	                                   THEN CUT TO:



	INT. BARBIZON PLAZA THEATRE - DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT (1964)



	JAKE LAMOTTA, wearing a tux, is shadow-boxing.



	We are unsure of where he is -- he moves in and out of the

shadows. At 42, he's overweight and out of shape, but the

balls of his feet still pop up and down like they were on

canvas and his tiny fists still jerk forward with short

bursts of light. He is rehearsing a nightclub monologue.



	               JAKE
