• Cassius Clay : Out of sight! Well, what time? Eight o'clock?

  Ruby Sanderson : Eight o'clock it is.

  Cassius Clay : Be pretty.

  Ruby Sanderson : I will.

  Cassius Clay : Of course, I will be pretty.

  Ruby Sanderson : You are fine.

  Cassius Clay : Alright.

  Ruby Sanderson : Alright. See you later.

  Cassius Clay : Be on time, baby. Don't be too slow. Women is always late - especially you colored girls.

• Ruby Sanderson : How do you know for sure, when he put it to you, that you would be giving all of this up?

  Cassius Clay : When you think about it, it was simple. For me to turn down what I believe in, my people, the black people, just to please white folks, to get this fight. And probably some, 10 or 15 years from now, when I'm no longer fightin', Whitey's got no more use for me, and black people remember what I did and turn their backs on me, then I'm really in trouble.

• Muhammad Ali : How you gonna be my woman when everything you doin' is embarrassin' me tonight? My woman, walkin' around with your chest all out, your knees all out, your dress five inches over your legs, horny crackers and niggers lookin' at you, gruelin' at the mouth.

  Ruby Sanderson : Well, you bought this dress! You picked it out!
