Had enough?The Super Mario Bros. Movie · 2023 — 第 11 / 14 章 · 1'45" · B1
Mario takes a beating from a much bigger opponent and keeps getting up until he wins. The crowd roars his name, and the taunt "You just don't know when to quit" turns into praise. Then word arrives that Bowser is closing in, and the team plans to race out and ambush him.
Mario faces an opponent far larger than himself in the arena. He is knocked down again and again but never stays down, and the beating wins him the crowd's respect and even his rival's. Once the fight is over, the group learns Bowser is on his way.

Had enough?I'll take that as a yes.He kept beating you senseless......and you just kept getting back up?know when to stop or walk away
You just don't know when to quit.It's a great thing.I let him win, just for the record.Really, though? Why would you do that?used to tell someone to stop asking about your private matters
Mind your own business! That's why!We've located Bowser's ship.He's gonna arrive at the Mushroom Kingdom by sundown.Well, what are you waiting for?The scene is about how respect is actually earned in this world, and the answer is not skill. Mario is outmatched in every way, yet his refusal to stay down changes what the fight means. The line "You just don't know when to quit" begins as a complaint and ends as praise, and the confirmation, "It's a great thing," turns stubbornness into a virtue. Even his rival's embarrassment is played for laughs: losing to Mario is so unlikely that the excuse is "I let him win, just for the record." What the film sets up here is its central value — persistence over talent — and it will matter again when the real enemy arrives.
You just don't know when to quit.The line that flips from insult to compliment: the inability to give up is what wins Mario respect.
Well, never thought of that as a good thing.Mario's modest surprise that a trait he was probably scolded for is being praised.
Mind your own business! That's why!A blunt, defensive answer that refuses to explain a private decision.
I let him win, just for the record.An embarrassed excuse that insists the loss was voluntary, protecting the speaker's pride.
Lucky for you guys, I got a shortcut.A confident offer that turns bad news into an advantage, with a touch of swagger.
Because Mario refuses to stay down, even when he is clearly outmatched. The relentless getting-up impresses the crowd and his rival more than any punch.
It means to recognize when to stop or give up. Here it is used almost as a compliment, praising Mario for never learning to quit.
Because losing is humiliating and he wants to save face. The excuse reveals how much his status matters to him, and the film plays it for comedy.
They plan to use a shortcut, reach the Mushroom Kingdom before him, and set an ambush, which is why they choose karts for the journey.
