"I'm looking forward to it."
"Yeah, I think it'll be a very smooth transition for you."

- Elaine, at the bakery, in "The Dinner Party"

"You'd better be careful with that thing. You'll start a war."

- Jerry, in "The Dinner Party"

"Nobody takes better care of their hair than me. You can serve dinner on my head."

"I mean, we can put a man on the moon but we're still basically very stupid. The guy who's car this is, he could be one of the guys that built the rocket. You see what I'm saying?"
"Well, yeah, he can build the rocket, but he's still stupid for double-parking and blocking somebody in."
"So you really understand my point about building the rocket and double-parking?"
"On the one hand he's smart with rockets and on the other hand he's dumb with parking."

"Okay, I'm telling you right now. If you're kidding around I'm not going to be able to be your friend anymore. I'm serious about that. You got that?"
"I've got no problem with that."
"Good, because if this is a lie, if this is a joke, if this is your idea of some cute little game, we're finished."
"Expect a call."
"Oh my god, he's not kidding."
"Now I should tell you that at this point she's under the impression that you're a..."
"A what?"
"A marine biologist."

I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you Jerry, at that moment I was a marine biologist."
- George, in "The Marine Biologist"

"The sea was angry that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."
- George, in "The Marine Biologist"

- Kramer, telling Elaine about her lookalike mannequin, in "The Pie"

"It'll be a funky adventure."
- Kramer, inviting Elaine to scratch his back, in "The Pie"

"Madam, I pray you're not toying with me."
- The cashier at Monk's and Kramer, in "The Pie"

"A chef who doesn't wash is like a cop who steals. It's a cry for help. He wants to get caught."
- Jerry, in "The Pie"

"You guys ought to see the way she works her nails across my back. Ooooo! She's a maestro. The criss-cross, the figure-eight, strummin' on the old banjo. And this wild savage free-for-all where anything can happen."
- Kramer, in "The Pie"

"This woman is bending my mind into a pretzel."
- Jerry, in "The Pie"

"Well, at least you and I are talking about how there's nothing to talk about."

"She knows there's nothing to talk about."
"At least she'll be talking."
"Oh, shut up."

- Fulton and Jerry, in "The Stand-In"

"So how are the eggs?"
"Eggs are eggs."
"Eggs are eggs. That is very profound. By the same token, couldn't you say fish is fish? I don't think so."
- George and Daphne, in "The Stand-In"

"If I was a woman I'd be down on the dock waiting for the fleet to come in."

- Kramer, in "The Stand-In"

"He took it out."
- Elaine, after her first date with Jerry's friend, in "The Stand-In"

"I spend so much time trying to get their clothes off, I never thought of taking mine off."

"You've got a lot to learn about pancakes."
- Jerry, in "The Wife"

"I'm really enjoying this marriage thing. You think about each other, you care about each other. It's wonderful. Plus, I love saying 'my wife'. Once I started saying it, I couldn't stop. 'My wife' this, 'My wife' that. It's an amazing way to begin a sentence."
- Jerry, in "The Wife"

"Hey Elaine, what do you say, if neither of us is married in ten years, we get hitched?"
"Make it fifty."
"We're engaged!"
- Kramer and Elaine, in "The Wife"

"I respect that."
- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Wife"

- George and Elaine, in "The Wife"

"I guess I just wasn't ready for the responsibilities of a pretend-marriage."
- Jerry, in "The Wife"

*

"Maybe this will become a cool thing... Living with your parents."
"Yeah, and then maybe baldness will catch on. Things will all be turning your way."
- George and Jerrie, in "The Raincoats"

"Hey, believe me, baldness will catch on. When the aliens come, who do you think they're gonna relate to? Who do you think's gonna be the first ones getting a tour of the ship?"
- George, in "The Raincoats"

"They're so loud. They're always fighting. It's uncomfortable. You never notice?"
"Oh, I notice, but they're from your age group. I didn't think you could detect abnormal behavior among your own kind."

"How do you live with yourself?"
"It's not easy."
- A fireman and George, in "The Fire"

"So you feel 'women and children first' in this day and age is somewhat of an antiquated notion."
"To some degree."
"So, basically, it's every man, woman, child and invalid for themselves."
"In a manner of speaking."
"Well, that's honest."
"She should be commending me for treating everyone like equals."
"Well, perhaps when she's released from the burn center she'll see things more clearly."
- Jerry and George, in "The Fire"

"There's no precedent, baby!"
"What, are you using my babies now?"
- Jerry and George, in "The Fire"

