T-800: I'm a friend of Sarah Connor. I was told that she's here, could I see her please?
Cop: No. You can't see her, she's making a statement.
T-800: Where is she?
Cop: Look, it may take a while. You wanna wait, there's a bench over there.
[T-800 looks around]
T-800: I'll be back.

10. RoboCop (1987)

Old man: My friends. I've had this dream for more than a decade now. A dream which I've in- vited you all to share with me. In six months, we begin construction of Delta City... Where old Detroid now stands. Old Detroit has a cancer. The cancer is crime. And it must be but out before we emply the two million workers that will breathe life into this city again.
Bob Morton: Yes.
Old man: Although shifts in the tax structure have created an economy ideal for corporate growth, community services, in this case law enforcement, have suffered. I think it's time we gave something BACK. Dick...
Dick Jones: Take a close look at the track record of this company, and you'll see that we have gambled in markets traditionally regarded as non-profit. Hospitals, prisons, space exploration. I say good business is where you find it. As you know, we've entered into a contract with the city to... Run local law enforcement. But at security concepts, we believe an efficient police force is only part of the solution. No, we need something more. We need
a 24-hour a day police officer. A cop who doesn't need to eat or sleep, a cop with superior firepower AND the reflexes to use it... Fellow executives, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the future of law enforcement... ED-209.
[Long pause]
Dick: The Enforcement Droid series 209 is a self-sufficient law enforcement robot. 209 is currently programmed for urban pacification, but THAT is only the beginning. After a succes- ful tour of duty in old Detroit, we can expect 209 to become THE hot military product for the next decade. Dr. McNamara...
Dr. McNamara: We'll need an arrest subject.
Dick: Mr. Kinney!
Kinney: Yes, sir?
Dick: Would you come up and give us a hand, please?
Kinney: Yes, sir!
Dick: Mr. Kinney is going to help us simulate a typical arrest and disarming procedure.
Mr. Kinney... Use your gun in a threatening manner. ... Point it at ED-209.
Kinney: Yes, sir.
ED-209: Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.
Dick: I think you'd better do what he says Mr. Kinney.
[Kinney drops gun]
ED-209: You now have 15 seconds to comply. You are in direct violation...
Science team: Cut the power! Pull the board!
ED-209: ..of penal code 113, section 9. You now have 5 seconds to comply.
[Woman screaming]
Kinney: Help! Help me!
ED-209: Four, three, two, one. I'm now authorized to use physical force.
[ED-209 blows Kinney away, blood splatters, woman keeps screaming]
Board member: Somebody want to call a goddamn paramedic? Let's go Johnson!
Johnson: Right, don't touch him. DON'T TOUCH HIM!
Scientist: He didn't hear it!
Old man: Dick. I'm VERY disappointed.
Dick: I'm sure it's only a glitch. A temporary setback.
Old man: You call this a glitch?!
Crying woman: Oh, no...
Old man: You're scheduled to begin construction in six months, your temporary setback could cost us 50 million dollars in interest payments alone.
Bob: Not necessarily, sir. Perhaps you're aware of the RoboCop program developed by myself at security concepts as a contingency against just this sort of thing?
Dick: Thank you for your concern Mr. Morton, I'm sure this is something...
Old man: Now, wait a minute...
Dick: ..we can talk about in my office in a more...
Old man: Dick! Maybe what we need here is a fresh perspective. Tell me about your plan
Mr. Morton. How long will it take?
Bob: We're ready to go, sir. We've restructured the police department and placed prime candidates according to risk factor. I'm confident we can go to prototype within 90 days.
Old man: Good, very good. Get your staff together Mr. Morton. I'll expect a full presentation in 20 minutes.
Bob: Thank you, sir.

