A scene from Ali 2001
Drew Bundini Brown

[Drew Bundini shows up at Cassius Clay's place and wants to talk to him] [approaches]

I'm called Bundini. Rhymes with Houdini. He was a Jew too. Some people call me Fast Black. Some call me Daddy Mac. Gave Sugar Ray Robinson my power for seven years. My voodoo. My magic. Now Shorty done sent me here to work for you.

Cassius Clay

Who's Shorty?

Bundini

[looks in the distance]

I call him Shorty. Call him Shorty 'cause he like 'em circumcised. Original people. Like Moses. And I was a babe in a basket too. Born on a doorstep with a note across my chest that read "You do the best you can for him, world." I wanna be your inspiration. Your motivator in your corner. Can I be in your corner, young man?
