  • Ginger: I thought you were teaching us how to fly.

    Rocky: Hey, do I tell you how to lay eggs?

  • Hen: And what brings you to England, Mr Rhodes?

    Rocky: Why, all the beautiful English chicks, of course.

  • Ginger: I should turn you in right now.

    Rocky: You wouldn't! Would you?

    Ginger: Give me one reason why I shouldn't.

    Rocky: Because I'm... cute?

    [Ginger squawks to attract the farmer's attention]

    Rocky: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wwhat kind of crazy chick are you? Do you know what'll happen if he finds me?

    Ginger: [quoting him] It's a cruel world.

    Rocky: I just decided, I don't like you.

    Ginger: I just decided, I don't care.

  • Rocky: What's eating Grandpa?

  • Rocky: [Presenting himself] You see, I'm a traveller by nature. I did that whole barnyard thing for a while but I couldn't really get into it.

    [to one of the chickens]

    Rocky: Hi, how are you?

    [she swoons and faints, Rocky continues]

    Rocky: Nope! The open road, that's more my style. Yep, just give me a pack on my back and point me where the wind blows. In fact, you know what they call me back home? You're gonna love this: The Lone Free Ranger.

  • Rocky: [to Ginger after being put against the wall] You know, you're the first chick I ever met with the shell still on.

  • [Fowler is forced to share his bunk with Rocky]

    Fowler: Absolutely outrageous! Asking a senior officer to share his quarters. And with a noncommissioned Yank, no less. Why, back in my day, I'd never...

    Rocky: Hey! You weren't exactly *my* first choice, either. And scoot over. Your wing's on my side of the bunk.

    Fowler: *Your* side of the bunk? The *whole bunk* is my side of the bunk!

    Rocky: [snapping back] Just... What's that smell? Is that your breath?

    Fowler: It's absolutely outrageous.

  • Rocky: Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. You wanna get every chicken in this place out of here *at the same time*?

    Ginger: Of course.

    Rocky: You're certifiable! You can't pull off a stunt like that; that's suicide.

    Ginger: Where there's a will, there's a way.

    Rocky: Couldn't agree more. And I *will* be leaving *that* way.

  • [encouraging after a failed day of "flying"]

    Rocky: Ducky, I think you flew four feet today!

    Nick: Right, four feet! From the roof to the ground.

  • Rocky: Ouch! What happened to my wing?

    Ginger: You took a rather nasty fall.

    Mac: [very fast, in strong Scottish accent] And sprained the anterior tendon connecting your radius to your humerus. I gave her a wee bit of a tweak, Jimmy, and wrapped her up.

    Rocky: Was that English?

  • Rocky: Listen. Shh. You hear that?

    [silence]

    Rocky: That's the open road calling my name, and I was born to answer that call. Bye.

    [he leaves]

    Babs: He must have very good hearing.

  • [Rocky is about to be found by the circus]

    Ginger: [blackmailing him] Teach us to fly and we'll hide you.

    Rocky: And if I don't?

    [Ginger pulls breath to squawk]

    Rocky: [stops her] Was your father by any chance a *vulture*?

  • Rocky: Easy, Pops. Cockfighting is illegal where I come from.

  • Rocky: ...And the pig says to the horse, "Hey, fella. Why the long face?"

  • Rocky: [angry with Ginger] Listen! I've met some hard-boiled eggs in my day, but I'd say you're about 20 minutes!

  • Rocky: Is there a problem here?

    Ginger: Have we flown over that fence?

    Rocky: Not, uh... not quite.

    Ginger: Then there's a problem.

  • Mac: [very rapidly, with a thick Scottish accent] Thrust! I went over my calculations, hen, and I forgot the key element missing is thrust!

    Rocky: [after a long pause] I didn't get a word of that.

    Mac: Thrust. Other birds, like ducks and geese, when they take off, what do they have?

    [shouts]

    Mac: Thrust!

    Rocky: I swear she ain't using real words.

    Ginger: She said we need more thrust.

    Rocky: Oh, thrust! Of course we need thrust. Why, thrust and flying are, well, like this.

    [crosses fingers]

    Rocky: See, that's flying and that's thrust.

  • Rocky: Guys, you are without a doubt the sneakiest, most light-fingered thieving parasites I've ever met.

    Nick: [flattered] Oh, don't, don't. Stop it!

    Fetcher: I've gone bright red.

  • Rocky: Sleep tight, angel face. The Rock's on the case.

  • [Rocky was hiding beneath Ginger's nest while Mrs. Tweedy was searching for him]

    Ginger: Comfortable?

    Rocky: [strained] Not, really.

    Ginger: [produces a plastic knife to wedge between him and the wood frame] Maybe this'll help.

  • Rocky: What's happening? What's going on?

    Babs: They took Ginger, Mr. Rhodes! They're taking her to the chop!

    Fowler: Well, what are you waiting for, laddie? Fly over there. Save her!

    Rocky: Of course - No, No! That's just what they'd expect. But I say, we give them the old element of surprise.

    Fowler: [chuckling] And catch Jerry with his trousers down. I like the sound of that; what's the plan?

