Quote from Elaine

Elaine: Look, there's a spaceship! That is so cool!
Mr. Pitt: Where is it?
Elaine: Right here.
Mr. Pitt: I'm looking there!
Elaine: No, no, unfocused.
Mr. Pitt: I am unfocused!

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: So, Ceausescu. He must've been some dictator.
Katya: Oh, yes. He was not shy about dictating.
Jerry: He, uh, he must've been dictating first thing in the morning. "I want a cup of coffee and a muffin!"
Katya: And you could not refuse.
Jerry: No, you'd have to be crazy.
Katya: He was a very bad dictator.
Jerry: Yes. Very bad. Very, very bad.

Quote from Elaine

Aronson: Our shareholders have given basic approval for the merger, including the stock swap.
Elaine: Ah. The "stock swap". Let's swap some stock. [giggles]
Beck: And if you'll just give this to Mr. Pitt, and tell him we expect to be in full-scale production by the spring.
Elaine: All right. Hey, you guys, what's the name of the new company gonna be?
Beck: Moland Spring.
Elaine: "Moland"?
Aronson: Yes, we combined Morgan and Poland.
Elaine: Yeah, I know, but... "Moland"? I wouldn't drink anything called "Moland".
Aronson: But it was Mr. Pitt's idea.
Elaine: Oh! Well, ah, what's in a name? I mean, water's water. Right?
Aronson: [to Beck] We've got to do something about that name.

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: [enters] Behold! The Games of the '84 Olympiad! Katya's silver medal performance! [inserts VCR tape]
Jerry: Kramer, are you still on this? I've seen gymnasts. I know what they do. It's not going to make any difference.
Kramer: Jerry, what is your problem?
Jerry: Kramer, you know, guys like you, with no conscience, don't know what it's like for guys like me. I'm in the unfortunate position of having to consider people's feelings.
Kramer: All right, Jerry, are you familiar with the Kama Sutra?
Jerry: No.
Kramer: Tantric yoga?
Jerry: No.
Kramer: Jerry, you stand on the threshold to the magical world of sensual delights that most men dare not dream of!
Jerry: Boy, you can really talk some trash. I guess that's better than eating it.

Quote from Kramer

George: Did you pass your stone yet?
Kramer: Not yet. But the suspense is killing me.

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: Hey, that's her.
Kramer: Oh yeah. Oh yeah, that's her. Look at the height, Jerry, the extension! Now watch the tuck. Handstand, half-turn, giant into a straddle, back into another handstand. Nice kip, reverse hecht. Oh, nice leg extension, good form! Now, here comes the big dismount. Look at the rotation, full in, double back, and she sticks the landing! [gets up to leave] Perhaps you'd like to keep the tape? [Jerry and George are silent] Well, I'll take that as a yes.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Well, here we are.
Katya: Yes. We are here.
Jerry: How did you stay on that beam like that? I mean, it's only this wide!
Katya: I can balance myself in any position. It is amazing after years of training how one can contort one's body. Of course, it is only useful in gymnastics.
Jerry: Oh boy...

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: I couldn't believe it. Uh, I mean I thought I was entering a "magical world" of sensual delights, but it was just so ordinary. I mean, there was nothing gymnastic about it.
Elaine: Well, what did you think she was gonna do?
Jerry: Well, you know. I mean... I dunno.
Elaine: No, what?
Jerry: Well, obviously I prefer not to mention any...
Elaine: What did you think, she was going to take some of that chalk and...
Jerry: You see, now I really don't want to get into this, any kind of specifics.

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: What happened, did you pass the stone?
Kramer: [o.s.] No, I tried to do a reverse hecht off my couch and I didn't make it.
