Quotes

George: I suppose we could go to Lincoln Center and I'd be wearing sneakers and jeans and that would be fine, too.
Paula: You can wear sweatpants.
George: (stunned) I could?

Newman: (to Jerry) So you have fleas. Maybe you keep your house in a state of disrepair. Maybe you live in squalor.

Kramer: I used to have fleas.
Jerry: What did you do about them?
Kramer: What do you mean?

Kramer: (eating a Mackinaw peach) It's like having a circus in my mouth.

Leo: (sees Elaine) They said they were sending an Asian woman.

Jerry: (sniffs wrappers) I know the chunky that left these Chunkies... Newman!!

Paula: (to George) You could drape yourself in velvet for all I care.

Elaine: The point, George, is she likes you.
George: Oh, so what. I'd rather she hate me and thought I was good looking.

Jerry: See, the thing of it is, there's a lot of ugly people out there walking around but they don't know they're ugly because nobody actually tells them.

Jerry: Oh man, did you see that? I ate discarded food!
George: Well, I've done that.
Jerry: Yeah, but with you it's intentional.

George: You know Jerry; I've been searching for someone a long time. Well, the search is over.
Jerry: And now the search for the right psychiatrist begins.

Jerry: (about George) When he's dead he'll be relieved.

George: I want you to find out if she likes me.
Elaine: Find out if she likes you? What, are you in high school?

Jerry: Mom, Dad... I have fleas!
