00:00:00The
00:01:30Don't be long, Pete, will you?
00:01:45Keep your shirt on, slats.
00:01:46I'll be right back.
00:01:51Hello, Riley.
00:01:52Is my wife going on yet?
00:01:53No, you've got plenty of time.
00:01:55I hope you win your fight tonight.
00:01:56I've got a fiver on you.
00:01:57Yeah?
00:01:58Well, when the fight's over, you'll have a tenner.
00:02:00And I'll be the new champion.
00:02:01Oh, right.
00:02:04Okay.
00:02:05Good luck.
00:02:05Thanks.
00:02:08Hi, ma'am.
00:02:09So you remember my name.
00:02:15See, where you've been all this last week?
00:02:17Now, listen, honey.
00:02:18I didn't come up here to argue with you, but I couldn't fight for a championship tonight without a good luck kiss from you.
00:02:23Ah.
00:02:23Come on, come on.
00:02:25Ain't you going to make up?
00:02:28Oh, come on, ma'am.
00:02:29Give us a little kiss, huh?
00:02:32Oh, sure.
00:02:33I'll kiss you.
00:02:34For luck.
00:02:36It's more than you deserve.
00:02:38I know it, ma'am.
00:02:39You're swell.
00:02:39And just as soon as I win the title, I'm going to come rushing right back to your arms.
00:02:43Yeah, I've heard that one before.
00:02:45Oh, no, but this time I mean it.
00:02:46On my way as a gentleman.
00:02:48Well, if you don't, it'll be the last time I'll wait for you.
00:02:51I won't keep you waiting, ma'am.
00:02:53And no blondes.
00:02:54No blondes.
00:02:55If there's any celebrating to be done, we'll do it together.
00:02:58That's a bargain.
00:02:59Now, now I've got to run wrong.
00:03:00But not before I kiss little Joey goodnight.
00:03:01Oh, no.
00:03:02Don't wake him up.
00:03:03I ain't seen a kid in a week.
00:03:04He's got to wish me luck, too, ain't he?
00:03:05Hiya there, Joey.
00:03:08How's my little champ?
00:03:09Look at him, Mom.
00:03:10Ain't he a corker?
00:03:11Leave him alone, Pete.
00:03:12Don't get him excited.
00:03:13Show me how you give him a corkscrew, huh?
00:03:15Huh?
00:03:16Oh, that's a boy.
00:03:18Did you see that?
00:03:19He's a real palooka.
00:03:21Give me a kiss.
00:03:23Well, too bad you can't be at the ringside to see the old massacre.
00:03:28Yeah?
00:03:28Now, be sure you use that corkscrew in the ring.
00:03:32And not to pull corks with.
00:03:34Oh, sure, sure.
00:03:38Pete!
00:03:39Yeah?
00:03:46Good luck.
00:03:48Thanks, ma'am.
00:03:49Hey, Pete, show us your corkscrews.
00:04:08Show us how you're at the mouth, huh?
00:04:09Yeah, come on, Jim.
00:04:10Show us.
00:04:11Come on.
00:04:11All right, little boy.
00:04:13Well, I'll tell you, it's just how it works, see?
00:04:15It all happened in a twinkling of an eye.
00:04:17I catches him coming in, see?
00:04:19And I nails him with the old reliable.
00:04:21Just like this.
00:04:23Oh, it's his baby.
00:04:24I hurt you.
00:04:24Oh, no.
00:04:25Do it again.
00:04:26I love it.
00:04:30Oh, congratulations, Mrs. Jan.
00:04:32What can I do for you?
00:04:33I'm looking for my husband.
00:04:36He just did.
00:04:42Yeah?
00:04:42Tell that to the Marines.
00:04:51She's at the cops.
00:04:52Hello, ma'am.
00:04:55Uh, how, uh, how are you?
00:04:59Nice of you to be so interested.
00:05:01Oh, this is a private party, Mamie.
00:05:03You shut up.
00:05:04Oh, listen, ma'am.
00:05:05Trixie don't mean anything.
00:05:07I'll say she don't.
00:05:09Are you coming away from this place with me tonight?
00:05:12Well, you don't want me to walk on to my pals, do you?
00:05:14Are you coming along with me?
00:05:16Oh, now, listen, honey.
00:05:17Don't fly off the handle.
00:05:19If I walk out of this place without you tonight,
00:05:21I walk out for good.
00:05:23Good.
00:05:24I told you to shut up.
00:05:26Look here, Pete.
00:05:27You're on the wrong road, and you're walking fast.
00:05:30That ain't no way to talk to me, ma'am.
00:05:32I'm the champ.
00:05:33You're the champ, all right.
00:05:36The champ sucker of Broadway.
00:05:38Too bad you didn't get a beating tonight.
00:05:40You won the fight, but you've lost Joey and me.
00:05:45And there's one other thing that I forgot.
00:05:48Ow!
00:05:49She hit me.
00:05:51Ow!
00:05:51He's not the only one in the family who carries a wallop.
00:05:57She's mad at me.
00:06:13I'm in Variety this week, Crystal.
00:06:15In the has-been column.
00:06:16I sort of feels like a has-been myself.
00:06:20Why, Crystal, don't you love the trees and the flowers and the chickens?
00:06:25Say nothing of the roosters.
00:06:27Right now, the only rooster I'd like to see is a black one strutting down Lenox Avenue.
00:06:34Crystal.
00:06:35I've sort of missed the old town, too.
00:06:38I've sort of missed the old town, too.
00:06:39But it's been worth it.
00:06:43Oh, don't!
00:06:45Oh!
00:06:46Huh?
00:06:46Listen.
00:06:47What is it, ma'am?
00:06:48On your way back from the station, I want you to stop and get me a scroll of black thread.
00:06:54Number 60.
00:06:55What color?
00:06:56What black, you muck?
00:06:58Light or dark?
00:07:00I'm going to sell that radio if you keep on repeating them bum jokes.
00:07:04Okay.
00:07:04Number 60, black.
00:07:06Okay.
00:07:09Drive me up, honey.
00:07:09There's a customer.
00:07:10Drive me up to the can.
00:07:11Hop on.
00:07:11Here we go.
00:07:11Yes, ma'am.
00:07:19How much are your eggs?
00:07:21A 32 cents a dozen.
00:07:23Why, they're mighty small eggs for the price you're asking.
00:07:26Yes, ma'am.
00:07:26I know.
00:07:27But you must remember that an egg is a whole day's work for a hen.
00:07:31Well!
00:07:31Joe, you better get those eggs down to the station.
00:07:34Mom will take care of it.
00:07:36Well, what can I do for you, madam?
00:07:38Those are very small eggs for the price you're asking.
00:07:40Well, what do you expect the hens to lay?
00:07:43Watermelon?
00:07:55Hello.
00:07:56Good afternoon, Mrs. Palooka.
00:07:57Any mail?
00:07:58Yeah, a couple of letters for you.
00:08:03Bad news, Mrs. Palooka?
00:08:06No news at all.
00:08:07Just a semi-annual report.
00:08:09We don't see much of Mr. Palooka around these parts, do we?
00:08:14No, and you never will.
00:08:22You better give me that old bike, sir!
00:08:28Well, you're going to hold out on me, huh?
00:08:29It's murder.
00:08:37It's the gallows.
00:08:38What happened?
00:08:40Was I struck by lightning?
00:08:41Pleased to meet you, stranger.
00:08:43Are you hurt?
00:08:44Are you going to give me that money?
00:08:46Ingrave.
00:08:46Throwing me, your manager, out of my own car.
00:08:49Are you going to give me that money?
00:08:50I'm giving you a slight coil of my lip.
00:08:53That's contempt that's browsing over my features, dynamite.
00:08:56Nothing but contempt.
00:08:57It's contempt, isn't it?
00:08:58Yeah.
00:08:59Hey!
00:09:00What's brawn against brains?
00:09:02Mentally, I got you licked, dynamite.
00:09:03Oh, yeah?
00:09:04Now, wait, wait.
00:09:05You can't do that.
00:09:06I can't do what?
00:09:07That.
00:09:08How would you like a good punch in the nose?
00:09:10Oh, I wouldn't like that at all.
00:09:12Nah.
00:09:17Pinch me.
00:09:17I've got hallucinations.
00:09:19I'm sorry, but you made me do it.
00:09:21He's apologizing for his own strength.
00:09:24Never mind him.
00:09:25Say, an idea is bursting through my brain like a bombshell.
00:09:29First, let me introduce myself.
00:09:31I'm Nobby Walsh.
00:09:32I manage fighters.
00:09:34Prize fighters?
00:09:35Right.
00:09:36You just knocked out my best fighter.
00:09:38And that makes me your manager.
00:09:39If you believe in science...
00:09:41You mean you think I can be a fighter?
00:09:43Think?
00:09:44After seeing that right hook of yours knock out Dynamite Wilson?
00:09:48Dynamite Wilson?
00:09:49I can make a great leather pusher out of you.
00:09:52I'm telling you it's in the cards.
00:09:54Meeting me here is no coincidence.
00:09:56It's destiny at the crossroads.
00:09:58What's your name?
00:10:00Joe...
00:10:00It's Teevery.
00:10:04It's confiscation.
00:10:05That's what it is.
00:10:06I'll get him for you.
00:10:07Oh, I'll let him have it.
00:10:10I only made one payment.
00:10:11The finance company will get it anyway.
00:10:13As I was saying...
00:10:15Ain't you listening, Joe?
00:10:16Oh, I've got to get these eggs on the train.
00:10:18Eggs?
00:10:19With a right-hand punch like you got?
00:10:21Sign this contract and you won't never have to look a neg in the face again.
00:10:24I wish I could, but I can't.
00:10:26Now listen to me.
00:10:27You can't turn this down.
00:10:29I'm telling you stuff there's a chance of...
00:10:31Why, it's heart-rending to see a guy like you wasting his talent with pigs and chickens.
00:10:36You're right.
00:10:38I'd sign in a minute, but I got more reasons not to.
00:10:41Well, what are they?
00:10:43Well, there are more reasons.
00:10:46It ain't healthy living in the country.
00:10:48Why, look at me.
00:10:49Raised on gasoline fumes and carbon monoxide.
00:10:52The picture of vigorous vitality.
00:10:54Now, I've always wanted to be a fighter, but...
00:10:58Well, why can't you be?
00:11:00My mom hates anything to do with fighting.
00:11:03On account of, uh...
00:11:04Well, you see, my dad was Pete Palooka.
00:11:08Did you say Palooka?
00:11:09The grand old champ?
00:11:10Yeah, and he was great in his day.
00:11:14Boy, the fortune is smacking us on the head with a champagne bottle.
00:11:18Well launched.
00:11:19Can't you see your name on the billboards?
00:11:21Joke Palooka, the son of the grand old champ.
00:11:25Boy, I'm gonna exploit you.
00:11:26Pops at the headline.
00:11:27Make your champion like your dear old dad.
00:11:30I can see it now.
00:11:31You're in the ring trading punches.
00:11:33The other guy is generous, and he gives you a two-for-one.
00:11:35He clips you on the chin, but I'm undaunted.
