I am out here for you. You don’t know what it’s like to be me out here for you. It is an up-at-dawn, pride-swallowing siege that I will never fully tell you about, OK? So, help me … Help me help you.

— Jerry Maguire, “Jerry Maguire”

I do not like the movie “Jerry Maguire.” In fact, I’d rather sit through another kidney stone extraction (I’ve had the procedure done twice now) than sit through that film ever again. But the scene above in which sports agent Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is pleading with his last remaining client, Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), is about the only redeeming quality of the entire flick.
