00:00:06The End
00:00:37The End
00:01:03The End
00:01:32What you looking at?
00:01:33Nothing
00:01:34What's that for?
00:01:35For nothing
00:01:36Next time you want to look at me, line forms to the right, two bits admission
00:01:40Oh, Monk, what do you want us to do?
00:01:42Walk around you with blinkers on?
00:01:43I don't want guys looking at me, special
00:01:45Like it was the first time they seen me
00:01:48You see this?
00:01:50Yeah, but I got one too
00:01:51Anytime you want to use it, my office is in the gutter
00:01:54And next time you take a special look at me, think of this
00:01:57Suddenly you don't see Monk, you see stars
00:02:01You've pushed us off for a while
00:02:06Copper?
00:02:07No, it's cold out there
00:02:09Then stay in here, if it's too cold for you, it's too cold for the law
00:02:12After all, he's only wearing woman underwear and a 15-pound overcoat
00:02:16Yeah, but what if one does come by?
00:02:19Angelo, take it from me, the law won't make it
00:02:21There's too much interference on this block
00:02:23First, he stops the Pacino Saloon
00:02:25On a cold day, the law needs a shot
00:02:27All right, big shot, cut the falaver and give me a hand here
00:02:30Mine's falling off
00:02:31Come on, Joey
00:02:32Yeah, okay, Monk
00:02:44Good evening, boy
00:02:49What do you want, Father?
00:02:51I swore to myself I'd never let anything in this neighborhood surprise me
00:02:56But tell me, in the name of heaven, what are you going to do with the staircase?
00:02:59We're freezing, Father, freezing we are, all of us
00:03:01Oh, this is for firework, but this is just kindling
00:03:04So we use this up, so we get more
00:03:06Well, what about the tenants who still live in the building?
00:03:10But you are destroying the landlord's property
00:03:12Look, Father, this is a condemned tenement
00:03:16You know what that means?
00:03:17Any rent the landlord gets from this trap is velvet
00:03:20But you're breaking the law
00:03:22Nobody's seen us
00:03:24Nobody but you
00:03:27Listen, boys, I've got a better way for you to keep warm
00:03:30In the basement of the church, there's some gym equipment
00:03:33Boxing gloves, wrestling mats, punching bag
00:03:36Even shower baths
00:03:39It is also steam-heated
00:03:40You're all welcome
00:03:41So great
00:03:42What about the old man, the old lady?
00:03:44They're freezing, too
00:03:45I'm sure they'd rather stay cold than get hot
00:03:47Digging up bail money for you, boys
00:03:52Okay, Father
00:03:54You make sense
00:03:56We'll go over to the church
00:03:57You can't talk for all the billy goats without us taking a vote on you
00:04:00Who says I can?
00:04:01I see
00:04:01Boy, settle it your own way, but do it peacefully
00:04:05Remember, the invitation is for all
00:04:08I'm new at St. Dominic's
00:04:09And this might be a chance for us to get acquainted
00:04:13I'll be looking for you
00:04:18Before we go, we might as well divvy up the wood we got
00:04:23What goes here?
00:04:25A minute ago, we had a whole stack of wood
00:04:40Hey, Mon, Ben's mine
00:04:42I took him on my own time for Brachetto's market
00:04:44That's what you get for holding out on us
00:04:51Anybody care for some mustard?
00:04:59He's red again
00:05:01I don't like it
00:05:05I don't like my son to become bandito
00:05:07Become a Gino
00:05:08Maybe he's a looker for wood
00:05:10Yeah
00:05:10The way he's a looker for wood, he find a trouble
00:05:20Where do you steal that, bandito?
00:05:23Paul, will you steal?
00:05:24No, always you think the worst of me
00:05:27Someday I'm not going to be wrong
00:05:28Don't talk about it
00:05:28Check him still
00:05:29You hear me once more
00:05:30You'll never see me here no more
00:05:32Please, please
00:05:34No, Mama Mia
00:05:36This was given by the new priest at St. Dominic's
00:05:38I helped him clean out the church
00:05:40Vero, parlo, vero
00:05:41Si, Mama, vero
00:05:43Then it's all right
00:05:45I had some wood I'd give it to Angelo
00:06:12All right, please
00:06:19He's a new priest. He's Irish, huh?
00:06:21Yeah, he's a young guy.
00:06:23Why not stay with his own people?
00:06:25Little Italy is for Italians.
00:06:27Sheena, do not speak a soul of a priest.
00:06:32He's a give us a call.
00:06:37Maybe he's a get a job for Marlowe, huh?
00:06:39Yeah, and he's teaching me.
00:06:56This priest, what is he teaching, huh?
00:06:58Oh, things.
00:07:01He explained the good book to you.
00:07:03He make you say over the Ten Commandments, huh?
00:07:05What's the difference? He's teaching me.
00:07:26Here, let me show you.
00:07:28Oh, go ahead.
00:07:29Only a muttonhead would get mad at a punching bag.
00:07:32It isn't as if it had a will of its own.
00:07:33It's tricky.
00:07:34Only because you don't know how to handle it.
00:07:36First, you sort of coax it.
00:07:37I'll never be any good at this coaxing stuff.
00:07:39Well, you have to learn.
00:07:40All you boys around here think fighting means killing somebody.
00:07:43That's right.
00:07:44This block, you turn your head, you're just asking for it.
00:07:46But the science of boxing will teach you that...
00:07:48Oh, you don't have to teach me how to fight.
00:07:50I can take care of myself.
00:07:51In street brawls.
00:07:52On the roof, in a dark hallway, the subway, the park, anywheres.
00:07:56Wherever there's three of you to one.
00:07:57I don't need any extra help.
00:07:59Good.
00:08:00Perhaps you'd like to prove it to me.
00:08:02Angelo.
00:08:03Yes, Father.
00:08:04Oh, I wouldn't lay a hand on no father.
00:08:07Well, I'm glad to see that you have so much respect for the cloth.
00:08:09But just the same, I think you're about ready for your first boxing lesson.
00:08:12Come on.
00:08:13Look, Father, I don't want to fight you.
00:08:15I'll hurt you or something.
00:08:16He'll murder you, Father.
00:08:17It's awful hard.
00:08:18Let me worry about that.
00:08:19You just try to take care of yourself.
00:08:21We're trying to prove that a human being can protect himself...
00:08:23...without killing his opponent.
00:08:25Come on, get on to the mat and fight like a man, not an ape.
00:08:28Just remember, Father, you asked for it.
00:08:34Come on, Monk.
00:08:39Come on, Monk.
00:09:01Father, I gotta know.
00:09:03What did you hit me with?
00:09:05That, my boy, was sort of an...
00:09:08...extracurricular part of my religious training, better known as a left jab.
00:09:13It has a definite value convincing certain types of unbelievers.
00:09:16It convinced your friends, it convinced you.
00:09:18Will you teach me that?
00:09:19Indeed, I will.
00:09:22Sometimes in anger, one forgets the Lord, but never the knack of throwing a left jab.
00:09:27And, Paul, I called you Monk to prove a point.
00:09:34You're gonna have to live with face.
00:09:36I know you're sensitive about your looks, but your face is God's dispensation.
00:09:41And you can't escape it by brutally beating up everything in the world that looks at you or dislikes it.
00:09:47Yeah, I guess so, Father.
00:09:50It's just that I get mad any time anybody makes cracks.
