Subtitles by explosiveskull

2
00:01:00,347 --> 00:01:03,215
A great way
to win a championship.

3
00:01:03,217 --> 00:01:06,052
With a strenuous
brilliant smash...

4
00:01:06,054 --> 00:01:08,088
...Billie Jean King is the...

5
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:12,593
...1972 champion
of the United States!

6
00:01:21,304 --> 00:01:24,104
Earlier
today, Billie Jean King continued

7
00:01:24,106 --> 00:01:26,240
what has already
been a record year...

8
00:01:26,242 --> 00:01:28,510
...with an exciting
6-4, 7-6 win

9
00:01:28,512 --> 00:01:31,479
over Rosie Casals
in a sudden-death tiebreaker.

10
00:01:31,481 --> 00:01:32,813
Billie Jean's triumph
makes her

11
00:01:32,815 --> 00:01:35,617
the most successful woman
player of all time...

12
00:01:35,619 --> 00:01:38,720
...and prompts a phone call
from a very special fan:

13
00:01:38,722 --> 00:01:40,121
President Nixon.

14
00:01:40,123 --> 00:01:41,890
Hello, Mr. President.

15
00:01:41,892 --> 00:01:44,126
Well, I just wanted
to congratulate you.

16
00:01:44,128 --> 00:01:46,093
And I'm glad to see
a fellow Californian

17
00:01:46,095 --> 00:01:47,528
gets over $100,000.

18
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:48,998
And I'm glad
to be the first woman

19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,132
to do it, too.

20
00:01:50,134 --> 00:01:51,266
Well, I wish you well,

21
00:01:51,268 --> 00:01:53,267
and you've had
a really marvelous year.

22
00:01:53,269 --> 00:01:56,139
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you very much, sir.

23
00:01:56,141 --> 00:01:57,405
Being queen for the day

24
00:01:57,407 --> 00:01:58,839
is not enough for this King.

25
00:01:58,841 --> 00:02:00,442
I bet you my head's too big.

26
00:02:00,444 --> 00:02:02,277
She's been
outspoken in her demands

27
00:02:02,279 --> 00:02:04,781
for higher pay
for all women players.

28
00:02:05,617 --> 00:02:06,549
Watch out, guys.

29
00:02:06,551 --> 00:02:08,784
There's no stopping
this little lady.

30
00:02:08,786 --> 00:02:11,921
Billie Jean King celebrated
her win with a big...

31
00:02:30,342 --> 00:02:31,909
Ladies and gentlemen...

32
00:02:31,911 --> 00:02:34,211
...please welcome 1972

33
00:02:34,213 --> 00:02:36,913
U.S. Open Women's
Singles Champion...

34
00:02:36,915 --> 00:02:39,384
...Billie Jean King.

35
00:03:06,446 --> 00:03:08,647
Have you seen this?

36
00:03:08,649 --> 00:03:10,082
No. Hey, Gladys.

37
00:03:10,084 --> 00:03:11,217
You want a dance?

38
00:03:11,219 --> 00:03:12,484
I want a gun.

39
00:03:12,486 --> 00:03:13,652
They just snuck this out

40
00:03:13,654 --> 00:03:15,822
in the middle of the night.
Lowlifes.

41
00:03:15,824 --> 00:03:17,022
This is outrageous.

42
00:03:17,024 --> 00:03:19,624
And it's got Jack Kramer's
fingerprints all over it.

43
00:03:19,626 --> 00:03:22,196
You're absolutely
right it does.

44
00:03:22,198 --> 00:03:23,798
I know where he's hiding.

45
00:03:25,067 --> 00:03:26,600
You want to come?

46
00:03:26,602 --> 00:03:29,669
No. No, you go
do your thing.

47
00:03:29,671 --> 00:03:30,939
But good luck.

48
00:03:35,211 --> 00:03:37,343
- Thank you very much, honey.
- Sure, Mr. Kramer.

49
00:03:37,345 --> 00:03:39,513
- Thank you.
- Of course.

50
00:03:39,515 --> 00:03:40,947
They won't get
away with it.

51
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:42,015
Uh-oh.

52
00:03:42,017 --> 00:03:43,717
You can't go in there.

53
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:45,253
Excuse me.

54
00:03:45,255 --> 00:03:46,855
Wait a minute.

55
00:03:46,857 --> 00:03:48,889
Surprised in their lair.

56
00:03:48,891 --> 00:03:51,927
This is an unexpected
pleasure.

57
00:03:51,929 --> 00:03:54,995
My goodness, you both look
sensational, if I may say.

58
00:03:54,997 --> 00:03:55,964
You may not.

59
00:03:55,966 --> 00:03:57,499
You're not supposed
to be in here, you know.

60
00:03:57,501 --> 00:03:59,935
Because I'm a woman
or because I'm a Jew, Bob?

61
00:03:59,937 --> 00:04:02,774
Please, you're welcome here.
Have a seat.

62
00:04:04,541 --> 00:04:06,674
What can we do for you?

63
00:04:06,676 --> 00:04:08,412
Would you like
a glass of something maybe?

64
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:09,881
No, thank you, Jack.

65
00:04:11,214 --> 00:04:13,283
I find it's best
to be clear before

66
00:04:13,285 --> 00:04:14,918
committing cold-blooded
murder, so...

67
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:17,021
...clarify...

68
00:04:18,522 --> 00:04:19,822
...the press release.

69
00:04:19,824 --> 00:04:20,823
Ah, yes.

70
00:04:20,825 --> 00:04:22,424
It says here
that you're offering

71
00:04:22,426 --> 00:04:24,160
the men's winner $12,000...

72
00:04:24,162 --> 00:04:26,929
...and $1,500 to the women's.

73
00:04:26,931 --> 00:04:28,465
Those are the terms.

74
00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:30,166
The men's prize
needs to be that high

75
00:04:30,168 --> 00:04:31,433
to attract the best players.

76
00:04:31,435 --> 00:04:32,567
We're trying to make this

77
00:04:32,569 --> 00:04:34,303
the most prestigious
tournament in America.

78
00:04:34,305 --> 00:04:36,207
And paying the women
less than ever

79
00:04:36,209 --> 00:04:38,540
makes it more prestigious.
Uh...

80
00:04:38,542 --> 00:04:41,579
Well, it's simply a question
of what we can afford.

81
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:43,480
People pay to see
the men play.

82
00:04:43,482 --> 00:04:44,848
They're the draw.

83
00:04:44,850 --> 00:04:47,053
They're eight times
more of a draw?

84
00:04:47,652 --> 00:04:48,719
Sorry?

85
00:04:48,721 --> 00:04:50,053
You're offering
the men's winner

86
00:04:50,055 --> 00:04:51,723
eight times that of the women.

87
00:04:51,725 --> 00:04:53,324
Do we bring in
an eighth of the crowd?

88
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:55,425
I don't know
percentages, but...

89
00:04:55,427 --> 00:04:56,995
They sold the exact
same amount of tickets

90
00:04:56,997 --> 00:04:59,464
to the women's final today
as the men's.

91
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:02,467
- Isn't that right, Jack?
- Today, yeah, I suppose so.

92
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:05,337
Same sales, same prize money.
Makes sense to me.

93
00:05:05,339 --> 00:05:07,005
Oh, come on.
Be reasonable.

94
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:09,641
There's no way
that we could afford that.

95
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:11,444
What's your argument, Jack?

96
00:05:12,981 --> 00:05:14,013
For one thing,

97
00:05:14,015 --> 00:05:16,582
the men have families
that they have to support.

98
00:05:16,584 --> 00:05:19,451
I'm the main breadwinner
in my family.

99
00:05:19,453 --> 00:05:21,353
Yeah. Yeah.

100
00:05:21,355 --> 00:05:22,556
Look.

101
00:05:25,726 --> 00:05:29,097
The men are simply...
more exciting to watch.

102
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:31,330
They are.

103
00:05:31,332 --> 00:05:33,065
- They're faster.
- Fact.

104
00:05:33,067 --> 00:05:34,368
- And stronger.
- Fact.

105
00:05:34,370 --> 00:05:35,801
And more competitive.

106
00:05:35,803 --> 00:05:36,769
Just a fact.

107
00:05:36,771 --> 00:05:40,773
It's not your fault,
it's just... biology.

108
00:05:40,775 --> 00:05:44,579
That's not my point. We sell
the same amount of tickets.

109
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:49,115
I'm sorry.
It's not going to happen.

110
00:05:51,786 --> 00:05:53,854
Well, if that's
the way it is...

111
00:05:55,525 --> 00:05:57,160
...we'll boycott
the tournament.

112
00:05:57,693 --> 00:05:58,693
Fact.

113
00:06:00,497 --> 00:06:02,764
Well, now...

114
00:06:02,766 --> 00:06:06,133
...we'll sure miss your pretty
faces, but go right ahead.

115
00:06:06,135 --> 00:06:07,535
Not only will we boycott,

116
00:06:07,537 --> 00:06:09,270
we'll set up
our own tournament.

117
00:06:09,272 --> 00:06:10,505
Fact.

118
00:06:10,507 --> 00:06:13,274
At the exact same time
as the Pacific Southwest.

119
00:06:13,276 --> 00:06:14,942
Fact.

120
00:06:14,944 --> 00:06:18,481
Be sure and send me tickets.
You have a good night, ladies.

121
00:06:20,383 --> 00:06:21,984
That'll never happen.

122
00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:31,161
Are we really
gonna do this?

123
00:06:32,030 --> 00:06:33,898
Sure we're gonna do this.

124
00:06:34,799 --> 00:06:37,134
How are we gonna do this?

125
00:06:39,137 --> 00:06:40,605
No idea.

126
00:06:42,305 --> 00:06:43,508
Right.

127
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,980
Did you have a busy day?

128
00:06:50,982 --> 00:06:52,917
Run off my feet.
Not a minute to think.

129
00:06:55,587 --> 00:06:57,453
Whatever it is
I'm supposed to be

130
00:06:57,455 --> 00:06:59,190
doing down there, Priscilla,
I'm not doing it.

131
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,425
Well, Daddy told me
that he thinks

132
00:07:02,427 --> 00:07:04,562
you're an integral part
of the company.

133
00:07:04,564 --> 00:07:06,096
Huh. Integral.

134
00:07:06,098 --> 00:07:08,298
Like the stapler on my desk.

135
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:09,467
Well, it's steady,

136
00:07:09,469 --> 00:07:10,736
and it's what
you need right now.

137
00:07:10,738 --> 00:07:12,639
I know. I know.

138
00:07:15,975 --> 00:07:19,175
I wonder how much peppercorns
are in here.

139
00:07:19,177 --> 00:07:21,179
I don't know, Junior.

140
00:07:21,181 --> 00:07:22,714
I'd say about a thousand.

141
00:07:22,716 --> 00:07:25,716
No way! There got to be at
least five thousand in there.

142
00:07:25,718 --> 00:07:27,720
I'd put a dollar
on a thousand.

143
00:07:27,722 --> 00:07:30,789
- Young man.
- Whoa, no, no, no.

144
00:07:30,791 --> 00:07:34,359
Young man, we do not gamble
at the dinner table.

145
00:07:34,361 --> 00:07:37,763
We do not gamble anyplace,
Bobby.

146
00:07:37,765 --> 00:07:40,801
Exactly.
We do not gamble anyplace.

147
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:44,271
No, we do not.

148
00:07:48,342 --> 00:07:50,243
One dollar.

149
00:07:50,245 --> 00:07:51,245
Come on.

150
00:07:54,216 --> 00:07:55,249
All right.

151
00:07:56,117 --> 00:07:57,917
Oh, you know what?

152
00:07:57,919 --> 00:07:59,786
I just remembered, I need
to go back to the office

153
00:07:59,788 --> 00:08:01,590
and finish up some work.

154
00:08:02,424 --> 00:08:03,656
Now?

155
00:08:03,658 --> 00:08:05,891
Your father has been
so supportive, honey,

156
00:08:05,893 --> 00:08:07,295
that I don't want
to let him down.

157
00:08:09,264 --> 00:08:11,265
Delicious. Thank you.

158
00:08:11,267 --> 00:08:12,767
See you later, kiddo.

159
00:08:19,175 --> 00:08:20,808
I'm doubling down on Jack.

160
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:22,810
Bobby, we got $1,200
on the table!

161
00:08:22,812 --> 00:08:24,881
$1,200, buddy!

162
00:08:29,953 --> 00:08:31,052
Bobby, you're not allowed

163
00:08:31,054 --> 00:08:32,755
to have dogs
that good-looking.

164
00:08:33,323 --> 00:08:34,324
Miss one!

165
00:08:35,526 --> 00:08:37,159
We got him on the run,
here we go!

166
00:08:37,161 --> 00:08:38,625
We got him on the run!

167
00:08:38,627 --> 00:08:40,195
Put the chair out there!

168
00:08:40,197 --> 00:08:42,899
Two chairs
and I'll raise you $500 each.

169
00:08:51,309 --> 00:08:52,974
Give the racket to the dog!

170
00:08:52,976 --> 00:08:55,011
Oh, too good for you.

171
00:09:01,286 --> 00:09:03,553
Jack, for the love of God!

172
00:09:03,555 --> 00:09:05,856
- Damn it.
- Good game, Jack.

173
00:09:05,858 --> 00:09:08,458
I thought I had you
this time, I really did.

174
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:10,727
That was a fine,
fine effort.

175
00:09:10,729 --> 00:09:12,097
Great try, great try.

176
00:09:12,099 --> 00:09:13,397
No, don't come over here.

177
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,266
What do you expect, Jack?
Bobby's the world champ.

178
00:09:16,268 --> 00:09:19,704
No, I had an advantage.
It was three against one.

179
00:09:19,706 --> 00:09:22,572
It was three against one.

180
00:09:22,574 --> 00:09:24,576
You know what?
He keeps betting me,

181
00:09:24,578 --> 00:09:25,976
I don't know
what to do about it.

182
00:09:25,978 --> 00:09:28,712
The thing about Jack is,
he can afford to lose.

183
00:09:28,714 --> 00:09:30,213
You got to think
about Priscilla, Bobby.

184
00:09:30,215 --> 00:09:31,182
What is she gonna say?

185
00:09:31,184 --> 00:09:33,252
- You still married, Bobby?
- Oh, barely.

186
00:09:33,254 --> 00:09:35,154
He sure will be if he shows up
in a Rolls-Royce.

187
00:09:35,156 --> 00:09:37,322
He sure as hell won't be if he
shows up in a Rolls-Royce.

188
00:09:37,324 --> 00:09:38,357
Why?

189
00:09:38,359 --> 00:09:39,458
Even Bobby
will find it tough

190
00:09:39,460 --> 00:09:40,626
to talk his way out
of that one.

191
00:09:40,628 --> 00:09:41,960
"Oh, honey, this crazy day!

192
00:09:41,962 --> 00:09:44,495
"This guy on the corner just
gave me a Silver Shadow."

193
00:09:44,497 --> 00:09:45,531
Think that'll cut it?

194
00:09:45,533 --> 00:09:46,632
Talk his way out of it?

195
00:09:46,634 --> 00:09:48,633
The man just won himself
a Rolls-Royce!

196
00:09:48,635 --> 00:09:49,735
Herb, you're not getting it.

197
00:09:49,737 --> 00:09:51,169
Bobby doesn't gamble anymore.

198
00:09:51,171 --> 00:09:52,471
Oh, he don't gamble anymore!

199
00:09:52,473 --> 00:09:53,505
No, no, no.

200
00:09:53,507 --> 00:09:54,940
Gamblers Anonymous
once a week,

201
00:09:54,942 --> 00:09:56,775
shrink twice a week.
I'm a reformed man.

202
00:09:56,777 --> 00:09:58,644
- There you are.
- Oh, there you go.

203
00:09:58,646 --> 00:10:00,180
You know what? Actually,
Lornie's got a point.

204
00:10:00,182 --> 00:10:02,180
That vehicle's kind
of big to hide.

205
00:10:02,182 --> 00:10:04,785
Jack, why don't you just
keep it for a little while?

206
00:10:04,787 --> 00:10:06,652
You saying
I'm not good for a bet?

207
00:10:06,654 --> 00:10:08,921
No, no, no.
Just keep the engine warm

208
00:10:08,923 --> 00:10:10,356
and don't nick up the paint.

209
00:10:14,695 --> 00:10:15,962
"$100,000 Girl?"

210
00:10:15,964 --> 00:10:18,832
You don't see even a senior
tour making a hundred G's.

211
00:10:18,834 --> 00:10:20,399
Oh, she reckons she ought
to get more than that.

212
00:10:20,401 --> 00:10:21,668
Same as the men.

213
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:23,937
She's not happy
with $100,000?

214
00:10:23,939 --> 00:10:26,340
That Billie Jean King,
what is her problem?

215
00:10:26,342 --> 00:10:28,041
Bobby, you got to remember,
nowadays it's all

216
00:10:28,043 --> 00:10:30,044
equality this, equality that.

217
00:10:30,046 --> 00:10:31,913
They're burning bras,
for God's sake.

218
00:10:31,915 --> 00:10:32,980
Why would they
ever pay the women

219
00:10:32,982 --> 00:10:34,315
the same as the guys?

220
00:10:34,317 --> 00:10:36,215
All I can tell you
is that there is nothing wrong

221
00:10:36,217 --> 00:10:38,820
with a nice girl in a short
skirt chasing a ball.

222
00:10:38,822 --> 00:10:40,955
You know,
I won the goddamn U.S. Open.

223
00:10:40,957 --> 00:10:43,225
I could beat Billie Jean King
or any of those women.

224
00:10:43,227 --> 00:10:45,525
But are they offering me
equal prize money on the tour?

225
00:10:45,527 --> 00:10:46,962
No, sir, I'm getting peanuts.

226
00:10:46,964 --> 00:10:48,198
Hey, there's a bet for you.

227
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,130
What's that?

228
00:10:49,132 --> 00:10:51,232
Bobby Riggs
vs. Billie Jean King.

229
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,437
I'd pay a lot to see that.

230
00:11:00,111 --> 00:11:01,345
Hey, everybody?

231
00:11:02,145 --> 00:11:03,979
I know
what you're all risking,

232
00:11:03,981 --> 00:11:06,282
because I'm risking
the exact same thing.

233
00:11:06,284 --> 00:11:07,216
More.

234
00:11:07,218 --> 00:11:10,252
No, not more.
The same.

235
00:11:10,254 --> 00:11:12,721
We're all putting our careers
on the line for this.

236
00:11:12,723 --> 00:11:14,960
So I just want to thank you
for your bravery.

237
00:11:16,195 --> 00:11:17,361
And your balls.

238
00:11:19,364 --> 00:11:21,230
Are we gonna get our hair
done before every event?

239
00:11:21,232 --> 00:11:22,999
Because I could
get used to this.

240
00:11:23,001 --> 00:11:26,003
The salon is a once-only
because the press is here.

241
00:11:26,005 --> 00:11:27,537
And because
I love you so much.

242
00:11:27,539 --> 00:11:30,241
Tomorrow the press won't be
here and I won't love you.

243
00:11:30,243 --> 00:11:31,875
This is a budget tour,
ladies...

244
00:11:31,877 --> 00:11:33,577
which means
you will be sharing rooms.

245
00:11:33,579 --> 00:11:34,644
So you might as well start

246
00:11:34,646 --> 00:11:35,846
getting to know
each other now.

247
00:11:35,848 --> 00:11:37,214
I call bunking with Val!

248
00:11:37,216 --> 00:11:39,583
I thought you were gonna
get us a sponsor, Gladys.

249
00:11:39,585 --> 00:11:41,455
I... was. I...

250
00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:43,854
...am, Rosie.

251
00:11:43,856 --> 00:11:47,892
It's just that right now
we are broke, so shut up.

252
00:11:47,894 --> 00:11:50,128
Well, wait. What about
our prize money?

253
00:11:50,130 --> 00:11:51,897
Oh, Val, why are you
worried about prize money?

254
00:11:51,899 --> 00:11:53,231
You only get that if you win.

255
00:11:54,299 --> 00:11:56,033
All right, you've got
30 minutes before

256
00:11:56,035 --> 00:11:58,604
you show your faces
to the press.

257
00:11:58,606 --> 00:12:00,038
- Hi.
- Hi.

258
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,140
I've been moving around
too much, haven't I?

259
00:12:02,142 --> 00:12:03,308
Yeah.

260
00:12:03,310 --> 00:12:06,380
I'm sorry, I've been, uh...
I'm excited.

261
00:12:07,382 --> 00:12:09,382
Or nervous or something.

262
00:12:09,384 --> 00:12:10,915
You're all tennis players?

263
00:12:10,917 --> 00:12:12,918
Yeah. You don't watch tennis?

264
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,187
Oh, no. I don't have a TV.

265
00:12:15,189 --> 00:12:17,322
But I admire
what you guys are doing.

266
00:12:17,324 --> 00:12:19,326
Sounds like you girls are
getting men to pay attention

267
00:12:19,328 --> 00:12:21,294
to what you're saying
for once.

268
00:12:21,296 --> 00:12:22,930
You know what would
really get their attention?

