Quotes 

• Jimmy : Johnny, it's not for me to say, but I think you're making a big mistake.

  Johnny Johnson : Jimmy, PLEASE don't tell me how to run your business- which again is now mine.

• Jimmy : Oh, Johnny, by the way, you know when I told you you'd lost some weight?

  Johnny Johnson : Yeah.

  Jimmy : Well, I lied, you look like hell. Go find a treadmill, you fat son of a bitch.

• Max : Mr. James, I just want you to know I am no longer friends with Johnny. I cannnot be friends with some one who would hurt you so badly.

  Jimmy : That's good, Max.

  [Johnny Johnson passes by] 

  Max : Hey, boss. Hot towel?

  [gives Johnny a towel] 

  Max : [to Jimmy]  It's lukewarm at best.

• Johnny Johnson : While you were on the lam, your board of directors elected me CEO.

  Jimmy : That's impossible. My board of directors would never do that.

  [Johnny gives him a folder; looks inside] 

  Jimmy : Of course, I didn't think my board would have naked hot tub orgies. So you blackmailed them, did you?

  Johnny Johnson : No, I bribed them. I gave a naked hot tub orgy.

• Lisa : Mr. James, how do you respond to the accusations that you are celebrated hijacker D.B. Cooper?

  Jimmy : I will beat the white devil by any means necessary.

  Lisa : I'm sorry?

  Jimmy : I've been reading the Autobiography of Malcolm X. Remember, kids. Fight the power! Also, I want to give a little shout out to all my peeps in lockdown, and University of Florida Gators rules! All right, let's do this.

• Dave : Sir, did you really have a plan, or was all that just dumb luck?

  Jimmy : Dave, what you call dumb luck was really... let's go get that drink.

• Jimmy : Where is Johnny?

  Dave : In there, waiting like a lamb to slaugther.

  Jimmy : Want me to slaughter him?

  Dave : Yes, please.

  Jimmy : All right. The Angel of Death has spoken. You may watch if you like.

• Jimmy : Here's my plan. I will get back my empire from Johnny... someway... somehow.

  Dave : That's your plan?

  Joe : Awesome plan, dude.

  Jimmy : Thank you.

  Matthew : I know a way to make it even awesomer. One, you get back the empire, and two, you take us all out for banana splits afterwards.
