Jerry Quote #1010

Quote from Jerry in The Pledge Drive

[stand-up:]
Jerry: There's something very insincere about these greeting cards we send back and forth to each other all the time. They're like these little one-dollar folded paper emotional prostitutes, isn't it? "I don't know what my feelings are, so I'll just pay some total stranger a buck to make up this little Hallmark hooker to do the job for me. So I can go, "Yeah, I didn't write this, but whatever they wrote, I think the same thing." Wouldn't it be better if we just had one card that covered every occasion for everybody in one shot? Just "Happy birthday, merry Christmas, happy anniversary, congratulations, it's a Boy and our deepest sympathies. Signed, the whole office."

Quote from George

George: So, what do you think?
Mr. Morgan: A PBS fundraiser? I'm not gonna waste any of the players' time with that, besides the team already does so much promotion for Channel 11.
George: Channel 11? Forgive me for trying to class up this place, for trying to have the Yankees reach another strata of society that might not watch Channel 11.
[George starts to eat a Snickers candy bar with knife and fork]
Mr. Morgan: Uh, what the hell are you doing?
George: I am eating my dessert. How do you eat it, with your hands?
