Well, it's just that, you see... I fight in clubs, you know. I'm really a ham-and-egger. This guy... he's the best, and it wouldn't be such a good fight.

- Rocky, I've got a proposition I'd like to make to you.

- Uh, for sparrin'?

- Beg your pardon?

- Well, it's just that I know you're lookin' for sparrin' partners, and I just wanna say I'm very available, you know.

- I'm sure you are.

- Absolutely. Sparrin' with the Champ would be an honor. And you know what, Mr. Jergens?

- What?

- I wouldn't take no cheap shots, either. I'd really be a good sparring partner.

- You don't understand me, Rocky. My proposition is this: Would you be interested in fighting Apollo Creed, for the World Heavyweight Championship?

- No.

- Listen, Rocky... Apollo's seen you fight. He likes you. He wants to fight you.

- Well, it's just that, you see... I fight in clubs, you know. I'm really a ham-and-egger. This guy... he's the best, and it wouldn't be such a good fight.

- But thank you very much, you know. I appreciate it and all that.

- Rocky? Do you believe that America is the land of opportunity?

- Yeah.

- Apollo Creed does.

- And he's gonna prove it to the whole world by giving an unknown a shot at the title. And that unknown is you.

- He picked you, Rocky. Rocky, it's the chance of a lifetime. You can't pass it by. What do you say?
