Fans discuss their favorite arguments between Frank and Estelle Costanza, with particular appreciation for their bra material debate and quick-witted exchanges.
I love it when Frank and Estel fight. They're so good at it. My favorite fight is when Estel makes fun of Franks cabana shirts and he responds with a sharp, "You have no eye for fashion" Estel immediately zips back with " I have no eye for fashion?!"
What's your favorite?
It's gotta be the fight over what material bras are made from. Jeremy
During the Bra discussion at the dinner table, after Estelle leaves to get one of her bras, and Frank yells for her to hurry up, "You send me out for a pair of shorts, and BOOM...I'm back like that!"*
*the quote is taken from the memory of a forty year old, so I'm sure it's not verbatem. I believe I've captured the spirit of the quote, if not the letter of it.

Now if I could just remember where I put the Gilko Biloba?
It's not a Frank and Estel fight, but my favorite Frank argument was the whole Cornish Game Hen thing at the dinner table!
"you got a rooster, a chicken and a hen....."

It's gotta be the fight over what material bras are made from.
yeah, i particularly enjoyed that scene...another hilarious one was the "milky white" hands debate.
I just love Frank period..he is always yelling...my favorite yelling scene is when he was looking for Kramer after he "Stopped short" with his wife.
If you look closely at that scene and right after Frank does the hand gesture of "Stop short" you see Elaine "Jiggle" with laughter but a split second later they cut it to a different angle and she is calm as a cucumber!! Kind of a fun fact! Check it out.
OT I know but he is great as the father in King of Queens. He never fails to crack me up.

Remember when Frank was complaining how dry Estel cooks the eggs?
The best thing about those two (in my never humble opinion) is how they can be having a calm, normal conversation, and suddenly, with only the slightest of provocation, be screaming at the top of their lungs.
Zero to sixty in three seconds.

Estelle says, "what am I gonna do with all this paella?" billfd10
I think I'd have to go with any of their "SERENITY NOW!!!" exchanges...!

That one gets my vote too. The fact that Estelle was off screen for several of the exchanges made them even funnier.
"You're not giving away our Water Pik!"
In article ,
The scene where they're having lunch in Monk's with George, and Estel wants to move because she feels a draft.
"I didn't come all the way to Manhattan not to sit in a booth"
Steve
"I didn't come all the way to manhattan to sit in a draft!"
"We're not moving!"
a few seconds later Frank says "Does anyone feel a breeze?"
GREAT!!!! HA HA HA Angie
my favourite is as follows:
when frank sits on "fusilli jerry" and comes back from the proctologists to sit on an air pillow and estelle has just had her "eyes done" and has specifically been instructed not to cry for ten days. george says "ma, don;t cry... you're eyes !" she starts to cry and says "oh !" holding tissues to her face.
not specifically a fight as it were in text but still a costanza moment at its very best !
