Jerry Seinfeld Quotes

09x22 - The Clip Show (2) (a.k.a. The Chronicle (2)) Season 9 / Episode 22: - The Clip Show (2) (a.k.a. The Chronicle (2))

Jerry Seinfeld: [In Prison] So what is the deal with the yard? I mean when I was a kid my mother wanted me to play in the yard. But of course she didn't have to worry about my next door neighbor Tommy sticking a shiv in my thigh. And what's with the lockdown? Why do we have to be locked in our cells? Are we that bad that we have to be sent to prison, in prison? You would think the weightlifting and the sodomy is enough.
