Apollo's Trainer
- [to Apollo, about a rematch with Rocky]
- Duke: He's all wrong for us, baby. I saw you beat that man like I never saw no man get beat before, and the man kept coming after you. Now we don't need no man like that in our lives.
- Duke: [after round 1 of rematch with Balboa who is fighting right handed] Alright, did the switching bother ya?
- Apollo: Nothin' bothered me, man, nothin' bothered me.
- Duke: Well then, you should've had him! Now don't let up on this man. This man is dangerous. This man is DANGEROUS!
- Apollo: This man is dangerous? I'm dangerous! I'm dangerous!
- [an exhausted Rocky lands a knockout punch at Apollo but sends them both falling onto the ring]
- Adrian Pennino: [shocked] Oh!
- Referee: 1. 2. 3.
- Bill Baldwin: If he gets up, Creed will regain the title! If neither of them gets up, it's a draw and Creed will win the title automatically! The count...
- Referee: 4...
- Tony 'Duke' Evers: [calling to Apollo] Get up, my Man!
- Mickey Goldmill: GET ON YOUR FEET!
- Adrian Pennino: [whispers] Get up.
- Referee: [Pandemonium in the stadium grows] 5. 6. 7.
- Paulie Pennino: [Screams] Get up!
- Referee: 8.
- Mary Anne Creed: GET UP!
- Referee: 9...
- [Apollo collapses; Mary Anne moans]
- Referee: [Rocky at the last second stands up] 10. YOU'RE OUT!
- [Paulie and Adrian screams in happiness; Mickey yells]
- Bill Baldwin: He made it at the last second! Rocky Balboa has shocked the world! He is the new heavyweight champion of the world!
- [Duke, Apollo's trainer, is finishing putting tape around Apollo's arm]
- Duke: [whispers and growls] You're the Man. You're number one. The Champ, the best of all time. Girls love you - Men, old people love you. Young people love you. You're the best. You're the Man, and he's yours. He's yours, he's yours. This bum shouldn't be in the same ring with you. I want you to show him who you are tonight.
- [Apollo practices punching on his right hand]
- Duke: Show him who you are tonight. Stick him!
