[Rocky walks upstairs from the kitchen to see Donnie staring at the photo between Rocky and Apollo]
Rocky Balboa: How you doing?
Adonis "Donnie" Johnson: This was taken from the 10th round of the first fight, right?
Rocky: [takes off his glasses] Good call. How'd you know that?
Donnie: I heard about a third fight between you and Apollo behind closed doors. That true?
Rocky: How'd you hear about that?
Donnie: Who won?
Rocky: Its kind of a secret. What'd you say your name was?
Donnie: Donnie.
Rocky: The girl said you wanted to talk about something.
Donnie: Yeah, I want to talk to you about training me.
Rocky: Training you? [chuckles] I don't do that stuff no more. Sorry about that. Listen, it's getting kind of late, kid. So I'm gonna close up--
Donnie: How good was he?
Rocky: Who? Apollo? Yeah, he was great. He's a perfect fighter. Ain't nobody ever better.
Donnie: So how'd you beat him?
Rocky: Time beat him. Time takes everybody out, it's undefeated. Anyway, I gotta lock up.
Donnie: When Mickey died, he came and talked to you, right? Talked you out of quitting? Took you to L.A., trained you...brought you back.
Rocky: How do you know all this?
Donnie: How do you think?
Rocky: [looks at the photo before turning back to Donnie] What are you, like, a cousin?
Donnie: He's my father.
Rocky: No, he isn't. I don't believe you.
Donnie: Call Mary Anne.
Rocky: Mary Anne. His wife.
Donnie: The house number still works. Oh, that's right. You haven't talked to her since the funeral. She said you gave a nice speech, though.
Rocky: Yeah. Nice speech.
Donnie: I want you to train me. I need somebody solid and who else better to go to? You at least owe me that.
Rocky: I can tell the way you talk, you been to school. So I figure you got some brains. Why would you want to pick a fighter's life when you don't have to? If Apollo was around, he would tell you that, too.
Donnie: Well, he ain't around. I been fighting my whole life. I ain't got a choice.
Rocky: It's always about a choice. I was in the ring. I saw how it went down. That fight should've been stopped. I should have stopped it.
Donnie: Maybe he wanted to go out like a fighter. Maybe, you did exactly what he wanted.
Rocky: I think he'd rather be here, talking with you. [gets a closer look at Donnie] There is a resemblance. I'm usually here all the time so if you're ever in the neighborhood, come by if you need something.
Donnie: I'll be at Mickey's Gym tomorrow.
Rocky: I don't go there. I haven't been there in a long time.
Donnie: Since we're pretty much like family... who won the third fight?
Rocky: [looks to Apollo's picture] He did.
