"What does a yellow light mean?" - The TAXI quote thread

One where Jim is reminiscing about a girl he once knew (from a picture he found or something).

Jim, in college, being encouraged by his girlfriend to try “just one bite” of her “special” brownies:

Taxi vignettes:
Jim, on being introduced to two gorgeous, identical twin “playmates”: “Egg split in the womb, eh?”
Alex, describing Jim: “His porch light is flickering, if you know what I mean.”
Play while staring at a pair of enormous pants draped over a sofa: “You are the sunshine of my life…”

Jim rant highly paraphrased:
