Rocky II Quotes

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.

Rocky Balboa: Do I know how to drive?
Adrian: Do you know how to drive?
Rocky

Balboa: I'm one of the greats. Are you kidding? C'mon, I'll drive you. Let me put you inside the car. This will just be like Cinderella and the pumpkin, you know?

Rocky Balboa: Do I know how to drive? I drive airplanes and bulldozers. I'll drive you crazy if you give me a chance. You know what I mean?

Apollo: [Apollo is reading fan mail] Mary Anne, you listen to this. "You didn't beat nobody and anybody who knows boxing knows the fight was fixed." This one came from London. "You call yourself the champ? You're a fake! The fight was a fake. Go kill yourself!"
Mary Anne Creed: Wouldn't you rather play with the children than read hate mail?

Apollo: "How much did you get to carry that bum for 15 rounds? You are a disgrace to your people."
Mary Anne Creed: Why can't you ignore it?
Apollo: Are you serious?
[Tosses the mail away in anger]

Rocky Balboa: You know, I'm sweepin' up, makin' a few bucks here and there.

Gazo: You ain't no janitor, Rock. You don't need a job like this. Besides, you're Italian. Now you come back and work for me, Rock.
Rocky Balboa: Yeah, well, what would I be doin'? You mean like, uh, you know, collectin' or somethin'?
Gazo: What else? Look, you come back, work on the docks, get some fresh air. It stinks in here.

Rocky Balboa: Yo, Tony, I appreciate the offer, but, uh, I can't do that stuff no more.
