Ali (film)

"[reacting to potential fallout over his comments about the Vietcong] So what? So what? I ain't got to be what nobody else want me to be and I ain't afraid to be what I wanna be."

"[walking with reporters over his draft-evasion charges] I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for four or five more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home!"

"One thousand dollars to the man who brings me Howard Cosell's toupee, dead or alive."

"[Rumble in the Jungle, end of 7th Round, talking to himself towards George Foreman] Can't let you get that second wind which you don't even know is there for you. You want the title? Want to wear the heavyweight crown? Nose broke, jaw smashed, face busted in? You ready for that? Is that you? 'Cause you facing a man who will die before he lets you win."

"Belinda/Khalilah Ali: [talking about Don King's reputation] Don King talks black, lives white and thinks green."

"Don King: Muhammad Ali, the People's Champion, my black brother! I need you. I need your strength. I need you to find a way to get George to stay. Be Moses in reverse - do NOT let my people go. Keep them the fuck right here, in Egypt, if you pardon my Swahili."
