♪ (Music playing on stereo)

(Music stops)

Hello.

Hello!

Anybody here?

♪ (Music playing on stereo)

(Music stops)

MacGyver!

Dent.

Yeah. Nobody answered the door.

That's because nobody was home.



I got to talk to
you. Right away.

Really?

I need you to help
me get in shape.

I'm gonna box again.

Box?

Earl: Yeah.

I was the number five ranked
heavyweight in the world

before they sent
me up to folsom.

Get out of here.

Yep, and I was heavyweight
champ in the joint, too.

And you know how tough
some of those guys are.

Earl,

you've definitely come
to the wrong place.

I hate boxing. I
think it's barbaric.



Some people say the
same things about hockey.

Yeah, well, I happen
to have hope for hockey.

MacGyver, all I'm asking is

for you to help me get in shape.

You ate everything.

It's all gone.

I'm a heavyweight.

Heavyweights eat.

Listen, MacGyver, if
you're not too busy,

uh, I also need a
character witness.

Now?

Trust me. It won't take long.

Earl, look,

I've been gone a week,
I'm tired, I'm hungry.

Isn't there somebody else?

There's nobody else.

Besides, there's somebody
I'd like you to meet.

Come on. Okay?

Please.

Okay.

Hey, Earl.

You know her?

My daughter.

Uh, Veronica.

This is a friend of
mine, MacGyver.

Hi, Veronica.

The name's Ronnie.

I changed it.

How could you change it?

My mother's name was Veronica.

So? I never met her.

Besides, Ronnie
gets more respect.

It's not so fancy.

- Listen, Veronica...
- Ronnie!

Okay, Ronnie.

MacGyver and I got to go inside.

We'll be right back.

Whatever.

Unruly behavior,

lying, cheating, stealing.

It's quite a file
for a 14-year-old.

But not all that surprising.

Considering the
number of foster homes

Veronica's been placed in

Since her mother
died five years ago.

Yeah, well, what she
needs is her father.

What she needs, Mr. Dent,
is a stable environment.

But then you brought
Mr. MacGyver along

To support the idea that you
can provide that, didn't you?

In spite of your
unfortunate past.

Tell her, MacGyver.

Well, I do know that Mr. Dent

Is sincere in his effort
to change his life.

And you are willing to
provide a roof over their heads

Until Mr. Dent proves
himself financially secure?

See? I told you, he
was some kind of a guy.

Clarice: Well, this
isn't going to be easy.

Both of you are
almost strangers to her.

And Veronica has learned
not to trust very many people.

She's my kid.

I love her.

That's gotta count
for somethin'.

How do you plan
on providing for her?

Fighting. You know, boxing.

A boxer?

You call that a
stable profession?

Why, you don't... you
don't understand, ma'am.

I'm not just some bum.

I was a ranked heavyweight.
I made good money.

Well, it's also hardly the
healthiest environment

for a 14-year-old girl.

It's what I do.

You shuffle papers. I box.

I mean, I got this
match all lined up.

And with the purse,

I'll be able to provide
a great environment.

Clarice: Uh-huh.

I guess you're just
going to have to show me.

Oh, we will.

You see, MacGyver's
going to be my trainer.

You are a good
friend, Mr. MacGyver.

Thanks.

I prefer to see children remain

with their natural parents
whenever possible.

But if you don't show
me that you can provide

a suitable environment
for Veronica,

I will recommend that
her current foster parents

Get permanent custody.

25 grand, MacGyver.

One fight, and I got a
bodacious bank account

And my daughter.

Earl, I did not agree
to help you train.

MacGyver, I'm desperate.

You heard her.

I got three weeks
to prove myself.

And the fight's in two weeks.

So why don't you train at a gym

like a normal human being?

Well, uh...

What? What'd you do?

- I sort of burned some Bridges.
- I'm shocked.

I mean, a lot of guys, uh,

ain't so glad to see me anymore.

(Metallic rattling)

What...

(Can clanging)

What are you doing?

Following in your footsteps.

You want a freebie?

Veronica, that's wrong.

Right, sure, you're the expert.

And it's Ronnie, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Look at this face.

Is she a chip off the
old block or what? Huh?

I guess it's gonna
take a while, huh?

We'd better get started, bud.

Veronica?

Ronnie!

Earl: Come on, okay,
okay, Ronnie. Wait up.

