- Lincoln Hawk: What I do is, I just try to take my hat and I turn it around, and it's like a switch that goes on. And when the switch goes on, I feel like another person, I feel, I don't know, I feel like a... like a truck. Like a machine.
- Bob 'Bull' Hurley: I drive truck, break arms, and arm wrestle. It's what I love to do, it's what I do best. Being number one is everything. There is no second place. Second sucks.
- John Grizzly: When I get to the table, that person, I don't care who they are, they're my mortal enemy. I hate them.
- Lincoln Hawk: [to Michael] All I can say is I made a mistake. I know that. You know, sometimes that happens in life. We all make mistakes, but it won't happen again.
- Michael Cutler: I don't believe this. All that talk about never giving up is all lies. You never believed it yourself. And what you said to me, remember? "Now is the time to do it for yourself". "The world meets nobody halfway". "If you want it, you gotta take it".
- Lincoln Hawk: Mike, please. I...
- Michael Cutler: Now is your chance, dad, don't you see? I don't care about what happened before, so you can stop trying to prove yourself to me. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, dad. I don't care about that. All I care about is being with you, dad... and I love you!
- Mad Dog Madison: I'm not so enthused about people coming up and patting me on the back saying "you're the best". I don't need people to do that to me. If I win, its because I wanted to be the best one time in my life.
- Harry Bosco: My whole body is an engine. This is a fireplug
- [makes a fist]
- Harry Bosco: ... and I'm gonna light him up.
- Michael Cutler: If I went with you, where would we go? Where would we end up?
- Lincoln Hawk: Together is all I can guarantee. I'm just a father who messed up pretty bad, I know that. I've done things real wrong, now I want to try fix things up as best I can. I want to give... you... what's inside of me. I may not have much and I may never have a lot. But I've got something inside I want to give to the only person that means something to me... you.
- Bob 'Bull' Hurley: Right now, double or nothing. What do you say?
- Lincoln Hawk: Let's just wait for Vegas.
- Bob 'Bull' Hurley: Come on, let's do it now. I feel like kicking some ass.
- Lincoln Hawk: Let's wait till Vegas, okay?
- Bob 'Bull' Hurley: You ain't got a *prayer* in Vegas!
- Lincoln Hawk: We'll see.
- Lincoln Hawk: You know, if you're hungry, there's a great place up here for good steak. What do you say we stop?
- Michael Cutler: Sir, you're going to be the victim of cholesterol poisoning. Later in life, you'll just start to rot away.
- Lincoln Hawk: You're just full of good humor, aren't ya Mike?
- Michael Cutler: I'd like to say something, sir.
- Lincoln Hawk: Sure.
- Michael Cutler: This truck is disgusting!
- Lincoln Hawk: I don't know, Mike. It's just old.
- Lincoln Hawk: What do you want, Cutler?
- Jason Cutler: We don't have to be enemies.
- Lincoln Hawk: I never wanted to be your enemy.
- Michael Cutler: How long will it take?
- Lincoln Hawk: Well, I've got one more pick up. And say, two to three days, we'll be in California. And your mother doesn't go into surgery, say, until Wednesday morning.
- Michael Cutler: Do you really think you can make up 10 years in two to three days?
- Lincoln Hawk: No, I don't think so.
- Bob 'Bull' Hurley: What are you doing with that guy?
- Michael Cutler: He's my father.
- Bob 'Bull' Hurley: Too bad.
- Carl Adams: I should be able to blow them away real easy. There's a lot more technique involved and you can't beat experience.
- Jason Cutler: [to Hawk] Do you actually think you can get away with what you've done? You think you can come in here, destroy my home and take Michael with you? Michael Cutler is my boy! You deserted him years ago! And that's a fact that you can't change, no matter what you do! *Damn you*!
- Michael Cutler: All you wanted to do was embarrass me. Well, you did it, okay? Grandfather always said you were a loser! Now you're trying to make me one and I hate you for it!
- Lincoln Hawk: Mike, I don't care what your grandfather thinks about me, okay? All I care about is you! Now, you lost back there because you beat yourself, you told yourself you couldn't win. You're my boy, now go back there and win!
- Lincoln Hawk: Tell you the truth, the truck is, uh, you know, the most important thing for me. I... I don't really... it doesn't matter if I, uh, become the champion or anything. That's, that's not the most important... I... I need this truck.
- Lincoln Hawk: What are you trying to do? I gave you custody of the boy, I signed papers, what more do you want?
- Jason Cutler: I'm trying to make things easy for you, Hawk. You don't need Michael as a meal ticket anymore. You're on a free ride. So take the truck, take the money. Start a new life, *start your own family*!
- Lincoln Hawk: I've got a family! When this is over, I'm coming to get him.
- Jason Cutler: You're going back on your word.
- [last lines]
- Michael Cutler: Why don't we just start our own trucking company? You know, we could call it "Son and Hawk".
- Lincoln Hawk: Son and Hawk?
- Michael Cutler: Yeah, I like it.
- Lincoln Hawk: That's not too bad. Well, how do you think "Hawk and Son" sounds?
- Michael Cutler: Hawk and Son?
- Lincoln Hawk: What do you think of that?
- Michael Cutler: Hawk and Son? Hawk and Son! Hey, I... I think it just might work.
- Lincoln Hawk: Come on.
- Michael Cutler: Hey, can I drive later, dad?
- Lincoln Hawk: You're an equal partner, aren't you?
- Ruker: [blocking the door as Hawk tries to leave] Mr. Cutler is talking to you!
- Lincoln Hawk: [angrily] I'm through talking!
- [Hawk proceeds to punch Ruker and throw him through the door as he leaves the balcony]
- Bob 'Bull' Hurley: [about Hawk] He doesn't even belong on my arm wrestling table. That's my area, that's my game, and he's got no shittin' business there. And all I want to do is hurt him, cripple him, get him off the table. And so he never dares try to compete against me again.
- Lincoln Hawk: You are born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
