37 00:03:11 I want a gun.
38 00:03:12 They just snuck this out
39 00:03:13 in the middle of the night.Lowlifes.
40 00:03:15 This is outrageous.
41 00:03:17 And it's got Jack Kramer'sfingerprints all over it.
42 00:03:19 You're absolutelyright it does.

48 00:03:37 - Thank you.- Of course.
49 00:03:39 They won't getaway with it.
50 00:03:40 Uh-oh.
51 00:03:42 You can't go in there.
52 00:03:43 Excuse me.
53 00:03:45 Wait a minute.
54 00:03:46 Surprised in their lair.
55 00:03:48 This is an unexpectedpleasure.
56 00:03:51 My goodness, you both looksensational, if I may say.
57 00:03:54 You may not.
58 00:03:55 You're not supposedto be in here, you know.
59 00:03:57 Because I'm a womanor because I'm a Jew, Bob?
60 00:03:59 Please, you're welcome here.Have a seat.
61 00:04:04 What can we do for you?
62 00:04:06 Would you likea glass of something maybe?
63 00:04:08 No, thank you, Jack.
64 00:04:11 I find it's bestto be clear before
65 00:04:13 committing cold-bloodedmurder, so...
66 00:04:15 ...clarify...
67 00:04:18 ...the press release.
68 00:04:19 Ah, yes.
69 00:04:20 It says herethat you're offering
70 00:04:22 the men's winner $12,000...
71 00:04:24 ...and $1,500 to the women's.
72 00:04:26 Those are the terms.
73 00:04:28 The men's prizeneeds to be that high
74 00:04:30 to attract the best players.
75 00:04:31 We're trying to make this
76 00:04:32 the most prestigioustournament in America.
77 00:04:34 And paying the womenless than ever
78 00:04:36 makes it more prestigious.Uh...
79 00:04:38 Well, it's simply a questionof what we can afford.
80 00:04:41 People pay to seethe men play.
81 00:04:43 They're the draw.
82 00:04:44 They're eight timesmore of a draw?
83 00:04:47 Sorry?
84 00:04:48 You're offeringthe men's winner
85 00:04:50 eight times that of the women.
86 00:04:51 Do we bring inan eighth of the crowd?
87 00:04:53 I don't knowpercentages, but...
88 00:04:55 They sold the exactsame amount of tickets
89 00:04:56 to the women's final todayas the men's.
90 00:04:59 - Isn't that right, Jack?- Today, yeah, I suppose so.
91 00:05:02 Same sales, same prize money.Makes sense to me.
92 00:05:05 Oh, come on.Be reasonable.
93 00:05:07 There's no waythat we could afford that.
94 00:05:09 What's your argument, Jack?
95 00:05:12 For one thing,
96 00:05:14 the men have familiesthat they have to support.
97 00:05:16 I'm the main breadwinnerin my family.
98 00:05:19 Yeah. Yeah.
99 00:05:21 Look.
100 00:05:25 The men are simply...more exciting to watch.
101 00:05:29 They are.
102 00:05:31 - They're faster.- Fact.
103 00:05:33 - And stronger.- Fact.
104 00:05:34 And more competitive.
105 00:05:35 Just a fact.
106 00:05:36 It's not your fault,it's just... biology.
107 00:05:40 That's not my point. We sellthe same amount of tickets.
108 00:05:45 I'm sorry.It's not going to happen.
109 00:05:51 Well, if that'sthe way it is...
110 00:05:55 ...we'll boycottthe tournament.
111 00:05:57 Fact.
112 00:06:00 Well, now...
113 00:06:02 ...we'll sure miss your prettyfaces, but go right ahead.
114 00:06:06 Not only will we boycott,
115 00:06:07 we'll set upour own tournament.
116 00:06:09 Fact.
117 00:06:10 At the exact same timeas the Pacific Southwest.
118 00:06:13 Fact.
119 00:06:14 Be sure and send me tickets.You have a good night, ladies.
120 00:06:20 That'll never happen.
121 00:06:29 Are we reallygonna do this?
122 00:06:32 Sure we're gonna do this.
123 00:06:34 How are we gonna do this?
124 00:06:39 No idea.
125 00:06:42 Right.
126 00:06:48 Did you have a busy day?
127 00:06:50 Run off my feet.Not a minute to think.
128 00:06:55 Whatever it isI'm supposed to be
129 00:06:57 doing down there, Priscilla,I'm not doing it.
130 00:07:00 Well, Daddy told methat he thinks
131 00:07:02 you're an integral partof the company.
132 00:07:04 Huh. Integral.
133 00:07:06 Like the stapler on my desk.
134 00:07:08 Well, it's steady,
135 00:07:09 and it's whatyou need right now.
136 00:07:10 I know. I know.
137 00:07:15 I wonder how much peppercornsare in here.
138 00:07:19 I don't know, Junior.
139 00:07:21 I'd say about a thousand.
140 00:07:22 No way! There got to be atleast five thousand in there.
141 00:07:25 I'd put a dollaron a thousand.
142 00:07:27 - Young man.- Whoa, no, no, no.
143 00:07:30 Young man, we do not gambleat the dinner table.
144 00:07:34 We do not gamble anyplace,Bobby.
145 00:07:37 Exactly.We do not gamble anyplace.
146 00:07:42 No, we do not.
147 00:07:48 One dollar.
148 00:07:50 Come on.

179 00:09:22 You know what?He keeps betting me,
180 00:09:24 I don't knowwhat to do about it.

184 00:09:31 - You still married, Bobby?- Oh, barely.
185 00:09:33 He sure will be if he shows upin a Rolls-Royce.

187 00:09:37 Why?
188 00:09:38 Even Bobbywill find it tough
189 00:09:39 to talk his way outof that one.
190 00:09:40 "Oh, honey, this crazy day!
191 00:09:41 "This guy on the corner justgave me a Silver Shadow."
192 00:09:44 Think that'll cut it?

194 00:09:46 The man just won himselfa Rolls-Royce!

215 00:10:28 equality this, equality that.

217 00:10:31 Why would theyever pay the women
218 00:10:32 the same as the guys?
219 00:10:34 All I can tell youis that there is nothing wrong
220 00:10:36 with a nice girl in a shortskirt chasing a ball.
221 00:10:38 You know,I won the goddamn U.S. Open.

265 00:12:17 Sounds like you girls aregetting men to pay attention
266 00:12:19 to what you're sayingfor once.
267 00:12:21 You know what wouldreally get their attention?
268 00:12:22 A sex strike.
269 00:12:24 What? That would punish usjust as much as the men.
270 00:12:27 I don't thinkI'd even miss it.
271 00:12:29 My ex went about it likehe was fixing the carburetor
272 00:12:31 on the Oldsmobile.
273 00:12:32 And he could neverget that damn car to start.
274 00:12:35 Rosie, come on!
275 00:12:36 At least women knowwhere the carburetor is.
276 00:12:40 So...
277 00:12:41 ...Billie Jean...
278 00:12:43 ...what do you want?
279 00:12:48 What do you mean?
280 00:12:51 With your hair. What do youwant to do with it?
281 00:12:53 Oh.

291 00:13:29 Would you let me just...give you a little trim?
292 00:13:36 It'll make you feel likea whole new person.

294 00:13:48 Is that perfume?
295 00:13:50 It's lavender oil.

416 00:19:19 - You like it?- I love it!
417 00:19:21 And what will the esteemed
418 00:19:23 Lawn Tennis Associationsay about this?
419 00:19:26 Ladies and gentlemen,I give you,
420 00:19:27 for the first timein the history of tennis...
421 00:19:31 ...color!
422 00:19:33 The shock will killthe old dears.
423 00:19:50 87 KMRP.
424 00:19:51 It's twelve minutesafter 7:00,
425 00:19:53 and we are privileged,tennis fans...
426 00:19:55 ...to have the greatBillie Jean King
427 00:19:57 in the studio with us today,along with a...
428 00:19:59 ...a lot of very livelyWTA tennis players.
429 00:20:02 Say hi, ladies.
430 00:20:04 Hi.
431 00:20:05 The word is that you galsare renegades
432 00:20:07 from the tennis establishment.Is that right?
433 00:20:10 Yeah.
434 00:20:11 The U.S. LawnTennis Association
435 00:20:12 wasn't really giving us womenour fair share,
436 00:20:14 so we thought...
437 00:20:16 ..."Hey, we'll do iton our own."
438 00:20:17 Taking the bull by the horns.
439 00:20:19 That's right.
440 00:20:20 Here's the inside scoop:
441 00:20:21 We do everything.
442 00:20:22 We are the ones laying downthe courts.
443 00:20:25 We're selling tickets.
444 00:20:27 We're doing publicity.
445 00:20:28 And we have to fit in practicesomewhere in between there.
446 00:20:30 We are alsotrying to get tennis away
447 00:20:32 from the stuffy oldcountry club sport.
448 00:20:34 We want it to befor everybody.
449 00:20:36 It's 1973, so... we couldupdate a couple things.
450 00:20:40 Now, you allplay each other
451 00:20:42 in the tournaments and...
452 00:20:43 ...you room together as well.
453 00:20:45 So how does that workwhen you have to room
454 00:20:47 with somebodywho just beat you...
455 00:20:49 ...or who you just defeated?
456 00:20:50 It's fine,because I usually win.
457 00:20:52 Oh. That's not true at all.
458 00:20:54 It's fine if you're notrooming with Rosie.
459 00:20:56 Oh, okay. Don't room withRosie... That's the message.
460 00:20:59 We're also, you know,united for a greater cause.
461 00:21:02 So it keeps the focuson something else.
462 00:21:04 It's bigger than the match.
463 00:21:06 Nice to meet you. Bye!
464 00:21:08 Do you all consider yourselveswomen's libbers?
465 00:21:12 - Oh, sure.- I think so.
466 00:21:13 What we're doing hereis trying to prove
467 00:21:15 that women should be paidand respected equally.
468 00:21:18 We're just as entertainingas the men.
469 00:21:19 You're definitelycuter than the men.
470 00:21:23 It must get a littlelonely out there on the road.
471 00:21:26 Don't you ever missyour husbands?
472 00:21:28 Sure. Of course we do.
473 00:21:31 I talk to Larryon the phone every day.
474 00:21:33 We're used to it. As pros,we're not home very often.
475 00:21:36 And some of usdon't have husbands.
476 00:21:38 Whoa.
477 00:21:38 Single men,you heard it here first.

