So, you know, I like to keep, you know, playing other sports.
I don't just like playing golf.
I like all the sports.
What about your attitude of relaxing throughout a tournament?
How do you approach it on a course?
Well, I mean, if you're in with a chance, you don't relax.
You're nervous. You're trying to hang in there.
You don't want to blow a chance to win a tournament.
And, you know, do you just handle it as the thing goes on?
If someone's making birdies at you, obviously, you have to,
you know, be more aggressive or whatever.
But on the whole, you try not to get too worked out one way or the other.
A little bit into and cross with the players.
Trying to get that ball to turn right to left.
Oh, beautiful shot.
Oh, wow.
Laura Davies, a fantastic competitor.
A special program next week when we spend time with the Golden Bear,
the great Jack Nicklaus.
People have asked me about, well, are you or are you the best player
at the table? I can't answer that question.
How can I answer that question?
I don't think it's my place to answer that question.
A feature not to be missed.
We also make a visit to our very own golf shop
as we test drive some new and unusual products.
We meet Aussie rules legend Jason Dunstel

The Battle Station
Ahead Battle Station
Somewhere hundreds of feet below the eastern Pacific,
the crew of the USS Topeka is being called away to Battle Stations
after picking up a contact on their sonar.
They will maneuver into position to fire a torpedo.
Submariners always operate as though they're actually at war.
From Commander Jablonski to the most junior enlisted man,
they are here by choice.
Their training is as rigorous as any in the armed forces.
It begins right after boot camp.
Morning, gentlemen!
Rise and shine! Let's go!
Roll out!
5.30 in the morning. Let's go!
Wake Sleeping Beauty up down there.
Body weight! Let's go! Wake your shipmates up!
Aged between 17 and 25,
these young men are beginning an intensive six-week course.
At the end of it, if they pass the weekly test,
they could find themselves at the controls of a billion-dollar nuclear submarine.
Let's go! Ten more minutes to get to Russia.
Gotta get this place cleaned up.
Look, Mom, no hands.
Look, Mom, no brains.
Across the world, another submarine goes to action stations.
Sivoga!
A Russian typhoon is preparing to dive.
Taking the world's largest submarine beneath the water requires immense precision and teamwork.
Twenty years ago, Captain Zhigilyov started his training
at the Zhersinsky College of Naval Engineering.
Formatting the charge for the Ternyashka.
Formatting the charge for the Ternyashka.
In Russia, two years' military training is still compulsory,
but you can select the service in which you'll train.
Many choose submarines from a sense of family tradition,
but some of the 2,000 trainees here will join the surface fleet.
Twenty-first squad, go out and build the corridor.
Russia has a proud naval tradition dating from the time of Peter the Great,
who commissioned an experimental submarine in 1719.
Here in St. Petersburg, he laid the foundation for what was to become
the largest submarine force in the world.
The school in which these cadets train is located in the old Admiralty,
built by Peter nearly 300 years ago.
In the course of the Cold War, nuclear submarines became one of the principal pillars
of Soviet strategic doctrine.
But the diesel electrics which fought their campaigns in both World Wars
still form a major part of their fleet.
These museum pieces are not far removed from submarines
on which some of these trainees will serve.
While the U.S. force is religiously nuclear,
its submarines designed to hunt for or hide from the Russians,
Soviet interests have included confined waterways
more suited to the capabilities of diesel boats like this Foxtrot.
At 10 submarine academies across the former Soviet Union,
courses are conducted in both technologies.
They are hard to get into, easy to fail, and the demands are intense.
As well as becoming familiar with reactor rooms, control rooms,
and communication centers, the trainee will have his nerve tested in simulators.
These students are practicing how to plunge their boat into a crash dive.
It may look antiquated, but the trainee's response to such an emergency
must become second nature for the day when they face the real thing.
For the trainee, the principles of submerging and surfacing
apply as much to the Foxtrot as to the 24,000 ton typhoon.
But there, the similarity ends.
Learning to drive this submersible mountain is only part of the story.
When your boat contains unimaginable explosive power,
as well as a couple of nuclear reactors the size of a bus,
safety is everything.
The most dangerous thing is unprofessionalism and a lack of expertise among the crew.
