Quotes 

• Dempsey : Ever hear of Jack Dempsey?

  Horse Johnson : 'Course I have.

  Dempsey : I wanna show you something.

  [hands him an old newspaper clipping] 

  Horse Johnson : Who's the other bloke?

  Dempsey : Mike Dempsey. My grandfather.

  Horse Johnson : Were you related?

  Dempsey : Yeah... I was his grandson.

  Horse Johnson : What, to Jack?

  Dempsey : No, to Mike.

  [hands back the clipping] 

  Dempsey : It's a coincidence. See, they, they're sparring partners.

  Horse Johnson : Mike did win the golden gloves, though. I never used them.

  [puts up his dukes] 

  Horse Johnson : That must be something, fighting with your bare hands.

  Dempsey : Yeah, I quite enjoyed it.
