George Quote #1357
Quote from George in The Van Buren Boys
Jerry: So you're denying him the scholarship just because he wants to be a city planner?
George: I was betrayed. That kid was like a son to me. And if there's one person you should be able to hold down, it's your own flesh and blood. Like my father and my father's father before him.
Jerry: You know, maybe philanthropy is not your field.

Quote from George
George: Hey, I think I may have found someone for the scholarship.
Jerry: Yeah?
George: I'm interviewing all these annoying little overachievers, and finally, this kid walks in, Steven Koren, a regular guy, likes sports, watches TV.
Jerry: Is he smart?
George: He knows how to read. And he also knows finishing an entire book doesn't prove anything. And get this. He's into architecture.
Jerry: Hey, just like you pretend to be.
George: Yes. With a little guidance, Steven Koren is going to be everything I claim to be, only for real. That's my dream, Jerry.

Kramer: Yippie-yi-yay!
J. Peterman: [hangs up] There you are, Elaine. Go forth, and create. And, by the way, when you get to that chapter about my romantic escapades, feel free to toss yourself in the mix.
