Quotes 

• Casey McCall : What did he throw, Cut Man?

  Chuck 'The Cut Man' Kimmel : It was a right hook... with a bit of a jab.

  Casey McCall : A jabbing right hook?

  Chuck 'The Cut Man' Kimmel : That's right, Casey.

  Casey McCall : And he did it with his left hand?

  Chuck 'The Cut Man' Kimmel : This fighter's got remarkable skills. He's not to be trifled with, Casey.

• Dana Whitaker : It was never my intention to make you feel like there was something wrong with you that needed to be fixed. It was regrettable that I did that.

  Casey McCall : Well, the thing is, there's been fifteen years of it from you, Dana, and frankly, from my marriage, too, and I know you don't deserve the bill for that. But, uh... Well, I just wanna move on.

• Chuck 'The Cut Man' Kimmel : So strap yourselves in, folks. We're in for the night. 12 rounds from here at Bally's Park Place, just a stone's throw down the boardwalk from where a new Miss America was crowned just a few months ago. Miss Rochester, I believe it was.

  Dan Rydell : Ok, well, Rochester's not a state, but we'll have somebody look that up.

  Casey McCall : No, it's a city, Cut Man, in upstate New York. Contestants in the Miss America pageant have to come from one of the 50 states.

  Chuck 'The Cut Man' Kimmel : Well, I hate to correct you on your own show, Casey, but there's 52 states with Alaska and Rhode Island.

  Casey McCall : Ok.

  Chuck 'The Cut Man' Kimmel : Though I'm no college professor, you see.

  Dan Rydell : That's almost hard to believe, Cut Man.

• Dan Rydell : Seven seconds.

  Casey McCall : Yes.

  Dan Rydell : The fight lasted seven seconds.

  Casey McCall : The fight game is complex.

  Dan Rydell : The fight game sucks.

  Casey McCall : What should we talk about?

  Dan Rydell : What should we talk about?

  Casey McCall : In the analysis.

  Dan Rydell : The fight lasted seven seconds, Casey. We're going to have to go back to counting states.

• Casey McCall , Isaac Jaffe : Isaac: A famous monk once said, "I don't always know what the right thing to do is, my Lord, but I think that the fact that I want to please you, pleases you." Casey: But you would have preferred a book of famous monk quotations... Isaac: No, you put some thought into me. What could be a greater gift? Casey: I look like an idiot. Isaac: Added bonus.