00:09:56When I was a kid, none of the other kids would play with me.
00:09:59The neighbors would look at me like I had the evil eye or something.
00:10:04Father, I'm 19 years old, going on 20.
00:10:07Nobody can look at me straight. No girl even comes near me.
00:10:13Angelo's the only one ever really was my friend. Face and no face.
00:10:19Tell me, Father Callahan, don't it make you feel different?
00:10:22To have to talk to me and look at this?
00:10:26No. No, I can honestly say it makes no difference.
00:10:33Paul.
00:10:35A man's face is such an external thing.
00:10:38Like his skin being red or brown or black or white.
00:10:42Like his hair being long or short.
00:10:45These things are the covering of a man.
00:10:47And after all, I'm mainly concerned with the deepest inside part of it.
00:10:53Many people suffer because of their color, of their size, of their shape, or the kind of face they have
00:11:01is different.
00:11:01But the most important thing to remember is this.
00:11:04If you hate your face because they hate it.
00:11:07If you call yourself ugly because some ignorant man called you ugly.
00:11:12You're just as guilty as he is. Guilty.
00:11:16You simply have no right to be so intolerant.
00:11:19Even of yourself.
00:11:21Only fools would laugh at you.
00:11:23But you mustn't help them by losing your head.
00:11:26And besides, I don't think your face is so ugly as all that.
00:11:31After all, I'm no beauty myself.
00:11:35And anyway, underneath it all, I think you're a pretty nice guy, Paul Barone.
00:11:40And that's a lot more important than being just pretty.
00:11:44And if you'll drop back tomorrow, I'll show you exactly what hit you.
00:12:05Now only a mutton head would get mad at a punching bag.
00:12:08You gotta coax it.
00:12:13Stay with it, you'll catch on.
00:12:15Now all you guys are gonna learn how to fight proper-like.
00:12:17Off with the coat, Pete. You're next.
00:12:19Oh no, Monk.
00:12:19Come on, come on.
00:12:28Now there'll be none of that, Pete.
00:12:30Father Callahan was good enough to let us use the place.
00:12:33So leave the stuff alone.
00:12:45All right, let's go.
00:12:48Put up your guard.
00:12:53Now don't drop your guard just because I faint.
00:12:55Try it again.
00:12:57Yeah, but suppose I drop a milk bottle on you from the roof.
00:12:59What good's this?
00:13:00We'll see.
00:13:02Now you see, sometimes there's no milk bottle handy.
00:13:05A left jab is your best friend.
00:13:07Yeah.
00:13:11And this is our gym, Miss Brooks.
00:13:14Perhaps in time we can use it as a recreation hall.
00:13:17It's large enough.
00:13:20Of course you'll have to get some games and some new equipment.
00:13:22You mean some new patrons.
00:13:25Boys, this is Miss Brooks, who's coming down evenings to work with our social program.
00:13:30Hi.
00:13:31Hello.
00:13:32Paul, would you come here a minute?
00:13:36I particularly want to introduce you to Paul Barone.
00:13:39He's going to help me with our physical culture program.
00:13:42Oh.
00:13:43Pleased to meet you.
00:13:49I guess you and I will be working together.
00:13:52Well, I guess so.
00:14:07Well, you couldn't do that last month.
00:14:08That's right, Father.
00:14:11What's that for?
00:14:12That's for calling me Father.
00:14:14Paul, we've talked about this before.
00:14:16You read the books, I give you without any trouble.
00:14:18But you still persist in talking East 106th Street.
00:14:21I know it's part of your mechanism of being tough, but...
00:14:24With my own ears, I have heard you pronounce words like a human being.
00:14:28Well, hymns and prayers is different.
00:14:30They're all printed in English.
00:14:32And if you can say Father in church, you can pronounce it correctly elsewhere.
00:14:37Okay.
00:14:39Father.
00:14:45Now we can get down to business.
00:14:47Tell me what's eating you.
00:14:49What?
00:14:50Don't try to kid me.
00:14:51You've been fiddling around here for the last half hour talking about this and that.
00:14:56Let's stop beating around the bush and get to it.
00:15:00Okay, Father.
00:15:02I'll give it to you straight.
00:15:05I've been watching the services.
00:15:09You know, listening and everything.
00:15:12Like I told you, it gets me.
00:15:13Especially the singing.
00:15:17Father.
00:15:19If you think I could.
00:15:22I'd like to try and sing in the choir.
00:15:26Of course, Paul. Of course.
00:15:29I wasn't laughing at you.
00:15:31But I am impressed by your courage.
00:15:33Yes, your courage.
00:15:35And you certainly shall get a chance to sing in the choir.
00:15:38Providing, of course, you can sing.
00:15:41Come on.
00:15:42We'll have the choir master try your voice now.
00:15:50Hello, Mama.
00:15:56Ah.
00:15:57I see Father Calahani teaching you again today, huh?
00:16:00No, Mama.
00:16:01Today I study singing.
00:16:02You cutting your face at the high C?
00:16:04No, no.
00:16:05The choir master says I got a voice.
00:16:07Kind of rough, he says, but a baritone.
00:16:09And they need a baritone.
00:16:10You see, Mama, most of the kids are 11, 12 years old.
00:16:14All they got is sopranos or altos.
00:16:16Me?
00:16:17Me, I'm a man.
00:16:18I got a man's voice.
00:16:19And tomorrow, Mama, for the first time,
00:16:22I get to sing with the regular choir in church at services.
00:16:25Ah, no. That's a good, that's a good one.
00:16:29Money.
00:16:46What do you think, Tony?
00:16:48Is it a dame?
00:16:49Or maybe it's just about a Callahan stooge.
00:16:52Why don't you guys beat it?
00:16:54This is no place for a beef.
00:16:55Huh.
00:16:56Ain't he pretty?
00:17:00Where'd you get the skirts, Monk?
00:17:03We don't want a beef.
00:17:04We would like a dance.
00:17:06How about a date, Monk?
00:17:08Where's your girl?
00:17:09You're a chicken grinder, Monk.
00:17:10He got the face and the skirts for it.
00:17:13All you need now is a tin cup.
00:17:14Monk!
00:17:15Get your lace panties, dirty.
00:17:18What's the matter, Angie?
00:17:19You losing your knives?
00:17:20Listen, you guys.
00:17:21Monk ain't done nothing to nobody.
00:17:22What do you mean he ain't done nothing?
00:17:24He quit, didn't he?
00:17:25You know we got a rule.
00:17:27Nobody quits the goats.
00:17:29Nothing gets away with it.
00:17:30Huh, fellas?
00:17:30That's right.
00:17:31Now look at him.
00:17:33Callahan's sissy.
00:17:34Then we let him push us around.
00:17:37Tough guy.
00:17:37Monk Barone.
00:17:39Look at him.
00:17:40Come on, fellas.
00:17:41Let's get him.
00:18:02What did I do?
00:18:05It was an accident.
00:18:06I didn't mean it.
00:18:08It was an accident.
00:18:09Help!
00:18:10Murder!
00:18:10Help!
00:18:11Police!
00:18:11Monk, get going.
00:18:13Monk, you gotta get out of here.
00:18:16But it was an accident.
00:18:18Look, Monk, you ain't no kid.
00:18:21Nobody's gonna believe it was any accident.
00:18:23The cops still remember you.
00:18:25Father Callahan ain't gonna be here to put in a good word for you.