Hammond: None of these attractions are ready yet of course, but the park will open with the basic tour you're about to take, and then other rides will come online six or twelve months after that. Absolutely spectacular design. Spared no expense.
Gennaro: And we can charge anything we want, 2,000 a day, 10,000 a day, and people will pay it. And then there's the merchandise, and I can personally...
Hammond: Donald, Donald, this park was not built to cater only to the super rich. Everyone in the world has the right to enjoy these animals.
Gennaro: Sure. They will. Well, we'll have ah, a coupon day or... Something.
[Hammonds laughs ironically]
Malcolm: Gee, the lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here uh, staggers me.
Gennaro: Well thank you, Dr. Malcolm, but I think things are a little bit different then you and I had feared...
Malcolm: Yeah, I know. They're a lot worse.
Gennaro: Now, wait a second now, we haven't even... Seen the park yet...
Hammond: Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald... Let him talk. There's no reason, no, no, I want to hear every viewpoint, I really do.
Malcolm: Don't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like ah, a kid that's found his dad's gun.
Gennaro: It's hardly appropriate to start hurling generalizations...
Malcolm: Uh, if I may... Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're, that you're using here. It didn't require any discipline to attain it... You know, you read what others had done and you, and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility... For it... You stood on the shoulders of geniuses, uh, to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even KNEW what you had, you, you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox and now you're selling it, you want to sell it, well...
Gennaro: Wha..?
Hammond: I, I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before...
Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should...
Hammond: Condors. Condors are on the verge of extinction, if I was to crea...
Malcolm: No, no...
Hammond: No, no, if I was to create a flock of... CONDORS on this island, you wouldn't have anything to say.
Malcolm: No, hold on. This isn't, this isn't some species that was obliterated by DEFORESTATION, or, or the building of a DAM, dinosaurs, uh, uh, HAD their shot, and
nature SELECTED them for EXTINCTION.
Hammond: ... I simply don't understand this Luddite attitude, especially from a SCIENTIST.
I mean, how can we stand in the light of discovery and, and not act?
Malcolm: Oh, what's so great about discovery? It's a violent... Penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
Sattler: Well, the question is, how can you know anything about an extinct ecosystem? And therefore, how could you ever assume that you can control it? And you have plants in this building that are poisonous, you picked them because they look good, but these are aggressive living things that have no idea what century they're in, and they'll defend themselves, violently if necessary. ...
Hammond: Dr. Grant, if there's one person here who could appreciate what I'm trying to do...
Grant: The world has just changed so radically, and we're all running to catch up. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but look... Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly... Thrown back into the mix together... How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?
Hammond: I don't believe it. I don't believe it. You're meant to come down here and defend me against these characters, and the only one I've got on my side is the blood-sucking lawyer! Hah!
Gennaro: Thank you.

General Tagge: Until this battle station is fully operational, we are vulnerable. The rebel alliance is too well equipped. They're more dangerous than you realize.
Admiral Motti: Dangerous to your starfleet, commander, NOT to this battle station.
General Tagge: The rebellion will continue to gain a support in the imperial senate...
Grand Moff Tarkin: The imperial senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the old republic have been swept away.
General Tagge: That's impossible. How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Grand Moff Tarkin: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line... Fear of this battle station.
General Tagge: And what of the rebellion? If the rebels have obtained a complete technical read out of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, that they might find a weakness and exploit it...
Darth Vader: The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.
Admiral Motti: Any attack made by the rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it.
Darth Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Admiral Motti: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fort......
Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Grand Moff Tarkin: Enough of this! Vader, release him!
Darth Vader: As you wish.
Admiral Motti: Aah...
Grand Moff Tarkin: This bickering is pointless. Now, Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the rebel fortress by the time this station is operational. We will then CRUSH the rebellion with one swift stroke.