So, I guess this will
be the training room.

Sure got a lot of junk.

Thanks. I'm a pack rat.

Kinda keeps some good
memories alive, you know.

That's why I throw
everything away.

You serious about turning
this place into a gym?

Yeah, why not?

Just give me a
little time, okay?

Earl: Okay, you got it.

Come on, Ronnie, how
about we go pick up some grub

at the market while
MacGyver gets set up.

Whatever.

(Engine starting)

Ronnie: Go for it, Earl!

Earl: He's up and
deep! Oh, we got it.

Ronnie: Hey, nice catch.

Hey, watch it, jerk!

Sorry. Just touched it.

Any scratches, you pay, pal!

Earl: I told you, I
barely touched it.

Man: It's a brand new car!

Oh, nice move, Earl.

Hey, you better thank
him for saving your car.

What? Are you two
looking for trouble?

Come on. Ignore him. Let's go.

Hey, come on back here,
I'm not done with you!

You're lucky I'm a nice guy!

You could have taken him easy.

Why, what's that gonna prove?

That you're not a wimp.

There are other ways.

So? I lifted them.

What's the matter with you?

I thought I told you to cool it.

You want me to be
perfect like you, huh?

I didn't say that.

So like how come all of a sudden

you want custody of me, anyway?

You're my kid. I
wanna be with you.

I've been your kid for 14 years.

Not that you ever noticed.

Hey, come on, give
me a break, okay?

You had a lousy time
and it was my fault.

I admit it.

So what do you want?

What do you want?

A chance to make up for it.

Yeah, right.

Hey, where you goin'?

To pay for those
wrestling cards,

so my kid doesn't end up

in a six foot cell like
her old man did, huh?

Wow, what is that?

Uh, well, I'll show you.

Earl, give that thing a punch.

(Veronica chuckles)

Yeah, it measures the power
of your punch and endurance.

Keep the liquid up and climbing.

You got to be kidding.

Uh-uh.

You, young lady,

you're gonna keep track
of your dad's progress

on that board, all right?

Ronnie: Cool!

Weak.

What's this?

Uh, well, for lack of
a better name for it,

we'll call it

A punching machine.

Watch.

Huh?

MacGyver, I'm fighting
crazy Eddie Jackson,

not an octopus.

Oh, come on, you
got to give it a try.

Obviously it takes two.

You're the controller.

Me?

Yeah, you.

You did a pretty good job
with that candy machine,

I figured you could handle this.

Look, it's real simple.

You got on-off switches
for top, middle, and bottom.

Go ahead.

Boy, am I gonna
work his butt off.

Uh, what kind of
contraption do you have

to work out the legs?

A jump rope.

Okay Earl, take your tie off.

Oh, this is gonna be...

Earl: Oh, a sucker punch, huh?

(Grunting)

- (Groaning)
- Oops, sorry.

Earl: Listen, speed it up, kid.

(Earl punching)

Ah...

I've got it right.

Earl: Bam!

Riggins: Hello, Earl.

Nice gym.

For what, I don't
know, but nice.

What do you want?

This your kid?

Sure she is.

Your old man could
have been the champ, kid.

Thing is, he didn't have
the brains to listen to me.

Dumb. Real dumb.

Ronnie, go upstairs.

Help MacGyver put
away the groceries.

MacGyver said I should
stay here with you.

I said go upstairs!

All right!

We're here to check
on our investment.

Got a lot riding on you.

Remember the
deal? Dive in eight.

(Exhales)

Your kid, Earl, it's
for your kid, right?

I said I'd do it, all right?

You keep my kid out of this,

or you're gonna get
your brains scrambled.

Hey, Mr. Riggins
don't have to take that

from no jailbird bum.

Earl: Oh, yeah?

Bailey: You better believe it.

MacGyver: Earl?

Yeah. Oh, uh,

this is my old manager,

Bart riggins and his,
uh, assistant, uh, Bailey.

They're here to wish me
luck. You know, the fight.

I trained him for five years.

Put a lot of bread in him.

Don't disappoint me.

(Sighs)

Where's Ronnie?

She's upstairs. I told
her to help you out.

She's not there.

What?

Oh, no, she can't be. Not again!

The last time she was
gone for six months.

I'm gonna lose her for sure!

All right, settle down.

Um, grab the Jeep,
I'll get the bike.

(Jeep engine starting)

I know how you feel, Ronnie.

