, MR. MONGO SLADE.
YOU WON A SMALL VICTORY, BUT YOU GONNA LOSE THE WAR.
YOUR WIVES GONNA BE WIDOWS
AND YOUR LODGE GONNA BE MARCHING BACK AND FORTH
TO THE CEMETERY.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT FARNSWORTH'S HYPNOSIS
AND 10 GRAND AT 5-TO-1.
HYPNOSIS? WE DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NO HYPNOSIS.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HYPNOSIS?
NO, WE DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NO HYPNOSIS.
BUBBLETOP KNOWS ABOUT HYPNOSIS.
WANT HIM TO SHOW YOU WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT IT?
NO! NO!
NO, NO, NO, NO. WE--WE--
WE KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT HYPNOSIS.
JUST A LITTLE.
YOU PUT THE WHAMMY ON FARNSWORTH,
MADE HIM THINK HE WAS SUPERMAN.
THEN YOU PUT THE BITE ON US AND DISAPPEARED.
TOOK A WHILE TO FIGURE IT OUT
AND A WHILE LONGER TO FIND YOU,
BUT WE GOT YOUR ASSES NOW.
WHAT YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT FOR?
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PUT THE WHAMMY ON FARNSWORTH--
DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.
AND DON'T LOOK AT NONE OF MY BOYS, NEITHER.
LOOK AT HIM.
ANY OF YOU GUYS FEEL SLEEPY?
NOW CUT THAT OUT!
WHERE'D YOU LEARN TO PUT THE WHAMMY
ON PEOPLE LIKE THAT?
IN THE ARMY. MEDICAL CORP.
WELL, BUBBLETOP GONNA PUT BOTH Y'ALL
TO SLEEP SOON ENOUGH IF YOU DON'T JUMP
AT THIS PROPOSITION I'M GONNA LAY ON YOU.
PROPOSITION?
WHAT-- WHAT PROPOSITION?
ONE THAT WILL GET OUR MONEY BACK
AND AT THE SAME TIME WE WIPE OUT BIGGIE SMALLS,
PUT HIM OUT OF BUSINESS FOR GOOD.
THE REMATCH BETWEEN FARNSWORTH
AND 40th STREET BLACK IS COMING UP
ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT.
THE 6 OF US IN THIS ROOM ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD THAT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME.
NOT FARNSWORTH NOR ANY OF HIS PEOPLE
HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHAT WENT DOWN.
QUIET AS IT'S KEPT,
FARNSWORTH IS HIS OLD SELF AGAIN.
HIS SPARRING PARTNERS
ARE KNOCKIN' HIM AROUND THE RING.
HE LOST THAT CONFIDENCE YOU GAVE HIM,
AND NOW HIS PUNCHES CAN'T BREAK AN EGG.
SO?
SO YOU COME BACK TO ORLEANS
AND HYPNOTIZE FARNSWORTH AGAIN
3 DAYS BEFORE THE FIGHT SO THE WHOLE WORLD CAN SEE
THAT HE IS BACK IN WINNING CONDITION
AND EVERYBODY WILL WANT TO BET ON HIM.
ME AND MY BOYS WILL COVER THOSE BETS.
THEN ON THE MORNING OF THE FIGHT,
YOU WILL DEHYPNOTIZE FARNSWORTH
SO WHEN HE CLIMBS IN THAT RING,
HE'LL BE HIS OLD, SCARED SELF AGAIN.
AFTER THE FIGHT, WE'LL BE EVEN
AND YOU'LL BE FREE TO GO.
WELL, HOW DO WE KNOW WE CAN TRUST YOU?
I TRUST YOU.
ME, TOO. ME, TOO.
SO WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?
YOU COMING BACK TO ORLEANS
OR YOU GONNA ASK THE GRAND SUPREME
TO MAKE OUT YOUR FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS?
WELL, I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED GOING TO NEW ORLEANS.
I'D--I'D RATHER GO--
I'D RATHER GO TO NEW ORLEANS...
THAN THE CEMETERY.
MMM.
WELL, WELL, WELL. MONGO SLADE.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I WANT TO PLACE A BET ON THE FIGHT.
NO KIDDING.
HOW MUCH OF A BET?
50,000.
ON WHO?
BOOTNEY FARNSWORTH.
YOU KNOW LIGHTNING DOESN'T STRIKE THE SAME PLACE TWICE?
SAYS WHO?
UH, LOOK.
EXCUSE ME A MINUTE.
I GOTTA DISCUSS WITH MY COLLEAGUES HERE
BEFORE I CAN OK A BET OF SUCH MAGNITUDE.
YOU UNDERSTAND, DON'T YOU?
BROTHER.
TAKE YOUR TIME...
BROTHER.
THE LAST TIME THAT CHUMP WAS IN HERE,
HE BURNED US GOOD.
