Quotes 

  • Rocky Balboa : It's Apollo.

    Mickey : Who were you expecting?

    Rocky Balboa : I was hoping he wouldn't show

  • Mickey : Hey Rock. It's three in the morning. I went up to your house there and they told me you was here. It's 3am, kid. You know that Adrian, she's a good girl. Me, you know I'm sorry for both of ya. There's nothing I can do about it. Except, uh, I wanna tell you this once and then, uh, I ain't gonna say it again. But Rock, you got another shot. This is the second shot. At, uh, I don't know the biggest title in the world, and you're gonna be swappin' punches with, with the most dangerous fighter in the world. And just in case, you know your brain ain't workin' so good. All this happens pretty soon and you ain't ready. You know you're no where near in shape. So I say, for God's sake, why don't you stand up and fight this guy HARD? Like you done before, that was beautiful! But don't lay down like this! Like, uh, I don't know, like some kind of mongrel or something. Cause he's gonna kick your face in pieces! That's right! This guy don't just wanna win, you know, he wants to bury ya, he wants to humiliate ya, he wants to prove to the whole world that you was nothin but some kind of a freak the first time out. He said you were a one time lucky bum! Well now I don't wanna get mad in a biblical place like this, but I think you're a hell of a lot more than that kid! A hell of a lot! But now wait a minute, if you wanna blow this thing, if you wanna blow it, then damn it I'm gonna blow it with ya. If you wanna stay here, I'll stay with ya. I stay with ya. I'll stay and pray. What do I got to lose?

  • Rocky Balboa : [after round 1 of the rematch with Creed]  I can't believe it!

    Mickey : What?

    Rocky Balboa : He broke my nose again.

  • [During Rocky's retraining] 

    Mickey : You're gonna eat lightnin'; you're gonna crap thunder.

  • [Rocky and Mickey are watching the film of the first fight] 

    Mickey : Left handed fighters, they're the worst. They lead with their face mostly, trying to throw that big left. Right's no damn good. They ought to outlaw southpaws.

    Rocky Balboa : Why didn't you tell me this before?

    Mickey : I didn't wanna hurt your feelings.

  • Rocky Balboa : [noticing Mickey's hearing aid]  What's that in your ear there?

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

  • Reporter : Rocky, your pay for the fight will be very substantial. What will you do with the money?

    Rocky Balboa : Well, the first thing I gotta do is I gotta pay the rent. And then I made this list on our way over here. I'd like to buy a couple hats, a motorcycle, a couple quarts of perfume for Adrian, she likes to smell good. And some muppet toys... you know, Ernie, Big Bird. And the frog, what's his name? Kermit?

    Mickey : Yeah.

    Rocky Balboa : And I thought maybe a statue for the church, and a snow cone machine for you, Paulie. You like snow cones, right?

    Reporter : Rocky, do you have something derogatory to say about the champ?

    Rocky Balboa : Derogatory? Yeah, he's great.

  • Mickey : [after slapping Rocky in the face with his left hand]  Now you didn't even see that comin', did ya? And that's comin' from a broken down punk like me. What... what do ya think the champ would do to ya?

    Rocky Balboa : Hurt me bad, I guess...

    Mickey : Na, he'd hurt ya permanent. *Permanent*!

  • Mickey : Why do you have to wear that stinkin' sweatsuit?

    Rocky Balboa : It brings me luck, you know?

    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!

  • [an exhausted Rocky lands a knockout punch at Apollo but sends them both falling onto the ring] 

    Adrian Pennino : [shocked]  Oh!

    Referee : 1. 2. 3.

    Bill Baldwin : If he gets up, Creed will regain the title! If neither of them gets up, it's a draw and Creed will win the title automatically! The count...

    Referee : 4...

    Tony 'Duke' Evers : [calling to Apollo]  Get up, my Man!

    Mickey Goldmill : GET ON YOUR FEET!

    Adrian Pennino : [whispers]  Get up.

    Referee : [Pandemonium in the stadium grows]  5. 6. 7.

    Paulie Pennino : [Screams]  Get up!

    Referee : 8.

    Mary Anne Creed : GET UP!

    Referee : 9...

    [Apollo collapses; Mary Anne moans] 

    Referee : [Rocky at the last second stands up]  10. YOU'RE OUT!

    [Paulie and Adrian screams in happiness; Mickey yells] 

    Bill Baldwin : He made it at the last second! Rocky Balboa has shocked the world! He is the new heavyweight champion of the world!

  • Mickey : This guy don't just want to win, you know. He wants to bury you, he wants to humiliate you, he wants to prove to the whole world that you was nothing but some kind of a... a freak the first time out.

  • Mickey : Who the hell is that?

    Rocky Balboa : Avon lady.

  • Mickey : What's 'can't'? There ain't no 'can'ts'! There's no 'can'ts'!

  • Mickey : [Standing to his feet after Adrian tells Rocky to win]  What are we waiting for!

  • [Rocky is punching the heavy bag] 

    Rocky Balboa : Three, four...

    Mickey : Now remember, I want 500 hard ones. Go!

    Rocky Balboa : Where was I, seven or eight?

  • Mickey : Listen, he's only a man. You can beat him because you're a tank. You're a greasy, fast, 200-pound Italian tank.
