If you could, you'd guzzle it by the gallon... Ovaltine!? Hershey's!? Nestle's Quick!?"

"Is that why it's so hard to get an appointment?"
- Jerry and Tim Whatley, in "The Yada Yada"
"Kramer, he's just a dentist."
"Yeah, and you're an anti-dentite."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Yada Yada"
"Hi Mr. Abbott."
"That's Dr. Abbott, DDS. Tim Whatley was one of my students, and if this wasn't my son's wedding day I'd knock your teeth out, you anti-dentite bastard."
- Jerry and Dr. Abbott, in "The Yada Yada"
"Hey, what do you call a doctor who failed out of med school?"
"What?"
"A dentist."
- Beth and Jerry, in "The Yada Yada"

"Kramer, these balloons aren't going to stay filled 'til New Year's."
"Those aren't for New Year's. Those are my everyday balloons."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Millennium"
"You are looking at the next director of Mets scouting. Only thing is I have to get fired from the Yankees first."
"You can do that."
"Of course, but I really want to leave my mark this time. You know, I want to walk away from the Yankees with people saying, 'Wow, now that guy got canned.'"
"So you want to go out in a final blaze of incompetence."
"Yeah, remember that summer at Dairy Queen where I cooled my feet in the soft syrup machine?"
- George and Jerry, in "The Millennium"
"You think people will still be using napkins in the year 2000? Or is this mouth vacuum thing for real?"
- Kramer, in "The Millennium"
"What is a barometer exactly?"
"It's pronounced 'thermometer'."
- George and Kramer, in "The Millennium"
"So Jerry, my millennium party is really coming together. Will people be able to breathe under water in the year 2000?"
"Some of us."
"I don't want to exclude anybody."
- Kramer and Jerry, in "The Millennium"
"You can never have too much ice."
- Newman, in "The Millennium"
"For me, the next millennium must be Jerry-free."
- Newman, in "The Millennium"
"I never thought I'd fail at failing."
"Oh come on now."
"I can't do anything wrong."
"Nonsense. You do everything wrong."
"Everything?"
"Everything."
"You really think so?"
"Absolutely! I have no confidence in you."
"Alright. I guess I just have to pick myself up, dust myself off, and throw myself right back down again."
"That's the spirit! You suck!"
- George and Jerry, in "The Millennium"
"I guess I can accept a little Jerry if it gets me a lot of Elaine."
- Newman, in "The Millennium"

"Wait. Those are the clothes from the bag!"
"The guy never came back."
"He asked you to watch them, not wear them."
"I'm still watching them."
- Jerry and George, in "The Muffin Tops"
"When do you start to worry about ear hair?"
"When you hear like a soft rustling."
- George and Jerry, in "The Muffin Tops"
"Why is it every half-wit and sitcom star has his own book out now?"
- Mr. Littman, in "The Muffin Tops"
"I did something stupid."
"What'd you do?"
"Well, I was shaving, and I noticed an assymmetry in my chest hair. And I was trying to even it out. And the next thing I know... Gone!"
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Muffin Tops"
"So you're pretending to be a tourist?"
"It's beautiful. She makes all the plans. I'm not from around here, so it's okay if I'm stupid. And she knows I'm only in town visiting, so there's no messy breakups."
- Jerry and George, in "The Muffin Tops"
"The last thing this guy's qualified to give a tour of is reality."
- Jerry, about Kramer, in "The Muffin Tops"
"You know, if you take everything I've done in my entire life and condense it down into one day, it looks decent."
- George, in "The Muffin Tops"
"We have a bonus ultra-reality stop today. We're going to be hauling muffin stumps to the local repository."
"We're going to a garbage dump?"
"And we're off!"
"You know, I never thought he'd be able to recreate the experience of actually knowing him, but this is pretty close."
- Kramer, a Tourist, and Jerry, in "The Muffin Tops"