HE KNOWS SOMETHING. I CAN FEEL IT!
YEAH, ME, TOO, BOSS.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO STALL HIM
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
AND LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT FARNSWORTH,
SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME KIND
OF LINE ON HIM.
BECAUSE IF THAT GUY KNOWS SOMETHING,
THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE SHOULDN'T
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
RIGHT. OPEN IT.
MONGO, I SUSPECT WE CAN COVER YOUR BET,
BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GIVE US A COUPLE OF DAYS
WHILE I GET SOME EXTRA CASH IN FROM OUT OF TOWN.
JUST SO LONG AS YOU'LL COVER ME
BEFORE FIGHT TIME, BIGGIE.
OH, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
IN THAT CASE, I'LL EASE ON.
WELL, IF IT AIN'T SHUFF-ALONG MACK
AND HIS OLD-TIME DARKIES.
BIGGIE SMALLS.
YOUR MAMA STILL WORKING IN THEM $10 HOUSES?
SOME OTHER TIME.
ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'M GONNA CLIMB
ALL OVER YOU.
IT'LL TAKE MORE GUTS THAN YOU'VE GOT, BIGGIE.
YOU GOT TO BRING ASS TO GET ASS.
YOU'RE COLORFUL, MACK.
DUMB, OLD-FASHIONED, AND OUT OF STYLE,
BUT COLORFUL.
BIGGIE, YOU OUT OF YOUR TERRITORY,
AND I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE COME INTO MY TOWN
WITHOUT PAYING THEIR RESPECT.
WELL, WE NO LONGER CONSIDER THIS TOWN
AS OUT OF OUR TERRITORY.
WATCH YOUR MOUTH, SON.
IN FACT, I'VE BROUGHT YOU A MESSAGE FROM THE BOYS
IN KENTUCKY AND ALABAMA.
THEY SAY YOU RUN THIS TOWN LIKE A SISSY
AND THEY THINK YOU OUGHT TO CONSIDER RETIRING.
WE'RE READY TO TALK A DEAL.
DEAL? LISTEN, MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA
BELONG TO ME AND MY BOYS,
AND YOU'LL BE ONE DEAD SUCKER,
ALONG WITH ALL THE REST OF THESE YOUNG COLLEGE CLOWNS,
IF YOU TRY THAT EXPANSION STUFF ON US.
YOU KNOW HOW THINGS ARE NOWADAYS
WITH THE GAMBLING AND SPORTING LIFE
IN THE BACK BELT.
THERE'S NO NEED FOR TWO OF US.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, BIGGIE.
NOW, MACK.
I WOULDN'T LIKE TO SEE NO VIOLENCE.
YOU AIN'T GONNA HAVE TO.
I'M GONNA HIT YOU SO HARD YOU WON'T SEE NOTHING, EVER!
MEANTIME, WHILE YOU A GUEST IN MY TOWN,
IF YOU AND YOUR BOYS LOOKING FOR SOME ACTION,
WE BETTING ON FARNSWORTH.
IF Y'ALL LIKE 40th STREET BLACK,
I'LL COVER EVERYTHING YOU GOT, SUCKER.
HEY, BOSS. YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
I'M LOOKING. I'M LOOKING.
THOSE GUYS ARE WORKING FOR MACK.
Biggie: WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.
IT WAS MACK ALL ALONG WHO BEAT US OUT
OF THAT BREAD IN THE FIRST FIGHT.
YEAH, LOOKS LIKE WE WERE SET UP.
IT SEEMS THAT LIGHTNING IS TRYING TO STRIKE
IN THE SAME PLACE TWICE.
THIS WHOLE THING HAS FINALLY COME TOGETHER.
OH, YEAH, BOSS?
YEAH!
SLADE COMES OVER TO US
TO DROP SOME HEAVY CASH ON FARNSWORTH,
THINKING WE'D BE ONLY TOO GLAD TO PICK IT UP
BECAUSE THE WORD IS OUT THAT FARNSWORTH
AIN'T GOT NOTHING GOING FOR HIM.
MACK IS BETTING ON FARNSWORTH
WHILE TELLING US THAT WE CAN BET
ON 40th STREET BLACK.
SO WHERE'S ALL THE HEAVY MONEY GOING?
ON 40th STREET BLACK.
RIGHT!
SUCKER MONEY, EVERY LAST CENT OF IT,
'CAUSE HERE IT IS THE LAST DAY OF SPARRING,
AND FARNSWORTH CHANGES UP
AFTER PLAYING POSSUM FOR ALL THESE WEEKS.
AND FOR THE SUCKERS IT'S TOO LATE,
AND MACK KNOWS IT.
AND IF WE HADN'T SEEN THIS SESSION,
WE'D HAVE BET ON BLACK, TOO,
AND WE'D HAVE BEEN CLEANED OUT.
