Hey, is it my imagination, or do really good looking women walk a lot faster than everybody else? (George Costanza)

Breaking up is like knocking over a coke machine

Jerry : Elaine, breaking up is like knocking over a coke machine. You can't do it in one push, you got to rock it back and forth a few times, and then it goes over. George : That's beautiful.

Hey George, the ocean called; they're running out of shrimp (Reilly to George)

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.

If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right (Jerry, to George)

Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable. I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but I was perceptive. I always know when someone’s uncomfortable at a party. It all became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I’ve ever made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat… It’s often wrong. (George Costanza in ' The Opposite ')

George: That's Vandelay Industries, the address is 186 West 81st Street (Jerry's Apartment)

Vandelay, say Vandelay!!