"Jerry, you got any Tums?"
"Stomach ache?"
"I drank too much water in the shower."
- Kramer and Jerry, in "The Summer of George"
"So, has the summer of George begun? Or are you still decomposing?"
"Decompressing."
- Jerry and George, in "The Summer of George"
"Can you believe she expected me to squire her around town while the dude sits at home in swaddling clothes?"
"Do they make swaddling clothes for adults?"
"It's like she's split the job of boyfriend into two jobs. Except the dude's playing the showroom and I'm stuck doing food and beverage."
- Jerry and George, in "The Summer of George"
"Listen to me. We're always sitting here. I'm always helping you with your girl problems, you're always helping me with my girl problems. Where do we end up?"
"Here."
"Exactly. Because neither one of us can handle a woman all by ourselves."
"I'm trying."
"I've tried. We don't have it. But maybe the two of us, working together, at full capacity, could do the job of one normal man."
"Then each of us would only have to be like a half-man. That sounds about right."
- George and Jerry, in "The Summer of George"
"What is so appealing to men about a catfight?"
"Because men think if women are grabbing and clawing at each other, there's a chance they might somehow kiss."
- Elaine and Jerry, in "The Summer of George"

"I feel like an out-of-work porn star."
- George, commenting on his mustache, in "The Butter Shave"
"Boy, a month in Europe with Elaine. That guy's coming home in a body bag."
- Kramer, in "The Butter Shave"
"Wait a minute. Do I have to ask?"
"Well, I ran out of butter, so I had to borrow yours. Anything else, Mr. Nosey?"
"Why are you buttering your face?"
"I'm shaving with it."
"Oh, Moses smell the roses!"
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Butter Shave"
"You know how hard it's getting just to tell people I know you?"
- Jerry, to George, in "The Butter Shave"
"I love that bathroom. It's got that high-high toilet. I feel like a gargoyle perched on the ledge of a building."
- George, in "The Butter Shave"
"You know, old friend, sometimes I ponder this silly gulf between us, and I say 'why?'. Are we really so different..."
"I'm not the one doing the cooking, Newman."
"Damn you Seinfeld. You're a useless pustule."
- Newman and Jerry, in "The Butter Shave"
"Oh man, I think I cooked myself."
- Kramer, in "The Butter Shave"
"I'm fried."
"Technically, you're sauteed. So what are you doing for that?"
"I just gotta keep my skin moist so I don't dry out."
"Is that what the doctor said?"
"I read an article in Bon Apetit Magazine."
- Kramer and Jerry, in "The Butter Shave"

"Breaking up is like knocking over a Coke machine. You can't do it in one push. You gotta rock it back and forth a few times, and then it goes over."
- Jerry, in "The Voice"
"I come up with these things, I know they're gold but nothing happens. You know why?"
"No resources, no skill, no talent, no ability, no brains, no..."
"No, no time! It's all these menial tasks. Laundry, grocery shopping, coming in here and talking to you. You have any idea how much time I waste in this apartment?"
"I could ballpark it."
- Kramer and Jerry, in "The Voice"
"You remember my corporation, Kramerica Industries?"
"Alright."
"Well, apparently NYU is very enthusiastic about their students getting some real world corporate experience."
"But you only provide fantasy world corporate experience."
- Kramer and Jerry, in "The Voice"
"I've been reviewing Darren's internship journal. Doing laundry, mending chicken wire, high tea with a Mr. Newman?"
"Well, it all sounds pretty glamourous, but it's business as usual at Kramerica."
"Far as I can tell, your entire enterprise is little more than a solitary man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken."
- Dean Jones and Kramer, in "The Voice"
"You know, Darren, if you had told me twenty-five years ago that some day I'd be standing here about to solve the world's energy problems, I would've said you were crazy. Now let's push this giant ball of oil out this window."
- Kramer, in "The Voice"

"Serenity now! Serenity now!"
"What is that?"
"The doctor gave me a relaxation cassette. When my blood pressure gets too high, the man on the tape tells me to say 'serenity now!'"
"Are you supposed to yell it?"
"The man on the tape wasn't specific."
- Frank and George, in "The Serenity Now"
"I've never seen you mad."
"I get peeved."
"Mad."
"Miffed."
"Mad."
"Irked."
"I would like to see you get really mad."
- Patty and Jerry, in "The Serenity Now"