Gene: Okay, people! Listen up! I want you all to forget the flight plan. From this moment on, we are improvising a new mission.
From off screen: Oh, come on. Sorry about that, we'll get somebody to look at that.
Gene: How do we get our people home?
...
Gene: They are here. We turn around? Staight back, direct abort?
Fat guy: Yes!
Crowd: No!
Jerry: No. No, sir! No, sir. We get them on a free-return trajectory. It's the option with the fewest question marks for safety.
Gene: I agree with Jerry. We use the moon's gravity to slingshot them around.
Fat guy: No, the LEM will not support three guys for that amount of time.
Someone else: It barely holds two.
Fat guy: I think we've got to do a direct abort. We do an about-face, we bring the guys right home, right now.
Someone else: Get them back soon, absolutely.
Jerry: No, we, we don't even know if the Odyssey's engine's even working and if there's been serious damage to the space craft...
Other guy: They blow up and they die!
Fat guy: That is not the argument! We are talking about time! Not whether or not these guys...
Other guy: I'm not gonna sugarcoat this for you!
Gene: Okay, hold it. Let's hold it down. Let's hold it down people. The only enginge we've got with enough power for a direct abort is the SPS on the service module. What Lovell has told us, it could have been damaged in an explosion, so let's consider that engine dead. We light that thing up, could blow the whole works. It's just to risky. We're not gonna take that chance. In fact, the only thing the command module is good for is re-entry, so that leaves us with the LEM, which means free-return trajectory. Once we get the guys around the moon, we fire up the LEM engine, make a long burn, pick up some speed, and get 'em home as quick as we can.
Some guy: Gene, uh, I'm wondering what the Grumman guys think about this.
Grumman guy: We can't make any guarantees. We designed the LEM to land on the moon, NOT fire the enginge out there for course correction.
Gene: Well, unfortunately, we're not landing on the moon, are we? I don't care what anything was DESIGNED to do. I care about what it CAN do. So let's get to work. Let's lay it out, OK?
[picking up later]
Gene: So, you're telling me, you can only give our guys 45 hours..? That brings them to about there. ... Gentlemen, that's not acceptable.
John: Gene, Gene, we've got to talk about power here. Wow, wow, guys! Power is everything. Power is everything.
Some other guy: What do you mean?
John: Without it, they don't talk to us, they don't correct their trajectory, they don't turn the heat shield around, uh, we gotta turn everything off. Now! They're not gonna make it to re-entry.
Gene: What do you mean, everything?
John: With everything on, the LEM draws 60 amps. At that rate, in 16 hours the batteries are dead, not 45... And so is the crew, we gotta get them down to 12 amps.
Different guys in crowd: 12 amps? How many? You can't run a vacuum cleaner on 12 amps, John!
John: We have to turn off, we have to turn off the raders, cabin heater, instrument displays, the guidance computer, the whole smash.
Jerry: Wow, guidence computer, well, what if they need to do another burn? Gene, they won't even know which way they're pointed.
John: The more time we talk down here, the more juice they waste up there. I've been looking at the data for the past hour.
Gene: That's the deal?
John: That's the deal.
Gene: ... Okay, John, The minute we finish the burn, we'll power down the LEM.
John: Alright.
Gene: Now, in the meantime, we're gonna wave a frozen command module up there. In a couple of days, we're gonna have to power it up using nothing but the re-entry batteries.
Other guy: That's never been tried before.
Fat guy: Hell, we've never even simulated it before, Gene.
Gene: Well, we're gonna have to figure it out. I want people in our simulators, working
re-entry scenarios. I want you guys to find every engineer who designed every switch, every circuit, every transistor and every light bulb that's up there, then I want you to talk to the guy in the assembly line who actually built the thing. Find out how to squeeze every amp out of both of these goddamn machines! I want this mark all the way back to Earth with time to spare! We never lost an Amercian in space, we're sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch! Failure is NOT an option.