269
00:12:22,932 --> 00:12:24,197
A sex strike.

270
00:12:24,199 --> 00:12:27,199
What? That would punish us
just as much as the men.

271
00:12:27,201 --> 00:12:29,035
I don't think
I'd even miss it.

272
00:12:29,037 --> 00:12:31,504
My ex went about it like
he was fixing the carburetor

273
00:12:31,506 --> 00:12:32,905
on the Oldsmobile.

274
00:12:32,907 --> 00:12:34,909
And he could never
get that damn car to start.

275
00:12:35,544 --> 00:12:36,843
Rosie, come on!

276
00:12:36,845 --> 00:12:38,313
At least women know
where the carburetor is.

277
00:12:40,383 --> 00:12:41,648
So...

278
00:12:41,650 --> 00:12:43,017
...Billie Jean...

279
00:12:43,787 --> 00:12:45,422
...what do you want?

280
00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:49,558
What do you mean?

281
00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:53,861
With your hair. What do you
want to do with it?

282
00:12:53,863 --> 00:12:56,066
Oh.

283
00:12:57,401 --> 00:12:58,601
It doesn't matter.

284
00:12:58,603 --> 00:13:00,199
You can just get it
out of my face.

285
00:13:00,201 --> 00:13:02,438
You don't care
about how you look?

286
00:13:03,573 --> 00:13:05,442
Someone as pretty as you?

287
00:13:07,977 --> 00:13:10,711
Uh, it's... I'm not...

288
00:13:10,713 --> 00:13:12,415
...pret... I mean, I don't...

289
00:13:13,718 --> 00:13:16,921
Thank you for...
for saying that.

290
00:13:20,458 --> 00:13:22,060
What's your name again?

291
00:13:22,859 --> 00:13:24,195
Marilyn.

292
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:34,305
Would you let me just...
give you a little trim?

293
00:13:36,374 --> 00:13:40,277
It'll make you feel like
a whole new person.

294
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:43,313
I don't think a haircut's ever
made me feel quite like that.

295
00:13:48,454 --> 00:13:50,121
Is that perfume?

296
00:13:50,123 --> 00:13:52,155
It's lavender oil.

297
00:13:52,157 --> 00:13:55,493
I put it on my wrists
just to relax the customers.

298
00:13:55,495 --> 00:13:56,929
It's nice.

299
00:14:37,272 --> 00:14:39,206
I love it.

300
00:14:39,208 --> 00:14:40,539
Billie Jean!

301
00:14:40,541 --> 00:14:42,409
- Come on!
- I'm coming!

302
00:14:42,411 --> 00:14:43,309
All right!

303
00:14:43,311 --> 00:14:45,078
What is she doing in there?

304
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,813
It was nice to meet you.

305
00:14:46,815 --> 00:14:48,384
Nice to meet you.

306
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:52,218
You know what?

307
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:54,522
We've got a tournament
in San Diego, actually,

308
00:14:54,524 --> 00:14:57,356
next month,
and I have a lot of tickets.

309
00:14:57,358 --> 00:14:59,327
So you could just
bring everyone and...

310
00:14:59,329 --> 00:15:01,361
- Billie Jean, let's go!
- It's a lot of fun.

311
00:15:01,363 --> 00:15:03,096
Yeah, everyone's
invited to come.

312
00:15:03,098 --> 00:15:05,065
Next month in San Diego.

313
00:15:05,067 --> 00:15:06,668
So... thank you again.

314
00:15:06,670 --> 00:15:08,301
Thank you.

315
00:15:08,303 --> 00:15:09,204
Finally.

316
00:15:09,206 --> 00:15:10,371
We're gonna be late!

317
00:15:10,373 --> 00:15:13,474
Do you think there'll be
any cute photographers?

318
00:15:13,476 --> 00:15:15,577
Peaches, I know
he's very cute, but let's go.

319
00:15:15,579 --> 00:15:16,644
Girls, get in line.

320
00:15:16,646 --> 00:15:18,979
Get ready, and let's get
these contracts signed.

321
00:15:18,981 --> 00:15:20,148
Welcome to the WTA.

322
00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:23,053
Thank you so much
for joining us.

323
00:15:23,987 --> 00:15:26,121
That makes you
a professional.

324
00:15:26,123 --> 00:15:27,190
Rosie, it's a pleasure.

325
00:15:28,223 --> 00:15:28,390
Keep this going. Don't dawdle.

326
00:15:28,392 --> 00:15:29,858
One dollar, Billie Jean.

327
00:15:29,860 --> 00:15:31,093
Yeah, a whole dollar is right.

328
00:15:31,095 --> 00:15:33,261
I'm gonna save it!

329
00:15:33,263 --> 00:15:34,697
Thank you.
Welcome to the WTA.

330
00:15:34,699 --> 00:15:35,732
Where do we sit?

331
00:15:35,734 --> 00:15:36,734
Billie Jean.

332
00:15:39,004 --> 00:15:40,572
Guess who showed up.

333
00:15:42,005 --> 00:15:43,505
Judy, come on.
Don't be shy.

334
00:15:43,507 --> 00:15:45,976
This is an exciting day, girls.
Look excited.

335
00:15:45,978 --> 00:15:47,811
Thank you very much.

336
00:15:47,813 --> 00:15:50,679
Okay, girls. Come on,
let's start sitting, please.

337
00:15:50,681 --> 00:15:52,382
It's a big day, ladies.
Kerry, you're next.

338
00:15:52,384 --> 00:15:53,751
We're gonna
take a big picture.

339
00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:55,518
Billie Jean...

340
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,522
...what you're doing here
is a big mistake.

341
00:15:59,524 --> 00:16:02,258
Are you here to give us
another option, Jack?

342
00:16:02,260 --> 00:16:03,660
On behalf of the USLTA,

343
00:16:03,662 --> 00:16:07,865
I'm here to ask you girls
not to do anything hasty.

344
00:16:07,867 --> 00:16:10,167
So what are you offering?

345
00:16:10,169 --> 00:16:11,600
I'm offering to keep you in

346
00:16:11,602 --> 00:16:14,373
the United States
Lawn Tennis Association.

347
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:17,376
You're kicking us out.

348
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:20,278
You do this,
you're becoming our rivals.

349
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,082
We have no option.

350
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:24,782
I'll sure miss
your pretty face, Jack,

351
00:16:24,784 --> 00:16:27,184
but you go right ahead.

352
00:16:27,186 --> 00:16:28,887
Great.
And then we'll put Billie...

353
00:16:28,889 --> 00:16:31,323
I'm gonna have a very exciting
moment in a second.

354
00:16:31,325 --> 00:16:33,893
This is monumental.
Billie Jean?

355
00:16:33,895 --> 00:16:35,027
One minute!

356
00:16:35,029 --> 00:16:36,461
If you're not in the USLTA,

357
00:16:36,463 --> 00:16:38,763
you can't play
the Grand Slams.

358
00:16:38,765 --> 00:16:40,533
No Wimbledon. No nothing.

359
00:16:40,535 --> 00:16:42,067
I get it.

360
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:43,236
But what are your
Grand Slams

361
00:16:43,238 --> 00:16:45,804
without the greatest
women players in the world?

362
00:16:45,806 --> 00:16:47,740
They're not so grand.

363
00:16:47,742 --> 00:16:50,444
So I appreciate you coming,
Jack, very much...

364
00:16:50,446 --> 00:16:51,911
...but if you have
nothing to offer us,

365
00:16:51,913 --> 00:16:53,782
I have a contract to sign.

366
00:16:55,683 --> 00:16:56,817
Bye, Jack.

367
00:16:59,587 --> 00:17:03,525
Okay, girls, hold
those dollars up. Beautiful.

368
00:17:04,593 --> 00:17:07,161
Smile, girls.
This isn't a funeral.

369
00:17:07,163 --> 00:17:09,297
Hold up that dollar.

370
00:17:11,801 --> 00:17:12,767
Keep smiling, ladies,

371
00:17:12,769 --> 00:17:14,969
but we've just been
kicked out of the USLTA.

372
00:17:14,971 --> 00:17:16,171
What?

373
00:17:17,073 --> 00:17:19,675
Wave them
so Jack can see them!

374
00:17:21,244 --> 00:17:25,313
Yep, it's a dollar, girls.
Remember that... One dollar.

375
00:17:38,095 --> 00:17:40,262
Is that it? For all of you?

376
00:17:40,264 --> 00:17:41,865
Can I have some ketchup?

377
00:17:44,234 --> 00:17:46,134
Who died?

378
00:17:46,136 --> 00:17:47,670
Hey, Gladys.

379
00:17:47,672 --> 00:17:51,105
Oh, I get it.
It's all my fault.

380
00:17:51,107 --> 00:17:53,142
Well, Gladys has got
just the thing

381
00:17:53,144 --> 00:17:55,747
for you miserable ingrates.

382
00:17:59,283 --> 00:18:00,683
Cigarettes?

383
00:18:00,685 --> 00:18:03,119
Ladies and gentle-ladies,
may I present to you

384
00:18:03,121 --> 00:18:05,254
the Virginia Slims
Championships.

385
00:18:05,256 --> 00:18:08,258
A Gladys Heldman/Philip Morris
co-production.

386
00:18:08,260 --> 00:18:09,927
Smoking your guts out across

387
00:18:09,929 --> 00:18:11,294
the United States
of America...

388
00:18:11,296 --> 00:18:13,663
...in exchange for twelve
months funding...

389
00:18:13,665 --> 00:18:16,669
...and prize money
of... drum roll, please...

390
00:18:19,171 --> 00:18:21,071
...$7,000.

391
00:18:21,073 --> 00:18:22,572
- Really?
- Way to go, Mom!

392
00:18:22,574 --> 00:18:24,808
- For every tournament?
- For every tournament.

393
00:18:24,810 --> 00:18:28,211
That ought to perk up
your lousy second serve.

394
00:18:29,449 --> 00:18:31,850
You do the tennis,
I'll do the smoking.

395
00:18:31,852 --> 00:18:35,285
My girls, from now on
we are fully funded.

396
00:18:35,287 --> 00:18:36,821
I put in a call
to Ted Tinling,

397
00:18:36,823 --> 00:18:40,691
who's gonna be our personal
couturier on tour.

398
00:18:40,693 --> 00:18:42,426
You're each gonna
have your own tennis dresses

399
00:18:42,428 --> 00:18:45,029
designed specially for you.

400
00:18:45,031 --> 00:18:46,497
And I put in a call
to every woman

401
00:18:46,499 --> 00:18:48,067
who's ever picked up a racket.

402
00:18:48,069 --> 00:18:49,099
Guess who's already signed on.

403
00:18:49,101 --> 00:18:50,202
Oh. Oh.

404
00:18:50,204 --> 00:18:52,305
Don't guess. Margaret Court.

405
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:56,075
"The Arm."
Billie Jean, are you scared?

406
00:18:56,077 --> 00:18:57,676
I can take her.

407
00:18:57,678 --> 00:18:58,744
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

408
00:18:58,746 --> 00:19:00,613
Well, you'll get
your chance soon enough.

409
00:19:00,615 --> 00:19:02,982
Waitress!
Ice cream sundaes all around.

410
00:19:02,984 --> 00:19:05,217
We're in the money.

411
00:19:05,219 --> 00:19:06,484
But...

412
00:19:06,486 --> 00:19:09,023
...not all around.
Just my table and these two.

413
00:19:09,025 --> 00:19:11,890
Let's try the buttercup,
lemony sort of hue.

414
00:19:11,892 --> 00:19:15,228
But I don't really feel it
pops with your complexion,

415
00:19:15,230 --> 00:19:17,229
so let's try the blue.

416
00:19:17,231 --> 00:19:19,231
Oh! It's wonderful, Ted.

417
00:19:19,233 --> 00:19:21,602
- You like it?
- I love it!

418
00:19:21,604 --> 00:19:23,070
And what will the esteemed

419
00:19:23,072 --> 00:19:26,073
Lawn Tennis Association
say about this?

420
00:19:26,075 --> 00:19:27,908
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you,

421
00:19:27,910 --> 00:19:31,280
for the first time
in the history of tennis...

422
00:19:31,682 --> 00:19:33,079
...color!

423
00:19:33,081 --> 00:19:35,450
The shock will kill
the old dears.

424
00:19:50,233 --> 00:19:51,666
87 KMRP.

425
00:19:51,668 --> 00:19:53,301
It's twelve minutes
after 7:00,

426
00:19:53,303 --> 00:19:55,368
and we are privileged,
tennis fans...

427
00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:57,773
...to have the great
Billie Jean King

428
00:19:57,775 --> 00:19:59,809
in the studio with us today,
along with a...

429
00:19:59,811 --> 00:20:02,410
...a lot of very lively
WTA tennis players.

430
00:20:02,412 --> 00:20:04,013
Say hi, ladies.

431
00:20:04,015 --> 00:20:05,380
Hi.

432
00:20:05,382 --> 00:20:07,950
The word is that you gals
are renegades

433
00:20:07,952 --> 00:20:10,151
from the tennis establishment.
Is that right?

434
00:20:10,153 --> 00:20:11,254
Yeah.

435
00:20:11,256 --> 00:20:12,589
The U.S. Lawn
Tennis Association

436
00:20:12,591 --> 00:20:14,725
wasn't really giving us women
our fair share,

437
00:20:14,727 --> 00:20:16,159
so we thought...

438
00:20:16,161 --> 00:20:17,693
..."Hey, we'll do it
on our own."

439
00:20:17,695 --> 00:20:19,028
Taking the bull by the horns.

440
00:20:19,030 --> 00:20:20,529
That's right.

441
00:20:20,531 --> 00:20:21,565
Here's the inside scoop:

442
00:20:21,567 --> 00:20:22,833
We do everything.

443
00:20:22,835 --> 00:20:25,201
We are the ones laying down
the courts.

444
00:20:25,203 --> 00:20:27,069
We're selling tickets.

445
00:20:27,071 --> 00:20:28,271
We're doing publicity.

446
00:20:28,273 --> 00:20:30,840
And we have to fit in practice
somewhere in between there.

447
00:20:30,842 --> 00:20:32,576
We are also
trying to get tennis away

448
00:20:32,578 --> 00:20:34,712
from the stuffy old
country club sport.

449
00:20:34,714 --> 00:20:36,580
We want it to be
for everybody.

450
00:20:36,582 --> 00:20:39,817
It's 1973, so... we could
update a couple things.

451
00:20:40,719 --> 00:20:42,086
Now, you all
play each other

452
00:20:42,088 --> 00:20:43,419
in the tournaments and...

453
00:20:43,421 --> 00:20:45,589
...you room together as well.

454
00:20:45,591 --> 00:20:47,858
So how does that work
when you have to room

455
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:49,426
with somebody
who just beat you...

456
00:20:49,428 --> 00:20:50,629
...or who you just defeated?

457
00:20:50,631 --> 00:20:52,729
It's fine,
because I usually win.

458
00:20:52,731 --> 00:20:54,631
Oh. That's not true at all.

459
00:20:54,633 --> 00:20:56,869
It's fine if you're not
rooming with Rosie.

460
00:20:56,871 --> 00:20:59,736
Oh, okay. Don't room with
Rosie... That's the message.

461
00:20:59,738 --> 00:21:02,975
We're also, you know,
united for a greater cause.

462
00:21:02,977 --> 00:21:04,776
So it keeps the focus
on something else.

463
00:21:04,778 --> 00:21:06,344
It's bigger than the match.

464
00:21:06,346 --> 00:21:08,580
Nice to meet you. Bye!

465
00:21:08,582 --> 00:21:12,317
Do you all consider yourselves
women's libbers?

466
00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:13,852
- Oh, sure.
- I think so.

467
00:21:13,854 --> 00:21:15,755
What we're doing here
is trying to prove

468
00:21:15,757 --> 00:21:18,391
that women should be paid
and respected equally.

469
00:21:18,393 --> 00:21:19,893
We're just as entertaining
as the men.

470
00:21:19,895 --> 00:21:21,794
You're definitely
cuter than the men.

471
00:21:23,798 --> 00:21:26,232
It must get a little
lonely out there on the road.

472
00:21:26,234 --> 00:21:28,734
Don't you ever miss
your husbands?

473
00:21:28,736 --> 00:21:31,003
Sure. Of course we do.

474
00:21:31,005 --> 00:21:33,607
I talk to Larry
on the phone every day.

475
00:21:33,609 --> 00:21:36,341
We're used to it. As pros,
we're not home very often.

476
00:21:36,343 --> 00:21:38,012
And some of us
don't have husbands.

477
00:21:38,014 --> 00:21:38,913
Whoa.

478
00:21:38,915 --> 00:21:40,781
Single men,
you heard it here first.

479
00:21:40,783 --> 00:21:43,251
Some of these ladies
are single themselves.

480
00:21:43,253 --> 00:21:45,886
Especially Peaches.
Come on out.

481
00:21:45,888 --> 00:21:48,223
- Yeah, bring your daughters.
- Or your sons.

482
00:21:48,225 --> 00:21:49,390
Or bring everyone.

483
00:21:49,392 --> 00:21:51,257
You could bring
your whole family.

484
00:21:51,259 --> 00:21:52,525
That's the point of this tour.

485
00:21:52,527 --> 00:21:55,197
It's for everyone,
and it's a whole lot of fun.

486
00:21:55,199 --> 00:21:57,631
You heard it here, folks.
We'll get in more music,

487
00:21:57,633 --> 00:21:58,999
but we got tickets
to give away,

488
00:21:59,001 --> 00:22:00,535
so give us a call.

489
00:22:00,537 --> 00:22:02,103
Thanks for coming by, ladies.

490
00:22:02,105 --> 00:22:03,403
Thank you for having us.

491
00:22:03,405 --> 00:22:05,708
- Good luck.
- Come on out!

492
00:22:14,283 --> 00:22:16,753
It's not exactly the Ritz.

493
00:22:18,656 --> 00:22:21,022
Margaret Court!
Welcome to the nuthouse.

494
00:22:21,024 --> 00:22:22,992
- Hi, Ted.
- Hey, Margaret.

495
00:22:22,994 --> 00:22:24,059
Billie Jean.

496
00:22:24,061 --> 00:22:26,695
If you're looking for
the restaurant or the spa

497
00:22:26,697 --> 00:22:28,830
or the swimming pool,
there isn't one.

498
00:22:28,832 --> 00:22:30,066
But if you're looking
for the tickets

499
00:22:30,068 --> 00:22:32,401
you're gonna sell
at the intersection...

500
00:22:32,403 --> 00:22:33,936
they're right here.

501
00:22:33,938 --> 00:22:36,608
Have a lovely evening.
Darling child.

502
00:22:45,317 --> 00:22:46,483
She's never liked me.

503
00:22:46,485 --> 00:22:47,852
Who? Gladys?

504
00:22:47,854 --> 00:22:50,953
No, the great
Billie Jean King.

505
00:22:50,955 --> 00:22:52,289
You just do your talking

506
00:22:52,291 --> 00:22:53,759
on the court, honey.

507
00:22:54,594 --> 00:22:56,559
Come on, cross over!

508
00:22:56,561 --> 00:22:57,862
You can do it. There you go.

509
00:22:57,864 --> 00:22:59,329
Watch out for the alligators.

510
00:22:59,331 --> 00:23:00,632
I'm watching out
for the alligator.

511
00:23:00,634 --> 00:23:02,299
You watch out
for the alligator.

512
00:23:02,301 --> 00:23:04,568
I'm going across
the wobbly bridge.

513
00:23:04,570 --> 00:23:07,305
Your mother's always
watching us. Right here.

514
00:23:07,307 --> 00:23:08,607
Right here. Okay.

515
00:23:08,609 --> 00:23:10,040
That'll burn you
right to the bones.

516
00:23:10,042 --> 00:23:11,142
That's quicksand.

517
00:23:11,144 --> 00:23:13,579
That's quicksand, all right.
Acid quicksand.

518
00:23:13,581 --> 00:23:15,848
That's why you never
see any of your siblings.

519
00:23:15,850 --> 00:23:17,647
Two rocks.
Don't fall in the quicksand!

520
00:23:17,649 --> 00:23:19,583
Don't fall in the quicksand!

521
00:23:19,585 --> 00:23:22,588
Okay. One more rock
and we're there.

522
00:23:22,590 --> 00:23:24,724
- Good. You got it.
- What if I don't make it?

523
00:23:24,726 --> 00:23:25,858
You can make it!
You're a Riggs,

524
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:28,593
you're gonna make it.
One, two, three...

525
00:23:28,595 --> 00:23:30,797
Whoa, whoa.

526
00:23:31,466 --> 00:23:33,535
Well, we almost made it.

527
00:23:37,006 --> 00:23:39,237
Hey, honey!
Could you get that?

528
00:23:39,239 --> 00:23:40,372
Okay.

529
00:23:40,374 --> 00:23:42,210
I'm reading Junior a story.

530
00:23:46,248 --> 00:23:47,514
Bobby?

531
00:23:47,516 --> 00:23:49,382
Do you know anything
about a, uh...

532
00:23:49,384 --> 00:23:52,653
Rolls-Royce! Cool!

