George’s Mother: Every day it’s something else with you. I don’t know anything about you any more. Who are you? What kind of life are you leading? Who knows what you’re doing? Maybe you’re making porno films.

Puddy: Hi-five!

Car salesman: Well, where are we going?

George: Well, I guess everyone here enjoys giving the ol’ screwgie.

[George lying face down on the floor reaching under the vending machine]
Jerry: I think the candy comes out over there.
George: People drop change down here, Jerry, and they’re too lazy to pick it up.

Jerry: Why do I get bananas? They’re good for *one* day…

Jerry: Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don’t stare at it. You get a sense and then look away.

George: Kramer goes to a fantasy camp. His whole life is a fantasy camp. People should plunk down two-thousand dollars to live like him for a week. Do nothing, fall ass-backwards into money, mooch food off your neighbors, and have sex without dating. That’s a fantasy camp!

George: I happen to dress based on mood.
Jerry: But you essentially wear the same thing all the time.

George: It’s not you, it’s me…. You’re giving me the ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ routine? I invented ‘It’s not you, it’s me.’ Nobody tells me it’s them, not me. If it’s anybody, it’s me.
Gwen: all right, George, it’s you.
George: You’re damn right it’s me.

Jerry: What’s the matter?

Kramer: Hey, Jerry, rub some lotion on my back.
Jerry: Who are you, Mrs. Robinson?
Kramer: C’mon, and I’ll rub some on you.
Jerry: That’s not sweetening the deal.

Jerry: So let me get this straight. You find yourself in the kitchen, you see an eclair in the receptacle, and you think to yourself, ‘What the hell, I’ll just eat some trash.’
George: No no no no no. It was not trash.
Jerry: Was it in the trash?”
George: Yes.

George: Above the rim.

Jerry: I don’t understand. Do you have my reservation?
Car Rental Assistant: We have your reservation, we just ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here, that’s why you have the reservation!
Car Rental Assistant: I think I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don’t think you do. You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don’t know how to *hold* the reservation. And that’s really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.

George: You’re really moving to California?
Kramer: [points to his head] Up here, I’m already gone.
