Quote from Newman
Elaine: Well, um, I was just curious if I were interested in availing myself of your services, um, what exactly would you do?
Newman: Well, Elaine. There's any number of things I could do. But, I can promise you this, though. This vicious beast will never bother you again. So, what's it going to be?
Elaine: No, I'm sorry. I can't hurt a dog. I can't hurt a dog. I can't.
Kramer: I got it. We'll kidnap him. We'll kidnap the dog and we'll drop him off Upstate. And this way, he won't bother you anymore and he won't get hurt.
Newman: Yeah, I suppose.
Kramer: Huh?
Elaine: I'd have to think about it. I doubt it, though. I doubt it. I'll let you know.
Newman: Of course. Take your time. I'll be here.

Jerry: Oh, my god!
George: I'm a man. Jerry, I'm a man. And do you know why? It's because of that talk we had. You were my inspiration. Do you believe it? You. That lunch was the defining moment of my life.
Quote from Jerry
George: So, what's going on with you and Melanie? I mean, I know you're not getting married, but uh, things are happening?
Jerry: Well... actually, we kind of broke up.
George: You what?
Jerry: Well, you know, we were having dinner the other night, and she's got this strangest habit. She eats her peas one at a time. You've never seen anything like it. It takes her, like, an hour to finish them. I mean, we've had dinner other times. I've seen her eat corn niblets, but she scooped them.
George: She scooped the niblets?
Jerry: Yes. That's what was so vexing.
