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.

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.

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.
