Quote from Newman

Newman: All right, now here's the lowdown. From a certain connection, I've been able to locate some black market shower heads. They're all made in the former Yugoslavia. Aand from what I hear, the Serbs are fanatic about their showers.
Jerry: Not from the footage I've seen.
Newman: Nevertheless, sometime this afternoon, behind the Market Diner, an unmarked van will be waiting. I'm expecting the call at any time. Are you in?
Kramer: I'm down. [places hand on Newman's hand]

Jerry: Nothing. A bottle broke. That's all. What do you mean, you're gonna move in here?
Morty Seinfeld: Because the Costanzas are moving into Del Boca Vista.
Jerry: But it's a big complex.
Morty Seinfeld: You don't understand, you gotta have a buffer zone.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: They're not going back to Florida. They're moving here.
George: What? Why?
Jerry: Because your parents are going down there. My buffer zone just went from twelve hundred miles down to two feet! You gotta do something.
George: Hey, I'm sorry, you had your buffer zone for many years. It's my turn to live, baby.
Jerry: You know what you're doing, don't you? You're killing Independent Jerry! I gotta go see my Uncle Leo. I think he may have made a big mistake.