533
00:23:52,655 --> 00:23:54,256
Damn it, Jack.

534
00:23:55,924 --> 00:23:58,260
Mom, it's got a TV!

535
00:23:59,862 --> 00:24:01,094
Oh, my God.

536
00:24:01,096 --> 00:24:03,130
I know, I know. Um...

537
00:24:03,132 --> 00:24:04,097
It was Jack's idea.

538
00:24:04,099 --> 00:24:05,832
You are like a little kid,
you know that?

539
00:24:05,834 --> 00:24:07,703
Well, you're good with kids.

540
00:24:07,705 --> 00:24:09,403
After everything
we talked about?

541
00:24:09,405 --> 00:24:11,307
Everything you promised me?

542
00:24:16,544 --> 00:24:18,881
Okay, okay, I get it.
Give me those.

543
00:24:21,151 --> 00:24:23,685
Where are you going?

544
00:24:23,687 --> 00:24:26,121
- Can I come, too?
- No, you can't come.

545
00:24:26,123 --> 00:24:27,157
Junior!

546
00:24:31,961 --> 00:24:34,296
- All right.
- Thanks, Mrs. Court.

547
00:24:34,298 --> 00:24:35,900
Thanks for coming.

548
00:24:36,701 --> 00:24:38,167
Did you like it?

549
00:24:38,169 --> 00:24:39,303
It was amazing.

550
00:24:40,939 --> 00:24:42,938
- Thanks for coming.
- Thank you.

551
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:45,307
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

552
00:24:45,309 --> 00:24:46,644
Nice hair.

553
00:24:47,177 --> 00:24:48,711
You came!

554
00:24:48,713 --> 00:24:51,617
Why didn't you tell me
how good you are?

555
00:24:52,149 --> 00:24:53,618
Ah, well.

556
00:24:55,554 --> 00:24:57,721
Can I ask you a question?

557
00:24:57,723 --> 00:25:00,326
You may.
I may not answer it.

558
00:25:01,726 --> 00:25:03,629
Do you like dancing?

559
00:25:05,030 --> 00:25:06,165
I do.

560
00:25:06,899 --> 00:25:08,198
Yeah.

561
00:25:36,262 --> 00:25:38,631
I can't believe
how you move on the court.

562
00:25:38,633 --> 00:25:41,500
It's like watching
some kind of...

563
00:25:41,502 --> 00:25:43,135
...wild animal.

564
00:25:43,137 --> 00:25:45,270
Aw, come on.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

565
00:25:45,272 --> 00:25:49,811
Enjoyed it? I've never seen
anything like it! It was...

566
00:25:50,744 --> 00:25:53,346
It must be intoxicating.

567
00:25:53,348 --> 00:25:54,983
What? Playing tennis?

568
00:25:56,918 --> 00:25:58,987
Being inside your skin.

569
00:25:59,487 --> 00:26:01,487
Excuse me.

570
00:26:01,489 --> 00:26:04,158
I'm so sorry for doing this.

571
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,659
Mrs. King,
I'm such a huge fan.

572
00:26:06,661 --> 00:26:08,495
Oh. Thank you so much.

573
00:26:08,497 --> 00:26:09,796
I'm Miles.

574
00:26:09,798 --> 00:26:11,131
Miles. Great to meet you.

575
00:26:11,133 --> 00:26:13,600
Do you dance
as well as you serve?

576
00:26:13,602 --> 00:26:14,936
Oh, thanks, I don't think...

577
00:26:14,938 --> 00:26:17,071
Tonight we're just gonna
stay here and watch.

578
00:26:17,073 --> 00:26:19,338
- Okay.
- But nice to meet you, Miles.

579
00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:20,408
You, too.

580
00:26:21,210 --> 00:26:22,944
I'd love to dance!

581
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,116
Well, sure thing.

582
00:27:13,598 --> 00:27:15,266
Let me do yours?

583
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:27,012
You're perfect.

584
00:27:32,618 --> 00:27:33,751
I got to go soon.

585
00:27:33,753 --> 00:27:35,220
What?

586
00:27:35,222 --> 00:27:36,620
- No.
- Yeah.

587
00:27:36,622 --> 00:27:38,622
I got to get a bus
back to L.A.

588
00:27:38,624 --> 00:27:39,890
No, it's too late for that.

589
00:27:39,892 --> 00:27:41,928
You can't take
a bus right now.

590
00:27:42,629 --> 00:27:45,030
You can stay in my room.

591
00:27:45,032 --> 00:27:47,968
I've got two beds.
Honestly, it's no trouble.

592
00:27:48,501 --> 00:27:49,501
Okay.

593
00:27:50,336 --> 00:27:51,637
Thanks.

594
00:27:51,639 --> 00:27:53,207
Sure. Yeah.

595
00:28:01,782 --> 00:28:03,250
This is me.

596
00:28:03,651 --> 00:28:04,852
Us.

597
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:06,385
Me.

598
00:28:16,931 --> 00:28:18,665
So, Gladys used to
make us share rooms,

599
00:28:18,667 --> 00:28:21,534
but we can afford our own now.

600
00:28:21,536 --> 00:28:23,203
I usually take the bed
closest to the window.

601
00:28:23,205 --> 00:28:26,207
But it's fine! Take
whichever one you want.

602
00:28:53,303 --> 00:28:54,571
I'm married.

603
00:28:57,575 --> 00:28:59,606
That's okay.

604
00:28:59,608 --> 00:29:02,346
I've got a boyfriend.
Sort of.

605
00:29:04,581 --> 00:29:06,184
But you, uh...

606
00:29:07,717 --> 00:29:09,185
...you...

607
00:29:12,824 --> 00:29:15,292
...with women... too?

608
00:29:17,862 --> 00:29:19,062
Yeah.

609
00:29:20,598 --> 00:29:22,600
- Do you?
- No.

610
00:29:24,002 --> 00:29:25,603
No, never. I'm...

611
00:29:27,273 --> 00:29:29,475
There's only ever been Larry.

612
00:29:32,311 --> 00:29:33,579
So...

613
00:29:35,613 --> 00:29:37,216
...can I kiss you?

614
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:42,388
Mmm.

615
00:30:01,441 --> 00:30:04,478
We can take it slow,
that's okay. There's no...

616
00:30:41,783 --> 00:30:43,183
I have to, Mare.

617
00:30:43,185 --> 00:30:46,053
It's one of the few sure
things I can count on in life.

618
00:30:46,055 --> 00:30:47,154
Come on, Rhoda.

619
00:30:47,156 --> 00:30:48,821
You love your mother
and you know it.

620
00:30:48,823 --> 00:30:50,222
Of course I love her.

621
00:30:50,224 --> 00:30:51,726
I just think she's holding
a grudge because

622
00:30:51,728 --> 00:30:52,926
I didn't go
into the profession

623
00:30:52,928 --> 00:30:54,428
she picked out for me:

624
00:30:54,430 --> 00:30:55,697
Housewife.

625
00:30:58,534 --> 00:31:00,402
My mother, she's here!

626
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:03,972
You're beautiful.

627
00:31:03,974 --> 00:31:05,205
And in sporting news,

628
00:31:05,207 --> 00:31:07,340
we turn to the world
of women's tennis...

629
00:31:07,342 --> 00:31:10,077
...as Billie Jean King beat
Kristy Pigeon today,

630
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:12,613
two sets to zero,
in San Diego.

631
00:31:12,615 --> 00:31:15,752
Next, the Virginia Slims tour
heads to Los Angeles.

632
00:31:15,754 --> 00:31:18,519
In baseball, the Yankees
have started 0 and 3

633
00:31:18,521 --> 00:31:21,157
after being swept on the road
by the Red Sox.

634
00:31:33,137 --> 00:31:35,137
Oh, it's Larry.

635
00:31:35,139 --> 00:31:37,240
Oh, God, what if it's Gladys?

636
00:31:37,242 --> 00:31:39,107
Jesus,
what if it's my parents?

637
00:31:39,109 --> 00:31:41,545
Well, none of 'em can see
down the phone, can they?

638
00:31:41,547 --> 00:31:44,114
Don't joke. Don't joke.
Just don't...

639
00:31:44,116 --> 00:31:45,316
Don't say anything, okay?

640
00:31:45,318 --> 00:31:48,320
Just be quiet.
Just be quiet, okay?

641
00:31:49,854 --> 00:31:51,121
Hello?

642
00:31:51,123 --> 00:31:52,857
Eureka!

643
00:31:52,859 --> 00:31:54,023
Hello?

644
00:31:54,025 --> 00:31:55,157
Eureka, Billie Jean!

645
00:31:55,159 --> 00:31:56,292
Who is this?

646
00:31:56,294 --> 00:31:58,161
It's Bobby. Bobby Riggs.

647
00:31:58,163 --> 00:32:00,899
Bobby?
How'd you get my number?

648
00:32:00,901 --> 00:32:02,633
Called every hotel
in San Diego.

649
00:32:02,635 --> 00:32:04,302
Listen, I had a great idea.

650
00:32:04,304 --> 00:32:06,204
Okay. Well, it's after
midnight, Bobby,

651
00:32:06,206 --> 00:32:08,005
so can we talk another time?

652
00:32:08,007 --> 00:32:09,073
You and me, Billie Jean.

653
00:32:09,075 --> 00:32:12,044
Three sets,
five sets... Your choice.

654
00:32:12,046 --> 00:32:13,277
Are you drunk, Bobby?

655
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:14,546
No, of course not!

656
00:32:14,548 --> 00:32:17,415
How about this:
"Man vs. Woman."

657
00:32:17,417 --> 00:32:20,451
"Male Chauvinist Pig
vs. Hairy-Legged Feminist".

658
00:32:20,453 --> 00:32:23,555
No offense. You're still
a feminist, right?

659
00:32:23,557 --> 00:32:26,157
No, I'm a tennis player
who happens to be a woman.

660
00:32:26,159 --> 00:32:28,294
That's right.
That's exactly who you are.

661
00:32:28,296 --> 00:32:31,562
And I am a tennis player
who happens to be a man...

662
00:32:31,564 --> 00:32:33,966
...who says that he can beat
any woman on the planet.

663
00:32:33,968 --> 00:32:36,536
Think of the publicity that
we get. Think of the money.

664
00:32:36,538 --> 00:32:37,802
No.

665
00:32:37,804 --> 00:32:39,504
Thirty-five grand.

666
00:32:39,506 --> 00:32:41,339
Where'd you get
that kind of money?

667
00:32:41,341 --> 00:32:43,976
- You see? You're tempted.
- I'm really not.

668
00:32:43,978 --> 00:32:45,712
I'm not interested, Bobby.
Good night.

669
00:32:45,714 --> 00:32:47,080
Don't hang up.

670
00:32:47,082 --> 00:32:49,551
And by the way,
I shave my legs.

671
00:32:52,955 --> 00:32:54,620
Who was that?

672
00:32:54,622 --> 00:32:58,690
That was just some crazy old
hustler trying to get a game.

673
00:32:58,692 --> 00:32:59,627
I hope you don't mind.

674
00:32:59,629 --> 00:33:01,697
I borrowed something
to sleep in.

675
00:33:03,966 --> 00:33:05,301
Marilyn.

676
00:33:07,603 --> 00:33:08,604
Ah.

677
00:33:10,374 --> 00:33:12,841
You're gonna give me
the speech, aren't you?

678
00:33:12,843 --> 00:33:14,444
I'm sorry.

679
00:33:15,578 --> 00:33:17,511
Whatever I...

680
00:33:17,513 --> 00:33:20,850
...may feel,
I can't act on it.

681
00:33:23,052 --> 00:33:26,455
There's too much at stake.
I mean the tennis tour and...

682
00:33:26,457 --> 00:33:27,722
Yeah.

683
00:33:27,724 --> 00:33:29,857
And I have my husband.

684
00:33:29,859 --> 00:33:31,627
He's a great...

685
00:33:31,629 --> 00:33:35,362
...person, and he would be
heartbroken if he found out.

686
00:33:35,364 --> 00:33:38,100
And my parents
would never speak to me again.

687
00:33:38,102 --> 00:33:39,570
Hey, hey, hey.

688
00:33:40,237 --> 00:33:41,705
I get it.

689
00:33:42,573 --> 00:33:43,707
Okay.

690
00:33:53,852 --> 00:33:55,220
Oh, hey.

691
00:33:55,886 --> 00:33:57,188
Thanks.

692
00:34:02,394 --> 00:34:04,329
- 'Night.
- Good night.

693
00:34:23,516 --> 00:34:24,516
Hi.

694
00:34:34,294 --> 00:34:35,927
Hello?

695
00:34:35,929 --> 00:34:37,928
Larry, are you awake?

696
00:34:37,930 --> 00:34:39,800
- Dad?
- Can I come up?

697
00:34:40,667 --> 00:34:42,067
Okay.

698
00:34:50,911 --> 00:34:52,645
Hey there, kiddo.

699
00:34:52,647 --> 00:34:53,647
Hey.

700
00:34:56,817 --> 00:34:58,418
Just for tonight.

701
00:34:59,788 --> 00:35:01,688
Maybe tomorrow.

702
00:35:01,690 --> 00:35:02,825
Sure, sure.

703
00:35:05,926 --> 00:35:08,195
Oh, a little misunderstanding.

704
00:35:08,197 --> 00:35:11,097
Sometimes Priscilla
goes off the deep end.

705
00:35:11,099 --> 00:35:13,302
Oh, hey... did you see
my Rolls-Royce?

706
00:35:14,068 --> 00:35:16,236
Yeah, that's cool, Dad.

707
00:35:16,238 --> 00:35:17,502
You gonna live in it?

708
00:35:17,504 --> 00:35:19,873
Yeah, well, I could. I could.
It's big enough.

709
00:35:19,875 --> 00:35:22,844
But no, no, no. I got plans, Larry.
Big plans.

710
00:35:22,846 --> 00:35:23,847
Right.

711
00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:29,350
Yeah, well,
I've... heard 'em.

712
00:35:29,352 --> 00:35:30,819
All of 'em.

713
00:35:31,386 --> 00:35:32,819
Good night, kiddo.

714
00:35:32,821 --> 00:35:33,855
Good night, Dad.

715
00:35:49,975 --> 00:35:51,442
Priscilla!

716
00:35:52,142 --> 00:35:53,610
Honey!

717
00:35:54,711 --> 00:35:56,012
Honey!

718
00:35:56,014 --> 00:35:58,114
Honey, come on.

719
00:35:58,116 --> 00:36:00,483
Not even a fresh pair
of underpants?

720
00:36:01,019 --> 00:36:02,486
Toothbrush?

721
00:36:05,122 --> 00:36:07,626
Can't we just talk about this?

722
00:36:12,130 --> 00:36:13,898
You know... Oh.

723
00:36:17,303 --> 00:36:18,502
Oh.

724
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,508
Thank you!

725
00:36:29,415 --> 00:36:31,781
My name is Bobby
and I am an addict.

726
00:36:31,783 --> 00:36:33,318
Hi, Bobby.

727
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,954
At least
that's what Priscilla says.

728
00:36:35,956 --> 00:36:38,659
She's gonna leave me
unless I quit gambling.

729
00:36:40,693 --> 00:36:42,895
Puzzles me, though,
that word: "Gambling."

730
00:36:44,598 --> 00:36:46,463
Whenever Priscilla gets a car
out of the garage,

731
00:36:46,465 --> 00:36:47,731
she's gambling big time.

732
00:36:47,733 --> 00:36:50,435
Never checks the mirror.
Sticks it in reverse.

733
00:36:50,437 --> 00:36:52,336
Puts her foot down,
right out onto the highway.

734
00:36:52,338 --> 00:36:54,739
Jeez Louise, that's gambling!

735
00:36:54,741 --> 00:36:58,043
But here I am,
Gamblers Anonymous.

736
00:36:58,045 --> 00:37:00,446
And your point is what, Bobby?

737
00:37:00,448 --> 00:37:03,582
My point is this:
Life's a gamble, right?

738
00:37:03,584 --> 00:37:05,451
That's the thrill of it!

739
00:37:05,453 --> 00:37:06,984
You know,
you folks aren't here

740
00:37:06,986 --> 00:37:08,721
because you're gamblers.

741
00:37:08,723 --> 00:37:11,925
You are here because
you are terrible gamblers.

742
00:37:11,927 --> 00:37:13,124
Well, let's...

743
00:37:13,126 --> 00:37:16,362
That's the problem. You lose,
and that's why you're here.

744
00:37:16,364 --> 00:37:17,496
Okay, Bobby...

745
00:37:17,498 --> 00:37:18,765
I've been looking at you
guys yammering on

746
00:37:18,767 --> 00:37:20,499
about all of your stuff and...

747
00:37:20,501 --> 00:37:23,202
..."Oh, woe is me"
and "This is terrible."

748
00:37:23,204 --> 00:37:24,737
But you know
what the problem is?

749
00:37:24,739 --> 00:37:26,473
The problem is
you don't have a "thing."

750
00:37:26,475 --> 00:37:28,341
- Can we just...
- They don't have a thing.

751
00:37:28,343 --> 00:37:30,109
They need an edge.
You need an angle,

752
00:37:30,111 --> 00:37:31,778
an inside track, something...

753
00:37:31,780 --> 00:37:34,614
...that's gonna turn you from
being a gambler to a hustler.

754
00:37:34,616 --> 00:37:35,748
All right, Bobby, thank you.

755
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:36,917
From a loser to a winner.

756
00:37:36,919 --> 00:37:39,019
Why should we give up
the one thing in life

757
00:37:39,021 --> 00:37:40,754
that we really love?

758
00:37:40,756 --> 00:37:42,956
These folks don't need to stop
what they're doing,

759
00:37:42,958 --> 00:37:44,625
they just need
to get better at it.

760
00:37:44,627 --> 00:37:46,895
- Okay, Bobby, please.
- Who's dealing? Who's in?

761
00:37:47,698 --> 00:37:48,698
Huh?

762
00:37:50,133 --> 00:37:51,664
I'm heartbroken.

763
00:37:51,666 --> 00:37:53,668
I don't know why
she won't meet me halfway.

764
00:37:53,670 --> 00:37:56,369
I mean, is that too
unreasonable to ask?

765
00:37:56,371 --> 00:37:57,670
Have you considered
you might be

766
00:37:57,672 --> 00:37:59,307
coming at this from
the wrong angle?

767
00:37:59,309 --> 00:38:02,811
Every angle, Doc. I have tried
every angle, believe me.

768
00:38:02,813 --> 00:38:04,645
I know we've discussed
this before.

769
00:38:04,647 --> 00:38:06,415
Oh, I don't know.

770
00:38:06,417 --> 00:38:09,284
You're an alpha male.
She's an alpha female.

771
00:38:09,286 --> 00:38:10,519
Maybe you have
to face the fact

772
00:38:10,521 --> 00:38:12,421
that she's just not
the right woman for you.

773
00:38:12,423 --> 00:38:14,422
Nah, I understand
what you're saying...

774
00:38:14,424 --> 00:38:15,692
...but Billie Jean would make

775
00:38:15,694 --> 00:38:17,960
the best match
by a million miles.

776
00:38:17,962 --> 00:38:22,231
She is the leader of
these women. The face.

777
00:38:22,233 --> 00:38:25,535
At this rate, she's not even
gonna be Number 1 next season.

778
00:38:25,537 --> 00:38:26,669
She's not?

779
00:38:26,671 --> 00:38:29,437
Nope. Margaret Court.

780
00:38:29,439 --> 00:38:32,477
Really? The Arm's
gonna be Number 1?

781
00:38:33,777 --> 00:38:34,779
Huh.

782
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,614
Stick or twist?

783
00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:38,749
Twist.

784
00:38:40,017 --> 00:38:42,119
Jack of Hearts. Too bad.

785
00:38:42,121 --> 00:38:45,556
The point is, not only is
Margaret gonna be Number 1...

786
00:38:45,558 --> 00:38:48,024
...but she's a different
kind of woman.

787
00:38:48,026 --> 00:38:49,727
You think she'd play me?

788
00:38:49,729 --> 00:38:51,696
She's a nice
old-fashioned girl, Bobby.

789
00:38:51,698 --> 00:38:53,665
She'll do as
she's damn well told.

790
00:38:58,137 --> 00:39:00,204
I shouldn't have had so much
to drink last night.

791
00:39:00,206 --> 00:39:01,606
It's inexcusable.

792
00:39:01,608 --> 00:39:03,341
You had like half a drink.

793
00:39:03,343 --> 00:39:05,243
Well... that's half
a drink too many.

794
00:39:05,245 --> 00:39:06,611
It's the finals this week.

795
00:39:06,613 --> 00:39:08,447
Where are my keys?

796
00:39:08,449 --> 00:39:10,084
I think they're in your hand.

797
00:39:10,617 --> 00:39:12,686
Thank you. Okay.

798
00:39:13,620 --> 00:39:14,787
You should leave now.

799
00:39:14,789 --> 00:39:16,221
Then I'll follow
in about five minutes.

800
00:39:16,223 --> 00:39:17,122
All right.

801
00:39:17,124 --> 00:39:18,625
Or actually that will
seem suspicious.

