The Incredible Hulk (1978) s01e03 Episode Script
The Final Round
Everybody around here calls me Rocky.
Rocky.
(HULK ROARING) I got another delivery I want you to make.
What are you talking about? Twenty years for transporting heroin.
Do you have to go through with this? Bill Cole's gonna kill him.
This is my big chance to bust into the big leagues.
Go get him! MAN: Come on, Rocky, come on.
(ROARING) Look at that! (ALARM SOUNDING) NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner.
Physician.
Scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(GROWLING) MAN: (ON LOUDSPEAKER) Arriving Wilmington, Delaware on track 15, the Ambassador, coach service from New York and points north.

Where's the rest of it? I don't have anything.
Don't you understand? I just got into town.
Yeah, well, welcome to Wilmington.
Hey, man, you got to come up with some money before my buddy gets mad.
He's one tough dude when he's mad! I am trying to tell you, I don't have anything.
Don't you understand? Show us where you're hiding your money, man, or I'm gonna take it out on your hide! (GROANING) Hey! Hey! You okay? Yeah.

HENRY: Come on, let's get them legs up.

Yeah.
You can't just sit up here.
Now you've got to move.
Now, come on! Everyday there's something to do.
I paid my last $300 for you, and you're just sitting up here.
Take it easy, Tommy.
That ain't no way to fix it.
I know how to fix it! I'll drive into a wall at 60.
That'll fix it! Hey, come on.
Get inside.
Come on.
It ain't gonna start, Rocky.
Give me a shot.
Yeah.
I been working on it two hours.
(CAR ENGINE TURNING OVER) (ENGINE STARTING) Hey, now be nice to her, will you? Save your fighting for the ring, huh? (PATTING CAR) Come on, David.
Let's go check that ear.
Come on.
Tell me if I hurt you.
I ain't seeing so good nowadays, you know.
Yeah, I noticed that eye of yours.
Put some more It's pretty swollen.
You get that in a boxing match, did you? No.
Sparring down at the Olympic.
Oh.
Yeah, that's pretty puffy, isn't it? Yeah, it hurts, too.
Why don't you have it lanced? You know, get rid of the pressure.
Can't afford no doctor right now.
I don't want none of them butchers down at the gym touching me.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
If you'd like, I could do it for you.
(GROANING) I used to be a medic.
Sorry about that.
That's okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, hold this there.
Put your hand on it.
Now keep some pressure on that for a few minutes, okay? How long have you been sparring? (CHUCKLING) Too long.
I'm getting to feel like a punching bag.
Why do you do it? 'Cause I'm gonna be a contender.
Ah.
I mean, I'm really training hard, you know.
Working long hours.
Watching my diet.
I gotta make sure I don't have any of that cholesterol and stuff like that.
Hmm? Well, the doctor says that I got a high blood pressure condition.
Oh, that's great.
That's perfect for a boxer.
Oh, it ain't bad.
I mean, as long as I'm careful about what I put in my body, you know.
I mean, I'm training real hard, because I gotta I gotta be in shape when that big chance comes, you know.
So I could make it.
Like all them other Rockys that made it.
You wanna be a champ, too, huh? Oh, yeah.
If them guys could do it, then I could do it.
See, I wanna be a winner like them someday.
Hey, my eye feels better.
How's your ear? What? I said my eye feels better Hey, you got me there.
(CHUCKLING) Really it It's much better, thank you.
Well Hey, where you going? You ain't got no place to stay, right? And those guys ripped off all your money, right? Yeah, but other than that Oh, but other than that, you're okay, right? (CHUCKLING) Hey, listen.
Why don't you crash here for a couple of days, huh? Oh, no, look, I wouldn't wanna impose No, no, no, no.
Till you get connected.
Maybe I can get you something down at the gym.
What do you say? That would be great.
Thank you very much.
You were a medic, huh? Yeah, that's right.
Where? Well, I was in 104th Light Infantry Division, just outside of Da Nang.
You ever do any physical therapy? Oh, sure.
I don't mean just rubbing and pounding, you know.
I've seen boxers crippled for life by yo-yo's who didn't know what they were doing.
Right pectoralis major, left pectoralis major, right and left deltoid, upper trapezius.
Obliquus externus and the connection between the latissimus dorsi and the crest of ilium is a particularly vulnerable area All right, all right, all right, all right.
We'll give you a shot here for a while.
$85 a week to start with.
I also expect you to keep the place straightened out around here.
And if I so much as smell liquor on your breath, you're out on your can, you got it? Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
(MOANING) You know, you give rubdowns about as well as Rocky fixes cars.
Well, from what I saw yesterday, that's quite a compliment.
Oh, you bet it is.
He's got a magic touch with cars.
Hey, Rocky, you're looking good.
I really feel like I can take on that there Bill Cole, you know.
Hey, come on.
Cole's Cole's a contender.
He's probably gonna take the title.
HENRY: Yeah, but I really feel like Trust me, Rocky, you ain't ready for him yet.
But you keep working hard and one of these days, who knows? Yeah.
Hey, listen, Rocky, I got another delivery I want you to make.
Yeah, well, can't you wait a little bit, Mr.
Sariego? I'm really working up a good sweat, you know what I mean? No, no, no, no.
It has to be made now.
People are waiting.
Hey, David, give me a towel, will you? Thanks.
Oh, Mr.
Sariego.
Yeah? Look, maybe I could deliver whatever it is, and you wouldn't have to interrupt Rocky.
Oh, he don't mind.
Rocky makes all the important deliveries for me.