00:18:29Monk, you gotta get out of here to the courtyard.
00:18:31Hide there.
00:18:32I'll come meet her tonight now.
00:18:34Get going!
00:18:56I'll come meet her tonight now.
00:19:03Angie!
00:19:05Angie!
00:19:06Angie!
00:19:06Angie!
00:19:07Monk, I'm glad I found you.
00:19:08Here's some chocolate in your coat.
00:19:09That's all I can get.
00:19:10How is he?
00:19:11Go ahead and eat.
00:19:15They took him to the hospital.
00:19:16He's hurt, but he's okay.
00:19:18You sure?
00:19:19Sure.
00:19:22Monk, you gotta stay away off the block.
00:19:24Monk, you can't go home.
00:19:28The only guy ever did me a good turn, and I sent him to the hospital.
00:19:35This kisser of mine.
00:19:36This ape's face.
00:19:38Monk.
00:19:39Monk Barone.
00:19:40It's a curse.
00:19:41It's a curse from God.
00:19:42It's bad luck for everybody I know.
00:19:43Shh.
00:19:44Hold her down.
00:19:45You gotta get a hold of yourself.
00:19:47We gotta figure out what you're gonna do.
00:19:48With this face and these fists, what can I do?
00:20:12One, two, three, four.
00:20:16Boo!
00:20:18Boo!
00:20:23Hey, where are your table manners?
00:20:24It's customary for a winner to help carry his defeated opponent to a corner.
00:20:29The defeated opponent can lay there for all I care.
00:20:32They're booing me, not him.
00:20:42What kind of watch did they give us this time?
00:20:44Same kind.
00:20:47Imitation gold.
00:20:48When are we gonna finish with this imitation and get into the real stuff?
00:20:51Soon, I hope.
00:20:54Well, it's good for four bucks.
00:20:56So you and me split a steak and then we split a pool table.
00:21:01Someday we get twin beds.
00:21:18Oh, no.
00:21:19Oh, no.
00:21:21Oh, no.
00:21:21Don't.
00:21:22Don't tell me you're bringing me another watch.
00:21:25That's all they give us.
00:21:26Another guy's silly.
00:21:27You bust a knuckle.
00:21:28All you get is a gold watch.
00:21:29All these watches ticking away in my safe.
00:21:32They're driving me crazy.
00:21:34Even if I can't hear them, they keep me awake.
00:21:37Oh, here you are.
00:21:41Just one, two, three, four.
00:21:47And don't bring me any more watches.
00:21:49We can't eat the springs.
00:21:50Well, then why don't you get wise to yourself?
00:21:55Come here, kid.
00:21:57You know, you must have dynamite in those fists.
00:22:00This is the sixth watch they've given you in three weeks, isn't it?
00:22:04Mostly one-round chaos.
00:22:05Well, then why don't you get wise and become a pro?
00:22:11That's easy to say, but how?
00:22:13The gyms are crawling with Golden Glovers.
00:22:15We don't know anybody on the west side.
00:22:17Who do you see?
00:22:18Who do you talk to?
00:22:19All right, so listen and I'll tell you.
00:22:22Now you go up to Griffin's private gym, 10th Avenue and 48th Street.
00:22:28Walk up one flight.
00:22:36What?
00:22:39This is it?
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:41There's the saloon.
00:22:42Come on.
00:23:03Say, bud, who is this Mr. Hellman?
00:23:06That's him over there with the glasses.
00:23:08He's reading.
00:23:09Yeah, he's always reading.
00:23:17Could we talk to you, Mr. Hellman?
00:23:20Well, that would depend, I should say, on your range of conversation.
00:23:24What would you like to discuss?
00:23:26Somebody told us to ask for you.
00:23:28How cozy.
00:23:29But we're not supposed to say who.
00:23:32Well, if you tell me who, I might listen.
00:23:35That's the first trait I like to find in a fighter is treachery.
00:23:38The ability to betray your confidence.
00:23:41Look, Mr. Hellman, we ain't good at this double talk, but my buddy here's got the makings of a good
00:23:47fighter.
00:23:48Why come to me? I'm a manager. I'm not a trainer.
00:23:50Because Uncle won't take any more imitation gold watches.
00:23:58You do much fighting?
00:23:59Six amateurs. One all six by knockouts.
00:24:01I hate bragging. Just breathe easy, boy. Don't throw your chest out. What's your name?
00:24:05Young Barone.
00:24:06Yeah.
00:24:07Oh, I bet that's a lie.
00:24:10Why, even those Penny Annie fans support those stupid amateurs wouldn't stand still for that physiognomy of yours going under
00:24:16that banner.
00:24:18Young.
00:24:19Oh, you're old, boy. Your face is old. It's atavistic. It's almost prehistoric.
00:24:25Come on, give me the truth. What name do you fight under? Ape Barone or Gorilla Barone?
00:24:29It's Monk. Yeah, Monk!
00:24:32You know you mustn't hit a man with glasses.
00:24:35Then don't needle, my buddy. We slept on a pool table.
00:24:38We had a drinker and a cup of coffee for breakfast.
00:24:40And teach him to control himself.
00:24:44Then talk to us like human beings.
00:24:48Why?
00:24:51Look, I hate to teach anybody anything, but there's one lesson that I'll teach you.
00:24:55Never lose your temper except in the ring.
00:24:57Most fighters, I say never lose your temper, especially in the ring.
00:25:00But you, if you ever fight for me, that's where I want you to lose it.
00:25:03I want you to snarl, spit, show your fangs.
00:25:05I want a real primitive show.
00:25:08Monk, Barone.
00:25:12Okay, okay.
00:25:13Would you like to see him box?
00:25:16Well, you said he won his first six by knockouts. Let's see here.
00:25:24Here we are.
00:25:27Young Barone. Four knockouts, two technical knockouts.
00:25:30Young Barone. Well, what do you know?
00:25:32You boys must be new to the fight game. You're honest.
00:25:35You mean you got a record on Monk?
00:25:37Why, certainly.
00:25:38If I took the word of every would-be pug that comes in here,
00:25:41I'd be spending 24 hours a day listening to stumble bums.
00:25:45Look.
00:25:47Here's 20 bucks.
00:25:48Get yourself a room at the Y and supervises training.
00:25:51See if he runs around the reservoir.
00:25:53Does plenty of gym work.
00:25:54Keep him in shape.
00:25:56But don't overfeed him. I want him hungry.
00:26:00And sign this receipt.
00:26:02Because one way or another, I expect to get my money back.
00:26:10Then you're his manager.
00:26:11I'm his manager.
00:26:13How soon do you want to see him?
00:26:15Keep him out of my sight.
00:26:17But you come back here in about a week,
00:26:18and I'll sign him up for a four-round prelim
00:26:20out at the Staten Island Arena.
00:26:27At least I'll enjoy the ferry ride.
00:26:51At least I'll enjoy the ferry ride.
00:26:57Oh, no.
00:26:58Oh, no.転
00:27:10Oh,
00:27:10no. – You?
00:27:14Ah!
00:27:14no, no. Come on. Hey,
00:27:18honey. Oh,
00:27:29Hello, Mr. Barone.
00:27:30Your record from Italy came in this morning.
00:27:33Would you like to hear it?
00:27:34I sure would.
00:27:35All right. Right over here.
00:28:30Oh, how are you?
00:28:35You still talk to me?
