Quote from Jerry

George: So, how's Cindy the maid?
Jerry: Well, everything's going great except, basically, I'm paying for sex.
George: Tell me about it. I went out with this girl last week. First I had to pay for dinner, then--
Jerry: No, George. She's coming over and not cleaning. It's like I'm seeing a prostitute.
George: How much you pay this maid?
Jerry: 40.
George: 40? I'm paying 60 to my maid. She doesn't do laundry and I'm getting nothing. All right. Once she pinched my ass, but I don't know what that was.
Jerry: I don't know what this is.

George: It's "ooh" As in "ooh ooh ah ah."

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: Jerry, this relationship is killing me. The distance, the longing, the distance, the... You know, I didn't realize it, but I'm a needy person.
Jerry: Kramer, maybe this relationship isn't for you.
Kramer: Oh, yeah? So what am I supposed to do, be more like you? All sealed up in here, emotionally unavailable, paying scrub women for sexual favors! No! Jerry, I won't be like you! Never! I'll never be like you! [exits]
