George Quote #451

Quote from George in The Bubble Boy

Mrs. Sanger: You see it's not really a bubble. A lot of people think it's an igloo. But it's really just a plastic divider.
[George and Susan nod. There's a long silence.]
George: Can you, uh, go in the bubble?
Mrs. Sanger: Well, you have to put so many things on because of the germs.
Mel Sanger: The gloves, the mask, it's a whole production.
George: So then he makes his own bed?
Mrs. Sanger: Well, that's one of the things we fight about.
Mel Sanger: Would you like to meet him?
George: Uh, well, you know,...
Mrs. Sanger: Oh, he loves games. Maybe you could play Trivial Pursuit with him.
Donald Sanger: [o.s.] Hey, Ma! What the hell do I gotta do to get some food around here?! I'm starving! And if it's peanut butter, I'm gonna shove it in your face!
Mrs. Sanger: [laughs]

Quote from George

Donald: [o.s.] Okay, history. This is for the game. How you doing over there? Not too good.
George: All right, bubble boy. Let's just play. "Who invaded Spain in the 8th century?"
Donald: That's a joke. The Moors.
George: Oh, no. I'm so sorry. It's the "Moops". The correct answer is, the "Moops".
Donald: Moops? Let me see that. [takes card with gloved hand] That's not Moops, you jerk. That's Moors. It's a misprint.
George: I'm sorry. The card says Moops.
Donald: It doesn't matter. It's Moors. There's no Moops.
George: It's Moops.

Quote from Jerry

Elaine: Who has the remote?

Quote from Jerry

[stand-up:]
Jerry: Have you ever called someone up and you're disappointed when they answer the phone? You wanted the machine! You know, and you're always kind of thrown off. You go, "Oh, I didn't know you were there. I just wanted to leave you a message saying, 'Sorry I missed you.'" So here what we have is two people hate each other, don't ever really want to talk, but the phone machine is like this relationship respirator keeping these marginal, brain-dead relationships alive. And we all do it. Why? So that when we come home, you can see that little flashing red light. All right, messages. See, people need that. It's very important for human beings to feel popular and well-liked amongst a large group of people we don't care for.
