- "We've put this off long enough. Today's the day."
- "What's the worst he can do? So you burn a house down."
- "...that the pen and the paper and the chair play a large role."
- "But they're all somewhat incidental to the actual using of the brain."
- "-Weren't you supposed to call Elaine? -Yes."
- "Every time I call, I gotta chitchat with her assistant for, like, 20 minutes."
- "Every time I call, Sandra bends my ear for, like, 20 minutes."
- "I'm in my apartment. You come in."
- "...could you not talk to them for too long?"
- "-All right, let's get going. -All right, let's go to work."
- "Remember I told you about the pro at the Westchester Country Club..."
- "I can't ask the guy for more cigars after you burned down his cabin."
- "I can't help you. You're gonna have to get them someplace else."
- "You got four hours. What about the script?"
- "Doesn't George look like your sister Sara?"
- "Oh, I have tremendous respect for people who work with feet."
- "I mean, what is the point of opening your mouth and going:"
- "Daddy, there's-- There's something that we have to talk to you about."
- "Of course she knows it was me who complained."
- "Listen, I wanted to tell you there's been a terrible misunderstanding."
- "She thought, I think, "Yeah, it's a real treat talking to her on the phone.""
- "-She wants to have a drink with me. -Just go. Go."
- "...and Dad thought it would be a good idea to get her out into the fresh air."
- "Not, "Take care of your sister." She's a paraplegic."
- "He built a Fortress of Solitude up at the North Pole..."
- "-Burned? -There was a fire, and it--"
- "But, you know, Mr. Ross, if you look at the whole situation..."
- "-That was a weird thing to say. -Why? It didn't mean anything."
- "I mean, people, they're not interested in things like this."
- "I'm looking at the hand thinking, "That hand should not be on my leg.""
- "Yet women have no problem getting the hand off. How do they do that?"
- "-Typical things. -What's typical? Give me typical."
- "Now, bear in mind, I am just trying to keep up."
- "So she's talking about her panties."
- ""You mean, the panties your mother laid out for you.""
- "Look, the main thing is I don't want Elaine to know about any of this."
- "I mean, it's embarrassing. She'd never let me hear the end of it."
- "-What do you got? -I got, you enter, you go, "Hi.""
- "I guess I'm just gonna have to take matters into my own hands, huh?"
- "Where are you going? Don't run off like that."
- "Well, it's a very private matter, but extremely urgent."
- "-Okay, let's get going. -Let's get focused here."
- "I just have to go over to the Rosses' and drop off Susan's sunglasses."
- "In fact, if George and I weren't so busy working, I'd do it myself."
- "Okay, so I'd like to buy a couple of boxes of those from you."
- "Well, illegal, huh?"
- "-Oh, here's your sunglasses. -Oh, thanks. Come on in for a second."
- "Well, you should always consider podiatry."
- "You come in the house, you wipe your wheels."
- "Said it was the only thing left from the remains of the fire."
- "...last night with you was bliss."
- "I don't know how I shall ever get back to work."
- "Yes. Yes, he was the most wonderful person I've ever known."
- "In a way you could never understand."
- "Jerry hates to miss the coming attractions."
- "-All right, what do you got? -I got, you come in, you say, "Hi.""
- "So she blabs to Lippman about my long-distance calls to Europe!"
- "-What calls? -I made a friend when I was in Europe."
- "I was the one that encouraged you to fire her."
- "Yeah, we're heading up to Westchester. Gonna hit the links."
- "She just bought me some new panties, and they're all laid out for me."
- "Eventually, I'm sure people will get too lazy even for phone sex."