Leave me alone.

I ran away from home one time.

When my grandpa
told me to get lost.

Who cares?

Well, I did.

I didn't understand what
he was doing. Or why.

Oh, and now you do, right?

That's right.

He was trying to protect me.

Just like your dad's
trying to protect you.

From who?

Well, I don't know.
Maybe from himself.

You know, he hasn't had a
lot of practice in raising a kid.

You got to give
him a little time.

I don't know.

He's always on my case.

Well, he's supposed to.

That's what dads do.

(Car honking)

Where you been?

Running away. Just
like you're always doin'.

You and your fight.

You know something?
I think you're all wind.

I don't think there is a fight.

- Earl...
- Earl: There is a fight!

When I tell you something,
that's it! I don't lie.

Oh yeah? Prove it.

- All right, that's enough.
- No!

No way any kid of mine's
gonna think I'm a liar.

Now get in here!

And you, you follow!

Earl: There you go.

Crazy Eddie Jackson
versus yours truly.

This proof enough for you?

Okay, I was wrong.

Hey, at least you know now

that your old man's
word is worth something.

Rocketman?

Yeah. That's what
they used to call me.

Short fuse. Lots of power.

Get it?

Got it.

You're not the main event here.

Hey, I've been away, remember?

Man: Hey, you have a good
time on me, my man, huh?

Wow!

It's Herman the German.

- Who?
- Hey, Herman,

I hear a rumor you matched
mad Mike and wretched Rodney.

Ain't no rumor, kid.

Here, take a friend, huh?

Wow.

He's only the
greatest wrestler ever.

Oh come on, Ronnie, all
that wrestling stuff is fake.

No, it's not, it's
great. Let's go inside.

Ronnie, we got to get
back. I got to get to work.

Just for just one
minute? Come on.

(Men grunting)

Ooo-wee! What
stinks around here?

There it is. There it is.

Old meat, past its prime.

Hello, Stinson.

I don't want you around here. I
don't want my fighter to see you.

- There'll be trouble.
- I'm just showing my kid the gym.

Well, I'll just show you
and the kid the door.

Eddie: Hey, dent?

Spend much time with
your kid the last five years?

I'm warning you, Eddie.

You don't want to
start talking like that.

Hey, what you worried about?

If your kid is as
dumb as her old man,

she won't even understand it.

Oh yeah? That's what
you think, wise guy.

She's smarter than both
of us put together, Eddie.

And if you ever
put her down again,

I'll tear you apart.

How about now, dent?
Right now, come on up here.

I don't give a damn about $4000.

- Come on up here!
- All right, you're on.

Stinson: No, dent, no!

Somebody call the cops,
somebody call the paper,

somebody call somebody!

Oh, they're fighting
for free! I can't stand it!

Stinson: No, dent,
aw! Look at these two...

I knew it, I knew it!

(Groaning)

Stinson: Oh, come on, you
guys, what are you doing?

No, no, no, no. Don't, no...

come on. Hey, hey, hey,
what do you think this is,

the golden gloves? You're
prize fighters that fight.

Get out of here.
Dent, get out of here.

- Come on!
- Stinson: Eddie, Eddie, shut up.

Dent, get out of
here, get out of here.

Stinson: Okay, Eddie, come on,
come on, get back to your work out now!

- Come on! Move it! Move it!
- Come on, let's get out of here.

Stinson: All right, all right,
all right, come on, come on...

My nose.

Stinson: Come on, come on, come on,
way to go, way to go, Eddie. Looking good.

Is it broke?

Leave me alone.

After you, rocketman.

Oh.

I'm sorry I thought there
wasn't any fight, Earl.

Ah, forget it.

You better get some sleep, kid.

We got a lot to do tomorrow.

You really want me around, huh?

Hey, come on.

Who's gonna work those crazy
machines MacGyver dreamed up?

Oh yeah, that's right.

'Night.

What are you doing?

Oh, this stuff's
for your corner.

Ooh. It's cold.

Yeah. Sodium thiosulphate.

It's a photographic fixer.

Just add water,

Instant cold pack.

Oh, I get it. To
handle the cuts.

So you just chill this
iron, press it to the cut,

and, presto, stops the bleeding.

Yep.

You lied to me, Earl.

What are you talkin' about?

You're gonna throw
the fight, aren't you?

No!

What's the matter with you?

