Quote from Kramer in The Bottle Deposit

Kramer: Damn. I don't understand this. I've ditched every bottle and can, and we still can't gain. It's like we're... [looks over at Newman] sluggish.
Newman: I went through all those bottles and all those cans, for what? What a waste. And I'm really gonna catch hell for those missing mailbags.
Kramer: Hey, wasn't that a pie stand back there?
Newman: [perks up] A pie stand? Where?
Kramer: Oh yeah. Home-made pies, two hundred yards back.
Newman: Aww, come on, pull over. Pull over, will you?
[As Kramer pulls the truck to the side of the road, Newman sticks his head out the window to peer back]
Newman: Where? I..I..I don't see it.
Kramer: Well, open the door, you'll get a better look.
[Newman slides back the door and leans out]
Newman: I don't see any pie...
[Kramer kicks Newman from behind and sends him plummeting into the verge]
Newman: Kramer!
Kramer: I'm sorry, Newman, you were holding us back.
Newman: [as Kramer drives away] Kramer!

Quote from Newman

Newman: It's the truck, Kramer. The truck!
Kramer: Look, Newman, I told you to let this thing go.
Newman: No, no, no, no no. Listen to me. Most days, the post office sends one truckload of mail to the second domestic regional sorting facility in Saginaw, Michigan.
Kramer: Uh-huh.
Newman: But, on the week before holidays, we see a surge. On Valentine's Day, we send two trucks. On Christmas, four, packed to the brim. And tomorrow, if history is any guide, will see some spillover into a fifth truck.
Kramer: Mother's Day.
Newman: The mother of all mail days. And guess who signed up for the truck.
Kramer: A free truck? Oh boy, that completely changes our cost structure. Our G and A goes down fifty percent.
Newman: We carry a couple of bags of mail, and the rest is ours!
Kramer: Newman, you magnificent bastard, you did it!
Newman: Let the collecting begin!