00:28:37I shouldn't for the length of time you've stayed away.
00:28:41Then you're not sore at me.
00:28:43Not sore? Come now, Paul. Even a priest is human.
00:28:47When the side of my head caved in, I could have throttled you.
00:28:49Honest, I didn't mean it.
00:28:51My head was full of stone.
00:28:52I couldn't see who it was.
00:28:54I was so mad. Crazy mad.
00:28:56That scratch healed in due time.
00:28:59What I am angry about is the fact that you stayed away so long.
00:29:02I was ashamed.
00:29:04I did get your conscience money for the choir boy's clothes.
00:29:08In fact, I was able to get six complete outfits.
00:29:11That helps.
00:29:12I saw Angelo slipping the money in the poor box.
00:29:16He wasn't very clever about sneaking it in.
00:29:19I saw him.
00:29:20But I wouldn't go near him.
00:29:21I wanted you to come forward, not your stooge.
00:29:25I just didn't have the nerve.
00:29:27It's all wiped out.
00:29:29Thanks.
00:29:31I see you're still interested in church music.
00:29:35You got the goods on me.
00:29:36Yes, and I intend to club you with it.
00:29:39Paul, I'm going to send off a letter to every sports writer in New York.
00:29:42I can see the headlines now.
00:29:44Wilterweight trains on Gregorian chants.
00:29:47Yes, I'm going to resort to Blackmail if you don't come up and see us.
00:29:51You mean I can?
00:29:52I mean you must.
00:29:55Why, you ungrateful wretch.
00:29:57Who do you think taught you how to throw a left jab?
00:29:59Every time I connect with it, I say,
00:30:01here's a message from Father Callahan.
00:30:04And you've been connecting often.
00:30:05I've been reading about you.
00:30:07Well, here are your orders.
00:30:09This very Saturday night,
00:30:11in the gym where you first learned to coax a punching bag,
00:30:14we're having a dance for the Friends of St. Dominic.
00:30:16A dance?
00:30:17Oh, yes, we've made a lot of progress.
00:30:19You haven't seen the place in over a year.
00:30:21You'll be delighted.
00:30:22How come?
00:30:23That'll cost you two bits.
00:30:25I'll pay at the door.
00:30:26Bring a girl.
00:30:27Ain't got one.
00:30:28Well, who's your manager?
00:30:30Four-eyed buzzard, name of Mr. Hellman.
00:30:32Bring him.
00:30:34He's my manager, not my friend.
00:30:39I found out one thing.
00:30:41In this racket, you got no friends.
00:30:44That's why, when I'm alone,
00:30:47I'm glad I can listen to a little church music.
00:30:50I'm proud of you, Paul.
00:30:52You've grown.
00:30:53You've matured.
00:30:55You've got values.
00:30:57You'll be all right.
00:30:58I still get my block knocked off.
00:31:00You'll be all right.
00:31:01If not as a fighter, as a man.
00:31:04You know, you're somewhat of a celebrity up on East 106th Street.
00:31:07We'll all be glad to see you.
00:31:09Saturday.
00:31:09Okay, Father.
00:31:34Welcome home, Paul.
00:31:36How are you, Angelo?
00:31:37Just fine, Father.
00:31:38It's good to be back.
00:31:39The place looks great.
00:31:40Oh, this is just a start.
00:31:42Someday, perhaps, we'll have a recreation hall
00:31:44big enough for everyone in the community.
00:31:45How are the kids taken to it?
00:31:47That's where the real progress lies.
00:31:48Kindness can perform miracles.
00:31:50You're telling me.
00:31:51Well, make yourself at home, boys.
00:31:53There's plenty of sandwiches and cookies and fruit.
00:31:56Well, I'm afraid you're a little late.
00:31:59There was plenty of refreshment there a minute ago.
00:32:07Excuse me.
00:32:13Hi, Pete.
00:32:14It's been a long time.
00:32:15Hi, Monk.
00:32:16Just a second, Pete.
00:32:23Just a second, Pete.
00:32:40Things don't change much, do they, Pete?
00:32:42Things don't change much, do they, Pete?
00:32:43A nice bump in any of you, Pete.
00:32:59Ah, that's Pete.
00:33:00I still have a ways to go with him.
00:33:02Did you hear about him burning his coat?
00:33:04Say, I did notice his coat had a small patch on it.
00:33:07That's it.
00:33:08As near as I can understand it.
00:33:10Pete was borrowing one of the candle holders from the altar when someone came in the door.
00:33:14Now, this caught Pete by surprise.
00:33:16So he put the holder inside of his coat while the candle was still burning.
00:33:22Well, this sounds like a happy group.
00:33:24Boys, you remember Miss Brooks.
00:33:26Hi.
00:33:26Hi.
00:33:27Hello.
00:33:27You're a little late.
00:33:28We were supposed to work together here at St. Dominic's, remember?
00:33:32I took a holiday.
00:33:34Dad?
00:33:35Oh, thanks.
00:33:36But Father Callahan and Angelo and I, we were just...
00:33:39I'm leaving.
00:33:40I've already left.
00:33:43Looks like your excuses have run out on you.
00:33:58You're light on your feet.
00:34:00It must be the road work I do.
00:34:02Once around the reservoir, every morning.
00:34:04That accounts for endurance, but not for a sense of rhythm.
00:34:07Then it must be punched in the bag.
00:34:09But you're not dancing on your hands.
00:34:12Well, then it's skipping rope.
00:34:14Will you quit shadowboxing?
00:34:15You're just naturally graceful and don't be ashamed of it.
00:34:19It's much better than being awkward.
00:34:21I can tell a born dancer.
00:34:23You coordinate.
00:34:24Oh.
00:34:25That's what I do.
00:34:26And don't pretend you don't understand.
00:34:28Father Callahan said you know much longer words than you use.
00:34:31And you can pronounce all of them correctly.
00:34:34He also said you're a secret reader, the way some people nip on the sly.
00:34:39Okay, Miss Brooks.
00:34:41You got the goods on me.
00:34:43I'll go quiet.
00:34:45I called you Paul.
00:34:47Then, to you I'll speak different.
00:35:14Well, you didn't have to answer with your left jab.
00:35:19Well, you didn't have to answer with your left jab.
00:35:20I'm sorry.
00:35:21But if you saw me in the ring...
00:35:25A girl like you wouldn't go for that sort of business.
00:35:27It's no good.
00:35:36You can do better than that.
00:35:42That's right, you do enjoy good music.
00:35:45But Father Callahan's been talking again.
00:35:48It's no crime to enjoy fine music, Paul.
00:35:51It's the key to a number of good pleasures.
00:35:53After that, you enjoy good books, good food, good conversation, good people, and good relationships.
00:36:07Like the ones I haven't known.
00:36:12Emily.
00:36:15Don't tell me a pretty girl like you doesn't have plenty of boyfriends.
00:36:19If you're trying to find out if I've been sitting around waiting for you, well...
00:36:24I'll have to admit I do go out on other dates.
00:36:29You may get the chance to see me fight yet.
00:36:31You may get the chance to see me fight you.
00:36:50Hiya, handsome.
00:36:52Hi.
00:36:55One roll to see if I win you.
00:36:56Didn't you know?
00:36:57Dice are always loaded in my favor.
00:37:04Two pair.
00:37:13Three of a kind.
00:37:15Guess I don't make the grade tonight.
