Quotes
*George: ["to one of the women he interviews to be his secretary"] You're luscious. You're ravishing. I would give up red meat just to get a glimpse of you in a bra... I'm terribly sorry.
---
*George: I am telling you Jerry, having a secretary is incredible! I don't know why I didn't have one before!
Jerry: Because you didn't have a job?
George: Perhaps.---
*Bania: ["to Kramer, who is about to enter the dressing room"] Hey, that's the women's dressing room.
Kramer: There's nothing in there that I haven't seen before.---
*George: ["after Ada announces that Steinbrenner has given her a $25,000-a-year raise, increasing her salary to more than George's"] A secretary cannot make more than her boss.
Ada: Well, apparently they can.---
*George: Mr. Steinbrenner, how can I be expected to perform my job properly knowing that my subordinate is making more money than I am? With all due respect sir, it's out of whack.
