Creed (2015) Edit

A challenger uninterested in a hero's send off.

A fact that was kept under wraps because Johnson

A fight they'll never forget.

A fighter cannot be saved by the bell.

A good right hand thrown at him.

A left and a right to the head.

A little history on Apollo Creed.

A little more vicious than that, little more power.

A little nervous?

A lot bigger since you last seen him.

A lot of people got their start.

A place where people find hope in the tales of their heroes.

A round of applause for these two warriors in the ring!

A second round TKO defeat in Philadelphia last night.

A very good chance of recovery.

A way to get inside of Conlan's long arms

About the kid? (CLEARS THROAT)

Adonis Creed wins the night.

Adonis got into a fight today,

Adonis Johnson, a little known boxer being trained by Rocky Balboa

Adonis was lucky there wasn't another 30 seconds in that round.

Adonis, I know you never met your father.

Adonis, I would like it very much

Adonis, these boys come in here, this how they survive.

ADONIS: Bianca!

ADONIS: Get some of these collard greens.

ADONIS: Hey, check you out.

ADONIS: I didn't lie.

ADONIS: I'm gonna knock that smile off your face.

ADONIS: I'm honored.

ADONIS: Just wanna talk to you about my job.

ADONIS: Let's go see Rock on Front Street! Ride with me!

ADONIS: Mmm hmm.

ADONIS: Nobody showed me how to do this.

ADONIS: One. Two? The deal was two!

ADONIS: So I heard you back there, jawn this, jawn that.

ADONIS: So where are we?

ADONIS: Y'all two are killing me.

ADONIS: Yeah, feel like an art museum.

Adonis.

After words were exchanged during the face off.

Ah! You cheated!

Ah.

Ain't got nothing to do with me.

Ain't never had a steak before.

Ain't nobody around here knows me.

All of a sudden, this kid from Hollywood gets you out of the shadows.

All right, Amir.

All right, baby, let's go.

All right, Donnie. I'm proud of you.

All right, fellas,

All right, got it. Hold that real quick.

All right, I'll show you right now. My pops ain't here.

All right, I'll step on outside, Rock.

All right, I'm not gonna hold my breath.

All right, listen.

All right, look. Don't get rattled.

All right, man.

All right, one to the gut.

All right, Paulie!

All right, you guys get to know each other.

All right, you wanna warm up?

All right? I need somebody solid and who else better to go to?

All right? She died when I was young.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Breathe through your mouth.

All right. Come on, almost there.

All right. Donnie, get into your stance.

All right. I got a few.

All right. Mouthpiece.

All right. So his... His wife, that's not your mom?

All right. You just...

All the pain you had inside, everything that held you back.

All the time.

All you gotta do is land one clean head shot.

Almost there.

Almost there.

AMIR: All right, champ. Don't work too hard.

AMIR: Am I still taking them real shots?

AMIR: Come on, Creed!

AMIR: Take your soft ass back to L.A.!

An anonymous source confirmed to ESPN that Johnson

And Adonis Creed in the red, white and blue.

And Adonis is firing back!

And as my present to you, starting out on the right foot...

And backs Creed into the ropes.

And be mad at everything.

And Conlan really made him pay for it.

And create pressure on the inside.

And Creed does not know where he is,

And fighting out of the blue corner,

And for me, who's lucky enough to be knowing both of you guys.

And he's faster than you are.

And he's in holding.

And I do believe that in life, okay?

And I don't think I wanna do it.

And I don't think you'd be comfortable there.

And I got an apartment.

And I just moved in upstairs.

And I know he didn't leave me on purpose.

And I promise you, his head will fall.

And I think the family must have felt this embarrassment

And I think they're having a great old time up there

And I think you'll be a great singer.

And I wanna make it count.

And I want you to enjoy it, okay? Do that.

And I'm gonna focus on mine.

And I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna fight this thing.

And I'm gonna go to the restaurant and I'll be back.