Hey, that one muscle, what was it? What? You mean this one? Yeah.
Trapezius.
Oh, man, that trapezius feels a lot better now.
(CHUCKLING) Good.
Hey, hey, hey.
Bandages? That's the important delivery? Hey, Benson.
Mind your own business.
Okay? (DOOR CLOSING) All right, the game is on the line because the master is now at work.
(COIN CLINKING) All right! Okay.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, guess who I just seen? Ray Charles? No, man.
The big dude with the black-eye that beat up on us the other night we was trying to score.
Are you sure? Yeah.
I'm sure, man.
He was coming out of the Olympic, and I asked Jerry on the corner.
He said the cat come out of there all the time.
Well, maybe we ought to pay him a visit.
Teach him not to mess with us.
Yeah.
Come on.
Oh, we're gonna get this guy.
Let's get him, what do you say? Excuse me.
Have you seen Henry Welch? Henry Welch? You mean Rocky.
No, I mean Henry.
Yeah, well, he went out to make a delivery a little while ago, but he should be back soon.
Want to sit down and wait for him? Yeah, sure.
Oh, Mary? You must be "the Mary" that I've heard so much about.
I'm David.
Hi, yeah, that's right.
Hi.
He told me you bring lunch to him from the place that you work, uh.
Uh, Romanoff's Romanenkoff's Deli.
Yes.
You bring it every day? If I didn't, he'd starve.
He barely makes enough around here to survive on.
And he has to have a special diet, too, because of his blood pressure.
He told me about that, yeah.
Maybe if I let him go hungry for a while, he'd stop hanging around down here.
I take it this is not your favorite establishment.
No, it is not.
Some of the people here.
Yeah.
That boss of his.
Yeah, he's rather unique, isn't he? He You think he's shady? I just wish Henry would give up the boxing, and get a steady job.
He's so good at fixing cars.
I know.
I saw him.
It's amazing, really.
It seems like all he has to do is put his hands on them and they start working.
He could probably be the first guy to open up a garage and specialize in faith healing.
I don't know, though.
He seems so set on being a fighter.
I don't know, if he really worked at it, might be a winner.
Listen, I love him a lot, but have you ever seen him fight? No.
He may call himself Rocky, but he's only Henry.
There he is.
Henry.
Hi.
I see you met David.
Yeah.
That's the guy I was telling you about.
Yeah.
He's nice.
Listen, Henry, my brother called again, and he said he still really needs a mechanic to help him around the garage.
Hey, Mar, we been through this a dozen times, huh.
Give me a chance to try and be a fighter first.
Okay.
Here's your lunch.
I gotta get back.
Bye, David.
Goodbye, Mary.
Bye.
Hey, are you taking those bandages for a walk? Hey, Rocky? Yeah, coming.
See you later.
Yeah.
Get back to work.
He ain't come out yet, huh? Not yet.
Be patient, brother.
(MAN GRUNTING) What do you think of Rocky's style? Style, huh? Now, you know, I like the Rock a lot.
He'll never be a contender.
I mean, he's got a great body, but he just ain't got it.
Everybody here knows that, but he's such a sweet guy.
Here comes somebody.
Hey, man.
Hey, lookie there who it is.
I see him! I see him! We're gonna double our pleasure.
Hey.
Another delivery? Yeah.
Hey, you really know your stuff, David.
I'm gonna make you my personal therapist when I'm a contender.
Hey, do you like Chinese food? Yeah, I like Chinese.
Well, I gotta pass a Chinese place about a couple of blocks down.
Let's go.
Rocky, where do you take the bag? To a friend of Mr.
Sariego.
And what does he do with it? Sometimes he keeps it, and sometimes I bring it back.
Yeah, well, you ever get curious, wonder what's inside? No.
Did it ever occur to you, it might be just a little bit illegal? Look, I figure it's some kind of gambling bets on fights, you know? Listen, Mr.
Sariego pays me a lot of money and he lets me use the gym anytime I want.
Free.
So, I don't open my mouth.
I don't say nothing.
I don't think you should, neither, you know? I just don't wanna see you get into trouble, that's all.
Hey, I ain't gonna get in no trouble.
Guess again, musclehead.
Hey, I told you guys to lay off, huh? We're hard of hearing.
Is he talking to us? Listen, I'm a professional boxer, and I'm afraid I might hurt one of you guys.
Is that right? We'll just have to take our chances.
Besides, we brought along some reinforcements.
(GRUNTING) (YELLING) Rocky! Come on, let's get the big dude.
(GROWLING) (ROCKY GROANING) Yeah.
How you doing, champ, huh? Teach you to mess with us, man.
(GROWLING) What the (SCREAMING) Where did he come from? (YELLING) (HULK GROWLING) (SCREAMING) What is that thing? Come on, let's get out of here.
Come on! Come on.
Come on.
(WOMAN SCREAMING) (WOMAN SCREAMING) Come on, come on.
Go over the wall.
(HULK ROARING) Come on, let's get out of here.
(ROARING) Come on! Come on! David.
David! (MEOWING) (SCREECHING) HENRY: This ain't easy.
I'm really worried about this, Mr.
Sariego.
You know what I mean? I mean, I spent all night trying to figure out what I ought to do.
Yeah, what did you decide? Well, you been real nice to me, I mean, letting me use the gym and all.
I mean, I don't wanna get you in no trouble, but I mean, heroin's really bad stuff.
I mean, I know a lot of guys who got messed up, you know? Well, I decided not to go to the police or nothing, because of our friendship.
