Quote from Kramer

Jerry: Hey, Dad, you know, you can program this thing to beep every time you need a vitamin.
[Kramer walks in]
Jerry: Dad, you look so different.
Kramer: We're campaigning, Jerry. To rule the people, one must walk among them.
Morty Seinfeld: This is the homestretch. Tomorrow's the election.
Kramer: Right, yeah. The poll's close after dinner. Three o'clock. But then when we win, the celebration goes all night until the break of 8 p.m.

Elaine: Maybe.

Quote from George

George: You must hate hot dogs, huh? Or else you really like them and that's why you do this. I tell you, if I had one of these things I'd be eating hot dogs all the time.
Man: You gonna buy a hot dog or not?
George: No.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: So, George, do you have any thoughts on this Darryl situation?
George: Actually, I did have a thought.
Elaine: Oh.
George: Why don't you just ask him?
Elaine: Because if I ask him, then it's like I really want to know.
George: Maybe he's... mixed.
Elaine: Is that the right word?
George: I really don't think we're supposed to be talking about this. I'm just gonna go to the bathroom.
Elaine: You know what? I'm leaving. I'll just talk to Jerry when he gets back.

Quote from George

George: Rosses.
Mr. Ross: George. We were just talking about you.
George: Well, sorry I missed that charity thing, but this was one of those truly glorious Hampton weekends that you always hear about.
Mrs. Ross: Really?
George: Yeah, I may move out there. [off their look] I mean it. I'll do it. [they're silent] Okay, I'll see you later. Keep it real.