    Rocky: The plan... um, the plan. The plan! Uh - Babs, give me that thing. Bunty, give me a boost.

  • Ginger: Um, I just wanted to say, I may have been a bit harsh at first. Well, what I really mean is: thank you, for saving my life. For saving *our* lives. You know, I come up here every night and look out to that hill, and imagine what it must be like on the other side. It's funny, I've - I've never actually felt grass beneath my feet. I'm sorry. Here I am rambling on about hills and grass, and you had something you wanted to say.

    Rocky: Uh, y-yeah. Um, it's just that, you know... life, as I've experienced it - you know, out there lone free rangin' and stuff - it's, uh... it's full of dissapointment, and, uh...

    Ginger: What, you mean grass isn't all it's cracked up to be?

    Rocky: Grass! Exactly, grass. It's always greener on the other side. And then you get there, and it's brown and prickly. You see what I'm trying to say?

    [Ginger starts nodding but then shakes her head]

    Rocky: What I'm trying to say is... you're welcome.

    Ginger: You know, that hill is looking closer tonight than it ever has before.

    [Ginger accidentally touches Rocky's hand and they both pull away, embarrased]

    Ginger: Well, good night... Rocky.

    Rocky: Good night... Ginger.

  • Rocky: You know what your problem is? You're... difficult.

    Ginger: Why? Because I'm honest? I *care* about what happens to them! Something I wouldn't expect a Lone Free Ranger to know anything about!

    Rocky: Hey, if that's the way you go about showing it, I hope you never care about me!

    Ginger: I can assure you, I never will.

    Rocky: Good!

    Ginger: Fine!

  • Rocky: You see, over in America, we have this rule. If you want to motivate someone, don't - mention - death!

    Ginger: Funny; the rule here is: always tell the truth.

    Rocky: Boy, that's been working like a real charm, hasn't it? Let me give you some free advice: you want them to perform? Tell them what they wanna hear.

    Ginger: You mean lie?

  • Ginger: Uh, Mr. Rhodes, perhaps I didn't explain our situation properly. We lay eggs; day in and day out. And when we can't lay any more, they kill us.

    Rocky: It's a cruel world, dollface. Might as well get used to it.

    Ginger: What part of 'They kill us' do you not understand?

  • Rocky: [apparently training the chickens] And left, two, three, and right, two, three and... stop right there.

    [chickens stop leaning to the side, confused]

    Rocky: Oh, yeah. Down.

    [chickens stoop]

    Rocky: All right, now: make little circles.

    [chickens start to spin]

    Rocky: That's it, faster, faster... yeah, that hits the spot...

    Ginger: [Ginger looks up only to see Rocky sighing in contentment getting massaged; she walks over and clears throat; other chickens wander away, embarrassed] I thought you were going to teach us how to fly.

    Rocky: That's what I'm doing.

    Ginger: Isn't there usually some flapping involved?

    Rocky: Hey. Do I tell you how to lay eggs? Relax. We're making progress!

    Ginger: Really? I can't help feeling we're going around in circles.

    [motions to the spinning chickens behind her]

    Rocky: What the - ? Hey! Cut it out! You're making *me* dizzy!

    [chickens stop and start stumbling dizzily]

    Rocky: I think they're ready to fly now.

    Ginger: Good. Because they certainly can't *walk* anymore.

  • Rocky: Ouch! What happened to my wing?

    Ginger: You took a rather nasty fall.

    Mac: [in fast-paced, thick Scottish accent] And sprained the Anterior Tendon connecting your Radius to your Humerus. I gave it a wee bit of a tweak, and wrapped her up.

    Rocky: Was that English?

  • Rocky: I KNEW we shouldn't have left him! We haven't been apart in thirty-five years!

  • Rocky: Hokey smoke, are you all right?

    Bullwinkle: Yes, but I think we're on the wrong show.

    [looking at Karen]

    Bullwinkle: Look how well they drew that girl.

  • [Natasha has posed as Karen to gain an upper hand, and the real Karen is being arrested for impersonating an FBI Agent]

    Rocky: But she really is with the FBI.

    Oklahoma Cop: Yeah, and I'm really John Goodman.

  • [Rocky and Bullwinkle have their faces censored on news cameras]

    Bullwinkle: Hey, Rocky, your face is all blurry.

    Rocky: Yours too.

  • [Rocky and Bullwinkle have been flattened by a truck]

    Bullwinkle: This movie's getting kinda...

    Rocky: Don't say it!

    Bullwinkle: Two-dimensional.

  • Bullwinkle: Rocky's right, Karen, and two rights don't make a wrong!

    Rocky: Bullwinkle, that's not what you mean!

    Bullwinkle: You mean two rights do make a wrong?

    Rocky: No!

    Bullwinkle: I always thought two rights made a U-turn.

    Karen: I don't know how much more of this I can take.

    Bullwinkle: Well, let's find out. Two U-turns make a circle, two circles make a figure-8, two figure-8's make a butterfly...

    Karen: Look, all I want from you guys are results, okay?

