MICKEY WASN'T TOUGH ON ROCKY OUT OF "SPITE", "MEANNESS", OR TO "BELITTLE" HIM. MICKEY WAS TOUGH ON ROCKY OUT OF LOVE. HE KNEW THERE WAS GREATNESS INSIDE HIM AND SAID WHAT HE DID TO LIGHT A FIRE IN ROCK'S BELLY AND UNDER HIS BUTT TO DRIVE HIM TO GREATNESS; IF SOMEONE IS EVER TOUGH ON YOU AND WON'T QUIT, THEY MAY JUST BE YOUR "MICKEY"; NOW GET UP YOU SON OF A BITCH, 'CAUSE MICKEY LOVES YA!