You don't gotta worry, you know.
You're a good man, Rocky.
A good man.
And I know you're gonna be glad to find out that Wilt here and I, we've been feeling the same as you about this garbage.
Yeah? Yeah.
We never wanted to get mixed up in this, but we're in some trouble.
We had to raise some money in a big hurry or else we're dead.
You know, dead.
And Wilt here has his wife and his kid to worry about.
Yeah.
I understand.
Yeah, so we agreed to fence the stuff.
And I wanna tell you, we hated every minute of it.
And we're glad it's over, right, Wilt? Yeah, yeah, sure.
Uh-huh.
And you don't wanna get involved in no more.
Never.
Do you think I want it on my conscience that I messed up some poor kid's life? Course not.
Listen, Rocky, I appreciate your coming in here, giving me a chance to explain and square it with you.
Yeah, well, you didn't wanna do it anyway, right? Right.
Right.
I'll get back to the gym, you know.
Hey, Rocky! There is There's something else.
I've been watching you.
You've been working real hard, huh? Yeah.
I think you're finally ready for that big bout you wanted with Bill Cole.
I think you're ready.
You do, huh? I mean, you're not just saying this just because of the circumstances, are you? Hey, one thing has nothing whatsoever to do with the other.
You can't buy friends, you know? I just wanna see you get the shot at the big time that you've been looking for.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
I really appreciate that, Mr.
Sariego.
I'm gonna put you on the ticket for tonight's match.
Tonight? Unless you don't think you're ready.
(LAUGHING) Hey, no.
I am ready.
I am ready.
Thanks, Mr.
Sariego.
I really appreciate this.
Yeah, I'm sure you do, kid.
Now go on, get out of here.
Yeah.
(CHUCKLING) Yeah.
Hey, David! Yo! Hey, where you been? I couldn't find you last night.
Well, I must've been dazed.
I wandered around all night.
By the time I got back to your place, you were gone.
Rocky Did you see that big creature thing in the alley? No, I didn't.
Oh, he was a big son of a gun.
You should have seen the way he threw those punks all around.
Rocky, Rocky, listen to me.
Did you see what you were carrying in that bag? Yeah, I seen it.
Hey, I got some great news.
I got a match with Big Bill Cole tonight.
What? Yeah, the hotshot contender.
It's gonna be just like in the movies.
I'm finally gonna be on my way.
Yeah.
To jail.
Hey, what are you talking about? About 15 to 20 years for transporting heroin.
Hey, wait a minute.
Believe me, the only chance you've got is going straight to the police.
The only way I have a crack at that title is to box in that match tonight.
Come here.
You see that ring down there? I have waited all my life for a crack at it.
I have trained hard for seven years, so when my chance came, I would be ready for it.
Oh, Rocky, believe me, I know that.
Listen, David, I know Sariego is trying to buy me off.
I was hoping he would.
I also know that heroin's bad stuff, and I ain't gonna let him get away with it.
Then you are going to the police? Yeah, right after the fight.
Rocky, I don't I just don't think you should wait.
You could get in deeper.
But I won't, David.
Look, this is my big chance.
If I go to the police before the fight, that could blow the whole thing.
They could close the place down.
Trust me, will you? Yeah.
Hey, you're gonna be ringside tonight, huh? You'll be my corner man, huh? Yeah.
You really believe you can beat Cole, huh? Hey, if I'm not ready tonight, I ain't never gonna be ready.
See you later.
TOM: Hey, Rocky! There's a guy who wants to meet you.
Tommy! TOM: Yeah! Did you hear? What's that? HENRY: I got it.
You ain't gonna believe this, but I got a match tonight.
I got a match with Bill Cole.
Hey, man, you're kidding.
No, I did it.
We're gonna fight him tonight.
HENRY: Finally getting my big chance.
TOM: Hey, that's great, Rock.
HENRY: Yeah.
Hey, what can I do for you, mister? You a cop or something? No, no.
I'm not a cop.
I'm Jack McGee from The National Register.
Oh.
I heard of you.
You got a pretty good sports section.
We like to think so.
I'm checking out some rumors.
People in the neighborhood said they've seen the Hulk.
Yeah, I seen him.
Hey.
I'm fighting Big Bill Cole tonight.
You know, the contender.
Why don't you come to the fights? You can possibly get two stories, you know.
I'll tell you a little bit about how the Hulk saved my life, and you can watch the fight, so you get all the story on me, you know.
McGEE: Sure.
(HENRY CHATTERING) MARY: David.
Hi, Mary.
Hi.
David, did you hear about the match that Henry's gonna fight? Yeah.
He hasn't got a chance to win.
Well, he seems awfully determined to try.
David, this man, Bill Cole, is a serious fighter.
I've heard the other guys talk about him.
Henry's way out of his league.
Won't you try to talk him out of it? Oh, Mary, I have tried.
Believe me.
Look.
All right, suppose he has a rough time with it, and he loses.
Maybe he'll give up that dream of being a superstar overnight.
I just can't understand why Sariego gave him this match.
Me, neither, but, man, he sure is spreading it all over town.
Look, that's one excited guy.
It's gonna be one injured guy by the time this is all over.
Mary, would you excuse us for a second? Tommy, could you help me move the table? Oh, yeah.
Excuse me.
Tommy.
Yeah.
He's really outclassed, isn't he? Oh, are you kidding? Bill Cole's gonna kill him.
What's wrong? Tommy, has anybody ever really been killed fighting? You mean killed? Yeah.
I don't know.