Miller: He's not here.
Maybe we should bust up into a couple of different groups, huh, and wander the woods like Hansel and Gretel calling his name, he's bound to hear us sooner or latter. RYAN!
Horvath: That might be a little hard to do... Captain.
Miller: Maybe the locals have seen him. Hey, you know, excuseh moi, parlez-vous, Ryan, James Ryan? Merci, merci beaucoup. Ryan?! Anybody know Ryan? 101st Airborne, Ryan? You know a guy named Ryan? Private James Ryan from Iowa?! Anybody know a Ryan?! JAMES RYAN?!
Random soldier: Hey, Joe... Doesn't, ah, Mandelson pal around with a Ryan from C Company?
Joe: Yeah, I think so.
Random soldier: Well, bring him up here would you?
[Paus]
Miller: You know Private Ryan?
Joe: You're going to have to speak up, sir.
Mandelson: You're going to have to speak up, sir! My hearing..!
Joe: Comes and goes...
Mandelson: ..is not so good!
Joe: A German grenade went off...
Mandelson: A German grenade went off RIGHT by my head!
Miller: Got it! Got it. You know Private Ryan?!
Mandelson: Who?!
Miller: Private Ryan? James Ryan?
Mandelson: Jimmy Ryan?!
Miller: JAMES. James... Francis Ryan.
Mandelson: No, no, no, James FRANCIS Ryan.
Miller: Alright, give me a pencil, something to write on, something to write on. Some, quick, quick, come on, a pencil! Write this down. James Francis Ryan, question mark, Iowa, question mark, do, do you know him, deh, does he know him? Read the message! Look.
Mandelson: Yeah! Of course I know him, sir.
Miller: Does he know where he is?
Mandelson: Yeah! Yeah, we missed our drop zone by about 20 miles, ended up way over by ah, "Bumville" or some damn place. Him, me and a couple of other guys were coming here to the rally point, ran into a colonel who was gathering up men to go to uh... Ramelle!
Miller: Ramelle...
Mandelson: To babysit a bridge! That's the last I've seen of him, sir!
Miller: Great, great! Tha, tha, thank you! Write thank you. Read, read thank you.
Mandelson: You're welcome!
Miller: Assemble on me. Thank you, lieutenant. For now... We're here... There. Ramelle... Is on the Merderet River right here, just to the south... And west of us.
Horvath: You know anything about this bridge he was talking about captain?
Miller: Yeah... The target has always been Cherbourg... We can't... Push on Paris until we
take a deep water port and Rommel knows that, so he's going to try to get his armor across the Merderet River anywhere he can... That way, he can hit our invasion forces in the flank, we'll make a big right turn to Cherbourg. That makes any village on that river with an intact bridge solid gold real estate.

J: Hash is legal there, right?
V: Yeah, it's legal but it ain't a hundred percent legal, I mean, you just can't walk into
a restaurant, roll a joint and start puffin' away. I mean, they want you smoking at home or certain designated places.
J: And those are hash bars?
V: Yeah, it brakes down like this, okay, it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it, and if you're the proprietor of a hash bar, it's legal to sell it. It's illegal to carry it, but, but that doesn't matter 'cause, get a load of this, alright, if you get stopped by a cop in Amsterdam, it's ILLEGAL for them to search you. I mean, that's a right the cops in Amsterdam DON'T have.
J: Hah, oh, man, I'm going, that's all there is to it, I'm fucking going.
V: I know, baby. You'd dig it the most... But you know the funniest thing about Europe is?
J: What?
V: It's the little differences. I mean, the got the same shit over there they got here but just, just there is a little different.
J: Example?
V: Alright, well, you could walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup, I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer in McDonald's.
V: And you know what they call ah, ah, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
J: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
V: No man, they got the metric system, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
J: What do they call it?
V: They call it Royale with Cheese.
J: Royale with Cheese?
V: That's right.
J: What do they call a Big Mac?
V: A Big Mac's a Big Mac but they call it le Big Mac.
J: Le Big Mac. Hahahahahahah... What do they call a Whopper?
V: I don't know, I didn't go into Burger King.
V: You know what they put on french fires in Holland instead of ketchup?
J: What?
V: Mayonnaise.
J: Nah...