Crazy Eddie gets
$4000 for the fight,

And you get $25,000?

You want to explain that to me?

You heard the lady.

I have three weeks to
come up with enough

To provide for Ronnie
or I lose her. Forever.

Maybe that's just as well

if this is where
you're coming from.

What is that supposed to mean?

Figure it out.

You're all over Ronnie
for stealing candy bars,

and you're about
to throw a fight.

Just this once,
so I get custody.

Then I'm giving it up.

And you don't think
Ronnie's gonna know?

She's got eyes, Earl.
She'll see right through you.

Now come on.

She doesn't need
a buddy or a pal.

She needs a father to
teach her right from wrong.

Even if it hurts.

Yeah.

(Door opening)

(Door closing)

I stole them.

At the gym.

But I'll take them
back, I swear.

(Grunting)

(Phone rings)

(All chattering)

$5,000 on dent at one to five?

Take it.

I just took $20,000 on
crazy Eddie at five to one.

Lay it off. Out of town.

Commentator: Inside
the final, 16th of a mile.

(Phone ringing)

He's drawing away
from the wheel.

Are you kidding?
Dent's one to five.

He almost murdered crazy
Eddie when they fought in prison.

I have to talk to you.

$25,000. No renegotiating.

I don't want your cash.

What?

The fix is off. Over. Done.

Says who?

If you're copping
out, dent, forget it.

You're in too deep.

You can't threaten me, riggins.

Not when my kid's
future's on the line.

Your kid?

If you don't come through,
your kid's an orphan.

For the first time in my
life, I don't care about me.

My mind's made up. It's off.

Riggins: I'm warning you, dent.

If you think I'm gonna let
some washed up jailbird

do me out of 200 grand,

you got another thing coming!

See you at the fight.

You want I should bust him up?

You moron, he's got a fight!

If you want to control a man,

control what he
cares about the most.

(Clears throat)

No, I'll tell you
what I want, Bailey.

I want dent's daughter.

(Earl grunting)

You should have seen the look

on the faces of those sharks

when I told them I wasn't
gonna throw the fight.

And you still think
boxing's a sport, huh?

Well, maybe I
should pull out, huh?

I mean, the $4,000 I'm making

isn't gonna provide
diddly for Ronnie.

Well, it's a start.

You can still get
a job, you know.

Maybe get the commission
to delay a decision.

The truth is Ronnie
doesn't need me

Nearly as much as I need her.

Hi. Where you been?

I... i took the gloves
back to the gym.

Ronnie: Are you still mad at me?

I wasn't mad at you.

I was just worried.

But I should have known

my daughter would have
made the right decision.

I am so proud of you.

- So...
- Hey!

- You still need a trainer?
- You bet.

- How about the heavy bag?
- Okay.

Get over there while I
knock the stuffings out of it.

Okay, Earl.

Hold it real tight.

Give it all you got.

(Grunts)

Go, go, go, go, go,
go go, go, go, go, go!

You've done good,
Earl, you've done good.

So did you, MacGyver.

Yeah.

Your gizmos paid off
in more ways than one.

Thanks.

You bet.

Uh, I'll get it set up, okay?

- 6:30 for you?
- You got it.

All right.

Do you think we'll get
an apartment or a house?

Huh? Oh, uh, an
apartment, I guess.

Riggins: Almost
fight time, Earl.

Get out of here.

(Snickering)

You are not seeing
the big picture.

Hey, let go of me!

Hey, riggins...

I'm not in the business
of hurting people, Earl.

But I do want to look
after my interests.

Now we have a deal.
You go down in eight.

They want you
to throw the fight?

Smart kid.

Don't do it, dad.

I said I would at first,
because we need the money.

You did it to get me?

You must really want me.

More than anything, kid.

The last few days have
been the best of my life.

No matter how things work
out, I want you to know that.

Same here, Earl.

That's enough. I'm gonna cry.

And don't give them any
lip. Just do as they say.

That goes for you, too, dent.

(People chattering)

(People cheering)

(Man whistling)

Hey, I don't see Ronnie.

Maybe she's getting a soda.

Announcer: And now,
ladies and gentlemen,

Today's semi-main event.

An outstanding match
between two former

Folsom prison
heavyweight champions.

In this corner,
wearing white trunks,

crazy Eddie Jackson!

(People cheering)

and in black trunks,

the former fifth ranked
heavyweight of the world,

Earl rocketman dent.

