To be out,\nthis is out...and out is one of the\nsingle most enjoyable experiences of\nlife. People...did you ever hear people\ntalking about \"We should go out\"? This\nis what they're talking about...this\nwhole thing, we're all out now, no one\nis home. Not one person here is home,\nwe're all out! There are people tryin'\nto find us, they don't know where we\nare. (imitates one of these people \"tryin'\nto find us\"; pretends his hand is a\nphone) \"Did you ring?, I can't find\nhim.\" (imitates other person on phone)\n\"Where did he go?\" (the first person\nagain) \"He didn't tell me where he was\ngoing\". He must have gone out. You wanna\ngo out: you get ready, you pick out\nthe clothes, right? You take the shower,\nyou get all ready, get the cash, get\nyour friends, the car, the spot, the\nreservation...There you're staring around,\nwhatta you do? You go: \"We gotta be\ngetting back\". Once you're out, you\nwanna get back! You wanna go to sleep,\nyou wanna get up, you wanna go out again\ntomorrow, right? Where ever you are\nin life, it's my feeling, you've gotta\ngo.\n\n(Pete's luncheonette. Jerry and George are sitting at a table.)\n\nJERRY\nSeems to me, that button is in the worst\npossible spot. (talking about George's\nshirt) The second button literally makes\nor breaks the shirt, look at it: it's\ntoo high! It's in no-man's-land, you\nlook like you live with your mother.\n\nGEORGE\nAre you through? (kind of irritated)\n\nJERRY\nYou do of course try on, when you buy?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, it was purple, I liked it, I don't\nactually recall considering the buttons.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you don't recall?\n\nGEORGE\n(pretends he's talking into a microphone)\nUh, no, not at this time.\n\nJERRY\nWell, senator, I just like to know,\nwhat you knew and when you knew it.\n(a waitress approaches the table)\n\nWAITRESS\nMister Seinfeld. (she pours coffee in\nhis cup) Mister Costanza. (she wants\nto pour coffee, but George stops her)\n\nGEORGE\nAre, are you sure this is decaf? Where's\nthe orange indicator?\n\nWAITRESS\nIt's missing, I have to do it in my\nhead: decaf left, regular right, decaf\nleft, regular right...it's very challenging\nwork. (ironically)\n\nJERRY\nCan you relax, it's a cup of coffee,\nClaire is a professional waitress.\n\nWAITRESS\nTrust me George: no one has any interest\nin seeing you on caffeine. (she pours\nthe coffee and walks away)\n\nGEORGE\nHow come you're not doin' the second\nshow tomorrow?\n\nJERRY\nWell, there's this uh, woman might be\ncomin' in.\n\nGEORGE\nWait a second, wait a second, what coming\nin, what woman is coming in?\n\nJERRY\nI told you about Laura, the girl I met\nin Michigan?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, you didn't!\n\nJERRY\nI thought I told you about it, yes,\nshe teaches political science? I met\nher the night I did the show in Lansing...(looks\nin the milk can) There's no milk in\nhere, what...\n\nGEORGE\nWait wait wait, what is she, (takes\nthe milk can from Jerry and puts it\non the table) what is she like?\n\nJERRY\nOh, she's really great. I mean, she's\ngot like a real warmth about her and\nshe's really bright and really pretty\nand uh...the conversation though, I\nmean, it was...talking with her is like\ntalking with you, but, ya know, obviously\nmuch better.\n\nGEORGE\n(with a big smile) So, ya know, what,\nwhat happened?\n\nJERRY\nOh, nothing happened, ya know, but it\nwas great.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, nothing happened, but it was...\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is great!\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, ya know, she calls and says she\nwants to go out with you tomorrow night?\nGod bless! Devil you!\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well...not exactly. I mean, she\nsaid, you know, she called this morning\nand said she had to come in for a seminar\nand maybe we'll get together.\n\nGEORGE\n(whistles disapproving) Ho ho ho, \"Had\nto\"? \"Had to come in\"?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but...\n\nGEORGE\n\"Had to come in\" and \"maybe we'll get\ntogether\"? \"Had to\" and \"Maybe\"?\n\nJERRY\nYeah!\n\nGEORGE\nNo...no...no, I hate to tell you this:\nyou're not gonna see this woman.\n\nJERRY\n(indignant) What, are you serious...why,\nwhy did she call?\n\nGEORGE\nHow do I know, maybe, ya know, maybe\nshe wanted to be polite.\n\nJERRY\nTo be polite? You are insane!\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, all right, I didn't want\nto tell you this, you wanna know why\nshe called you?\n\nJERRY\nYes!\n\nGEORGE\nYou're a back-up, you're a second-line,\na just-in-case, a B-plan of contingency!\n\nJERRY\nOh, I get it, this is about the button.\n\nGEORGE\n(The waitress(Claire) passes the table;\nGeorge stops her and writes something\non his note-block) Claire, Claire, you're\na woman, right?\n\nCLAIRE\nWhat gave it away, George?\n\nGEORGE\nUhm...I'd like to ask you...ask you\nto analyze a hypothetical phone call,\nya know, from a female point of view.\n\nJERRY\n(to George) Oh, come on now, what are\nyou asking her? Now, how is she gonna\nknow?\n\nGEORGE\n(to Claire) Now, a woman calls me, all\nright? She says she has to (makes some\ngestures to accent \"has to\") come to\nNew York on business...\n\nJERRY\nOh you are beautiful! (ironically)\n\nGEORGE\nand, and maybe (again some gestures)\nshe'll see me when she gets there, does\nthis woman intend to spend time with\nme?\n\nCLAIRE\nI'd have to say: uuhh, no. (George shows\nhis note-block to Jerry, it says very\nlargely: NO)\n\nGEORGE\n(to Claire) So why did she call?\n\nCLAIRE\nTo be polite.\n\nGEORGE\nTo be polite, I rest my case.\n\nJERRY\nGood. Did you have fun? You have no\nidea, what you're talking about, now,\ncome on, come with me (stands up), I,\nI gotta go get my stuff out of the dryer\nanyway.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not gonna watch you do laundry.\n\nJERRY\nOh, come on, be a \"come-with-guy\".\n\nGEORGE\nCome on, I'm tired.\n\nCLAIRE\n(to Jerry) Don't worry, I gave him a\nlittle caffeine: he'll perk up.\n\nGEORGE\n(takes off his glasses and rubs his\neyes; panics) Right, I knew I felt something...!\n(Jerry is laughing, Claire walks away\nwith a smile)\n\n(Laundry. Jerry and George are there; George is staring at one\nof the dryers)\n\nGEORGE\nJerry? I have to tell ya somethin':...this\nis the dullest moment I've ever experienced.\n(walks away from the dryer; a man passes\nGeorge and Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nWell, look at this guy! Look, he's got\neverything, he's got: detergents, sprays,\nfabric softeners; this is not his first\nload.\n\nGEORGE\nI need a break, Jerry, ya know, I gotta\nget out of the city, I feel so cramped...\n\nJERRY\nAnd you didn't even hear how she sounded.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?!\n\nJERRY\nLaura.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe: (falls on his knees)\nWE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS!\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but how could you be so sure?\n\nGEORGE\n(gets up) 'Cause it's signals, Jerry\n(starts snapping his fingers), it's\nsignals! Don't you....all right. Did\nshe even ask you, what you were doin'\ntomorrow night, if you were busy?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nShe calls you today and she doesn't\nmake a plan for tomorrow? What is that?\nIt's Saturday night!\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat is that? It's ridiculous! (Jerry\nbobs agreeingly) You don't even know,\nwhat hotel she's staying at, you can't\ncall her. That's a signal, Jerry, that's\na signal! (snaps his fingers again)\nSignal!\n\nJERRY\nMaybe you're right.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe I'm right? Of course I'm right.\n\nJERRY\nThis is insane. You know, I don't even\nknow where she's staying! She, she's\nnot gonna call me, this is unbelievable.\n\nGEORGE\n(puts an arm around Jerry and whispers)\nI know, I know. (normal voice) Listen,\nyour stuff has to be done by know, why\ndon't you just see if it's dried?\n\nJERRY\nNo no no, don't interrupt the cycle.\nThe machine is working, it, it knows\nwhat it's doing, just let it finish.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're gonna \"overdry\" it.\n\nJERRY\nYou, you can't \"overdry\".\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nJERRY\nSame as you can't \"overwet\". (George\nlooks puzzled) You see, once something\nis wet, it's wet. Same thing with dead:\nlike once you die you're dead, right?\nLet's say you drop dead and I shoot\nyou: you're not gonna die again, you're\nalready dead. You can't \"overdie\", you\ncan't \"overdry\".\n\nGEORGE\n(looks at the other persons in the laundry\nand says to them pointing to Jerry)\nAny questions?\n\nJERRY\nHow could she not tell me where she\nwas staying? (George stands by the dryer\nagain and secretly opens it: the dryer\nstops working and George closes the\nlid)\n\nGEORGE\n(points to the dryer) Look at that:\nthey're done! It's a miracle! (Jerry\nlooks surprised)\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\n\"Laundry-day\" is the only exciting day\nin the live of clothes. It is...no,\nthink about it: the washing machine\nis the nightclub of clothes. Ya know,\nit's dark, there's bubbles happening,\nthey're all kind a dancing around in\nthere...shirt grabs the underwear: \"C'mon\nbabe, let's gather\". You come by, you\nopen up the lid and they'll: (shows\nhow clothes are acting when you open\nthe lid)...Socks are the most amazing\narticle of clothing. They hate their\nlives, they're in the shoes with stinky\nfeet, the boring drawers...the dryer\nis their only chance to escape and they\nall know it. They knew a escape from\nthe dryer. They plan it in the hamper,\nthe night before: (sock's voice) \"Tomorrow,\nthe dryer, I'm goin'...you wait here!\"\nThe dryer-door swings open and the sock\nis waiting up against the side wall.\nThey hope you don't see him and then\nhe goes down the road (shows how the\nsock is going down the road). They got\nbuttons sewed on their faces: join the\npuppet show...So they're showing me\non television the detergent for getting\nout blood-stains...Is this a violent\nimage to anybody? Blood-stains? I mean,\nI, come on, you got a T-shirt with blood-stains\nall over it, maybe laundry isn't your\nbiggest problem right now...Maybe you\noughta get the harpoon out your chest\nfirst.\n\n(Jerry's apartment. Jerry is watching TV)\n\nJERRY\n(The phone rings. He picks it up and\nsays:) If you know what happened in\nthe Mets-game, don't say anything, I\ntaped it, hello... Yeah, no, I'm sorry,\nyou have the wrong number...Yeah, no\n(somebody knocks at the door) Yeah?\n(to the door, while still at the phone)\n\nKRAMER\n(enters) Are you up?\n\nJERRY\n(To Kramer) Yeah...(in the phone) Yeah,\npeople do move! Have you ever seen the\nbig trucks out on the street? Yeah,\nno problem (hangs up the phone).\n\nKRAMER\nBoy, the Mets blew it tonight, huh?\n\nJERRY\n(upset) Ooohhhh, what are you doing?\nKramer, it's a tape! (actually I can't\nunderstand the name; maybe \"Kramer\"\nwasn't named \"Kramer\" in the pilot!)\nI taped the game, it's one o'clock in\nthe morning! I avoided human contact\nall night to watch this.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I'm sorry, I...ya know, I, I thought\nyou knew...(takes two loaves of bread\nout of his pockets) You got any meat?\n\nJERRY\n(a little irritated) Meat? I don't,\nI don't know, go...hunt! (Kramer walks\nto the refrigerator and sticks his head\nin) Well what, what happened in the\ngame anyway?\n\nKRAMER\n(still with his head in the refrigerator)\nWhat happened? Well, they STUNK, that's\nwhat happened! (takes some meat from\nthe refrigerator and closes it) Ya know,\nI almost wound up going to that game.\n\nJERRY\n(cynical) Yeah you almost went to the\ngame. You haven't been out of the building\nin ten years!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. (Jerry sits down on the couch.\nKramer sits down next to him and starts\nturning over the pages of a magazine.\nSuddenly he spots an article he likes\nand tears it out. Jerry looks at him\nwith a \"what-the-h...-are-you-doing-look\"\nand Kramer asks:) Are you done with\nthis?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\n(glues the article back with his own\nsaliva and puts the magazine back on\nthe table) When you're done, let me\nknow.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, yeah...you can have it tomorrow.\n\nKRAMER\nI thought I wasn't allowed to be in\nhere this weekend.\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's OK now, that, that girl is\nnot comin' uh, I, I misread the whole\nthing.\n\nKRAMER\nYou want me to talk to her?\n\nJERRY\nI don't think so.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I can be very persuasive. Do you\nknow that I was almost... a lawyer.\n(shows with his fingers how close it\nwas)\n\nJERRY\nThat close, huh?\n\nKRAMER\nYou better believe it. (The phone rings.\nJerry picks it up)\n\nJERRY\nHello...Oh, hi, Laura.\n\nKRAMER\nGive me it...let me talk to her (continues\nthis way).\n\nJERRY\n(gestures Kramer to shut up) No believe\nme, I'm always up at this hour. How\nare you?...great...sure...What time\ndoes the plane get in?...I got my friend\nGeorge to take me...(Kramer suddenly\nnotices something in the Mets-game on\nTV)...\n\nKRAMER\nA SLIDE!...Wow!\n\nJERRY\n...No, it's, it's just my neighbour...uhm...yeah,\nI got it (takes a pencil and a cereal\nbox to write on) ten-fifteen...No, don't\nbe silly, go ahead and ask...Yeah, sure...OK,\ngreat, no no, it's no trouble at all...I'll\nsee you tomorrow...great, bye. (hangs\nup the phone; to Kramer:) I, I don't\nbelieve it...That, that was her. She\nwants to stay here!\n\n(Jerry's apartment. Jerry and George enter, lifting a heavy mattress)\n\nJERRY\nIf my father was moving this he'd had\nto have a cigarette in his mouth the\nwhole way. (talks from now on like he\nhas a cigarette in his mouth) Have you\ngot your end?...Your end's got to come\ndown first, easy now, drop it down...drop\nit down, your end's got to come down.\n\nGEORGE\nYa know, I can't believe you're bringin'\nin an extra bed for woman, that wants\nto sleep with you. Why don't you bring\nin an extra guy too? (sits down)\n\nJERRY\n(hands George a beer) Look, it's a very\nawkward situation, I, I don't wanna\nbe presumptuous.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, all right, one more time,\none more time! What was the EXACT phrasing\nof the request?\n\nJERRY\nAll right, she said she couldn't find\na decent hotel- room...\n\nGEORGE\nA decent hotel-room...\n\nJERRY\nYeah, a decent hotel-room, would it\nbe terribly inconvenient if she stayed\nat my place.\n\nGEORGE\nYou can't be serious. This is New York\ncity: there must be eleven million decent\nhotel-rooms! Whatta ya need? A flag?\n(waves with his handkerchief) This is\nthe signal, Jerry, this is the signal!\n\nJERRY\n(cynical) This is the signal. Thank\nyou, mister Signal, where were you yesterday?\n\nGEORGE\nI think I was affected by the caffeine.\n(suddenly a dog enters the apartment\nand jumps George at the couch) HO, HO,\nHO, GOOD DOG (etc.)\n\nKRAMER\n(walks in behind the dog and closes\nthe door) He really likes you, George.\n\nGEORGE\n(ironically) Well, that's flattering.\n\nKRAMER\n(the dog runs to the bathroom and apparently\nstarts drinking from the toilet) Oh,\nhe's getting' a drink of water. (sees\nthe mattress on the floor) Is this for\nthat girl?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy even give her an option?\n\nJERRY\nThis is a person I like, it's not: \"How\nto score on spring break\".\n\nGEORGE\nRight, can we go? 'Cause I'm double-parked,\nI'm gonna get a ticket.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, OK. Oh, wait a second. Oh, I,\nI forgot to clean the bathroom.\n\nGEORGE\nSo what? That's good.\n\nJERRY\nNow, how could that be good?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause filth is good...Whatta you think:\nrock stars have sponges and ammonia\nlyin' around the bathroom? They, they\nhave a woman comin' over: \"I've gotta\ntidy up? Yeah right, in these matters\nyou never do what your instincts tell\nyou. Always, ALWAYS do the opposite.\n\nJERRY\nThis is how you operate?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I wish.\n\nJERRY\nLet me just wipe the sink.\n\nKRAMER\n(stands up from the couch and yells.)\nWHY EVEN GIVE HER AN OPTION FOR? (Jerry\nwalks to the bathroom and closes the\ndoor; to George, while pointing to the\nmattress) It's unbelievable.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nKRAMER\n...How's the real estate-business?\n\nGEORGE\n...(surprised he asked) It's uh, not\nbad, it's comin' along...Why? Did you\nneed something.\n\nKRAMER\nDo you handle any of that commercial...real\nestate?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I might be getting in to that.\n\nKRAMER\n(slaps George on the arm) You keep me\nposted!\n\nGEORGE\nI'm aware of you, all right, let's go\n(opens the bathroom door), let's go!\n(Jerry and the dog come out) You're\non stage in 25 minutes.\n\n(Comedy club.)\n\nJERRY\nThe dating world is not a fun world...it's\na pressure world, it's a world of tension,\nit's a world of pain...and ya know,\nif a woman comes over to my house, I\ngotta get that bathroom ready, 'cause\nshe needs things. Women need equipment.\nI don't know what they need. I know\nI don't have it, I know that...Ya know\nwhat they need, women seem to need a\nlot of cotton-balls. This is the one\nI'm, always has been one of the amazing\nthings to me...I have no cotton-balls,\nwe're all human beings, what is the\nstory? I've never had one...I never\nbought one, I never needed one, I've\nnever been in a situation, when I thought\nto myself: \"I could use a cotton-ball\nright now\"...I can certainly get out\nof this mess...Women need them and they\ndon't need one or two, they need thousands\nof them, they need bags, they're like\npeat-moss bags, have you ever seen these\ngiant bags? They're huge and two days\nlater, they're out, they're gone, the,\nthe bag is empty, where are the cotton-balls,\nladies? What are you doin' with them?\nThe only time I ever see'em is in the\nbottom of your little waste basket,\nthere's two or three, that look like\nthey've been through some horrible experience...\ntortured, interrogated, I don't know\nwhat happened to them...I once went\nout with a girl who's left a little\nzip-lock-baggy of cotton-balls over\nmy house. I don't know what to do with\nthem, I took them out, I put them on\nmy kitchen floor like little tumbleweeds.\nI thought maybe the cockroaches would\nsee it, figure this is a dead town:\n\"Let's move on\"... The dating world\nis a world of pressure. Let's face it:\na date is a job-interview, that lasts\nall night. The only difference between\na date and a job-interview is: not many\njob-interviews is there a chance you'll\nend up naked at the end of it...ya know:\n\"Well, Bill, the boss thinks you're\nthe man for the position, why don't\nyou strip down and meet some of the\npeople you'll be workin' with?\".\n\n(Airport. Jerry and George are waiting for Laura)\n\nJERRY\nWouldn't it be great if you could ask\na woman what she's thinking?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat a world that would be, if you just\ncould ask a woman what she's thinkin'.\n\nJERRY\nYa know, instead, I'm like a detective:\nI've gotta pick up clues, the whole\nthing is a murder investigation.\n\nGEORGE\nListen, listen, don't get worked up,\n'cause you're gonna know the whole story\nthe minute she steps off the plane.\n\nJERRY\nReally? How?\n\nGEORGE\n'Cause it's all in the greeting.\n\nJERRY\nUh-huh.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, if she puts the bags down\nbefore she greets you, that's a good\nsign.\n\nJERRY\nRight.\n\nGEORGE\nYa know, anything in the, in the \"lip-area\"\nis good.\n\nJERRY\n\"Lip-area\".\n\nGEORGE\nYa know a hug: definitely good.\n\nJERRY\nHug is definitely good.\n\nGEORGE\nSure.\n\nJERRY\nAlthough what if it's one of those hugs\nwhere the shoulders are touching, the\nhips are eight feet apart?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's so brutal, I hate that.\n\nJERRY\nYa know how they do that?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's why, ya know, a shake is bad.\n\nJERRY\nShake is bad, but what if it's the \"two-hander\"?\nThe hand on the bottom, the hand on\nthe top, the warm look in the eyes?\n\nGEORGE\nHand-sandwich.\n\nJERRY\nRight.\n\nGEORGE\nI see, well, that's open to interpretation.\nBecause so much depends on the layering\nand the quality of the wetness in the\neyes...(suddenly a woman approaches\nJerry from behind and puts her hands\nover Jerry's eyes)\n\nLAURA\nGuess who?\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey.\n\nLAURA AND JERRY\nHeeeey! (they take each others hands\nlike they're planning to do a folk dance;\nGeorge is looking puzzled)\n\nJERRY\nIt's good to see you.\n\nLAURA\nHi.\n\nJERRY\nThis is my friend George.\n\nLAURA\n(shakes George's hand) Hi, how nice\nto meet you.\n\nGEORGE\nHi, how are you?\n\nJERRY\nThis is Laura.\n\nGEORGE\nLaura, sure.\n\nJERRY\n(to Laura) I can't believe you're here.\n\nGEORGE AND JERRY\nOoh yeah, the bags, sure. (they pick\nup the bags)\n\nLAURA\nOh, thank you.\n\nJERRY\n(privately to George) Now that was an\ninteresting greeting, did you notice\nthat, George?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, the \"surprise-blindfold-greeting\".\nThat wasn't in the manual, I don't know.\n\n(Jerry's apartment. Jerry shows Laura the apartment)\n\nJERRY\nSo uh, what do ya think?\n\nLAURA\nOoohhh, wow! This place isn't so bad.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it kind a motivates me to work\non the road...So uh, make yourself at\nhome. (Laura sits down on the couch,\ntakes off her shoes and opens some buttons\nof her shirt) So uh, can I get you anything?\nUuhhh, bread, water...salad-dressing?\n\nLAURA\n(laughs) Actually uhm, do you have any\nwine?\n\nJERRY; Uh, yeah, I think I do.\n\nLAURA\nOh, do, do you mind if I turn this down?\n(points to the lamp)\n\nJERRY\nUh, no, yeah, go right ahead. (she turns\ndown the lamp)\n\nLAURA\nUh, Jerry, uh, I was wondering: would\nit be possible, and if it's not, fine,\nfor me to stay here tomorrow night too?\n\nJERRY\nUh, yeah, yeah, sure, why don't you\nstay? Yeah, uhm...What is your, what\nis your schedule for tomorrow? Are you,\nare you doin' anything?\n\nLAURA\nNo, I'd love to do something, uh, I\nhave my seminar in the morning, then\nafter that I'm right open.\n\nJERRY\nReally? What would you like to do?\n\nLAURA\nWell...now I know this sounds touristy,\nbut I'd just love to go on one of those\nfive-hour-boat-rides around Manhattan.\n\nJERRY\n(doubtfully) Yeah, we could do that...why\nnot, why not. (pours the wine) I'm just,\nI'm really glad you're here. (the phone\nrings; he picks it up) Yeah, hello...yes...yes,\nshe is, hold on. (to Laura) Uhm, it's\nfor you.\n\nLAURA\n(she takes the phone) Hello?...Hi!...no\nno it was great, right on time...no,\nI, I'm gonna stay here tomorrow...yes,\nyes it's fine..no, we're goin' on a\nboat-ride...don't be silly...I'm not\ngonna have this conversation...look\nI, I'll call you tomorrow...OK, bye\n(she hangs up the phone). Never get\nengaged.\n\nJERRY\nYou're engaged?\n\nLAURA\nYou, you really have no idea what it's\nlike until you actually do it and I'm\non this emotional roller coaster.\n\nJERRY\nYou're engaged? (still can't believe\nit)\n\nLAURA\nYa know, I can't believe it myself sometimes.\nYou have to start thinking in terms\nof \"we\", uh, it's a very stressful situation.\n\nJERRY\nYou're engaged! (like he's answering\nhis own question)\n\nLAURA\nYeah...yeah, he's a great guy...\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nLAURA\nYou'd really like him...ya know, I can't\nwait to get on that boat.\n\nJERRY\nMe too!\n\n(Comedy club.)\n\nJERRY\nI swear, I have absolutely no idea what\nwomen are thinking. I don't get it,\nOK? I, I, I admit, I, I'm not getting\nthe signals. I am not getting it! Women,\nthey're so subtle, their little...everything\nthey do is subtle...men are not subtle,\nwe are obvious. Women know what men\nwant, men know what men want, what do\nwe want? We want women, that's it!...It's\nthe only thing we know for sure, it\nreally is: we want women. How do we\nget them? Oh, we don't know 'bout that,\nwe don't know. The next step after that\nwe have no idea. This is why you see\nmen honking car-horns, yelling from\nconstruction sites. These are the best\nideas we've had so far...The car-horn-honk,\nis that a beauty? Have you seen men\ndoing this? What is this? The man is\nin the car, the woman walks by the front\nof the car, he honks: (imitates horn).\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Stakeout.html", "text": "THE STAKEOUT\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David & Jerry Seinfeld\n\n(Opening comedy)\n\nJERRY\nSo, I'm on line at the supermarket.\nTwo women in front of me.

Now, the fact is, if it's a\nwoman in front of you that's\n\nwriting the cheque, you will not be waiting long. I have noticed\nthat\n\nwomen are very *fast* with cheques, y'know, 'cuz they write out\nso many\n\ncheques. The keys, they can never find in their purse, they don't\nknow\n\nwhere that is, but the cheque book they got that. They never\nfumble for\n\nbook from an imaginary holster) ``Who do I make it out to?...\nThere's my\n\nID...\". There's something about a cheque that, to a man, is\nnot masculine.\n\nI don't know exactly what it is... I think to a man, a cheque\nis like a note\n\nfrom your mother that says ``I don't have any money, but if you'll\n\ncontact these people, I'm sure they'll stick up for me... If\nyou\n\njust trust me this one time I don't have any money but I have\n\nthese... I wrote on these; is this of any value at all?\"\n\n(End stand-up)\n\nJERRY\nWhat's that one?\n\nELAINE\n\"Coccoon II: The Return\". I guess they\ndidn't like it up there...\n\nJERRY\nMaybe they came back for Chinese food.\nY'know Maureen Stapleton, if\n\nshe gets a craving, she's probably screamin' at those aliens,\n\"I gotta have a Lo mein!\"\n\nELAINE\nOkay, what're we doing here?

Nothing...\n\nJERRY\nApparently Plato, who came up with the\nconcept of the platonic\n\nrelationship, was pretty excited about it. He named it after\n\nhimself. He said ``Yeah, I got this new thing-- \"platonic\". My\n\nidea, my name, callin' it after myself... What I do is, I go\n*out*\n\nwith the girls, I *talk* with them-- don't *do* anything... and\ngo\n\nright home. What'dya think? I think it's going to be *big*!\"\n\nI bet you there were other guys in history that tried to get\n\nrelationships named after them, but it didn't work. Y'know, I\nbet\n\nRico.

How\nmany people work at these big\n\nlaw offices?\n\nMORTY\nDepends on the firm.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but if you called up and described\nsomeone, do you think they\n\nwould know who it was?\n\nMORTY\nWhat's the matter? You need a lawyer?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I met someone at this party, and\nI know where she works, but I\n\ndon't know her name.\n\nMORTY\nSo why don't you ask someone who was\nat the party?\n\nJERRY\nNah, the only one I could ask is Elaine,\nand I can't ask her.\n\nHELEN\nWhy not?\n\nJERRY\nBecause it's complicated-- there's some\ntension there.\n\nHELEN\nHe used to go with her...\n\nHELEN\nWhich one is she?\n\nMORTY\nFrom Maryland. The one who brought you\nthe chocolate covered\n\ncherries you didn't like.\n\nMORTY\nOh yeah, very alert.

It wasn't all one-sided.\n\nHELEN\nYou know, you can't be so particular.\nNobody's perfect.\n\nJERRY\nI know, I know...\n\nMORTY\nY'know Jerry, it's a good thing I wasn't\nso particular.\n\nHELEN\nIdiot... (To Jerry) So who're you looking\nfor, Sophia Loren?\n\nJERRY\nThat's got *nothin'* to do with it.\n\nMORTY\nHow about Loni Anderson?\n\nHELEN\nWhere do you get Loni Anderson?\n\nMORTY\nWhy, what's wrong with Loni Anderson?\n\nHELEN\nI like *Elaine* more than Loni Anderson...\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you two talking about? Look,\nElaine just wasn't \"the one\".\n\nHELEN\nAnd this other one's \"the one\"?\n\nJERRY\nI dunno, maybe...\n\nMORTY\nSo ask Elaine there for the number.\n\nJERRY\nI can't-- she'll get upset. I never\ntalk about other women with her,\n\nespecially this one tonight.\n\nHELEN\nHow could you still see her if your\nnot interested?\n\nJERRY\nWe're *friends*.\n\nMORTY\nDoesn't sound like you're friends to\nme. If you were friends you'd\n\nask her for the number. Do you know where this other one works?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah...\n\nMORTY\nWell, go up to the office.\n\nHELEN\nUp to her office?\n\nMORTY\nGo to the building. She goes out to\nlunch, doesn't she?\n\nJERRY\nI guess...\n\nMORTY\nSo, you stand in the lobby, by the elevator,\nand wait for her to\n\ncome down for lunch.\n\nJERRY\nYou mean \"stakeout\" the lobby?\n\nHELEN\nMorty, that's ridiculous. Just ask Elaine\nfor the number!\n\nMORTY\nHe doesn't want to ask Elaine for the\nnumber.\n\nHELEN\nSo you've got him standing by the elevator\nlike a *dope*! What\n\nhappens when he sees her?\n\nMORTY\nHe pretends he *bumped* into her!\n\nJERRY\nY'know what? This is *not* that *bad*\nan idea...\n\nGEORGE\nWhat does she look like?\n\nJERRY\nI dunno. Hard to say.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat actress does she remind you of?\n\nJERRY\nLoni Anderson.\n\nGEORGE\nLoni Anderson?!\n\nJERRY\nWhat, there's something wrong with Loni\nAnderson?\n\nJERRY\nHey listen, thanks again for running\nover here.

Elaine, this is my cousin\nArtie Levine.\n\nARTIE\nLe*vine*.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, \"Le*vine*\". And I'm Jerry Cougar\nMellencamp... Anyway, I\n\nadmit it was a fairly ridiculous thing to do, but I mean, I mean,\n\nobviously we have a little problem here.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, obviously.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, if we're gonna be friends, we\ngotta be able to talk about\n\nother people...\n\nELAINE\nCouldn't agree more.\n\nJERRY\nGood.\n\nELAINE\nGood.\n\nJERRY\nGood.\n\nELAINE\nGreat!\n\nJERRY\nGreat?

So where did you\nmeet this guy?\n\nELAINE\nI \"staked\" out his health club.\n\nJERRY\nWhen you're on a stakeout, do you find\nit's better to stand up\n\nagainst the wall, or kinda crouch down behind a big plant?...\n\nJERRY\nY'know I think that even if you've had\na relationship with someone,\n\nor let's say, *especially* if you've had a relationship with\nsomeone\n\nand you try to become friends afterwards, it's very difficult.\n\nIsn't this? It's hard. Because, you know each other so well,\nyou\n\nknow all of each others tricks. It's like two magicians, trying\nto entertain each other.\n\nThe one goes, \"Look, a rabbit.\"\n\nThe other goes, \"So? ...

Very few\n\ncrooks even go to the trouble to come up with a theme for\n\ntheir careers anymore. It makes them a lot tougher to spot.\n\n\"Did you lose a sony? It could be the Penguin...I think we can\n\nround him up, he's dressed like a PENGUIN! We can find him,\n\nhe's a PENGUIN!\n\n(The apartment on 83rd street.

This is what\nmen enjoy doing. Have you ever noticed\na guy's out in his driveway working\non\n\nsomething with tools, how all the other men in the neighborhood\nare magnetically drawn to this activity. They just come wandering\nout of the house like zombies.\n\nMen, it's true, men hear a drill, it's like a dog whistle. Just..\nyou know, they go running up to that living room curtain, \"Honey,\nI think Jim's working on something over\n\nthere.\" So they run over to the guy. Now they don't actually\nhelp the guy. No, they just want to hang around the area where\nwork is being done. That's what men\n\nwant to do. We want to watch the guy, we want to talk to him,\nwe want to ask him dumb questions. You know, \"What are you using,\nthe Philips head?\" You know,\n\nwe feel involved. That's why when they have construction sites,\nthey have to have those wood panel fences around it, that's just\nto keep the men out. They cut those\n\nlittle holes for us so we can see what the hell is going on.\nBut if they don't cut those holes - we are climbing those fences.\nRight over there. \"What are you using the\n\nsteel girders down there? Yeah, that'll hold.\"\n\n(Jerry's apartment building)\n\n(Jerry and George are waiting for the elevator)\n\nGEORGE\nI had to say something. I had to say\nsomething. Everything was going so well;\nI had to say something.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think you did anything wrong.\n\nGEORGE\nI told her I liked her. Why? Why did\nI tell her I like her? I have this sick\ncompulsion to tell women how I feel.\nI like you I don't tell you.\n\nJERRY\nWe can only thank God for that.\n\n(Elevator opens, they get on)\n\nGEORGE\nI'm outta the picture. I am outta the\npicture. (laughs) It's only a matter\nof time now.\n\nJERRY\nYou're imagining this. Really.\n\nGEORGE\nOh no. No, no, no, no.\n\n(elevator doors close)\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell you when it happened. When\nthat floss came flying out of my pocket.\n\nJERRY\nWhat floss? When?\n\nGEORGE\nWe were in the lobby during the intermission\nof the play. I was buying her one of\nthose containers of orange drink, for\nfive dollars. I reached into my\n\npocket to pay for it, I looked down; there's this piece of green\nfloss hanging from my fingers.\n\nJERRY\nAh, mint.\n\nGEORGE\nOf course. So, I'm looking at it, I\nlook up, I see she's looking at it.\nOur eyes lock. It was a horrible moment.\nI just..\n\n(eleveator doors open, they get off)\n\nJERRY\nSo let me get this straight: she saw\nthe floss, you panicked and you told\nher you liked her.\n\nGEORGE\nIf I didn't put that floss in my pocket,\nI'd be crawling around her bedroom right\nnow looking for my glasses.\n\nJERRY\nAnd you're sure the floss was the catalyst?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, I am.\n\nJERRY\n(looks at a carrying pouch George is\nwearing) You don't think it might've\nhad anything to do with that?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? You don't like this?\n\nJERRY\nIt looks like your belt is digesting\na small animal.\n\n(they go into Jerry's apartment to find Kramer talking on the\nphone)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, they've got a cure for cancer. See,\nit's all big business.. Oh hey, Jerry\njust walked in. Hi, George. (resumes\ntalking on the phone) Yeah, yeah yeah,\n\nyeah, take my number - 555-8643. Okay, here he is. (hands phone\nto Jerry.)\n\nJERRY\n(to Kramer) Who is it?\n\nKRAMER\nTake it.\n\nJERRY\nWho is it?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's for you.\n\nJERRY\n(into phone) Hello? Oh, hi Joel. (Jerry\nhits Kramer with a magazine.) .. No.\nI was out of town. I just got back..\nKramer doesn't know anything.. He's\njust\n\nmy next-door neighbor. Uh.. nothing much.. Tuesday? Uh, Tuesday,\nno. I'm meeting somebody.. Uh, Wednesday? Wednesday's okay..\nAlright. Uh, I'm a little busy\n\nright now. Can we talk Wednesday morning? .. Okay.. yeah.. right..\nthanks.. bye. (hangs up, then addresses Kramer) Why did you put\nme on the phone with him? I\n\nhate just being handed a phone.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's your phone. He wanted to\ntalk to you\n\nJERRY\nMaybe I didn't want to talk to him.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, why not?\n\nJERRY\nHe bothers me. I don't even answer the\nphone anymore because of him. He's turned\nme into a screener. Now I gotta go see\nhim on Wednesday.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do you mean Wednesday? I though\nwe had tickets to the Knick game Wednesday.\nWe got seats behind the bench! What\nhappened? We're not\n\ngoing?\n\nJERRY\nWe're going. That's next Wednesday.\n\nGEORGE\nOh. Who is this guy?\n\nJERRY\nHis name is Joel Horneck. He lived like\nthree houses down from me when I grew\nup. He had a Ping Pong table. We were\nfriends. Should I suffer the rest of\n\nmy life because I like to play Ping Pong? I was ten. I would've\nbeen friends with Stalin if he had a Ping Pong table.. he's so\nself-involved.\n\n(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)\n\nKRAMER\nThat's for me. (into phone) Kramerica\nIndustries.. Oh, hi, Mark.. No, no,\nno. Forget that. I got a better idea.\nA pizza place where you make your own\n\npie.\n\nJERRY\nCan you conduct your business elsewhere?\n\nKRAMER\n(ignoring Jerry) No, no, no. I'm talking\nabout a whole chain of 'em. Yeah. (Kramer\nleaves Jerry's apartment while still\non the phone.)\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know why you even bother with\nthis ping pong guy, I'll tell you that.\n\nJERRY\nI don't bother with him. He's been calling\nme for seven years. I've never called\nhim once! He's got the attention span\nof a five-year-old. Sometimes I sit\n\nthere and I make up things just to see if he's paying attention.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't understand why you spend time\nwith this guy.\n\nJERRY\nWhat can I do? Break up with him? Tell\nhim \"I Don't think we're right for each\nother..\" He's a guy. At least with a\nwoman, there's a precendent. You know,\n\nthe relationship goes sour, you end it.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no, no,no you have to approach this\nas if he was a woman.\n\nJERRY\nJust break up with him?\n\nGEORGE\nAbsolutely. You just tell him the truth.\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(Nightclub)\n\nJERRY\nAs a guy I don't know how I can break\nup with another guy. You know what I\nmean? I don't know how to say, \"Bill,\nI feel I need to see other men.\" Do\n\nyou know what I mean? There's nothing I can do. I have to wait\nfor someone to die. I think that's the only way out of this relationship.\nIt could be a long time. See,\n\nthe great thing about guys is that we can become friends based\non almost nothing. Just two guys will just become friends just\nbecause they're two guys. That's almost\n\nall we need to have in common. 'Cause sports - sports and women\n- is really all we talk about. If there was no sports and no\nwomen the only thing guys would ever\n\nsay is \"So, what's in the refrigerator?\"\n\n(Coffee Shop)\n\n(Jerry and Joel are sitting at a table)\n\nJOEL\n..so my shrink wants me to bring my\nmother in for a session. This guy is\na brilliant man.

I'm gonna do it\nis Farsi.\n\nJOEL\nDo you think I need a haircut?\n\n(waitress comes to their table)\n\nWAITRESS\nAre you ready?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I'll have the egg salad on whole\nwheat.\n\nJOEL\nLet me ask you a question. This, uh,\nthis turkey sandwich here, is that real\nturkey, or is it a turkey roll? I don't\nwant that processed turkey. I hate it.\n\nWAITRESS\nI think it's real turkey.\n\nJOEL\nIs there a real bird in the back?\n\nWAITRESS\nNo, there's not bird but-\n\nJOEL\nWell, how do you know for sure? Look,\nwhy don't you do me a favor. Why don't\nyou go in the back and find out, okay?\n\n(waitress leaves)\n\nJOEL\n(cont.) Unbelievable..\n\nJERRY\nHow can you talk to someone like that?\n\nJOEL\nWhat are you saying? What, you like\nturkey roll?\n\nJERRY\nListen, Joel. There's something I have\nto tell you.\n\nJOEL\nWait, you'll never guess who I ran into.\n\nJERRY AND JOEL\nHoward metro.\n\nJOEL\nHe asked me if I still saw you. I said,\n\"Sure, I see him all the time. We're\ngreat friends.\" Anyway, Howard says\nhello.\n\nJERRY\n..listen, Joel.. I don't think we should\nsee each other anymore.\n\nJOEL\nwhat?\n\nJERRY\nThis friendship.. it's not working.\n\nJOEL\nNot working? What are you talking about?\n\nJERRY\nWe're just not suited to be friends.\n\nJOEL\nHow can you say that?\n\nJERRY\nLook, you're a nice guy, it's just that\n- we don't have anything in common.\n\nJOEL\n(starting to cry) Wait. Wat did I do?\nTell me.. I want to know.\n\nJERRY\nYou didn't do anything. It's not you,\nit's me. It's.. this is very difficult.\n\nJOEL\nLook, I know I call you too much, right?\nI mean, I know you're a very busy guy.\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's not that.\n\nJOEL\n(crying) You're one of the few people\nI can talk to.\n\nJERRY\nOh, come on. That's not true.\n\nJOEL\nI always tell everybody about you; tell\neverybody to go see your show. I mean,\nI'm your biggest fan!\n\nJERRY\nI know, I know.\n\nJOEL\nI mean, you're my best friend.\n\nJERRY\nBest friend? I've never been to your\napartment.\n\nJOEL\nI cannot believe that this is happening.\nI can't believe it.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, okay. Forget it. It's okay. Id\ndidn't mean it.\n\nJOEL\nDidn't mean what?\n\nJERRY\nWhat I said. I've been under a lot of\nstress.\n\nJOEL\nOh, you've been under a lot of stress.\n\nJERRY\nJust, can we just forget the whole thing\never happend? I'm sorry. I din't mean\nit. I took it out on you. We're still\nfriends. We're still friends. Still\nfriends.\n\nOkay? Look, I'll tell you what. I've got Knick tickets this Wednesday.\nGreat seats behind the bench. You want to come with me? Come\non.\n\nJOEL\nTonight?\n\nJERRY\nNo, next Wednesday. If it was tonight,\nI would've said tonight.\n\nJOEL\nDo you really want me to go?\n\nJERRY\n(faking) Yes.\n\nJOEL\nOkay. yeah, okay. Great! That would\nbe, that'd be great.. so, next Wednesday.\n\nJERRY\nNext Wednesday.\n\nJOEL\nWhere is that waitress?! Hey! ..\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(Bank)\n\n(Jerry is at the counter, filling out a slip; George is carrying\na jug full of pennies.)\n\nGEORGE\n..she calls me up at my office, she\nsays, \"We have to talk.\"\n\nJERRY\nUh, the four worst words in the English\nlanguage.\n\nGEORGE\nThat, or \"Who's bra is this?\"\n\nJERRY\nThat is worse.\n\nGEORGE\nSo we order lunch, and we're talking.\nFinally, she blurts out how it's \"not\nworking\".\n\nJERRY\nReally.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, I'm thinking, as she's saying this,\nI'm thinking: great, the relationship's\nover. But the egg salad's on the way.\nSo now I have a decision - do I walk\nor\n\ndo I eat?\n\nJERRY\nHm? You ate.\n\nGEORGE\nWe sat there for twenty minutes, chewing,\nstaring at each other in a defunct relationship.\n\nJERRY\nSomeone says, \"Get out of my life!\"\nand that doesn't affect your appetite?\n\nGEORGE\nHave you ever had their egg salad?\n\nJERRY\nIt is unbelievable.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's unbelievable. You know what else\nis unbelievable? I picked up the check.\nShe didn't even offer. She ended it.\nThe least she could do is send me off\n\nwith a sandwich.\n\nJERRY\n(looking at George's penny jug) How\nmuch could you possibly have in there?\nGEORGE: It's my money. What should I\ndo? Throw it out the window? I\n\nknow guy who took his vacation on change.\n\nJERRY\nYeah? Where'd he go? To and arcade?\n\nGEORGE\n(sarcastic) That's funny. You're a funny\nguy.\n\nJERRY\nC'mon, move up.\n\n(George moves up in the bank line)\n\nCUSTOMER\nOh great, Ewing's hurt.\n\nGEORGE\nEwing's hurt? How long is he going to\nbe out?\n\nCUSTOMER\nA couple of days at the most but..\n\nGEORGE\nGeez.\n\nJERRY\nOh, God.\n\nGEORGE\nI got scared there for a second.

It was horrible.\n\nGOERGE\nOh, c'mon, Jerry. I can't believe this.\n\nJERRY\nI had to do it.\n\n(George is up to the teller, Jerry goes to another one.)\n\nGEORGE\nOh, please.

What, should I quit my job?!\n\n(Scene ends.)\n\n(Nightclub)\n\nJERRY\nI do not like the bank. I've heard the\nexpression \"Laughing all the way to\nthe bank.\" I have never seen anyone\nactually doing it. And those bank lines.\nI hate\n\nit when there's nobody on the line at all, you know that part,\nyou go to the bank, it's empty and you still have to go through\nthe little maze. \"Can you get a little piece\n\nof cheese for me?

In fact,\nlet me call his machine now and I'll\njust make up some excuse why I can't\ngo to the game either.\n\nGEORGE\nWait a minute. Wait a minute. As long\nas you're going to lie to the guy, why\ndon't you tell him that you lost both\nof the tickets, then we could go?\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, the man wept.\n\n(Kramer enters.)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey guys.

