• Cosmo Kramer : [has just learned Jerry's girlfriend is Bette Midler's understudy in the Rochelly, Rochelle musical]  Understudys, now they're a shifty bunch. The substitute teachers of the theater world.

  Jerry Seinfeld : I'm glad that she's an understudy. This way I avoid having to go backstage and think of something to say.

  George Costanza : Going backstage is the worst. Especially when they stink, then it's a real problem.

  Jerry Seinfeld : Just once I'd like to tell someone they stink. 'Ya know what? I didn't like the show, I didn't like you, ya just really stunk. The whole thing: really bad. Stinkaroo. Thanks for the tickets though.'

• George Costanza : [Bette Midler is up to bat and George is playing catcher]  I caught that Beaches on cable last night. 'Wind beneath my wings'? Give me a break.

  Bette Midler : Hey, get some talent, then you can mouth off.
