George: No, no, no. Just lately, I've been thinking a lot clearer. Like this afternoon, (To television) what is chicken Kiev, (Back to Jerry) I really enjoyed watching a documentary with Louise. Jerry: Louise! That's what's doin' it. You're no longer pre-occupied with sex, so your mind is able to focus. George: You think? Jerry: Yeah. I mean, let's say this is your brain. (Holds lettuce head) Okay, from what I know about you, your brain consists of two parts: the intellect, represented here (Pulls off tiny piece of lettuce), and the part obsessed with sex. (Shows large piece) Now granted, you have extracted an astonishing amount from this little scrap. But with no-sex-Louise, this previously useless lump, is now functioning for the first time in its existence. (Eats tiny piece of lettuce)
later, with Elaine
Elaine: I don't know. It's just the last coupla days my mind has been, not good. Jerry: Wait a second, I know what's happening. The no sex thing is having a reverse effect on you. Elaine: What? What are you talking about? Jerry: To a woman, sex is like the garbage man. You just take for granted the fact that any time you put some trash out on the street, a guy in a jumpsuit's gonna come along and pick it up. But now, it's like a garbage strike. The bags are piling up in your head. The sidewalk is blocked. Nothing's getting through. You're stupid. Elaine: I don't understand. Jerry: Exactly.
Yesterday the Yankees clinched, and right now one of the all-time great Seinfeld episodes is on, The Abstinence, which features George with Bernie Williams and a baby-faced Derek Jeter from 1996. Awesome.
