Rocky Scene 14 Summary

  • The alarm goes off at 4:00 a.m. It's twenty-eight degrees. (If we were Rocky, we'd hit the snooze button about two or three dozen more times.)
  • Time for breakfast: five raw eggs cracked into a plastic tumbler. You've heard of a milk moustache—Rocky has an egg-yolk moustache after guzzling it down. Blegh.
  • After donning his sweats and his chucks, Rocky does some stretches and hits the streets for a brisk jog.
  • Later, at the meatpacking plant, Paulie wants to know if Rocky really likes Adrian. He doesn't understand the attraction.
  • Paulie says some rude things about his sister.
  • Rocky gets angry and beats some meat. Not a euphemism. He punches a raw side of beef until his hands are bloody.
  • At Adrian's house, Rocky sits in the warm living room.
  • She wants to make out, but he tells her there's "no fooling around" during training.
  • Tender music plays, and Rocky says, "Yo… I'm sorry."
  • They hug it out. Aww.