And I'm just some bum just living in your crib,

And I'm pretty sure he'd catch my fade.

And knock that son of a bitch down.

And lost us millions in the process. Millions, okay?

And most of the time, you don't win it.

And now he kinda moves his feet along the side of the ring.

And now, after a discussion with Rocky Balboa between rounds,

And obey my commands at all times.

And over here is Elvis Grant.

And plus, I wanna make it on my own merit anyway.

And put it into a bowl or something

And round one was all Ricky Conlan.

And say, Hey! Here. I'd like to

And since he's the champion,

And start chemotherapy immediately.

And still the undefeated champion of the world...

And that's it.

And the millions watching around the world,

And then five rounds of...

And they sure don't know what we've been through.

And thinks it will be easy to use his jab

And this wasn't part of it.

And trading shots as they come to these last three minutes.

And trying to control that temper of mine.

And we'll, uh, see what you say, okay?

And we're gonna run some tests in the morning

And we've beaten everybody.

And what if I say no?

And what you take back with you.

And who's boxed his way from California streets

And with the Sporino fight, that makes you 16 0.

And you are the clown who couldn't control himself at a weigh in

And you're a better person than that.

And you're all right with that?

And you're doing it for yourself.

And you're doing it for yourself.

And you're gonna see if you got the right thing.

And you're part of him.

And your biopsy came back showing signs

And, of course, Apollo Creed, the world champion.

And, you know, he's getting better every day

And, you know, I hear from him now and then,

ANNOUNCER: Superfight Two with Rocky Balboa, the challenger

Another pitched battle between the two warriors.

Another right and another right thrown by the champion.

Anything else?

Anyway, I gotta lock up.

Anyway, it's a good day today.

Anyway, shall we see what's new in the world today?

Apollo had an affair with my mom.

Are they too tight?

Are you crazy?

Are you gonna find a problem with everything I say?

As long as you're talking, you're not listening.

As soon as he shows up, he's gonna start on you.

As the guy that you're gonna be fighting, right?

As the most sacred element of their identity,

At least let me get my shoes.

At least put on your head gear.

At least we got the speed.

Aw. It's okay.

Back off.

Back there, like all them guys on that wall.

Be first, Donnie. Come on!

Be first!

Because I got other plans for my life

Because I said to myself,

Because they kept it under wraps for so long.

Because we got a lot of stuff to do.

Because we're training.

Because you can get laid out.

Because you can hurt them.

Because you're a Creed and I love you, kid.

Because you're playing his game, Donnie.

Behind closed doors.

Believes he's the sport's future.

Better talk to your little pretty boy boyfriend, man.

Between Pretty Ricky Conlan and Danny Wheeler.

Bianca, you're beautiful

BIANCA: ♪ Grip, grip

BIANCA: Come on, Donnie!

BIANCA: Donnie! Donnie! Donnie!

BIANCA: Hey!

BIANCA: I don't even know what fighters drink.

BIANCA: I made something for you.

BIANCA: North Philly.

BIANCA: Okay, mayonnaise.

BIANCA: Yeah.

BIANCA: You might as well have.

Bills are paid.

Blue corner, red corner.

Body! Body!

Body! Body!

Both guys landing!

Boxing fans have been waiting years for the Superfight

Boy's fast.

Break!

Breathe, Leo, breathe.

Bring back everything that's ever hurt you.

Brought you back.

BUFFER: Pretty Ricky Conlan!

Build, build, build.

But all the legends in the world

But for the undefeated best pound for pound boxer in the world,

But he does not look like a match

But he's gonna take a while.

But he's trading willingly.

But I found out right before your show.

But I got you.

But I never meant to let you down.

But I only need them in places with a lot of background noise.

But I think he's got something up his sleeve for you.

But I'll do what you wanna do.

But I'm gonna be living with my uncle for a while,

But I'm just curious, what made you wanna fight?

But I'm just getting used to this kid right now,

But I'm not gonna say it's gonna kill his legacy.