It's not going to change even if\nyou go from the red sun of Krypton all\n\nthe way to the yellow sun of the Earth.\n\nJERRY\nWhy? Why would that one area of his\nmind not be affected by the yellow sun\nof Earth?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know but he ain't funny.\n\n(Elaine joins them, they check their watches.)\n\nELAINE\nI know, I know. I'm sorry I'm late.\n\nJERRY\nNo problem.\n\nELAINE\nI dropped a grape.\n\nGEORGE\nPardon?\n\nELAINE\nI dropped a grape in the kitchen and\nit disappeared. I couldn't find it.\nI was... I was literally on my knees\nfor ten minutes looking for this stupid\ngrape. I\n\nhave no idea where it went.\n\nJERRY\nWere you crying? I mean, it's just a\ngrape. You'll find it.\n\nELAINE\nNo, I'm just getting over an allergy\nattack. This guy I'm going out with\n-\n\nJERRY\nRobert.\n\nELAINE\nRobert. Yes.. thank you. He has two\ncats and I'm allergic to them. You know,\nI finally meet a normal man, and I can't\neven go into his apartment, you\n\nknow. And, of course, my apartment is the actor's studio so we\ncan't go there. It's really causing a lot of problems, you know.\nHe won't even go away fro the\n\nweekend because of these cats.\n\nGEORGE\nGuys with cats.. I don't know.\n\nJERRY\nI've been thinking about asking this\ngirl I'm, uh, seeing -\n\nELAINE\nVanessa.\n\nJERRY\nVanessa, thank you.. I've been thinking\nabout asking her to go away for a couple\nof days.\n\nGEORGE\nOh no. No, no,no,no,no. I'd have to\nadvise against that. What do you know\nthis woman, a month? Let's see, you're\ngoing to be with her seventy-two\n\nhours. That's a dating decathlon.\n\nELAINE\n(balancing a spoon on her nose) Hey,\nwhy don't you take her to that place\nin Vermont I was telling you about?\nYou know, that really charming place\nwith\n\nthe separate faucets for the hot and cold. She'll love it.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Elaine) That's exquisite. Listen,\nuh, if it's not too much trouble, could\nyou pass me that paper over there?\n\n(Elaine gets the paper, he starts flipping through it.)\n\nJERRY\nYou better find that grape before it\nmutates into another life form. (Elaine\nlaughs) There was once a mutant grape\nthat terrorized an entire town in the\nTexas\n\npanhandle. They brought in the army, nobody could stop it. Apparently\nit had a pit of steel.\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) Up again?! This is incredible.\nI'm.. I'm getting it.\n\nELAINE\nYou're getting what?\n\nGEORGE\nA stock.\n\nJERRY\nWhat stock?\n\nGEORGE\nDid you ever meet my friend, Simons?\n\nJERRY\nMaybe.\n\nGOERGE\nHe knows this guy, Wilkinson. He made\na fortune in the stock market. Now he's\ngot some new thing - you know, there's\nsupposed to be a big merger.\n\nHe wasn't even supposed to say anything. You guys should think\nabout doing this too.\n\nJERRY\nHow high's it suppose to go?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. But Simons said that if\nI wanted to get involved, that Wilkinson\nwould tell me the exact right minute\nto sell. You wanna do it?\n\nJERRY\nBoy.. I don't know.\n\nELAINE\nI'd do it but I don't have any money.\n\nJERRY\nWhat kind of company is it?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's Sendrax. They've got some new kind\nof technique for televising opera.\n\nELAINE\nTelevising opera?\n\nGEORGE\nSome sort of electronic thingy.\n\nJERRY\nWell, how much are you going to invest?\n\nGEORGE\n(Unsure) Five thousand.. ten. Ten thousand..\nFive thousand.\n\nJERRY\nBoy..\n\nGEORGE\nC'mon. Wilkinson's got millions invested\nin this stock. It's gone up three points\nsince I've been watching it.\n\nJERRY\nWhat if I lose it?\n\nGEORGE\nC'mon, go for twenty-five hundred. We'll\ndo it together. Come on, come on. We're\nin it together.\n\nJERRY\n(gives in) All right -- twenty-five\nhundred.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's it.\n\n(Waitress arrives)\n\nWAITRESS\nYeah, can I take your order?\n\nGEORGE\n(Gesturing to Jerry) Check the raiser.\n\nJERRY\nMy bet? All right.. I'll open with a\ntuna sandwich.\n\nELAINE\nTuna?\n\nJERRY\nOh, the dolphin thing?\n\nELAINE\nThey're dying in the nets.\n\nJERRY\nOoohhh.. You know, the whole concept\nof lunch is based on tuna.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, can't you incorporate one unselfish\nact in your daily routine?\n\nJERRY\nHey, when I'm driving, I let people\nin ahead of me all the time. I'm always\nwaving everybody in. \"Go ahead, go ahead,\ngo ahead.\" ..Alright.. alright. I'll\nhave\n\na chicken salad.\n\nELAINE\nAnd I'm going to have an English muffin\nwith margarine on the side and a cup\nof coffee.\n\nWAITRESS\nOkay. (To George) What about you?\n\nGEORGE\nI'll have the tuna.\n\n(Scene ends.)\n\n(A Korean Market)\n\nJERRY\nI have to say. Those people talking\nbehind us really ruined that movie for\nme.\n\nVANESSA\nWhy didn't you do something?\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you want me to do? I have the\nguy the half-turn. Then I have him the\nfull-turn with the eye roll! I mean,\nbeyond that, I'm risking a punch in\nthe\n\nmouth.. (To a stock boy) Excuse me, do you have these in the\npuffs?\n\nSTOCK BOY\nNo puffs. Just flakes.\n\nJERRY\nHave you thought any more about that\ntrip?\n\nVANESSA\nYeah, I've been thinking about it.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, my friend told me about this\ngreat place in Vermont.\n\nVANESSA\nI don't know. I just worry about trips\nlike this.. It's a lot of pressure.\n\nJERRY\nIt's great! It speeds up the intimacy\nlevel. It's like putting the relationship\nin a time compressor. Where we would\nbe six months from now we accomplish\n\n(snaps) three days.\n\nVANESSA\nOh, so you want to move our relationship\ninto Phase Two..?\n\nJERRY\nExactly. I love Phase Two. Extra toothbrushes,\nincreased call frequency, walking around\nnaked.. You know, the presents get a\nlot better in Phase Two.\n\nVANESSA\n(Starting to like the idea) Really?\nCould we go fishing up there?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. We can fish. What? Blues, carp,\nmarlin?\n\nVANESSA\nThey have marlin in Vermont?\n\nJERRY\nOh, big fighting marlin.\n\n(Jerry picks up a paper)\n\nVANESSA\nJerry, the stock is the same as when\nyou checked it earlier. There are no\nchanges after the market closes. The\nstock is still down.\n\nJERRY\nI know. But this is a different paper.\nI thought maybe they have, uh, different..\nsources.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment. Jerry's looking at a road map; Kramer is\nlooking at the paper)\n\nJERRY\nIs that my paper?\n\nKRAMER\nBad news, my friend.\n\nJERRY\nWhat? What news?\n\nKRAMER\nSendrax.\n\nJERRY\nOh, c'mon! It's down again?!\n\nKRAMER\nTwo and a half points.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I can't believe it. Let me see that.\n(Looks at the paper) That's four and\na half points in three days! That's\nalmost half my money!\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I told ya.\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastic) Yeah, you told me.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's all manipulated with junk bonds.\nYou can't win.\n\nJERRY\n(Holding the phone, calling George)\nThere's one thing I don't understand.\nWhy does it please you? (Into phone)\nGeorge Costanza, please.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I don't care. I'm just telling\nyou to (yelling) get rid of that stock,\nnow!\n\nJERRY\n(Into phone) George, what's going on?!\n\nKRAMER\nSell it, just say I'm selling!\n\nJERRY\n(Into phone) Well, where is the guy?!\nNothing? Almost half my money's gone..\nWell, call me right back. (Hangs up)\nNobody can reach Wilkinson. He\n\nhasn't been home or in his office in the past three days!\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, I can't believe you put your\nmoney in that Sendrax. And you could've\ninvested in my roll-out tie dispenser.\n\nJERRY\nRoll-out tie dispenser? What was that\none?\n\nKRAMER\nOkay, you're in a restaurant. You've\ngot a very big meeting coming up.\n\nJERRY\nOkay.\n\nKRAMER\nYou just (makes noise) tear it off,\nand you got a new one right here. Then\nyou're gone.\n\nJERRY\nYou're gone alright.\n\nKRAMER\n(Looking at map) Hey, where.. where\nare you going? You gonna take a trip?\nThe map.. what..\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I'm going to Vermont with Vanessa\nfor a few days.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, can I use your place? I got a bunch\nof friends coming over this weekend.\n\nJERRY\nWhat friends?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's just some people I met at\na rock concert.\n\n(Phone rings)\n\nKRAMER\nDo you mind if they use your bed? (Jerry\ngive him a look) 'Cause they're really\ngood people, Jerry. I'm telling you.\nYou know, they're anarchists.\n\nThey're.. they're.. they're.. huge.\n\n(Jerry answers phone)\n\nJERRY\nGeorge.. what?! You're kidding.. Well,\nwhat's wrong?.. So, what are we gonna\ndo?.. Great! Alright, I'll speak to\nyou later. (Hangs up) Wilkinson, the\nguy\n\nwho's supposed to tell us when to sell the stock, he's in the\nhospital.\n\n(Kramer has a pleased reaction on his face)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Dry-Cleaning store; Jerry and George are in line)\n\nJERRY\nSo you don't know what's wrong with\nhim?\n\nGEORGE\nAll Simons was able to find out is that\nhe's in the hospital.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, fine. Has Simons been in touch\nwith him?\n\nGEORGE\nOf course he's been in touch with him.\nHe's left two messages. He just hasn't\nheard back yet, that's all.\n\nJERRY\nWell, this is it. I'm selling.\n\nGEORGE\nJust give it a little more time.\n\nJERRY\nI never should've gotten involved in\nthis. I'm a nervous wreck. I\"m not cut\nout for investing.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, alright. That's it. I'm gonna\ngo down there.\n\nJERRY\nWhere?\n\nGEORGE\nTo the hospital.\n\nJERRY\nThe hospital?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm going to find out what's going on.\nAlright?\n\nJERRY\nAre you nuts? You don't even know they\nguy.\n\nGEORGE\nSo what? I'll start talking to him,\nyou know, casual, and I'll work my way\naround to it.\n\nJERRY\nWhat if he's in an iron lung or something?\nWhat are you gonna do? (knocking on\nglass) \"How you feeling, Mr. Wilkinson?\n(makes hissing sound) By the\n\nway, what's happening with Sendrax?\"\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe he's resting.\n\nJERRY\nWho goes to the hospital to rest?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you, a doctor?\n\nJERRY\nOkay, fine, fine. When are you going\ndown there?\n\nGEORGE\nToday. I'm going today. Just don't do\nanything until you hear from me.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\n(Jerry moves up in line, a woman takes his place. George didn't\nnotice)\n\nGEORGE\n(To woman, thinking she's Jerry) Boy,\nI have to get to a bathroom.\n\n(Woman gives him a look)\n\nDRY CLEANER\nMay I help you?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. I picked up this shirt here yesterday.\nIt's completely shrunk. There's absolutely\nno way I can wear it.\n\nDRY CLEANER\nWhen did you bring it in?\n\nJERRY\nWhat's the difference? Look at it! Do\nyou see the size of this shirt?!\n\nDRY CLEANER\nYou got a receipt?\n\nJERRY\nI can't find the receipt.\n\nDRY CLEANER\nYou should get the receipt.\n\nJERRY\nLook, forget about the receipt, all\nright? Even if I had the receipt- look\nat it! It's a hand puppet. What am I\ngonna do with this?!\n\nDRY CLEANER\nYes, but how do I know we did the shirt?\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you think this is a little scam\nI have? I take this tiny shirt all over\nthe city conning dry cleaners out of\nmoney?! In fact, forget the money. I\ndon't even\n\nwant the money. I just once, I would like to hear a dry cleaner\nadmit that something was their fault. That's what I want. I want\nan admission of guilt.\n\nDRY CLEANER\nMaybe you asked for it to be washed?\n\nJERRY\nNo.. dry-cleaned.\n\nDRY CLEANER\nLet me explain to you something. Okay?\nWith certain types of fabrics, different\nchemicals can react, causing..\n\nJERRY\n(Interrupting) You shrunk it! You know\nyou shrunk it! Just tell me that you\nshrunk it!\n\nDRY CLEANER\nI shrunk it.\n\n(Scene ends.)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nI think the only reason we go to the\ndry cleaner is so I can say to the dry\ncleaner, \"Well, it's ruined.\" And of\ncourse, the dry cleaner can respond,\n\"It's not\n\nour fault. We're not responsible. We just ruin the clothes. That\nends our legal obligation.\" You see, the whole problem with dry\ncleaning is that we all believe that this\n\nis actually possible. Right? They're cleaning our clothes - but\nthey're not getting anything wet. It's all dry. I know there's\ngotta be some liquids back there, some fluids\n\nthat they're using. There's no such thing as dry cleaning. When\nyou get something on your shirt, ever get something on your shirt\nand try to get it off like that (brushes\n\nshirt) - that's dry cleaning. I don't think that's what they're\ndoing back there. They don't have eighty guys going (with imaginary\nbrush) \"Come on, hurry up! There's a\n\nlot of shirts today.\"\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Elaine sneezes)\n\nJERRY\nBless you.\n\nELAINE\nThank you. What evidence is there that\ncats are so smart, anyway? Huh? What\ndo they do? Because they're clean? I\nam sorry. My Uncle Pete showers\n\nfour times a day and he can't count to ten. So don't give me\nhygiene.\n\nJERRY\nSo what are you gonna do?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know. I can't think of any solution,\nunless of course they should meet with\nsome unfortunate accident. What do you\nthink a hit man would charge to\n\nrub out a couple of cats?\n\nJERRY\nWell, it couldn't be too expensive.\nThirteen, fourteen bucks a cat?\n\nELAINE\nWhat do you think, Jerry? You wanna\nmake twenty-eight bucks?\n\nJERRY\nI'm no cat killer.\n\nELAINE\nHow about we go over there right now\nand we shave them?\n\nJERRY\nI'd really like to go, Elaine. But,\nGeorge is coming back from the hospital.\nI gotta wait for him. But otherwise\nI would definitely go.\n\nELAINE\nHe actually wen to the hospital?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nOh man, he's nuts.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, he's nuts. You wanta bump off\na couple of cats. (Enter Kramer, holding\na paper) I know, I know. It's down again.\n\nKRAMER\nHow much are you down altogether?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know.. fifteen hundred dollars.\n\nKRAMER\nWow.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't have to say \"Wow.\" I know\nit's \"Wow.\" And there's that smile again.\nWell, what is that?\n\n(Intercom buzzes)\n\nJERRY\nIt's George. (Presses button to let\nGeorge in.)\n\n(Elaine goes into the bathroom; kramer picks up some binoculars\nand looks ou the window)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, look at this one by the bus stop.\nJerry, come here. Take a look at this.\n\nJERRY\nI really don't need to look.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat a body. Yeeaahh.. that's for me.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, and you're just what she's looking\nfor too - a stranger leering through\na pair of binoculars ten floors up.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm gonna go down there and try and\ntalk to her. (leaves)\n\n(Enter George; he flops onto the couch)\n\nJERRY\nWhat? What? Did you go down there? (George\nnods) Did he tell you what's gonna happen?\n(George shakes his head \"no\".) How long\nwere you there?\n\nGEORGE\nFifteen seconds.\n\nJERRY\nYou told him you knew Simons?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I mentioned Simons. Next thing\nI know - I'm in the parking lot. Perhaps\nthey had some sort of a falling out.\nI'll tell you one thing.. I don't know\n\nwhat he's got. But for a sick guy, he's very strong.\n\n(Elaine exits bathroom)\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's it. Look, I'm going to\nVermont. I don't want to think about\nthis. I'm selling.\n\nELAINE\nDidn't work, huh?\n\nGEORGE\n(Laughs) Not quite.\n\nELAINE\nWell, what are you gonna do about the\nstock?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm keeping it. I'm going down with\nthe ship.\n\n(Scene ends.)\n\n(Country Inn)\n\nJERRY\nSo I know this guy. I'm getting all\nmy sneakers at a discount now.\n\nVANESSA\nI know. You mentioned it.\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah, right. (To himself) Oh God.\nGet me out of here. What a mistake.\nWhat made me think this would work?\nAnd I've still got another day! I've\ngot\n\nnothing left to say. Wait.. wait.. got one. (To Vanessa) That's\na nice watch. Do you wind it?\n\nVANESSA\nNo, it's got a little battery.\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's good. (To himself) Well,\nthe drive home should be a delight.\nI'm speeding the whole way. Let them\nthrow me in jail. I don't care. (To\nVanessa)\n\nThat' the manager? Do you wnat me to see if we can get another\nroom?\n\nVANESSA\nNo, it's okay.\n\nJERRY\nSo, I guess you don't find the separate\nfaucets for the hot and cold - charming?\n\nVANESSA\nNot especially.\n\nJERRY\nWell, what do you wnat to do this afternoon?\n\nVANESSA\nWhat can we do? It's raining.\n\nJERRY\nWe cold play \"Sorry!\" We cold play \"Steal\nthe Old Man's Bundle.\" (To himself)\nMaybe I can get an extension cord and\nhang myself. (To Vanessa) What\n\nkind of perfume is that you're wearing?\n\nVANESSA\nOh, you've never heard of it.\n\nJERRY\nNo, what? What kind is it?\n\nVANESSA\nI can't tell you.\n\nJERRY\n(To himself) Yeah, that's normal. (Out\nloud, to a man nearby) Excuse me, Sir.\nCould I have a look at that business\nsection?\n\nVANESSA\nThat stock? I thought you got out of\nthat?\n\nJERRY\nI did. I'm just curious. It's been almost\na week. I want to check it out. (finds\nstock) Six points. It's up six points!\n\nVANESSA\nI told you not to sell.\n\nJERRY\nYou did not tell me not to sell.\n\nVANESSA\nI said, the market fluctuates. Remember?\n\nJERRY\nLook, Vanessa, of course the market\nfluctuates. Everybody knows that. I\njust got fluctuated out of four thousand\ndollars!\n\nVANESSA\nThat's probably why.. (stops herself)\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nVANESSA\nForget it.\n\nJERRY\nNo, what? 'That's probably why..'\n\nVANESSA\nThat's probably why we're staying here,\nbecause you lost money on the stock.\n\nJERRY\n(To himself) So, what am I looking at\nhere? Twenty=nine hours to go. Well,\nat least I got plenty of time to find\nout the name of that purfume..\n\n(Scene ends.)\n\n(Coffee shop)\n\nGEORGE\nHave something else. C'mon, have a little\ndessert?\n\nJERRY\nI'm good, thanks.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine, get something! It's all taken\ncare of.\n\nELAINE\nI'm kinda full.\n\nGEORGE\nSo don't finish it.\n\nJERRY\n(acidly) She's full. (George puts up\nhis hands in an \"excuse me\" gesture.)\nSo, Big daddy. I'm just curious. How\nmuch did you clear on your little trasaction\n\nthere? All told?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't like to discuss figures.\n\nJERRY\nHow much?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know, what? Eight thousand.\nIt's a Hyundai. Get out of here.. I\ntold you not to sell. Simons made money,\nWilkinson cleaned up.\n\nJERRY\nSo, Wilkinson's out of the hospital\nnow?\n\nGEORGE\nNo. You'd be surprised. You don't recover\nthat quickly from a nose job.\n\n(Elaine sneezes)\n\nJERRY\nIs taht still from the cats?\n\nELAINE\nNo, I just have a cold.\n\nJERRY\nSo, what ever happened with that?\n\nELAINE\nI gave him an ultimatum. (Shrugs)\n\nGEORGE\nHe chose the cats?\n\nELAINE\nThey're very clean animals.\n\nJERRY\nI gotta say, that's pretty sad. Losing\nout to a cat.\n\nELAINE\nAlmost as bad as losing out to a perfume.\n\nGEORGE\nI told you those trips were relationship\nkillers. Too bad you can't get your\nbuddy Superman to fly around the Earth\nat super speed and reverse time.\n\nYou'd get all the money back - you could have avoided the whole\ntrip to Vermont.\n\nELAINE\nSuperman can go back in time?\n\nJERRY\nWe went over that.\n\nGEORGE\nWilkinson's got a bite on a new one..\nPetramco Corp. Out of, hu, Springfield.\nI think. They're about to introduce\nsome sort of robot butcher.\n\nJERRY\nA robot butcher?\n\nGOERGE\nShhhhh. If you want to get in - there's\nvery little time. (Calling to waitress)\nSweetheart.. (Waitress tears of check,\nGeorge stops her) No, no, no. That'\n\nought to coever it. (He hands her some money, she turns to leave,\nGeorge stops her) Just a second.. Just a.. let me.. (looks at\nthe check, then take some money out\n\nof her hand.) (Urging Jerry and Elaine to eat) Come on, come\non, come on..\n\n(Scene ends.)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nI'm not an investor. People always tell\nme, you should have your money working\nfor you. I've decided I'll do the work.\nI'm gonna let the money relax. You\n\nknow what I mean? 'Cause you send your money out there - working\nfor you - a lot of times, it gets fired. You go back there, \"What\nhappened? I had my money. It\n\nwas here, it was working for me.\" \"Yeah, I remember your money.\nShowing up late. Taking time off.

I have\nno stomach for these things.\n\nJERRY\nYou should just do it like a Band-Aid.\nOne motion! Right off!\n\n(Car door opens, it's Elaine)\n\nELAINE\nHi.\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\n(George pulls his seat forward to allow Elaine into the back\nseats)\n\nELAINE\nHey, what are you doing?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm letting you in.\n\nELAINE\nOh no. No. I don't want to sit in the\nback. I'll be left out of the conversation.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, you won't.\n\nELAINE\nYes, I will, George. I'll have to sick\nmy chin on top of the seat.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay..\n\n(George gets out, and gestures for Elaine to sit in the seat)\n\nELAINE\nWhy can't you sit in the middle?\n\nGEORGE\nPlease, it doesn't look good. Boy, boy,\ngirl.\n\nELAINE\nI think you're afraid to sit next to\na man. You're a little homophobic, aren't\nyou?\n\nGEORGE\nIs it that obvious?\n\n(Elaine sits in the middle)\n\nELAINE\nHello, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHello.\n\nELAINE\nDid you get a haircut?\n\nJERRY\nNo, shower. So, where are we eating?\n\nELAINE\nTell me if you think this is strange:\nThere's this guy who lives in my building,\nwho I was introduced to a couple of\nyears ago by a friend. He's a teacher,\nor\n\nsomething. Anyway, after we met, whenever we'd run into each\nother on the street, or in the lobby, or whatever, we would stop\nand we would chat a little.. Nothing\n\nmuch. Little pleasantries. He was a nice guy, he's got a family..\nthen after a while, I noticed there was not more stopping. Just\nsaying hello and continuing on our way.\n\npolite nodding. Then one day, he doesn't nod. Like I don't exist?!\nHe went from nods to nothing.\n\nGEORGE\n(imitating Tony Bennett) \"You know,\nI'd go from nods to nothing..\"\n\nELAINE\nAnd now, there's this intense animosity\nwhenever we passs. I mean, it's like\nwe really hate each other. It's based\non nothing.\n\nJERRY\nA relationship is an organism. You created\nthis thing and then you starved it so\nit turned against you. Same thing happened\nto The Blob.\n\nGEORGE\nI think you absolutely have to say something\nto this guy. Confront him.\n\nELAINE\nReally?\n\nGEORGE\nYes.\n\nELAINE\nYou would do that?\n\nGEORGE\nIf I was a different person.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment; Jerry's on the phone)\n\nJERRY\nHello.. hello. Is Glenn there? I'm sorry.\nIs this 805-555-3234?.. Yes, I know\nI have the wrong number. But I just\nwant to know if I dialed wrong or if..\n\n(Other guy hangs up on Jerry; he redials; enter Kramer)\n\n(The buzzer buzzes; Kramer answers it)\n\nKRAMER\nCome on up.\n\nJERRY\n(Into phone) Oh, it's you again. See?\nNow if you had answered me, I wouldn't\nhave had to do this. Now that's too\nlong distance calls I made to you why\n\ncan't you.. (guy hangs up on Jerry again). (To Kramer) Why? Why\ndo they just hang up like that?! Thank you very much.\n\n(Kramer holds up cantaloupe)\n\nKRAMER\nTaste this.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I just had a sandwich.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, taste it. Taste it.\n\nJERRY\nI don't want cantaloupe now.\n\nKRAMER\nYou've never had cantaloupe like this\nbefore.\n\nJERRY\nI only eat cantaloupe at certain times.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry. This is great cantaloupe.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.. (tastes it)\n\nKRAMER\nAh, huh. It's good?\n\nJERRY\nIt's very good.\n\nKRAMER\nGood, huh?\n\nJERRY\nGood.\n\nKRAMER\nI got it at Joe's.\n\nJERRY\nUh-Huh.\n\nKRAMER\nForty-nine cents a pound. That's practically\nhalf than what you're paying at the\nsupermarket. I don't know why you don't\ngo to Joe's.\n\nJERRY\nIt's too far.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's three blocks further. You can use\nmy shopping cart..\n\nJERRY\nI'm not pulling a shopping cart. What\nam I suppose to wear? A kerchief? Put\nstockings on and roll 'em down below\nmy knee?\n\nKRAMER\nSee, the other thing is, if you don't\nlike anything, he takes it right back.\n\nJERRY\nI don't return fruit. Fruit is a gamble.\nI know that going in.\n\n(Enter George; he's extremely excited - he's dancing around the\nroom, singing the Zorba theme)\n\nGEORGE\nI'm outta there. I did it! It's over.\n\nJERRY\nYou did it? What happened?\n\nGEORGE\nI told her. In the kitchen - which was\nrisky 'cause it's near all the knives.\nI started with the word \"Listen.\"\n\nJERRY\nAh ha.\n\nGEORGE\nI said, \"Listen Marlene,\" and then the\nnext thing I know, I'm in the middle\nof it. And there's this voice inside\nof me going: \"You're doing it! You're\ndoing\n\nit!\" And then she started to cry, and I weakened a bit. I almost\nrelented, but the voice, Jerry. The voice said \"Keep going, keep\ngoing. You're almost out!\" It's like I\n\nwas making a prison break, you know. And I'm heading for the\nwall, and I trip and I twist my ankle, and they throw the light\non you, you know. So, somehow I get\n\nthe front door. I opened it up, I'm one foot away, I took one\nlast look around the penitentiary, and I jumped!\n\nJERRY\nSee, it's never as bad as you imagine.\n\nKRAMER\nI liked Marlene. What's her number?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I, I don't think so.\n\n(Kramer stants making noises while eating)\n\nJERRY\nCould you stop that smacking?\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge, I want you to taste this cantaloupe.\n\nGEORGE\nOh no, thank you.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's the best cantaloupe I ever had.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, really. No, no, thanks.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, tell him how good this cantaloupe\nis.\n\nJERRY\nIt's very good cantaloupe. (changing\nsubject) So that's it? You're out?\n\nGEORGE\nExcept for one small problem. I left\nsome books in her apartment.\n\nJERRY\nSo, go get them.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no. No, I can't go back there. Jerry,\nit's so awkward and, you know, it could\nbe dangerous - sexually. Something could\nhappen, I'd be right back\n\nwhere I started.\n\nJERRY\nSo forget about the books. Did you read\nthem?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, yeah.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you need them for?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. They're books.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is this obsession people have with\nbooks? They put them in their houses\n- like they're trophies. What do you\nneed it for after you read it?\n\nGEORGE\nThey're MY books.\n\nJERRY\nSo you want me to get those books? Is\nthat it?\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Coffee Shop)\n\n(Jerry and Marlene are sitting, a pile of books are on the table.)\n\nMARLENE\n..So, it must've been ninety-five degrees\nthat night, and everyone's just standing\naround the pool with little drinks in\ntheir hands. I was wearing my old\n\njeans and T-shirt. And I don't know, I was just in one of those\nmoods - so I said to myself, \"Marlene, just do it,\" and I jumped\nin. And as I'm getting out, I feel all\n\nthese eyes on me, and I look up and everyone is just staring\nat me.\n\nJERRY\nSo what'd you do?\n\nMARLENE\nWell, nothing. It's not skin off my\nhide if people like to look. I just\ndidn't see what the big attraction was.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I have a general idea what it\nwas. I could take a guess.\n\nMARLENE\n(Laughs) Hey, you know, Jerry, just\nbecause George and I don't see each\nother anymore, it doesn't mean we shouldn't\nstay friends.\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nMARLENE\nGood enough. I'm really glad we got\nthat settled.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Chiropractor waiting room)\n\nJERRY\n(Irritated) I don't know how this happened.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, it's not my fault.\n\nJERRY\nNo, no. It's not your fault. Books,\nbooks, I need my books. Have you re-read\nthose books yet, by the way? You know\nthe great thing? When you read\n\nMoby Dick the second time, Ahab and the whale become good friends.\nYou know, it's not like Marlene's a bad person or anything, but,\nmy God! I mean, we've\n\nhad like three lunches and a movie. And she never stops calling.\n(George nods - he knows exactly what Jerry's talking about) And\nit's these meaningless,\n\npurposeless, blather calls. She never asks if I'm busy or anything.\nI just pick up the phone and she's in the middle of a sentence.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's standard. Has she left you one\nof those messages where she uses up\nthe whole machine?\n\nJERRY\nOhh.. you know, and sometimes she'll\ngo, \"Hello, Jerry?\" and I'll go \"Oh,\nhi Marlene.\" And then it's \"Jerry..\"\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about getting off the phone?\n\nJERRY\nOhhhh.. you can't. It's impossible.\nThere's no break in the conversation\nwhere you can go, \"Alright, then.. \"\nYou know, it just goes on and on and\non with\n\nout a break in the wall. I mean, I gotta put a stop to this.\n\nGEORGE\nJust do it like a Band-Aid. One motion,\nright off! She is sexy though. Don't\nyou think?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Yes, she is.\n\n(Receptionist enters)\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nMr. Costanza?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nThe doctor'll see you now.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Jerry, sarcastically) Yeah, doctor.\nI'm going to have to wait in that little\nroom by myself, aren't I? (Picks up\na crossword puzzle) I better take this.\nI\n\nhate the little room. \"Oh, hello, Doctor.\"\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nWaiting room. I hate when they make\nyou wait in the room. 'Cause it says\n\"Waiting room.\" There's no chance of\nnot waiting, 'cause they call it the\nwaiting\n\nroom, they're going to use it. They've got it. It's all set up\nfor you to wait. And you sit there, you know, and you've got\nyour little magazine. You pretend you're\n\nreading it, but you're really looking at the other people. You\nknow, you're thinking about about them things like \"I wonder\nwhat he's got. As soon as she goes, I'm\n\ngetting her magazine.\" And then, they finally call you and it's\na very exciting moment. They finally call you, and you stand\nup and you kinda look around at the other\n\npeople in the room. \"Well, I guess I've been chosen. I'll see\nyou all later.\" You know, so you think you're going to see the\ndoctor, but you're not, are you? No.\n\nYou're going into the next waiting room. The littler waiting\nroom. But if they are, you know, doing some sort of medical thing\nto you, you want to be in the smallest\n\nroom that they have, I think. You don't wnat to be in the largest\nroom that they have. You know what I mean? You ever see these\noperating theaters, that they have,\n\nwith like, stadium seating? You don't want them doing antying\nto you that makes other doctors go, \"I have to see this!\" \"Are\nyou kidding? Are they really gonna do\n\nthat to him?\" \"Are there seats? Can we get in?\" Do they scalp\ntickets to these things? \"I got two for the Winslow tumor, I\ngot two..\"\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Waiting room)\n\n(George returns)\n\nJERRY\nSo, how was it?\n\nGEORGE\nI was in there for two minutes. He didn't\ndo anything. (Imitating doctor) Touch\nthis, feel that. Seventy-five bucks.\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's a first visit.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's seventy-five bucks? What, am\nI seeing Sinatra in there?! Amd I being\nentertained? I don't understand this.\nI'm only paying half.\n\nJERRY\nYou can't do that.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nJERRY\nHe's a doctor. You gotta pay what he\nsays.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no, no, no. I pay what I say.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's car)\n\nMARLENE\nAre you feeling weird?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm fine.\n\nMARLENE\nNothing really happened.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I know.\n\nMARLENE\nWe just kissed a little. People kiss.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nMARLENE\nWell.. night.\n\n(Leans over and kisses Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nGood night.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Kramer enters with a golf club)\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nI got it! This time, I got it!\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nKRAMER\nHips! See, it's all hips.\n\nJERRY\nUh-huh.\n\nKRAMER\nYou gotta come through with the hips\nfirst. (Demonstrates)\n\nJERRY\nThat is out there.\n\n(Kramer notices Jerry's eating cantaloupe, his eyes light up)\n\nKRAMER\nJoe's?\n\nJERRY\nNo, supermarket.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, is it good?\n\nJERRY\nIt's okay.\n\nKRAMER\nLet me taste it. (Takes a bite, spits\nit out) See, that stinks. You can't\neat that. You should take it back.\n\nJERRY\nI'm not taking it back.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, I'll take it back. I'm going\nby there.\n\nJERRY\nI don't care about it.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, you should care. Cantaloupe like\nthis should be taken out of circulation.\n\nJERRY\nAlright. Take it back.\n\n(Phone rings, Jerry is reluctant to answer it)\n\nJERRY\n(On his answering machine) Leave a message,\nI'll call you back.\n\nMARLENE\n(Leaving a message) Jerry, have you\never taken a bath in the dark? If I'm\nnot talking into the soap right now,\ncall me back.\n\nKRAMER\nWell?\n\nJERRY\nMarlene\n\nKRAMER\n(Smiles) Oh. Oh, Marlene.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I took her home one night - we\nkinda started up a little bit in the\ncar.\n\nKRAMER\nI thought you were trying to get rid\nof her?\n\nJERRY\nI was. She's got me, like, hypnotized.\n\nKRAMER\nDoes George know?\n\nJERRY\nNo, he'd go nuts.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, no kidding.\n\nJERRY\nI feel terrible. (Kramer smiles) I mean,\nI've seen her a couple of times since\nthen, and I know I can't go any further,\nbut.. I've just got this like,\n\npsycho-sexual hold over me. I just want her, I can't breathe.\nIt's like a drug.\n\nKRAMER\nWoah, psycho-sexual.\n\nJERRY\nI don't know how I'm going to tell him.\n\nKRAMER\nMan, I don't understand people. I mean,\nwhy would George want to deprive you\nof pleasure? Is it just me?\n\nJERRY\nIt's partially you, yeah.\n\nKRAMER\nYou're his friend. Better that she should\nsleep with someone else. Some jerk that\nhe doesn't even know.\n\nJERRY\nWell, he can't kill me, right?\n\nKRAMER\nYou're a human being.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, she called me. I haven't called\nher. She started it.\n\nKRAMER\nYou're flesh and blood.\n\nJERRY\nI'm a nice guy.\n\n(Enter Elaine, she's holding a lamp)\n\nELAINE\nHi. (Hands Jerry the lamp)\n\nJERRY\nOh, my little airplane lamp.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, you have the slowest elevator\nin the entire city? That's hard to get\nused to when you're in so many other\nfast ones.\n\nJERRY\nWell, the apartment elevators are always\nslower than the offices, because you\ndon't have to be home on time.\n\nELAINE\nUnless you're married to a dictator..\n\nJERRY\nYeah.. because they would be very demanding\npeople.\n\nELAINE\nRight. Exactly. So I imagine at some\npoint, somebody's going to offer me\nsome cantaloupe.\n\nKRAMER\nNope. No good.\n\nJERRY\nWell, you know what they say: Luck in\nlove, Unlucky with fruit.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm taking this back. (Leaves)\n\nELAINE\nSo, I had what you might call a little\nencounter this morning.\n\nJERRY\nReally? That guy who stopped saying\nhello?\n\nELAINE\nYep.\n\nJERRY\nYou talked to him?\n\nELAINE\nYep. I spotted him getting his mail.\nAnd at first, I was just going to walk\non by, but then I thought \"no, no, no,\nno. Do not be afraid of this man.\"\n\nJERRY\nRight.\n\nELAINE\nSo, I walked up behind him and I tapped\nhim on the shoulder. And I said, \"Hi,\nremember me?\" And he furrows his brow\nas if he's really trying to figure it\n\nout. So I said to him, I said, \"You little phony. You know exactly\nwho I am.\"\n\nJERRY\n\"You little phony\"?\n\nELAINE\nI did. I most certainly did. And he\nsaid, he goes, \"Oh, yeah. You're Jeanette's\nfriend. We did meet once.\" And I said,\n\"Well, how do you go from that to\n\ntotally ignoring a person when they walk by?\"\n\nJERRY\nAmazing.\n\nELAINE\nAnd he says, he says, \"Look, I just\ndidn't want to say hello anymore, alright?\"\nAnd I said, \"Fine. Fine I didn't want\nto say hello anymore either, but I\n\nwanted you to know that I'm aware of it.\"\n\n(Elaine tastes some cantaloupe)\n\nJERRY\nYou are the Queen of Confrontation.\nYou're my new hero. In fact, you've\ninspired me. I'm gonna call George about\nsomething right now.\n\nELAINE\nThis cantaloupe stinks. (Spits it out)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Coffee Shop)\n\nGEORGE\nI don't care.\n\nJERRY\nYou're kidding.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I don't care.\n\nJERRY\nYou mean that?\n\nGEORGE\nAbsolutely.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't care?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nHow could you not care?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. But I don't. I'm actually\nalmost happy to hear it.\n\nJERRY\nI thought you'd be upset.\n\nGEORGE\nI guess I should be but I'm not.\n\nJERRY\nAm I a bad person? Did I do something\nterrible?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, you're a fine person. You're a humanitarian.\nShe's very sexy.\n\nJERRY\nThat voice. That voice. She's driving\nme crazy.\n\nGEORGE\nI know, I know.\n\nJERRY\nSo I can see her tonight, and you don't\ncare?\n\nGEORGE\nSee her tonight. See her tomarrow. Go.\nKnock yourself out. She's too crazy\nfor me.\n\nJERRY\nAlright. As long as you're okay. Because\nI can't stop thinking about her.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm okay. I'm fine. I'm wonderful. I\nnever felt better in my whole life.\n\nJERRY\nGood. And I'll tell you what.. You don't\nhave to pay me back the thirty-five\nI gave to the chiropractor for the rest\nof your bill.\n\nGEORGE\n(Angry) You paid that crook?!\n\nJERRY\nI had to.\n\nGEORGE\nHe didn't do anything, Jerry. It's a\nscam! Who told you to do that?\n\nJERRY\nIt was embarrassing to me.\n\nGEORGE\nI was trying to make a point.\n\nJERRY\nWhy don't you make a point with your\nown doctor? (George gulps) What's wrong?\n\nGEORGE\n(Gasping) I think I swallowed a fly!\n..I swallowed a fly! What do I do? What\ncan happen?\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's car)\n\nJERRY\n..So, you want to come up for a few\nminutes?\n\nMARLENE\n..I'm sorry, Jerry. I just don't think\nthis is going to work.\n\nJERRY\nReally? I thought..\n\nMARLENE\nI know, I'm sorry.\n\nJERRY\nI guess I just didn't expect it from\nthe way you've been acting.\n\nMARLENE\nYou sure you want to talk about this?\n'Cause I sure don't.\n\nJERRY\nOf course I want to talk about it.\n\nMARLENE\nWell, okay. I guess things changed for\nme on Tuesday night.\n\nJERRY\nTuesday night? What happened Tuesday\nnight?\n\nMARLENE\n..I saw your act.\n\nJERRY\nMy act? What does that have to do with\nanything?\n\nMARLENE\nWell, to be honest, it just didn't make\nit for me. It's just so much fluff.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe this. So what are you\nsaying? You didn't like my act, so that's\nit?\n\nMARLENE\nI can't be with someone if I don't respect\nwhat they do.\n\nJERRY\nYou're a cashier!\n\nMARLENE\nLook, Jerry, it's just not my kind of\nhumor.\n\nJERRY\nYou can't go by the audience that night.\nIt was late. They were terrible.\n\nMARLENE\nI heard the material.\n\nJERRY\nI have other stuff. You should come\nsee me on the weekend.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nWomen need to like the job of the guy\nthey're with. If they don't like the\njob, they don't like the guy.

Are we? Men don't really care. Men'll\njust go, \"Really? Slaughterhouse? Is that\nwhere you work? That sounds interesting. So whatdya got a big\ncleaver there? You're just lopping their heads off?

I guess it's\nbecause so many people have left in\nthe\n\nmiddle of his conversation.\n\nMORTY\nAnd it's always about Jeffrey, right?\n\nJERRY\nHey, he talks about him like he split\nthe atom. The kid works for the Parks\nDepartment.\n\n(Enter Kramer)\n\nKRAMER\nMorty, are you coming in?\n\nMORTY\nOh, yeah. I forgot all about it.\n\nKRAMER\n(To Jerry) Hey, how'd you do?\n\nJERRY\nWe won. We're in the finals on Wednesday..\n\nKRAMER\nYeah!\n\nJERRY\n(To Kramer and Morty) What is this about?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm completely changing the configuration\nof the apartment. You're not gonna believe\nit when you see it. A whole new lifestyle.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you doing?\n\nKRAMER\nLevels.\n\nJERRY\nLevels?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'm getting rid of all my furniture.\nAll of it. And I'm going to build these\ndifferent levels, with steps, and it'll\nall be carpeted with a lot of pillows.\nYou\n\nknow, like ancient Egypt.\n\nJERRY\nYou drew up plans for this?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. It's all in my head.\n\nMORTY\nI don't know how you're going to be\ncomfortable like that.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I'll be comfortable.\n\nJERRY\nWhen do you intend to do this?\n\nKRAMER\nOhh.. should be done by the end of the\nmonth.\n\nJERRY\nYou're doing this yourself?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's a simple job. Why, you don't think\nI can?\n\nJERRY\nOh, no. It's not that I don't think\nyou can. I know that you can't, and\nI'm positive that you won't.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I got the tools. I got the pillows.\nAll I need is the lumber.\n\nMORTY\nHey, that's some big job.\n\nJERRY\nI don't see it happening.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, this time, this time you're wrong.\nC'mon. I'll even bet you.\n\nJERRY\nSeriously?\n\nHELEN\nI dont' want you betting. Morty, don't\nlet him bet.\n\nKRAMER\nA big dinner with dessert. But I've\ngot till the end of the month.\n\nJERRY\nI'll give you a year.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no. End of the month.\n\nJERRY\nIt's a bet. (They both \"pinkie swear\"\nto lock the deal)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Manya's apartment)\n\n(Jerry sits between Uncle Leo and Elaine. Leo grabs his choulder)\n\nJERRY\nSeriously, do you wnat to switch chairs?\n\nELAINE\nNo, no. I'm fine.\n\nLEO\nJerry, are you listening to this?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, Uncle Leo.\n\nLEO\nSo, so, now the parks commissioner is\nrecommending Jeffrey for a citation.\n\nJERRY\nRight. For reducing the pond scum?\n\nLEO\nNo, for the walking tours.\n\nJERRY\nOh, yeah. Where the people eat the plant\nlife - the edible foliage tour.\n\nLEO\nThat's exactly right. He knows the whole\nhistory of the park. For two hours he's\ntalking and answering questions. But\nyou want to know something? Whenever\n\nhe has a problem with one of these high-powered big shots in\nthe Parks Department, you know who he calls?\n\nJERRY\nMickey Mantle?\n\nELAINE\n(Helping him worm out of the conversation\nwith Leo) Jerry, Jerry. Did you taste\nthese peas? These peas are great!\n\nJERRY\n(Eating a forkful) These peas are bursting\nwith country-fresh flavor.\n\nELAINE\nMmm.. phenomenal peas..\n\nMORTY\nAre you ready for dessert?\n\nJERRY\nWell, actually, we do have to kind of\nget going.\n\nMANYA\n(Surprised) You're going?\n\nELAINE\nI don't really eat dessert. I'm dieting.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I can't eat dessert either. The\nsugar makes my ankles swell up, and\nI can't dance.\n\nMANYA\nCan't dance?\n\nHELEN\nHe's kidding, Manya.\n\nMANYA\nIs that a joke?\n\nHELEN\n(Canging subject) So, did you hear Claire's\ngetting married?\n\nMANYA\nYeah, yeah..\n\nHELEN\nI hear the fella owns a couple of racehorses.\nYou know, trotters, like at Yonkers.\n\nJERRY\nHorses. They're like big riding dogs.\n\nELAINE\nWhat about ponies? What kind of abnormal\nanimal is that? And those kids who had\ntheir own ponies..\n\nJERRY\nI know, I hated those kids. In fact,\nI hate anyone that ever had a pony when\nthey were growing up.\n\nMANYA\n..I had a pony.\n\n(The room is dead quiet)\n\nJERRY\n..Well, I didn't really mean a pony,\nper se.\n\nMANYA\n(Angry) When I was a little girl in\nPoland, we all had ponies. My sister\nhad pony, my cousin had pony, ..So,\nwhat's wrong with that?\n\nJERRY\nNothing. Nothing at all. I was just\nmerely expressting..\n\nHELEN\nShould we have coffee? Who's having\ncoffee?\n\nMANYA\nHe was a beautiful pony! And I loved\nhim.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm sure you did. Who wouldn't\nlove a pony? Who wouldn't love a person\nthat had a pony?\n\nMANYA\nYou! You said so!\n\nJERRY\nNo, see, we didn't have ponies. I'm\nsure at the time in Poland, they were\nvery common. They were probably like\ncompact cars..\n\nMANYA\nThat's it! I've had enough! (She leaves\nthe room)\n\nISAAC\nHave your coffee, everyone. She's a\nlittle upset. It's been an emotional\nday.\n\n(Isaac leaves, everyone looks at Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nI didn't know she had a pony. How was\nI to know she had a pony? Who figures\nan immigrant's going to have a pony?\nDo you know what the odds are on\n\nthat? I mean, in all the pictures I saw of immigrants on boats\ncoming into New York harbor, I never saw one of them sitting\non a pony. Why would anybody come\n\nhre if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies\nto come to a non-pony country? It doesn't make sense.. am I wrong?\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Morty and Helen are leaving, their bags are packed)\n\nJERRY\nI'll drive you to the airport.\n\nHELEN\nNo, we're taking a cab.\n\nJERRY\nI just hope that whole pony incident\ndidn't put a damper on the trip.\n\nHELEN\nDon't be rediculous. It was a misunderstanding.\n\nMORTY\nHey, I agree with him. Nobody likes\na kid with a pony.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if you ever talk to her, tell\nher I'm sorry. Elaine too. She feels\nterrible.\n\nHELEN\nYou know, you should give Manya a call.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe I will.\n\n(Jerry opens his door, Kramer's standing in the hallway)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hi. I just came to say goodbye.\n(Gestures to the bags) ..Need any help\nwith those?\n\nMORTY\nIt's nothing. I got it. So, how are\nyour levels coming along?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, well.. I decided I'm not gonna do\nit.\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastically) Really? What a shock.\n\nHELEN\nGoodbye, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nTake care.\n\nHELEN\nWe'll call you. (Leaves)\n\nMORTY\nBye, Jer.\n\nJERRY\nBye, Dad. Take it easy.\n\nMORTY\nBye, Mr. Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. So long, Morty. (Morty leaves)\n\nJERRY\nSo, when do I get my dinner?\n\nKRAMER\nThere's no dinner. The bet's off. I'm\nnot gonna do it.\n\nJERRY\nYes. I know you're not gonna do it.\nThat's why I bet.\n\nKRAMER\nThere's not bet if I' not doing it.\n\nJERRY\nThat's the bet! That you're not doing\nit!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well, I could do it. I don't want\nto do it.\n\nJERRY\nWe didn't bet on if you wanted to. We\nbet on if it would be done.\n\nKRAMER\nAnd it could be done.\n\nJERRY\nWell, of course it could be done! Anything\ncould be done! But it only is done if\nit's done. Show me the levels! The bet\nis the levels.\n\nKRAMER\nBut I don't want the levels!\n\nJERRY\nThat's the bet! (Phone rings, Jerry\nanswers it) Hello? ..No, oh, hi.. no,\nthey just left.. Oh my God.. hand on\na second. Maybe I can still catch them.\n(Jerry\n\ngoes over to the window, and opens it. He yells out of it) Ma!..\nMa!.. Up here! Don't get in the cab! .. Manya died! ..Manya died!!\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nHELEN\nWho did you talk to?\n\nJERRY\nUncle Leo.\n\nHELEN\nAnd when's the funeral?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. He said he'd call back.\n\nMORTY\nYou know what this means, don't you?\nWe lost the supersaver. Those tickets\nare non-refundable.\n\nHELEN\nShe just had a check-up. The doctor\nsaid she was fine. Unless..\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nHELEN\nWhat? Nothing.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't think.. What? The pony remark?\n\nHELEN\nOh, don't be ridiculous. She was an\nold woman.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't think that I killed her?\n\nMORTY\nYou know what the flight back'll cost\nus?\n\nJERRY\nIt was just an innocent comment! I didn't\nknow she had a pony!\n\nMORTY\nMaybe we can get an army transport flight.\nThey got a base in Sarasota, I think.\n\nJERRY\nThe whole thing ws taking out of context.\nIt was a joke. (Phone rings) That's\nprobably Uncle Leo.\n\n(Helen picks it up)\n\nHELEN\nHello? ..Yes, I know.. Well, it's just\none of those things.. Sure, sure, we'll\nsee you then. (Hangs up) The funeral's\nWednesday.\n\nJERRY\nWednesday? What, what Wednesday?\n\nHELEN\nTwo o' clock, Wednesday. (Jerry shrugs)\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nI've got the softball game on Wednesday.\nIt's the championship.\n\nHELEN\nSo? You're not obligated. Go play in\nyour game.\n\nJERRY\nI didn't even know the woman.\n\nHELEN\nSo don't go.\n\nJERRY\nI mean I met her three times. I don't\nknow her last name.\n\nHELEN\nJery, no one's forcing you.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, who has a funeral on a Wednesday?\nThat's what I want to know. I mean,\nit's the championship. I'm hitting everything.\n\nHELEN\nI don't have a dress to wear. (To Morty)\nAnd you. You don't have anything.\n\nMORTY\nI got a sport jacket.\n\nHELEN\nYou're not wearing that to a funeral.\n\nMORTY\nWhat's wrong with it?\n\nHELEN\nIt looks ridiculous.\n\nMORTY\nWhat? I'm gonna buy a new jacket now?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know what to do.\n\nMORTY\n..You know what this funeral's gonna\nwind up costing me? Oh boy!\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nWe don't understand death. And the proof\nof this is that we give dead people\na pillow. And, uh, I mean, hey, you\nknow. I think if you can't stretch out\nand\n\nget some solid rest at that point, I don't see how bedding accessories\nreally make the difference. I mean, they got the guy in a suit\nwith a pillow. No is he going to a\n\nmeeting, or is he catching forty winks? I mean, let's make up\nour mind where we think they're going.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Coffee Shop)\n\nELAINE\nI actually like ponies. I was just trying\nto make conversation. What time's your\ngame?\n\nJERRY\nTwo Forty-Five.\n\nELAINE\nAnd what time's the funeral?\n\nJERRY\nTwo o' clock.\n\nELAINE\nHow long does a funeral take?\n\nJERRY\nDepends on how nice the person was.\nBut you gotta figure, even Oswald took\nforty-five minutes.\n\nELAINE\nSo you cna't do both?\n\nJERRY\nYou know, if the situation were reversed\nand Manya had some mah-jongg championship\nor something, I wouldn't expect her\nto go to my funeral. I would\n\nunderstand.\n\nELAINE\nHow can you even consider not going?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, I've been thinking.. I cannot\nenvision any circumstances in which\nI'll ever have the opportunity to have\nsex again. How's it gonna happen? I\n\njust don't see how it could occur.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, funerals always make me think\nabout my own mortality and how I'm actually\ngoing to die someday. Me, dead. Imagine\nthat.\n\nGEORGE\nThey always make me take stock of my\nlife and how I've pretty much wasted\nall of it, and how I plan to continue\nwasting it.\n\nJERRY\nI know, and then you say to yourself,\n\"From this moment on, I'm not going\nto waste any more of it.\" But then you\ngo, \"How? What can I do that's not\n\nwasting it?\"\n\nELAINE\nIs this a waste of time? What should\nwe be doing? Can't you hae coffee with\npeople?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, I can't believe you're even\nconsidering not playing. We need you.\nYou're hitting everything.\n\nELAINE\nHe has to go. He may have killed her.\n\nJERRY\nMe? What about you? You brought up the\npony.\n\nELAINE\nOh, yeah, but I didn't say I hated anyone\nwho had one.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Jerry) Who's going to play left\nfield?\n\nJERRY\nBender.\n\nGEORGE\nBender? He can't play left. He stinks.\nI just don't see what purpose is it\ngoing to serve your going? I mean, you\nthink dead peole care who's at the\n\nfuneral? They don't even know they're having a funeral. It's\nnot like she's hanging out in the back going, \"I can't believe\nJerry didn't show up.\"\n\nELAINE\nMaybe she's there in spirit. How about\nthat?\n\nGEORGE\nIf you're a spirit, and you can travel\nto other dimensions and galaxies, and\nfind out the mysteries of the universe,\nyou think she's going to want to hang\n\naround Drexler's funeral home on Ocean Parkway?\n\nELAINE\nGeorge, I met this woman! She is not\ntraveling to any other dimensions.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know how easy it is for dead people\nto travel? It's not like getting on\na bus. One second. It's all mental.\n\nJERRY\nFifty years they were married. Now he's\nmoving to Pheonix.\n\nELAINE\nPhoenix? What's happening with his appartment?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. They've been in there\nsince, like, World War II. The rent's\nthree hundred a month.\n\nELAINE\nThree hundred a month? Oh my God.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Funeral home)\n\n(The eulogy is in progress. Jerry attended afterall)\n\nMAN\nAlthough this may seem like a sad even,\nit should not be a day of mourning..\nfor Manya had a rich, fulfilling life.\nShe grew up in a different world - a\nsimpler\n\nworld - with loving parents, a beautiful home in the country,\nand from what I understand, she eve had a pony.. (Jerry throws\nhis hands up) Oh, how she loved that\n\npony. Even in her declining years, whenever she would speak of\nit, her eyes would light up. It's lustrous coat, it's flowing\nmane. It was the pride of Krakow. (Jery\n\nsinks in his seat)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Anteroom of funeral parlor)\n\nJERRY\n(Looking at his watch) Well, the game's\nstarting just about now.\n\nHELEN\nIt was good that the two of you came.\nIt was a nice gesture.\n\n(Scene cuts to Morty talking to an intern)\n\nINTERN\nI'm not a doctor yet, Uncle Morty. I'm\njust an intern. I can't write a note\nto an airline.\n\nMORTY\nYou've got your degree. They don't care.\nThey just want to see something.\n\n(Scene cuts back to Jerry)\n\nJERRY\n(To Isaac) I just wanted to say how\nsorry I was..\n\nLEO\n(Interrupting) Jerry, you wanna hear\nsomething? Your cousin, Jeffrey, is\nswitching parks. They're transferring\nhim to Riverside - so he'll completely\nrevamp that\n\noperation, you understand? He'll do in Riverside what he did\nin Central Park. It's more money. So, that's your cousin.\n\n(Scene cuts back to Morty)\n\nMORTY\nYou don't understand, I've never paid\na full fare.\n\nJERRY\n(To Isaac) Once again, I just want to\nsay how sorry I am abou tthe other night.\n\nELAINE\nOh, me too.\n\nISAAC\nOh no, no, no. She forgot all about\nthat. She was much mor upset about the\npotato salad.\n\nELAINE\nSo, I understand you're moving to Phoenix?\n\n(Jerry shake his head and walks away)\n\nISAAC\nYeah, my brother lives there. I think\nManya would've liked Phoenix.\n\nELAINE\nMmm.. gorgeous, exquisite town. Who,\nwhat's happening with your apartment?\n\nISAAC\nOf course it's very hot there. I'l lhave\nto get an air conditioner.\n\nELAINE\nOh, you can have mine. I'll ship it\nout ot you.. but what about that big\napartment on West End Avenue?\n\nISAAC\nAlthough they say it's a dry heat.\n\nELAINE\nDry, wet.. what's happening with your\napartment?\n\nISAAC\nI don't even know if I should take my\nwinter clothing.\n\nELAINE\nI have an idea. Leave the winter clothing\nin the apartment, and I'll watch it\nfor you and I'll live there and I'll\nmake sure that nothing happens to it.\n\n(Jerry comes back)\n\nISAAC\nOh, the apartment. Jeffrey's taking\nthe apartment.\n\nELAINE\n(to Jerry) Oh, Jeffrey.\n\nJERRY\n(To Elaine) You know Jeffery?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, from what I understand, he works\nfor the Parks Department.\n\n(Helen approaches Jerry)\n\nHELEN\nIt's raining.\n\nJERRY\n(Moves to the window) It's raining?\nIt's raining. The game will be postponed.\nWe'll play tomarrow.\n\n(Scene cuts back to Morty)\n\nMORTY\nBelieve me, I wouldn't bother you if\nthe army hadn't closed that base in\nSarasota. Here, scribble a little something\nhere.\n\nINTERN\nI can't. I'll get in trouble.\n\nMORTY\nOh, for God's sakes!\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Coffee Shop)\n\nGEORGE\nWho gets picked off in softball? It's\nunheard of.\n\nJERRY\nIt's never happend to me before.\n\nELAINE\nI remember saying to myself, \"Why is\nJerry so far off the base?\"\n\nJERRY\nI'll have to live with this shame for\nthe rest of my life.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd they in the fifth inning, why did\nyou take off on the pop fly?\n\nJERRY\nI thought there were two outs.\n\nELAINE\nI couldn't believe it when I saw you\nrunning. I thought maybe they had changed\nthe rules or something.\n\nJERRY\nIt was the single worst moment of my\nlife.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about Sharon Besser?\n\nJERRY\nOh, well, of course. 1973.\n\nELAINE\nMakes you wonder, though, doesn't it?\n\nJERRY\nWonder about what?\n\nELAINE\nYou know.. the spirit world.\n\nJERRY\nYou think Manya showed up during the\ngame and put a hex on me?\n\nELAINE\nI never saw anyone play like that.\n\nJERRY\nBut I went ot the funeral.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, but that doesn't make up for killing\nher.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe Manya missed the funeral because\nshe was off visiting another galaxy\nthat day.\n\nJERRY\nDon't you think she would've heard I\nwas there?\n\nGEORGE\nNot necessarily. (Elaine laughs)\n\nJERRY\nWho figures and immigrant's gonna have\na pony?\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Night Club)\n\nJERRY\nWhat is the pony? What is the point\nof the pony? Why do we have these animals,\nthese ponies? What do we do with them?\nBesides the pony ride. Why\n\nponies? What are we doing with them? I mean, police don't use\nthem for, you know, crowd control. \"Hey, uh, you wanna get back\nbehind the barricades. Hey!\n\nHey, little boy. Yeah, I'm talking to you. Behind the barricades!\"\nSo somebody, I assume, genetically engineered these ponies. Do\nyou think they could make them\n\nany size? I mean, could they make them like the size of a quarter,\nif they wanted? That would be fun for Monopoly, though, wouldn't\nit? Just have a little pony and\n\nyou put him on the, \"Baltic, that's two down, go ahead. Hold\nit. Right ther, Baltic. yeah, that's it. Fine.

