George Quote #751

Quote from George in The Dinner Party

George: I really can not comprehend how stupid people can be sometimes. Can you comprehend it?
Kramer: No, no I can't comprehend it?
George: I mean, we can put a man on the moon but we're still basically very stupid. The guy who's car this is? He could be one of the guys who built the rocket. You see what I'm saying?
Kramer: Well, yeah, yeah. He could build the rocket but he's still stupid for double-parking and blocking somebody in.
George: So you really understand my point about building a rocket and double-parking.
Kramer: Yeah, on one hand he's smart with rockets. And on the other part he's dumb with parking. It's cold out here, huh?
George: Maybe it's not even stupidity. Maybe it's just a blatant disregard for basic human decency. This how dictator's start. You think Mussolini would circle the block six times looking for a spot?
Kramer: How about Idi Amin?
George: I'll tell you, if I was running for office I would ask for the death penalty for double-parking. If this is allowed to go on this is not a society. This is anarchy!

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.
