Rocky Balboa Page #2

...it was toe to toe and it was--

Excuse me.

Your son said he can't make it.

He said he'll take a rain check. Okay?

Look at these birds.

Don't these birds look like candy?

Flying candy?

Hey, birdie,

you wanna fly me home?

You need somebody

to walk you home?

No?

It's a cold night. We need a few laughs

in our life. What do you think? Maybe?

Maybe? Maybe?

Okay. Let's get out of here, okay?

That place ain't changed much

from last year.

Are we done?

Hey, how you doing, Mick?

That sign is falling apart, Paulie.

The whole world is falling apart.

Look at us.

Don't talk crazy, Paulie.

You know, I think if you live someplace

long enough, you are that place.

I ain't no talking building.

Come on, it's getting late, Rocko.

I get a headache from this train.

I remember when

she was standing there...

...all nervous and shy,

with this little smile.

And all I wanted her to do

was trust me.

She did.

- She did.

- You done?

- How long are we staying here?

- Not long.

Well, I'm glad they tore

this ice rink down.

Come on.

You heard me.

I'm happy they tore it apart.

First time I walked your sister

across this ice, we was over there.

She was nervous, but I wasn't so great

on the blades either.

Ice is stupid. People standing on ice

are more stupid.

And over there,

when she was falling...

...and my hand grabbed her...

...and I got her arm through that coat,

I could feel it.

Electric.

You said the same thing

last year, Rock.

Did I?

- So you better develop your brain.

- You're left-handed.

- Absolutely.

Come on, Rock. Let's go.

We're done. There's no place

to sit down around here.

It's all right.

It ain't all right! It's depressing

and freaking cold!

What's the matter with you, Paulie?

You're living backwards, Rocko!

Change the channel from yesterday!

Yesterday wasn't so great!

- It was to me.

- Not to me!

You treated her good.

You had the good times.

I treated her bad.

I don't have to think about this.

She always loved you, Paulie.

Sorry, Rocko,

I can't do this no more.

Can I help you?

No, no, I used to come down

to this place a long time ago.

I was just looking around.

No big deal.

Can I get you a drink?

- All right. Maybe just a short beer.

- Okay.

Go. Go on.

Yeah, go on.

Get him to buy a round.

Get him to buy a round. Go.

Get him to-- He's got it.

He's spending money.

Listen, I don't mean to cross the line

or anything...

...but I read about your wife's passing

a few years back.

Yeah, it was woman cancer.

Yeah. I always heard

she was a nice person.

Yeah, the best.

- Do I know you?

- We met a long time ago.

We did?

When I was a kid,

you walked me home.

- I did?

- Told me to stop smoking and things.