00:37:17Not with this, then.
00:37:20So long, champ.
00:37:33Two pair.
00:38:11I was coming over.
00:38:13He mentioned it, but never said when.
00:38:14Right now.
00:38:15Since we're alone, I'll get right down to the point.
00:38:17Monk, I bring you good tidings.
00:38:21The Mysteriosos of Cauliflower Rally,
00:38:23those slick, soft-spoken gentlemen
00:38:25that they refer to as the Syndicate,
00:38:27are interested in you.
00:38:28What does that make me?
00:38:30Well, makes you a candidate for big purses.
00:38:32How big?
00:38:33Depends on how well you draw,
00:38:35but you ought to draw well
00:38:35because you're in for a big publicity build-up.
00:38:38Look, Monk, you're going to fight main events in cities
00:38:41where normally they use club fighters like you
00:38:43for curtain raisers,
00:38:44and pretty soon the garden.
00:38:46So if you live sensibly, which you won't,
00:38:48and stay away from fascinating dames,
00:38:50which you probably can't,
00:38:52you'll have some money left to live on
00:38:54after you're punched silly.
00:38:56Where does this switch leave you?
00:38:58Me? Oh, I'm still your manager.
00:39:00I take a smaller cut,
00:39:01but then it's a bigger pie.
00:39:03And fronting for the Syndicate
00:39:05makes certain the pie is on the table.
00:39:07Mr. Hellman,
00:39:09I can see you put up a big battle
00:39:11before you hollered mama.
00:39:13Monk, I leave the heroics to my fighters.
00:39:15They're better equipped for it.
00:39:17I didn't come into this game
00:39:18to go out with any medals.
00:39:19I was attracted to the cash.
00:39:21No reporter will ever quote me
00:39:23as saying I did it for the good of the game
00:39:24or because I enjoyed the companionship
00:39:26of punch-drunk gargoyles.
00:39:31I'd like to take one good swing at you.
00:39:34Obviously.
00:39:35But you won't change my way of thinking.
00:39:37Monk, I'll tell you something.
00:39:39I may be selfish,
00:39:41but I'm honest and I call all the cards
00:39:42even when they're marked.
00:39:43I don't like you.
00:39:44I don't understand you.
00:39:46Keep it that way.
00:39:47You'll be better off.
00:39:49Okay.
00:39:51What do we do about this syndicate?
00:39:53We see them.
00:39:53When?
00:39:54Right now.
00:40:03And, Monk,
00:40:05one word of advice.
00:40:06Don't act conceited with these gentlemen.
00:40:08They don't want you
00:40:09because you're a great fighter.
00:40:10And why tag me?
00:40:11I told you they're smart.
00:40:13They balance the fighters they control.
00:40:15They never match similar boys.
00:40:17That would be boring.
00:40:18The public wants variety.
00:40:19The clever counterpuncher
00:40:20against the slugger.
00:40:21The hell's kitchen lowbrow
00:40:22against the college waltzer.
00:40:24Variety.
00:40:26Dream pusses,
00:40:27angel faces,
00:40:28gentlemen boxers,
00:40:29killers.
00:40:30What am I supposed to be?
00:40:32Well, they didn't tell me,
00:40:34but I understand what they need
00:40:35is a real dirty fighter.
00:40:59How'd you get that?
00:41:00I was fighting pretty boy Jones
00:41:02in New Haven.
00:41:03He wasn't pretty
00:41:04when they carried him out.
00:41:06Well,
00:41:06give me the lowdown.
00:41:07How?
00:41:07Well, Monk,
00:41:09before we tag anyone,
00:41:10we have the boy watch carefully.
00:41:11You were scouted.
00:41:13Then one of our men
00:41:14took these pictures
00:41:14with a hidden camera.
00:41:16We've had them blowing up
00:41:17and slowed down
00:41:18for your benefit and guidance.
00:41:20Well,
00:41:21what do you know?
00:41:23You watch the round?
00:41:27You saw the winner.
00:41:30I sure did.
00:41:32Don't forget him,
00:41:33Monk Moroney.
00:41:34That's the fighter we buy.
00:41:36And from here in,
00:41:38that's the way you fight.
00:41:45Hey, Monk.
00:41:46Monk, come here a minute,
00:41:47will you?
00:41:54We're fighting
00:41:55Sailor Judson
00:41:55in Newark next week.
00:41:57How does he look?
00:41:58You know,
00:41:59that's a funny thing.
00:41:59You never ask me,
00:42:00can he punch?
00:42:01Is he fast?
00:42:01What's his reach?
00:42:02Is he strong?
00:42:03It's always,
00:42:04how does he look?
00:42:05That's all I'm interested in.
00:42:07Well, I'll tell you,
00:42:08the Sailor's a good-looking,
00:42:10clean-cut blonde boy.
00:42:12I'll fix that.
00:42:13You hate every man you fight,
00:42:15don't you?
00:42:16Just evening up a score.
00:42:18That's all.
00:42:27Ladies and gentlemen,
00:42:29this is the main event.
00:42:31In the black corner,
00:42:32wearing purple trunks,
00:42:34weighing in at 167 pounds,
00:42:37Monk Veroni.
00:42:42And here in the white corner,
00:42:44wearing gold trunks,
00:42:46at 170 pounds,
00:42:48Sailor Judson.
00:42:56You boys both know
00:42:58the rules laid down
00:42:58by the Athletic Commission.
00:43:00I want a nice,
00:43:00clean fight,
00:43:01and if a fighter gets knocked down,
00:43:02I want the other fighter
00:43:03to go to the farthest
00:43:04neutral corner.
00:43:05Now shake hands
00:43:06and come out fighting.
00:43:23And here in the white corner,
00:43:24and here in the white corner,
00:43:25and here in the white corner,
00:43:25and here in the white corner,
00:43:25and here in the white corner,
00:43:25and here in the white corner,
00:43:27and here in the white corner,
00:43:31and here in the white corner,
00:43:47How was this trip, Paul?
00:43:50Just one fight after another.
00:43:52You want the sum total?
00:43:54Thirty stitches, one busted knuckle, two loose teeth.
00:43:59Maybe half a pint of blood.
00:44:02Money, too.
00:44:04Angelo banks it.
00:44:06By the time I look like a real ape, I'll have a bankroll.
00:44:12I don't know if my build-up is good, but it sure is fast.
00:44:16Fans are paying more and more to see me get slugged.
00:44:22Hurt much?
00:44:23Sure it hurts.
00:44:25That's my job, to get hurt.
00:44:28People pay good money to see me get hurt.
00:44:31Maybe get killed.
00:44:34But don't feel sorry for me, Emily.
00:44:37I like this plaster.
00:44:38The patches and the cuts, they help hide my face.
00:44:43Yeah.
00:44:45On me, it looks good.
00:44:48I'm glad I can wear them when I have to meet you.
00:44:59You don't have to wear a mask with me, Paul.
00:45:02I know, but...
00:45:03It makes it easier.
00:45:09You hate what you're doing.
00:45:11I do.
00:45:13It's not even fighting.
00:45:14It's throwing a gorilla into the ring to put on a slaughter fest.
00:45:20But you really want to be a fighter?
00:45:24What else could I do with this?
00:45:32You could change your face.
00:45:36What?
00:45:37Yes.
00:45:39Since it's your face that stands between you and yourself, your real self, change it.
00:45:45How?
