You beat him pretty bad.
You know, I think you should fight him again.

Wait a minute.
Whose baby is this? Well, he's about your size, Sugar.
- Yeah, but it talks like you.

And it makes faces like Ali.
There's a note.
Let's read it.
Let's see what this note says.
I don't know.
You? I can't read it.
Uh, " Dear Champ, remember your New Year's Eve party? Well, here's your baby.
" Well, as you can see, it said "Champ.
" That could be any one of us.
We were all at that party, you know.
Well, i-it's signed "Judy.
" - [All.]
Ohh! Judy! - Yeah.
Well, maybe we should take turns with the baby too.
[Baby Crying.]
U-Uh, I think he's hungry! - What we gonna do with the baby? - Give him a bottle.
Somethin' for the baby.
All right, little baby, swish it around in your mouth and spit it out.
Or else you'll get cramps.
Yeah, all right, Champ, come on.
Swish it around.
Swish.
Now spit! There you go.
There you go.
- [Crying Continues.]
- He's still cryin'.
Uh, maybe we should change his diaper or somethin'.
Let's try that.
Oh, wow! Looks like the little fella had a pretty bad accident.
No, Michael, it's a girl.
Ohh! - That's it.
- I'll handle this.
Come on, little girl.
It's the Sugar.
Look close now.
In all your life, you'll never lay eyes on a more beautiful man.
[Crying Continues.]
That was pretty funny.
Oh, wait.
We gotta finish this.
Um, get some powder.
I hear babies can get rashes.
D-Did you say somethin' about roaches? I don't want this baby livin' with roaches.
Hi.
It's me, Muhammad Ali.
Z-Con Roach Spray, the most powerful spray in the world.
- I said "rashes," not "roaches," Ali.
- Oh.
Come on, guys, do somethin'.
She's cryin'.
What should we do? Do that impression you do ofTommy Hearns.
Okay, baby, this is an impression ofTommy Hearns.

! President Bush has seen fit to appoint me ambassador.
.
.
to your little nation.
.
.
rather than sending me to Majorca, as I had expected.
[Translating.]
I didn't know what to expect, based on the briefing I received in Washington.
.
.
but I find your little country really rather quaint.
.
.
in a Third World sort of way.
[Chattering, Laughing.]
Uh, we have much to offer your country.
.
.
in terms of agricultural assistance and hunger relief.
[Murmuring, Groaning.]
L-I'm very sorry that I don't speak your language.
.

but Mr.
Mbutu has been so kind as to teach me a phrase to close with.
Um.

Yeah.
How'd you know? When you are French.

you can just tell.
You know, it's getting hard to climb the corporate ladder being single.
I think that finding the proper wife.
