Favorite Elaine moments...?

"The Parking Space" - When she tells Jerry about how she and George escaped teenagers that were chasing them in Jerry's car (includes that great "fake shot" of Hennigan's)

"The Pen" - Stelluh! Stelll-uhh!

"The Little Kicks," of course

Can't remember which episode...When she went rabid from a dogbite

"The Scofflaw" - When she throws George's hairpiece out the window

"The Subway" - When we can hear her thoughts while the train is stopped

"The Pez Dispenser" - Her reaction when Jerry puts the Pez dispenser on her leg

"The Opposite" - The expression on her face when she throws Jerry's $20 out the window

-B.

"The Subway" - When we can hear her thoughts while the train is stopped

This one HAS to be the best! :o)

The whole episode where she has to put out the catalog.

Itch a peach. I shaid, itch a peach.

"He's obsessed... obsessed with breassssts!"

-great Elaine moments snipped-

I always liked the scene from "The Abstinence" where a lack of sex makes her stupid and she's just standing in front of a tire shop watching the rotating tire display with rapt attention and childlike glee.

Oh, and the scene from "The Gum" where she loses her top button and the guy on the street spritzes her with the hose.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali!! ;-)

from "The Outing":

"Never even *seen* you? God I gotta envy that!" (to Jerry, upon learning that journalism grad student, Sharon, [Paula Marshall] has "no idea" what Jerry looks like.)

seining off!

The Van Wyck speech

(Elaine enters. She's still wearing her nightclothes under her coat. Her hair is messed up. She's been through quite an ordeal) ELAINE: (Slow, as if remember a dream) I never new I could drive like that. I was going faster than I've ever gone before, and yet, it all seemed to be happening in slow motion. I was seeing three and four moves ahead, weaving in and out of lanes like an Olympic skier on a gold metal run. I knew I was challenging the very laws of physics. At Queens Boulevard, I took the shoulder. At Jewel Avenue, I used the median. I had it. I was there.. and then.. I hit the Van Wyck. They say no one's ever beaten the Van Wyck, but gentlemen, I tell you this - I came as close as anyone ever has. And if it hadn't been for that five-car-pile-up on Rockaway Boulevard, . . . that numbskull would be on a plane for Seattle right now instead of looking for a parking space downstairs.

Something always bugged me about that. It was Jerry's car. She left a virtual unknown, one that she didn't even like, to park Jerry's car by himself.

Jeez, I don't even let my closest friends drive my car and it's worth less than a Saab.

A good Elaine moment is in the contest - taking the money out of her handbag and puting it on the counter.

I have to agree with this one. She was so sheepish when she entered the apartment! With this one scene she is able to destroy any misconceptions that people have about women.

Elaine wanted to get away from that guy as soon as possible so jumping out at Jerry's is consistent with the plot line. And she drove Jerry's car like a maniac anyway, so she has no qualms about not protecting it. So that does make sense to me.

Elaine's actions made sense, Jerry's lack of response to a stranger driving his car, maybe not. Maybe he was engrossed in her story so he didn't say anything.

Dave

When she is eating all that Jujy Fruit and goes: "Bithster Dhipman, you fghot ya hangkexif" and puts Pendant Publishing out of business.

"... and when I see a squirrel, I never hit them or scare them - I always say GET OUT!" (more or less like this)

Yeah, from The Lip Reader:

Elaine: Oh didn't work. He caught me hearing. I know it's terrible, but I'm not a terrible person.

Jerry and Kramer: No.

                   Elaine: No. When I shoo squirrels away, I always say "get
out of here". I never ever throw things at
                   them and try to injure them like other people.

Jerry: That's nice.

                   Elaine: Yeah, and when I see freaks in the street I never,
ever stare at them. Yet, I'm careful not to
                   look away, you know, because I want to make the freaks
feel comfortable.

Jerry: That's nice for the freaks.

Elaine: Yeah, and I don't poof up my hair when I got to a movie so people behind me can see. . . .

The Backwards Episode, when she had a little bit too much to drink.

Her speech in "Van Wyck"" was a classic, but the best part was when she was trying to get the guy dressed and out of the apartment.

You mean the part with the nip?

That's the one. ;-)

Dave (wish I had HDTV)

"Stelllllllaaaaaaaa!"

and

"Fake, fake, fake, fake!"

"Maybe the DINGO ate your BAB-y!"

Whenever she had to do something for Mr. Pitt (like finding the best pair of socksand cannot go out with Jerry to have fun, etc).

