Quote from Jerry

Jerry: What about his house in Tuscany, he mention that?
Elaine: Yeah. I'm invited.
Jerry: You know, when I told him it was beautiful there, out of the clear blue sky, he says, "There's nothing to rent." As if he doesn't want anyone else there.
Elaine: Why?
Jerry: I don't know. Maybe he's embarrassed by Americans.
Elaine: Yeah, well, maybe there aren't any houses to rent there.
Jerry: In all of Tuscany? I wonder.

Jerry: Yeah, you know the other day how you mentioned that there were no houses available in Tuscany?
Maestro: You didn't find one, did you?

Jerry: I can't get a sublet, a guest room, a cot, nothing?
Maestro: It's booked solid!
Elaine: It's booked, Jerry!
