Quote from Elaine

George: How's it going?
Elaine: Good. Good. You?
George: Things are good.
[George starts whistling. He picks up a chew toy and squeaks it.]
Elaine: Boy, he takes such a long time.
George: I know.
Elaine: You know what he does in there? He gargles.
George: Jerry gargles? Is that why he takes so long?
Elaine: Yeah, he does it like six times a day.
George: How come we never hear him?
Elaine: Because he does it quiet. He does it quiet. Look it, just like this, watch. [gargles, starts laughing]
George: Wait, wait, did you ever see him throw up?!
Elaine: We talked about that already.
George: Oh.

Quote from George

George: I have nothing to say to anybody. I'm so uninteresting. I think I'm out of conversation.
Jerry: So why are you calling me six times a day?
George: All I know about is sports. That's it. No matter how depressed I get, I could always read the sports section.
Jerry: I could read the sports section if my hair was on fire.

Quote from Jerry

George: I mean, I could understand if there was something else playing, but it's this or nothing.
Jerry: I don't know what to do.
George: What is this 'saving movies' thing? Something's playing, you go.
Jerry: I know, I know.
George: So, what? We're gonna do nothing now, this is crazy.
Jerry: It is kind of silly.
George: Of course it is.
Jerry: I mean, it's just a movie, for god's sake.
George: Exactly.
Jerry: It's not like she's in the movie.
George: Right.
Jerry: Am I supposed to ruin the whole night because she wants to see it? I mean, if I could have seen it with her, fine. But I can't control all these circumstances and schedules and people's availabilities at movies.
George: And she'll still see it, you're not stopping her from seeing it.
Jerry: How does sitting next to a person in a movie theater increase the level of enjoyment? You can't talk during a movie. You know, this is stupid, come on, let's just go.
George: Good.
Jerry: Saving movies.
George: Ridiculous!
Jerry: Two for Prognosis Negative. I'm in trouble.
George: Oh, you're dead.

Quote from Kramer

Gavin: [jittery British accent] Bell's Palsy. The entire side of my, of... Of my face was paralyzed. Farfel! I couldn't... I couldn't... I couldn't even feed myself, I was completely incapacitated. Quiet Farfel!
Jerry: You know, it's interesting, because I called the hospital and they said you were released on Monday.
Gavin: Yes, yes, that's true, but then I was taken to the Bell's Palsy Center in... In... In... In Rockford. Absolutely first rate facility. Top notch physicians.
Kramer: Hey, come on, come on, get off me!
Gavin: He won't hurt you, he's just playing.
Kramer: Hey you keep that mutt away from me.
Gavin: Mutt? I'll wager his parents are more pure than yours.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Listen, it's really been a pleasure taking care of your dog for a week, but if you don't mind...
Gavin: Pre... Prediction. You'll be calling me to ask if you can come and visit him before the month is out.
Jerry: Prediction. I never see you or him again for the rest of my life.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: We made plans.
Jerry: Why don't we just rent a movie?
Elaine: I thought you wanted to see Prognosis Negative.
Jerry: No, it's supposed to be really bad. Really bad. I mean it's long, there's no story, it's so unbelievably boring, I heard.
Elaine: Jerry, you promised me we'd go.
Jerry: Well, George told me the whole story, line for line. I mean, I almost feel like I've seen it already and walked out on it.
Elaine: Wait, George saw the movie? I saw him yesterday, he didn't mention it.
Jerry: You and George got together?
Elaine: Yeah, I wanted to talk about how we have nothing to talk about.

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: What's up?
Kramer: Well, you were right.
Jerry: About what?
Kramer: Ellen. We, uh, broke up again.
Both: Aww.
Jerry: Too bad.
Elaine: I thought she was the one.
Kramer: I'll bring back the pot.

Quote from Jerry

Elaine: Okay, come on it's movie time.
Kramer: Hey, what are you gonna see?
Jerry: Prognosis Negative.
Kramer: Hey, that's supposed to be great.
Jerry: It's not.
Kramer: How do you know?
Jerry: I have an instinct for these things.
