Joe and Jimmy Banter in the Car, Explained：circumvent
Joe and Jimmy trade insults on the drive, and the talk drifts from football to Cory's expensive apartment and the question of who really loved whom. "It's called a vocabulary. You read much?" Joe asks, before the two of them break into the flat and find something far worse than a security system.
あらすじ
Riding together, Joe and Jimmy bicker their way through the night. Jimmy is mistaken for an old drug dealer, then explains he played for the L.A. Stallions. The talk turns to Cory's apartment and the rent Jimmy has been paying, and Joe answers with sarcasm, joking that he believes in love the way he believes in cancer.

What's really going on
Underneath the jokes, the two men are already circling the same emptiness. Jimmy insists that Cory loved him rather than the rich men she could have had, and Joe's reply is the thesis of his character: "Yeah, I believe in love. I believe in cancer." He says it as a gag, but it lands because he means it — love and disease are both things that happen to you and leave damage behind. The banter also does quiet character work: Joe is smarter than he looks, correcting Jimmy's vocabulary while they plan a break-in, and the film lets their partnership form out of nothing more than traded insults. It is only when they get inside that the tone drops.
Theme
HeartbreakJoe jokes that he believes in love the same way he believes in cancer, hiding an old wound behind the gag.
FriendshipJoe and Jimmy build a working partnership almost entirely out of traded insults.