481 00:21:48 Or bring everyone.

483 00:21:51 That's the point of this tour.
484 00:21:52 It's for everyone,and it's a whole lot of fun.
485 00:21:55 You heard it here, folks.We'll get in more music,

705 00:35:14 Yeah, that's cool, Dad.
706 00:35:16 You gonna live in it?
707 00:35:17 Yeah, well, I could. I could.It's big enough.
708 00:35:19 But no, no, no. I got plans, Larry.Big plans.
709 00:35:22 Right.
710 00:35:25 Yeah, well,I've... heard 'em.
711 00:35:29 All of 'em.
712 00:35:31 Good night, kiddo.
713 00:35:32 Good night, Dad.
714 00:35:49 Priscilla!
715 00:35:52 Honey!
716 00:35:54 Honey!
717 00:35:56 Honey, come on.
718 00:35:58 Not even a fresh pairof underpants?
719 00:36:01 Toothbrush?
720 00:36:05 Can't we just talk about this?
721 00:36:12 You know... Oh.
722 00:36:17 Oh.
723 00:36:21 Thank you!
724 00:36:29 My name is Bobbyand I am an addict.
725 00:36:31 Hi, Bobby.
726 00:36:33 At leastthat's what Priscilla says.
727 00:36:35 She's gonna leave meunless I quit gambling.
728 00:36:40 Puzzles me, though,that word: "Gambling."
729 00:36:44 Whenever Priscilla gets a carout of the garage,
730 00:36:46 she's gambling big time.
731 00:36:47 Never checks the mirror.Sticks it in reverse.
732 00:36:50 Puts her foot down,right out onto the highway.
733 00:36:52 Jeez Louise, that's gambling!
734 00:36:54 But here I am,Gamblers Anonymous.
735 00:36:58 And your point is what, Bobby?
736 00:37:00 My point is this:Life's a gamble, right?
737 00:37:03 That's the thrill of it!
738 00:37:05 You know,you folks aren't here
739 00:37:06 because you're gamblers.
740 00:37:08 You are here becauseyou are terrible gamblers.
741 00:37:11 Well, let's...
742 00:37:13 That's the problem. You lose,and that's why you're here.
743 00:37:16 Okay, Bobby...
744 00:37:17 I've been looking at youguys yammering on
745 00:37:18 about all of your stuff and...
746 00:37:20 ..."Oh, woe is me"and "This is terrible."
747 00:37:23 But you knowwhat the problem is?
748 00:37:24 The problem isyou don't have a "thing."
749 00:37:26 - Can we just...- They don't have a thing.
750 00:37:28 They need an edge.You need an angle,
751 00:37:30 an inside track, something...
752 00:37:31 ...that's gonna turn you frombeing a gambler to a hustler.
753 00:37:34 All right, Bobby, thank you.
754 00:37:35 From a loser to a winner.
755 00:37:36 Why should we give upthe one thing in life
756 00:37:39 that we really love?
757 00:37:40 These folks don't need to stopwhat they're doing,
758 00:37:42 they just needto get better at it.
759 00:37:44 - Okay, Bobby, please.- Who's dealing? Who's in?
760 00:37:47 Huh?
761 00:37:50 I'm heartbroken.
762 00:37:51 I don't know whyshe won't meet me halfway.
763 00:37:53 I mean, is that toounreasonable to ask?
764 00:37:56 Have you consideredyou might be
765 00:37:57 coming at this fromthe wrong angle?
766 00:37:59 Every angle, Doc. I have triedevery angle, believe me.
767 00:38:02 I know we've discussedthis before.
768 00:38:04 Oh, I don't know.
769 00:38:06 You're an alpha male.She's an alpha female.
770 00:38:09 Maybe you haveto face the fact
771 00:38:10 that she's just notthe right woman for you.
772 00:38:12 Nah, I understandwhat you're saying...
773 00:38:14 ...but Billie Jean would make
774 00:38:15 the best matchby a million miles.
775 00:38:17 She is the leader ofthese women. The face.
776 00:38:22 At this rate, she's not evengonna be Number 1 next season.
777 00:38:25 She's not?
778 00:38:26 Nope. Margaret Court.
779 00:38:29 Really? The Arm'sgonna be Number 1?
780 00:38:33 Huh.
781 00:38:35 Stick or twist?
782 00:38:37 Twist.
783 00:38:40 Jack of Hearts. Too bad.
784 00:38:42 The point is, not only isMargaret gonna be Number 1...
785 00:38:45 ...but she's a differentkind of woman.
786 00:38:48 You think she'd play me?
787 00:38:49 She's a niceold-fashioned girl, Bobby.
788 00:38:51 She'll do asshe's damn well told.
789 00:38:58 I shouldn't have had so muchto drink last night.
790 00:39:00 It's inexcusable.
791 00:39:01 You had like half a drink.
792 00:39:03 Well... that's halfa drink too many.
793 00:39:05 It's the finals this week.
794 00:39:06 Where are my keys?
795 00:39:08 I think they're in your hand.
796 00:39:10 Thank you. Okay.
797 00:39:13 You should leave now.
798 00:39:14 Then I'll followin about five minutes.
799 00:39:16 All right.
800 00:39:17 Or actually that willseem suspicious.
801 00:39:18 Maybe you shouldjust stay here.
802 00:39:20 Okay.
803 00:39:23 You saidyou'd give me a ride.
804 00:39:26 Right. Right.
805 00:39:28 Right on. Okay.
806 00:39:30 Ready to go?Got everything?
807 00:39:31 Yeah.
808 00:39:32 Sorry about that.I'm just a little...
809 00:39:42 Be carefulwith that mannequin, Henry.
810 00:39:44 Of course, Ted.
811 00:39:49 Well, look what we have here.
812 00:39:51 Late!
813 00:39:52 And a little deshabille,wouldn't you say?
814 00:39:54 I would, Henry.I most definitely would.
815 00:39:57 And whatdo you think Larry would say?
816 00:39:59 He must know.
817 00:40:02 Well, there's knowing...
818 00:40:03 ...and there's knowing.
819 00:40:05 Nobody later than four.
820 00:40:06 Rosie? Where's Rosie?
821 00:40:08 I'm here.
822 00:40:10 No morespeeding tickets, okay?
823 00:40:12 This is tennis, not NASCAR.
824 00:40:14 And girls, I am begging you,for God's sake...

