• Elaine : [Elaine undresses]  Give it a whirl, Abe.

  George : Well, I like, I want to, I want to...

  Elaine : You want to say something to me?

  George : Yes, I do and I want to be completely honest and get this off your chest. I mean, get this off your breast. I mean, my breast. Get this, off my chest.

  Elaine : Give it a try.

• George : Eddie, lemmie kiss Elaine goodbye...

  Eddie Dash : [whispering]  Nah, shhhh! You'll wake her up!

  George : [whispering]  just one kiss, I won't wake her up.

  [Bends down, kisses Elaine's forehead. Elaine slightly stirs, then goes back to sleep] 

  George : . Oh, look at her, isn't she cute?

  Eddie Dash : Shhh! come on let's go!

  [hands George something] 

  George : What is this?

  Eddie Dash : Shhhh! This is your gun!

  [hands George a large two-barreled shotgun] 

  George : Oh, I could never shoot a gu... yipe!

  [George drops the shotgun which discharges, destroying a large vase] 

  Elaine : Gasp!

  [Elaine, thinking she is under attack, rolls to the other side of the bed and onto the floor] 

  Elaine : HOLY SHIT!

  [Elaine's head slowly appears at the side of the bed, nervously whispers] 

  Elaine : George? What happened, are you all right?

  George : [whispers]  Sorry, honey!

  Eddie Dash : [gritting his teeth]  Fuckin' lunatic!

• Rupert Dibbs : [Elaine sits in Rupert's office, crying]  Stop it. Please, will you stop it? I didn't say you didn't have some... limited acting ability.

  Elaine : Limited acting ability? Listen bub, these are *real* tears here!

  Rupert Dibbs : Regardless of your acting ability, he still left!

  Elaine : Listen, you can't take some guy off the street and convince him to be Abe Fielding. I'm very technical...

  Rupert Dibbs : [slams his hand down on the desk]  That was not the job!

  [Elaine gives Rupert an icy stare of contentment] 

  Rupert Dibbs : [Rupert takes a calmer tone]  You're job was to entice them, hmm? To make them *want* to be Abe Fielding. But you've got these guys running away from you like the plague.

  Elaine : I will not be handled! I told you that when I took the job, and it still goes, and if that's not the job... I don't want the position anyway!

  Rupert Dibbs : OK, that's fine, that's fine Miss Mimi Kravitz! Professional actress!

  Elaine : You know, you got a real effort for the jugular here...

  Rupert Dibbs : I like the last one. A liar, a liar is perfect.

  Elaine : No! Come on, that guy was kind of soft on me...

  Rupert Dibbs : And why shouldn't he? You're a very beautiful woman.

  Elaine : Thank you. But he'll never come back without his friend.

  Rupert Dibbs : Don't worry about his friend. He's not going anywhere. His ass is mine for bail money.

  Elaine : What happened?

  Rupert Dibbs : I caught the schmuck stealing Abe's credit cards! He won't be a problem. Drink?

  Elaine : Yeah, sure.

• Elaine : What on earth have you got in that foolish-looking little bag?

  George : My raincoat and rubbers.

• George : [Elaine undresses]  I have to, I have to...

  Elaine : What?

  George : I have to, I have to...

  Elaine : What?

  George : I have to, I have to...

  Elaine : What!

  George : I'm honor breast to tell you the titty whoth.

  Elaine : Angela didn't forewarn you about her implants, did she?

  George : Honest truth.

  Elaine : Did you find out in bed? Or, did they rattle when you danced?

• George : I want to know everything about you and I'd like you to know all about me, too. Because we might just find out that we have a heck of a lot in common.

  Elaine : What? What? What could we have in common?

  George : Basil! I love basil. You like basil, Elaine?

  Elaine : It doesn't sweep me off my feet.

  George : Alright, try this, my favorite color is brown, I subscribe to the Reader's Digest, I love yodeling, and my favorite food is wiener schnitzel mit rotkraut and kartoffel. You like wiener schnitzel mit rotkraut and kartoffel? You do! I-I-I hit a bone. I hit a nerve. I hit something. I can see it in your eyes. You like it too. I'm going to win you over, Elaine. You'll see. I'm going to romance you and I'll wine you and I'll dine you and one day you're going to feel about me, the way I feel about you.

• George : Geez, I still can't get this guy to take a drink! By the way, Rupert, this is my best friend, Eddie.

  Rupert Dibbs : Elaine!

  Eddie Dash : No, Eddie.

  Elaine : Rupert! What are you doing here?

  Rupert Dibbs : Well, I had actually come to see you, but now that Abe is back, I actually need him to sign a few papers.

  George : OK!

  Rupert Dibbs : All right. Abe, if you would just...

  George : You want my Abe Fielding on that?

  Rupert Dibbs : Yes.

  George : OK!

  Rupert Dibbs : Sign here... and here.
