Trivia and QuotesQuotes Jerry Maguire: I am out here for you. You don`t know what it`s like to be ME out here for YOU. It is an up-at-dawn, pride-swallowing siege that I will never fully tell you about, ok? Dicky Fox: The key to this business is personal relationships. Jerry Maguire: I don`t like black people? I am Mister black people. Bob Sugar: It`s not "show friends." It`s show *business*. Jerry Maguire: What are you doing with me, Rod?
Rod Tidwell: Why?
Jerry Maguire: I`m finished, I`m fucked. Twenty four hours ago, man, I was hot! Now... I`m a cautionary tale. You see this jacket I`m wearing, you like it? Because I don`t really need it. Because I`m cloaked in failure! I lost the number one draft picked the night before the draft! Why? Let`s recap: Because a hockey player`s kid made me feel like a superficial jerk. I ate two slices of bad pizza, went to bed and grew a concience!
Rod Tidwell: Well, boo-fucking-hoo Laurel: Don`t cry at the beginning of a date. Cry at the end, like I do. Dorothy: Look at me Laurel, I`m the oldest 26 year old in the world. Dorothy: On the surface, everything seems fine. I`ve got this great guy. And he loves my kid. And he sure does like me a lot. And I can`t live like that. It`s not the way I`m built. Rod Tidwell: I got a shelf life of ten years, tops. My next contract`s gotta bring me the dollars that`ll last me and mine a long time. Shit, I`m out of this sport in 5 years. What`s my family gonna live on? Huh? Rod Tidwell: Anyone else would have left you by now, but I`m sticking with you. And if I have to ride your ass like Zorro, you`re gonna show me the money. Jerry Maguire: I`m still sort of moved by your "My word is stronger than oak" thing. [after Tidwell makes a good play on TV]
Tyson Tidwell: Yeah! That`s my mo-fo!
Tyson`s mother: [gasps]
Tyson Tidwell: [suddenly guilty] Oops.
Tyson`s mother: Uh-uh. Come here.
Tyson Tidwell: [does a bit scared]
Tyson`s mother: How about, you be the first man in the family to stop using that phrase and then maybe we`ll let you live. Marcee Tidwell: [upon seeing the fax] 1.5 million? Man, we owe more than that! Marcee Tidwell: [about everyone being so shocked at her anger] Well, I`m sorry but please remove your dick from my ass! Jerry Maguire: I will not rest until I have you holding a Coke, wearing your own shoe, playing a Sega game *featuring you*, while singing your own song in a new commercial, *starring you*, broadcast during the Superbowl, in a game that you are winning, and I will not *sleep* until that happens. I`ll give you fifteen minutes to call me back. Laurel: You fuck this up, I`ll kill you!
Jerry Maguire: I`m glad we had this talk. Rod Tidwell: You are hanging on by a very thin thread and I dig that about you! Ethan: Everybody loves you. Pisses me off. Jerry Maguire: I`m not trying to make history here. Rod has just told Jerry he will keep him as his agent]
Jerry Maguire: That`s, that`s great. I`m very... happy.
Rod Tidwell: Are you listenin`?
Jerry Maguire: Yes!
Rod Tidwell: That`s what I`m gonna do for you: God bless you, Jerry. But this is what you gonna do for me. You listenin`, Jerry?
Jerry Maguire: Yeah, what, what, what can I do for you, Rod? You just tell me what can I do for you?
Rod Tidwell: It`s a very personal, a very important thing. Hell, it`s a family motto. Are you ready, Jerry?
Jerry Maguire: I`m ready.
Rod Tidwell: I wanna make sure you`re ready, brother. Here it is: Show me the money. Oh-ho-ho! SHOW! ME! THE! MONEY! A-ha-ha! Jerry, doesn`t it make you feel good just to say that! Say it with me one time, Jerry.
Jerry Maguire: Show you the money.
Rod Tidwell: Oh, no, no. You can do better than that, Jerry! I want you to say it with you, with meaning, brother! Hey, I got Bob Sugar on the other line; I bet you he can say it!
Jerry Maguire: Yeah, yeah, no, no, no. Show you the money.
