George Quote #16

Quote from George in Male Unbonding

George: I'm outta the picture. I am outta the picture. [laughs] It's only a matter of time now.
Jerry: You're imagining this. Really.
George: Oh no. No, no, no, no. I'll tell you when it happened. When that floss came flying out of my pocket.
Jerry: What floss? When?
George: We were in the lobby during the intermission of the play. I was buying her one of those containers of orange drink. For five dollars. I reach into my pocket to pay for it, I look down, there's this piece of green floss hanging from my fingers.
Jerry: Ah, mint.
George: Of course. So, I'm looking at it, I look up, I see she's looking at it. Our eyes lock. It was a horrible moment. I just..
Jerry: So let me get this straight: she saw the floss, you panicked and you told her you liked her.
George: If I didn't put that floss in my pocket, I'd be crawling around her bedroom right now looking for my glasses.

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: Most men like working on things, tools, objects, fixing things. This is what men enjoy doing. Have you ever noticed a guy's out in his driveway working on something with tools, how all the other men in the neighborhood are magnetically drawn to this activity. They just come wandering out of the house like zombies. Men, it's true, men hear a drill, it's like a dog whistle. Just, you know, they go running up to that living room curtain, "Honey, I think Jim's working on something over there." So they run over to the guy. Now they don't actually help the guy. No, they just want to hang around the area where work is being done. That's what men want to do. We want to watch the guy, we want to talk to him, we want to ask him dumb questions. You know, "What are you using, a Philips head?" You know, we feel involved. That's why when they have construction sites, they have to have those wood panel fences around it. That's just to keep the men out. They cut those little holes for us so we can see what the hell is going on. But if they don't cut those holes, we are climbing those fences. Right over there. "What are you using the steel girders down there? Yeah, that'll hold."

Jerry: We'll just sit there.
