Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: People love violence. They slow down at a car wreck to check for bodies. Same people claim to love boxing. They got no idea what it is. Boxing is about respect - getting it for yourself, and taking it away from the other guy.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Frankie liked to say that boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards. Sometimes, best way to deliver a punch is step back. ... But step back too far you ain't fightin' at all.
Frankie Dunn: Well, do your best, Lord, to... protect Katy. Annie, too. Other than that... you know what I want. There's no use me repeating myself.
Father Horvak: What's confusing you this week?
Frankie Dunn: Oh, it's the same old one God, three God thing.
Father Horvak: Frankie, most people figure out by kindergarten it's about faith.
Frankie Dunn: Is it sort of like Snap, Crackle and Pop all rolled up in one big box?
Frankie Dunn: Well, I'm confused.
Father Horvak: No, you aren't.
Frankie Dunn: Yes, I am.
Father Horvak: Then here's your answer: There's one God. Anything else? Cos I'm busy.
Frankie Dunn: What about the Holy Ghost?
Father Horvak: An expression of God's love.
Frankie Dunn: And Jesus?
Father Horvak: Son of God. Don't play stupid.
Frankie Dunn: Well, what is he, then? Does that make him a demigod?
Father Horvak: There are no demigods, you fuckin' pagan!
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Some people'd say the most important thing a fighter can have is heart. Frankie'd say, "Show me a fighter with nothing but a heart, and I'll show you a man waiting for a beating."
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: She came from southwestern Missouri, the hills outside the scratch-ass Ozark town of Theodosia, set in the cedars and oak trees somewhere between nowhere and good-bye.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: If there's magic in boxing, it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Boxing is an unnatural act, cos everything in it is backwards. You want to 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. ... Everything in boxing is backwards.

Frankie Dunn: God, this is a mistake already.
Frankie Dunn: If I take you on, you don't say anything. You don't question me. You don't ask why, you don't say anything except maybe, "Yes, Frankie." And I'm going to try to forget the fact that you're a girl.
Maggie Fitzgerald: It's all I ask.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: To make a fighter, you got to strip 'em down to bare wood... You can't just tell 'em to "forget everything you know." You got to make 'em forget it in 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 your right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab. How to fight backing up, so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you got to show 'em all over again - over and over and over till they think they were born that way.
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: All fighters are pig-headed some way or other. 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 'em, then they ain't fighters at all.
Frankie Dunn: Can you uh... spare a few minutes for the Immaculate Conception?
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: People die every day Frankie, mopping floors washing dishes. And you know what their last thought is? "I never got my shot." Because of you, Maggie got her shot.