Rod Tidwell: No! Not show you! Show me the money!
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: Yeah! Louder!
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: Yes, but, brother, you got to yell that shit!
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: I need to feel you, Jerry!
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: Jerry, you got to yell!
Jerry Maguire: [screaming] Show me the money! Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: Do you love this black man!
Jerry Maguire: I love the black man! Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: I love black people.
Jerry Maguire: I love black people!
Rod Tidwell: Who`s your motherfucker, Jerry?
Jerry Maguire: You`re my motherfucker!
Rod Tidwell: Whatcha gonna do, Jerry?
Jerry Maguire: Show me the money!
Rod Tidwell: Unh! Congratulations, you`re still my agent. Laurel: I`m incapable of small talk. Jerry Maguire: How`s your head?
Rod Tidwell: Bubblicious. Avery Bishop: If you ever want me to be with another woman for you, I`d do it. It`s not something I`m interested in. Once, yeah, it seemed normal, but it was just a phase, a college thing, like torn Levi`s or law school for you. Would you like something from the kitchen? I`m gonna get some fruit. Copy store clerk: That`s how you become great, man. Hang your balls out there! Ray: D`you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?
Jerry Maguire: Did you know that Troy Aikman, in only six years, has passed for 16,303 yards?
Ray: D`you know that bees and dogs can smell fear?
Jerry Maguire: Did you know that the career record for hits is 4,256 by Pete Rose who is NOT in the Hall of Fame?
Ray: D`you know that my next door neighbor has three rabbits?
Jerry Maguire: I... I can`t compete with that! Avery Bishop: There is a sensitivity thing that some people have. I don`t have it. I don`t cry at movies, I don`t gush over babies, I don`t buy Christmas presents 5 months early, and I DON`T tell the guy who just ruined both our lives, "Oh, poor baby." But I do love you. Jerry Maguire: Have you ever gotten the feeling that you aren`t completely embarassed yet, but you glimpse tomorrow`s embarrassment? Avery Bishop: There is no real loyalty, and the first person who taught me that was you.
Jerry Maguire: I figure I was trying to sleep with you at the time.
Avery Bishop: Well, it worked. [Dorothy enters kitchen, catching Laurel eavesdropping]
Laurel: I heard.
Dorothy: No kidding. I looked over and saw the shadow of two curious shoes under the kitchen door.
Laurel: Dorothy, this guy would go home with a gardening tool if it showed interest. Dorothy: I love him! I love him for the man he wants to be. And I love him for the man he almost is. Dorothy: I just want to be inspired. Dorothy: He`s coming over.
Laurel: Tonight?
Dorothy: He just lost his best client. I invited the guy over.
Laurel: Dorothy, this is not a guy. It`s a syndrome. Early mid-life. Hanging on to the bottom wrong. "Dear God, don`t let me be alone or I call my newly long suffering assistent without medical for company settlement." If now all you still want is him to come over, I`m not saying anything.
Dorothy: Honey, he`s engaged. Rod Tidwell: Who`s your motherfucker?
Jerry Maguire: You`re my motherfucker! Dorothy: I`ve had three lovers in the past four years, and they all ran a distant second to a good book and a warm bath. Dorothy: Maybe love shouldn`t be such hard work. Dicky Fox: If this
[points to heart]
Dicky Fox: is empty, this
[points to head]
Dicky Fox: doesn`t matter. Jerry Maguire: You see this jacket I`m wearing, you like it? Because I don`t really need it, because I`m cloaked in failure! Jerry Maguire: Jump in my nightmare, the water`s warm!
Jerry Maguire: The fuckin zoo is closed, Ray.
Ray: You said fuck.
Jerry Maguire: Uh... yeah... I...
Ray: Don`t worry. I won`t tell. Jerry Maguire: What do you want from me? My soul?
Dorothy: Why not? I deserve that much. Jerry Maguire: This is going to change everything.
Dorothy: Promise? Jerry Maguire: I won`t let you get rid of me.
Jerry Maguire: I love you. You... you complete me. And I just...
