Ali (2001) Edit

A little rain must fall.

A man's religion is his own business. What kind of question is that?

A virgin? How you gonna What you saying?

A world champion.

About what they think.

About your unpatriotic remarks about the war?

Africa.

Again, I say you came to the wrong place.

Again.

Ain't gonna get this done!

Ain't no kryptonite in this ring tonight.

Ain't no Vietcong ever called me ******.

Ain't nobody in that ring but me. I made me.

Ain't nobody made me.

Ain't nothin' wrong with me.

Ain't nothin' wrong with me. My head ain't bad.

Ain't nothing changed.

Air heavy...

Aka Muhammad Ali.

Ali comes out to meet Frazier, but Frazier starts to retreat.

Ali swings with his left, Ali swings with his right.

Ali swings with his right. What a beautiful swing.

Ali wants his title, and he wants it in Zaire.

Ali, be quiet and listen to the instructions.

Ali, be quiet. Listen to the instructions.

Ali, don't let him beat on you on the inside.

All I'm trying to say is it's time for everybody to stop lyin'.

All of em All of em about Veronica's complexion.

All of em, they got hair come all the way down to the back of their knees.

All of that.

All of us together.

All praise to Allah.

All right now. All right now.

All right, all right. Hey, I got to go.

All right, break. Step back.

All right, brother.

All right.

All that's gonna happen, they gonna give Ellis to Frazier...

All them ladies out there, they know I'm ready.

All they are is political.

All you got to do is announce that after I whup Jerry Quary...

All you got to do is bring it tome

All you Zaireans, y'all be on guard too.

And Ali laying back, fighting those blows against the sides of his body.

And all their uncles and cousins and friends...

And all you can think about is if I look dull enough?

And anyone in this arena will tell you.

And bus stations!

And by new Wildroot, totally new Wildroot in a new tube...

And Cassius Clay is sidestepping.

And Don King fit right in too.

And down he goes!

And every tear that is shed

And Foreman Is poised as can be.

And Frazier is down again!

And get me a kosher cook. I want that lady over at Malcolm's temple.

And he accepts me. I’m *******, but yet he's Muslim...

And how you do that? You jump over a broom and, shazam, you're a Muslim?

And I ain't afraid to be what I wanna be...

And I could do...

And I flunked their draft board test.

And I learned we now have this suite at the intercontinental Hotel.

And I live with the casual ones. I live with 'em.

And I no longer wanna be called by that slave name.

And I put it in my arm.

And if I look around for my man and I can't find him...

And Islamic law will be satisfied.

And it's time for everybody to stop lying and tell the truth.

And its dealers in 37 states and Canada...

And its dealers in 37 states and Canada...

And knocked his self out.

And Liston backs away.

And my mother died when I was eleven.

And now the time has come.

And now they matched you up against George Foreman.

And now they're ready.

And one in the lower right shin.

And she said you not the man you used to be two years ago!

And Sonny Liston is not taking the stool.

And strapped him to that 75 pound cotton gin fan.

And tell Joe I said he is very ugly.

And that the championship really is his until that battle ensues.

And that's the onliest thing He did.

And the most terriblest husband at the same time.

And the prophet is goin' home.

And the truth tastes good when there's a belly full of lies.

And them little itsy bitsy things is eatin' these people's whole house down.

And then I said, Man, you scribble.

And there's the bell.

And they cut out one of his eyes 'cause he looked at some white lady.

And they're fighting after the bell. And they're still fighting.

And this is what I say when I call on my man.

And this is what I say when I call on my man.

And this system of injustice that's in place right here in America...

And to think I gave up a lucrative practice for the likes of you.

And took it high on the forehead.

And we can see that the champion is the aggressor.

And we don't teach you to turn the other cheek in the North.

And we got Malcolm traveling all over the world, getting Ben Bella and Nasser.

And we still get along.

And when I see George throwin' punches, this is what I hear:

And without me, you'd be a mouth.