But if I fight, I want you to fight, too.

But if we did do it

But it doesn't mean you have to be him.

But it was tough for him to live in Philadelphia.

But just keep smart and keep away from him.

But now it is Creed coming back.

But now the left eye looks like it's almost shut.

But that's it. Okay?

But that's normal, and it's gonna give you energy.

But the good news is we caught it early.

But we guess the fighters couldn't wait another 24 hours.

But you assaulted the headliner to my show,

But you got your whole future ahead of you.

But you know what? It's okay.

But you're hurting him, too.

But, Wilbon, does knowledge of this affair damage Apollo Creed's legacy?

But, you gotta work hard.

Buy one more day with my wife,

Can I ask you something personal?

Can I help you?

Can I roll with you?

Can I talk to you a minute?

Can the kid fight as well as the old man?

Can you at least let me apologize?

Can you do it?

Can you just stall for 10 minutes or something?

Can't do it.

Can't help him tonight if he can't fight.

Center of the hall.

Check it out.

Close the distance. That's it.

Come here! (GRUNTS)

Come here! God damn it!

Come here.

Come listen with me.

Come on in! Bianca! Bianca! Come in!

Come on in.

Come on, baby.

Come on, baby. What you doing?

Come on, come on.

Come on, D!

Come on, Donnie. Back it up.

Come on, I got you. Hey, Stitch!

Come on, kid! Come on!

Come on, let's fight, man! Let him go!

Come on, let's go.

Come on, man! You did it.

Come on, man.

Come on, man. You know he busy, man.

Come on, no breaks. We rest at the top.

Come on, tighten up.

Come on, Unc.

Come on, young man.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Don't sit there!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Body, come here.

Come on. Let's do this.

Comes over in a hurry now.

Congratulations, Adonis, on a sensational effort.

Conlan fires a hard body punch,

Conlan is significantly taller

Conlan punched Wheeler

Conlan, can we expect any more fireworks at the weigh in?

CONLAN: Legacy? Are we at some kind of comedy club?

CONLAN: That's exactly how it happened for this guy.

Conlan's going away for a long time.

Conlan's rags to riches background.

Control your tempo then build slowly.

Cool, thank you. It's nice to meet you.

Could we have a moment, please?

Course.

Creed is going for the knockout.

Creed lands a jab, Conlan grins at it.

Creed looks to land one big shot.

Creed my asshole!

Creed with the left hand.

CROWD: (CHANTING) Conlan!

CROWD: (CHANTING) Creed! Creed! Creed!

CROWD: (CHANTING) Leo! Leo! Leo!

D, I'm gonna be right outside.

Damage his legacy? Let's go back for a second.

Danny Stuntman Wheeler

DANNY: Told you I'd win, man.

Definitely has a lot more experience than you.

Did he fight pro?

Did you call me Unc?

Did you train him, too?

Didn't know you were coming by.

Didn't turn out so good. But it's okay.

Didn't we have enough surprises for one weekend?

Dig deep. Body, body, body. Good.

Do it in the next round. Don't wait.

Do me a favor. Can we keep this between ourselves?

Do you hear something?

Do you remember that?

Do you ride?

Do you think you'd wanna do that?

Do you understand?

Does he have the game?

Does he train you?

Doesn't matter.

Doing good.

Don, don't get in. I want you to run alongside.

Don, sit down.

Don't have one. I'm more self taught.

Don't hit the lady.

Don't hit the lady.

Don't let him get to you.

Don't run.

Don't worry, it's cool.

Donnie, be ready!

Donnie, get up. You gotta keep moving.

Donnie, look at this.

Donnie, this man came here because he knows you're a sure thing.

Donnie, we gotta train.

Donnie, you were robbed.

Donnie! Donnie!

Donnie.

Donnie...

Double jab.

Double jab. Yup.

Dr. Kathari.

Drives Creed into the corner again.

End of discussion.

