Quote context

[...]

- Nothing worth bragging about.

- Would you be interested in some sort of manual labor?

- Well, I got nothing against honest manual labor. It's just that I'd like to see if I could make a living sitting down, like you're doing over there.

- Can I be honest? No one's going to offer you an office job. There's too much competition.

- Why don't you fight? I've read somewhere you're a very good fighter.

- Yeah? Well... Was you ever punched in the face 500 times a night, you know? Stings after a while, you know.

- Thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it.

- Mr. Balboa? I'm very sorry. We have nothing.

- Are you sure?

- Next.

- Hey, look, pal, you gotta be realistic. You got no high school diploma, no qualifications. Wouldn't you be more content with a good-paying menial labor job?

- Thanks.

- The way I see it is, I can get another job if I want to, you know? But do I want to? Do I want to be doing something I ain't gonna be happy doing? Plus, you know, we need the money now, Butkus.