00:45:46Plastic surgery.
00:45:48Think of the miracles they did during the war, Paul.
00:45:50Your face would be easy for them.
00:45:53But if I change my face, I have to give up fighting.
00:45:56You'll be giving up what you hate.
00:45:58But I've come quite a ways in the boxing game.
00:46:00You still despise it.
00:46:04It's money.
00:46:05When you never had it before in your life, you just don't go tossing it over.
00:46:10But...
00:46:11But what good is it when you're miserable, hating, and bitter?
00:46:17You know, Paul, you blame every misfortune you've ever had on just one thing.
00:46:21But that one thing is now starting to pay off for me.
00:46:24But in what way?
00:46:25Sure, you're living better.
00:46:28But...
00:46:28But that anger and resentment is still there.
00:46:31Maybe even more so.
00:46:34How will I make a living?
00:46:39We'll work that out.
00:46:42We?
00:46:43Yes, we.
00:46:45You and me.
00:46:48Paul, when you discard that mask, you'll...
00:46:50You'll finally be at peace with yourself.
00:46:53Then the world will see the real, wonderful Paul.
00:47:07You tell me what to do.
00:47:22How are you, Pete?
00:47:24Well, this certainly is an unexpected pleasure.
00:47:29Here, Monk.
00:47:32Thanks, Pete.
00:47:34But the operation was a success.
00:47:37This is a funeral wreath.
00:47:39I know.
00:47:39But when I was...
00:47:41Shopping around, that's all I could find.
00:47:50Uh, thanks again, Pete.
00:47:53But you shouldn't have done it.
00:47:55Say, Father, have you seen Emily?
00:47:58I certainly have.
00:47:59And I'm very glad to hear about you two.
00:48:01She's a fine girl.
00:48:03Her family, they live in Buffalo.
00:48:05They wrote to me inquiring about you.
00:48:07I'm afraid I simply had to tell them the truth.
00:48:11After all, if it wasn't for me,
00:48:13you'd have never known the difference
00:48:14between a right hook and a left jab.
00:48:18One thing about Emily, she's a...
00:48:19I guess you guys have a lot to talk over.
00:48:22I'm shoving.
00:48:23Thanks for everything, Pete.
00:48:25It certainly was considered of you
00:48:26to take time off and come up and see an old buddy.
00:48:29So long, Pete.
00:48:30Bye.
00:48:34I guess I'd better be running along, too.
00:48:36How's the gym coming?
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38More kids coming in every day.
00:48:39Say, Father,
00:48:41in my condition, I can't handle any candy.
00:48:44Why don't you take the box of chocolates along with you?
00:48:47For the gang at the church.
00:48:48Why, it's a good idea.
00:48:49I'm sure they'd appreciate...
00:48:54Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:49:05Hi.
00:49:07Hiya, handsome.
00:49:10Hey.
00:49:11Who punched you pretty?
00:49:14You like?
00:49:16Mm-hmm.
00:49:18Whoever did it sure had the touch.
00:49:20No beef from me.
00:49:22One roll to see if I win you.
00:49:24I'm tough to beat.
00:49:26But it doesn't mean I'm invincible.
00:49:31Invincible.
00:49:33Now, what does that mean?
00:49:40You just found out.
00:49:44Now, what would I do with a fistful of cigars?
00:49:47What else would you like?
00:49:50A box of candy?
00:49:53A package of playing cards?
00:49:58A ball pen.
00:50:02Well, tell me.
00:50:04What else would you like?
00:50:37You're a swell dancer. You're graceful.
00:50:40Why not? The roadwork I do, punching the bag, skipping rope, all that makes me light on my feet.
00:50:46No kidding, Goodwood. You dance as if you're in another world.
00:50:50Maybe that's it.
00:51:02Here it is. I guess I can let myself in.
00:51:06I said myself.
00:51:08Can't I smoke a last cigarette?
00:51:11Okay. The rubber mat says welcome, but don't let it fool you.
00:51:35Say, this is all right.
00:51:42Light it.
00:51:45You really want service.
00:51:47Maybe I rate it.
00:51:51Monk, let's get one thing straight.
00:51:55Every Joe that buys a cigar from me, or rattles the dice in the cup, thinks the date goes with
00:51:59it.
00:52:00I don't. It took me a long time. And a new face.
00:52:05So I went out with you. The date ends on the other side of the door.
00:52:11I don't feel like leaving.
00:52:13Please, I'm a working girl. I need sleep, rest.
00:52:17To hold my job, to make it pay off, I have to be attractive.
00:52:21You mean all this?
00:52:23And the clothes you wear?
00:52:25You win all that across the counter.
00:52:26I can't stop some of my dates from buying me small presents.
00:52:31Like that off-the-shoulder gown we saw tonight in Bergdorf's window.
00:52:35You got it, baby.
00:52:38I guess maybe you can smoke that last cigarette.
00:53:03Angelo, go down to the bank and bring back some scratch, huh?
00:53:07Like how much?
00:53:09Two or three C's.
00:53:12I don't think you've got that much.
00:53:15What do you mean?
00:53:17The way you've been throwing your dough around, you're nearly all tapped out.
00:53:20You're crazy.
00:53:22Since you've been hanging around with June, here's the tab.
00:53:28One evening gown, $250.
00:53:30One stole, $600.
00:53:32Half a dozen pairs of shoesies, $180.
00:53:35Assorted costume jewelry, $200.
00:53:37Sundry items, $580.
00:53:40Everything's going out.
00:53:41Nothing's coming in.
00:53:42Everything for June, nothing for Emily.
00:53:44Not even time.
00:53:45Why don't you mind your own business?
00:53:47Okay.
00:53:50Okay.
00:53:51Where are you going now?
00:53:54I'm going to take five bucks to your mom.
00:53:56And then I'm going to go look for a jog.
00:54:08You haven't said much.
00:54:09I've been watching you watch yourself.
00:54:13I guess the mirror no longer scares you.
00:54:15Not a bit.
00:54:16In fact, it fascinates you like hypnotism.
00:54:19Can't a guy look at himself?
00:54:21Not long enough to pass out into a dream world.
00:54:25What's come over you, Paul?
00:54:27It's been three weeks since I've seen you.
00:54:29And when you do show up, you're late.
00:54:31You're rude.
00:54:33I like the old Paul better.
00:54:34Well, I don't.
00:54:35You proved you don't.
00:54:38We were supposed to make plans.
00:54:40Talk about our future.
00:54:42Give me a little time, Emily.
00:54:44I'll get over this.
00:54:46I don't think so, Paul.
00:54:48I watched you in the hotel lobby, on the street, when we walked.
00:54:52In the restaurant.
00:54:54You've got no thoughts for anyone but yourself.
00:54:57And the way you begged for admiration from the girls.
00:55:00Well, I never had any.
00:55:01Well, from what I hear, you're making up for lost time.
00:55:05Emily, nothing has changed between us.
00:55:08I don't know.
00:55:09Well, I'll prove it to you.
00:55:14Paul.
00:55:14Paul, you still think I look like a...
00:55:17Paul, how could you?
00:55:20Do you think this new face matters to me?
00:55:23Well, you act like it.
00:55:25I don't like you.
00:55:27I don't understand you.
00:55:28Because I'm like any other guy with this girl.
00:55:34Leave me alone.
00:55:40Emily!
00:55:46I don't know.
00:55:47I don't know.
