Jergens:
Balboa, George Jergens. Take a chair please. Mr. Balboa.

Rocky:
Call me Rocky sir.

Jergens:
Tell me Rocky, you've got any representation of a manager?

Rocky:
No just me.

Jergens:
Rocky I've got a proposition I'd like to make to you.

Rocky:
Sparring?

Jergens:
I beg your pardon?

Rocky:
Well, I'm interested. I know you're looking for sparring partners and I just want to say I'm very available you know.

Jergens:
I'm sure you are.

Rocky:
Absolutely. Sparring with the champ would be an honor and you know what, Mr. Jergens?

Jergens:
What?

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

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

Rocky:
No.

Jergens:
Listen Rocky, Apollo's seen you fight. He likes you and he wants to fight you.

Rocky:
It's just that you see I fight in clubs you know. I'm really a ham-and-egger and this guy's the best. It wouldn't be such a good fight. Thank you very much though, I appreciate it.

Jergens:
Rocky, do you believe that America is the land of opportunity?

Rocky:
Yes.

Jergens:
Apollo Creed does. He's going to 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?