826 00:40:18 They've been great to us,
827 00:40:20 and we need themto renew our contract.
828 00:40:22 And I like it.I mean, look at me. Mmm.
829 00:40:26 Right?
830 00:40:28 You're late. And who's that?
831 00:40:31 This? My, uh, my friend.
832 00:40:34 Marilyn from the salonin L.A.
833 00:40:37 Wait, is she comingon tour with us?
834 00:40:38 That's a great idea.
835 00:40:40 Oh, no, she is not.
836 00:40:41 Please, Gladys. With all thephoto shoots we're doing,
837 00:40:43 we need a hairdresser.
838 00:40:44 That would be an Nfollowed by an O.
839 00:40:46 How's your spelling, Val?
840 00:40:47 No, no, no.She lives in L.A.
841 00:40:49 She worksat the salon in L.A.
842 00:40:51 She can't just comeon the road.
843 00:40:53 - Come on.- It's not... No.
844 00:40:55 They're not gonna miss mefor just a few days.
845 00:40:59 Yeah. I mean,we could all pay a little bit.
846 00:41:02 Yes, please, Gladys?Look at them!
847 00:41:03 They get in my eyes.I can't see the ball.
848 00:41:06 Please, Mom?
849 00:41:07 Please, I've had no timeto get these bangs done.
850 00:41:09 It's a great idea, Mom.
851 00:41:10 Imagine havingyour own stylist.
852 00:41:12 Just for a little while.
853 00:41:13 Can you do anythingwith this?
854 00:41:16 Of course! Yeah.
855 00:41:18 Ugh. Get in the car.
856 00:41:24 Is this okay?
857 00:41:26 Yeah. Yeah.Yeah, it's good.
858 00:41:52 Hello.
859 00:41:53 You do know what she is,don't you? That...
860 00:41:56 ...woman with Billie Jean?
861 00:41:59 Hairdresser?
862 00:42:01 I think it's her lover.
863 00:42:04 That girl?
864 00:42:06 And Billie Jean?
865 00:42:09 She's married.
866 00:42:11 They usually are.
867 00:42:13 That's what happens on anall-women circuit, Barry.
868 00:42:16 Licentiousness. Immorality.
869 00:42:20 Sin.
870 00:42:21 Really? Because she shouldn'tbe allowed on tour.
871 00:42:24 On the contrary.
872 00:42:26 Well, isn't she ashamedof herself?
873 00:42:28 She is ashamed.That's exactly what she is.
874 00:42:31 And her game'sgonna fall to pieces.
875 00:42:53 What happened last nightcan't happen again.
876 00:42:58 We have to stopfooling around.
877 00:43:00 I wasn't fooling around.I was dead serious.
878 00:43:04 Listen.
879 00:43:05 Larry doesn't evencome on tour with me,
880 00:43:07 because I can't havethe distraction.
881 00:43:09 I have to focus on my gamea hundred percent.
882 00:43:12 I promise not to distract you.
883 00:43:14 But you do distract me.
884 00:43:18 You distract mejust being here.
885 00:43:21 Who are you?
886 00:43:24 What are you doing with me?
887 00:43:27 I'm Marilyn Kathryn Barnett.
888 00:43:29 I'm good with my hands.
889 00:43:32 I don't like beingtold what to do.
890 00:43:35 And I just metthe most interesting person.
891 00:43:38 I'm not that interesting.I promise.
892 00:43:42 All I think about is tennis.
893 00:43:44 We don't have to do anythingyou don't want to do. Okay?
894 00:43:47 Friends?
895 00:43:49 - Okay.- Really good friends?
896 00:43:51 Okay.
897 00:43:55 I swear, I don't know what todo with myself around you.
898 00:43:59 Just drive.
899 00:45:02 I know. Shh.

901 00:45:13 Barry, how you doing? Been a long time.How are you?
902 00:45:17 What do you want?
903 00:45:19 Five minutes is all.
904 00:45:20 And if you don't likewhat I have to say,
905 00:45:21 you'll never hearfrom me again.
906 00:45:22 - Is that a promise?- Let him in.
907 00:45:24 Hey, Margaret,how are you?
908 00:45:26 This better be good.
909 00:45:27 No one's gettinga lot of sleep around here.
910 00:45:28 Oh, it's good! It's good.
911 00:45:30 - Who's this?- That's Daniel.
912 00:45:32 Daniel! Do you mind?
913 00:45:34 - May I?- Yeah.
914 00:45:35 Oh, Daniel, come here, you.Oh, you're so big!
915 00:45:39 Oh, Daniel, hello!
916 00:45:42 Bobby's gotcha.Bobby's gotcha.
917 00:45:45 Yeah, that's right.Oh, look at you.
918 00:45:48 Oh, Margaret, he is lovely.
919 00:45:51 Hi! Do any of the other girlshave kids?
920 00:45:54 Nope, just me.
921 00:45:55 Just you. Wow!
922 00:45:56 That has got to be tough.Tough on your mom.
923 00:46:00 Playing all dayand then taking care
924 00:46:02 of you at night. Oh, boy!
925 00:46:04 That's got to be...And all the traveling?
926 00:46:05 You know what?You need a nanny.
927 00:46:07 - A nanny.- You know how much they cost?
928 00:46:09 That's exactly why I'm here.
929 00:46:11 Because I think $35,000 wouldbuy you a lot of nanny.
930 00:46:13 What is your game,Bobby Riggs?
931 00:46:15 A match. You versus me.
932 00:46:16 Two out of three sets.$35,000.
933 00:46:21 Well... why me?
934 00:46:23 Why you?Because you're the best.
935 00:46:25 Billie Jean has beenon me to play her,
936 00:46:26 but you know what she's like.
937 00:46:28 Yeah.
938 00:46:29 And besides, I always sayif you're gonna play...
939 00:46:32 ...play the number one.
940 00:46:34 Billie Jean's number one.
941 00:46:36 Not if you beat her tomorrow.
942 00:46:38 Isn't that right?Is your mom gonna beat her?
943 00:46:43 40 down."Lumberjack's tool."
944 00:46:46 Four letters.

993 00:49:22 Okay.
994 00:50:05 The roads were clear,so I made good time.

1013 00:53:56 Really?
1014 00:53:59 There's lots to dofrom there and...
1015 00:54:02 ...I was thinking...
1016 00:54:04 ...I could give you some spaceand let you clear your head.
1017 00:54:09 Mmm-hmm.
1018 00:54:16 - Talk to you soon.- Yeah.
1019 00:54:25 Man.
1020 00:54:28 Damn.
1021 00:54:31 Hi.
1022 00:54:33 Hi.
1023 00:54:35 Have you got a cigarette?
1024 00:54:37 Nope.
1025 00:54:40 Billie Jean know you smoke?
1026 00:54:42 Uh... I guess not.
1027 00:54:45 She's not a fan.
1028 00:54:47 Well, I won't tellif you won't.
1029 00:54:51 Secrets, huh? There's a lotof those going around.
1030 00:54:56 Marilyn, you knowhow all this gets paid for?
1031 00:54:59 Yeah, the...
1032 00:55:00 ...the prize money,rackets, hotels, flights...
1033 00:55:05 ...the food, everything?
1034 00:55:07 Sponsorship.
1035 00:55:08 And with sponsorship, thatwould go away in a heartbeat
1036 00:55:10 if certain thingswere to be made public.
1037 00:55:15 I only have Billie Jean'sbest interests at heart.
1038 00:55:19 Look.
1039 00:55:21 You seem likea sweet girl and...
1040 00:55:22 Don't condescend to me.
1041 00:55:25 Please.
1042 00:55:26 You know,I'm not the competition.
1043 00:55:29 I'm just her husband,and you're...
1044 00:55:33 ...you're just a phase.
1045 00:55:36 We're both just sideshows.
1046 00:55:39 Tennis is her true love.
1047 00:55:41 And if you get between herand the game, you'll be gone.
1048 00:56:07 Met Bobby Riggs last night.
1049 00:56:10 Funny man.
1050 00:56:11 Tell me you didn't.
1051 00:56:13 Didn't what?
1052 00:56:16 He just wants to playan exhibition match is all.
1053 00:56:19 Now that I'm officiallynumber one.
1054 00:56:21 It's not a tennis match,Margaret. You do know that.
1055 00:56:25 What do you mean?
1056 00:56:26 He tried that exhibitionmatch line on me.
1057 00:56:29 Oh. And I supposeyou turned him down?
1058 00:56:32 Are you kidding me?
1059 00:56:34 You think I want to jointhe Bobby Riggs circus?
1060 00:56:36 He wants to make himself lookgreat and women look stupid.
1061 00:56:39 It's not a match.It's a show.
1062 00:56:42 I can understand why you mightnot want to play him, but...
1063 00:56:46 ...I've got nothing to hide.
1064 00:57:01 Mind those seamswhen taking that off.
1065 00:57:03 She's gonna play Bobby Riggs.
1066 00:57:05 The Arm versus The Mouth.I know where my money's going.
1067 00:57:09 What if she loses, Ted?What if she blows it?
1068 00:57:13 He's never gonna let it go.
1069 00:57:15 He's gonna make women's tennislook like a laughingstock.
1070 00:57:17 Calm yourself,Madame Superstar.
1071 00:57:20 Margaret is playingbetter than ever,
1072 00:57:22 and I don't needto remind you.
1073 00:57:24 And strictly entre nous...
1074 00:57:27 ...we've had to make someadjustments in the bicep area.
1075 00:57:30 Haven't we, Henry?
1076 00:57:31 About an inch and a half.
1077 00:57:35 I'm just gladyou're not playing him.
1078 00:57:36 Not a chance.
1079 00:57:41 Best be careful.
1080 00:57:43 What do you mean?
1081 00:57:46 The world isn't alwaysa forgiving place, my dear.
1082 00:57:54 How are you so freewith yourself?
1083 00:57:58 Seems like you just dowhatever you want.
1084 00:58:00 I don't do whatever I want.
1085 00:58:03 I pay taxes,visit the dentist.
1086 00:58:06 You know what I mean.
1087 00:58:09 I'm one of eight kids.
1088 00:58:12 So...
1089 00:58:13 ...no one noticed what I did.
1090 00:58:16 Which is probablyfor the best,
1091 00:58:17 because I would've shockedthe hell out of all of 'em.
1092 00:58:24 I don't know.
1093 00:58:27 I live... a private life...
1094 00:58:31 ...and...
1095 00:58:32 ...I guess I never think thatpeople will care what I do.
1096 00:58:42 God, I think everyonecares what I do.
1097 00:58:47 I'm gonna let them all down.
1098 00:58:51 When I was a kid,I played at this tennis club.
1099 00:58:57 I was...
1100 00:58:59 ...twelve.
1101 00:59:02 It was team photo time,which is a very big deal.
1102 00:59:07 And my mom made me these...
1103 00:59:10 ...white tennis shorts,
1104 00:59:11 because we couldn't afforda tennis dress.
1105 00:59:14 And...
1106 00:59:16 ...the man that ran it,
1107 00:59:18 we were all lined upto take the photo
1108 00:59:19 and he pointed at meand he said...
1109 00:59:21 ..."That little girlcannot be in the photo...
1110 00:59:24 ..."because she's notwearing a tennis dress."
1111 00:59:27 That must've crushed you.
1112 00:59:29 No.
1113 00:59:31 I just thought...
1114 00:59:33 ...that does it.
1115 00:59:37 I'm gonna be the best.
1116 00:59:40 That way I can really...change things.
1117 00:59:45 That way I have a voice.
1118 00:59:50 You have a voice.
1119 01:00:10 - Dad?- Larry!
1120 01:00:12 Sorry I can't stay long.I'm training.
1121 01:00:15 What the hell are you wearing?
1122 01:00:16 Ah. It's a sauna suit.
1123 01:00:18 It's killing me,but every time I breathe,
1124 01:00:20 I lose a pound.
1125 01:00:21 You hear the news?Bobby's back!
1126 01:00:23 Yeah, yeah, I heard.
1127 01:00:24 You heard, huh?Isn't it great?
1128 01:00:26 Is it really happening?
1129 01:00:27 Oh, it's happening.It is happening! Say...
1130 01:00:30 - You want to help?- What with?
1131 01:00:32 What with?With training, with support.

