Quote from Elaine

Elaine: [to George] Stay away from her.
George: I didn't do nothing.
Elaine: [to Anna] Get in the car.
Anna: But...
Elaine: You heard me young lady, get in the car. [to George] And you! You should know better. I don't want you infecting my staff.
George: Lighten up.

Quote from Jerry

Brody: Jerry, finish shooting the movie for me.
Jerry: Are you nuts? There's no way I'm holding that thing.
Kramer: Jerry, if the man is in pain...
Jerry: Yeah? Well, maybe if he didn't lick his fingers before he reached in the bag we would've eaten some. Serves him right.
Brody: [shows his gun] What are you some kind of tough guy?
Kramer: Okay. Let's everybody just relax. Jerry, take the camera.
Jerry: All right, I'm taking the camera.
Kramer: [to Brody] Come on, let's go. [they leave]
Jerry: Oh, man... [slinks down in his seat]

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: So how was the rest of Death Blow?
Jerry: How was the rest of Death Blow?
Kramer: Yeah, who got the final Death Blow? Cause I thought that Hawaiian guy had it coming to him!
Jerry: Kramer, you make me get a ticket for this friend of yours and then the guy forces me to bootleg the movie at gun point!
Kramer: He's quite a character, isn't he?
Jerry: You know, he came by here at 3 o'clock in the morning to pick up the tape. I was scared out of my mind!

Quote from Jerry

Brody: Jerry, I have to talk to you about the tape.
Jerry: Yeah.
Brody: I've never seen such beautiful work.
Jerry: What?
Brody: You're a genius. The zoom-ins, the framing. I was enchanted.
Jerry: Well, I did the best I could.
Brody: I got another project for you. Here, go ahead. It's a movie called Cry, Cry Again. I was gonna give it to one of my other guys, but it's an arty movie and quite frankly, they don't have the sensibility.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! What were you thinking when you shot this?
Kramer: That's fine.
Jerry: Do you even know what this scene is about?
Kramer: It's about a guy buying a loaf of bread.
Jerry: No, bread is his soul. He's trying to buy back a loaf of his soul.
Kramer: Wha-? Where?
Jerry: Kramer, there is no way you're giving this tape to Brody and telling him I shot it.
Kramer: Nah, he's not going to know the difference.
Jerry: I don't care about Brody. I was up on 96th Street today. There was a little kid couldn't have been more than ten years old. He was asking a street vendor if he had any other bootlegs that looked as good as Death Blow. That's who I care about. The little kid who needs bootlegs, because his parent or guardian won't let him see the excessive violence and strong sexual content you and I take for granted.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: Well, I have lost complete control of my staff. Why did I let George go to that party? I mean, we were having so much fun. I mean, we were wining, we were dining, we were dancing. [Kramer shudders as Elaine dances]
Kramer: Please.
Elaine: What?
Kramer: This... thing.
Elaine: It's dancing.
Kramer: No, no. That ain't dancing, Sally.
Elaine: I dance fine.
Kramer: You stink. [exits]

Quote from Jerry

Elaine: He doesn't know what he's talking about. [Jerry gives a week laugh] Jerry? Jerry? I'm a good dancer, right?
Jerry: I forgot to make my bed.
Elaine: Jerry, do I stink?
Jerry: All right. You're beyond stink.
Elaine: But I really enjoy dancing.
Jerry: And that's not helping either. That's why you're having trouble with your staff, not because of George.
Elaine: It's that bad?
Jerry: Have you ever seen yourself? [Elaine starts to dance] Ah, ah, please, please. Not in my home.

Quote from George

Elaine: [on speakerphone] George, hi. I have Anna here. There's something I wanna say to both of you.
George: Yo, Anna.
Anna: Hi, George. What're you up to?
George: [ironing] You don't wanna know.
Elaine: Uh, well, listen. I feel really horrible about trying to keep you two apart and I just wanted to apologize.
George: What're you talkin' about?
Elaine: Well, George, I just want you to hear me say to Anna that you're a good and decent person.
George: Pick up the phone, Elaine. Pick it up!
Elaine: I never should have given Anna the impression...
George: Pick it up, pick it up!
Elaine: ...that you're a bad seed, I mean, you're a fine seed.
George: Elaine, get off the speaker!
Elaine: [picks up the phone] What?
George: You are ruining everything.
Elaine: What? I'm trying to help. Why are you being so difficult?
George: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. More of that, difficult. I'm a difficult seed.
Elaine: George, I don't have time for this. Uh, Anna, do you wanna talk to George?
Anna: Um, no, I don't think so.
Elaine: No, she doesn't want to. Okay, bye, George. We'll see you.
George: I'm a bad man!

Quote from Jerry

Brody: So where's the tape?
Jerry: No, I didn't shoot this one. I'm just scouting the location.
Brody: I need the tape.
Jerry: You'll get your tape. But here's what I'm gonna need. I'm gonna need three cameras, two on the floor, one in the balcony. And I want headsets for the guys running them. I wanna be able to talk to them.
Brody: Are you out of your mind?

Quote from George

George: Well, I'm the good boy again. Can you believe that?
Jerry: They think they can get anyone to shoot these bootlegs.
George: Anna actually has respect for me now. [chuckles] It's all over.
Jerry: Eh, the whole business has changed. It's all about money now. The sad thing is it's the kids that suffer.
Kramer: [enters] Listen, man. You gotta shoot this movie for me. Brody, he's a reasonable man, but he's insane!
Jerry: Kramer, I'm not doing this anymore. I don't know what I was thinking. It's illegal, it's dangerous...
George: Did you say dangerous?