I've only heard about it happening a couple of times, maybe, and I think the guy had something else wrong with him, anyway.
Oh, it's rare.
I think you're gonna find this real interesting, Bill.
Right in here.
Close that door, Billy.
I called our supplier, and he agreed to help us out.
SARIEGO: Here it is, right here.
What is that stuff? It's an ordinary little drug that we're gonna add to the water that Rocky drinks during the fight.
Is it poison? No.
It's just some natural stuff, but it ain't good for a guy with high blood pressure.
As a matter of fact, if somebody with high blood pressure takes this, and then has too much physical exertion, they have a heart attack.
SARIEGO: Real natural stuff.
It won't leave no trace.
Now, everyone knows that Rocky's way outclassed in a fight with you, right? So, in the middle of the fight, when you're working him over good, and he starts fighting back as hard as he can, the poor guy's gonna croak.
Wilt, you bring Rocky's water bottle in just before the fight.
WILT: Yeah, okay.
I'll fix it then.
And if they have an autopsy, they'll just think that Rocky ate something that didn't agree with him, and that pushed up his high blood pressure.
See, it will all look perfectly natural.
Now, let's go out and mix with the guys before the fight, so nothing looks suspicious.
(DOOR CLOSING) SARIEGO: Hang on, I forgot something.
Hey! What are you doing down here? Very nice, Bill.
Okay.
Okay, tie him up.
Dump him in the storeroom.
After the fight, we'll put him away for good.
Hurry up.
They let the crowd in already.
Which way, man? That way, to the left.
That way.
We can't.
There are people passing by down there.
We can't go back, they're coming through the north door, too.
What are we gonna do? In there.
Give me your handkerchief.
Here, put him down here.
Come on, let's put him in.
Hey, what's that thing? WILT: I don't know.
They use it for some wrestling matches or something.
Wrestling, what for? I don't know! Crazy Charlie Albertine, he makes his entrance in it.
They lower him down into the ring.
It's part of his act.
Hey, do you think you gave him enough chloroform? Even if I didn't, this cage is gonna be way up in the rafters.
And after the fight, we'll take care of him.
Come on.
(CROWD CHATTERING) Hey, hey, pretty, Rock, pretty, pretty.
Hey, you like it, huh? Hey, Wilt, you seen David? He's supposed to be my corner man tonight.
No, no, I ain't seen him.
Wonder what happened to him.
Hey, drifters like him are a dime a dozen.
I'll take care of you, Rock.
Yeah, thanks.
Hey, you're gonna do good tonight, buddy boy.
Yeah.
Is that Rocky's? Yep.
There we go.
All right, now I just give him the water like normal, right? That's right.
That's all you do, and Rocky will do the rest for us.
When he reaches the peak of physical exertion, that's when he'll have the heart attack.
How long you figure it's gonna take him to reach that peak? Against Bill Cole? He won't finish the second round.
Now get out of here.
This is it, Rock.
You nervous? Yeah, I'm nervous.
I'm real nervous.
Don't worry, use it.
It will work for you.
Hurry up, huh, Rock? Yeah, yeah.
I'll be up there in a minute, Wilt.
Hey, Mar.
Hey, do me a favor, huh? Don't call me Henry tonight.
Do you have to go through with this? Bill Cole is such a tough fighter.
Hey, listen to this.
I gotta do it.
This is my big chance to bust into the big leagues.
After tonight I could be a contender.
Hey, this is what I've been dreaming of since I'm a little kid.
And this is my big chance.
I gotta give it a shot.
I gotta.
You understand? You'll be pulling for me, huh? Rocky.
(BELL CLANGING) Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Olympic.

REFEREE: Push away now.
Okay, break away! Break away! (BELL CLANGING) Rocky, don't let him dance around to the left like that, okay? Yeah.
Okay? He's rough.
He's really, really rough.
My heart's beating a mile a minute.
You can take him, Rock.
Come on.
Here you go.
Here you go.
Come on, take a little water.
(MUMBLING) He's a lot tougher than I thought he was.
No, Rock, you can take him.
You can take him.
Here, take some more water.
Here you go.
No! (BELL BUZZING) Okay, you go in there and you tear him up, Rock.
You go get him, all right? Go get him, come on now, Rock.

He's really out of his league! Come on! Rocky! Come on, Rocky! Come on, Rocky! Oh! (GROWLING) (ROARING) (SPECTATORS QUIETING) Good grief! Hey! Look at that! Okay, get out of here.

I want to sign you up for some matches! (SCREAMING) What the hell is that thing? Why is it after us? I don't know, but there's gonna be cops all over this place! Let's get the stuff and get out of here! (HULK ROARING) It's coming up the hall! We'll go out the back way.
Close the door! (HULK ROARING) (SCREAMING) Stay back.
Stay back! He's a killer! Easy! DAVID: Here he comes.
Hey, what happened? Hey, they let me go.
I'm clean.
They exposed Sariego's dope ring and how he conspired to kill me.
Oh, that's great.
That reporter guy, Jack McGee, he got credit for the discovery.
He's gonna come down here now and do a whole story on me.
Oh, yeah, well Where are you going? Well, I have to I have to get to Pittsburgh.
I have a little business there, you know.
I better get at it.
Hey, wait a minute.
You don't have to go now.
Mary's gonna make us a nice dinner tonight.
Oh, well, no, I really would like to stay, (STAMMERING) But I have to go.
Hey, what about What about you? Gonna get back in the ring? No.
I realized it takes a little more than just determination to be a good contender, you know.
