Quotes 

• Jimmy : There's something deeply ingrained in human biology: women prefer bad over weak and indecisive... and unemployed

  Josh Neff : I don't know about that.

  Jimmy : You think they do prefer weak, indecisive, and unemployed?

• Jimmy : [to Alice]  There's no chance of you getting infatuated with me again, is there?

• Jimmy : You know this is the way people used to dance in bars in the old days.

  Charlotte Pingress : Did people ever really dance in bars? I thought that was a myth.

  Jimmy : People my older brothers age, they did.

  Charlotte Pingress : Your brother must be a lot older. Before disco, this country was a dancing wasteland. You know the Woodstock generation of the 1960s that were so full of themselves and conceited? None of those people could dance.

• Des McGrath : 'Yuppie scum'? In college, before dropping out, I took a course in the propaganda uses of language; one objective is to deny other people's humanity, or even right to exist.

  Jimmy : In the men's lounge someone scrawled 'kill yuppie scum'.

  Des McGrath : Do yuppies even exist? No one says, "I am a yuppie," it's always the other guy who's a yuppie. I think for a group to exist, somebody has to admit to be part of it.

• Jimmy : That's like something out of the Nazis!

• Jimmy : Hey, how you been?

  Alice Kinnon : Fine. How are you?

  Josh Neff : [Jimmy doesn't answer]  He's really depressed.

  Charlotte Pingress : Oh, isn't this place great!

  Josh Neff : Its fantastic! I love it.

• Jimmy : There's no chance of you getting infatuated with me again, is there?

  [Alice doesn't answer] 

  Jimmy : Just had to confirm that.
