Rocky V

Tommy Gunn:
Hey, you don't know me! Nobody does! I want my respect.

Rocky Balboa:
Well come and get it!

Mickey:
Get up you son of a b*tch! 'Cause Mickey loves you!

Tommy Gunn:
Why don't you become my manager?

Rocky Balboa:
Manager? I ain't never been manager! The gentleman who owned this place was a manager! But me I was always the managed... guy.

George W. Duke:
God Damn! Only in America!

Adrian:
All those beatings you took in the ring, I took them with you! I know how you feel! I know when somebody like Tommy comes along, you feel alive. But he's not you, he doesn't have your heart! All those fighters you beat, you beat them with heart, not muscle. That's what Mickey knew, that's why Mickey and you were special. But Mickey's dead! If there's something that you want to pass on, pass it on to your son! For God's sakes, your son is lost! He needs you! I know Tommy makes you feel great-he makes you feel like you're winning again. But you're losing us! Rocky, you're losing your family!

Mickey:
You know, kid, I know how you feel about this fight that's comin' up, because I was young once too. And I tell you somethin': Well, if you wasn't here, I probably wouldn't be alive today. The fact that you're here and doin' as well as you're doin' gives me, what do you call it, a "motivization," huh, to stay alive? 'Cause I think that people die sometimes when they don't wanna live no more.

Rocky Balboa:
Nature's smarter than people think.

Mickey:
And nature is smarter than people think. Little by little, we lose our friends, we lose everything. We keep losing and losing till we say, you know, "What the hell am I livin' around here for? I got no reason to go on." But with you, kid, boy, I got a reason to go on. And I'm gonna stay alive, and I will watch you make good.

Rocky Balboa:
And I'll never leave you.

Mickey:
And I'll never leave you until that happens. 'Cause when I leave you, you'll not only know how to fight, you'll be able to take care of yourself outside the ring too. Is that okay?

Rocky Balboa:
It's okay.

Tommy Gunn:
I'm nobody's puppet! Nobody's boy!

Rocky Balboa Jr.:
You remember how you were telling me all about deceptions and to watch out for them?

Rocky Balboa Jr.:
You're the one that should have watched out.

[Tommy storms off the post-match press conference in disgust after being criticized by the press]

Tommy Gunn:
What the hell happened in there? I won the damn title and they think I'm a bum! Why didn't you back me up?

Merlin Sheets:
When the press is right, they're right.

Tommy Gunn:
I'm as good as Balboa ever was and I'm tired of being called a damn robot!

Merlin Sheets:
Listen, Tommy. You can't fight the press. I can't fight them. As long as they got Balboa on the brain, he's champ. He fought wars in the ring. Tommy, face facts. You're in his shadow.

Tommy Gunn:
[to George while pointing to Merlin] This is your own man talking!

George Washington Duke:
Listen to me. There is a way to get the respect you deserve. Challenge Balboa to fight.

Merlin Sheets:
George could set it up in just weeks. It'd be the greatest fight ever.

George Washington Duke:
Teacher against student, old lion against young lion. That's the only way you ever gonna get peace of mind. That press will hound you with that man's legend for as long as you wear gloves. You gotta get him into that ring, Tommy, or you'll keep hearing questions like that. Then you'll start to ask yourself, "Could I take him? Am I good enough? Do people really think I'm a carbon copy, or a second-rate pretender who only got a shot because of my skin tone?" You've got to challenge that man to a fight, Tommy Gunn. And if he refuses, you gotta insult him, you gotta dog him, you gotta humiliate him! You gotta do whatever you got to do to get him into that ring! But that's what you got to do.

Barfly:
Hey Rock, need some help?

Rocky:
Come on guys. This ain't no pie-eatin' contest.

[Tommy has just punched out Paulie]

Rocky:
Now you knocked him down, why don't you try knocking me down?

George Washington Duke:
No, no! In the ring, in the ring! Tommy Gunn only fights in the ring! Let's get outta here!

Rocky:
My ring's outside.

[Rocky confronts George Washington Duke after beating Tommy Gunn to a pulp]

George Washington Duke:
Touch me and I'll sue. [taunts further] C'mon pug, touch me and I'll sue.

[Rocky hesitates but fires an uppercut that sends Duke flying onto his car]

Rocky:
Sue me for what? [leaves to a cheering crowd]

Father Carmine:
Hey Rocky! That's my boy a!

Rocky:
Hey yo Father.

Father Carmine:
[as he gives Rocky with the sign of the cross] Veni, vidi, vici.

Rocky:
[to Adrian] I love it when he does that.

Rocky:
You see, fear is a fighter's best friend. You know, but it ain't nothing to be ashamed of. See, fear keeps you sharp, it keeps you awake, you know, it makes you want to survive. You know what I mean? But the thing is, you gotta learn how to control it. All right? 'Cause fear is like this fire, all right? And it's burning deep inside. Now, if you control it, Tommy, it's gonna make you hot. But, you see, if this thing here, it controls you, it's gonna burn you and everything else around you up. That's right, you know?