802
00:39:18,627 --> 00:39:20,192
Maybe you should
just stay here.

803
00:39:20,194 --> 00:39:21,195
Okay.

804
00:39:23,231 --> 00:39:25,699
You said
you'd give me a ride.

805
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,502
Right. Right.

806
00:39:28,504 --> 00:39:30,203
Right on. Okay.

807
00:39:30,205 --> 00:39:31,337
Ready to go?
Got everything?

808
00:39:31,339 --> 00:39:32,471
Yeah.

809
00:39:32,473 --> 00:39:34,808
Sorry about that.
I'm just a little...

810
00:39:42,685 --> 00:39:44,651
Be careful
with that mannequin, Henry.

811
00:39:44,653 --> 00:39:46,755
Of course, Ted.

812
00:39:49,291 --> 00:39:51,292
Well, look what we have here.

813
00:39:51,294 --> 00:39:52,259
Late!

814
00:39:52,261 --> 00:39:54,428
And a little deshabille,
wouldn't you say?

815
00:39:54,430 --> 00:39:57,566
I would, Henry.
I most definitely would.

816
00:39:57,568 --> 00:39:59,566
And what
do you think Larry would say?

817
00:39:59,568 --> 00:40:00,970
He must know.

818
00:40:02,171 --> 00:40:03,837
Well, there's knowing...

819
00:40:03,839 --> 00:40:05,439
...and there's knowing.

820
00:40:05,441 --> 00:40:06,675
Nobody later than four.

821
00:40:06,677 --> 00:40:08,009
Rosie? Where's Rosie?

822
00:40:08,011 --> 00:40:09,011
I'm here.

823
00:40:10,279 --> 00:40:12,247
No more
speeding tickets, okay?

824
00:40:12,249 --> 00:40:14,582
This is tennis, not NASCAR.

825
00:40:14,584 --> 00:40:16,884
And girls, I am begging you,
for God's sake...

826
00:40:16,886 --> 00:40:18,853
some Slims at the photo call.

827
00:40:18,855 --> 00:40:20,588
They've been great to us,

828
00:40:20,590 --> 00:40:22,925
and we need them
to renew our contract.

829
00:40:22,927 --> 00:40:25,796
And I like it.
I mean, look at me. Mmm.

830
00:40:26,863 --> 00:40:28,464
Right?

831
00:40:28,466 --> 00:40:30,602
You're late. And who's that?

832
00:40:31,502 --> 00:40:34,604
This? My, uh, my friend.

833
00:40:34,606 --> 00:40:37,472
Marilyn from the salon
in L.A.

834
00:40:37,474 --> 00:40:38,741
Wait, is she coming
on tour with us?

835
00:40:38,743 --> 00:40:40,143
That's a great idea.

836
00:40:40,145 --> 00:40:41,344
Oh, no, she is not.

837
00:40:41,346 --> 00:40:43,414
Please, Gladys. With all the
photo shoots we're doing,

838
00:40:43,416 --> 00:40:44,613
we need a hairdresser.

839
00:40:44,615 --> 00:40:46,349
That would be an N
followed by an O.

840
00:40:46,351 --> 00:40:47,617
How's your spelling, Val?

841
00:40:47,619 --> 00:40:49,886
No, no, no.
She lives in L.A.

842
00:40:49,888 --> 00:40:51,821
She works
at the salon in L.A.

843
00:40:51,823 --> 00:40:53,623
She can't just come
on the road.

844
00:40:53,625 --> 00:40:55,159
- Come on.
- It's not... No.

845
00:40:55,161 --> 00:40:59,863
They're not gonna miss me
for just a few days.

846
00:40:59,865 --> 00:41:02,098
Yeah. I mean,
we could all pay a little bit.

847
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:03,901
Yes, please, Gladys?
Look at them!

848
00:41:03,903 --> 00:41:06,170
They get in my eyes.
I can't see the ball.

849
00:41:06,172 --> 00:41:07,204
Please, Mom?

850
00:41:07,206 --> 00:41:09,572
Please, I've had no time
to get these bangs done.

851
00:41:09,574 --> 00:41:10,776
It's a great idea, Mom.

852
00:41:10,778 --> 00:41:12,642
Imagine having
your own stylist.

853
00:41:12,644 --> 00:41:13,977
Just for a little while.

854
00:41:13,979 --> 00:41:16,047
Can you do anything
with this?

855
00:41:16,049 --> 00:41:17,850
Of course! Yeah.

856
00:41:18,819 --> 00:41:20,617
Ugh. Get in the car.

857
00:41:24,057 --> 00:41:25,926
Is this okay?

858
00:41:26,861 --> 00:41:29,797
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's good.

859
00:41:52,420 --> 00:41:53,353
Hello.

860
00:41:53,355 --> 00:41:56,489
You do know what she is,
don't you? That...

861
00:41:56,491 --> 00:41:58,225
...woman with Billie Jean?

862
00:41:59,727 --> 00:42:01,493
Hairdresser?

863
00:42:01,495 --> 00:42:03,098
I think it's her lover.

864
00:42:04,632 --> 00:42:06,100
That girl?

865
00:42:06,835 --> 00:42:08,438
And Billie Jean?

866
00:42:09,139 --> 00:42:10,338
She's married.

867
00:42:11,305 --> 00:42:13,775
They usually are.

868
00:42:13,777 --> 00:42:16,576
That's what happens on an
all-women circuit, Barry.

869
00:42:16,578 --> 00:42:19,782
Licentiousness. Immorality.

870
00:42:20,249 --> 00:42:21,448
Sin.

871
00:42:21,450 --> 00:42:24,453
Really? Because she shouldn't
be allowed on tour.

872
00:42:24,455 --> 00:42:26,187
On the contrary.

873
00:42:26,189 --> 00:42:28,189
Well, isn't she ashamed
of herself?

874
00:42:28,191 --> 00:42:31,527
She is ashamed.
That's exactly what she is.

875
00:42:31,529 --> 00:42:33,394
And her game's
gonna fall to pieces.

876
00:42:53,351 --> 00:42:56,421
What happened last night
can't happen again.

877
00:42:58,023 --> 00:43:00,823
We have to stop
fooling around.

878
00:43:00,825 --> 00:43:04,493
I wasn't fooling around.
I was dead serious.

879
00:43:04,495 --> 00:43:05,895
Listen.

880
00:43:05,897 --> 00:43:07,698
Larry doesn't even
come on tour with me,

881
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:09,432
because I can't have
the distraction.

882
00:43:09,434 --> 00:43:12,502
I have to focus on my game
a hundred percent.

883
00:43:12,504 --> 00:43:14,638
I promise not to distract you.

884
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,975
But you do distract me.

885
00:43:18,110 --> 00:43:20,311
You distract me
just being here.

886
00:43:21,780 --> 00:43:23,249
Who are you?

887
00:43:24,651 --> 00:43:27,417
What are you doing with me?

888
00:43:27,419 --> 00:43:29,920
I'm Marilyn Kathryn Barnett.

889
00:43:29,922 --> 00:43:32,590
I'm good with my hands.

890
00:43:32,592 --> 00:43:35,192
I don't like being
told what to do.

891
00:43:35,194 --> 00:43:38,662
And I just met
the most interesting person.

892
00:43:38,664 --> 00:43:41,368
I'm not that interesting.
I promise.

893
00:43:42,136 --> 00:43:44,001
All I think about is tennis.

894
00:43:44,003 --> 00:43:46,941
We don't have to do anything
you don't want to do. Okay?

895
00:43:47,807 --> 00:43:49,542
Friends?

896
00:43:49,544 --> 00:43:51,543
- Okay.
- Really good friends?

897
00:43:51,545 --> 00:43:52,813
Okay.

898
00:43:55,217 --> 00:43:58,285
I swear, I don't know what to
do with myself around you.

899
00:43:59,753 --> 00:44:01,422
Just drive.

900
00:45:02,553 --> 00:45:04,621
I know. Shh.

901
00:45:12,296 --> 00:45:13,462
Bobby.

902
00:45:13,464 --> 00:45:15,967
Barry, how you doing? Been a long time.
How are you?

903
00:45:17,636 --> 00:45:19,036
What do you want?

904
00:45:19,038 --> 00:45:20,504
Five minutes is all.

905
00:45:20,506 --> 00:45:21,837
And if you don't like
what I have to say,

906
00:45:21,839 --> 00:45:22,973
you'll never hear
from me again.

907
00:45:22,975 --> 00:45:24,841
- Is that a promise?
- Let him in.

908
00:45:24,843 --> 00:45:26,578
Hey, Margaret,
how are you?

909
00:45:26,580 --> 00:45:27,543
This better be good.

910
00:45:27,545 --> 00:45:28,978
No one's getting
a lot of sleep around here.

911
00:45:28,980 --> 00:45:30,847
Oh, it's good! It's good.

912
00:45:30,849 --> 00:45:32,716
- Who's this?
- That's Daniel.

913
00:45:32,718 --> 00:45:34,450
Daniel! Do you mind?

914
00:45:34,452 --> 00:45:35,852
- May I?
- Yeah.

915
00:45:35,854 --> 00:45:39,723
Oh, Daniel, come here, you.
Oh, you're so big!

916
00:45:39,725 --> 00:45:42,126
Oh, Daniel, hello!

917
00:45:42,128 --> 00:45:45,329
Bobby's gotcha.
Bobby's gotcha.

918
00:45:45,331 --> 00:45:48,598
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, look at you.

919
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,268
Oh, Margaret, he is lovely.

920
00:45:51,270 --> 00:45:53,940
Hi! Do any of the other girls
have kids?

921
00:45:54,474 --> 00:45:55,608
Nope, just me.

922
00:45:55,610 --> 00:45:56,574
Just you. Wow!

923
00:45:56,576 --> 00:46:00,479
That has got to be tough.
Tough on your mom.

924
00:46:00,481 --> 00:46:02,281
Playing all day
and then taking care

925
00:46:02,283 --> 00:46:04,114
of you at night. Oh, boy!

926
00:46:04,116 --> 00:46:05,918
That's got to be...
And all the traveling?

927
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,286
You know what?
You need a nanny.

928
00:46:07,288 --> 00:46:09,289
- A nanny.
- You know how much they cost?

929
00:46:09,291 --> 00:46:11,156
That's exactly why I'm here.

930
00:46:11,158 --> 00:46:13,960
Because I think $35,000 would
buy you a lot of nanny.

931
00:46:13,962 --> 00:46:15,695
What is your game,
Bobby Riggs?

932
00:46:15,697 --> 00:46:16,829
A match. You versus me.

933
00:46:16,831 --> 00:46:19,201
Two out of three sets.
$35,000.

934
00:46:21,769 --> 00:46:23,303
Well... why me?

935
00:46:23,305 --> 00:46:25,172
Why you?
Because you're the best.

936
00:46:25,174 --> 00:46:26,938
Billie Jean has been
on me to play her,

937
00:46:26,940 --> 00:46:28,340
but you know what she's like.

938
00:46:28,342 --> 00:46:29,410
Yeah.

939
00:46:29,412 --> 00:46:32,111
And besides, I always say
if you're gonna play...

940
00:46:32,113 --> 00:46:34,247
...play the number one.

941
00:46:34,249 --> 00:46:36,116
Billie Jean's number one.

942
00:46:36,118 --> 00:46:38,585
Not if you beat her tomorrow.

943
00:46:38,587 --> 00:46:41,524
Isn't that right?
Is your mom gonna beat her?

944
00:46:43,191 --> 00:46:46,861
40 down.
"Lumberjack's tool."

945
00:46:46,863 --> 00:46:48,794
Four letters.

946
00:46:48,796 --> 00:46:49,930
Anything?

947
00:46:49,932 --> 00:46:51,199
- Oh, my.
- What?

948
00:46:51,201 --> 00:46:52,668
- It's Larry.
- Hmm?

949
00:46:53,070 --> 00:46:54,537
Larry King.

950
00:46:55,804 --> 00:46:57,006
Oh.

951
00:46:58,207 --> 00:46:59,174
Oh.

952
00:46:59,176 --> 00:47:01,379
I think I'd better make
a phone call.

953
00:47:14,225 --> 00:47:15,290
Hello?

954
00:47:15,292 --> 00:47:18,227
Ted here, darling.
A petite heads up.

955
00:47:18,229 --> 00:47:20,562
Larry is in the building.

956
00:47:20,564 --> 00:47:21,963
- Shit.
- Be careful.

957
00:47:21,965 --> 00:47:23,434
Okay. Thanks.

958
00:47:24,636 --> 00:47:26,437
- Hey.
- Oh.

959
00:47:27,105 --> 00:47:28,706
- Going up?
- Thanks.

960
00:47:28,708 --> 00:47:31,039
Yeah. 31.

961
00:47:31,041 --> 00:47:32,242
Me, too.

962
00:47:45,591 --> 00:47:47,059
Starting early.

963
00:47:48,593 --> 00:47:50,161
Oh, well, you know
what they say...

964
00:47:50,163 --> 00:47:51,996
it's never too early
for champagne.

965
00:47:51,998 --> 00:47:54,598
My kinda girl.

966
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:55,866
You here for the tennis?

967
00:47:55,868 --> 00:47:57,468
I sure am.

968
00:47:57,470 --> 00:47:58,602
Me, too.

969
00:47:58,604 --> 00:48:01,274
I think Billie Jean's
gonna take it.

970
00:48:02,208 --> 00:48:04,210
Oh, are you a fan?

971
00:48:05,678 --> 00:48:07,414
You could say that.

972
00:48:10,618 --> 00:48:11,752
After you.

973
00:48:22,897 --> 00:48:24,096
Well, see you around.

974
00:48:24,098 --> 00:48:25,364
Maybe.

975
00:48:33,908 --> 00:48:35,308
Hi! Oh.

976
00:48:35,310 --> 00:48:36,174
Hi.

977
00:48:36,176 --> 00:48:38,378
- Hi!
- Hi, honey.

978
00:48:40,882 --> 00:48:42,349
Oh, this is Marilyn.

979
00:48:43,419 --> 00:48:44,718
Oh.

980
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:46,321
- Larry.
- Oh, hi, hi.

981
00:48:47,189 --> 00:48:48,389
Marilyn is the, the...

982
00:48:48,391 --> 00:48:49,822
The hairdresser around here.

983
00:48:49,824 --> 00:48:52,659
And... Larry is... the...

984
00:48:52,661 --> 00:48:53,894
The husband around here.

985
00:48:53,896 --> 00:48:55,262
The husband around here.

986
00:48:55,264 --> 00:48:57,798
Peaches wants me
to give her a blow dry.

987
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:58,801
Great.

988
00:49:00,136 --> 00:49:01,268
- Marilyn!
- Uh-huh?

989
00:49:01,270 --> 00:49:03,672
Was the ice
for Billie Jean's knees?

990
00:49:06,142 --> 00:49:07,474
Yeah.

991
00:49:07,476 --> 00:49:09,546
- Yeah, I'll get that. Thanks.
- Bye.

992
00:49:10,614 --> 00:49:11,615
Bye.

993
00:49:19,023 --> 00:49:21,225
Here. Let me.

994
00:49:22,026 --> 00:49:23,225
Okay.

995
00:50:05,204 --> 00:50:07,807
The roads were clear,
so I made good time.

996
00:50:12,345 --> 00:50:14,045
I should've called ahead,

997
00:50:14,047 --> 00:50:16,349
letting you know
that I was coming.

998
00:50:27,826 --> 00:50:29,295
Leg up.

999
00:50:40,508 --> 00:50:41,575
Switch.

1000
00:50:42,443 --> 00:50:43,644
Here.

1001
00:50:51,686 --> 00:50:52,686
Uh...

1002
00:51:01,262 --> 00:51:03,264
I'm gonna get another room.

1003
00:51:08,535 --> 00:51:09,636
I've got phone calls to make,

1004
00:51:09,638 --> 00:51:12,008
and you need to rest
for the finals.

1005
00:52:12,471 --> 00:52:16,075
Point to Mrs. Court. Love-15.

1006
00:52:32,091 --> 00:52:33,891
Love-30.

1007
00:52:33,893 --> 00:52:35,761
Jesus Christ, Billie.

1008
00:52:37,429 --> 00:52:39,765
Come on, dumby. Come on.

1009
00:52:52,813 --> 00:52:55,915
Love-40. Match point.

1010
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,871
Game, set and match
to Mrs. Court.

1011
00:53:39,096 --> 00:53:40,563
That was bad.

1012
00:53:42,497 --> 00:53:44,566
You don't seem yourself.

1013
00:53:50,907 --> 00:53:53,109
I was thinking of
heading home.

1014
00:53:56,379 --> 00:53:57,648
Really?

1015
00:53:59,650 --> 00:54:02,519
There's lots to do
from there and...

1016
00:54:02,521 --> 00:54:04,051
...I was thinking...

1017
00:54:04,053 --> 00:54:08,058
...I could give you some space
and let you clear your head.

1018
00:54:09,027 --> 00:54:10,028
Mmm-hmm.

1019
00:54:16,534 --> 00:54:18,803
- Talk to you soon.
- Yeah.

1020
00:54:25,409 --> 00:54:27,010
Man.

1021
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:29,814
Damn.

1022
00:54:31,417 --> 00:54:32,618
Hi.

1023
00:54:33,151 --> 00:54:34,153
Hi.

1024
00:54:35,355 --> 00:54:37,355
Have you got a cigarette?

1025
00:54:37,357 --> 00:54:38,556
Nope.

1026
00:54:40,626 --> 00:54:42,493
Billie Jean know you smoke?

1027
00:54:42,495 --> 00:54:45,496
Uh... I guess not.

1028
00:54:45,498 --> 00:54:47,764
She's not a fan.

1029
00:54:47,766 --> 00:54:50,067
Well, I won't tell
if you won't.

1030
00:54:51,070 --> 00:54:54,707
Secrets, huh? There's a lot
of those going around.

1031
00:54:56,643 --> 00:54:59,112
Marilyn, you know
how all this gets paid for?

1032
00:54:59,913 --> 00:55:00,878
Yeah, the...

1033
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:05,182
...the prize money,
rackets, hotels, flights...

1034
00:55:05,184 --> 00:55:07,053
...the food, everything?

1035
00:55:07,589 --> 00:55:08,987
Sponsorship.

1036
00:55:08,989 --> 00:55:10,888
And with sponsorship, that
would go away in a heartbeat

1037
00:55:10,890 --> 00:55:13,793
if certain things
were to be made public.

1038
00:55:15,195 --> 00:55:18,599
I only have Billie Jean's
best interests at heart.

1039
00:55:19,334 --> 00:55:21,267
Look.

1040
00:55:21,269 --> 00:55:22,570
You seem like
a sweet girl and...

1041
00:55:22,572 --> 00:55:24,139
Don't condescend to me.

1042
00:55:25,072 --> 00:55:26,472
Please.

1043
00:55:26,474 --> 00:55:29,810
You know,
I'm not the competition.

1044
00:55:29,812 --> 00:55:32,544
I'm just her husband,
and you're...

1045
00:55:33,748 --> 00:55:35,817
...you're just a phase.

1046
00:55:36,752 --> 00:55:39,086
We're both just sideshows.

1047
00:55:39,088 --> 00:55:41,021
Tennis is her true love.

1048
00:55:41,023 --> 00:55:44,726
And if you get between her
and the game, you'll be gone.

1049
00:56:07,718 --> 00:56:10,052
Met Bobby Riggs last night.

1050
00:56:10,054 --> 00:56:11,121
Funny man.

1051
00:56:11,956 --> 00:56:13,289
Tell me you didn't.

1052
00:56:13,291 --> 00:56:14,858
Didn't what?

1053
00:56:16,394 --> 00:56:19,127
He just wants to play
an exhibition match is all.

1054
00:56:19,129 --> 00:56:21,597
Now that I'm officially
number one.

1055
00:56:21,599 --> 00:56:25,467
It's not a tennis match,
Margaret. You do know that.

1056
00:56:25,469 --> 00:56:26,935
What do you mean?

1057
00:56:26,937 --> 00:56:29,738
He tried that exhibition
match line on me.

1058
00:56:29,740 --> 00:56:32,808
Oh. And I suppose
you turned him down?

1059
00:56:32,810 --> 00:56:34,043
Are you kidding me?

1060
00:56:34,045 --> 00:56:36,277
You think I want to join
the Bobby Riggs circus?

1061
00:56:36,279 --> 00:56:39,883
He wants to make himself look
great and women look stupid.

1062
00:56:39,885 --> 00:56:42,886
It's not a match.
It's a show.

1063
00:56:42,888 --> 00:56:46,556
I can understand why you might
not want to play him, but...

1064
00:56:46,558 --> 00:56:48,160
...I've got nothing to hide.

1065
00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:03,575
Mind those seams
when taking that off.

1066
00:57:03,577 --> 00:57:05,243
She's gonna play Bobby Riggs.

1067
00:57:05,245 --> 00:57:09,581
The Arm versus The Mouth.
I know where my money's going.

1068
00:57:09,583 --> 00:57:13,317
What if she loses, Ted?
What if she blows it?