Even though I know she's mad at me for doing this.

Every time you get into the ring,

Everyone in here knows they've seen something special.

Everyone's ever disrespected you, see them.

Fast, pop it fast.

Fast, pop it fast.

FEMALE OFFICER: Let's go, Johnson.

Fight!

Fight's right here.

Fighters' origins can endure

Fighting out of the famed Delphi Boxing Academy,

Figured I'd stop by.

Figured you'd wanna take a break.

First for me, man.

Five rounds of jumping rope.

For helping me out after Mickey died.

For now.

For the thousands in attendance

For what?

Forgive him. Because there's nothing you can do about it.

Friends? You're just a trainer to me, right?

Fuck this gym!

Get 'em on the rope! Deep breath.

Get a VIP pass next to your pop, talking to me like that.

Get down to a buck 75,

Get him out of the way! Let's go!

Get on him! Get on him!

Get underneath him, and you'll be able to rip him.

Get up, D!

Get up.

Get your sick ass out of here!

Give him some room. Rock. Rock. Rock.

Give me some drills.

Go after it.

Go ahead over the top.

Go apologize. You guys are on the same damn team, okay?

Go to your corners! Come on!

Go up there and show him who you are!

Goes back to boxing to begin the second.

Going up and down the street.

Good luck with that.

Good luck, man.

Good luck.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good. You're looking good.

Got you.

Gotta do it fast. We have to...

Hands up. Hands up, kid.

Hands!

Happy birthday, my friend.

Hard left hook for Conlan, uppercut.

Hard right hand by Conlan.

Have to work, you know what I mean?

He bleed like me!

He comes in for more.

He did.

He had a pushover, he knows better now!

He has his daddy's heart, I'll tell you that much.

He makes the best gloves in the world.

He makes the best gloves in the world.

He old, man.

He passed before you were born, but you had a father.

He slipped. He made a mistake, like a lot of people.

He starts to take command early here

He still around here?

He was fighting with the other inmates.

He was my husband.

He's 17 and 0.

He's a pretty good trainer.

He's a real fighter, and he's helping me fight a few things,

He's an overnight success, never had a damn fight in his life.

He's Apollo Creed's son, he's got Rocky Balboa in his corner.

He's asleep.

He's going to sleep this time. He's going out this round.

He's gonna be staying with me, and when we ain't training

He's gonna come after you with everything he's got.

He's gonna jab and throw the right.

He's gonna make you a pair of gloves

He's got cancer.

He's got this shot because he found that name last night.

He's happy. I'm happy for him.

He's hungry.

He's lucky to be in the same ring with you hitting him.

He's my father.

He's no longer just the namesake of Apollo Creed,

He's no pushover, so you're gonna

He's not used to this level, all right?

He's taken it, he's given it back.

He's the champion.

He's the light heavyweight champion of the world,

He's the living embodiment.

He's white.

Heard you fell down. Was that the first time you've fallen?

Hello?

Hello? Yeah?

Hello.

Here comes Balboa coming back out.

Here in Liverpool, England,

Here we go, Paulie.

Here we go. Cent'anni. 100 years.

Here, he'll welcome an opponent who's also never been beaten

Here's what I want you to do.

Here's what I want you to do.

Hey, Bianca, don't close me out right now.

Hey, champ.

Hey, champ. How you doing, bro?

Hey, Donnie.

Hey, fam, dig this. I was showing you love, man.

Hey, good looking, Baby Creed.

Hey, hey, hey! You know what?

Hey, Hollywood, what do you weigh right now?

Hey, how you doing, Pete?

Hey, how you doing?

Hey, I heard you Apollo Creed's son.

Hey, James.

Hey, listen up!

Hey, man, thanks for everything.

Hey, ref, I'm gonna need some help here.

Hey, Rock! Long time no see, brother.

Hey, Rock.

Hey, Rocky!

Hey, Unc, you down there?

Hey, wait! Let me warm up real quick.

