Jerry Quote #290
Jerry: Babu, you're Pakistani?
Babu Bhatt: Yes, Pakistani. Yes.
Jerry: Babu, may I say something?
Babu Bhatt: Of course, you're a very smart man. I'll listen.
Jerry: I'm not a restaurateur by any means, but it occurred to me that perhaps you might serve some dishes from your native Pakistan? As opposed to, say, the franks and beans, for example.
Babu Bhatt: But there are no Pakistani people here.
Jerry: Doesn't matter. You would have the only authentic Pakistani restaurant in the whole neighborhood.
Babu Bhatt: Yes, you see everything, don't you?
Jerry: Well, not everything. I do what I can.
Babu Bhatt: I'll close down today and when I open again it'll be whole Pakistani restaurant. Thank you. Thank you, very much. You're a very special person, very special.
Jerry: [inner monologue] I am such a great guy. Who else would've gone through the trouble of helping this poor immigrant? I am special. My mother was right. Of course, I've never had Pakistani food. How bad it could be?

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: What?
Jerry: Statute of limitations. It's not a statue.
Kramer: No, it's statue.
Jerry: Fine, it's a sculpture of limitations.
Kramer: Just wait a minute. Elaine, Elaine! Now, you're smart, is it statue or statute of limitations?
Elaine: Statute.
Kramer: Oh, I really think you're wrong.
Quote from Jerry
[stand-up:]
Jerry: You know, there's always that one location, one store location that's constantly changing hands. Everybody has this in their neighborhood. It's a leather store, then it's a yogurt shop, it's a pet supply. It's constantly changing and nobody can do business there. It's like some sort of Bermuda triangle of retail, you know? Stores open up and then they just disappear without a trace. Nobody knows what happened to 'em. I guess eventually, when, like, aliens land in mother ship of close encounters, bottom will slowly open and all these store owners will come wondering out in a daze going, "I thought there would be more walk-in traffic didn't you?"
Quote from Jerry
[stand-up:]
Jerry: It's tough to do a good deed. Let's lok at your professional good deed doers. Your Lone Rangers, your Supermen, your Batmen, your Spidermen, your Elasticmen. They are all wearing disguises. Masks over their faces. Secret identities. Don't want people to know who they are. It's too much aggravation. "Superman, yeah, thanks for saving my life, but did you have to come through my wall? I'm renting here. They've got a security deposit. What am I supposed to do?"