"After he heckled Toby, she got so upset she ran out of the building and a street sweeper ran over her foot and severed her pinky-toe."
"That's unbelievable!"
"Yeah, then after the ambulance left, I found the toe. So, I put it in a Cracker Jack box, filled it with ice and took off for the hospital."
"You ran?"
"No, I jumped on the bus. I told the driver, 'I got a toe here buddy. Step on it!'"
"Holy cow!"
"Yeah yeah, then all of a sudden this guy pulls out a gun. Well, I knew any delay's gonna cost her her pinky-toe, so I got out of the seat and I started walking towards him. He says, 'Where do you think you're going, Cracker Jack?' I says, 'Well, I got a little prize for you, buddy.' Pwaa! Pwaa! Keeyah! Knocked him out cold!"
"How could you do that?"
"Yeah, then everybody is screaming because the driver, he's passed out because of all the commotion. The bus is out of control! So I grab him by the collar, I take him out of the seat, I get behind the wheel... Now I'm driving the bus!"
"You're Batman."
"Yeah, I am Batman. Then the mugger, he comes to and he starts choking me. So, I'm fighting him off with one hand and I kept driving the bus with the other. Then I managed to open up the door and I kicked him out the door with my foot at the next stop."
"You kept making all the stops?"
"Well, people kept ringing the bell!"
"What about the toe? What happened to the toe?"
"Well, I am happy to say that the little guy is back in place at the end of the line."
"You did all this for a pinky-toe?"
"Well, it's a valuable appendage."
- Kramer, George and Jerry, in "The Fire"

"I never tasted a cough medicine I didn't love."
- George, in "The Hamptons"

"Hey, Jerry, rub some lotion on my back."
"Who are you, Mrs. Robinson?"
"C'mon, and I'll rub some on you."
"That's not sweetening the deal."
- Kramer and Jerry, in "The Hamptons"

"This is weird, wild stuff. George hasn't even seen her yet."
"Why do you think we're getting the sneak preview?"
"Maybe she's trying to create a buzz."
"What?"
"You know, get some good word of mouth going."
- Jerry, Elaine and Kramer, observing observing a topless Jane, in "The Hamptons"

"Is it me, or was that the ugliest baby you have ever seen?"
"I couldn't look. It was like a Pekinese."
"Boy, a little too much chlorine in that gene pool."
- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Hamptons"

"The train was so crowded, I had to sit in a seat facing the wrong way."

- George, after Rachel saw him naked, in "The Hamptons"

"Oh, you mean... Shrinkage."
"Yes. Significant shrinkage."
"So you feel you were shortchanged."
"Yes. I mean, if she thinks that's me, she's under a complete misapprehension. That was not me, Jerry. That was not me."
- George and Jerry, in "The Hamptons"

"Do women know about shrinkage?"
"What do you mean, like laundry?"

"It shrinks?"
"Like a frightened turtle."
"Why does it shrink?"
"It just does."
"I don't know how you guys walk around with those things."
- George, Elaine and Jerry, in "The Hamptons"

"I think that you think that a certain something is not all that it could be, when, in fact, it is all that it should be... And more!"
"I'm sure it is."
"Look, you don't understand. There was shrinkage."
- George and Jane, in "The Hamptons"

*

"You got a raise?"
"I don't fool around, baby!"
- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Opposite"

"Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable. I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but I was perceptive. I always know when someone's uncomfortable at a party. It all became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I've ever made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat... It's often wrong."
- George, in "The Opposite"

"Bald men with no jobs and no money who live with their parents don't approach strange women."
- George, in "The Opposite"

"If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right."
- Jerry, to George, in "The Opposite"

"This guy could be a little bonkos."
- Regis Philbin, introducing Kramer, in "The Opposite"

"A job with the New York Yankees! This has been the dream of my life ever since I was a child, and it's all happening because I'm completely ignoring every urge towards common sense and good judgement I've ever had. This is no longer just some crazy notion, Elaine, Jerry. This is my religion."
"So I guess your messiah would be the Anti-Christ."
- George and Jerry, in "The Opposite"

"Get yourself some vitamin C with rose hips and bioflavenoids."
- Kramer, offering medical advice, in "The Opposite"

"Elaine, don't get too down. Everything will even out. See, I have two friends. You were up, he was down. Now he's up, you're down. You see how it all evens out for me?"
- Jerry, in "The Opposite"

*

"Now there's a career path you may have overlooked."
- Jerry, to Elaine, commenting on a group of Miss America contestants, in "The Chaperone"

- Jerry, in "The Chaperone"

"They should be wearing cotton."
- George, unhappy with the Yankee uniforms, in "The Chaperone"

"Not many people have grace."
"Well, you know, grace is a tough one. I like to think I have a little grace. Not as much as Jackie O...."
"You can't have a little grace. You either have grace or you don't."
"Okay, fine. I have no grace."
"And you can't acquire grace."
"Well, I have no intention of getting grace."
"Grace isn't something you can pick up at the market."
"Alright, alright, look, I don't have grace, I don't want grace, I don't even say grace, okay?"
"Thank you for coming in."
"Yeah yeah right."
- A personnel interviewer and Elaine, in "The Chaperone"

"I'm going out with one of the Miss America contestants. You want to go?"
"What state?"
"Rhode Island."
"They're never in contention."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Chaperone"

"Poise counts!"
- Kramer, in "The Chaperone"

"These doves were murdered."
- Kramer, in "The Chaperone"

"It's like watching an animal get tortured."

- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Kiss Hello"

"This is going to be my first opportunity to not kiss her hello."
"What is the big deal about putting your lips on somebody's face?"
"It's the obligation. You know, as soon as this person comes in, you know you have to do this. I mean, if you could, say, touch a breast as part of the kiss hello, then I think I could see the value in it a little better."
"How about an intercourse hello? How would that be?"

"The delicate genius has a policy!"