1069
00:57:13,319 --> 00:57:15,020
He's never gonna let it go.

1070
00:57:15,022 --> 00:57:17,622
He's gonna make women's tennis
look like a laughingstock.

1071
00:57:17,624 --> 00:57:20,492
Calm yourself,
Madame Superstar.

1072
00:57:20,494 --> 00:57:22,027
Margaret is playing
better than ever,

1073
00:57:22,029 --> 00:57:23,964
and I don't need
to remind you.

1074
00:57:24,865 --> 00:57:27,533
And strictly entre nous...

1075
00:57:27,535 --> 00:57:30,302
...we've had to make some
adjustments in the bicep area.

1076
00:57:30,304 --> 00:57:31,770
Haven't we, Henry?

1077
00:57:31,772 --> 00:57:33,739
About an inch and a half.

1078
00:57:35,276 --> 00:57:36,709
I'm just glad
you're not playing him.

1079
00:57:36,711 --> 00:57:38,746
Not a chance.

1080
00:57:41,515 --> 00:57:43,415
Best be careful.

1081
00:57:43,417 --> 00:57:44,685
What do you mean?

1082
00:57:46,021 --> 00:57:49,290
The world isn't always
a forgiving place, my dear.

1083
00:57:54,964 --> 00:57:57,300
How are you so free
with yourself?

1084
00:57:58,668 --> 00:58:00,867
Seems like you just do
whatever you want.

1085
00:58:00,869 --> 00:58:03,770
I don't do whatever I want.

1086
00:58:03,772 --> 00:58:06,573
I pay taxes,
visit the dentist.

1087
00:58:06,575 --> 00:58:08,243
You know what I mean.

1088
00:58:09,779 --> 00:58:12,045
I'm one of eight kids.

1089
00:58:12,047 --> 00:58:13,714
So...

1090
00:58:13,716 --> 00:58:16,118
...no one noticed what I did.

1091
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:17,450
Which is probably
for the best,

1092
00:58:17,452 --> 00:58:20,688
because I would've shocked
the hell out of all of 'em.

1093
00:58:24,528 --> 00:58:25,929
I don't know.

1094
00:58:27,097 --> 00:58:30,101
I live... a private life...

1095
00:58:31,069 --> 00:58:32,266
...and...

1096
00:58:32,268 --> 00:58:35,739
...I guess I never think that
people will care what I do.

1097
00:58:42,279 --> 00:58:45,349
God, I think everyone
cares what I do.

1098
00:58:47,751 --> 00:58:49,955
I'm gonna let them all down.

1099
00:58:51,758 --> 00:58:55,093
When I was a kid,
I played at this tennis club.

1100
00:58:57,228 --> 00:58:58,429
I was...

1101
00:58:59,098 --> 00:59:00,364
...twelve.

1102
00:59:02,300 --> 00:59:05,769
It was team photo time,
which is a very big deal.

1103
00:59:07,773 --> 00:59:10,007
And my mom made me these...

1104
00:59:10,009 --> 00:59:11,207
...white tennis shorts,

1105
00:59:11,209 --> 00:59:13,478
because we couldn't afford
a tennis dress.

1106
00:59:14,448 --> 00:59:15,915
And...

1107
00:59:16,716 --> 00:59:18,116
...the man that ran it,

1108
00:59:18,118 --> 00:59:19,884
we were all lined up
to take the photo

1109
00:59:19,886 --> 00:59:21,854
and he pointed at me
and he said...

1110
00:59:21,856 --> 00:59:24,421
..."That little girl
cannot be in the photo...

1111
00:59:24,423 --> 00:59:26,958
..."because she's not
wearing a tennis dress."

1112
00:59:27,861 --> 00:59:29,295
That must've crushed you.

1113
00:59:29,297 --> 00:59:30,364
No.

1114
00:59:31,863 --> 00:59:33,332
I just thought...

1115
00:59:33,867 --> 00:59:35,469
...that does it.

1116
00:59:37,603 --> 00:59:40,272
I'm gonna be the best.

1117
00:59:40,274 --> 00:59:44,078
That way I can really...
change things.

1118
00:59:45,813 --> 00:59:47,948
That way I have a voice.

1119
00:59:50,618 --> 00:59:52,352
You have a voice.

1120
01:00:10,673 --> 01:00:12,372
- Dad?
- Larry!

1121
01:00:12,374 --> 01:00:15,241
Sorry I can't stay long.
I'm training.

1122
01:00:15,243 --> 01:00:16,676
What the hell are you wearing?

1123
01:00:16,678 --> 01:00:18,377
Ah. It's a sauna suit.

1124
01:00:18,379 --> 01:00:20,281
It's killing me,
but every time I breathe,

1125
01:00:20,283 --> 01:00:21,349
I lose a pound.

1126
01:00:21,351 --> 01:00:23,550
You hear the news?
Bobby's back!

1127
01:00:23,552 --> 01:00:24,718
Yeah, yeah, I heard.

1128
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,087
You heard, huh?
Isn't it great?

1129
01:00:26,089 --> 01:00:27,388
Is it really happening?

1130
01:00:27,390 --> 01:00:30,026
Oh, it's happening.
It is happening! Say...

1131
01:00:30,859 --> 01:00:32,860
- You want to help?
- What with?

1132
01:00:32,862 --> 01:00:35,762
What with?
With training, with support.

1133
01:00:35,764 --> 01:00:37,866
Hit some balls
for your old man.

1134
01:00:37,868 --> 01:00:39,734
Lornie's coming in.

1135
01:00:39,736 --> 01:00:41,269
I don't know. Why me?

1136
01:00:41,271 --> 01:00:44,773
Why you?
You're my son, that's why.

1137
01:00:44,775 --> 01:00:47,009
Do this thing together.
Come on!

1138
01:00:47,011 --> 01:00:49,278
The Riggs boys
against the world!

1139
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,412
- You think you can beat her?
- Oh.

1140
01:00:51,414 --> 01:00:54,116
This Margaret thing
is just the beginning.

1141
01:00:54,118 --> 01:00:55,952
It's gonna be huge.

1142
01:01:03,161 --> 01:01:04,861
Three-time Wimbledon Champion,

1143
01:01:04,863 --> 01:01:07,129
four times Women's
Single Champion

1144
01:01:07,131 --> 01:01:08,999
in the United States...

1145
01:01:09,001 --> 01:01:10,800
...winner of the Grand Slam
of tennis,

1146
01:01:10,802 --> 01:01:12,168
and current leading
money winner

1147
01:01:12,170 --> 01:01:13,904
of the Women's Pro Tour.

1148
01:01:13,906 --> 01:01:16,341
From Australia,
meet Margaret Court.

1149
01:01:17,343 --> 01:01:18,475
Her opponent...

1150
01:01:18,477 --> 01:01:20,610
...twice the United States
Singles Champion,

1151
01:01:20,612 --> 01:01:22,411
also a winner at Wimbledon.

1152
01:01:22,413 --> 01:01:24,881
A man who in 1967
was enshrined

1153
01:01:24,883 --> 01:01:26,883
into the Tennis Hall of Fame.

1154
01:01:26,885 --> 01:01:30,021
Colorful and controversial
Bobby Riggs.

1155
01:01:30,023 --> 01:01:33,157
Who's your money on, Jack?
Mankind or womankind?

1156
01:01:33,159 --> 01:01:35,026
Bobby Riggs,
without a doubt.

1157
01:01:35,028 --> 01:01:37,194
Margaret Court
is a great tennis player,

1158
01:01:37,196 --> 01:01:39,330
there's no mistake
about that, but the...

1159
01:01:39,332 --> 01:01:42,166
...thing about women
is that they find it hard

1160
01:01:42,168 --> 01:01:44,201
to consistently
handle the pressure.

1161
01:01:44,203 --> 01:01:46,673
Some would say
they're not built for it.

1162
01:01:56,650 --> 01:01:57,816
Excuse me!

1163
01:01:57,818 --> 01:01:59,218
It's started already!

1164
01:01:59,220 --> 01:02:00,720
Virginia Slims coming through!

1165
01:02:00,722 --> 01:02:02,219
Where are the TVs?

1166
01:02:02,221 --> 01:02:05,089
Quickly! Come on, Henry.

1167
01:02:05,091 --> 01:02:06,826
We don't want to miss this.

1168
01:02:06,828 --> 01:02:08,327
Everybody, shut up!

1169
01:02:08,329 --> 01:02:10,264
That's the last
of our laundry quarters.

1170
01:02:11,731 --> 01:02:13,734
It's on what channel?

1171
01:02:13,736 --> 01:02:14,933
Can we have
some quiet here?

1172
01:02:14,935 --> 01:02:16,435
- Please?
- Where, on four?

1173
01:02:16,437 --> 01:02:17,670
Yeah, it's four.

1174
01:02:17,672 --> 01:02:18,704
Oh! There we are.

1175
01:02:18,706 --> 01:02:20,340
Oh, my God.
This is big.

1176
01:02:20,342 --> 01:02:22,242
Of course
it's big. It's Bobby.

1177
01:02:22,244 --> 01:02:23,678
The one thing that man
can do is hustle.

1178
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:24,977
I'll say.

1179
01:02:24,979 --> 01:02:26,712
Bobby Riggs
is two games away

1180
01:02:26,714 --> 01:02:28,349
from winning this first set.

1181
01:02:28,351 --> 01:02:29,817
Rather easily,
I might add.

1182
01:02:29,819 --> 01:02:31,184
Oh, my God.

1183
01:02:31,186 --> 01:02:33,085
Margaret may not
realize what she's up against.

1184
01:02:33,087 --> 01:02:35,823
I think we should have been
there to support her.

1185
01:02:35,825 --> 01:02:37,091
You have
a tournament to play.

1186
01:02:37,093 --> 01:02:39,162
I own you, Peaches,
don't forget that.

1187
01:02:40,996 --> 01:02:43,466
What a dreadful choice
of blue!

1188
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,267
Oh, God.

1189
01:02:45,269 --> 01:02:47,001
If she doesn't
start attacking the ball,

1190
01:02:47,003 --> 01:02:48,568
she's gonna
fall into his trap.

1191
01:02:48,570 --> 01:02:49,971
She looks spooked.

1192
01:02:49,973 --> 01:02:52,141
Do we like the dress?

1193
01:02:52,143 --> 01:02:54,274
It's one of Ted's.
Are we allowed not to?

1194
01:02:54,276 --> 01:02:55,776
Right behind you, darling.

1195
01:02:55,778 --> 01:02:57,313
We love the dress!

1196
01:02:57,315 --> 01:02:58,380
Thank you.

1197
01:02:58,382 --> 01:02:59,447
I'm just hoping that Margaret

1198
01:02:59,449 --> 01:03:00,982
will really start
hitting the ball

1199
01:03:00,984 --> 01:03:03,018
and follow her serve
to the net.

1200
01:03:03,020 --> 01:03:05,286
I don't see how
she can win staying back.

1201
01:03:05,288 --> 01:03:07,556
It looks like
Bobby's just toying with her.

1202
01:03:07,558 --> 01:03:09,157
That's gonna have
a demoralizing

1203
01:03:09,159 --> 01:03:10,391
effect on Margaret

1204
01:03:10,393 --> 01:03:11,895
if she thinks
he's just horsing around.

1205
01:03:11,897 --> 01:03:13,428
- Oh, dear.
- Let's face it.

1206
01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:15,598
She just can't handle
Bobby's game.

1207
01:03:18,170 --> 01:03:19,637
Come on!

1208
01:03:22,774 --> 01:03:24,506
Nice one.

1209
01:03:24,508 --> 01:03:25,610
Bravo!

1210
01:03:27,746 --> 01:03:29,013
The Arm'll be fine.

1211
01:03:29,015 --> 01:03:30,413
She could squeeze
the life out of that

1212
01:03:30,415 --> 01:03:32,751
little twerp with one
tweak of her bicep.

1213
01:03:36,021 --> 01:03:37,153
40-love.

1214
01:03:37,155 --> 01:03:38,355
No, Margaret.

1215
01:03:38,357 --> 01:03:39,790
Wake up, Margaret!

1216
01:03:39,792 --> 01:03:41,359
I'm not liking this.

1217
01:03:41,361 --> 01:03:43,160
Gladys, I think I'm gonna
need a cigarette.

1218
01:03:43,162 --> 01:03:45,365
Finally,
one of my girls smokes!

1219
01:03:46,331 --> 01:03:48,032
Game to Mr. Riggs.

1220
01:03:48,034 --> 01:03:49,466
Mr. Riggs leads
one set to nothing.

1221
01:03:49,468 --> 01:03:50,801
There's not a single thing

1222
01:03:50,803 --> 01:03:52,169
I don't hate about
Bobby Riggs,

1223
01:03:52,171 --> 01:03:54,206
not a single thing.

1224
01:03:54,208 --> 01:03:56,606
Bobby Riggs
here in the second set.

1225
01:03:56,608 --> 01:03:58,041
Riggs does it again.

1226
01:03:58,043 --> 01:03:59,810
Bobby's unstoppable today.

1227
01:03:59,812 --> 01:04:01,346
Bobby Riggs.

1228
01:04:01,348 --> 01:04:03,348
Again, Bobby Riggs.

1229
01:04:03,350 --> 01:04:05,050
Margaret seems to
be off her game.

1230
01:04:05,052 --> 01:04:06,817
I'll say!

1231
01:04:06,819 --> 01:04:08,052
40-love. Beautiful.

1232
01:04:08,054 --> 01:04:09,219
This is awful.

1233
01:04:09,221 --> 01:04:10,656
Game to Mr. Riggs.

1234
01:04:10,658 --> 01:04:12,057
Really terrible.

1235
01:04:12,059 --> 01:04:13,457
Again, Bobby Riggs.

1236
01:04:13,459 --> 01:04:15,061
Let's get
another cocktail, Henry.

1237
01:04:15,063 --> 01:04:17,063
Well, as I said...

1238
01:04:17,065 --> 01:04:18,598
...it's not that women
can't play tennis,

1239
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:22,202
it's just that they can't
deal with the pressure.

1240
01:04:22,204 --> 01:04:25,004
Perhaps this will finally put
a stop to women players

1241
01:04:25,006 --> 01:04:27,739
demanding the same prize
money as men.

1242
01:04:27,741 --> 01:04:30,009
As we've seen today,
they're simply...

1243
01:04:30,011 --> 01:04:31,945
not in the same league.

1244
01:04:31,947 --> 01:04:33,546
Let's face it, in business,

1245
01:04:33,548 --> 01:04:35,481
politics, sports,
you name it...

1246
01:04:35,483 --> 01:04:37,083
...whatever they like
to think,

1247
01:04:37,085 --> 01:04:38,951
at the very top
it's a man's game.

1248
01:04:38,953 --> 01:04:40,555
I can't believe this.

1249
01:04:42,123 --> 01:04:43,858
I know what'll cheer her up.

1250
01:04:45,126 --> 01:04:46,993
- I'll be right back.
- Okay, darling.

1251
01:04:46,995 --> 01:04:48,865
We're at match point here.

1252
01:05:02,412 --> 01:05:06,880
There it is.
Bobby Riggs wins 6-2, 6-1.

1253
01:05:06,882 --> 01:05:08,149
Unbelievable.

1254
01:05:08,151 --> 01:05:10,051
A rather easy triumph against

1255
01:05:10,053 --> 01:05:12,322
motherhood
and women's liberation.

1256
01:05:14,993 --> 01:05:16,525
That was a massacre.

1257
01:05:16,527 --> 01:05:17,592
Congratulations, Bobby.

1258
01:05:17,594 --> 01:05:18,994
Well, thank you very much.

1259
01:05:18,996 --> 01:05:20,262
This is my son, Larry.

1260
01:05:20,264 --> 01:05:22,296
Lousy tennis player,
great guy.

1261
01:05:22,298 --> 01:05:24,201
So, now officially Bobby Riggs

1262
01:05:24,203 --> 01:05:26,268
is the number one
ladies player in the world...

1263
01:05:26,270 --> 01:05:27,402
...and any ladies out there

1264
01:05:27,404 --> 01:05:28,469
want to challenge
for the crown,

1265
01:05:28,471 --> 01:05:30,173
you know where to find me.

1266
01:05:30,175 --> 01:05:31,874
And since I have just
proven here today,

1267
01:05:31,876 --> 01:05:33,307
beyond a shadow of a doubt...

1268
01:05:33,309 --> 01:05:34,944
...that men are
the superior animal,

1269
01:05:34,946 --> 01:05:36,446
tell you want I'm gonna do:

1270
01:05:36,448 --> 01:05:37,980
I am gonna triple the bet!

1271
01:05:37,982 --> 01:05:40,983
$100,000 to any woman
who can beat Bobby Riggs.

1272
01:05:40,985 --> 01:05:43,286
The question I ask myself is,
is she out there,

1273
01:05:43,288 --> 01:05:46,258
and does she have the nerve?

1274
01:05:53,031 --> 01:05:54,764
What got into her?

1275
01:05:54,766 --> 01:05:56,300
Fate, sweetie.

1276
01:05:56,302 --> 01:05:58,903
Coming at her
like a runaway train.

1277
01:06:02,942 --> 01:06:04,944
Oh... darling.

1278
01:06:08,749 --> 01:06:10,314
And in today's much publicized

1279
01:06:10,316 --> 01:06:12,048
tennis face-off between...

1280
01:06:12,050 --> 01:06:13,317
...Senior Pro Bobby Riggs

1281
01:06:13,319 --> 01:06:15,353
and Woman's No. 1
Margaret Court...

1282
01:06:15,355 --> 01:06:17,254
...the self-styled
"male chauvinist pig"

1283
01:06:17,256 --> 01:06:20,224
beat Mrs. Court
in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1...

1284
01:06:20,226 --> 01:06:22,126
...in what the press
has dubbed

1285
01:06:22,128 --> 01:06:23,763
"The Mother's Day Massac..."

1286
01:06:23,765 --> 01:06:27,301
Oh, for goodness sakes.
It was just a tennis match.

1287
01:06:28,536 --> 01:06:31,469
The Women's No. 1
can't beat a 55-year-old.

1288
01:06:31,471 --> 01:06:33,605
Are you kidding me?

1289
01:06:33,607 --> 01:06:35,075
He's backed me
into a corner now.

1290
01:06:35,077 --> 01:06:36,375
Then don't play him.

1291
01:06:36,377 --> 01:06:38,477
Who else is gonna
beat him, Marilyn?

1292
01:06:38,479 --> 01:06:40,212
I don't have a choice.

1293
01:06:40,214 --> 01:06:42,681
No, you always have a choice.

1294
01:06:42,683 --> 01:06:44,285
You don't get it.

1295
01:06:45,854 --> 01:06:47,455
You don't get it.

1296
01:06:51,493 --> 01:06:53,695
I don't know how to help you.

1297
01:06:57,532 --> 01:06:59,467
Do you even want me here?

1298
01:07:03,538 --> 01:07:06,742
I don't know. I'm sorry.
I need to think.

1299
01:08:21,321 --> 01:08:22,587
Hello?

1300
01:08:22,589 --> 01:08:24,488
Larry.

1301
01:08:24,490 --> 01:08:27,560
Oh. I was wondering
when you were gonna call.

1302
01:08:30,831 --> 01:08:32,565
It was a travesty.

1303
01:08:33,566 --> 01:08:34,568
So?

1304
01:08:35,502 --> 01:08:37,103
Call the bozo.

1305
01:08:37,937 --> 01:08:39,538
Tell him it's on.

1306
01:08:40,674 --> 01:08:42,106
But nothing gets agreed on

1307
01:08:42,108 --> 01:08:43,775
without my approval,
all right?

1308
01:08:43,777 --> 01:08:48,347
Venue, date,
TV rights, everything.

1309
01:08:48,349 --> 01:08:50,649
What balls we use.

1310
01:08:50,651 --> 01:08:53,786
I know Bobby. He'll be making
deals on his deals by now.

1311
01:08:53,788 --> 01:08:55,789
I'll call him first thing
in the morning.

1312
01:08:55,791 --> 01:08:59,125
No, now.
He calls me at midnight.

1313
01:08:59,127 --> 01:09:00,962
If we're gonna go, let's go.

1314
01:09:03,697 --> 01:09:04,831
Okay.

1315
01:09:10,273 --> 01:09:12,238
You know something?

1316
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:13,841
This can be great.

1317
01:09:14,976 --> 01:09:16,642
Really, really great.

1318
01:09:16,644 --> 01:09:19,448
And not just
for women's tennis, you know?

1319
01:09:21,249 --> 01:09:22,984
As long as I win.

1320
01:09:25,521 --> 01:09:28,523
If there's one thing
that I know about you...

1321
01:09:28,525 --> 01:09:32,461
...it's that this is one match
you are gonna win.

1322
01:09:35,666 --> 01:09:37,634
You're a good man, Larry.

1323
01:09:38,402 --> 01:09:40,037
You're a good woman.

1324
01:09:42,139 --> 01:09:43,873
I wish that were true.

1325
01:09:45,543 --> 01:09:49,146
Let's focus on the match.
Everything else can wait.

1326
01:09:53,151 --> 01:09:54,151
Good night.

