There. Cat. I'm using the C at the end of your word, Jake.
Jake MalinakWhich one?

There. Cat. I'm using the C at the end of your word, Jake.
Jake MalinakWhich one?
Xebec.
I still say that's not a word.
Jake MalinakBob, I told you. It's a antiquated tri-masted Mediterranean sailing vessel.
NONE OF THOSE ARE WORDS!
All right, smartass. It's your turn.
Read 'em and weep. J-U-G-G-S. Juggs!
Not a word.
Yes, it is! Jake's news stand! Magazines, top shelf!
Jake MalinakForget about it, Bob. It's a proper noun. Besides, we already let you have melons, boobs, and Hooters.
Scrabble with Jake?
What, you think we're taking advantage of him?
No, I think he's taking advantage of you. He played in the National Championships like, three different times.
Excuse me?!
Jake MalinakWell, I only won once.
Jake, you hustled us!
Well, now technically, it's not hustling unless you were dumb enough to play for money.
I thought it was a sure thing! He's blind! I mean, the man's been throwing fish food in his toilet for the last five years!
[After Chris turns down Bob's offer of a date]
Wow, she's so nice!
Jake MalinakBob, she blew you off.
Yeah, she was just letting you down easy.
That's what I mean! Usually, I just get a kick in the groin and a face-full of pepper spray!
[After hearing Becker is living in Bob's apartment]
Jake MalinakYou're staying with Bob!? Is there anything you wanna talk to me about?
I told you, my apartment is filled with 'roaches! [shudders] Urgh, 'roaches!
[shudders] Urgh, Bob!
[Becker storms into the diner]
You know what I hate!?
Jake MalinakWho's got the list?
[Bob walks into the diner]
You guys aren't gonna believe what just happened! I just came from the gym-
Jake MalinakThe gym!? I thought the judge said you couldn't go back there!
That was the old gym! Anyway, I'm standing in front of this big window, watching an abs and ass class, when suddenly, they wheel some guy by with a sheet over his head!
Jake MalinakWas he dead?
[sarcastically] No, he was in a Halloween costume. Yeah, he was dead! Anway, the poor schmuck keeled over on the treadmill. [worried] He was in his thirties, just like me! I mean, you spend years building a life-wife, kids, career- then one day, it's over!
Jake MalinakWell, you got nothing to worry about; you got none of those things! [cackles]
Neither do you! [Jake abruptly stops laughing]
[Bob is trying to get reparations for being 1/64th Native American]
You people have no idea what it's like to be discriminated against!
Jake MalinakYeah, I'm a blind black man, we just SAIL through life.
JakeI told you I don't wanna sell these.
You're not, they're selling themselves.
JakeGet rid of them.
You don't want me to do that. Look how much money you made.
[Hector hands a big wad of money to Jake]
JakeHey, you know, I don't care. Listen, what I have on display up here reflects who I am, all right? And I want this to be one corner of the world where decent people can by and not be offended. So unwrap these magazines and put 'em down there.
What about your "corner of the world"?
JakeOh, my corner of the world is still gonna be pure. However, down there in Porn Town, that's where Jake pays the rent.
Jake, you've got to see this.
Jake MalinakI'm blind.
All right, people, give me your money!
Jake MalinakDoes he have a gun?
No.
Jake MalinakNo.
Jake MalinakWait a minute, this guy's really good-looking, isn't he?
I could lick his face like a Dove bar.
Know what I hate?
Jake MalinakWho's got the list?
