Jerry Maguire (1996)
The film: Tom Cruise stars as the titular down-on-his-luck sports agent trying to salvage his career by capitalizing on the good hands of Rob Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals.
The line: "Show me the money."
The setup: Said by Tidwell to Maguire as Maguire frantically tries to keep Tidwell from switching to another agent. Actually, said might not be the right word. More like screamed — back and forth over the telephone for nearly a minute.