00:11:38Then comes a critical moment.
00:11:40The turning point.
00:11:41You lay the rat low.
00:11:42Foul, they cry, but we're triumphant.
00:11:44The referee counts them out.
00:11:47With shouts and cheers, they hail young Joe Palooka, the new champion.
00:11:51What do you mean?
00:11:52Gosh, it was kind of sudden.
00:11:55Sign.
00:11:56Sign on the dotted line.
00:11:58Sign.
00:11:59Sign.
00:12:00Sign.
00:12:01Sign.
00:12:02You'll hear from me.
00:12:04All right, dear.
00:12:05You'll hear from me.
00:12:05I've got the world by the young boy.
00:12:26Well, Joe, what are you doing?
00:12:28Just, uh, hitting that bag.
00:12:32Well, don't you feel well?
00:12:34Oh, I feel fine.
00:12:37Ann, opportunity has knocked at my door.
00:12:39I'm going to be a leather pusher.
00:12:41What?
00:12:42Sure.
00:12:43I'm going to breathe carbon monoxide and gasoline fumes instead of fresh air.
00:12:47What are you talking about?
00:12:48I'm going to the city to be a fighter.
00:12:51I can see my name in lights right now.
00:12:53Joe Palooka, the champion of the world.
00:12:55Just like my dad.
00:12:56You mean you're going to be a prize fighter?
00:12:59Sure, and I know I'm doing right.
00:13:01You know things are bad here on the farm.
00:13:04The only thing that worries me is I can't tell Mom.
00:13:07Oh, you've got to tell her you're going away, Joe.
00:13:09Oh, of course.
00:13:10I don't mean that.
00:13:11I mean I can't tell her I'm going to be a fighter.
00:13:13You know how she feels about that.
00:13:15But I'll tell her after I've made good.
00:13:17And boy, won't she be proud of me.
00:13:19And I will too, Joe.
00:13:20Sure you will.
00:13:22But you've got to promise me you won't tell Mom anything about it.
00:13:24I promise.
00:13:25And you'll wish me luck, won't you?
00:13:27Oh, with all my heart, Joey.
00:13:29And I'll be pulling for you.
00:13:31That'll be swell.
00:13:33Well, when do you intend to leave?
00:13:35Oh, the sooner the better.
00:13:37I wish I were going right now.
00:13:39Well, why so soon?
00:13:41So as I could give you a goodbye kiss.
00:13:45Well, why wait?
00:13:47Huh?
00:13:48Why wait?
00:13:49Oh, well?
00:13:53Oh, Joe.
00:13:54Joe.
00:13:55Time for supper, dear.
00:13:56Come in.
00:13:57Uh-huh.
00:13:58Remember.
00:14:05Oh, come on, Mom.
00:14:07Please say you'll let me go.
00:14:08What is the business of this Mr. Walsh is in?
00:14:13Well, he's in the leather business.
00:14:16What do you know about the leather business?
00:14:19Well, I'm strong.
00:14:21And Mr. Walsh says he can teach me to...
00:14:23Oh, Mom, you've got to let me go.
00:14:27All right, Joe.
00:14:32If you've made up your mind,
00:14:34I don't suppose there's anything I can say or do that'll stop you.
00:14:37Oh, thanks, Mom.
00:14:38Gee, that's fine.
00:14:40Oh, I knew this time would come.
00:14:42And I prepared myself for it.
00:14:44But now that it is here...
00:14:47You don't know how I dread the thought of your leaving.
00:14:52Oh, you mustn't feel that way.
00:14:54I'm not a baby anymore.
00:14:56You are to me, son.
00:15:00You don't know how I shall miss you.
00:15:03And I'll miss you too, Mom.
00:15:06Will you, Joe?
00:15:09Oh, but...
00:15:10I'll make good and then I can get you everything you deserve.
00:15:18Just be a good boy, Joe.
00:15:20That's all I want.
00:15:25Well?
00:15:26Goodbye, Mom.
00:15:28I'm going to make you proud of me.
00:15:30I am proud of you, Joe.
00:15:31And I'm going to stay proud of you.
00:15:33Remember, you're my son, slug.
00:15:35And act accordingly.
00:15:38Bye.
00:15:39Goodbye, Ann.
00:15:41Goodbye, Joe.
00:15:42Over.
00:15:43Over.
00:15:45Goodbye.
00:15:46Goodbye, Joey.
00:15:49Goodbye.
00:15:50All right, Joe.
00:15:52Bye.
00:15:52Bye.
00:15:52Bye.
00:15:52Bye.
00:15:53Bye.
00:15:54Bye.
00:15:54Bye.
00:15:55Bye.
00:15:56How do you feel?
00:15:57Oh, fine.
00:15:58I just had a great big stuff.
00:16:00Now, remember, toy with him like you would a week one.
00:16:03Bye, Annemise Wilson.
00:16:03Kid Levine, you're on.
00:16:05That's us.
00:16:06Oh, gosh, Navi.
00:16:08I feel kind of queer in my knees.
00:16:10The customary stage fright.
00:16:11Every Pemaidona gets in.
00:16:13Forget it.
00:16:13Who, Navi?
00:16:14Forget it and get going.
00:16:16Who?
00:16:17Just a minute.
00:16:17Navi, you.
00:16:19I'll be with you in a minute to see the slaughter of Kid Levine.
00:16:22I'll wait for you, Navi.
00:16:24Go with Whitey.
00:16:25I'll be right with you.
00:16:26Come on, he'll be with you.
00:16:27Go ahead.
00:16:27Go ahead.
00:16:28Who?
00:16:30Dynamite Wilson?
00:16:32What?
00:16:33You're going to sue me, huh?
00:16:37Say, that ain't Dynamite Wilson.
00:16:40Now he's trying to pull another one of his bastards.
00:16:43I'm letting you know that the name of Dynamite Wilson is copyrighted.
00:16:46Hey, double-crossing chiseler.
00:16:48Excuse me, I'm being paid.
00:16:49Never mind the phone.
00:16:50What's on your mind, Rafferty?
00:16:52Listen, I signed Dynamite Wilson.
00:16:54What do you mean by sneaking a substitute in on me?
00:16:56Listen, Rafferty, you got me wrong.
00:16:58This boy ain't no substitute.
00:17:00Why, he knocked out Dynamite Wilson like you and I would swat a fly.
00:17:04I'm telling you, he's sensational.
00:17:05He's got a kick like a mule.
00:17:07He's the biggest thing the ring ever saw.
00:17:10Listen to that, will you?
00:17:11Why, he's slicing Levine to pieces.
00:17:13He's tearing them apart like a heron.
00:17:16Get that sound effect, Rafferty.
00:17:18Am I chuckling.
00:17:19He's rendering that poor Armenian to smithereens.
00:17:24Why is that crowd a-fraughtin' a-fraulin'?
00:17:26I'll tell you.
00:17:27They're hailing a new sensation of the squared circle.
00:17:29Why, Pomeranium is breaking loose.
00:17:31What happened?
00:17:41One punch.
00:17:42Huh.
00:17:43So you had to ask, huh?
00:17:44Am I haunted by misfortune?
00:17:47Does disaster dog my footsteps?
00:17:49Me, with an unbroken record of defeat.
00:17:51All right, I'll take the loser's purse.
00:17:53Fifty dollars.
00:17:54You'll take twenty bucks or nothing.
00:17:56Oh, so you're mercenary, huh?
00:17:57Or is it nothing?
00:17:58I'll take the twenty.
00:18:00I was reaching for the moon.
00:18:02What an eclipse.
00:18:04Eclipse yourself and not mug out of here.
00:18:09A name that's worth a million dollars
00:18:10and he's made out of marshmallows.
00:18:13Mom.
00:18:15Mom.
00:18:18What happened?
00:18:21I lost.
00:18:22You've been peeking.
00:18:24Why didn't you fight like I told you?
00:18:26I did.
00:18:27But after we got started,
00:18:29he whispered to me and told me to take it easy
00:18:31on account of his wife and kids,
00:18:33and then I don't remember anymore.
00:18:36I might have known you'd fall for that old gag.
00:18:39Here's five.
00:18:41That makes me generosity itself.
00:18:44Here's five more, just to ease my conscience.
00:18:47Stick them under the shower,
00:18:48give them a rub, and turn them loose.
00:18:50So long, kid.
00:18:51I'm not sore.
00:18:53Every Napoleon has his water, Lou.
00:18:56Mr. Walsh seems to be disappointed in me.
00:18:59No, he's just mad at the other fella.
00:19:05Well, kid, better luck next time.
00:19:07Uh, who was that, gentleman?
00:19:12That's Mr. Levine.
00:19:14Levine?
00:19:15Yes.
00:19:15The man who knocked you out.
00:19:18Oh, I thought his face looked familiar.
00:19:22I just saw your boy fight.
00:19:23Go ahead.
00:19:24Step on the coin to my wounded spirits.
00:19:26No.
00:19:27The boy's got a lot of color.
00:19:28Yeah, he's got so much color that I'm seeing red.
00:19:30No, no, I mean he tries, and he ain't dangerous.
00:19:33Rub it in.
00:19:34Right now, the boy's on his way back to the farm.
00:19:37I, uh, I thought I might be able to use him.
00:19:39What for?
00:19:40Pitching hay?
00:19:41No, with McSwan.
00:19:43You mean to fight the champ?
00:19:45Sure.
00:19:46I got McSwan on a barnstorming tour.
00:19:48The commissioner insists on a championship fight.
00:19:50And I gotta have a safe setup.
00:19:52Continue.
00:19:53Your words interest me.
00:19:54And you, uh, you know, uh, goodbye, Whitey.
00:19:57Goodbye, Joe.
00:19:58Thanks for everything.
00:19:59That's all right, Joe.
00:20:03Joe, where you going, pal?
00:20:05I don't know.
00:20:06I hate to go back home.
00:20:07You ain't going back home.
00:20:08I just signed you up for another fight.
00:20:11You'll be a sensation.
00:20:12Guess who you're gonna fight.
00:20:13Guess who?
00:20:14Who?
00:20:15The champion, Al McSwan.
00:20:19Well, uh, does he want to fight me?
00:20:21Why, sure.
00:20:23Well, but, Marvy, do you think I'm good enough?
00:20:25A doubt-raiser, huh?
00:20:27Maybe I forgot to tell you a couple of things I know about fighting.
00:20:30Say, leave it to me.
00:20:31I'll make you the Einstein of the squared circle.
00:20:33But remember this.
00:20:35McSwan ain't got no wife and no children either.
00:20:38That a boy.
00:20:39You really gonna fight him?
00:20:41Now you listen to me, Nina.
00:20:43I know McSwan's there.
00:20:44Shh, shh.
00:20:45Oh, he say that he got a fight for you.
00:20:48Shall I take it?
00:20:49Sure, we can use the money.
00:20:50Sure, you need another bracelet anyway.
00:20:52Oh, you're sweet, baby.
00:20:53I'll take that fight.
00:20:54What?
00:20:55Yeah, yeah.
00:20:57Have I what?
00:20:59Sure, I'll be ready to meet any palooka on the 29th.