And you know I got a man somewhere out there that I don't mind crawling to.

And you're an ex champion with diminished skills.

And you're defending him and Brother Herbert?

And your spirit as a human being...

And, baby...

And, oh, by the way, Sonny Liston is here too.

Another boxing milestone is at hand.

Another left. A straight jab.

Any questions, challenger?

Any strange boats creeping away, they might be taking him out.

Anybody can fight in Vegas.

Anymore.

Anything's to do with me I say is to do with me, fat boy. I'm still a Christian.

Are you eating?

Are you okay?

Are you really fast enough anymore...

At dead children.

At the time Malcolm X was speaking...

Baby, if you ever

Baby, just feel it

Baby, you ain't never gonna be with any other.

Bad style.

Be cool.

Be Moses in reverse.

Be the invisible man as soon as he swings.

Beat your ass like I was your daddy.

Because Birmingham was part of the civil rights struggle.

Because he gave me your number when he checked in.

Because I always believed that the Lord could help me if nobody else could.

Because they're scared of black militancy in the inner cities.

Because you are so provoked in your heart...

Because you miss the significance.

Because your times will never get better unless you make them better.

Been here before.

Before we do anything, we'd like to say how are you doing out there?

Beg my baby, please

Belinda.

Biggest fight in history.

Black promoted championship fight in Africa.

Blond haired, blue eyed Muslims, Arabs, Africans, Indonesians.

Born on a doorstep with a note across my chest that read...

Both challenger and champion are in the ring.

Bottled water. Frozen steaks.

Boxin' lessons and fallin' down lessons.

But I talked to your wife...

But I've got bosses who only give a damn about Nielsen ratings.

But listen That ain't all

But merely his survival to this juncture

But now he hasn't answered the door in three days.

But our radar stations picked him up. He's somewhere over the Atlantic.

But revoke yours?

But sometime I think he don't even hear me.

But sometime I think he don't even hear me.

But that's good. That's why we free.

But the mummy can't hit what the mummy can't see...

But the punch lifts Frazier clean out of the ring.

But them white women, goddamn it!

But this man is a professional prizefighter.

But we got to get this steamroller movin' right now.

But you are special.

But you ever seen anything as pretty as me?

Can I be in your corner, young man?

Can you get a fight promoted?

Can't fight here. Can't fight outside the country.

Can't fill no arena. They got to let me fight.

Can't let you get that second wind which you don't even know is there for you.

Cannot flower in the gloom and shade of postponement to the Astrodome...

Cass, hit him!

Cassius Clay slips away. And now Clay pounds a left.

Cassius goes back to his corner. It's been an amazing round.

Cassius Marcellus Clay, US Army.

Cassius, are you a black Muslim? Pat Putnam says in the Miami Herald

Cassius. Cassius.

Champ, draw a crowd or not draw a crowd...

Champ.

Change your mind

Check his time!

Clay is the name of the people that owned my ancestors...

Clay lands a left, but Liston ducked under it...

Clay, an inch and a half taller, in the white trunks with the red stripes

Cocoa skin.

Come on now, Ali, get off the ropes!

Come on, Ali!

Come on, Ali!

Come on, Ali!

Come on, Ali.

Constitutes a felony...

Cosell, are you losin' your hearing along with your hair?

Cover my hair, wear no makeup and wear those long dresses?

Darlin'

Did y'all see that? That man just hit me.

Did you say you were broke? How can you be broke?

Direct from Zaire, Africa.

Do

Do I have to read about it? Do people have to call me on the phone to tell me?

Do not let my people go. Keep them the fuck right here in Egypt.

Do you have to throw it in my face?

Do you love her?

Do you think they give a damn if you get killed?

Do you think you're acting like the people's champion?

Do you think you're going to jail?

Do you understand?

Does the defense have anything it wants to say?

Don brought me here, but I'm not with anybody, no.

Don King delivered the first ever...

Don King don't care about Africa. He's worse than Herbert.