Dorothy: Shut up, just shut up. You had me at "hello". Dorothy: I have this great guy. And he loves my son. And he sure does like me a lot. Rod Tidwell: Show me the money! Marcee Tidwell: [shouting, to Jerry] What do you stand for?
Dorothy: How about a little piece of integrity in this world that is so full of greed and a lack of honorability that I don`t know what to tell my son! Except, "Here. Have a look at a guy who isn`t yelling `Show me the money." Did you know he`s broke? He is broke and working for you for free! Broke. Broke, broke, broke. I`m sorry I`m just not as good at the insults as she is.
Marcee Tidwell: No, that was pretty good. Jerry Maguire: Show me the money! Jerry Maguire: That`s more than a dress. That`s an Audrey Hepburn movie. Ray: What`s wrong, Mommy?
Dorothy: First class, that`s what`s wrong. It used to be a better meal, now it`s a better life. [last lines]
Dicky Fox: Hey, I don`t have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success. Jerry Maguire: But if anybody else wants to come with me, this moment will be the ground floor of something real and fun and inspiring and true in this godforsaken business and we will do it together! Who`s coming with me besides...”Flipper" here? [Looking over an inadequate contract]
Jerry Maguire: I`ll go back to them.
Marcee Tidwell: And say what? "Please remove your dick from my ass"? Marcee Tidwell: I`m sorry, I`m just a little pregnant here. Dorothy: I was inspired, and I`m an accountant. Matt Cushman: [to Jerry] What you do have is my whole word, and it`s stronger than oak.
[shakes Jerry`s hand]
Matt Cushman: . Jerry Maguire: We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you. You... complete me. Rod Tidwell: I feel for you, man. But a real man wouldn`t shoplift the pootie from a single mom.
Jerry Maguire: I didn`t shoplift the pootie.
[Rod gives him a long Look]
Jerry Maguire: All right. I shoplifted the pootie.
Dorothy: I`m sorry, I`m just not as good at the insults as she is.
Marcee Tidwell: No, that was pretty good.
Rod Tidwell: No shit. Jerry Maguire: I hated myself... no, I hated my place in the world. [Having sex with Jerry Maguire]
Avery Bishop: Don`t ever stop fucking me! Rod Tidwell: Jerry Maguire... How`m I doing? I`m sweating dude! I`m sweatin` my contract! I`m sweating Bob Sugar calling me, telling me I`m missing the big endorsements by being with you! THAT`S how I`m doing - I`m sweating dude! Rod Tidwell: I am a valuable commodity! I go across the middle! I see a dude coming at me, trying to kill me, I tell myself "Get killed. Catch the ball!` BOO YA! Touchdown! I make miracles happen!
Jerry Maguire: Rod...
Rod Tidwell: I`m from Arizona Jerry! I broke Arizona records! I went to Arizona State! I`m a Sun Devil, man!
Jerry Maguire: And now you want Arizona dollars?
Rod Tidwell: Exaaaacctly! Jerry Maguire: Don`t worry, I`m not gonna do what you all think I`m gonna do, which is, you know, FLIP OUT! Rod Tidwell: Ya know! Ya know! We`re together on this one! Ya know! Ya know!
Jerry Maguire: Oh my god. Jerry Maguire: Rod, think about back when you were a little kid. It wasn`t about the money, was it? Was it?
[Questionably]
Jerry Maguire: Was it? Jerry Maguire: Help me... help you. Help me, help you.
Rod Tidwell: Thanks for coming.
Jerry Maguire: I missed ya. What can I say? You`re all I`ve got. [Jerry and Dorothy are in the elevator and a hearing impaired couple gets on. The man of the couple starts talking with his hands, then they get off]
Jerry Maguire: I wonder what he just said.
Dorothy: My favorite aunt is hearing impaired. He just said "You complete me". Avery Bishop: You are Jerry Ma-fucken-guire! Jerry Maguire: I started talking to Dennis Wilburn about your re-negotiation this morning.
