    That's where he kept his lie, his dirty little secret. Short, devious, balding; his name was Costanza. He killed my mother.

    Kuger...my son told me your company stinks!!

    You couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe....I completely lost my train of thought.

    As I rained blows down upon him I thought there had to be a better way.

    That whole episode.

    "This is Frank Costanza. You think you can keep us out of Florida? We're movin' in lock, stock, and barrel. We're gonna be in the pool, we're gonna be in the clubhouse, we're gonna be allll over that shuffleboard court, and I dare you to keep me out!"

    The way he closes his eyes during the rant just kills me.

    Sidenote: Every Frank Costanza line cracks me up. He's comedy gold, Jerry. Gold!

    I love this so much.
    Particularly

    "Flashy, makin' the scene.."
    and the expression on Jerry's face when he says it.

    My favorite is this:

    Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change
    the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right
    now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees
    and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?
    Doesn't HE deserve better?

    That there is the heart of the whole bit. Here Bookman spells it out plain as day his motivation. Brilliant!

    Another great Bookman scene:

    "I remember when the librarian was a much older woman - kindly, discreet, unattractive.

    We didn't know anything about her private life; we didn't want to know anything about her private life. She didn't have a private life."

    I always thought it looked as if Jerry was struggling to get through these scenes without cracking up. Philip Baker Hall took that role and just ran through a brick wall with it.

    He later shows up on Curb and is great there, too, albeit in a different way.

    Haven't seen it, but he's really a great actor in any genre.
