Jerry: And what if I did do it? Even though I admit to nothing, and never will. What does that make me? And I'm not here just defending myself but all those pickers out there who've been caught. [Tia gets in the elevator] Each and every one of them, who has to suffer the shame and humiliation because of people like you.. Are we not human?! If we pick, do we not bleed?! [elevator doors close, Jerry addresses the crowd] I am not an animal!

Susan Ross: I just don't think we have anything in common.
George: That's okay. That's good. You think Louie Pasteur and his wife had anything in common? He was in the fields all day with the cows, you know and the milk, examining the milk, delving into milk, consumed with milk. Pasteurization. Homogenization. She was in the kitchen killing cockroaches with a boot on each hand.
Susan Ross: Why were there so many cockroaches?
George: Because. There was a lot of cake lying around the house. Just sitting there going with all the excess milk from all the experiment. [grins]
Susan Ross: And they got along?
George: Yes! Yes. You know. She didn't know about pasteurization. He didn't know about fumigation. But they made it work!

Elaine: Anyway, so Fred and I are going to do some volunteer work for that church on Amsterdam.
Jerry: Oh, volunteer work. See that's what I like about the holiday season. That's the true spirit of Christmas. People being helped by people other than me. That makes me feel good inside.
