Quote from The Van Buren Boys

Elaine: Well, I- I got to tell you, Mr. Peterman. I don't think I see a whole book here.
J. Peterman: Well, I'm sure we'll come up with something. What do you say you and I order ourselves a pie? Do you like Lorenzo's?
Elaine: You know, a friend of mine almost got beat up at that place by the Van Buren Boys?
J. Peterman: You don't say.
Elaine: Yeah. The only think that saved him is that he accidentally flashed their secret gang sign.
J. Peterman: Well, that's pretty exciting. Let's put that in the book.
Elaine: But, that didn't happen to you.
J. Peterman: Well, so we pay off your friend, and it becomes a Peterman.
Elaine: No, I- I really don't think you can do that.
J. Peterman: Oh, damn. I forgot to buy plant food again. I'll bet I got a coupon for it.
Elaine: You know what? Maybe I better talk to my friend.

Quote from The Secret Code

J. Peterman: I just pray to God we can make it there in time.

Quote from The Secret Code

J. Peterman: Look, there's a man in there. Get out of there, you're in danger!

J. Peterman: George, give me your ATM card!
George: I don't have my ATM card.
J. Peterman: George, you're obviously lying. Anyone can see that! [takes George's card] It's jammed! I'll slide it under the door.

Quote from The Caddy

J. Peterman: Elaine, do you see this? Do you see what I'm holding is my hands?
Elaine: Yeah, it's a bra.
J. Peterman: I saw a woman in our hallway wearing one of these as a top. What exquisite beauty, I ran down the hallway to talk to her, but the elevator door closed. It was not to be. Perhaps our paths will cross again some day.
Elaine: What is this all about?
J. Peterman: I wanna market this item as a new direction in women's fashion. We're gonna sell this as a top. Here's the angle: Zelda Fitzgerald... somebody in the '20s, wearing this at wild parties, driving all the men crazy. Have it on my desk by the end of the week.

Quote from The Friars Club

J. Peterman: Elaine, I think I've been working you a little too hard, lately. So, I have two tickets for you to the
Flying Sandos Brothers magic show.
Elaine: Ah.
J. Peterman: It is a real hoot.
Elaine: Well, thank you, Mr. Peterman.
J. Peterman: Ah, the tickets are for tonight. So you and Bob can knock off a little early, so you both can get ready.
Elaine: Uh, Mr Peterman, you...
J. Peterman: (interrupting) There's no need to deny it, Elaine. I heard every word you said. And I know you wouldn't be just having fun with his handicap. That kind of cruelty would be grounds for dismissal.
Elaine: Of course, Mr Peterman.

Quote from The Bottle Deposit

J. Peterman: Elaine! You found the clubs. That's wonderful news. Where are they?
Elaine: Yep. Let me get them for you, Mr. Peterman.
J. Peterman: Oh, I'll be inaugurating them this weekend, with none other than Ethel Kennedy. A woman whose triumph in the face of tragedy is exceeded only by her proclivity to procreate.
[Elaine places the bag of wrecked golf clubs down in front of Mr. Peterman]
Elaine: The, uh... The letter of authenticity's in the side pocket there.
J. Peterman: Elaine. I never knew Kennedy had such a temper.
Elaine: Oh. Oh yeah. The only thing worse was his slice. [nervous laugh]
J. Peterman: See you on Monday.
Elaine: Have a good game.