1138 01:00:49 - You think you can beat her?- Oh.
1139 01:00:51 This Margaret thingis just the beginning.
1140 01:00:54 It's gonna be huge.
1141 01:01:03 Three-time Wimbledon Champion,
1142 01:01:04 four times Women'sSingle Champion
1143 01:01:07 in the United States...
1144 01:01:09 ...winner of the Grand Slamof tennis,
1145 01:01:10 and current leadingmoney winner
1146 01:01:12 of the Women's Pro Tour.
1147 01:01:13 From Australia,meet Margaret Court.
1148 01:01:17 Her opponent...
1149 01:01:18 ...twice the United StatesSingles Champion,
1150 01:01:20 also a winner at Wimbledon.
1151 01:01:22 A man who in 1967was enshrined
1152 01:01:24 into the Tennis Hall of Fame.
1153 01:01:26 Colorful and controversialBobby Riggs.
1154 01:01:30 Who's your money on, Jack?Mankind or womankind?
1155 01:01:33 Bobby Riggs,without a doubt.
1156 01:01:35 Margaret Courtis a great tennis player,
1157 01:01:37 there's no mistakeabout that, but the...
1158 01:01:39 ...thing about womenis that they find it hard
1159 01:01:42 to consistentlyhandle the pressure.
1160 01:01:44 Some would saythey're not built for it.
1161 01:01:56 Excuse me!
1162 01:01:57 It's started already!
1163 01:01:59 Virginia Slims coming through!
1164 01:02:00 Where are the TVs?
1165 01:02:02 Quickly! Come on, Henry.
1166 01:02:05 We don't want to miss this.
1167 01:02:06 Everybody, shut up!
1168 01:02:08 That's the lastof our laundry quarters.
1169 01:02:11 It's on what channel?
1170 01:02:13 Can we havesome quiet here?
1171 01:02:14 - Please?- Where, on four?
1172 01:02:16 Yeah, it's four.
1173 01:02:17 Oh! There we are.
1174 01:02:18 Oh, my God.This is big.
1175 01:02:20 Of courseit's big. It's Bobby.
1176 01:02:22 The one thing that mancan do is hustle.
1177 01:02:23 I'll say.
1178 01:02:24 Bobby Riggsis two games away
1179 01:02:26 from winning this first set.
1180 01:02:28 Rather easily,I might add.
1181 01:02:29 Oh, my God.
1182 01:02:31 Margaret may notrealize what she's up against.
1183 01:02:33 I think we should have beenthere to support her.
1184 01:02:35 You havea tournament to play.
1185 01:02:37 I own you, Peaches,don't forget that.
1186 01:02:40 What a dreadful choiceof blue!
1187 01:02:44 Oh, God.
1188 01:02:45 If she doesn'tstart attacking the ball,
1189 01:02:47 she's gonnafall into his trap.
1190 01:02:48 She looks spooked.
1191 01:02:49 Do we like the dress?
1192 01:02:52 It's one of Ted's.Are we allowed not to?
1193 01:02:54 Right behind you, darling.
1194 01:02:55 We love the dress!
1195 01:02:57 Thank you.
1196 01:02:58 I'm just hoping that Margaret
1197 01:02:59 will really starthitting the ball
1198 01:03:00 and follow her serveto the net.
1199 01:03:03 I don't see howshe can win staying back.
1200 01:03:05 It looks likeBobby's just toying with her.
1201 01:03:07 That's gonna havea demoralizing
1202 01:03:09 effect on Margaret
1203 01:03:10 if she thinkshe's just horsing around.
1204 01:03:11 - Oh, dear.- Let's face it.
1205 01:03:13 She just can't handleBobby's game.
1206 01:03:18 Come on!
1207 01:03:22 Nice one.
1208 01:03:24 Bravo!
1209 01:03:27 The Arm'll be fine.
1210 01:03:29 She could squeezethe life out of that
1211 01:03:30 little twerp with onetweak of her bicep.
1212 01:03:36 40-love.
1213 01:03:37 No, Margaret.
1214 01:03:38 Wake up, Margaret!
1215 01:03:39 I'm not liking this.
1216 01:03:41 Gladys, I think I'm gonnaneed a cigarette.
1217 01:03:43 Finally,one of my girls smokes!
1218 01:03:46 Game to Mr. Riggs.
1219 01:03:48 Mr. Riggs leadsone set to nothing.
1220 01:03:49 There's not a single thing
1221 01:03:50 I don't hate aboutBobby Riggs,
1222 01:03:52 not a single thing.
1223 01:03:54 Bobby Riggshere in the second set.
1224 01:03:56 Riggs does it again.
1225 01:03:58 Bobby's unstoppable today.
1226 01:03:59 Bobby Riggs.
1227 01:04:01 Again, Bobby Riggs.
1228 01:04:03 Margaret seems tobe off her game.
1229 01:04:05 I'll say!
1230 01:04:06 40-love. Beautiful.
1231 01:04:08 This is awful.
1232 01:04:09 Game to Mr. Riggs.
1233 01:04:10 Really terrible.
1234 01:04:12 Again, Bobby Riggs.
1235 01:04:13 Let's getanother cocktail, Henry.
1236 01:04:15 Well, as I said...
1237 01:04:17 ...it's not that womencan't play tennis,
1238 01:04:18 it's just that they can'tdeal with the pressure.
1239 01:04:22 Perhaps this will finally puta stop to women players
1240 01:04:25 demanding the same prizemoney as men.
1241 01:04:27 As we've seen today,they're simply...
1242 01:04:30 not in the same league.
1243 01:04:31 Let's face it, in business,
1244 01:04:33 politics, sports,you name it...
1245 01:04:35 ...whatever they liketo think,
1246 01:04:37 at the very topit's a man's game.
1247 01:04:38 I can't believe this.
1248 01:04:42 I know what'll cheer her up.
1249 01:04:45 - I'll be right back.- Okay, darling.
1250 01:04:46 We're at match point here.
1251 01:05:02 There it is.Bobby Riggs wins 6-2, 6-1.
1252 01:05:06 Unbelievable.
1253 01:05:08 A rather easy triumph against
1254 01:05:10 motherhoodand women's liberation.
1255 01:05:14 That was a massacre.
1256 01:05:16 Congratulations, Bobby.
1257 01:05:17 Well, thank you very much.
1258 01:05:18 This is my son, Larry.
1259 01:05:20 Lousy tennis player,great guy.
1260 01:05:22 So, now officially Bobby Riggs
1261 01:05:24 is the number oneladies player in the world...
1262 01:05:26 ...and any ladies out there
1263 01:05:27 want to challengefor the crown,
1264 01:05:28 you know where to find me.
1265 01:05:30 And since I have justproven here today,
1266 01:05:31 beyond a shadow of a doubt...
1267 01:05:33 ...that men arethe superior animal,
1268 01:05:34 tell you want I'm gonna do:
1269 01:05:36 I am gonna triple the bet!
1270 01:05:37 $100,000 to any womanwho can beat Bobby Riggs.
1271 01:05:40 The question I ask myself is,is she out there,
1272 01:05:43 and does she have the nerve?
1273 01:05:53 What got into her?
1274 01:05:54 Fate, sweetie.
1275 01:05:56 Coming at herlike a runaway train.
1276 01:06:02 Oh... darling.
1277 01:06:08 And in today's much publicized
1278 01:06:10 tennis face-off between...
1279 01:06:12 ...Senior Pro Bobby Riggs
1280 01:06:13 and Woman's No. 1Margaret Court...
1281 01:06:15 ...the self-styled"male chauvinist pig"
1282 01:06:17 beat Mrs. Courtin straight sets, 6-2, 6-1...
1283 01:06:20 ...in what the presshas dubbed
1284 01:06:22 "The Mother's Day Massac..."
1285 01:06:23 Oh, for goodness sakes.It was just a tennis match.
1286 01:06:28 The Women's No. 1can't beat a 55-year-old.
1287 01:06:31 Are you kidding me?
1288 01:06:33 He's backed meinto a corner now.
1289 01:06:35 Then don't play him.
1290 01:06:36 Who else is gonnabeat him, Marilyn?
1291 01:06:38 I don't have a choice.
1292 01:06:40 No, you always have a choice.
1293 01:06:42 You don't get it.
1294 01:06:45 You don't get it.
1295 01:06:51 I don't know how to help you.
1296 01:06:57 Do you even want me here?
1297 01:07:03 I don't know. I'm sorry.I need to think.
1298 01:08:21 Hello?
1299 01:08:22 Larry.
1300 01:08:24 Oh. I was wonderingwhen you were gonna call.
1301 01:08:30 It was a travesty.
1302 01:08:33 So?
1303 01:08:35 Call the bozo.
1304 01:08:37 Tell him it's on.
1305 01:08:40 But nothing gets agreed on
1306 01:08:42 without my approval,all right?
1307 01:08:43 Venue, date,TV rights, everything.
1308 01:08:48 What balls we use.
1309 01:08:50 I know Bobby. He'll be makingdeals on his deals by now.
1310 01:08:53 I'll call him first thingin the morning.
1311 01:08:55 No, now.He calls me at midnight.
1312 01:08:59 If we're gonna go, let's go.
1313 01:09:03 Okay.
1314 01:09:10 You know something?
1315 01:09:12 This can be great.
1316 01:09:14 Really, really great.
1317 01:09:16 And not justfor women's tennis, you know?
1318 01:09:21 As long as I win.
1319 01:09:25 If there's one thingthat I know about you...
1320 01:09:28 ...it's that this is one matchyou are gonna win.
1321 01:09:35 You're a good man, Larry.
1322 01:09:38 You're a good woman.
1323 01:09:42 I wish that were true.
1324 01:09:45 Let's focus on the match.Everything else can wait.
1325 01:09:53 Good night.