00:21:03Sure, I've been doing plenty of road work.
00:21:04Hey, Doc.
00:21:06We found some roads you never heard of.
00:21:09My baby is in swell shape.
00:21:12And I can say the same for Nina.
00:21:14All right, good night.
00:21:16Good night, Doc.
00:21:16Good night, so long, so long.
00:21:18Well, baby, it looks like as though I've got to start training.
00:21:20Well, come on, let's go.
00:21:21Let's start.
00:21:23Ready?
00:21:24Ready.
00:21:24Alley-oop.
00:21:24Oh, boy, it's so fun.
00:21:29All right.
00:21:33Hello, Mrs. Palooka.
00:21:34Hello, Anne, dear.
00:21:36I heard from Joe today.
00:21:37So did I.
00:21:38He says he's doing fine working for that fellow.
00:21:41Watch.
00:21:42Ladies and gentlemen, this is WXA broadcasting the news events of the day.
00:21:47In the sporting world, fight fans are looking forward with great interest to the championship
00:21:51bout tonight between Al McSwat and Joe Palooka, the challenger.
00:21:54Joe Palooka is the son of the grand old champ Pete Palooka, since retired, who will long
00:21:59be remembered affectionately by the fans for his famous corkscrew punch.
00:22:03In Narragansett...
00:22:08Anne, did you know about this?
00:22:11Oh, Mrs. Palooka, Joe didn't mean to deceive you, but he didn't want you to know that he
00:22:16was a fighter until he made good.
00:22:17Well, if Joe wants to be a fighter, I won't be able to stop him.
00:22:26He's got his father's blood.
00:22:28But if I had that Joe here tonight, I'd show him who's the fighter in this family.
00:22:32You mustn't say that.
00:22:34Joe's a good boy.
00:22:35Of course he is.
00:22:36And so is his father.
00:22:37Now, fine.
00:22:38A more upstanding guy never lived than Pete Palooka.
00:22:40Well, I mean, until success changed him.
00:22:42But it won't change Joe.
00:22:44I know it won't.
00:22:45Oh, is that so?
00:22:46You don't know these Palookas.
00:22:47I married one.
00:22:49The only thing to save Joe tonight would be if he loses.
00:22:53Don't say that.
00:22:54No.
00:22:56Give me Western Union.
00:22:57That's a funny way of wishing a fella luck.
00:23:16Maybe it's just a typographical error.
00:23:20I'll show her.
00:23:22I'll show everybody.
00:23:24Oh, gee.
00:23:25He nearly hit you.
00:23:26Wait a minute.
00:23:27Save some of that pep for the fight.
00:23:29You'll need us.
00:23:33Where's McSwat there?
00:23:34Where?
00:23:34That whole apartment.
00:23:35Oh, he wasn't there.
00:23:36I looked at his apartment, too.
00:23:37The house of the sellout.
00:23:38Nobody knows where he is.
00:23:39And he should have been here 20 minutes ago.
00:23:42Hello.
00:23:43Give me the Golden Slipper Cafe.
00:23:45And you try to come up with a club and see McSwat there.
00:23:47Okay.
00:23:47And you call up the Lido Club.
00:23:48Okay, boss.
00:23:49Hello.
00:23:50Hello.
00:23:50This is Doc Wise speaking.
00:23:52Is McSwat there?
00:23:53No.
00:23:53McSwat left here an hour ago.
00:23:55McSwat there?
00:23:56McSwat left half an hour ago.
00:23:59McSwat there?
00:24:00McSwat left here 15 minutes ago.
00:24:03Here he comes now, Doc.
00:24:11Hello, Doc.
00:24:12Well, here I got to the camp.
00:24:13Thanks.
00:24:14Thanks to you for showing up for your own fight.
00:24:17What fight?
00:24:17Me and that set up will be like shadow boxing.
00:24:19Come on, baby.
00:24:20You must take a shower.
00:24:21Come on.
00:24:21And you take the air.
00:24:24Okay, growing pain.
00:24:29See if you can sober him up.
00:24:31He's in pretty bad shape, Doc.
00:24:34Maybe I ought to call the fight off.
00:24:35That ain't a bad idea.
00:24:37That settles up.
00:24:37The fight's off.
00:24:38You can't do that.
00:24:39The house is full.
00:24:40If I ain't, I've been cheated.
00:24:44Who is it?
00:24:45It's me, Nobby.
00:24:46The fight's off.
00:24:48What?
00:24:48Look at him.
00:24:50Hiya, Nobby.
00:24:51Don't talk like that, Doc.
00:24:54Can you afford to lose that money?
00:24:56We're only getting 500.
00:24:57And we'll have to use that for doctor bills.
00:24:59And Swat's in no condition to fight.
00:25:01He's in no condition to fight.
00:25:02Say, you should see Palooka.
00:25:04He's so scared, he's fainted.
00:25:05Why, I'm afraid we'll have to carry him into the rink.
00:25:07And I'll do.
00:25:09Certainly.
00:25:10But, Mac, you let him stay a couple of rounds, won't you?
00:25:12Sure, Nobby.
00:25:12Sure.
00:25:13That a boy.
00:25:14Say, you've seen my boy fight.
00:25:15He couldn't hit McSwat with a handful of rice.
00:25:18Come on, be a good guy.
00:25:19Don't call off the fight.
00:25:20Let me make that 500.
00:25:22Go ahead, Doc.
00:25:23I'll knock them all over.
00:25:24All right.
00:25:24Take him to the shower.
00:25:25Atta boy, Doc.
00:25:26But remember, don't you try to double-cross me.
00:25:29Why, Doc, I'm astounded.
00:25:31Your words cut me like a knife.
00:25:32You know my reputation for this integrity.
00:25:35Yeah.
00:25:36That's what worries me.
00:25:38It's a lie.
00:25:41Like that.
00:25:42That's it.
00:25:42Right down there.
00:25:43Am I a general?
00:25:44Am I a mastermind?
00:25:46What happened?
00:25:47Don't ask no questions.
00:25:48You're as good as champion right now.
00:25:50Yeah?
00:25:51Is there anything else you want to tell me before a fight?
00:25:53No.
00:25:54Only remember, this guy ain't got no wife and kids.
00:25:57Oh.
00:25:58He isn't married at all.
00:25:59Right.
00:26:00Right.
00:26:00All right.
00:26:01Everything is set for the big battle.
00:26:03However, if my dope is correct, this fight's going to be just one of those things.
00:26:07Oh, yeah?
00:26:08Well, Mr. Joe ain't no slouch.
00:26:10His pa was me.
00:26:11All fighters and managers gathered around the referee.
00:26:13Shake hands.
00:26:13Come out fighting.
00:26:14Good luck to both of you.
00:26:15Pleased to meet you, Mr. McSwat.
00:26:17Come on, baby.
00:26:22Not too loud in the first round.
00:26:24Don't forget we've got to go places.
00:26:25Okay, honey.
00:26:26All right, kid.
00:26:28Forget that, baby.
00:26:29Sit down.
00:26:43You bowl them over as soon as you can.
00:26:45I'll carry them along for a couple of rounds.
00:26:47Carry them nothing.
00:26:48Knock them out right away.
00:26:49It's all right, Doc.
00:26:51Look at that sucker, will you?
00:26:53Just look them right in the eye.
00:26:54Just look them right in the eye.
00:26:55Here.
00:26:56It's half the battle.
00:26:56Here.
00:26:57Go ahead.
00:26:58Take it.
00:27:02Now, remember, protect your stomach.
00:27:04Sure, sure.
00:27:05I know you're full of booze.
00:27:14I swallowed it.
00:27:17That was about for the first round.
00:27:23Come on, don't heckle that champ, Joe.
00:27:39No.
00:27:40He's got such a nature.
00:27:47Hey, lady, keep your seat.
00:27:50I do, but I want it with my seat.
00:27:52I want to keep it out of my face.
00:27:56It's McSwat who jabs at Palooka.
00:27:58Palooka misses him with a wild ride.
00:27:59Again, McSwat rips her left to the body.
00:28:01Oh, I'll die if he doesn't win.
00:28:03I'll die if he does.
00:28:04I can't listen to anyone.
00:28:12Give it up, Joe.
00:28:13Give it up.
00:28:14I do call it dynamite.
00:28:18Never touch this, Joe.
00:28:19Now, Joe, walk in close.
00:28:20That's another right and left across, and Mr. Palooka is very wobbly, backing back on
00:28:31his heels.
00:28:33You have better start heating the coffee, I'll see.
00:28:35And again, Mr. McSwat rushes in.
00:28:39Now, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat.
00:28:44And again, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat, Mr. McSwat.
00:28:46He's got you for that.
00:28:46Be careful.
00:28:49Up once a minute.
00:28:52Following protect his stomach.
00:28:542, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, McSmarter's out!
00:29:18The winner!
00:29:24I didn't know he was going to be saved!
00:29:27I hit him right in the Le Bonso!
00:29:28Ah, you're so nice!
00:29:49Well, folks, it was a great fight and an even greater surprise.
00:29:52A new champion has been found in the person of Joe Palooka.
00:29:55Fans must all remember the famous Pete Palooka, the new champ's father.
00:29:59You said it, another Palooka champion!
00:30:01Sell you, but my son wouldn't fight!
00:30:03Oh, come on, come on, come on!
00:30:04Come on when I sell you, guys!
00:30:05There you are!
00:30:06I'm going to buy a drink for everybody now!
00:30:08Hey!
00:30:09Listen to me, you hand-eater!
00:30:10Leave my relations out of this!
00:30:12You crossed me!
00:30:14You can't get away with this!
00:30:16That punk of yours won on a fluke!
00:30:18You've got to give me another match!
00:30:19Your fighter lost because you couldn't keep him out of nightclubs!
00:30:23Now, I've got a problem, too!
00:30:25I've got to keep my boy out of the ring!
00:30:27With them words, I'll leave you!
00:30:29Ah, please, Mr. Palooka, will you say something to your public?
00:30:32It's a pleasure!
00:30:33Palooka will be a fighting champ!
00:30:35He'll meet all comers!
00:30:37You are now listening to the voice of Nobby Wallace, the champion's manager!
00:30:41I attribute his success to my strenuous discipline!
00:30:44Palooka will meet all comers in physical combat as frequently as frequently permits!
00:30:49And if frequently don't show up soon enough, we'll go looking for him!
00:30:53Please, please, I want Mr. Palooka to say something to listeners!
00:30:55I rest my case!
00:30:56Please!
00:30:57How are ya, boy?
00:30:58Well, I hardly know what to say, except I hope you all enjoyed the fight as much as
00:31:05I did!
00:31:06And if my ma's listening in, and I hope she is, well, I just want her to understand that
00:31:11I'm following in the footsteps of my dad!
00:31:13Well, if you do, I'll break your neck!
00:31:15And I'd like to say hello to somebody else back home!
00:31:21Hello, Ann!
00:31:22Hello, Joe!
00:31:23Thanks!
00:31:24Oh, and, uh, and Ma, it's kinda cold here in the city!
00:31:29Will you look in a bureau and see if I've got an extra pair of those long woolen under drawers?
00:31:33Goodbye, Ma!
