Jake La Motta
- [First lines] I remember those cheers / They still ring in my ears / After years, they remain in my thoughts. / Go to one night / I took off my robe, and what'd I do? I forgot to wear shorts. / I recall every fall / Every hook, every jab / The worst way a guy can get rid of his flab. / As you know, my life wasn't drab. / Though I'd much... Though I'd rather hear you cheer / When you delve... Though I'd rather hear you cheer / When I delve into Shakespeare / "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse", I haven't had a winner in six months. / Though I'm no Olivier / I would much rather... And though I'm no Olivier / If he fought Sugar Ray / He would say / That the thing ain't the ring, it's the play. / So give me a... stage / Where this bull here can rage / And though I could fight / I'd much rather recite / ... that's entertainment.
- I get ya's both in the ring, I'll give ya both a fuckin' beatin', ya both can fuck each other.
- You punch like you take it up the ass.
- [After being beaten half to death by Sugar Ray Robinson, Jake is still standing.] You didn't get me down, Ray.
- I heard things.
- [Of Janiro] Yeah, he's a nice kid, pretty kid, don't know whether to fuck him or fight him.
- Who's an animal? Your mother's an animal, ya son of a bitch.
- "I done a lot of bad things, Joey. Maybe they're coming back to me."
- I got these small hands. I got a little girl's hands.
- [Last lines, to himself] Go get 'em, champ. I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss... I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss.
