And Sonny Liston is not taking the stool.
And strapped him to that 75 pound cotton gin fan.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

Original people. Like Moses. And I was a babe in a basket too.
Paintin' those blue eyed, blond haired Jesuses is what put food in you.

So I have to fall a little lower on my knees, look a little higher.
So let's all get together and welcome him to the stage with a great big hand.
So lonely, lonely So lonely and so blue
So that's what you think?
So the anger I felt I had to contain.
So we've decided we want you...
So what do I have to do?
