• Davy : Don't you want me to be rich and famous?

  Peter : I'd rather have you alive and well.

  Mike : Yeah, Besides, you don't know anything about boxing!

  Peter : Yeah.

  Davy : That's not so! I used to be quite a scrapper at school, y'know. There was this one big bully, always used to be pickin' on me, so one day I went wham-o! with a right and wham-o! with a left!

  Mike : And what then, what happened?

  Davy : She never bothered me again.

• Mike : Now, listen man, you're going to be going to a lot of strange cities. And there's always one hotel. A lot of gambling and drinking, and a lotta fast women, and a lotta loose talk. Now you know what you do when you get to town?

  Davy : Find that hotel.

  Mike : You'll do fine.

• Micky : You are the champ, aren't you?

  The Champ : I work and train the whole day through! So, buddy, I'm not number two.

  Mike : He's the champ.

  Micky : He's the champ.

• The Champ : Tell me true and don't make no bones, how was your fight with Davy Jones?

  Mike : [Peter throws Mike a puzzled look]  Don't worry, he always talks that way, just...

  Peter : It was a split decision. He split my eye, he split my nose and he split my lip.