  • [Bullwinkle is going for a walk in the woods]

    Rocky: But Bullwinkle, there aren't any more woods.

    Bullwinkle: You don't have to tell me, I'm the Chairman for the Frostbite Falls Society of Wildlife Conversation.

    Rocky: You mean "wildlife conSERVation."

    Bullwinkle: What'd I say?

    Rocky: You said "wildlife conVERSation."

    Bullwinkle: Well, somebody's gonna have to start talking about these things.

  • Rocky: Bullwinkle, you weigh 400 imaginary pounds.

    Bullwinkle: Yeah, but it's all moose-le.

  • Rocky: But Karen, we can't ride to the rescue in a stolen truck.

    Bullwinkle: Yeah. Why couldn't you steal something with bucket seats?

  • Rocky: What are you doing tomorrow night?

    Caleb Sinclaire: I don't know Rock, and you asking me out on a date?

    Rocky: It's Thanksgiving, you dumb shit. What are you doing?

    Caleb Sinclaire: Oh. Nothing, I don't celebrate the fact that my ancestors exterminated a race of people.

  • Rocky: It's not that I'm dumb, Benny!

    Van Buren: Nobody said anything about your being dumb... exactly.

  • Rocky: Let me tell you something: It's the sensitive guy that gets the needy woman.

    Ernie: Yeah, well it's the worm that gets the hooker.

  • Rocky: Shakalaka Baby!

    Rocky: Huh?

    Rocky: The hole?

    Charles-Ingvar 'Sickan' Jönsson: The *clay*!

    Rocky: Oh!

    Rocky: Dead serious.

    Marty: You mean to tell me that you get me all juiced up over this, I steal my mother's car and come down here on a Saturday, when I could be at home, watching television? I'm out here on this river with a bunch of munchkins who are sober as hell and bringing me down... and now you tell me that we don't even get to do what we came here for?

  • Rocky: What are you going to do?

    Marty: I'm gonna drive to Mexico. What do you think?

    Rocky: I don't know what to think.

    Marty: Well if you don't know what to think, then you probably shouldn't be making decisions.

  • Jasper: What are the paddles for?

    Marty: We're going cow spanking.

    Jasper: Cow spanking? What's that?

    Marty: It's like cow tipping, only we spank.

    Jasper: Really.

    Rocky: Come on let's get this stuff and get out of here.

    Jasper: While you boys are out cow spanking, Kile and I are gonna go pussy huntin'.

    Marty: Good for you, Jasper.

    Kile: [smacks Marty in the head] Hey, don't get sassy with my boy.

    Jasper: You ever been pussy hunting?

    [Kile holds a balloon up to Marty's face and squeezes it, so it looks like two pulsating balls]

  • Marty: Hey, you guys ever hear when Rocky and I were kicking out here? We got some poison oak on our hands.

    Rocky: This is a disgusting story.

    Marty: Anyway, so we're out here and we got some poison oak on our hands. With all the beers we were drinkin' naturally we had to take a piss. Now I don't know if you're hip, Millie, but when a guy pisses he has to hold his pisser in his hands like so.

    [Marty turns around to face Millie and uses both hands to hold a huge imaginary penis]

    Millie: Thanks, Marty.

    Marty: No, I'm not finished yet. Next morning when we woke up we both had totally chapped rashin' nuts!

  • Rocky: You have to trust me on this one, Sam. I'm your big brother.

    Sam: But I don't trust you.

  • Clyde: If anything, it's a beautiful day.

    George: It smells like cherry blossoms.

    Millie: How do you know what cherry blossoms smell like?

    George: I know what they smell like!

    Rocky: Does anybody really know what a cherry blossom is?

    George: Duh, it's a blossom on a cherry.

    Rocky: I don't know. I thought it was a blossom all on it's own. What do you think, Marty?

    Marty: I think I'm bored as fuck.

  • Sam: You know, if we hurt him, we'd be just as bad as him.

    Rocky: We need to hurt him without really hurting him.

  • Rocky: Everyone else wants to call it off.

    Marty: Everyone else is a vagina!

  • Rocky: Okay, I think I got one. Tie him to a tree, pour some honey on his face, and leave him there all day and night.

    Sam: Why?

    Rocky: It's for the bugs, so they get on him and bite him.

    Sam: No, we can't do that.

    Rocky: Why not?

    Sam: Well, what if a bear came along?

  • Rocky: I can't do it.

    Adrian: What?

    Rocky: I can't beat him.

    Adrian: Apollo?

    Rocky: Yeah. I been out there walkin' around, thinkin'. I mean, who am I kiddin'? I ain't even in the guy's league.

    Adrian: What are we gonna do?

    Rocky: I don't know.

    Adrian: You worked so hard.

    Rocky: Yeah, that don't matter. 'Cause I was nobody before.

    Adrian: Don't say that.

    Rocky: Ah come on, Adrian, it's true. I was nobody. But that don't matter either, you know? 'Cause I was thinkin', it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

  • Adrian: It's Thanksgiving.

    Rocky: Yeah, to you it's Thanksgiving; to me it's Thursday.

  • Adrian: Why do you wanna fight?

