Helen Seinfeld Quote #7

Quote from Helen Seinfeld in The Pen

Helen Seinfeld: What'd you take his pen for?
Jerry: What? He gave it to me.
Helen Seinfeld: You didn't have to take it.
Morty Seinfeld: Oh my God! She's gotta make a big deal out of everything.
Jerry: He offered it to me.
Helen Seinfeld: Because you made such a big fuss about it.
Jerry: I liked it. Should I have said I didn't like it?
Helen Seinfeld: You shouldn't have said anything. What did you expect him to do?
Jerry: He could have said: "Thank you, I like it too." and put it back in his pocket.
Helen Seinfeld: He loves that pen.
Morty Seinfeld: Oh, come on!
Helen Seinfeld: He talks about it all the time. Every time he takes it out he goes on and on about how it writes upside down, how the astronauts use it.
Jerry: If he likes it so much, he never should have offered it.
Helen Seinfeld: He didn't think you'd accept.
Jerry: Well, he was wrong.
Helen Seinfeld: I know his wife. She has some mouth on her. She'll tell everyone in the condo now that you made him give you the pen. They're talking about it right now.

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: Is Florida not hot and muggy enough for these people? They love heat. I mean, if they ever decide to land men on the sun, I think these old retired guys would be the only ones that will be able to handle it. They'll just sit there on the sun, on the redwood benches, washcloth on the head going: "I'm trying to get a sweat going."

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: What is going on in this community! Are you people aware of what's happening? What is driving you to this behavior? Is it the humidity? Is it the Muzak? Is it the white shoes?

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: I have never seen an old person in a new bathing suit in my life. I don't know where they get their bathing suits, but my father has bathing suits from other centuries. My parents live in Florida. And if you go down there and you forget your bathing suits, then they want you to wear one of theirs. You know how that gets? "You need trunks, son? I've got trunks for you. You can wear my trunks." Fathers don't wear bathing suits, they wear trunks. It's kind of the same thing a tree would wear if it went swimming. So I get in the water with in thing and it's like floating around me somewhere. Did you ever put on a bathing suit that you don't even know exactly where you are inside the bathing suit? You bump into somebody you know: "No, I'm parasailing, I'm waiting for the boat to come back."
