  • Elaine Benes: The female body is a work of art. The male body is utilitarian. It's for gettin' around. It's like a jeep.
  • George Costanza: I asked if I could borrow a sweater.
  • Jerry Seinfeld: A cashmere sweater.
  • George Costanza: I said, preferably cashmere. For warmth. So in front of the whole party, he says: "No. I don't want you stretching out the neck hole." Oh, yeah, sure, laugh it up. Everybody else did.
  • Elaine Benes: Well, it's funny. I mean, you have a big head. Or is it because of your neck?
  • Jerry Seinfeld: No, I think the head does most of the stretching.
  • George Costanza: Regardless, I had to walk around for the rest of the party... in some cheap MetLife Windbreaker. Now it is payback time.
  • Elaine Benes: I really think it's the size of your neck.
  • George Costanza: It's my head!
  • J. Peterman: Bad news, people. Peggy is home sick.
  • Elaine Benes: Oh, please.
  • J. Peterman: She's stuffed up, achy, and suffering from intense malaise.
  • Elaine Benes: Oh, come on, we all have intense malaise. Right?"
  • J. Peterman: I just spoke with her, Elaine. She's in bed.
  • Elaine Benes: Yeah, let me tell you something: this is all in her mind, okay? She is insane. She thinks I made her sick because I coughed on her doorknob, rubbed her stapler in my armpit, and put her keyboard on my butt. Yeah, she's a wacko.