00:31:35Come on, champ!
00:31:36Come on, make room for me!
00:31:37Hello, champ!
00:31:38Oh, you were wonderful!
00:31:39You were marvelous!
00:31:40I congratulate you!
00:31:41I wish you do me the honor to be my guest tonight at the Paradise Club!
00:31:44You see, I work there!
00:31:46I wish you come over and see you!
00:31:48Thanks!
00:31:49Oh, and Ma, it's kinda cold here in the city!
00:31:51Will you look in a bureau and see if I've got an extra pair of those long woolen under drawers?
00:31:52Goodbye, Mom!
00:31:53Come on, Champ!
00:31:54I wish you'd come over and see me!
00:31:55Won't you please?
00:31:56Nobby!
00:31:57Oh, please do!
00:31:58I will make you very happy!
00:31:59Nobby!
00:32:00Oh, please do come!
00:32:01Nobby!
00:32:02Oh, please do come!
00:32:03Nobby!
00:32:04Oh, you're such a sweet boy!
00:32:06I'll be sunny!
00:32:08I'll be sunny!
00:32:09Honey, if all that you...
00:32:10Life could be milk and honey!
00:32:12Honey, it's up to you!
00:32:14Won't you like me a little bit less?
00:32:16And won't you love me a little bit more?
00:32:18If you love me a little bit, love me a little bit more!
00:32:22Won't you like me a little bit less?
00:32:25And won't you love me a little bit more?
00:32:28If you love me a little bit, love me a little bit more!
00:32:32You're energy!
00:32:34Come on, my pieces!
00:32:36Come on, my pebble!
00:32:38But if you love me a little bit, love me a little bit more!
00:32:40Oh, you love me a little bit more!
00:32:41And won't you like me a little bit more?
00:32:44I'm going to love you a little bit more!
00:32:46My skies could all be sunny, sunny before the tree.
00:33:01Life could be milk and honey, honey it's up to you, not me.
00:33:09Kaise, you sing good.
00:33:29I sing good tonight because my heart is full of happiness.
00:33:39I've had it especially made for you.
00:33:45Gosh, thanks.
00:33:49Will you give me the honor of being the first one to dance with the new champion?
00:33:54Sure.
00:33:55It's all right.
00:33:57Get that, Doc.
00:33:57He steals my title and now he's got my girl.
00:33:59Sit down.
00:34:00Don't be a chump.
00:34:01Sit down.
00:34:03You can call me tighter.
00:34:05I like it.
00:34:09Mmm, I love it.
00:34:12The beginning of the end.
00:34:14That dame will change my gold mine into a nickel's worth of pennies.
00:34:17Oh, don't let it worry you, Naube.
00:34:22Gosh, it's getting kind of hot in here, isn't it?
00:34:25Well, would you like to go outside and have a little bit of fresh air?
00:34:30Ain't a bad idea.
00:34:31All right, we can do it.
00:34:32Hey, Walsh.
00:34:39Sit down, fellas.
00:34:40The check will be here in a minute.
00:34:42Listen, you mug, I'm entitled to return match and I'm going to get it.
00:34:45If you do, I hope I faint over your dead body.
00:34:48Well, if I don't, I'll knock over that chump of yours right here.
00:34:51Luca won't not pat on a fluke.
00:34:53He's no more a champ than you're an Indian.
00:34:55I am an Indian.
00:34:56And my name is sitting pretty.
00:34:58Yes, and if I don't get a rematch, you'll be laying pretty.
00:35:03White man can now go scrammy.
00:35:10Mr. Walsh, we're going to take a couple of telegrams.
00:35:12For me?
00:35:12No, for the time.
00:35:13I might as well be nonexistent.
00:35:26Another dame.
00:35:26You telling me?
00:35:28I just unloaded one.
00:35:37That's different.
00:35:38Where's the champ?
00:35:39He just left the joint with that Madeira dame.
00:35:41What?
00:35:41That dame will ruin that kid.
00:35:43Where's my hat?
00:35:44Gurley, my hat.
00:35:45What are you getting excited about?
00:35:46He can't fight anyhow.
00:35:48No, but he can punch.
00:35:49And as soon as he learns how to box, he'll be okay.
00:35:52Maybe you're right.
00:35:53Whitey, I've got to save him from that dame.
00:35:55She's poisoning, champs.
00:35:56How are you going to do it?
00:35:57I'll go on to make for her myself.
00:35:59I'll go to work on her with my small poison at me.
00:36:02And I'll sweep her off her feet with my long eyelashes.
00:36:04I'll be terrific.
00:36:05I'll be a typhoon.
00:36:07Whitey, do me a favor.
00:36:08Call me up at Nina's apartment.
00:36:10What'll I talk about?
00:36:11Talk about a minute.
00:36:12That'll be enough.
00:36:17How do you feel now, sweet?
00:36:19Kind of sleepy.
00:36:21Sleepy?
00:36:22Oh, I'll fix you up right now.
00:36:26Come on.
00:36:26Now, just relax.
00:36:31Now, I'm going to get you a little drink more.
00:36:33Oh, you better not.
00:36:35I'm not used to it.
00:36:36Oh, you get used to that.
00:36:39Well.
00:36:40Here.
00:36:41Put your little feet up here.
00:36:42Oh, I wouldn't.
00:36:43It'll ruin your couch.
00:36:45Oh, never mind.
00:36:46Now, is there anything else I can do for you?
00:36:52You've been so awfully nice to me.
00:36:55I could be nicer.
00:36:58Well, if it's not asking too much.
00:37:01Yes.
00:37:02I would like a cheese sandwich.
00:37:06A cheese sandwich?
00:37:09American cheese.
00:37:10That's the kind I like best.
00:37:12Sometimes I used to eat two or three a day.
00:37:14Oh, you're so cute.
00:37:16Oh, oh, I'm mostly sorry.
00:37:19Oh, my goodness.
00:37:20Oh, you're all wet.
00:37:22You must take a month.
00:37:24Oh, I hardly think it's necessary.
00:37:25Oh, yes, yes.
00:37:26What will happen to me if you've got your phone?
00:37:28Come on, change it.
00:37:29Huh?
00:37:30Can I help you?
00:37:32I'd rather not.
00:37:33Oh, it's nothing.
00:37:34I've had wet pants before.
00:37:36I fell in a river once and I didn't take long.
00:37:44Who is that?
00:37:45It's snobby.
00:37:46I got a cable for Joe.
00:37:48Oh.
00:37:49Where is he?
00:37:50He's in the...
00:37:50I don't think I'll have to take off my pants, Miss Madera.
00:37:54A magician.
00:37:55I underestimated you.
00:37:59Sorry to disturb you, champ.
00:38:00Well, here's a cable from your dad.
00:38:03Oh.
00:38:06Nice homey place you got here.
00:38:11Too bad my mom couldn't have sent me a nice wire like this.
00:38:14Oh, the phone.
00:38:16I'll get it.
00:38:18Phone?
00:38:21Hello?
00:38:22Yes, he's here, Mrs. Palooka.
00:38:24No, no, not Mrs. Palooka.
00:38:26I'm Whitey, Nobby.
00:38:27Whitey, do you remember?
00:38:28You told me to call you up and...
00:38:30Yes, ma'am.
00:38:30I found her, Mrs. Palooka.
00:38:32My mom.
00:38:33I'll send him right back to the hotel.
00:38:36Yes, ma'am.
00:38:38Don't mention it, Mrs. Palooka.
00:38:40No, no, I'm not Mrs. Palooka.
00:38:44Nobby, I'm Whitey.
00:38:45I'm Whitey.
00:38:46You told me to...
00:38:47Good night, Mrs. Palooka.
00:38:50The wagon's going to get that screwball some of these days.
00:38:54My hat, I...
00:38:55Oh, Joe.
00:38:56You both come with me.
00:38:57I want you to meet her.
00:38:59No, Joe.
00:39:00Your mom will want to see you alone.
00:39:01I wouldn't barge in between a mother's love for her son
00:39:03for all the gold in the Arabies.
00:39:06Oh, Joe, must you go?
00:39:07Of course, it's Mom.
00:39:09Oh.
00:39:10Nobby, do me a favor.
00:39:12What is it?
00:39:13Will you stay here and keep Miss Madeira company?
00:39:15Sure, Joe.
00:39:17Oh, thanks, Nobby.
00:39:18That's awfully nice of you.
00:39:21I'm sorry to jump out like this,
00:39:23but you know how it is with a mother.
00:39:31What a face.
00:39:34The brow of a genius.
00:39:36With sharp, chiseling features.
00:39:39And they talk about Barrymore.
00:39:42Scram.
00:39:43Not that.
00:39:45Say it isn't so.
00:39:46Oh, what are you talking about?
00:39:48Let's not waste time on subtleties and idle banter.
00:39:51I'm nuts about you, Nina.
00:39:52You're nuts, all right.
00:39:54Don't talk like that.
00:39:57I can give you love, money, position, everything.
00:40:00Oh, let go of me.
00:40:02You're crazy.
00:40:03I am crazy.
00:40:04Crazy about you.
00:40:05You've got this.
00:40:07You've got that.
00:40:08And boy, you've got those.
00:40:11You're a pip.
00:40:12You've got it.
00:40:13Can't you see you're even making a poet out of me?
00:40:16Me rhyming it with pip.
00:40:18Stop it.
00:40:19You're hurting me.
00:40:20It's only temporary.
00:40:21Each man kills the thing he loves.
00:40:24If I should die tomorrow, I would say this tonight.
00:40:27Take a peek at that profile.
00:40:29Don't that do nothing to you?
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:34That's the ultimate insult.
00:40:36Nina, open the door.
00:40:37That's Max what?
00:40:39My nemesis.
00:40:40If he finds you here, he wipes off the floor with you.
00:40:44You better hide someplace.
00:40:44Where?
00:40:45There.
00:40:48That's the final degradation.
00:40:50Oh, go on.
00:40:51Open the door.
00:40:58I'll break it down.
00:40:59Just a minute, darling.
00:41:01I opened the door in a second, sweet.
00:41:06Hello?
00:41:07Hello, operator.
00:41:08Send the house to take this off right away.
00:41:10Hello, darling.
00:41:17What's the matter, sweet?
00:41:20You look mad.
00:41:21Where is that guy?
00:41:23What guy?
00:41:24I saw you leave the club with Palooka.
00:41:26Why, that's very funny.
00:41:27He hasn't been here.
00:41:28Besides, he don't even know where I live.
00:41:31Now, darling.
00:41:32Can that stuff.
00:41:34I know you're lying.
00:41:36All right.
00:41:36If you think I'm lying, why don't you go and look for yourself?
00:41:38That's just what I'm going to do.
00:41:40All right.
00:41:40Go ahead.
00:41:41Now, darling.
00:41:45Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
00:41:47After the way I love you, you don't even trust me.
00:41:51Oh, baby.
00:41:53What's the trouble, Miss Madeira?
00:41:54Throw this luck out of here.
00:41:56I'm sorry, Mac, but you'll have to get out.
00:41:58Don't be so sorry, boys.
00:41:59I'll be glad to go.
