Kramer Quote #393

Quote from Kramer in The Dinner Party

George: All right, so what are we getting? It's hot in here!
Kramer: What do you say we get a Mouton Cadet?
George: What's that?
Kramer: Well, it's a Bordeaux. It's robust, bold, very dry. As opposed to a Beaujolais, which is richer and fruitier. Here's one. Twelve dollars.
George: Twelve dollars?! I knew we should have gone to the bakery. I guarantee you they aren't getting no twelve dollar cake.
Kramer: All right, but I am going to have to pay you back later. I don't have my wallet.
George: Why not?
Kramer: Because I don't like to carry my wallet. My osteopath says it's bad for my spine. It throws my hips off-kilter.
George: Throws your hips off-kilter. So where's your money?
Kramer: I never take it.
George: So what do you do?
Kramer: Oh, I get by.

Quote from George

Elaine: Oh, listen. We should stop off on the way and get a bottle of wine or something.
George: What for?
Elaine: These people invited us for dinner. We have to bring something.
George: Why?
Elaine: Because it's rude, otherwise.
George: You mean just going there because I'm invited... that's rude?
Elaine: Yes.
George: So, you're telling me, instead of being happy to see me they're going to be upset because I didn't bring anything. You see what I'm saying?
Jerry: The fabric of society is very complex, George.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: See, the thing about eating a black-and-white cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite. Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate. And yet still somehow, racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie, all our problems would be solved.
Elaine: Your views on race relations are fascinating. You really should do an op-ed piece for the Times.
Jerry: Um, um. Look to the cookie, Elaine. Look to the cookie.
[Jerry raises his cookie to an African-American man, who mirrors the gesture]

Quote from George

George: I don't even drink wine. I drink Pepsi.
Elaine: You can't bring Pepsi.
George: Why not?
Elaine: Because we're adults?
George: What, you're telling me that wine is better than Pepsi? [snorts] Huh, no way wine is better than Pepsi.
Jerry: I'm telling you, George, I don't think we want to walk in there and put a big plastic jug of Pepsi on the table.
George: I just don't like the idea that any time there is a dinner invitation there's this annoying little chore that goes along with it.
Jerry: You know, you're getting to be an annoying little chore yourself.
