Quotes

Kramer: Why don't you just tell me the name of the movie you've selected?!

George: I have relationship George, but I also have independent George. That's the George you know, the George you grew up with: movie George, coffee shop George, liar George, bawdy George.
Jerry: I love that George.
George: Me too, and he's dying, Jerry! If relationship George walks through that door, he will kill independent George. A George divided against itself cannot stand!

George: (on Susan's friendship with Elaine) Worlds are colliding!

Kramer: There's nothing more pathetic than a grown man who's afraid of a woman.

Kramer: This world here, this is George's sanctuary. If Susan comes into contact with this world, his worlds collide!

Kramer: I'm getting a new telephone number.
Jerry: How come?
Kramer: Chicks, man. Too many chicks know my number.

George: You're killing "Independent George"! You know that, don't you?
Elaine: George I don't even want to get...
George: You know what word Susan used last night? Huh? "Vault"!

Susan: Anyway, I thought we'd all go to a movie on Friday.
George: We'd all go to movie on Friday?
Susan: Yeah.
George: This is not good. Worlds are colliding! George is getting upset!

Elaine: Hi, three for Chunnel. Two adults... (looks at Jerry) one child.

Jerry: What else did you two do?
Elaine: Ah, you know, girl stuff.
Jerry: Flower shows, shopping for pretty bows, and then back to her place strip down to bra and panties for a tickle fight?
Elaine: That's really what you think girls do, isn't it?
Jerry: Yes, I do.
