Sylvester Stallone: I can´t. I don´t even know you.

Black Fan: Oh, man. What you talkin´about? You can´t kiss my wife?

Sylvester Stallone: It has nothing to do with your wife, really.

Black Fan: Oh, man! Check it. Anyway, yo´, you was in the woods, right? You remember that? And you got a deep gash in your arm…

Sylvester Stallone: Yeah…

Black Fan: And you ended up sewing up your own wound…

(White fan comes back with a camera and jumps on Stallone almost making him fall)

White Fan: WHAAA!!!

Sylvester Stallone: Oh, hey, hey, hey.

White Fan: Yo´!, whoa, not for nothing…

Black Fan: Not for nothing…

White Fan: I gotta be honest, I thought you were bigger, man!!

Black Fan: Me too!! (grabbing Stallone´s arm) Make a muscle, make a muscle, make a muscle.

Sylvester Stallone: I don´t need to make a muscle.

White Fan: Dude, I told my wife: “I´m bigger than Rocky!” “I´m bigger than Rocky!” How much money you making? Crazy money?!

Sylvester Stallone: Wait a minute, enough, enough. Seriously, I´m not Rocky, I´m not Rambo. I´m just a regular guy with a family…and really, I have to go. So, thank you.

Black Fan: One minute. One thing. Let me see that hunting knife that you be carrying. Where you hiding it? (pats Stallone down)

White Fan: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Give me one “Paulie”. “Yo´Paulie!”

Sylvester Stallone: Why would you do that?

White Fan: “Yo´,Paulie!” “Yo´, Paulie!” “Yo´, Paulie!”

(Stallone is losing patience. Shakes black fan´s hand)

Sylvester Stallone: Nice meeting you, Seriously, thank you. I´m just asking you to get out of my way.

White Fan: What you talking about? You do it for millions of people, you can´t do one for me?! How hard can it be?

Sylvester Stallone: In the movie…

White Fan: “Yo´, Paulie!”, “Yo´, Paulie!”

Black Fan: What´s up with that weak handshake you just gave me, man? You ain´t no Rambo!(pushes Stallone) You ain´t no Rambo!

White Fan: (towering over Stallone) Shorty! Shorty!

Sylvester Stallone: (getting angry) Shorty?

White Fan: Shorty!

Black Fan: You ain´t no Rambo! (pushing Stallone)

Sylvester Stallone: You´re crossing the line, guys. You are crossing the line, all right.

Black Fan: You ain´t no Rambo, man! You are not no Rambo, man.

Sylvester Stallone: (very angry) You know, this is the reason why I don´t go out, because of guys like you, all right.

White Fan: Keep truckin´, RAMBUM!!

(The fans laugh at Stallone and he just fills with rage, turns around and jumps on the duo)
