Elaine Quote #670

Quote from Elaine in The Foundation

Jerry: [on the phone] Elaine, let me ask you something. When I told you my breakup was mutual, did you believe me?
Elaine: No, no, no. It's weak. No one's gonna buy it, and you shouldn't be selling it.
Jerry: I gotta do some research here.
Elaine: Hey, hey. Me. Talking. You know, between you and me, I always thought Kramer was a bit of a doofus, but he believed in me. You did not. So as I see it, he's not the doofus. You are the doofus.
Jerry: Oh, I'm the doofus?
Elaine: Yeah. You, Jerry, are the doofus.
Jerry: You know, it occurs to me that Kramer is at karate right now.
Elaine: Oh, well, maybe I'll just go down there and thank him in person.
Jerry: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Quote from J. Peterman

Elaine: [answers phone] Hello, Mr. Peterman, how are you feeling?
