(Opening monologue) Seems to me the way they design the car alarm is so that the car will behave as if it was a nervous hysterical person. Anyone goes near it, anyone disturbs it, it's aaaaaahhhhhhh! Lights flashing on and off, acting all crazy. Not everybody wants to draw that much attention to themselves, wouldn't it be nice if you could have a car alarm that was a little more subtle? You know, somebody tries to break in, it goes, Ahem. Ahem. Excuse me? I would like a car alarm like that.

Kramer: I said, "I know about the stuff," you know, so he'd take me into his confidence.
Elaine: What did he say?

If you just trust me this one time I don't have any money but I have these... I wrote on these... is this of any value at all?
I'm really running out of excuses with this guy. I need some sort of "excuse Rolodex."

Marlene: I can't be with someone if I don't respect what they do.
Jerry: You're a cashier!
Jerry: How do you get all that wood in here?

Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft.
Jerry: I think Superman probably has a very good sense of humor.