Oh baby.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(George enters singing \"Master Of the House\" - a Les Miserables\nshow tune)\n\nGEORGE\n\"Master of the house.. doling out the\ncharm, ready with a handshake and an\nopen palm. Tells a saucy talke, loves\nto make a stir everyone appreciates\na..\"\n\nJERRY\nWhat is that song?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, it's from Les Miserables. I went\nto see it last wee. I can't get it out\nof my head. I just keep singing it over\nand over. It just comes out. I have\nno\n\ncontrol over it. I'm singing it on elevators, buses. I sing it\ninfront of clients. It's taking over my life.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, Schumann went mad from that.\n\nGEORGE\nArtie Schumann? From Camp Hatchapee?\n\nJERRY\nNo, you idiot.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you, Bud Abbott? What, are\nyou calling my an idiot?\n\nJERRY\nYou don't know Rober Schumann? The composer?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, Schumann. Of course.\n\nJERRY\n(Trying to scare George) He went crazy\nfrom one note. He couldn't get it out\nof his head. I think it was an A. He\nkept repeating it over and over again.\nHe\n\nhad to be institutionalized.\n\nGEORGE\nReally? ..Well, what if it doesn't stop?\n(Jerry gestures \"That's the breaks.\"\nGeorge gasps) Oh, that I really needed\nto hear. That helps a lot! Alright,\njust\n\nsay something. Just start talking. Change the subject.. Let's\njust go, alright? I can't believe we're having dinner with Alton\nBenes.\n\nJERRY\nI know exactly what's goin to happen\ntonight. I'm gonna try and act like\nI'm not impressed, he's gonna see right\nthrough it.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, he'll be looking at us like he's\nbackstage at a puppet show.\n\nJERRY\nLet me just get my jacket. (Moves to\nthe bedroom)\n\nGEORGE\n\"Master of the house, keeper of the\ninn..\" (Jerry proudly models his new\njacket infront of George. George looks\nin admiration at the jacket) This is\nhuge!\n\nWhen did this happen?\n\nJERRY\nWednesday. This jacket has completely\nchanged my life. When I leave the house\nin this, it's with a whole different\nconfidence. Like tonight, I might've\nbeen\n\na little nervous. But, inside this jacket, I am composed, grounded,\nsecure that I can meet an social challenge.\n\nGEORGE\n(Nods) Can I say one thing to you? And\nI say this wiht an unblemished record\nof staunch heterosexuality.\n\nJERRY\nAbsolutely.\n\nGEORGE\n..It's fabulous.\n\nJERRY\nI know.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd I'll tell you something else, I'm\nnot even going to ask you. I want to\nknow. But I'm not going to ask. You'll\ntell me when you feel comfortable..\nSo\n\nwhat was it? Four hundred? Five hundred? Did you pay five hundred\nfor this? (Jerry's acting coy throughout the whole thing) Over\nsix? Can't be seven. Don't tell my\n\nyou paid seven hundred dollars for this jacket! Did you pay seven\nhundred dollars for this jacket? Is that what you're saying to\nme?! You are sick! Is that what you\n\npaid for this jacket?! Over seven hundred? What did you pay for\nthis jacket? I won't say anything. I wanna know what you paid\nfor this jacket! Oh my God! A\n\nthousand dollars?! You paid a thousand dollars for this jacket?!\nAlright, fine. I'm walking out of here right now thinking you\npaid a thousand dollars for this jacket,\n\nunless you tell me different. (Jerry still coy, stays silent)\nOh, ho! Alright! I'll tell you what, if you don't say anything\nin the next five seconds, I'll know it was over a\n\nthousand..\n\n(Enter Kramer)\n\nKRAMER\nHey. Hey, would you do me a solid?\n\nJERRY\nWell, what kind of solid?\n\nKRAMER\nI need you to sit in the car for two\nminutes while it's double-parked. I\ngotta pick up some birds.\n\nJERRY\nBirds?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. A friend of mine, he's a magician.\nHe's going away on vacation. He asked\nme to take care of his doves.\n\nJERRY\nSo take a cab.\n\nKRAMER\nThey won't take a cage full of birds.\n\nJERRY\nI can't. I'm on my way out. There's\nno way I can do it.\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge, do me a solid? Two minutes.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm going with him. I'd like to,\nI've never done a solid before.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright.. yeah.. alright, have a good\none.\n\n(Kramer leaves)\n\nJERRY\n(Scoffs) Two minutes. Believe me, I\nknow his two minutes.. By his conception\nof time, his life will last over two\nthousand years.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Hotel lobby)\n\n(Jerry and George enter. George's singing \"Master of the House\")\n\nGEORGE\n\"Master of the House. Quick to catch\nyour eye, never wants a passerby to\npass him by.\"\n\nJERRY\n(Points to his head) Schumann. (George\ngets visibly scared) Where are they?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe he didn't show up.\n\nJERRY\nWhat, you don't want to do this?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't think there's ever been an appointment\nin my life where I wanted the other\nguy to show up.\n\nGEORGE\n(Sees an elderly man sitting on a leather\nchair) Wait a second, is that him?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I think it is. (They walk tward\nhim) Where's Elaine?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm nervous.\n\nJERRY\nExcuse me.. Mister Benes?\n\nALTON\nYeah?\n\nJERRY\nI'm Jerry. Elaine's friend.. and this\nis George.\n\nGEORGE\n(Holds out his hand for a handshake)\nIt's a great thrill to meet you, Sir.\n\n(Alton starts hacking, George withdraws his hand)\n\nALTON\nSit down. Want a drink?\n\nJERRY\nSure.\n\nALTON\n(Summons waiter) What do you have?\n\nJERRY\n(To waiter) I'll have a cranberry juice\nwith two limes.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd, I'll have a club soda with no ice.\n\nBENES\n(Gives both Jerry and George a look)\nI'll have another Scotch with plenty\nof ice.\n\nGEORGE\nYou like ice?\n\nALTON\nHuh?\n\nGEORGE\nI said, do you like ice?\n\nALTON\nLike it?\n\nGEORGE\nDon't you think you get more without\nit?\n\nALTON\n(Pauses) Where's Elaine?\n\nJERRY\nWell, we thought she was meeting you\nearlier. She's usually pretty punctual.\n(Alton remains quiet) ..Don't you find\nthat, George?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. She's punctual.. and she's\nbeen late sometimes.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, yeah. Sometimes she's on time,\nand sometimes she's late.\n\nGEORGE\nI guess today she's late.\n\nJERRY\nIt appears that way.\n\nGEORGE\nYep.\n\nJERRY\nYep.\n\n(Both Jerry and George look at the door, anticipating Elaine's\narrival)\n\nALTON\nLooks like rain.\n\nGEORGE\n(Perks up) I know, I know, that's what\nthey said.\n\nALTON\nWho said?\n\nGEORGE\nThe weather guy, Dr. Waldo.\n\nALTON\nI don't need anybody to tell me it's\ngonna rain.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, of course not. I didn't..\n\nALTON\nAll I have to do is stick my head out\nthe window. (Waiter shows up with the\ndrinks) Which one's suppose to be the\nfunny guy?\n\nGEORGE\n(Pointing at Jerry) Oh, he's the comedian.\n\nJERRY\nI'm just a regular person.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. He's just being modest.\n\nALTON\nWe had a funny guy with us in Korea.\nA tailgunner. They blew his brains out\nall over the Pacific. (Long pause) There's\nnothing funny about that.\n\n(Jerry and George turn to the door again)\n\nJERRY\nWould you excuse me a minute? I'm gonna\ngo to the bathroom. I'll be right back.\n\n(Jerry leaves. George is left alone with Alton)\n\nGEORGE\nI just wanted to tell you that I really\nenjoyed Fair Game. I thought it was\njust brilliant.\n\nALTON\nDrivel.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe some parts.\n\nALTON\nWhat parts?\n\nGEORGE\nThe drivel parts.. Oh my gosh, I just\nrealized - I have to make a phone call.\nI can believe.. would you.. (Gets up,\nand leaves)\n\n(Scene cuts to the hotel bathroom)\n\nGEORGE\nThank you for leaving me alone with\nhim!\n\nJERRY\nThat was brutal. I can't go back out\nthere.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, let's just leave.\n\nJERRY\nElaine'll kill me.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere is she?\n\nJERRY\nShe's gotta be here soon.\n\nGEORGE\nHow could she leave us alone with this\nlunatic? Ten more minutes, and that's\nit! I'm leaving. I have to tell you,\nthis guy scares me.\n\nJERRY\nThe waiter was trembling.\n\nGEORGE\nIf she doesn't show up, we can't possibly\nhave dinner with him alone.\n\nJERRY\nHow are we gonna get out of it?\n\nGEORGE\nWe'll say we're frightened and we have\nto go home.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that's good. He'd clunk our heads\ntogether like Moe.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. Just start scratching.\nTell him you have the crabs. He was\nin the military. He'll understand that.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nAll fathers are intimidating. They're\nintimidating because they are fathers.\nOnce a man has children, for the rest\nof his life, his attitude is, \"To hell\nwith the\n\nworld, I can make my own people. I'll eat whatever I want.

(Hands him a message)\n\nALTON\nFrom Elaine. She got tied up. She'll\nbe here in thirty minutes. (Jerry and\nGeorge freeze)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Hotel lobby)\n\nALTON\nYeah, they should've taken care of Castro\nwhen they had the chance. Like we did\nin Guatamala in 'fifty-three.\n\nJERRY\n(Adding) Well, Guatamala.\n\nGEORGE\nSure, Guatamala.\n\nALTON\n(Gets up) Alright, you boys get yourselves\ntogether. We'll head up to the restaurant.\nI'll leave a note for Elaine. I'm going\nto the bathroom. (Leaves)\n\nGEORGE\nCome on, let's go!\n\nJERRY\nWhat about Elaine?\n\nGEORGE\nTo hell with Elaine!\n\nJERRY\nShe'll be furious.\n\nGEORGE\nWe're dying here!\n\n(Elaine enters)\n\nJERRY\nThat's her! She's here!\n\nELAINE\nI'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Where is Dad?\n\nGEORGE\n(Mocking Alton's voice) He's in the\nbathroom.\n\nJERRY\nWhere have you been?!\n\nELAINE\nKramer, that .. Kramer! I'm just about\nto leave, he calls me up. He begs me\nto sit in his car for two minutes, so\nhe can pick up these birds..\n\nJERRY\nOh, you didn't..\n\nELAINE\nWell, he said he'd drive me here right\nafter. So, I am sitting in his car twenty\nminutes! he doesn't come down. I am\nfreezing. Then a cop comes by, tells\nme\n\nto get out of the car. He's a city marshal. He's towing the car\naway. Kramer owes thousands of dollars in back tickets. He was\ngoing to tow it with me in the car!\n\nSo, they tow the car. Now, I am standing outside, and I am freezing,\nbut I cannot leave because I have to tell him what happened to\nthe car.. so, finally, he finally\n\ncomes down with his giant cage filled with doves. He said he\nwas getting special instructions, that each dove has a different\ndiet. So, we're wandering around trying\n\nto get a cab, when two of these doves fly out! Now we're running\ndown the street after these doves. I almost got hit by a bus.\n(Sits down, takes a deep breath) ..So\n\nhow's everything going over here?\n\nJERRY\n(After hearing Elaine's story, his is..)\nGreat.\n\nGEORGE\nCouldn't be better.\n\nELAINE\nGood. 'Cause Dad can make some people\na little uncomfortable.\n\nJERRY\nOh, no, no.\n\nGEORGE\nGet outta here..\n\nELAINE\nMan, Kramer! I could kill him.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe it. You know better\nthan to get involved with Kramer.\n\nELAINE\nHe said he'd give me a lift.\n\nJERRY\nAh, the lift. Like the lure of the siren's\nsong. Never what it seems to be, yet\nwho among us can resist?\n\nGEORGE\nWhere do you come up with this stuff?\n\nALTON\n(Returns) Well, look who's here.\n\nELAINE\nOh, Hi, Dad.\n\nALTON\n(Kisses Elaine) Hello, dear. Who's the\nlipstick for?\n\nELAINE\nNo one.\n\nALTON\n..How's your mother?\n\nELAINE\nFine.\n\nALTON\nHow about you? Are you working?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I'm reading manuscripts for Pendant\nPublishing. I told you ten times.\n\nALTON\nPendant, those bastards.. Alright, boys.\nWe'll go to that Pakistani restaurant\non 46th Street. You're not afraid of\na little spice, are you?\n\n(They all head for the door. Jerry and George trail behind a\nlittle)\n\nGEORGE\n\"Master of the house, doling out the\ncharm. Ready with a handshake and an\nopen..\"\n\nALTON\nPipe down, chorus boy.\n\n(Alton glares, George gets embarrassed)\n\nELAINE\nOhh.. it's snowing. It's beautiful.\n\nJERRY\n(To George) Snow.. snow, that can't\nbe good for suede, can it?\n\nGEORGE\nI wouldn't think so.\n\nJERRY\nWhat should I do? (To Alton) We're taking\na cab, aren't we?\n\nALTON\nCab? It's only five blocks.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Jerry) Why don't you just turn it\ninside out?\n\nJERRY\nInside out! Great.\n\n(Jery turns his jacket inside out, showing of the pink striped\ninsides. Alton stops him before Jerry can leave the hotel)\n\nALTON\nWait a minute. What the hell do you\ncall this?\n\nJERRY\nOh, I turned my jacket inside out.\n\nALTON\nWell, you look like a damn fool!\n\nJERRY\n(Like a child) Well, it's a new suede\njacket. It might get ruined.\n\nALTON\nWell, you're not going to walk down\nthe street with my and my daughter dressed\nlike that! That's for damn sure!\n\n(Jerry looks at George)\n\nGEORGE\nIt's only a few blocks.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry's heading out, the intercom buzzes)\n\nJERRY\n(Into intercom) Elaine?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nCome on up.\n\n(Enter Kramer)\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nI've gotta feed the birds.\n\nJERRY\nSo?..\n\nKRAMER\nYou got any of those mini Ritzes?\n\n(Jerry reaches up, and pulls out some mini Ritzes)\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe I do.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah! ..Well, are you going out?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, where's your new jacket? (Jerry\npoints to the jacket hanging in the\nbathroom. It's ruined, and unwearable)\nWhat? (Kramer enters the bathroom,\n\nhe's shocked at the sight of the jacket) Ohhh. What did you do\nto it?\n\nJERRY\nI was out in the snow last night.\n\nKRAMER\nDon't youk now what that does to suede?\n\nJERRY\nI have an idea. (Elaine enters) We can\nmake the nine-thirty at Cinema III.\n\nELAINE\nOkay.. (To Kramer) Hello. (To Jerry)\nListen, thanks again for coming last\nnight. Dad said he had a great time.\n\nJERRY\nIs he still in town?\n\nELAINE\nNo, he's driving back to Maryland tonight.\n\nKRAMER\n(Talking about the ruined jacket) So,\nuh.. what are you gonna do with that\none now?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know.\n\nKRAMER\nWell?..\n\nELAINE\n(To Jerry) I didn't want to tell you\nthis, but usually he hates everyone.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nKRAMER\nYou gonna throw this out?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I can't wear it.\n\nELAINE\n(To Jerry) Yeah, he like you though.\nSaid you reminded him of somebody he\nknew in Korea.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, if you're just gonna throw it\nout, you know, I could take it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, go ahead, take it.\n\nELAINE\nDad thinks George is gay.\n\nJERRY\nOh, because of all that singing?\n\nELAINE\nNo, he pretty much thinks everyone is\ngay.\n\n(Kramer returns from the bathroom wearing the ruined suede jacket)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, see, I like it like this.\n\nELAINE\n(Pointing at the jacket Kramer's wearing)\nIsnt' that..? (Jerry nods) Oh, is this\nfromt he snow last night? (Jerry nods\nagain) Ugh.. you know what you\n\nshould've done? You should've turned it inside out.\n\nJERRY\nI'll try and remember that.\n\nKRAMER\n(Talking about the leather jacket from\nthe start of the show) Boy, it's too\nbad you gave me this one too.\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastic) Yeah, too bad.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm gonna have to do something about\nthis lining.\n\n(Kramer exits, Scene ends)\n\n(Alton Benes' car)\n\n(Alton is driving home, then all the sudden, he starts to sing)\n\nALTON\n\"Master of the house doling out the\ncharm, ready with a handshake and an\nopen palm..\"\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nI had a leather jacket that got ruined.\nNow, why does moisture ruin leather?\nI don't get this.

Did you ever see\nanybody on TV\n\nlike just sliding off the front of the sofa with potato chip\ncrumbs on their\n\ncommercial people - where do they summon this enthusiasm? Have\nyou seen them?\n\n\"We have soda, we have soda, we have soda\", jumping, laughing,\nflying through\n\nthe air - it's a can of soda. Have you ever been standing there\nand you're\n\nwatching TV and you're drinking the exact same product that they're\nadvertising\n\nright there on TV, and it's like, you know, they're spiking volleyballs,\n\njetskiing, girls in bikinis and I'm standing there - \"Maybe I'm\nputting too much\n\nice in mine.\"\n\nGEORGE\nSo then, as we were leaving, we were\njust kind of standing there,\n\nand she was sort of smiling at me, and I wasn't sure if she wanted\nme to ask her\n\nout, because when women smile at me I don't know what it means.\nSometimes I\n\ninterpret it like they're Psychotic or something and I don't\nknow if I'm\n\nsupposed to smile back, I don't know what to do. So I just stood\nthere like -\n\nremember how Quayle looked when Benson gave him that Kennedy\nline? - that's what\n\nI looked like.\n\nJERRY\nSo you didn't ask?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I froze.\n\nJERRY\n(Points to counter) Counter.\n\nGEORGE\nOh yeah. So wait, wait. A half-hour\nlater I'm back in the office,\n\nI tell Lloyd the whole story. He says \"So why don't you call\nher\". I says \"I\n\ncan't.\" I couldn't, I couldn't do it right then. For me to ask\na woman out I\n\ngotta get into a mental state like the karate guys before they\nbreak the bricks.\n\nSo Lloyd calls me a wuss.\n\nJERRY\nHe said wuss?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Anyway, he shamed me into it.\n\nJERRY\nSo you called. (They sit at counter)\n\nGEORGE\nRight. And, and to cover my nervousness\nI started eating an apple,\n\nbecause I think if they hear you chewing on the other end of\nthe phone, it\n\nmakes you sound casual.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, like a farm boy.\n\nGEORGE\nRight. So I call her up, I tell her\nit's me, she gives me an\n\nenthusiastic 'Hi!'\n\nJERRY\nWow. Enthusiastic 'Hi!', that's beautiful.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I don't get the enthusiastic 'Hi!',\nI'm outta there.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, so you're chewing your apple,\nyou got your enthusiastic\n\n'Hi!' Go ahead.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, we're talking, and I don't like\nto go too long before I ask them\n\nout, I wanna get it over with right away, so I just blurt out\n\"What are you\n\ndoing Saturday night?\"\n\nJERRY\nAnd?\n\nGEORGE\nShe bought.\n\nJERRY\nGreat day in the morning.\n\nGEORGE\nThen I got off the phone right away.\n\nJERRY\nSure, it's like robbing a bank: you\ndon't loiter around in front of\n\nthe teller holding that big bag of money. You come in, you hit\nand get out.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's amazing: we, we both have dates\non the same night. I can't\n\nremember the last time that happened.\n\nGeorge's car, parked outside apartment building, night. George\nand his date\n\nCAROL\n\nGEORGE\nI can't stand doing laundry. That's\nwhy I have forty pairs of\n\nunderwear.\n\nCAROL\nYou do not.\n\nGEORGE\nAbsolutely. Because instead of doing\na wash, I just keep buying\n\nunderwear. My goal is to have over three hundred and sixty pair.\nThat way, I\n\nonly have to do wash once a year.\n\n(They both laugh)\n\nJerry's car, also parked outside an apartment building. Jerry\nand his\n\nGIRLFRIEND DONNA\n\nJERRY\n(In awful Scots/Irish accent) Come on,\ntry it.

It was great.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. We should do this again.\n\nDONNA\nWould you like to come upstairs for\nsome coffee?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no, thanks. I can't drink coffee\nlate at night, it keeps me up.\n\nDONNA\n(Looks disappointed) So, um, OK.\n\nGEORGE\nOK.\n\nDONNA\nGoodnight.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, take it easy.\n\n(Donna leaves car. George realizes what he has done and bashes\nhis\n\nforehead in disgust)\n\nDONNA\nThanks again for the movie.\n\nJERRY\nYou're welcome.\n\nDONNA\nI'd invite you up, but the place is\nbeing painted.\n\nJERRY\nOh, that's OK.\n\nDONNA\nUnless you want to go to your place.\n\nJERRY\nOK, but there's no cake or anything,\nif that's what you're looking\n\nfor.\n\nGEORGE\nTake it easy, huh, take it easy.\n\nJERRY\nI think if one's going to kill oneself,\nthe least you could do is\n\nleave a note - it's common courtesy. I don't know, that's just\nthe way I was\n\nbrought up.\n\nDONNA\nValues are very important.\n\nJERRY\nOh, so important. So what are you doing\nThursday night - you wanna\n\nhave dinner?\n\nDONNA\nThursday's great. (Moves closer)\n\nJERRY\n(Looks at his pants) Tan pants. Why\ndo I buy tan pants, Donna? I\n\ndon't feel comfortable in them.\n\nDONNA\nAre those Cotton Dockers?\n\nJERRY\nOh, I can't begin to tell you how much\nI hate that commercial.\n\nDONNA\nReally? I like that commercial. (Jerry\npauses)\n\nJERRY\nYou like that commercial?\n\nDONNA\nYeah, it's clever.\n\nJERRY\nNow wait a second, you mean the one\nwhere the guys are all standing\n\naround, supposedly being very casual and witty?\n\nDONNA\nYeah, that's the one.\n\nJERRY\nWhat could you possibly like about that?\n\nDONNA\nI don't know, I like the guys.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, they're so funny and so comfortable\nwith each other, and I\n\ncould be comfortable too, if I had pants like that. I could sit\non a porch and\n\nwrestle around, and maybe even be part of a real bull session.\n\nDONNA\nHey, I know guys like that. To me the\ndialogue rings true.\n\nJERRY\n(Shrugs. Pause) Even if the dialogue\ndid ring true. Even if\n\nsomehow somewhere men actually talk like that, what does that\nhave to do with\n\nthe pants? Doesn't that bother you?\n\nDONNA\n(Increasingly annoyed) That's the idea.\nThat's what's clever about\n\nit, that they're not talking about the pants.\n\nJERRY\nBut they're talking about nothing.\n\nDONNA\nThat's the point.\n\nJERRY\nI know the point.\n\nDONNA\nNo one is telling you to like it.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, all those quick shots of the\npants, just pants, pants,\n\npants, pants, pants, pants, pants. What is that supposed to be?\n\n(Donna sighs, leans away from Jerry, looks at watch)\n\nJERRY MONOLOGUE\n\nWhat's brutal about the date is the scrutiny that you put each\nother\n\nthrough. Because whenever you think about this person in terms\nof the future,\n\nyou have to magnify everything about them. You know, like the\nguy'll be like\n\n'I don't think her eyebrows are even. Could I look at uneven\neyebrows for the\n\nrest of my life?' And of course the woman's looking at the guy,\nthinking 'What\n\nis he looking at? Do I want somebody looking at me like this\nfor the rest of my\n\nlife?'\n\nJERRY\nI'm supposed to see her again on Thursday,\nbut can I go out with\n\nsomeone who actually likes this commercial?\n\nELAINE\nI once broke up with a guy because he\ndidn't keep his bathroom clean\n\nenough.\n\nJERRY\nNo kidding. Did you tell him that was\nthe reason?\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah, I told him all the time. You\nwould not have believed his\n\nTUB\ngerms were building a town in there\n- they were constructing offices.\n\nHouses near the drain were going for $150,000.\n\n(George enters, looking miserable, holding a brown paper bag)\n\nELAINE\nHi.\n\n(George produces Pepto-Bismol bottle and box of bicarb from bag,\nplaces\n\nthem on counter)\n\nJERRY\nYou're still thinking about this?\n\nGEORGE\n(While preparing bicarb) She invites\nme up at twelve o clock at\n\nnight, for coffee. And I don't go up. \"No thank you, I don't\nwant coffee, it\n\nkeeps me up. Too late for me to drink coffee.\" I said this to\nher. People\n\nthis stupid shouldn't be allowed to live. I can't imagine what\nshe must think\n\nof me.\n\nJERRY\nShe thinks you're a guy that doesn't\nlike coffee.\n\nGEORGE\nShe invited me up. Coffee's not coffee,\ncoffee is sex.\n\nELAINE\nMaybe coffee was coffee.\n\nGEORGE\nCoffee's coffee in the morning, it's\nnot coffee at twelve o clock at\n\nnight.\n\nELAINE\nWell some people drink coffee that late.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, people who work at NORAD, who're\non twenty-four hour missile\n\nkept saying to myself \"Keep it up, don't blow it, you're doing\ngreat.\"\n\nELAINE\nIt's all in your head. All she knows\nis she had a good time. I\n\nthink you should call her.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't call her now, it's too soon.\nI'm planning a Wednesday call.\n\nELAINE\nOh, why? I love it when guys call me\nthe next day.\n\nGEORGE\nOf course you do, but you're imagining\na guy you like, not a guy who\n\ngoes (in stupid voice) \"Oh no, I don't drink coffee late at night.\"\nIf I call\n\nher now, she's gonna think I'm too needy.\n\nWomen don't wanna see need. They want a take-charge guy - a colonel,\na\n\nkaiser, a tsar.\n\nELAINE\nAll she'll think is that you like her.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, she wants me to like her, if she\nlikes me, but she doesn't like\n\nme!\n\nELAINE\nI don't know what your parents did to\nyou.\n\n(Kramer enters, points at Jerry)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I just thought of a really funny\nthing for your act.

Everybody\nout, come on.\n\nJERRY\nWhy do we have to leave?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause I can't call a woman with other\npeople in the room. Come\n\non, let's go.\n\nELAINE\nOh, see, this is the problem.\n\nJERRY\nYou're kicking me out of my house?\n\nGEORGE\nYes.\n\nELAINE\nDon't forget.\n\nGEORGE\nOh Jerry, do you have any apples?\n\nJERRY\nDon't do the apples.

The guy that\n\ndidn't come up for coffee.\n\nYou see, I didn't realise that coffee didn't really mean ...\nwell,\n\nwhatever. Anyway, it was fun. It was, erm, it was fun, so, oh\nboy, uhm, so,\n\nyou call me back. If you want, it's up to you, you know, whatever\nyou wanna do.\n\nEither way. The ball's in your court.

Hey everybody,\nthe idiot's on!'\n\nJERRY\nAfter one date you try and improvise\non her machine?\n\nGEORGE\nNow I'm in the worst position of all.\n\nELAINE\nY'know, my brother-in-law once left\na message on this guy's machine,\n\nand he blurted out some business information he wasn't supposed\nto, and it would\n\nhave cost him $15,000, so he waited outside the guy's house and\nwhen the guy\n\ncame home he went upstairs with him and he switched the tape.\n\nGEORGE\nHe did that?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nSomebody did that?\n\nJERRY\nShe'll call you back.

I call Tuesday,\nI get the\n\nMACHINE AGAIN\n\"I know you're there, I don't know what\nyour story is.\"\n\nYesterday, I'm a volcano - I try one more call, the machine comes\non, and fly\n\nlike Mussolini from the balcony- \"Where the hell do you get the\nnerve? You\n\ninvite me up for coffee and then you don't call me back for four\ndays? I don't\n\nlike coffee, I don't have to come up.

I can't believe she\nnever called you back.\n\nGEORGE\nShe did. Today.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nShe called my office. She said she's\nbeen in the Hamptons since\n\nSunday. She didn't know if I was trying to get in touch with\nher. Her machine\n\nbroke, and she's been using her old machine and she doesn't have\nthe beeper for\n\nit.\n\nJERRY\nSo she didn't get the messages.\n\nGEORGE\nExactly, but they're on there waiting.\nShe said she can't wait to\n\nsee me, we're having dinner tonight. She's supposed to call me\nas soon as she\n\ngets home.\n\nJERRY\nBut what about the messages?\n\n(George produces cassette tape from pocket)\n\nJERRY\nElaine's thing? How you gonna get in?\n\nGEORGE\nI'll meet her outside the building.\n\nJERRY\nBut you know as soon as she gets in\nthe apartment she's going right\n\nfor that machine.\n\nGEORGE\nOr she goes for the bathroom. That's\nmy only chance. Who am I\n\nkidding? I can't do this, I can't do this. I don't even know\nhow to work those\n\nstupid machines.\n\nJERRY\nThere's nothing to it. You lift the\nlid, it comes right out.\n\nGEORGE\nYou do it for me.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nCome on, it'll be so much easier.\n\nJERRY\nHow you gonna get me up there?\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell her I bumped into you, I'm\ngiving you a ride uptown.\n\nJERRY\nAnd who makes the switch?\n\nGEORGE\nYou do.\n\nJERRY\nI do.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't do it.

It might take\nher till eight-fifteen.\n\nJERRY\nI got one problem: you're keeping her\nbusy in the other room. Now,\n\nwhat if she somehow gets away from you and is coming in? You\nhave to signal me\n\nthat she's coming.\n\nGEORGE\nA signal, right, erm, OK, er OK, the\nsignal is, I'll call out 'Tippy\n\ntoe!'\n\nJERRY\n'Tippy Toe?'

You're gonna have to\nhave all your sex at women's apartments.\nIt'll be like a permanent road trip.\nForget about the home bed\n\nadvantage.\n\nJERRY\nBut I need the home bed advantage!\n\nGEORGE\nOf course, we all do.\n\nJERRY\n(Gesturing to the coffee shop) Come\nin for two minutes and sit with me.\n\nGEORGE\nI was just in there. It's embarrassing.\n\nJERRY\nOh, who's gonna know?\n\nGEORGE\nThey saw me walk out.\n\nJERRY\nTwo minutes.\n\n(Scene cuts to Jerry and George in the coffee shop)\n\nJERRY\nMy censoring system broke down. You\nknow that little guy in your head who\nwatches everything you say? Makes sure\nyou don't make a mistake? He went\n\nfor a cup of coffee, and in that second - ruined my life.\n\nGEORGE\nMy censor quit two years ago. He checked\ninto a clinic. Emotionally exhausted.\n\nJERRY\n..So, is there any way out of this Elaine\nthing?\n\nGEORGE\nTough.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, the water pressure's terrible\nin my building.. and she loves a good\nshower.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't think anyone's turned down an\napartment because of a weak shower spray.\n\nJERRY\nIf they were fanatic about showers,\nthey might.\n\nGEORGE\nFor that rent, she'd take a bath in\nthe toilet tank if she had to..\n\nJERRY\nLook at that woman feeding her baby\ngreasy, disgusting, coffee shop corned\nbeef hash. Isn't that child abuse?\n\nGEORGE\nI'd like to have a kid. Of course, you\nhave to have a date first.. remember\nmy friend, Adam, from Detroit?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, the guy with the flat head?\n\nGEORGE\nHe's a cube.. anyway, he got married\nsix months ago. he told me ever since\nhe's been wearing a wedding band, women\nhave been coming on to him\n\neverywhere he goes.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I've heard that about wedding\nbands.\n\nGEORGE\n(Joking) I wonder if that's really true.\n\nJERRY\nThat would be an interesting sociological\nexperiment. You know, Kramer has his\nfather's band. He'd loan it to you.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Apartment buliding hallway)\n\n(George is trying on a wedding band)\n\nGEORGE\nThanks a lot. I\"ll give it back to you\nin a week.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, I don't even know why you're\nfooling around with this ring. I've\nbeen telling you, get yourself some\nplugs, or a piece.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not doing that.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, man. You know, you're crazy. You're\na good looking guy. What do you want\nto walk around like that for?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I'll put half a can of mousse in\nmy head like you.\n\n(Manny and Harold are arguing again from down the hall)\n\nHAROLD\nI told you I don't like these sponges,\nthey're too small! I want a big sponge!\n(Manny yells) You can't pick up anything\nwith these! There's no absorption!\n\n(Manny yells in Spanish, Jerry exits his apartment)\n\nJERRY\nBoys, boys.\n\nHAROLD\nHi, Jerry.\n\nHAROLD\nHello, Jerry. (Says something in Spanish\nto Harold)\n\nHAROLD\nOkay.. your friend can't have the apartment,\nJerry.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nHAROLD\nBecause somebody offered Manny five\nthousand dollars for the apartment.\nI don't want to do it. Manny wants to\ndo it. (Manny yells) Because it's true!\n\nWhy shouldn't I tell him?\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey. I understand. You're businessmen.\n(Manny talks in Spanish)\n\nHAROLD\nOh, now, he says that if your friend\nhas five thousand dollars, we'll give\nit to her.\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's a lot of money. But, if\nthat's the way it's gotta be, that's\nthe way it's gotta be. (Goes back to\nhis apartment) You know, I used to think\nthat the\n\nuniverse is a random, chaotic, sequence of meaningless events,\nbut I see now that there is reason and purpose to all things.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat happened to you?\n\nJERRY\nReligion, my friend, that's what happened\nto me. Because, I have just been informed\nthat it's going to cost Elaine the sum\nof five thousand dollars to get the\n\napartment upstairs.\n\nGEORGE\nFive thousand dollars? She doesn't have\nfive thousand dollars!\n\nJERRY\nOf course she doesn't have five thousand\ndollars!\n\nGEORGE\nSo, she can't get the apartment.\n\nJERRY\nCan't get it.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, she doesn't move in.\n\nJERRY\nNo move. So, you see, it's all part\nof a divine plan.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd how does the baldness fit into that\nplan?\n\n(The intercom buzzes)\n\nJERRY\n(Into the intercom) Elaine?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\n(Unlocks the main door. To George) Alright,\nthis is going to require some great\nacting now. I have to pretend I'm disappointed.\nYou're going to really see\n\nme being a phony, now. I hope you can take this.. maybe you should\ngo in the other room.\n\nGEORGE\nAre you kidding?! I lie ever second\nof the day. My whole life is a sham!\n\nJERRY\n'Cause you know, I love Elaine.\n\nGEORGE\nOf course you do.\n\nJERRY\nBut you know.. not in the building.\nReally, I feel terrible about this.\nMy intentions were good. What can I\ndo? Tell me..\n\n(To someone in the hallway) No, I'll\nbe seeing you. (Starts to sing) \"Good\nmorning, good morning..\" Have you ever\ngotten up in the morning\n\nand felt it's great to be alive? That every breath is a gift\nof sweet life from above? (George leaves, and goes to the other\nroom) Oh, and before I forget, I have the\n\nchecks for first month, last month, security deposit. I have\nseventy-five dollars left in my account.\n\nJERRY\n(Looks at the checks) Well.. there's\na little bit of a problem.\n\nELAINE\nOh, I know. There's a weak shower spray,\nI know. I've already thought about it,\nand I'm switching to baths. As Winston\nChurchill said, \"Why stand when\n\nyou can sit?\" Maybe I'll get some rubber duckies..\n\nJERRY\nNo, someone offered Harold and Manny\nfive thousand for the apartment. I'm\nsure they'd just as soon give it to\nyou, but you'd have to come up with\nthat\n\nmoney.\n\nELAINE\nFive thousand dollars? I don't have\nfive thousand dollars.\n\nJERRY\nI know.\n\nELAINE\nHow am I going to get five thousand\ndollars?\n\nJERRY\nI have no idea.\n\n(Enter Kramer)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, my new neighbor!\n\nELAINE\nI'm not moving in.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nThey want five thousand dollars now.\n\nKRAMER\nSo, okay. What's the problem?\n\nELAINE\nI don't have five thousand dollars.\n\nKRAMER\nC'mon, you can come up with five thousand\ndollars.. Jerry, you don't have five\nthousand dollars you can led her? Come\non.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well, I didn't.. Is that something\nyou want to borrow?\n\nELAINE\nNo, that's too much money to borrow.\n\nKRAMER\nLoan her the money. You can afford it.\n\nJERRY\nShe doesn't want to borrow the money.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, c'mon. She'll pay you back. What's\nfive grand between friends?\n\nELAINE\nOf course I'd pay you back..\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, so what's the problem?\n\nJERRY\nWho said there's a problem?\n\nKRAMER\nHe said he'd loan you the money.\n\nELAINE\nWell Jerry, it might take a while for\nme to pay you back. Maybe a few years.\nHow do you feel about that?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's okay. He doesn't care.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, money can sometimes come between\nfriends.\n\nKRAMER\nGet outta here.\n\nELAINE\nLet me think about it.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat's to think about?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.. I don't know. Five thousand..\nlet me just take one more look at it.\n(Leaves)\n\nJERRY\nIt was all over! Taken care of. Done!\nFinished. Five thousand.. Where's she\ngonna get five thousand? She doesn't\nhave five thousand. Clean. Good bye.\n\nShe's gone. Then you come in, \"Why don't you loan her five thousand?\nWhat do you care? You've got five thousand. Give her five thousand.\"\n\nKRAMER\nYou didn't want her in the building?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I didn't!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, then what did you loan her the\nfive thousand for? Oh, look, maybe she\nwon't take it.. I mean, she did say\nthat she was going to think about it.\n\nJERRY\nPeople don't turn down money! It's what\nseparates us from the animals.\n\nKRAMER\nI still don't understand what the problem\nis having her in the building.\n\nJERRY\nLet me explain something to you.. You\nsee, you're not normal. You're a great\nguy, I love you, but you're a pod. I,\non the other hand, am a human being.\nI\n\nsometimes feel awkward, uncomfortable, even inhibited in certain\nsituations with the other human beings. You wouldn't understand.\n\nKRAMER\nBecause I'm a pod?\n\n(George returns for Jerry's bedroom just as Elaine returns)\n\nELAINE\nI'll take it!\n\n(George turns on his heels, and goes back into Jerry's room)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Roxanne's apartment)\n\n(Guests are milling around, eating.

(Jerry's attracted to Roxanne,\nElaine notices)\n\nGEORGE\n(Showing off his wedding band) Yeah,\nmy wife couldn't make it today. She's\ngot some thing with her mother.. Who\nknow's what going on with her. Don't\n\nlet any one kid you, it's tough. (Goes off to mingle)\n\nJERRY\nWell, better load up on some carbos\nbefore the race. (Starts selecting food\nfrom the tables)\n\nROXANNE\nOh, the marathon is great, isn't it?\n\nJERRY\nOh, yes. Particularily if your not in\nit.\n\nROXANNE\nI wish we had a view of the finish line.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's to see? A woman from Norway,\na guy from Kenya, and twenty thousand\nlosers.\n\n(Roxanne makes a face, Scene guts to George. He's standing next\nto an attractive woman)\n\nGEORGE\n..Yeah, my wife started getting on me\nabout the lawn today.

Joanne.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, this is Joanne, and this is Stan.\nThey're in my short story class with\nRoxanne and me. Hey, Jerry just got\nme a great apartment in his building!\n\nJOANNE\nWell, Jerry, it'll be nice having a\nclose friend nearby?\n\nJERRY\nFantastic..\n\nSTAN\nShe can pop in whenever she wants.\n\nJERRY\nI know.\n\nJOANNE\nShe doesn't even need to knock!\n\nJERRY\nIt's tremendous.\n\nSTAN\nAnytime of day.\n\nJERRY\nI'm in heaven.\n\nELAINE\nOh, Rita come here. This is Jerry. He's\nthe one who got me the apartment.\n\nRITA\nOh, Hi. (Calling to someone) bob, this\nis the guy who got Elaine the apartment.\n\n(Scene cuts to George)\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sorry, I don't see the big deal\nabout being a matador. The bull charges,\nyou move the cape, wha't so hard? (The\nboth laugh flirtingly)\n\nSUSIE\nSo, are you really married? Because,\nI've actually heard of single guys who\nwear wedding bands to attrack women.\n\nGEORGE\nYou'd have to be a real loser to try\nsomething like that.\n\nSUSIE\nThat's too bad, because I really have\na thing for bald guys with glasses.\n(Shrugs, smiles, then leaves George)\n\nRITA\nHey everybody! Here come the runners!\n\n(Everyone runs to the windows. Jerry and Elaine stay put)\n\nELAINE\nSo you and Roxanne are hitting it off,\nhuh?\n\nJERRY\nOh, I wouldn't quite say that.\n\nELAINE\nReally? From a distance, you seemed\nto be coming on to her.\n\nJERRY\nI'm a guy.. it always looks like that.\n\nELAINE\nBecause, I was thinking.. are you at\nall concerned that living in the same\nbuilding will, y'kno.. cramp our styles?\n\nJERRY\nNa..\n\nELAINE\nBecause, I was worried that there might\nbe a situation in which one of us come\nhome with somebody, it could get a little\nuncomfortable. But - as long as\n\nyou're okay with it, it's fine with me.\n\n(Scene cuts to George)\n\nJANICE\nI've never been able to be with just\none person. I can, however, carry on\nstrictly physical relationships which\ncan last for years and years. It's a\nshame\n\nyou're married..\n\nGEORGE\n(Frantically tries to take the ring\noff) I'm not. It's just a sociological\nexperiment!\n\nJANICE\nPlease.. (Walks away)\n\n(Jerry walks over to George)\n\nJERRY\nYou have no idea what an idiot it. Elaine\njust gave me a chance to get out and\nI didn't take it. (Points to himself)\nThis is an idiot.\n\nGEORGE\nIs that right? (Showing him up) I just\nthrew away a lifetime of guilt-free\nsex and floor seats for ever sporting\nevent in Madison Square Garden. So please,\n\na little respect. For I am Costanza.

Then try axle grease. (Kramer enters) I'll call you\nback after I talk to her. Bye.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's all taken care of. Everything's\ncool.\n\nJERRY\nWhat? What's cool?\n\nKRAMER\nElaine.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nKRAMER\nI just found a guy who's willing to\npay ten thousand dollars for the apartment.\n\nJERRY\nYou what?! Get out! Ten thousand?\n\nKRAMER\n(Nods) Cash.\n\nJERRY\nWho would pay that much?\n\nKRAMER\nHe's in the music business.\n\nJERRY\nElaine would never borrow that much\nmoney! (Hugs Kramer, then grabs him\nby the cheeks) Kramer, my God, man!\nThis is beautiful! I think I'm in the\nclear\n\nhere. Elaine's not moving in! I don't have to confront her!

I've been up there six\ntimes. They refuse to stop. I can't\nlive like this. I don't know what I'm\ngonna do. I'm heading for breakdown!\n(To Harold)\n\nCan't you do something?\n\nHAROLD\nI'm not going up.

