  Newspaper man : Tad, you missed the greatest fight of the year. This Marciano's another Dempsy. Louis is through for real now. He should've quit while he was ahead. What are you doing here? I thought you were goin' home. Well, Rocky almost knocked him out of the ring. The kid's got a punch like a ten-ton truck! He'll be the next champ for sure. Well, I'd better go write my story.

  Tad McGeehan : Lou... I'll write the story.

  Newspaper man : But you didn't see the fight.

  Tad McGeehan : I'll write the real story.
