• Jerry Seinfeld : It's easier for a woman not to do it than a man, we have to do it, it's part of our lifestyle. It's like shaving.

  Elaine Benes : Oh, that is such baloney! I shave my legs.

  Cosmo Kramer : [while eating]  Not everyday.

• Jerry Seinfeld : But... are you still Master of your domain?

  Elaine Benes : I'm queen of the castle.

• [after Kramer is out] 

  Elaine Benes : And then there were three.

• Elaine Benes : [Realizes Jerry and George aren't paying attention]  So then, I got a call this morning. You know, I was, uh, chosen to go on the space shuttle. We're goin' to Mars.

  Jerry Seinfeld : [Still staring at the woman]  Uh-huh.

  George Costanza : Have a good time.

• Elaine Benes : So then, listen, listen. So then, I showered and I dressed, and I saw him again, on the way out.

  [Giddy and nearly out of breath] 

  Elaine Benes : So we're walkin' and talkin', and he asked me my name - and I think I said Elaine - but, I mean, who the hell knows... And so then, he says to me: "Do you wanna split a cab uptown?"

• Elaine Benes : What are you looking at?

  Jerry Seinfeld : There's a naked woman across the street.

  Joyce : I can get you a spot right behind him. He has got a great butt!
