I was in magazines. You think I ever dreamed that'd happen? I was born two pounds, one-and-a-half ounces. Daddy used to tell me I'd fight my way into this world, and I'd fight my way out. That's all I wanna do, Frankie. I just don't wanna fight you to do it. I got what I needed. I got it all. Don't let 'em keep taking it away from me.

Other truth is, my brother's in prison, my sister cheats on welfare by pretending one of her babies is still alive, my daddy's dead, and my momma weighs 312lbs. If I was thinking straight, I'd go back home, find a used trailer, buy a deep fryer and some oreos. Problem is, this the only thing I ever felt good doing. If I'm too old for this, then I got nothing. That enough truth to suit you?"

So anytime I feel like it I can sell that house from under your fat, lazy, hillbilly ass. And if you ever come back, that's exactly what I'll do."

Morgan Freeman as Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris

• (Morgan Freeman) "To make a fighter you gotta strip them down to bare wood: you can't just tell 'em to forget everything you know if you gotta make 'em forget even their bones -- make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else -- show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy -- how to generate momentum off their right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab -- how to fight backin' up so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you gotta show 'em all over again. Over and over and over -- till they think they're born that way."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Yeah right, you're the smart one. You're the one learning Greek."
• (Clint Eastwood) "It's Gaelic."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Seems there are Irish people everywhere, or people who want to be."

• (Morgan Freeman) "I have HBO."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Anybody can lose one fight, anybody can lose once, you'll come back from this you'll be champion of the world."

• (Morgan Freeman) ""Maggie always did like taking 'em out in the first round.""

• (Morgan Freeman) "-- but maybe he didn't have anything left in his heart. I just hope he found someplace where he could find a little peace. A place set in the cedars and oak trees. Somewhere between nowhere and goodbye. But that's probably wishful thinking."

• (Morgan Freeman) "No matter where he is, I thought you should know what kind of man your father really was."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Damndest thing. So, What's the plan? I know you got one, so you might as well tell me what it is."
• (Clint Eastwood) "It's your fault. Yeah, it's your fault she's lying in there like that. You kept after me until I trained her. I knew I shouldn't have done it, her being a girl and all. Everything kept telling me not to. Everything but you."

• (Morgan Freeman) "She came from southwest Missoura, the hills outside the scratchy-ass Ozark town of Theodosia, set in the cedars and oak trees, somewhere between nowhere and goodbye."

• (Morgan Freeman) "She's getting pretty good."
• (Clint Eastwood) "Yeah, real fast. It's almost as if someone's been helping her."
• (Morgan Freeman) "Oh, I don't know. She might just be a natural. Looks like she's got something."

• (Clint Eastwood) "I wonder."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Only ever met one man I wouldn't wanna fight. When I met him he was already the best cut man in the business. Started training and managing in the sixties, but never lost his gift."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Boxing is an unnatural act. Cos everything in it is backwards. You wanna move to the left, you don't step left, you push on the right toe. To move right, you use your left toe. Instead of running from the pain; like a sane person would do, you step into it."

• (Morgan Freeman) "110. Get a job, punk."

• (Morgan Freeman) "All fighters are pig-headed some way or another: some part of them always thinks they know better than you about something. Truth is: even if they're wrong, even if that one thing is going to be the ruin of them, if you can beat that last bit out of them -- they ain't fighters at all."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Frankie likes to say that boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards: sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back -- But step back too far and you ain't fighting at all."

• (Morgan Freeman) "The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing -- Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism."

• (Morgan Freeman) "Some people say the most important thing a fighter can have is heart. Frankie'd say: show me a fighter who was nothing but heart and I'll show you a man waiting for a beating."

• (Morgan Freeman) "She grew up knowing one thing: she was trash."

Brían F. O'Byrne as Father Horvak

• (Brían F. O'Byrne) "Frankie, I've seen you at Mass almost every day for 23 years. The only person comes to church that much is the kind who can't forgive himself for something."

• (Brían F. O'Byrne) "You're standing outside my church, comparing God to Rice Krispies?"
