Jean-Paul: Aw, look at the cute little bastard!

Jean-Paul: This son-of-a-bitch is ICE cold!

Jerry: What happened to your mental alarm?
Kramer: I guess I hit the snooze.

Clayton: ...speak up George, I can't hear you!
George: You tell that son-of-a-bitch that no Yankee is ever coming to Houston; not as long as you bastards are running things!
(Mr. Wilhelm walks by right as George curses)

Kramer: No I'm telling ya, it's great; I opened up all the windows; the air is cold, the tub is boiling-hot; it's like Sweden, man. Sweee-den!

Jerry: Ok...we're going with adult contempo!

Elaine: He's Trinidadian and Tobagan.

George Steinbrenner: We all get a little cuckoo sometimes, George. I used to be like you. Berating personnel until they cried, calling managers on the field during a game, threatening to move the team to New Jersey, just to upset people. Then I found a way to relax. I've got two words to say to you, George... Hot Tub!

Jean-Paul: Why separate knob? Why separate knob!?
Jerry: Some people like to have the radio alarm a little louder than the radio.
Jean-Paul: Oh please, man , please!
