Bruce McGill: Billy

Quotes 

• Billy : I'll tell you what. I'll give you a choice. You play me in chess or you box El Angelito.

  Hector : Okay. I'll box El Angelito. W-w-wait, uh, who is El Angelito?

• Billy : Only thing guaranteed in life's a hangover, kid.

• Billy : The old guys - Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Ray Robinson, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali - you know what set those guys apart from the rest of the boxing world? Brains. A chump don't become champ without 'em.

• Billy : Any piece of meat can fight, kid. Boxing is thinking. You gotta read the other guy like a chessboard. Always think two, three moves ahead of you.

• Hector : I wanna take on Robert and you can get me there, right?

  Billy : [laughs]  That's powerful ambitious, right there! That's just this side of stupid!

• [Without warning, Billy slaps Hector hard across the face] 

  Hector : [incredulous]  What'd you do that for?

  Billy : [flatly and without blinking]  A wasp.

• Billy : This fighter has all the speed you're gonna have to deal with with Robert.

  Hector : [espying his latest opponent]  I ain't fighin' no girl. Come on!

  Billy : Yes, you are.

  Hector : Whadda ya want me to kiss her or something?

  Billy : I don't care what you do with her - after you spar with her.

• [while playing chess, Billy slaps Hector hard across the face without warning] 

  Hector : [incredulous]  What the hell was that?

  Billy : The wasp again.

  Hector : I didn't hear no wasp.

  Billy : What, do you want me to let him sting you? Huh?

• [Still playing chess, Billy slaps Hector hard across the face without warning] 

  Hector : What the fuck?

  Billy : Look, you've got to think under pressure. You've got to learn to concentrate when you're gettin' clobbered from all sides.

• Billy : IF I WANTED POLITE, I'D TRAIN BALLERINAS!
