Lew Nyack: Hey Walter! In case you want to duck once in a while, it ain't against the rules!
Dolly Fletcher: This sort of thing is legal?
Willy Grogan: You don't need a license to be stupid. I'll lay you 3-to-1 the kid don't last a round.
Willy Grogan: I'm supposed to roll out the champagne?
Walter Gulick: Roll out the champagne or stale beer. I don't care what you roll out.
Willy Grogan: Nobody asked you to come here. All you had were your empty pockets and a shine on the seat of your pants.
Willy Grogan: Reorganization? Rose, honey, I'll be patient. The fact is, you couldn't reorganize the part in your hair unless I drew you a map.
Howie Zimmerman: What happened to the convertible?
Willy Grogan: I loaned it to an Arab. He was on his way to a picnic, and his camel had trouble with its valves.
Willy Grogan: Make sure this pigeon don't get away.
Willy Grogan: All I can tell you sharpshooters right now is that Galahad will be expensive.
Harry Sperling: We didn't expect to pay the boy off in green stamps.
Max Lieberman: A suggestion was made that this year, over the Labor Day weekend, we might sponsor a boxing show.
Willy Grogan: With Galahad?
Max Lieberman: No, with Max Schmeling. Who else?
Willy Grogan: Never mind how nice he is. I hear enough of that from Dolly. I told her the only important thing about him is, he's got an ax in his right hand, and a bowling ball for a head.
Rocky: It isn't a contest. It's a show.
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.
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?
