Quotes:

"I just knock 'em out, I don't put 'em back in." (After hearing the complaint of an opponent who lost some teeth in a fight.)

"I never hit a guy with glasses." (conversation in a bar in Hill City, Idaho. The man took off his glasses as if getting ready to fight and Ralph simply took the man's glasses and put them on himself.)