1346 01:11:20 So after Billie Jean,there's an offer on the table
1347 01:11:22 for a million dollarsto play Chrissie Evert.

1360 01:12:10 What did he say?
1361 01:12:11 Nothing.He just gave me 30 bucks.
1362 01:12:16 The money that he owed you
1363 01:12:17 from your last gameof blackjack.
1364 01:12:21 He was a terrible player.
1365 01:12:23 Christ.
1366 01:12:28 Bobby, I love you.
1367 01:12:31 Well, I love you, too.

1369 01:12:37 I love your crazy ideasand all your schemes.
1370 01:12:40 And the way you walk intoa room and you fill it up.
1371 01:12:45 I love the wayyou make me feel.
1372 01:12:47 I miss that a lot.
1373 01:12:50 But...
1374 01:12:52 ...I need a husband.
1375 01:12:54 I need someonewho is steady.
1376 01:12:57 Someone that I can rely on.
1377 01:13:00 And that is not you.
1378 01:13:02 And that's okay.
1379 01:13:05 It is more than okay.
1380 01:13:06 It is wonderful,because that...
1381 01:13:09 ...is who you are.
1382 01:13:12 I just can't bewith that person anymore.
1383 01:13:16 I just can't.
1384 01:13:19 I'm so sorry.

1407 01:14:45 Miss King saidshe will not play
1408 01:14:47 for the money but,in her words...
1409 01:14:48 ..."to put women's tennis
1410 01:14:50 "and women's lib backwhere it belongs."
1411 01:14:53 Riggs said he issuedthe challenge because...
1412 01:14:56 ..."I want to provethat women are lousy
1413 01:14:57 "and they don't belongon the same court as a man."
1414 01:15:00 Wow.
1415 01:15:04 - Put her there.- All right, great.
1416 01:15:09 Now, don't get me wrong,I love women...
1417 01:15:12 In the bedroomand in the kitchen.
1418 01:15:14 But these days,they want to be everywhere!
1419 01:15:15 They want to bedoing everything!
1420 01:15:17 Where is it gonna end?
1421 01:15:19 Pretty soon us fellas won't beable to go to a ballgame,
1422 01:15:22 we won't be ableto go fishing.
1423 01:15:23 We won't be able to stopand have a drink after work.
1424 01:15:26 And that's what this wholewomen's lib thing is about.
1425 01:15:28 And it's got to stop.
1426 01:15:29 And Bobby Riggsis the man to stop it.
1427 01:15:31 Ladies and gentlemen,this is Custer's Last Stand.
1428 01:15:34 This is the Lobberversus the Libber!
1429 01:15:39 Take that. Right?
1430 01:15:42 Keep talking, Bobby.
1431 01:15:44 The more nonsense you spout,
1432 01:15:45 the worse it will bewhen you lose.
1433 01:15:47 Well, I'm the ladiesnumber one,
1434 01:15:49 I'm the champ.Why would I lose?
1435 01:15:51 Because dinosaurscan't play tennis.
1436 01:15:55 I'm gonna put the "show"back in "chauvinism."
1437 01:15:59 Gentlemen.
1438 01:16:02 What a beautiful dayto play tennis, huh?
1439 01:16:05 All right, right here.Right down the pike.

