Jerry’s mother, when his parents were in town and staying at the apartment: Hello…_Newman_.

Kramer: Oh yeah, there’s something in the air.  
Jerry: You know you’re turning into Burt Lancaster?

George: It’s a big hefty stinking faux pas! ( I’ve been using this IRL in certain situations, like earlier this year when we replaced our computer. The old ‘tower’ was a Big Hefty Stinking Tower Of Obsolescence.

George: Would a giant rubber ball work?  
Kramer: Conceivably.  
George: Well Play Now has all kinds of different rubber balls. Why don’t we test your bladder system at my office?  
Jerry: You’re not…  
George: Oh, yes I am. Mr. Thomassoulo likes to play dirty? Well there’s nothing dirtier than a giant ball of oil!  
Hellooooo! I got beaned by a giant ball of oilllll! I’m as slippery as an eellll!
