Quote from Elaine in The Big Salad

Elaine: It's just that my boss is very demanding and he needed the pencil right away.
Stationer: Well, why did you tell me to order it if you knew you were going to get one someplace else?
Elaine: No, no, no. I didn't know. I'm sorry.
Stationer: I went all the way down to the warehouse. It took me three hours. I had a big fight with the foreman.
Elaine: Really? A fight with the foreman?
Stationer: Yes.
Elaine: Well, again, I'm just awfully sorry.
Stationer: Yeah? Well, then how about going out with me tonight?
Elaine: Okay.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Newman! She went out with Newman!
Elaine: It must be a mistake.
Jerry: No, it isn't. And the most distressing part of it is not that she went out with him, but that he stopped seeing her. Do you understand? He, Newman. Newman stopped seeing her. Newman never stopped seeing anybody. Newman will see whoever is willing to see him. Not so much why she did see him as disturbing as that is. But why, did he, Newman, stop seeing her?
Elaine: Perhaps there's more to Newman than meets the eye.
Jerry: No, there's less.
Elaine: It's possible.
Jerry: No, it isn't. I've looked into his eyes. He's pure evil.
Elaine: Maybe he's an enigma, a mystery wrapped in a riddle.
Jerry: Yeah, he's a mystery wrapped in a Twinkie.

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: I find it fascinating when you go into a stationery store that they're manufacturing millions of pens, constantly. We're all buying them. I must have bought 6,000 Bics in my life. I've used up maybe two of
them. Where are the rest of them? When you move the refrigerator, there's always a couple back there but it doesn't account for it. Where are all the pens? That's why it's so embarrassing if you don't have one. "You got a pen? Can I borrow a pen?" We always have to whisper because it's so humiliating. "I don't have a pen." "They're making millions of them every week!" "I know. Where are they?"