MACK IS A FOX, A DIRTY OL' FOX.
YOU CALL KENTUCKY AND ALABAMA
AND GET EVERY CENT YOU CAN MUSTER UP
IN HERE TO ME AS FAST AS YOU CAN GET IT.
RIGHT, BOSS.
WE ARE GONNA HIT
EVERY BOOK IN THIS TOWN
WITH BIG BUCKS, UNDERSTAND?
NOTHING BUT HEAVY, HEAVY BETS!
YOU GET THE WORD AROUND TOWN
THAT WE'RE BETTING ON FARNSWORTH,
AND YOU TELL ALL TAKERS
THAT THE ODDS ARE NEGOTIABLE.
IT'S AS GOOD AS DONE, BOSS.
OK, YOU CONTACT EVERY BOOK IN TOWN.
TELL 'EM THAT BIGGIE SMALLS AND HIS BOYS ARE BETTING
VERY HEAVY ON FARNSWORTH, AND WE COVERING EVERY CENT.
LET'S GO.
YEAH, THIS IS MACK.
GOOD.
FELLAS...
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
YEAH?
Mack: EVERYTHING'S SET.
IT'S TIME TO DEHYPNOTIZE OUR FRIEND.
AND DO IT RIGHT, UNDERSTAND?
YEAH. WE'RE LEAVING NOW.
WHERE DO YOU HAVE TO GO SO EARLY?
IT'S 8:00 IN THE MORNING.
THAT WAS MR. CLUTCH, DEAR. YOU CAN PLAN A LONG DAY.
WELL, MAKE A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE LODGE, HONEY.
SURE.
MACK JUST CALLED. IT'S ALL SET.
IT'S UP TO YOU NOW.
UHH! WELL?
I COULDN'T CATCH HIM.
WELL, WHERE IS HE?
AT THE RATE HE'S GOING,
HE'S IN MEXICO BY NOW.
WELL, COME ON. WE HAVE TO CATCH HIM
AT HIS HOTEL.
COME ON, STICK, STICK. THERE YOU GO.
STICK IT, STICK IT. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
CROSS WITH THE RIGHT. CROSS THE RIGHT.
CROSS THE RIGHT.
THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO.
SHOOT SOME JABS. JAB, JAB!
FELLAS, GO AHEAD AND PUT HIM TO BED.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID WITH THE KEY.
I MUST'VE LEFT IT DOWN IN THE BAR
OR SOMEWHERE-- OH, MISS!
PARDON ME. DO YOU HAVE A KEY?
COULD YOU OPEN THE DOOR
'CAUSE I LEFT THE KEY DOWN IN THE BAR
OR SOMEWHERE, I DON'T KNOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!
OH!
OH, UH...DO YOU HAVE YOUR CARD?
GET--GET-- GET YOUR CARD OUT.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND YOUR CARD.
OH, MY CARD.
HERE IT IS! HERE'S THE CARD!
NO, THIS IS FROM THE SUIT.
UH...
WE REPRESENT THE CHAMP'S HOMETOWN--
WE'RE THE LOCAL BOARD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
FROM THE CHAMP'S HOMETOWN--
AND, UH, THIS IS MY FRIEND HERE
AS YOU CAN SEE. NOW, UH...
YES! YOU DID, OF COURSE,
AND YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT ALL OF IT.
BUT WE WROTE A SONG FOR THE CHAMP
COMING FROM POSSUM'S PAW, ALABAMA.
THIS IS, UH... MR. SEBASTIAN SEBASTIAN.
HE'S THE COMPOSER OF THE SONG.
MR. SEBASTIAN.
NOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY, UH...
WONDERING ABOUT THE WINDOW.
YEAH. NO.
YES. WELL. UH, YOU SEE,
WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED HERE,
WE CAME UP TO SEE THE CHAMP LEGITIMATELY.
CAME UP AND WE SAID
WE'D LIKE TO SEE THE CHAMP.
NOW, PEOPLE SAID YOU CANNOT SEE THE CHAMP
THE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT.
SO, MY FRIEND AND I TOOK IT UPON OURSELVES
TO COME OUT ON LEDGES AND DO ALL SORTS OF THINGS,
MAINLY BECAUSE IN OUR HOMETOWN
OF POSSUM'S PAW, ALABAMA,
WHICH IS THE CHAMP'S HOMETOWN ALSO,
THERE IS AN ORPHANAGE.
NOW, THIS ORPHANAGE HAS REAL ORPHANS.
I MEAN, THESE KIDS,
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE...THINGS.
SOME OF 'EM WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
WE GOT, UH, ONE GREEN ONE.
POOR CHILD.
AND HE LOVES THE CHAMP MORE THAN ANYBODY
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYONE TO IDENTIFY WITH.