I mean, you gotta have a little more, uh, I don't know, killer instinct, talent than I've got.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
I'm glad I tried it.
Could spend the rest of my life trying to figure out whether I got it or not, if I didn't know, you know.
Oh, that's probably true.
Yeah.
It can't always be like in the movies.
Not everybody can be a Rocky.
But you can still be happy.
And I also got an idea.
I figured out something I do have a talent for.
Fixing cars.
I'm gonna call your brother down at the garage and see if I can, you know, if I can help him out.
I think that's a great idea.
So do I.
McGEE: Hey, Rocky! Down here! There's that reporter.
Look, I Look, I really I really do have to get going, but you two take care of each other, okay? Mary.
Rocky.
Henry.
Henry.
Goodbye.
Rocky.
(HULK ROARING) I got another delivery I want you to make.
What are you talking about? Twenty years for transporting heroin.
Do you have to go through with this? Bill Cole's gonna kill him.
This is my big chance to bust into the big leagues.
Go get him! MAN: Come on, Rocky, come on.
(ROARING) Look at that! (ALARM SOUNDING) NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner.
Physician.
Scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(GROWLING) MAN: (ON LOUDSPEAKER) Arriving Wilmington, Delaware on track 15, the Ambassador, coach service from New York and points north.

He's one tough dude when he's mad! I am trying to tell you, I don't have anything.
Don't you understand? Show us where you're hiding your money, man, or I'm gonna take it out on your hide! (GROANING) Hey! Hey! You okay? Yeah.

HENRY: Come on, let's get them legs up.

Yeah.
You can't just sit up here.
Now you've got to move.
Now, come on! Everyday there's something to do.
I paid my last $300 for you, and you're just sitting up here.
Take it easy, Tommy.
That ain't no way to fix it.
I know how to fix it! I'll drive into a wall at 60.
That'll fix it! Hey, come on.
Get inside.
Come on.
It ain't gonna start, Rocky.
Give me a shot.
Yeah.
I been working on it two hours.
(CAR ENGINE TURNING OVER) (ENGINE STARTING) Hey, now be nice to her, will you? Save your fighting for the ring, huh? (PATTING CAR) Come on, David.
Let's go check that ear.
Come on.
Tell me if I hurt you.
I ain't seeing so good nowadays, you know.
Yeah, I noticed that eye of yours.
Put some more It's pretty swollen.
You get that in a boxing match, did you? No.
Sparring down at the Olympic.
Oh.
Yeah, that's pretty puffy, isn't it? Yeah, it hurts, too.
Why don't you have it lanced? You know, get rid of the pressure.
Can't afford no doctor right now.
I don't want none of them butchers down at the gym touching me.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
If you'd like, I could do it for you.
(GROANING) I used to be a medic.
Sorry about that.
That's okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, hold this there.
Put your hand on it.
Now keep some pressure on that for a few minutes, okay? How long have you been sparring? (CHUCKLING) Too long.
I'm getting to feel like a punching bag.
Why do you do it? 'Cause I'm gonna be a contender.
Ah.
I mean, I'm really training hard, you know.
Working long hours.
Watching my diet.
I gotta make sure I don't have any of that cholesterol and stuff like that.
Hmm? Well, the doctor says that I got a high blood pressure condition.
Oh, that's great.
That's perfect for a boxer.
Oh, it ain't bad.
I mean, as long as I'm careful about what I put in my body, you know.
I mean, I'm training real hard, because I gotta I gotta be in shape when that big chance comes, you know.
So I could make it.
Like all them other Rockys that made it.
You wanna be a champ, too, huh? Oh, yeah.
If them guys could do it, then I could do it.
See, I wanna be a winner like them someday.
Hey, my eye feels better.
How's your ear? What? I said my eye feels better Hey, you got me there.
(CHUCKLING) Really it It's much better, thank you.
Well Hey, where you going? You ain't got no place to stay, right? And those guys ripped off all your money, right? Yeah, but other than that Oh, but other than that, you're okay, right? (CHUCKLING) Hey, listen.
Why don't you crash here for a couple of days, huh? Oh, no, look, I wouldn't wanna impose No, no, no, no.
Till you get connected.
Maybe I can get you something down at the gym.
What do you say? That would be great.
Thank you very much.
You were a medic, huh? Yeah, that's right.
Where? Well, I was in 104th Light Infantry Division, just outside of Da Nang.
You ever do any physical therapy? Oh, sure.
I don't mean just rubbing and pounding, you know.
I've seen boxers crippled for life by yo-yo's who didn't know what they were doing.
Right pectoralis major, left pectoralis major, right and left deltoid, upper trapezius.
Obliquus externus and the connection between the latissimus dorsi and the crest of ilium is a particularly vulnerable area All right, all right, all right, all right.
We'll give you a shot here for a while.
$85 a week to start with.
I also expect you to keep the place straightened out around here.
And if I so much as smell liquor on your breath, you're out on your can, you got it? Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
(MOANING) You know, you give rubdowns about as well as Rocky fixes cars.
Well, from what I saw yesterday, that's quite a compliment.
Oh, you bet it is.
He's got a magic touch with cars.
Hey, Rocky, you're looking good.
I really feel like I can take on that there Bill Cole, you know.
Hey, come on.
Cole's Cole's a contender.
He's probably gonna take the title.
HENRY: Yeah, but I really feel like Trust me, Rocky, you ain't ready for him yet.
But you keep working hard and one of these days, who knows? Yeah.
Hey, listen, Rocky, I got another delivery I want you to make.