00:42:01I'm going to get out.
00:42:03And so will you when I stop paying the rent.
00:42:07So long, two-timer.
00:42:11You're learning fast, Yokel.
00:42:17Huh?
00:42:21What was Mr. McSwat doing here?
00:42:23Oh, he's just a little jealous because I like you.
00:42:26By the way, how is your mother?
00:42:28Oh, somebody must have been playing a joke on Nobby.
00:42:31She wasn't there.
00:42:32Oh.
00:42:33Where is Nobby?
00:42:34Here's where she belongs.
00:42:35Oh, you wait here for me, and I go and get my wrap,
00:42:37and we go places, huh?
00:42:39Oh, it's getting kind of late.
00:42:41I think I'm...
00:42:41Not for us, darling, Angelo.
00:42:48Good night, funny man.
00:42:50With a big nose.
00:43:07Whitey, it's the name.
00:43:08That's what it is.
00:43:10You know, he thinks more hard than he does of me.
00:43:12And if he don't show up and pose for the meds,
00:43:14they're going to lose a lot of soft dough.
00:43:17Boy, it's funny what a dame will do to a guy in two weeks.
00:43:20He's ungrateful.
00:43:21After me taking him off the farm
00:43:23and using my brain to make him champ.
00:43:26And that's how he reciprocates.
00:43:27It says here that worry kills more people than bullets.
00:43:31What do I care how many bullets get killed?
00:43:33I'm worried about the champ.
00:43:34I thought you were going to bamper with your great personality.
00:43:37I did.
00:43:38And what happened?
00:43:39I wound up in the bathroom.
00:43:43How do you do, gentlemen?
00:43:44Hiya, fellas.
00:43:51It's about time.
00:43:53I've been waiting here an hour.
00:43:54Well, we're here, aren't we?
00:43:55I'm not talking to you.
00:43:57As far as I'm concerned, you can leave right now.
00:43:59Now, wait a minute, Nobby.
00:44:00I don't pose for any ads without Nina.
00:44:03She'll add the feminine touch.
00:44:05She'll add the touch, all right.
00:44:06Uh, Mr. Beluga, the photographer's waiting.
00:44:09Go on, Nina.
00:44:10Wait a minute.
00:44:10It ain't in the contract.
00:44:12Well, put it in, Nobby,
00:44:13because that's the way it's going to be.
00:44:15How do you like that?
00:44:17Will you sign the releases, Mr. Beluga?
00:44:19Uh, Mr. Walsh will attend to that.
00:44:22Mr. Walsh, please.
00:44:24I'll sign reluctantly.
00:44:31Come on, Whitey.
00:44:36Now, give us a little more sex, please.
00:44:42Sex?
00:44:44How about this?
00:44:48Why, it's preposterous.
00:44:50Hold it.
00:44:54That's all, thank you.
00:44:58Won't you make your changes, please?
00:45:00Come on, honey.
00:45:01Everything all right, Nobby?
00:45:04Get me an aspirin.
00:45:05To say that women come from the rib of men.
00:45:08It must be the truth.
00:45:09Because they give me a pain in the neck.
00:45:12Something must be done about this.
00:45:14All right, miss.
00:45:15Now, a nice smile.
00:45:19What kind of a place is this?
00:45:22Hey, look.
00:45:27Now, Miss Madero, you hold the golf bag.
00:45:30Now, champ.
00:45:31Sure it's your form.
00:45:33Form.
00:45:33Allie, that's fine.
00:45:38Hold it.
00:45:40Let's get out of here before they raid the joint.
00:45:45Here's the boys, Nobby.
00:45:47Hello, Nobby.
00:45:51Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:45:56Listen, you mugs.
00:45:57I'm giving you a chance to make some easy money.
00:46:00Well, here it is.
00:46:02All you gotta do is lay down.
00:46:04The first time you get hit.
00:46:06I don't want my boy to hurt his hands.
00:46:09Do you understand?
00:46:12And if any of you guys let Palooka know
00:46:14that these fights ain't on the level,
00:46:16he's gonna feel the wrath of Nobby Walsh.
00:46:19Any rat feelers in the crowd?
00:46:24No.
00:46:27All right.
00:46:28Then we proceed.
00:46:30Cardoni, you fight in Pittsburgh on the 15th.
00:46:33O'Shea, have your boy in Buffalo on the 20th.
00:46:37Patrick, I want you to fight in Detroit on the 26th.
00:46:40Morning edition.
00:46:41Cardoni knocked out.
00:46:43Palooka wins again.
00:46:44Morning edition.
00:46:45Raiders, Reba.
00:46:47Violeta, Reba.
00:46:48Palooka wins again.
00:46:53No powder, Armand.
00:46:55Oui.
00:46:55The hair.
00:46:56Finished, sir.
00:46:57Take care of him, Alphonse.
00:46:58Oui, oui.
00:47:00Thank you, sir.
00:47:01There you are, sir.
00:47:02Pay him, Alphonse.
00:47:03Oui, oui.
00:47:03Your coat, champ.
00:47:06Take it, Alphonse.
00:47:07Oui, oui.
00:47:08Oh, thank you, champ.
00:47:11Oh, a playboy with the rubber band off his poke.
00:47:15Go ahead.
00:47:15Spend your money with Reckless Abundant.
00:47:17Who let you in?
00:47:18Finished.
00:47:19It's been a pleasure to manicure the nails of a champion.
00:47:21Ah, Alphonse.
00:47:22The money.
00:47:23Oui, oui.
00:47:24Hi.
00:47:25There you are.
00:47:26Oh, I can't change ten.
00:47:27Who said anything about change?
00:47:29Oh, thank you, champion.
00:47:30If you want me to come up tonight and give you a polish,
00:47:32why, just call Josephine.
00:47:34Well, not tonight, Josephine.
00:47:37Some other time.
00:47:38Yes.
00:47:40Flowers from the champ?
00:47:41Alphonse.
00:47:42Oui, oui.
00:47:43My colantile.
00:47:45Oui, oui.
00:47:46My coat.
00:47:47Oui, oui.
00:47:48Will you stop oui-weeing all over the jury's?
00:47:51Oui, oui.
00:47:53I give up.
00:47:54Where are you going?
00:47:58Places.
00:47:59I got an offer for personal appearances in Vortifull.
00:48:01I got to talk to you about.
00:48:02Later.
00:48:03But this is important.
00:48:05Gosh, that's going to look swell on Nina.
00:48:08Well, if you ain't the sucker.
00:48:10What do you mean?
00:48:11That dame ain't in love with you.
00:48:13She's in love with the championship.
00:48:14What I do outside the ring is none of your business.
00:48:18This is love, Nobby.
00:48:20You wouldn't understand.
00:48:22I understand, all right.
00:48:23For a dame, you'd bite the hand that yanked you out of the gutter.
00:48:26For a dame, you'd kick a beautiful friendship right in the teeth.
00:48:29You're just putty in a woman's hand.
00:48:31Something to ravish and cast aside.
00:48:33Ah, monsieur is very handsome.
00:48:36Yes.
00:48:37Will you do one thing for me before you go?
00:48:41What is?
00:48:43Kiss me.
00:48:46Kiss him, Alfonso.
00:48:54What's the matter?
00:48:55If I wanted that pressed, I'd have sent it to a tailor.
00:49:00That guy's head's getting so big as I wonder we can get her through that door.
00:49:03Am I sizzling?
00:49:05Am I burning up?
00:49:06And I had to meet a guy like that by accident.
00:49:09What an accident.
00:49:10I'd have been better off if he'd have run over me.
00:49:12He's damned happy.
00:49:13That's what's done it.
00:49:14Oh, he's as screwy as a bulldog's tail.
00:49:17Why, I took him out of the gutter.
00:49:19And he's slipping back there without my help.
00:49:21I made him champ.
00:49:22Even though he's a phony champ.
00:49:24And it's a personal treasure to see him turn on me like this.
00:49:26I know it is.
00:49:27Yeah.
00:49:30Hello.
00:49:32A lady?
00:49:33Fine.
00:49:34That's just dandy.
00:49:36Now what's the matter?
00:49:38Another dame on the way up to see Joe.
00:49:40What is this place?
00:49:41A harem?
00:49:41I don't know.
00:49:42Whitey, you're going to see me as the champion troll roger of all times.
00:49:47Wait till that tomato comes in that door.
00:49:50Watch this technique.
00:49:51Say, you dame's got to stop chasing me.
00:49:58Who are you?
00:49:58Who am I?
00:49:59Whitey, tell her who I am.
00:50:01I'm Nobby Walsh, Joe Palooka's manager.
00:50:03I'm Joe Palooka's mother.
00:50:05Where's Joe?
00:50:07Joe Palooka's mother?
00:50:09Why, the clerk just said a dame was coming up.
00:50:12Yeah, a dame called Maine.
00:50:18Putting on the dog, isn't it?
00:50:22You'll find it different here than down on a farm, Mrs. Palooka.
00:50:26Don't small-town me.
00:50:27I shook a hip-load of beads in this burg while it was still teething.
00:50:31Sit down.
00:50:32And who's the other gentleman?
00:50:37Oh, me?
00:50:38My name is Whitey.
00:50:39I'm Joe's trainer.
00:50:41So I've got you two guys to thank for making Joe a fighter.
00:50:44Don't thank us.
00:50:45No, but don't thank us.
00:50:47I don't.
00:50:48Where is he?
00:50:49He's having dinner with, uh...
00:50:51He's having dinner.
00:50:53Yeah.
00:50:53Yeah, with that Nina dame he's been training around with.
00:50:56I don't let him run around with dames.
00:50:58I don't allow it.
00:50:59He's having dinner with some, uh, some newspaper men.
00:51:03Oh, yeah?
00:51:04Yeah.
00:51:05Well, do you suppose that you could tear him out of their arms long enough to say hello to his mother?
00:51:10Make yourself comfortable, and I'll be back in a jifty.
00:51:13Whitey, entertain Maine, uh, Mrs. Palooka.
00:51:17Right the first time.
00:51:19Okay, Maine.
00:51:23Would you, would you like to read the Police Gazette?
00:51:27Say, I ain't seen one of these things.
00:51:29Since I stopped wearing tights.
00:51:34How long has he been trailing with that Nina dame?
00:51:36Nina?
00:51:37Oh, he hardly knows her.
00:51:40That's interesting.
00:51:41Yeah.
00:51:42He hardly knows her.
00:51:43Yeah, he hardly knows her.
00:51:45Yeah.
00:51:45Your eyes are as bright as diamonds.
00:51:56Not as bright as these diamonds you gave me, darling.
00:51:59Poor little Bracelet.
00:52:00You look so lonely by yourself.
00:52:02I'll give you two more to keep it company.
00:52:04Let go of us here, Nina.
00:52:11Hiya, ma'am.
00:52:12Joe, your ma just blew it to town.
00:52:15Ah, you can't fool me.
00:52:16I know that one.
00:52:17I'm telling you the truth.
00:52:19She's down at the hotel.
00:52:20Now, you know what happened to you the last time you said that.
00:52:24Joe, you're in your cups.
00:52:26What'll your mother say when she sees you planted like a summer bungalow?