Don King talks black, lives white and thinks green.

Don't believe that stuff on TV. Don't listen to him.

Don't bother me. I'm a world famous sportscaster...

Don't bother me. I'm a world famous sportscaster...

Don't fight the feelin' Don’t fight the feelin'

Don't let him beat on you on the inside.

Don't let him get in your corner. He's tying to cut the ring off you.

Don't put it off.

Don't put no question to it, man. I done told you, I'm through fightin'.

Don't worry about it. You lost all of yours.

Don't you know that I'll always

Don’t you never talk to Angelo like that.

Don’t you never talk to Angie like that again.

Double hotel costs, airplane, travel costs, food and beverage.

Doubtless your lawyer will lodge an appeal...

Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!

Dressed the same. High and low, the same.

Dry cleaning all these suits is not free.

Due to Cassius Clay's membership in the militant and radical black Muslims.

During the day, I got to think.

Eat your words! Eat your words!

Eight rounds to go. Running out of gas, big fella?

Eight to oh, unanimous decision.

Especially not out here in front of all these people.

Every single one of em. Bad, man.

Every smile is not a smile of happiness.

Everybody knows that I am the champ.

Everybody's with me tonight

Everyone knows I can't do nothing...

Everyone, Europe to China, every home in America...

Everyone’s gonna know what the heavyweight champion of the world...

Fall down on my knees

Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Fight him in the middle of Times Square. You think that'd draw a crowd?

Fight.

Fine. You go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years.

First they take my eyes.

Five years imprisonment and a fine of $10,000.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

For my rights and my religious beliefs.

For those of you who think you came here today...

For your precious love

Foreman again pushing him against the ropes.

Foreman is all over Frazier.

Forwards, backwards, sideways.

Four little girls who got bombed in that Birmingham church...

Frankly, Muhammad, I'm surprised, because unless you

Frazier keeps backin', but there's not enough room.

Frazier said he'd be happy with three mil.

Frazier's disappeared from view. The crowd is getting frantic.

Frazier's gonna kill him, then what?

Frazier's still risin', and the referee wears a frown...

From September 24 to October 30.

From speaking my thoughts in action.

From this day forward...

Gave Sugar Ray Robinson my power for seven years.

Gene Kilroy's dropping off groceries like charity.

George Foreman has been knocked out by Muhammad Ali!

George Foreman is down!

George Foreman is hit by a combination of punches...

George Foreman is the heavyweight champion of the world.

George go, George go. Hell, I can get you Joe Frazier.

George knocked his self out.

George, get him back. What the hell's going on? Come on.

Get away from the rope!

Get away from the rope! Get off the rope!

Get away from the ropes! Get off the ropes!

Get back in the middle of the ring, Ali!

Get in tune to

Get me out of this county. All the women so pretty.

Get me receipts, I'll reimburse you for your dry cleaning.

Get me that short dog.

Get my son Herbert on the telephone.

Get off the rope!

Get off the ropes!

Get off the ropes!

Get off the ropes!

Get off the ropes! Get off the ropes!

Get off them ropes!

Get off there! Get off there!

Get on him. Get on him, man.

Get personal with him.

Get to your television set, get to your radio...

Get to your television set, get to your radio...

Get up!

Get up! Ain't nobody gonna believe this.

Give it to me.

Go ahead.

Go ahead. Blow on that for me.

Go get me some Champ Burgers.

Go to Algeria. See Ben Bella.

Go, Muhammad!

God ain't watching'! Ain't nobody but us!

God ain't watching'! Ain't nobody but us!

God don't care about you. Don't care about me.

Good evening, sports fans across the nation.

Good God All mighty

Good morning, sister.

Got to dance. You can't come out there like that.

Got to feel the feelin'

Got to feel the feelin' now Got to feel the feelin'

Got to tell you how I feel right now

Got to whup George.

Green eyes.

Have a little coffee with your sugar.

Have no contact with her for 90 days.

Have some fun.

