Musical chairs...

Chloe: You realy are the Zen master of seating charts.
Jimmy: More the master of musical chairs. But now that this is over,
(Chloe had an amnesia but she recovered) I don't want to see,
sit, or stand on another chair for a good long while.
Chloe: Well, then let's just live on the couch.
Okay, Jimmy is using the musical meaning the second time
and the informal meaning the first, right? And they're making a word play, aren't they?

org/wiki/Musical_chairs From what I can understand in this scene, Jimmy has been moving around the chairs, and he now thinks it's similar to the game musical chairs. Chloe then says that they should just stay on the couch and not interact with the chairs anymore.