    Rocky: Because I can't sing or dance.

I didn't have no favors from you! Don't slum around me. Talkin' about your prime. What about my prime, Mick? At least you had a prime! I didn't have no prime. I didn't have nithin'! Leg's are goin', everything is goin'. Nobody's getting' no nothin'. Guy comes up, offers me a fight. Big deal. Wanna fight the fight? Yeah, I'll fight the big fight. I wouldn't wanna fight.

    Rocky: How does it look?

    Mickey: Ah, it's an improvement.

  • Paulie: [talking about Adrian] You like her?

    Rocky: Sure, I like her.

    Paulie: What's the attraction?

    Rocky: I dunno... she fills gaps.

    Paulie: What's 'gaps'?

    Rocky: I dunno, she's got gaps, I got gaps, together we fill gaps.

    Paulie: Are you ballin' her?

    Rocky: Hey.

    [punches Paulie in the shoulder]

    Rocky: Hey, you don't talk dirty about your sister.

    Paulie: Are you screwing my sister?

    Rocky: You see, that's why I can't connect you with Gazzo. You know that, Paulie. Because you got a big mouth. You know, you just talk too much.

  • Rocky: I been comin' here for six years, and for six years ya been stickin' it to me, an' I wanna know how come!

    Mickey: Ya don't wanna know!

    Rocky: I wanna know how come!

    Mickey: Ya wanna know?

    Rocky: I WANNA KNOW HOW!

    Mickey: OK, I'm gonna tell ya! You had the talent to become a good fighter, but instead of that, you become a legbreaker to some cheap, second rate loanshark!

    Rocky: It's a living.

    Mickey: IT'S A WASTE OF LIFE!

    Paulie: I don't want nothin' from you. I don't want nothin' from you. This ain't no charity case. Get outta my house.

    Adrian: It's not just your house.

    Paulie: [to Rocky] You ain't no friend no more. Get outta my house, I just says.

    Adrian: Don't talk to him like that.

    Paulie: Both of you get out of my house.

    Rocky: Yo... It's cold outside, Paulie.

    [drops his hat; getting angrier, Paulie grabs his bat]

    Paulie: I don't want you messin' her, and I don't raise you to go with this scum bum! Yeah? Come on! You wanna hit on me? Come on! I'll break both your arms so they don't work for ya!

    [Paulie smashed a lamp, then a dinner tray; Adrian screams]

    Paulie: [Screaming] That's right! I'm not good enough to meet with Gazzo...

    [spits]

    Paulie: that's what I think of Gazzo! Now your a big-shot fighter on your way up, you don't even throw a crumb to your friend Paulie! When I go out and get your meat every morning! You forgot that! Then I even give you my sister, too!

    Adrian: Only a pig would say that!

    Paulie: I'm a pig? A pig gives you the best?

    Paulie: [Smashes a coffee set] You're such a loser! I don't get married because of you! You can't live by yourself! I put you two together! And you - don't you forget it! You owe me! You owe me!

    Adrian: [Freaks out] WHAT DO I OWE YOU?

    Paulie: [cries] You're supposed to be good to me.

    Adrian: WHAT DO I OWE YOU, PAULIE? WHAT DO I OWE YOU? I treat you good! I cook for you! I cleaned for you! I pick up your dirty clothes! I take care of ya, Paulie! I don't owe you nothin'! And you made me feel like a loser! I'M NOT A LOSER!

  • Bodyguard: Did ya get the license number?

    Rocky: Of what?

    Bodyguard: The truck that run over your face.

  • Rocky: I wanna kiss ya-ya don't have to kiss me back if ya don't feel like it.

  • Rocky: Hey... you know how I said that stuff on TV didn't bother me none?

    Adrian: Yeah?

    Rocky: It did.

  • Rocky: Hey, yo, Mike, whose lock is this? Whose stuff is this in my locker?

    Mike: It's Dipper's stuff. It ain't your locker no more.

    Rocky: Whatta ya talkin' about it ain't my locker no more? It's been my locker for six years. Where's my gear?

    Mike: Mickey told me to bag it. Hang it.

    Rocky: You put my stuff on skid row? I been in that locker six years; you put my stuff in a bag on skid row?

    Mike: Mickey tells me what to do. I gotta do it, right, Rock?

    Rocky: Where is he?

    Mike: Working with Dipper. He's in a baaad mood.

    Rocky: So am I.

  • Adrian: [just before the big fight] I'll be here waiting for you.

    Rocky: How 'bout I stay here and you fight?

  • Reporter: Where did you get the name, "The Italian Stallion"?

    Rocky: Oh I made that up one night while I was eating dinner.

  • Rocky: Cut me, Mick.

  • Adrian: Is this you?

    Rocky: Yeah, that's me when I was eight years old, that's the Italian Stallion when he was a baby.

  • Paulie: [about Adrian] She's pushing thirty freaking years old, and if she don't wise up, she's gonna die an old maid.

    Rocky: I'm thirty myself!

  • Rocky: You gotta be a moron... you gotta be a *moron* to wanna be a fighter.