00:52:29Ah, we'll drink to my mother.
00:52:31You bet.
00:52:32We'll drink to my mother, the best little mother in the whole world.
00:52:36She calls me son on account of I'm her son.
00:52:40To my mother.
00:52:41To Joe's mother.
00:52:42Joe, let's go, will you?
00:52:44You mean I say you won't drink to my mother?
00:52:46You know I don't drink.
00:52:47What?
00:52:48Okay.
00:52:49To your mother.
00:52:50To my mother.
00:52:51To Joe's mother.
00:52:53Joe, come on, let's go, will you?
00:52:55Sit down, Navi, sit down.
00:52:56Now we drink to my mother.
00:52:57Well, then insult the girl's mother.
00:53:00Joe, your ma is winking.
00:53:01Now, wait a minute here.
00:53:03We're gonna drink to Nina's mother.
00:53:05You bet.
00:53:05To Nina's mother.
00:53:07To my mother.
00:53:11Now we drink to Navi's mother.
00:53:13I didn't know he had a mother.
00:53:15No father.
00:53:16Everybody has got a mother.
00:53:17We'll drink to Navi's mother.
00:53:20To my mother.
00:53:21To your mother.
00:53:22To Navi's mother.
00:53:27Now we'll drink to Mother Hubbard, Mother McCree, and Mother Goose.
00:53:38Hooray!
00:53:38What's that idea?
00:53:40Mother Goose.
00:53:41Say, that makes 12 bottles of champagne and 42 mothers.
00:53:53Why, the sentiment is so beautiful, it makes me want to sing.
00:53:56Oh, don't sing.
00:53:58Oh, please don't sing.
00:53:59You don't know how to sing.
00:54:01Who don't know how to sing?
00:54:02Say, I got a voice like a nightingale.
00:54:05Watch me knock off this cadencer.
00:54:07M is for a million things you gave me.
00:54:12O is for...
00:54:14O is for...
00:54:14Say, wait a minute.
00:54:19I'm Navi Walsh, the champs manager.
00:54:21Navi Walsh, huh?
00:54:22Well, I told you a dozen times before you can't sing in here.
00:54:25Say, when a walsh makes up his mind to sing, he's gonna sing.
00:54:29You rule everything.
00:54:30I'll put the finger on you.
00:54:32Yeah, you'll get...
00:54:32I'll put you on the spot.
00:54:34Now, get out and stay out.
00:54:38Hey, I repeat.
00:54:40When a walsh makes up his mind to sing, he's gonna sing.
00:54:43Scram.
00:54:44Am I right?
00:54:45No.
00:54:45You can be wrong, too.
00:54:47Oh, yeah.
00:54:48I'll give it to you.
00:54:50It's better got any tougher, I'll murder them.
00:54:53That's the boy.
00:54:58Now, now, I will help you.
00:55:02I'll take that coat.
00:55:03Hey, what do you say?
00:55:05Hey, what do you say?
00:55:05I pay for it.
00:55:07Who is it for?
00:55:08This is a public place.
00:55:09Just my mouth.
00:55:10I don't care.
00:55:11I don't care.
00:55:12Let that farmhand bite a fire of a coat.
00:55:14Who's the farmhand?
00:55:15Yo.
00:55:16Listen, you.
00:55:17Drop that coat or I'll drop you.
00:55:19Atta, boys, champ.
00:55:20Let me at him.
00:55:21Let me at him.
00:55:21I'll knock him colder than I did in a race.
00:55:23You're afraid to meet me there?
00:55:24Who says I'm afraid to meet you?
00:55:25Wait a minute.
00:55:26Boys, if you must fight, why not fight for a person?
00:55:28I'll fight him any time, any place, anyway.
00:55:30The sooner the better.
00:55:31It's a bargain.
00:55:32I'll draw up the contacts and I'll send you one tomorrow.
00:55:35Now, give the little lady her rap.
00:55:36Okay.
00:55:36Give me that laugh.
00:55:37Don't you annoy this lady anymore, you understand?
00:55:45This is my girl and I want you to let her alone.
00:55:48I'll see you in the ring.
00:55:49Okay.
00:55:51I guess you told him, honey.
00:55:52Angel, you are a sweet little friend.
00:55:53I told him he couldn't get away with anything.
00:55:55Come on, you beg you out.
00:55:56I hope he'll kill you the next time you seek him.
00:55:58Come on, beg it up.
00:55:59Let's go have him work.
00:55:59It's all right.
00:55:59I'll take care of him.
00:56:01Doc, it worked.
00:56:03You telling me?
00:56:04I'm going to give this story to the newspapers.
00:56:06Come on, kid.
00:56:09Can't sing, huh?
00:56:16I can't sing, huh?
00:56:27Oh, Sean, my man.
00:56:29Oh, Sean.
00:56:33Slide over, sister.
00:56:34You're going to hear some real singing.
00:56:36That's it, baby.
00:56:38Just sit way up.
00:56:42Once upon a time, they sang a bow to your toe.
00:56:46But that was long ago.
00:56:50Then everybody started into boop-boop-ba-doop.
00:56:54They got tired of that, you know.
00:56:56But the tune for you and me is that swingy symphony.
00:57:02What a voice.
00:57:04What a voice.
00:57:05They call it eight.
00:57:08A-dink-a-dee.
00:57:10A-dink-a-doo.
00:57:11A-dink-a-dee.
00:57:13Some, some, some.
00:57:14Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo.
00:57:15Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo.
00:57:17Just a cruise.
00:57:19That hard.
00:57:20Just a cruise.
00:57:22Eight.
00:57:22A-dink-a-dee.
00:57:24A-dink-a-dee.
00:57:26A-dink-a-dee.
00:57:30There's a little bit of Bing Crosby and me.
00:57:34Stay a little cock, huh?
00:57:36Eskimo Bell.
00:57:38Up in Iceland.
00:57:41A-ringin'.

00:57:45paradise.

00:57:50A-dink-a-dee.
00:57:52A-dink-a-doo.
00:57:54A-dink-a-dee.
00:57:58Simply mean ding.
00:58:00A-dink-a-dee.
00:58:01Hey, that'll do.
00:58:02Oh, you'll do that.
00:58:03Get your ink-a-dink-a-doo out of here.
00:58:09Gee, Mom, I wished you'd have telegraphed or something.
00:58:12I'd have met you at the train.
00:58:20What's the matter, son?
00:58:23Oh, nothin'.
00:58:25I...
00:58:26I had to go out last night, and...
00:58:28I didn't get in till kinda late.
00:58:30I know.
00:58:31I put you to bed.
00:58:37You...
00:58:38put me to bed?
00:58:40Mm-hmm.
00:58:42And I've never seen a more thorough, rip-snorting jag
00:58:44since I walked out on your father.
00:58:46Gosh, Mom, I'm...
00:58:49I'm sorry you saw me that way.
00:58:52What a fella has to have some fun.
00:58:54I'm a big shot now, Mom.
00:58:56I'm the champ.
00:58:57You're the champ, all right.
00:58:59Well, I'm not the kid from the sticks anymore.
00:59:01You're right.
00:59:06Oh, gee, Mom.
00:59:07Everything's fine, honest.
00:59:09I'm makin' plenty of dough, and I can do a lot for you.
00:59:11I'm in love with a wonderful girl.
00:59:13Just wait till you see Nina.
00:59:15I know.
00:59:18I've seen her picture.
00:59:19Isn't she a wow?
00:59:23She's a couple of wows.
00:59:30What about Anne?
00:59:31Oh, that's different.
00:59:33That was before I was the champ.
00:59:35I've changed now in a lot of things.
00:59:37Nina's crazy about me.
00:59:39So is Anne crazy about you.
00:59:41Well, Anne was a swell girl back home.
00:59:45Son, Anne's a swell girl anyplace.
00:59:50Oh, maybe it's a good thing for Anne.
00:59:52Now that I'm different, she might not like me anymore.
00:59:58Well, I'm not so stuck on you myself.
01:00:00Well, good morning, Norman.
01:00:01Yeah, but it must be raining somewhere.
01:00:02What's the matter?
01:00:03Explain that before I swoon insensible, before your very eyes.
01:00:06Is that the truth?
01:00:07Yeah, that's true.
01:00:08Well, I'm a monkey's uncle.
01:00:09That's got nothing to do with it.
01:00:10What's true?
01:00:11I hoped it was a tissue of lies.
01:00:12That barricuted that wise, forcing you into a match with McSweat.
01:00:14And you agreeing to it without consulting me, your manager.
01:00:15You may be my manager, but I'm doing the fighting.
01:00:16Listen to that.
01:00:17Say, you boys get along swell.
01:00:18I don't know.
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:20I don't know.
01:00:21I don't know.
01:00:22It must be raining somewhere.
01:00:23What's the matter?
01:00:24Explain that before I swoon insensible, before your very eyes.
01:00:26Is that the truth?
01:00:27Yeah, that's true.
01:00:28Well, I'm a monkey's uncle.
01:00:29That's got nothing to do with it.
01:00:30What's true?
01:00:31I hoped it was a tissue of lies.
01:00:32That barricuted that wise, forcing you into a match with McSweat.
01:00:35And you agreeing to it without consulting me, your manager.
01:00:37You may be my manager, but I'm doing the fighting.
01:00:39Listen to that.
01:00:40Say, you boys get along swell, don't you?
01:00:42You haven't heard nothing.
01:00:43It's mutiny.
01:00:44That's what it is.
01:00:45Mutiny.
01:00:49Hello?
01:00:50Just a moment.
01:00:51It's for you, Mrs. Peluca.
01:00:55Hello?
01:00:57Oh, yes.
01:00:58Send her right up.
01:00:59I've been expecting her.
01:01:04Who was it, Mom?
01:01:05Somebody I've got a lot to say to.
01:01:09You've got to listen to me, Joe.
01:01:10There's more in this than meets the eye.
01:01:12Oh, go get dressed and stop shooting off your face.
01:01:14I don't even wash until you answer to the voice of reason.
01:01:21Oh, come in.
01:01:26How do you do?
01:01:27I'm Nina Madero.
01:01:29Oh, yes?
01:01:30I'm Joe's mother.
01:01:31I was so delighted when you telephoned me this morning and asked me to call.
01:01:36You see, I've been so very anxious to meet you.
01:01:39Sweet, Albu.
01:01:41I've been so anxious to meet you.
01:01:45Won't you sit down?
01:01:50Do you have a cigarette?
01:01:51Oh, no, no, thanks.
01:01:55I never smoke.
01:01:57May I offer you a drink?
01:01:58Oh, no, no, thanks.
01:02:00There's one thing I never touch.
01:02:05I noticed that.
01:02:07I understand that you're in love with my son.
01:02:10Oh, well.
01:02:12He's everything in the world to me.
01:02:14That's why I wanted to see you.
01:02:16I want you to give him up.
01:02:18Oh.
01:02:22But you see, I love him.
01:02:24Now, get this, kid.
01:02:25I know dames like you.
01:02:27I've had a whole row behind me.
01:02:29Why, I don't understand you.
01:02:32Listen to me, you little tramp.
