Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Hey, how did you do on that IQ test?
George: I didn't take it yet.
Elaine: What IQ test?
George: What's casus belli?
Jerry: Oh, it's nothing...
George: Is it about me?
Jerry: Why must you always be the focal point of attention? Why can't you just be? Why can't you live?
Elaine: It's just a Latin phrase, George. It does not mean anything.

Quote from Elaine

Jerry: Well, that would be something. Cheating on a IQ test. Hey, remember in college when you passed Lettick the test out the window? You became a legend after that.
George: Yeah. Yeah, I really had some guts back then. Why don't we do that again?
Elaine: What?
George: You could take the IQ test for me. I could pass it to you out the window. We could do it, she lives on the first floor.
Elaine: Are you serious?
George: Why not?
Elaine: Where would I take the test?
George: I don't know. She lives right around the corner. Take it here or go to the coffee shop.
Elaine: No, that would be too noisy.
Jerry: Take it to Dream Cafe, you won't hear a peep.

Quote from George

Elaine: What's been going on in there? I've been standing here for 20 minutes.

Elaine: All right, what time do you want me back here.
George: Eh, twenty to three.
Elaine: Ok.
George: Thanks again.
Elaine: All right.
George: And don't settle for 145, you can do better, you're a genius.
