- Quotes
George Costanza: [George rushes into Jerry's apartment] Did anybody call here asking for Vandelay Industries?
Jerry: No, what happened to you?
George Costanza: All right, listen closely, I was at the unemployment office and I told them I was very close to getting a job with Vandelay Industries, and I gave them your phone number. So now, when the phone rings, you have to answer "Vandelay Industries".
Jerry: I'm Vandelay Industries?
George Costanza: Right.
Jerry: What is that?
George Costanza: You're in latex.
Jerry: What do I do with latex?
George Costanza: I don't know, you manufacture it.
Elaine: [laughing] Right here in this little apartment?
Jerry: And what do I say about you?
George Costanza: You're considering hiring me for your latex salesman.
Jerry: I'm gonna hire you as my latex salesman?
[chuckling]
Jerry: I don't think so. Why would I do that?
George Costanza: [angrily] Because I asked you to.
Jerry: If you think I'm looking for someone to just sit at a desk, pushing papers around, you can forget it. I get enough headaches just trying to manufacture the stuff.

The Boyfriend is an absolute favorite of mine, and a classic Seinfeld episode, as the story in it is one of my favorites!. It was really funny when the cab driver got sick of George's demands and threw him out of the cab, and this is very well written by Larry Levin and directed by Tom Cherones, plus this was the 1st ever episode two have 2 parts in it and be an hour long. The opening segment was hilarious as George claimed Keith wouldn't know he was, but he did after all, and I loved the ending too as George finally got his wish about having sex with a tall woman, plus Keith Hernandez is excellent in this episode and was very funny. Jerry's stand up's were very funny,and I can see why this is one of Jerry's favorite episodes, because it's one of mine too, plus this is one of Seinfeld's most clever episodes in my opinion. Jerry's explanation about the spitting segment was very funny, and This might just be the best episode on Season 3, plus Julia and Keith made a cool couple. The Boyfriend is an absolute favorite of mine, and a classic Seinfeld episode, as the story in it is one of my favorites, and I say go see it immediately if you Haven't Seinfeld fans!. ***** out of 5
