Elaine: I don't understand - you were wearing the pants you were returning?
Cosmo Kramer: Well, I guess I was.
Elaine: What were you going to wear home?

Cosmo Kramer: Elaine, are you listening? I never even got there.

Bill: [Rabbit is leading them through a field as a short cut to get ahead of Jonas] This is a field, Rabbit.
Rabbit: I know, keep going beyond it, right through that brush. See that brush right in front of you?
Bill: Yeah we see the brush, what's beyond that?
Rabbit: Beyond what?
Jo:

Beyond what? Beyond the brush!
Bill: The brush, a brick wall, a bearded lady, what?
Rabbit: Oh, um... it's the highway, it's the highway.
Jo: [the team seems to be heading into nothing but taller brush] Where's the road, Rabbit?
Allan Sanders: Yeah where's the road man?
Rabbit:

It should be any moment.
Bill: Watch out!

Jason 'Preacher' Rowe: [Sarcastically] Hello! Shit.
