Also the time he refuses to leave 2 tips (one for the waiter, the other for the head waiter or "Captain") which is actually pretty reasonable but of course backfires HORRIBLY and he tries desperately to put all the blame on the waiter for pocketing the entire tip and not splitting it.

I always found that Curb had a really good split between "I 100% agree with Larry, but wouldn't care this much" and "who even gives a poo poo about that."

Something about how angry George gets about Kramer's assumption that the pigman would be able to facilitate a ride.

GEORGE: Okay. The administrator's on the third floor. I'll meet you guys by the car.

KRAMER: You got room for the pig-man?

GEORGE: The pig-man can take the bus.

KRAMER: You know, if pig-man had a car, he'd give you a ride.

GEORGE: How do you know? What if Pigman had a two-seater?

KRAMER: Come on George, be realistic.

There is an interview with Larry on one of the Seinfeld discs where he states that when writing he deliberately makes both sides of an argument on an issue of social etiquette seem right in their own way. The best example of this is the episode where George is fighting with Jerry's phoney friend over the parking space. George was in the right.

God I love how frustrated that George is over being perceived as a racist, and talks up how he just needs to be seen with one of his black friends, at which point Jerry points out that he doesn't have any black friends.

Then he shows up at the house of that poor bastard he stalked when trying to watch Breakfast at Tiffanys....

That's bizarre, Billy Bob Thornton was superb in the role and I can't really see anyone else getting the same mixture of pathos and sleaziness, but it would have been really interesting seeing Larry in the part.

Last episode (well, part one) is playing now. Am I the only one that doesn't really care for it? I remember seeing it when it first aired. George is way too much a dick in it, like uncharacteristically. Elaine makes a fat joke at George's expense earlier in the episode, yet he's completely cool with the joke about the fat carjacked guy. Then the officer says if reasonable to help when the carjacker had a gun, which seems to be a legitimate reason not to help.

I know I'm reading way too much into it, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

Jackie Chiles makes this point in the trial until they show the video where not only did they not help, but they stood on the sidelines and callously made fun. It wasn't their inaction, but their callous indifference that got them put away.

That's what she says. I say, listen. It was an old cat. It died of natural causes. So get this, now she tells me that I gotta buy her a brand new cat. I say listen, honey. First of all, it was a pretty old cat. I'm not gonna buy you a brand new cat to replace an old dying cat. And second of all, I go out to the garbage, I find you a new cat in fifteen seconds. I say, you show me an autopsy report that says this cat died of starvation, I spring for a new cat. So she says something to me, like, uh, I dunno, get the hell out of here, and she breaks up with me.

Now don't you think that would be a great case on L.A. Law?

When George decided to eat the cream cake that was in the garbage I could really see his point and despite everything it's probably something I would do aswell.

"What the hell, I'll just eat some trash." is one of my favorite quotes ever. I can't even think of it without giggling.

I missed it on Sony Entertainment Television today at 17:30 so now that I've arrived home I'm staying awake until 3:30 in the morning, because it's when they repeat today's episode. I wouldn't do this for any other series.

ELAINE: I guess I'll just--

PETERMAN: Oh, no Elaine, stay. Lubeck here is the world's foremost appraiser of vintage pastry.

Lubeck inspects the cake.

PETERMAN: All right, Lubeck. How much is she worth?

LUBECK: I'd say about 219.

PETERMAN: Ha ha ha ha ha!$219,000! Lubeck, you glorious titwillow. You just made me a profit of $190,000.

LUBECK: No, $2.19. It's an Entenmann's.

PETERMAN: Do they have a castle at Windsor?

LUBECK: No. They have a display case at the end of the aisle.