Yeah, well, can't you wait a little bit, Mr.
Sariego? I'm really working up a good sweat, you know what I mean? No, no, no, no.
It has to be made now.
People are waiting.
Hey, David, give me a towel, will you? Thanks.
Oh, Mr.
Sariego.
Yeah? Look, maybe I could deliver whatever it is, and you wouldn't have to interrupt Rocky.
Oh, he don't mind.
Rocky makes all the important deliveries for me.
Hey, that one muscle, what was it? What? You mean this one? Yeah.
Trapezius.
Oh, man, that trapezius feels a lot better now.
(CHUCKLING) Good.
Hey, hey, hey.
Bandages? That's the important delivery? Hey, Benson.
Mind your own business.
Okay? (DOOR CLOSING) All right, the game is on the line because the master is now at work.
(COIN CLINKING) All right! Okay.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, guess who I just seen? Ray Charles? No, man.
The big dude with the black-eye that beat up on us the other night we was trying to score.
Are you sure? Yeah.
I'm sure, man.
He was coming out of the Olympic, and I asked Jerry on the corner.
He said the cat come out of there all the time.
Well, maybe we ought to pay him a visit.
Teach him not to mess with us.
Yeah.
Come on.
Oh, we're gonna get this guy.
Let's get him, what do you say? Excuse me.
Have you seen Henry Welch? Henry Welch? You mean Rocky.
No, I mean Henry.
Yeah, well, he went out to make a delivery a little while ago, but he should be back soon.
Want to sit down and wait for him? Yeah, sure.
Oh, Mary? You must be "the Mary" that I've heard so much about.
I'm David.
Hi, yeah, that's right.
Hi.
He told me you bring lunch to him from the place that you work, uh.
Uh, Romanoff's Romanenkoff's Deli.
Yes.
You bring it every day? If I didn't, he'd starve.
He barely makes enough around here to survive on.
And he has to have a special diet, too, because of his blood pressure.
He told me about that, yeah.
Maybe if I let him go hungry for a while, he'd stop hanging around down here.
I take it this is not your favorite establishment.
No, it is not.
Some of the people here.
Yeah.
That boss of his.
Yeah, he's rather unique, isn't he? He You think he's shady? I just wish Henry would give up the boxing, and get a steady job.
He's so good at fixing cars.
I know.
I saw him.
It's amazing, really.
It seems like all he has to do is put his hands on them and they start working.
He could probably be the first guy to open up a garage and specialize in faith healing.
I don't know, though.
He seems so set on being a fighter.
I don't know, if he really worked at it, might be a winner.
Listen, I love him a lot, but have you ever seen him fight? No.
He may call himself Rocky, but he's only Henry.
There he is.
Henry.
Hi.
I see you met David.
Yeah.
That's the guy I was telling you about.
Yeah.
He's nice.
Listen, Henry, my brother called again, and he said he still really needs a mechanic to help him around the garage.
Hey, Mar, we been through this a dozen times, huh.
Give me a chance to try and be a fighter first.
Okay.
Here's your lunch.
I gotta get back.
Bye, David.
Goodbye, Mary.
Bye.
Hey, are you taking those bandages for a walk? Hey, Rocky? Yeah, coming.
See you later.
Yeah.
Get back to work.
He ain't come out yet, huh? Not yet.
Be patient, brother.
(MAN GRUNTING) What do you think of Rocky's style? Style, huh? Now, you know, I like the Rock a lot.
He'll never be a contender.
I mean, he's got a great body, but he just ain't got it.
Everybody here knows that, but he's such a sweet guy.
Here comes somebody.
Hey, man.
Hey, lookie there who it is.
I see him! I see him! We're gonna double our pleasure.
Hey.
Another delivery? Yeah.
Hey, you really know your stuff, David.
I'm gonna make you my personal therapist when I'm a contender.
Hey, do you like Chinese food? Yeah, I like Chinese.
Well, I gotta pass a Chinese place about a couple of blocks down.
Let's go.
Rocky, where do you take the bag? To a friend of Mr.
Sariego.
And what does he do with it? Sometimes he keeps it, and sometimes I bring it back.
Yeah, well, you ever get curious, wonder what's inside? No.
Did it ever occur to you, it might be just a little bit illegal? Look, I figure it's some kind of gambling bets on fights, you know? Listen, Mr.
Sariego pays me a lot of money and he lets me use the gym anytime I want.
Free.
So, I don't open my mouth.
I don't say nothing.
I don't think you should, neither, you know? I just don't wanna see you get into trouble, that's all.
Hey, I ain't gonna get in no trouble.
Guess again, musclehead.
Hey, I told you guys to lay off, huh? We're hard of hearing.
Is he talking to us? Listen, I'm a professional boxer, and I'm afraid I might hurt one of you guys.
Is that right? We'll just have to take our chances.
Besides, we brought along some reinforcements.
(GRUNTING) (YELLING) Rocky! Come on, let's get the big dude.
(GROWLING) (ROCKY GROANING) Yeah.
How you doing, champ, huh? Teach you to mess with us, man.
(GROWLING) What the (SCREAMING) Where did he come from? (YELLING) (HULK GROWLING) (SCREAMING) What is that thing? Come on, let's get out of here.
Come on! Come on.
Come on.
(WOMAN SCREAMING) (WOMAN SCREAMING) Come on, come on.
Go over the wall.
(HULK ROARING) Come on, let's get out of here.
(ROARING) Come on! Come on! David.
David! (MEOWING) (SCREECHING) HENRY: This ain't easy.
