Lonesome Jim (2005)

Quotes

Lonesome Jim

Edit
  • Jim: I mean, I'm a fuck-up, but you're a goddam tragedy.
  • Evil: Because when you point a finger at somebody else, you're pointing three at yourself and a thumb at the sky.
  • Jim: "Dear Mum, I don't know where to start so I'll just begin with the end and work my way back. I came home because I ran out of money and nowhere else to go. If I had any other option I would have taken it. I did not consider having a place to come home to a blessing. Instead, I thought of it as a burden and a symbol of failure. I'm ashamed to admit that growing up I pitied you and what I thought was your naive belief that our dreams could come true, simply by virtue of having them. Because the truth, as I witnessed it, was completely different. The truth actually was that nothing worked out, and no-one anywhere lived a life they wanted. But I see now that it was me with the naive belief. I thought if I resigned myself to disappointment at least I'd be better off than those people that tried and failed. And I hate myself for realising this now, and for taking and taking from you without giving anything back. You're one of the few good peaches in a world full of rotten fruit, Mum. I promise not to waste anymore time or take your love for granted ever again. I love you so much. Jim."
  • Jim: I sort of came back to have a nervous breakdown, but my brother beat me to it.
  • Jim: You have a girlfriend, Evil?
  • Evil: Nah. I use hookers. It's cheaper.
  • Jim: What's your problem Anika?
  • Anika: Nothing JIm.
  • Anika: Just, you can't ask a girl to move one thousand and eighty-two miles with you unless you're really going to follow through.
  • Jim: Why wouldn't I follow through?
  • Anika: Because, you don't know what it would be like.
  • Jim: What would it be like?
  • Anika: Difficult. Very Difficult.
  • Jim: Well, great. I'm used to challenges.
  • Anika: You're used to avoiding them.
  • Uncle Stacy: Tim or Jim?
  • Jim: Um, Jim... the one not in a coma.
  • Jim: The past does not always predict the future.
  • [last lines]
  • Ben: I thought you never ran.
  • Jim: Mom! You're home!
  • Sally: Yep.
  • Jim: How?
  • Sally: Something called bail. One of the girls in prison told me about it. Apparently your father never realized it was an option.
  • Jim: There's so many fun and cheery people in the world. Don't you think you'd be better off with one of them? Someone more like yourself?
  • Anika: You think I'm fun and cheery?
  • Jim: Of course you are.
  • Evil: Come on. There's not a jury in the world that's gonna believe that that woman is sellin' drugs. But they will believe a guy like me does.
  • Jim: You do, Evil.
  • Evil: See!
  • Evil: What do you think of that weed?
  • Jim: It's a little strong.
  • Evil: Yeah, I put a little crack in it.
