Quote from Jerry in The Pilot
Sandi: So, the Elaine character is based on someone you know. Jerry: Yes. Sandi: And she's really your ex-girlfriend? Jerry: Uh-huh, yeah. Sandi: I want to get to know her from the inside. What is she like? Tell me about her. Jerry: Well, she's fascinated with Greenland. She enjoys teasing animals, Banlon, and seeing people running for their lives. She loves throwing garbage out the window, yet she's extremely dainty.