He ain't nothin' to me. And he know it.

He ain't scared of that mummy. That mummy too slow to catch anybody.

He also asked me to inform you...

He can't catch nobody. Look at him.

He did three rounds, realized he was gonna lose to Muhammad Ali...

He fight like a mummy.

He gonna say, Call the police! It's five of 'em in here!

He got him!

He has regained the heavyweight crown...

He is entirely too slow to fight me.

He know I'm great. He will fall in eight.

He knows I like pork and white women, but still allows me to be here with him.

He loves it too much.

He may no longer appear in temple, pray or teach...

He maybe No, he's rising.

He steals all the wealth and sends it to Switzerland.

He talk a little more, I might drop him in four.

He understands me. He understands me and he still allows me to hang with him.

He was shot in a poker game when I was two, so he don't do nothing.

He will not be traveling with you to Africa.

He's anxious to get back into the challenger's face.

He's fallen like a tree in the forest!

He's on the phone, talking to his wife.

He's quite younger than me? Well, we quite younger than you.

He's quite younger than you. How you feeling about that?

He's right.

He's too slow. You know I name all my fighters.

He's tying to cut you off the ring. You can't let that happen.

Hell, man, I already got the title.

Hello, Sam.

Hello? Muhammad, it's for you.

Herbert Muhammad has been put in charge of his training.

Herbert say I'm runnin' on empty. Now, just put aside...

Here come the left.

Here come the right.

Here you go, Daddy.

Here. Sit down, Mr. Clay.

Here's some management papers. I need you to sign right there.

Here's the deal the government offered. You do six weeks in basic.

Here's what you might see.

Here's your license back. I will tell them...

Hey, Brother Muhammad, look here.

Hey, brother. What's going on, man?

Hey, champ.

Hey, did you see that Ellis Quary fight?

Hey, Herbert, we did good. Doin' good tonight.

Hey, man, when you get back?

Hey, man.

Hey, man.

Hey, shut up and get in.

Hey, stop! All right, back up.

Hey, you ever been down to Hong Kong? Thailand? Taiwan?

Hey, Zack, where's George?

Hey. Hey, man.

Hi, brother.

His opponent, weighing in at 2051/2 pounds...

His sparring partner's elbow split it open.

Hold on a second, Joe. They're telling me we have a caller.

Hold on a second.

Hold on to him!

Hold on. Watch this. I've been working on this at home.

Honey, please.

How about it for Sam Cooke?

How are you doing?

How did that happen?

How do you account for the beating you've taken?

How right you are, my suspicious and short Italian brother.

How you doin', champ?

Howard Cosell, you ain't nothin' but an instigator.

I I sold your belt.

I ain't burnin' no flag, and I ain't runnin' to Canada.

I ain't gonna be submissive to them Brother X's and Z's...

I ain't joking.

I ain't never been with nobody like you.

I always know when I know.

I am Muhammad Ali.

I am submissive to you.

I am the greatest. I'm a bad man. I shook up the world!

I am the pilot. He's the copilot.

I am therefore suspending Mr. Ali from the practice of Islam.

I begged my father to reinstate you.

I believe that they'll hear that.

I believe we're gonna have a goodtime tonight

I can be there for four or five more.

I can't be seen with you.

I can't beat you up in front of your daughters.

I can't see nothin', man. Just go and cut 'em off, Angie.

I can't see, man.

I could go down there and get the belt. I can go get the belt.

I couldn't take my eyes to it, couldn't throw it away.

I didn't come all this far to lose.

I didn't even want to talk about this, man.

I didn't mean for that to come out.

I don't care who you was with

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't wanna do nothin' in front of your daughters, though.

I drank water from the well of Zem Zem.

I especially want you ladies to listen to me 'cause maybe you can try this.

I feel can tell you about my baby right now

I fight George.

I fit goes past the first round, there will be surprises already.

I follow the Lord, look a little higher.

I got a little doll for Atallah.

I got a much bigger contender, a much heavier opponent.

