- Mr. Elinoff: Miss Benes, cartoons are like gossamer, and one doesn't dissect gossamer.
- Elaine Benes: Well, you don't have to dissect it if you could just tell me why this is supposed to be funny.
- Mr. Elinoff: Oh, it's merely a commentary on contemporary mores.
- Elaine Benes: But what is the comment?
- Mr. Elinoff: It's a slice of life.
- Elaine Benes: No, it isn't.
- Mr. Elinoff: A pun?
- Elaine Benes: I don't think so.
- Mr. Elinoff: Vorshtein?
- Elaine Benes: That's not a word. You have no idea what this means.
- Mr. Elinoff: No.
- Elaine Benes: Then why did you print it?
- Mr. Elinoff: I like the kitty.
- Elaine Benes: Did you read the comics today?
- Jerry Seinfeld: Well I see Ziggy's back at the complaint department. "The New Yorker's stealing my ideas."
- [laughs]
- Jerry Seinfeld: See, that's funny.
- Elaine Benes: It's better than your drawings of naked Lois Lane.
- Jerry Seinfeld: Where did you see that? Those are private!
- Elaine Benes: She does a full hour about how you're the devil? I gotta go see this thing.
- Jerry Seinfeld: Good luck, it's sold out for the next three weeks.
