gonna get him some horses.

21

I say, "Horses?
You can get horses?"

I can get you anything.

24

lions, tigers."

505
00:19:52,192 --> 00:19:54,242
Mike, I want to talk to you
for a second, seriously.

506
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:57,199
- I didn't do anything.
- No. No, I know. I know.

507
00:20:02,285 --> 00:20:04,195
There's someone
I want you to meet.

508
00:20:04,204 --> 00:20:07,924
Cus D'Amato.
He's a big-time boxing trainer.

509
00:20:07,916 --> 00:20:09,496
He could take you
to the next level.

510
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:13,802
Why? What did I do?

511
00:20:15,006 --> 00:20:17,376
- What do you mean?
- I train with you, man.

512
00:20:17,384 --> 00:20:18,764
BOBBY:
(chuckling) No, Mike.

513
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,100
Look, he trained
Floyd Patterson.

514
00:20:20,095 --> 00:20:21,345
He made him a champion.

515
00:20:21,346 --> 00:20:22,966
He trained José Torres.

516
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:24,966
All right?
Come on, trust me on this.

517
00:20:26,101 --> 00:20:28,601
I'll do better.
I promise.

518
00:20:28,687 --> 00:20:30,017
No, Mike.

519
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:32,515
- Mike, this is a good thing.
- MIKE: Come on, man.

520
00:20:32,524 --> 00:20:35,244
What did I do?
What did I do?

521
00:20:35,235 --> 00:20:36,945
No, Mike, Mike,
you didn't do anything.

522
00:20:36,945 --> 00:20:38,195
Look...

523
00:20:41,991 --> 00:20:43,541
You're gonna be paroled soon.

524
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:46,084
I don't want you going back
to Brownsville,

525
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:47,329
getting into trouble.

526
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:50,957
Mike, I'm doing this for you,
not to you.

527
00:20:52,335 --> 00:20:53,625
All right?

528
00:20:53,712 --> 00:20:56,672
- MIKE: (sniffling)
- BOBBY: Hey, come on, Mike.

529
00:20:56,673 --> 00:20:58,763
Come on, cheer up.
This is good news.

530
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:04,099
Okay.

531

532

00:21:10,729 --> 00:21:12,359

00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:34,092
<i>MIKE:
His golden meal ticket back.</i>

545
00:21:34,169 --> 00:21:35,459
CUS:
Here's the truth.

546
00:21:35,462 --> 00:21:39,882
This is the heavyweight
champion of the world.

547
00:21:39,883 --> 00:21:42,723
I made Floyd Patterson the
youngest champion of the world.

548
00:21:42,719 --> 00:21:44,429
If you listen to me,

549
00:21:44,429 --> 00:21:47,639
I can make you the youngest
champion of all time--

550
00:21:47,724 --> 00:21:51,274
a beast, a terror, a monster.

551
00:21:51,353 --> 00:21:53,193
What do you think about that?

552
00:21:53,188 --> 00:21:56,228
(sighs)
I thought he was a pervert.

553
00:21:56,316 --> 00:21:57,856
Back home, right,
when people say that shit,

554
00:21:57,859 --> 00:21:59,779
they're about
to perv out on you.

555
00:21:59,778 --> 00:22:02,488
I can't believe
you're just 13 years old.

556
00:22:03,531 --> 00:22:04,991
Yes, sir.

557
00:22:05,075 --> 00:22:08,075
CUS: You have
a natural talent, Mike.

558
00:22:08,078 --> 00:22:09,658
You looked splendid.

559
00:22:10,747 --> 00:22:12,117
In time,

560
00:22:12,207 --> 00:22:15,207
you will be the greatest
fighter that has ever lived.

561
00:22:16,753 --> 00:22:17,713
Do you believe that?

562
00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:20,010
I didn't know
what to think about that.

563
00:22:20,090 --> 00:22:22,630
I was honestly just thinking
how I was gonna rob his house.

564
00:22:24,219 --> 00:22:26,469
- I don't know what to say.
- CUS: It's the truth.

565
00:22:26,471 --> 00:22:28,351
Everyone thinks I'm finished.
I'm not finished.

566
00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:29,848
I've been waiting,

567
00:22:29,933 --> 00:22:32,853
and I think you're the one
I've been waiting for.

568
00:22:32,936 --> 00:22:34,726
Now I'm glad I lived
as long as I did.

569
00:22:34,813 --> 00:22:36,313
(both chuckle)

570
00:22:36,398 --> 00:22:40,238
So you up for it?
You gonna work together?

571
00:22:40,235 --> 00:22:41,565
What do you think, Mike?

572
00:22:43,655 --> 00:22:45,065
Are those roses?

573
00:22:45,073 --> 00:22:46,533
What?

574
00:22:46,533 --> 00:22:48,163
Roses.

575
00:22:48,243 --> 00:22:51,663
I never seen them
in real life before...

576
00:22:51,663 --> 00:22:53,463
only on television.

577
00:22:58,044 --> 00:22:59,424
You okay, Mike?

578
00:23:00,755 --> 00:23:01,835
Hey.

579
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:05,594
What you thinking?

580
00:23:08,513 --> 00:23:10,643
I think I'm gonna
be somebody.
