James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim : The first time I saw you fight I was just a bit of a kid. There wasn't a man alive who could have stood up to you then. And tonight, well, I was just mighty glad that you weren't the John L. Sullivan of ten years ago.
John L. Sullivan : Is that what you're thinkin' now?
James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim : That's what I was thinking before I got into the ring with you.
John L. Sullivan : That's a fine decent thing for you to say, Jim. I don't knopw how we might have come out, oh, say, eight or ten tears ago. I... maybe I was faster then, but if I was, tonight you're the fastest thing on two feet

James J. Corbett aka Gentleman Jim : I've seen you around San Francisco a few times but from a long distance, of course.
John L. Sullivan : Well, seein' me from a long distance is a smart idea, young fella.
