Frankie Dunn: Yeah, I know, Hogan. Your guy's the champ, so we don't split fifties. But if I don't see 40%... Look, you call me back when it's 60-40, or don't call me back at all. Hey, Willie.
Willie: Hey, Frankie.
Frankie Dunn: Is something wrong?
Willie: I’m sorry to come by your house like this. I-I know you don't like people dropping in.
Frankie Dunn: Oh, you're not people, Willie. You're welcome anytime. Come on in.
Willie: I want to thank you for getting Gracie's car back.
Frankie Dunn: Oh, well, you don't have to thank me. Paying an extra thousand dollars for your own car ain't exactly a favor.
Willie: Gracie broke out and cried when she saw it.
Frankie Dunn: Really?
Willie: I also needed to talk with you about business.
Frankie Dunn: Oh, well, I just got off the phone with Hogan. We're all set for September. Everything but the split.
Willie: I gotta leave you, Frankie.
Frankie Dunn: What? Willie, the... the title is just two fights away.
Willie: It ain't that. It’s... it’s like you said, I got one shot. If I win, I gotta make as much as I can while I can. I need somebody in the action, who can make things happen. And I gotta make the change before the fight. Only way this guy say he'd take me is if he took me to the title.
Frankie Dunn: So, I get you to the title fight, and this guy takes you there?
Willie: Only way he'd do it. I’m sorry, Frankie. I know how long you've been waiting on a title. I wish it could've been with me.
Frankie Dunn: Mickey Mack's a businessman. He can't teach you nothing.
Willie: You already taught me everything I need to know.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): There's some things people just don't want to hear.

Priest: Bye.
Woman: Goodbye.
Frankie Dunn: Hey, Father, that was a great sermon. Made me weep.
Priest: What's confusing you this week?
Frankie Dunn: Oh, it's the same old one God, three God thing.
Priest: Frankie, most people figure out by kindergarten it's about faith.
Frankie Dunn: Is it sort of like Snap, Crackle and Pop all rolled up in one big box?
Priest: You're standing outside my church comparing God to Rice Krispies? You only come to Mass every day to wind me up. It’s not going to happen this morning.
Frankie Dunn: Well, I’m confused.
Priest: No, you aren't.
Frankie Dunn: Yes, I am.
Priest: Then here's your answer: There's one God. Anything else? Cos I’m busy.
Frankie Dunn: What about the Holy Ghost?
Priest: An expression of God's love.
Frankie Dunn: And Jesus?
Priest: Son of God. Don't play stupid.
Frankie Dunn: Well, what is he, then? Does that make him a demigod?
Priest: There are no demigods, you fuckin' pagan! Did you write to your daughter?
Frankie Dunn: Absolutely.
Priest: Now you’re lying to a priest. You know what? Take a day off. Don't come to Mass tomorrow.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Some people'd say the most important thing a fighter can have is heart. Frankie'd say ''Show me a fighter with nothing but a heart and I’ll show you a man waiting for a beating.'' Think I only ever met one fighter who was all heart.
Danger Barch: My name's Dangerous Dillard Fightin' Flippo Bam-Bam Barch out of Broward County, Texas!
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Danger showed up a couple of years back. He'd come visiting L.A. with Ervel, his mama's new boyfriend. Apparently, Ervel got lost and ended up back in Texas. Danger looked for him for about a week 'fore he introduced himself.
Woman: Goodbye.
Frankie Dunn: Hey, Father, that was a great sermon. Made me weep.

Crowd: You got him! You got him!
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Only ever met one man I wouldn't want to fight.
Man: I can't stop that.
Frankie Dunn: Here. Get out of here, you useless tit.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): When met him, he was already the best cutman in the business.
Big Willie Little: Can you stop it?
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Started training and managing in the '60s, but he never lost his gift.
Frankie Dunn: No.
Man: Let me have a look at him.
Frankie Dunn: He's fine. He's fine.
Man: Well, he ain't if you don't stop this bleeding.I’ll give you one more round.
Referee: Seconds out. Let's go.
Big Willie Little: What do we do? Tell me what to do.
