Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Well, you should have seen it. It was quite a scene over there.

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: Anyway, Jerry and Elaine felt very badly about what happened to you, and they wanted you to have this.
Poppie: What's this? A bottle of wine and a five-alarm chili? They're trying to kill Poppie?!
Kramer: Why, what...?
Poppie: Don't they know I have a gastro-intestinal disorder? If I would have any of this, I would die. Then Poppie's no good to anyone! This is a sick, sick joke on Poppie. How could you be friends with those two?
Kramer: Well, we're not very close.
Poppie: They owe me for those ducks. They were flown in from Newfoundland.
Kramer: Oh, they got good ducks there, huh?
Poppie: Oh, very good ducks.

Quote from Jerry

Elaine: I'm in love.
Jerry: Whoa.
Elaine: This is it, Jerry. This is it. He is such an incredible person. He's real, he's honest, he's unpretentious... Ooh, I'm really lucky.
Jerry: Did you tell him I was sorry I didn't offer him the drink?
Elaine: No, I forgot. And, the best part is, he doesn't play games. You know? There are no games.
Jerry: No games? What is the point of dating without games? How do you know if you're winning or losing?

Quote from Jerry

Elaine: [putting on lipstick] Well, all I know is, he doesn't like games and he doesn't play games, you know? He has too much character and integrity.
Jerry: Uh-huh. And what is his stand on abortion?
Elaine: [with smeared lipstick] What?
Jerry: What is his stand on abortion?
Elaine: Well, I'm sure he's pro-choice.
Jerry: How do you know?
Elaine: Because he... Well... He's just so good-looking.
Jerry: Well, you should probably ask, because if he's gonna be coming over with those Pokeno's pizzas, could be trouble.

Quote from George

George: I'd like to rent Breakfast At Tiffany's.
Clerk: Oh, this is out. Someone has it.
George: Out? Oh no, I've been to four other places, you're the only ones that have had it.
Clerk: Well, I could put it on reserve for you, if you'd like.
George: Maybe we could call them and ask them to return it.
Clerk: Oh, sorry. We can't do that.
George: Well, maybe they're done with it. I could go pick it up.
Clerk: I don't think so. It doesn't work that way.
[After the clerk goes over to serve another customer, George takes a good look at the store's computer]

Quote from George

Mr. Temple: [on intercom] Yes?
George: Uh, excuse me, are you Joe Temple?
Mr. Temple: Yes.
George: Uh, yes. Uh, you don't know me, my name is George Costanza. Did you happen to rent Breakfast At Tiffany's?

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Hey, what's happenin.'
Kramer: Well, you know, Poppie's over at my place. Tonight's the big night. I'm gonna make the first test pizza at the restaurant.
Jerry: You got a regular 'Manhattan Project' going on over there.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Kramer, Kramer, what is this?!
Kramer: What is what?
Jerry: This puddle on my sofa!
Kramer: What puddle?
Jerry: That puddle!
Kramer: [shudders] I don't know.
Jerry: Is it...? Could it...? Could he have...? It is! Poppie peed on my sofa!

Quote from Elaine

Carl: Do you think about me?
Elaine: Oh yeah, all the time, all the time...although, recently I've been thinking about this friend of mine.
Carl: What friend?
Elaine: Oh, just this woman. She got impregnated by her troglodytic half-brother, and decided to have an abortion.
Carl: You know, someday, we're going to get enough people in the Supreme Court to change that law.
[Elaine weeps to herself]

Quote from George

Mrs. Temple: I'm home.
Mr. Temple: Hey, honey.
Remy: Hi, Mom.
Mrs. Temple: Hi, baby. Hello. Breakfast At Tiffany's?
Mr. Temple: Yeah.
Mrs. Temple: Well, I just came back from Angela's, it's not looking very good for Duncan.
Mr. Temple: Aw, that's too bad.
Mrs. Temple: Yeah, the doctor thinks it's just a matter of time -
George: [clears throat] Joe, could you...?
