The series is loosely based on David's life as a semi-retired multi-millionaire in the world after Seinfeld.

The Larry David Sandwich [5.1]

 * [after Ted Danson and Larry decide to switch their sandwiches]

 * Ted: White fish?
 * Larry: White fish and sable. Uhm..
 * Ted: What is sable?
 * Larry: It's a fish.
 * Jeff: It's a fish like a white fish. Smoked fish.
 * Ted: You have two fishes in the sandwich?
 * Larry: But they blend very well together. They're like Siamese twins, white fish and sable.
 * Ted: What else is in it? No condiments?
 * Jeff: Cream cheese.
 * Larry: There's some cream cheese..it's..
 * Jeff: Capers.
 * [Larry gives Jeff a look]
 * Larry: There may be some capers but I'm not sure. You can always brush them off, it's not a big deal.
 * Jeff: Onions.
 * [Larry gives Jeff another look]
 * Ted: That sounds awful.
 * Larry: What are you talking about?
 * Ted: My sandwich is turkey, cole slaw, russian dressing. It's a classic. People come in and they order a "Ted Danson".
 * Larry: Yeah but you're not there. You don't go in there.
 * Ted: Yeah but people are used to my sandwich. All of a sudden they show up there and they're eating the "Ted Danson" sandwich, you know, all of a sudden has herring and lox..

 * Wanda: Larry, you train the dog to hate black people?
 * Larry: No, I didn't train it to hate black people.
 * Wanda: Has it barked at any white people?
 * Cheryl: ...No, he's...he's...
 * Larry: So he hasn't barked at any white people.
 * Wanda: Exactly. Your dog is racist.
 * Larry: Sheriff's racist?
 * Wanda: "Sheriff"? That's a perfect name for a racist dog. Where'd you get this dog: the Klan meeting or something?
 * Cheryl: Larry picked him out at the pound.
 * Larry: The pound.
 * Wanda: Sheriff, the fuckin' dog that eats black people. What the fuck, man? I'll tell you what, y'all stay here, pet your crazy-ass racist dog, but I am not bringing my black ass back up into this fucking "hotel" until y'all get rid of that fucking Klan dog. Gotta Klan dog! Lookin' at me like I'm a damn T-bone!

The Christ Nail [5.3]

 * [to the handyman]
 * Larry: See this thing? It's a mezuzah. Got that? And I need you to put it over the door here. This is like a Jewish thing, you know, we put it over the door so every anti-Semite in the neighborhood will know that we live here in case they want to burn down the house.

Kamikaze Bingo [5.4]

 * [to Larry everytime he walks in to Hana Sushi]
 * Chefs: Chicken Teriyaki Boy! Chicken Teriyaki Boy!

 * Jeff: Good night nurse.
 * Nurse: Good night.
 * Jeff: It's just a saying.
 * Nurse: I've never heard of it.
 * Jeff: It's an old one.
 * Nurse: That's nice.
 * Jeff: It is.
 * Nurse: I know it is.
 * Jeff: Do you?
 * Nurse: Do you?
 * Jeff: I do.
 * Nurse: Good for you.
 * Jeff: It is good for me.
 * Nurse: Oh, you think so?

The Seder [5.7]

The Ski Lift [5.8]

 * [Larry and Ben's daughter are stuck on a ski lift right before sunset]
 * Ben's daughter: Somebody's gonna have to jump.
 * Larry: Oh, stop.
 * Ben's daughter: Stop what? I can't be with you here after sundown! There's no other way! Somebody's gonna have to jump! You're gonna have to jump!
 * [Larry looks down]
 * Ben's daughter: Are you gonna jump?!
 * Larry: What are you, fuckin' nuts?


 * Larry: You got the huge vagina and you're blaming it on the small penis. You know, it's not really necessary.


 * Larry: Oh hey, there was a Mickey Mantle ball, his 500th home run, right over there, and it's missing. Have you seen it?
 * Nurse: No, I have not.
 * Larry: Hm. It's kinda curious given that nobody has been in the house, save for a few friends. Can a ball worth an excess of $20,000 just disappear into thin air?
 * Nurse: You want to tell me what you're driving at?
 * Larry: I'll tell you what I'm driving at! I submit that you took that baseball, stashed it in your unusually large vagina, and walked right on out of here!


 * [Larry pretending to be Orthodox Jew to suck up to the guy in charge of organ donation]
 * Larry: I was in the band, ok. The girls were pretty interested, you know, with the guitar. They liked that.
 * Ben's daughter: Like a rock band?
 * Larry: Jewish folk music, Jewish folk songs.
 * Ben's daughter: Oh, like what songs?
 * Larry: Um.."Gefilte Fish Blues".."My Freakin' Back is Killin' Me and It's Making It Hard to Kvell".
 * Cheryl: What was the name of your band?
 * Larry: The Hipsters..Larry David and The Hipsters. And then, I left The Hipsters and I just became Larry David.


 * Larry: You know what? Nevermind, alright? I-I'll take my liver out! I'll walk around with a dialysis machine hanging out of me for the rest of my life, no problem!

The Korean Bookie [5.9]

 * Larry: I owe you money, okay?
 * Song: Yes. Here we go.
 * Larry: [checking his wallet] Okay...unbelievable...I'm out, I don't have any cash.
 * Song: How come you never have cash, Larry?
 * Larry: I'm sorry, Song, I'm sorry.
 * Song: No, I see you on the-
 * Larry: But listen! You know what I got? I got a check from Marla made out to me for $150, I'll sign it right over to you.
 * Song: Okay, last time.
 * Larry: Last time, Song.
 * Song: Okay? 'Cuz I like you.
 * Larry: Ok, I'm sorry, Song. Sorry.
 * Song: I know where you live.


 * [Larry is wearing a huge sun hat]
 * Jeff: What's with the hat?
 * Larry: What? I'm married. I can wear whatever I want.
 * Jeff: It does look ridiculous. You look like you should be pulling a rickshaw of some sort.


 * Larry: This is unbelievable!
 * Jeff: I've never tasted anything like this.
 * Larry: What is this dish?
 * Caterer: Are you talking about this? It's pulgoki. The Korean florist brought it, it's delicious.
 * [Larry's face turns to disgust]
 * Larry: OHHH! OSCAR! THAT PULGOKI'S OSCAR!! YOU'RE EATING A DOG, YOU'RE EATING A DOG!!

The End [5.10]

 * Nurse: You're giving away a kidney. The recipient is going to love you, man.
 * Larry: Really?
 * Nurse: You gonna have your own personal slave, is what it is. You could be in China and sneeze and he'll bring you a tissue.
 * Larry: Wow, that may be true with others, I don't think with him though. He wouldn't even loan me a putter, actually.
 * Nurse: You're giving him a kidney, he wouldn't loan you his putter?
 * Larry: Well, people get very attached to their golf clubs. It's understandable.
 * Nurse: You're not attached to your kidney? That's fucked up, man.


 * Larry: I have a system..I..I have a..