I got almost nowhere I can promote a fight for you.

I got Malcolm shoulder to shoulder with Martin Luther King.

I got to put honkies with connections and bad ass ****as to it.

I got to tell the man that I love him, yes, I will

I got Yank to commit to a rematch with you in about six months.

I gotta find us some venues fast. I'll call you later.

I guarantee...

I had a five five good twos.

I heard about the Nation stuff, the courtroom.

I heard you. I been watching you.

I interviewed you for my school paper.

I just got here. I'm front row, seat seven.

I just wake up a couple of times in the night, but it’s okay.

I just wanna know why my Muslim husband...

I just wanna know why my Muslim husband...

I just wanna make sure you're gonna control the evening.

I know he's your man, I know you got him picked, but the man is in trouble.

I know low where the king is goin' back to his throne!

I know people in the restaurant business.

I know who I ain't. I ain't drinkin'.

I know you been gone away for along time, but listen

I locked it up so tight...

I lost control over the right side of my body.

I love your father, Herbert. I swear, man. I love the Nation.

I mean, really lose it?

I must be the greatest.

I need to talk to you.

I need you to find a way to get George to stay.

I need you. I need your strength.

I never stopped. I still do.

I prayed at sunrise. Two million people. Pilgrims from all over, man.

I prayed in the ancient city of Mena. I prayed on Mount Arafat.

I predict that when the fight is set, he might not show.

I respect you. I will always respect you.

I said I feel you're in the mood

I said I feel you're in the mood right now

I said I'm beginning to feel alright now

I said it feels good when you got somebody

I said oh, yeah

I said, Listen, why you doin' this to yourself?

I said, Man, is this how they act when you get big?

I saw your light on. What you doing up at this hour, champ?

I say that George Foreman is a mummy.

I say to you, you came to the wrong place.

I see fear in the eyes of his followers.

I sell Muhammad Speaks over the phone.

I sentence you to the maximum sentence allowable:

I stay out of jail and keep boxing.

I think he hurt Joe Frazier.

I think Joe is hurt.

I think the champ was in a hurry.

I think you drunk. Daddy Clay, you're something else.

I thought you could punch, George. They said you could punch.

I told you! I told you!

I wanna marry her.

I want a good, clean fight. Protect yourself at all times.

I want all the helicopters guarded, all the private planes, private boats.

I want President Mobutu and all his paratroopers

I want you all to tell all their aunts...

I wanted you

I was eleven.

I will never fight again.

I will.

I would fight Joe Frazier for free in a phone booth...

I'll always be your slave

I'll be sittin' with Mom and Dad.

I'll crawl out of the ring and take the first jet airplane out the country.

I'll do anything.

I'll fly to Jamaica, get Yank to sign right after Joe beats this big stiff.

I'll give you jewelry

I'll give you some of that money too

I'll hit George Foreman so many times, he'll think he's surrounded.

I'll not have you benefiting yourself by fighting abroad.

I'll try when we get back.

I'll walk all night out in the rain

I'm a black Jew, I can't read and I'm half drunk.

I'm bad, man. I'm bad!

I'm called Bundini.

I'm clean.

I'm definitely gonna be the people's champion...

I'm fightin' the entire US government.

I'm fine running around here in these cute, short things for you.

I'm flyin'.

I'm free.

I'm glad you were here to witness this this assault.

I'm gonna be the champ the way I wanna be.

I'm gonna bust you up.

I'm gonna call George Foreman The Mummy.

I'm gonna give Sonny Liston talkin' lessons...

I'm gonna take you there.

I'm not gonna be on the payroll. I'm freelance. Emphasis on free.

I'm not prognosticating anything...

I'm only 22 years old. I ain't got a mark on my face.

I'm out there dying for you out of worry.

I'm petitioning on a conscientious objection basis. Religious belief.

I'm real glad you said what you did.

I'm serious. I want the airports

I'm stayin' right here. You wanna send me to jail?