I'm really worried about this, Mr.
Sariego.
You know what I mean? I mean, I spent all night trying to figure out what I ought to do.
Yeah, what did you decide? Well, you been real nice to me, I mean, letting me use the gym and all.
I mean, I don't wanna get you in no trouble, but I mean, heroin's really bad stuff.
I mean, I know a lot of guys who got messed up, you know? Well, I decided not to go to the police or nothing, because of our friendship.
You don't gotta worry, you know.
You're a good man, Rocky.
A good man.
And I know you're gonna be glad to find out that Wilt here and I, we've been feeling the same as you about this garbage.
Yeah? Yeah.
We never wanted to get mixed up in this, but we're in some trouble.
We had to raise some money in a big hurry or else we're dead.
You know, dead.
And Wilt here has his wife and his kid to worry about.
Yeah.
I understand.
Yeah, so we agreed to fence the stuff.
And I wanna tell you, we hated every minute of it.
And we're glad it's over, right, Wilt? Yeah, yeah, sure.
Uh-huh.
And you don't wanna get involved in no more.
Never.
Do you think I want it on my conscience that I messed up some poor kid's life? Course not.
Listen, Rocky, I appreciate your coming in here, giving me a chance to explain and square it with you.
Yeah, well, you didn't wanna do it anyway, right? Right.
Right.
I'll get back to the gym, you know.
Hey, Rocky! There is There's something else.
I've been watching you.
You've been working real hard, huh? Yeah.
I think you're finally ready for that big bout you wanted with Bill Cole.
I think you're ready.
You do, huh? I mean, you're not just saying this just because of the circumstances, are you? Hey, one thing has nothing whatsoever to do with the other.
You can't buy friends, you know? I just wanna see you get the shot at the big time that you've been looking for.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
I really appreciate that, Mr.
Sariego.
I'm gonna put you on the ticket for tonight's match.
Tonight? Unless you don't think you're ready.
(LAUGHING) Hey, no.
I am ready.
I am ready.
Thanks, Mr.
Sariego.
I really appreciate this.
Yeah, I'm sure you do, kid.
Now go on, get out of here.
Yeah.
(CHUCKLING) Yeah.
Hey, David! Yo! Hey, where you been? I couldn't find you last night.
Well, I must've been dazed.
I wandered around all night.
By the time I got back to your place, you were gone.
Rocky Did you see that big creature thing in the alley? No, I didn't.
Oh, he was a big son of a gun.
You should have seen the way he threw those punks all around.
Rocky, Rocky, listen to me.
Did you see what you were carrying in that bag? Yeah, I seen it.
Hey, I got some great news.
I got a match with Big Bill Cole tonight.
What? Yeah, the hotshot contender.
It's gonna be just like in the movies.
I'm finally gonna be on my way.
Yeah.
To jail.
Hey, what are you talking about? About 15 to 20 years for transporting heroin.
Hey, wait a minute.
Believe me, the only chance you've got is going straight to the police.
The only way I have a crack at that title is to box in that match tonight.
Come here.
You see that ring down there? I have waited all my life for a crack at it.
I have trained hard for seven years, so when my chance came, I would be ready for it.
Oh, Rocky, believe me, I know that.
Listen, David, I know Sariego is trying to buy me off.
I was hoping he would.
I also know that heroin's bad stuff, and I ain't gonna let him get away with it.
Then you are going to the police? Yeah, right after the fight.
Rocky, I don't I just don't think you should wait.
You could get in deeper.
But I won't, David.
Look, this is my big chance.
If I go to the police before the fight, that could blow the whole thing.
They could close the place down.
Trust me, will you? Yeah.
Hey, you're gonna be ringside tonight, huh? You'll be my corner man, huh? Yeah.
You really believe you can beat Cole, huh? Hey, if I'm not ready tonight, I ain't never gonna be ready.
See you later.
TOM: Hey, Rocky! There's a guy who wants to meet you.
Tommy! TOM: Yeah! Did you hear? What's that? HENRY: I got it.
You ain't gonna believe this, but I got a match tonight.
I got a match with Bill Cole.
Hey, man, you're kidding.
No, I did it.
We're gonna fight him tonight.
HENRY: Finally getting my big chance.
TOM: Hey, that's great, Rock.
HENRY: Yeah.
Hey, what can I do for you, mister? You a cop or something? No, no.
I'm not a cop.
I'm Jack McGee from The National Register.
Oh.
I heard of you.
You got a pretty good sports section.
We like to think so.
I'm checking out some rumors.
People in the neighborhood said they've seen the Hulk.
Yeah, I seen him.
Hey.
I'm fighting Big Bill Cole tonight.
You know, the contender.
Why don't you come to the fights? You can possibly get two stories, you know.
I'll tell you a little bit about how the Hulk saved my life, and you can watch the fight, so you get all the story on me, you know.
McGEE: Sure.
(HENRY CHATTERING) MARY: David.
Hi, Mary.
Hi.
David, did you hear about the match that Henry's gonna fight? Yeah.
He hasn't got a chance to win.
Well, he seems awfully determined to try.
David, this man, Bill Cole, is a serious fighter.
I've heard the other guys talk about him.
Henry's way out of his league.
Won't you try to talk him out of it? Oh, Mary, I have tried.
Believe me.
Look.
All right, suppose he has a rough time with it, and he loses.
Maybe he'll give up that dream of being a superstar overnight.
I just can't understand why Sariego gave him this match.
Me, neither, but, man, he sure is spreading it all over town.
Look, that's one excited guy.
