TV Quote of the Day (‘Seinfeld,’ As George Doesn’t Take Well to a Breakup)

[George’s girlfriend Gwen announces she’s breaking up with him. George suspects it’s because she saw him on TV pigging out on a hot-fudge sundae at a tennis game.]

Gwen [played by Linda Kash] [disputing his reasoning]: “It's not you. It's me.”

George Costanza [played by Jason Alexander]: “You're giving me the ‘it's not you, it’s me’ routine? I invented ‘It’s not you, it’s me.’ Nobody tells me it’s them, not me. If it’s anybody, it’s me.”

Gwen [fast tiring of this]: “All right, George, it's you.”

George: “You're damn right it's me!”—Seinfeld, Season 5, Episode 6, "The Lip Reader,” original air date Oct. 28, 1993, teleplay by Carol Leifer, directed by Tom Cherones