1444 01:16:19 I'm cooking! Am I cooking?
1445 01:16:22 Oh...
1446 01:16:25 Oh, there we go!
1447 01:16:27 Ah!
1448 01:16:28 All right, I got it.
1449 01:16:44 They walked right into it.I'm taking 'em all home!
1450 01:16:47 They're gonna do my laundry.
1451 01:16:50 You know what it's like?Being reincarnated.
1452 01:16:52 It's the greatest thingI've ever done.
1453 01:16:53 It's biggerthan winning Wimbledon,
1454 01:16:55 bigger than Forest Hills,bigger than the Pro Tour.
1455 01:16:57 High point of my career,maybe my life.
1456 01:16:59 Hey, sweetie,how about a cocktail?
1457 01:17:01 There we go.
1458 01:17:02 Oh, watch it!I almost took your arms off.
1459 01:17:10 I'm not sayingthat women
1460 01:17:11 don't belong on the court.
1461 01:17:12 I mean, heck, who would pickup the balls otherwise?
1462 01:17:16 But all of this shoutingand yammering about equality.
1463 01:17:20 Equality this, equality that.
1464 01:17:22 Hey, how about some equalityfor Bobby Riggs?
1465 01:17:25 This is my thirdnude shoot today.
1466 01:17:28 I'm this old guy,trying to make ends meet
1467 01:17:31 on the senior circuit,getting paid peanuts.
1468 01:17:33 But if I can beat the ladies
1469 01:17:35 and get equal prize money,thank you very much...
1470 01:17:37 ...well, then all the girlscan just head back
1471 01:17:39 in the kitchenwhere they belong.
1472 01:17:42 Look, he can talkall he likes.
1473 01:17:43 That's one of the few thingshe's good at.
1474 01:17:45 But the only thing thatmatters is who wins the match.
1475 01:18:08 Bobby!
1476 01:18:11 Bobby, let's playsome tennis, man!
1477 01:18:13 Damn it, Dad.
1478 01:18:27 Thank you.
1479 01:18:30 - Dad.- Hey, kiddo!
1480 01:18:33 I thought we were practicing.
1481 01:18:34 You know whatI have to say to that?
1482 01:18:36 Margaret Court.6-2, 6-1.
1483 01:18:38 I don't need to practice,I got a secret weapon.
1484 01:18:41 Rheo Blair, I'd like youto meet the most
1485 01:18:42 important person in my life...apart from me.
1486 01:18:45 My son, Larry.
1487 01:18:47 You tell him, Rheo.
1488 01:18:48 Two words, Larry:Super Nutrition.
1489 01:18:50 Super Nutrition!
1490 01:18:53 You taking all of these?
1491 01:18:54 Four hundred a day!
1492 01:18:55 You're kidding.
1493 01:18:56 Yeah, I'm rattlingaround a little bit,
1494 01:18:58 but you know what?I feel better than ever.
1495 01:19:00 It's the A to Zof amino acids.
1496 01:19:02 Vitamins, protein pills,some fat busters,
1497 01:19:06 and some of Rheo's Specials.
1498 01:19:08 What's in those?
1499 01:19:11 Specialness.
1500 01:19:14 Specialness!
1501 01:19:15 Who needs to train?I'm gonna live forever.
1502 01:19:18 Yeah, but this,I don't know...
1503 01:19:20 Oh, would you just relax?Come on.
1504 01:19:24 You sawwhat I did to Margaret,
1505 01:19:26 and she beat Billie Jean.
1506 01:19:33 One down!
1507 01:19:36 What's next?
1508 01:19:38 She played like an idiot.
1509 01:19:39 There's no comparison.Margaret folds.
1510 01:19:42 You know Billie.She loves pressure.
1511 01:19:44 Yeah, but her game'soff right now.
1512 01:19:47 It is. I mean,I hate to say it,
1513 01:19:49 but my money's on Bobby.
1514 01:19:50 Yep. Mine, too.
1515 01:19:53 Money that you havebecause of Billie Jean.
1516 01:19:55 It's not personal.I don't want him to win.
1517 01:19:57 I just think he will.
1518 01:20:10 I think thatif I had to bet money,
1519 01:20:12 I would bet on Bobby Riggs.
1520 01:20:13 Well, my money'son Bobby Riggs.
1521 01:20:15 I've played with him.
1522 01:20:17 The man hastremendous experience...
1523 01:20:18 ...and the male muscleis always a little
1524 01:20:20 stronger thanthe female muscle.
1525 01:20:22 Billie Jean King.
1526 01:20:24 You're gonna want to see this.
1527 01:20:25 What? Am I on?
1528 01:20:27 You got to check this out.
1529 01:20:28 Billie Jean Kingis an excellent player.
1530 01:20:30 I think that besides that,she's a beautiful lady.
1531 01:20:33 And I like beautiful ladies.
1532 01:20:35 I saw Bobby beat Margaret,
1533 01:20:37 and I think thathe's a really tough player.
1534 01:20:39 So I'd have to give himthe edge over Billie Jean.
1535 01:20:41 I like it.
1536 01:20:42 The breakingnews from Forest Hills
1537 01:20:44 is that Billie Jean King...
1538 01:20:45 ...has defaultedin her third-round match
1539 01:20:46 against Julie Heldman.
1540 01:20:48 Looking tired and dispirited,
1541 01:20:50 Mrs. King left the courtafter only one set.
1542 01:20:52 Speculation mountsthat pressure from
1543 01:20:54 the upcoming matchagainst Bobby Riggs...
1544 01:20:55 ...is taking its toll.
1545 01:20:57 Taking its toll, baby!I knew it!
1546 01:21:00 She's crumbling, and I'mhanging out by the pool!
1547 01:21:04 Are you scamming meto get more practice time?
1548 01:21:10 I'm sick.
1549 01:21:11 Let me see that.
1550 01:21:18 Well, you're not dying.
1551 01:21:19 Try to sound pleased.
1552 01:21:21 Look, I lovethe other girls, but...
1553 01:21:24 ...you're the draw.You're my giant.
1554 01:21:26 I'm a giant with the flu.I don't know what to say.
1555 01:21:34 Take two weeks off!
1556 01:21:35 Go somewhere,do what you need to do, okay?
1557 01:21:38 But you have a tournament
1558 01:21:39 the day after thatmatch with Riggs...
1559 01:21:40 ...and, win or lose,you're gonna be there.
1560 01:21:43 Okay, thank you.
1561 01:21:44 And just so you know,if you lose,
1562 01:21:46 I will never forgive you.
1563 01:21:55 Oh, Jesus, Larry.
1564 01:21:57 It's too much. No wondermy body's falling apart.
1565 01:22:10 Okay, if there's somebodythat you need...
1566 01:22:13 ...that you want meto call...
1567 01:22:16 ...I can call her.
1568 01:22:21 No, there's nobody.
1569 01:22:25 And if you mistakehim for a fool,
1570 01:22:27 you may end uplooking like one yourself.
1571 01:22:29 Whether he's wearing a dress,playing with an umbrella...
1572 01:22:32 ...or sporting this season's
1573 01:22:33 must-have accessory,a flock of sheep...
1574 01:22:36 ...Bobby has notlost a match yet.
1575 01:22:38 And as the Bobby Riggs circusmoves on to the next town...
1576 01:22:41 ...people are beginningto wonder
1577 01:22:42 what has happenedto the opposition.
1578 01:22:44 Has she choked?Has she fled the country?
1579 01:22:47 After withdrawing from ForestHills with a virus, nobody...
1580 01:22:51 ...has seen even the ghostof Billie Jean King.
1581 01:22:58 Hey! Where are you going?
1582 01:23:00 Where is she going?
1583 01:23:03 My guess?
1584 01:23:06 Houston.
1585 01:23:12 She does knowwhat time this is...
1586 01:23:13 Yes, I told you.
1587 01:23:16 Has she pulled out?
1588 01:23:17 She was ill.
1589 01:23:23 Sorry I'm late, gentlemen.
1590 01:23:25 Hey, honey, how's the flu?
1591 01:23:27 - Flu?- I heard you were ill.
1592 01:23:28 No. Don't believe everythingyou read in the papers, Bobby.
1593 01:23:31 But thank you for the flowers.I gave 'em to Rosie.
1594 01:23:34 And I put 'emin the trash.
1595 01:23:35 Oh.
1596 01:23:37 Billie Jean.
1597 01:23:39 Jack.
1598 01:23:42 What are you doing here?
1599 01:23:44 Jack's my choiceof commentator for ABC.
1600 01:23:47 Jack?
1601 01:23:49 Oh, that won't work.
1602 01:23:50 Now, Billie Jean,no one's complaining
1603 01:23:52 about Rosie doingthe play-by-play.
1604 01:23:54 Well, Rosie hasn't continually
1605 01:23:55 tried to dismantlewomen's tennis.
1606 01:23:58 You overstatemy influence, Billie Jean.
1607 01:24:01 You blackballed usfrom the USLTA, Jack.
1608 01:24:04 We did you a favor.Lousy organization.
1609 01:24:06 Jack's my choice.
1610 01:24:07 Sure make fora punchy commentator.
1611 01:24:14 I won't play.
1612 01:24:16 Look, I just spent $750,000on this event.
1613 01:24:19 You can't pull outthe day before the match!
1614 01:24:22 Says who?
1615 01:24:24 Say...
1616 01:24:26 ...I wonder if we could...
1617 01:24:28 ...have a word,just the two of us.
1618 01:24:43 Billie Jean...
1619 01:24:44 ...I know we've hadour differences,
1620 01:24:46 but that's behind us.
1621 01:24:49 This is between youand Bobby now.
1622 01:24:51 Bobby?
1623 01:24:53 Oh, Bobby's a clown.
1624 01:24:55 This whole thing'san act for him, Jack.
1625 01:24:57 You know that.
1626 01:24:59 With you it's different.It's for real.
1627 01:25:02 What do you mean?
1628 01:25:06 I don't thinkyou respect women.
1629 01:25:10 I've been happily marriedfor 32 years.
1630 01:25:12 No, I think you like us inthe kitchen and the bedroom.
1631 01:25:15 I think you are a gentleman,and I mean that.
1632 01:25:18 Thank you.I'll take my compliments
1633 01:25:20 where I can from you.
1634 01:25:21 It's when we dareto want a little bit more.
1635 01:25:25 Just a little bitof what you've got.
1636 01:25:29 That's what you can't stand.
1637 01:25:31 Oh. Really?
1638 01:25:32 Yeah.
1639 01:25:34 And to have you tellingthe American public
1640 01:25:35 what to readinto every serve?
1641 01:25:38 Every point?
1642 01:25:42 I'm sorry, Jack.
1643 01:25:43 If you're commentating,I'm not playing.
1644 01:25:45 How do you thinkthat's gonna make
1645 01:25:46 the great BillieJean King look?
1646 01:25:48 Backing outat the last minute
1647 01:25:49 just because she didn'tlike the commentator?
1648 01:25:52 I think it's prettysimilar to how
1649 01:25:53 it'll make the greatJack Kramer look.
1650 01:25:56 Shutting the whole thing down
1651 01:25:57 because he didn'tget to participate.
1652 01:26:01 No. That's not gonna happen.
1653 01:26:04 You're not gonna do this.
1654 01:26:05 This means too much to you.You and your Sisterhood.
1655 01:26:09 You'd never throw it
1656 01:26:10 over something like this.You won't.
1657 01:26:12 Do you remember the last timeyou thought I was bluffing?
1658 01:26:15 One dollar.
1659 01:26:22 You knowthe difference between
1660 01:26:23 a good player and a great?
1661 01:26:25 The great players never letemotion get in the way.
1662 01:26:29 It messes with their game.
1663 01:26:42 Sorry, Bobby.
1664 01:26:50 Any lastminute thoughts, Billie Jean?
1665 01:26:51 Are you going to win?
1666 01:26:53 Of course she's gonna win.
1667 01:26:54 Against an old guylike Bobby Riggs, sure.
1668 01:26:56 Let her play Rosewallor Nastase.
1669 01:26:59 Men are better.End of story.
1670 01:27:01 I'm not sayingwomen are better.
1671 01:27:03 I've never said that.
1672 01:27:04 I'm sayingwe deserve some respect.
1673 01:27:07 More than Bobby Riggsor you are giving us.
1674 01:27:09 Sir, do you have a daughter?
1675 01:27:11 Or a sister? You sure as heckhave a mother.
1676 01:27:14 Is your father betterthan your mother?
1677 01:27:15 Just because he's a man?Do you believe that?
1678 01:27:18 No.
1679 01:27:18 But that's whatyou're saying...
1680 01:27:20 whether you thinkyou are or not.
1681 01:27:21 If I beat Bobby Riggs,will you stop saying it?
1682 01:27:24 Okay.
1683 01:27:25 Sir, I'm gonnahold you to that.
1684 01:27:27 If I see you,I'm gonna hold you to that.

