Quote from Elaine in The Wallet

Dr. Reston: And how often have you been seeing...? I'm sorry what is his name?
Elaine: His name?
Dr. Reston: Yes, his name.
Elaine: Um, what's the difference?
Dr. Reston: Are you afraid to tell me his name?
Elaine: No, no, I just don't see how that's relevant.
Dr. Reston: It doesn't matter if you don't see how. I see how.
Elaine: Uh, his name, uh... I don't even know. All right, you want to know his name? I'll tell you his name. His name is... Kramer.
Dr. Reston: Kramer. Is that his first name or his last name?
Elaine: You know, I'm really uncomfortable talking about this.
Dr. Reston: Elaine, I want you to do me a favor.
Elaine: What?
Dr. Reston: I want you to tell this young man to give me a call. It is very important that I speak to him.
Elaine: Oh, no, no, no, no. I can't do that.
Dr. Reston: You can do it and you will do it.
Elaine: No, I can't.
Dr. Reston: You can and you will.
Elaine: Okay, okay. I'll have Kramer give you a call.

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: Don't you hate "to be continueds" on TV? It's horrible when you sense the "to be continued coming". You know, you're watching the show. You're into the story. Then there's like five minutes left, and you realize: "Hey, they can't make it. Timmy's still stuck in the cave. There's no way they wrap this up in five minutes." I mean, the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I wanted a long, boring story with point to it, I have my life. A comedian can't do that, see? I can't go, "A man walks into a bar with a pig under his arm. Can you come back next week?"

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: My parents had two constant arguments whilst they were driving, over either how fast my father was going or how much gas was left in the tank. My father had a standard defense for either one of these. It was always, "That's because you're looking at it from an angle. If you were over here- It looks from where you're sitting, it looks like I'm doing ninety on empty. But that's because you're over there. If you were over here, you'd know I'm in the driveway with a full tank."
