Quotes from Me and Mr. Jones


Marilyn: Hello, boys. Grace, you must have a very understanding husband.

James: Ah, the smell of an off-Broadway theater. It's always worse than you remember.

Jack: The theater is... well, it's my life. I live it, I breathe it, I fondle it 'til it falls asleep. But more importantly, I respect it. By the way, do you know what play we're doing?

Karen: Would it be forward if I asked you to lift me above your head?
James: I'm sorry, I hurt my back doing that for Kevin Costner.

James: It doesn't matter if you have one line, or 437 like me, you and I are the same. Yes, I have two Tonys, and the most recognizable voice on the planet. Otherwise, you and I are the same.

James: I don't need this crap at my age. I've got Darth Vader money.

James: You gonna make me bring up my Tonys?
Karen: Ah, enough with those bowling trophies. Honey, that's an award they invented to keep gay men off the street for a night.

James: I haven't been to a class since Lee Strasberg. I sat between Marlon Brando and Shelly Winters.
Karen: Honey, no offense, but how did that bench not break?
James: Who said it didn't?

Jack: We gotta lose the James Earl Jones and find the James Girl Jones.

Grace: Oy, goyim.

Karen: Oh, honey, this isn't one of those shows where everyone wears a hat.

Grace: Mr. Jones, hi, I'm a friend of Jack's and I just wanted to tell you that you were brilliant.
James: That's very kind of you, but no, I will not record your outgoing message.

James: You're a lovely person, Jack, but I'd rather share the stage with a dashboard bobble-head.