It's gonna be one injured guy by the time this is all over.
Mary, would you excuse us for a second? Tommy, could you help me move the table? Oh, yeah.
Excuse me.
Tommy.
Yeah.
He's really outclassed, isn't he? Oh, are you kidding? Bill Cole's gonna kill him.
What's wrong? Tommy, has anybody ever really been killed fighting? You mean killed? Yeah.
I don't know.
I've only heard about it happening a couple of times, maybe, and I think the guy had something else wrong with him, anyway.
Oh, it's rare.
I think you're gonna find this real interesting, Bill.
Right in here.
Close that door, Billy.
I called our supplier, and he agreed to help us out.
SARIEGO: Here it is, right here.
What is that stuff? It's an ordinary little drug that we're gonna add to the water that Rocky drinks during the fight.
Is it poison? No.
It's just some natural stuff, but it ain't good for a guy with high blood pressure.
As a matter of fact, if somebody with high blood pressure takes this, and then has too much physical exertion, they have a heart attack.
SARIEGO: Real natural stuff.
It won't leave no trace.
Now, everyone knows that Rocky's way outclassed in a fight with you, right? So, in the middle of the fight, when you're working him over good, and he starts fighting back as hard as he can, the poor guy's gonna croak.
Wilt, you bring Rocky's water bottle in just before the fight.
WILT: Yeah, okay.
I'll fix it then.
And if they have an autopsy, they'll just think that Rocky ate something that didn't agree with him, and that pushed up his high blood pressure.
See, it will all look perfectly natural.
Now, let's go out and mix with the guys before the fight, so nothing looks suspicious.
(DOOR CLOSING) SARIEGO: Hang on, I forgot something.
Hey! What are you doing down here? Very nice, Bill.
Okay.
Okay, tie him up.
Dump him in the storeroom.
After the fight, we'll put him away for good.
Hurry up.
They let the crowd in already.
Which way, man? That way, to the left.
That way.
We can't.
There are people passing by down there.
We can't go back, they're coming through the north door, too.
What are we gonna do? In there.
Give me your handkerchief.
Here, put him down here.
Come on, let's put him in.
Hey, what's that thing? WILT: I don't know.
They use it for some wrestling matches or something.
Wrestling, what for? I don't know! Crazy Charlie Albertine, he makes his entrance in it.
They lower him down into the ring.
It's part of his act.
Hey, do you think you gave him enough chloroform? Even if I didn't, this cage is gonna be way up in the rafters.
And after the fight, we'll take care of him.
Come on.
(CROWD CHATTERING) Hey, hey, pretty, Rock, pretty, pretty.
Hey, you like it, huh? Hey, Wilt, you seen David? He's supposed to be my corner man tonight.
No, no, I ain't seen him.
Wonder what happened to him.
Hey, drifters like him are a dime a dozen.
I'll take care of you, Rock.
Yeah, thanks.
Hey, you're gonna do good tonight, buddy boy.
Yeah.
Is that Rocky's? Yep.
There we go.
All right, now I just give him the water like normal, right? That's right.
That's all you do, and Rocky will do the rest for us.
When he reaches the peak of physical exertion, that's when he'll have the heart attack.
How long you figure it's gonna take him to reach that peak? Against Bill Cole? He won't finish the second round.
Now get out of here.
This is it, Rock.
You nervous? Yeah, I'm nervous.
I'm real nervous.
Don't worry, use it.
It will work for you.
Hurry up, huh, Rock? Yeah, yeah.
I'll be up there in a minute, Wilt.
Hey, Mar.
Hey, do me a favor, huh? Don't call me Henry tonight.
Do you have to go through with this? Bill Cole is such a tough fighter.
Hey, listen to this.
I gotta do it.
This is my big chance to bust into the big leagues.
After tonight I could be a contender.
Hey, this is what I've been dreaming of since I'm a little kid.
And this is my big chance.
I gotta give it a shot.
I gotta.
You understand? You'll be pulling for me, huh? Rocky.

Close the door! (HULK ROARING) (SCREAMING) Stay back.
Stay back! He's a killer! Easy! DAVID: Here he comes.
Hey, what happened? Hey, they let me go.
I'm clean.
They exposed Sariego's dope ring and how he conspired to kill me.
Oh, that's great.
That reporter guy, Jack McGee, he got credit for the discovery.
He's gonna come down here now and do a whole story on me.
Oh, yeah, well Where are you going? Well, I have to I have to get to Pittsburgh.
I have a little business there, you know.
I better get at it.
Hey, wait a minute.
You don't have to go now.
Mary's gonna make us a nice dinner tonight.
Oh, well, no, I really would like to stay, (STAMMERING) But I have to go.
Hey, what about What about you? Gonna get back in the ring? No.
I realized it takes a little more than just determination to be a good contender, you know.
I mean, you gotta have a little more, uh, I don't know, killer instinct, talent than I've got.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
I'm glad I tried it.
Could spend the rest of my life trying to figure out whether I got it or not, if I didn't know, you know.
Oh, that's probably true.
Yeah.
It can't always be like in the movies.
Not everybody can be a Rocky.
But you can still be happy.
And I also got an idea.
I figured out something I do have a talent for.
Fixing cars.
I'm gonna call your brother down at the garage and see if I can, you know, if I can help him out.
I think that's a great idea.
So do I.
McGEE: Hey, Rocky! Down here! There's that reporter.
Look, I Look, I really I really do have to get going, but you two take care of each other, okay? Mary.
Rocky.
Henry.
Henry.
Goodbye.
