Quote from George

Kelly: Hello
George: Hello.
Kelly: Well, what's it going to be?
George: What's it gonna be?
Kelly: Yes. What'll you have? Are you eating? It's in that vein.
George: I'll, uh, I'll just have a bowl of chili.
Jerry: I'll have an egg white omelet.
[Kelly walks away]
George: What's it gonna be? You hear that?
Jerry: Yeah, that was bad.
George: Did you feel that tension? We use to have banter. There's no more banter.

Quote from Jerry

Kenny Bania: Hey.
Jerry: Hey.
Kenny Bania: You worn the suit yet?
Jerry: Actually, I did. I put it on last night and slept in it.
Kenny Bania: You did?
Jerry: Oh, I'm joking.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: Hi.
Jerry: Where's Simon?
Elaine: Oh, he'll be right up. He's just getting some beer. And I'm not expecting any change.
Jerry: When's he leaving?
Elaine: About 2 days. Although he's hinting at how he'd like to stay. Fortunately, he has no money and no prospects.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: [answers the phone] Hello? No, I'm sorry, Bania. I'm not going over this again. Well, who told you to order soup? ... No! There's no dinner. There's not going to be any dinner. You've had a sandwich and two bowls of soup and that's it. Good-bye. [hangs up] Hey, what size suit are you?
Simon: 40.
Jerry: 40. Perfect. Brand-new Armani suit, you want it?
Simon: Absolutely.
Jerry: Great, its yours. I can't stand the sight of it.

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: You want food, don't you?
Kramer: It's not for me. It's for Hildy, the waitress I was telling you about. She's hungry. She wants food. If I go back in there without any food, [voice breaks] there's gonna be trouble.

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: Hey. She's hungry, Jerry.
Jerry: Well, there's nothing left. There's no food.
Kramer: No food? Well you gotta have something. I can't go back in there with no food. She's expecting something, Jerry. You don't know what she's like when that blood sugar is drops.
Hildy: [o.s.] Food!
Kramer: There, you see. She's already in a bad mood. She just got fired.
Jerry: Why'd she get fired?
Kramer: Oh, because I called over there a couple of times and the manager didn't like it.
[An excited George clicks his fingers at Jerry and picks up the phone]

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: So, Simon is definitely going back now. He's meeting me here to return my keys.
Jerry: Boy, he's a real bounder, isn't he?
Elaine: Yes, he's one of those bounders.

Quote from George

Manager: [on the phone] I told you, she's busy. She can't come to the phone now! [hangs up; to Kelly:] You better tell your boyfriend to stop calling here.
Kelly: Oh, he's not my boyfriend. It's that bald guy with the glasses, who's always in here with them. He's trying to get me in trouble.
Manager: [to Jerry and Elaine] Hey! Yeah. I got a message for you. You tell your friend, George, that the next time I see him around here, I'm going to turn him into my own, personal, hand-puppet.

Quote from Elaine

Simon: Well, hello. Here you are as promised. You see, I'm a man of my word.
Elaine: When are you leaving?
Simon: Elaine, are you trying to get rid of me? [chuckles] I was supposed to leave tomorrow, but all of a sudden, I've been set up with a job interview that might enable me to extend my visit indefinitely. And it is all due, to this suit. How do I look? I'm a shoo-in aren't I. Thanks again, love. [walks away]
Elaine: Hey, Kenny. You still want to get that suit back?
Kenny Bania: Yeah!
Elaine: There it goes. [points to Simon walking out the door]
Kenny Bania: Hey! Hey! Come here you!
