A scene from Jerry Maguire 1996
Sugar

I came here to let you go.

Jerry

Pardon me?

Sugar

Came here to fire you, Jerry. It's real, Jerry. You... you should say something.

Jerry

Aw shit...the crowded restaurant... so there's no scene...

Sugar

I know. It sucks. I suck.

Jerry

You...

Sugar

You did this to yourself. You said "fewer clients." You put it all on paper. Scully was very upset. Heart attacks make some people sweeter, but not him. You did this to yourself -- although I do gotta hand it to you. For about five minutes you had everyone applauding smaller revenues.

Jerry

You... ungrateful... unctuous...

Sugar

... dick?

Jerry

Dick.

Sugar

Give me a little credit for doing this face-to-face! What I went through knowing I was going to do this to my mentor! Can you get past yourself for a second?

Jerry

You'll lose.

Sugar

You wanted smaller.

Jerry

I'm over it. Now I want all my clients and yours too.

Sugar

Jerry --

Jerry

-- and I'll get 'em.

Sugar

You'll always be my hero, Jerry. Always always always. We're bringing other elements in, we're focusing on endorsements -- it's not about handholding anymore. We're no longer babysitters.