- Jerry and George, in "The Serenity Now"
"I'm open. There's just nothing in there."
- Jerry, in "The Serenity Now"
"Starting tonight we're having a little sales contest. The loser gets fired. The winner gets a Water Pik."
- Frank, in "The Serenity Now"
"What's the matter?"
"It's Patty."
"Jerry, you break up with a girl every week."
"What is this salty discharge?"
"Oh my God, you're crying."
"This is horrible. I care."
- Elaine and Jerry, in "The Serenity Now"
"I don't know what's happening to me."
"Simple. You let out one emotion, all the rest will come. It's like Endora's Box."
"That was the mother on Bewitched. You mean Pandora."
"Yeah, well, she had one too."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Serenity Now"
"Serenity now, insanity later."
- Lloyd Braun, in "The Serenity Now"
"George, letting my emotions out was the best thing I've ever done. Sure, I'm not funny anymore, but there's more to life than making shallow, fairly obvious observations."
- Jerry, in "The Serenity Now"

"This Kruger guy is clueless. I can't wait to work for him."
- George, in "The Slicer"
"I haven't had a decent sandwich in thirteen years."

- Dr. Sara and Jerry, in "The Slicer"
"How was the doctor date?"
"It died on the table."
- Elaine and Jerry, in "The Slicer"
"Saving lives? She's one step above working at the Clinique counter."
"Dermatologists. Skin doesn't need a doctor."
"Of course not. Wash it, dry it, move on."
- George and Jerry, in "The Slicer"
"You call yourself life saver, I call you Pimple-Popper, M.D."
- Jerry, to Dr. Sara, in "The Slicer"

"Moles -- Freckle's ugly cousin."
- Kramer, in "The Slicer"
*
"So she coughed."
"Coughing? Naked? It's a turn-off, man."
"Everything goes with naked."
"When you cough there are thousands of unseen muscles that suddenly spring into action. It's like watching that fat guy catch a cannonball in his stomach in slow motion."
"You spoiled spoiled man. You know how much mental energy I expend just trying to picture women naked?"
"But the thing you don't realize is that there's good naked and bad naked. Naked hair brushing - good. Naked crouching - bad."
- George and Jerry, in "The Apology"
"You're probably wasting time working piece-meal, first cleaning one area and then another."
"Well, that's how cats do it."
"But when you have a faucet instead of a tongue, you want to use gravity."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Apology"
"Alright George, alright. I'm sorry. I'm very very sorry. I'm so sorry that I didn't want your rather bulbous head struggling to find its way through the normal size neckhole of my finely knit sweater."
- Henke, in "The Apology"
"Oh yeah yeah, I'm watching you too, but this guy's really showing me something."
- Kramer, observing men in a gym shower, in "The Apology"
"This is all in her mind, okay? She is insane. She thinks I made her sick because I coughed on her doorknob, rubbed her stapler in my armpit, and put her keyboard on my butt. Yeah... She's a whacko."
- Elaine, in "The Apology"
"Instead of an apology, he was be-boppin' and scattin' all over me."
- George, about Henke, in "The Apology"
"I am not here for rage. I'm here for revenge."
- George, at a Rage-aholics meeting, in "The Apology"
"He took you to Rage-aholics? Why?"
"Probably because this whole universe is against me!"
"I think you've got a little rage."
"I know. And now they want me to bottle it up. It makes me so mad!"
- Jerry and George, in "The Apology"
"What is wrong with my body?"
"Chicken wing shoulder blades."
- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Apology"
"The female body is a work of art. The male body is utilitarian. It's for gettin' around. It's like a Jeep."
- Elaine, in "The Apology"
"This food was in the shower with you?"
"Mmm hmm... I prepared it as I bathed."
- Elaine and Kramer, in "The Apology"

