   Interview with Muhammed Ali
2. Apibudinimas:

3. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   [Jazz music]
4. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   [singing] Them that's got, shall get
   Them that's not, shall lose
5. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   So the Bible said, and it still is news.
   Mama may have, Papa may have
6. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   But God bless the child that's got his own,
   That's got his own. [Music ends]
7. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   [Muhammad Ali]: It's the Spring of 1973, and I'm coming home after a defeat.
8. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   Every man, woman and child in my home town, was and heard about how I lost the fight to Norton.
9. Ne Sinchronizuotas
   Just like everybody else all over the world heard, the press will crowd the sports pages with headlines that
10. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    remind me Muhammad Ali is finished. The end of an era. Ali beaten by a nobody, his big mouth
11. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    shut for all times. Most thrilling fight in history, I had to make my comeback. [laughter]
12. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Studs] This is the beginning, you know, this is Muhammad Ali reading the opening passage
13. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    from a very beautiful and moving book, by the way "The Greatest", Muhammad Ali. Random
14. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    House is the publishers, written with Dick Durham. And I was thinking, Muhammad Ali, champion
15. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    that moment, recall, that moment a lot of people wanted you to be beaten, and a lot wanted
16. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    you to win. Do you remember it?
    [Ali]: Yes sir, whenever I go into the ring
17. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    you can always hear the boos, the crowd, the heckles. Many of them were coming for years
18. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    and they were determined that they were going to see this man lose. Many of their main objects was to
19. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    see the big mouth beat. The way he talks is superior his boxing skill. He can't be that great, he's gonna
20. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    fall, one day he's gonna get it. And they just determined to come until they see it.
21. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    And if it happens and they don't see it, they'll feel bad. They just want to be there, even if
22. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    they have other partners, other things to do, even if they can't afford it, some make it their business
23. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    to be there, whenever they come because a guy that get away with too many victories, upset too many
24. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    people, whoop them many times, and shocked them, and they want to see it. Finally it happened with
25. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Ken Norton.
    [Studs]: There's something you said, Muhammad Ali.
26. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    That some of the people -- you're hitting a very important thing -- some people can't even afford it.
27. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Some of the very powerful ones, some people can't even afford it, wanted you beaten. It's something
28. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    about their own lives missing, you see what I mean? What is it, that wants to make them be part of
29. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    of something that even makes them feel less?
    [Ali]: I think all of them would be great, all people
30. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    want to be victorious, want to be successful, and when they see another man, naturally they might
31. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    envy them, especially when he talks about it and brags about it, saying "I'm gonna do this,
32. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    he's gonna fall. I am the King, I am the greatest" and keeps doing it, not only with this confidence they
33. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    don't have, and here's a man expressing and doing it, and they just want to see him beat many
34. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    of them. Some of them like it, it encourages them, but some want to see him beat because
35. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    he just shouldn't be that cocky, and he just shouldn't be able to get away with it, I couldn't do it so he
36. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    shouldn't be able to get away with it.
    [Studs]: Let's go back, coming back to Louisville,
37. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    who is Muhammad Ali? Once upon a time, this kid, Cassius Clay, who is Muhammad? Your father
38. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    was a sign painter.
    [Ali]: Yes, he was a sign painter.
39. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Still is. Mother's just happy doing housework, she had a part-time job when money was short
40. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    to keep us fed and keep shoes on our feet going to school. Cassius Clay was just a little kid, just like
41. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    everybody else, going to school everyday, coming home, going down the street and kicking,
42. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    playing football, riding around and peeping in wonders or whatever little devilish things kids do.
43. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Cassius Clay started boxing at 12 years old, and wanted the Golden Gloves, the Olympics, the AU, went
44. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    long-term pro and my life wasn't too much different from another child.
45. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Studs]: Well there's a moment you describe, earlier in the book, coming back after having won the
46. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Olympic Gold medal. Before I ask you about that, your father, you always felt that he had
47. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    possibilities of being something better too, didn't he? He had possibilities. This is one of the things that
48. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    hit me about you and your life from the book. Looking for other possibilities. And this is your old
49. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    man, your father.
    [Ali]: Yeah, he's a great singer, he imited Perry
50. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    Como, Nat King Cole, Roland Hayes, old-time great singers. He figured if he left Louisville, the South
51. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    he was coming up, he had a chance to be great, and I think he could have. And it says on his mind
52. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    all the time, he could have been a great singer. Today he still tries to sing.
53. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Studs]: Though you come back to Louisville, and just about that time -- by the way, if Emmet Till lived,
54. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    he'd but just about your age, wouldn't he?
    [Ali]: Right.
55. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Studs]: Is that -- do you remember that case when you lived back there?
56. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Ali]: Yeah, I remember reading about how he was all tore up, and burned up and everything, and
57. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    eyes out of his head, and that really made me think about myself. He's a kid like myself...
58. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    And it really made me real bitter. And to think about that, I explain it all in the book.
59. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Studs]: There's a certain moment, when you came back from Louisville, and you were the champ who
60. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    won the golden medallion. And you came in to that restaurant.
61. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Ali]: Went to the restaurant, always was a kid who liked to experiment and look around, think about
62. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    various things, there wasn't always a lot of things happening, and I said -- I had my gold medal
63. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    and I wore it out to eat, being the champ in the world, beat everybody in the world, and I know they can't
64. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    turn me down. They did. The woman who took my order told me they couldn't serve Nigros
65. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    and went back to the kitchen and told the manager, he said, I don't care about Cassius Clay, and he
66. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    came out, and a little scuffle arose, verbal. This motorcycle gang -- Frog and his boys -- came in, and
67. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Studs]: Frog is the motorcycle
68. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Ali]: Yeah, they didn't like it and we stood about talking and what's with the gold medal olympic,
69. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    nigger and all this stuff. And we got to scuffling and I beat up a couple of them. Anyway, after all this
70. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    scuffle and getting put out and seeing the medal had no power, I just went to the Jefferson county bridge
71. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    and thought about all the people I'd beaten, and all the country I'd represented and couldn't even eat
72. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    in my own home town. I said, this medal isn't even worth a damn thing. I just threw it in the Ohio river.
73. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Studs]: Yeah. Now that particular moment was one that you remember pretty well, isn't it? Did that sort
74. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    of open your eyes a little bit, or did you know about it before?
75. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Ali]: What?
    [Studs]: That you'd be treated that way coming back.
76. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    [Ali]: No, well I knew blacks couldn't eat in restaurants. What kicked it off one day,
77. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    before the Winter Olympics, saw this African from University of Louisville, Kentucky, going down the
78. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    street and having arose and little things and they went
79. Ne Sinchronizuotas
    to go in this white restaurant, and the lady said something to the manager and he said to another man "It's okay, they're not negros." and that really shook me up
