Most Devastating Line

My pick for most devastating line** delivered on Seinfeld:

George: "You can't break up with me, I've got hand!"

** Noel: "And you're gonna need it."

When George said "I love you" to that girl(I can't remember her name), and she says: " I heard you the first time"

Bob

yes, ouch, that was pretty devastating!

How about when George believes he's "made a pact" with Jerry... George and Susan are engaged and heading towards marriage full-tilt... George asks Jerry how it's going with (what was her name again?)... And Jerry replies, "Well...actually...we kinda broke up."

She eats her peas one at a time!

-B.

WE HAD A PACT!

"My boyfriend loves watch. He's real watch freaks!"

or

"Step off George" and George replies: "Oh Tony! Don't!"

Most of these devastating lines find George on the receiving end...

Wyck: "Susan's doll collection...estimated value, $2.6 million...whattaya say we do this doll by doll, huh?"

-B.

In 'The Sniffing Accountant':

Elaine: "So, I was sitting at the reception desk, I was looking pretty hot. I was wearing my sling back pumps."

George: "What are those?"

Elaine: "Ask your mother, you live with her now, don't you?"

This takes the cake...

-Kramer to Jerry in The Blood

Elaine : Do you know what's going on here? Can't you see what's happened? I've become George.

Jerry : Don't say that.

Elaine : It's true. I'm George! I'm George!

Here's a good one:

ELAINE: (In the door way) Maybe I'll go visit my mother. She just bought me some new panties (Jerry pauses right before sitting in his chair) and they're - all laid out for me. (Leaves, smiling to herself. Jerry and George both look at each other, frozen in their places)

(from The Cheever Letters)

Here's what makes that final line so damn funny:

(In the coffee shop)

JERRY: So we go back to my apartment..

GEORGE: (Expressing shock) Woah. Whoa! Woah!

JERRY: So, we're, uh, foolin' around there.. you know, it's getting a little passionate.. (Scoots closer to George, to prevent others from hearing) and, uh, she starts with the dirty talking.

GEORGE: (Putting his hands up) Alright, alright, hold on! (Jerry has George's full attention) Time out! Woah, woah! (Scooting in, giddy) What did she say?

JERRY: (Modest) Oh, you know, the usual..

GEORGE: No, I don't know. How do I know the usual?

JERRY: Typical things.

GEORGE: (Picking up the ketchup) What typical? Gimme typical. Gimme some typical.

JERRY: She says, uh.. (Mumbles something inaudible. George, so shocked by what he's just heard, accidentally squeezes the ketchup bottle - ketchup squirts out and files off-screen. George reacts deeply)

GEORGE: (Breathing deeply) That's very dirty. (Jerry nods) That's absolutely filthy.

JERRY: ..And then she starts talking about her panties.

GEORGE: (Yelling out to a waitress) Gonna need some water here!

JERRY: So I said something.

GEORGE: Ok, what did you say?

JERRY: (Defensively) Now, bear in mind, I am just trying to keep up.

GEORGE: Of course.

JERRY: Okay? So, she's taking about her panties, so, uh.. So, I said, "You mean the panties your mother laid out for you?"

GEORGE: (Takes a few seconds to mull this one over. Shooting Jerry a confused look, he repeats it) "The panties your mother laid out for you"? (Jerry nods) What does that mean?

JERRY: (Throwing up his hands) I don't know! It just popped out.

GEORGE: Well, how did she react?

JERRY: She flipped out! Just left.

GEORGE: Well, that's not offensive. (Reflects) It's abnormal, but it's not offensive.

JERRY: Look, the main thing is I don't want Elaine to know about any of this. I mean, especially the panty remark. I mean, it's embarrassing. And she's never let me hear the end of it.

-verbila

The end of this episode where Elaine has Jerry writing her a check before telling she'll go to her mother picking up new laid-out panties, that scene still makes me laugh hard and I've seen it a hundred times at least!

It is one of the better finales of all episodes.

Ouch. Mentioned earlier in the thread. Oh well.

Actually, a similar thing happened to Jerry in "Good News, Bad News" when he finds out Laura's engaged...

Laura: "I'm really looking forward to that boat ride!" Jerry: "Me too! That should be real fun."

"There is not voltage in this world to electroshock me back to coherence!"

Said by George, to his mother, when he is trying to convince her that she can not "be out there" even if seperated (from her husband).

"Because I�m out there and there is not voltage in this world to electroshock me back to coherence if you should meet you out there!"

Sorry for the missing words. Should have gone to bed long before.

Even more devasating is the answer to Jerry's next question - "How often did you do this?"

Elaine <thinks for a second>: "All the time." Jerry: "All the time?!" George <to waitress>: "I think I'll have a piece of cake..."

all the selections have been pretty good. I would add the descriptions the gang give each other in The Movie are pretty devastating.

How so? No one but the strangers who worked at the movie theatre ever heard them. They may have been unflattering descriptions, sure...but they certainly didn't "devastate" anybody.

I love how all the devastating lines involve George.
