Larry David: “It’s amazing how often writers would be talking, and they didn’t know that they had gold.”
Host: “Who came up with yada, yada, yada?”
Jerry Seinfeld: “Peter Mehlman.”
Host: “And one of the greats of all time, ‘master of my domain.’”

“You telling me that man was standing in a McDonald's ordering food with that voice? 'Cause they're like, "Could I please get a number one medium with fries? And I'll also have a McFlurry, please. What do you mean the ice cream machine is broken?" That's not normal.”