Captain Jack Aubrey: What's all this about? What's this?
Joseph Nagle: It's the phantom, sir. Excuse me, that's what the men call it. It's the Acheron, sir. You see, Willy here, he's seen it being built.
William Warley: In, in Boston, sir. During the peace? She's Yankee-built, sir.
Nagle: See, he was getting married there. And his wife's second cousin, he works in the yards... So, Willy here saw the ship out of water.
Warley: Sir, I, I saw there was something right strange about her and, so I asked Joe and...
Nagle: So he described it to me and I knocked you up a model, sir.
Jack: This framing is accurate?
Nagle: Exactly accurate, sir.
Jack: ... Thank you, lads.
Nagle: Thank you, sir.
Warley: Thank you, sir.
Jack: Killick, an extra ration of rum for these men.
Nagle: Thank you very much, sir.
Warley: Sir.
Killick: Which I was saving for Saluting Day...
Jack: We'll drink wine.
Killick: Oh, drink wine on Saluting Day...
[Direct transition into next scene]
Jack: Bluff above the water and sharp below. Gives the hull a finer entry and a long run as she goes aft. That's why she's so fast. Heavier, but fast despite it. That's the future. What a fascinating modern age we live in... Planking and framing like that would make her hull, what, 2ft thick, solid oak. That's why we couldn't dent her. Heh, she's probably capable of making 12 to 14 knots. Now we know. Thank God for Warley and his wife's second cousin.
Thomas Pullings: She could be doing up to 280 miles a day.
Mr. Allen: And even if we did catch up with her... Huh, I mean, to TAKE her... She's out of our class. She's a 44-gun ship.
Jack: She's still vulnerable at the stern, like the rest of us.

Mother: My husband Jack is a lawyer.
Carl: What about your first husband Mrs. Abignali?
Mother: Abagnale, but I prefer to be called Barnes.
Carl: Frank William Abagnale, it says here he was in the service, did, did you two meet during the war?
Mother: Yeah, I lived in a very small village in France. Montrichard. The kind of place where they never heard of Sara Lee. Help yourselves.
Other agent: Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee.
Carl: You filled out a missing persons report for a runaway juvenile by the name of Frank Abagnale Jr.
Mother: Is Frankie okay?
Carl: You're aware of the fact that he wrote some checks on a closed account at Chase Manhattan Bank?
Mother: Oh, yes. The police thinks he's some type of criminal.
Carl: What he did was a felony Mrs. Barnes.
Mother: Oh, it was a thousand dollars. Half the kids his age are on dope, throwing rocks at police, and they scared me to death because my son made a little mistake. Huh, a seventeen year old boy has to eat, has to have a place to sleep.
Carl: We understand, ma'am. Would you happen to have a picture of your son?
Mother: Oh, yes. I have his old yearbook.
... (Photo rings a bell)
Carl: Okay... Okay, okay. We, uh, we need to send out an all office teletype. Our unsub's name is Frank Abagnale Jr. Age SEVENTEEN.
Mother: Is Frankie okay? Is he in trouble?
Carl: Ma'am, I'm sorry to have to tell you, your son is forging checks.
Mother: Forging checks? Wait! I'm sure we can take care of that. I'm working part-time at the church now. Just tell me how much he owes and I'll pay you back.

Billy: ...... None of them.
Someone: Billy, we got 38 home runs, 128 RBIs to make up for...
Billy: Guys, you're still trying to replace Giambi. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do... Is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.
Grady: The what?
Billy: Giambi's on-base percentage was 477. Damon's on-base, 324, and Olmedo's was 291. Add that up at you get...
Pete: ... Do you want me to speak?
Billy: ... When I point at you, yeah.

Someone else: Billy, that's trouble.
Rocco: Ah, Billy, look, if, if I, yeah, Billy, if I may, eh, he certainly has had his problems off the field and we KNOW what he can't do on the field.
Someone: He's getting a little thick around the waist.
Rocco: You know, and there's reports about him on the weed, in the strip clubs...
Jack McGee: Well, his on-base percentage is all we're looking at now. And Jeremy gets on base an awful lot for a guy who only costs 285,000.

A scout: Steinbrenner's so pissed at his decline that he's willing to eat a big chunk of his contract just to get rid of him. Anybody...
Billy: Exactly.
Grady: Ten years ago, David Justice, big name, been in a lot of big games, he's gonna... Really help our season tickets early in the year but we get in the dog days in July and August, he's, we're LUCKY if he's gonna hit his weight!
Artie: Billy, his, his legs are gone...