01:02:36You call me a tramp?
01:02:38I call you worse than that.
01:02:40Only I'm a lady.
01:02:41Yeah?
01:02:42Yeah.
01:02:43Now, get this.
01:02:44This boy of mine is good and clean.
01:02:46Something that you've never met before.
01:02:48I've raised him that way and I'm going to keep him that way.
01:02:51If I have to wipe up the floor with you.
01:02:53Well, I love him.
01:02:55And I won't give him up.
01:02:57Can there?
01:02:58I'm on to all the tricks.
01:03:03Now, you get out.
01:03:04All right.
01:03:09I get out.
01:03:11But whether you like it or not, I'm going to see Joe.
01:03:14Because you see, I got what it takes to hold him.
01:03:17Well, you take it out.
01:03:23So you're all set on digging your own grave, huh?
01:03:26On committing professional suicide.
01:03:28Ah, you talk as if I didn't have a chance to win.
01:03:30Joe, I'm going to spill something that I've been concealing from you.
01:03:36You ain't got a chance.
01:03:38Ah, you're crazy.
01:03:39I knocked him out once, didn't I?
01:03:41You think you knocked him out.
01:03:43What really happened, McSweat came into that ring stewed to the gills.
01:03:46You didn't knock him out.
01:03:47He fell down and he couldn't get up.
01:03:49Ah, I don't believe it.
01:03:51What about those other fights?
01:03:53They were all set-ups, hand-picked.
01:03:55I personally paid every one of them to lay down.
01:03:57If I believed that, I'd knock you lopsided.
01:04:01But you're talking about a hooey.
01:04:03I'm the champ.
01:04:05Joe, listen to me. Would I lie to you?
01:04:06Now, you're just wasting your time, Nobby.
01:04:08I'm going to fight McSweat and that's that.
01:04:10You're going to fight McSweat?
01:04:13And my gold mine turns to what?
01:04:15Dust and ashes.
01:04:17Come on, be a regular guy. We're all reporters.
01:04:21We want a story about that fight in the Paradise Club last night.
01:04:24I don't know anything about it.
01:04:26Hey, don't push, will you, brother? Take it easy.
01:04:30Hello, Whitey!
01:04:36How about a story on, uh, Palooka and that Nina Madera day?
01:04:39Hey, he's the champ in.
01:04:40Didn't you hear me tell you it's not this hotel?
01:04:42Yeah, but I'm his father.
01:04:43Pete Palooka?
01:04:44That's right.
01:04:46Sure enough.
01:04:47Hello, Pete. How are you?
01:04:48Okay.
01:04:49Just a moment.
01:04:50Thanks.
01:04:51907.
01:04:52Mr. Palooka to see Mr. Palooka.
01:04:54Who?
01:04:59Send him up.
01:05:00Thanks.
01:05:01Go right up.
01:05:02Sweet 907.
01:05:03Thanks.
01:05:04Say, he used to be a great fighter.
01:05:05Used to be champ.
01:05:06He's kind of down now.
01:05:14Well, maybe we'll both get a shock.
01:05:30Come in.
01:05:31Hiya, ma'am.
01:05:43You remembered the name.
01:05:48I never forgot you.
01:05:49Gee, you're looking swell.
01:05:51You're looking pretty good yourself.
01:05:52You ain't changed a bit.
01:05:53Oh, the same old Blarney, Pete.
01:05:55You've been practicing that a long time.
01:05:57Oh, I changed though.
01:05:58Yeah.
01:05:59Yeah, a lot of water's passed under the bridge.
01:06:01Oh, no.
01:06:02No water ever passed under your bridge.
01:06:04Not while you were able to bend an elbow.
01:06:07Good old ma'am.
01:06:08Still picking on me.
01:06:10Seems like old times.
01:06:12This reunion is kind of sudden, Pete.
01:06:15What's the big idea?
01:06:16Oh, I wanted to see you.
01:06:19And I got a son I wanted to see, too.
01:06:23What a memory.
01:06:25Yeah, I know.
01:06:27Yeah, I was pretty bad dice.
01:06:29I don't blame you for shaking me.
01:06:31But I would like to see Joey, if you don't mind.
01:06:36Well, I guess you got a right to.
01:06:39You're his father.
01:06:40So I've always understood.
01:06:45Where is he?
01:06:46He's in there.
01:06:51We ought to be proud of that, kid.
01:06:54What do you mean, we?
01:07:05Hello, champ.
01:07:07Who is it?
01:07:08Well, I guess we don't have to exactly be introduced.
01:07:11My name's Pete Palooka.
01:07:16Pete Palooka?
01:07:18Yeah.
01:07:19I happen to be your old man.
01:07:26My dad?
01:07:27Kind of tough having to introduce yourself to your own kid.
01:07:28But I guess I deserve it.
01:07:31Well, what do you know about that?
01:07:33Gosh, I'm glad to see you, Dad.
01:07:36Are you, son?
01:07:37Sure, sir.
01:07:38Say, I've been reading a lot about you.
01:07:40Mom's told me a lot about you, too.
01:07:41Yeah, we'll skip that.
01:07:43We just want you to know I'm proud of you, boy.
01:07:45You've done just what I wanted you to do.
01:07:46You won the championship.
01:07:48You're a great fighter.
01:07:50Yeah.
01:07:54There seems to be some argument about that.
01:07:56About what?
01:07:58Well, you see, Dad, I gave McSwat a return match.
01:08:02And my manager says they ain't got a chance.
01:08:03He's crazy.
01:08:05Why, there never was a Palooka that couldn't fight.
01:08:07I've got to win this fight, Dad.
01:08:09You see, there's a girl I'm crazy about, and I've got to win for her.
01:08:13How would you like to have me train you?
01:08:15Would you?
01:08:16Sure.
01:08:18Oh, gee, Dad, that'd be great.
01:08:20Why, say.
01:08:21I'll teach you every trick I ever knew.
01:08:23You'll win the fight, all right, and the girl will be proud to marry you.
01:08:25Just the same as your mother was proud to marry...
01:08:27Well, we'll skip that, too.
01:08:29Gosh, Dad.
01:08:31Oh, it'll be great working with you.
01:08:32Sure.
01:08:34Oh, you don't know how glad I am to see you.
01:08:37You come back just at the right time.
01:08:39It's treason, that's what it is, a caster stroke.
01:08:42Well, what's the matter with you?
01:08:43It's the articles for the fight with McSwat.
01:08:45You don't want him to fight either, do you, Nobbing?
01:08:48Not this particular fight.
01:08:49There's a reason.
01:08:50I've got reasons, too.
01:08:54Gee, what a suck.
01:08:55Come on out here, Dad.
01:08:56Well, we've got more room.
01:08:58Now, show it to me again.
01:08:59Sure.
01:09:00Now, you'll faint with your left, and throw your right.
01:09:01See, and I'll catch you as you're coming in.
01:09:02All righty.
01:09:03Now, look out.
01:09:08Gee.
01:09:09Hey, you see?
01:09:10I think I got it.
01:09:12Hey!
01:09:13Wait a minute.
01:09:14What are you doing to my champ?
01:09:15Oh, Dad, I want you to meet my manager.
01:09:18Nobby Walsh is the name.
01:09:20Glad to know you, Mr. Palooka.
01:09:21Likewise!
01:09:23Gee, Mom.
01:09:24Dad's gonna train me for the fight.
01:09:25Ain't that swell?
01:09:27Oh, yeah.
01:09:28Swell.
01:09:29Say, maybe you can talk Joe out of that match with McSwat.
01:09:31Talk him out of it.
01:09:32With me here to train him?
01:09:33From now on, he listens to me.
01:09:34Well, if you won't protect him, I'll protect him myself.
01:09:37He don't sign this contract.
01:09:39No, you don't, now.
01:09:40I sign it right now.
01:09:42I won't sanctify the match.
01:09:44Now, you wait a minute, Nobby.
01:09:45A Palooka's word is, uh, Palooka's word.
01:09:48Oh!
01:09:54Gee, Mame, this is the kick of a lifetime.
01:09:57I got here just in time.
01:09:59Yeah.
01:10:00Just when I was pounding some sense into Joe's head.
01:10:02You have to come along and put the kibosh on it.
01:10:06Well, I don't understand.
01:10:07The kid's got me to train him now.
01:10:09You want him to win this fight, don't you?
01:10:10I don't want him to fight at all.
01:10:12No, but you see, he's in love with a girl that wants him to win.
01:10:14And I'm gonna help him so we can both dance at his wedding.
01:10:17I don't want him to marry the girl.
01:10:19I want him to get out of the dirty racket.
01:10:23Oh, hold on, Mame.
01:10:24You ain't trying to tell the boy how to live his own life, are you?
01:10:27If he wants to marry, that's his business.
01:10:29And if he wants to fight, that's his business, too.
01:10:31He's got to fight.
01:10:32He can't help it.
01:10:33He's a chip off the old block.
01:10:35You mean a slice off the old ham.
01:10:42I predict the knockout and the foot round, or maybe sooner.
01:10:45With the crown remaining in the brow of Joe Palooka.
01:10:47Look who trained him.
01:10:48Good old Pete Palooka.
01:10:50And look who engineered the job.
01:10:52Now he lost.
01:10:53I want to know to him.
01:10:54Did you get that photographer?
01:10:55Right.
01:10:56Now I ask you gentlemen.
01:10:57Can he lose?
01:10:58How ya, champ?
01:10:59How ya, champ?
01:11:00How ya?
01:11:01Ain't he in the pit?
01:11:02Step right up here.
01:11:03Best amount of manhood.
01:11:07Hundred and sixty on the dot.
01:11:08Will you step back here, champ, so I can get a shot of you and your father?
01:11:10Sure.
01:11:11Come on.
01:11:12Guess one.
01:11:13I'll be there in a minute.
01:11:14Get up here.
01:11:16Hello, sucker.
01:11:20You're five pounds overweight.
01:11:21What are you talking about?
01:11:25Get your foot off there.
01:11:26Trying to collect the forfeit though, hey?
01:11:28Force of habit.
01:11:29For a minute I thought I was standing at Dinty's bar.
01:11:33Okay, McSwat.
01:11:34Boys, will you stand back here for a group shot?
01:11:36Group shot?
01:11:37Certainly, it's in the contract.
01:11:38Hiya, champ.
01:11:39Just line up by the desk, boys.
01:11:40What's the matter, Yokel?
01:11:41Are you scared?
01:11:42Yeah.
01:11:43I'm afraid I'll send you to the hospital.
01:11:45Better save the deal you make on this fight because after tonight you'll be through.
01:11:48My day?
01:11:49We did our fighting in the ring.
01:11:50I wish it was your day so I could fight the both of you.
01:11:52Just idle chatter.
01:11:53Why, you look.
01:11:54I could spot you twenty years and beat you right now.
01:11:56Lay down, Santa Claus.
01:11:57You're a husband.
01:11:58Knock me out, that monkey.
01:11:59I have no time and place for this thing.
01:12:01Save him for me, Dad.
01:12:02Yeah?
01:12:03After tonight, that two-timing dame of yours won't recognize you.
