## Damian "Dame" Anderson

* Let me get an autograph?
* I know I've been away a long time, but I've kept myself in shape. Still got gas in the tank.
* [to Bianca] Oh, he didn't tell you? We was like brothers. I was the best though. But I never got a chance to prove that.
* You don't know what it's like, bro. All that time in them walls. Impossible. They take your name, and they give you a number. That's how it start. I was the best, though.
* If Apollo Creed could take a chance on some underdog, why can't you?
* Oh, you mad? You mad? Try spending half your life in a cell, watching somebody else live your life. You turned your back on me.
* Here. Help yourself up for once. See how it feels.

## Others

* Tony "Little Duke" Evers Jr.: Listen to me. You out there boxing. I need you to start fighting. [...] Let go of the fear! You hear me? Let go of the guilt. Let go of it, dawg! Let go of whatever was, and walk into what is. Go out there and be ferocious, do you hear me? Be ferocious! Go out there and be Adonis Creed!

## Dialogue

    Damien Anderson: Maybe I ain't make myself clear. I want a title shot.
    Adonis Creed: Dame... I don't know what you think, but it don't work like that.
    Dame: Felix so cold, what-- what he got to lose? What you got to lose?
    Adonis: What, you think I can just snap my fingers, make you a contender overnight?
    Dame: Ain't that what happened to you?
    Little Duke: This was a mistake! I told you right away, it was a mistake!
    Adonis: I got it.
    Little Duke: You don't! You let him come in here with a chip on his shoulder! That's exactly...
    Dame: Don't get quiet now, Dukie!
    Little Duke: Man--
    Dame: You remember this? This title? Aye, I'm just getting started, little brother. I'm coming for it all.
    Adonis: And what's that supposed to mean? Are you threatening me?
    [Dame walks up close... And punches Adonis in the face.]
    Dame: Ain't no threats here, bro! Just promises here, homie!
    [Bianca notices Adonis in a drunken stupor]
    Bianca Taylor-Creed: Dee, you have got to open up at some point, I don't know what else to tell you. I need to understand what is going on-
    Adonis: [overlap at "I need to"] You don't need to. What you wanna hear? Some sad story? [stands up] You're trying to feel sorry for me or something?
    Bianca: [stands up] No, I don't want to feel sorry for you. I want to understand you, I want to know what is going on with you in my house!
    Adonis: [overlap at "in my house"] I don't want to talk about anything! [Bianca quiet] I've been trying to forget it! It's dead, leave it, leave it, let it lie! I'm talking about that shit no more. [suddenly sees Amara; it's implied she saw the exchange]
    Bianca: [gasps] You figure out your shit, Dee, because what cannot happen is her seeing you like this. Do you understand? [leaves to tuck Amara to bed]