What do you do when a\nneighbor is making, like, a lot of noise\nat three o' clock in the morning? I\nmean, can you knock on someone's door\nand tell them to keep it down? You're really altering your whole\nself-image, I mean, what am I? Fred Mertz now? What's happening\nto me? Can I do this? Am I a\nshusher? I used to be a shushee. There's a lot of shushing going\non in movie theaters. People are always shushing. Shh..shh....\nshhh... shhh.. Doesn't work, 'cause\nnobody knows where a shush is coming from. They just hear a Shh.\n\"Was that a shush? I think somebody just shushed me.\" Some people\nyou can't shush in a movie\ntheater.

No, this is too tough,\nisn't it?\"\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nHe really did an amazing job, look!\nHe uncoagulated the top of the dishwashing\nliquid.

How did he get in there? He\nmust be like Rubber Man!\n\nELAINE\nThere's no Rubber Man.\n\nJERRY\n..Why did I think there was a Rubber\nMan?

The once and future king\nof comedy, \"Jerry the First,\" gracing\nour humble abode. Rava, we're in the\npresence of royalty.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Ray, listen, you really did a tremendous\njob cleaning that apartment.\n\nRAY\nBut I didn't just clean your apartment.\nIt was a ritual, a ceremony, a celebration\nof life.\n\nJERRY\n(Joking about his personality) Shouldn't\nyou be out on a ledge somewhere?\n\n(They all laugh - Ray laughs longer than everyone else. Jerry\nsavors the laughs of his big fan - then he sees George's statue\non the mantle of the fireplace. He's stunned by the sight)\n\nRAVA\nThe water is boiling. Are you having\ntea?\n\nELAINE AND RAY\nYes.\n\n(Jerry's still stunned)\n\nELAINE\nJerry? ..Jerry!\n\nJERRY\n(Snaps out of it) What?\n\nRAVA\n(From the kitchen) Ray, would you give\nme a hand?\n\nRAY\nYeah, I'm coming!\n\n(He leaves. As soon as both Rava and Ray are in the kitchen,\nJerry and Elaine start talking in loud whispers)\n\nJERRY\n(Points to the statue) I think that's\nthe statue from my house. That looks\nlike the statue from my house!\n\nELAINE\nWhat statue?\n\nJERRY\nI had a statue!\n\nELAINE\nYou have a statue? I never saw a statue.\n\nJERRY\nMy grandfather gave me a statue!\n\nELAINE\nSince when?\n\nJERRY\nWhat's the difference?! That's the one!\nHe ripped me off! This guy ripped me\noff!\n\n(Ray pops his head back into the living room)\n\nRAY\nDo you take sugar?\n\nJERRY AND ELAINE\nUhh.. no.\n\n(Ray goes back into the kitchen)\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe it! This guy ripped\nme off!\n\nELAINE\nDo you realize what you're saying?\n\nJERRY\nYes! This guy ripped me off!

Ninety-nine percent sure.\n\nELAINE\nNinety-nine percent sure?!\n\n(Ray and Rava both enter, carrying a tray of tea)\n\nRAY\nAh, sweet elixir. It's fragrant nectar\n- a soothing balm for the soul.\n\n(Jerry smells it suspiciously - like it's poisoned. A ding from\nthe kitchen can be heard)\n\nRAY\nThe pastries!\n\n(Ray and Rava exit in different directions)\n\nELAINE\nMaybe it just looks the same. Maybe\nit's just a coincidence.\n\nJERRY\nCoincidence? This guy's in my apartment\nand then, just by coincidence, he has\nthe same exact statue in his apartment.\n\nELAINE\nI never saw the statue.\n\nJERRY\nI had a statue! What should I do?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\n..I'll call Kramer. He can check my\nhouse. (Grabs the phone, and dials)\n\nELAINE\nOh Jerry, don't blow this for me.\n\nJERRY\nDon't worry.. (Whispering into the phone)\nKramer! Kramer!.. It's Jerry!.. Jerry!\n.. from next door!.. Never mind where\nI am!.. Yes, Jerry Seinfeld!.. (Rava\nenters with a manuscript. Jerry starts\ntalking casually)\n\nJERRY\nMa, I told ya, just dip the bread in\nthe batter, and put in right in the\npan. Okay, bye. (Hangs up) My mother..\nShe forgot how to make French Toast.\nYou know how mothers are.\n\nRAVA\nMy mother left us when I was six years\nold. All seven of us. He ever heard\nfrom her again.

He knew I\nwas gonna know it's missing, and he\ntook it! And of all things to take -\nI left my watch, tape recorder, stereo.\nHe's crazy.\n\nKRAMER\nYou wanta go get him?\n\nELAINE\nWell, then, if he's crazy you should\njust forget it.\n\nGEORGE\nForget it? I already called my parents.\nI told them to expect the surprise of\na lifetime. My mother's making her roasted\npotatoes!\n\nELAINE\nGeorge, do you realize that Rava's asked\nme to edit her book?\n\nGEORGE\nWho is this Rava?\n\nKRAMER\nI say we get him.\n\nELAINE\nNo!\n\nGEORGE\nLet me just call him.\n\nJERRY\nI'll call him. (Picks up the cordless\nphone. Kramer, George, and Elaine all\nstruggle for control of the other -\nso they can listen in on the conversation.\nAs Jerry's talking, the three others\nstill fight) Hello, Ray? ..Hi, Ray,\nthis is Rava's friend, Elaine's frined,\nJerry.. The King of Comedy.. right.\nListen, you know that statue on your\nmantle, the one with the blue lady?\n(To Kramer and George) Will you shut\nup?!

One o'\nclock. Great, okay, bye. (Hangs up)\n\nELAINE\n(Scrambling) Alright, look, look, look,\nLet's say he stole it.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, he stole it?\n\nELAINE\nC'mon, you can't do anything about it.\nThe cops won't do anything. What, are\nyou going to fight him? Why don't you\njust.. forget it?\n\nJERRY AND GEORGE\nNo.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Coffee shop)\n\n(Jerry sits alone. In the next booth to Jerry's back, George\nis sitting inconspicuously)\n\nGEORGE\n(To Jerry, without looking at him) I\nthought you said one o' clock.\n\nJERRY\nRelax, he's late. He's always late.\nIt's part of his \"M.O.\"\n\nGEORGE\nRemember, don't take any crap.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, yeah.. don't worry about it.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll be right here.\n\n(Ray enters)\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastic) That's comforting.. Shh.\nHe's here. (Greeting him) Ray?\n\nRAY\n(Stands next to the table) Oh, Jerry.\nI can't believe you asked me about that\nstatue. Do you know how much trouble\nyou could've got me into?\n\nJERRY\n..Well, I didn't..\n\nRAY\nRava was standing right next to me.\nI never told her where I got the statue.\n\nGEORGE\n(Muttering to himself) I wonder why.\n\nJERRY\nWell, just give it back, and I won't\nsay anything.\n\nRAY\nGive it back?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nRAY\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nGEORGE\n(Muttering) What is he talking about..\n\nRAY\nI'm talking about the statue.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, me too.\n\nRAY\nGive it back to whom?\n\nJERRY\nMe.\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) Yeah, him.\n\nRAY\nYou?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Me.\n\nRAY\nI'm not getting this.\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) You already got it.\n\nJERRY\nRay, I had a statue in my house. You\nwere in my house - and then I saw it\nin your house.\n\nRAY\nWhat are you saying?\n\nJERRY\nWhat am I saying?\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) Take a wild guess.\n\nRAY\nAre you saying I stole your statue?\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) What a mind.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I..\n\nRAY\nI can't believe what I'm hearing.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe what I'm hearing.\n\nGEORGE\n(to himself) I can't believe what I'm\nhearing.\n\nRAY\nFor your information, I got that statue\nat a pawn shop.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Himself) A pawn shop?\n\nJERRY\nA pawn shop?\n\nRAY\nYes. In Chinatown with the money I earned\ncleaning people's apartments.\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) And cleaning them out.\n\n(Jerry elbows George - a message to shut up)\n\nJERRY\nOh, excuse me.. Look, Ray, you were\nthe only person in my house.\n\nRAY\nWhat's behind this? It's Rava, isn't\nit?\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) Again with the Rava.\n\nRAY\nYou want her.\n\nJERRY\n(Joking) No, she's a little too cheery\nfor me.\n\nRAY\n(Losing it) She's from Finland, for\ncrying out loud. Finland! Do you understand?!\n\nJERRY\nI know Finland. They're neutral.\n\nRAY\nIs it me? Do I rub you the wrong way?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I actually find you quite charming..\na bit verbose at times.\n\nGEORGE\n(Mocking) \"Oh, I find you so charming\"\n..You wuss.\n\nJERRY\n(To George) Did you call me a wuss?\n\nRAY\nWhat did you say?\n\nJERRY\nI said luss.. I'm at a luss..\n\nRAY\nI would just love to take you down to\nthe shop where I got it.\n\nJERRY\nThat's not necessary. (George slams\nhis menu down on the table in anger)\nYou know, maybe it's not that bad an\nidea.\n\nRAY\nAnd I would love to. Nothing would please\nme more. But, unfortunately, the guy\nretired and moved to Singapore.\n\nGEORGE\n(Muttering to himself) Singapore?! Do\nyou hear this?\n\nRAY\nIf you really want, maybe I can contact\nthe guy in Singapore aand have him make\na photostat of the receipt and send\nit over.\n\nGEORGGE\nThat's it! That's it! I can't take it.\nI can't take it anymore! (Gets up, turns\naround, and confronts Ray) You stole\nthe statue! You're a theif! You're a\nliar!\n\nJERRY\n(Pleading) George.\n\nRAY\n(To Jerry) Who is this?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm the judge and the jury, pal. And\nthe verdict is.. guilty!\n\nRAY\nWhat's going on here?\n\nGEORGE\nGUILTY!\n\nRAY\nYour friend is crazy.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I'm crazy!\n\nJERRY\n(Still pleading) George, george..\n\nRAY\nI've got to get going. I have a class.\n\nGEORGE\nOh ho! Class, huh? At Columbia? Let\nme tell you something, pal. I called\nthe registrar's office. I checked you\nout. They have no record of a Ray Thomas\nat that school! You liar!\n\nRAY\nWell, that's because I'm registered\nunder my full legal name, Raymond Thomas\nWochinski. Ray Thomas is my professional\nname.\n\nGEORGE\nYou mean alias.\n\nRAY\nYou are starting to make me angry.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, that was bound to happen!\n\nRAY\n(To Jerry) I hope you think about what\nyou've done here today.. and if you\nwant to call and apologize, you know\nwhere to reach me. (Goes to leave)\n\nJERRY\nHey, Ray.\n\nRAY\n(Stops) Yes?\n\nJERRY\nHow did you get the goop out of the\ntop of the dishwashing liquid? It was\nlike a brand-new nozzle!\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Pendant publishing)\n\n(Elaine and Rava are waiting for an elevator)\n\nELAINE\nNervous?\n\nRAVA\nWhy should I be?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Right.\n\nRAVA\nYour notes are very insightful.\n\nELAINE\nThe book is great. Did you go out last\nnight?\n\nRAVA\nNo. We made love on the floor like two\nanimals. Ray is insatiable.\n\nELAINE\nThey all are..\n\nRAVA\nWas Jerry?\n\nELAINE\nI can't remember..\n\n(Doors open. They step in)\n\nRAVA\nYou know, Ray is very upset over these\naccusations.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well, I'm staying out of this one.\nThis is between them. I am not getting\ninvolved.\n\n(The doors close. Scene cuts to moments later, on another floor.\nThe doors open)\n\nRAVA\n(Annoyed) So you think he stole it?!\n\nELAINE\nWell, you have to admit.. the circumstantial\nevidence.\n\nRAVA\nI admit nothing!\n\n(The doors close. Scene cuts to the inside of the elevator)\n\nMAN\nWill you put that cigarette out, please?\n\n(Rava ignores him)\n\nELAINE\nWell, I mean, he was in the apartment,\nand then it's gon and it's in your apartment.\n\nRAVA\nMaybe you think we're in cahoots.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no.. but it is quite a coincidence.\n\nRAVA\nYes, that's all, a coincidence!\n\nELAINE\nA big coincidence.\n\nRAVA\nNot a big coincidence. A coincidence!\n\nELAINE\nNo, that's a big coincidence.\n\nRAVA\nThat's what a coincidence is! There\nare no small coincidences and big coincidences!\n\nELAINE\nNo, there are degrees of coincidences.\n\nRAVA\nNo, there are only coincidences! ..Ask\nanyone! (Enraged, she asks everone in\nthe elevator) Are there big coincidences\nand small coincidences, or just coincidences?\n(Silent) ..Well?! Well?!..\n\n(Everyone just kinda shrugs, then murmurs. The doors open)\n\nMAN\nWill you put that cigarette out?!\n\nRAVA\n(Pointing the lit end at him) Maybe\nI put it out on your face! (To Elaine)\nIt's just like Ray said - you and Jerry\nare jealous of our love. You're trying\nto destroy us.\n\nELAINE\nShouldn't you be out on a ledge somewhere?\n\n(The doors close. Scene cuts to another floor. The elevator is\nempty except for Elaine. There's a janitor's cart parked right\noutside the doors. She steps out, then throws the manuscript\ninto the garbage can of the cart, and exits)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nGEORGE\n(On the phone) Ma, will you stop?..\nIt's just a statue! How is it my fault?!\n..It was stolen. I didn't even touch\nit this time.. Okay, fine. I don't se\nwhy this should affect to potatoes!\nOkay. Goodbye. (Hangs up) She doesn't\nreact to disappointement very well..\nunlike me.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm not happy about this.\n\nELAINE\nWhy don't we just throw a Molotov cocktail\nthrough their window?\n\nGEORGE\nThere's just no justice. This experience\nhas changed me. It's made me more cynical,\nmore bitter, more jaded.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nGEORGE\n(Casually) Sure. Why not?\n\nELAINE\nWell, how do you think I feel? Instead\nof editing the first novel of a major\nyoung writing talent, I am proofreading\na food allergy cookbook.\n\nJERRY\nCan't you talk to your boss?\n\nELAINE\nI did. He loves Rava.. worse.. he loves\nRay, and he doesn't think you're funny\nat all.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm not happy about this.\n\nJERRY\nWell, perhaps we can take comfort in\nthe knowledge that in the next world,\nRay will be the recipient of a much\nlarger and more harsh brand of justice..\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.. He'll have my parents!\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Rava and Ray's apartment)\n\n(Ray's home alone. There's a knock at the door)\n\nKRAMER\nPolice! Open up!\n\nRAY\nPolice?

He forces\nRay against the wall - face first)\n\nKRAMER\nFreeze, mother!\n\nRAY\nHey..\n\n(Kramer shoves him roughly against the wall)\n\nKRAMER\nShut up. Spread 'em. I said spread 'em!\n(Looks around) You're in big trouble\nson. Burglary, grand larceny, possession\nof stolen goods.. and uh, uh.. murder.\n\nRAY\nMurder?!\n\n(Kramer shoves him against the wall)\n\nKRAMER\nShut up! Keep 'em spread! Just make\nlove to that wall, pervert!\n\nRAY\nI think you have me confused with somebody\nelse.\n\nKRAMER\n(Afraid he's got the wrong guy) Is your\nname Ray?\n\nRAY\nYeah.\n\nKRAMER\n(Assured) Yeah, you're the punk I'm\nlooking for. (Grabs the statue from\nthe mantle, and puts it in his bag)\n\nRAY\nHey, hey, are you a cop?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'm a cop. I'm a good cop. I'm\na damn good cop! Today's your lucky\nday, junior, 'cause I'm gonna let you\noff with a warning. Any more of this\ncriminal activity, and you'll be sorry.\nYou got me?\n\nRAY\nGot you? I don't even know what the\nhell you're talking about.\n\nKRAMER\nGood. Good. Let's keep it that way.\n(Exits)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Kramer guides Jerry, Elaine, and George into the apartment)\n\nJERRY\nAlright, alright. What's the big hubbub,\nbub?\n\n(Kramer runs to his apartment, then returns with a duffel bag.\nHe places it on the table, and reveals the statue)\n\nGEORGE\nKramer, I can't believe it. Oh, you're\nmy hero!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, what did you do?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, let's put it this way: I didn't\ntake him to People's Court.\n\nGEORGE\nI feel like a huge weight's been lifted\noff my shoulders. (Giddily) I.. I..\nI feel happy! Kramer, I don't know how\nto thank you!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'll think of something.. (Slaps\nGeorge on the back - sending the statue\ncrashing to the ground)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nPeople are going to steal from you.\nYou can't stop them. But, everybody\nhas their own little personal security\nthings - things that they think will\nfoil the crooks, you know? In your own\nmind, right? ..You go to the beach,\ngo in the water, put your wallet in\nthe sneaker. Who's gonna know? What\ncriminal mind could penetrate this fortress\nof security? I tied a bow. They can't\nget through that. I put the wallet down\nby the toe of the sneaker. They never\nlook there.

Civil War.\nMaybe I could be a professor,\n\nor something.\n\nELAINE\nWell, to teach something you really\nhave to know a lot about it. I\n\nthink you need a degree.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. That's true. What? My God, the\nmoney! The 1500! Where'd you\n\nfind it?\n\nKRAMER\nIt was in my laundry.\n\nJERRY\nIn your laundry the whole time? I told\nyou not to mix in our guys.\n\nWhat did we figure the damage on that machine would be?\n\nKRAMER\nIt was about 1200 bucks.\n\nNEWMAN\nKramer!\n\nKRAMER\nOh!

My friend, Bob Saccomanno,\nhe came in here for a hernia operation..\nOh yeah, routine surgery.. now he's\nsittin' around in a chair by a\n\nwindow going, \"My name is Bob\" .. George, whatever you do, don't\nlet 'em cut you. Don't let 'em cut you..\n\nGEORGE\nWell, what should I do, Kramer?\n\nJERRY\nWell, for one think, don't listen to\nhim.\n\nKRAMER\nI'll tell you what to do, I'll tell\nyou what to do. You go to Tor Eckman.\nTor, Tor, he'll fix you right up. He's\na herbalist, a healer, George. He's\nnot just\n\ngonna fix the tonsils and the adenoids, he is gonna change the\nwhole way you function - body and mind.\n\nJERRY\nEckman? I thought he was doing time?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, he's out. He got out. See, the\nmedical establishment, see, they tried\nto frame him. It's all politics. But\nhe's a rebel.\n\nJERRY\nA rebel? No. Johnny Yuma was a rebel.\nEckman is a nut. George, you want to\ntake care of your tonsils, you do it\nin a hospital. With a doctor.\n\nKRAMER\nHe's holistic, George. He's holistic.\n\nGEORGE\nHolistic.. that sounds right.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, you need a medical doctor.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Jerry) Let me ask you something..\nHow much do you think it would cost\nto have tonsils and adenoids removed\nin the hospital?\n\nJERRY\nWell, an overnight stay in a hospital?\nMinor surgery? I dunno, four grand.\n\nGEORGE\nUh-huh. And how much does the healer\ncharge?\n\nKRAMER\nFirst visit? Thirty-eight bucks.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, yeah? Holistic.. that's what I need.\nThat's the answer.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Healer's apartment)\n\n(Jerry and George are sitting on huge pillows on the apartment\nfloor. Kramers fiddling with an acupuncture model)\n\nGEORGE\nSo, how do you like the way I talked\nyou into comin' down here?\n\nJERRY\nDon't flatter yourself, my friend. I'm\nhere strictly for material, and I have\na feeling this is a potential gold mine..\nI still think you're nuts, though.\n\nGEORGE\nAll I know is I've been going to doctors\nall my life. What has it gotten me?\nI'm thirty-three years old. I haven't\noutgrown the problems of puberty, I'm\n\nalready facing the problems of old age. I completely skipped\nhealthy adulthood. I went from having orgasms immediately to\ntaking forever. You could do your taxes\n\nin the time it takes me to have an orgasm. I've never had a normal,\nmedium orgasm.\n\nJERRY\n(Jokingly making fun of George) I've\nnever had a really good pickle.\n\nGEORGE\nBesides, what's it gonna cost me? Thirty-eight\nbucks?\n\n(Tor enters. He hugs Kramer for a long time, then walks over\nto Jerry and George)\n\nTOR\n(To Jerry) Would you not put your foot\non that please?\n\nJERRY\nSorry.\n\n(Tor sits down, and turns tward George)\n\nTOR\nWhat month were you born?\n\nGEORGE\nApril.\n\nTOR\nYou should have been born in August.\nYour parents would have been well-advised\nto wait.\n\nGEORGE\nReally?\n\nTOR\nDo you use hot water in the shower?\n\nGEORGE\nYes.\n\nTOR\nStop using it.\n\nGEORGE\n..Okay.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm off hot water.\n\nTOR\nKramer tells me that you are interested\nin an alternative to surgery.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, yes I am.\n\nTOR\n(Blows into George's face) I think we\ncan help you. See, unfortunately, the\nmedical establishment is a business\nlike any other business. And business\nneeds\n\ncustomers. And, they want to sell you their most expensive item\nwhich is unnecessary surgery.\n\nGEORGE\n(Still on the showers) Can I use hot\nwater on my face?\n\nTOR\nNo. You know, I am not a business man.\nI'm a holistic healer. It's a calling,\nit's a gift. You see, it's in the best\ninterest of the medical profession that\nyou remain\n\nsick. You see, that insures good business. You're not a patient.\nYou're a customer.\n\nJERRY\n(He thinks this, the audience can hear\nhis thoughts) And you're not a doctor,\nbut you play one in real life.\n\nGEORGE\n(Still on the hot water) What about\nshaving?\n\nTOR\n(To Jerry) You're eating too much dairy.\n(To George) May I? (Reaches over, and\ntouches George's face)\n\nGEORGE\nI guess so.\n\nTOR\n(Feeling George's face) You see, you\nare in disharmony. The throat is the\ngateway to the lung. Tonsillitis, adenoiditis,\nis, in Chinese medical terms, and invasion\n\nof heat and wind.\n\nJERRY\n(Again, we hear his thoughts) There's\nsome hot air blowing in here..\n\nTOR\nYou know, I lived with the Eskimos many\nyears ago, and they used to plunge their\nfaces into the snow.\n\nGEORGE\n(Once again, still on the shower) Could\nit be lukewarm?\n\nJERRY\nToo much dairy? You really think I'm\neating too much dairy?\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Doctor's car)\n\n(The Doctor and Elaine are almost done with their date. the doctor\nis speaking seductively to Elaine while holding out her tongue)\n\nDOCTOR\n..The tongue.. yes, the tongue.. or,\nin medical terms, the glossa. It's a\nmuscular organ.. Consists of two parts..\nthe body, and the root.. You see, it's\n\ncovered by this mucous membrane.. These little raised projections\nare the papillae, which give it that furry appearance. Very tactile..\n\n(The Doctor is still holding her tongue)\n\nELAINE\nUh-huh.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Healer's apartment)\n\nTOR\n(Pouring tea) Your tea is ready now.\nThis will solve your so-called tonsil\nproblem.

You know,\nI think that's what killed Curly.\n\n(Tor hands George the tea. George isn't willing to drink it right\naway. Jerry looks skeptical, Kramer, on the other hand, is enthusiastic)\n\nKRAMER\nGo ahead, drink it, George.\n\nJERRY\nExcuse me, Tor. May I ask you a question?\nYou have intuitive abilities. You're\nin touch with a lot of this cosmic kind\nof things.. I have this note I can't\nread.\n\nI was wondering if-\n\nTOR\n(Takes the note, then laughs when he\nreads it) Oh, yes.. yes.. \"Cleveland\n117, San Antonio 109..

(George quickly indicates with his arm\nthat he wants ice cream) What? What's\n\nthat? ..So, how much is this thing gonna cost you now? Like,\nfive, six thousand?.. (George signals that it's more) Well, live\nand learn.. at least we lived. Kramer went\n\nto Eckman.. He feels better alreadyy..

Oh, I have\nan idea. I have an idea. No call the\nday after that.\n\nJERRY\nBeautiful. Let's make it a rule.\n\nELAINE\nAll right, sir.\n\nJERRY\nNow here's another little rule. When\nwe see each other now, we retire to\nour separate quarters. But sometimes,\nwhen people get involved with that,\nthey feel pressure to sleep over. When\nthat is not really sleep. Sleep is separate\nfrom that. And I don't see why sleep\ngot all tied up and connected with that.\n\nELAINE\nOkay, okay.

You're one\nof those losers in Las Vegas who keeps\nthinking he's gonna come up with a way\nto win at blackjack.\n\nJERRY\nNo, this is very advanced.

No calls the next day.\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) So you're havin' the sex,\nnext day you don't have to call. That's\npretty good.

You got greedy.\n\nJERRY\nNo, that's the rule. It's optional.\n\nGEORGE\nI know less about women than anyone\nin the world. But one thing I do know\nis they're not happy if you don't spend\nthe night. I could be a hot, sweaty\nroom with no air conditioning and all\nthey have is a little army cot this\nwide (Displays with French fry) You're\nnot going anywhere.\n\nJERRY\nI think you're wrong.\n\nGEORGE\nI hope I am.\n\nJERRY\nIs this yours or the roommate's?\n\nELAINE\nThe roommate's.\n\nJERRY\nWould she mind?\n\nELAINE\nShe keeps track of everything.\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's too bad, 'cause I'm takin'\nit.\n\nELAINE\nThanks.\n\nJERRY\nWell, guess I'll get going.\n\nELAINE\nOh.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I have that root canal tomorrow\nmorning. It'll be easier if I go home.\n\nELAINE\nFine, go away.\n\nJERRY\nI don't understand. Is there a problem?\n(Elaine is pulling a roll of paper towels\nabout twenty feet long) I'm getting\nthe impression there's a problem.\n\nELAINE\nJust go.\n\nJERRY\nI'm having surgery tomorrow.\n\nELAINE\nOh, surgery. You're going to the dentist.\n\nJERRY\nBut you said, it can be very serious.\n\nELAINE\nOkay, so fine. Go.\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened to the rules? Remember?\nSleeping over was optional.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, it's my house, it's my option.\n\nJERRY\nIt has nothing to do with whose house\nit is.\n\nELAINE\nOh, of course it does.

Could you excuse us for just\none second?\n\nTINA\nOh, yeah. I'll excuse you.

Maybe there's something\nthat she needs.\n\nJERRY\nI think I heard her say something about\na bench.\n\nGEORGE\nA bench?

With\na picture of another guy in it. Frame\nsays I care for you, but if you wanna\nget serious, perhaps you'd be interested\nin someone like this.\n\nJERRY\nNice looking fellow.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about candle holders?\n\nJERRY\nToo romantic.\n\nGEORGE\nLingerie?\n\nJERRY\nToo sexual.\n\nGEORGE\nWaffle maker.\n\nJERRY\nToo domestic.\n\nGEORGE\nBust of Nelson Rockefeller.\n\nJERRY\nToo Gubernatorial.

I made a mental\nnote of it.\n\nJERRY\nWell goody for you.\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, I'm very sensitive about that.\nI mean, when someone's birthday comes\nup, I keep my ears open. So what'd you\nget her?\n\nJERRY\n182 bucks.\n\nKRAMER\nCash? You gotta be kidding. What kind\nof gift is that? That's like something\nher uncle would get her.\n\nELAINE\n(Reading card) Think where man's glory\nmost begins and ends and say my glory\nwas I had such a friend.\n\nKRAMER\n(To Jerry) Yates.\n\nELAINE\nOh Kramer. (They embrace)\n\nJERRY\nCould you excuse us please?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nWe're talking.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, the relationship.

They're\nrelationship killers. If a relationship\nis having any problems whatsoever, a\nbirthday will always bring it out.\n\nJERRY\nI never should have made up those rules.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat is it about sex that just disrupts\neverything? Is it the touching? Is it\nthe nudity?\n\nJERRY\nIt can't be the nudity. I never got\ninto these terrible fights and misunderstandings\nwhen I was changing before gym class.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know what this means? I can't see\nher anymore either.\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's break up by association. Besides,\nshe's mad at me anyway because of my\nbirthday present.\n\nJERRY\nWhat did you end up giving her?\n\nGEORGE\n91 dollars.\n\nJERRY\nSorry about that.\n\nGEORGE\nSo what're you gonna do?\n\nJERRY\nWell, if I call her, there's no joking\naround anymore. This is pretty much\nit.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, maybe this should be it.\n\nJERRY\nCould be it.\n\nGEORGE\nShe seems like an it.\n\nJERRY\nShe's at it as you get. Imagine bumping\ninto her on the street in five years\nwith a husband. And she tells me he's\na sculptor, they live in Vermont...\n\nGEORGE\nWe'd have to kill him.\n\nJERRY\nWe'd get caught, I'd get the chair.\n\nGEORGE\nI'd go to prison as your accomplice.\nI'd have to wear that really heavy denim.\nGo to the cafeteria line with the guy\nwho slops those mashed potatoes onto\nyour plate. Go to the bathroom in front\nof hundreds of people.\n\nJERRY\nPlus, you know what else.\n\nGEORGE\nYou better call her.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got the paper yet?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nKRAMER\nWell where is it? (Elaine enters from\nbedroom with newspaper) Hey, you done\nwith that?\n\nELAINE\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you're not reading it now.\n\nELAINE\nAll right, you can take it. But I want\nit back.\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah. So, ah, what're you guys gonna\ndo today?\n\nELAINE\nAh, this.

Yeah, that's tradition.\n(Turns back to the woman) Did you ever eat the bark of a pineapple?\n\n(Tabachnick and his assistant start to argue, then they start\nfighting)\n\nELAINE\nKramer!\n\nKRAMER\n(Trying to break up the fight) Uh..\nExcuse me..\n\n(Everyone's watching the fight.

(A woman, angry at Jerry, approaches\nhim. Jerry looks confused) Remember\nme?\n\nJERRY\nI'm sorry, I..\n\nMARY\n(Livid) Mary Contardi. No? Doesn't ring\na bell, Jerry?

Said you'd\ncall me the next day.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm sure I meant to call.. I probably\njust lost your..\n\nMARY\nLiar! Liar! You were never going to\ncall me! You thought you could waltz\nthrought the rest of your life and never\nbump into me again! But you were wrong,\n\nJerry! You were wrong! What do you think, I'm some sort of poor,\npathetic wretch?!\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't think that..\n\nMARRY\nSome person who could be dismissed and\nignored?! Some insignificant piece of\ndust?! Some person who doesn't deserve\nyour respect and your\n\nattention?! You're the one that doesn't deserve my respect and\nmy attention! You're the insignificant piece of dust!\n\n(She feigns, spitting on the floor near Jerry's shoes, and storms\nout. Scene cuts to George.

You know,\nI had no idea..\n\nLESLIE\nElaine, you know, I was watching you\ntonight, and I realized something. You're\njust like you were in college.\n\nELAINE\n(Not sure if it was an insult or a compliment)\nOh, thank you. (Leslie leaves. Then\nElaine wonders to herself) \"Like you\nwere in college\"?\n\nLESLIE\n(Comes back, and yells in the direction\nof the bedroom) Come on! Let's go!\n\n(George comes out from the bedroom, carrying all the shower gifts\n- embarrassed)\n\nGEORGE\n(Sheepishly to Elaine) I'll be right\nback.

It's like\n\nright there, you know, it's not even down a little hall or off\nin an alcove.\n\nYou understand? There's no... buffer zone. So, we start to fool\naround, and\n\nit's the first time, and it's early in the going. And I begin\nto perceive this\n\nimpending... intestinal requirement, whose needs are going to\nsurpass by great\n\nlengths anything in the sexual realm. So I know I'm gonna have\nto stop. And as\n\nthis is happening I'm thinking, even if I can somehow manage\nto momentarily...\n\nextricate myself from the proceedings and relieve this unstoppable\nforce, I know\n\nthat that bathroom is not gonna provide me with the privacy that\nI know I'm\n\ngoing to need...\n\nJERRY\nThis could only happen to you.\n\nGEORGE\nSo I finally stop and say, \"Tatiana,\nI hope you don't take this the\n\nwrong way, but I think it would be best if I left\".\n\nJERRY\nYou said this to her after.\n\nGEORGE\nNo. During.\n\nJERRY\nOh, boy.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nWow! So...?\n\nGEORGE\nSo I'm dressing and she's staring up\nat me, struggling to compute this\n\nunprecedented turn of events. I don't know what to say to reassure\nthis woman,\n\nand worst of all, I don't have the time to say it. The only excuse\nshe might\n\npossibly have accepted is if I told her I am in reality Batman,\nand I'm very\n\nsorry, I just saw the Bat-Signal. It took me 3 days of phone\ncalls to get her\n\nto agree to see me again. Now she's waiting for me to call her,\nand she's\n\n(gestures towards woman on phone) still on the phone.\n\n(Elaine comes over)\n\nELAINE\nI hate this place. I don't know why\nwe came here, I'm never coming back\n\nhere again.\n\nJERRY\nWho is that woman?!\n\nELAINE\nRemember when you first went out to\neat with your parents? Remember,\n\nit was such a treat to go and they serve you this different food\nthat you never\n\nsaw before, and they put it in front of you, and it is such a\ndelicious and\n\nexciting adventure? And now I just feel like a big sweaty hog\nwaiting for them\n\nto fill up the trough.\n\nGEORGE\nShe's off. (goes over to the now available\npublic phone)\n\nELAINE\nJerry, talk to that guy again.\n\nJERRY\nWhat am I gonna say?\n\nELAINE\nTell him we wanna catch a movie and\nthat we're late.\n\n(as Jerry approaches Bruce, a man walks in)\n\nMR.

What in\nGod's name is going on here?!\n\nGEORGE\nShe's not there. She left. She must've\nwaited and left because those\n\npeople wouldn't get off the phone.\n\nJERRY\nDidja leave a message?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I told her to call me here and\nto tell anyone who answers the\n\nphone to ask for a balding, stocky man with glasses. I better\ntell him I'm\n\nexpecting a call.\n\nELAINE\nOh, Jerry, here comes that woman...\n\nJERRY\nWhere do I know her?\n\n(woman in stripes approaches Jerry)\n\nLORRAINE\nHello, Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nHeeeeyyyy...

He's gonna tell his wife, his\nwife's gonna\n\ncall my mother. Oh, this is bad, you don't know, the chain reaction\nof calls\n\nthis is gonna set off.

Do\nyou think that they have big\n\npicnic tables there?\n\nJERRY\nWell what do you suggest?\n\nELAINE\nI say we leave now, we go to 'Skyburger'\nand we scarf 'em down.\n\nJERRY\nI'm not going to 'Skyburger'. Besides,\nit's in the opposite direction,\n\nlet's just eat popcorn or something.\n\nBRUCE\nCartwright?\n\nELAINE\nI can't have popcorn for dinner!\n\nBRUCE\nCartwright?\n\nELAINE\nI have to eat!\n\nJERRY\nSo they have hotdogs there.\n\nELAINE\nOh, movie hotdogs! I rather lick the\nfood off the floor.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't go anywhere, I have to wait\nhere for Tatiana's call. Let me\n\njust check.\n\n(goes over to Bruce)\n\nGEORGE\nExcuse me, I'm expecting a call. Costanza?\n\nBRUCE\nYeah, I just got a call. I yell 'Cartwright!\nCartwright!', just like\n\nthat. Nobody came up, I hang up.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, was it for Costanza or...\n\nBRUCE\nYes, yes, that's it. Nobody answered.\n\nGEORGE\nWell was it a woman?\n\nBRUCE\nYeah, yeah. I tell her you not here,\nshe said curse word, I hang up.\n\n(George comes over to Jerry and Elaine, stunned)\n\nGEORGE\nShe called. He yelled Cartwright. I\nmissed her.\n\nJERRY\nWho's Cartwright?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm Cartwright!\n\nJERRY\nYou're not Cartwri-\n\nGEORGE\nOf course I'm not Cartwright! Look,\nwhy don't you two just go to the\n\nmovies all by yourselves, I'm not in the mood.\n\nELAINE\nWell me neither, I'm goin' to 'Skyburger'.\n\nJERRY\nSo You're not going?\n\nELAINE\nYou don't need us.\n\nJERRY\nWell I can't go to a bad movie by myself.\nWho am I gonna make sarcastic\n\nremarks to, strangers? Eh, I guess I'll just go to my uncle's.\n\nGEORGE\nShould we tell him we're leaving?\n\nELAINE\nWhat for? Let's just get out of here.\n\n(they all leave)\n\nBRUCE\nSeinfeld, 4?\n\n(closing monologue)\n\nJERRY\nHunger will make people do amazing things.\nI mean, the proof of that is\ncannibalism. Cannibalism, what do they say, I mean, they're eating\nand, you\nknow, \"This is good, who is this? I like this person\". You know,\nI mean, I\nwould think the hardest thing about being a cannibal is trying\nto get some very\ndeep sleep, you know what I mean? I would think, you'd be like,\n(pretending to\nwake up) \"Who is that? Who's there? Who's there? Is somebody\nthere? What do\nyou want? What do you want?

I don't, \"Oh, this\nis too rare. Oh, it's too salty.\" Just\neat it and shut up. I'll eat anywhere,\nwhatever they're having. I have eaten\nrotten rolls\n\noff of room service trays in hotel hallways. I have. It's not\na joke. This is my life. I don't know, somebody left it. Why\nwould someone poison a roll, and leave it in a\n\nhallway for some comic coming down at two o' clock in the morning?\nWhy would they do that? Sometimes you go to a nice restaurant,\nthey put the check in a little\n\nbook. What is this? The story of the bill? \"Once upon a time,\nthere were some very hungry people..\" What is this? A little\ngold tassle hanging down? Am I graduating\n\nfrom the restaurant? What is this about?\n\n(A restaurant)\n\n(Jerry, George, and Elaine are all eating at an Italian restaurant.\nGeorge hasn't eaten anything)\n\nELAINE\nDo you want some of mine?\n\nJERRY\nTake some of mine.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy do I get pesto? Why do I think I'll\nlike it? I keep trying to like it, like\nI have to like it.\n\nJERRY\nWho said you have to like it?\n\nGEORGE\nEverybody likes pesto. You walk into\na restaurant, that's all you hear -\npesto, pesto, pesto.\n\nJERRY\nI don't like pesto.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere was pesto 10 years ago?\n\nJERRY\n(Gesturing to a man) Look at that guy.\n(Elaine starts to look, but Jerry stops\nher) I'll bet you he's gettin' hair\ntransplants. Any time you see a guy\nthat age\n\nwearing a baseball cap, ten to one - plugs.\n\nELAINE\n(Elaine turns to look at the man, trying\nto make it sound like they aren't talking\nabout him) The thing about that painting..\nis with the colors and um.. (Turns\n\nback to Jerry) Oh yeah, plugola.\n\n(George has started eating Elaine's food - and continues to do\nso)\n\nJERRY\n(To Elaine) Oh, one more thing about\nthe car. Let it warm up for a minute.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's a tough minute. It's like waiting\nin the shower for the conditioner to\nwork.\n\nJERRY\nI don't understand why he couldn't take\na cab.\n\nGEORGE\nWho?\n\nJERRY\nElaine is having a \"houseguest.\" She's\npicking him up at the airport tonight.\n\nGEORGE\nA guy?\n\nELAINE\n(Slightly embarrassed) Yes, a guy.\n\nJERRY\nHe's from a.. Yakima, right?\n\nELAINE\nSeattle.\n\nJERRY\nEverybody's moving to Seattle.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's the pesto of cities. So..?\n\nELAINE\n(To Jerry) You tell him.\n\nJERRY\nWell, from what I can piece together,\nour friend here met a gentleman.\n\nELAINE\nEd.\n\nJERRY\nWho was in town on a business venture,\nand um..\n\nELAINE\n..We shared an interpersonal experience.\n(George hits his glass with his fork.\nTo Jerry) Go on.\n\nJERRY\nSo they went out a few times, but apparently,\nwhen the fellow returned home, he discovered\nthat the Benes tattoo does not wash\noff so easily.\n\nELAINE\nOn some people.\n\nGEORGE\nOooh.\n\nJERRY\nSo, he's coming in to stay with her\nfor a week.\n\nELAINE\nIt was just gonna be a weekend, but\nthen somehow it became a week.\n\n(The menu at a neighboring table catches fire. Elaine quickly\npicks up a wine glass - about to put it out, but George tosses\nthe menu on the floor, and stomps it out.\n\nThe manager approaches)\n\nMANAGER\nWhat happened?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, the busboy left the menu a little\nclose to the candle.\n\nMANAGER\nSorry to the disturbance.\n\nELAINE\n(Joking, she snobbishly says) I'm never\neating here again.\n\n(Manager leaves)\n\nJERRY\n(Pats George on the back) Nice going.\nThank you, that ought to get us a free\ndessert.. (They can see the manager\nchewing the busboy out from the dining\n\nroom doorway) I think the busboy's in trouble.\n\nGEORGE\nDid I get him in trouble? Because of\nwhat I said?! I just told him what happened..\nhe didn't do it on purpose.. (Mangager\nand busboy are arguing. The\n\nbusboy points in the direction of George) He pointed at me. Why\ndid he point at me?!\n\nELAINE\nI said I would never eat here again..\nBut, I, I.. he had to know I was kidding.\n\nJERRY\n(Casually buttering a roll, like he's\nthe innocent one) I didn't say anything.\n\n(The busboy takes of his apron, throws it down, and exits the\nrestaurant)\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe it. He's going! He's\nfired!\n\nELAINE\nOh, I said it in a kidding way.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't know he'd get fired.\n\nJERRY\n(Jokingly trying to put more pressure\non Elaine and George) He'll probably\nkill his family over this.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat if he's waiting for me outside?\nHe pointed at me! Did you see him point?!\n\nJERRY\n(Again, joking) A lot of ex-cons become\nbusboys. They seem to gravitate twards\n'em.\n\nGEORGE\nWas it my fault?\n\nELAINE\nWas it my fault?\n\nJERRY\n(Doesn't have a care in the world) ..Maybe\nI'll try that pesto.\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nLook, I feel bad for him too, but he'll\nget another job. I mean, let's face\nit, it's not a profession where you\nembellish your resume and undergo a\nseries of\n\ngrueling interviews.\n\nGEORGE\n(Eating a sandwich) Oh, like you really\nknow busboys.\n\nJERRY\nOh, like you do.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, at least I was a camp waiter.\n\nJERRY\n(Scoffing) Camp.\n\nGEORGE\nIt was a fat camp. Those kids depended\non me.\n\n(The intercom buzzes, Jerry talks through it)\n\nJERRY\nElaine?\n\nELAINE\n(Through intercom) Yeah.\n\n(Jerry pushes a button on the intercom - letting her in)\n\nJERRY\nBusboys are always changing jobs. That's\nthe business. I know. I work with these\nguys. I tallk to them in the kitchen\nat the comedy clubs.\n\nGEORGE\nThen why don't you try and get him another\njob?\n\nJERRY\nI'd love to, but I don't know anything\nabout him. He could be one of those\npeople that walks around the street\npricking people with pins.\n\n(Elaine enters)\n\nELAINE\nI don't know if you people are aware\nof this, but I am one clever chickadee.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? Did you get the busboy's number?\n\nELAINE\nHis phone's been disconnected, but I\nwas able to obtain an address - 1324\nAmsterdam Avenue, apartment 4D. (Hands\nGeorge a card) Now, I did my\n\njob. (To Jerry) May I have the car keys, please?\n\n(Jerry hands the car keys to Elaine)\n\nGEORGE\nHow did you get all this?\n\nELAINE\nDoes the word \"charm\" mean anything\nto you?\n\nJERRY\nNo. (George grabs his jacket) So now\nyou're going to his apartment? I really\nthink this is nuts.\n\nGEORGE\n(Putting his jacket on) I'd like to\napologize. I want to tell him I.. I..\ndidn't mean to get him in trouble.\n\nJERRY\nYou, you're going now?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I want to see if there's anything\nI can do.. maybe get him another job..\nmaybe I'll hear of something.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe the fat camp. (To Elaine) You're\nnot going?\n\nELAINE\nI would, but I have to pick up Ed at\nthe airport.\n\nJERRY\nI just don't think you should go alone.\nCan't you wait till after my set?\n\nGEORGE\nIt'll take to long.\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nJERRY\nTake the K-man. A little support..\n\nGEORGE\n(Unsure) I don't a..\n\nKRAMER\nTake me where? Where?\n\n(An apartment building hallway)\n\n(George's nervous - standing with Kramer infront of the busboy's\napartment)\n\nGEORGE\nLook, I really appreciate your coming,\nbut if you wouldn't mind - try not to\nsay too much.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat am I gonna say?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm not an idiot.\n\nGEORGE\nCertainly not.\n\nKRAMER\nThen we're cool.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.. yeah, we're - we're cool. (Knocks\nlightly. Kramer takes charge by knocking\non the door louder. The busboy answers)\nUh, I'm sorry to bother\n\nyou, I was in the restaurant earlier and I was wondering if I\ncould talk to you for a few minutes about what happened. (He\ngestures for them to come in. They obey)\n\nI hope I'm not interrupting anything. It's just that I think\nI may have - without realizing it - been responsible for getting\nyou fired. (Nervously laughs) And.. and.. and I\n\njust want you to know that I didn't intend for that to happen.\n\nKRAMER\n(Patting George on the shoulder) He's\na hell of a guy.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is a guy I know.. Kramer.\n\n(Antonio, the busboy, is watching them suspiciously)\n\nKRAMER\n\u00bfHabla espanol?\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) Oh my God.\n\nANTONIO\nSi.\n\nKRAMER\n\u00bfComo se dice.. waterbed?\n\nGEORGE\n(Interrupting) Anyway, I just wanted\nto let you know I'm really sorry that\nhappened, and if I can help out in any\nway, I'll certainly be glad to do that.\n\n(Pause) Well, I guess that's about it.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got anything to drink? \u00bfAgua?\n\nGEORGE\nOy uy uy.. (Antonio points to the sink)\nWe really should get going.\n\nKRAMER\nLet me get a glass of water. (Heads\ntward the sink)\n\nGEORGE\nHurry up.\n\nANTONIO\n(Notices that his cat is missing) Pequita?\nPequita? (Starts to panic)\n\nKRAMER\nHis cat's gone.\n\nANTONIO\n(Notes the door was left wide open)\nLa puerta esta abierta. (Starts screaming)\nLa puerta esta abierta! (To Kramer and\nGeorge) Who left the door\n\nopen? (Silence) Who left the door open?! (Kramer and George look\nat eachother) Come on, come on! Help me look! (All three head\nout the door to look)\n\n(Antonio's apartment)\n\n(All three sit in silence)\n\nKRAMER\n..You know, cats run away all the time.\nYou know, my aunt, she had a cat. Ran\naway. Showed up three years later..\nyou never know. They got things in\n\ntheir brains where they remember where they're from. Unless,\nof course, somebody else starts feeding him. See, that's what\nyou gotta worry about.\n\nGEORGE\n(Gestures for Kramer to shut up) Once\nagain, Antonio, I can't even begin to\nsay how deeply, deeply sorry I am about\neverything. The job, the cat.. (A\n\nlamp breaks) the lamp.\n\nKRAMER\nThe wire was sticking out.. (Fits the\ntwo broken pieces together) Yeah.\n\nGEORGE\n(Hands Antonio a card) Here's my card.\nI'm in real estate, so, if you're ever\nlooking for something bigger, something\nnicer.. (Antonio is staring at him,\n\nangered) ..maybe not right now. Anyway.. (Extends his hand for\na handshake. Antonio doesn't move)\n\nKRAMER\nYou oughta get that wire fixed. (They\ngo to leave) I got the door. (Shuts\nthe door, the broken lamp falls to the\nfloor)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\n(On the phone) George, stop worrying\nabout this guy. It wasn't your fault..\nCome on, he's not stalking you.\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\n(To Kramer) Hey. (To George) He doesn't\neven know where you live.. Who told\nyou to give him your business card?..\n(Intercom buzzes) That's Elaine.\n\n(Kramer buzzes her in. Jerry talks into the phone) Kramer.. (To\nKramer) George wants to know when you want to look for the cat\nagain.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's been a week. It's up to the cat\nnow.\n\nJERRY\n(Into phone) Kramer says it's up to\nthe cat now. (To Kramer) It'll be on\nyour conscience.\n\nKRAMER\nOh? How do you figure?\n\nJERRY\n(Into phone) How do you figure? (To\nKramer) 'Cause you're the one who left\nthe door open.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy was I in charge of closing the door?\n\nJERRY\n(Into phone) Why was he in charge of\nclosing the door? (Irritated at the\nphone message relay, to Kramer) 'Cause\nyou came in after him!\n\nKRAMER\nSo!\n\nJERRY\n(Into phone) So! (To Kramer - getting\neven more angry) So, the last person\nin should close the door!\n\nKRAMER\nLet me talk to him.\n\nJERRY\n(To Kramer) Talk - call him from your\nhouse. (Elaine enters. Kramer leaves.\nTo phone) He's calling you now.. okay.\n(Hangs up)\n\nELAINE\nEd's downstairs. CAn I have the car\nkeys?\n\n(Jerry pitches her the keys as she goes some tward his bathroom)\n\nJERRY\nNo hello?\n\nELAINE\nGot any asprin? (Finds some) Hello.\nNow, lookit, you guarantee this car\nwill get me to the airport tomarrow?\nNo problems?\n\nJERRY\nGuarantee? ..Hey, it's a car.\n\nELAINE\nBecause if there's even the slightest\nchance of any problem at all, I don't\nwant to take it - because if I don't\nget this guy on a plane to Seattle and\nout of my\n\nlife, I'm gonna kill him, and everyone who tries to stop me.\n\nJERRY\n(Jokingly asking) So, did you have a\nnice week together?\n\nELAINE\nI heard a little ping in the car last\ntime. What was that ping?\n\nJERRY\nThere's no ping. Why are you so wacky?\n\nELAINE\nJerry, you cannot imagine how much I\nhate this guy.. and he hasn't even done\nanything! It's the situation. He's a\nwonderful guy, but I hate his guts!\n\nJERRY\nSo, you two been, uh..\n\nELAIEN\nNo! I told him I've been having my period\nfor the last five days! I'm sleeping\nall squished over on the edge of my\nbed.. But, I've only got fourteen hours\nto\n\ngo. Nothing can go wrong now. I think I've taken care of everything.\nI've confirmed the plane reservation. I've checked the weather..\n\nJERRY\nWhat's your airport route?\n\nELAINE\nI've got it all mapped out - I'm taking\nthe tunnel.\n\nJERRY\n..What about the Van Wyck?\n\nELAINE\nI spoke to a cab driver. For five bucks,\nhe turned me on to the Rockaway Boulevard\nshortcut.\n\nJERRY\nOooh.\n\nELAINE\nNow, lookit, this plane leaves at 10:15.\nWe're getting up at about eight. That\ngives us enough time, right?\n\nJERRY\nYou still using that old alarm clock?\n\nELAIEN\nOh, no, no. I bought a new one today.\nIt's got everything - it's got everything...\nIf you oversleep more than ten minutes,\na hand comes out and slaps you in\n\nthe face.\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nFlying doesn't make me nervous - driving\nto the airport can make you very nervous\nbecause when you're flying, when you're\ngetting on the plane, if you miss\n\nthat plane, there's no alternative. On the ground, you have options.\nYou have buses, you have taxis, you have trains. But, when you're\ntaking a flight, if you miss it,\n\nthat's it. No airline goes, \"Well, you missed the flight, we\ndo have a cannon leaving in about ten minutes. Would you be interested\nin that? It's not a direct cannon,\n\nyou have to change cannons after you land.\" (Imitates cannon\noperator) \"I'm sorry, where you goin'? Chicago? (Cranks the cannon)\nOh, Dallas? Alright, wait a\n\nsecond.. (Cranks cannon to Dallas) Dallas. That's about Dallas.\nTexas, anyway. You should hit Texas. Are you ready? Make sure\nyou get out of the net\n\nimmediately, because we shoot the luggage in right after you.\"\n\n(Elaine's apartment)\n\n15 - they overslept. She gets frantic)\n\nELAINE\n(Trying to wake Ed up) Get up! The alarm\nclock didn't go off! (Shakes him) It's\n9:15! You're gonna miss the plane! It's\n9:15!\n\nED\n9:15?\n\nELAINE\nYes! 9:15!\n\nED\n(Going back to sleep) We'll never make\nit. I'll leave tomarrow.\n\nELAINE\nTomarrow?! Are you crazy? No, now, now!\nLet's go! (Gets his suitcase from the\ncloset, throws it on the bed, and frantically\nstarts packing) You get\n\ndressed! Get dressed!\n\nED\nCan I shower?\n\nELAINE\nShower?! ARe you out of your mind?!\n\nED\nI gotta shower. I'll feel dirty all\nday.\n\nELAINE\nForget the shower! The shower's out.\nMove it! Put your clothes on! Put your\nclothes on! (Pulls out drawers of clothes,\nturning them over in the suitcase.\n\nHe walks tward the door) Where are you going?\n\nED\nThe kitchen.\n\nELAINE\nThe kitchen?!\n\nED\nI've got a bag of cashews in there.\n\nELAINE\nThey're not making it! Let's get your\npants on!\n\nED\nWhat's the big deal if we don't make\nit? I'll just go tomarrow or the next\nday.\n\nELAINE\nNo! You have your ticket! You have to\ngo now!\n\nED\nI'll never make it.\n\nELAINE\nDon't say that!\n\nED\nBut it takes forty-five minutes to get\nthere. That'll only leave me five minutes\nto get to the plane.\n\nELAINE\nShut up and pack!\n\nED\nAnd what if I don't make the plane?\nYou'll have already left. Then what\nwill I do?\n\nELAINE\nYou're talking too much!\n\nED\nWhere's my sweater?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!\n\nED\nMy brown sweater.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? What sweater?\n\nED\nMy brown sweater.\n\nELAINE\nYou didn't bring a brown sweater.\n\nED\nI brought a brown sweater.\n\nELAINE\nHere! Here! You want a brown sweater?!\n(Recahes into one of her drawers, and\ngrabs a brown sweater, then packs it)\nYou got a brown sweater!\n\nED\nThat's not mine. I can't take your sweater.\n\nELAINE\nIt's brown! (Takes clothes still on\nthe hangers, and dumps them into the\nsuitcase)\n\nED\nWhat are you doing?!\n\nELAINE\nNO time for folding.. (Looks around)\nI think that's it. (Zips up the suitcase)\n\nED\nMy shoes. You packed my shoes.\n\nELAINE\nShoes? Shoes?! Shoes?! Shoes weren't\ninvented till the fourth century! People\nwalked around for thousands of years\nwithout them! (Puts her coat on over\n\nher nightie. He picks up his suitcase, she grabs it from him,\nthen pushes him out of her way) I got this. Let's go!\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nAnywhere in the city?\n\nGEORGE\nAnywhere in the city - I'll tell you\nthe best public toilet.\n\nJERRY\nOkay.. Fifty-fourth and Sixth?\n\nGEORGE\nSperry Rand Building. 14th floor, Morgan\nApparel. Mention my name - she'll give\nyou the key.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.. Sixty-fifth and Tenth.\n\nGEORGE\n(Scoffs) ARe you kidding? Lincoln Center.\nAlice Tully Hall, the Met. Magnificent\nfacilities.\n\n(Elaine enters. She's still wearing her nightclothes under her\ncoat. Her hair is messed up. She's been through quite an ordeal)\n\nELAINE\n(Slow, as if remember a dream) I never\nnew I could drive like that. I was going\nfaster than I've ever gone before, and\nyet, it all seemed to be happening in\n\nslow motion. I was seeing three and four moves ahead, weaving\nin and out of lanes like an Olympic skier on a gold metal run.\nI knew I was challenging the very laws\n\nof physics. At Queens Boulevard, I took the shoulder. At Jewel\nAvenue, I used the median. I had it. I was there.. and then..\nI hit the Van Wyck. They say no one's\n\never beaten the Van Wyck, but gentlemen, I tell you this - I\ncame as close as anyone ever has. And if it hadn't been for that\nfive-car-pile-up on Rockaway\n\nBoulevard, that numbskull would be on a plane for Seattle right\nnow instead of looking for a parking space downstairs.\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\n..The busboy's coming! The busboy's\ncoming!\n\nGEORGE\nThe busboy's coming?\n\nJERRY\nYou don't mean here?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. I just buzzed him in. He's on\nhis way up..\n\nGEORGE\nHe's coming up?! (Moves to the door)\nI'll check you out later.\n\nJERRY\nWhere are you going?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm the one he wants! He's coming to\nsettle the score.\n\nJERRY\n(Trying to get George and Kramer out)\nNo. You three all know each other. There's\nno point in me getting involved at this\nstage of the game.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, he's not going to do anything. I\nguarantee it.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, the hell with it. Let him kill me.\nI..\n\n(There's a knock in the hallway)\n\nKRAMER\nAntonio. In here!\n\n(Antonio enters)\n\nGEORGE\n(Nervous, his voice cracks) Hey, Antonio.\nHow's it going?\n\n(Antonio crosses over to George, and gives him a hug)\n\nANTONIO\nThree nights ago, a gas main beneath\nthe restaurant exploded, killing five\npeople in my section, including the\nbusboy who replaced me. If I am not\nfired\n\nthat night because of you and your thoughtless, stupid, insensitive\nremarks, it would have been me. You saved my life. (Hugs him\nagain)\n\nGEORGE\n(Trying to be modest) Ah, come on..\n\n(The intercom buzzes)\n\nELAINE\n(Into the intercom) Yeah?\n\nED\nIt's Eddie.\n\nELAINE\nHe's coming up. (Buzzes him in) He's\ncoming up..\n\nANTONIO\nAnd that very same night of the accident,\nwhile looking for Pequita, I found a\njob in a restaurant where they pay me\nalmost twice what I was making\n\nbefore - and when I returned to the apartment, Pequita, perhaps\nfrightened from the explosion, had miraculously returned. Well,\nbut now, I must go, for today I am\n\nstarting my new and wonderful job. And I am very late. Thank\nyou, thank you, thank you all. (Leaves)\n\n(Everyone ad-libs congratulations to George. Then, we hear a\nfight erupting from the hallway)\n\nED\nHey, watch were you're going. You almost\nknocked my head off!\n\nANTONIO\nHey, why don't you watch where you're\ngoing, okay? 'Cause you bumped into\nme!\n\nED\nWho do you think you're talking to,\npal?\n\nANTONIO\nHey, get your hands off me!\n\nED\nGo to hell!\n\n(Antonio screams out profanity in Spanish, then we hear them\ngetting into a serious fight)\n\n(Coffee shop)\n\nJERRY\nHe'll get another job. He's a busboy!\n\nGEORGE\nIt won't for a while. At least not until\nafter the cast comes off.\n\nJERRY\nIt was that fall down the stairs. That's\nwhat did it.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's not how it happened.