(People cheering)

Earl, I still don't see her.

Don't worry about her.
Let's just get this over with.

Referee: Let's
go, Earl, come on.

Okay, Earl, Eddie, I
gave you instructions

In the dressing room. Let's
have a good clean fight.

Let's go out now.

Commentator on radio: Good
evening, ladies and gentlemen,

this is Jim lampley at ringside.

Tonight's eight rounds,

- semi-main event between these two...
- Hey, kid! Sit tight.

Former prison
heavyweight champions

promises to be
a bruising battle.

The referee has
completed his instructions,

so hang on to your
seats as here we go.

Now remember, in
their one previous bout,

- Earl rocketman dent...
- This should be a good fight.

- Won a fifth-round knockout over Jackson...
- Wish I could see it.

- And the odds favor him...
- Bailey, move over.

To repeat that
victory here tonight.

(Bell dings)

And there's the bell.

The two men now move
to the center of the ring

and begin to circle cautiously.

Crazy Eddie moves in quickly

And tries to
establish the left jab.

Jab, jab. Too low. And
crazy Eddie Jackson...

The body. Go for the
ribs! Go for the ribs!

The right hand.

Dent is forced to back
pedal as all the action early

is dominated by Jackson.

(Commentator
continues chattering)

Two right crosses

And dent is rocked
backward by the...

(Grunting)

a left and a right and Jackson
is driven back into the ropes.

A momentary advantage for dent.

But he didn't press it.

He lets Jackson
come back at him.

And now coming
off of the ropes...

Okay, get off there.

Let him go, Earl,
let him go, Earl.

(Referee chattering)

What a round so far.

I told you, he's gonna
murder dent, huh?

And it is all crazy
Eddie Jackson

As we are late in
round number one.

(Commentator chattering)

(Bell dings)

There's the bell.
The end of round one.

What a brilliant round
for crazy Eddie Jackson.

(People applauding)

All right, Earl. Where's Ronnie?

Just stay out of
it. They've got her.

Just leave me alone and
let me do what I got to do.

Where'd they take her, Earl?

I don't know.

Well, where'd you find them?

The machine shop
across the street.

That's where
riggins runs his book.

All right, Earl, hang in there.

You might not
have to throw this.

(Bell dings)

commentator on radio:
And Earl rocketman dent

was clearly overshadowed
by crazy Eddie Jackson.

Thanks mostly to
superior body punching.

Sounds like our boy got smart.

(Bell dings)

And here we go, round six.

Check on the girl.
See how she's doing.

Both fighters move
out, probing, with jabs.

Dent moves in,
looking for an opening,

But he's met by a left
hook directly to the face.

Crazy Eddie, keeping
dent at a distance.

Two jabs from crazy Eddie.

Then two quick
rights to the head.

Another right by
Jackson, and another.

And again, it is
Jackson taking control

of the action in the sixth.

She's doing better
than her old man.

It is all crazy Eddie
Jackson, right now.

Hey, look at that guy, no guts!

Hold on. When I tell
you to break, break.

And now it is Jackson who
is controlling all the action.

And what a surprise.

Dent, what a shell of
the man who had won 27

of 38 previous
bouts by knockout.

(Commentator
continues chattering)

Crazy Eddie smiles as the
referee breaks them apart.

Believe me, there
is no love lost

between these two fighters,

in or out of the ring.

Now crazy Eddie...

Dent replies with
a left and a right.

Dent missing now, with
a wild roundhouse right.

Wild action. And
dent a little bit off-kilter.

Both fighters exhausted now.
Neither man ready to yield.

Crazy Eddie following with a
jab now, just pushing it out there...

There's no snap in that punch.

Dent leans forward...

(Bell dings)

And there's the bell.

The end of round six.

We'll be back for
the seventh round...

Psst.

Hey, could you turn
the radio up a little?

Here we go now for round
seven of a very close fight.

And once again, as
the seventh begins,

crazy Eddie
forces the initiative.

The rocketman backs off,

weaving and bobbing,

trying to stay away
from crazy Eddie's hands.

Oh, crazy Eddie
with a right cross!

And a left. And another right.

What a combination!

Dent is in the biggest
trouble in the fight.

Crazy Eddie moving in,

all too aware of dent's
massive rocket punch

That floored him for the
count in their previous bout.

