    Mickey : What it is, is I hear stupid things better.

    Adrian : It's good.

    Rocky Balboa : Yeah?

    Adrian : Mmmhmm.

    Rocky Balboa : Ya know, bein' a good reader's gonna help me get a good office job, ya know. Wanna hear some more?

    Mickey : Brings you luck! I'll tell you what it brings, it brings flies! Now here's what I want you to do... I want you to chase this little chicken.

    Rocky Balboa : Hey yo, Mick, what do I got to chase a chicken for?

    Mickey : First, because I said so. And second, is because chicken-chasing is how we used to train back in the old days. If you can catch this thing, you can catch greased lighting.

    Rocky Balboa : Well, I'll do it if you say so, but it ain't very mature.

    Mickey : Yeah, well neither are you very mature!

    Gazo : How am *I* doin'? No, how are you doin'? I heard you was workin' in this dump. What are you doin', Rock? Give it to me straight, Rock.

    Rocky Balboa : You know, I'm sweepin' up, makin' a few bucks here and there.

    Gazo : You ain't no janitor, Rock. You don't need a job like this. Besides, you're Italian. Now you come back and work for me, Rock.

    Rocky Balboa : Yeah, well, what would I be doin'? You mean like, uh, you know, collectin' or somethin'?

    Gazo : What else? Look, you come back, work on the docks, get some fresh air. It stinks in here.

    Rocky Balboa : Yo, Tony, I appreciate the offer, but, uh, I can't do that stuff no more.

    Gazo : It's healthy, huh? Well, look, I gotta go. Take it easy, huh, champ.

    Rocky Balboa : Yeah, see ya around.

    Gazo : [pointing to a cardboard cutout of Rocky on the wall when he was a fighter]  Remember that guy, Rock?