  • [the 15th and final round of the fight has ended; reporters climb into the ring for interviews]

    Fight Announcer: [interviews Rocky] It was chaos. Rocky, you went the distance. You went the 15 rounds. How do you feel?

    Rocky: All right!

    Fight Announcer: What were you thinking about when that buzzer sounded?

    Rocky: [yelling] Adrian!

    Fight Announcer: What were you thinking when the 15th...

    Rocky: What? Adrian!

    Rocky: Rocky? Rocky?

    Jergens: [taking the mic] Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention, please.

    Adrian: Rocky? Rocky!

    Jergens: Tonight, we have had the privilege of witnessing the greatest exhibition of guts and stamina in the history of the ring!

    Rocky: Adrian!

    Adrian: Rocky. Rocky!

    Jergens: [reads the results] Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a split decision.

    [Jergens continues; indistinct]

    Rocky: ADRIAN!

    Adrian: Rocky!

    Jergens: ...for Creed!

    [audience cheers]

  • Rocky: I think we make a real sharp couple of coconuts - I'm dumb, you're shy, whaddaya think, huh?

  • [Rocky and Gazzo step out of the car for a talk]

    Gazzo: [upset] How come you didn't break this guy's thumb like I told you?

    Rocky: Well, how did you know I didn't...

    Gazzo: You don't think I hear things? Did I give you a job this morning or didn't I, huh?

    Rocky: Yeah.

    Gazzo: So why didn't you break his thumb like I told you? When you don't do what I tell you to do, you make me look bad, Rock.

    Rocky: [trying to come up with an excuse] I figured... look, I figured if I break the guy's thumb, he gets laid off, right? Then he can't make...

    Gazzo: [cuts Rocky off] Yeah, well don't figure! Let me do the figurin', okay, Rock? From here on in, just let me do the figuring, you know? These guys think we're running some kind of charity or something. That they can get off light. From here on in, do what I tell you to do, because it's bad for my reputation! You understand? You got...

    [shoves Rocky]

    Gazzo: You got it, Rock?

    Rocky: [beat] I got it.

    Gazzo: Good. Now, tomorrow you collect 400 from Del Rio. And if I tell you to break a guy's nose or thumb as a "late payment notice", you do it!

    Rocky: [to Gazzo as he walks back towards the car] Hey, how do you spell "Del Rio"?

    Gazzo: [angrly] Look it up in a dictionary, Rock!

    Rocky: What's a dictionary? Hey, come on! I won't let it happen no more about the thumb. You know?

    Bodyguard: [to Rocky as he drives off with Gazzo] Hey... so long, meatbag!

    Rocky: [to Buddy the Bodyguard as he drives away] I shouda broke your thumb!

  • Rocky: Adrian!

    Fight Announcer: Your fans out there deserve a rematch!

    Rocky: It ain't gonna be no rematch! Oh, come on! I had enough things in my face tonight! Adrian!

    Fight Announcer: You heard him, Ladies and...

  • Rocky: [upon seeing Apollo Creed] He looks like a big flag.

  • Mickey: You're a bum, Rock. You're a bum.

    Rocky: I ain't no bum, Mick. I ain't no bum.

  • [Rocky and Adrian watching a Christmas movie in the house]

    Adrian: And he called the reporters?

    Rocky: Yeah. It threw my whole training schedule off.

    Adrian: Don't be mad at him. He's just trying to help.

    Rocky: Adrian, I ain't mad. It's just that, uh, when a reporter's around, I get out of joint 'cause they take cheap shots, and Paulie knows that. Paulie keeps askin' me for a job all the time, but he don't know nothin' about fighting.

    Adrian: Are you gonna say anything to him?

    Rocky: Well, what's to say? I just don't know what he wants from me.

  • Mickey: You know what you are?

    Rocky: No, what?

    Mickey: A tomato.

    Rocky: A tomato?

    Mickey: Yeah, and I'm running a business here, not a goddamn soup kitchen.

  • Rocky: Don't smoke that. It makes your breath like garbage.

    Marie: Maybe I like garbage.

    Rocky: [putting out the cigarette] Nobody likes garbage!

  • Rocky: I shold have broke your thumbs!

  • Rocky: What about my prime, Mick? At least you had a prime! I had no prime, I had nothin'!

  • Rocky: [Rocky is trying to make out with Adrian on their first date] Will you do me a favor? Take off these glasses.

    [Rocky takes off Adrian's frumpy glasses, revealing her beautiful eyes]

    Rocky: Now take off this hat.

    [Takes off her unattractive hat, revealing her dark, lovely hair. Adrian is beautiful and Rocky is appreciative]

    Rocky: I always knew you was pretty...

    Adrian: [Adrian looks at him, disbelieving] Stop teasing me.

  • [Adrian is trying to get to Rocky in the ring]

    Rocky: Adrian!

    Adrian: Rocky!

    Rocky: Adrian!

    Adrian: Rocky!

    Rocky: Adrian.

    Adrian: Rocky.

  • [last lines]

    Adrian: I love you.

    Rocky: I love you.

  • Rocky: What's the matter with my house? My house stink? THAT'S RIGHT! IT STINKS!

