George Quote #17
Quote from George in Male Unbonding
George: I don't know why you even bother with this ping pong guy, I'll tell you that.
Jerry: I don't bother with him. He's been calling me for seven years. I've never called him once! He's got the attention span of a five-year-old. Sometimes I sit there and I make up things just to see if he's paying attention.
George: I don't understand why you spend time with this guy.
Jerry: What can I do? Break up with him? Tell him "I Don't think we're right for each other.." He's a guy. At least with a woman, there's a precedent. You know, the relationship goes sour, you end it.
George: No, no, no. No, you have to approach this as if he was a woman.
Jerry: Just break up with him?
George: Absolutely. You just tell him the truth.
Jerry: The truth?
[George initially gives a confirming look, before wincing at the thought of the truth]

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."
Quote from Jerry
Joel: So my shrink wants me to bring my mother in for a session. This guy is a brilliant man. Lenny Bruce used to go to him... And I think, uh, Geraldo.
Jerry: You know, I read the Lenny Bruce biography, I thought it was really-
Joel: Hey, hey, hey, hey we're starving here! We've been waiting here for ten minutes already!
Jerry: So, I'm thinking about going to Iran this summer.
Joel: I have to eat! I mean, I'm hypoglycemic.
Jerry: Anyway, the Hezbollah has invited me to perform. You know, it's their annual terrorist luncheon. I'm gonna do it is Farsi.
Quote from Elaine

Jerry: Okay.

Jerry: Where do you want to go?

Jerry: We could go to one of those cappuccino places. They let you just sit there.

Jerry: We can talk.
Elaine: I'll go if I don't have to talk.
Jerry: We'll just sit there.
