Storyline:He vowed: "I""ll be a good guy, I promise.I ain""t gonna do nothin"" wrong.I ain""t gonna leave no hair in the sink or nothin"" like that." Euphoric, Rocky promised "Mr.Tiger" in the exhibit that he would send him an invitation.The next scene was their marriage in a church, where Father Carmine (Paul Micale) performed the ceremony for the couple in Italian before only a few guests.Without looking, he casually waves on the car, and is reprimanded by the passenger: "You""re in the middle of the road, jack-ass.It was nominated for nine Academy Awards in total: Best Actor (Jack Nicholson with his first win after losing he previous year forChinatown (1974)), Best Actress (Louise Fletcher), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography (Bill Butler and Haskell Wexler), Best Director, Best Editing, Best Picture, Best Score (Jack Nitzsche) and Best Supporting Actor (Brad Dourif).We just sort of go along and nothing happens.We""re in a terrible rut.It""s been on my mind for months.What""s gonna be our future?Father: (consoling) Oh, come now, Charlie, things aren""t as bad as hat.The bank gave me a raise last January.Charlie: Money.How can you talk about money when I""m talking about souls? We eat and sleep and that""s about all.We don""t even have any real conversations.We just talk...Father:...and work.Charlie: Yes, poor mother, she works like a dog, just like a dog...When she comes back, it will be the same thing.Dinner, then dishes, then bed.I don""t see how she stands it.You know, she""s really a wonderful woman.I mean, she""s not just a mother.And I think we ought to do something for her.Don""t you think we should?Father: Yeah.What were you thinking of doing for her?Charlie: Oh, nothing I supppose.I guess we""ll just have to wait for a miracle - or something...I don""t believe in good intentions anymore.All I""m waiting for now is a miracle.Suddenly, Charlie""s spinsterish, talkative and oblivious mother Emma Newton (Patricia Collinge) [Emma was the name of Hitchcock""s mother - she died in England during filming] makes a dramatic appearance at the bedroom door, speaking her first words [and foreshadowing an "accident" that will occur later in the film]: "Those back stairs are steep." In his dressing room, Spider Rico read Rocky a Bible passage (Zachariah 4:6: "It is not by strength, not by might but by his spirit we have already claimed the victory in our Lord Jesus Christ").