Artie: Ah, he's a defensive liability and I question whether the bat speed's still there.
Grady: His legs are gone.
Billy: Grady.
Grady: We'll be lucky to get 60 games out of him. Why do you like him?
Pete: Because he gets on base.
Someone: What, what is this?
Someone else: What are we doing?
Billy: Okay, number three... Scott Hatteberg.
Barry: Who?!
Someone: Scott Hatteberg?
Billy: Exactly. He sounds like an Oakland A already.
Someone: Are you kidding?
Billy: Yes, he's had a little problem with his elbow...
Grady: A little problem? He can't throw!
Someone: He's got nerv damage.
Ron Hopkins: He's a career 260 hitter, the best part of his career is over.
Billy: I say, it's just getting started.
Chris Pittaro: I know Boston wants to cut him and no one wants to pick him up.
Billy: That's good for us, he's cheap.
Grady: Let me get this, let me get this straight, you're gonna get a guy that's been released by half the organizations in professional baseball because he's got non-repairable nerve damage in his elbow... And he can't throw!
Billy: He can't throw and he can't field, but what CAN he do?
Someone: Oh, boy...
Billy: Guys, check your reports or I'm GONNA point at Pete.
Someone: He gets on base.
Everyone: He gets on base.
Billy: He can get on base.
Rocco: So he walks a lot.
Billy: He gets on base a lot, Rocco. Do I care if it's a walk or a hit..? Pete?
Pete: You do not.
Billy: I do not.
Someone: Billy, I got 37 free agents...
Grady: Here we go again.
Someone: ..that are better than those three guys.
Grady: Wait a minute, let me get this straight, so... You're not gonna bring in ONE... But three defective players to replace Giambi? Is this what I'm hearing?
Rocco: You're not buying into this Bill James bullshit are you?
Billy: This is the new direction of the Oakland A's. We are card counters at the blackjack table and we're gonna turn the odds on the casino.
Grady: Ah... I don't see it.
Bob: Seriously, guys, I think we have to remember, this is the man. He answers to no one exept ownership and God. And he doesn't have to answer to us. We make suggestions, he makes decisions.
Grady: Look, that's all fine and well, but we've been working our asses off for the last six and a half weeks...
Billy: Grady.
Grady: ..to make this ball club better, and you're shitting all over it.
Billy: Grady! This is not a discussion.
Barry: What are we discussing?
Billy: Barry, not a discussion.
Ron Washington: Billy, man, uhm... I think there's one thing you're forgetting here. None of those three guys knows how to play first base.
Billy: Well, you're gonna have to teach one of them.
Ron Washington: Teach..? Which one?

Apollo: Look, I don't know about anybody else, but as long as I'm going to be promoting this fight myself, I want a lot more pressure put on for a rematch.
Duke: Hey, we can get the SAME money for the two top contenders. Why go after Balboa? Why?
Apollo: Because there's still a lot of people out there that think he won. There's a lot
of people out there accusing me of having the fight fixed, accusing me of being a fake and insulting my kids at school, that's why.
Duke: You want to hear the truth?
Apollo: Yeah, I want to hear the truth.
Duke: The truth is that last time he was damn lucky. Now he's all finished! I mean, he's
been hanging around doing nothing for six months. And any trainer worth anything wouldn't have nothing to do with him! Now, I say... Let's go after some new meat. Forget this bum!
Apollo: ... You think I beat him he last time? Do you? Hm?
Duke: You got the decision.
Apollo: Man, I WON but I didn't beat him! ... What are you afraid of Tony?
Duke: ... Honest?
Apollo: Yeah, honest.
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... We don't need that kind of man in our life. ... (I know what you're feeling. Let it go. Let it got. You're the champ.)
Apollo: Thank you.
Apollo: Look, you're in charge of my public relations, right? I want a whole new campaign started. I want something done publicly to bring this man out. I want something done to jar this man's pride, I want something done to get the people around him talking. All right?
PR man: You realize, if we use this... Humiliation tactic, you're setting yourself up as the bad guy?
Apollo: Look man, whatever gets him in the ring.
