Terry: You remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and said 'Kid, this ain't your night. We're goin' for the price on Wilson'. You 'member that? 'This ain't your night'. My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart. So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors in a ball park and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville. You was my brother, Charlie. You shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You should taken care of me just a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money... I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody. Instead of a bum… which is what I am, let's face it."
