Jerry Seinfeld : Don't you see? You're just avoiding the middle man. You were gonna give her her spare keys, and she was gonna give 'em to me. So, all that's happening is that instead of giving them to her, you're giving them to me. It's just unfortunate that when she gave you yours, you didn't give her hers. 'Cause then she would have given 'em to me, because she has mine. So then I would have never had to ask you for hers, so that I could get mine.
George Costanza : [dryly, after a long pause] You're right, how did I miss that?

Jerry Seinfeld : [to George] Is he being coy?

George Costanza : Just because you have someone's spare keys, it doesn't entitle you to break into their apartment. That's the reason you took away Kramer's keys.
Jerry Seinfeld : First of all, you're not even supposed to have Elaine's keys. You're supposed to give 'em back to her, so she can give 'em back to me, because she has mine. So technically, those are my keys.
George Costanza : Yes, well, if you had never taken your keys back from Kramer, he never would have taken his back from you and given 'em to me, in which case I wouldn't have had to take mine back from her.
Jerry Seinfeld : Well I want those keys.
George Costanza : Nope. No can do.
[They start to struggle over the keys]

Jerry Seinfeld : Where's Kramer?
Newman : Help!
Elaine Benes : [Elaine enters] What's going on?
Newman : [Newman grabs Elaine and hides behind her] They're gonna beat me up!
George Costanza : No we're not.
Jerry Seinfeld : We're trying to find out what happened to Kramer.
Newman : You wanna know what happened to Kramer? I'll tell you what happened to Kramer. He was ticked off. About the keys. Yeah, that's right - about the keys. Thought he got a bad rap.
Jerry Seinfeld : Bad rap?
Newman : Yeah. From you.
Jerry Seinfeld : Me?
Newman : You heard me. So he packed a grip and he split for the coast. La-La Land. L.A.
Jerry Seinfeld : L.A.?

Jerry Seinfeld : So I fly a lot. I like planes. I was on a plane the other day, and I was wondering, "Are there keys to the plane? Do they need keys to start the plane?" Maybe that's what those delays on the ground are, when you're sitting at the gate. Maybe the pilot's just up there going, "Oh, I don't believe this. Oh, my God. I did it again." They tell you it's something mechanical, because they don't want to come on the PA system... "Ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna be delayed for a little while. Oh, God, this is so embarrassing. I... I left the keys to the plane in my apartment." You see the technicians all running underneath the plane. You think they're servicing it, but they're actually looking for, like, the magnet hide-a-key under the wing. "Maybe he left it up there somewhere."

[first lines]
Jerry Seinfeld : I bought the Ginsu knife. I did buy the Ginsu knife. I know, you can't believe it, but I did, I swear. I saw it. It was late at night, I'm watching the thing, and it started making sense to me. I'm thinking, "Yeah, cut through the shoe, cut through the can. Yeah. Yeah, I want that." So I called up the number on the screen, you know, and I said, "I'd like to order the Ginsu knife," and the lady went, "Really?" I mean, even the Ginsu people have given up. It's really so sad. I guess, to be honest, if you need a knife that can cut through a shoe, perhaps you're not buying the highest grade of meat currently available. Maybe you ought to think about not getting the hoof cut once in a while.
