Quotes 

  • [In Central Park, George is taking a walk with Kelly, whom he believes to be single] 

    Kelly : I'm just doing this waitress thing for a while, because I wanted to go to Europe this summer and I could use a few extra... Careful.

    [She points to the ground, so that George will see the fresh horse manure and avoid stepping in it] 

    George Costanza : Oh. It's just horse manure. Horse manure's not that bad. I don't even mind the word 'manure.' You know, it's, it's 'newer,' which is good. And a 'ma' in front of it. MA-NURE. When you consider the other choices, 'manure' is actually pretty refreshing.

    Kelly : That's a nice watch, George.

    George Costanza : Yeah.

    Kelly : You know, my boyfriend has the same one.

    George Costanza : [She has a boyfriend?]  Huh. Really?

    Kelly : Yeah, he loves watches. He's a real watch freak.

    George Costanza : Well, how about that?

    Kelly : Ooh, look out. You stepped right in it.

    George Costanza : Yes, I sure did.

  • [Jerry and George are at Monk's] 

    Jerry Seinfeld : Oh, no, it's Kenny. Slide out so he can't sit down.

    [George and Jerry each slide to the end of their booth seats] 

    Kenny : Hey.

    Jerry Seinfeld : Hey.

    Kenny : You worn the suit yet?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Actually, I did. I put it on last night and slept in it.

    Kenny : You did?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Oh, I'm joking.

    Kenny : OH! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Can I squeeze in?

    George Costanza : [bleakly]  Sure you can.

    Kelly : Can I take your order?

    Kenny : What kind of soup do you have?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Why don't you get a sandwich?

    Kenny : Okay, I'll have tomato soup and, ah, tuna on toast.

    Jerry Seinfeld : Okay. This is it, you know. This is the meal, so stock up, buddy boy.

    Kenny : What are you talking about? This isn't a meal.

    Jerry Seinfeld : Yes it is. Soup and sandwich. That is a meal.

    Kenny : You're supposed to buy me dinner in a nice restaurant, like Mendy's.

    Jerry Seinfeld : I tried to do that.

    Kenny : This is lunch in a coffee shop.

    Jerry Seinfeld : Doesn't matter, this is it. This completes the transaction.

    Kenny : Ah, soup and a sandwich for a brand-new Armani suit. Is that any kind of gesture?

  • Jerry Seinfeld : So, you just pretended it didn't bother you?

    George Costanza : What is that, 'boyfriend'? I don't understand that. What, what does she think I asked her out for?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Boy, it's the way they just slip that in there, too.

    George Costanza : Yeah, like it's just part of the conversation. 'Oh, my boyfriend really likes watches. He's a real watch freak.' Well, that's fabulous.

    Jerry Seinfeld : Well, let me ask you this. What exactly did you say when you asked her out?

    George Costanza : I said, 'Would you like to go for a walk or something?'

    Jerry Seinfeld : Oh, a walk, well...

    George Costanza : Or something. I said, 'Or something'!

    Jerry Seinfeld : Or something. Yeah, that's a date.

    George Costanza : [missing the sardonic tone]  There you go!

    Jerry Seinfeld : You know, there is always the possibility that she called an audible.

    George Costanza : What do you mean?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Well, she got up to the line of scrimmage, didn't like the looks of the defense and changed the play.

    George Costanza : I think things were going okay. We were having a nice conversation.

    Jerry Seinfeld : Uh huh.

    George Costanza : I mentioned how I liked horse manure.

    Jerry Seinfeld : You did?

    George Costanza : Yeah.

    Jerry Seinfeld : Yeah. You said you liked horse manure.

    George Costanza : Yeah. You know, about how when you break it down, it's really a very positive thing. You know, you have a 'newer,' with a 'ma' in front of it. MA-NURE. It's not bad.

    Jerry Seinfeld : And it was around this point that she mentioned the boyfriend?

    George Costanza : Yeah. Oh, you think because of what I said about the manure. I was just saying how it takes a negative thing, and puts a positive spin on it.

    Jerry Seinfeld : I'm just saying there's a chance she may not have been enamored with your thoughts and feelings on manure.

    George Costanza : So you don't think she really has a boyfriend?

    Jerry Seinfeld : My honest opinion, I think she made it up.

  • George Costanza : Do you think she thinks I have a beautiful face or is she just saying that?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Well, they do work on tips.

  • [Jerry and George are at Monk's Cafe] 

    Jerry Seinfeld : Oh no, it's Kenny Bania.

    George Costanza : Who's he?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Oh, he's this awful comedian.

  • Kenny : Oh, Jerry, you know what just hit me? I was thinking - What size suit are you?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Ahh, I'm a 40. Why?

    Kenny : I just got a brand new Armani suit - doesn't fit me anymore. You want it?

    Jerry Seinfeld : Well, I don't know if I...

    Kenny : Oh, come on. Why should it just sit in the closet?

    Elaine Benes : An Armani suit?

    George Costanza : Take the suit!

    Jerry Seinfeld : Well... okay, I guess...

  • Kramer : All right, ooh, look at that Armani, huh? Yeah.

    [Jerry takes the jacket off and throws it onto the table] 

    Jerry Seinfeld : Yeah, that's a deal. That's a horrible deal. I don't want to go out to dinner with him. I'd rather make my own suit.

    George Costanza : [entering Jerry's apartment]  I did it! It's all done!

    Jerry Seinfeld : Hey!

    [raises hands into "fists of encouragement"] 

    George Costanza : I did it. Hunh. We're going out as soon as she gets off of work and it'll still be daytime. You know I, I'm much better in the daytime than I am at night. It's less pressure.

    Jerry Seinfeld : I love the day date. No wine, no shower.
