Featuring the first 17 episodes ever aired, The Seinfeld Scriptscontains all the great lines that have kept us laughing for years: the pilot episode, "The Seinfeld Chronicles," where it all began; George introduces his importer/exporter altar ego Art Vanderlay in "The Stakeout"; Kramer becomes obsessed with cantaloupe in "The Ex-Girlfriend"; Jerry and George meet Elaine's dad in "The Jacket"; is Jerry responsible for a poor Polish woman's death when he makes "The Pony Remark"?; Jerry and Elaine decide to become intimate again in "The Deal"; what will George do when he is banned from the executive bathroom in "The Revenge"?; and Jerry, George, and Elaine wait for a table in "The Chinese Restaurant."

It's all here: the award-winning writing of Seinfeld,"the defining sitcom of our age". Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld.

Elaine:My roommate has Lyme disease.

Jerry:Lyme disease? I thought she had Epstein-Barr syndrome?

Elaine:She has this in addition to Epstein-Barr. It's like Epstein-Barr with a twist of Lyme disease.

George:She calls me up at my office she says, "We have to talk."

Jerry:The four worst words in the English language.

Kramer:What a body. Yeeaaah...that's for me.

Jerry:Yeah and you're just what she's looking for, too—a stranger, leering through a pair of binoculars ten floors up.