Hey, yo.

Hey!

Hey! The gang's all here!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. So how's everybody feeling tonight?

Hey. What's wrong with you?

Hi.

His arm is long.

His face is right there! Come on! Where's the jab?

His father was heavyweight champion of the world.

His last walk to the ring for a professional fight.

His professional record, 16 fights 16 victories.

Hits him hard with a right cross

Hollywood!

Hope we don't need him.

How close is it?

How do you know all this?

How do you think?

How does it look?

How good was he?

How many females have you been with before me?

How many fingers?

How many times I had to wipe his ass

How many, Adonis?

How much more relaxed Conlan is. He's been there before.

How we get it done?

How you doing, kid?

How you doing, lads? You know what I expect of you both.

How you doing, son?

How you doing?

How you doing?

How you doing?

How you feeling?

How you know Hollywood?

How?

How'd you do though? You kill it?

How'd you hear about that?

How'd you know that?

However, we will have to remove the tumor in your lymph nodes

Huh!

I ain't leaving

I ain't never even seen you battle before.

I ain't training if you don't get the treatment.

I ain't trying to make excuses for anything that I did,

I always knew it would happen eventually

I am hungry.

I am not a social worker.

I am serious. This is old school.

I am.

I apologize.

I appreciate it.

I appreciate it. Thank you very much.

I been fighting my whole life. I ain't got a choice.

I believe that in boxing

I believe that in boxing and I do believe that in life, okay?

I bounced around foster care for a couple years.

I came out here to work with you, though.

I can be there. Couple of days.

I can do it right now, bitch! We can do it right now!

I can do that.

I can get hurt doing anything.

I can give you drills, check in on you when I can.

I can hear your music.

I can lose five pounds. I can lose five pounds like that.

I can never hold the pads like that.

I can see in your eyes

I can tell the way you talk, you been to school.

I can think of better things to do, Donnie.

I can't do this anymore.

I can't see that happening.

I can't, no.

I care about your kids having a roof

I certainly have him right up there as maybe the best of all time.

I didn't forget ya.

I didn't get a chance to tell you,

I didn't plan on spending me prime years in a prison cell.

I didn't take you in for you to go backwards.

I do the talking, okay? You do the fighting.

I don't care how you're remembered.

I don't do that stuff no more. Sorry about that.

I don't go by that.

I don't go there. I haven't been there in a long time.

I don't have no father.

I don't know him.

I don't know if I'm ready for it.

I don't know if you're ready for it.

I don't know, probably like 180.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Aren't most boxers like...

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

I don't mind that.

I don't need no warm up. Get my stuff.

I don't really know what I'm doing here

I don't wanna be remembered like this.

I get it, I messed up.

I got a residency there so we're back on Friday.

I got my family right here.

I got progressive hearing loss.

I got too much going on right now.

I gotta put the gloves back on.

I gotta wake up early and work out.

I hate letting me family down.

I have has sauce or something on it.

I have not seen food that look like this in this house ever.

I heard about a third fight between you and Apollo,

I hurt myself, pushed family away.

I just came home, I wanted to talk to you.

I just didn't want to do nothing in the gym, that's all.

I just don't wanna do it, kid.

I just gotta make sure he forgets it all by Saturday night.

I just wanna see if I can get up these steps.

I just wanna thank my mom. She's at home. I love you.

I knew there was something with this kid.

I know a lot of cops and they said,

I know enough about you.

I know his girl.

I know it's cool. You definitely know it's cool.

I know that sounds scary,

I know what it's like to lose someone.

I know you don't want me to do this, right?

I know.

I like what you're doing out there, all right?

I mean, this hearing shit don't scare you?

I mean, weren't Apollo and Rocky like best friends?

I mean, what I look like?

I mean, you're in shape and all but...

I messed that up and I gotta live with that, all right?

I miss you.

I mostly just train myself.

I need you right now.

I only have an hour. Do you know where you wanna go?

I ought to knock you out myself.

