Quote from Kramer

Jerry: You left the keys in the car?
Sid: Well, you know they're making that Woody Allen movie in the block, and all those people and trucks everywhere, when I saw him I must have got a little distracted.

George: You are?
Kramer: Yeah, I'm an extra.
George: How'd you get that?
Kramer: Well, I was just watching them film yesterday and some guy just asked me.
George: Right out of the clear blue sky?

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Sixty-six years old?
Elaine: Yeah, well, he's in perfect health. He works out, he's vibrant. You'd really like him.
Jerry: Why do people always say that? I hate everyone. Why would I like him?

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Uh, here we go. The supervisor. You know what she's saying over there?
Elaine: What?
Jerry: Hey Marge, you see those two people over there? They think I'm talkingto you, so you pretend like you're talking to me, okay now you start talking.
Elaine: Oh, you mean like this? So it looks like I'm saying something but I'm not really saying anything at all?
Jerry: Okay. Now you say something else and they won't yell at me 'cause they thought I was checking with you.
Elaine: Okay, that's it. I think that's enough, see you later.
Rental Car Agent: [returns] I'm sorry, my supervisor says there's nothing we can do.
Jerry: Yeah, it looked as if you were in a real conversation over there.

Quote from Jerry

Elaine: I just don't enjoy being with him.
Jerry: Well, that's what's important.
Elaine: I'm meeting him for lunch at Chadway's around the corner. Do I have to break up with him face-to-face or can I just wait and do it over the phone?
Jerry: Well, how many times you been out with him?
Elaine: Seven?
Jerry: Face-to-face.
Elaine: Seven dates is a face-to-face break up?
Jerry: If it was six I could have let you go, but seven, I'm afraid, is over the limit. Unless, of course, there was no sex.
Elaine: Hmm... How's the pasta over there?

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: Hey, you know they were supposed to do my scene today?
Elaine: Today?!
Kramer: You know, they told me that they wanted me to walk down the block carrying this bag of groceries.
Elaine: Yeah.
Kramer: So I start to walk, and I trip, and the grocery bag goes flying, and Woody... Woody starts laughing.
Elaine: He was laughing?!
Kramer: Oh yeah, he was drinking something, it started to come out of his nose.
Jerry: So then what?
Kramer: Well, I got a line in the movie!

Quote from George

George: Is that how you're gonna say it?
Kramer: No, no, I'm working on it.
Elaine: Do it like this. "These pretzels are making me thirsty."
Jerry: No. "These pretzels are making me thirsty."
Kramer: No, no. See, that's no good. See, you don't know how to act.
George: [anxious] "These pretzels are making me thirsty!!" [Jerry pinches his nose] Oh, that was no good?
Kramer: I didn't say anything.
Elaine: I'm gonna go break up with Owen.
George: What was wrong with that? I had a different interpretation! Do you know anything about this pretzel guy?! Maybe he's been in the bar a really long time and he's really depressed because he has no job and no woman and he's parking cars for a living! [out the window to the honking cars] All right! All right! Shut up! Shut up! I hear you! I'm coming down! These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: We were walking down the block right by your house and I was just about to break up with him then all of a sudden he started to twitch.
Jerry: [on the phone] Hello? Yes, I need an ambulance at one twenty nine west Eighty-first Street, apartment five-A.
Elaine: Tell them to hurry! Hurry!
Jerry: It's an ambulance.

Quote from Kramer

Elaine: Okay, what about a cold compress? They always do that.
Jerry: I don't have a washcloth.
Elaine: Well, use a paper towel.
Jerry: You can't put a paper towel on his head.
Kramer: What about a big sponge?
Jerry: How you gonna hold it on there?
Kramer: Use a belt.

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: Should we walk him around?
Elaine & Kramer: Yes, yes.
Kramer: Yeah, I've seen them do that.
Jerry: No, no that's for a drug overdose.
Kramer: Well, maybe that's what he's got.
Elaine: No, no, no, no. Kramer, I just had lunch with him, he didn't leave the table.
Kramer: Well, he could have dropped acid when you weren't looking.
Elaine: He is not a drug addict!

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Hey, you know what? Maybe he's a diabetic, he might just need a cookie or something.
Elaine: A cookie!
Kramer: Can you give him a cookie?
Elaine: How's he gonna chew it?
Jerry: We'll move his teeth. It happened to my uncle. The sugar revived him.
