:17:06
Now, you see, that break's
still a few weeks away.
:17:09
I know.
Yeah.
:17:10
And you were gonna tell me
about this when?
:17:12
It's gonna be fine. It's
not fine. No, it's not.
:17:15
What the hell?
You don't tell me?
:17:16
What the hell kinda crap is
that? I owe everybody money, Joe.
:17:22
I can't get any shifts.
:17:23
We ain't got any cash.
:17:28
I got it.
:17:33
Screw them.
I'll tape it double.
:17:37
Thanks.
:17:40
Keep up. Stay up.
:17:42
Keep moving.
Keep your legs moving.
:17:46
And here comes Braddock
:17:48
with his long-time manager,
Joe Gould.
:17:50
You're washed up, Braddock.
:17:52
And now for our main event.
:17:54
Hey, which one's us, pal?
:17:55
Jersey veteran
James J. Braddock...
:17:56
is up against Hymie Caplin's
latest charge...
:17:58
young Abe Feldman
from Schenectady, New York.
:18:01
Six rounder.
:18:02
Some might recall
that Braddock was once...
:18:04
a light heavyweight
title challenger.
:18:06
His golden-boy peak ended
when Tommy Loughran...
:18:09
handled Jim over 15 rounds
back in '29.
:18:13
Since then,
the oft-injured Braddock...
:18:15
has shown only a glimmer
of his early promise.
:18:18
And the losses have started
to pile up.
:18:20
But Braddock continues
to battle.
:18:24
And here comes
the popular Abe Feldman.
:18:26
Feldman looks to be
the real thing...
:18:28
and showed some real moxie in his recent win
over Hans Birkie.
:18:35
Hey, who whipped Latzo?
:18:38
I did.
Goddamn right.
:18:40
Who KO'ed Slattery
in the ninth...
:18:42
when everybody said he didn't
have a rainmaker's chance in hell?
:18:45
That'd have to be me, too.
Right.
:18:47
And we're supposed to pucker our
assholes over this Abe Feldman?
:18:50
The guy couldn't break wind.
No.
:18:52
Hey, Jimmy.
:18:55
Anyplace else you'd rather be?
:18:57
No.
Good.
:18:59
Now, what are you
gonna do about it?
