Quote from Jerry

Elaine: Jerry, this is Joanne, and this is Stan. They're in my short story class with Roxanne and me. Hey, Jerry just got me a great apartment in his building!
Joanne: Well, Jerry, it'll be nice having a close friend nearby?
Jerry: Fantastic.
Stan: She can pop in whenever she wants.
Jerry: I know.
Joanne: She doesn't even need to knock!
Jerry: It's tremendous.
Stan: Anytime of day.
Jerry: I'm in heaven.

Quote from George

George: I'm sorry, I just don't see the big deal about being a matador. [chuckles] I mean, the bull charges, you move the cape, what's so hard? [both laugh]
Susie: So, are you really married? Because, I've actually heard of single guys who wear wedding bands to attract women.
George: You'd have to be a real loser to try something like that.
Susie: That's too bad, because I really have a thing for bald guys with glasses.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: So you and Roxanne are hitting it off, huh?
Jerry: Oh, I wouldn't quite say that.
Elaine: Really? From a distance, you seemed to be coming on to her.
Jerry: I'm a guy, it always looks like that.
Elaine: Because, I was thinking... Are you at all concerned that living in the same building will, you know, cramp our styles?
Jerry: Na.
Elaine: Because, I was worried that there might be a situation in which one of us come home with somebody, it could get a little uncomfortable. But as long as you're okay with it, it's fine with me.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: [on the phone] George, I didn't sleep at all last night. I decided I have to tell her.. I'm just going to be honest. That's all. Yes, I'm nervous. Are you listening to me? Just put some soap on your finger, it'll slide right off.. Then try axle grease.

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: Well, it's all taken care of. Everything's cool.
Jerry: What? What's cool?
Kramer: Elaine.
Jerry: What are you talking about?
Kramer: I just found a guy who's willing to pay ten thousand dollars for the apartment.
Jerry: You what?! Get out! Ten thousand?
Kramer: [nods] Cash.
Jerry: Who would pay that much?
Kramer: He's in the music business.
Jerry: Elaine would never borrow that much money! Kramer, my God, man! This is beautiful! I think I'm in the clear here. Elaine's not moving in! I don't have to confront her! She has no idea I never wanted her to move in.. I"m golden!
Kramer: Well, occasionally, I like to help the humans.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: Wow. You're right. That is loud.
Jerry: It's just unbelievable.
Elaine: They rehearse all the time?
Jerry: All the time. I've been up there six times. They refuse to stop. I can't live like this. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm heading for breakdown! [to Harold] Can't you do something?
Harold: I'm not going up. It stinks up there.
Jerry: Manny..
Manny: [speaks Spanish]
Harold: I'm not the one who said eleven o' clock. He makes up his own rules.
Elaine: Boy, too bad. If I was up there, you'd never hear a peep out of me. I'm as quiet as a mouse.
Kramer: [enters] Oh, I love the one they do right after this one!