It only takes one person, one person on a boat who is an amateur,
and the situation is fraught with dire consequences.

These cadets are about to face a simulated engine room fire.
They want to isolate and control it as quickly as possible.
For even a short delay could jeopardize lives and possibly the ship.
It's a straightforward, almost routine exercise, but it holds particular relevance for the Russians.
They have lost sailors and nuclear submarines to fires, some very recently.
The Russian submarine, the Mike-class, the Consolmolets, which sunk in the Norwegian Sea a couple of years ago, was destroyed by fire.
And the Yankee-class strategic submarine that sank off Bermuda, almost certainly, again, it was fire that got out of control.
We believe, based on the Soviet Mike submarine sinking, part of their problem was the fact that the crew got exhausted before they could solve the damage control problems they were faced with, and they ultimately lost the ship.
Aware of the potentially catastrophic results of such emergencies, all nuclear navies reject criticism of their safety standards.
The Titanic was the unsinkable ship, but it sunk. Things do go wrong. Accidents have happened.
The Americans have lost two nuclear-powered submarines at sea. The Soviets have lost possibly up to seven nuclear-powered submarines at sea.
The last one being a couple of years ago, the Mike-class of Norway.
These fifth-year cadets face the immediate prospect of service in a military with a poor record of nuclear safety.
Though information has been scarce, senior officers admit that there are problems.
Nuclear accidents on board submarines, like the one described in this film, are bad enough, but 40 years of nuclear power have produced a deadly legacy.
So what's happening in the Soviet Union is that these submarines are just stopped piling up.
When you go to the big pools like Serodinsk, Seromorsk, you find that there are defunct submarines just laying there. No one knows what to do with them.
With more to decommission than anyone else, the Russians have the biggest problem, but they're not alone.
None of the nuclear navies knows how to dispose of a worn-out nuclear submarine.
The sensible, rational, scientific solution were to take it out into deep water and sink it.
It would then give off less radiation than the average granite outcrop in places, for instance, like Aberdeen in Scotland.
What you put in the ocean today stays there.
You can't take a vacuum cleaner to the ocean and clean up the mess in 10 years' time because you've found out new information about the radiation dose effects.
These recruits follow in the footsteps of 6,000 submarine engineers who've trained here in Pushkin, and in Groton, 50 new recruits start training every week.
Here we go again, same old song again, marching down the avenue, two more weeks and we'll be through.
I won't have to look at you.
Am I right, am I right, am I right or wrong?
The first thing I want to do is welcome you to the submarine force. If you're wondering and asking yourself, am I where I belong, the answer is yes.
You're going to get the best training the Navy has to offer in the submarine force. No BS.
Make sure you've got to have four eggs.
This base is called the heart of the submarine force, and it is. I know that might sound a little corny, but it is.
I mean, every submariner starts here and he will at some time be back here.
I've been telling you this since last week. I'm not listening to it anymore. I'm not going to listen to myself talk.
If somebody's got a stencil kit here, share it, use it.
We want them to start taking responsibility for themselves because a lot of them, it's their first time away from home.
Mama's not here to lay out their clothes for them in the morning and stuff anymore.
Hang in there, Chief.
Monday on A Current Affair, executive salaries. Is this man worth 40 of his workers?
I don't think there's anything that justifies that kind of excess.
We're told to tighten our belts.
Are you becoming staff? Yes, I've already said that.
While boss's pay packets go through the roof.
I don't justify that against 30,000 people perhaps losing their jobs.
Even falling profits and massive staff cuts don't stop their salaries growing fatter than ever.
Thanks.
Plus our tribute to the heroes of Kokoda.
I thought I was mentally tough.

Introducing a new ute.
From Ford.
It's the new Ford Longreach.
With over 60 major improvements, the Longreach range includes new styling,
anti-lock brakes, driver's airbag and a new interior.
Stay.
And it still carries more weight than any other ute in its class.
The new Ford Longreach.
Give it heaps.
Hi kids. We're going under the sea for an amazing adventure.
Come with me.
Visit the Octopus's Garden, an incredible exhibition at the South Australian Maritime Museum.
Enter through the kelp forest, become an explorer in the underwater research vessel
and search for treasure in the sunken shipwreck.
Feel your way through the mysterious cave, see the colourful rainbow reef and build your own reef.

