Jerry Quote #1751
Quote from Jerry in The Bookstore
Manager: Did you want to speak with the manager?
Jerry: Yes. My Uncle Leo was caught shoplifting here the other day.
Manager: Yes, Uncle Leo. I remember him. I'm sorry, our policy is we prosecute all shoplifters.
Jerry: Oh, come on. He's just a lonely old man. All old people steal.
Manager: That's right. That's why we stopped carrying batteries. Look, I'll be honest with you, we've had a lot of trouble with theft lately and my boss says I have to make an example to someone.
Jerry: So it could be anyone?
Manager: I guess. As long as we catch him in the act.
Jerry: That guy! [points to George] Swarm! Swarm!
George: No, Jerry!

J. Peterman: I'm afraid the problem with Zach is more serious. He's back on the horse, Elaine. Smack. White palace. The Chinamen's nightcap.
Elaine: An addict? Well, it just keeps getting better!
J. Peterman: And, in a tiny way, I almost feel responsible. I'm the one who sent him to Thailand in search of low-cost whistles. Filled his head with pseudo-erotic tales of my own opium excursions. Plus, I have him some phone numbers of places he could score near the hotel.
