"I could have played with dolls." "Manure is great. There's MAN and NURE."

Please add.

*Nat*

Actually it's "There's a MA and NURE (newer)."

kAThrYN "The Switch? It can't be done."

How about George yelling "A-HAAAAA!!!!" to the woman throwing up in the bathroom. He thought it was his date, a model, whom he suspected of 'refunding.' Hey, how did George get a date with that model anyway?

kAThrYN "It's a perfect plan! So brilliant, so devious...and yet so simple."

THAT's what it meant! These strange American pronunciations...:)

"I'm kind of, um....'engaged'"

-George with Marissa Tomei

It doesn't get any worse than that.

-Simonfeld

How did George get a date with that model? He probably made a bet with her (that he knew he would lose) and he said "loser has to take the other out to dinner".

Are you JOKING?  George is close to "the average guy?"  Help!  I
certainly hope the average guy doesn't:
    Stay in a relationship he was going to end just to prove he can
commit;
    Lie about himself all the time to impress others;
    "Cheat" on an IQ test!!!

I could go on...but you get my point!

I also hope goldigging, call-Jerry-cos-he-can-afford-a-Caddy Elaine isn't your typical single woman either (she's still really cool,tho) :) *Nat

The point is, ALL of the characters are odious. Would you ever hang around with George? Would you ever want to date Elaine? Ugh! That's what makes the show so great!

Hi Here's my favorite poor date line, "I don't mind manure, I don't even mind the word, see you've got the mah, and you just put a nure behind it. It's reallly not that bad." See ya Gordo

I personally liked his theory about the octopuss losing its nose in evolution. "And if you look closely, it still has a notch wear the nose used to be."

Speak for yourself, I would LOVE to date Elaine. She's beautiful! And George would be fun to hang out with. He's funny as hell and he can work wonders for one's self esteem.

I can't believe no one has mentioned this one:

(upon being asked if he would like to come up to his date's apartment for "coffee")

George: Coffee? I don't drink coffee this late. It keeps me up." (or words to that effect)

"Tatianna, I hope you don't take this wrong way, but I think it would be best if I left." (We don't actually see him say this to her-- only explaining it afterwards to Jerry in the Chinese Restaurant episode. He left because he had to relieve a certain "intestinal requirement" and her bathroom was too close to the bedroom to provide a sufficient buffer zone.)

By far, the best break-up scene with George is when he breaks up with Patrice, and he's in the cafe giving her the standard lines "It's me" and "I don't know how to love" until she keeps asking over and over for The Truth:

George: "The truth?? You want The Truth? Ok, it IS the earrings, it IS the chopsticks, but it's so much more. You're pretentious! You call everyone by their first names. You call my doorman, Sammy, Samuel. But you don't even stop there. It's Sam-u-EL. Pappy-eh-machey? What's pappy-ey-machey?"

Then he kind of realizes what he's done and when she prompts him to go on he says "I think I made my point."

It's not the greatest line, but the way he delivers it and goes overboard is fantastic.

No way! George's worst date line was when he was asked to come upstairs for coffee and he said "No thanks, I can't drink coffee late at night, it keeps me up." It was midnight and he could have scored but didn't realize it until afterwards. He drove home saying, "Take it easy, take it easy!"

One of my favorites is where he says: You I really dont mind manure.....its actually not a bad word. Its Ma with a nure at the end of it Mahhhh Nure.....its not bad.

That was pretty bad, I agree. However, this thread says: George's worst lines (plural) on a date. The "coffee" one had been posted earlier, so I simply posted some other examples.