1327
01:10:11,302 --> 01:10:12,537
Marilyn?

1328
01:10:31,090 --> 01:10:33,122
Honey! I am back on top,

1329
01:10:33,124 --> 01:10:35,859
I've never felt better,
I beat Margaret Court...

1330
01:10:35,861 --> 01:10:38,193
...and now I am playing
Billie Jean King

1331
01:10:38,195 --> 01:10:40,832
for $100,000.
What about that?

1332
01:10:40,834 --> 01:10:41,899
And...

1333
01:10:41,901 --> 01:10:44,770
...it's going to be
on ABC, primetime.

1334
01:10:44,772 --> 01:10:46,771
Well, you have some
nerve using all that

1335
01:10:46,773 --> 01:10:49,375
"male chauvinist pig"
nonsense.

1336
01:10:49,377 --> 01:10:50,610
Who do you think's
been bankrolling

1337
01:10:50,612 --> 01:10:53,510
you all these years?
Me. A woman.

1338
01:10:53,512 --> 01:10:55,347
You know something?
You are absolutely right,

1339
01:10:55,349 --> 01:10:57,215
and I am gonna pay you back.

1340
01:10:57,217 --> 01:10:59,084
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

1341
01:10:59,086 --> 01:11:00,687
I don't want it back.

1342
01:11:02,956 --> 01:11:04,390
You want me back?

1343
01:11:11,733 --> 01:11:13,165
So...

1344
01:11:13,167 --> 01:11:15,934
...I'm gonna be on the cover
of Time magazine.

1345
01:11:15,936 --> 01:11:17,036
I won the triple at Wimbledon

1346
01:11:17,038 --> 01:11:18,872
and never got
the cover of Time.

1347
01:11:20,074 --> 01:11:22,774
So after Billie Jean,
there's an offer on the table

1348
01:11:22,776 --> 01:11:25,144
for a million dollars
to play Chrissie Evert.

1349
01:11:25,146 --> 01:11:26,749
A million dollars, huh!

1350
01:11:27,384 --> 01:11:28,851
Imagine that?

1351
01:11:29,684 --> 01:11:31,285
Million dollars.

1352
01:11:32,921 --> 01:11:33,923
Phew.

1353
01:11:38,394 --> 01:11:39,994
I'll tell you something.

1354
01:11:45,101 --> 01:11:49,305
It's a pretty scary trip
I'm taking right here...

1355
01:11:49,307 --> 01:11:50,773
...and, uh...

1356
01:11:51,807 --> 01:11:53,876
...well, I was, um...

1357
01:11:56,278 --> 01:11:57,880
Well, I need you, honey.

1358
01:12:02,719 --> 01:12:05,121
I feel like we've been
through this before.

1359
01:12:05,123 --> 01:12:08,326
No, I'm a changed man.
Ask the shrink.

1360
01:12:09,326 --> 01:12:10,460
I did.

1361
01:12:10,462 --> 01:12:11,728
What did he say?

1362
01:12:11,730 --> 01:12:14,800
Nothing.
He just gave me 30 bucks.

1363
01:12:16,168 --> 01:12:16,998
The money that he owed you

1364
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,068
from your last game
of blackjack.

1365
01:12:21,139 --> 01:12:23,472
He was a terrible player.

1366
01:12:23,474 --> 01:12:25,176
Christ.

1367
01:12:28,445 --> 01:12:30,314
Bobby, I love you.

1368
01:12:31,717 --> 01:12:34,018
Well, I love you, too.

1369
01:12:34,020 --> 01:12:37,153
I love how
you make me laugh.

1370
01:12:37,155 --> 01:12:40,390
I love your crazy ideas
and all your schemes.

1371
01:12:40,392 --> 01:12:44,097
And the way you walk into
a room and you fill it up.

1372
01:12:45,365 --> 01:12:47,065
I love the way
you make me feel.

1373
01:12:47,067 --> 01:12:49,101
I miss that a lot.

1374
01:12:50,501 --> 01:12:52,204
But...

1375
01:12:52,206 --> 01:12:54,639
...I need a husband.

1376
01:12:54,641 --> 01:12:57,509
I need someone
who is steady.

1377
01:12:57,511 --> 01:13:00,144
Someone that I can rely on.

1378
01:13:00,146 --> 01:13:01,948
And that is not you.

1379
01:13:02,616 --> 01:13:04,250
And that's okay.

1380
01:13:05,384 --> 01:13:06,784
It is more than okay.

1381
01:13:06,786 --> 01:13:09,221
It is wonderful,
because that...

1382
01:13:09,223 --> 01:13:10,957
...is who you are.

1383
01:13:12,625 --> 01:13:15,229
I just can't be
with that person anymore.

1384
01:13:16,131 --> 01:13:17,698
I just can't.

1385
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,267
I'm so sorry.

1386
01:13:21,836 --> 01:13:22,836
No.

1387
01:13:24,673 --> 01:13:26,273
I'm sorry.

1388
01:13:29,678 --> 01:13:31,012
Okay.

1389
01:13:32,380 --> 01:13:33,544
All right.

1390
01:13:33,546 --> 01:13:34,681
Okay.

1391
01:13:34,683 --> 01:13:36,016
Good-bye.

1392
01:14:05,481 --> 01:14:08,983
Hey, Jimmy! Bobby here.
How are you, my friend?

1393
01:14:08,985 --> 01:14:10,216
Never better, never better.

1394
01:14:10,218 --> 01:14:12,422
Listen, what are the odds
right now?

1395
01:14:13,958 --> 01:14:16,824
Okay, put 15 grand
on me to win.

1396
01:14:16,826 --> 01:14:19,427
That's right, buddy,
15 big ones.

1397
01:14:19,429 --> 01:14:22,766
Okay. Great. Thank you, sir.

1398
01:14:26,836 --> 01:14:28,304
In other news, another battle

1399
01:14:28,306 --> 01:14:30,706
in the never-ending
war of the sexes...

1400
01:14:30,708 --> 01:14:32,241
...this one on
the tennis court

1401
01:14:32,243 --> 01:14:34,344
for a $100,000 purse.

1402
01:14:34,346 --> 01:14:35,744
It was announced today.

1403
01:14:35,746 --> 01:14:36,979
Women's tennis champion

1404
01:14:36,981 --> 01:14:39,149
Miss Billie Jean King,
who is 29...

1405
01:14:39,151 --> 01:14:42,618
...accepted the challenge
of 55-year-old Bobby Riggs...

1406
01:14:42,620 --> 01:14:43,986
...the match to be
held at a time

1407
01:14:43,988 --> 01:14:45,754
and place still to be decided.

1408
01:14:45,756 --> 01:14:47,257
Miss King said
she will not play

1409
01:14:47,259 --> 01:14:48,992
for the money but,
in her words...

1410
01:14:48,994 --> 01:14:50,760
..."to put women's tennis

1411
01:14:50,762 --> 01:14:53,263
"and women's lib back
where it belongs."

1412
01:14:53,265 --> 01:14:56,032
Riggs said he issued
the challenge because...

1413
01:14:56,034 --> 01:14:57,568
..."I want to prove
that women are lousy

1414
01:14:57,570 --> 01:15:00,006
"and they don't belong
on the same court as a man."

1415
01:15:00,639 --> 01:15:02,074
Wow.

1416
01:15:04,476 --> 01:15:06,378
- Put her there.
- All right, great.

1417
01:15:09,749 --> 01:15:12,217
Now, don't get me wrong,
I love women...

1418
01:15:12,219 --> 01:15:14,151
In the bedroom
and in the kitchen.

1419
01:15:14,153 --> 01:15:15,953
But these days,
they want to be everywhere!

1420
01:15:15,955 --> 01:15:17,921
They want to be
doing everything!

1421
01:15:17,923 --> 01:15:19,456
Where is it gonna end?

1422
01:15:19,458 --> 01:15:22,159
Pretty soon us fellas won't be
able to go to a ballgame,

1423
01:15:22,161 --> 01:15:23,560
we won't be able
to go fishing.

1424
01:15:23,562 --> 01:15:26,199
We won't be able to stop
and have a drink after work.

1425
01:15:26,201 --> 01:15:28,367
And that's what this whole
women's lib thing is about.

1426
01:15:28,369 --> 01:15:29,767
And it's got to stop.

1427
01:15:29,769 --> 01:15:31,435
And Bobby Riggs
is the man to stop it.

1428
01:15:31,437 --> 01:15:34,239
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is Custer's Last Stand.

1429
01:15:34,241 --> 01:15:37,442
This is the Lobber
versus the Libber!

1430
01:15:39,780 --> 01:15:41,849
Take that. Right?

1431
01:15:42,517 --> 01:15:44,183
Keep talking, Bobby.

1432
01:15:44,185 --> 01:15:45,651
The more nonsense you spout,

1433
01:15:45,653 --> 01:15:47,120
the worse it will be
when you lose.

1434
01:15:47,923 --> 01:15:49,323
Well, I'm the ladies
number one,

1435
01:15:49,325 --> 01:15:51,657
I'm the champ.
Why would I lose?

1436
01:15:51,659 --> 01:15:53,561
Because dinosaurs
can't play tennis.

1437
01:15:55,229 --> 01:15:57,898
I'm gonna put the "show"
back in "chauvinism."

1438
01:15:59,967 --> 01:16:01,269
Gentlemen.

1439
01:16:02,805 --> 01:16:05,972
What a beautiful day
to play tennis, huh?

1440
01:16:05,974 --> 01:16:08,442
All right, right here.
Right down the pike.

1441
01:16:08,444 --> 01:16:10,045
All right, I'm coming in.

1442
01:16:10,812 --> 01:16:13,882
I'm coming in! Give me a lob!

1443
01:16:15,117 --> 01:16:17,586
Right? That's how you do it.

1444
01:16:17,588 --> 01:16:19,721
You know what I'm doing?
I'm cooking.

1445
01:16:19,723 --> 01:16:21,924
I'm cooking! Am I cooking?

1446
01:16:22,458 --> 01:16:23,626
Oh...

1447
01:16:25,329 --> 01:16:27,331
Oh, there we go!

1448
01:16:27,697 --> 01:16:28,996
Ah!

1449
01:16:28,998 --> 01:16:30,465
All right, I got it.

1450
01:16:44,282 --> 01:16:47,851
They walked right into it.
I'm taking 'em all home!

1451
01:16:47,853 --> 01:16:50,251
They're gonna do my laundry.

1452
01:16:50,253 --> 01:16:52,121
You know what it's like?
Being reincarnated.

1453
01:16:52,123 --> 01:16:53,889
It's the greatest thing
I've ever done.

1454
01:16:53,891 --> 01:16:55,191
It's bigger
than winning Wimbledon,

1455
01:16:55,193 --> 01:16:57,426
bigger than Forest Hills,
bigger than the Pro Tour.

1456
01:16:57,428 --> 01:16:59,729
High point of my career,
maybe my life.

1457
01:16:59,731 --> 01:17:01,631
Hey, sweetie,
how about a cocktail?

1458
01:17:01,633 --> 01:17:02,900
There we go.

1459
01:17:02,902 --> 01:17:05,271
Oh, watch it!
I almost took your arms off.

1460
01:17:10,010 --> 01:17:11,607
I'm not saying
that women

1461
01:17:11,609 --> 01:17:12,777
don't belong on the court.

1462
01:17:12,779 --> 01:17:16,412
I mean, heck, who would pick
up the balls otherwise?

1463
01:17:16,414 --> 01:17:20,283
But all of this shouting
and yammering about equality.

1464
01:17:20,285 --> 01:17:22,452
Equality this, equality that.

1465
01:17:22,454 --> 01:17:25,155
Hey, how about some equality
for Bobby Riggs?

1466
01:17:25,157 --> 01:17:28,457
This is my third
nude shoot today.

1467
01:17:28,459 --> 01:17:31,062
I'm this old guy,
trying to make ends meet

1468
01:17:31,064 --> 01:17:33,664
on the senior circuit,
getting paid peanuts.

1469
01:17:33,666 --> 01:17:35,032
But if I can beat the ladies

1470
01:17:35,034 --> 01:17:37,835
and get equal prize money,
thank you very much...

1471
01:17:37,837 --> 01:17:39,772
...well, then all the girls
can just head back

1472
01:17:39,774 --> 01:17:42,073
in the kitchen
where they belong.

1473
01:17:42,075 --> 01:17:43,474
Look, he can talk
all he likes.

1474
01:17:43,476 --> 01:17:45,444
That's one of the few things
he's good at.

1475
01:17:45,446 --> 01:17:48,479
But the only thing that
matters is who wins the match.

1476
01:18:08,437 --> 01:18:09,670
Bobby!

1477
01:18:11,204 --> 01:18:13,106
Bobby, let's play
some tennis, man!

1478
01:18:13,108 --> 01:18:15,009
Damn it, Dad.

1479
01:18:27,990 --> 01:18:29,458
Thank you.

1480
01:18:30,726 --> 01:18:33,127
- Dad.
- Hey, kiddo!

1481
01:18:33,129 --> 01:18:34,996
I thought we were practicing.

1482
01:18:34,998 --> 01:18:36,096
You know what
I have to say to that?

1483
01:18:36,098 --> 01:18:38,766
Margaret Court.
6-2, 6-1.

1484
01:18:38,768 --> 01:18:41,369
I don't need to practice,
I got a secret weapon.

1485
01:18:41,371 --> 01:18:42,637
Rheo Blair, I'd like you
to meet the most

1486
01:18:42,639 --> 01:18:45,606
important person in my life...
apart from me.

1487
01:18:45,608 --> 01:18:47,107
My son, Larry.

1488
01:18:47,109 --> 01:18:48,509
You tell him, Rheo.

1489
01:18:48,511 --> 01:18:50,746
Two words, Larry:
Super Nutrition.

1490
01:18:50,748 --> 01:18:52,349
Super Nutrition!

1491
01:18:53,016 --> 01:18:54,449
You taking all of these?

1492
01:18:54,451 --> 01:18:55,851
Four hundred a day!

1493
01:18:55,853 --> 01:18:56,985
You're kidding.

1494
01:18:56,987 --> 01:18:58,386
Yeah, I'm rattling
around a little bit,

1495
01:18:58,388 --> 01:19:00,757
but you know what?
I feel better than ever.

1496
01:19:00,759 --> 01:19:02,990
It's the A to Z
of amino acids.

1497
01:19:02,992 --> 01:19:06,728
Vitamins, protein pills,
some fat busters,

1498
01:19:06,730 --> 01:19:08,197
and some of Rheo's Specials.

1499
01:19:08,733 --> 01:19:10,201
What's in those?

1500
01:19:11,603 --> 01:19:13,203
Specialness.

1501
01:19:14,505 --> 01:19:15,906
Specialness!

1502
01:19:15,908 --> 01:19:18,541
Who needs to train?
I'm gonna live forever.

1503
01:19:18,543 --> 01:19:20,277
Yeah, but this,
I don't know...

1504
01:19:20,279 --> 01:19:23,349
Oh, would you just relax?
Come on.

1505
01:19:24,415 --> 01:19:26,150
You saw
what I did to Margaret,

1506
01:19:26,152 --> 01:19:27,752
and she beat Billie Jean.

1507
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,161
One down!

1508
01:19:36,060 --> 01:19:37,395
What's next?

1509
01:19:38,297 --> 01:19:39,664
She played like an idiot.

1510
01:19:39,666 --> 01:19:42,367
There's no comparison.
Margaret folds.

1511
01:19:42,369 --> 01:19:44,969
You know Billie.
She loves pressure.

1512
01:19:44,971 --> 01:19:47,373
Yeah, but her game's
off right now.

1513
01:19:47,375 --> 01:19:49,041
It is. I mean,
I hate to say it,

1514
01:19:49,043 --> 01:19:50,775
but my money's on Bobby.

1515
01:19:50,777 --> 01:19:53,311
Yep. Mine, too.

1516
01:19:53,313 --> 01:19:55,179
Money that you have
because of Billie Jean.

1517
01:19:55,181 --> 01:19:57,149
It's not personal.
I don't want him to win.

1518
01:19:57,151 --> 01:19:58,983
I just think he will.

1519
01:20:10,999 --> 01:20:12,296
I think that
if I had to bet money,

1520
01:20:12,298 --> 01:20:13,932
I would bet on Bobby Riggs.

1521
01:20:13,934 --> 01:20:15,334
Well, my money's
on Bobby Riggs.

1522
01:20:15,336 --> 01:20:17,070
I've played with him.

1523
01:20:17,072 --> 01:20:18,604
The man has
tremendous experience...

1524
01:20:18,606 --> 01:20:20,473
...and the male muscle
is always a little

1525
01:20:20,475 --> 01:20:22,342
stronger than
the female muscle.

1526
01:20:22,344 --> 01:20:24,343
Billie Jean King.

1527
01:20:24,345 --> 01:20:25,879
You're gonna want to see this.

1528
01:20:25,881 --> 01:20:27,013
What? Am I on?

1529
01:20:27,015 --> 01:20:28,247
You got to check this out.

1530
01:20:28,249 --> 01:20:30,684
Billie Jean King
is an excellent player.

1531
01:20:30,686 --> 01:20:33,952
I think that besides that,
she's a beautiful lady.

1532
01:20:33,954 --> 01:20:35,489
And I like beautiful ladies.

1533
01:20:35,491 --> 01:20:37,225
I saw Bobby beat Margaret,

1534
01:20:37,227 --> 01:20:39,360
and I think that
he's a really tough player.

1535
01:20:39,362 --> 01:20:41,695
So I'd have to give him
the edge over Billie Jean.

1536
01:20:41,697 --> 01:20:42,795
I like it.

1537
01:20:42,797 --> 01:20:44,097
The breaking
news from Forest Hills

1538
01:20:44,099 --> 01:20:45,365
is that Billie Jean King...

1539
01:20:45,367 --> 01:20:46,835
...has defaulted
in her third-round match

1540
01:20:46,837 --> 01:20:48,236
against Julie Heldman.

1541
01:20:48,238 --> 01:20:50,071
Looking tired and dispirited,

1542
01:20:50,073 --> 01:20:52,607
Mrs. King left the court
after only one set.

1543
01:20:52,609 --> 01:20:54,108
Speculation mounts
that pressure from

1544
01:20:54,110 --> 01:20:55,943
the upcoming match
against Bobby Riggs...

1545
01:20:55,945 --> 01:20:57,511
...is taking its toll.

1546
01:20:57,513 --> 01:21:00,715
Taking its toll, baby!
I knew it!

1547
01:21:00,717 --> 01:21:03,653
She's crumbling, and I'm
hanging out by the pool!

1548
01:21:04,854 --> 01:21:07,791
Are you scamming me
to get more practice time?

1549
01:21:10,527 --> 01:21:11,992
I'm sick.

1550
01:21:11,994 --> 01:21:13,596
Let me see that.

1551
01:21:18,069 --> 01:21:19,934
Well, you're not dying.

1552
01:21:19,936 --> 01:21:21,604
Try to sound pleased.

1553
01:21:21,606 --> 01:21:24,608
Look, I love
the other girls, but...

1554
01:21:24,610 --> 01:21:26,874
...you're the draw.
You're my giant.

1555
01:21:26,876 --> 01:21:30,415
I'm a giant with the flu.
I don't know what to say.

1556
01:21:34,086 --> 01:21:35,619
Take two weeks off!

1557
01:21:35,621 --> 01:21:38,354
Go somewhere,
do what you need to do, okay?

1558
01:21:38,356 --> 01:21:39,523
But you have a tournament

1559
01:21:39,525 --> 01:21:40,823
the day after that
match with Riggs...

1560
01:21:40,825 --> 01:21:42,627
...and, win or lose,
you're gonna be there.

1561
01:21:43,128 --> 01:21:44,695
Okay, thank you.

1562
01:21:44,697 --> 01:21:46,864
And just so you know,
if you lose,

1563
01:21:46,866 --> 01:21:48,767
I will never forgive you.

1564
01:21:55,375 --> 01:21:57,909
Oh, Jesus, Larry.

1565
01:21:57,911 --> 01:22:01,381
It's too much. No wonder
my body's falling apart.

1566
01:22:10,322 --> 01:22:13,257
Okay, if there's somebody
that you need...

1567
01:22:13,259 --> 01:22:14,860
...that you want me
to call...

1568
01:22:16,262 --> 01:22:17,730
...I can call her.

1569
01:22:21,804 --> 01:22:23,538
No, there's nobody.

1570
01:22:25,539 --> 01:22:27,340
And if you mistake
him for a fool,

1571
01:22:27,342 --> 01:22:29,475
you may end up
looking like one yourself.

1572
01:22:29,477 --> 01:22:32,143
Whether he's wearing a dress,
playing with an umbrella...

1573
01:22:32,145 --> 01:22:33,346
...or sporting this season's

1574
01:22:33,348 --> 01:22:36,149
must-have accessory,
a flock of sheep...

1575
01:22:36,151 --> 01:22:38,016
...Bobby has not
lost a match yet.

1576
01:22:38,018 --> 01:22:41,221
And as the Bobby Riggs circus
moves on to the next town...