Some choose an SSN, the Fast Attack or Hunter Killer submarine.
Its varied missions, including stalking other submarines and covert operations, seem to promise adventure.
Others prefer the SSBN, the Strategic Ballistic Missile Submarine,
the floating hotel with its regular routine of deterrent patrols.
This class of submarine is almost constantly at sea, manned by alternating crews.
Whichever submarine they choose, the trainees must learn to drive it,
to turn thousands of tons around within four times its length
and to ascend and descend at a rate of several hundred feet per minute.
They learn on a simulator they call Dive and Drive.
I'm really nervous about this now. I've never done this before. I did it once, but...
In real life, you watch out because sometimes you lose the indications, sometimes you may lose one of the indications.
Make sure you call what it is. You need to let us know that there's a problem first.
Yeah, talk, let people know, get the word out, right? And every casualty, get the word out.
If your stern planes are stuck or jammed on full diet or 25 diet, okay? What are you going to say?
Stair planes jammed at 15 degree dive. Now, do you think they heard you back there? Did you guys hear that?
What did you say? You didn't hear that. Stair planes jammed at 15 degree dive.
Okay, that's a little better. Manly and commanding, that's the key here.
Your first couple times you're very nervous, especially if you're the man in charge and stuff,
but after a while you get used to it. And that's how you survive though.
If you have a casualty, you need to be ready to handle it.
And you're going to fight a casualty the way you train to fight a casualty.
You're not going to do it correctly if you've never practiced. So, submarineing is stressful.
We've got a building that simulates part of the engine room. We're going to set it on fire.
And you guys put it out. You guys. Not John Wayne, not Chuck Norris. You guys.
Make sure your O.J. is perpendicular to the hose.
Put your hand around, down and under. Put it on the outside of your shoulder. There you go.
Also on week five, we're going to send you what we call the wet trainer.
Its technical name is the Damage Control Trainer.
We just call it the wet trainer because you're going to get wet.
It simulates part of the engine room on a submarine. Lower level this time, not upper level.
It's full of pipes, valves, pumps, motors.
The instructor, he has it nice. He sits in a little glass booth. He stays nice and dry.
He flips switches and all the water in the world starts coming into that trainer.
You all heard the horror stories about the flange.
This locator's got a three quarter inch gap in between the two faces. It's a metal to metal surface.
Your job is to actually tighten up the bolts, bringing the two surfaces together.
If you were on a submarine and there's no switch thrown in, but the water starts coming in, it is all the water in the world. It's the ocean.
1200 gallons per minute. It's the largest leak that you'll be facing in here.
You guys don't stop it. It gets deep.
If you're a short guy, you're going to be real interested in getting it stopped quicker than the tall guys will.
Fighting a casualty is no place for individual heroics. Teamwork is the key.
The instructor monitors the exercise, communicating with the team leader through an air phone.
How many personnel are in the space?
How many personnel are in engine room lower level?
We've got a lot of people in the room.
How many personnel are in the space? How many personnel are in engine room lower level?
Wait I.
Where are you going? Get out of there.
There's one guy up there on this side standing over there.
These men might be enjoying this spectacle now, but it's their turn next.
The pressure is relentlessly increased.
Go ahead and give me the ASW discharge flange.
Air duct is playing with one.
What's the touch of the central?
Maybe something on this side.
What?
No.
Oh my God.
We need two personnel on the flange. Get them up there.
There's a man in charge.
I think he's crawling up there. Is that the man in charge crawling up there?
That's the man in charge right here.
We want to see if they're physically and mentally capable of handling a stressful situation that we put them in with just the water spraying around everywhere.
And see if they can actually handle it. Be able to work in that kind of environment.
If they have a problem working in the water, well then we need to know about it.
Because if they go onto a submarine and they get faced with this situation, it could be detrimental to themselves and personnel around them.
These exercises test psychological suitability more than practical skills. They will come later.
The real training starts for them when they get on the boat.
The guy's really going to learn the nuts and bolts of the system, be able to touch the valves, trace the pipe, look at the breakers, see his gear, work on his gear when he gets to the submarine.
Puddy Officer Torkelson, Puddy Officer Whipple, Moss Headler front and center.
Ready? Two.