I'm still here.

I'm talkin' about blood on the floor.

I'm the best thing ever happened to you, Cosell.

I'm the greatest thing ever happened to boxing.

I'm the only normal person left around here.

I'm the only normal person left around here.

I'm the only witch doctor here. Bundini Brown.

I'm too fast.

I'm too fast. I'm too fast. I move too good for him.

I've been invited to speak at Ibadan University in Nigeria.

If George leaves, he ain't comin' back. George don't like it here.

If he gets you against the ropes, he can knock you out with either hand.

If he talk a little jive, he's going down in five.

If I wanna die, I'll die right here right now, fightin' you, if I wanna die.

If I was to get in the ring with Joe...

If it's good, I'm that.

If Joe goes back an inch farther, he'll wind up in a ringside seat.

If that happens, promise me you’ll put some new people around you.

If that’s all right, my husband.

If they came to me tomorrow and say, We want you to fight Joe Frazier.

If you accept the induction, life goes on.

If you wanna have more fun, do it in round one.

If you whup me...

In a proud Afro American way.

In all of everything, we don't mean nothin'. He don't owe us.

In Bern, Switzerland.

In just a few minutes, Louisville's Cassius Marcellus Clay...

In Louisville, where I growed up, they barely let black folks drive buses.

In New Orleans.

In order to ensure that George is ready, we are thinking of postponing...

In the case of The United States vs. Cassius Clay...

In the middle of Times Square if I wasn't broke.

In the spiritual and physical rebirth of Afro American people...

In this corner, the contender and former heavyweight champion of the world...

In this whole wide world I wouldn’t do for you, darling

Into each life...

Into the United States Armed Forces.

Introducing, on my right

Is allowing himself to get strung up on a cross.

Is analogous to a garden in the African sun it must grow, it must bloom.

Is one granted an original name.

Is wonder and imagine.

Islamic faith help you do that?

It don't ever waiver.

It eats raw meat.

It is over!

It is over!

It is over! It is over!

It mean, Ali, kill him. Ali, kill him.

It might help you every once in a while.

It seems to have stunned him. And that's the bell.

It walk in its own shoes.

It will be a historical and a momentous night.

It will rise up and fill with hope, the souls...

It'd be easy to get a fight with Frazier now.

It's a scene of absolute bedlam in the ring!

It's all over for you, man. You don't have a chance.

It's all set. I do a prelim in Atlanta against Jerry Quary...

It's Clay coming on.

It's good to have somebody you can twist the night away with

It's like he's blinking, like he doesn't see Liston.

It's Muhammad Ali.

It's not gonna make a difference with your boxing licenses.

It's only a matter of time before Ali lowers the boom.

Jimmy Ellis. Fight that boy in a phone booth.

Joe Frazier told me on this show that he could knock you out.

Joe Frazier. He can't up no gate.

Juan Raymondo Benitez, US Army.

Just be cool.

Just get up. Get up. Try and do it. Come on.

Just keep moving.

Just like I ain't never stopped bein' the champ.

Just like that, Daddy.

Just look at the kid carry the fight.

Just relax.

Just take care of it!

Just tell me why.

Just tell me why.

Keep puttin' out. Come on.

Keep talkin'. I'm gonna fuck you up.

Kind of pray to the Lord.

Kind of raise my voice a little higher.

Kind of raise my voice a little higher.

Know that leaving

Ladies and gentlemen, 15 rounds of boxing...

Ladies and gentlemen, right now we'd like to introduce...

Ladies and gentlemen, the heavyweight champion of the world has arrived!

Leaving me behind

Legs hurting.

Les, I'm going up into the ring. Get back.

Let him go.

Let me have that, John.

Let me tell ya I was so lonely

Let's go, Ali.

Let's go, baby! Stay off the ropes!

Let's go.

Let's tell it like it is. With your court and boxing problems...

Liberia.

License all revoked, passport gone, can't fight here, can't fight nowhere.

Like I'm in water.
