Cinderella Man Page #2
That's stealing, right?
And we don't steal.
No matter what happens,
we don't steal.
Not ever. You got me?
Are you giving me your word?
Yes.
Go on.
I promise.
And I promise you...
we will never send you away.
It's okay, kid.
You got a little scared.
I understand.
It's okay.
Jim, he's a very slow guy.
So you just keep him steady.
Keep him trapped in the middle.
Keep dancing around him, okay?
You know what to do.
You know this type.
That guy's a bum.
Two bits will
get a guy a seat.
And that guy gets to watch
you bleed and call you a bum.
And I know I gotta take it from
him, 'cause he's a paying customer.
I see.
Well, well, well.
Pardon me, miss. Allow
me to restate my position.
Mr. Abraham Feldman
is a novice fighter...
whose ass you should
gently kick...
until it is humped up
between his shoulder blades.
That is, if it doesn't offend
God knows.
Now, you see, that break's
still a few weeks away.
I know.
Yeah.
And you were gonna tell me
about this when?
It's gonna be fine. It's
not fine. No, it's not.
What the hell?
You don't tell me?
What the hell kinda crap is
that? I owe everybody money, Joe.
I can't get any shifts.
We ain't got any cash.
I got it.
Screw them.
I'll tape it double.
Thanks.
Keep up. Stay up.
Keep moving.
Keep your legs moving.
And here comes Braddock
with his long-time manager,
Joe Gould.
You're washed up, Braddock.
And now for our main event.
Hey, which one's us, pal?
Jersey veteran
James J. Braddock...
latest charge...
young Abe Feldman
from Schenectady, New York.
Six rounder.
Some might recall
that Braddock was once...
a light heavyweight
title challenger.
His golden-boy peak ended
when Tommy Loughran...
handled Jim over 15 rounds
back in '29.
Since then,
the oft-injured Braddock...
has shown only a glimmer
of his early promise.
And the losses have started
to pile up.
But Braddock continues
to battle.
And here comes
the popular Abe Feldman.
Feldman looks to be
the real thing...
his recent win over Hans Birkie.
Hey, who whipped Latzo?
I did.
Goddamn right.
Who KO'ed Slattery
in the ninth...
when everybody said he didn't
have a rainmaker's chance in hell?
That'd have to be me, too.
Right.
And we're supposed to pucker our
a**holes over this Abe Feldman?
The guy couldn't break wind.
No.
Hey, Jimmy.
Anyplace else you'd rather be?
No.
Good.
Now, what are you
gonna do about it?
Here we are halfway
through the fifth
And it's more of the same.
The boys clinch again.
Break it up.
He's crushing my guy.