00:55:53I don't know.
00:56:04I don't know.
00:56:24No, Muck.
00:56:25Can't I smoke a last cigarette?
00:56:26I told you, I want to go to sleep.
00:56:28Came over you all of a sudden, huh?
00:56:30Look, Muck, I don't care for hallway scenes, so I'll make this short.
00:56:34Let's say goodnight.
00:56:36And goodbye.
00:56:37Why?
00:56:38You're in way over your head.
00:56:40You can't afford to go out with me.
00:56:42I like nice things, but I don't want them out of your eating.
00:56:45I can get more.
00:56:47I want no part of trouble.
00:56:48Why, you even owe the hotel last month's rent.
00:56:50Ah, that's nothing.
00:56:52Look, Buster, I'm not your bookkeeper.
00:56:55All I'm trying to tell you is that this round's over.
00:56:58We had some fun.
00:56:59I let you break in your new face.
00:57:01And this is it.
00:57:02So is the brush, huh?
00:57:04To go out with you.
00:57:06It just doesn't make sense.
00:57:08And if anything, I'm a sensible girl.
00:57:13We might as well take in your welcome, Matt.
00:57:43What do you want here?
00:57:44I was worried about you.
00:57:48You ran out of me once?
00:57:50Leave it that way.
00:57:53Paul, I want to talk to you.
00:57:56I may be going away.
00:57:59This is no place to talk.
00:58:04Besides, there's nothing to say.
00:58:06Emily's going away to teach.
00:58:08Fine, pal.
00:58:10All you think of is ways to trip me up.
00:58:12Why don't you just butt out of my business?
00:58:14Don't pick on Angelo.
00:58:15I asked him to bring me here.
00:58:17Sure.
00:58:18He was glad to.
00:58:19Anything to prove I'm a no-good guy.
00:58:22You're all right people.
00:58:23Now that I'm broke.
00:58:24You know that doesn't matter to me.
00:58:26We talked about it just before your operation.
00:58:29We were supposed to plan our future together.
00:58:35You promised we'd work it out.
00:58:37Well, it worked out fine.
00:58:39I got a new face, no friends, and I'm broke.
00:58:41Don't beef to Emily.
00:58:42She didn't blow your bankroll.
00:58:43I told you to butt out of this.
00:58:47Get out.
00:58:48Get out, both of you.
00:58:49I don't want to be needling.
00:58:50Get out.
00:58:52I'll take you home.
00:58:53Goodbye, Paul.
00:59:08Say, where's the clerk?
00:59:10You're out of bounds, brother.
00:59:11This isn't the wall dog.
00:59:14You don't happen to know a monk Barone, do you?
00:59:17I did know a monk Barone.
00:59:19Know where I could find him?
00:59:20You're too far uptown.
00:59:22Why don't you try one of those flea traps
00:59:23on the west side of the tracks?
00:59:25All right, I will.
00:59:26Thanks.
00:59:42Hello, monk.
00:59:44How did you find me?
00:59:45That was easy.
00:59:45I just followed a trail of unpaid bills.
00:59:48And those fascinating dames
00:59:49that I was telling you about
00:59:50have begun to crush up.
00:59:52What do you want?
00:59:54Look, you've been avoiding me.
00:59:55What for?
00:59:55I know it isn't your conscience.
00:59:57I don't want to see anybody.
00:59:59Well, I'm going to see you.
01:00:04Well, well, that's pretty.
01:00:05Save the cracks.
01:00:07I had a little accident.
01:00:09That's why you didn't hear from me.
01:00:11When the medic patched me up,
01:00:12you made a few changes.
01:00:14A few changes?
01:00:15I'd say that was the understatement of the season.
01:00:17Well, I vote for it.
01:00:18I don't, monk.
01:00:18For me, the old face was better.
01:00:19Certainly a lot better for fighting.
01:00:21Maybe I ain't fighting anymore.
01:00:23What, give up the ring
01:00:23just when you're ready for the big purses?
01:00:25Monk, when that doctor fixed your face,
01:00:27he certainly didn't help your brain much.
01:00:28I'm giving it up.
01:00:29I'm going to retire.
01:00:30Yeah, retire on what, your clippings?
01:00:33Look, monk, you're just hurting yourself, not us.
01:00:35If a cab loses a fender,
01:00:36the taxi company doesn't go out of business, does it?
01:00:39And for me and my associates,
01:00:40fighting is business.
01:00:41Business that goes on and on.
01:00:43So I quit.
01:00:47No fighter ever quits, monk.
01:00:49Once you lace on a pair of those gloves,
01:00:50you make a lifelong marriage.
01:00:52You never get away from it.
01:00:54When you leave the stadium at night after a fight,
01:00:56who sells you the morning papers?
01:00:58A blind ex-pug.
01:01:01You'll never get away from it.
01:01:02And you're broke now, monk.
01:01:03So I know you'll come running back to me.
01:01:06My advice is to make it soon.
01:01:11My associates haven't got too much patience.
01:01:14They may find themselves another dirty fighter.
01:01:26Come on, champ.
01:01:42All right, monk, let's make it short and sweet.
01:01:45Remember, this is your first comeback fight.
01:01:46Those sports writers out there want plenty of action.
01:01:49Give it to them.
01:01:54Semi-wind-up's on. You're next.
01:02:27All right, let's go, boys.
01:02:31Now, you boys know the rules.
01:02:33I want a nice, clean fight.
01:02:34Keep all your punches in fair territory
01:02:35and break clean when I tell you.
01:02:37Shake hands now and come out fighting at the bell.
01:02:40Hurst!
01:02:42Go, boys!
01:03:18What's come over, Monk?
01:03:20I don't know. He acts like he's been reading Emily Post.
01:03:22Well, they'd better drop his pinky in the next round.
01:03:31I'll whisper in his ear that this is a fight and not a cotillion.
01:03:34Yeah. Tell him we put a bet on a knockoff.
01:03:45I thought he was easy to hit.
01:03:46Well, it was. Looks like he switched his style.
01:03:48Sure did.
01:03:49So box him.
01:03:50So we both box. Where's the action?
01:03:53You want a little softer music this round?
01:03:55All right, you proved you can dance. Now fight.
01:04:23Come on, punch a little bit. Give us some action, will you?
01:04:32Come on, fight.
01:04:47The winner, by unanimous decision, Art Chafee.
01:05:05What kind of a double-cross is this?
01:05:07I start out with a tiger, wind up with a pussycat.
01:05:09From here on in, that's the way I'm fighting.
01:05:11Oh, no, it's not. Not for us or anybody else.
01:05:14I don't need you to play patty cake.
01:05:15If I want this kind of a bout,
01:05:16I can get a better one right out of an old maid's home.
01:05:33Angelo.
01:05:35Let me lug this.
01:05:38I watched you go the distance tonight.
01:05:40The way you fought,
01:05:41you ain't strong enough to carry this gear.
01:05:43I keep my face,
01:05:45and the crowd gets their money's worth booing me.
01:05:48Your face looks all right.
01:05:50Maybe a little on the sad side.
01:05:53Have you seen Emily?
01:05:55Like I told you,
01:05:56she left town to teach you.
01:05:58Have you seen Father Kelly?
01:06:00He'd only ask me about you.
01:06:01What I could tell him,
01:06:02he reads in the sports column.
01:06:06Come on, Angelo.
01:06:08We split a stake,
01:06:10then we split a pool table.