All of these men have achieved the award about to be presented to their shipmates.
They're dolphins. Silver for the enlisted men and gold for the officers.
They're like a pilot's wings and just as hard to earn.
To qualify, the raw submariner must learn every major system on board, be able to describe how it works, draw it, and recite its specifications.
All this on a boat with seven million parts.
It marks the coming of age of a submariner and the end of a tough first year on board.

In all submarine fleets, junior officers aspire to one thing above all others, to captain their own submarine. It remains one of the most challenging of commands.
If there's one thing that we've learned, and I think that the United States Navy has learned as well, a submarine commanding officer cannot have a rule book.
Okay, sure, there are some things which he can't do and some things which he must do, but he can't have a rule book. There is no set tactic or set thing to do in such and such a circumstance.
He must use his own initiative and adapt, and adapt very quickly in split seconds to what's happening.
At first, the Royal Navy did not believe it necessary to train its submarine captains. A good eye for shooting partridge was considered qualification enough.
These days, computers and simulators test the would-be captain to the limit. But for a true sense of the pressure involved, there's nothing like the real thing.
Thirty miles outside Glasgow, a Royal Naval frigate is charging straight towards a Royal Naval submarine.
Brace me on the blackhead, up! This man wants to captain a submarine.
Check ATV. Down! Brace me on the runway, get out of the way, up!
Down put me 25 starboard. This man must decide whether he's capable of doing so.
Look at the board for two minutes. A British commanding officer is trained in what's known as the perish, of course. Perish derives from an old expression, periscope school.
But as a matter of fact, it's not a bad expression because a lot of people perish along the way.
Come on, get me up! Down! Come on, engineer, there's some speed.
Utterly ruthless preparation for command, totally ruthless. And being British, we're more used to people being rude to us, very rude to us, than I think people are in the United States Navy as a whole.
Come on, engineer! Come on, sir.
Engineer, you're going to go and put up your arse if you don't get this boat on depth.
It's very, very brutal. A lot of people fail. But at the end of it, you come out tough and able to face any tactical situation on your own, without support, and take full responsibility for it.
I'm not saying that's not true of United States naval officers as well. But it's my opinion that they were more inclined, certainly in the early days of nuclear power, to look back aft at that big kettle boiling up back there, than they were to look forward to their torpedo tubes and the enemy ahead.
Submarine captains can polish their skills in the calmer atmosphere of the attack teacher. Computer scenarios simulate potential do-or-die situations.
We're going to go back, take her deep, and look my alpha clear to the right. Sounding 150,000 below the keel. Check the chart. Listen up in the fire control party. Just received flash traffic due to the deteriorating political situation in the Orange Republic and their perception of our disarmament.
The Orange Republic has launched attack against the United States. A hot war exists. We're open ocean. Received traffic indicating an Orange submarine is entering our area from the west.
We've received orders to prosecute and attack any enemy forces in our area. Any questions? Carry on.
The Navy has this idea and policy and tradition of true accountability, 100% accountability, to the captain of a ship. He is responsible for the way the garbage is dumped all the way up to the way the torpedo is shot or the guns are shot.
Annapolis is the premier officer training academy for the U.S. Navy. The courses are heavy in nuclear science, but some say too light in humanities and the art of war.
Next, you see the 41st and last of the Polaris submarines. I'm a little bit biased toward this submarine myself because frankly I was the first skipper of it.
In their final year, the midshipmen are addressed by senior officers. It's a recruitment exercise. Their example might inspire the fledgling officers to share their passion.
Following that in the motif of any place, any time, here's a USS Archerfish.
Given some qualities that I would look for is first you've got to know your job. You've got to know your stuff. You've got to know your weapons. You've got to know your ship.
We have a very small bearing rate indicating that the contact is either distant or that we're on a lead possible over lead line of sight. Range 10 to 12,000 yards. Carry on.
Stand by to mark man 832.
The good skippers I had when I was young allowed me to make torpedo approaches, to make landings when only skippers were making landings and when you're going in with a current either against you or with you and you've got to kind of shoot the thing on the fly.
Well, sometimes you hit the pier pretty hard. Sometimes the pier almost goes over. Some people have hit their own automobile at the head of the pier.
But these are things that really give you great confidence when you're the person doing it.