(Leaves)\n\nGEORGE\nI should probably get going too. If\nI don't feed Pequita by seven, she goes\nall over everything.. take it easy.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.. (Takes a bite of his sandwich\nas the waiter starts cleaning off the\ntable) How ya doing?\n\n(Night club)\n\nJERRY\nFirst of all, I can't believe that people\nactually do fight. People have fist\nfights in life. I can't really believe\nthat we have boxing either. It's really\nkind of an\n\namazing thing. To me, the problem with boxing is - you have two\nguys having a fight that have no prior argument. Why don't they\nhave the boxers come into the ring\n\nin little cars, drive around a bit, have a little accident? They\nget out, \"Didn't you see my signal?\" \"Look at that fender!\" ..Then\nyou'd see a real fight.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Note.html", "text": "THE NOTE\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David\n\nEvery time somebody recommends a doctor, he's always the best.\n\"Oh, is he good?\" \"Oh, he's the best.

I'd constantly be\nfeeling around\n\nwith my lips and my tongue.\n\nJULIANNA\nWell that's how my five-year old eats.\nHe's a very picky eater.\n\nJERRY\nYou hear about that kid that was kidnapped\nthe other day in\n\nPennsylvania?\n\nJULIANNA\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nHe was at a carnival with his mother.\nShe goes to get a hot dog, next\n\nthing you know she turns around, boom, he's gone.\n\nJULIANNA\nOh.\n\nJERRY\nImagine how sick a person has to be\nto do something like that.

I feel guilty about\ngetting the pleasure. I feel\n\nlike I don't deserve it so I talk. It stops me from enjoying\nit. There's\n\nnothing to eat in here.\n\nELAINE\nOh! I forgot to tell you--\n\nJERRY\nI'm in the middle of a story.\n\nELAINE\nOkay, go ahead.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy don't you ever go shopping?\n\nJERRY\nNot like it's a really funny story or\nanything.\n\nELAINE\nWhat happened?\n\nJERRY\nWell so she mentioned that she had a\nson, and the for some reason I\n\nlaunch into the story about the kid from Pennsylvania who was\nabducted.\n\nELAINE\nOh, wasn't that terrible?\n\nJERRY\nYes, it was.\n\nGEORGE\nNot even an apple.\n\nELAINE\nShe doesn't want to hear that, that\nwas stupid.\n\nJERRY\nI know it was stupid.\n\nELAINE\nReally stupid.\n\nJERRY\nHey, I just said it was stupid.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about this leftover Chinese food?\n\nJERRY\nTake it.\n\nELAINE\nI can't believe you said that.\n\nJERRY\nHey, would you stop it already?\n\nELAINE\nSo, what did she say?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know, she actually seemed to\nget a little paranoid.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is terrible. What is this, ginger?\nI hate ginger.

Could you\nfill these out for me\n\nplease? And Elaine, you'll be seeing Julianna, and George, you'll\nbe with\n\nRaymond.\n\nGEORGE\nExcuse me, did you say 'Raymond'?\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nYes.\n\nGEORGE\nBut, uh, Raymond is a man.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nThat's right.\n\nGeorge sits down slowly, letting this sink in.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't get a massage from a man.\n\nELAINE\nWhy not?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, are you crazy? I can't have a\nman touching me. Switch with me.\n\nELAINE\nNo, I don't want the man either.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's the difference, you're a woman.\nThey're supposed to be touching\n\nyou.\n\nELAINE\nHe'd just be touching your back.\n\nGEORGE\nHe'd just be touching your back too.\n\nELAINE\nNo, it could get sexual.\n\nGEORGE\nI know. That's the point. If it's gonna\nget sexual, it should get\n\nsexual with you.\n\nELAINE\nI wouldn't be comfortable.\n\nGEORGE\nI would? What if something happens?\n\nELAINE\nWhat could happen?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat if it felt good?\n\nELAINE\nIt's supposed to feel good.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't want it to feel good.\n\nELAINE\nThen why get the massage?\n\nGEORGE\nExactly!\n\nA man walks up dressed in white.\n\nRAYMOND\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\nYes?\n\nRAYMOND\nI'm Raymond.\n\nGEORGE\nHello.\n\nRAYMOND\nAre you ready?\n\nGeorge gets up cautiously and walks with Raymond.\n\nGeorge is on the table getting a massage from Raymond. George\nappears extremely\n\nuncomfortable.\n\nRAYMOND\n...And then Julianna asked me if I wanted\nto join her here in the\n\noffice.\n\nGEORGE\nReally.\n\nRAYMOND\nI used to be a flight attendant.\n\nGEORGE\nOh boy.\n\nRAYMOND\nYa know, why don't you open those pants,\nit's gonna be a lot easier\n\nthat way.\n\nGeorge loosens his pants, Raymond grabs them and yanks then down\nhis hips then\n\nstarts massaging his lower back.\n\nRAYMOND\nSo what do you do?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nRAYMOND\nI said, 'What do you do?'.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know.\n\nRAYMOND\nYou don't know what you do?\n\nGEORGE\nNah.\n\nRAYMOND\nOh, come on. Hey, you're very tense.\n\nGEORGE\nCoffee. Too much coffee.\n\nRAYMOND\nOkay, just take off those pants now,\nI'll work the hamstring.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, the hamstring's fine.\n\nRAYMOND\nBut you wrote that it was tender.\n\nGEORGE\nI wrote. Pfft, *I* wrote.\n\nRAYMOND\nI'll check it out.\n\nGEORGE\nAre you sure?\n\nRAYMOND\nYeah, take 'em off.\n\nGeorge gets up to remove his pants, he looks over and sees Raymond\nrubbing his\n\nhands with oil. Nervous, George pulls his pants down and climbs\nback on the\n\ntable. As soon as Raymond touches his leg, George becomes rigid\nwith\n\ndiscomfort.\n\nRAYMOND\nHow did you hurt this?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know.\n\nRAYMOND\nYou don't know?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nRAYMOND\nBut you just told me--\n\nGEORGE\nKorea.\n\nRAYMOND\nYou hurt it in Korea?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nRAYMOND\nThe hamstring.\n\nGEORGE\nKorea.\n\nRAYMOND\nHow?\n\nGEORGE\nHamstring.\n\nRAYMOND\nHow did you hurt the hamstring?\n\nGEORGE\nHotel.\n\nElaine is in the waiting room, George walks out very slowly,\nhe appears\n\npositively shell-shocked.\n\nELAINE\nHow'd it go? George?\n\nGeorge walks right out the door, ignoring Elaine.\n\nJerry's apartment, Jerry is on the phone.\n\nJERRY\nNo appointments at all? Because my neck\nis still tight. What about\n\nThursday? And Friday? Oh boy. Okay, thanks anyway.\n\nGeorge enters acting nervous.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's with you?\n\nGEORGE\nA...\n\nJERRY\nYes, A...?\n\nGEORGE\nA man gave me...\n\nJERRY\nYes, a man gave you...?\n\nGEORGE\nA man gave me... a massage.\n\nJERRY\nSo?\n\nGEORGE\nSo he... had his hands and, uh, he was...\n\nJERRY\nHe was what?!\n\nGEORGE\nHe was... touching and rubbing.\n\nJERRY\nThat's a massage.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd then I took my pants off.\n\nJERRY\nYou took your pants off?\n\nGEORGE\nFor my hamstring.\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nGEORGE\nHe got about two inches from... there.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nGEORGE\nI think it moved.\n\nJERRY\nMoved?\n\nGEORGE\nIt may have moved, I don't know.\n\nJERRY\nI'm sure it didn't move.\n\nGEORGE\nIt moved! It was imperceptible but I\nfelt it.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe it just wanted to change positions?\nYou know, shift to the other\n\nside.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. It wasn't a shift, I've shifted,\nthis was a move.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, so what if it moved?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's the sign! The test; if a man\nmakes it move.\n\nJERRY\nThat's not the test. Contact is the\ntest, if it moves as a result of\n\ncontact.\n\nGEORGE\nYou think it's contact? It has to be\ntouched?\n\nJERRY\nThat's what a gym teacher once told\nme.\n\nKramer enters.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nI just saw Joe DiMaggio in Dinky Donuts.\nYou know, I looked in there\n\nand there he was having coffee and a donut.\n\nJERRY\nJoe DiMaggio? In Dinky Donuts?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Joe DiMaggio.\n\nJERRY\nI'm sorry, if Joe DiMaggio wants a donut\nhe goes to a fancy restaurant\n\nor a hotel. He's not sitting in Dinky Donuts.\n\nKRAMER\nWell maybe he likes Dinky Donuts.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't even like to sit next to a man\non an airplane 'cause our knees\n\nmight touch.\n\nJERRY\nI can't see Joe DiMaggio sitting at\nthe counter in little tiny filthy\n\nsmelly Dinky Donuts.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy can't Joe DiMaggio have a donut\nlike everyone else?\n\nJERRY\nHe can have a donut, but not at Dinky.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't even like to use urinals, I've\nalways been a stall man.\n\nKRAMER\nLook I'm telling-- (he does a double\ntake and looks at George) I'm\n\ntelling you, that was Joe DiMaggio.\n\nGEORGE\nThe guy slept with Marilyn Monroe, he's\nin Dinky Donuts. What about\n\nthis doctor's note? Let's go see your friend Roy.\n\nJERRY\nI never said I'd do that.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you talking about, that's seventy-five\nbucks! I'm not\n\nworking, I can't afford that.\n\nJERRY\nI don't know how I feel about it.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, what are you, like, a Quaker now?\n\nJERRY\nAlright, alright.\n\nKRAMER\nA stall man, huh?\n\nGeorge and Jerry are in Roy's office.\n\nJERRY\n...so we were just kinda wondering if\nit was possible for you to write\n\nus a note, and if you can't, believe me, it's fine.\n\nGEORGE\nHe didn't say he can't.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, if you feel funny about it at\nall.\n\nGEORGE\nHe doesn't feel funny.\n\nJERRY\nIf he does.\n\nGEORGE\nDo you feel funny? He didn't say anything.\n\nJERRY\nHe feels funny. You don't have to do\nthis.\n\nGEORGE\nHe knows that!\n\nJERRY\nRoy, should we go? Is this a breach\nof our friendship?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, can you be any more dramatic?\n\nROY\nDon't be ridiculous. (Notices George\nlooking at a poster on the wall)\n\nHolyfield. He's a good friend of one of my patients. He's got\na hell of a\n\nbody, doesn't he?\n\nGEORGE\nHow would I know?\n\nROY\nDo you like him?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do you mean, like him?\n\nROY\nDo you like him?\n\nGEORGE\nI mean he's a good fighter and a nice\nguy but I don't like him.\n\nROY\nHow come you don't like him?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy should I?\n\nJERRY\nWhat is the matter with you?\n\nGEORGE\nNothing, why? You think something's\nwrong? Am I different?\n\nROY\nSo, you want the notes?\n\nJERRY\nYou don't have to, really.\n\nROY\nNah nah, it's ok.\n\nJERRY\nWe should probably get one for Elaine,\ntoo, right George? (turns to\n\nGeorge, who is staring intently at the Holyfield poster) George?\n\nJerry and Elaine are at Jerry's apartment, Jerry is on the phone.\n\nJERRY\nWell what about the week after? No appointments\nat all? (Jerry tries\n\nto sit down on the couch, but Elaine is too close to the end\nand he has to\n\nsqueeze in between her and the arm to sit down) Can I at least\njust talk to her\n\nso I can apologize? Forget it. (Hangs up) I can't believe this,\nI make one\n\ninnocent comment about some lunatic in Pennsylvania and I'm cut\noff. This woman\n\nis insane. (Looks at Elaine for a moment) What's with you?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nWell you were too close to me, I was\nall scrunched in there.\n\nELAINE\nHey, you scrunched me. I sat down here\nfirst.\n\nKramer enters.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I saw DiMaggio in the donut shop\nagain.\n\nJERRY\nUh huh.\n\nELAINE\nJoe DiMaggio?\n\nKRAMER\nJoe DiMaggio, you know this time I went\nin and sat down across from him\n\nand I really watched him. I studied his every move. For example,\nhe dunks.\n\nELAINE\nJoe DiMaggio dunks his donut?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's right.\n\nJERRY\nSee, now I know it's not him. Joe DiMaggio\ncould not be a dunker.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, he's a dunker.\n\nELAINE\nWhy couldn't he be a dunker?\n\nKRAMER\nAnd nothing diverts his attention. Like,\nI'm uh, you know, like I'm\n\nsitting in there, you know. And I start banging on the table,\nyou know, to uh,\n\nlook up, you know, Like I'm sitting there you know and uh, *bang*\n(slams the\n\ntable) You know, *bang* He wouldn't move. So then I start doing\nthese yelping\n\nnoises. Like, *yip* (high pitched yelping noises) *yip*. No reaction\nbecause\n\nthe guy is so focused, you see, he can just block out anything\nthat's going on\n\naround him. See, that's how he played baseball. He dunks like\nhe hits.\n\nELAINE\nSo then what?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, then the waitress, she comes up\nand she tells me to shut up or\n\nthey're gonna throw me out.\n\nELAINE\nWhy didn't you just call out his name?\n\nGeorge enters, his pants are ripped at the knee.\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened to you?\n\nGEORGE\nOne of those kids called me a Mary.\n\nELAINE\nA what?\n\nGEORGE\nI was jumping over a puddle and for\nsome reason I went like this.\n\n(George stretches out his arms in a ballet motion) They called\nme a Mary. So I\n\nchased them, and I tripped and I fell.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, you know kids, they can be very\nperceptive.\n\nELAINE\nHey, George? What is this? (Elaine makes\nthe same outstretched arm\n\nmotion) What is that? No really, what is that?\n\nGeorge heads for the bathroom, the phone rings, Kramer answers\nit, Jerry grabs\n\nit from him.\n\nJERRY\nHello? Oh, hi Roy. What? Oh my god,\nhow did this happen? What can I\n\ndo? Oh. I am so sorry. Okay. Bye. (Hangs up) That was Roy. He's\nunder\n\ninvestigation for insurance fraud.\n\nKRAMER\n...just a man and not a freak, Joltin'\nJoe DiMaggio. Joe,\n\nJoe. Go, Joe...\n\nJERRY\nI told you.\n\nGEORGE\nTold me what?\n\nJERRY\nI told you we shouldn't do it.\n\nGEORGE\nHe didn't say anything.\n\nJERRY\nHe's got a house, a family, they could\ntake away his license. You\n\nshould have heard him. Three notes, how stupid was that? We never\nshould have\n\ngot three notes.\n\nELAINE\nThree notes?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, you, me and George.\n\nELAINE\nYou got me a note?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nBut I got my own note.\n\nJERRY\nYou what?\n\nELAINE\nI got a note from my gynecologist.\n\nJERRY\nWhy'd you do that?\n\nELAINE\nI didn't know you were getting me a\nnote.\n\nJERRY\nOf course I was getting you a note.\n\nELAINE\nBut you didn't say anything.\n\nJERRY\nNeither did you, that's how he got caught.\nWe sent in four notes from\n\ntwo doctors.\n\nKRAMER\nHow can you do that to your friend?\nHe's got a wife, kids, and a lot\n\nof other stuff. Oh, yeah.\n\nKramer leaves.\n\nJerry and George are at Roy's office.\n\nJERRY\nHi Pam.\n\nPAM\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\nHello.\n\nJERRY\nI just thought maybe I could talk to\nRoy.\n\nRoy walks in.\n\nROY\nPam, did the x-ray from Mrs. Sloan...\nHi.\n\nJERRY\nHi Roy.\n\nGEORGE\nHow ya doing?\n\nROY\nCome on back, I have a patient but she's\nunder.\n\nRoy, Jerry and George are talking over a woman sleeping in a\ndental chair.\n\nJERRY\nI don't even know what to say.\n\nGEORGE\nMe neither.\n\nJERRY\nI knew this would happen.\n\nGEORGE\nMe too.\n\nJERRY\nI mean the whole thing, it's just...\n\nGEORGE\nTragic.\n\nJERRY\nWell it's not tragic.\n\nGEORGE\nNo?\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's...\n\nGEORGE\nUnsettling?\n\nJERRY\nOkay.

I've never been happy.\n\nJERRY\nI mean I'm happy sometimes, but not\nnow.\n\nGEORGE\nIn college, maybe. Those were fun times.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, college was fun.\n\nPam walks in again and interjects.\n\nPAM\nYou know the whole practice is in jeopardy,\nyou know that?\n\nROY\nDon't mind her.\n\nJERRY\nOh please, I love her.\n\nGEORGE\nI've just met her but I'm very impressed.\n\nROY\nI can't understand, I've never had a\nproblem with these notes before.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's the next move, what's gonna happen\nnow?\n\nROY\nWell, nothing really, as long as we\nget the physical therapist to go along\n\nwith our story.\n\nJERRY\nWhat? The physical therapist? Why?\n\nROY\nShe just has to say the complaint was\nrelated to a dental problem.\n\nThe woman in the chair wakes up and looks at Jerry and George.\n\nGEORGE\nHow ya doing?\n\nJerry and George are at Julianna's office.\n\nJERRY\nHi. Look, I know I don't have an appointment\nbut it's really important\n\nthat I talk with Julianna.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nI'm sorry, Mr. Seinfeld, she's not it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I know she's mad at me but I really\nhave to speak with her.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nI told you, she's not here.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't understand.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nLook, you have to leave.\n\nJERRY\nWait a second, don't you-- (Julianna\nwalks up with her child) Hi.

Run to the office and close\nthe\n\ndoor! (to the receptionist) Call the police!\n\nJulianna then runs down the hall.\n\nJERRY\nThe police?\n\nRaymond the masseuse walks up.\n\nRAYMOND\nHi George.\n\nGEORGE\nHello.\n\nJERRY\nRaymond?\n\nElaine, Jerry and George are at the coffee shop.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I mean it's only six months probation,\nit's a slap on the wrist.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I still don't see any dinner invitations\nforthcoming.\n\nGEORGE\nMen have been popping into my sexual\nfantasies. All of a sudden, I'll\n\nbe in the middle.\n\nELAINE\nOf what? Oh.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd a guy will appear from out of nowhere.\nI say \"Get out of here!\n\nWhat do you want? You don't belong here!\"\n\nELAINE\nWhat do they do?\n\nGEORGE\nThey talk back. They go, \"Hey George,\nhow's it going?\" I say, \"Get\n\nthe hell out of here!\"\n\nJerry spots Kramer through the window.\n\nJERRY\nHey, it's the K-man. (he bangs on the\nglass to get Kramer's attention)\n\nMaybe it's time you got as different hobby.\n\nKramer enters and sits at the booth.\n\nKRAMER\nI just came from Roy's. I threw up from\nthe gas.\n\nThe three all put down their coffee cups simultaneously.\n\nJERRY\nDid he say anything?\n\nKRAMER\nNo no, he's fine.\n\nJERRY\nOh my god, it's...\n\nGEORGE\nJoe DiMaggio.\n\nKRAMER\nWhere?\n\nJERRY\nHaving a cup of coffee.\n\nELAINE\nHe's dunking!\n\nJERRY\nWow.

Now that is a handsome man.\n(Elaine and Jerry look right at\n\nGeorge) Oh please.\n\nKRAMER\nWait, wait. *bang* (he slams his hand\ndown on the table) *bang*\n\n(again) *yip* (another high pitched yelping sound) *yip* See?\nI told you.\n\n(Closing monologue)\n\nWhat causes homophobia? What is it that makes a heterosexual\nman worry? I\nthink it's because men know that deep down we have weak sales\nresistance. We're\nconstantly buying shoes that hurt us, pants that don't fit right.\nMen think,\n\"Obviously I can be talked into anything. What if I accidentally\nwander into\nsome sort of homosexual store, thinking it's a shoe store, and\nthe salesman\ngoes, 'Just hold this guy's hand, walk around the store a little\nbit, see how\nyou feel.

(no movements)\nThere's\n\nnothing else I can do. That's why I like to wear a belt when\nI'm naked. Cause I\n\nfeel it gives me something, I know I'm naked, but you know, (tugging\nand\n\nlifting belt) I like to get pockets to hang off of the belt that\nwould be,\n\nwouldn't that be the ultimate? To be naked and still be able\nto do this (hand\n\nin pocket) I think that would really help a lot.\n\n=\n\nJerry's Apartment\n\nJERRY\nA mental institution?\n\nKRAMER\nYou know what they do in there?

Did he ever whisper\nin any episode? :-) Why do you need\nmore friends? You've got plenty of friends.\n\nHELEN\nHe's an idealist.\n\nMORTY\nWhat the hell are you looking for?\n\nJERRY\nI'm looking.

Listen Morty you wanna settle up\nfor last night? (Morty nods) All right.\nI owe you 19.45$ (he gets his checks\nbook and a pen from his pocket).\n\nMORTY\nWhat did you have? You had the minute\nsteak?\n\nJACK\nYeah.\n\nMORTY\nDid you have a coke or what?\n\nJACK\nI did NOT have a coke.\n\nMORTY\nSomebody had a coke.\n\nHELEN\nOh I had a coke.\n\nDORIS\nAnd I had the scampi.\n\nJACK\nSo that's 17.10$ and the tax and the\ntip.\n\nMORTY\nAll right.

It writes\nupside down. They use this in space.\n\nJERRY\nWow! That's the astronaut pen. I heard\nabout that. Where did you get it?\n\nJACK\nOh it was a gift.\n\nJERRY\nCause sometimes I write in bed and I\nhave to turn and lean on my elbow to\nmake the pen works.\n\nJACK\nTake the pen.\n\nJERRY\nOh no.\n\nJACK\nGo ahead.\n\nJERRY\nI couldn't\n\nJACK\nCome on, take the pen!\n\nJERRY\nI can't take it.\n\nJACK\nDo me a personal favor!\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm not...\n\nJACK\nTake the pen!\n\nJERRY\nI cannot take it!\n\nJACK\nTake the pen!\n\nJERRY\nAre you sure?\n\nJACK\nPositive!

Every\ntime he takes it out he goes on and\non about how it writes upside down,\nhow the astronauts use it.\n\nJERRY\nIf he likes it so much, he never should\nhave offered it.\n\nHELEN\nHe didn't think you'd accpet.\n\nJERRY\nWell, he was wrong.\n\nHELEN\nI know his wife. She has some mouth\non her. She'll tell everyone in the\ncondo now that you made him give you\nthe pen. They're talking about it right\nnow.

That's\nridiculous.\n\nJERRY\nHey I don't even want the pen now!\n\nMORTY\nJack can afford to give away a pen with\nall his money. Believe me. He gives\nme a check for 19.45. He didn't have\na Coke. Ho, ho, ho!\n\nELAINE\nHere, let me see it. (She takes a pad\nto try the pen) Hey, it wrtites upside\ndown.\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(condo's guest room)\n\n(Elaine is lying on the sofa bed. It's too hot.

You understand me?\n\nJERRY\nStay on Biscayne.\n\nHELEN\nYou're going underwater?\n\nJERRY\nYes.

The one Jack Klompus gave you.\n\nHELEN\nHow did you know that?\n\nEVELYN\nBlanche told me.\n\nHELEN\nBlanche?\n\nEVELYN\nThat's some good pen. It writes upside\ndown.\n\nELAINE\nThe astronauts use them.\n\nHELEN\nWhat did Blanche say?\n\nEVELYN\nI don't know.

Like my eyeballs were being\nsucked out of their sockets.\n\nHELEN\nI told you...\n\n(Jack enters, all dressed-up, smoking a cigar)\n\nJACK\nExcuse me. (to Helen) Doris would like\nto borrow red your pocketbook to go\nwith her shoes. (to Elaine on the floor)\nThe shoes have to match the pocketbook.\n(to the others) What's she doing?

He pratically\nbegged me for it.\n\nMORTY\nWhere do you come off with this crap?\n\nJACK\nListen, do you think I take everything\neverybody offers me? You offered me\nsponge cake yesterday. Did I take it?\n\nMORTY\nYou said you didn't want it!\n\nJACK\nOf course I wanted it! I love sponge\ncake!\n\nMORTY\nThen who the hell said you couldn't\nhave any? I mean what the hell do I\ncare whether you have sponge cake?\n\n(Jerry and Elaine can't beleive what they're hearing)\n\nJACK\nBecause I saw the look on your face\nlast week when I took the scotch tape!\n\nMORTY\nAhh!

I'll give it back!\n\nMORTY\nI don't want it!\n\nJACK\nI don't want it!\n\nMORTY\nYou know Jack, do me a favor will you?\nTake the pen and the scotch tape, and\nget the hell out of here!\n\nJACK\nListen do you think I give a damn?\n\nMORTY\nAah!

Well that'it\nfor them.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is going on in this community!\nAre you people aware of what's happening?\nWhat is driving you to this behavior?\nIs it the humudity?

O.K. (the photographer walks away)\nWhat about last year when I took him\nto the hospital every day? Did he ever\nsay thank you?\n\nJERRY\nOh God.

STELLA!\n\nLEO\nListen, you should get your cousin Jeffrey\nto write some material for you.\n\nMORTY\nWhat are you talking? Jeffrey works\nfor the parks department!\n\nLEO\nYou should read the letters he's written.\nHe's funnier than the whole bunch of\nyou! (Jack enters with Doris) Oh, here's\nJack.

And this year\nwe are honoring Morty Seinfeld (the\ncrowd applause and someone yells: Morty!)\nA man who slept more hours on the job\nthan Ronald Reagan.\n\nMORTY\n(to Helen) Slept on the job?

And he says\nthat according to the bylaws of the\ncondo constitution, they need six votes\nto throw you out for unruly behavior.\nNot five.

She felt\nthis gives you\n\na feeling of space. Have you ever heard this interior design\nprinciple that a\n\nmirror makes it seem like you have an entire other room? What\nkind of a jerk\n\nwalks up to a mirror and goes, \"Hey look, there's a whole nother\nroom in there.\n\nThere's a guy in there looks just like me.\" But the parakeet\nwill fall for\n\nthis, you'll let him out of his cage, he flies around the room,\nBANG! With his\n\nlittle head, he would just go 'click' Ohh! And I'd always think,\neven if he\n\nthinks the mirror is another room, why doesn't he at least try\nto avoid hitting the other parakeet?\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Library.html", "text": "THE LIBRARY\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry Charles\n\n(JERRY'S APARTMENT)\n\nJERRY\nLet me speak with the head librarian.\n...

It's OK I won't say anything.\n\nSECRETARY\nI don't know anything.\n\nELAINE\nAh, you don't know anything. You see,\n\"I don't know anything\", means there's\n\nsomething to know. If you really didn't know anything you would\nhave said \"You're crazy.\"\n\nLIPPMAN ENTERS\n\nELAINE\nOh, hi Mr. Lippman.\n\nLIPPMAN\nElaine,\n\nELAINE\nUm, uh, I was wondering if you got a\nchance to look at that, um, biography\nof\n\nColumbus, I gave you?\n\nLIPPMAN\nYes I did. Yes I did. ... Maureen this\nwater is still too cold.\n\nELAINE\nIt's freezing. ... Hurts your teeth.\n\nAT MONKS\n\nELAINE\nI'm tellin' ya' somethin' is goin' on.\nHe never likes anything I recommend.\n\nAnd then that lunch thing.\n\nJERRY\nSo they forgot to get your lunch. Big\ndeal!\n\nELAINE\nWhat do you know. You've never worked\nin an office. (TURNS TO GEORGE) See,\n\nyou've worked in an office. Jerry thinks I'm over reacting but\nyou understand, ... LUNCH!\n\nGEORGE\nI don't understand lunch, I don't know\nanything about lunch. Listen. Just because\n\nI got the guy fired doesn't mean I turned him into a bum - does\nit?\n\nELAINE\nWhat did he do?\n\nGEORGE\nHe purposely mispronounced my name.\nInstead of saying, \"Costanza\" He'd say,\n\n\"Can't stand ja\".\n\n\"Can't stand ja\" ... He made me smell my own gym socks once.\n\nJERRY\nI remember he made you wear a jock on\nyour head for a whole class. And the\nstraps\n\nwere hangin' down by his,...\n\nGEORGE\nOK, OK, I never even had him for gym.\n\nJERRY\nI had him for Hygene. Remember his teeth.\nIt was like from an exhumed corpse.\n\nGEORGE\nLittle baked beans\n\nJERRY\nEchh\n\nELAINE\nCome on tell me what happened.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, OK. As I said the guy had it in\nfor me. He actually failed me in gym.\n\n... ME!\n\nFLASHBACK TO HIGH SCHOOL LOCKER ROOM\n\nGEORGE\n... Those spastic shnitzer twins ...\n\nHEYMAN\nCan't stand ja ... Can't stand ja\n\nGEORGE\nYes, Mr. Hayman\n\nHEYMAN\nYour underwear was stick'n out of your\nshorts during gym class.\n\nGEORGE\nWell I guess that's because I wear boxer\nshorts.\n\nHEYMAN\nBoxer shorts, ha? Well what brand?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not really sure, I...\n\nHEYMAN\nWell let's take a look.\n\ngets a wedgie)\n\nBACK TO MONK'S\n\nGEORGE\nHe gave me a wedgie.\n\nJERRY\nHe got fired the next day.\n\nELAINE\nWhy do they call it a wedgie?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause the underwear is pulled up from\nthe back and ... it wedges in..\n\nJERRY\nThey also have an atomic wedgie. Now\nthe goal there is to actually get the\n\nwaistband on top of the head. Very rare.\n\nELAINE\nBoys are sick.\n\nJERRY\nWell what do girls do ?\n\nELAINE\nWe just tease some one 'til they develop\nan eating disorder.\n\nguy who ruined his life.\n\nKRAMER ENTERS\n\nKRAMER\nHey Babaloo, you better get home. You\nknow this guy Bookman from the library\n\nhe's waiting for ya.\n\nSTANDUP ROUTINE\n\nWhat's amazing to me about the library is it's a place where\nyou go in you can take\n\nout any book you whant they just give it to you and say bring\nit back when you're done.\n\nIt reminds me of like this pathetic friend that everbody had\nwhen they were a little\n\nkid who would let you borrow any of his stuff if you would just\nbe his friend. That's\n\nwhat the library is. A government funded pathetic friend. And\nthat's why everybody\n\nkinds of bullies the library. I'll bring it back on time ...\nI'll bring it back late.\n\n... Oh, what are you going to do? Charge me a nickel?\n\nJERRY'S APARTMENT\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm glad you're here, so we can\nget this all straightened out. Would\n\nyou like a cup of tea?\n\nBOOKMAN\nYou got any coffee?\n\nJERRY\nCoffee?\n\nBOOKMAN\nYeah. Coffee.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't drink coffee.\n\nBOOKMAN\nYeah, you don't drink coffee? How about\ninstant coffee?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't have--\n\nBOOKMAN\nYou don't have any instant coffee?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I don't normally--\n\nBOOKMAN\nWho doesn't have instant coffee?\n\nJERRY\nI don't.\n\nBOOKMAN\nYou buy a jar of Folger's Crystals,\nyou put it in the cupboard, you\n\nforget about it. Then later on when you need it, it's there.\nIt lasts\n\nforever. It's freeze-dried. Freeze-dried Crystals.\n\nJERRY\nReally? I'll have to remember that.\n\nBOOKMAN\nYou took this book out in 1971.\n\nJERRY\nYes, and I returned it in 1971.\n\nBOOKMAN\nYeah, '71. That was my first year on\nthe job. Bad year for libraries.\n\nBad year for America. Hippies burning library cards, Abby Hoffman\n\ntelling everybody to steal books. I don't judge a man by the\nlength of\n\nhis hair or the kind of music he listens to. Rock was never my\nbag. But\n\nyou put on a pair of shoes when you walk into the New York Public\n\nLibrary, fella.\n\nJERRY\nLook, Mr. Bookman. I--I returned that\nbook. I remember it very\n\nspecifically.\n\nBOOKMAN\nYou're a comedian, you make people laugh.\n\nJERRY\nI try.\n\nBOOKMAN\nYou think this is all a big joke, don't\nyou?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't.\n\nBOOKMAN\nI saw you on T.V. once; I remembered\nyour name--from my list. I looked\n\nit up. Sure enough, it checked out. You think because you're\na celebrity\n\nthat somehow the law doesn't apply to you, that you're above\nthe law?\n\nJERRY\nCertainly not.\n\nBOOKMAN\nWell, let me tell you something, funny\nboy. Y'know that little stamp,\n\nthe one that says \"New York Public Library\"? Well that may not\nmean\n\nanything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of\na lot.\n\nFlashy, making the scene, flaunting convention. Yeah, I know\nwhat you're\n\nthinking. What's this guy making such a big stink about old library\n\nbooks? Well, let me give you a hint, junior. Maybe we can live\nwithout\n\nlibraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old\nto change\n\nthe world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book,\nright\n\nnow, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of\npee-pees\n\nand wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers?\n\nDoesn't HE deserve better? Look. If you think this is about overdue\n\nfines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about\nthat\n\nthat turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks.\nYou and\n\nis over. Y'got seven days, Seinfeld. That is one week!\n\n(Marion sneaks into Kramer's apartment behind Bookman's back\nas he opens Jerry's\n\ndoor to leave)\n\nKRAMER'S APARTMENT\n\nKRAMER\nWhat's wrong?\n\nMARION\nIt's Bookman the library cop.\n\nKRAMER\nSo I didn't do anything wrong.\n\nMARION\nI'm supposed to be atwork. I could get\nfired. I shouldn't have come here.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy don't ya' leave?\n\nMARION\nI can't.\n\nJERRY'S DOORWAY\n\nJERRY\nNo way I'm payin' that! I returned that\nbook I n 1971. I have a witness\n\nSherry Becker. She wore an orange dress. She gave me a piece\nof black jack gum.\n\nIt's a licorice gum. What do ya' think of next I remember it.\n\n(thinks out loud, opens phone book) Becker, ... Becker, ...\n\nIN MONKS WITH SHERRY\n\nSH\nKevin went to a public school, he's\nthe 14 year old? We were gonna' send\nMarsha\n\nto a private school. Cause in some way they don't learn ... enough\n... I think.\n\nJERRY\nSo Sherry, what do you remember about\nthat day at the library?\n\nSH\nI remember it like it was yesterday.\nIt was a Friday afternoon. I wore a\npurple dress.\n\nJERRY\nPurple? Ya' sure it wasn't orange?\n\nSH\nPositive. And I was chewin' Dentyne.\nI always chewed dentyne. Remember Jerry?\nDentyne?\n\nJERRY\nNo Black Jack?\n\nSH\nLicorice gum? Never! We were reading\npasages to each other from that Henry\nMiller book,\n\nJERRY\nTropic of Cancer.\n\nSH\nNo, Tropic of Capricorn\n\nJERRY\nTropic of Capricorn?\n\nSH\nRememba? What holds the world togetha'\n... \"As I have learned from bitter experience\n\nis sexual intercourse .\"\n\nJERRY\nWait a second. Wait a second. You're\nright. I had both of them.\n\nWe read from TROPIC OF CAPRICORN. I was all set to return TROPIC\nOF CANCER. And then ...\n\nFLASHBACK TO LOCKER ROOM\n\nJERRY\nHere's the book. Don't let anybody see\nit. Don't let anything happen to it.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, it's me, George, don't worry,\nI'll return it\n\nJERRY\nOk, I'll see you after school. I.m late\nfor Hayman's hygiene.\n\nBACK TO MONKS\n\nSH\nWhere ya' going?\n\nJERRY\nIt was nice seeing you again. I just\nremembered something. I've got to go.\n\n(to old man that enters)\n\nIt was GEORGE!\n\nLIBRARY\n\nKRAMER\nRead another poem.\n\nMARION\nPressed chest fleshed out west Might\nbe the saviour or a garden pest.\n\nKRAMER\nWow, that is great. You should be published.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, the library is kind of a cool\nplace when it's closed.\n\nMARIAN\nOh, yeah. You don't have to be quiet.\nListen to the echo: HELLO!\n\nKRAMER\nHELLO!\n\nMARIAN\nHELLO!\n\nKRAMER\nHELLO!\n\nMARIAN\nHELLO!\n\nBOOKMAN\nHello!\n\nMARIAN\nMr. Bookman.\n\nBOOKMAN\nI remember when the librarian was a\nmuch older woman: Kindly,\n\ndiscreet, unattractive. We didn't know anything about her private\nlife.\n\nWe didn't want to know anything about her private life. She didn't\nhave\n\nlibrary closes at five o'clock, no exceptions.

That can't be good\n\nJERRY\nMaybe you're getting' a raise.\n\n(buzzer)\n\nELAINE\nMaybe I'm getting' a wedgie.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's George\n\nELAINE\nGeorge is on his way up.\n\nJERRY\nWait 'til I tell him about the book.\n\nKRAMER\n(reading) sobs\n\nELAINE\nAre you OK? What? What?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's marion's poetry. I can't take it\n(leaves sobbing)\n\nELAINE\nRemember that biography I recommended?\nMY BOSS HATED IT\n\n(Jerry enters).\n\nJERRY\nI'm right here.\n\nELAINE\nRemember that Columbus book?\n\nJERRY\nColumbus, Euro trash.\n\n(George enters)\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's definetly him.\n\nELAINE\nHim? Him who?\n\nGEORGE\nHim who? Hayman him.\n\nELAINE\nHayman The gym teacher? You found him?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I found him. He was sitting on the\nsteps of the library. I sat down\n\nnext to him. He smelled like the locker room after that game\nagainst Erasmus\n\nJERRY\nThat was double overtime.\n\nGEORGE\nSo I said, \"Mr. Hayman, It's me george\nCostanza, JFK, ... \" He doesn't move.\n\nSo I said uh, \"Can't stand ya'\", \"Can't stand ya'\" He turns and\nsmiles, the little\n\nbaked bean teeth. I get up to run away, but something was holding\nme back. It was\n\nHeyman. He had my underwear. There I was on the steps of the\n42nd St. library,\n\na grown man, getting a wedgie.\n\nELAINE\nAt least it wasn't atomic.\n\nGEORGE\nIt was.\n\nJERRY\nSo Georgie Boy, guess what happened\nto TROPIC OF CANCER\n\nGEORGE\nHow should I know?\n\nJERRY\nBecause I gave it to you.\n\nGEORGE\nMe?\n\nJERRY\nYesah, think.

I met you in the gym\nlocker room.\n\nGEORGE\nThe locker room!\n\nTHE LOCKER ROOM\n\nJERRY\nHere's the book. Don't let anybody see\nit. Don't let anything happen to it.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, it's me, George, don't worry,\nI'll return it tomorrow, no problem.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, I'll see you after school.\nI.m late for Hayman's hygiene.\n\nHEYMAN\nCan't Stand Ya'.\n\nGEORGE\nYes Mr. Hayman.\n\nHEYMAN\nYour underwear was stick'n out of your\nshorts during gym class.\n\nGEORGE\nWell I guess that's because I wear boxer\nshorts.\n\nHEYMAN\nBoxer shorts, ha?