Rod Tidwell: Talking. Jerry Rice, Andre Reed, Chris Carter... I smell all these fools. They are making the big sweet dollars. They are making the... quan, and you are talking. Rod Tidwell: You tell me to eat lima beans, I`ll eat lima beans Rod Tidwell: Quit using that word. "Quan", that`s my word! Rod Tidwell: You`re my ambassador of quawn, man. Sign in Locker Room: A positive anything is better than a negative nothing. Rod Tidwell: Jerry Maguire, my agent. You`re my ambassador of Kwan.
Rod Tidwell: Is it my imagination or, didn`t we arrive in a limo? Rod Tidwell: You bet on me like I bet on you. [first lines]
Jerry Maguire: So this is the world, and there are almost six billion people on it. When I was a kid, there were three. It`s hard to keep up. [Jerry Maguire is lying in bed one morning when suddenly the radio comes on and wakes him up with a jolt]
[flash to Dickey Fox in his office]
Dicky Fox: I love the mornings! I clap my hands every morning and say, `This is gonna be a great day!`
[flash back to Jerry Maguire who accidentally steps on a toy]
Jerry Maguire: [mutters] I don`t believe this. How`d I get myself into this? Rod Tidwell: Maybe you don`t. Because it`s not just the money I deserve. It`s not just the "coin." It`s the... - "the kwan".
Jerry Maguire: That`s your word?
Rod Tidwell: Yeah, man, it means love, respect, community... and the dollars too. The package. The kwan.
Jerry Maguire: But how did you get "kwan?"
Rod Tidwell: I got there from "coin," dude. Coin, coin... kwaaaan. Rod Tidwell: No, I air-dry.Trivia /. ., The title role was written for Tom Hanks.
#
# Eric Stoltz`s character in this film is Ethan Valhere. Stoltz also played a character named Valhere in Say Anything... (1989), also directed by Cameron Crowe. #
# Jann Wenner, who plays the character Scully, is the publisher of Rolling Stone Magazine, for which writer-director Cameron Crowe once worked. When Jerry is helping Dorothy move, one of the boxes has the game Risk. In Almost Famous (2000), another Cameron Crowe movie, a box Anita`s boyfriend is carrying when he is helping her move also has the game Risk. Shortly before the movie`s release, Detroit Lions head coach Wayne Fontes was fired. His brief role was not cut from the final edit of the film.
This was Tom Cruise`s fifth consecutive $100-million-plus film, a new record. #
# The scene in which Jerry and Ray are talking in the living room for the first time, was completely adlibbed. Director Cameron Crowe wanted to create a genuine "feel" between the two and did so by not having a written dialogue for that particular scene. #
# Cameron Crowe has stated that Jerry`s memo/mission statement was directly influenced by Jeffrey Katzenberg`s tirade after leaving Disney. Cameron Crowe wanted his hero, legendary film director Billy Wilder, to play Dicky Fox. Wilder had agreed to think about it, but on the first day of filming, Wilder refused to play the role. So Crowe took Tom Cruise to Wilder`s office to try to convince him, and Wilder still said no. Later, Crowe and Wilder became friends and Crowe wrote a book about Wilder`s life. #
# Two Paul McCartney instrumentals are used in the movie, "Momma Miss America" (during the airport montage) and "Singalong Junk" (during Jerry and Dorothy`s first kissing scene on the porch), both from the 1970 album "McCartney." Cameron Crowe received McCartney`s permission without ever having met him, instead sending a tape of the film to the latter`s office. The two would actually meet for the first time five years later in L.A., and the result of that meeting was McCartney composing the title song to Crowe`s movie Vanilla Sky (2001), which earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. The long haired at the CopyMat is ex-`Alice In Chains` guitarist Jerry Cantrell.
Winnie Holzman, creator of `My So-Called Life (1994)`, appears in scenes involving the divorced women`s group. She`s the one who says, "these holidays make me feel more divorced".
Cameron Crowe`s mother appears among those attending the divorced women`s group. She is the one who says, "I finally got in touch with my anger." When Dorothy and Ray drop off Jerry at the airport and look at the family saying goodbye (a mother and child are seeing off the father), the three people shown are the stand-ins for Tom Cruise, Renée Zellweger and Jonathan Lipnicki who worked on the film. Jonathan Lipnicki showed up on the set one day telling everyone that, "the human head weighs eight pounds". Cameron Crowe liked it so much he wrote it into the script. Tom Cruise has said that his character was based in part on Sydney Falco from Sweet Smell of Success (1957) (played by Tony Curtis). Tom Cruise did not remember that Bonnie Hunt was in Rain Man (1988). At first he thought she was joking when she said they had worked together before. Parker Posey was originally considered for the role of Dorothy Boyd.
