  Jerry Seinfeld : Whenever I see the news, and they're hauling in some criminal terrorist psycho maniac mass murderer guy, you notice he's always covering up his face with the newspaper, with the jacket, with the hat? What is he worried about? I mean, what is this man's reputation that he has to worry about this kind of exposure damaging his good name? I mean, what is he, up for a big job promotion down at the office or something? Afraid the boss will catch this on TV and go, "Isn't that Johnson from Sales? He's up in that clock tower picking people off one by one. I don't know if that's the kind of man we want heading up that new branch office. He should be in Bill Collection. I think he's got aptitude."

  Jerry Seinfeld : People like the idea of revenge. Have you ever heard the expression, "The best revenge is living well"? I've said this. In other words, it means, supposedly, the best way to get back at someone is just by being happy and successful in your own life. Sounds nice. Doesn't really work on that Charles Bronson kind of life. You know what I mean? Those movies where his whole family just gets wiped out by some street scum. You know, maybe you could go up to him, "Charlie, forget the .357. What you need is a custom-made suit and a convertible. New carpeting, French doors, a divan. That'll show those punks."
