Seinfeld "Sufferings"

Newch91

I'm reading this book about NBC's golden era and read in it that Larry David actually wrote a script called "Prognosis Negative" before "Seinfeld." Funny to see how he wrote that title into the show.

fruit's a gamble.

Death Blow: When someone tries to blow you up, not because of who you are, but for different reasons altogether.

"The Pick" has so many classic one liners:

"My little man's an idiot!"

"If we pick do we not bleed?"

"His Buttocks are sublime"

"I did not bare myself deliberately but I wish now that I had because it is not me that has been exposed but you...for I have seen the nipple on your soul!"

"She comes out of the bathroom and I'm in up to my wrist"

I have to add this one:

"What? So what? It's a nipple. A little round circular protuberance. What's the big deal? See everybody's got them. See I got them."

Is most everyone on the same Seinfeld schedule? Because we had The Pick here too in LA.

"Stop calling me Nip!"

From "The Cheever Letters." The part where George is talking about having respect for people who work with feet is typical Larry.


[Setting: The Ross' house]

(Susan, her parents, and George are all dining)

MRS. ROSS: (To Mr. Ross) Doesn't George look like your sister, Sarah?

MR. ROSS: (Gruff) A slight resemblance.

(George laughs slightly)

MRS. ROSS: (To George) Her son's a podiatrist, you know.

GEORGE: Ohh, I have tremendous respect for people who work with feet. I mean, to dedicate yourself to the foot - you're toiling in virtual anonymity. I mean..

(Seeing the Ross' expression, he trails off)

MR. ROSS: How are you enjoying those cigars I gave you?

GEORGE: Oh, uh, the cigars.. (Chuckles nervously) I'm, uh, suckin' 'em down. I'm puffing my brains out, yeah.

MR. ROSS: You know those cigars are made special for Castro?

GEORGE: (Impersonating Carson) I didn't not know that. Weird. Wild. (Susan and George both laugh)

MR. ROSS: What?

SUSAN: (Explaining) He's doing Johnny Carson, daddy.

MR. ROSS: I didn't care much for his jokes.

SUSAN: (To George) Daddy never laughs.

GEORGE: Oh, well, so what? Laughter - what is that? I mean, what is the point of opening your mouth and going "Ha, ha!"? What is that? "Ha, ha!"?

MR. ROSS: You know, you can't get those cigars anywhere.

MRS. ROSS: You and your cigars..

MR. ROSS: (Shooting back at his wife) Wear some more lipstick.

SUSAN: Daddy, there's, um, there's something that we have to talk to you about..

MR. ROSS: Oh, I forgot to ask you - how'd you like the cabin?

GEORGE: (Even more nervous than before) Oh, the, uh, the cabin.. well, (Clears throat)

(Scene ends)

Elaine: Yes, I think I am better than the mollusk!

That is my favorite Elaine moment. Always kills me when she yells "I don't like this thing!"

Couple favorite pieces of dialogue from "The Gymnast":

[Jerry's apartment]

JERRY: I cannot believe Lindsay's still seeing you after that "Breakfast at Tiffany's" thing.

GEORGE: I think she finds my stupidity charming.

JERRY: As we all do.

GEORGE: Yeah, anyway, she's uh, having some kind of a family lunch, I'll swing by after.

JERRY: Oh, so you're gonna meet the mother?

GEORGE: Yeah, I'll zip in, "How do you do?", zip out. She'll love me.

JERRY: You're good with the mothers.

GEORGE: Y'know, I'm better with the mothers than I am with the daughters.

JERRY: Maybe you should date the mothers.

GEORGE: Well, if I could talk to the mothers and have sex with the daughters, then I'd really have something goin'.

---

One of the best pieces of dialogue from the entire series. Same episode.

[Monk's Diner]

JERRY: So lemme get this straight: you find yourself in the kitchen. You see an clair, in the receptacle. And you think to yourself, "What the hell, I'll just eat some trash."

GEORGE: No, no. No, no, no. It was not trash!

JERRY: Was it in the trash?

GEORGE: Yes.

JERRY: Then it was trash.

GEORGE: It wasn't down in, it was sort of on top.

JERRY: But it was in the cylinder!

GEORGE: Above the rim.

JERRY: Adjacent to refuse, is refuse.

GEORGE: It was on a magazine! And it still had the doily on.

JERRY: Was it eaten?

GEORGE: One little bite.

JERRY: Well, that's garbage.

GEORGE: But I know who took the bite. It was her aunt!

JERRY: Well, you, my friend, have crossed the line that divides Man and Bum. You are now a Bum.

Jerry: What's all this stuff?

Sid: Trash. Garbage.

Jerry: You're throwin' this out??

Sid: I believe that's what you do with garbage, you idiot.

Jerry: You don't want any of this?

Sid: Well if I wanted it I wouldn't be throwing it away, Einstein.
