But then I said to him, 'Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called, and they're running outta you.'*
* George Costanza has a conflict with one of his coworkers at the New York Yankees named Reilly. When Reilly notices George stuffing himself with shrimp cocktail at a meeting, he remarks: "Hey George, the ocean called; they're running out of shrimp." Slow-witted George cannot think of a comeback until later, while driving to the tennis club to meet Jerry. His comeback is: "Well, the Jerk Store called, and they're running out of you." George becomes obsessed with recreating the encounter so that he can make use of his comeback.