1577
01:22:41,223 --> 01:22:42,321
...people are beginning
to wonder

1578
01:22:42,323 --> 01:22:44,491
what has happened
to the opposition.

1579
01:22:44,493 --> 01:22:47,628
Has she choked?
Has she fled the country?

1580
01:22:47,630 --> 01:22:51,432
After withdrawing from Forest
Hills with a virus, nobody...

1581
01:22:51,434 --> 01:22:54,571
...has seen even the ghost
of Billie Jean King.

1582
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,908
Hey! Where are you going?

1583
01:23:00,910 --> 01:23:02,510
Where is she going?

1584
01:23:03,313 --> 01:23:04,781
My guess?

1585
01:23:06,648 --> 01:23:07,715
Houston.

1586
01:23:12,389 --> 01:23:13,821
She does know
what time this is...

1587
01:23:13,823 --> 01:23:15,525
Yes, I told you.

1588
01:23:16,259 --> 01:23:17,992
Has she pulled out?

1589
01:23:17,994 --> 01:23:19,461
She was ill.

1590
01:23:23,099 --> 01:23:25,066
Sorry I'm late, gentlemen.

1591
01:23:25,068 --> 01:23:27,070
Hey, honey, how's the flu?

1592
01:23:27,072 --> 01:23:28,802
- Flu?
- I heard you were ill.

1593
01:23:28,804 --> 01:23:31,607
No. Don't believe everything
you read in the papers, Bobby.

1594
01:23:31,609 --> 01:23:34,076
But thank you for the flowers.
I gave 'em to Rosie.

1595
01:23:34,078 --> 01:23:35,477
And I put 'em
in the trash.

1596
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,880
Oh.

1597
01:23:37,882 --> 01:23:39,016
Billie Jean.

1598
01:23:39,816 --> 01:23:40,818
Jack.

1599
01:23:42,286 --> 01:23:44,752
What are you doing here?

1600
01:23:44,754 --> 01:23:47,223
Jack's my choice
of commentator for ABC.

1601
01:23:47,225 --> 01:23:48,426
Jack?

1602
01:23:49,362 --> 01:23:50,827
Oh, that won't work.

1603
01:23:50,829 --> 01:23:52,529
Now, Billie Jean,
no one's complaining

1604
01:23:52,531 --> 01:23:54,263
about Rosie doing
the play-by-play.

1605
01:23:54,265 --> 01:23:55,798
Well, Rosie hasn't continually

1606
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:57,499
tried to dismantle
women's tennis.

1607
01:23:58,770 --> 01:24:01,304
You overstate
my influence, Billie Jean.

1608
01:24:01,306 --> 01:24:04,375
You blackballed us
from the USLTA, Jack.

1609
01:24:04,377 --> 01:24:06,443
We did you a favor.
Lousy organization.

1610
01:24:06,445 --> 01:24:07,777
Jack's my choice.

1611
01:24:07,779 --> 01:24:10,048
Sure make for
a punchy commentator.

1612
01:24:14,721 --> 01:24:16,253
I won't play.

1613
01:24:16,255 --> 01:24:19,424
Look, I just spent $750,000
on this event.

1614
01:24:19,426 --> 01:24:21,494
You can't pull out
the day before the match!

1615
01:24:22,261 --> 01:24:23,729
Says who?

1616
01:24:24,264 --> 01:24:25,466
Say...

1617
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,465
...I wonder if we could...

1618
01:24:28,467 --> 01:24:30,803
...have a word,
just the two of us.

1619
01:24:43,016 --> 01:24:44,415
Billie Jean...

1620
01:24:44,417 --> 01:24:46,185
...I know we've had
our differences,

1621
01:24:46,187 --> 01:24:49,321
but that's behind us.

1622
01:24:49,323 --> 01:24:51,625
This is between you
and Bobby now.

1623
01:24:51,627 --> 01:24:52,627
Bobby?

1624
01:24:53,361 --> 01:24:55,827
Oh, Bobby's a clown.

1625
01:24:55,829 --> 01:24:57,765
This whole thing's
an act for him, Jack.

1626
01:24:57,767 --> 01:24:59,498
You know that.

1627
01:24:59,500 --> 01:25:02,570
With you it's different.
It's for real.

1628
01:25:02,572 --> 01:25:04,038
What do you mean?

1629
01:25:06,642 --> 01:25:08,809
I don't think
you respect women.

1630
01:25:10,779 --> 01:25:12,913
I've been happily married
for 32 years.

1631
01:25:12,915 --> 01:25:15,916
No, I think you like us in
the kitchen and the bedroom.

1632
01:25:15,918 --> 01:25:18,519
I think you are a gentleman,
and I mean that.

1633
01:25:18,521 --> 01:25:20,121
Thank you.
I'll take my compliments

1634
01:25:20,123 --> 01:25:21,922
where I can from you.

1635
01:25:21,924 --> 01:25:24,861
It's when we dare
to want a little bit more.

1636
01:25:25,862 --> 01:25:28,130
Just a little bit
of what you've got.

1637
01:25:29,065 --> 01:25:31,199
That's what you can't stand.

1638
01:25:31,201 --> 01:25:32,400
Oh. Really?

1639
01:25:32,402 --> 01:25:34,001
Yeah.

1640
01:25:34,003 --> 01:25:35,670
And to have you telling
the American public

1641
01:25:35,672 --> 01:25:37,808
what to read
into every serve?

1642
01:25:38,342 --> 01:25:39,811
Every point?

1643
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:43,377
I'm sorry, Jack.

1644
01:25:43,379 --> 01:25:45,414
If you're commentating,
I'm not playing.

1645
01:25:45,416 --> 01:25:46,548
How do you think
that's gonna make

1646
01:25:46,550 --> 01:25:48,550
the great Billie
Jean King look?

1647
01:25:48,552 --> 01:25:49,685
Backing out
at the last minute

1648
01:25:49,687 --> 01:25:52,355
just because she didn't
like the commentator?

1649
01:25:52,357 --> 01:25:53,522
I think it's pretty
similar to how

1650
01:25:53,524 --> 01:25:56,157
it'll make the great
Jack Kramer look.

1651
01:25:56,159 --> 01:25:57,427
Shutting the whole thing down

1652
01:25:57,429 --> 01:25:59,564
because he didn't
get to participate.

1653
01:26:01,365 --> 01:26:04,166
No. That's not gonna happen.

1654
01:26:04,168 --> 01:26:05,903
You're not gonna do this.

1655
01:26:05,905 --> 01:26:09,305
This means too much to you.
You and your Sisterhood.

1656
01:26:09,307 --> 01:26:10,706
You'd never throw it

1657
01:26:10,708 --> 01:26:12,109
over something like this.
You won't.

1658
01:26:12,111 --> 01:26:15,180
Do you remember the last time
you thought I was bluffing?

1659
01:26:15,914 --> 01:26:17,181
One dollar.

1660
01:26:22,588 --> 01:26:23,720
You know
the difference between

1661
01:26:23,722 --> 01:26:25,857
a good player and a great?

1662
01:26:25,859 --> 01:26:29,528
The great players never let
emotion get in the way.

1663
01:26:29,530 --> 01:26:31,731
It messes with their game.

1664
01:26:42,274 --> 01:26:43,743
Sorry, Bobby.

1665
01:26:50,083 --> 01:26:51,684
Any last
minute thoughts, Billie Jean?

1666
01:26:51,686 --> 01:26:53,285
Are you going to win?

1667
01:26:53,287 --> 01:26:54,686
Of course she's gonna win.

1668
01:26:54,688 --> 01:26:56,622
Against an old guy
like Bobby Riggs, sure.

1669
01:26:56,624 --> 01:26:59,357
Let her play Rosewall
or Nastase.

1670
01:26:59,359 --> 01:27:01,628
Men are better.
End of story.

1671
01:27:01,630 --> 01:27:03,294
I'm not saying
women are better.

1672
01:27:03,296 --> 01:27:04,630
I've never said that.

1673
01:27:04,632 --> 01:27:07,232
I'm saying
we deserve some respect.

1674
01:27:07,234 --> 01:27:09,768
More than Bobby Riggs
or you are giving us.

1675
01:27:09,770 --> 01:27:11,638
Sir, do you have a daughter?

1676
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:14,173
Or a sister? You sure as heck
have a mother.

1677
01:27:14,175 --> 01:27:15,742
Is your father better
than your mother?

1678
01:27:15,744 --> 01:27:17,712
Just because he's a man?
Do you believe that?

1679
01:27:18,114 --> 01:27:18,979
No.

1680
01:27:18,981 --> 01:27:20,448
But that's what
you're saying...

1681
01:27:20,450 --> 01:27:21,847
whether you think
you are or not.

1682
01:27:21,849 --> 01:27:24,851
If I beat Bobby Riggs,
will you stop saying it?

1683
01:27:24,853 --> 01:27:25,919
Okay.

1684
01:27:25,921 --> 01:27:27,922
Sir, I'm gonna
hold you to that.

1685
01:27:27,924 --> 01:27:29,923
If I see you,
I'm gonna hold you to that.

1686
01:27:29,925 --> 01:27:31,259
Thank you.
That's it for today.

1687
01:27:31,261 --> 01:27:32,862
We'll see you at the match.

1688
01:28:18,376 --> 01:28:19,543
Let's get this show
on the road.

1689
01:28:19,545 --> 01:28:20,979
Here you go, Bobby.

1690
01:28:33,226 --> 01:28:35,825
- Dad?
- Yeah?

1691
01:28:35,827 --> 01:28:38,029
I'm just gonna
watch it here.

1692
01:28:40,100 --> 01:28:43,500
What do you mean? This is it.
This is the day.

1693
01:28:43,502 --> 01:28:45,304
I'm sorry. I'm...

1694
01:28:46,205 --> 01:28:47,673
...I'm not coming.

1695
01:28:50,242 --> 01:28:52,844
You don't think I'm gonna
lose, do you, kiddo?

1696
01:28:52,846 --> 01:28:53,711
No.

1697
01:28:53,713 --> 01:28:57,315
You'll do great.
You don't need me.

1698
01:28:57,317 --> 01:28:58,784
Good luck, Dad.

1699
01:29:05,925 --> 01:29:07,727
This one's from
Jennifer in Tucson.

1700
01:29:07,729 --> 01:29:10,461
"Good luck, Billie Jean,
we're all rooting for you."

1701
01:29:10,463 --> 01:29:11,796
This one's from Annie
from New York.

1702
01:29:11,798 --> 01:29:13,198
"Go, Billie,
we know you're gonna win."

1703
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,734
You've lost weight.
I have to take this in.

1704
01:29:15,736 --> 01:29:17,869
- We don't have time.
- We have time.

1705
01:29:17,871 --> 01:29:19,072
How you feeling, honey?

1706
01:29:19,074 --> 01:29:20,538
Do you need anything?
Water?

1707
01:29:20,540 --> 01:29:21,841
No, I'm good, thank you.

1708
01:29:21,843 --> 01:29:23,275
Twenty minutes to game time.

1709
01:29:23,277 --> 01:29:26,147
Rosie Casals,
they need you in the studio.

1710
01:29:27,348 --> 01:29:28,817
You're gonna kill him.

1711
01:29:29,952 --> 01:29:31,352
I'll see you guys in a bit.

1712
01:29:31,354 --> 01:29:32,684
Good luck out there.

1713
01:29:32,686 --> 01:29:35,288
Now, I have to ask,
do you really intend to

1714
01:29:35,290 --> 01:29:37,424
inflict blue suede shoes...

1715
01:29:37,426 --> 01:29:40,027
...on ninety million members
of the viewing public?

1716
01:29:40,029 --> 01:29:42,496
How many? Oh, my God.
Billie Jean!

1717
01:29:42,498 --> 01:29:43,596
If they're good enough
for Elvis,

1718
01:29:43,598 --> 01:29:44,966
they're good enough for me.

1719
01:29:44,968 --> 01:29:47,366
Well, something's off.

1720
01:29:47,368 --> 01:29:49,704
- And I think it's the shoes.
- It's not the shoes!

1721
01:29:49,706 --> 01:29:51,107
Your hair?

1722
01:29:57,047 --> 01:29:59,581
Mom, Dad, this is Marilyn.

1723
01:29:59,583 --> 01:30:00,782
My hairdresser.

1724
01:30:00,784 --> 01:30:03,783
Pleased to meet you.

1725
01:30:03,785 --> 01:30:05,922
Well, if there's one thing
I know, it's...

1726
01:30:05,924 --> 01:30:08,890
...never get between a woman
and her hairdresser.

1727
01:30:08,892 --> 01:30:10,591
Very funny. Yes indeed.

1728
01:30:10,593 --> 01:30:12,460
Come on.
Let's find our seats.

1729
01:30:12,462 --> 01:30:14,398
Here. I'll take you up there.

1730
01:30:18,735 --> 01:30:19,936
Good luck.

1731
01:30:20,337 --> 01:30:21,470
Thank you.

1732
01:30:21,472 --> 01:30:22,970
Yeah, give 'em heck.

1733
01:30:22,972 --> 01:30:25,474
Billie Jean, I'll be back
to take you to the court.

1734
01:30:25,476 --> 01:30:26,477
All right.

1735
01:30:29,414 --> 01:30:31,282
- Hi.
- Hi.

1736
01:30:34,952 --> 01:30:36,955
Your hairdresser, huh?

1737
01:30:39,358 --> 01:30:40,690
What was I supposed to say?

1738
01:30:40,692 --> 01:30:42,092
No, you're right.

1739
01:30:43,230 --> 01:30:44,830
That's why I'm here.

1740
01:30:48,167 --> 01:30:49,966
Come on.

1741
01:30:49,968 --> 01:30:53,636
Yeah, just like that.
That looks great.

1742
01:30:53,638 --> 01:30:56,373
Yep, zip her up. Oh, boy!

1743
01:30:56,375 --> 01:30:58,542
We need the "Sugar Daddy"
facing camera.

1744
01:30:58,544 --> 01:31:00,444
- Mmm-hmm.
- We got to see that.

1745
01:31:00,446 --> 01:31:02,579
Do you want me to hold it
from the stick?

1746
01:31:02,581 --> 01:31:04,516
- Uh...
- Am I gonna hold it that way?

1747
01:31:04,518 --> 01:31:06,250
That looks great.

1748
01:31:06,252 --> 01:31:08,986
We're trying to prepare
for the match.

1749
01:31:08,988 --> 01:31:10,822
So the camera can see it.

1750
01:31:10,824 --> 01:31:12,791
Yeah, up high.
Beautiful.

1751
01:31:12,793 --> 01:31:15,127
I'll get it up
nice and high.

1752
01:31:15,129 --> 01:31:17,195
- We got it. Thank you.
- Have a great match.

1753
01:31:17,197 --> 01:31:20,067
Thank you. Thank you,
ladies. See you out there.

1754
01:31:21,067 --> 01:31:24,134
See you out there.
Good work.

1755
01:31:24,136 --> 01:31:26,006
Do it for the men, Bobby.

1756
01:31:26,475 --> 01:31:27,839
Wow. You good?

1757
01:31:27,841 --> 01:31:29,340
Yeah! I'm ready for battle.

1758
01:31:29,342 --> 01:31:32,545
Stand by, Howard.
We are live in five...

1759
01:31:32,547 --> 01:31:35,149
...four... three...

1760
01:31:38,020 --> 01:31:41,422
The following
is an exclusive presentation

1761
01:31:41,424 --> 01:31:42,556
of ABC Sports.

1762
01:31:42,558 --> 01:31:46,025
Live from the Astrodome
in Houston, Texas...

1763
01:31:46,027 --> 01:31:48,294
...the Tennis Battle
of the Sexes,

1764
01:31:48,296 --> 01:31:51,898
Billie Jean King
vs. Bobby Riggs.

1765
01:31:51,900 --> 01:31:53,433
What a scene it is!

1766
01:31:53,435 --> 01:31:54,835
The Houston Astrodome...

1767
01:31:54,837 --> 01:31:56,503
...where up till now
they've played

1768
01:31:56,505 --> 01:32:00,241
almost every sport
in the world except tennis.

1769
01:32:00,243 --> 01:32:03,377
But in this panoramic scene,
a happening.

1770
01:32:03,379 --> 01:32:04,944
With the big band here,

1771
01:32:04,946 --> 01:32:08,248
with dancing cheerleaders,
and all of the rest.

1772
01:32:08,250 --> 01:32:10,284
It's hard to believe,
but probably

1773
01:32:10,286 --> 01:32:13,554
more than 30,000 people
are in this arena...

1774
01:32:13,556 --> 01:32:15,757
...for an all-time-record
tennis audience

1775
01:32:15,759 --> 01:32:17,491
anywhere in the world.

1776
01:32:30,140 --> 01:32:32,541
And zoom in on five.

1777
01:32:32,543 --> 01:32:33,941
Is that a priest?

1778
01:32:33,943 --> 01:32:36,279
Yeah. If Bobby wins,
she takes the groom's surname.

1779
01:32:36,281 --> 01:32:38,780
But if Billie Jean wins,
the groom takes her name.

1780
01:32:38,782 --> 01:32:43,085
Little flip-flop. Oh, boy.

1781
01:32:43,087 --> 01:32:44,553
Where's Billie Jean?

1782
01:32:44,555 --> 01:32:45,656
Can somebody...

1783
01:32:45,658 --> 01:32:47,523
Does anybody know
where she is?

1784
01:32:47,525 --> 01:32:50,224
What do you mean,
you lost her?

1785
01:32:50,226 --> 01:32:52,963
She's getting a trim.
She'll be right out.

1786
01:32:53,632 --> 01:32:55,165
Yeah, like a haircut.

1787
01:33:13,654 --> 01:33:15,120
I missed you.

1788
01:33:18,191 --> 01:33:19,191
I know.

1789
01:33:25,264 --> 01:33:27,533
Uh, ten minutes to game time!

1790
01:33:32,072 --> 01:33:33,673
Stay for the match?

1791
01:33:36,209 --> 01:33:38,277
- Are you sure?
- Yes.

1792
01:33:39,345 --> 01:33:40,414
Please.

1793
01:33:44,152 --> 01:33:46,118
There was, would you believe,
a problem

1794
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,285
about one of
our announcers to be:

1795
01:33:48,287 --> 01:33:50,857
Jack Kramer.
The famed tennis promoter.

1796
01:33:50,859 --> 01:33:53,058
The famed tennis player
of the past.

1797
01:33:53,060 --> 01:33:55,394
We wanted Jack Kramer.
We respected him.

1798
01:33:55,396 --> 01:33:57,229
He would have been
on our telecast.

1799
01:33:57,231 --> 01:33:59,631
Roll the Jack Kramer clip.

1800
01:33:59,633 --> 01:34:01,533
Billie Jean's gonna love this!

1801
01:34:01,535 --> 01:34:03,569
I want to make
one thing clear.

1802
01:34:03,571 --> 01:34:06,105
When I realized that
I was perhaps a problem...

1803
01:34:06,107 --> 01:34:07,540
...I thought maybe Billie Jean

1804
01:34:07,542 --> 01:34:09,376
would want to use me
as an excuse...

1805
01:34:09,378 --> 01:34:11,312
...if she lost
against Bobby Riggs.

1806
01:34:11,980 --> 01:34:13,847
To ABC's credit...

1807
01:34:13,849 --> 01:34:15,581
...they said,
"You call the shots, Jack,

1808
01:34:15,583 --> 01:34:17,050
"we'll go along with you."

1809
01:34:17,052 --> 01:34:19,387
But I'm withdrawing
voluntarily...

1810
01:34:19,389 --> 01:34:20,787
...and I'm wishing

1811
01:34:20,789 --> 01:34:23,523
a hundred percent good luck
to my pal, Bobby Riggs.

1812
01:34:23,525 --> 01:34:26,526
Okay, Jack, you know
how much we respect you.

1813
01:34:26,528 --> 01:34:29,063
They are ready for you
in the holding area.

1814
01:34:29,065 --> 01:34:30,666
I'll walk you
down there.

1815
01:34:32,135 --> 01:34:34,137
I think I'm gonna go
on my own.

1816
01:34:35,072 --> 01:34:37,141
- Okay?
- Yeah.

1817
01:35:12,311 --> 01:35:14,714
The package
is in the room.

1818
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:24,521
Billie! Billie Jean!

1819
01:35:24,523 --> 01:35:25,791
This is for you.

1820
01:35:27,327 --> 01:35:29,727
All right.

1821
01:35:29,729 --> 01:35:31,196
Gentlemen, let's go.

1822
01:35:47,815 --> 01:35:49,446
Ladies and gentlemen,

1823
01:35:49,448 --> 01:35:52,416
the Battle of the Sexes
is about to begin.

1824
01:35:52,418 --> 01:35:54,887
Introducing six-time
Wimbledon champion...

1825
01:35:54,889 --> 01:35:57,555
...four-time women's champion
of the United States...

1826
01:35:57,557 --> 01:36:00,292
...winner of the Grand Slam
of women's tennis...

1827
01:36:00,294 --> 01:36:02,495
Billie Jean King!

