When Travis Bickle was tormented with insomnia, he put himself on the night shift whereas Jack Bruno(Dwayne Johnson), while working the heavy bag("Rocky" thrown into sharp relief from the Scorsese classic), declares that he can't sleep, agrees to the long fare(albeit the next day) proposed by two juvenille humanoids as a means of burning off restless energy.