1732 01:30:22 Billie Jean, I'll be backto take you to the court.
1733 01:30:25 All right.
1734 01:30:29 - Hi.- Hi.
1735 01:30:34 Your hairdresser, huh?
1736 01:30:39 What was I supposed to say?

1744 01:31:00 Do you want me to hold itfrom the stick?
1745 01:31:02 - Uh...- Am I gonna hold it that way?
1746 01:31:04 That looks great.
1747 01:31:06 We're trying to preparefor the match.
1748 01:31:08 So the camera can see it.
1749 01:31:10 Yeah, up high.Beautiful.

1753 01:31:21 See you out there.Good work.
1754 01:31:24 Do it for the men, Bobby.
1755 01:31:26 Wow. You good?
1756 01:31:27 Yeah! I'm ready for battle.
1757 01:31:29 Stand by, Howard.We are live in five...
1758 01:31:32 ...four... three...
1759 01:31:38 The followingis an exclusive presentation
1760 01:31:41 of ABC Sports.
1761 01:31:42 Live from the Astrodomein Houston, Texas...
1762 01:31:46 ...the Tennis Battleof the Sexes,
1763 01:31:48 Billie Jean Kingvs. Bobby Riggs.
1764 01:31:51 What a scene it is!
1765 01:31:53 The Houston Astrodome...
1766 01:31:54 ...where up till nowthey've played
1767 01:31:56 almost every sportin the world except tennis.
1768 01:32:00 But in this panoramic scene,a happening.
1769 01:32:03 With the big band here,
1770 01:32:04 with dancing cheerleaders,and all of the rest.
1771 01:32:08 It's hard to believe,but probably
1772 01:32:10 more than 30,000 peopleare in this arena...
1773 01:32:13 ...for an all-time-recordtennis audience
1774 01:32:15 anywhere in the world.
1775 01:32:30 And zoom in on five.
1776 01:32:32 Is that a priest?
1777 01:32:33 Yeah. If Bobby wins,she takes the groom's surname.
1778 01:32:36 But if Billie Jean wins,the groom takes her name.
1779 01:32:38 Little flip-flop. Oh, boy.
1780 01:32:43 Where's Billie Jean?
1781 01:32:44 Can somebody...
1782 01:32:45 Does anybody knowwhere she is?
1783 01:32:47 What do you mean,you lost her?
1784 01:32:50 She's getting a trim.She'll be right out.
1785 01:32:53 Yeah, like a haircut.
1786 01:33:13 I missed you.
1787 01:33:18 I know.
1788 01:33:25 Uh, ten minutes to game time!
1789 01:33:32 Stay for the match?
1790 01:33:36 - Are you sure?- Yes.
1791 01:33:39 Please.
1792 01:33:44 There was, would you believe,a problem
1793 01:33:46 about one ofour announcers to be:
1794 01:33:48 Jack Kramer.The famed tennis promoter.
1795 01:33:50 The famed tennis playerof the past.
1796 01:33:53 We wanted Jack Kramer.We respected him.
1797 01:33:55 He would have beenon our telecast.
1798 01:33:57 Roll the Jack Kramer clip.
1799 01:33:59 Billie Jean's gonna love this!
1800 01:34:01 I want to makeone thing clear.
1801 01:34:03 When I realized thatI was perhaps a problem...
1802 01:34:06 ...I thought maybe Billie Jean
1803 01:34:07 would want to use meas an excuse...
1804 01:34:09 ...if she lostagainst Bobby Riggs.
1805 01:34:11 To ABC's credit...
1806 01:34:13 ...they said,"You call the shots, Jack,
1807 01:34:15 "we'll go along with you."
1808 01:34:17 But I'm withdrawingvoluntarily...
1809 01:34:19 ...and I'm wishing
1810 01:34:20 a hundred percent good luckto my pal, Bobby Riggs.
1811 01:34:23 Okay, Jack, you knowhow much we respect you.
1812 01:34:26 They are ready for youin the holding area.
1813 01:34:29 I'll walk youdown there.
1814 01:34:32 I think I'm gonna goon my own.
1815 01:34:35 - Okay?- Yeah.
1816 01:35:12 The packageis in the room.
1817 01:35:21 Billie! Billie Jean!
1818 01:35:24 This is for you.
1819 01:35:27 All right.
1820 01:35:29 Gentlemen, let's go.
1821 01:35:47 Ladies and gentlemen,
1822 01:35:49 the Battle of the Sexesis about to begin.
1823 01:35:52 Introducing six-timeWimbledon champion...
1824 01:35:54 ...four-time women's championof the United States...
1825 01:35:57 ...winner of the Grand Slamof women's tennis...
1826 01:36:00 Billie Jean King!
1827 01:36:31 There isan overwhelming sentiment
1828 01:36:33 for Billie Jean King.
1829 01:36:35 Very attractive young lady...
1830 01:36:37 ...and sometimesyou get the feeling
1831 01:36:39 that if she everlet her hair grow...
1832 01:36:41 ...and took her glasses off,
1833 01:36:42 you'd have somebody vyingfor a Hollywood screen test.
1834 01:36:46 - Oh! Here comes Bobby Riggs.- Ah.
1835 01:36:48 You see him nowin the picture.
1836 01:36:51 Ladies and gentlemen,
1837 01:36:52 please welcomeGrand Slam champion...
1838 01:36:54 ...and Tennis Hall of Famer,Bobby Riggs!
1839 01:36:59 A long-awaited match,
1840 01:37:01 hustled and promoted...
1841 01:37:02 ...ceaselessly and shrewdlyby Bobby Riggs.
1842 01:37:06 There's Bobby.
1843 01:37:07 The big act, the big bluster,the big noise.
1844 01:37:11 Now he's gotsteeper competition
1845 01:37:13 with Billie Jean King.
1846 01:37:15 This thing is nuts.
1847 01:37:18 All right, we're backon camera and this is our...
1848 01:37:21 ...female expert tonight.Recognize her?
1849 01:37:23 Little Rosie Casals.
1850 01:37:25 Now, you say Billie Jeanwill win in three sets?
1851 01:37:28 Yes, I definitely think so.
1852 01:37:30 I think she'sa better tennis player...
1853 01:37:31 ...and I think what happenedwith the Court and Riggs match
1854 01:37:34 will not happen tonight.
1855 01:37:35 Billie Jean will beat him,definitely.
1856 01:37:38 Well, I got thisbeautiful lollipop
1857 01:37:39 for Billie Jean.
1858 01:37:41 I figure she's gonna bea sucker for my lob.
1859 01:37:44 I got something for you too,Bobby, actually.
1860 01:37:46 It's the ultimate giftfor a male chauvinist.
1861 01:37:50 Ugh...
1862 01:37:52 There you go.
1863 01:37:54 Oh, that's okay,that's okay.
1864 01:37:56 Any last wordsbefore the match, Bobby?
1865 01:37:58 Well, this matchis for all the guys
1866 01:37:59 around the worldthat feel as I do...
1867 01:38:01 ...that the male is king,the male is supreme.
1868 01:38:04 Billie Jean?
1869 01:38:05 I'm done talking.Let's play.
1870 01:38:08 Oh!
1871 01:38:09 Ooh!
1872 01:38:45 They have started the match.
1873 01:38:48 Service, Billie Jean.
1874 01:38:54 Love-15.
1875 01:38:55 Bobby.
1876 01:38:57 - Make us some money.- That a boy.
1877 01:39:02 This match, of course,
1878 01:39:04 is going by satelliteall around the world.
1879 01:39:12 15-all.
1880 01:39:14 And you'll hear the crowdresponding all night
1881 01:39:16 to every pointwon by Billie Jean.
1882 01:39:32 Attagirl.
1883 01:39:34 Bobby's already starting.
1884 01:39:35 Shouted "Attagirl" right afterBillie hit the winner.
1885 01:39:38 When he starts losing,
1886 01:39:39 I don't thinkhe's gonna say "Attagirl".
1887 01:39:41 He's confident.
1888 01:39:43 Not everybodyis for Billie Jean.
1889 01:39:45 Some are for
1890 01:39:46 the self-proclaimedmale chauvinist.
1891 01:39:48 What he has to loseif he loses this match!
1892 01:39:51 He'll have to go back
1893 01:39:53 to cooking and doingthe housework.
1894 01:39:56 Game, Billie Jean King,
1895 01:39:58 and the crowd loves it.
1896 01:40:00 They're getting readyto exchange courts.
1897 01:40:03 Billie Jean leadsone game to love.
1898 01:40:08 Bobby, you got to takethat damn jacket off.
1899 01:40:11 They gave me twenty G's.I got to keep it on.
1900 01:40:13 I don't care,you've got to take it off.
1901 01:40:30 Nicely placed by Bobby Riggs.
