Dialogue

Female Reporter: Rocky, is the decision final? Rocky: Yes. Male Reporter #1: Is this the first time the champion has given up his crown? Rocky: I don't know about that. Male Reporter #2: Doesn't the title matter? Rocky: Not until this is over. Male Reporter #3: Considering Rocky's punching power, do you still expect an easy fight? Rimsky: Yes, of course. Nicolai Koloff: It's a matter of size and...evolution. Isn't it, gentlemen? Drago is the most perfectly trained athlete ever. This other man has not the size, or the endurance, or the genetics to win. It's physically impossible for this little man to win. Drago...is a look at the future. Male Reporter #4: Champ, how much are you making for this fight? Rocky: No money. It's not about money. Female Reporter: Has the fight date been set yet? Rocky: December 25th. Male Reporter #1: Why Christmas? Rocky: That's what I was told. Female Reporter: Where? Rocky: ...It's in Russia. Paulie: Are you nuts? Male Reporter #2: Rocky, what's going on?

Dialogue

Adrian: Rocky? Rocky: Yeah? Adrian: You alright? Rocky: Yeah I'm fine. Adrian: Why'd you do it? Rocky: I just gotta do what I gotta do. Adrian: You don't have to do anything Rocky: No, Adrian, I do and I gotta leave this place too. Adrian: So where are you going? Rocky: They said they're gonna let me train in Russia and I just want to be somewhere where I ain't gonna think about nothing except him. Adrian: Rocky, give it some time. Don't do this. A lot of people live with hurt. Rocky: A lot of people don't have a choice, Adrian, I do. Adrian: And for that you're willing to lose everything? Rocky: Adrian this isn't everything. The house, the cars and all the stuff we got. That ain't everything. There's a lot more than this, Adrian. Adrian: Before there were reasons to fight I could understand. But I don't understand this. Even if you win, what have you won? Apollo's still gone. Why can't you change your thinking? Everybody else does. Rocky: Cause I'm a fighter! That's how I'm made, Adri

Dialogue

Rocky Jr.: [Before Rocky leaves for Russia] When will you be back? Rocky: Pretty soon. Rocky Jr.: Are you scared? Rocky: No. Rocky Jr.: Not even a little? Rocky: Wouldn't you be? Rocky Jr.: If a big giant man wanted to beat me up I'd be real scared. Rocky: Well, the truth is sometimes I do get a little scared when I'm in that ring and when I'm going to get hit or when my arm hurts so much I can't even lift it and I'm thinking I wish this guy hit me in the chin so I won't feel nothing anymore then there's another side that comes out that wants to take more wants to go one more round because if I go one more round when you don't think you can, that makes all the difference in your life.