I quit my job.

I said I don't have no father.

I saw how it went down.

I saw how it went down.

I should have stopped it.

I should've stopped the fight with your father.

I swear to God, if you're not gonna do it,

I think he'd rather be here, talking with you.

I think it would be a very wise move.

I think it would be a very wise move.

I think it's an embarrassment

I think it's my favorite place.

I think that's all we ever do. You know?

I think they're the toughest guys in the world.

I think you're gonna be a great champ, like your father.

I thought you said it was close.

I told you before,

I told you.

I tried, but he just didn't like fighting, didn't take to it.

I trusted you! Can you please not shut me out?

I wanna hear from you,

I wanna lock it in, okay?

I wanna show up, you know. Show some love.

I want you to always, always, always

I want you to let it all out.

I want you to protect yourself.

I want you to protect yourselves

I want you to throw your left under the radar.

I want you to train me.

I was 12.

I was hoping you could tell me.

I was in the ring.

I was just calling to let you know I'm doing good

I was just in the neighborhood. You've done nice here.

I wouldn't do it.

I'd always get nervous during times like this,

I'd do it.

I'd like you to do me a favor when all this is over.

I'll be at Mickey's Gym tomorrow.

I'll be right outside.

I'll cut you out of these gloves. It happens.

I'll go 24 7 with this shit.

I'll just tell him that I love him

I'll kill your ass!

I'll leave you two alone for a while.

I'll take you to the hospital right now.

I'll tell you, Adrian, God.

I'll turn my music down. You won't hear a peep.

I'm about to go over the ABC rules

I'm afraid of taking on the name and losing.

I'm all right.

I'm all right. It's out.

I'm asking you as a favor. I want him to make a name on his own.

I'm cool, man, I'm cool!

I'm dizzy.

I'm Donnie.

I'm feeling good, real good. I could go now.

I'm fighting Ricky Conlan.

I'm freaking out right now! I gotta take a shit!

I'm from L.A.

I'm gonna be fighting full time now.

I'm gonna call you.

I'm gonna call you.

I'm gonna knock his ass out.

I'm gonna knock that son of a bitch down.

I'm gonna make sure about that.

I'm gonna smash this kid to bits.

I'm gonna take you to this place called

I'm good.

I'm good. I'm a little sore, but I'm all right.

I'm leaving soon.

I'm next.

I'm not a mistake.

I'm not crazy at all.

I'm not doing no chemotherapy. No.

I'm not from a group home.

I'm not going to another group home.

I'm okay with it, really.

I'm opening at Electric Factory next month.

I'm out.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm sorry about what I said to you, back at the gym.

I'm sorry about your mother.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm stopping this one now.

I'm trying to make it on my own.

I'm trying to push off my back foot like you told me.

I'm usually here all the time,

I'm well, thanks. How you doing?

I'm working with this.

I've been doing some anger management classes

I've been fighting for some time now...

I've been there.

I've got you as 15 0 down there.

I've never even been knocked down, and that's not gonna change.

I've never lost.

If Apollo was around, he would tell you that, too.

If I break, if I'm hurt, whatever.

If I could take everything that was good

If I'm not here to start with, just start moving around.

If it was anybody else in my corner

If that round goes another 30 seconds, we may have a new champion.

If this fight had been 10 seconds longer...

If you look hard enough, you can see your whole life from up here.

If you need something.

If you wanna see him, we're gonna have to go up there.

If you would come and stay with me.

In a 12th round against Pretty Ricky Conlan

In a lot of ways.

In and out of juvie.

In one of his city's most hallowed sporting temples.

In the back, in the past.

In the kind of back and forth action

In the red corner, wearing the stars and stripes,

In Tijuana? No, bro.

Is basically whatever the referee

Is it okay I sit down?

Is it true about the kid?

Is the youngest biological son of Apollo Creed.

It ain't easy for me to be in your corner, kid.

It ain't gonna come overnight.