Frankie Dunn: Let him hit you.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Sometimes, there’s just nothing you can do. Cut's too wide too close to the bone... Maybe you got a severed vein... or you just can't get the coagulant deep enough.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): There are all kinds of combinations you come up against down in the different layers of meat, and Frankie knew how to work every one. People love violence. They slow down at a car wreck to check for bodies. Same people claim to love boxing. They got no idea what it is. Boxing is about respect - getting it for yourself and taking it away from the other guy.
Frankie Dunn: I’ll warm up the car.
Maggie Fitzgerald: Mr Dunn?
Frankie Dunn: Hmm. I owe you money?
Maggie Fitzgerald: No, sir.
Frankie Dunn: I know your mama?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Don't rightly know, sir.
Frankie Dunn: Then what is it you want?
Maggie Fitzgerald: I was on the undercard. I won my fight, too. Maggie Fitzgerald.
Frankie Dunn: Well, Maggie Fitzgerald, what's up?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Did you happen to see it?
Frankie Dunn: Nope.
Maggie Fitzgerald: I did pretty good. Thought you might be interested in training me.
Frankie Dunn: I don't train girls.
Maggie Fitzgerald: Maybe you should. People see me fight say I’m pretty tough.
Frankie Dunn: Girlie, tough ain't enough.
Hogan: It’s a mistake.
Big Willie Little: Car should be able to back up, Frankie.
Frankie Dunn: Just push, will you?
Big Willie Little: What did Hogan want?
Frankie Dunn: Offered us a title shot.
Big Willie Little: 'Bout time.
Frankie Dunn: I turned him down flat. Two or three more fights, you'll be ready.
Big Willie Little: Been two or three more fights for a long time now, Frankie.
Frankie Dunn: Look, Willie, you get one shot at the title. You lose it, it may not come around again. Now, two or three more fights, and we'll be ready.
Big Willie Little: Whatever you say, Frankie.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Frankie liked to say that boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards. Sometimes best way to deliver a punch is step back.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Voice-over): Only ever met one man I wouldn't want to fight.
Man: I can't stop that.

Fast food nation 1
Jack: Okay, okay. There's no shortage of future slogans. Phil, what have you got?
Phil: Well, um, same store sales are up 8.4% this quarter which is just... amazing. And the increase extends across every demographic. It's "tweens," heavy users, minivan dads, even seniors. So, clearly, the Big One is not only a big hit, it is quickly becoming the flagship of our brand.
Dave: Which we'll be building on, both in the upcoming second half of our campaign and in merchandising.
Jack: Terrific. Don, what about those Little Big Ones?
Don: Well, uh, last week, you know, we did a pretty extensive focus group with some of the kids from Martin Luther King Elementary.
Jack: Yeah?
Don: And it went great. Tested 91% in the top three boxes. They loved 'em.
Jack: What is it now, eight to a bag?
Don: No, no, no. You're thinking about theItty Bittys.
Jack: Oh.
Don: No, no. We figure three Little Big Ones for each kid's meal is gonna work out about right. But we wanna do a little more testing on that as well.
Jack: How about Disney?
Don: No word yet.
Dave: Also, the PBS deal doesn't seem to be happening. Uh, apparently Burger King and McDonald's have the Teletubbies alllocked up.
Jack: Fuck 'em.
Don: That's wonderful.
Man: Yeah? You like that? That's the Barbecue Big One.
Don: Wow. Tastes like it's right off the grill.
Man: You don't think it needs… like liquid smoke or any other kind of flavorings?
Don: No. No, no, no. I think it's perfect. Let's test that.
Man: Okay. Try this one.
Don: I don't know.
Man: Yeah. These Caribbean seasonings are kind of tricky.
Don: We're calling 'em Calypso Chicken Tenders. Yeah. I think people are gonna have an expectation for, uh maybe a touch of lime?
Man: Oh, lime? Lime's easy. I just held back on the terpinoline on this to keep the flavorings subtle. But I can always go back and add more.
Don: Yeah. Why don't you try that?
Man: I'll keep working on it.
