Quote from Elaine

Elaine: Aaron? Aaron, are you ok?
Aaron: I could've done more. I could've done so much more.
Elaine: You did enough.
Aaron: No, I could've called the travel agency, got them on another flight to Paris, I could have got them out.
Jerry: You tried, Aaron, it was too expensive.
Aaron: This watch... This watch could've paid for their whole trip. This ring. This ring is one more dinner I could've taken them out to. Water. They need some water. [runs towards the gate]
Elaine: Why?
Aaron: [to the agent] They'll get dehydrated on the plane! Get the Seinfelds some water. Please! Please!
