Quote from Jerry in The Cheever Letters

George: Okay, what did you say?
Jerry: Now, bear in mind, I am just trying to keep up.
George: Of course.
Jerry: Okay? So, she's taking about her panties, so, uh.. So, I said, "You mean the panties your mother laid out for you?"
George: [confused pause] "The panties your mother laid out for you"? [Jerry nods] What does that mean?
Jerry: I don't know! It just popped out.
George: Well, how did she react?
Jerry: She flipped out! Just left.
George: Well, that's not offensive. It's abnormal, but it's not offensive.
Jerry: Look, the main thing is I don't want Elaine to know about any of this. I mean, especially the panty remark. I mean, it's embarrassing. And she's never let me hear the end of it.
George: Well, what if this girl says something?
Jerry: She will tell her. She's going back to work. I talked her into it. How stupid was that?