  • Rocky: Well, ya see, sir I understand you're lookin' for sparrin' partners for Apollo, and I jus' want ta let ya know that I am very available.

  • Rocky: Shut up! Mr Gazzo wants the 200 now.

  • Duke: What's happening out there?

    Rocky: He's winning... I see three of him out there!

    Paulie: Hit the one in the middle.

    Duke: Right! Hit the one in the middle.

  • Rocky: Going in one more round when you don't think you can - that's what makes all the difference in your life.

  • [Apollo's funeral]

    Rocky: There's a lot I could say about this man, but I don't know if it matters now. I guess what matters is what he stood for, what he lived for, and what he died for. You always did everything the way you wanted it. And I didn't understand that, but now I understand. I'll never forget you, Apollo. You're the best."

  • Adrian: Rocky?

    Rocky: Yeah?

    Adrian: You alright?

    Rocky: Yeah I'm fine

    Adrian: Why'd you do it?

    Rocky: I just gotta do what I gotta do.

    Adrian: You don't have to do anything

    Rocky: No, Adrian, I do and I gotta leave this place too.

    Adrian: So where are you going?

    Rocky: They said they're gonna let me train in Russia and I just want to be somewhere where I ain't gonna think about nothing except him.

    Adrian: Rocky, give it some time. Don't do this a lot of people live with hurt.

    Rocky: A lot of people don't have a choice, Adrian, I do.

    Adrian: And for that you're willing to lose everything?

    Rocky: Adrian this isn't everything. The house, the cars and everything we got. That ain't everything. There's a lot more than this, Adrian.

    Adrian: Before there were reasons to fight I could understand but I don't understand this. Even if you win what have you won, Apollo's still gone. Why can't you change your thinking everybody else does?

    Rocky: Cause I'm a fighter! That's how I'm made, Adrian. That's what you married. We can't change what we are.

    Adrian: [Softly] Yes you can.

    Rocky: We can't change anything, Adrian. All we can do is just go with what we are.

    Adrian: You can't go with what you are you've read the papers, it's suicide! You've seen him you know how strong he is! YOU CAN'T WIN!

    Rocky: Oh, Adrian. Adrian always tells the truth. No maybe I can't win. Maybe the only thing I can do is just take everything he's got. But to beat me he's gonna have to kill me, and to kill me he's gotta have the guts to stand in front of me, and to do that he's gotta be willin to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that. I don't know. I don't know.

  • [Drago has just entered the ring]

    Paulie: Uh, Rock, you remember what I said about wantin' to be you?

    Rocky: Yeah.

    Paulie: Forget it.

    [exits the ring]

    Rocky: Thanks, Paul.

  • Rocky: [Addressing the Soviet crowd, translated into Russian line by line by announcer]

    Rocky: During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!

    Rocky: [loud applause, even by the politburo]

  • Duke: Hey, Champ.

    Rocky: Hey.

    Duke: Can I come up?

    Rocky: Yeah sure.

    Duke: Some weather we're having here huh?

    Rocky: Yeah it's pretty rough.

    Duke: But it's perfect for what you gotta do it's good. Toughen you up.

    Rocky: I guess.

    Duke: I know you think you're gonna have to do everything by yourself but you know I'll be with you.

    Rocky: Yeah

    Duke: Apollo was like my son. I raised him. And when he died a part of me died. But now you're the one. You're the one that's gonna keep his spirit alive. You're the one that's gonna make sure that he didn't die for nothing. Now you're gonna have to go through hell. Worse than any nightmare you ever dreamed. But in the end, I know you'll be the one standing.

    Rocky: I'll try.

    Duke: You know what you have to do. Do it. Do it.

    Rocky: Thanks, Duke.

  • Rocky: Champ, look this fight's over. I gotta stop it.

    Apollo: No, no.

    Rocky: Look, you can't do no more out there!

    Apollo: I'm here to fight.

    Rocky: He's killing ya. I gotta stop this thing.

    Apollo: I'm here to fight, promise me you're not gonna stop this fight.

    Commentator #1: Boy I'll tell ya that was a pulverizing round for the ex-champion.

    Commentator #2 in Las Vegas: Hey guys, Ivan Drago is definitely for real!

    Apollo: [His last words] I want you to promise me you're not gonna stop this fight, no matter what. No matter what!

  • Interviewer: [at the Drago-Creed press conference] Rocky, how do you think Apollo should fight Drago?

    Rocky: [commenting on Drago's imposing stature] Well, what I think we should do first is get Apollo a ladder.

    [everybody chuckles]

  • Rocky: To beat me, he will have to kill me.

  • Rocky: [to Rocky Jr] Yo, can you turn your robot down, please?

  • Rocky: [Watching footage of the their previous boxing matches against each other] You know this fight with you and the Russian? You think it's not you against him?

    Apollo: If it's not against him, whose it against?

