And by God and by golly, you'll do it smilin', lad, 'cause you'll like it. You'll like it 'cause I says you will! Contradict me again, and I'll dock your wages."

"Who are you again, Tommy? I'm probably a figment of yer imagination. This rock is a figment of yer imagination, too. Yer probably wanderin' through a grove of tag alders, up north in Canady, like a frostbitten maniac talkin' to yerself, knee-deep in the snow, the blizzard overtakin' ye."

"Little Donnie ain't got nothin'. He a coward. You a coward, bro, and a fraud. I know it. Everybody else know it. Aye, Apollo Creed would be ashamed."

"Bianca: I know that you think you are protecting our baby, but she has got to know why she wants to fight, not just how to do it."

"If Apollo Creed could take a chance on some underdog, why can't you?"

"Tony "Little Duke" Evers Jr.: He's telling you who he is, right? Believe him."

"Oh, you mad? You mad? Try spending half your life in a cell, watching somebody else live your life. You turned your back on me."

"You don't know what it's like, bro. All that time in them... them walls. Impossible. They take your name and they gi-- they give you a number. That's how it start. I was the best, though."

"Tony "Little Duke" Evers Jr.: Listen to me. You out there boxing. I need you to start fighting. [...] Let go of the fear! You hear me? Let go of the guilt. Let go of it, dawg!

"Lyudmila. (crying) And what did you say: "It is impossible to fall in love at our age, you see all the flaws in a person.""

"Nikolai. (very drunken) You said that if the wife has a higher salary, this is not a family. Well, how can she confess something!"

"Gosha. (sitting in suburb train vis-a-vis Katerina, with very dirty shoes) Yes. I can't stand dirty shoes myself."

"Katerina. If I don’t wear a wedding ring, that doesn’t mean anything."

"Alexandra. Who is he?"

"Katerina. What if they ask me something? I'll blurt out."
