Quotes 

• Elaine Benes : I'm not a lesbian! I hate men but I'm not a lesbian!

• Woman With Elaine : I started riding these trains in the '40s. Those days, a man would give up their seat for a woman. Now we're liberated and we have to stand.

  Elaine Benes : It's ironic.

  Woman With Elaine : What's ironic?

  Elaine Benes : This, that we've come all this way, we have made all this progress, but you know we've lost the little things, the niceties.

  Woman With Elaine : No, I mean what does "ironic" mean?

• Elaine Benes : What time is your job interview, George?

  George Costanza : 9:45.

  Jerry : Remember, don't whistle on the elevator.

  George Costanza : Why not?

  Jerry : That's what Willie Loman told Biff before his interview in "Death of a Salesman".

  George Costanza : What, you are comparing me to Biff Loman? Very encouraging. The biggest loser in the history of American literature.

• Kramer : All right, Coney Island. Ok, you can take the B or the F and switch for the N at Broadway Lafayette, or you can go over the bridge to DeKalb and catch the Q to Atlantic Avenue, then switch to the IRT 2, 3, 4 or 5, but don't get on the G. See that's very tempting, but you wind up on Smith and 9th street, then you got to get on the R.

  Elaine Benes : Couldn't he just take the D straight to Coney Island?

  Kramer : Well, yeah...

• Elaine Benes : Why isn't it moving? What could go wrong with a train? It's on tracks! There's no traffic! How could a train get stuck? Step on the gas!
