I don't believe in myself no more, don't you understand?!
When a fighter doesn't believe that's it!
He's finished.
It's over, that's it!
That's NOT IT! That IS it!
Why don't you tell me the truth?!
WHAT ARE YOU PUTTING ME THROUGH, ADRIAN?!?
You wanna know the truth?! The truth is I don't wanna lose what I've got!
In the beginning I didn't care about what happened to me,
I go out in the ring, got busted-up, I didn't care!
But now there's you, there's the kid, I don't wanna lose what I've got!
Well, what do we have that can't be replaced? What?!
A house, we've got cars, we've got money!
We've got everything but the Truth.
What's the truth damn it?!
I'M AFRAID!!! ALRIGHT?!?!
You wanna hear me say it?!
You wanna break me down? I am afraid!
For the first time in my life I'm afraid.
I'm afraid too.
There's nothing wrong with being afraid.
There is, for me there is.
Why? You're human, aren't you?
Look, I don't know what I am, all I know is that I'm a liar
And because of that, Mickey ain't here no more.
You didn't push him into anything!
He was a grown man and he did what he had to do
And you have no right to feel guilty for what happened to him, you don't!
You were Champion.
And you did what you were expected to do.
And you did what I and everyone else thought you should do.
And you would've tell me that those fights weren't real? That you were carried?
Well, I don't believe it.
It doesn't matter what I believe
Because you're the one that's got to carry that fear around inside you
Afraid...
That everybody is gonna take things away
Afraid that you're gonna be remembered as a coward
That you're not a man anymore.
Now, none of it's true.
But it doesn't matter if I tell you
It doesen't matter because you're the one that's got to settle it.
Get rid of it!
Because when all the smoke is clear
And everyone is through, chanting your name, it's just gonna be us.
And you can't live like this, we can't live like this!
Cus it's gonna bother you for the rest of your life.
Look what's doing to you now.
Apollo thinks you can do it
So do I
But you, you gotta do it for the right reasons
Not for the guilt over Mickey
Not for the people
Not for the title
Not for money or me...
But for you.
Just you, just you alone.
And if I lose?
Then you lose, but at least you lose with no excuses
No fear
And I know you can live with that.
How you got so tough?
I live with a fighter!
I really Love You.
I love you.
