Raging Bull Page #7

JOEY tries to move one way; VERA again blocks his

way. This little game goes on for a few seconds,

then:

JOEY:

Look, could you move a little.

Would you mind, darling?

VERA:

Mind what, Mr. Big Shot?

JAKE:

(annoyed)

Eh, girlie, take a walk.

JAKE starts to move forward; JOEY stops him.

JOEY:

(to Vera)

All right, darling, I'll just stand

here and wait.

JOEY cups his hands and grabs VERA's breasts. VERA

squeals, covers her breasts, and moves back. JOEY

and JAKE walk past her. JOEY smiles.

JOEY and JAKE sit down at an empty table.

JAKE:

Do you see her yet?

JOEY:

Give me a chance. Let me look.

MOVING SHOTS:

JAKE tries to find her -- Camera pans until we find

her. JOEY points out a distant table. He spots

VICKIE with a couple of other GIRLS . VICKIE locks

beautiful and is obviously having a good time.

JOEY (CONT'D)

THERE she is over there on the

other side. What did I tell you?

Oh, ain't she nice? Ain't she a

f***in' doll?

As they watch, WE SEE, from JAKE's POV:

SALVY, FRANKIE, and JUNIOR show up at VICKIE's

table. They are in overcoats and hats and don't sit

down. They are obviously on their way to bigger

things than a neighborhood dance -- and VICKIE and

her GIRLFRIENDS are glad to go with them. They get

up to leave.

JAKE:

Be right back.

SALVY, FRANKIE, JUNIOR, VTCKIE and the other TWO

GIRLS leave the dance hall. JAKE, unseen, follows

them to the entrance way, as they go out onto the

sidewalk.

EXT. WEBSTER HALL - NIGHT

JAKE watches as SALVY ushers everyone into his

Cadillac, and then drives off.

JAKE stares after the car for a moment, then goes

back inside.

EXT. SHOREHAVEN POOL - DAY (1942-43)

JAKE and JOEY get out of their Packard convertible

and walk over to the fence surrounding the pool.

VICKIE is by the pool.

JOEY:

(calling out to Vickie)

Hey, Vickie, c'mere. Don't be

afraid. C'mere. Just say hello.

This is my brother.

VICKIE comes over to the fence.

JOEY (CONT'D)

Vickie, I want you to meet my

brother, Jake. He's gonna be the

next champ.

JAKE puts his fingers through the fence.

JAKE:

Joey said you wanted to meet me. Is

that right? You wanted to meet me?

VICKIE:

(to Joey)

I just wanted to say hello.

JAKE:

You wanted to say hello, eh? I

can't believe it. When did you fall

outa heaven? Anyone ever tell you

you're the most beautiful one here,

princess of the pool. You got a

baby face. Look at mine. Whatcha

wanna meet me for?

VICKIE:

I don't know. 'Cause you're cute.

JAKE:

(to Joey)

Ya hear, Joey? She thinks this face

is cute? Hey, whatcha doin' now?

You wanna go for a ride?

PAN to car.

VICKIE:

Sure. Gimme a few minutes.

She starts to go.

JAKE:

Hey...