Phil: Well, um, same store sales are up 8.4% this quarter which is just... amazing. And the increase extends across every demographic. It's "tweens," heavy users, minivan dads, even seniors. So, clearly, the Big One is not only a big hit, it is quickly becoming the flagship of our brand.

Pete: Hey, Sis. Sis-Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey. So, what would you say? Is Cody a better town today or back when we were kids?
Amber’s mother: I know what you would say.
Pete: What?
Amber’s mother: Your uncle hates everything, Amber. You know, I actually think it's better now. There's more stuff to do.
Pete: Oh, yeah. There's more to do. You got the Wal-Mart, the Kmart and the Target, right? You got Chuck E. Cheese. You got Taco Bell. You got Arby's. You got Mickey’s. You got Denny's. You've got, uh, Chili's. You got Applebee's. You got Wendy's. You got Hardee's, right? You got the- the K.F.C., the IHOP. Do they still have that Der Wienerschnitzel?
Amber: Oh, yeah.
Pete: Oh, thank God it's still hanging in there. You know, I don't know about you guys, but I could just piss away a whole Sunday afternoon at the Sunglass Hut.
Amber: Oh, have you ever been to the Sunglass Hut?
Pete: No, I never have. I'm not trying to come off like some Polly Perfect here. Right. I'm going to make some cabinets for some rich New York investment banker fuck who probably spends two weeks a year at his Montana ranch, so don't listen to me.
Amber’s mother: No, I'm not.
Pete: I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to your daughter. You know, I'm probably just going through some full-of-shit, early middle-age period.
Amber: I don't think you're full of shit.
Pete: Thank you. You see, she's so nice. What happened to you?
Amber’s mother: No, no, no, sweetheart, don't contradict your mother. He is full of shit. I don't waste a lot of time thinking about this stuff. Democrats, Republicans--they're all crooks.
Pete: This is why revolutions are meant for the young. If you don't do it now, you're never gonna. Uniform- uniformity. Conform- conformity. Monogamy- monotony.
Amber: No wonder you're not still married.
Amber’s mother: Stupid- stupidity.
Pete: Yeah, look- hey, the facts are not always friendly.
Amber’s mother: Listen to who's giving the lecture here, Amber. Your uncle did not finish college.
Pete: Jesus! Mm-hmm. Oh!
Amber’s mother: Okay? He’d lived in a camper for 18 months.
Pete: An air stream!
Amber’s mother: This is not a role model. Remind me to deprogram you after he leaves.
Amber: Hey, Mom said you got kicked out of college.
Pete: Oh, thanks, Mom.
Amber’s mother: Yeah, your mug shots are in all the papers.
Pete: Yeah, with eight others. I was at Colorado University. Right. We were the C.U. Nine.
Amber’s mother: Yeah, that notorious band of Midwestern, white freedom fighters.
Pete: No, no, no. We took over the chancellor's office. We were protesting the college's investment in South Africa.
Amber: So what happened?
Pete: All right, well, so, after about four hours, they come bursting through this barricade-
Amber’s mother: Okay, that was two chalkboards.
Pete: It's not two chalkboards. We had a bunch of ropes with some chair. Look, they practically beat the shit out of all of us. They treated us like a band of terrorists.
Amber’s mother: You got your little ass kicked out of college - which he never finished.
Pete: Big deal.
Amber’s mother: It cost our dad $2,000 in legal fees.
Pete: Which I eventually paid him back. Anyway, meanwhile-cut to-About a year later, the college divests all its holdings in South Africa and a little while after that, Nelson Mandela is a free man.
Amber’s mother: All because of the "C.U. Nine."
Pete: No, nobody said that. Nobody even thought that, all right. The point is... that, you know, if enough people start thinking about something and trying to actually do something, you can change things for the better.
Amber: I believe that.
Amber’s mother: Well, I hope they can change for the better.
Pete: Don't just hope. You can't sit back and hope. You have to do something. In a town like this, hope will kill you. It's your move.
Amber’s mother: I know what you would say.
Pete: What?