Steady course 3, 4, 5.
Steady course 3, 4, 5.
Close 2,000 yards.
2, 5, 6.6.
Under the captain's eye, the team maneuvers into the best position to fire.
Here's the best position to fire mate.
There are certain things that you have to be vitally interested in and involved in and one of them is safe navigation of the ship.
You must not run aground.
The other one is safe navigation that pertains to hitting another ship. You will not have a collision.
Either one of those can ruin your whole day, not to mention a career.
Get on my back.
Lie flat on me. Put your feet on my feet.
Don't kiss me on the ear.
Even at 70 years of age, you can still have the right stuff.
Alright, you ready?
Yes sir.
Okay?
There are some old adages that some people print up and put around like know your stuff, be a man, take care of your men.
And that's not too bad.
I mean you've got to take care of your crew, you've got to know your crew, you've got to be human.
And you've got to be able to laugh at your mistakes because you're going to make them.
All your people are going to make them and you may make the most colossal ones.
So if you've been smiling at them, maybe you can laugh at yourself a little bit.
My way 120.
Well that gives you something to work on.
Okay.

No U.S. submarine had fired in combat since World War II.
I was speaking to you next to one of the Tomahawk vertical launch hatches forward on the ship, out of which came the Tomahawk,
which on the 19th of January, 1991, was fired by this ship to an unidentified Iraqi target.
The prime responsibility of command is the nuclear reactor, according to its high priest, Admiral Rickover.
But a submarine's purpose involves more than just intimate knowledge of its propulsion.
Admiral Rickover made a big point of you can't get there if the power plant doesn't get you there, and that's right.
But the name of the game is being able to fight a war, to win a battle. And you've got to develop your tactics.
We have chosen in the Royal Navy to continue focusing on tactics, what you do with a sharp end,
and to let an extremely well-trained specialist, a technical guy, to look after the kettleback art.
We run things a bit differently from the British, for example, where the officers in the Royal Navy are engineering specialists,
or operational tactics specialists, and we are trained to be good at both ends.
It doesn't mean to say that our commanding officers know nothing about nuclear power. They know a very, very great deal about it.
Indeed, they do. But they don't feel that they have to be technical to the degree that a United States naval officer feels.
He has to be, indeed has to be, under the regime which Admiral Rickover started.
If you're on your way to a nuclear engineering exam, tradition claims this will bring you luck.
Such is the Admiral's legacy.
But whether propulsion or tactics are more important in nuclear submarine warfare has only been tested once.
The only submarine commander to have sunk a warship with a nuclear submarine is this man.
During the actual attack, it was very much like countless other ones I'd done for practice before, both at sea on live targets and, indeed, in our attack teacher.
HMS Conqueror was sent to the Falklands in April 1982. The British were reacting to an invasion of their territory by Argentina.
In what was to become the most controversial incident of the brief war, Reiford Brown quickly made sonar contact with a group of Argentinian warships.
I entered my patrol area to the southwest of Falkland Islands on the evening of the 30th of April, and having settled down to patrol, I quite rapidly gained detection on one of my sonars.
The General Belgrano was an aging cruiser with more than a thousand men aboard. Much was to be made of her movements immediately prior to the attack.
We spent the whole of that night just following them from deep, which is not particularly difficult for an SSN, sending locating reports back, I think about every six hours or so.
The British had declared a total exclusion zone, but the Belgrano was outside it and could not be attacked, so Reiford Brown followed her and waited for instructions.
I had quite a lot of time in my cabin to actually think how I was going to conduct the attack. I mean, I felt in my own mind that at some stage, Northward, our command back here, would actually instruct me to carry out the attack.
And I chose which torpedo I was going to use. I also, in my mind, worked out where I was going to position myself. So there was some mental preparation.
After trailing the Belgrano for more than 25 hours, the Conqueror received new orders from Whitehall. Sink it.
I had some seven miles of stern of them, and it took me about two hours to catch them up and work into an attacking position.
I'd selected the Mark 8 torpedo to fire, and I planned to fire a salvo, three of those, to counteract for any errors that I made in the fire control solution.
I worked myself into a position where, when we eventually fired, it was about 1,400 yards on the port bow of the cruiser, gave the order to fire.
