Quote from Jerry in The Stake Out

Jerry: So Dad, lemme ask you a question. How many people work at these big law offices?
Morty Seinfeld: Depends on the firm.
Jerry: Yeah, but if you called up and described someone, do you think they would know who it was?
Morty Seinfeld: What's the matter? You need a lawyer?
Jerry: No, I met someone at this party, and I know where she works, but I don't know her name.
Helen Seinfeld: So why don't you ask someone who was at the party?
Jerry: Nah, the only one I could ask is Elaine, and I can't ask her.
Morty Seinfeld: Why not?
Jerry: Because it's complicated. There's some tension there.
Helen Seinfeld: He used to go with her...
Morty Seinfeld: Which one is she?
Helen Seinfeld: From Maryland. The one who brought you the chocolate covered cherries you didn't like.
Morty Seinfeld: Oh yeah, very alert. Warm person.
Jerry: Oh yeah, she's great.

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: Apparently, Plato, who came up with the concept of the platonic relationship, was pretty excited about it. He named it after himself. He said "Yeah, I got this new thing, 'platonic'. My idea, my name, calling it after myself. What I do is, I go out with the girls, I talk with them. Don't do anything. And go right home. What do you think? I think it's going to be big!'' I bet you there were other guys in history that tried to get relationships named after them, but it didn't work. You know, I bet you there were guys who tried to do it, just went: "Hi, my name's Rico. Would you like to go to bed immediately? Hey, it's a 'Riconic' relationship..."
