Other Quotes: Rocky Rocky II Rocky III Adrian: It's suicide! You've seen him, you know how strong he is. You can't win! Rocky: Nobody tells the truth, Adrian. No, maybe I can't win. Maybe the only thing I can do is take everything he's got. But to beat me, he's gonna have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's gotta be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that... I don't know. Rocky: I see three of him out there. Paulie: Hit the one in the middle. Apollo: We always have to be in the middle of the action 'cause we're the warriors. And without some challenge, without some damn war to fight then the warriors might as well be dead, Stallion!

Rocky: Yeah Duke: Apollo was like my son. I raised him. And when he died a part of me died. But now you're the one. You're the one that's gonna keep his spirit alive.

[Apollo's funeral] Rocky: "There's a lot I could say about this man, but I don't know if it matters now. I guess what matter is what he stood for, what he lived for and what he died for. You always made everything the way you wanted it. Sometimes I didn't understand that, but now I understand. You're the best."