"I can't go...."

George also did an "I can't go" when he was stuck at The Foundation.

I love it whenever she says "get OUT!" and shows the immense power in her arms :)

/nico

i like that too. she's a screw up but she's cool. i would like to have her for a friend unless i had a "high talker" or a "long talker" for a boyfriend. I t could be hard on your love life.

... don't you see how everybody likes them and everybody talks about them?

do you have a ketchup secret?

In the Backwards one, G'nite Jugdish, and when she's holding on to Jerry outside the room and she says what if she got her noise pierced. "That'd be pretty freaky" while looking directly at Jerry with a glazed look in her eye. And subsequently when she falls down Jerry going ooooooooooooooooooohpps. That's my favourite Elaine bits, in that scene.

Also:

"Maybe the dingo ate your baby"

when she pushed Kramer thru a door when she found out the Soup Nazi gave her the armoire

Kevin

When she grabs Georges toupee off his head and throws it out Jerry's window - "I don't like this thing, and here's what I'm doing with it!"

Also, when George is doing the Opposite of everything, and he says something to Elaine that she doesn't like. I can't remember exactly what she says, but she was like ice, baby. It goes something like:

Elaine: "Was was that instinct, or the opposite of what you would normally say." George (terrified): "Instinct." Elaine "Stick with the opposite!" and slaps him on the head.

I'm a big fan of Elaine-George interactions. You know that Elaine has never really liked George, and I love it when George admits in one episode that he's scared of Elaine. (Trivia - which episode is that in?)

Cheers all, Chris

The dinner party.

They are opposites, just as Jerry and Kramer are opposites.

Look at the shows where they did role reversals. It became even more obvious then. It was; Jerry <-->Kramer in The Chicken Roaster and Elaine <--> George in The Opposite and The Abstinence

Looking at the dynamic of the characters on a grid:

                              Kramer
                                  '
                                  '
           George ---------------------- Elaine
                                  '
                                  '
                               Jerry

I love it. It's like a personality type map like my old sociology textbooks used to have.

What personality type are you?

Oh, I'm a George-Kramer. You?

I'm a Jerry-Elaine.

that would be "The dinner party." They want to take something to the party.

Some more personal favorites...

"The Engagement" - When she begs Jerry to tell her about George's engagement to Susan

"The Wife" - When we can hear her thoughts at the gym ("I look fantastic in this leotard.")

"The Contest" - When she hangs off the counter at the gym when the woman is telling her about JFK Jr.

"The Alternate Side" - When she's taking care of her older boyfriend who's had a stroke, and feeds him Yankee Bean soup

"The Masseuse" - "Remmie." (One of her suggestions for Rifkin's name change).

"The Wallet Part 1" - The way she pronounces the word "sexually" when speaking with her psychiatrist boyfriend

-B.

Note - Elaine went rabid in "The Glasses."

The look of satisfaction on her face when she says "Maybe the dingo ate your baby". "Brian Dickson" wrote in message news:[email]...

The episode "The Wink," where she sleeps head-to-toe with that guy and keeps him up all night with her feet in his face. Imagine how the foot-fetishists must have loved that one.

1. When she blew keith hernandez off for smoking. 2. When the guy took "IT" out. 3. when kramer took the picture of her and her nipple was showing. 4. When she said the woman passing by said she looked like demi moore and jerry asked her how fast the woman was walking. 5. when kramer saw her naked. 6. when the dr. said she was breathtaking and then said the same thing about the ugly baby 7. when she danced. ( There are no words for that moment.) .I'm new to this room but i'm so glad i found it because i think I might be the neurotic four's "#1 fan."

Kramer: I know. We set up a sting. Like ABSCAM. Like ABSCAM, Jerry. Elaine: Oh, what are you gonna do...you're gonna put on phony beards, and dress up like Arab sheiks, and sit around in some hotel room? I mean, come on.

-B.

The best and probably earliest example of Ms. L-D's comedic ability begins and ends with the hysterical scene in the episode ("The Busboy"?) where she has to rouse that bearded guy who's overslept out of bed and get him packed and on a plane so she can be rid him from her apartment. Absolutely hilarious. ("Shoes? Shoes weren't invented until the fourth century!" Etc.)

One of my fave Elaine moments! :) (paraphrased)

George: "How come I didn't get a Christmas card, I thought we were friends"

Elaine: "You want a Christmas card? You want a Christmas card? Here! (shoves George's head into her chest) There's your Christmas card!"
