Dang, I have three, but I’ll just give these two, since they’re always a pair: Cedric and Bob, those two guys who stole the armoire that Kramer was guarding for Elaine in the “Soup Nazi” episode, beat up Kramer in the “AIDS walk” episode, and finally appeared at the end of the “Puerto Rican Day” episode to once again menace Kramer. “WHO?! Who does not want to wear the ribbon?!” (everyone’s overlooking a certain woman who had a foundation named after her, a foundation whose meetings George was bound to attend…) ---

Jerry’s girlfriend Sophie, who had some mysterious “tractor incident”. George suggested that she had her thumbs cut off in a tractor accident, so the doctors replaced them with her big toes! ---

**Rachel** , Jerry’s girlfriend in the infamous “shrinkage” episode (and a couple others). Not a quote by her, of course, but. . . George: Do women know about shrinkage? Elaine: What do you mean, like laundry? George: No. Like when a man goes swimming. . . Afterwards. Elaine: It shrinks? Jerry: Like a frightened turtle! Elaine: Why does it shrink? George: It just does. Elaine: I don’t know how you guys walk around with those things. ---

**"Ven I was a little girl in Polland I had a Pony!"** I want to say the character’s name is Manya (?). A great aunt or something of Jerry’s, who dies after Jerry says he hates ponies and everyone that has them. This is one of my favorite and most often used quotes, because I drive a Mustang and always refer to as “my Pony” and always with a Polish accent 🙂 ---
