Act of persuasion

The Exchange of words between the Boxing commission panellist and Rocky Balboa. This is something I call Act of persuasion. He gets the First class Boxing licence at his 50's.

"Rocky: Yo, Don’t I got some right?
Panellist: What rights do you think you are referring to?
Rocky: Rights, like in that official piece of paper. That they wrote down on the streets there
Panellist: That’s the bill of rights.
Rocky: Yeah, Yeah, the bill of right.
Rocky: Don’t it say something about going after what makes you happy?
Panellist: No, That’s the pursuit of happiness. But, what’s your point?
Rocky: My point is I’m pursuing something and nobody looks too happy about it.
Panellist: But we're just looking out for your interest.
Rocky: I appreciate that, but maybe you're looking out for your interests just a little bit more.
Rocky: I mean, you shouldn't been asking people to come down here and pay the freight on something they paid, it still ain't good enough, I mean, you think that's right?
Rocky: I mean, maybe you're doing your job, but why you gotta stop me from doing mine?
Rocky: Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling, you got to go through to get where you want to get, who’s got the right to stop you?
Rocky: I mean, maybe some of you guys got something you never fill in, something you really wanna do, something you never said to somebody, something!
Rocky: And you're told "No", even after you have paid your dues.
Rocky: Who's got the right to tell you that? Who? Nobody!
Rocky: It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no. After you earn the right to be what you wanna be, and do what you wanna do!


Rocky: You know, the older I get, the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life.
Rocky: The only thing I'm asking you guys is to leave on the table... ...is what's right."
