The House That Jerry Seinfeld Built
When Larry's demanding neighbors Dean and Phyliss Weinstock visit, Phyliss says "I'm finally in the house that Jerry Seinfeld built!" Larry adds: "With his own hands, like Jimmy Carter."

Chocolate-Cho-Cho
Phyliss asks about a color used in Larry's house: "Is that swiss chocolate or vanilla bean?" "I think it's chocolate cho-cho," Larry answers.

The Cut-Off Time
The hour after which you can no longer phone somebody. Different people have different cut-off times. (Usually 10pm, with--as we learn in a later episode--a dispensation of an hour for good news.)

Little Brown Pad
The notebook that Larry carries around to write his ideas in.

Right in the Wheelhouse
What Larry says to Cheryl when she tells him it's too late to call Julia Louis-Dreyfus. He says it's ten minutes to cut-off time, so he's "right in the wheelhouse."

Sherlock
What Larry calls his neighbor when he wants a reward for finding Larry's little brown notebook: "I'll get a check, Sherlock."

I'm completely non-plussed...
After Jeff tells Larry about his disastrous sponsorship of an inner-city kid, Larry says "I'm completely non-plussed. Is that the right word?"

Not a good maniac: 'pyro'
Larry opines that Jeff would have been better off had his sponsored inner-city kid been a kleptomaniac. (Which he later turns out to be!)

Cost of Jeff's Sponsorship of an Inner-City Kid
Burned-down canteen and cabin at summer camp. Bad legal advice from Dean Weinstock. Stolen: TV, DVD player, Susie Green's wedding video and her Russian grandmother's priceless broche, Jeff's baseball card collection.

The 'Nice Business'
Larry once yelled "Watch out" to a lady about to get hit by a car and she yelled back "Don't you tell me what to do!", so he got out of the nice business.

Answering machines
Trouble arises when visitors overhear messages on Larry's answering machine in 1st season, episodes 5 and 6.

300 Pillows
Larry complains to Cheryl: "Why does there have to be 300 pillows on the bed?"

513
House number of Larry's neighbors Dean and Phyliss Weinstock.

Mittens
Name of Phyliss Weinstock's cat, killed when its tail was caught by a lawnmower blade.

Larry on Jerry Seinfeld
When Phyliss rudely insists upon taping Larry and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss with her camcorder, Larry offers this answer to her question about what Jerry is really like: "He's a eunuch. His testicles were cut off when he was 13 because he was in the Beth Shalom choir.

An Encounter, Not a Meeting
How Dean Weinstock characterizes his eagerly awaited introduction to Julia Louis-Dreyfuss.