    Rocky: You think it's you against you? I'm speaking the truth here

    Apollo: I don't think I want to hear this

    Rocky: Look, you're a great fighter no doubt about that but we've got to face the facts too, maybe you don't want to believe it but maybe the show's over

    Apollo: That's easy for you to say you're still on top what happens when you're on top then what? Where do we go? Because we sure as hell can't be born again

    Rocky: I know we be born again but let's face it we've got to change

    Apollo: I don't want to change I like who I am

    Rocky: I like who you are too but look at that

    [to the footage]

    Rocky: you don't want to believe this but that's not us anymore we can't do it the way we did it before we're changing, turning into regular people

    Apollo: No maybe you think you're changing but you can't change who you really are and you forget all this money you have around you because it doesn't change a thing we don't even have a choice

  • Rocky: [In the dressing room before the fight against Drago] you look good but just do me a favor, when you go out there try not to wear yourself out

    Apollo: Yeah, wear myself out?

    Rocky: You haven't been in the ring for five years

    Apollo: What are you talking about? You make it sound like I'm an old man. I'm in the best shape of my life I'm quicker, I'm stronger

    Rocky: I'm not saying you're not ready but personally, if it were me, I wouldn't mind postponing it a couple few weeks

    Apollo: Postpone?

    Rocky: Yeah we don't know anything about this guy, you're fighting

    Apollo: Ok let's say I postpone, I step out someone steps in and whips this guy where does that leave me?

    Rocky: What do you mean "leave you", this is just an exhibition bout this doesn't mean anything

    Apollo: No that's where your wrong, it's not just an "exhibition bout" that doesn't mean anything it's us against them

  • Rocky Jr.: [Before Rocky leaves for Russia, while next to each other on his bed] When will you be back?

    Rocky: Pretty soon

    Rocky Jr.: Are you scared?

    Rocky: No

    Rocky Jr.: Not even a little?

    Rocky: Wouldn't you be?

    Rocky Jr.: If a big giant man wanted to beat me up I'd be real scared

    Rocky: Well, the truth is sometimes I do get a little scared when I'm in that ring and when I'm going to get hit or when my arm hurts so much I can't even lift it and I'm thinking I wish this guy hit me in the chin so I won't feel nothing anymore then there's another side that comes out that wants to take more wants to go one more round because if I go one more round when you don't think you can, that makes all the difference in your life

  • Adrian: [Seeing Adrian for the first time in Russia] I couldn't stay away anymore. I missed you.

    Rocky: I missed you.

    Adrian: I'm with you no matter what.

    Rocky: No matter what?

    Adrian: [Nods] No matter what.

  • Rocky Jr.: [while playing with his robot] When can I learn to fight?

    Rocky: [while washing his car] I fight so you don't have to fight because I want you to use your head for something other than a punching bag like I do.

    Rocky Jr.: Your head doesn't look like a punching bag.

    Rocky: No? That's nice, thanks a lot.

    Rocky Jr.: [jokingly] It looks like a catcher's mitt.

    Rocky: [Amused] So, you're a wise guy now?

  • [Tommy Gunn and George Duke show up outside the bar before the climactic fight scene]

    Overweight Drinker: Yo Rock, you need some help?

    Rocky: No, guys; ain't no pie eating contest.

  • Rocky: [to Tommy Gunn] I'm not gunna knock you down this time! I'm gunna put you through the street!

  • Rocky Balboa Jr.: You remember how you were telling me all about deceptions and to watch out for them?

    Rocky: Yeah.

    Rocky Balboa Jr.: You're the one that should have watched out.

  • Rocky: I may not know a winner when I see one, but I sure as hell can spot a loser.

  • Alice: Somebody screamed.

    Rocky: That was you, Alice.

  • [repeated line]

    Rocky: Yowza! Yowza! Yowza!

  • Rocky: It isn't a contest. It's a show.

  • Rocky: That's what were all interested in, isn't it? The show?

    Robert: No, it's a contest. Isn't that what it's supposed to be? Isn't that what you advertised? A contest?

    Rocky: Not for them. For you maybe, but not for them. Do you think they're laying out two bits a throw just to watch you poke your head up into the sunlight or Alice look like she just stepped out of a beauty parlor? They don't give a damn whether you win or James and Ruby or Mario and Jackie or the Man in the Moon and Little Miss Muffet. They just want to see a little misery out there so they can feel a little better maybe. They're entitled to that.

  • Rocky: I have a little notion, kids. Something that could help the show. Something that could benefit all of us and, in particular, could benefit the two of you. And at the same time give the folks out there something to get worked up about.

    Gloria Beatty: What are you gonna do? Put us in cages and have them throw peanuts at us?

    Rocky: No, all kidding aside...

    Gloria Beatty: Who's kidding?

  • Rocky: You know somethin', Turkey? My old man never got out of the fourth grade. When it came to people, he didn't know his ass from his elbow. You know what he was? He was a faith healer. I used to travel the circuit with him. I was the one he healed. I was the shill to get the crowd set up. "Walk, my boy. When I lay my hand on you, you will walk." You will walk. Sodden old bastard. He thought it was him they believed in, but it was me.

  • [last lines]

    Rocky: Here they are again, folks! These wonderful, wonderful kids! Still struggling! Still hoping! As the clock of fate ticks away, the dance of destiny continues! The marathon goes on, and on, and on! HOW LONG CAN THEY LAST?

