Cookie Deprivation

Took a brief trip to Florida, where I experienced Seinfeld moments too numerous to count. Since there are no non-stop flights from Pittsburgh to South Florida anymore, I had to take 4 flights altogether. Naturally, being the cheapskate that I am, I chose to fly Coach, and on each flight I had the urge to stand up and echo Elaine's impassioned speech about the fat cats flying first class:

Episode 52 - The Airport

Elaine has just been caught sneaking into first class.

Attendant: [Checks her list] You're going to have to go back to coach.
Elaine: No, but there was nobody sitting here...
Attendant: Yes, but you're still not allowed. These seats are very expensive.
Elaine: Oh, no, please, don't send me back there. Please, I'll do anything. It's so nice up here. It's so comfortable up here. I don't want to go back there. Please don't send me back there...

[She notices another attendant offering goods]
Oh, you have cookies!
Attendant: You're going to have to go back to your seat!
Elaine: Ok, fine. I'll go back... You know, our goal should be a society without classes!

[She goes through the curtain back to coach and addresses her fellow passengers]
Do you realize that the people up here are getting cookies!
