Here you be, Johnny.

That sure fast service.

- Would have been here sooner, - but..
- I say, I would have been - here sooner

But the bridge was out.

Entirely gone.

I say, it ain't there anymore.

Was washed out.

Okay, pop.

Well, we can't please everybody.

Giddy up, Manny.

Whoosh

Let me see now, boxing gloves, punching bag, dumbbells.

All sorts of things and stuff.

'You must do is to strike'

'Now, the first thing the correct fighting pose.'

'Head back and chest out.'

'I said chest out!'

'Now, take a deep breath and..'

- [telephone ringing] - 'Oh, pardon me.'

'Someone's on the phone.'

[instrumental music]

'Now, let's proceed.'

'Jab with your left, then your right.'

'Left, right. Faster, right, left.'

- 'Right, faster, right, - left, right.'

'Left, right, left, right..'

'Stick in your tongue. Tch, tch, tch.'

'There's people looking at you.'

'That's better. Now, let's punch the bag a bit.'

[music continues]

'First, strike the bag sharply'

'with the right hand.'

'Oops. Tch, tch, tch.'

'That's no position for a champ.'

'Upsy-daisy.'

'Let's try it again. Ready?'

'One, two. One, two. One, two.'

'One, two. That's the boy.'

'That will be all for today.'

'I said, that'll be all for today!'

thud thud thud

'Stop punching that bag!'

[g*nsh*t]

- 'For the fourth - and final lesson'

'we'll do a little boxing.'

'Ready?'

- 'One, two. One, two. - One, two.'

'Chest up. Chest up. Duck, jab, wanna buy duck, jab, jab, duck.'

'Duck, jab, jab, duck, duck, duck.'

'Nice going. And that concludes your boxing instruction.'

'And here's your diploma.'

It's amazing.