We heard the torpedoes run on our underwater sonar. We could hear them quite distinctly running out, and indeed heard one and then another hit.
I was looking through the periscope at the time and saw a distinct cloud of smoke and flame from the first one, and then I think I saw another cloud of smoke from the second.
A cheer went up in the control room, I think, when we heard the hit, and I looked around and saw actually there was a lot more people in every corner than one perhaps anticipated at attack stations.
After that, I went deep and moved away to the east to just get out of the general area, because I wasn't quite sure what the two destroyers were going to do, whether they were going to come and take an interest in me and try and counterattack.
The Conqueror returned home to fierce debate over the decision to sink the Belgrano, echoing an earlier era when submarines were regarded as underhand and immoral.
She was a threat to the task force. She had been steaming towards them, and I had been watching her for a few hours beforehand, and under direct orders I went in and attacked her.
I think by doing so, although there was obviously loss of life on her, which I regret, I certainly saved considerable loss of life from the British task force.
I was obviously aware that I had actually killed I don't know how many, and didn't know for a long time, but quite a few people, so there was a certain sense of concern that that had happened.
Nevertheless, as far as I was concerned, as far as the ship's company was concerned, we were at war. My immediate reactions after that was, I think the first one was one of relief that I'd actually achieved something that the ship's company and I had been trained to do over a number of years, all of us, and a sense of exhilaration that I'd actually achieved it.

In the life of Jesus, we see the way to relate to others. To be with those who are lonely and confused. To encourage those who feel lost and weary. To feel the pain of others, and to reach out and touch the lives of other people.
Once upon a time, to be in submarines marked you as inferior, an undersea pirate. But over a hundred years of submarine warfare have created a community which now regards itself as an elite.
The recruits in Groton and St Petersburg will become part of this tradition.
We inherited from our submariners, specifically our World War II submariners, a mindset, a way of life, a commitment that is unmatched anywhere in the world.
I mean you have a feeling for these guys, it's like your family, I'm not going to lie, there's probably a lot of sub-readers out there that are going to watch this and say that oh that's BS, but I mean it really isn't.
I mean you can ask them, I wouldn't trade any memories I have on this thing or any of my friends I have on this thing for anything in the world. They're good, they're good people.
In an era where the enemy is no longer as clearly defined, and where moves toward disarmament will continue to reduce the submarine's importance, their prohibitive cost is becoming harder to justify.
Yet should a new world conflict arise, it will be in the hands of young men like these. For now more than ever, such a war is likely to be won and lost under the sea.
My friend, my friend, everybody hit your rack! Not in your rack you're wrong! Shut up!

Sweet little Sheila, you'll never see her. Blue eyes and a pony tail. They're here, they're here again.
Who? Who's here? The Bombini Brothers. Where are they? They're right outside. They're warming up playing catch with a VW.
They want a rumble? No, they want to give me a pedicure. Of course they want a rumble. And I need your help.
You mean if Bon's a rumble and you want my help? Then I just say, just get a rumble and he wants my help. If Bon's a rumble and he wants my help.
That's what I mean.
Bon Kareli. This is it. Oh yeah? You're a dead man.
Oh, sorry. Well this dead man is telling you I'm going to hit you so hard the governor's going to declare your face a disaster area. And it's not a good neighborhood to begin with.
Hey, Chachi. Yeah? Put your hands up. Hold it. Okay, come on.
Come on, boys. It's over. Oh, come on. What's the matter?
Boy, Fonz, we told everybody we'd be to this time. We've been saying that for seven years.
But next year, we're going to bring our big brother. Get out of here.
Chachi. Yeah? Whoa. You did good. Thank you so much.
I thought that was going to be four guys. And I was going to take the next two.
Do you believe what you just saw? Huh? He made a coat rack out of me.
He probably didn't want you to get hurt. Let's face it. He doesn't have any respect for me.
No, it's like he's the Lone Ranger and I'm not even tanto. I'm silver. I'm sick of it.
Chachi, because he thinks of both of us as kids. You know, he still buys me raggedy and perfume.
Oh, is that what you're wearing? It makes him happy and it keeps him flies away.
Maybe you don't mind, but I want him to change his thinking about me. Why don't you just tell it to Fonz about this?