01:06:14I say get rid of him.
01:06:16We lost 10 G's on him last night.
01:06:18My advice is to wait.
01:06:20This boy's in love with his new face.
01:06:22Then cut it up,
01:06:2310 G's worth,
01:06:23and dump him.
01:06:25I still say wait.
01:06:27For what?
01:06:28For a killing,
01:06:29that's for what?
01:06:30What are you driving at?
01:06:32This kid wants to be a cover boy,
01:06:33not a champ.
01:06:34Now, you got him pegged wrong.
01:06:35He's good for a killing.
01:06:36When?
01:06:37Look,
01:06:39let him fight four or five times
01:06:40as a defensive boxer.
01:06:41He'll lose every bout.
01:06:43He'll be outboxed out,
01:06:44clasped,
01:06:44but he'll go from an odds-on favorite
01:06:45to a long shot.
01:06:46The odds will get better and better for us.
01:06:48If there's a payoff.
01:06:50There will be,
01:06:51once he goes back to his old style of fighting.
01:06:53Why one big bout with him as a killer,
01:06:55we're bound to clean up.
01:06:56Say, that's not bad.
01:06:58Not bad at all.
01:07:00How are you going to make him fight his old way,
01:07:02even once?
01:07:03I'll find a way.
01:07:05Well,
01:07:06we'll ride with you.
01:07:08But you're carrying the load from here in.
01:07:11I'll have it.
01:07:12There'd better be a payoff.
01:07:20Okay, teacher.
01:07:22You don't have to draw us a diagram.
01:07:24We take your word for it.
01:07:25But just to keep it friendly,
01:07:27you're going to chip in with us.
01:07:30Doug and I are putting up ten grand apiece,
01:07:32and you're going to put up five grand.
01:07:34Me?
01:07:35Five thousand?
01:07:36Why not?
01:07:37If you're really sold on this operation,
01:07:39you can scrape it up.
01:07:40With Monk going into that fight
01:07:41at odds of seven to two,
01:07:42you shouldn't even stop to think it over.
01:07:46All right.
01:07:47Count me in.
01:07:48Let me tell you one thing, teacher.
01:07:50If something goes wrong,
01:07:52better buy yourself a new blackboard.
01:08:21All right.
01:08:31Why did you have me meet you here?
01:08:33I wanted you to see with your own eyes what they're striving for.
01:08:37They've got big plans, Mike.
01:08:39Plans to help every kid in this neighborhood.
01:08:42Okay.
01:08:43I'll chip in, but I don't want her in to Father Callahan.
01:08:47You want her.
01:08:48He's out trying to raise money.
01:08:51And so is Emily.
01:08:54Who told you about Emily?
01:08:56Muck, for what I'm going to ask you to do, I had to know everything about you.
01:08:59Everything.
01:09:02What do you want?
01:09:11Muck, you've heard me pop off about big shots and heroes before.
01:09:14You know they don't impress me.
01:09:16It's what I'm telling you must come from my heart.
01:09:18Believe me, Muck, you've got a chance to be a big man now.
01:09:21Big where it counts.
01:09:22Big in the eyes of Father Callahan and Emily.
01:09:26What do I have to do?
01:09:28Give them that recreation hall they're campaigning so hard for.
01:09:31They've got their hearts set on it, but they'll never get it with pennies and nickels and dimes.
01:09:35You can give it to them on a silver platter.
01:09:37How?
01:09:40By fighting the Seattle Wildcat the way I tell you.
01:09:45You know how I've been fighting.
01:09:46Yeah, I know.
01:09:47That's going to change.
01:09:48But when this fight and the whole purse goes to St. Dominic's RN too, this is a fair deal.
01:09:54I wouldn't lie to you, you know that.
01:09:56Not here.
01:09:58You fight and I manage.
01:10:00This is for a good cause.
01:10:03Where do you and the syndicate come in?
01:10:05At the odds you'll be fighting at, we'll do very well with side bets.
01:10:13I only think this will square me with Father Callahan and with Emily.
01:10:18I know it will.
01:10:19Why, this is bigger than penance.
01:10:21It's even bigger than lip service.
01:10:23You're saying you're sorry in the only way that counts.
01:10:27I'll vouch for it, Monk.
01:10:29You fight my way and you'll be okay with the Father and Emily.
01:10:34What do you say?
01:10:38I'll vouch for it, Monk.
01:10:46I'm sure everything is okay?
01:10:48You've got the money spread out.
01:10:49Yes, I'm sure.
01:10:50Besides, you've got me for a deposit.
01:10:53Maybe you ought to give him some final instructions.
01:10:56Yeah, well, that kid hates me.
01:10:57I just irritate him.
01:10:58Anyhow, Angelo handles him better.
01:11:03You're up next.
01:11:28I'm sure you're up next.
01:11:38You never wanted me to see him fight.
01:11:41You didn't come here just as a non-looker.
01:11:44You're here to help him with your thoughts and your prayers.
01:11:51Oh, here he comes.
01:12:06This is the main event of the evening.
01:12:10Ten rounds of boxing.
01:12:13In this corner, at 164 and a half pounds,
01:12:18kid, Monk Barone.
01:12:22And in this corner, at 165 pounds,
01:12:27the Seattle Wildcats.
01:12:33The referee, Jack Stoney, and may the best man win.
01:12:41What a good plane to fight. Keep your punches up.
01:12:44Now shake hands and come out fighting.
01:12:59You're here.
01:13:04You're here.
01:13:10You're here.
01:13:12You're here.
01:13:15Now, the referee.
01:13:21Come on.
01:13:22Come on.
01:13:24Come on.
01:13:25Come on.
01:13:26Come on.
01:13:43I've lost it tonight.
01:13:44You wear him down, I tell you.
01:13:46He can't take it anymore.
01:13:48He hits like a bull.
01:13:50Yeah, but every time you nick him in the puss,
01:13:52he's hurt double.
01:13:54Keep after his face.
01:13:58All right, let's go.
01:14:32All right, let's go.
01:14:53He's certainly taking a beating.
01:14:55Yeah, and so are we.
01:14:56If he doesn't come up with a Sunday punch, we lose 20 Gs.
01:14:59He will.
01:15:00He don't know how much that kid wants to spare himself.
01:15:03A knockout will do it.
01:15:23One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
01:15:35One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
01:16:01Come on.
01:16:02Come on.
01:16:02Come on.
01:16:02of the purse. Clean me out too. What are you wanting about? Hadn't been for you, Al and I would
01:16:08never
01:16:08got roped into this mess.
01:16:17Well, at least the loser's end of the purse goes for good cause.
01:16:20That preparation hall at St. Dominic's, that's something. Oh, stop your corny
01:16:24philosophine. Remember what I told you about finding yourself a new blackboard
01:16:28if something went wrong? Something went wrong.
01:16:46Hello, Father.
01:16:56I lost. I lost.
01:17:00No, my boy, you didn't lose. This was not defeat. You're a bigger man for the try, for
01:17:05the sacrifice. The way you fought carries its own victories. Look at the wounds on your
01:17:11face. Don't say you lost.
01:17:16Hello, Paul.
01:17:20Paul, we'll take you home when you're ready. I've heard rumors that the big gamblers lost
01:17:25money betting on you. Well, you fought your fight. And if need be, there's a few good fast
01:17:29rounds left in me. And a hard left jab.