You'll have\nto wait.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, is that necessary?\n\nMOTHER\nWhy don't you mind your own business?\n\nGEORGE\nI think hitting a defenseless child\nis my business.\n\nKID\nYou're ugly.\n\nGEORGE\n...What?\n\nKID\nYou're ugly.\n\nGEORGE\nYou are!\n\nKID\nYou are!\n\nTHE KID GETS IN THE CAR. GEORGE IS STUNNED.\n\nGEORGE\nI should've hit the little son-of-a-bitch.\nI can't stand kids. Adults think it's\nso wonderful how honest kids are. I\ndon't need that kind of honesty. I'll\ntake a deceptive adult over an honest\nkid any day.\n\nKRAMER\n(RE CAR) I found it!\n\nELAINE\nHe's got it.\n\nKRAMER\nOh...no.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, that's it. From now on no\nmore calling out they found it, unless\nwe're sitting in it. Okay?\n\nELAINE\nJerry, look at my fish.\n\nJERRY HOLDS UP THE BAG AND HITS IT WITH HIS FINGER.\n\nJERRY\nHis eyes look a little cloudy.\n\nGEORGE\nOh are they gonna be furious.\n\nJERRY\nWho's got the tickets? GEORGE I do.\n(TO KRAMER) I thought you knew this\nmall. You said you'd been here before!\n\nKRAMER\nIt was easy the last time.\n\nELAINE\nMy fish are dying right in front of\nme! We have to get someone to drive\nus around the parking lot to help us\nlook for the car.\n\nJERRY\nNo one's going to do that.\n\nELAINE SPOTS A FORTY-ISH, STYLISH COUPLE WALKING TO THEIR CAR.\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me, we can't seem to find our\ncar. I was wondering if it would be\npossible if you're not in a hurry, to\ndrive us around the garage for five\nminutes so we can look.\n\nMAN #1\n...Sorry.\n\nELAINE\nFive minutes.\n\nMAN #1\nCan't do it.\n\nELAINE\nWe're not wilding.\n\nTHEY LEAVE.\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me - I can't seem to find my\ncar - do you think you could drive me...\n\nTHEY START LAUGHING.\n\nELAINE\nOh that's funny? Is that funny? Well\ntell me if you think this is funny -\nThese fish are dying! They're gasping\nfor oxygen right now! They'll be floating\nin an hour. Is that funny too?\n\nTHEY IGNORE HER AND KEEP LAUGHING. CUT TO JERRY AND KRAMER.\n\nJERRY\nThose are really ugly sneakers. Where\ndid you get those?\n\nKRAMER\nRight here at the mall.\n\nBACK TO ELAINE, SEEKING OUT A MAN WITH A BEARD.\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me...\n\nHE IGNORES HER AND KEEPS WALKING.\n\nELAINE\nSorry to have disturbed you. Terribly\nsorry. But the fish will be dead. You\ndo know that. They can't live in plastic.\nThat's not me talking, that's science.\n\nCUT TO JERRY AND KRAMER.\n\nJERRY\nIt's amazing how shopping makes me have\nto go. All I have to do is walk into\na department store and it's like some\nkind of horse laxative just kicked in.\n\nKRAMER\nYou drank a whole bottle of water.\n\nJERRY\nI know.\n\nKRAMER\nSo why don't you just go?\n\nJERRY\nNo I can't.\n\nKRAMER\nDon't you get tired of following rules?\n\nJERRY\nYou think I'm too cautious?\n\nKRAMER\nWhy be uncomfortable if you don't have\nto? It's organic.\n\nJERRY\nOrganic. So's Buddy Hackett.\n\nKRAMER\nBuddy Hackett?\n\nJERRY\nHe's a comedian.\n\nKRAMER\nI know.\n\nJERRY\nAll right. All right.\n\nKRAMER\n(pointing) You can go over here.\n\nJERRY\nI can manage.\n\nKRAMER\n(turns away and spots George) George!\n(leaves scene)\n\nKRAMER It'll take you ten seconds.\n\nHE NUDGES JERRY.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, okay. I'll be right back.\n\nWE STAY WITH JERRY AS HE WALKS TO THE BACK OF A CAR, LOOKS AROUND\nLIKE SUPERMAN, THEN LETS FLY. HE FINISHES, ZIPS UP, THEN TURNS\nAND SEES A SECURITY GUARD STARING AT HIM WITH HIS ARMS FOLDED.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nOkay, let's go. Come with me.\n\nJERRY\nBut...\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nCome on.\n\nJERRY\n...Kramer\n\nINT. SECURITY GUARD'S OFFICE\n\nJERRY\nI've had this condition since I was\neleven! I've been in and out of hospitals\nmy whole life. I have no control over\nit. Doctors have told me that when I\nfeel it, the best thing to do is just\nrelease it. Otherwise, I could die.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nWell you're still not allowed.\n\nJERRY\nDo you hear what I'm saying to you?!\nI'm telling you that if I don't go,\nI could die. Die. Is it worth dying\nfor?\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nThat's up to you.\n\nJERRY\nSo you don't care if I die.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nWhat I care about is the sanitary condition\nof the parking facility.\n\nJERRY\nIt was life and death.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nUh huh.\n\nJERRY\nOh I'm lying. Why would I do it unless\nI was in mortal danger? I know it's\nagainst the law.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\nBecause I could get Uromysitisis poisoning\nand die. That's why!...Do you think\nI enjoy living like this?...the shame,\nthe humiliation...You know I have been\nissued a public urination pass by the\ncity because of my condition. Unfortunately\nmy little brother ran out of the house\nwith it this morning.\n\nJERRY\nHim and his friends are probably peeing\nall over the place. You want to call\nthe Department of Social Services? Oh,\nit's Saturday. They're closed today.\nMy luck.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nYou can tell the police all about it.\n\nINT. PARKING GARAGE - GEORGE, KRAMER, AND ELAINE.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry!\n\nELAINE\nJerry!\n\nGEORGE\nUnbelievable, I'm never gonna get out\nof here. The guy goes to pee, he never\ncomes back. It's like a science fiction\nstory.\n\nELAINE\nMaybe he went to one of the other levels.\nI'll go look for him.\n\nGEORGE\nOh now you're gonna go? ELAINE I'll\nbe back in five minutes.\n\nGEORGE\nIf you go now, I know what's gonna happen.\nWe'll find the car, Jerry will show\nup, and then we'll never find you.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, I'll be back.\n\nSHE LEAVES.\n\nGEORGE\nOh what's the difference? We'll all\nbe dead eventually.\n\nKRAMER\nDoes that bother you?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, it bothers me. Doesn't it bother\nyou?\n\nKRAMER\nNot at all.\n\nGEORGE\nSee now that bothers me even more than\ndying bothers me, cause it's people\nlike you who live to be a hundred and\ntwenty because you're not bothered by\nit. How could it not bother you?\n\nKRAMER\nI once saw this thing on T.V. with people\nwho are terminally ill. And they all\nbelieved the secret of life is just\nto live every moment.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. I've heard that. Meanwhile\nI'm here with you in a parking garage,\nwhat am I supposed to do?\n\nINT. SECURITY OFFICE - JERRY AND THE SECURITY GUARD.\n\nJERRY\nFirst of all you don't even know technically\nthat I went. That's for starters. I\nmean I could've been pouring a bottle\nof water out there. You don't know.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nI know what you did.\n\nJERRY\nOh really, do you? Well it just so happens\nthat I did pour water out. I had a bottle\nof very tepid water and I poured it\nout. And I could see how you made a\nmistake, because pouring water out sounds\nvery much like a person urinating.\n\nJERRY\nAnd you know when you think about it\nit's really quite an amusing case of\nmistaken identity. That's all it is.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nYeah I'm sure.\n\nJERRY\nYou know this is not the first time\nthis has happened to me. I always carry\nwater because of my condition. It dehydrates\nme. It's a vicious cycle.\n\nINT. PARKING GARAGE - ELAINE, LOOKING FOR JERRY.\n\nELAINE\nAnd now he's gone. I'm sure he's looking\nfor the car. Five minutes, that's all.\nI just want to find him.\n\nMAN #1\nI can't do it.\n\nELAINE\nBut why? Why can't you do it?\n\nMAN #1\nI can't.\n\nELAINE\nNo, see that's not a reason you can't.\nYou just don't want to.\n\nMAN #1\nThat's right.\n\nELAINE\nBut why? Why don't you want to?\n\nMAN #1\nI don't know.\n\nELAINE\nBut wouldn't you get any satisfaction\nout of helping someone out?\n\nMAN #1\nNo, I wouldn't.\n\nINT. SECURITY SHACK - JERRY (A NEW TACK) All right, all right.\nI want to apologize. I was frightened, I said crazy things. I\nobviously offended you. I insulted your intelligence. The uromysitisis,\nthe water bottle...I made it all up, and now...I'm going to tell\nyou the truth. Today my father and mother are celebrating their\nfiftieth, well I'm jumping ahead here, their forty-seventh wedding\nanniversary. We made arrangements to spend the evening together.\nThey are supposed to be in front of my building at six-fifteen.\n\nJERRY\nWhat I haven't told you, or anyone else\nfor that matter, is that my father's\nbeen in a Red Chinese prison for the\npast fourteen years.\n\nINT. PARKING GARAGE - GEORGE AND KRAMER, STILL LOOKING FOR THE\nCAR.\n\nKRAMER\nThe guy's got a fat fetish. Spector\nnever dates a woman under two hundred-fifty\npounds.\n\nGEORGE\nReally.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat does he do with all that fat? Does\nhe just jump up and down on it? Does\nhe gouge it like Killer Kowalski?\n\nGEORGE\nWho's Killer Kowalski?\n\nKRAMER\nHe was a wrestler. He would grab hold\nof someone's stomach and just squeeze\nit until they gave.\n\nGEORGE\nI've gotta go to the bathroom.\n\nKRAMER\nSo go.\n\nGEORGE\nHere?\n\nKRAMER\nYou and Jerry.\n\nINT. SECURITY OFFICE - GEORGE BEING LED IN BY THE SECURITY GUARD.\n\nGEORGE\nDon't you believe me? It's their fiftieth\nanniversary. You know this is gonna\nkill him. You're aware of that. Kill\nhim.

You know,\nthe one with the red peppers and orange\npeel at Szechwan Gardens? GEORGE Sure,\nI have it all the time. Very spicy.\n\nJERRY\nWell General Chang was a very flamboyant\nman.

Please\ndrive us around the parking lot to find\nour car. My fish are dying.\n\nMAN #2\nCan't do it.\n\nELAINE\nI can see not caring what happens to\nus, we're human. But what about the\nfish? The fish?\n\nMAN #3\nSorry.\n\nELAINE\nThat's right, go. Go home to your dumbbells.\nWork on your pecs. I'm really impressed.\n\nELAINE\nThat's right you heard me. You got a\nproblem with that?\n\nGEORGE\nElaine, shut-up.\n\nJERRY\nHey, where's Kramer?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know.

I will tell you\n\nTHIS\nUnfortunately, we live in a very superficial\nsociety. I don't condone\n\nit, but it's a fact of life.\n\nAUDREY\nWell, maybe I should.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat the hell.\n\nELAINE\nAw, now you talked her into getting\na nose job?\n\nGEORGE\nMe? I didn't say anything.\n\nELAINE\nYou encouraged her to get one.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't encourage. No encourage.\n\nELAINE\nPeter Jennings had one?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's possible.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I think you should accept her\nfor who she is.\n\nAUDREY\nNo, George is right.

She's gonna\nhave a whole new face.\n\nJERRY\nIt is exciting.\n\nGEORGE\nOf course, not as exciting as miss crop\ncircles, but...\n\nJERRY\nPlease, please, Isabel? She is the most\ndespicable woman I have ever\n\nmet in my life. I have never been so repulsed by someone mentally\nand so\n\nattracted to them physically at the same time. It's like my brain\nis facing my\n\npenis in a chess game. And I'm letting him win.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're not letting him win. He wins\ntill you're forty.\n\nJERRY\nThen what?\n\nGEORGE\nHe still wins but it's not a blowout.\n\nJERRY\nShe wants to be an actress. She makes\nme read these moronic acting\n\nscenes with her, and I do it because I'm so addicted to the sex,\nI'm helpless,\n\nI'll do anything. So finally Kramer comes in the other day.\n\n(flashback to Kramer and Jerry in Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nI don't want to see this woman anymore\nbut\n\nI haven't got the will power to throw out her number.

No, it didn't.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's like, all dented.\n\nELAINE\nSeems to be.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm sure they'll be able to fix\nit. You can't stop modern\n\nscience. Can't stop it, you can't stop it.

Look\nin the mirror,\n\ncause you need help, Jerry. You need help, because I can't stand\nby and do it\n\nanymore. It's turning my stomach! I can't stand around here watching\nyou\n\ndestroy yourself.

Wood, and uh, lava,\npretty dangerous.\n\nAUDREY\nI never heard that.\n\nGEORGE\nOh yeah. My friend lived there.\n\nAUDREY\nWe could go to the Caribbean.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, I have to tell you something.\nYou couldn't get me on a plane\n\nright now. I get those FAA reports directly. My uncle sends them\nto me, he\n\nused to be a pilot, so. Big investigation in the, uh, what's\nthe word there,\n\nuh, offing. It's in the offing.

Maybe\na hobby, bowling is fun.\n\nISABEL\nYeah, bowling's good if you're really\ngross and ugly.\n\nJERRY\nUh oh. My organs are playing chess again.\n\nCut to the table where a slightly translucent Jerry's brain is\nplaying chess\n\nwith a similarly visible Jerry's penis.\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nWell I'm getting a little tired of this.\nWhat do you say we\n\nplay one for all the marbles?\n\nJERRY'S PENIS\nOh Brain, what are you doing? You cannot\nbeat me. Do you have\n\nany idea who you're dealing with? Forget about it!\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nI can't take her anymore. I hate reading\nher stupid little\n\nacting scenes.\n\nJERRY'S PENIS\nOh, so what? So you read from a little\nplay. You can't put up\n\nwith that for an hour to make me happy? You're so selfish. Give\nme one hour,\n\nthen I will take over, you will not have to think for the rest\nof the night.\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nWhat about tomorrow morning? Do you\nhave any idea what that's\n\nlike for me? Do you care? No, you don't care. So long as you\nget to do\n\nwhatever it is you do. You disgust me.\n\nJERRY'S PENIS\nOh, go read a book.\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nEnough chatting, let's play.\n\nNew scene.\n\nElaine and Kramer are outside the landlord's apartment.\n\nELAINE\nYou know the only reason I'm doing this\nis because you took Audrey to\n\nthe hospital.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah, ok, now uh, you're clear,\nyou got\n\neverything?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nKRAMER\nWait wait wait wait wait.

I'm Wanda Pepper, I'm Albert\nPepper's daughter. My father\n\nasked me to come here and pick up his jacket for him.\n\nLANDLORD\nOh, hello Miss Pepper, it's a pleasure\nto meet you. (To Kramer) And\n\nyou must be Professor Von Nostrand?\n\nKRAMER\nYes, yes I am.\n\nLANDLORD\nI've read your book, Professor, and\nI was quite intrigued by it.\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yes. Well, it's, uh, very intriguing.\n\nLANDLORD\nTell me, is it your contention that\nShakespeare was an imposter?\n\nKRAMER\nMy contention?\n\nLANDLORD\nYes, your contention.\n\nKRAMER\nYes, that's my contention.\n\nELAINE\nI heard him contend that.\n\nLANDLORD\nIt's too bad about your father.\n\nELAINE\nOh, it was a frame-up.\n\nLANDLORD\nA fine man, he spoke often of you. He's\nvery proud of the work\n\nyou're doing.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well, we're all proud of the work\nI'm doing.\n\nKRAMER\nShe does fine work.\n\nLANDLORD\nYour father gave me strict orders not\nto turn the jacket over to\n\nanyone, but I suppose I can make an exception in your case. The\ncloset's this\n\nway.\n\nELAINE\nHow kind of you.\n\nLANDLORD\nYou know, your father has a very extensive\nwardrobe.\n\nKramer enters after Elaine, banging his pipe on the door frame.\n\nNew scene.\n\nJerry's Brain and Penis are still playing chess, Jerry's Brain\nappears to have\n\nthe upper hand.\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nWhat's the matter, fella? You look a\nlittle tired. Ha ha ha ha\n\nha!\n\nISABEL\nNelson, don't you see? You are a part\nof me, and I, I am a part of\n\nyou.\n\nJERRY'S PENIS\nIt's killing me. (Makes a move)\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nThat's your move?\n\nJERRY'S PENIS\nYeah.\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nWell that's trouble, my friend. That's\nbig trouble. Checkmate!\n\nJERRY'S PENIS\nGetting weak... Losing\n\npower... You haven't seen the last of me. I'll be back. You're\nnothing\n\nwithout me. Nothing!\n\nJerry's Penis disappears with an audible pop.\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nPunk.\n\nJERRY\nIsabel, uh, I don't think this is working.\n\nIsabel checks the script with a puzzled look on her face.\n\nBack to Elaine, Kramer and the landlord at Albert Pepper's apartment.\n\nELAINE\nDaddy certainly does have an extensive\nwardrobe.\n\nLANDLORD\nHe is a fine dresser and I'm sure I\ndon't have to tell you he's quite\n\npopular with the ladies.\n\nELAINE\nMy father, really? I had no idea.\n\nLANDLORD\nYes, they're crazy about him. There\nwas one in particular, came\n\naround about two years ago, looked a lot like you, Professor.\nCould have been\n\nyour mother. What was her name again? Carter? Kramer! That's\nit, Babs\n\nKramer. Nasty woman, many a night I had to throw her out on the\nstreet, drunken\n\nstumblebum.\n\nKRAMER\nYou don't say?\n\nELAINE\nI found it!\n\nLANDLORD\nThe woman used to walk around here half\nnaked, sucking Colt 45 from a\n\ncan. Her big fat stomach hanging out, orthopedic hose up to her\nknees,\n\nscreaming down the hall, \"Come back to bed, Albert, you big hairy\nape, and bring\n\nback that box of Danish!\"\n\nThroughout the landlord's narrative, Kramer becomes more and\nmore agitated.\n\nFinally, he grabs the pipe out of his mouth.\n\nNew scene.\n\nThe four are at their usual booth at the coffee shop.\n\nKRAMER\nSo I grabbed the guy by the collar.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, and I yelled out, Kramer! Kramer,\nyou're killing him!\"\n\nJERRY\nSo I assume the jig was up.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, pretty much.\n\nKramer shows off the fruits of their labor; he's wearing the\njacket. Audrey\n\nwalks in, her nose has been repaired and she's absolutely beautiful.\n\nAUDREY\nHi.\n\nELAINE\nHi!\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nAUDREY\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\nAudrey? My god, you look incredible!\nI can't believe it!\n\nAUDREY\nWell, it was his doctor. He was wonderful.\n\nELAINE\nSo, will I see you later tonight?\n\nAUDREY\nNot sure.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'll check\n\nyou guys out later. (To Audrey) Ready?\n\nAUDREY\nI didn't wash.\n\nKRAMER\nNeither did I. We're off to the Reggae\nLounge.\n\nELAINE\nIsn't she beautiful? Her nose is in\nsuch perfect\n\nproportion with the rest of her face. She's breathtaking! Who\nwould have\n\nthough she's like--\n\nGEORGE\nElaine.

I\ncan always tell when a woman likes\n\nme, they always somehow let you know. With me, they could torture\nme, I\n\nwouldn't tell them.

She said that?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nGet out of here.\n\nGEORGE\nI swear.\n\nJERRY\nWhat did you say?\n\nGEORGE\nI, I, I can't.\n\nJERRY\nWhat did you say?\n\nGEORGE\nPlease, it's--\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI... I... I long for you.\n\nJERRY\nI long for you?\n\nGEORGE\nI was so shocked I was lucky I said\nanything.\n\nJERRY\nIt's okay, that's not bad.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't like when a woman says, 'Make\nlove to me', it's intimidating.\n\nThe last time a woman said that to me, I wound up apologizing\nto her.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's a lot of pressure. Make love\nto me. What am I, in the circus?\n\nWhat if I can't deliver?\n\nJERRY\nOh, come on.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't perform under pressure. That's\nwhy I never play anything for\n\nmoney, I choke. I could choke tonight. And she works in my\noffice, can you\n\nimagine? She goes around telling everyone what happened? Maybe\nI should\n\ncancel, I have a very bad feeling about this.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, you're thinking too much.\n\nGEORGE\nI know, I know, I can't stop it!\n\nCut to Elaine, talking with yet another guy on the couch.\n\nELAINE\nWell, right now I'm reading manuscripts\nfor Pendant Publishing.\n\nJERRY\nPendant?

How could\nyou let him take the car?\n\nJERRY\nThere's nothing I could do, it's part\nof the code.\n\nMid-episode monologue\n\nAll plans between men are tentative.

They're\nnot unhappy.\n\nAVA\nOh yeah, right. Swim around in a bowl\nfor two weeks and get flushed down\n\nthe toilet, that's a good life. (To George) Let's go.\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah, that's right.

Have you ever dated a\nwoman that worked in your office?\n\nJERRY\nI've never had a job.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know the anxiety you feel on a date?\nThat's what I have every day\n\nnow. My worst nightmare's come true, every day is a date.\n\nJERRY\nThat's one of Dante's nine stages of\nhell, isn't it?\n\nGEORGE\nAva was one of the reasons I used to\nlike going to work, she was a\n\nfriend. Now we sleep together and suddenly, I don't know how\nto talk to her.\n\nEvery time I go to the bathroom I pass her desk. I have to plan\nlittle patter.\n\nI spend half my day writing. Then afterwards, I sit in my office\nand analyze\n\nhow it went. If it was a good conversation, I don't go to the\nbathroom for the\n\nrest of the day. I see her laughing and talking with other people,\nthey're all\n\nso loose and relaxed, I think, 'that used to be me. I want to\ngo back there\n\nagain.'\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you gonna do?\n\nGEORGE\nI have no choice, I'm quitting.\n\nCut back to Steve sitting alone on Jerry's couch watching TV.\nKramer walks in\n\nand it takes a moment for him to recognize the visitor.\n\nKRAMER\nThe party, Long Island?\n\nSTEVE\nKramer, right?\n\nKRAMER\nHey, what are you doing here?\n\nSTEVE\nI'm waiting for my ride.\n\nKRAMER\nWhere's Jerry?\n\nSTEVE\nHe split. Let me ask you something.\nIs there anything to drink in here\n\nor is that, like, a stupid question?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, Jerry, he doesn't have anything.\n(Sensing Steve's\n\ndisappointment) Well, but I might have something.\n\nCut back to Jerry and George at the drugstore. Jerry is selecting\nmedication.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'm gonna get this. This looks\ngood.\n\nGEORGE\nHow much is that?\n\nJERRY\nNine sixty.\n\nGEORGE\nNine sixty? Give it to me.\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nDon't worry, I got it.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean, you got it?\n\nGEORGE\nI got it.\n\nGeorge takes the box and begins to place it in his jacket.\n\nJERRY\nSince when are you treating me to medicine?\nWhat are you doing? You're\n\nstealing this, aren't you?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not stealing it. They owe me ten\ndollars. They stole from me.\n\nJERRY\nYou're a lunatic.\n\nGEORGE\nI have to do this, it's a matter of\nhonor.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you say to a person like you?\n\nGEORGE\nJust walk.\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nA security guard approaches George.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nScuse me. What do you got there?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nWhat do you got in your shirt?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I was gonna pay for this.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\n\nCome with me.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere are you taking me?

Are you gonna\ncall the police?\n\nThe Security Guard drags George away and Jerry steps to the counter.\n\nJERRY\nCan I still buy this or is this evidence\nnow?\n\nCut back to Kramer and Steve, they're obviously tanked. Kramer\nis in the middle\n\nof a story.\n\nKRAMER\nSo, I'm chasing these doves down the\nstreet and she's screaming at the\n\ntop of her lungs, and then when the magician comes back from\nEurope, two of them\n\nturned brown! Well I followed the instructions!\n\nThey both erupt in raucous laughter.\n\nSTEVE\nAh, they turned brown!! Brown!! (the\nlaughter winds down)\n\nSo let me ask you something, you know any women we could call?\n\nKRAMER\nNot really.\n\nSTEVE\nMaybe we should call one of those escort\nservices. I saw one of them\n\nadvertised before on the cable station.\n\nKramer (handing Steve the phone) 555-LOVE.\n\nSTEVE\nHey, you want in on this?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I got a girl in the next building\n\nNew scene.\n\nJerry is outside his apartment door, as he puts in the key, he\nhears a woman's\n\nvoice from inside.\n\nVOICE\nNow I want my money, mister, and I ain't\nleaving until I get it.

And tell Kramer thanks\nand I'll call him tomorrow.\n\nJERRY\nOh, Kramer huh?\n\nSTEVE\nYeah, he's a hoot. Oh, goodbye, my\ndear. (trying to kiss Patti's hand\n\nas she pulls it away) Ouch. (To Jerry) Weekend of the 26th,\ncome on out,\n\nwe're having another party.\n\nSteve walks out, leaving the front door open.\n\nPATTI\nI ain't leaving.\n\nJERRY\nPatti?\n\nPATTI\nYou got anything to drink?\n\nJERRY\nAlright, how much does he owe you?\n\nPATTI\nFifty dollars.\n\nJERRY\nFifty dollars.\n\nIn mid-payment, a police officer walks through the open door.\n\nCOP\nThis your apartment?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but--\n\nCOP\nYou're under arrest for solicitation\nof prostitution.\n\nJERRY\nWait a second, I--\n\nElaine walks in.\n\nELAINE\nI brought you chicken soup.

There's no call for that\nkind of attitude.\n\nGEORGE\nOne of the guys in my cell threw a piece\nof gum at him.\n\nJERRY\nOh, we all hated him.\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nThere's two types of favors, the big favor and the small favor.\nYou can measure\n\nthe size of the favor by the pause that a person takes after\nthey ask you to 'do\n\nme a favor.' Small favor, small pause. Can you do me a favor,\nhand me that\n\npencil? No pause at all. Big favors are, 'Could you do me a\nfavor...'

Next time\nI talk to him, maybe I'll bring\n\nit up. I'll feel him out.\n\nMid-episode Monologue.\n\nWhat do you think first aid was like though, like hundreds of\nyears ago? You\n\nknow, I mean they had no medicine, no drugs, no technology, no\nequipment.\n\nBasically, they were there first. That was it, that was the whole\nfirst aid.\n\nThey sit with you. That's all they could do. 'Can you help me?'\n'No, no we\n\ncan't help you, we were the first ones here, I don't know if\nyou know that. Did\n\nyou see out truck? First aid, that's our motto. We show up before\nanybody.'\n\nNew scene.\n\nJerry, George and Sid are in Jerry's apartment.\n\nSID\nNow you didn't tell me you didn't know\nhow to drive.

Most of them cancelled out on me.\n\nJERRY\nCan I get anybody anything?\n\nSID\nMoving cars from one side of the street\nto the other don't take no more\n\nsense than putting on a pair of pants. My question to you is\nwho's putting your\n\npants on?\n\nGEORGE\nI put my pants on, Sid.\n\nSID\nI don't believe you. If you can put\nyour pants on, you can move those\n\ncars.\n\nGEORGE\nWell I don't want to get into a big\ndispute about the pants.\n\nSID\nWho's gonna send money to my sister\nin Virginia?

A spokeswoman for the legendary\nfilmmaker said\n\nthat Mr. Allen was extremely agitated and wondered if his days\nof shooting\n\nmovies in New York were over.\n\nNew scene.\n\nElaine and Jerry are back at the car rental agency, Jerry's eating\na bag of\n\npretzels.\n\nELAINE\nFive seconds. Jerry, I was five seconds\naway from breaking up with\n\nhim. Five seconds. The next words out of my mouth were, 'Owen,\nit's over.'\n\nJERRY\nCan he communicate?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, well, he nods. And I think he\nunderstands me, he seems to enjoy\n\nit when I read to him.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, she's free. (Steps up to the\ncounter) Hi, I called before,\n\nuh, my car got smashed.\n\nELAINE\nSo listen, what should I do? I mean\nif I break up with him now it'll\n\nlook like I'm abandoning him because of his condition, I'll be\nostracized from\n\nthe community.\n\nJERRY\nWhat community? There's a community?\n\nELAINE\nOf course there's a community.\n\nJERRY\nAll these years I'm living in a community,\nI had no idea.\n\nAGENT\nSir the estimate on the damage to your\ncar is two thousand eight hundred\n\nand sixty-six dollars.\n\nJERRY\nHmm, well, I got the insurance and everything\nso...\n\nAGENT\nYes, now, uh, in your report you said\nthat you were not the driver of\n\nthe car at the time of the accident.\n\nJERRY\nThat is right, somebody else was driving.\n\nAGENT\nAlright, well, sir, you're only covered\nfor when you're driving the car.\n\nJERRY\nUh huh, what's that?\n\nAGENT\nYou're not covered for other drivers.\n\nJERRY\nOther drivers?\n\nAGENT\nUm hm.\n\nJERRY\nYour whole business is based on other\ndrivers. It's a rented car.\n\nThat's who's driving it, other drivers. Doesn't my credit card\ncover me or\n\nsomething?\n\nAGENT\nNot that particular one.\n\nJERRY\nWell I got a hundred cards, here, pick\na card, take a card, any card you\n\nwant, go ahead, whichever one, I don't care.\n\nAGENT\nSir, if you had read the rental agreement--\n\nJERRY\nDid you see the size of that document?\nIt's like the Declaration of\n\nIndependence, who's gonna read that?\n\nAGENT\nMr. Seinfeld, as it stands right now,\nyou are not covered for that\n\ndamage and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about\nthat.\n\nJERRY\nThese pretzels are making me thirsty.\n\nNew scene.\n\nElaine and Owen are at Owen's apartment, Owen is in a wheelchair\nand in\n\ngenerally unresponsive as Elaine feeds him soup.\n\nELAINE\nAhh, it's good, isn't it?

I have a wonderful time when I'm with you, wonderful!\nBut at this\n\npoint in my life, I'm not really sure that I'm ready to make\na commitment to one\n\nperson. I'm just not really sure that we have enough in common.\nFor example, I\n\nlike running in the park, bicycling, roller skating, tennis and\nskiing, and um,\n\nwell, I'm gonna be brutally honest with you now, Owen, it's a\nbitch to get here.\n\nIt's two subways.

Good question.\n\nGEORGE\nDo I smell?\n\nELAINE\nNo no no no, I was just down on the\nforty-second street subway today,\n\nit is disgusting. Guess who I bumped into.

He started crying. And\n\nhe yells out, 'I'm bleeding' and he runs off. Anyway, this woman,\nshe came up\n\nto me and she says, 'You're fired.' Boy I really nailed that\nscene.\n\nKramer drops a pair of gloves on the table. Jerry picks up the\ngloves.\n\nJERRY\nAw, wait a--. Oh.

Say that again?\n\nELAINE\nDo you see it or don't you?\n\nJERRY\nDo I see it... or don't I? That's the\nquestion.\n\nJerry goes to the counter and pours some scotch. He drinks it.\nHe comes back groggy.\n\nJERRY\nNow what did you ask me again.\n\nKramer is snoring.\n\n(Commercial)\n\n(Whew, Jerry is saved by the bell.)\n\nAt the office. Elaine is walking by.\n\nELAINE\nYou're still here. You're a dynamo.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe I get paid for this.\n\nELAINE\nI'll see you tomorrow.\n\nElaine walks out. George gets back to work. The cleaning lady\ncomes by.\n\nGEORGE\nHow you doing?\n\nCLEANING LADY\nHello.\n\nThe lady starts cleaning. George has a thought. He watches the\nlady as she is cleaning.\n\nAt Monk's.\n\nJERRY\nYou had sex with the cleaning woman\non your desk? Who are you, how did you\ndo that?\n\nGEORGE\nHennigans. I was there sitting in the\noffice and the cleaning woman comes\nin. I've always been attracted to cleaning\nwomen. Cleaning women, chambermaids.\n\nJERRY\nYeah chambermaids, I'm attracted to\nthem too.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy is that?\n\nJERRY\nIt's a woman in your room. So go ahead.\n\nGEORGE\nSo she starts vaccuming, back and forth,\nback and forth, her hips swivelling,\nher breasts, uh... (trying to think\nof a word)\n\nJERRY\nConvulsing?\n\nGEORGE\nConvulsing?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know, I'm trying to help you.\n\nGEORGE\nThen I asked her if she wanted a drink.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't drink.\n\nGEORGE\nI know but I couldn't think of anything\nelse to say to her.\n\nJERRY\nSo you started drinking.\n\nGEORGE\nSo we started drinking, and I'll tell\nyou I don't know if it was the alcohol\nor the ammonia, but the next think I\nknew she was mopping the floor with\nme.\n\nJERRY\nSo how was it?\n\nGEORGE\nWell the sex was okay, but I threw up\nfrom the Hennigans.\n\nJERRY\nGood thing the cleaning lady was there.\n\nAt Jerry's apartment.\n\nELAINE\nDick was fired.\n\nJERRY\nYou mean to tell me if I had put that\ndrink six inches over to the right,\nand none of this would have happened.\n\nELAINE\nYou knew he was an alcoholic. Why'd\nyou put the drink down at all?\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you saying?\n\nELAINE\nI'm not saying anything.\n\nJERRY\nYou're saying something.\n\nELAINE\nWhat could I be saying?\n\nJERRY\nWell you're not saying nothing you must\nbe saying something.\n\nELAINE\nIf I was saying something I would have\nsaid it.\n\nJERRY\nWell why don't you say it?\n\nELAINE\nI said it.\n\nJERRY\nWhat did you say?\n\nELAINE\nNothing. It's exhausting being with\nyou.\n\nJerry's buzzer buzzes.\n\nJERRY\nYeah?\n\nGEORGE\n(over the speaker) It's George.\n\nJERRY\nCome on up.\n\nELAINE\nHey, let me ask you something something.\nDid George buy that sweater knowing\nthe red dot was on it because it was\ncheaper? (Jerry is unconfortable) Ooookay,\nyou just gave me the answer.\n\nJERRY\nNo I didn't.\n\nELAINE\nYes you did, yes you did. I saw your\nexpression.\n\nJERRY\nI didn't have an expression. I have\na deviated septum. I have to open my\nmouth sometimes to breathe.\n\nELAINE\nHow much did he save?\n\nJERRY\nFrankly I am shocked that you would\nask such a question (Elaine sticking\nout her tongue like she isn't buying\na word of it) of me, that you would\nthink - the only surprise is how you\ncould even think of that. That's what\nyou were seeing.\n\nElaine gets up and goes into the bathroom.\n\nGEORGE\nI have to talk to Elaine. This cleaing\nlady is turning the screws on me. She's\npushing for this whole relationship\nthing. She keeps calling me, threatening\nto go to the boss with this thing, I\ncould lose my job, I gotta do something\nto keep her quiet.\n\nJERRY\nElaine is in the bathroom. She's wise\nto whole red dot thing. She's asking\nme all kinds of questions.\n\nGEORGE\nDid you tell her anything?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nDo you swear?\n\nJERRY\nI'm not swearing. I don't want to swear.\n\nGEORGE\nOh you told her didn't you.\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nELAINE\nHey George, did you buy that sweater\nknowing that red dot was on it because\nyou could get it at a discount?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? Did I what?\n\nELAINE\nYou did didn't you.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine, I'm, I'm shocked. I'm shocked.\nHere I go out in the spirit of the season\n(Elaine looking like she's not buying\na word of it) and spend all my savings\nto buy you the most beautiful Christmas\nsweater I have ever seen to show my\nappreciation to you at Christmas and\nthis is the thanks that I get at Christmas.\n\nELAINE\nWell Jerry told me that you did.\n\nGEORGE\nYou told her? How could you tell her?\nI told you not to say anything.\n\nJERRY\nI didn't tell her you stupid idiot.\nShe tricked you.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine you don't understand. I had 103\ntemperature when I bought that sweater.\nI was so dizzy I was seeing red dots\neverywhere. I thought everything in\nthe store had a red dot on it. I couldn't\ndistinguish one red dot from another.\nI couldn't afford anything. I have nothing.\nI haven't worked for a really long time.\n(Jerry is standing right behind George.\nJerry takes out a hankerchief and starts\nfake-crying in it.) I mean look, I have\nno clothes, look at what I'm wearing.\nIt's just a little red dot.\n\nAt the office.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is for you.\n\nLADY\nOh, Georgie, you bought this for me?\nOh I knew you cared for me.\n\nGEORGE\nAs you care for me. Which is why it\nis very important that you never breathe\na word of this to anyone about the...\nyou know. What, with Clarence Thomas\nand everything.\n\nLADY\nOkay, okay, can I open it now?\n\nGEORGE\nYes of course go ahead. My guess is\nyou're going to like this very much.\n\nLADY\nOh! Is that cashmere?\n\nGEORGE\nOf course it's cashemere.\n\nLADY\nA cashmere sweater. Oh Georgie Porgie!\n\nGEORGE\nJust a little something for Christmas.\n\nLADY\nWhen I was a little girl in Panama,\na rich American came to our town and\nhe was wearing the softest most beautiful\nsweater. I said to him, \"what do you\ncall this most beautiful fabric?\", and\nhe said \"they call it cashmere\". I repeated\nthe words \"cashmere, cashmere\". I asked\nif I could have it, and he said \"No.\nGet away from me.\" Then he started walk\naway. But I grabbed onto his leg screaming\nfor him to give me the sweater and he\ndragged me through the street. And then\nhe kicked at me with the other foot\nand threw some change at me. Oh, but\nI didn't want the change Georgie. I\nwanted the cashmere.\n\nGEORGE\nI had a feeling you would like it. No,\ndon't try it on now, try it on later.\n\nLADY\nWow, look at this. It feels so beautiful.\n\nGEORGE\nTake it off. You're going to ruin it.\n\nLADY\n(noticing the dot) What's this?\n\nAt the comedy club.\n\nJERRY\nI was in the men's room the other day\nand they had the hand blower, instead\nof the paper towels, you know this thing.\nI like the hand blower I have to say.\nIt takes a little bit longer, but I\nfeel when you're in a room with a revolting\nstench you want to spend as much time\nas you can.\n\nDICK\nThe only stench is comming from you.\n\nAUDIENCE\nOooooh.\n\nJERRY\nOh, wait a second, I believe we have\na heckler ladies and gentlemen. Hey\nDick I don't know what your problem\nis. It's not my fault you're back on\nthe wagon.\n\nDICK\nIt's off the wagon.\n\nJERRY\nIn the old days how do you think they\ngot the alcohol from town to town?\n\nDICK\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\nOn the wagon. Don't you think they broke\ninto a couple of those bottles along\nthe way?\n\nDICK\nYou can't drink on a wagon it would\nbe too bumpy.\n\nJERRY\nThey had smooth trails. What about the\nCumberland Gap?\n\nDICK\nWhat the hell do you know about wagons?\n\nJERRY\nI know enough not to get on them.\n\nIn the boss' office.\n\nBOSS\nI'm going to get right to the point.\nIt has come to my attention that you\nand the cleaning woman have engaged\nin sexual intercourse on the desk in\nyour office. Is that correct?\n\nGEORGE\nWho said that?\n\nBOSS\nShe did.\n\nGEORGE\nWas that wrong? Should I have not done\nthat? I tell you I gotta plead ingnorance\non this thing because if anyone had\nsaid anything to me at all when I first\nstarted here that that sort of thing\nwas frouned upon, you know, cause I've\nworked in a lot of offices and I tell\nyou peope do that all the time.\n\nBOSS\nYou're fired.\n\nGEORGE\nWell you didn't have to say it like\nthat.\n\nBOSS\nI want you out of here by the end of\nthe day.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about the whole Christmas spirit\nthing? Any flexability there?\n\nBOSS\nNah. Wait, wait, she wanted me to give\nyou this.\n\nHe tosses the sweater and it lands right on top of George's face.\nGeorge walks out of the office \"wearing\" it.\n\nIn the hall of the office.\n\nELAINE\nYou had sex on your desk with the cleaning\nwoman.\n\nGEORGE\nYou never had sex in the office before?\n\nELAINE\nNo. I once made out with someone but\nthat was it.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright so you made out with someone.\n\nELAINE\nWell that's not sex.\n\nGEORGE\nKissing is sex.\n\nELAINE\nKissing is not sex.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\nJerry.\n\nELAINE\nHey, did Jerry leave that drink next\nto Dick's on purpose?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\nOver here.\n\nELAINE\nWhat are you doing here?\n\nJERRY\nI'm taking the kid out to dinner to\nchear him up.\n\nELAINE\nHey Jerry when do you consider that\nsex has taken place?\n\nJERRY\nI would say when the nipple makes its\nfirst appearance.\n\n(Commercial)\n\nELAINE\nSo, George told me that you left the\ndrink next to Dick's on purpose.\n\nJERRY\nNice try. So guess who heckled me at\nthe club last night.\n\n*crash*\n\nDICK\nMerry Christmas.\n\nELAINE\nOh my god that's Dick. It's Cape Fear.\n\nGEORGE\nHide, hide under the desk.\n\nELAINE\nOw, ow move over.\n\nJERRY\nGet off of me.\n\nELAINE\nI've got no room.\n\nDick walks over dragging behind him a Christmas tree. He looks\ndown and notices them under the table. George holds out the sweater,\nhis hand shaking.\n\nDICK\nIs that cashmere?\n\nGEORGE\nOf course it's cashmere.\n\nDICK\n(noticing the dot) What's this?\n\nAt the comedy club.\n\nJERRY\nBut in a way, I think I inadvertantly\nturned this guy into an alcoholic. I\nhate being around alcoholics because\nthey're either telling you how much\nthey love you or how much they hate\nyou. And those are the two statements\nthat scare me the most. But I think\nhe's okay now because I have no idea\nhow he feels about me. He's finally\noff the wagon.\n\nDICK\nYou mean on the wagon.\n\nJERRY\nDon't get smart.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Subway.html", "text": "THE SUBWAY\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry Charles\n\n(Monk's Cafe, the whole gang at a booth)\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, Coney Island.

Then he's\n\ntelling us this story about how when he was a kid he was in the\ncar with his father, and\n\nhis father was trying to load one of them\n\nGEORGE\nWell they're hard to load.\n\nJERRY\nTell me something I don't know. So as\nthe father's trying to load it he loses\ncontrol\n\nof the car and it crashes into a high school cafeteria. Nobody's\nhurt but Pez is all\n\nover the car. And the dispenser was destroyed virtually beyond\nrecognition.\n\nGEORGE\nPoor kid.\n\nJERRY\nSo as he's telling the story he starts\ncrying.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat did you do?\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you think? I gave him my Pez\ndispenser.\n\nGEORGE\nWow\n\nJERRY\nTwo hours later he checks into Smither's\nclinic. I talked to the doctor yesterday.\n\nHe's doing great on the rehab. He's hooked on Pez.

All right,\nso what did you do?\n\nJERRY\nNothing.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, what kind of a man are you? The\nguy is unconscious in a coma and you\ndon't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend?\n\nJERRY\nI didn't know what the coma etiquette\nwas.\n\nKRAMER\nThere is no coma etiquette. You see\nthat's the beauty of the coma, man.\nIt doesn't matter what you do around\nit.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're saying, his girl, his car,\nhis clothes, it's all up for grabs.\nYou can just loot the coma victim.\n\nKRAMER\nI'd give him 24 hours to get out of\nit. They can't get out of it in 24 hours,\nit's a land rush.\n\nJERRY\nSo if the coma victim wakes up in a\nmonth, he's thrilled, he got out of\nthe coma. He goes home, there's nothing\nleft?\n\nKRAMER\nNOTHING LEFT! That's why I'm trying\nto get that vacuum cleaner.