Why? Yeah. Because talk does not impress Fonzie. That's why. Guts. That's what impresses him.
I got to come up with something big, Joanie. I don't know.
Wait. What? You remember last year when Tommy entered the City Boxing Tournament? Huh?
Oh. Yeah, he won one fight and Fonzie went ape over him. Yeah, but Chachi, Tommy was beaten senseless.
Yeah, but Fonzie drove him home every single day until he remembered where he lived.
This is perfect, Joanie. The City Tournament starts in two weeks and this kid is going to be in it.
And then you watch. Fonzie is going to worship me.

You know, Uncle Howard, I'm not totally without experience.
I...I...I...I...
I boxed a little in college. You're looking at a man who's been there.
Yeah. You see, I would have been conference champ if it hadn't been for a woman trouble.
Oh, you fell in love, huh?
No, she knocked me out in the second round.
East German exchange student. I got her back, though.
Her visa ran out. I reported her to the authorities.
Would you mind sticking around, Mr. Kern?
All right. All right, let's go. Come on, let's get some jump rope here.
Now, remember, the jump rope is an excellent tool when training is used properly.
Excuse me a minute. Could I see that, please?
You know, I used to be quite an expert at this when I was a wiry little guy.
Which life was that?
You keep that up and I'll be your first opponent.
Now, look, Chotch, it's tall in the wrist, you see. You just...
Well, this rope is too short.
Yeah, why don't we let you...let Chotch try it.
No, he can't do it. He's taller than me. The rope is too short.
Let's just let him...
The rope is too short.
All right, here we go. Come on, let's go, Chotch. Get it going, get it going.
Get that heart going. Hey, not bad.
I see some potential here. Let's go, keep jumping.
Roger, please. I just ran three miles.
That's right. Tomorrow we'll run four.
All right, that's enough. That's enough. Let's hit the heavy bag, huh?
All right, now, Chotch, the object here is to just pretend the bag is your opponent, all right?
Here we go. Come on. Come on. Use your body, not just your arms. That's it.
Now, watch this right. Counter that punch. Come on, body punches, body punches.
That's it. That's it. Come on, leave it to your left.
Now, knock him out. Knock him out. Come on, get him on his dump. Get him on his dump.
Roger, stop. Roger, stop. Get off. Roger, stop.
Roger, stop. Roger, that is not the East German woman.
I'm sorry. I guess I got carried away. She was shaped just like that bag.
Listen, you got a problem.
All right, what do you say we do some sit-ups? Let's say 100.
Forget it. This is more work than I thought.
I'm officially announcing my retirement from the ring.
Great.
Hey, look at you, huh? Let me see this.
Fire in your eyes, huh? You got leather on your wrists. My life is complete.
You like the fact that I'm fighting, Fass?
Oh, I like the fact. Hey, it's Huckleberry. How funny.
Oh.
When is your first fight?
Saturday. Saturday. What are you standing there for, huh?
Come on, look at that. You look like a fighter. You stand like a fighter.
You fall like a fighter.
Hey, that's great, Josh. Come here. Come here.
Don't stand there. Hit something. Come here. Come on.
All right.

Hey, open it.
I can't.
Come on, open it.
I can't.
Of course. Why didn't you say so?
I did. Yeah, right.
So here it is. Hey.
That's beautiful.
And it practically has my name on it.
Here, slip into this.
Thanks, Fass.
I can't tell you how I feel.

So how many opponents do I have to get by before I win the championship, Raj?
Three.
But let's concentrate on one at a time, all right?
You know, this Leo Epps is one crazed fighter and a terrible poet.
He's got to be stopped.
And I got just the baby to stop him.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Let's call it a day, huh?
Nah, I'm feeling good, Raj.
Yeah?
I think I'll do a little shadow boxing to sharpen my timing, all right?
All righty, but don't overdo it.
You know, you don't want to lose your edge.
Raj, the word lose is no longer in my vocabulary.
You know, I wish I had your attitude when I faced that East German.
I got to stop thinking about that.
Oh, really?
All right, let's go.
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
I'm just doing my impression of Senior Wences.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Is that right?
That's all right.
That's good.
Let me out of here.
Let me out of here.
Hey, I call you a dead man.
Hey, I call her.
