of a rocky Marciano

and the Spanish moves of de

la Hoya or Roberto Duran.

Yeah, don't waste

what you got, kid.

Don't disappoint.

You got no f***in' excuse.

It's time for you to bring

this all to another level.

All right, Eddie.

Now get your ass down there

and take a shower.

All right, buddy.

Good work, baby.

Can I help you?

No, I'm just thinking.

Thinking?

Yeah.

I used to live here.

Yo, Anthony, what are

you doing over here?

Get in.

No, Matty.

I'm just gonna go home to relax.

Please, Anthony.

It's important.

Come on.

I need someone to talk to.

It'll just be an hour, tops.

I promise.

His jeans were tighter

than mine.

Um, with a popped collar.

I'm gonna do it, pal.

I'm finally gonna study hard

and then take

the stockbroker's test.

This time,

I'm not gonna fail. No way!

Now that's what I like

to hear, Matty.

Make it happen.

It's because of you.

I see what you do every day

and it motivates me.

I'm really sorry

about that fight we got into.

I should have

never took you to ac.

It's all right.

Sh*t happens sometimes.

Look at that.

You'd think I'd slow down,

that my libido would relax

a little as I got older.

I wanna bang everything.

I don't even care

how hot they are.

As long as

it's a new piece of ass.

There's nothing like

that first time with a girl.

It's the ultimate thrill.

I don't know how anybody

could just be with one girl.

So you don't ever

want to get married?

I don't have a Maria

in my life like you.

It doesn't matter.

It's all just a dream

with that girl.

You said one drink.

I'm gonna drive your car home.

Let's go.

You're the only one doing

anything in the neighborhood.

I'm so proud of you.

I love watching you

in that ring.

You're gonna hold up

that belt one day.

I f***in' know it.

- Thanks, Matty.

- I know it!

Come on, let's go.

Let me finish my drink.

I really... I need a cigarette.

I'll be right back.

Excuse me, do you have

an extra cigarette?

Sure, sweetie.

Thank you.

I'll take your number too.

- Um. No, I don't think so.

- No?

- Thanks.

- You kidding me?

Let's go.

Like that hot girl is gonna

give that jerk-off her number.

Let's go, Matt.

All right, listen.

I want a cigarette.

Hey buddy, you got a cigarette?

Sorry, buddy, all out.

What do you mean all out?

I just seen you

give that girl one.

If you looked like her, I would.

But you don't, so you're not.

Look, I don't want

a problem, pal.

All I want is a lousy cigarette.

And I gave you your answer.

So why don't you and your

friend go f*** yourselves.

All right, calm down.

Are we really gonna argue

over a f***in' cigarette?

Hey, man! Behind you!

Behind you!

- He got my f***ing arm!

- You all right?

Yeah.

That motherf***er should

have gave me a cigarette.

You f***ing pounced him!

That motherf***er's got a gun!

Get out of here!

...Sh*t!

The f***er shot at us!

You believe that sh*t?

Oh, my god.

I can't be doing this no more.

We're lucky to be alive.

And this is for sure

gonna get back to Enzo.

We're probably gonna have

a sit-down over this.

I... I just really

don't need this sh*t.

You're the one lucky

to be alive.

I don't got much to live for.

Don't talk like this.

You know that's not true.

I'm just a f***-up that

can't get my sh*t together.

I... I shouldn't be getting

you into these situations.

You got too much

going on right now.

You're just better off

staying away from me.

I don't want to stay away

from you, Matty.

I just can't be hanging out

in bars and stuff right now.

I gotta give boxing my all.

I know, Anthony.

Where are you going?

This is your car.

Keep it for now.

I gotta get my sh*t together.

I'll just end up

f***ing crashing it anyway,

'cause I'm gettin' drunk.

Matty!

Matty, where are you...

get back here!

I'll talk to you soon.

Get that arm looked at.

Matty!

Maria!

Maria.

What happened?

Come here.

What the hell happened?

Did Dominick do that to you?

Get in. Get in.

What are you doing?

You're gonna get us killed.

I'm gonna find him.

Is he in the social club?

- Answer me, Maria!

- Are you crazy?

- Have you lost your mind?

- Maybe I have!

There's no way I'm gonna let

him get away with hurting you.

No f***ing way!

Look, it's okay, all right?

- It's not okay.

- It is okay.

Look, I'm over him. I'm done.

I'm done with Dominick!

Just let it go!

Okay, going after him is

just gonna make it far worse

for both of us, all right?

Please, let it go.

What happened to your arm?

It don't matter.

It's okay.

It's not okay.

You need to dress it better.

Let's just go to your place.

What the hell did you do,

Anthony?

I can't believe we both got

messed up on the same night.

There, that's better.

I remember taking that picture.

I can't believe

you still have it.

So I can look at you every day.

Your mom was so pretty.

She was beautiful.

She'd be real proud of you.

You're doing something special.

It hasn't been so special yet.

It will be.

So tell me.

What happened to your arm?

Even with that bruise

on your face,

you're so beautiful.

You always have been.

- Your turn.

- Come on. No

no more. Come on.

You piece of sh*t!

Please. Please,

give me a break.

That was a good one.

That's enough. It's over.

What the f*** were you thinking?

I was drunk.

I don't know.

Huh?

I'm sorry.

No guns get shot

in my neighborhood

unless I give the okay

that they get shot.

- You understand?

You stupid f***ing moron.

Not only are you shooting

off guns in my streets,

you're firing at somebody

who's close to me.

I don't like that.

I don't like that one bit.

I am sorry. I'm...

shut up!

Don't you say

a f***ing word, man!

I'm so... Mr. Devino,

I'm so...

it'll never happen again,

I promise.

You're sorry. I'm sorry too.

Everybody's sorry.

- So because you say that...

- I'm sorry.

You should get up

and walk out, is that it?

I made a mistake.

You gotta go.

No! No!

No! No, no, no...

so, Maria,

I've been thinking,

let's do something tonight.

I wanna be able to do

different things with you

and not just stay here.

So you don't like what we've

been doing in your apartment?

Of course, I do.

Let's just give it

a little time.

Us being seen together right now

won't be good for either of us.

I wanna leave this place.

I'm done with it.

I'm leaving

after this next fight.

Come with me.

I can still train and box,

but just in a different place.

I never thought

that I would say this,

but I want to get out

of here, too.

I want a different life

and I want it with you.

Yeah, yeah, right there.

You got it, baby. Come on!

Yeah, give me some movement.

Okay, give me some movement.

Give me a jab move.

Keep your feet moving.

Left, right, left, right.

Come on, Anthony!

Yeah, baby! Yeah!

Pump it. Yeah!

That's it!

What do you think,

we're f***ing stupid?

What are you talking about,

Enzo?

You didn't think we were

gonna find out, did you?

Yeah, we find out

everything, Anthony.
