Quote from George in The Switch
Jerry: So I tell Sandy that I want to have a manage trois with her and her roommate. George: That's right. Jerry: And you believe this course of action will have a two-pronged effect. Firstly, the very mention of the idea will cause Sandy to recoil in disgust, whereupon she will insist that I remove myself from the premises. George: Keep going. Jerry: At this point, it is inevitable that she will seek out the roommate to apprise her of this abhorrent turn of events. George: Continue. Jerry: The roommate will then offer her friend the requisite sympathy, even as part of her cannot help but feel somewhat flattered by her inclusion in the unusual request. George: A few days go by, and a call is placed at a time when Sandy is known to be busy at work. Once the initial awkwardness is relieved with a little playful humor, which she of course cannot resist, an invitation to a friendly dinner is proffered. Jerry: Well, it all sounds pretty good. There's only one flaw in it: They're roommates. She'd have to go out with me behind Sandy's back. She's not gonna do that. George: You disappoint me, my friend. Sandy wants nothing to do with you. She tells Laura, "If you want to waste your time with that pervert, that's your problem." Jerry: It's a perfect plan. So inspired. So devious. Yet so simple. George: This is what I do.