I call her.
I'm going to bite your head off and grind it into birdseed.
You don't worry about this guy.
He is a bozo, a mean bozo.
Hey, you boys, roses are red, violets are raw, blue.
Have you heard this before?
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's next exciting event,
three rounds of boxing, featuring in this corner at 162 pounds,
Leo Lunatic Abs.

Come on, let's go.
Now, when that bell rings, I want you guys to come out fighting clean.
And that means no punching below the belt, no eye gouging, and no holding.
Who's going to stop me?
You'll hear that now.
Now, drink, Hans, and come out fighting.
Come on, let's go.
Come on, Chach, come on.
You're right, Chach, you're right.
Well, Howard, I think something's wrong with his right hand.
Come on, Chach, why isn't he fighting down?
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Why aren't you using your right?
I'm saving you.
For what?
To lay on your chest at the funeral?
Come on, let's get out there and hit this guy.
You are hurt.
Chachi, if that hand is really hurt, I'm going to throw the towel in.
I'm fine.
Chachi, you better use it then.
That's it, Roger, I'm throwing in the towel.
Hey, hey, hey, you out.
Come on, Chachi, come on.
How's your hand?
It's okay.
You can't win them all, Chachi.
You do.
Can I ask you a question?
How could you be so stupid as to get in the ring with a broken hand?
You have to ask?
Yes.
You know why.
I got in the ring because I...
I wanted to be somebody more than just a guy who holds your scarf in a rumble, Franz.
You know, when I won that first fight, you were so proud of me.
If I would have dropped out, I would have lost that.
I would have understood.
You are my cousin.
I don't want to be your cousin.
Well, it's a little late to do something about that now.
Franz, I want to be more than that.
I want to be your friend.
I want to be somebody you respect.
What are you talking about?
I respect you.
I'll keep your picture in my wallet.
Look at this right here.
I'm 10 years old there.
You haven't changed much.
You look very nice.
Santa looks very nice.
You still think of me as 10 years old.
No wonder we can't be friends.
We're friends.
We're not.
We're friends.
What makes us friends?
I say we're friends.
That's the point.
What's the point?
That's how you decide everything.
I say we're friends.
Franz, I feel like a sidecar on your motorcycle.
Jackie, I do not treat you any differently than I treat anybody.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Well, what would you like me to do about it?
You know, friendship works both ways, Franz.
Yeah.
You always give me advice.
Just once, it would be so nice if you asked my advice about something.
About what?
Girls, for example.
All right, I lost my head.
About business down at the garage.
About problems with the kids at Pat's.
I got it.
About what flavor ice cream you should get, Franz, anything.
I know.
Yes, you're right.
I'm right?
That's right.
I just said you were right.
Okay, Jackie, sometimes I treat you like a little kid and not like an adult.
It gets away from me.
I forget you grow up, you know?
Yeah.
I'll tell you something.
You know, there are a lot of ways to get somebody's respect without going into a ring and getting beat to a pulp.
Like what?
Like looking somebody straight in the eye and saying how you feel.
A lot of guys don't have courage for that.
I got a great deal of respect for that.
Yeah?
Oh, yeah.
Thanks.
Think nothing of it.
One more favor, okay?
Yeah.
Can I have my robe back?
Oh, it's cold.
Yeah?
Where is it?
You let me wear this?
Why?
You have to ask.
Oh, this feels good.
I'll just look.
Looks great.
Yeah, feels great, feels great.
You know what I feel like?
I feel like going down to Arnold's and having some refreshing ice cream.
I just don't know what flavor I should have.
How about pistachio?
Pistachio, my favorite.
Yeah, let's go have pistachio.
All right, here we go.
Pistachio with you.
Yo.

Now, Mick Dewan, Barry Sheen was trying to go for 30 times consecutive on the front row.
Hasn't happened.
He's back in position number seven.
But this front row, it really is something different.
Well, it's completely, I've never seen anything like it.
You've got four different mates.
You've got Yamaha, Honda, Aprilia and Suzuki on the front row of the grid.
And the reason that everybody, the grid is so strange, it beat his back in 17th place,
is the fact the temperature.
I spoke to Mick this morning at seven o'clock.
It was six degrees.
So, what's the difference between the two?
