Jude quotes from Hit the Floor

Lionel

Unless you’re seeing someone?

Jude

Actually I am seeing someone, but they won't care. They don't seem to be the, uh, possessive type.

Lionel

You said they twice. You're playing the pronoun game. My brother played the pronoun game, wound up married to a gay biker in Providence. You’re loving on a guy.

Jude

He’s not a biker in Providence, but yeah… it's a guy.

Jude

Pretty nasty rumor about Terrence.

Zero

Not a rumor.

Jude

You did this. What do you know?

Zero

Well, let's just say, the wall is coming down. Get it?

Jude

Wouldn't Derek be the better target? If Terants really is injured, isn't Derek too bigger threat?

Zero

I don't have anything on Derek.

Jude

You heard my conversation with Derek about the coke. You could have used it to hurt him, but you didn't because it would hurt me.

Zero

Don't make a thing out of it. My folks gave me up. The foster parents who collected the kids to collect the checks. You think I came up with Zero? That's what they called me. Zero. I kept it. I showed them how big Zero could be.

Jude

What's your real name?

Zero

...I'm telling you this for a reason. Just because people are supposed to care about you, it doesn't mean that they will. The sooner you forget about Oscar, the better off you'll be.

Zero

Did you close any of those endorsement deals? I mean, negotiations are taking forever.

Jude

You're still in PR jail. It's gonna take more than the possibility of a championship to push the boulder up the hill. It's gonna take more than a ring. If you want your life back, you need MVP.

Zero

You're wound up tight. Even for you. Something happened today?

Jude

Congratulations. Bring number two.

Zero

I didn't come here to be some schmuck on a team. I came here to be a star. That's what you promised me. Instead, I lost everything.

Zero

Are you still angry about that girl that I flirted with at the wedding?

Jude

Oh, What makes you think that?

Zero

I lied to everyone else, but you. I told you I don't do relationships.

Jude

No... you don't do relationships with guys. I do. You know how I know? Because I want one, with you. After the game, all I wanted to do was kiss you. And what would you have done? You would've freaked. Not because people would think you were gay, or bi, or... whatever you are. But because they would seen an ounce of anything real from you. You're so full of crap. One disguise after another. You're buried so deep in there, you don't even know yourself.

Zero

You just figure out you're gay, or whatever.

Jude

Not 'or whatever'.

Zero

And you're coming down on me?

Jude

You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m mad. Mad at myself. Mad at this situation. Mad that I need something from you. Mad that I can’t get it. Most of all, I’m mad that there’s nothing I can do about any of it.

Zero

Where are you going? You're my agent.

Zero

Gideon.

Jude

What?

Zero

That’s my name. Gideon.

Jude

I would love to take Gideon on a date. To a public place. And listen to him tell me exactly who he is. If you want that, give me a call sometime.

Jude

Can't help but notice there only girls in the picture.

Zero

I'm all the man it needs.

Zero

You didn't say no.

Jude

I didn't say yes either.

Jude

I can’t be your agent.

Zero

Why not?

Jude

Lionel offered me a job with the Devils.

Zero

That’s why you won’t work with me?

Jude

I always wanted to be a part of the Devils. She offered me EVP, I can’t turn it down.

Zero

EVP, that'd make you my boss? That's hot.

Lionel

Lucas is flirting with you.

Jude

What? I don't think so.

Lionel

I don't have time to stand here and talk you through your feelings about this. He wants you. I want Derek.

Jude

What are you saying?

Lionel

I'm saying get back in there, hike up your skirt and get that guy what he wants. Buy him drinks. You charm him, you take it from there.

Jude

I don't charm people, okay? I'm not a charmer. This is ridiculous.

Lucas

Are you coming on to me?

Jude

Lionel said you were flirting with me. I... I told her you weren’t.

Lucas

And she send you here to seduce me to get a better deal for Derek?

Jude

I...?

Lucas

Go Lionel.

Jude

Go?

Lucas

Well I mean I always had my eye on you in the office. I just… never knew you were gay.

Jude

It’s kinda a new thing for me anyway.

Lucas

Lucky me, ha.

Zero

What?

Jude

We both know what you just did and why you did it.

Jude

You won't be with me the way I want, but you don't want me with anyone else.

Jude

Don’t let Zero sabotage another date.

Lucas

Zero didn’t sabotage anything, Jude. You did. I mean you still clearly hung up on this other guy. Whoever he is.

Jude

I'm not going to be an afterthought.

Zero

I can't even imagine you being an afterthought. I think about you first all the time.

Jude

You’re the most screwed up person I’ve ever met. And the only person that makes me feel normal.

Jude

I think I'm wearing your underwear.

Zero

That's fine. I missed you, Jude.

Jude

I missed you, too.

Zero

Should I leave first or should you? What? What did I do?

Jude

It's not what you did. It's what I did. What I keep doing. Nothing’s changed. Same old story.

Zero

What are you talking about?

Jude

I'm still your secret. Something you have to hide.

Zero

You're being dramatic.

Jude

We're literally in a closet together!
