Quote from Jerry

Elaine: What's going on? What is that look?
Jerry: What look? Nothing.
Elaine: Something's going on here.
Jerry: I don't know if you should sit for this or not. Sitting is good if you faint, but standing is good for jumping up and down.. I can't decide.
Elaine: Jumping up and down? What are you talking about? Come on. Cough it up.
Jerry: Oh, Elaine. You know the way I am, rarely ever thinking of myself. My only concern is the welfare and happiness of those close to me. Sure, it hurts sometimes to give, and give, and give.
Elaine: Would you please?

Kramer: Hey, my new neighbor!

Kramer: So, okay. What's the problem?
Elaine: I don't have five thousand dollars.
Kramer: Come on, you can come up with five thousand dollars. Jerry, you don't have five thousand dollars you can led her? Come on.
Jerry: Yeah, well, I didn't... Is that something you want to borrow?
Elaine: No, that's too much money to borrow.
Kramer: Loan her the money. You can afford it.
Jerry: She doesn't want to borrow the money.
Kramer: Oh, come on. She'll pay you back. What's five grand between friends?
Elaine: Of course I'd pay you back..
Kramer: Yeah, so what's the problem?
Jerry: Who said there's a problem?
Kramer: He said he'd loan you the money.
Elaine: Well Jerry, it might take a while for me to pay you back. Maybe a few years. How do you feel about that?
Kramer: That's okay. He doesn't care.
Elaine: You know, money can sometimes come between friends.
Kramer: Get outta here.
Elaine: Let me think about it.
Kramer: What's to think about?
Elaine: Well, I don't know... I don't know. Five thousand... Let me just take one more look at it.

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: It was all over! Taken care of. Done! Finished. Five thousand.. Where's she gonna get five thousand? She doesn't have five thousand. Clean. Good bye. She's gone. Then you come in, "Why don't you loan her five thousand? What do you care? You've got five thousand. Give her five thousand."
Kramer: You didn't want her in the building?
Jerry: No, I didn't!
Kramer: Well, then what did you loan her the five thousand for?
