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.


Apollo Creed: Stay in school and use your brain. Be a doctor, be a lawyer, carry a leather briefcase. Forget about sports as a profession. Sports make ya grunt and smell. See, be a thinker, not a stinker.


Mickey: Your nose is broken.
Rocky: How does it look?
Mickey: Ah, it's an improvement.


Adrian: Why do you wanna fight?
Rocky: Because I can't sing or dance.

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

Rocky: I'm thirty myself!


Apollo Creed: Apollo Creed vs. the Italian Stallion. Sounds like a damn monster movie.


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: [Upon seeing Apollo Creed] He looks like a big flag.


Bartender: You want me to take a shot? All right. [Pours himself a drink]
Bartender: I'll take a shot!


Mickey: Get out of here! Don't ya ever interrupt me while I'm conductin' business. Move your little chicken asses out.


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

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


Paulie: You do that to Apollo Creed, they'll put us in jail for murder.


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


Fight Announcer: What is keeping him up Bill, I dont know.
