We're living in a society!

Question

Fans compile instances where characters mention society or civilized behavior, finding references in The Chinese Restaurant, The Dinner Party, and The Little Jerry.

Trying to recall the times when society is mentioned -- this could make a nice list, if there are more than 2 times that I can recall -- anyone think of any others or is this it? :

16 The Chinese Restaurant (as George reaches for the phone, a woman snatches it and starts dialing)

Woman: Well if you were here first, you'd be holding the phone.

George (yelling at her): You know, we're living in a society! We're supposed to act in a civilized way.

=====

145 The Little Jerry

ELAINE: What? Clinging to some scraps?

GEORGE: These are not "scraps." These are historic remains of a once great society of hair.

77 The Dinner Party

GEORGE: So you're telling me instead of being happy to see me, they're going to be upset because I didn't bring anything. You see what I'm saying? JERRY: The fabric of society is very complex, George.

In the ep where Milos offers his wife as some sort of sexual payola... When George asks Jerry for details and Jerry responds that he didn't do it...

George says... "because of society???" "Yes George, because of society..."

I think there is also the ep where George mentions to Susan about how the doors in the cafe's bog should go all the way down to the floor.

Can you elaborate? I'd love to add it to the list, just do not recall that scene (and what the heck is a cafe's bog?).

best, Dan

Which episode was that in? I checked episode 24 The Cafe -- and there is a line about society but I was not sure that is the reference you are talking about?

Is this the one you were talking about? --

24 The Cafe [George and Jerry are standing outside in the street. Across the street there is a restaurant called Dream Cafe. Sign says Grand opening.]

George: She thinks I'm a nice guy. Women always think I'm nice, but women don't like nice.

Jerry: This is amazing, I haven't seen one guy going in to that restaurant since it opened. Poor guy.

George: Why is nice bad? What kind of sick society we are living in, when nice is bad?

Thanks, Dan

Oops, my bad -- obviously it was not episode 24 The Cafe -- because Susan didn't arrive in the series until Episode 43 The Pitch. Okay, so which episode with the "doors in the cafe's bog should go all the way down to the floor" were you talking about then?

best, Dan

it vvas the postponment at least thats vvhat l think he vvas talking about, l checked it out and theres no mention of society that l savv by the vvay hovvs the vveather in Phoenix, l live in Tucson

Kramer is a guinea pig or at least I have a guinea pig that I named Kramer

I just checked the transcript for episode 112 The Postponement and I found the sections where discusses the stall doors -- but the word "society" never comes up in the dialogue -- so I'm don't sure how this is relevant to the "We're living in a society!" list.

As for the weather in Phoenix, it's the same as in Tucson -- of course you knew that. I did run the Tucson Marathon on 12/8/02 in 3:30, so I was pretty happy with my time.
