Quotes 

• Jeremy Goodwin : Fire me.

  Isaac : What?

  Jeremy Goodwin : Fire me. Do it now.

  Isaac : Why?

  Jeremy Goodwin : I'm a bad worker.

  Isaac : No you're not.

  Jeremy Goodwin : I come late. I leave early.

  Isaac : You come early and you stay late. You come in on your days off.

  Jeremy Goodwin : And isn't *that* a little weird?

  Isaac : Oh, yeah.

  Jeremy Goodwin : Well then that's enough, Isaac. Fire me!

• Jeremy Goodwin : How can it be raining at Indian Wells?

  Isaac : Maybe it's the rainy season.

  Jeremy Goodwin : [patiently]  Indian Wells is a desert, Isaac. If deserts had a rainy season they'd be called something else.

  Isaac : Fair point.

• Isaac : I'm not firing you.

  Jeremy Goodwin : I say things behind your back.

  Isaac : No you don't.

  Jeremy Goodwin : It's behind your back, Isaac. There's no way you'd know.

  Isaac : It'd get back to me.

  Jeremy Goodwin : No these things are too terrible and I can't live with the guilt. I'll save you the trouble of firing me and simply offer my resignation.

  Isaac : I won't except it.

  Jeremy Goodwin : You have to except it.

  Isaac : You have a contract.

  Jeremy Goodwin : Then fire me.

  Isaac : No!

  [pause] 

  Jeremy Goodwin : I'm a racist.

  Isaac : Really?

  Jeremy Goodwin : Yeah! I'm a terrible racist. But I've been in the closet all these years and I've decided I need to live an honest life. And I think all those people with the different skin colors and the funny accents should go back where they came from and leave America to the white people who killed the Indians in the first place, which they deserved.

  Isaac : Jeremy...

  Jeremy Goodwin : The whole country's being taken over by the blacks and the Jews.

  Isaac : You're Jewish!

  Jeremy Goodwin : Well, I've gotta be stopped, Isaac!
