Quotes
-
Jimmy : If I believed in fairy tales I never would have dropped out of kindergarten.
-
Jimmy James : Well, Lisa's the people's choice. It's a done deal. Dave, you're the new boss. Congratulations.
Dave : What?
Lisa Miller : Yes!
Jimmy James : See, Lisa's the boss everyone likes, and Dave's the boss everyone respects.
Lisa Miller : I respect you.
Dave : Shut up.
Jimmy James : Come on, everyone. You all want a boss you can respect?
[Others disagree]
Jimmy James : Maybe even a boss you hate a little bit?
[Others still disagree]
Jimmy James : That's settles it. All hail Dave, the hated boss!
-
Jimmy James : You have to make them think that you actually want to lead them. Imagine the riot if everyone found out that Bill Clinton doesn't want to be President.
Lisa Miller : He doesn't?
Jimmy James : I gotta go.
-
Jimmy James : Everybody ready to count 'em up? All right, here we go. All righty. First one is for... Lisa. Very good. Second one right here is for... Lisa again. And we got a third one for... Lisa. And the last one is for... Lisa. The people have spoken. Dave, come on. I think it's customary to make a concession speech.
Dave : Yeah. Uh, okay. Uh, well, ladies and gentlemen, I guess I-I just want to say, uh--WHAT HAPPENED? Huh? I mean, you all said you were gonna vote for me!
Lisa Miller : Wait, wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Dave : You all...
Lisa Miller : Wait a minute. They all said the same thing to me.
Dave : What?
Lisa Miller : Yeah. They all came to me and told me they were gonna vote for me, but they didn't want you to know.
Dave : What? So you were all just covering your asses, huh? You just wanted to be on the right side no matter who won, huh? Huh?
Bill : [awkward pause] I voted for you.
Dave : No, you didn't, Bill. No one did!
Bill : [awkward pause] I demand a recount.
Jimmy James : Okay. Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, and Lisa. Well, there you go.
