George Quote #300

Quote from George in The Fix-Up

George: Why even try anymore? There's no sense to it. I'm never gonna meet anybody. I should just accept it.
Jerry: Oh, yes, you will.
George: No, I won't.
Jerry: Yeah, maybe you won't.
George: I mean it's hard enough to meet a woman you dislike, much less like.
Jerry: Are my nostrils getting bigger?
George: No. See, why must it be so difficult? Why is there all this tension and hostility? Why can't I just walk up to a woman on the street and say, "Hi. I'm George. How are you?" Is that so terrible?
[As an attractive woman walks by, George mutters "Hi" to no effect.]

Quote from George

George: I mean it's gotten to the point where I'm flirting with operators on the phone. I almost made a date with one.
Jerry: Oh, so there's still hope.
George: I don't want hope. Hope is killing me. My dream is to become hopeless. When you're hopeless, you don't care, and when you don't care, that indifference makes you attractive.
Jerry: Oh, so hopelessness is the key.
George: It's my only hope.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: So what'd you do last night?
Jerry: Went out with George. You?
Elaine: Went out with Cynthia.
Jerry: How was it? What'd you talk about?
Elaine: Well, you know, the usual. The Federal Reserve, the rainforest. Cynthia thought we should nuke the rainforest. You know, get rid of it in one fell swoop so we can at least eliminate it as a subject of conversation.

Quote from George

George: What kind of hair?
Jerry: You know, long dark hair.
George: Flowing?
Jerry: Flowing?
George: Is it flowing? I like flowing, cascading hair. Thick lustrous hair is very important to me. [scratches his balding head]
Jerry: "Thick lustrous hair is very important to me," is that what you said?
George: Yeah, that's right.
Jerry: Just clarifying.
