The Obscure Seinfeld Line That Jerry Seinfeld Constantly Quotes In Real Life – Looper

Plenty of “Seinfeld” fans have their own famous quotes from the series, and Jerry Seinfeld is no different. For him, this line comes in the scene when George is in his interview, which takes place at a restaurant. At this point, the meeting is going flawlessly, as the three businessmen appear to want him for the job. However, like most aspects of George’s life, the situation takes an unfortunate turn. A piece of pie is dropped on the center of the table, compliments of the chef, who has made it just for George. The businessmen dive in with their forks. However, this is when it’s revealed that the clothing store suit-buying rival also happens to be the chef.

George, clearly not wanting to eat whatever his rival served him, refuses to take a bite, denying the requests from the businessman to do so. Apparently needing this moment to lock in their job-hiring decision, the lead businessman says to George, “If you’re one of us, you’ll take a bite.”

Jerry Seinfeld uses this line at home: “I find myself saying that to my kids a lot.” Well, that makes sense, especially when trekking through everyday parental situations. “A lot of times kids won’t want to try certain foods, and so I’ll use that line,” he explained. Of course, for fans facing the exact opposite parenting situation at home, “No soup for you!” can replace that quote as needed.