1828
01:36:31,326 --> 01:36:33,760
There is
an overwhelming sentiment

1829
01:36:33,762 --> 01:36:35,463
for Billie Jean King.

1830
01:36:35,465 --> 01:36:37,330
Very attractive young lady...

1831
01:36:37,332 --> 01:36:39,032
...and sometimes
you get the feeling

1832
01:36:39,034 --> 01:36:41,268
that if she ever
let her hair grow...

1833
01:36:41,270 --> 01:36:42,736
...and took her glasses off,

1834
01:36:42,738 --> 01:36:46,375
you'd have somebody vying
for a Hollywood screen test.

1835
01:36:46,377 --> 01:36:48,309
- Oh! Here comes Bobby Riggs.
- Ah.

1836
01:36:48,311 --> 01:36:51,145
You see him now
in the picture.

1837
01:36:51,147 --> 01:36:52,346
Ladies and gentlemen,

1838
01:36:52,348 --> 01:36:54,483
please welcome
Grand Slam champion...

1839
01:36:54,485 --> 01:36:58,486
...and Tennis Hall of Famer,
Bobby Riggs!

1840
01:36:59,657 --> 01:37:01,191
A long-awaited match,

1841
01:37:01,193 --> 01:37:02,625
hustled and promoted...

1842
01:37:02,627 --> 01:37:06,696
...ceaselessly and shrewdly
by Bobby Riggs.

1843
01:37:06,698 --> 01:37:07,730
There's Bobby.

1844
01:37:07,732 --> 01:37:11,433
The big act, the big bluster,
the big noise.

1845
01:37:11,435 --> 01:37:13,301
Now he's got
steeper competition

1846
01:37:13,303 --> 01:37:15,305
with Billie Jean King.

1847
01:37:15,307 --> 01:37:18,040
This thing is nuts.

1848
01:37:18,042 --> 01:37:21,444
All right, we're back
on camera and this is our...

1849
01:37:21,446 --> 01:37:23,913
...female expert tonight.
Recognize her?

1850
01:37:23,915 --> 01:37:25,915
Little Rosie Casals.

1851
01:37:25,917 --> 01:37:28,919
Now, you say Billie Jean
will win in three sets?

1852
01:37:28,921 --> 01:37:30,187
Yes, I definitely think so.

1853
01:37:30,189 --> 01:37:31,720
I think she's
a better tennis player...

1854
01:37:31,722 --> 01:37:34,056
...and I think what happened
with the Court and Riggs match

1855
01:37:34,058 --> 01:37:35,658
will not happen tonight.

1856
01:37:35,660 --> 01:37:38,162
Billie Jean will beat him,
definitely.

1857
01:37:38,164 --> 01:37:39,863
Well, I got this
beautiful lollipop

1858
01:37:39,865 --> 01:37:41,297
for Billie Jean.

1859
01:37:41,299 --> 01:37:44,236
I figure she's gonna be
a sucker for my lob.

1860
01:37:44,238 --> 01:37:46,704
I got something for you too,
Bobby, actually.

1861
01:37:46,706 --> 01:37:49,441
It's the ultimate gift
for a male chauvinist.

1862
01:37:50,176 --> 01:37:52,009
Ugh...

1863
01:37:52,011 --> 01:37:53,777
There you go.

1864
01:37:54,948 --> 01:37:56,247
Oh, that's okay,
that's okay.

1865
01:37:56,249 --> 01:37:58,315
Any last words
before the match, Bobby?

1866
01:37:58,317 --> 01:37:59,717
Well, this match
is for all the guys

1867
01:37:59,719 --> 01:38:01,452
around the world
that feel as I do...

1868
01:38:01,454 --> 01:38:03,788
...that the male is king,
the male is supreme.

1869
01:38:04,892 --> 01:38:05,990
Billie Jean?

1870
01:38:05,992 --> 01:38:08,125
I'm done talking.
Let's play.

1871
01:38:08,127 --> 01:38:09,528
Oh!

1872
01:38:09,530 --> 01:38:10,663
Ooh!

1873
01:38:45,967 --> 01:38:48,301
They have started the match.

1874
01:38:48,303 --> 01:38:50,505
Service, Billie Jean.

1875
01:38:54,243 --> 01:38:55,843
Love-15.

1876
01:38:55,845 --> 01:38:57,111
Bobby.

1877
01:38:57,113 --> 01:38:59,315
- Make us some money.
- That a boy.

1878
01:39:02,452 --> 01:39:04,319
This match, of course,

1879
01:39:04,321 --> 01:39:06,922
is going by satellite
all around the world.

1880
01:39:12,196 --> 01:39:14,529
15-all.

1881
01:39:14,531 --> 01:39:16,664
And you'll hear the crowd
responding all night

1882
01:39:16,666 --> 01:39:19,603
to every point
won by Billie Jean.

1883
01:39:32,883 --> 01:39:34,349
Attagirl.

1884
01:39:34,351 --> 01:39:35,685
Bobby's already starting.

1885
01:39:35,687 --> 01:39:38,354
Shouted "Attagirl" right after
Billie hit the winner.

1886
01:39:38,356 --> 01:39:39,556
When he starts losing,

1887
01:39:39,558 --> 01:39:41,159
I don't think
he's gonna say "Attagirl".

1888
01:39:41,161 --> 01:39:43,426
He's confident.

1889
01:39:43,428 --> 01:39:45,294
Not everybody
is for Billie Jean.

1890
01:39:45,296 --> 01:39:46,696
Some are for

1891
01:39:46,698 --> 01:39:48,766
the self-proclaimed
male chauvinist.

1892
01:39:48,768 --> 01:39:51,969
What he has to lose
if he loses this match!

1893
01:39:51,971 --> 01:39:53,304
He'll have to go back

1894
01:39:53,306 --> 01:39:55,372
to cooking and doing
the housework.

1895
01:39:56,574 --> 01:39:58,175
Game, Billie Jean King,

1896
01:39:58,177 --> 01:40:00,644
and the crowd loves it.

1897
01:40:00,646 --> 01:40:03,381
They're getting ready
to exchange courts.

1898
01:40:03,383 --> 01:40:06,720
Billie Jean leads
one game to love.

1899
01:40:08,921 --> 01:40:11,789
Bobby, you got to take
that damn jacket off.

1900
01:40:11,791 --> 01:40:13,657
They gave me twenty G's.
I got to keep it on.

1901
01:40:13,659 --> 01:40:15,461
I don't care,
you've got to take it off.

1902
01:40:30,344 --> 01:40:32,677
Nicely placed by Bobby Riggs.

1903
01:40:32,679 --> 01:40:34,580
I think she's too
tentative at the moment.

1904
01:40:34,582 --> 01:40:36,415
That's really the problem.

1905
01:40:36,417 --> 01:40:38,317
What is her overall strategy?

1906
01:40:38,319 --> 01:40:40,019
You're so close to her.

1907
01:40:40,021 --> 01:40:41,219
Well, psychologically

1908
01:40:41,221 --> 01:40:42,889
she's a better
pressure player.

1909
01:40:42,891 --> 01:40:45,058
Billie Jean's basically
like another Bobby Riggs.

1910
01:40:45,060 --> 01:40:46,292
She's a hustler.

1911
01:40:46,294 --> 01:40:47,725
She can take
that type of pressure

1912
01:40:47,727 --> 01:40:49,429
and give the same stuff
back to him.

1913
01:40:49,431 --> 01:40:50,830
Still no Riggs.

1914
01:40:50,832 --> 01:40:52,565
Right.

1915
01:40:52,567 --> 01:40:54,769
We're at 40-15.

1916
01:41:01,778 --> 01:41:03,911
Fun to see the old man
run for that one.

1917
01:41:03,913 --> 01:41:06,581
If Billie Jean
can keep Bobby running,

1918
01:41:06,583 --> 01:41:09,315
I think she could
wear him down.

1919
01:41:09,317 --> 01:41:13,654
Hence, the jacket begins to be
taken off by Bobby Riggs...

1920
01:41:13,656 --> 01:41:17,591
...and maybe the braggadocio
a little bit reduced.

1921
01:41:17,593 --> 01:41:19,659
A concession to the fact
that Riggs...

1922
01:41:19,661 --> 01:41:23,598
...perhaps knows he's running
into firm competition.

1923
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,200
I think he's gonna
start taking

1924
01:41:25,202 --> 01:41:26,666
some of the vitamin pills.

1925
01:41:26,668 --> 01:41:28,672
He's gonna start needing them.

1926
01:41:36,013 --> 01:41:39,013
Game point for Bobby.

1927
01:41:39,015 --> 01:41:40,949
Rosie, she looks tense to me.

1928
01:41:40,951 --> 01:41:42,650
She is tense.
No doubt about that.

1929
01:41:42,652 --> 01:41:44,288
This is
a very important match.

1930
01:41:46,890 --> 01:41:50,393
And Bobby Riggs
breaks through.

1931
01:41:50,395 --> 01:41:53,429
The first perhaps
turning point in...

1932
01:41:53,431 --> 01:41:55,698
...the first set
of this match.

1933
01:41:55,700 --> 01:41:58,634
Bobby Riggs leading
Billie Jean King.

1934
01:41:58,636 --> 01:42:00,102
He had the pressure on him.

1935
01:42:00,104 --> 01:42:02,239
He responded very well.

1936
01:42:02,241 --> 01:42:04,574
And Billie Jean
did not respond well

1937
01:42:04,576 --> 01:42:07,043
on that shot.
Advantage to Bobby Riggs.

1938
01:42:07,045 --> 01:42:08,112
Attaboy.

1939
01:42:20,125 --> 01:42:22,592
Marvelous shot by Bobby...

1940
01:42:22,594 --> 01:42:26,397
...and a great quick swing
by Billie Jean.

1941
01:42:26,399 --> 01:42:29,866
Billie answering great.
She did what she had to do...

1942
01:42:29,868 --> 01:42:32,605
...and she did it
her way, Gene.

1943
01:42:35,408 --> 01:42:37,677
And a great shot
by Bobby Riggs.

1944
01:42:53,060 --> 01:42:54,326
There it is.

1945
01:42:54,328 --> 01:42:57,496
And the first
set goes to Billie Jean King.

1946
01:42:57,498 --> 01:42:59,499
Point and set.

1947
01:42:59,501 --> 01:43:01,701
The women in this arena
are standing

1948
01:43:01,703 --> 01:43:04,772
and cheering
for Billie Jean King.

1949
01:43:04,774 --> 01:43:06,773
Bobby doesn't
look very happy.

1950
01:43:06,775 --> 01:43:09,042
He's sort of walking
with his head down.

1951
01:43:09,044 --> 01:43:10,778
I think he's gonna get
a little strategy

1952
01:43:10,780 --> 01:43:13,046
from his coach over there.

1953
01:43:13,048 --> 01:43:15,649
They have
a four-minute break, Howard.

1954
01:43:15,651 --> 01:43:17,616
I suppose
we all expected to have

1955
01:43:17,618 --> 01:43:19,721
some high humor
involved in it.

1956
01:43:19,723 --> 01:43:21,053
Instead, it seems
to have become

1957
01:43:21,055 --> 01:43:23,523
a very, very serious thing,
because...

1958
01:43:23,525 --> 01:43:26,261
...the comedy has gone out
of Bobby Riggs.

1959
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,400
The second game of the second
set has just begun...

1960
01:43:33,402 --> 01:43:34,667
...Bobby Riggs serving,

1961
01:43:34,669 --> 01:43:36,738
having broken through
Billie Jean King...

1962
01:43:36,740 --> 01:43:40,942
...one game to none
in favor of Bobby Riggs.

1963
01:43:40,944 --> 01:43:43,813
And Billie Jean is seeking
to strike back.

1964
01:43:53,790 --> 01:43:55,056
Billie Jean is killing him

1965
01:43:55,058 --> 01:43:57,159
with that overhand smash,
I'll tell you that.

1966
01:43:57,161 --> 01:43:59,761
Bobby suddenly has
become an underdog, Howard.

1967
01:43:59,763 --> 01:44:01,699
Yes, some of
them are cheering for him.

1968
01:44:06,703 --> 01:44:08,038
Beautiful.

1969
01:44:09,574 --> 01:44:12,040
Billie Jean King...

1970
01:44:12,042 --> 01:44:15,577
...has won the second set,
six games to three.

1971
01:44:15,579 --> 01:44:18,113
She leads two sets to love...

1972
01:44:18,115 --> 01:44:22,185
...and it's so far a very
great night for the ladies.

1973
01:44:22,187 --> 01:44:24,989
Bobby Riggs is fighting
for his tennis life.

1974
01:44:24,991 --> 01:44:27,458
She's filled
with confidence now.

1975
01:44:27,460 --> 01:44:28,625
Great shot!

1976
01:44:28,627 --> 01:44:30,395
Marvelous shot!

1977
01:44:30,397 --> 01:44:32,661
Bobby trails
four games to two.

1978
01:44:32,663 --> 01:44:35,265
No question about it,
Billie Jean has been

1979
01:44:35,267 --> 01:44:37,468
the aggressor in this match.

1980
01:44:37,470 --> 01:44:38,603
I think we're having

1981
01:44:38,605 --> 01:44:40,069
a little problem
with his hand.

1982
01:44:40,071 --> 01:44:41,738
He keeps pulling
on his fingers,

1983
01:44:41,740 --> 01:44:44,542
and to me that says
he's getting a cramp.

1984
01:44:44,544 --> 01:44:45,610
He's having the hand

1985
01:44:45,612 --> 01:44:47,011
and the arm looked at.

1986
01:44:47,013 --> 01:44:48,145
Is this an injury then?

1987
01:44:48,147 --> 01:44:49,680
This is an injury.

1988
01:44:49,682 --> 01:44:52,017
Five minutes delay
for an injury.

1989
01:44:52,019 --> 01:44:54,351
I knew it would come
to this. I knew...

1990
01:44:54,353 --> 01:44:56,955
...Bobby would have
to come down to something.

1991
01:44:56,957 --> 01:44:58,389
Like injuries.

1992
01:44:58,391 --> 01:45:00,693
Let me say this
about Bobby Riggs, Rosie.

1993
01:45:00,695 --> 01:45:03,027
You've gotten in
all your licks tonight

1994
01:45:03,029 --> 01:45:04,563
at the guy, and that's fine.

1995
01:45:04,565 --> 01:45:08,835
And he made a lot of noise
about male chauvinism and...

1996
01:45:08,837 --> 01:45:10,368
...the women belonged
in the kitchen,

1997
01:45:10,370 --> 01:45:11,837
and all the rest.

1998
01:45:11,839 --> 01:45:15,608
But he is 55,
and he's some kind of guy.

1999
01:45:15,610 --> 01:45:16,976
I agree.
But I don't think

2000
01:45:16,978 --> 01:45:18,276
he belongs on the court...

2001
01:45:18,278 --> 01:45:20,814
...with somebody
of Billie Jean's caliber.

2002
01:45:22,017 --> 01:45:23,384
Well, the way it's proving

2003
01:45:23,386 --> 01:45:24,916
out at the moment...

2004
01:45:24,918 --> 01:45:26,786
...turns out
that you are right,

2005
01:45:26,788 --> 01:45:30,257
if it ends this way.

2006
01:45:30,259 --> 01:45:34,528
Okay, Bobby's ready to serve,
trailing in the third set.

2007
01:45:34,530 --> 01:45:36,331
Here we go, Bobby,
what do you say?

2008
01:45:39,268 --> 01:45:40,402
Attaboy!

2009
01:45:41,336 --> 01:45:42,802
15-love.

2010
01:45:42,804 --> 01:45:46,341
One of the fans yelling,
"Come on, Bobby baby!"

2011
01:45:47,409 --> 01:45:49,144
Bobby wins that point...

2012
01:45:49,146 --> 01:45:52,413
...as he starts his fight
to break through Billie Jean.

2013
01:45:52,415 --> 01:45:56,885
Bobby Riggs fights back
and breaks through!

2014
01:45:56,887 --> 01:45:58,287
Whether he had
the hand cramp

2015
01:45:58,289 --> 01:45:59,622
earlier or not...

2016
01:45:59,624 --> 01:46:01,355
...what he obviously
was trying to do

2017
01:46:01,357 --> 01:46:03,824
was break up Billie Jean's
brilliant momentum.

2018
01:46:03,826 --> 01:46:06,061
Mmm-hmm. Great shot.

2019
01:46:06,063 --> 01:46:07,295
Listen to that crowd!

2020
01:46:07,297 --> 01:46:08,562
Now cheering for Riggs.

2021
01:46:08,564 --> 01:46:10,098
Not bad for an old man.

2022
01:46:10,100 --> 01:46:12,402
Bobby still has
the break, Rosie.

2023
01:46:42,936 --> 01:46:45,036
Marvelous point
won by Billie Jean!

2024
01:46:47,473 --> 01:46:49,140
I'll tell you, she's tough.

2025
01:46:49,142 --> 01:46:50,740
Walking back, she's walking

2026
01:46:50,742 --> 01:46:53,211
more like a male
than a female.

2027
01:46:58,150 --> 01:47:00,352
- Out.
- Out.

2028
01:47:01,488 --> 01:47:02,822
Double fault.

2029
01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:08,627
You're looking

2030
01:47:08,629 --> 01:47:10,761
at an apparently tired
Bobby Riggs.

2031
01:47:10,763 --> 01:47:12,297
Look at how Billie Jean King

2032
01:47:12,299 --> 01:47:14,299
has been running him
over the court.

2033
01:47:14,301 --> 01:47:16,701
And that's been
her principal tactic,

2034
01:47:16,703 --> 01:47:18,704
to wear him down.

2035
01:47:22,577 --> 01:47:24,175
Yes!

2036
01:47:24,177 --> 01:47:25,778
- Beautiful!
- Great shot.

2037
01:47:25,780 --> 01:47:26,912
And, wham,

2038
01:47:26,914 --> 01:47:28,515
that's the kind of tennis
we've had...

2039
01:47:30,117 --> 01:47:31,184
Right on, baby!

2040
01:47:31,186 --> 01:47:32,587
She puts it away.

2041
01:47:33,522 --> 01:47:34,990
Look at that!

2042
01:47:35,724 --> 01:47:37,324
A brilliant move!

2043
01:47:37,326 --> 01:47:39,057
Amazing shot.

2044
01:47:39,059 --> 01:47:41,628
And she is at match point.

2045
01:47:47,602 --> 01:47:49,803
I really hope
Jack Kramer is watching this

2046
01:47:49,805 --> 01:47:52,439
and will cement something
in his head...

2047
01:47:52,441 --> 01:47:55,410
...that women are not
some kind of joke.

2048
01:47:58,747 --> 01:48:02,885
Bobby Riggs...
fights for his whole hustle.

2049
01:48:43,861 --> 01:48:45,930
I underestimated you.

2050
01:49:53,936 --> 01:49:57,003
It's the game
that's become a cause celebre.

2051
01:49:57,005 --> 01:50:00,406
Equality for women.
Equal rights.

2052
01:50:00,408 --> 01:50:03,476
It was Billie Jean who fought
for equal pay for women...

2053
01:50:03,478 --> 01:50:06,879
...in the U.S. Open tennis
tournament and got it.

2054
01:50:06,881 --> 01:50:09,147
Billie Jean King
played her own game,

2055
01:50:09,149 --> 01:50:11,352
resting up,
being non-communicative...

2056
01:50:11,354 --> 01:50:13,287
...but preparing
herself mentally

2057
01:50:13,289 --> 01:50:15,088
and emotionally
and physically...

2058
01:50:15,090 --> 01:50:18,626
...for a stunning performance
against Bobby Riggs.

2059
01:50:18,628 --> 01:50:21,361
Frank Gifford wants you live
right now. Come on.

2060
01:50:21,363 --> 01:50:23,297
Frank Gifford wants to do
a live interview

2061
01:50:23,299 --> 01:50:24,899
with you.
He's just over here.

2062
01:50:24,901 --> 01:50:27,437
Just in a minute.
In a minute.

2063
01:52:48,919 --> 01:52:50,852
Madame Superstar!

2064
01:52:52,189 --> 01:52:54,391
- Congratulations.
- Aww.

2065
01:52:55,959 --> 01:52:57,194
Now, come on.

2066
01:52:58,328 --> 01:53:01,263
The dancing can't start
without you.

2067
01:53:01,265 --> 01:53:03,467
I'm not sure I'm ready
for all this.

2068
01:53:05,403 --> 01:53:08,205
I think you may be more ready
than you know.

2069
01:53:11,076 --> 01:53:13,377
Times change.

2070
01:53:13,379 --> 01:53:15,479
You should know.
You just changed them.

2071
01:53:21,220 --> 01:53:22,620
Someday...

2072
01:53:22,622 --> 01:53:25,822
...we will be free
to be who we are...

2073
01:53:25,824 --> 01:53:27,960
...and love who we love.

2074
01:53:36,702 --> 01:53:37,770
But now...

2075
01:53:38,772 --> 01:53:40,639
...time to join the dance.

2076
01:53:51,584 --> 01:53:53,318
Ladies and gentlemen...

2077
01:53:53,320 --> 01:53:55,854
Billie Jean King!

2078
