I didn't even know it WAS a job.....this line makes me laff my head off and the very next scene where he's talking on the phone to the girl and he's talking about the turtles in the Galapogos islands
The writing and delivery of this show is what absolutely sold it. The dialogue is astounding beyond belief. Better than the writing of any other show I've ever watched, even The Simpsons and The West Wing. And the way the two were put together...if you look up a Seinfeld script and read it, it seems very bizarre and unfunny. If you imagine the characters saying it, however, it's hilarious. Never doubt the power of either writers or actors to sell a line.
LMFAO - I agree! Although the 'final speech' by George in this episode is classic - I personally like this conversation better. George acts so stupid. "But I'm not a marine biologst. I didn't even know it *was* a job."
One of the funniest lines from this episode is when George says "You got me in the Galapagos Islands living with the turtles. I don't know where the hell I am!"
As funny as the premise of this sketch is, it's the acting that really drives it home. Even with something so twisted and bizarre, Jerry so matter-of-factly says, "Now I should tell you..."
But perhaps even better is the way George reacts. First, the disbelief. He knows Jerry so well that he expects him to be disingenuous or just punking him. But then, after that, the way he pauses and processes the marine biologist thing...classic. Jason Alexander is one hell of an actor.
"Now...I should tell you..."

Jason Alexander is FLAWLESS in this. How he did not win an award is beyond me, he was MADE for this role.

I disagree with a few opinions here. My favorite is the Visa. Kramer punching out Mickey Mantle, Jerry getting his friend fired, awesome!

Jerry's delivery in this scene is flawless.
"She's under the impression that you're a uh...."
"A what?"
"A marine biologist."

-Yeah.

-I may have mentioned it.

-Yes I know that.
-So...
-Why, don't you think it's a good job?

George's "The sea was angry that day my friends," could be the single best line in the entire series.