From the earth to the moon
Alan Bean: Maybe we weren't dignified enough to be heroes. It wouldn't matter. 'Cause we were the second mission to land on the moon. History's ultimate anticlimax. But somehow, I fit right in. in fact, flying with Pete and Dick was the sweetest thing about the mission for me. We were a true team. At one point, I even kind of saved the day. I didn't know what to expect. I was a complete rookie, remember. Sure we’d done countless simulated launches so I did the same things I did during all of those.
Alan Bean: Roger, STC. Main bus tie bat B/C switch, on, up.
Alan Bean: I kept busy checking the console, making sure my end of our command module, Yankee Clipper, was ready to go.
Pete Conrad: Looks like this launch is gonna be a wet one.
Richard Gordon: No big deal for an all-Navy crew. We can handle it.
Alan Bean: The rain was considered a bother, but nothing to worry about.
Mission control: Apollo 12, you are go for launch. Go for launch.
Pete Conrad: Roger. SDC Go for launch.
Alan Bean: Me and my best buddies were ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
Pete Conrad: Al Bean, you are going to the moon.
Alan Bean: Y'all can come along if you like.
Mission control: 13, 12, 11, ten, nine--We have ignition sequence start. The engines are on. Four, three, two, one, zero.
Alan Bean: The first few moments after liftoff, you're vibrating pretty good.
Pete Conrad: The clock is running.
Alan Bean: Then you really start to move.
Mission control: Clear the tower.
Pete Conrad: Roger. Clear the tower. I got a pitch-and-roll program, and this baby is really going. Roll complete.
Mission control: Mark one bravo.
Pete Conrad: Got you on that.
Alan Bean: This thing moves, doesn't it?
Pete Conrad: Baby!
Alan Bean: We had just over half a minute of trouble-free launch and then all hell busted loose.
Pete Conrad: What the hell was that? I just lost a whole bunch of stuff.
Richard Gordon: We just had a whole bunch of buses drop out. What have we got here? A/C bus 1 light, all the fuel cells.
Pete Conrad: Okay, Houston, now, we just lost the platform, gang. I don't know what happened. We had everything drop out. I got three fuel cell lights, an A/C bus light, a fuel cell disconnect, A/C bus overload 1 and 2, main bus A and B out. We had some big glitch here.
Alan Bean: I got A/C.
Pete Conrad: Got A/C? Yes maybe it's the indicator. What's on the main bus?
Alan Bean: 24 volts. That's low.
Pete Conrad: We've got a short of some kind, but I can't believe that's accurate.
Mission control: Flight, EECOM.
Gerry Griffin: Go, EECOM.
John Aaron: I think it's a fuel cell bus failure. They've been thrown off-line somehow. That must be why we're getting garbage here. Can they try SCE to aux?
Alan Bean: Gerry Griffin had never heard that command before. I’m pretty sure most of the people in Mission Control hadn't.
Gerry Griffin: Tell them.
Mission control: Apollo 12, Houston. Try SCE to auxiliary. Over.
Pete Conrad: FCE to auxiliary? What the hell is that?
Alan Bean: I'm not sure even Pete knew what that was, but one person did.
Alan Bean: I know what that is. SCE to aux.
Mission control: We're getting good telemetry from you guys again. Try to reset your fuel cells.
Alan Bean: Reset fuel cells.
Richard Gordon: Wait for staging.
Pete Conrad: Wait for staging. Yes. Hang on. Okay, Houston. GDC is good. We got a good S-2, gang.
Mission control: We copy that, Pete. You're looking good.
Alan Bean: Poor Gerry Griffin. We were his first mission as flight director and he had dealt along with more malfunctions than anybody had ever seen.
Pete Conrad: Ok, now we'll straighten out our problems here.
Richard Gordon: I don't know what happened. I'm not sure we didn't get hit by lightning.
Alan Bean: That's exactly what had happened. Before even our first stage had finished doing its job, observers back on the ground later reported that not just one but two bolts of lightning rode our exhaust contrail all the way back down to the pad and hit the tower.
Alan Bean: Roger, STC. Main bus tie bat B/C switch, on, up.
Alan Bean: I kept busy checking the console, making sure my end of our command module, Yankee Clipper, was ready to go.
