Million Dollar Baby Scene 12 Summary

Crazy About Mo Cuishle

  • Frankie arrives at Maggie's studio apartment. It's not exactly luxurious. He encourages her to save up for a house.
  • Then he tells her she's going to England for a title fight. She's stoked and jumps into his arms. He tells her to get down; after all, he's an old man.
  • Cut to an establishing shot of the Thames. We're in merry ol' England.
  • In the locker room, Frankie tapes Maggie up before the fight and presents her with a green silk robe that says "Mo Cuishle" on the back.
  • When Maggie asks him what that means, he says he doesn't know. It's just something in Gaelic. Liar.
  • As Maggie fights, the crowd cheers her on, chanting, "Mo Cuishle! Mo Cuishle!"
  • Maggie struggles a bit, but ultimately knocks her opponent out while the crowd continues to chant "Mo Cuishle!"
  • She gives Frankie a huge hug, and they celebrate in the ring.
  • Back in the locker room, Frankie continues to pretend not to know what "Mo Cuishle" means. We're on you, Dunn.
  • Scraps tells us that the nickname "Mo Cuishle" stuck. Maggie fights all over Europe, and wherever she goes, the boxing fans go bonkers for "Mo Cuishle."
