And look where it got me, the hole. You did pretty well as Rocky Graziano too. I needed the scratch. I would have done anything.

And maybe, just maybe, you might have learned enough.

Even clown around in the ring. Six KO's, not bad clowning. All right, look, sergeant, all my life I been fighting.

A fine babysitter you are. Hi.

And all my life I been getting in trouble from it. I don't want no more trouble. Just leave me alone. I don't wanna fight, with gloves, without gloves. I just don't wanna fight, okay? Sure. Here. Sit down. Come on, sit down. Rocky, I'm gonna level with you. I wasn't thinking about the morale of the men. I was thinking about myself. You see, the boxing squad is the colonel's pride and joy. I can do myself a lot of good around here. .with a killer like you on the squad. Now, mind you, I don't think you'd ever show any real style.

.like some of my boys, but you'd probably lick them all. .because you got something inside of you. .that a lot of fighters will never have. .no matter how much I teach them:. I don't know why it's there. I only know that if anybody hits you, he better start ducking fast. Because that hate pours into your right hand. .and makes it like a. Like a charge of dynamite. What a great big waste of a lot of hate. Your whole life you've let it get you into trouble. Let it start doing some good for you.

Oh, yeah? What good is it gonna do for me? I mean, what can it do for a dishonorable discharge? Can it get me back in the Army? No, I'm afraid it's too late for that. I'm sorry, Rocky.

Hundreds of them. Thousands of them marching around in circles.

.because I think you might have fought a pretty darned good war. Got any ideas of what you're gonna do when you get out of here?

None of you guys ever do. You walk out of a prison as dumb as you go in. .itching for the same trouble that put you there in the first place. Let me give you an alternative. Join my squad and I'll put you through a year of the worst hard labor.

.you ever sweat through. I don't mean just skipping rope.

.and clowning through exhibition bouts.

You'll dig ditches and carry bags of cement till your back nearly breaks. You'll curse me for it. But when you get out. .you'll be in the best shape of your life. And maybe, just maybe, you might have learned enough. .to get by in one of the toughest rackets there is.
