The Bronx Bull Page #3

---

But then I was told that

if I didn't lose to Billy Fox,

I wouldn't get a shot at the title.

Couple of days later,

I injured my spleen.

My doctor told me that I couldn't fight.

So I took the fight and I lost.

But you agreed to lose too,

for the fight.

In a way, yeah, but I knew I was injured

and that I wasn't gonna win.

I didn't take any money.

I wanna be real straight

with you guys, you know.

This was the only way that I was

gonna get a shot at the title.

I just did what I had to do.

I mean, I won.

Do you have any idea

how hard that is to do?

What it takes to get that job done?

No, sir, I do not.

But I'm not the one under question here.

Well, I don't know

what to tell you guys.

I just did what I had to do

to win the title.

Now I yield to my colleague,

the senator from Tennessee.

Mr. LaMotta, has anyone told

you not to give us any names

at this hearing?

No, sir.

[INAUDIBLE]

Are you afraid

that if you give us any names,

some harm might come

to you or your family?

I ain't afraid of any

of them dirty rats.

SALLY:
Jake, it's almost ready.

JAKE:
Taking a freaking piss.

I'll be right out.

Hurry up.

It's gonna get cold.

Ah. Ah, there's

my beautiful Sally.

[LAUGHS]

Stop it.

One big honeymoon.

First the marriage

and then the honeymoon, huh?

Hey! It's raining

like all f*** out there.

You sure you wanna get married today?

How about watching your language

in front of this beautiful bride?

- Hey, Sally.

- Hi, Rick.

Jesus, Jake, you're getting

married in 20 minutes.

Sure you don't wanna throw on

some pants or something?

Oh, f*** it. You know,

give the reporters

something to talk about.

[LAUGHS]

It's a lovely dress.

You look beautiful, Sally.

Thank you, Laura.

[LAUGHS]

Of course she looks beautiful.

Mrs. Jake LaMotta.

Hey, loverboy, why don't you

save it till you get married?

I parked near a fire hydrant.

RICK:

Here we go!

Come on, it's good luck.

It's good luck.

JAKE:

Here we go! Ho-ho!

From now on, it's just you and me.

We're gonna have a good life, huh?

No, a wonderful life,

just like the movie.

Only in our movie, you're the angel.

[SOFT MUSIC]

MAN:
Thank you, thank you.

All right, ladies and gentlemen,

now it's the moment

you've all been waiting for.

Please join me in welcoming

the man, the myth, the legend,

Mr. Joe E. Lewis!

[APPLAUSE AND WHISTLING]

Hey, it's post time.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, come on.

I love playing this joint.

It's the only place there's

hoodlums than paying customers.

Hey, speaking of hoodlums,

I see an old pal of mine's here tonight.

How's it going tonight, champ?
