Quote from George
Nina: My father gave me four tickets to the Yankee game for Saturday afternoon. Owner's box, first row behind the dugout.
Jerry: Oh, Saturday, I'm working. I'm going out of town.
Nina: Oh, well. I'm not gonna go without you. Do you guys want 'em?
Kramer: [immediately] Yeah.
Jerry: They're right behind the dugout, George, first row!
George: Behind the dugout, are you kidding? How did you get them?
Nina: Oh, my father's the Yankees accountant. It's the owner's box.
George: All my life I've dreamed of sitting front row, behind the dugout!
Nina: [gesturing to a painting George happened to be holding] You like that one?
Quote from George
George: We're not in the first row?
Usher: No, no, these are your seats.
George: She said first row! Right behind the dugout!
Elaine: Well, it's the second row. It's just as good.
George: I was all primed for the first row. I was gonna put my feet up on the dugout!
Elaine: Would you shut up? These are great! You can't get any better than this.
George: Oh, there's better. Right there, that's better.
Quote from Kramer
Kramer: You better catch it, Johnny, 'cause this ain't Philadelphia!
Quote from George
Mr. West: George, I heard you bought one of Nina's paintings.
George: Yeah, it's being framed right now. I don't even know what it costs. Not, uh, too expensive, is it?
Mr. West: Well, if you have a lot of money. It was cheaper for me when she was an actress.
Quote from Elaine
Elaine: And then the ball hits him in the head and he falls right over the railing!
Jerry: Is he okay?
Elaine: Well, yeah, he's fine! We took him to the emergency room, and you know, the x-rays were all negative.It was quite a day.
Jerry: This is the most amazing story I've ever heard. Why did he want you to take off the baseball cap? That is so insane!
Elaine: I know! Can you imagine that?
Quote from Kramer
[Kramer enters with a bandaged forehead]
Jerry: How you feeling?
Kramer: Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. [to Elaine] Hi, Carol.
Quote from Elaine
Elaine: Oh, my God! Lippman could see this! He thinks I was visiting my father! Oh my g- I make up one little white lie and they put my picture in the paper!
Quote from Elaine
Mr. Lippman: I'm going to Houston. It's a publisher's convention. Can I have my sports section?
Elaine: Ah. ...Yeah.
Mr. Lippman: I've been saving it for the plane. I never miss the Sunday sports section.
Elaine: Well, you know, there's nothing to read, it's just yesterday's news. You know, the Yankees won, the Mets lost, Ricky Henderson's unhappy...
Mr. Lippman: Right, right. [tries to take the sports section as Elaine holds tight] What, what are you doing?
Elaine: Wha- Oh! Oh, god! That is the third time today I have done that. Blaah. I keep grabbing news papers and just tugging at 'em... (laughs)
Mr. Lippman: Gotta go.
Elaine: Okay! Well, you know, have a nice trip, and uh... All righty! I'll just hold down the, uh, fort!
Quote from Kramer
Kramer: This was in front of your door.
George: Hey, Kramer.
Kramer: Hi, Mike.
Jerry: Wow, a letter from Nina!
Kramer: [sees George's painting] Whoa, man! That is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!
