Million Dollar Baby Scene 6 Summary

Fallout: Big Willie Edition

  • Frankie arrives at the Hit Pit to find Danger and Scrap in the ring, sparring. Maggie's there, too, practicing on her speed bag.
  • Danger once again challenges Tommy Hearns.
  • Scrap's voice-over confirms our suspicions when he explains, "No one had the heart to tell Danger that Hearns retired years ago." We knew it.
  • Up in the office, Frankie's practicing his Gaelic again when Scrap comes up to say he heard about Big Willie.
  • They get into an argument about how Frankie managed Big Willie, with Scrap suggesting that Frankie didn't believe in him, and Frankie insisting that he was protecting him.
  • Things get pretty heated. Frankie basically says that he didn't want Big Willie to turn into Scrap and spend the second half of his life cleaning up after people. Scrap basically tells Frankie he blew his chance at a title fight.
  • Scrap returns to the gym floor while Maggie looks on. These boxers sure are an observant bunch.
