I watched Cinderella Man and got these nice quotes out. After a little bit of search on the net I found these quotes.
The first one was the discussion between Mrs. Braddock (Renée Zellweger) and Braddock’s manager’s wife. Mrs. Braddock was begging to ask Braddock’s manager not to let him to fight this this guy who already killed two guys in the ring. And this was Braddock’s manager’s wife answered.
Can you ever stop yours? When he sets his mind to a thing? I wish I could.
See, I never know who is harder on, them or us.
We have to wait for them to fix everything.
And every day, they feel like they’re failing us.
And really, it’s just the world that’s failed, you know?
The second one was when Jimmy Jhonston (Bruce McGill) warned Braddock (Russell Crowe) not to take the fight. Here was the answer from Braddock.
You think you’re telling me something?
What, like, boxing is dangerous, something like that?
You don’t think triple shifts or working nights on the scaffolds is just as likely to get a guy killed?
How many guys died the other night living in cardboard shacks trying to save on rent money?
Guys who were trying to feed their family. ‘Cause men like you have not yet quite figured out a way to make money out of watching that guy die.
In my profession, and it’s my profession I’m a little more fortunate.
One of my favorite quotes in this movie is : “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, nameless, unreasoning, unjustified…”
i’d like these ones better:
“Just because things ain’t easy, that doesn’t give you an excuse to take what’s not yours.”
[and]
“No point in punching things you can’t see.”
