Apollo Creed: Now, when we fought, you had that eye of the tiger, man; the edge! And now you gotta get it back, and the way to get it back is to go back to the beginning. You know what I mean?
Happy 71st birthday to Carl Weathers!!!

[During Rocky’s training with Apollo, he’s in an another world, haunted by the first Balboa-Lang fight; Apollo lands some practice hooks]
Apollo Creed: He’s hooking. He’s hooking. He’s hooking! Damn, Rock, Come on! What’s the matter with you?
Rocky Balboa: Tomorrow. Let’s do it tomorrow.
Apollo Creed: [Screaming] There is no tomorrow! THERE IS NO TOMORROW! THERE IS NO TOMORROW!