I got to call her back.\n\n(Kramer exits)\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Fix-Up.html", "text": "THE FIX-UP\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry Charles & Elaine Pope\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nI tell ya, I never really understood the importance of the conductor.\nI mean\n\nbetween you and me, what the hell is this guy doing? Do you really\nneed\n\nsomebody waving a stick in your face to play the violin? Does\nthat really help\n\nyou out? I could see how we need him at the beginning. Okay,\ntap-tap-tap,\n\nstart. Okay, I can see how you need that. But once we're going,\nokay, once\n\nit's all happening, what do we need him for then? I don't see\nthe cellist\n\nlooking up, go, \"I'm confused. I don't know what to do. I don't\nknow what to\n\ndo.\" And the conductor goes, \"Do this. Like this\" \"Oh, okay,\nthank you very\n\nmuch.\"\n\nJerry and George are seated at a table in a restaurant.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy even try anymore? There's no sense\nto it. I'm never gonna meet\n\nanybody, I should just accept it.\n\nJERRY\nOh, yes you will.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I won't.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, maybe you won't.\n\nGEORGE\nI mean it's hard enough to meet a woman\nyou dislike, much less like.\n\nJERRY\nAre my nostrils getting bigger?\n\nGEORGE\nNo. Why must it be so difficult? Why\nis there all this tension and\n\nhostility? Why can't I just walk up to a woman on the street\nand say, \"Hi. I'm\n\nGeorge. How are you?\" Is that so terrible?\n\nJust then a beautiful woman walks past their table, George offers\nup a meek 'Hi'\n\nwhich the woman ignores as she passed. George then says 'Hi'\na few more times\n\nas he reaches for and drinks from his water glass, as though\nwe was saying that\n\nanyway and it had nothing to do with the woman. (Funnier to watch\nthan read.)\n\nElaine and a friend, Cynthia, are seated at a table in another\nrestaurant.\n\nCYNTHIA\nThere's just no men out there, you know?\n\nELAINE\nI know.\n\nCYNTHIA\nI mean the problem is that the good\nones know they're good. And they\n\nknow they're in such demand they're just not interested in confining\nthemselves\n\nto one person.\n\nELAINE\nI hate the good ones.\n\nCYNTHIA\nIs Jerry one of the good ones?\n\nELAINE\nThat's a good question, I think he thinks\nhe is.\n\nCYNTHIA\nWell, the mediocre ones are available,\nbut they're so insecure about\n\nnot being one of the good ones that they're always going, \"Well\nI'm not good\n\nenough for you, what are you doing with me?\" and eventually I\njust go, \"You're\n\nright.\"\n\nELAINE\nYou know, maybe you need somebody between\ngood and mediocre.\n\nCYNTHIA\nNo, maybe I need somebody who has nothing,\nsomebody who just has to\n\nappreciate being with me because he's so desperate.\n\nCut back to George and Jerry, George is eating sloppily.\n\nGEORGE\nI mean it's gotten to the point where\nI'm flirting with operators on\n\nthe phone. I almost made a date with one.\n\nJERRY\nOh, so there's still hope.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't want hope. Hope is killing me.\nMy dream is to become\n\nhopeless. When you're hopeless, you don't care, and when you\ndon't care, that\n\nindifference makes you attractive.\n\nJERRY\nOh, so hopelessness is the key.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's my only hope.\n\nCut back to Elaine and Cynthia.\n\nCYNTHIA\nSee, I wouldn't really mind so much,\nbut I feel badly for my mother.\n\nI mean, if my mother weren't around, it wouldn't be so bad. But,\nI'm telling\n\nyou, if I'm not married by the time I'm forty, I'm gonna have\nto kill her\n\nbecause it's the only fair thing to do. I just couldn't put her\nthrough that.\n\nELAINE\nWell, at least you're not bitter.\n\nCYNTHIA\nWho says I'm not bitter?\n\nELAINE\nAren't you too young to be bitter?\n\nCYNTHIA\nNo, you can be young and bitter, just\nmaybe not as bitter as I'm gonna\n\nbe ten years from now, but I'm bitter. Anyway, don't tell anyone.\n\nELAINE\nDon't worry, your bitterness is safe\nwith me.\n\nCYNTHIA\nUm, order me a piece of cake. I'm gonna\ngo throw up.\n\nJerry and Elaine are reading the newspaper at Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nLook at my hands. Look. Filthy from\nthe paper. You know, they should\n\ngive you a Wet-nap when you buy one, like at those rib joints.\n\nELAINE\nSo what'd you do last night?\n\nJERRY\nWent out with George, you?\n\nELAINE\nWent out with Cynthia.\n\nJERRY\nHow was it? What'd you talk about?\n\nELAINE\nWell, you know, the usual; The Federal\nReserve, the rainforest.\n\nCynthia thought we should nuke the rainforest, you know, get\nrid of it in one\n\nfell swoop so we can at least eliminate it as a subject of conversation.\nWhat\n\nabout you?\n\nJERRY\nWe brushed on that. Actually, George\nwas in rare form. He just can't\n\nfind anybody.\n\nELAINE\nI know, Cynthia too. She's really given\nup.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge too.\n\nThey look at each other for a moment.\n\nJERRY AND ELAINE\nYeah, right.\n\nJERRY\nI've never fixed anybody up.\n\nELAINE\nUh, me neither and I am not about to\nstart with George.\n\nJERRY\nWell why wouldn't you start with George?\nYou think she's too good for\n\nGeorge?\n\nELAINE\nI didn't say 'too good', did I say 'too\ngood'?\n\nJERRY\nWell you implied it.\n\nELAINE\nI didn't say it.\n\nJERRY\nBecause if you think she's too good\nfor George, you are dead wrong.\n\nDead wrong. Who is she?\n\nELAINE\nWho is he?\n\nJERRY\nHe's George!\n\nELAINE\nShe's Cynthia!\n\nJERRY\nSo what?\n\nELAINE\nWhat, you don't think she's beautiful?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know, what's with the eyebrows?\n\nELAINE\nYou know what your problem is? Your\nstandards are too high.\n\nJERRY\nI went out with you.\n\nELAINE\nThat's because my standards are too\nlow. And by the way, you know,\n\nwomen kill for eyebrows like that. Do you know that? I mean women\npluck their\n\nreal eyebrows out of their head, one by one, until they're bald,\nJerry. Bald\n\nabove the eyes! And then they paint in these eyebrows to look\nlike that.\n\nJERRY\nWell let me tell you something about\nGeorge. He is fast. He can run\n\nlike the wind. And he's strong. I've seen him lift a hundred\npounds over his\n\nhead without even knowing it. And you wouldn't know it to look\nat him, but\n\nGeorge can bait a hook.\n\nELAINE\nHe can really do that?\n\nJERRY\nCome on, let's do it, I think they'll\nreally get along.\n\nELAINE\nWhat, are you into this?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, come on, it's a good match.\n\nELAINE\nNo, wait a minute, wait a minute. They're\ngonna be telling us how\n\ntheir dates went. Are we gonna share that information?\n\nJERRY\nNaturally.\n\nELAINE\nWell, wait a minute, we're gonna tell\neach other everything, I mean\n\nevery secret?\n\nJERRY\nEverything.\n\nELAINE\nWhat if it worked out?\n\nJERRY\nYeah right.\n\nJerry and George are in Jerry's apartment.\n\nGEORGE\nOut of the question. Out of the question!\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nNo! I'm not gonna do that! That's one\nstep away from personal ads!\n\nAnd prostitutes! No! No, I am not going down that road! What\ndoes she look\n\nlike?\n\nJERRY\nShe's good looking.\n\nGEORGE\nHow good looking?\n\nJERRY\nVery good looking.\n\nGEORGE\nReally good looking?\n\nJERRY\nReally very good looking.\n\nGEORGE\nWould you take her out?\n\nJERRY\nYes, I would take her out.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, you hesitated.\n\nJERRY\nWhat hesitate? I didn't hesitate!\n\nGEORGE\nNo, something's off here, you hesitated.\n\nJERRY\nI'm telling you, she's good looking.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about the body, what kind of body?\n\nJERRY\nGood body, nice body.\n\nGEORGE\nHow nice?\n\nJERRY\nNice.\n\nGEORGE\nJust nice?\n\nJERRY\nPretty nice.\n\nGEORGE\nReally good?\n\nJERRY\nReally very nice and good.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about personality?\n\nJERRY\nGood personality. Funny. Bright.\n\nGEORGE\nSmarter than me? I don't want anyone\nsmarter than me.\n\nJERRY\nHow could she be smarter than you?\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, let's see, let's see. What\nelse. What else. Oh yeah, what\n\ndoes she do?\n\nElaine and Cynthia are having a similar discussion.\n\nCYNTHIA\nFirst of all, what does he do?\n\nELAINE\nHe was in real estate, um, now, he's\nnot working right now-\n\nCYNTHIA\nHe's not working?! How come he's not\nworking?\n\nELAINE\nWell, um, he, he got fired.\n\nCYNTHIA\nWhy did he get fired?\n\nELAINE\nUh. Why? Oh, right. Um, well, he tried\nto poison his boss.\n\nCYNTHIA\nExcuse me?\n\nELAINE\nSuch a long story, Cynthia, seriously,\nI mean he just had some problems\n\nat work.\n\nCYNTHIA\nIs he nuts?\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, no, he's a really really funny\nguy.\n\nCYNTHIA\nWhat does he look like?\n\nELAINE\nPardon?\n\nCYNTHIA\nWhat does he look like?\n\nELAINE\nUm, well, he's got a lot of character\nin his face. Um, he's short.\n\nUm, he's stocky.\n\nCYNTHIA\nFat. Is that what you're saying, that\nhe's fat?\n\nELAINE\nPowerful. He is so powerful, he can\nlift a hundred pounds right up\n\nover his head. And um, what else. What else. Oh, right. Um, well,\nhe's kind\n\nof, just kind of losing his hair.\n\nCYNTHIA\nHe's bald?\n\nELAINE\nNo! No, no, no, he's not bald. He's\nbalding.\n\nCYNTHIA\nSo he will be bald.\n\nELAINE\nYup.\n\nCut back to Jerry and George.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat kind of hair?\n\nJERRY\nYou know, long dark hair.\n\nGEORGE\nFlowing?\n\nJERRY\nFlowing?\n\nGEORGE\nIs it flowing? I like flowing, cascading\nhair. Thick lustrous hair is\n\nvery important to me.\n\nJERRY\n'Thick lustrous hair is very important\nto me,' is that what you said?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, that's right.\n\nJERRY\nJust clarifying.\n\nGEORGE\nLet me ask you this. If you stick your\nhand in the hair is it easy to\n\nget it out?\n\nJERRY\nDo you want to be able to get it out\nor do you want to not be able to\n\nget it out?\n\nGEORGE\nI'd like to be able to get it out.\n\nJERRY\nI think you'll get it out.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about the skin? I need a good cheek,\nI like a good cheek.\n\nJERRY\nShe's got a fine cheek.\n\nGEORGE\nIs there a pinkish hue?\n\nJERRY\nA pinkish hue?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, a rosy glow.\n\nJERRY\nThere's a hue. She's got great eyebrows,\nwomen kill to have her\n\neyebrows.\n\nGEORGE\nWho cares about eyebrows? Is she sweet?\nI like sweet. But not too\n\nsweet, you could throw up from that.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think you'll throw up. *She*\nlikes to throw up.\n\nCut back to Elaine and Cynthia.\n\nCYNTHIA\nHas he ever been married?\n\nELAINE\nNo.\n\nCYNTHIA\nHas he been close?\n\nELAINE\nHe once spent a weekend with a woman.\n\nCYNTHIA\nHe didn't really try to poison his boss?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, he did.\n\nThe next day, George is back at Jerry's.\n\nGEORGE\nWe had an incredible phone conversation.\nWe talked for like twenty\n\nminutes. I threw away my notes in the middle of the call. You\nknow, I thought\n\nshe had a great voice timbre. Is it timbre or tamber?\n\nJERRY\nI think it's tamber.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy'd I think it was timbre? Yeah, she\ncould do voiceover commercials,\n\nwhy didn't you tell me about her voice?\n\nJERRY\nI didn't notice the voice.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's mellifluous!\n\nJERRY\nSo, Saturday night.\n\nGEORGE\nShe had to be impressed by that conversation,\nhad to! It was a great\n\nperformance. I am unbelievable on the phone. On the date they\nshould just have\n\ntwo phones on the table at the restaurant, done.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nHi.\n\nGEORGE\nHey! Saturday night!\n\nELAINE\nI know!\n\nGEORGE\nSo, what did she say?\n\nELAINE\nShe said you're getting together Saturday\nnight!\n\nGEORGE\nThat's it?\n\nELAINE\nYeah!\n\nGEORGE\nShe didn't mention anything about the\nconversation?\n\nELAINE\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nNow, you see, I don't get that. We had\na relaxed stimulating, great\n\nconversation, she doesn't mention it? Why doesn't she mention\nit?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nShe could have mentioned the conversation.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, alright, I'll go on the date,\nbut that's that.\n\nKramer enters.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know my friend, Bob Sacamano?\n\nJERRY\nOh, the guy from Jersey?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. He just got a job at a condom\nfactory in Edison. Look at this,\n\nhe gave me a gross.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you gonna do with all of them?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, well... Come on, take some, Jerry.\nGrab 'em.\n\nJERRY\nNo thanks, they look like they came\nout of a cereal box.\n\nKRAMER\nCome on, Elaine, here, take half a bag.\n\nELAINE\nHalf a bag? What am I, a hooker? Anyway,\nthey look kind of cheap.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll take one. It's possible.\n\nMid-episode monologue.\n\nThe problem with the condom is still buying them. I think we\nshould have like a\n\nsecret signal with the druggist that you just walk into the drugstore,\nyou go up\n\nto the counter, he looks at you and if you go like this (nods)\nhe puts them in\n\nthe bag for you, that's it. You show up there, you put your little\nshaving\n\ncream, your little toothpaste, you know, \"How are you today?\"\n(nods) \"Have a\n\nnice day.\" \"You too.\"\n\nElaine and Jerry are on the phone, waiting for George and Cynthia's\ndate to end.\n\nJERRY\nSo where are they already, it's a quarter\nto twelve, they should be back\n\nby now, what did they do?\n\nELAINE\nI think they went out to dinner.\n\nJERRY\nWait, I got another call. That must\nbe him. (clicks over) Hello?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, it's me, I just got home.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hold on. (clicks back) It's George,\nhe just got home.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, I got Cynthia on the other\nline.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'll call you back as soon\nas I'm done.\n\nELAINE\nRemember our pact. Full disclosure.\n\nJERRY\nOf course. (clicks back to George) Yeah,\ngo ahead.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright look, I'm gonna tell you, but\nI made a pact with Cynthia, we\n\nswore we were not going to tell you and Elaine.\n\nJERRY\nYou can tell me, I'll vault it.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's in the vault?\n\nJERRY\nI'm locking the vault. What?\n\nGEORGE\nWe had sex.\n\nJERRY\nOh my god, you had sex, how did that\nhappen?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. I closed my eyes and made\na move.\n\nJERRY\nAt your apartment?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nShe didn't stay over?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, she left. Listen, you can't mention\nany of this to Elaine.\n\nCynthia will kill me, we made a deal.\n\nCut to Elaine on the phone with Cynthia.\n\nELAINE\nOh my god.\n\nCYNTHIA\nHe was uncomfortable because it was\nour first time so he felt he would\n\nperform better if we did it in the kitchen. He said the kitchen\nis always the\n\nmost sociable room in the house. And he was serious.\n\nELAINE\nSo? How was it?\n\nCYNTHIA\nHow good could it be? My head was on\na hot plate.\n\nELAINE\nWait, I got another call, that must\nbe Jerry.\n\nCYNTHIA\nOh wait, don't you tell him any of this.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, ok. (clicks over) Hello?\n\nJERRY\nSo, what did she have to say?\n\nELAINE\nWhat did he have to say?\n\nJERRY\nHe said they had a good time.\n\nELAINE\nHer too.\n\nJERRY\nOh, good.\n\nELAINE\nAnything else?\n\nJERRY\nNope. You?\n\nELAINE\nNope.\n\nJERRY\nYou sure?\n\nELAINE\nYup. You?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nAlright. Well uh, guess everything is\nunder control.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Okay then.\n\nELAINE\nAlright. Goodnight.\n\nJERRY\nGoodnight.\n\nJerry and George are at Jerry's apartment.\n\nGEORGE\nI left three messages. I can't believe\nthis woman. She has sex with\n\nme, leaves ten minutes later then I never hear from her again.\nWhat kind of a\n\nperson does this? I mean, she used me. I feel cheap and violated.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm gonna do something about this.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you gonna do?\n\nJERRY\nNevermind. Disgraceful. Leaves you sitting\nthere on the kitchen floor\n\nlike some kind of roach trap. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Sir,\nwhatever.\n\nShe's not going to get away with this.\n\nGEORGE\nI keep wracking my brain to try and\nfigure out what I did. I was\n\nsmart, I was funny, I made great small talk with the waitress\nso she could see I\n\ncould relate to the commoners, you know, I'm a man of the people.\n\nJERRY\nI'm gonna call her.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, don't call her.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm calling her.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, Jerry, don't call.\n\nJERRY\nNo, forget it, I'm gonna call.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't want you to call.\n\nJERRY\nGet away from me, I'm gonna call her.\n\nGEORGE\nGive me the phone!\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, do you wanna fight? Do you wanna\nfight?\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, I'm gonna kill you!\n\nKramer enters and gets between them to break up the fight.\n\nKRAMER\nHey hey hey!! Come on! Jerry, George,\nnow stop it!\n\nJERRY\nI'll just call her when you leave!\n\nGEORGE\nYou can't do that, it's none of your\nbusiness!\n\nJERRY\nIt is so my business!\n\nKRAMER\nHey hey hey! I don't want to hear another\nword out of either one of\n\nyou!\n\nGEORGE\nBut tell him to give me the--\n\nKRAMER\nAy ay ay! The next one of you that opens\nup your mouth, says\n\nsomething, you're gonna have to deal with me. You know, I bet\nI know what this\n\nis about. It's about a woman, isn't it?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but--\n\nKRAMER\nYeah yeah! You see, this is exactly\nwhat they want to do to you. They\n\nplay one against the other. You can't let them manipulate you\nlike that.\n\nJERRY\nBut Kramer--\n\nKRAMER\nNoh noh noh! I want you guys to shake\nhands. Come on, there are\n\nplenty of women out there for all of us, let's go.\n\nJerry and George shake hands.\n\nKRAMER\nYes. You see? Isn't that better than\nfighting? Animosity? I mean,\n\nyou wanna fight with somebody, you fight with me. Oh, by the\nway George, you\n\nknow those condoms I gave you? They're defective, don't use them.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nRight.\n\nGEORGE\nDefective?!\n\nKRAMER\nDefective.\n\nGEORGE\nHow could you give me a defective condom?!\n\nKRAMER\nI didn't even know they were defective.\n\nJerry gets between them to break up the fight.\n\nKRAMER\nDidn't even thin you were gonna use\nthem.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do you mean you didn't think I\nwasn't gonna use them?!\n\nJERRY\nTake it easy, you guys, just spread\nout! Don't worry about it, if\n\nanything was wrong she would have called you already!\n\nElaine answers her door, it's Cynthia.\n\nCYNTHIA\nI missed my period.\n\nELAINE\nOh my god.\n\nCYNTHIA\nI am very worried, I am never late.\n\nELAINE\nBut he used a condom, right?\n\nCYNTHIA\nI know, but these things aren't always\nfoolproof.\n\nELAINE\nOh no.\n\nCYNTHIA\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nWas it blue?\n\nCYNTHIA\nYeah. How'd you know?\n\nELAINE\nJust a hunch.\n\nJerry is in his apartment trying to open a bottle of soda.\n\nJERRY\nOw! Ow! Twist off! Twist off! Twist\noff!\n\nElaine walks in and give him a funny look.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi. Soda?\n\nELAINE\nNo thanks.\n\nJERRY\nSo tell me. What's the problem with\nyour little flaky friend? She\n\ndoesn't return calls?\n\nELAINE\nWho are you to talk about her like that?\nShe'll call him when she's\n\ngood and ready. You don't even know her.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I know her. I know her type.\n\nELAINE\nHer type? What type?\n\nJERRY\nThe type that doesn't return phone calls.\nI knew we shouldn't have done\n\nthis, it was a bad idea in the first place, I told you!\n\nELAINE\nYou told me? You pushed this whole thing\non me, it was your idea!\n\nJERRY\nI was just trying to help your bitter,\ntwisted friend.\n\nELAINE\nShe's not bitter!\n\nJERRY\nWell, bitter's a judgement call, but\nshe's twisted!\n\nELAINE\nTwisted? God, I did you a favor.\n\nJERRY\nI thought you said they had a good time,\nis there anything else you're\n\nkeeping from me?\n\nELAINE\nAre you calling me a liar?\n\nJERRY\nI'm calling you one if you are one,\nare you a liar?\n\nELAINE\nAre you?\n\nJERRY\nGet your finger out of my face.\n\nELAINE\nYou get yours out, I was here first!\n\nJERRY\nI don't care.\n\nELAINE\nGet it out!\n\nKramer walks in just as this argument begins to turn into a slap\nfight, and gets\n\nin the middle.\n\nKRAMER\nHey hey, alright, hey hey, stop it!\nCome on, break it up! What's the\n\nmatter with you? Now don't you two see that you're in love with\neach other? I\n\nmean, why can't you face that already? You're running around\nout there looking\n\nfor something that's not even there, when everything that you\ndream of is right\n\nhere, right here in front of you. Now why can't you admit that?\nBy the way,\n\nwhen you see George give him these, these'll work.\n\nELAINE\nI knew those condoms were defective!\n\nJERRY\nHow did you know they were defective?!\n\nGeorge walks in.\n\nELAINE\nBecause! Because she missed her period!\n\nGEORGE\nShe missed her period? Oh my god. I\ncan't believe it! I'm a father!\n\nI did it! My boys can swim! I can do it! I can do it!\n\nGeorge rushes out, hysterical.\n\nElaine and Cynthia are at a restaurant.\n\nCYNTHIA\nSo he shows up. He's all out of breath.\nHe's disheveled. And he\n\ntells me that no matter what happens, whatever I decide is fine\nwith him and\n\nthat I could depend on him, and that he would be there to support\nme in whatever\n\nway I need. Elaine, I was speechless.\n\nELAINE\nWow. Wow. You see? You think you know\nsomebody.\n\nCYNTHIA\nI said to him, \"I really appreciate\nthis, but I just got my period.\"\n\nAnd so, I asked him to come in, he came in--\n\nGeorge and Jerry walk up, Jerry is limping.\n\nELAINE\nHi!\n\nGEORGE\nSorry, we're a little late. We got so\nhung up in traffic.\n\nELAINE\nWhat happened?\n\nJERRY\nActing.\n\nELAINE\nVery mature.\n\nJERRY\nThank you. Hi Cynthia.\n\nCYNTHIA\nHi.\n\nJERRY\nWell this is a great place to sit you\ngot here.\n\nCYNTHIA\nBest seat in the house. (Looking at\nGeorge) right next to the\n\nkitchen.\n\nGEORGE\nStop it, stop it.\n\nJERRY\nSo what are these?\n\nELAINE\nOh, we ordered some appetizers. Start\neating.\n\nGeorge stars eating like a slob, Cynthia looks at him funny.\nYou get the idea\n\nthat the relationship has just ended.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is good. Oh, this is good.\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nHave you ever fixed anybody up? Why do we do it? Why? You thought\nthey would\n\nhave a good time.

Mets Phillies. We're\nenjoying a beautiful afternoon\n\nin the right field stands when a crucial Hernandez error to a\nfive run Phillies\n\nninth. Cost the Mets the game.\n\nKRAMER\nOur day was ruined. There was a lot\nof people, you know, they were\n\nwaiting by the player's parking lot. Now we're coming down the\nramp ... (cut\n\nto film of the day - like the Zabruter film - with the Umbrella\nman and\n\neverything - Oh so brilliant parody!!!) ... Newman was in front\nof me. Keith\n\nwas coming toward us, as he passes Newman turns and says, \" Nice\ngame pretty\n\nboy.\". Keith continued past us up the ramp.\n\nNEWMAN\nA second later, something happened that\nchanged us in a deep and\n\nprofound way front that day forward.\n\nELAINE\nWhat was it?\n\nKRAMER\nHe spit on us.... and I screamed out,\n\"I'm hit!\"\n\nNEWMAN\nThen I turned and the spit ricochet\nof him and it hit me.\n\nELAINE\nWow! What a story.\n\nJERRY\nUnfortunately the immutable laws of\nphysics contradict the whole premise\n\nof your account.

The spit then proceeds to ricochet off the\ntemple\n\nstriking Newman between the third and forth rib. The spit then\ncam off\n\nthe rib turned and hit Newman in the right wrist causing him\nto drop his\n\nbaseball cap. The spit then splashed off the wrist, Pauses In\nmid air\n\nmind you- makes a left turn and lands on Newman's left thigh.\nThat is one\n\nmagic luggie.\n\n(THE BRILLIANCE OF THIS SCENE IS THAT IT IS AN EXACT PARODY OF\nKEVIN COSTNER'S COURTROOM SCENE IN\n\nTHE FILM JFK - AND WAYNE KNIGHT PLAYED THE SAME POSITION IN BOTH!!!)\n\nNEWMAN\nWell that's the way it happened.\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened to your head when you\ngot hit?\n\nKRAMER\nWell. uh, well my head went back and\nto the left\n\nJERRY\nAgain\n\nKRAMER\nBack and to the left\n\nJERRY\nBack and to the left Back and to the\nleft\n\nELAINE\nSo, what are you saying?\n\nJERRY\nI am saying that the spit could not\nhave come from behind ... that there\nhad to have been\n\na second spitter behind the bushes on the gravelly road. If the\nspitter was behind you as you claimed\n\nthat would have caused your head to pitch forward.\n\nELAINE\nSo the spit could have only come from\nthe front and to the right.\n\nJERRY\nBut that is not what they would have\nyou believe.\n\nNEWMAN\nI'm leavin'. Jerry's a nut.

What are we gonna do now?\n\nThey're gonna know you're not O'Brien.\n\nGEORGE\nThere could be more than one O'Brien\non a plane who ordered a limo.\n\nJERRY\nFirst of all, you don't look like any\nO'Brien, period.\n\nGEORGE\nWell you should have been O'Brien.\n\nJERRY\nI don't want to be Murphy anymore; do\nI still have to be Murphy?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, you have to be Murphy.\n\nJERRY\nIt makes no sense now, me being Murphy.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're Murphy!\n\nJERRY\nI'm Seinfeld!\n\nGEORGE\nYou're Murphy!!

Mr. O'Brien\nhad a long trip, he's sleeping.\n\nEVA\nOh, well I don't want to disturb him.\nWe're just rather\n\nexcited to meet him face to face, finally. We're faithful readers\nof his\n\nnewsletter.\n\nJERRY\nNewsletter?\n\nTIM\nAnd of course, his great book, \"The\nGame\".\n\nJERRY\nOh, yes, he's very proud of his work\nin the big game.

I don't even\nknow why I'm doing this, I\n\ndon't even like basketball.\n\nKRAMER\nYou ever seen Michael Jordan?\n\nELAINE\nJust in those commercials.\n\nKRAMER\nMaybe you'll see him do one of those\nthree-sixty dunks.\n\nELAINE\nWhat's that?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, it's like this, here, you guard\nme.\n\nELAINE\nHuh?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nKramer then drives to 'the hoop' and tumbles headfirst into a\nbunch of garbage\n\ncans.\n\nCut back to 'O'Brien' and 'Murphy' in the limo.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think we're gonna make the tip\noff.\n\nTIM\nYou think someone's been tipped off?\n\nGEORGE\nSo, um, you've read \"The Big Game\",\nhave you?\n\nEVA\nYes I've read it and I've memorized\nit.\n\nGEORGE\nTell me your impressions, I would love\nto hear what a young woman\n\nthinks of \"The Big Game\".\n\nEVA\nWell, this is sort of embarrassing,\nbut it's changed my life. The way you\n\nanalyzed the game? The way you identify the major players? Well\nit left me\n\nbreathless. You're a brilliant, brilliant man.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's just a game. Remember that,\nkids.\n\nTIM\nJust a game. He's so humble. Don't forget\nwhat you wrote in the\n\nepilogue, the fate of the world depends on the outcome of this\ngame.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I was exaggerating a bit, just\nfor effect.\n\nJERRY\nHe tends to exaggerate.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay, I mean it's serious but--\n\nEVA\nWe are really looking forward to your\nspeech tonight.\n\nGEORGE\nUh, my speech?\n\nEVA\nYes, your secretary faxed me the copy.\nWould you like to look it over?\n\nJERRY\nWell you might as well look it over.\n\nCut back to Kramer and Elaine waiting on the corner.\n\nKRAMER\nSo what's going on, how did all this\nhappen?\n\nELAINE\nJerry and George called me from this\nlimo and they said we're all going\n\nto the Knicks-Bulls game.\n\nKRAMER\nLimo? I thought that George went to\npick him up.\n\nELAINE\nHe did.\n\nKRAMER\nWell then why would they take a limo\nfrom the airport?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's pretty strange. Did he say anything\nelse?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. He said, um, he said it's really\nimportant that we call them\n\nO'Brien and Murphy.\n\nKRAMER\nO'Brien. Why would he want to be called\nO'Brien?\n\nCut back to the limo, George is reading from O'Brien's speech.\n\nGEORGE\n...and the Jews steal our money through\ntheir Zionist occupied\n\ngovernment and use the black man to bring drugs into our oppressed\nwhite\n\nminority communities.\n\nJERRY\nYou're not going to open with that,\nare you?\n\nEVA\nWhat was that you said about the myth\nof the Holocaust?\n\nGEORGE\nI said so many things.\n\nSuddenly they hear a loud bang.\n\nGEORGE\nThey're shooting! They're shooting!\n\nTIM\nAlright, get down!\n\nThe limo comes to a screeching halt. Tim exits the limo to look\naround, Eva has\n\nfallen on top of George.\n\nEva. Ohhh. I'm ready to die for you.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's really very nice of you, Eva.\nThank you.\n\nEVA\nBut of course you know I would. I would\ndo anything for you. Anything.\n\nTim returns.\n\nTIM\nNothing to worry about, it was just\na flat tire. But rest assured, we're\n\nprepared to handle anything that might come up.\n\nTim opens a briefcase filled with firearms. Eva grabs one and\nstarts handling\n\nit sensually.\n\nJERRY\nNice looking Lugar.\n\nJodi Baskerville, reporting live.\n\nJODI\nI'm standing in front of the Paramount\nadjacent to Madison Square Garden\n\nwhere a growing number of vociferous and angry demonstrators\nare gathering to\n\nprotest the very first public appearance of Donald O'Brien, the\nleader of the\n\nmidwestern regional chapter of the Aryan Union, and reputed to\nbe their most\n\ncharismatic spokesman. The reclusive Mr. O'Brien is an advocate\nof the violent\n\noverthrow of the government. He has openly professed a deep admiration\nof Adolf\n\nHitler. Even David Duke has denounced him as a dangerous extremist.\nThere is a\n\nfull house inside awaiting his arrival from the airport. Sources\ntell me he is\n\nin route and should be arriving momentarily. Police have set\nup barricades, but\n\nquite frankly Bill and Jean, I don't think they're any match\nfor the emotional\n\nfuse that has been lit here tonight. Reporting from the Paramount,\nI'm Jodi\n\nBaskerville, back to you in the studio.\n\nCut back to Kramer and Elaine on the corner.\n\nKRAMER\nSomething's very strange. George goes\nto the airport to pick up Jerry.\n\nThey come back in a limo with four tickets to the basketball\ngame and wanna be\n\ncalled O'Brien and Murphy? O'Brien. O'Brien, why O'Brien?\n\nA group of people approach from the adjacent sidewalk. One of\nthem recognized\n\nElaine.\n\nDAN\nElaine?\n\nELAINE\nDan! Oh, hi Dan, how are you?\n\nDAN\nGood.\n\nELAINE\nUm, oh, this is um, Kramer.\n\nDAN\nOh, Kramer?\n\nThey shake hands.\n\nELAINE\nWhat's going on?\n\nDAN\nOh, we're heading down to protest this\nbig neo-nazi rally. The head of\n\nthe Aryan Union is speaking, he's in from Chicago. You should\ncome.\n\nELAINE\nOh, can't, I'm going to the Knicks-Bulls\ngame.\n\nDAN\nOh, well that's where the rally is.\nThe Paramount, right next door.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well, maybe we'll run into you.\n\nDAN\nYeah, yeah ok. It's really gonna be\nsomething, this is the first time\n\nhe's ever appeared in public, no one even knows what he looks\nlike.\n\nKRAMER\nWho?\n\nDAN\nThe head of the Aryan Union; O'Brien.\n\nCut back to the limo.\n\nJerry and George are alone inside.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's taking him so long out there?\n\nGEORGE\nDidja see the way she was looking at\nme?\n\nJERRY\nShe's a Nazi, George. A Nazi!\n\nGEORGE\nI know, I know. Kind of a cute Nazi\nthough.\n\nJERRY\nWell we gotta make a plan before they\ncome back, what are we gonna do?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\nLet's just make a run for it.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't run, I have a bad hamstring.\n\nJERRY\nHow'd that happen?\n\nGEORGE\nI hurt it in a hotel room. You know\nwhere they tuck the covers in real\n\ntight in those hotel rooms? I can't sleep like that so I tried\nto kick it out\n\nand I pulled it.\n\nJERRY\nI know, why do they make that bed so\ntight? You gotta sleep with your\n\nfeet like that.\n\nGEORGE\nFor a mental patient. Wait a minute,\nthe phone, we'll call the police.\n\nGeorge grabs the phone and dials.\n\nGEORGE\n9... 1... 1. She said she'd do anything.\nHello, police? Uh, yeah\n\nlisten, we're in the back of a limo in Queens--\n\nTim re-enters the limo.\n\nGEORGE\n--Astroturf? You know who's responsible\nfor that, don't you?! The\n\nJews! Ah, the Jews hate grass. They always have, they always\nwill.\n\nTIM\nWe'll be ready in a minute.\n\nGEORGE\nWould you excuse us for a minute Tim\nboy, we're kind of in the middle\n\nof something.\n\nTIM\nWith all due respect, Mr. O'Brien, we're\njust about to leave.\n\nGEORGE\nTim, who's the head of the Aryan Union,\nyou or me?\n\nTIM\nYou are.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd who's responsible for making hate\nmongering and fascism popular\n\nagain?\n\nTIM\nYou are.\n\nGEORGE\nGood. I think you forgot something.\n\nTIM\nI'm sorry.\n\nGEORGE\nGood. Now get out.\n\nTim leaves.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay, what are we gonna do?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, how's this? We wait till we\nget to your street corner, we see\n\nElaine and Kramer then we get out. They can't shoot us in the\ncity.\n\nJERRY\nNah. No one's ever been shot in the\ncity.\n\nCut back to Elaine and Kramer on the corner.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm telling you, something's going on.\nI can feel it, sense it.\n\nELAINE\nI'm sure he was just joking around.\n\nKRAMER\nOh no no no, this is no joke. O'Brien's\ncoming in from Chicago,\n\nJerry's in a limo, says he's O'Brien? That's not funny. Oh my\ngod. Yes. Yes!\n\nELAINE\nWhat is it?\n\nKRAMER\nDon't you see? There's always been something\nvery strange about Jerry,\n\nalways so clean and organized. Do I have to spell it out for\nyou? The limo?\n\nThe name? The rally at Madison Square Garden? Jerry, O'Brien\nare the same\n\nperson. Jerry is the leader of the Aryan Union!\n\nELAINE\nJerry's a nazi?!\n\nKRAMER\nI can't believe I didn't see it.\n\nELAINE\nListen, you idiot! Just calm down! I\nknow Jerry, he's not a nazi.\n\nKRAMER\nYou don't think so.\n\nELAINE\nNo, he's just neat.\n\nCut back to the limo.\n\nTIM\nYou know it's funny. You don't look\nlike an O'Brien.\n\nGEORGE\nMe??\n\nGeorge and Jerry laugh nervously.\n\nTIM\nAnd you really don't look like a Murphy.\n\nJERRY\nI may not look like a Murphy but I act\nlike a Murphy.\n\nGEORGE\nHe's extremely Murphy. He's Murphy to\na fault.\n\nTIM\nWhere are you from?\n\nJERRY\nDublin. Originally. Parents came over\nhere when I was eighteen.\n\nCereal famine. Couldn't get a bowl anywhere. Bad. 'Tis a beautiful\ncountry\n\nthough; lush rolling hills, and the peat, ah the peat.\n\nTIM\nSounds more like Scottish.\n\nJERRY\nWe were right on the border.\n\nCut back to the street corner.\n\nKRAMER\nMaybe he's with the company.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nThe CIA! Maybe they placed him in there\nto infiltrate the organization\n\nfrom within.\n\nELAINE\nWhat about his comedy act?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's the perfect cover! All that time\non the road? Look Jerry, he's\n\ntoo normal to be a comedian. These comedians, they're sick, neurotic\npeople.\n\nELAINE\nWhat about George?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat about him, he's part of it. His\nwhole personality is a disguise.\n\nNo real person can act the way he does. Elaine, I'm telling you\nthey're with\n\nthe organization. They're all part of it. He's in there with\nHelms and Hunt\n\nand Liddy, that whole crowd. George and Jerry, they probably\nknow who killed\n\nKennedy!\n\nELAINE\nI'll bet they were even in on it.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, what are we gonna do? I'm not\ngonna let him hurt you. (grabs\n\nand hugs Elaine tightly) I'm not gonna.\n\nELAINE\nKramer, you're hurting me!\n\nQuick cut to the now approaching limo.\n\nGEORGE\nThose are my friends I was telling you\nabout. We're gonna talk to\n\nthem, pull over.\n\nELAINE\nGet off of me!!\n\nThe limo pulls over and George and Jerry get out.\n\nKRAMER\nO'Brien.\n\nThis attracts the attention of Dan and his friends standing at\na nearby bus\n\nstop.\n\nMAN\nO'Brien? Is that him?\n\nMAN #2\nYeah, that's him.\n\nMAN #3\nLook there's O'Brien!\n\nMAN #4\nFilthy nazi bastard!\n\nALL FOUR\nLet's get him!!\n\nThey begin running full speed towards the gang.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do I do?! What do I do?!\n\nJERRY\nGet in the car! Get in the car!\n\nGeorge, Elaine, Jerry and Kramer all jump into the limo which\nspeeds off.\n\nKRAMER\nO'Brien. Long time no see. How's tricks,\nMurphy?\n\nTIM\nWhy did you call him O'Brien and him\nMurphy?\n\nJERRY\nNo, he was talking to me, he's cross-eyed.\n\nELAINE\nIt could be very confusing.\n\nThe limo phone rings Kramer answers it.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah? Eva?\n\nEVA\nIt's for me. (takes phone) Hello? (cups\nreceiver) It's O'Brien.\n\nKRAMER\nO'Brien? Well that's weird.\n\nEVA\nWho are you?\n\nGeorge and Jerry begin simultaneous explanations about how George's\ncar broke\n\ndown when he went to pick Jerry up at the airport.\n\nCut back to Jodi Baskerville, reporting live.\n\nJODI\nA limousine has just pulled up it's\nbeing surrounded by a huge group of\n\nprotestors, this has the makings of a very ugly scene.\n\nCut back to the limo, Elaine has joined the group explanation,\nnone of the three\n\nare intelligible at this point.\n\nJODI\nThey are banging on the car, trying\nto flip it over. The police seem\n\nunable or unwilling to control the crowd, I would imagine Mr.\nO'Brien must be\n\nhaving some very grave doubts if he made the right choice for\nhis first public\n\nappearance.\n\nCut back to the limo. The explanations are becoming more heated\nand less\n\nunderstandable, the limo is rocking violently and Tim and Eva\nare becoming\n\nunnerved.\n\nEVA\nGet out!!\n\nELAINE\nLook, it's Dan! Hi Dan!\n\nDAN\nElaine?\n\nELAINE\nHey!\n\nCut to George in front of a news camera, the on screen graphic\nsays 'DONALD\n\nO'BRIEN Leader of the Aryan Union'.\n\nGEORGE\nI am not O'Brien! I am not O'Brien!\nI'm not O'Brien! Ask anyone!\n\nJerry?! Jerry?!!\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nSo I was watching this movie the other night, it was a World\nWar Two movie and\n\nthere was Nazis in the movie and I noticed that the Nazis in\nthose movies always\n\nhad like two separate heils. They had like the regular heil that\nthey would do\n\nand then when they were around the offices they had like this\ncasual heil,\n\nremember that one, you ever notice that? They come in, yeah,\nheil, how are ya,\n\nis the kid back with the coffee yet? Come on, are you finished\nwith the copier?\n\nYeah. World domination, Aryan race, whose donuts are those?

Tell her.\n\n(Jerry looks at George with a grin)\n\nJERRY\nWell he kinda lost his temper, and he\nwas pushing me up against the\n\ncar. So I went into a karate stance. (Jerry assumes karate position\nand does\n\ntwo punches)\n\nELAINE\nYou know karate??\n\nJERRY\nI know a little.\n\nELAINE\nWell, this is so, amazing to me! Jerry\nwhat did he do?\n\nJERRY\nHe backed off. Pretty pathetic actually.\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\nHey! (Group does likewise)\n\nELAINE\nDid you tell Kramer?\n\nJERRY\nAh, nah!

I'll pay for you.\n\nGEORGE\nYou'll pay? I'm there.\n\nJERRY\nWhy do you even need anybody?\n\nELAINE\nBecause I hate being at a table alone,\nwith a married couple.\n\nTalking about their married friends, and their married furniture.\nThey're\n\nalways trying to make me feel like their life is so much better\nthan mine.\n\nYou know, I have a very exciting life. It's very exciting. (As\nshe's closing\n\nthe door to leave)\n\n(Scene moves to restaurant with Elaine, George, and the married\ncouple,\n\nMichael and Robin, sitting down talking, George is mainly focused\non eating\n\nhis meal)\n\nROBIN\nYou went out with a bullfighter?\n\nELAINE\nYes, well, an ex-bullfighter now.\n\nMICHAEL\nWow.\n\nROBIN\nWhat was his name?\n\nELAINE\nHis name?

Fighting? Because they don't really fight\nthe\n\nbull, they avoid fighting the bull.\n\n(Elaine and couple laugh, George points at the bread)\n\nGEORGE\nBread.\n\n(Elaine hands bread to George)\n\nELAINE\nI just love meeting new people. You\nknow that's how you really do\n\nlearn about life.\n\n(Robin sneezes, no one says anything, George lifts his head and\nlooks at\n\nMichael)\n\nGEORGE\nGod bless you.\n\n(Robin smiles)\n\nROBIN\nThank you.\n\nGEORGE\nI wasn't going to say anything, but\nthen I could see that he wasn't\n\ngoing to open his mouth. (Chuckles)\n\n(Michael stops pouring wine and looks seriously at George)\n\n(Scene moves to Jerry's car, where Jerry and hit-and-run woman\nare both\n\neating an ice cream cones)\n\nWOMAN\nYou know who's a good actor? Anthony\nQuinn.\n\nJERRY\nOh, Anthony Quinn, fine actor. But from\nwhat I understand, not a very\n\ngood driver. Hits everything on the road. But always leaves a\nnote.\n\nWOMAN\nDid you ever see Zorba the Greek?\n\nJERRY\nExcellent film. In fact Quinn said he\nnever felt so good as when he\n\nleft a note after smacking into a car.\n\n(Woman touches Jerry's hair, smiling)\n\nWOMAN\nCome here.\n\n(Scene moves back to restaurant where an argument has developed\nbetween\n\nMichael and George)\n\nGEORGE\nReally, I was, I was only kidding around.\n\nROBIN\nHe was only joking Michael.\n\n(Michael throws down his serviette)\n\nMICHAEL\nYou think you're so damn special because\nyou say 'God bless you'?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no, I don't think I'm special. My\nmother always said I'm not\n\nspecial.\n\nROBIN\nHe was only joking Michael! Sorry.\n\nMICHAEL\nAll right! Take his side!\n\nROBIN\nI am not taking his side.\n\nMICHAEL\nWell who's side are you taking?!\n\nROBIN\nWell I'm not taking your side!\n\n(Robin sneezes, George gestures to Michael that the floor is\nhis)\n\n(Scene moves back to Jerry's car, where Jerry and the hit-and-run\nwoman are\n\nnow kissing)\n\nJERRY\nKirk Douglas. Now there's another very\nbad driver. But he's such an\n\nunbelievable guy, that when he hits someone, he doesn't even\nleave a note.\n\nHe sits in his car and waits for the other person to show up\nso he can\n\nexchange license, registration, and apologize.\n\n(Woman pulls Jerry back in and starts kissing him again)\n\n(Scene moves back to Jerry apartment with George talking outside\nJerry room,\n\nwhere Jerry is)\n\nGEORGE\nI said 'God bless you'. Was that so\nwrong?\n\nJERRY\nThe question is, did you allow a space\nfor the husband to come in\n\nwith his 'God bless you'? Because as the husband, he has the\nright to first\n\nrefusal.\n\n(George makes a confused look. The intercom buzzes, Jerry walks\nover and\n\npresses the button)\n\nELAINE\nIt's me.\n\nJERRY\nCome on up.\n\n(Jerry unlocks door, conversation moves into kitchen)\n\nGEORGE\nYes, yes, I definitely waited. But let\nme say this: Once he passes\n\non that option, that 'God bless you' is up for grabs.\n\nJERRY\nNo argument. Unless, she's one of these\nmultiple sneezers, and he's\n\nholding his 'God bless you' in abeyance, until she completes\nthe series.\n\nGEORGE\nWell I don't think she is a multiple\nsneezer, because she sneezed\n\nagain later, and it was also a single.\n\nJERRY\nWhat if she's having an off night?\n\n(Elaine walks in, Jerry goes to sit down on sofa)\n\nELAINE\nHi!\n\nJerry. Hi.\n\n(Elaine takes her coat off and walks into kitchen)\n\nELAINE\nWell! If it isn't mister gesuntheit!\n\n(George walks out of kitchen)\n\nGEORGE\nOh ya, like there's something wrong\nwith saying 'God bless you'. I\n\nwas raised to say 'God bless you'.\n\n(Jerry sneezes)\n\nGEORGE\nAh, shut up.\n\nELAINE\nWhat does it mean anyway? 'God bless\nyou'. It's a stupid\n\n'stuperstition'.\n\n(Elaine sits on sofa, George sits on arm of sofa)\n\nJERRY\nA stupid what?\n\n(Elaine looks at Jerry)\n\nELAINE\nWhatever.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, if you want to make a person\nfeel better after they sneeze,\n\nyou shouldn't say 'God bless you', you should say, 'You're soo\ngood\n\nlookin\".\n\n(Elaine nods, George rolls his eyes)\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, that's better than 'God\nbless you'. Anyway, she left a\n\nmessage on my machine, she wants you to call her.\n\nGEORGE\nWho?\n\nELAINE\nRobin!\n\n(George looks quickly at Elaine)\n\nGEORGE\nWhy?!\n\nELAINE\nWell I assumed she called to apologize,\nthat's why she called me.\n\n(George stands up)\n\nJERRY\nEntertainment Tonight's on.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere's the remote phone?\n\nJERRY\nBedroom.\n\n(George walks toward Jerry's bedroom)\n\nELAINE\nHey, grab Jerry's sweater for me, would\nyou?\n\n(Theme music plays on TV, Kramer walks in, waves at Jerry and\nElaine, then\n\nwalks over to Jerry's bookshelf, dancing to the music.

What's going on?\n\n(Kramer is looking around like he's lost)\n\nKRAMER\nWhat happened?!\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nI think I hit my head again!\n\nJERRY\nWhat is wrong?!\n\n(Elaine is pointing at the TV)\n\nELAINE\nHey, hey, wait a minute! Let me ask\nyou something. Kramer, the last\n\ntime you hit your head, was Mary Hart on TV?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\n(Elaine claps her hands together then stands up)\n\nELAINE\nThat is it!\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\n(Elaine walks toward Kramer pointing her finger at him)\n\nELAINE\nThat is it! Mary Hart's voice, don't\nyou see? There's something\n\nabout Mary Hart's voice that's giving you seizures. Just like,\njust like,\n\njust like that woman in Albany!\n\n(George walks out of Jerry's bedroom toward kitchen, Kramer sits\ndown)\n\nKRAMER\nMary Hart!\n\nGEORGE\nGod.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nWell she apologized, and then she wanted\nto know if we could get\n\ntogether Wednesday afternoon.\n\nJERRY\nGet together?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe she just wants to talk to me?\n\nELAINE\nMarried women don't 'get together'.\nThey have affairs.\n\n(George walks to other side of sofa)\n\nGEORGE\nOh my God, an affair. That's so adult.\nIt's like with stockings and\n\nmartinis, and William Holden. On the other hand it probably wouldn't\ncost me\n\nany money.\n\n(George sits on chair)\n\nELAINE\nAre you actually considering this?\n\nGEORGE\nI can't have an affair with a married\nwoman, that's despicable!\n\nELAINE\nYeah, it's like hitting a car and driving\naway without leaving a\n\nnote.\n\n(Jerry moves around sofa as if uncomfortable)\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\n(Kramer walks out of washroom)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, you know who owns that car?\n\nJERRY\nWhat car?\n\nKRAMER\nThe one that was hit a couple of nights\nago.\n\nJERRY\nYeah who?\n\nKRAMER\nThat blond across the street.

I'm meeting\na guy with grey sweatpants.\n\n(Elaine walks out door, Kramer follows)\n\nKRAMER\nWait, wait, wait, how do you know it's\nnot John Tesh?\n\n(Jerry closes door behind them, then runs over to George very\nexcited)\n\nJERRY\nThe blond with the blue sweatpants!\n\nGEORGE\nWell, who is she?\n\nJERRY\nI've had a crush on this woman for year!\nI've always been afraid to\n\napproach her!

The blue sweatpants!\nGees, it's too bad you can't\n\nsay anything because of Angela.\n\n(Jerry sits down, disgruntled, flips aimlessly through a magazine)\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah. Too bad. Angela. Lousy thug.\nI mean what kind of sick person\n\ndoes something like that? That woman belongs in prison! I mean,\nI actually\n\nowe it to society to do something about this! I can't sit by\nand allow this\n\nto go on. It's a moral issue is what it is!\n\n(Jerry and George are both pointing their fingers at each other)\n\nGEORGE\nYou can't compromise your principles!\n\nJERRY\nHow am I going to live with myself?!\n\nGEORGE\nCan't live!\n\nJERRY\nI'm not religious, but I certainly know\nwhere to draw the line!\n\nGEORGE\nThis country needs more people like\nyou!\n\nJERRY\nDon't sell yourself short saying 'God\nbless you' to every Tom, Dick\n\nand Harry in great personal risk.\n\nGEORGE\nI believe strongly in that as you know.\n\nJERRY\nThere should be more people like us.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's why the world's in the shape\nit's in.\n\nJERRY\nYou're telling me.\n\n(Jerry and George both flip pages simultaneously and start reading\ntheir\n\nmagazines)\n\n(Scene moves to apartment across street, where Jerry is talking\nto the girl\n\nwith the blue sweatpants, Becky Gelke, outside her door)\n\nJERRY\nAnyway, I just wanted you to know, that\nI'm going to do everything I\n\ncan to make sure the party responsible is made to be responsible\nor\n\nsomething very close to that.\n\n(Becky touches Jerry's arm, smiling)\n\nBECKY\nWell God bless you.\n\n(Jerry pauses)\n\nJERRY\nThank you very much.\n\n(Scene moves to George's apartment, where George and Robin are\ntogether in\n\nbed)\n\nGEORGE\nOh my God.

I don't think so.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, please?\n\nJERRY\nNot today, pal.\n\nKRAMER\nOkay, I beg you.\n\nJERRY\nNow see? Just saying beg doesn't make\nit a real beg. You gotta put\n\nsome beg into it.\n\nKRAMER\nOkay, please! Please tell me!\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'll tell you, but your begging\nneeds a lot of work.\n\nKRAMER\nOkay, okay, what is it? Come on.\n\nJERRY\nI loaned the car to George.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, George, alright. Well, what for?\n\nJERRY\nGeorge and Elaine went to a flea market\nin Westchester, okay?!\n\nKRAMER\nAlright.\n\nJERRY\nHuh?\n\nKRAMER\nHuh.