BUT IF YOU SAY THE CHAMP'S NAME,
WHY, THEY START ACTING
JUST LIKE THEY HAD REAL PARENTS
AND THEY'RE RUNNING AROUND
WRITING THEIR NAMES ON THE WALLS.
WE DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON OURSELVES
TO COME IN THROUGH THE WINDOW...
TO TRY TO GET TO THE CHAMP
TO SEE IF THERE'S SOME WAY THAT WE COULD SING THE SONG.
SO WE'D LIKE TO SING IT FOR YOU
IF IT'S ALL RIGHT.

THEY CAME RUNNING FORTH,
THROUGH A DOOR THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
JUST CAME RUNNING!
AND YOU SAW THEM. THEY WERE EXCITED,
LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN.
OH, HO, HO, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE.
WE DON'T KNOW WHO WE ARE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND THEY PLEAD THE FIFTH 'CAUSE THEY'RE GANGSTERS!
AND THAT'S WHY THEY LOOKED FUNNY
WHEN THEY RAN IN HERE.
DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE.
THEY WANTED TO HELP.
AND SO THAT'S WHY THEY'RE HERE--
TO AID THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO, ON BEHALF OF MR. MacARTHUR CLUTCH,
$10,000 FOR THE COMMUNITY TEENS
RECREATION CENTER!
AND ON BEHALF OF MR. HIAWATHA SMALLS,
ANOTHER $10,000 FOR THE 27th PRECINCT
COMMUNITY YOUTH CENTER!
BECAUSE MR. SMALLS AND MR. CLUTCH
ARE SUCH CONCERNED CITIZENS,
THEY HAVE ONE MORE DONATION TO MAKE.
THESE 2 RECONSTRUCTED GENTLEMEN ASKED
THAT $5,000 EACH BE DONATED TO A LARGE
NURSERY SCHOOL FUND IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
HA HA HA! HA HA HA!
OH, MY--
THIS IS FOR ATLANTA.
THE NURSERY BACK THERE.
NOW, UH...
HA HA HA. YES, SIR.
HA HA HA. EXCUSE US A SECOND.
IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO,
I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR THIS.
OH, THAT'S REALLY TOO BAD.
IT SURE WOULD BE.
I MEAN, THAT WOULD MEAN LIEUTENANT BOTTOMLEY
WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THAT ENVELOPE
WITH ALL THAT EVIDENCE.
THAT'S REALLY TOO BAD
BECAUSE I LIKE SOME OF THESE GUYS.
YOU LYIN'.
OH? LIEUTENANT BOTTOMLEY?
♪ OOH HOO ♪
WOULD YOU TELL THEM ABOUT THE ENVELOPE?
YES. I HAVE AN ENVELOPE IN MY SAFE.
IT'S TO BE OPENED IN CASE MY FRIENDS HERE
MEET WITH ANY UNTIMELY ACCIDENT.
OR COME DOWN WITH A SEVERE CASE OF DEATH.
HA HA HA!
YOU CAN TRUST US, LIEUTENANT.
WE WOULDN'T DREAM OF HURTIN'
THESE 2 FINE GENTLEMEN. NO.
GOOD. JUST IN CASE,
I'M GONNA MAKE MY OWN STIPULATIONS.
NOW, THAT ENVELOPE STAYS LOCKED IN MY SAFE
JUST AS LONG AS I DON'T SEE
A TRACE OF YOU TWO IN MY FAIR CITY AGAIN.
AGREED?
OH, YOU CAN COUNT ON US, YOUR HONOR.
I NEVER DID LIKE NEW ORLEANS THAT MUCH NO HOW.
JUST SO'S WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
SAY, CLYDE, LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION.
IF YOU HAD A BOXING MATCH
BETWEEN MUHAMMAD ALI AND SAMMY DAVIS JR.,
HOW MUCH YOU THINK THEY'D DRAW?
ARE YOU CRAZY?
NO, I'M SERIOUS. HOW MUCH?
AND I SUPPOSE YOU'D WANT ME TO HYPNOTIZE SAMMY?
HA HA HA.
NO.
YOU HEAR ME?
N-O. NO!
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
BETTING AGAINST SAMMY DAVIS JR.
AIN'T NOBODY GONNA BET ON SAMMY DAVIS JR.
MAN DON'T WEIGH BUT ABOUT 118 POUNDS.
FIGHTIN' A MAN WEIGH 230 POUNDS.
ALI'D BE SO COMFORTABLE,
HE'D COME IN WEIGHING 340 POUNDS.
COME IN, HIT SAMMY DEAD ON TOP OF THE HEAD,
BREAK BOTH HIS LEGS.
THAT'D BE THE END OF THE FIGHT.
BUT IF YOU HYPNOTIZE HIM,
WE GO IN THERE 800-TO-1.
