Jerry Quote #934

Quote from Jerry in The Wife

[stand-up:]
Jerry: I think of all the places that you go all the time, the dry-cleaning relationship is one of the most bizarre. Because you keep giving each other the same thing, back and forth, over and over again. He gives it to you, you give it to him, he gives it back to you. It's like it's half his shirt, in a way. He has it as much as you do. You ought to go shopping with him. "What do you think of this shirt?" "That would look good with a light starch." The only warning label people really respect is "dry-clean only." You know what I mean? Speed limits, lung cancer, cigarette warnings - your very life is at stake! People go, "Ah, the hell with it!" But dry-clean only? "Oh, don't put that in the wash! It's dry-clean only! Are you crazy?!"

Jerry: Do the medical journals mention anything about standing in a pool of someone else's urine?

Quote from George

George: Oh, I think it is! I think that's exactly what it is!
Elaine: Why couldn't you just wait?
