The Cane (1995)

Stephen Root: Jimmy James

Quotes 

• Jimmy : There's enough bad vibes in here to run a hoodoo factory.

• Jimmy : Do you know what makes this country great?

  Dave : [sighs]  What?

  Jimmy : I don't know, but I do know this. If Henry Ford and John Chrysler'd been sleeping together, Hell we'd be... we'd all be traveling around in horse buggies.

• Jimmy : Bill, do you have anything to add?

  Bill : Dave stole my cane, and my ass still hurts.

• Jimmy : I'm all geared up for kickboxing, and you give me synchronized swimming.

• Bill : Jimmy.

  Jimmy : Recognized.

  Bill : My ass hurts.

  Jimmy : [on intercom]  Okay, Carol, bring us some cushions too. Bill's ass hurts.

• Jimmy : Okay, retreat's over.

  Catherine Duke : I thought this was supposed to be an all-nighter.

  Jimmy : Well it was. But, uh, Paul Simon's doin' a surprise gig down at the Bottom Line, so.

  Catherine Duke : Oh, I love his music.

  Jimmy : Yeah, I don't, but I do have a line of snow tires that I want him to endorse.

• Catherine Duke : How did your meeting with Paul Simon go?

  Jimmy : Oh, not so good. I guess the world will have to wait for a hazy shade of whitewalls.

• Jimmy : So, what you're-what you're sayin' to me is that, uh, because of your personal relationship you see the value in non-competitive cooperation?

  Dave : Well, yes.

  Jimmy : That may work wonders in the bedroom, but I tell you what, do me a favor and keep that kind of crap out of my office.
