• Apollo's Trainer : He doesn't know it's a damn show! He thinks it's a damn fight!

• [Apollo is looking through a book of Philadelphia boxers] 

  Jergens : What exactly are you looking for Apollo?

  Apollo : [pointing at a profile in the book]  This is who I'm looking for. The Italian Stallion.

  Jergens : Rocky Balboa? Never heard of him.

  Apollo : Look it's the name man. The I-talian Stallion. The media will eat it up. Now who discovered America? An Italian right? What better way to get it on than with one of its descendants?

  Apollo's Trainer : He's a southpaw. I don't want you messing with southpaws. They do everything backwards

  Apollo : Southpaw nothing. I'll drop him in three. Apollo Creed meets the Italian Stallion. Now that sounds like a damn monster movie.

• Apollo's Trainer : Hey, champ, you oughta come and look at this boy you're gonna fight on TV. It looks like he means business.

  Apollo : Yeah, yeah. I mean business too.
