View Quote Paulie: Are you still mad that Adrian left you?
Rocky: She didn't leave, Paulie. She died.
Duke: You know all there is to know about fighting, so there's no sense us going down that same old road again. To beat this guy, you need speed - you don't have it. And your knees can't take the pounding, so hard running is out. And you got arthritis in your neck, and you've got calcium deposits on most of your joints, so sparring is out.
Paulie: I had that problem.
Duke: So, what we'll be calling on is good ol' fashion blunt force trauma. Horsepower. Heavy-duty, cast-iron, piledriving punches that will have to hurt so much they'll rattle his ancestors. Every time you hit him with a shot, it's gotta feel like he tried kissing the express train. Yeah! Let's start building some hurtin' bombs!
Mason 'The Line' Dixon: It's already over.
Rocky: Nothing's over 'til it's over.
Mason 'The Line' Dixon: What's that from, the 80's?
Rocky: That's probably the 70's.
Rocky: Hey yo, champ, aren't you a little scared?
Mason 'The Line' Dixon: I don't get scared. [walks away]
Rocky: [turns and walks away with his son] You know, I think you try harder when you're scared... that's when it's worked best for me.
Rocky: [to a ESPN commentator before the fight with Dixon] How you doin'?
ESPN Commentator: [to his colleages] Rocky Balboa just asked me how I', doing. Now, I grew up watching this guy. I never thought that I would be calling one of his fights! Unbeliveable. I'm a fan, I can't help it.
Mason 'The Line' Dixon: [before the final round] You are one crazy old man.
Rocky: You'll get there.
View Quote Rocky: Yo, don't I got some rights?
Boxing Commissioner: What rights do you think you're referring to?
Rocky: Rights, like in that official piece of paper they wrote down the street there?
Boxing Commissioner: That's the Bill of Rights.
Rocky: Yeah yeah, the Bill of Rights. Don't it say something about going after what makes you happy?
Boxing Commissioner: No, that's the pursuit of happiness. But what's your point?
Rocky: My point is, I'm pursuing something and nobody looks too happy about it.
Boxing Commissioner: But, we're just looking out for your interests.
Rocky: I appreciate that, but maybe you're looking out for your interests just a little bit more. I mean you shouldn't be asking people to come down here and pay the freight on something they paid, it still ain't good enough, I mean you think that's right? I mean maybe you're doing your job but why you gotta stop me from doing mine? Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something... and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!... You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table... is what's right.
View Quote Martin: You got everything money can buy, except what it can't. Its pride. Pride is what got your ass out here, and losing is what brought ya back. But people like you, they need to be tested. They need a challenge.
Mason 'The Line' Dixon: But you know that ain't never gonna happen. There ain't anybody out there, Martin.
Martin: There's always somebody out there. Always. And when that time comes and you find something standing in front of you, something that ain't running and ain't backing up and is hitting on you and you're too damn tired to breathe. You find that situation on you. That's good, 'cause that's baptism under fire! Oh, you get through that and you find the only kind of respect that matters in this world, self-respect.
View Quote Rocky: I'd rather do something I love badly than...
Paulie: ...than to do bad by not doing something you love.
Rocky: Come on Paulie, we're about to serve today's special.
Paulie: Italian food cooked up by a bunch of Mexicans doesn't sound so special to me, Rock.
View Quote Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son, you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.
View Quote [visiting his old house as he thinks about Adrian] I remember when she was standing there all nervous and shy with that small smile... And all I wanted her to do was trust me... And she did... she did...
View Quote It doesn't matter how this looks to other people, it matters how it looks to you. If this is something you gotta do, then you do it. Fighters fight.
View Quote You're livin' backwards, Rocko! Change the channel from yesterday! Yesterday wasn't so great!
View Quote Rocky: Ya know they always say if you live in one place long enough, you are that place.
Paulie: I ain't no talking building, Rock.
View Quote Hey don't hit me, I'm brittle.
View Quote I stopped thinking the way other people think a long time ago, you gotta think like you think.
View Quote [talking to Rocky as he is getting ready for round three] Hey, stay on him! Everybody thought this was a joke, including me! Now, nobody's laughing! Stay on him!
View Quote Marie: Do you have a reservation?
Paulie: Do I look like a freakin' Indian?
View Quote Hey Rock! This is the last round of your life!
View Quote Duke: Gettin' stronger!
HBO Commentator: Yet another quick knockout for Mason Dixon, almost perfunctory; the fans let him know how they feel about it.
