I don’t have a square to spare

Elaine runs out the toilet paper in a public bathroom. She asks the woman in the steal next to her if she has any squares to spare. The woman rudely doesn’t. She doesn’t have a square to spare.

Who is Elaine Benes?

Elaine Marie Benes is a fictional character on Seinfeld, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

She used to date Jerry Seinfeld, and their characters remained close friends. This is usually explained when one of them is introducing the other, though the explanation is often not necessary. Her other main friends were George Costanza and Cosmo Kramer.

Elaine was the only character, of those mentioned above, missing from the pilot episode. She would make her first appearance in the second episode, “The Stake Out”. Her character was added because NBC executives felt the show was too male-centric, and demanded that creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David add a woman to the cast, or the show would not be renewed.

I’m sorry… we’ve already got a George

Heeeelloooooo!