"You might not know it to look at me, but I can run really really fast."
- Jerry, in "The Strike"
"I got him Yankee tickets, he got me a piece of paper saying I've given your gift to someone else."
"To a children's charity."
"Don't you see how wrong that is? Where's your Christmas spirit!? An eye for an eye!"
- George and Jerry, in "The Strike"
"When George was growing up, his father hated all the commercial and religious aspects of Christmas, so he made up his own holiday."
"Oh... and another piece of the puzzle falls into place."
- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Strike"
"H&H wouldn't let us use their bathroom while we were picketing. It put a cramp in our solidarity."
- Kramer, in "The Strike"
"Why didn't you ever mention this?"
"Jerry, I didn't want you to know I was out of work. It's embarrassing."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Strike"
"So, attractive one day, not attractive the next."
"Have you come across this?"
"Yes, I am familiar with this syndrome. She's a two-face."
"Like the Batman villain?"
"If that helps you."
"So if I ask her out again, I don't know who's showing up -- the good, the bad, or the ugly."
- George and Jerry, in "The Strike"
"Happy Festivus, George!"
- Elaine, in "The Strike"
"Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way."
"What happened to the doll?"
"It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born... A Festivus for the rest of us!"
- Frank Costanza and Kramer, in "The Strike"
"At the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year."
"And is there a tree?"
"No. Instead, there's a pole. Requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting."
"Frank, this new holiday of yours is scratching me right where I itch."
- Frank and Kramer, in "The Strike"
"Yamahama, it's fright night!"
- Kramer, seeing Jerry's date in a bad light, in "The Strike"

"So Puddy wears a man-fur?"
"He was struttin' around the coffee shop like Stein Erickson."
- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"I'll sniff out a deal. I have a sixth sense."
"Cheapness is not a sense."
- George and Jerry, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"Now I can peek in and see if anyone is waiting to jack me with a sock full of pennies."
- Kramer, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"Nobody carries wallets anymore. They went out with powdered wigs."
- Kramer, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"Why are we in Jerry's apartment?"
"Well, I like to think of this as my conference room. It has a more formal atmosphere, you know, with the shelves... and the furniture."
- Silvio and Kramer, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"So now Joe Mayo wants me to buy him a new coat."
"Because you threw it out."
"No, because I was in charge of the coats. It's insane!"
"But you did actually throw his coat out the window?"
"But he doesn't know that. As far as he knows someone stole it, and that's the person who should be held responsible."
"But that's you."
"So I guess I'll have to buy him a new coat, even though I don't think I should be held responsible, which I am anyway."
- Elaine and Jerry, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"My back is killing me."
"Of course, because of that wallet! You've got a filing cabinet under half of your ass."
"This is an organizer, a secretary, and a friend."
- George and Jerry, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"I can't believe we're going dancing."
"You don't go that often?"
"No, because it's so stupid."
- Jerry and Keri, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"You know, sometimes I get the feeling George isn't being completely honest with me."
- Jerry, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"This is very much as I imagined it to be. Aside from this rattan piece which seems oddly out of place."
- Newman, entering Elaine's apartment for the first time, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"Hey Silvio. Just out for a little stroll in my favorite fur coat."
"That is your coat?"
"It sure is."
"Kramer says you need it because you're an entertainer and you're desperate for attention."
"That's true."
- Jerry and Silvio, in "The Reverse Peephole"
"Hey Silvio, look at Jerry here, prancing around in his coat with his purse. Yup, he's a dandy. He's a real fancy boy!"
- Kramer, in "The Reverse Peephole"
*
"I had 'em Jerry. They loved me."
"And then?"
"I lost 'em. I can usually come up with one good comment during a meeting, but by the end it's buried under a pile of gaffes and bad puns."
"Showmanship, George. When you hit that high note, say goodnight and walk off."
- George and Jerry, in "The Burning"
"You prefer dumb and lazy to religious?"
"Dumb and lazy I understand."
- Jerry and Elaine, in "The Burning"
"Bacterial meningitis... Jackpot!"
"Gonorrhea? You wanna trade?"
"Sorry buddy, this is the Hamlet of diseases. Severe pain, nausea, delusions... It's got everything."
- Mickey and Kramer, in "The Burning"
"I'm against all 'It's me's'. It's so self-absorbed and egotistical, like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes."
- George, in "The Burning"
"Alright, that's it for me! Be good everybody!"
- George, going out on a high note, in "The Burning"
"I'm going to make people feel my gonnorhea."
- Kramer, in "The Burning"
"Pull the old switcheroo."
"I think that's 'What's good for the goose is good for the gander.'"
"What the hell is a gander anyway?"
"It's a goose that's had the old switcheroo pulled on her."
- George and Jerry, in "The Burning"
"Is it a problem that I'm not really religious?"
"Not for me."
"Why not?"
"I'm not the one going to hell."
- Elaine and Puddy, in "The Burning"
"My boyfriend said I got gonnorhea from riding the tractor in my bathing suit."
- Sophie, in "The Burning"
"Don't you even care? This is your company. It's your name on the outside of the building. Speaking of which, the R fell off and all it says now is K-UGER."
"K-UGER. That sounds like one of those old time car horns, huh? K-UGER! K-UGER!"
"You are too much, Mr. Kruger. Too much!"
"Thank you George, you've been great. That's it for me!"
"What? No, no, you're not going out on a high note with me, Mr. Kruger."
"It's K-UGER!"
- George and Mr. Kruger, in "The Burning"