Cameron Diaz was considered for the role of Dorothy Boyd. Cameron Crowe offered the Dorothy Boyd role to Janeane Garofalo, if she could lose weight, but after trimming down, she learned that Renée Zellweger had won the part instead in what was to become a career-launching smash hit.
Jamie Foxx auditioned for the role later given to Cuba Gooding Jr. Mira Sorvino auditioned for the role of Dorothy Boyd Courtney Love was considered for the role of Dorothy Boyd.
The stock footage of the airplane taking off is the same stock footage that was used for the airplane take off sequence in Billy Wilder`s film Avanti! (1972).
#
# The song that Couch is playing when Jerry enters his hotel room on the night of the draft is "Something In The Way" by `Nirvana`.
Diane Lane auditioned for the role of Avery Bishop.
Cameo: [Rick Reilly] Sports writer holding a camera behind Jerry after Rod gets up after being "hurt". The parts of Dorothy and Jerry were originally written for Winona Ryder and Tom Hanks. Hanks was unable to commit to the project due to his work on That Thing You Do! (1996). Ryder was able to commit, but when screen tests were done with Tom Cruise, they "looked like brother and sister" when standing together. Director Cameron Crowe was a big fan of The Apartment (1960) and used Shirley MacLaine as a model for the kind of woman he wanted for Dorothy Boyd. Renée Zellweger admitted that the day she was cast in this film, it had been so long since she had worked that when she went to an ATM, she did not have enough of a balance to make a withdrawal. The baseball field at the end of the film is the same field used in Hook (1991). Two lines from the film, "Show me the money" and "You had me at hello", are in the AFI`s top 100 movie quotes (at numbers 25 and 52, respectively). The movie`s line "Show me the money." was voted as the #80 of "The 100 Greatest Movie Lines" by Premiere in 2007. Artie Lange filmed a small role but his scene was deleted. The song playing when Dorothy and Jerry first have sex is "Haitian Fight Song" by Charles Mingus. This is the answer to Jerry`s question "What IS this music?".
John Travolta was considered for the role of Jerry Maguire. Ranked #10 on the American Film Institute`s list of the 10 greatest films in the genre "Sports" in June 2008. The story for Jerry Maguire is reportedly based on real-life Orange County agent Leigh Steinberg (who actually makes a cameo in the film as Troy Aikman`s agent, which he was in real-life too). Steinberg`s ex-partner David Dunn tried to lure away many of Steinberg`s clients, just as Jay Mohr`s Bob Sugar does in the film. Former NFL defensive back Tim MacDonald is credited to have come up with the phrase "Show me the money!" while he was a member of the Arizona Cardinals.
The role of Bob Sugar, Jerry McGuire`s unethical archenemy (played by Jay Mohr) was allegedly based on the real life sports agent Drew Rosenhaus, known for similar tactics.
#
# Cuba Gooding Jr.`s character in the film is named "Rod Tidwell" and played for the Arizona Cardinals football team. Tidwell`s name may be inspired by Bill Bidwill, the owner of the team for 45 years who oversaw the team`s move from St. Louis to Arizona. At one point in the film, Tom Cruise`s character says, "That`s truth. Can you handle it?", a reference to the famous line from A Few Good Men (1992), which also starred Tom Cruise. The Cardianl - Cowboy game in which at the end of the movie was actually an ABC Monday Night Football game played on Monday December 25, 1995. In the movie the Cardinals won, in real life the Cowboys won 37 - 31. At one point in the film, a poster of Janet Jackson, is seen hanging on a wall in Tee Pee`s (Aries Spears`s) room. Jackson reportedly read for the part of Marcee Tidwell, but lost it to her Poetic Justice (1993) costar Regina King. | ||