01:12:05Why, you dirty no...
01:12:06Ready?
01:12:10Rats!
01:12:11Don't find him.
01:12:12You're the last one.
01:12:13Yeah!
01:12:14You're the last one!
01:12:15We're the last one!
01:12:16We're the last one!
01:12:17How about you?
01:12:18How about you?
01:12:19How about you?
01:12:20How about you?
01:12:21How about you?
01:12:22You're great.
01:12:23See you later, champ.
01:12:24Okay, Nobby.
01:12:25Any meal?
01:12:26Afternoon, Mr. Wolf.
01:12:27Good afternoon.
01:12:28Here comes Blackie Wolf.
01:12:29What a chiseler.
01:12:30How I'd love to cross him.
01:12:32Why, he's as square as a neg.
01:12:34How long, Blackie?
01:12:35I was just boosting you.
01:12:36Hello, Nobby.
01:12:37You betting on the fights?
01:12:38That's just what I want to see you about.
01:12:40There's a lot of that makes SWAT money going around.
01:12:42You know me, Nobby.
01:12:43I don't bet unless it's a sure thing.
01:12:45Are you positive Palooka will win?
01:12:48Sure.
01:12:49It's a cinch.
01:12:50The old man has been training him.
01:12:51He's in the pink.
01:12:53In fact, it's in the bag.
01:12:55That's all I want to know.
01:12:57You know they're laying eight to five on the champs.
01:12:59You can even lay two to one.
01:13:01And it won't be gambling.
01:13:02It'll be highway robbery.
01:13:03I'm betting 10 G's on him myself.
01:13:0510,000.
01:13:06Well, I'm going down to see Coakley,
01:13:08and I'm going to give him 20 grand to bet for me
01:13:10a two to one on Palooka.
01:13:12And if you hear of anybody that wants to bet on McSwat,
01:13:15send him around and I'll cut you in.
01:13:17Okay, Blackie.
01:13:19See you later.
01:13:20Come on, Slug.
01:13:22Hey, did you bet $10,000 on Palooka?
01:13:29Certainly not.
01:13:30I'm going to bet on McSwat.
01:13:32McSwat?
01:13:33I want you to go around to see Coakley
01:13:35and bet our end of the place on Palooka.
01:13:39To lose.
01:13:40Why, that Blackie Wolf would rub you out for a nickel.
01:13:43You'd better not cross him.
01:13:45For 20 G's, I'd cross the ocean in a paper bag.
01:13:48Get going and place that bet.
01:13:50I hope you know what you're doing.
01:13:52Obey orders.
01:13:55Do I know what I'm doing?
01:14:11There's Joe.
01:14:13Yeah, and there's his father.
01:14:15Oh, I'd love to meet him.
01:14:16He's not the kind of a man you meet every day.
01:14:18What do you mean?
01:14:19Well, I'm his wife.
01:14:20I've only met him once in 20 years.
01:14:25How are you, Nina?
01:14:26Hello, baby.
01:14:27Now, listen.
01:14:28Why, he's a thing.
01:14:29He got a glass chin.
01:14:30Wait a minute.
01:14:31I want to give you a kiss for good luck.
01:14:33And?
01:14:34Want some soda pop?
01:14:39Break it up.
01:14:40Break it up.
01:14:41Go on up there, champ.
01:14:42I want some business.
01:14:43That is my business.
01:14:44Is that so?
01:14:52Ladies and gentlemen.
01:14:54Oh, I've never been surprised by it before.
01:14:56It's exciting, isn't it?
01:14:57Oh, don't you hope he wins?
01:14:59Green?
01:15:00No.
01:15:01I just hope he doesn't get hurt.
01:15:02Introducing the challenger,
01:15:06Earl McDoin.
01:15:14And in this corner,
01:15:16the middleweight champion of the world,
01:15:21Joe Palooka!
01:15:23ValƓnia!
01:15:48Darren Needs, old clunk of yours,
01:15:49gave me a lot of confidence.
01:15:50Remember, son,
01:15:51they ain't never touched a canvas.
01:15:52And ain't going to now.
01:15:53Don't throw that corkscrew till I give you the office.
01:15:55Okay, Dan.
01:16:12Come on, Joe. Finish him in the first round so we can go home early.
01:16:22Joe, give him the one-two.
01:16:29Into our bun, sir.
01:16:32Hey, don't forget who you're betting on.
01:16:36I'm going to deline you.
01:16:38If Palooka loses, I win plenty.
01:16:41But I'll never lift a calypita.
01:16:49Hey, husband.
01:16:50I still wish I had you both in here.
01:17:16And Brown was just by a mile, shall we?
01:17:19I could do better, Dad, if he keeps that left out of my face.
01:17:22You certainly surprised me.
01:17:24You sure learned a lot from your dad.
01:17:26Joe, do what I tell you, eh?
01:17:28Why don't you evaporate?
01:17:30Oh, the pipe down.
01:17:31Keep him off with your left and cross him to your right.
01:17:34That sucker can hit.
01:17:35Are you all right now, Mac?
01:17:36Walk around him, Joe.
01:17:49Keep punching.
01:17:50Keep punching.
01:18:06Keep punching.
01:18:07I tell you, Blackie.
01:18:18Coakley wouldn't lie to me.
01:18:20Hey, listen, you delicate puss.
01:18:31I just heard that you bet all your end of the purse on McSwap.
01:18:35What are you trying to do?
01:18:36Cross me?
01:18:37Hey, don't talk like that.
01:18:39You make me feel kind of stagnated.
01:18:41If I double-close you, could I ever look you in the face again?
01:18:45No.
01:18:46Just as I thought.
01:18:47Come on, Joe.
01:18:48Joe, go.
01:18:48Go it.
01:18:49Joe.
01:18:50There's a guy after my own heart.
01:18:52Yeah, with a big knife.
01:18:53Oh, you speak, Edward.
01:18:55Look out, Joe.
01:18:55Go out.
01:18:56I can't stand any more of this.
01:19:05Let's get out of here.
01:19:13What a punishment.
01:19:15I'm not talking from hunger.
01:19:17Come on, Joe.
01:19:17You see?
01:19:18Joe.
01:19:18No.
01:19:19No, give it up.
01:19:21No, I'm over there, Joe.
01:19:23Take care.
01:19:24Take care.
01:19:25Joe.
01:19:25Let's go.
01:19:38One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, six, seven, seven, eight, one.
01:19:49He's coming around all right. Come on, Shane.
01:20:02Come on, Shane. You're doing great.
01:20:04Don't you believe him, kid?
01:20:05I've got to save you. If I see you're taking any more punishment,
01:20:08I'm going to throw in the towel.
01:20:09Don't you do it, Dad.
01:20:11I'm all right. I can beat him.
01:20:13Keep in close and get to his stomach, do you hear?
01:20:15All right, then, son.
01:20:16Go out and get him.
01:20:17Come on, go get him now, Shane.
01:20:19What do you suppose happened?
01:20:28Well, how should I know?
01:20:31Well, aren't you nervous?
01:20:33No, I always take my exercise this way.
01:20:40Oh, come on, Maxwell. Kill him. Finish him.
01:20:44We all can't go home.
01:20:45You better throw the towel in. He hasn't got a chance.
01:20:52You'll be doing him a favor.
01:20:53I can't. I promised Joey I wouldn't.
01:20:56Stop that question.
01:20:57If you don't throw it in, I will.
01:21:04No, you don't.
01:21:05You ain't going to throw anything in there.
01:21:07Why, you took the words out of my mind.
01:21:09Hey, what do you have to do with it?
01:21:10All right, what do you have to do with it?
01:21:10All right, what do you have to do with it?
01:21:20Give him the money again.
01:21:24So Luke is a champ, eh?
01:21:25He's a real champ.
01:21:26So you joke that punk everything you know, eh?
01:21:28Everything but this.
01:21:30Yeah, who do you think you're hitting?
01:21:32Look out there.
01:21:33Hey, what's the big idea?
01:21:35What's the idea of your hidden idea?
01:21:37Come here, come here.
01:21:39How do you feel? You all right?
01:21:41You're all right.
01:21:43That's all right, I hate him, sir.
01:21:45Hey, look out.
01:21:47Four of your times are perfect.
01:21:49It come to me in a place.
01:21:51You say you hit him so hard he bounced.
01:21:53I couldn't have done it better myself.
01:21:55I never know it was so easy.
01:21:57Joe, you won?
01:21:59Huh?
01:22:01You're still champion?
01:22:03No, Mom. I lost.
01:22:09Congratulations, son.
01:22:11Nobby was right.
01:22:13I'm just a bust.
01:22:15Snap out of it. You put up a great battle.
01:22:17You've got nothing to be ashamed of.
01:22:19But your mother's right. Fighting's a tough racket.
01:22:21You're better off out of it.
01:22:23It took you 30 years to find it out.
01:22:25Are you hurt, Joe?
01:22:27No, Mom. Not much.
01:22:29Joe, this is the happiest moment of my life.
01:22:33Well, Ma'am.
01:22:35You ought to be happy.
01:22:37You got your boy back and it looks like smooth sailing ahead.
01:22:39So I guess I'll shove off.
01:22:41She's waiting for me.
01:22:43What? Another blonde?
01:22:45No, Mary Ann.

01:22:55I'm always looking for something to better meself.
01:22:57You got a proposition to offer?
01:22:59Gee, but you're looking nice, Sam.
01:23:01You look twice as good as you ever did.
01:23:03And I can only see you with one eye.
01:23:05Oh, I...
01:23:07I'm awfully sorry, Joey.
01:23:09Perhaps your sweetheart will bathe it for you.
01:23:11I wish she would.
01:23:13Oh.

01:23:59Dear ex-champ,
01:24:01I am on my way to a hideout.
01:24:03How humiliatin'.
01:24:05I just got through triple-crossing a double-crosser.
01:24:08I hope you won't get sore at me,
01:24:10but I realized you couldn't beat McSwat,
01:24:12so I bet your end of the poise on him.
01:24:16I'm enclosing the winnings.
01:24:18Take it.
01:24:19It's all yours.
01:24:20Your loving ex-manager, Nobby.
01:24:23P.S.
01:24:24Please excuse writing as I'm writing while running.
01:24:45Joe!
01:24:46Well, Nobby, you're old.
01:24:49How are you?
01:24:50Hiya, Smokey!
01:24:51Hey, Mom!
01:24:52Dad!
01:24:53Look who's here!
01:24:54Gee, I'm glad you're doing fine.
01:24:56Oh, I'm doing fair.
01:24:57What are you doing, Nobby?
01:24:58Why, I'm McSwat's manager.
01:25:00No!
01:25:01Yeah!
01:25:02How are you, man?
01:25:03Nobby, how are you?
01:25:04Steve!
01:25:05Hiya, honey!
01:25:07I want you to meet the wife.
01:25:08What?
01:25:09Come, dear.
01:25:10Be careful.
01:25:11Hello, Nina.
01:25:12Oh, hello.
01:25:13Hello, everybody.
01:25:16Hiya, Nina.

01:25:27Say something to Daddy.
01:25:28I had to go China.
01:25:30I had to go.
