Bruce Lee : You're the one with the big mouth, and I would really enjoy closing it, especially in front of all my friends. But my hands are registered as lethal weapons. That means, we get into a fight, I accidentally kill you? I go to jail.
Cliff Booth : Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It's called manslaughter. I think all that lethal weapon horseshit is just an excuse so you dancers never have to get in a real fight.

Bruce Lee : You know, you're kinda pretty for a stuntman.
Cliff Booth : That's what they tell me.
-
Bruce Lee : Did I say something funny, stuntman?
Cliff Booth : Yeah, you kind of did.

Randy : What's up, babe?
Janet : What's up, Randy, is that your loser arsehole, wife-killing buddy boy here was beating the shit out of Bruce!
Randy : What?
Cliff Booth : Hey, Randy.
Randy : Cliff! What the fuck, man!
Bruce Lee : Let me just say, nobody beat the shit out of Bruce. It was a friendly contest. He barely touched me.

Bruce Lee : Now, I admire Cassius Clay. I do. What I admire is - in his sport there's an element of true combat. When Cassius Clay meets Sonny Liston in the ring, that's not two athletes posturing. That's combat. Two men trying to kill each other right now. If you don't beat him, he kills you. That's beyond athletics. That's beyond 'Wide World of Sports,' you know. That's two warriors engaged in combat. That's what I admire. In martial arts tournaments, they won't let you fight like that. It's very frustrating. You stand in front of a guy, you just want to let him have it! But you can't. So, you got to do this play-acting patty cake version. Cassius Clay, Sonny Liston, Joe Louis. The colored boxer, not that white kickboxing asshole. They do what they need to do to win. They unleash as much punishment as they have to - to defeat the other guy. But, in martial arts tournaments, I do to win what they do to win. I unleash all my power. I kill people.

Allen Kincade : [about Cliff Booth] That guy's kind of famous.
Bruce Lee : Oh yeah? What'd he do?
