Quotes 

• Lew Nyack : What did you think when you read all that phony publicity about yourself?

  Walter Gulick : You mean about the 17 knockouts?

  Lew Nyack : Yeah.

  Walter Gulick : At first I kinda felt sorry for Willy.

  Lew Nyack : Sorry for him?

  Walter Gulick : He's not a bad guy, Lew. Maybe he's got reason for being a liar. It'd be nice if we can help him out.

  Lew Nyack : Help HIM out? Well how about YOU?

  [points to a losing boxer being carried to a stretcher] 

  Lew Nyack : Look at that! Suppose you step out there in that ring and Ezzard Bailey separates you from what little brains you got left? Huh?

  Walter Gulick : Yeah, I've been thinking about that too.

• Lew Nyack : Hey Walter! In case you want to duck once in a while, it ain't against the rules!

  Dolly Fletcher : This sort of thing is legal?

  Willy Grogan : You don't need a license to be stupid. I'll lay you 3-to-1 the kid don't last a round.

• Rose Grogan : Are you a fighter?

  Walter Gulick : Not really. A lot of people have different ideas about it though.

  Rose Grogan : I see.

  Walter Gulick : Do you belong up here?

  [Chuckles] 

  Walter Gulick : Uh, I mean uh, I've never seen you around before.

  Rose Grogan : I'm Willy's sister.

  Walter Gulick : You are?

  [chuckles] 

  Rose Grogan : What's funny?

  Walter Gulick : Nothing. Nothing at all.

  Lew Nyack : [from outside]  GALAHAD! HEY GALAHAD!

  Rose Grogan : Who's Galahad?

  Walter Gulick : That's me. Excuse me. Nice to have met you.

  Rose Grogan : Thank you.

• Otto Danzig : Here's $500 to help you get lost. They'll be somebody else in Galahad's corner. Someone who'll know what to do. Someone who'll make sure that he bleeds. That'll open up the cuts instead of closing them. Any bright ideas?

  Lew Nyack : Yeah, I got a bright idea. It's what you can do with this $500.

  [Lew throws the $500 cash back at Otto] 

• Willy Grogan : Lew!

  Marvin : We've been having a quiet, kind of professional talk in here with him.

  Willy Grogan : What happened?

  Lew Nyack : [in pain from 2 sore mangled hands]  Otto was here. So's I wouldn't be any help to Galahad... they busted my hands.

  Willy Grogan : Otto?

  Marvin : We're an old established firm that can't afford to take chances.

  Willy Grogan : Who? Who?

  Ralphie : I was never a shy one, Willy.

• Lew Nyack : [instructing Galahad from outside the ring during the final winning round of the fight against Sugar Boy Romero]  Kid, listen to me. He's bound to start throwing left hooks sooner or later. Now when he does, straighten him out with a left, then cross him with your right. You hear?

• Dolly Fletcher : [as Maynard carves up the corned beef]  You think I did all right?

  Maynard : You cooked this great. It cuts real fine!

  Willy Grogan : [as Willy and Lew walk in the kitchen arguing about Rose's whereabouts]  Let's get one thing settled, Lew. Exactly what time was it when you saw Rose leave the picnic?

  Lew Nyack : I told you before, 6:30, quarter to 7, 10 to 7 - I didn't make a note of it.

  Dolly Fletcher : [as Dolly and Lew munch on some of Maynard's corned beef]  What's all the commotion about? She was with Galahad, wasn't she?

  Willy Grogan : I know who she was with. And I'll tell you something else I know: It's 20 minutes to 9.

  Dolly Fletcher : Could she be safer with the F.B.I.?

  Willy Grogan : Which way were they going?

  Lew Nyack : I told you that before too, back towards the village.

  Willy Grogan : You sure?

  Lew Nyack : Man, how could anybody not recognize that jalopy? It's the same color as a bloody nose!

  Willy Grogan : Very funny. How would you like one?

  Dolly Fletcher : Little father!

• Lew Nyack : Please, Dolly, I got 10 human tigers out there waiting for my fatherly advice. You know, there ain't nothing worse than a suspicious dame first thing in the morning.

• Lew Nyack : There ain't nothing the matter with me. Look,see? Bag of sunbeams every morning.

• Lew Nyack : Galahad was a knight in a tin suit. A hero with a halo. You understand that? Very courteous to broads, as I remember.

• Lew Nyack : You were doing all right, dancing around with a welterweight, with speed. But now I've got a guy coming into the ring with six hands and a buggy whip. It's his job to slap you silly till you're really in shape.