Pete Conrad: Looks like this launch is gonna be a wet one.

Gerry Griffin: Go, EECOM.
John Aaron: I think it's a fuel cell bus failure. They've been thrown off-line somehow. That must be why we're getting garbage here. Can they try SCE to aux?
Alan Bean: Gerry Griffin had never heard that command before. I’m pretty sure most of the people in Mission Control hadn't.
Gerry Griffin: Tell them.
Mission control: Apollo 12, Houston. Try SCE to auxiliary. Over.
Pete Conrad: FCE to auxiliary? What the hell is that?
Alan Bean: I'm not sure even Pete knew what that was, but one person did.
Alan Bean: I know what that is. SCE to aux.
Mission control: We're getting good telemetry from you guys again. Try to reset your fuel cells.
Alan Bean: Reset fuel cells.
Richard Gordon: Wait for staging.
Pete Conrad: Wait for staging. Yes. Hang on. Okay, Houston. GDC is good. We got a good S-2, gang.
Mission control: We copy that, Pete. You're looking good.
Alan Bean: Poor Gerry Griffin. We were his first mission as flight director and he had dealt along with more malfunctions than anybody had ever seen.
Pete Conrad: Ok, now we'll straighten out our problems here.
Richard Gordon: I don't know what happened. I'm not sure we didn't get hit by lightning.
Alan Bean: That's exactly what had happened. Before even our first stage had finished doing its job, observers back on the ground later reported that not just one but two bolts of lightning rode our exhaust contrail all the way back down to the pad and hit the tower.

Hotel Rwanda Movie is Retelling of Human
By Brian Purchia Ten years ago in the small African nation of Rwanda, Hutu extremists slaughtered almost a million of their Tutsi neighbors as well as any moderate Hutus. One man, Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager, was able to save more than a thousand refugees from certain death. His story has become a movie, "Hotel Rwanda." It was recently screened at the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, and VOA's Brian Purchia was there. Blood flowed in Rwanda for a hundred days in 1994. When it was over almost a million people were dead. As Rwandans butchered and shot each other the world closed its eyes. Joaquin Phoenix plays a photojournalist covering the massacre. JOAQUIN PHOENIX - in movie"I think if people see this footage they'll say, 'Oh my God, that's horrible,' and go on eating their dinners." 'Hotel Rwanda' tells the true story of Paul Rusesabagina and how, through courage and cunning, he was able to save more than 1200 refugees from Hutu death squads. DON CHEADLE - in movie"There will be no rescue, no intervention force. We can only save ourselves." Paul, a hotel manager in the nation's capital, Kigali, opened his luxury hotel to Rwandans trying to escape the genocide. Paul is played by Don Cheadle. DON CHEADLE, ACTOR"It was an amazing privilege, I think, to be able to tell Paul's story." The real-life hero was on hand for the screening. PAUL RUSESABAGINA"People were not informed, people were not aware of what was happening. The average American was not informed, some few politicians and few journalists were only aware, but the average American was not." JOAQUIN PHOENIX - in movie"Excuse me honey, can I ask you a personal question? Are you a Hutu or a Tutsi?" ACTRESS"I am Tutsi." JOAQUIN PHOENIX"And your friend, Tutsi?" ACTRESS"No, I am Hutu." JOAQUIN PHOENIX"They could be twins." NARRATORSofia Okonedo plays Paul's wife, Tatiana. She hopes the movie will raise awareness about other conflicts. SOPHIE OKONEDO, ACTRESS"If somehow it resonates with an audience and they felt slightly different or take a little bit more interest in reading about it, Sudan or Ivory Coast or the Congo, then our job is done." DON CHEADLE, ACTOR"I also hope in just a very basic way that the film entertains and that people are sort of swept up in the telling of the story, because the story it really is a thriller with a real love story at its core." The movie left quite an impression on the audience at the premier. ED RACKLEY, MOVIEGOER"It shows the power of individuals to respond to an overwhelming crisis." 'Hotel Rwanda' has already won two prestigious awards: the People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival and the American Film Institute's Audience Award. The movie opens nationwide in American theaters in mid-December.