"To the idiot-mobile!"
- Jerry, to Kramer and Newman, in "The Bookstore"

"You sure have a lot of friends. How come I never see any of these people?"
"They want to know why they never see you."
- Jerry and Kramer, in "The Frogger"

- George, on his gaming skills, in "The Frogger"
"What is nice? Trying to fill the void in your life with flour and sugar and egg and vanilla? I mean, we are all unhappy. Do we have to be fat too?"
- Elaine, in "The Frogger"
"Well, I'm doing it Jerry. I'm buying that Frogger machine. Now the torch will burn forever!"
"Fabulous! See, now you're really doing something."
- George and Jerry, in "The Frogger"
"You know, the police, they found another victim of The Lopper in Riverside Park. I saw the photo... and it looked a lot like you."
"Oh come on, there's a lot of people walking around the city that look like me."
"Not as many as there used to be."
- Kramer and Jerry, in "The Frogger"
"Kramer, listen to me. I'm never going to have a child. If I lose this Frogger high score, that's it for me."
"Believe me, George, you can count on Slippery Pete."
- George and Kramer, in "The Frogger"
"She's a sentence finisher. It's like dating Mad Libs."
- Jerry, in "The Frogger"
"Guess what I ate!"
"An ostrich burger?"
"No, a $29,000 piece of cake. Peterman got it at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor auction. It's the most romantic thing I've ever eaten."
- Elaine and George, in "The Frogger"
"Why don't you put it in the car so I don't accidentally toss it in that dumpster."

"Do they have a castle at Windsor?"
"No, they have a display case at the end of the aisle."
- Lubeck, the cake appraiser, and Peterman, in "The Frogger"
"Elaine, I have a question for you. Is the item still with you?"
"Umm, as far as I know."
"Do you know what happens to a butter-based frosting after six decades in a poorly-ventilated English basement?
"Uhh, I guess I hadn't..."
"Well, I have a feeling what you are about to go through is punishment enough."
- Peterman and Elaine, after he discovers that she ate his antique cake, in "The Frogger"

"If you are thinking of instituting an open-door urination policy, let me disabuse you of that notion right now my friend."
"You're so uptight."
"Uptight. Let's all just have a big pee party. Hey everybody, grab a bucket, we're going up to Jerry's. It's a pee party!"
- Jerry and George, in "The Finale"
"If he says he doesn't want it to be a show about nothing, don't go nuts."
"It's fine. It doesn't have to be about nothing."

"He might want a show about anything and everything."
"Anything, everything, something, nothing. Who the hell cares? Put me down. I'm down!"

- George, in "The Finale"
"Perhaps these hooligans would like to have a pee party right here in the courtroom!"
- The Prosecutor, in "The Finale"
"But they did not care. They're totally indifferent. All they do is mock me, just like they did the fat fellow. All the time, mocking, mocking, mocking, mocking, all the time. It is Babu's turn to mock."
- Babu, in "The Finale"
"I don't know how, or under what circumstances, the four of you found each other, but your callous indifference and utter disregard for everything that is good and decent has rocked the very foundation upon which our society is built."
- Judge Art Vandelay, in "The Finale"
"The second button is the key button. It literally makes or breaks the shirt. Look at it. It's too high. It's in no-man's land."
"Haven't we had this conversation before?"

"I think we have."
"Yeah, maybe we have."
