Quote from Jerry in The Ex-Girlfriend

Jerry: Oh, my little airplane lamp.
Elaine: You know, you have the slowest elevator in the entire city. That's hard to get used to when you're in so many other fast ones.
Jerry: Well, the apartment elevators are always slower than the offices, because you don't have to be home on time.
Elaine: Unless you're married to a dictator.
Jerry: Yeah, because they would be very demanding people.

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: Waiting room. I hate when they make you wait in the room. 'cause it says "Waiting room." There's no chance of not waiting, 'cause they call it the waiting room. They're going to use it. They've got it. It's all set up for you to wait. And you sit there, you know, and you've got your little magazine. You pretend you're reading it, but you're really looking at the other people. You know, you're thinking about about them things like "I wonder what he's got." "As soon as she goes, I'm getting her magazine." And then, they finally call you and it's a very exciting moment. They finally call you, and you stand up and you kinda look around at the other people in the room. "Well, I guess I've been chosen. I'll see you all later." You know, so you think you're going to see the doctor, but you're not, are you? No. You're going into the next waiting room. The littler waiting room. But if they are, you know, doing some sort of medical thing to you, you want to be in the smallest room that they have, I think. You don't want to be in the largest room that they have. You know what I mean? You ever see these operating theaters, that they have, with like, stadium seating? You don't want them doing anything to you that makes other doctors go, "I have to see this!" "Are you kidding? Are they really gonna do that to him?" "Are there seats? Can we get in?" Do they scalp tickets to these things? "I got two for the Winslow tumor, I got two.."

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: So forget about the books. Did you read them?
George: Well, yeah.
Jerry: What do you need them for?
George: I don't know. They're books.
Jerry: What is this obsession people have with books? They put them in their houses like they're trophies. What do you need it for after you read it?
George: They're my books.

Quote from George

Jerry: So, how was it?
George: I was in there for two minutes. He didn't do anything. Touch this, feel that. Seventy-five bucks.
Jerry: Well, it's a first visit.
George: What's seventy-five bucks? What, am I seeing Sinatra in there?! Am I being entertained? I don't understand this. I'm only paying half.
Jerry: You can't do that.
George: Why not?
Jerry: He's a doctor. You gotta pay what he says.
George: Oh, no, no, no. I pay what I say.