  • Rocky: The doctor's decision is: Lillian Kramer stays on in the marathon! The doctor's assured me Lillian just has a slight sinus headache.

    Gloria Beatty: Headache. For all that quack knows she's... she's got a brain tumor.

    Robert: No, I don't think so. Only I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's different with a brain tumor. Different symptoms.

    Gloria Beatty: Yeah? How do you know?

    Robert: I saw it in a movie. Anita Louise and Richard Cromwell. That's what she died of. Anita Louise. A brain tumor. But it was different. Everything just suddenly got dim for her one day until finally she couldn't see at all. She couldn't even see Richard Cromwell when she kissed him goodbye.

    Gloria Beatty: Yeah? And well then she just died?

    Robert: Kind of. She just drifted off listening to her favorite tune. And then she was dead.

    Gloria Beatty: No pain or anything? They probably lied.

  • Gloria Beatty: What is this?

    Rocky: Tabs on you and Robert.

    Gloria Beatty: You're charging me this?

    Rocky: Only if you win. If you don't win, you don't pay. I'm not out to cheat anybody.

    Gloria Beatty: Oh, Jesus!

  • Rocky: Oh my gaw, bro! Look!

    [points to Peter's car]

    Rocky: Hey, you want me to go in there and kick her crap for you?

    Murr: Bible says you're not supposed to hit girls, Rocky.

    Peter: Don't Worry Murr. I'm going to keep Rocky on a short leash tonight.

    [Peter gets out of car]

    Murr: Okay, Pee Pee.

    Rocky: Hey I'll be right there, Peter. Got to get my look on.

    [checks himself in the rear-view mirror]

    Rocky: And Murr! You better not start telling me that I can't drink or smoke or pick up women.

    Murr: [long awkward pause] You're going to Hell, Rocky.

  • Billy: [sees Rocky walk by, mustache covered in icing] Hey, mister... did you eat my cake?

    Rocky: What? No. I was in the bathroom.

    Billy: Then what's all over you're mustache?

    Billy's Father: [walking up to meet Billy] Hey Billy. What's the problem, buddy?

    Billy: He ate my cake, dad!

    [points to Rocky]

    Billy's Father: Sir? Did you eat my son's birthday cake?

    Rocky: Listen, man, I said I didn't!

    Billy: Yes you did! You ate my cake and you owe me another cake!

    Rocky: Hey, listen you little butt munch! I didn't eat your cake and I don't owe you another cake!

    Billy's Mother: You have no right to talk to my song that way!

    Rocky: I can talk however I want! I play softball!

  • Rocky: Michelle... this is a tape of me and my last girlfriend.

    Michelle: Oh, Rocky, I'm flattered, but I really don't think that's any of my business!

    Rocky: Huh? Wait, no, this one ain't that. I don't think.

    [reads label]

    Rocky: No. This one ain't that.

  • Rocky: [looking at a picture of Peter's dad with his old softball team] Remember how I'd spend the night almost every Friday just so we could wake up early on Saturday to go watch him play?

    Peter: I remember how I'd want to sleep in and you'd drag me to those games.

    Rocky: Bull, Peter. You loved watching your dad play and you know it. And I'd say it helped, too, because you was looking just like him out there...

    Peter: [grabs Rocky by the shoulders] Look. Just because you loved to watch the man play... doesn't mean everyone else did.

  • Rocky: [at open mic night] Let's see I did a song for Porky's Bar-B-Q Pit, the Sweaty Dog Hair Salon... Hey, I even did one for Mayor Higgins when he was running for mayor last year!

    Mayor Higgins: And that's what everyone says won me another 4 years!

    Rocky: Rock on! Hey I bet you'd have even won if there was someone running against you, too!

    Mayor Higgins: Don't you know it!

  • Rocky: Much obliged. One more jump and they'd have got me.

    Jim Grant: Who were they? Outlaws?

    Rocky: Worse than that - they're the Baron's men.

    Jim Grant: Baron? Around here?

    Rocky: You must be a stranger here. The Baron is a character by the name of Ulrich. He owns all the land - well, claims he does anyhow - from here to the California line. Runs it like a baron, which he likes to be called. And his men will shoot anyone on sight who sets foot on it.

    Jim Grant: Do they hold up stagecoaches, too?

    Rocky: I wouldn't put it past him.

  • Jim Grant: I think I'll have a look at this Baron's layout.

    Rocky: You ain't carin' to live no longer?

    Jim Grant: I saw you come out of there.

    Rocky: Oh, I been prospectin' so long I lost whatever sense I started with.

  • Rocky: A man's entitled to one mistake.

    Jim Grant: Unless it's his last.

    Rocky: Now let me tell you something.

    Jim Grant: Go ahead.

    Rocky: I found the meteor.

    Carol Lane: The one with the diamonds in it? Then your fortune's made.

    Rocky: No, it tain't. The cussed thing's in a hole 60 feet wide. It's harder than glass and must way 80 million tons. How am I goin' to dig that out?
