Lou!

You're talking about a guy

in his 60s.

Vinny, shut it off.

We're eatin'.

Okay. Yeah, I'm comin'.

That's not professional.

How'd it feel to take a shot

from a world champ?

He hits like a altar boy.

What's the next move for Vinny

after this fight?

I don't know

if there's gonna be a next.

Now's not the time

for an announcement,

but as far as I'm concerned, Vinny

Pazienza shouldn't fight no more.

Now boxing's been good to him,

and he's been good to boxing,

and that's where it should end.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Come here, Vinny.

I'm good.

Come here.

I'll have more.

Ridiculous.

I don't know what you expect.

- Be happy with what you got.

- It's gonna fall out of his head.

Pop, stay calm, all right?

I need to set up the next fight.

Vinny, Angelo. Come on in.

Angelo.

Uh, what a surprise.

- How you doin', Vinny?

- They block the driveway?

We need to talk.

You should have called first. You know

I don't take meetings in the house.

Yeah, and you should have thought

before opening your f***ing mouth

and telling the whole world

my son should retire.

All right, all right.

Come on now.

Lou, let's talk.

Come on.

Fine. Let's talk.

Vinny ain't done, Lou.

And even if you think he is,

you got no business

announcing it on HBO.

What the f***.

Vinny'll decide when he's done.

I wish we'd spoken first,

but it's not a perfect world.

It's fine.

It's all right. Lou.

- I need another fight.

What's with the deep f***in' breath? You

owe him another fight in his contract.

Pop.

Lookit, Vinny.

All I'm saying is that I think

maybe you oughta start thinking

about more important things.

Your sister's getting married. You should

consider doing the same. Start a family.

What the f*** does that

have to do with him fighting?

- Pop, please. -Even when you

win, we go to the hospital.

Who's we?

I ain't ever seen you there.

Huh? Lou.

For f***'s sake, say something.

You got heart, kid, but you

wear it on your f***in' chin.

I seriously think you oughta

consider hanging it up.

I'm not done yet.

All right? I got more in me.

That's not the problem.

You always got more.

I'm beggin' you here, Lou.

Give me another shot.

Just one more.

F***.

Rough night?

No, great night.

Rough morning.

You're early.

You're drunk.

No, I'm hung over.

There's a huge difference.

Oh.

Well, you smell like liquor.

And you smell like Rhode Island.

What, you never had

a big night before?

Nah, I don't drink.

Yeah? Good for you.

Now, if we're done

with the f***ing introductions,

I can't see sh*t out here.

This is where

you trained Tyson, huh?

Yeah.

That is crazy.

This your family?

Yeah.

You guys go to Disneyland?
