Get me my BLUE WINDBREAKER!
"After he heckled Toby, she got so upset she ran out of the building and a street sweeper ran over her foot and severed her pinky-toe."
"That's unbelievable!"
"Yeah, then after the ambulance left, I found the toe. So, I put it in a Cracker Jack box, filled it with ice and took off for the hospital."
"You ran?"
"No, I jumped on the bus. I told the driver, 'I got a toe here buddy. Step on it!'"
"Holy cow!"
"Yeah yeah, then all of a sudden this guy pulls out a gun. Well, I knew any delay's gonna cost her her pinky-toe, so I got out of the seat and I started walking towards him. He says, 'Where do you think you're going, Cracker Jack?' I says, 'Well, I got a little prize for you, buddy.' Pwaa! Pwaa! Keeyah! Knocked him out cold!"
"How could you do that?"
"Yeah, then everybody is screaming because the driver, he's passed out because of all the commotion. The bus is out of control! So I grab him by the collar, I take him out of the seat, I get behind the wheel... Now I'm driving the bus!"
"You're Batman."
"Yeah, I am Batman. Then the mugger, he comes to and he starts choking me. So, I'm fighting him off with one hand and I kept driving the bus with the other. Then I managed to open up the door and I kicked him out the door with my foot at the next stop."
"You kept making all the stops?"
"Well, people kept ringing the bell!"
"What about the toe? What happened to the toe?"
"Well, I am happy to say that the little guy is back in place at the end of the line."
"You did all this for a pinky-toe?"
"Well, it's a valuable appendage."

The you're batman line always loving kills me. Such an amazing scene.

Who's the guy in the Victorian diving apparatus?
That scene is one of my favourites, particularly for the batman line, and for Kramer's exaggerated mime of driving a bus, exclaiming "now I'm driving the bus"

Based on Jerry's reaction, I'm convinced he ad-libbed the second half of that. I also think "It's like a sauna in here" might've been ad-libbed as well.

The fat bastard line was ad-libbed and it was a huge turning point for the show. People laughed at the line and Seinfeld and friends realized that they could be total jerks and people would still enjoy the show.

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

My favorite quote of the series isn't a single line, unfortunately. But I've said it before and I'll say it again!

"Mail on Sunday?"
"Oops!"

I wish I could have Jerry's attitude while he's delivering the mail for everything I do in my life.

I think mine is "And you want to be my latex salesman."

edit: Although "Sex... to SAVE the friendship." might be a very close second.

edit2: oh god there are too many: "My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents."

Just wanna say to anyone who loves Seinfeld to a silly level, the DVDs have the great 'Notes About Nothing' features for every episode (basically subtitles of trivia throughout the whole episode, popup video style). My gf and I always turn NAN on when we watch the DVDs now and it really tells you a lot of interesting stuff, especially if you're a Curb fan also.

Makes watching old episodes all the more interesting. Can't recommend them enough and wish more movies/DVDs had something like that. They're very well done.

Welcome to Earth.

"Too many people go their mail! Close to 80%. No body from the post office has ever cracked the 50% barrier! It's like the 3-minute mile!"

One of my top five lines from one of my top five episodes. Infact, that entire exchange is one of my favorites, from The Andria Doria

quote:

JERRY: Hey, I've been trying to jam stuff in the box, like you told me, but sometimes it says, like, "Photographs - Do not bend".

NEWMAN: "Do not bend". (Laughs evilly) Just crease, crumple, cram.. you'll do fine. (Phone rings. Newman answers it) Hello?.. This is he. I don't understand.. very well. (Hangs up in disappointment)

JERRY: What?

NEWMAN: That was the Vice President of the post office. I didn't get the transfer.. They knew it wasn't me doing my route!

JERRY: How did they know?!

NEWMAN: (Stands up) Too many people go their mail! Close to 80%. No body from the post office has ever cracked the 50% barrier! It's like the 3-minute mile!

JERRY: (Pleading) I tried my best!

NEWMAN: Exactly. You're a disgrace to the uniform. (Newman takes off Jerry's mailman hat. Jerry turns his head in shame. Newman then tears the post office badge from Jerry's coat)

JERRY: You know, this is your coat.

NEWMAN: (Realizing) drat!

Same here, I love it so much.


I think my least favourite line(or line delivery) is in "The Truth" when Jerry says "I would have killed this man. Torn him limb from limb, ripped the flesh right off his bones..."

It just always irks me.

I've decided that The Diplomat's Club is probably my favorite episode of season 6. The way the pilot being in the audience inexplicably throws Jerry's performance, which ultimately leads to him being kicked off the plane, and the way that whole plot ties in with Elaine being suspected of poisoning Mr.Pitt is amazing. Plus the "george proving he isn't racist to Mr.Morgan" plot which is gold. Jerry's booking agent woman (aka Kitty) is the best though:

"We lost the road about half an hour ago"

"Why didn't you wake me up???"

"You told me not to bother you with minor details.."

"No road" is a MAJOR detail!!"

"Ok now I know. Should I keep going or turn around, do you have a preference?"

"LOOK OUT!!!"

Wet a paperclip and stick it in the socket outside of your friend's apartment.

TBS and my local Fox affilate show Seinfeld at 7:30. I had to choose between The Big Salad and The Merv Griffin Show. Life is hard.

I eventually chose The Big Salad since I've seen that one less.
