Mrs. Landis
[played by Gail Strickland]: “Not many people have grace.”
Elaine [played by
Julia Louis-Dreyfus]: “Well, you know, grace is a tough one. I like to
think I have a little grace...not as much as Jackie [Onassis]…”
Mrs. Landis:
“You can't have ‘a little grace.’ You either have grace, or you...don't.”
Elaine: “O.K., fine, I
have...no grace.”
Mrs. Landis:
“And you can't acquire grace.”
Elaine: “Well, I have no
intention of ‘getting’ grace.”
Mrs. Landis:
“Grace isn't something you can pick up at the market.”
Elaine [fed up]: “Alright,
alright, look—I don't have grace, I don't want grace...I don't even say grace,
O.K.?”
Mrs. Landis:
“Thank you for coming in.”
Elaine: “Yeah, yeah,
right.”
Mrs. Landis:
“We'll make our choice in a few days, and we'll let you know.”
Elaine [stands up]:
“I have no chance, do I?
Mrs. Landis:
“No.” [They shake hands.]—Seinfeld, Season 6, Episode 1, “The Chaperone,” original air date Sept. 22, 1994, teleplay by Larry David, Bill
