Quotes 

• Tommy Gunn : [as Rocky goes back into the bar]  Hey! Hey! I'm not done talking to you yet.

  Rocky Balboa : Hey, look, Tommy, I ain't got no more to say to you, okay? Look, I just want good things...

  Tommy Gunn : Aw, hell you did, man! You're only in this for the money!

  Rocky Balboa : Money?

  Tommy Gunn : Yeah, I'm tired of walking in your shadow, man! I'm tired of people callin' me a robot!

  Rocky Balboa : You thought I was in this for the money? We were supposed to be like... brothers. You've got a deception going here! He was using you for the bait! He wants to get you and me in the ring, that's what he wants, us to fight each other, you know? To make the money, right?

  [Duke snickers next to Tommy, who shrugs at Rocky] 

  Rocky Balboa : He don't care about you, Tommy, he don't care about me, neither.

  George W. Duke : [cutting in]  Come on, come on! Enough with the fantasy, let's talk reality! Rocky Balboa, are you prepared to accept Tommy Gunn's challenge?

  Paulie : [gets Rocky away and turns to Tommy]  Tommy, you're a peice of garbage, you know that?

  Tommy Gunn : Hey, this ain't none of your business!

  Paulie : Ain't none of my business? Ain't none of my business?

  [Rocky tries to restrain him] 

  Paulie : The man spit blood for you, put you ahead of his own family, and you bring these rat bums around here? To kill his dignity? Rocko made you your shot. He's the real champ. You're just a joke.

  [Paulie pushes, and then gets punched by Tommy, who is then restrained by Duke and other people; Rocky comes back to console Paulie] 

  Paulie : [to Rocky]  You should've left him on street where you found him.

  Rocky Balboa : [to Tommy]  Hey! You knock him down how 'bout tryin' knockin' *me* down.

  George W. Duke : No, no. In the ring. In the ring. Tommy only fights in the ring.

  Rocky Balboa : My ring's outside.

• Paulie : He says he wants to fight. I told him to get married.

  Rocky Balboa : Why?

  Paulie : That's gym humor, Rocko.

• George W. Duke : It's like your Mark Twain once said - "Virtue has never been as respectable as money money."

  Paulie : Who's Twain?

  Rocky Balboa : He was a painter.

• Paulie : [about Tommy]  He stinks of opportunity, Rock.

• Paulie : [When he sees George Duke with Tommy Gunn]  Your ship is sinkin', Rock.

• Rocky Balboa : [stepping outside the bar responding to Tommy's challenge]  Yo, Tommy, what are you doing here? You oughta' be out there, uh, celebrating, right?

  Tommy Gunn : [points threateningly at Rocky]  I'm challenging you to a fight! Anytime, anyplace, anywhere!

  Rocky Balboa : Fight?

  Tommy Gunn : That's right!

  Rocky Balboa : You're coming down here with these people, asking me if I want to throw hands with you?

  Tommy Gunn : Yeah, that's what it's about! And I ain't nobody's robot! Nobody's boy! Now, do you accept the challenge, or are you yellow?

  Paulie : [to Rocky]  Hey... he has no class. Come on, Rock. No class! Come on...

  [he and Rocky step back inside the bar] 

• Paulie : You can some things! Remember those commercials?

  Rocky Balboa : Hey yo Paulie, I ain't no commercial kind of guy. I'm a fighter, it's what I do for a living!
