Rocky V - Cause Mickey Loves You

Scene from Rocky V When Mickey tells Rocky :
Slip the jab kid ,slip the jab. That's right.That's it. Hey I didn't hear no bell!
Alright that's it slip the jab mentalize .See that bum in front of you .You see yourself doin' right and you do right
That's pretty , that's very pretty . Time !
Ah come here Rock. My God, you're ready ain't ya? That Apollo won't know what hit him.
You're gonna roll over him like a bulldozer, an Italian bulldozer.
You know, kid, I know how you feel about this fight that's comin' up, because I was young once too. And I tell you somethin': Well, if you wasn't here,
I probably wouldn't be alive today. The fact that you're here and doin' as well as you're doin'
gives me, what do you call it, motivization , huh, to stay alive? 'Cause I think that people die sometimes when they don't wanna live no more.
And nature is smarter than people think. Little by little, we lose our friends, we lose everything. We keep losing and losing till we say, you know,
"What the hell am I livin' around here for? I got no reason to go on." But with you, kid, boy, I got a reason to go on. And I'm gonna stay alive, and I will watch you make good.
And I'll never leave you until that happens. 'Cause when I leave you, you'll not only know how to fight, you'll be able to take care of yourself outside the ring too. Is that okay?
Okay. Now I got a little gift for you. No, wait a minute, now, wait a minute. Hey look at that. See that? This is the favorite thing that I have on this Earth. And Rocky Marciano give me that. You know what it was? His cufflink. Huh? And now I'm givin' it to you and it, it's gotta be like a, like an angel
on your shoulder see? If you ever get hurt and you feel that you're goin' down this little angel is gonna whisper in your ear. It's gonna say, 'Get up you son of a bitch 'cause Mickey loves you'. Okay?
Go after him kid, go after him.
There it is. I don't know he only gave me one , he gave it to some bum.

This is the place where real alpha men came to cry

[Donbarbz]

Shout out to Stallone for directing great movies and also planting positive messages into the storyline consistently since the 80's!

[rodrigocastro]

It's impossible a Rocky fan to watch this scene without crying at least once

[davidmorley]

Burgess Meredith was one damn FINE actor.

[thecolorado]

To dislike this the person must have some mental problem! This is like a father's speech! It's absolutely beautiful!

[christianmeneses]

Nature is smarter than people think I just lost my father and I’d never think he would pass away it just slips your mind that your parents could be gone in just a few minutes everybody who still has a mother and father cherish the little things because when there gone then you realize holy crap I really need them

[maliant]

If this scene doesn’t touch your heart you aren’t human.

[enriquediazjauregui]

Such a dramatic, heartfelt, beautiful dialogue, acting & scene.

"What the hell am I living around here for? I got no reason to on, but with you kid, boy I got a reason to go on..."

[Canadian_Psycho]

That tear Rocky sheds at the end. I'm there with ya Rock 😢

[cccc-fhsu]

When Rocky said

You was the angel

I felt that 😔

[a.a.]

I listened to this every morning last year, and cried and still do every time. It helped me get through some hard days. Thanks Sly. Thank you Mickey.

They took part of the speech, true story from Cus dmato, Mike Tyson's Trainer, Coach, and father figure

[glenreid]

The other cufflink was given to Apollo (you can see it on his neck in rocky II )when Apollo is standing upstairs and talking to his wife …

[SergioLevet]

He should’ve won an Oscar for this dialogue right here… that inflection of his voice, it’s absolutely impossible not to gets emotional with this. I saw it the first time when I was a kid, back in the early 90’s and now that I’m 40, still gets me, man this is a piece of treasure

[mrnordpool]

I just wish I can meet Stallone in person one day and thank him for making Rocky, I have been trough so much shit that made me thinking of ending myself, but thanks to his character I keep get motivated to move on further and just like what Mickey says when im down there is an angel saying "Get up you son of a bitch!" And it even helped more hearing sly saying in Rocky Balboa "its not about how hard you can hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, thats how winning is done!"

[bezzieb]

3:55 will pick anybody up when needed makes me think of my grandad every time 😢now keep swinging 🤨

[mab]

Say what you want about Rocky 5 but this is one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.

[doublejstudios]

The two people that disliked are the Dragos

[tonyrocco]

What happened to his other cuff link? I don’t know he gave me 1, he gave it to some bum. 😂

[vccstudents]

Two years ago I lost my father. He lived long enough to see me get out of a bad work situation and get the best break that ever happened to me. He wasn't happy after my mother passed, but I believe he stayed around long enough to see me succeed in the best possible way. When he died, I thought of this scene right away. I don't have a Marciano cufflink, but I have one of his favorite rings as I commemorated him with that ring.
