Christopher Rodriguez Marquette: Tim

Quotes 

• Andrew : Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time. No question about it. But when it came to the most important fight of his entire life, he never raised a hand to anybody.

  Tim : You mean he lost?

  Andrew : Nah. He won. Just not in the way you think. You see, Ali was asked to fight in a war. And he believed that God didn't want him to kill another man. So he fought for what he believed in. And he was even willing to go to jail for it, if he had to.

  Tim : Well, what happened?

  Andrew : They took away his heavyweight title.

  Tim : No.

  Andrew : Yeah. They took away the one thing he had fought all his life for, but they couldn't take away the thing that was most important to him. So if you wanna be like Muhammad Ali then maybe, you oughta start findin' out what's important to you.

• Tim : I love my brother. And i love you. So things have gotta change.

  Frank : [stunned]  Did you just say you love me?

  Tim : [Nods]  Yeah. And maybe you dunno it yet, but you love us too. So you gotta start showin' it.

• Tess : My name is Tess. This is my gym.

  Tim : Well, who's Gronsky?

  Tess : There is no Gronsky, but it sounds good, doesn't it?

• Kenny : You bein' disrespectful to my little brother?

  Tim : What do you care; you hate 'im anyway.

• Tim : Did you steal those?

  Andrew : No. I just haven't, uh... plugged in the refrigerator yet.

  Tim : Man, you are so weird.

  Andrew : Thank you.

• Tim : I hate everybody and everybody hates me!

  Andrew : That's not true. That's not true; somebody loves you.

  Tim : Yeah, who?

  Andrew : God loves you. He made you, Tim; he knows you. And he knows what it's gonna take to get you to believe in Him.

• Tess : Mr. Ali is a friend of ours, Tim. And I'm an angel. Just like Andrew, and Rafael.

  Tim : An angel? Like a dead person?

  Tess : Oh, no, like a live angel. Created for a purpose.