1902 01:40:32 I think she's tootentative at the moment.
1903 01:40:34 That's really the problem.
1904 01:40:36 What is her overall strategy?
1905 01:40:38 You're so close to her.
1906 01:40:40 Well, psychologically
1907 01:40:41 she's a betterpressure player.
1908 01:40:42 Billie Jean's basicallylike another Bobby Riggs.
1909 01:40:45 She's a hustler.
1910 01:40:46 She can takethat type of pressure
1911 01:40:47 and give the same stuffback to him.
1912 01:40:49 Still no Riggs.
1913 01:40:50 Right.
1914 01:40:52 We're at 40-15.
1915 01:41:01 Fun to see the old manrun for that one.
1916 01:41:03 If Billie Jeancan keep Bobby running,
1917 01:41:06 I think she couldwear him down.
1918 01:41:09 Hence, the jacket begins to betaken off by Bobby Riggs...
1919 01:41:13 ...and maybe the braggadocioa little bit reduced.
1920 01:41:17 A concession to the factthat Riggs...
1921 01:41:19 ...perhaps knows he's runninginto firm competition.
1922 01:41:23 I think he's gonnastart taking
1923 01:41:25 some of the vitamin pills.
1924 01:41:26 He's gonna start needing them.
1925 01:41:36 Game point for Bobby.
1926 01:41:39 Rosie, she looks tense to me.
1927 01:41:40 She is tense.No doubt about that.
1928 01:41:42 This isa very important match.
1929 01:41:46 And Bobby Riggsbreaks through.
1930 01:41:50 The first perhapsturning point in...
1931 01:41:53 ...the first setof this match.
1932 01:41:55 Bobby Riggs leadingBillie Jean King.
1933 01:41:58 He had the pressure on him.
1934 01:42:00 He responded very well.
1935 01:42:02 And Billie Jeandid not respond well
1936 01:42:04 on that shot.Advantage to Bobby Riggs.
1937 01:42:07 Attaboy.
1938 01:42:20 Marvelous shot by Bobby...
1939 01:42:22 ...and a great quick swingby Billie Jean.
1940 01:42:26 Billie answering great.She did what she had to do...
1941 01:42:29 ...and she did ither way, Gene.
1942 01:42:35 And a great shotby Bobby Riggs.
1943 01:42:53 There it is.
1944 01:42:54 And the firstset goes to Billie Jean King.
1945 01:42:57 Point and set.
1946 01:42:59 The women in this arenaare standing
1947 01:43:01 and cheeringfor Billie Jean King.
1948 01:43:04 Bobby doesn'tlook very happy.
1949 01:43:06 He's sort of walkingwith his head down.
1950 01:43:09 I think he's gonna geta little strategy
1951 01:43:10 from his coach over there.
1952 01:43:13 They havea four-minute break, Howard.
1953 01:43:15 I supposewe all expected to have
1954 01:43:17 some high humorinvolved in it.
1955 01:43:19 Instead, it seemsto have become
1956 01:43:21 a very, very serious thing,because...
1957 01:43:23 ...the comedy has gone outof Bobby Riggs.
1958 01:43:30 The second game of the secondset has just begun...
1959 01:43:33 ...Bobby Riggs serving,
1960 01:43:34 having broken throughBillie Jean King...
1961 01:43:36 ...one game to nonein favor of Bobby Riggs.
1962 01:43:40 And Billie Jean is seekingto strike back.
1963 01:43:53 Billie Jean is killing him
1964 01:43:55 with that overhand smash,I'll tell you that.
1965 01:43:57 Bobby suddenly hasbecome an underdog, Howard.
1966 01:43:59 Yes, some ofthem are cheering for him.
1967 01:44:06 Beautiful.
1968 01:44:09 Billie Jean King...
1969 01:44:12 ...has won the second set,six games to three.
1970 01:44:15 She leads two sets to love...
1971 01:44:18 ...and it's so far a verygreat night for the ladies.
1972 01:44:22 Bobby Riggs is fightingfor his tennis life.
1973 01:44:24 She's filledwith confidence now.
1974 01:44:27 Great shot!
1975 01:44:28 Marvelous shot!
1976 01:44:30 Bobby trailsfour games to two.
1977 01:44:32 No question about it,Billie Jean has been
1978 01:44:35 the aggressor in this match.
1979 01:44:37 I think we're having
1980 01:44:38 a little problemwith his hand.
1981 01:44:40 He keeps pullingon his fingers,
1982 01:44:41 and to me that sayshe's getting a cramp.
1983 01:44:44 He's having the hand
1984 01:44:45 and the arm looked at.
1985 01:44:47 Is this an injury then?
1986 01:44:48 This is an injury.
1987 01:44:49 Five minutes delayfor an injury.
1988 01:44:52 I knew it would cometo this. I knew...
1989 01:44:54 ...Bobby would haveto come down to something.
1990 01:44:56 Like injuries.
1991 01:44:58 Let me say thisabout Bobby Riggs, Rosie.
1992 01:45:00 You've gotten inall your licks tonight
1993 01:45:03 at the guy, and that's fine.
1994 01:45:04 And he made a lot of noiseabout male chauvinism and...
1995 01:45:08 ...the women belongedin the kitchen,
1996 01:45:10 and all the rest.
1997 01:45:11 But he is 55,and he's some kind of guy.
1998 01:45:15 I agree.But I don't think
1999 01:45:16 he belongs on the court...
2000 01:45:18 ...with somebodyof Billie Jean's caliber.
2001 01:45:22 Well, the way it's proving
2002 01:45:23 out at the moment...
2003 01:45:24 ...turns outthat you are right,
2004 01:45:26 if it ends this way.
2005 01:45:30 Okay, Bobby's ready to serve,trailing in the third set.
2006 01:45:34 Here we go, Bobby,what do you say?
2007 01:45:39 Attaboy!
2008 01:45:41 15-love.
2009 01:45:42 One of the fans yelling,"Come on, Bobby baby!"
2010 01:45:47 Bobby wins that point...
2011 01:45:49 ...as he starts his fightto break through Billie Jean.
2012 01:45:52 Bobby Riggs fights backand breaks through!
2013 01:45:56 Whether he hadthe hand cramp
2014 01:45:58 earlier or not...
2015 01:45:59 ...what he obviouslywas trying to do
2016 01:46:01 was break up Billie Jean'sbrilliant momentum.
2017 01:46:03 Mmm-hmm. Great shot.
2018 01:46:06 Listen to that crowd!
2019 01:46:07 Now cheering for Riggs.
2020 01:46:08 Not bad for an old man.
2021 01:46:10 Bobby still hasthe break, Rosie.
2022 01:46:42 Marvelous pointwon by Billie Jean!
2023 01:46:47 I'll tell you, she's tough.
2024 01:46:49 Walking back, she's walking
2025 01:46:50 more like a malethan a female.
2026 01:46:58 - Out.- Out.
2027 01:47:01 Double fault.
2028 01:47:07 You're looking
2029 01:47:08 at an apparently tiredBobby Riggs.
2030 01:47:10 Look at how Billie Jean King
2031 01:47:12 has been running himover the court.
2032 01:47:14 And that's beenher principal tactic,
2033 01:47:16 to wear him down.
2034 01:47:22 Yes!
2035 01:47:24 - Beautiful!- Great shot.
2036 01:47:25 And, wham,
2037 01:47:26 that's the kind of tenniswe've had...
2038 01:47:30 Right on, baby!
2039 01:47:31 She puts it away.
2040 01:47:33 Look at that!
2041 01:47:35 A brilliant move!
2042 01:47:37 Amazing shot.
2043 01:47:39 And she is at match point.
2044 01:47:47 I really hopeJack Kramer is watching this
2045 01:47:49 and will cement somethingin his head...
2046 01:47:52 ...that women are notsome kind of joke.
2047 01:47:58 Bobby Riggs...fights for his whole hustle.
2048 01:48:43 I underestimated you.
2049 01:49:53 It's the gamethat's become a cause celebre.
2050 01:49:57 Equality for women.Equal rights.
2051 01:50:00 It was Billie Jean who foughtfor equal pay for women...
2052 01:50:03 ...in the U.S. Open tennistournament and got it.
2053 01:50:06 Billie Jean Kingplayed her own game,
2054 01:50:09 resting up,being non-communicative...
2055 01:50:11 ...but preparingherself mentally
2056 01:50:13 and emotionallyand physically...
2057 01:50:15 ...for a stunning performanceagainst Bobby Riggs.
2058 01:50:18 Frank Gifford wants you liveright now. Come on.