No question the rocketman
is more dangerous than...

with an uppercut.
Dent backpedaling.

Crazy Eddie all over him...

Looking for an opening...

it's all crazy Eddie
Jackson right now.

Jackson all over him.

Dent dances with the right
hand. And now he hangs on.

The referee separates
the two fighters

And dent backs
away inexplicably.

Crazy Eddie with a
combination to the body,

and follows up with an uppercut.

Dent with a feeble right,

but now crazy
Eddie two more lefts,

and dent is backed up
against the ropes again.

- Rocketman dent...
- Do you hear something?

- Too tired to press any advantage...
- Take a look.

- Even at those moments when he seems in control...
- In a minute.

Round seven moving
toward a close now.

And crazy Eddie swings
away freely with both hands,

trying to land the one punch

That will settle
matters once and for all.

You okay?

I'm fine. What about Earl?

It is dent backing up crazy
Eddie with a right and a left

and lands a right hand...

(Bell dings)

What's the matter,
Earl, you got no guts?

Having pummeled
dent against the ropes.

Oh, rocketman dent was once the
fifth ranked heavyweight in the world,

but he's in big trouble here.

Well, I'll tell you, with
seven rounds in the books...

Bailey: She's getting away!

Well, stop her!

Rocketman dent, who was once

the number five
heavyweight in the world...

(Engine starting)

(Bell dings)

Here we go now.
Round number eight.

Crazy Eddie Jackson, always cool
and moving toward the center of the ring,

a very tired Earl
rocketman dent...

MacGyver: Come on!

Come on, get out of my way!

I'm stuck!

Knocks dent against the ropes...

And a right and a
left and dent is down!

(Laughing) Way to do it, Eddie!

- One, two...
- Ronnie: Earl, don't do it!

Three...

Get up Earl, get up!

Come on, you
can do it. I'm okay.

- Five...
- Ronnie: I'm okay.

- Six...
- I'm okay.

Come on Earl, I
know you can do it.

- Seven, eight, nine...
- I know you can do it. Get up!

That's it, get up!

Come on Earl, go for it.

- Are you all right?
- Yes and don't you try to stop me!

Okay, let's go.

Yes, go for it!

As he moves forward
and lands a left and a right.

This is wildly with a left and
another right hand and another.

And Jackson is
driven into a corner

and suddenly helpless
against the onslaught.

Way to go, rocketman!

Ha! You see?

Just moments ago dent
appeared on the verge

of being knocked out.

Now suddenly we see he's
mounted a big comeback.

Jackson reeling in
the center of the ring.

Now rocketman winds up with a
bolo punch. And down goes Jackson.

Yes!

Referee: One, two, three,

Four, five, six, seven...

Jackson saved by the bell!

Saved by the bell in
round number eight,

and what a wild finish!

You did it, Earl. You won.

Showed a lot of heart
out there, big guy.

Thanks, MacGyver.

I owe it all to my
little trainer here.

Ladies and gentlemen!

We have a unanimous decision.

You won!

The winner, crazy Eddie Jackson!

No way, we were robbed!

Hey Ronnie, all that
matters is that you're safe.

You were great.

Think so?

I love you, dad.

Dad?

Is she some kid or what?

Oh, it's not so bad.
He hardly touched you.

Yeah. For a freight train,
he was a real pushover.

You know, Earl,
I've been thinking.

We don't need a house.

An apartment will be just fine.

Look, Ronnie,

the money I ended up with,

no way is that gonna
satisfy that lady down there

at the children's services.

Maybe you'd be better off

with your foster
parents after all.

Oh, no way. I'm not leaving.

We'll move to another state.

Running away isn't
gonna help either of us.

Well, maybe she'll give us
more time to get the money.

Hey, Earl, big guy.

Got somebody who
wants to talk to you here.

Hey, dent, great fight.

You've got a lot of
class, a lot of style.

The kind of man
I'd like to manage.

Uh, sorry. I quit boxing.

Boxing? Who said boxing?

I'm talking about wrestling.

Hey, the way you
worked the crowd.

Magic. Pure show biz.

Listen, I've got a $30,000
advance against a guarantee of...

He'll do it, he'll take it!

Rocketman, we'll get
you a great costume.

I don't know. MacGyver?

Well, a good athlete
always listens to his trainer.

Yeah, I guess he does.

I think we could work
something out here.

All right!