Oh yeah.\n\nGeorge and Elaine are in Jerry's car. George is wearing a new\nhat.\n\nGEORGE\nI really think it looks good.\n\nELAINE\nTen bucks, how can you go wrong?\n\nGEORGE\nAll bald people look good in hats.\n\nELAINE\nYou should have lived in the twenties\nand thirties, you know men wore\n\nhats all the time then.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat a bald paradise that must have\nbeen. Nobody knew.\n\nELAINE\nWell, you can wear a hat all the time\nnow. Who's stopping you?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I can't. What if I meet a woman?\nI'd always be worried about that\n\nfirst moment where I'd take it off and see that look of disappointment\non her\n\nface.\n\nELAINE\nAre you sure you like these sunglasses?\n\nElaine moves the rear view mirror so she can check out her sunglasses\nand this\n\ncauses George to swerve and hit something.\n\nCut back to Kramer and Jerry at Jerry's apartment.\n\nKRAMER\nWell I'm very disappointed in George\nand Elaine. And you know I'm\n\nsomebody you don't want to have on your bad side.\n\nJERRY\nWhy not?\n\nKRAMER\nBecause I'm like ice, buddy. When I\ndon't like you, you've got\n\nproblems. (notices some snacks on the table) Oh, is this for\nthe fight?\n\nJERRY\nYep. (checks watch) Starts in thirty-five\nminutes.\n\nKramer and Jerry start 'sparring'.\n\nKRAMER\nOh hey, you know I invited Mike Moffit.\nYou don't mind, do you?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I like Mike.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I just got off the phone with\nhim, you know we had a great\n\nconversation.\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah? What did you talk about?\n\nKRAMER\nWell actually we talked about you. Yeah.\nHe had some pretty\n\ninteresting things to say.\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah? What did he say?\n\nKRAMER\nYou have to know everything, don't you?\n\nJERRY\nNo, come on, Kramer. What did he say?\n\nKRAMER\nWhy is that? Why do you have to know\neverything?\n\nJERRY\nKramer, just tell me what the guy said.\n\nKRAMER\nBeg me.\n\nJERRY\nPlease, don't make me beg.\n\nKRAMER\nNo no no, I want you to beg me. And\nI don't want you to say it, I just\n\nwant you to put some beg into it. Go on.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, please tell me what the guy\nsaid.\n\nKRAMER\nNo no no, that's no good. No, I really\ndon't think that's a beg. No,\n\nit's close, but uh...\n\nJERRY\nKramer!\n\nKRAMER\nLook, I can't say anything. You know,\nthe guy told me the stuff in\n\nconfidence, I'd be betraying a friend.\n\nJERRY\nWell you can't just mention it and then\nnot tell me.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright. I'll tell you but you can't\nsay anything to him.\n\nJERRY\nI'm not saying anything, I'm putting\nit in the vault, I'm locking the\n\nvault, it's a vault!\n\nKRAMER\nHe thinks you're a phony.\n\nJERRY\nHe what?\n\nKRAMER\nI told you, he thinks you're a phony.\n\nJERRY\nA phony? He called me a phony?\n\nKRAMER\nA big phone. A big one.\n\nJERRY\nWhy did you tell me that if I can't\nsay anything?!\n\nKRAMER\nYou begged me.\n\nCut back to Elaine and George in Jerry's car, the car is now\nmaking a clanking\n\nnoise.\n\nGEORGE\nDo you hear that?\n\nELAINE\nOf course I hear that.\n\nGEORGE\nYou had to move the mirror?\n\nELAINE\nI wanted to check out my sunglasses.\n\nGEORGE\nI went to look in the mirror, it wasn't\nthere. You threw off my\n\nequilibrium.\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah, blame it on me because you\ncan't drive, George.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't drive?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nNobody drives like me. Nobody. I'm doing\nthings in this car, you have\n\nno idea they're going on. Wanna see me make a right turn from\nthe left lane?\n\nWatch this.\n\nELAINE\nNo, I really don't.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd I can make a left turn from the\nright lane too.\n\nELAINE\nI'm sure you could.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are we gonna tell Jerry about the\ncar?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, start looking for spaces.\n\nELAINE\nOh, you're never gonna find a space\non Jerry's block, just put it in a\n\ngarage.\n\nGEORGE\nLook, I have my system. First I look\nfor the dream spot right in front\n\nof the door, then I slowly expand out in concentric circles.\n\nELAINE\nOh come on, George, please put it in\na garage. I don't want to spend\n\nan hour looking for a space.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't park in a garage.\n\nELAINE\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know, I just can't. Nobody in\nmy family can pay for parking,\n\nit's a sickness. My father never paid for parking; my mother,\nmy brother,\n\nnobody. We can't do it.\n\nELAINE\nI'll pay for it.\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't understand. A garage. I can't\neven pull in there. It's\n\nlike going to a prostitute. Why should I pay, when if I apply\nmyself, maybe I\n\ncould get it for free? (he hears a horn honking) What? What do\nyou want? Go\n\naround me, I'm looking for spaces.\n\nELAINE\nOh George, there's a space right there!\n\nGEORGE\nOh beautiful! Look at that, the dream\n\nspace right in front of Jerry's building. Huh? Dreams can come\ntrue, what did\n\nI tell you?\n\nELAINE\nYou didn't even have to take it out\nto dinner.\n\nThey share a laugh.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, now you're gonna see some parallel\nparking. (spitting into\n\nhis hands and rubbing them together) How I wish you could make\na living\n\nparallel parking. (turning around in his seat) It's all geometry,\nknowing all\n\nthe angles, when to make that first turn and then when to swing\nit back in,\n\nthat's the key.\n\nELAINE\nWill you just park it already?\n\nGEORGE\nThere's nothing I can even impart to\nyou, that's the sad thing. It's\n\nso inborn, I can't pass it on. (begins backing into the space)\nLook at this\n\nguy. Are you crazy, what are you doing?! Hey! Hey, you're stealing\nmy space!\n\nELAINE\nGeorge, wait, you don't know who this\nguy is, people kill for a parking\n\nspace in this city.\n\nGEORGE\nNo no no, he's not getting away with\nthis.\n\nELAINE\nGeorge?\n\nGeorge gets out of the car to confront the other driver.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, what are you doing?\n\nMIKE\nI think I'm parking my car.\n\nGEORGE\nYou can't do that, you can't just sneak\nin from the back like that.\n\nMIKE\nI'm not sneaking. I didn't even know\nyou were parking, you were just\n\nsitting there three spaces up.\n\nGEORGE\nWell if you didn't think I was parking,\nwhy did you put it in head\n\nfirst?\n\nMIKE\nWell that's the way I park. Anyway,\nyou didn't start backing in until I\n\npulled in.\n\nGEORGE\nI was in the middle of a conversation.\n\nMIKE\nHey, buddy, what can I tell you?\n\nGEORGE\nThe point is I was here first.\n\nMIKE\nI was closer to this space than you\nwere.\n\nGEORGE\nBut I'm backing in! You can't put it\nin head first!\n\nMIKE\nI can if I have room!\n\nGEORGE\nAre you gonna move the car?\n\nMIKE\nNo, I'm not gonna move the car.\n\nGEORGE\nJerk!\n\nMIKE\nOh, you're not?\n\nGEORGE\nDo you believe this guy?\n\nELAINE\nCome on, we'll put it in a garage.\n\nGEORGE\nI am not putting it in a garage, it's\nmy space.\n\nELAINE\nWhat are you gonna do, you just gonna\nleave it here like this? Uh.\n\nI'm going upstairs.\n\nGEORGE\nAre you coming back down?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I gotta tell Jerry we're here.\nI gotta go to the bathroom.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, just make sure he reserves\nthe good chair for me. Wait, what\n\nare you gonna tell him about the clanking noise in the car?\n\nELAINE\nMe? No no no, you. You're gonna tell\nhim. I'm not gonna tell- Noo.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, come on, you're good at this.\n\nELAINE\nWhat am I gonna say?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know, I don't know, you'll think\nof something.\n\nElaine heads upstairs. Mike honks his horn, George honks his\nin retaliation.\n\nCut to Jerry's apartment. Jerry is moving chairs, Elaine bursts\nin.\n\nELAINE\nOh god, I need a drink, do you got any\nHennigan's here?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, under the counter. What happened?\n\nELAINE\nOh god. Oh, Jerry it was so terrible\nwhat we just went through on the\n\nway home. (pouring a big shot of scotch) You wouldn't believe\nit. (pushing a\n\nbag of chips off the counter)\n\nJERRY\nTell me what happened.\n\nElaine (after pouring the shot in the sink while Jerry was distracted\nand\n\nthe Henry Hudson Parkway, okay?! And there were these, like,\nthis pack of\n\nextremely wild teenagers in a convertible behind us, okay?! And\nfor some\n\nreason, I don't know, they just started to taunt us! And so then\nwe payed the\n\ntoll, and then we went through, and then they started to follow\nus, alright?!\n\nSo George tries to lose them, and, and, but they were in this\nreally like a\n\nsouped up car, you know?! And so he turned off the road really\nsuddenly and the\n\ncar was on two wheels and I was just screaming! And then, George\nis such a\n\ngreat driver.\n\nJERRY\nHe is?\n\nELAINE\nOh, he is fantastic! And then they fired\na gun right up in the air.\n\nJERRY\nA gun?!\n\nELAINE\nI think it was a gun. And then they\nfollowed us all the way into the\n\ncity, and then they just stopped and they turned around and they\nwent home.\n\nJERRY\nMy god, are you okay?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, I'm alright. Oh, by the\nway, the car hit a pothole and now\n\nit's making a clanking noise.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I mean, as long as you're okay,\nthat, that's the important thing.\n\nELAINE\nExactly.\n\nJERRY\nWhere's George now?\n\nELAINE\nOh, he's out in front of the building.\nHe's arguing with some guy\n\nabout a parking space.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nELAINE\nLook out the window, you'll see.\n\nJERRY\nHey Georgie!\n\nGEORGE\nHey!\n\nJERRY\nAre you okay?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I'm fine.\n\nJERRY\nCrazy kids, huh?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nOw!! (Jerry looks over) It's my cuticle.\n\nMIKE\nIs that Jerry? Jerry?!\n\nJERRY\nOh, hey Mike.\n\nGeorge What, you know Jerry?\n\nMIKE\nYeah, I know Jerry.\n\nGEORGE\nHow do you know him?\n\nMIKE\nWhat's the difference?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause I know him too, and probably\na lot better than you.\n\nMIKE\nWell, bully for you. Hey, Jerry! You\nknow your friend here's a real\n\npiece of work!\n\nJERRY\nI'm coming down.\n\nMIKE\nHey, will you tell Kramer I'm outside?\n\nGeorge, What, you know Kramer?!\n\nKramer walks into Jerry's apartment.\n\nELAINE\nHi.\n\nKRAMER\nHello.\n\nJERRY\nHey, your friend Mike's outside, he\nwants to talk to you.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Mike! Come on up, the fight's almost\nstarting!\n\nGEORGE\nAnd you're watching the fight at Jerry's?\n\nMIKE\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nOh great.\n\nELAINE\nYou know that guy downstairs?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, he's a real phony.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat's going on?!\n\nMIKE\nHey, will you come on down?

Once he passed his\nfront bumper, it's no\n\nlonger his space.\n\nBYSTANDER #2\nNo, it doesn't matter. He was-\n\nMIKE\nHey! Jerry! Long time no see!\n\nJERRY\nHi Mike. (Noticing George's fedora)\nIndiana.\n\nMIKE\nHey Krame! You know this guy?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah, I know him.\n\nMIKE\nYou're looking tremendous. What are\nyou on some kind of\n\nregimen?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, twenty-five percent bran flakes.\nThe forty percent was too much\n\nso I found a store to mix it up special for me, they take it\ndown another\n\nfifteen percent.\n\nMIKE\nHa ha ha ha!!! That's killer! Killer!\n\nI love that! Ha ha ha!!! You gotta use that, that's a definite!!\nHa ha ha!!!\n\nGEORGE\nOh, come on.\n\nMIKE\nHey! Your friend here has some real\nproblems.\n\nGEORGE\nMe? You see what he did here, you see\nhow he tried to sneak into my\n\nspace?\n\nMIKE\nHey, just 'cause I went in front first\ndoesn't mean I'm sneaking in.\n\nGEORGE\nYou only went in front first 'cause\nyou saw me backing up and you\n\ndidn't have room to parallel park!\n\nMIKE\nI only went in front first 'cause I\ncould make it in front first and if\n\nyou pull out I'll show you!\n\nGEORGE\nYou've got a prayer.\n\nKRAMER\nI go in front first all the time.\n\nJERRY\nFront first, that's how you park when\nyou're pulling a bank job.\n\nElaine shows up and pulls George aside.\n\nGEORGE\nDid you talk to him?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, it's all taken care of.\n\nGEORGE\nYou told him? What did you tell him?\n\nELAINE\nI did a number on him, it was a thing\nof beauty, you really had to have\n\nbeen there to appreciate it.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't believe it, what did you say?\n\nELAINE\nI told him a pack of teenagers in a\nconvertible were terrorizing us and\n\nthey followed us into the city.\n\nGEORGE\nA pack of teenagers?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, by the time I got to the end of\nthe story, he was to relieved\n\nthat we were alive he couldn't care less about the car.\n\nGEORGE\nYou are a genius, it's as simple as\nthat.\n\nELAINE\nWhat can I say, you know? It's a gift.\nI only wish I could teach it\n\nbut, you know it's inborn.\n\nElaine and George rejoin the others.\n\nKRAMER\nBy the way, thanks a lot for inviting\nme to the flea market.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, Jerry, he told me all about it.\n\nGEORGE\nOh great.\n\nJERRY\nI didn't know.\n\nELAINE\nOh, so that's why you were acting so\nfunny.\n\nGEORGE\nWell I didn't know you wanted to go\nto the flea market.\n\nMIKE\nA flea market? You went to a flea market??\n\nGEORGE\nHey, who's talking to you?\n\nELAINE\nWe just didn't think of you.\n\nKRAMER\nYou said it, sister.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? Every time I leave my house now\nI have to call everybody I know\n\nand ask them if they want to do what I'm doing?\n\nPeople forget. Look at \"Home Alone\". They forgot.\n\nGEORGE\nGreat move, telling him, by the way,\nreal smart move.\n\nJERRY\nI didn't know I wasn't supposed to say\nanything!\n\nGEORGE\nJudgement, Jerry, judgement! You exercised\nno judgement.\n\nJERRY\nYou're right. My fault.\n\nELAINE\nKramer? I'm so sorry, really.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I'm sorry.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm sorry, I don't care for that sorry.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat was wrong with that sorry? It was\na good sorry. Jerry, was that\n\na good sorry?\n\nJERRY\nIt was a so-so sorry.\n\nA delivery truck pulls up and honks. The driver leans out of\nthe cab.\n\nTRUCK DRIVER\nHey!

I guess you gotta\nbe moving your car.\n\nMIKE\nAnd like you're not gonna just back\nit in if I do that?\n\nTRUCK DRIVER\nWell somebody better move something\nsoon! I got a truck full of\n\nice cream here!\n\nFade out/in.\n\nELAINE\nYou see, they had to move the cars so\nthe truck could get through,\n\nright? But these guys don't trust each other so they got these\ntwo nonpartisan\n\ndrivers to move them.\n\nJERRY\nWild pack of teenagers, huh?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nAmazing how they picked you, out of\neveryone, to terrorize.\n\nELAINE\nYeah. I know, I said to myself, 'Why\nus?' You remember?\n\nGEORGE\nUh huh.\n\nJERRY\nSounds like you did some pretty nifty\nmaneuvering,\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you know, It's interesting, you\nknow, under that pressure, what\n\nyou're capable of.\n\nELAINE\nRight.\n\nGEORGE\nI learned a lot about myself.\n\nJERRY\nWhat did you do to my car?!\n\nGEORGE\nI couldn't help it! Elaine moved the\nmirror, I got discombobulated.\n\nELAINE\nOh, like you've ever been bobulated.\n\nJERRY\nI thought you said you were a good driver!\n\nGEORGE\nNo no, I never said I was a good driver,\nI said I was a good parker.\n\nJERRY\nI think you said driver.\n\nGEORGE\nParker, I never said driver, I said\nparker, a great parker.\n\nMIKE\nWill you move it up a little bit?\n\nGEORGE\nNo no no, that's in the right position.\n\nMIKE\nNo no, I was further in.\n\nGEORGE\nNo you weren't.

I know who I am.\nDo you know who you are? (to\n\nGeorge) Why is it every time you park a car in this block, everything\ngets\n\ndisrupted and disjointed?\n\nGEORGE\nSid, it's completely his fault.\n\nMIKE\nOh, right.\n\nSID\nWhy don't you start taking the bus?\n\nJERRY\nOkay, George. Come on, let's go. I'm\nputting it in a garage. The\n\nfight's starting in two minutes.\n\nGEORGE\nDon't do it!\n\nJERRY\nWhat are we gonna do, stay out here\nall night?\n\nGEORGE\nYes! I'm not giving him the satisfaction,\nit's my space.\n\nELAINE\nWhy don't you just flip a coin already?\n\nGEORGE\nNo no, this is a matter of principle.\nThat would just be saying that\n\nanybody could just pull into any parking space any way they want.\nWell I'm\n\nmaking a stand here. I'm saying *no* to head first parking. I'm\nnot putting up\n\nwith that. We put up with too much crap in this city, we're not\nputting up with\n\nhead first parking.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, maybe if you hadn't been sitting\nthere pontificating about\n\nwhat a great parker you were, you might have got the space.\n\nGEORGE\nSo you're against me now?\n\nAn old man and Matthew, the boy who's father owns the 'fat free'\nfrozen yogurt\n\nstore, are discussing the incident.\n\nANGRY MAN\nHe could have pulled up to the car and\nbacked in, but he chose to go\n\nin head first.\n\nMATTHEW\nNo he couldn't, because the other car\nwas already backing in.\n\nANGRY MAN\nNo he wasn't.\n\nMATTHEW\nAll that matters is who was there first.\n\nANGRY MAN\nAhh, you're not even old enough to drive,\nyou little puke.\n\nMATTHEW\nYou just spit on me!\n\nANGRY MAN\nDon't you raise your voice to me!\n\nMATTHEW\nYou're not my father.\n\nJERRY\nHey Matthew.\n\nMATTHEW\nHi Jerry. This guy's really a jerk.\n\nJERRY\nHow ya doing?\n\nMATTHEW\nOkay.\n\nJERRY\nHey, how's your father? I hear he's\nclosing his store.\n\nMATTHEW\nWhat?!\n\nJERRY\nOh no, nothing.\n\nMATTHEW\nWhat's happened to daddy? He's going\nout of business?\n\nJERRY\nNo, no, no, no.\n\nMATTHEW\nWe're not going to have any money? We're\nout of money?\n\nJERRY\nNo, of course not, of course not!\n\nMATTHEW\nMommy!?

What's the matter with you?\n\nJERRY\nI didn't--\n\nMARYEDITH\nBoy, I don't know about your friend,\nJerry. He says\n\nsome pretty stupid things sometimes.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, congratulations.\n\nMARYEDITH\nWhat for?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you're pregnant.\n\nMARYEDITH\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYou're not pregnant?\n\nMARYEDITH\nNo, I'm not pregnant.\n\nKRAMER\nAre you sure you're not pregnant?\n\nMARYEDITH\nYes, I'm sure!\n\nKRAMER\nThat's weird.\n\nMARYEDITH\nCome on, Matthew.\n\nMATTHEW\nNo.\n\nMARYEDITH\nCome on, Matthew!\n\nKRAMER\nI thought she was pregnant.\n\nJERRY\nHey, do you think I'm phony?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nMike thinks I'm a phony.\n\nELAINE\nHe thinks you're a phony?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but I can't say anything because\nKramer wasn't supposed to tell\n\nme.\n\nELAINE\nOh, you have to say something.\n\nJERRY\nI can't, I told Kramer I was vaulting\nit.\n\nELAINE\nYou gotta open the vault.\n\nJERRY\nOpen my vault?\n\nELAINE\nOpen your vault.\n\nJERRY\nOnce I open the vault, it ceases to\nbe a vault.\n\nELAINE\nYou have no choice.\n\nJERRY\nOy ga-vault.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou wanna know why you can't go in front\nfirst? I'll tell\n\nyou why. because it signals a breakdown in the social order.\nChaos. It\n\nreduces us to jungle law.\n\nGeorge begins applauding.\n\nKRAMER\nWhen can you park head first?\n\nNEWMAN\nNever.\n\nMIKE\nWhat are you asking this guy for?\n\nNEWMAN\nWho's talking to you?\n\nGEORGE\nHe's right. never.\n\nMIKE\nOh yeah? What if you got ten car lengths?\nYou have to pull all the way\n\nup to the front car?\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, I suppose if you got ten car lengths.\n\nGEORGE\nWhen do you ever have ten car lengths?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat about Sundays and holidays?\n\nGEORGE\nOh please.\n\nA passerby (Sheila) stops and asks George,\n\nSHEILA\nWhat's going on here?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, this guy tried to sneak into my\nspace.\n\nSHEILA\nI really hate people who do that. I\nhope you don't let him get away\n\nwith it.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, thank you for your support.\n\nSHEILA\nHey, that's a great hat.\n\nGEORGE\nReally? You like it? I got it at a flea\nmarket today.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey George, nice hat.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, thanks.\n\nNEWMAN\nCan I try it on?\n\nGEORGE\nNo! It, uh, it wouldn't fit you.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell sure it would.\n\nGEORGE\nNo! Get out of here, Newman.\n\nNEWMAN\nCome on, let me try it on.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, Newman, stop it.\n\nSHEILA\nLet him try it on.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't want him to!\n\nSHEILA\nWhat is wrong with you?\n\nGEORGE\nYou wanna see?! (pulling off the hat\nto reveal the bald pate) There!\n\nThere it is! (turning to Newman) Alright, here! You wanna try\non the hat?!\n\nHere! Try on the hat!\n\nNEWMAN\nStop it, George, stop it. I was defending\nyour parking.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, just keep the hat!\n\nJERRY\nAlright, that's it. The fight's already\nstarted. I'm going upstairs,\n\nwho's coming? Elaine?\n\nELAINE\nIt depends on who's going. (to George)\nAre you going?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm not going if he's going.\n\nNEWMAN\nMe either.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not going if he's going.\n\nMIKE\nWell I'm going.\n\nJERRY\nWell if he's going then I'm not going.\n\nNEWMAN\nBut it's your house.\n\nJERRY\nI still don't have to go.\n\nELAINE\nWell I don't want to go if Jerry's not\ngoing.\n\nMIKE\nWhy won't you go if I go?\n\nJERRY\nWhy? I'll tell you why.\n\nKRAMER\nNo. Don't, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nLike you didn't call me a phony?\n\nMIKE\nWhat? (to Kramer) Thanks! Real good!\nJerry! First of all, I think\n\nyou completely misunderstood what I said. I meant it in a complementary\nway. I\n\nmean, you know when people say, 'He's bad', it really means he's\ngood, sort of\n\nthing? You know, slang.\n\nJERRY\nUse it in a sentence.\n\nMIKE\nMan, that Michael Jordan is so phony.\n(to Kramer) Why'd you tell him?!?\n\nKRAMER\nHe begged me.\n\nMIKE\nHe begged you?!\n\nJERRY\nAlright, come on. Who wants to watch\nthe fight?\n\nTwo police officers walk up.\n\nCOP #1\nOkay, who's cars are these? Let's move\n'em. Let's go.\n\nGEORGE\nOfficer, could I just explain something\nto you?\n\nCOP #1\nHey. Let's go or I'm gonna write both\nof you a ticket in about two\n\nminutes.\n\nGEORGE\nOfficer, he can't pull in head first.\n\nMIKE\nOfficer, he backed up from down the\nstreet. He was double-parked, he was\n\nsitting there.\n\nCOP #1\nAlright, you move your car. It's his\nspace, you can't go in head\n\nfirst.\n\nCOP #2\nWait a second. Why can't he go in head\nfirst? He said the guy was\n\njust sitting over there.\n\nCOP #1\nWhat are you talking about? This guy\nwas here first.\n\nCOP #2\nBut he didn't take it.\n\nCOP #1\nHey, it's his space.\n\nCOP #2\nNo, it's his space.\n\nCut to Jerry entering his apartment, George and Mike can be heard\narguing\n\nthrough the window.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you're gonna have to go to the\nbathroom!\n\nMIKE\nWell, you're gonna have to go to work!\n\nGEORGE\nI don't have a job!\n\nMIKE\nNeither do I!\n\nJerry closes the window, sits down on the couch, picks up the\nremote and turns\n\non the TV.\n\nREFEREE\nSeven... Eight... Nine... Ten. *ding*\n\nJerry falls over and hides his face in the couch cushion.\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nPeople will kill each other for a parking space in New York because\nthey think,\n\n'If I don't get this one, I may never get a space.' You know?\n'I'll be\n\ncircling for months until somebody goes out to the Hamptons.'\nI think because\n\neveryone in New York City knows there's gotta be way more cars\nthan parking\n\nspaces. You see cars driving in New York all hours of the night.\nIt's like\n\nMusical Chairs except everybody sat down around 1964. The problem\nis car\n\nmanufacturers are building hundreds of thousands of new cars\nevery year, they're\n\nnot making any new spaces. That's what they should be working\non. Wouldn't\n\nthat be great? You go to the Auto Show, they got that big revolving\nturntable,\n\nand there's nothing on it.

I like planes. I was on a plane the other day\nand I was wondering - are there keys to the plane? Do they need\nkeys to start the plane? Maybe that's what those delays on the\nground are sometimes. When you're just sitting there at the gate,\nmaybe the pilot's just up there in the cockpit going (mimics\nlooking for keys) \"Oh, I don't believe this. Oh my god...I did\nit again.\" They tell you it's something mechanical, because they\ndon't want to come on the PA system...\"Ladies and gentlemen,\nwe're going to be delayed here on the ground for a little while,\nI uh...Oh God, this is so embarrassing...I - I left the keys\nto the plane in my apartment.\" You see the technicians all running\nunderneath the plane; you think they're servicing it, but they're\nactually looking for the magnet \"hide-a-key\" under the wing...\"maybe\nhe left it up there somewhere...\"\n\nOPENING SCENE\nJerry's apartment in the middle of the\nnight. Jerry comes out of his room.\nWe hear his thoughts.\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nWhat is it about sleep that makes you\nso thirsty? Do dreams require liquid?\nIt's not like I'm running a marathon,\nI'm just lying there.\n\n(Jerry notices his door is open.)\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nWhat the hell...? Why is the door open?\n\n(Jerry looks out into the hallway, turns back into his apartment,\nand runs into Kramer in the dark. They both scream. Kramer turns\non the light.)\n\nJERRY\nKramer, what are you doing here!?\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, now calm down, it's okay. I'm\nsorry. I didn't want to wake you up!\nY'know, I was watching \"Thirty Seconds\nOver Tokyo,\" and I - y'know, I wanted\nto get some popcorn, and I, uh...I used\nthe spare keys that you gave me to come\ninto your apartment to get your popper.\n\nJERRY\nYou scared me!\n\nKRAMER\nIt's just me.\n\nJERRY\nThat's enough!\n\nKRAMER\nForgot the popper... (goes to the kitchen,\ngrabs the popper, drops the lid, juggles\nit around, then exits.)\n\nNew scene. Jerry's apartment, daytime. We hear Jerry hurriedly\ntrying to get in the door.\n\nJERRY\nC'mon...c'mon...\n\n(Jerry enters, sheds his jacket, drops his luggage and heads\nfor the bathroom. He opens the door to find Kramer taking a bubble\nbath in his tub.)\n\nJERRY\nKramer! What are you doing?!\n\nKRAMER\nWhat does it look like I'm doing? What?\n\nJERRY\nGet out! Get out of the bathroom, I\ngotta go!\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, alright...\n\nJERRY\nC'mon!\n\nKRAMER\nSorry.\n\nJERRY\nMove it! Move it! Get going!\n\nKRAMER\nMy drain's all clogged up!

Jerry's hallway at night. Jerry approaches his door\nwith a girlfriend.\n\nGIRLFRIEND\nI'm really happy the movie was sold\nout.\n\nJERRY\nHey, did you ever pretend there's like,\nmurderers chasing you, and you try and\nsee how fast you can get your keys out\nand get into your apartment?\n\nGIRLFRIEND\nI'm from Witchita, so...\n\nJERRY\nOh. I see. There he is! (Pretends the\nmurderers are coming.)\n\nGIRLFRIEND\nHurry, Jerry! He's coming! Hurry!\n\nJERRY\nThe murderers! (Jerry unlocks his door\nand they both run inside.)\n\nGIRLFRIEND\nThat was close!\n\nJERRY\nDid you see the look on that guy's face?\n\nGIRLFRIEND\nYou were so fast with those keys. (They\nprepare to kiss, but are interrupted\nby Kramer and his girlfriend coming\nout of Jerry's bedroom, laughing and\nhorsing around.)\n\nJERRY\nKramer! What the hell are you doing\nhere?!\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Jerry! How are ya? I thought you\nwere going to the movies.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, that's it. Hand 'em over.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nWhat, you know what, the keys. I want\nthe keys. You've lost your key privileges.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, come on!\n\nJERRY\nNo, come on!\n\nKRAMER\nWhat, what, I thought you went to the\nmovies!\n\nJERRY\nIt was sold out!\n\nKRAMER\nNow how was I supposed to know it was\ngoing to be sold out?\n\nJERRY\nThat's the point.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat point?\n\nJERRY\nJust, look, just give the keys.\n\nKRAMER\nJust give me another chance!\n\nJERRY\nDon't ask me!\n\nKRAMER\nI'm asking you!\n\nJERRY\nI'm telling you.\n\nKRAMER\nYou're joking.\n\nJERRY\nI'm serious!\n\nKRAMER\nIt's not going to happen again!\n\nJERRY\nYes it will, now give me those keys!\n\n(Jerry and Kramer begin struggling over the keys. Kramer loses\nhis footing and falls on the floor, taking his girlfriend down\nwith him.)\n\nKRAMER\nO.K., fine, go ahead, you take the keys!\nBut you're going to regret this. (He\nangrily storms out.

Jerry is now giving\nhis spare keys to Elaine.\n\nJERRY\nSo put 'em in a safe place.\n\nELAINE\nI will.\n\nJERRY\nWhere?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know. I'll hide 'em. So, is\nKramer upset?\n\nJERRY\nI think so. I mean, he's acting really\nweird lately...he's different.\n\nELAINE\nWell, maybe you should just give him\nthe keys back.\n\nJERRY\nI can't.\n\n(There's a gentle knock at the door.)\n\nELAINE\nIs that Kramer? (Jerry nods.)\n\nJERRY\nWho's there?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, Kramer. (Jerry opens the door, Kramer\nenters. Elaine waves at Kramer with\nthe keys in her hand.) Oh, hi...uh...you\ngot the...\n\nELAINE\nOh, I'm not, uh...\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no, it's o.k. I don't care about\nthe keys. It's my fault. I gave the\nkeys away with my stupidity. I broke\n\"the covenant of the keys.\"\n\nELAINE\nJerry, give him the keys back.\n\nJERRY\nElaine...\n\n(Elaine tries to give the keys to Kramer, but Jerry won't let\nher. Jerry and Elaine begin struggling over the keys. Kramer\nbreaks it up.)\n\nKRAMER\nI don't want the keys back! No, I'm\nglad the way things turned out. I was\nclingin' to those keys, man! Like a\nbranch on the banks of a raging river.\nAnd now I have let go. And I'm free...to\ngo with the current. To float. (To Jerry)\nAnd I thank you.\n\nJERRY\nTake the keys.\n\nKRAMER\nI don't want the keys! (Jerry tries\nto force the keys on Kramer, but Kramer\nrefuses.)\n\nJERRY\nO.K.!\n\nKRAMER\nNow, one more thing - I would like my\nkeys back.\n\nJERRY\nYour spare set?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's right.\n\nJERRY\nYou want 'em back?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Yeah, I think it would be for\nthe best.\n\n(Jerry takes a huge ring with hundreds of keys on it out of his\ndrawer, and hands it to Kramer. Kramer begins going through them.)\n\nNew scene at the coffee shop. Kramer is now giving the huge keyring\nto George.\n\nGEORGE\nGee, Kramer, I uh...I don't know what\nto say.\n\nKRAMER\nSay yes! Yes, George. Yes!\n\nGEORGE\nShould I give you my keys, is that the\ntransaction, trading keys...? Because\nElaine has my keys.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you can get 'em back.\n\nGEORGE\nI suppose I could.\n\nKRAMER\nBecause you see, George, having the\nkeys to Jerry's apartment? That kept\nme in a fantasy world. Every time I\nwent over to his house, it was like\nI was on vacation. Better food, better\nview, better TV. And cleaner? Oh - much\ncleaner. That became my reality. I ignored\nthe squalor in my own life because I'm\nlooking at life, you see, through Jerry's\neyes. I was living in twilight, George.\nLiving in the shadows. Living in the\ndarkness...like you.\n\nGEORGE\nMe?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yeah. I can barely see you, George.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, stop it Kramer, you're freakin'\nme out. (The waitress comes over.)\n\nWAITRESS\nHi, are you ready to order? (George\ntries to order, but Kramer interrupts.)\n\nKRAMER\nDo you ever yearn?\n\nGEORGE\nYearn? Do I yearn?\n\nKRAMER\nI yearn.\n\nGEORGE\nYou yearn.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yes. Yes, I yearn. Often, I...I\nsit...and yearn. Have you yearned?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, not recently. I craved. I crave\nall the time, constant craving...but\nI haven't yearned.\n\nKRAMER\nLook at you.\n\nGEORGE\nAw, Kramer, don't start...\n\nKRAMER\nYou're wasting your life.\n\nGEORGE\nI am not! What you call wasting, I call\nliving! I'm living my life!\n\nKRAMER\nO.K., like what? No, tell me! Do you\nhave a job?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got money?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nDo you have a woman?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nDo you have any prospects?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got anything on the horizon?\n\nGEORGE\nUh...no.\n\nKRAMER\nDo you have any action at all?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nDo you have any conceivable reason for\neven getting up in the morning?\n\nGEORGE\nI like to get the Daily News!\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge, it's time for us to grow up\n- and be men. Not little boys.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm goin' to California. You know, I\ngot the bug.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I think I got a touch of something,\ntoo.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, the acting bug. Ever since I was\nin that Woody Allen movie.\n\nGEORGE\n\"These pretzels are making me thirsty\"?\nThat was one line! You got fired!\n\nKRAMER\nI know, I know, but man! I never felt\nso alive! Now, are you coming with me?\n\nGEORGE\nUh, no, I'm not.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, suit yourself. But let's keep\nthis between us - we're key brothers\nnow. (Gets up to leave.)\n\nGEORGE\nYou're not really gonna go to California,\nare you?\n\nKRAMER\nUp here, I'm already gone. (Kramer exits.)\n\nNew scene, Elaine's apartment at night. George is picking up\nhis spare keys from Elaine.\n\nGEORGE\nAnyway, so he gave me his spare keys,\nnow he wants to have my keys, so I need\nmine back from you.\n\nELAINE\nJust 'cause you have his keys? Why does\nhe need yours?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. He said he wants to be\nmy \"key brother.\"\n\nELAINE\nThat's ridiculous.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's Kramer.\n\nELAINE\nI'll give you back your spare keys -\nbut now I want mine back.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat for?\n\nELAINE\n'Cause. I'll give 'em to Jerry.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry? Why?\n\nELAINE\n'Cause he gave me his.\n\nGEORGE\nSo what?\n\nELAINE\nSo, if he has my keys, I should have\nhis.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I don't see why if you have his,\nhe should have yours.\n\nELAINE\nI just said the same thing to you.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, listen, I'll give you your\nspare keys, but I don't have them with\nme. Can I please have mine to give to\nback to Kramer?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, O.K. I'll go get 'em. (George\nbegins to leaf through papers on Elaine's\ncounter.) What are you doing? Would\nyou just put that down? (Takes the papers\naway from George.) I gotta get some\nnew friends.\n\nNew scene, Jerry's apartment the next day.\n\nJERRY\nDid you bring the keys?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, but I still don't feel right about\nletting you into Kramer's apartment\nwithout his permission.\n\nJERRY\nThis could be an emergency!\n\nGEORGE\nYou never should have taken away his\nkeys!\n\nJERRY\nI tried to give 'em back, he wouldn't\ntake 'em. (Jerry and George go out into\nthe hallway to Kramer's apartment.)\n\nGEORGE\nHow'd the Mets do?\n\nJERRY\nThey lost.\n\n(Jerry and George open Kramer's door and poke their heads in.)\n\nJERRY\nKramer?\n\n(Newman walks up behind them.)\n\nNEWMAN\nHello, boys.\n\nJERRY\nHello, Newman.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou lookin' for someone?\n\nJERRY\nDon't play coy with me, Newman, I'm\nnot in the mood!\n\nNEWMAN\nCoy? I'm not being coy.\n\nJERRY\nIs he being coy?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, coy.\n\nJERRY\nYou're being coy. Now where's Kramer,\nNewman?\n\nNEWMAN\nWho?\n\nJERRY\nListen, Tiny. I wanna know where Kramer\nis and wanna know now!\n\nNEWMAN\nAlright, go ahead and hit me, Seinfeld.\nI got witnesses.\n\nJERRY\nTurn around, George.\n\nGEORGE\nSure. (Turns around.)\n\nNEWMAN\nGeorge?\n\nJERRY\nNow, you better tell me where Kramer\nis, or are we gonna have to do this\nthe hard way? (Hits wall with his fist.)\n\nNEWMAN\nHelp! Help!\n\nJERRY\nWhere's Kramer?\n\nNEWMAN\nHELP! (Elaine enters.)\n\nELAINE\nWhat's going on?\n\n(Newman grabs Elaine and hides behind her.)\n\nNEWMAN\nThey're gonna beat me up!\n\nGEORGE\nNo we're not.\n\nJERRY\nWe're trying to find out what happened\nto Kramer.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou wanna know what happened to Kramer?\nI'll tell you what happened to Kramer.\nHe was ticked off. About the keys. Yeah,\nthat's right - about the keys. Thought\nhe got a bad rap.\n\nJERRY\nBad rap?\n\nNEWMAN\nYeah. From you.\n\nJERRY\nMe?\n\nNEWMAN\nYou heard me. So he packed it up and\nsplit for the coast. La-La Land. L.A.\n\nJERRY\nL.A.?\n\n(Cut to Kramer in his car on the highway, listening to rock music.\nThe car's engine starts to fail, then stalls. Kramer can't believe\nit.)\n\nCommercial break.\n\nNew scene, Jerry's apartment at night (Jerry's at the window,\nGeorge and Elaine are on the couch).\n\nJERRY\nI never should have taken his keys away.\nBut he drove me to it! I had no choice!\nHe wouldn't take 'em back. Elaine, you\nsaw it, remember? I said, 'Take the\nkeys back.' He wouldn't do anything.\nYou saw it, didn't you see it?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, I saw it. (mutters under\nher breath) I mean, it's complete bullsh*t.\n\nJERRY\nHuh?\n\nELAINE\nWhat...?\n\nJERRY\nNo, what'd you say?\n\nELAINE\nNothing. I didn't say anything.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you didn't see it.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I saw it. I saw it! I did, I saw\nit. Yep.\n\nJERRY\nI heard you say something, there.\n\nELAINE\nI didn't say anything.\n\nJERRY\nI'm calling Kramer's mother. (Picks\nup the phone, dials.) (To Elaine) I\ndon't know what you said. But it was\nsomething. I heard something. Hello?\nHello, Mrs. Kramer? Mrs. Kramer? Could\nyou turn the music down? Could you turn\nthe music down!\n\nGEORGE\nAsk her about Kramer.\n\nJERRY\nShe's drunk out of her mind.\n\n(Cut back to Kramer with his car broken down on the side of the\nhighway. He tries to thumb a ride.)\n\nNew scene, Jerry approaching his apartment door. He tries to\nunlock it, but realizes Elaine has his keys. Jerry goes to the\ncoffee shop to call Elaine.\n\nJERRY\nElaine? Are you there? It's me, I'm\nlocked out of my apartment, I need my\nspare keys. Where are you? I'm at the\ncoffee shop.\n\nNew scene. Kramer's managed to hitch a ride on the back of a\nmotorcycle.\n\nKRAMER\nHey! You ever been in an accident?\n\nBIKER\nAbout five years ago. I was going down\nthis very road. Same time of day, going\nabout the same speed I'm going now...there\nwas a rock in the road. Couldn't have\nbeen more than a pebble. Never really\nsaw it! Lost control of the bike, went\nflyin' about a hundred feet - came down\nright on my head. Cracked it wide open!\nBlood and stuff was just splattered\nall over the road, there...I broke every\nbone in my face. Hey, you know, when\nthey found me, my eyes were hanging\nout of their sockets? Yeah, they pronounced\nme dead at the scene. I was in a coma\nfor...well, they told me about a year...said\nI'd be a vegetable for life. Yeah, but\nI showed 'em. Ever since then I always\nwear a helmet! (The biker goes into\na turn.) Lean! (Kramer yells.)\n\nNew scene. Jerry in a booth at the coffee shop waiting for George.\nGeorge enters, spare keys in hand.\n\nJERRY\nGeorgie Boy! Way to come through with\nthe keys! Sit down, I'm buying you dinner.\n\nGEORGE\nLook, I gotta tell ya...I been thinkin'\nabout it, I just don't feel right about\nletting you into Elaine's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nDon't feel right? What are you talking\nabout?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you know, I shouldn't have let\nyou into Kramer's, now you want to go\ninto Elaine's...she entrusted me with\nher spare keys, how can I just let you\nin?\n\nJERRY\nWhat is the big deal?\n\nGEORGE\nJust because you have someone's spare\nkeys, it doesn't entitle you to break\ninto their apartment. That's the reason\nyou took away Kramer's keys.\n\nJERRY\nFirst of all, you're not even supposed\nto have Elaine's keys. You're supposed\nto give 'em back to her, so she can\ngive 'em back to me, because she has\nmine. So technically, those are my keys.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, well, if you had never taken your\nkeys back from Kramer, he never would\nhave taken his back from you and given\n'em to me, in which case I wouldn't\nhave had to take mine back from her.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I want those keys. (Tries to grab\nthe keys from George.)\n\nGEORGE\nNope, no can do.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, give them to me, I want these\nkeys. (They struggle over the keys.)\nI don't want to get physical!\n\nGEORGE\nDo you wanna fight?\n\nJERRY\nDo you wanna fight?\n\nGEORGE\nI'll fight ya! Not the face! Not the\nface! (The struggle continues.)\n\nNew scene. Kramer's managed to hitch another ride, this time\nwith a van full of drugged-out hippies. Kramer is telling them\na story as they go down the road...\n\nKRAMER\nAnd then, the evil ogre took back the\nmagical keys from the handsome young\nprince.\n\nHIPPIE #1\nOh no. He didn't take back the keys,\nno way.\n\nKRAMER\nYes! And then the handsome young prince\nwas cast out into the cruel, cruel world.\n\nHIPPIE #1\nOh man, what a bummer. That ogre dude's\npretty cold, huh?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, he's cold.\n\nHIPPIE #1\nLemme tell you something, Kramer. If\nthat ogre dude pulled that crap on me\n(pulls out a knife) - I'D STAB HIM!\nI'D CUT HIM IN HALF! I'D GUT HIM LIKE\nA FISH, MAN! That's what I'd do!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah...that'd be funny. (To driver)\nHey, you can drop me here!\n\nHIPPIE #1\nHey, what's the rush, man?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you know, I gotta be goin' now.\n\nHIPPIE #1\nHey, Kramer - have you ever killed a\nman?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat do you think, junior? You think\nthese hands have been soakin' in Ivory\nliquid? (mimics choking somebody)\n\nHIPPIE #2\nDon't leave, Kramer, stay with us. You\nknow so much about the world, we need\nyou, please Kramer! (they all start\nchanting) Please, Kramer! Please, Kramer!\n(Scene ends with Kramer trying to escape\ntheir clutches.)\n\nNew scene, Elaine's building at night. Jerry and George approach\nElaine's door, still arguing about the keys.\n\nJERRY\nDon't you see? You're just avoiding\nthe middle man. You were gonna give\nher her spare keys, so she was gonna\ngive 'em to me. So, all that's happening\nis that instead of giving them to her,\nyou're giving them to me. It's just\nunfortunate that when she gave you yours,\nyou didn't give her hers. 'Cause then\nshe would have given 'em to me, because\nshe has mine. So then I would have never\nhad to ask you for hers, so that I could\nget mine.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're right, how did I miss that? (Begins\nunlocking the door, mutters under his\nbreath) Maybe because it's a crock of\nsh*t.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's that?\n\nGEORGE\nNothing.\n\nJERRY\nI heard something.\n\nGEORGE\nDidn't say anything. (They go into Elaine's\napartment.)\n\nNew scene. Kramer's managed to hitch yet another ride, this time\nwith a woman driving an eighteen-wheeler.\n\nKRAMER\nSo, how long you been drivin' this thing?\n\nWOMAN\nGoin' on four years.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, nothin's sexier than a woman behind\nthe wheel of a semi.\n\nWOMAN\nNothin'? (They exchange a glance, then\nlaugh.) Listen to you, you're quite\nthe sweet-talker.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, I always wanted to drive the\nbig rigs.

We know nothing\nabout Eva Braun,\n\nonly that she was Hitler's girlfriend.\n\nKRAMER\nUm-hm.\n\nCHELSEA\nWhat was it like having sex with Adolf\nHitler? What do you wear in a\n\nbunker?

A police office\nnotices this\n\nand picks up one of the photos.\n\nAnother murder scene. A police officer pulls a blanket over the\nbody's head,\n\nbut we catch a glimpse of the dead girl; it's Chelsea, Kramer's\nfriend from the\n\nauditions. The same two Lieutenants as before are just arriving.\n\nOFFICER\nHey, Lieutenant.\n\nLT. MARTEL\nYeah.\n\nOFFICER\nThis was found on her person.\n\nLT. MARTEL\nOn her person?

Now get out of here before you\nfind yourself on transit\n\npatrol writing tickets to senior citizens with fake bus passes.\n\nOFFICER\nYes sir.\n\nThe Lt. examines the evidence. It's a title page that says \"The\nKeys\" A movie\n\ntreatment by Kramer. The paper is torn so that the space where\nKramer's first\n\nname was is missing.\n\nLT. MARTEL\nI think we just caught a break.\n\nJerry and George are at the NBC studio.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is very exciting! You're on the\nTonight Show, NBC, who else is on\n\nthe show?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know.\n\nGEORGE\nMight meet a celebrity.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe she threw out my napkin.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you worried about, you know\nit.\n\nJERRY\nYou gonna be alright here?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah yeah yeah yeah, go.

Law.\n\nCORBIN BERNSEN\nReally.\n\nFlash forward to the middle of George's 'pitch'.\n\nGEORGE\n...so mind you, at this point I'm only\ngoing out with her two or three\n\nweeks. So she goes out of town and she asks me to feed her cat.\nSo at this\n\ntime, there's a lot of stuff going on in my life and, uh, it\nslips my mind for a\n\nfew days. Maybe a week. Not a week, five, six days.\n\nCORBIN BERNSEN\nYeah yeah yeah. So what happened?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's the damnedest thing. The\ncat dies. So she comes back into\n\ntown, she finds the cat lying on the carpet stiff as a board.\n\nCORBIN BERNSEN\nSo you killed the cat.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's what she says. I say, listen.\nIt was an old cat. It died of\n\nnatural causes. So get this, now she tells me that I gotta buy\nher a brand new\n\ncat. I say listen, honey. First of all, it was a pretty old cat.\nI'm not\n\ngonna buy you a brand new cat to replace an old dying cat. And\nsecond of all, I\n\ngo out to the garbage, I find you a new cat in fifteen seconds.\nI say, you show\n\nme an autopsy report that says this cat died of starvation, I\nspring for a new\n\ncat. So she says something to me, like, uh, I dunno, get the\nhell out of here,\n\nand she breaks up with me. Now don't you think that would be\na great case on\n\nL.A. Law?\n\nCorbin Bernsen just stares at George.\n\nFlash forward, George is now talking with George Wendt in the\nsame hallway.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't wanna tell you how to run your\nshow.\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nOh, of course not.\n\nGEORGE\nBut really, it's enough with the bar\nalready.\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nYeah, well.\n\nGEORGE\nSeriously, have they though about changing\nthe setting?\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nDoubt it, I doubt it. Yeah.\n\nGEORGE\nReally? Because people do meet in places\nbesides a bar, huh?\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nWell yeah, they do, heh heh.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about a rec room? Huh? Or a community\ncenter.\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nYeah, you oughta\n\nwrite one of those.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah?\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nYeah, I'll bring it up with the producers,\nI gotta... uh...\n\nGEORGE\nFabulous, I'll think about that George,\nthank you!\n\nJerry walks up as George Wendt leaves hastily.\n\nJERRY\nHow's it going?\n\nGEORGE\nGreat! Great! I actually just had two\nmeaningful intelligent\n\nconversations with Corbin Bernsen and George Wendt.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, not fan talk, not gushing, you\nknow? Actual conversation, I was\n\nincredibly articulate!\n\nJERRY\nYou got toilet paper on your heel there.\n\nGeorge looks down, Jerry walks away.\n\nThe Tonight Show, George is in the audience applauding.\n\nANNOUNCER\nIt's the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.\nTonight Jay welcomes Corbin\n\nBernsen, George Wendt and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.\n\nQuick cut to Corbin Bernsen, mid-interview.\n\nCORBIN BERNSEN\nOh yeah, yeah, people are always coming\nup to me trying to give\n\nme a great case for L.A. Law, just a few seconds ago, right here,\nright outside\n\nin the hallway this nut, some sick nut comes up to me and says\nhe's supposed to\n\nwatch this girl's cat while she's away out of town. Anyway he\nforgets to feed\n\nthe cat, the cat dies, starves to death, he kills the cat, refuses\nto get her a\n\nnew one, won't give her any money, won't pay her, and he wants\nArnie Becker to\n\nrepresent him. Nice guy. Yeah, that'd make a *great* case for\nL.A. Law.\n\nThanks a lot.\n\nQuick shot of the audience, everyone is laughing besides George.\n\nCut to a police station. Helena is being questioned by Lt. Martel.\n\nHELENA\nHe's a very handsome man. Passionate,\nintense, but troubled, strange.\n\nI think he may be in love with me. Of course there's nothing\nabnormal about\n\nthat, I have many suitors.\n\nCut back to the Tonight Show, George Wendt, mid-interview.\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nIt's funny, 'cause even after all these\nyears, we still get\n\npeople giving us advice, how to improve the show. Actually, a\nfew moments ago I\n\nran into a nut back there, he said, you know, that maybe we should\nthink about,\n\nyou know, not doing the show in a bar.\n\nAnother quick shot of the audience, again everyone is laughing\nbesides George.\n\nCut back to the police station. One of the kids from the van\nKramer hitched a\n\nride to LA in (see \"The Keys\") known only as 'The Freak' is being\nquestioned by\n\nthe Lt.\n\nTHE FREAK\nSo that's when I said, \"Hey, Kramer,\ndude. You ever killed a man\n\nbefore?\" And he said, \"What do you think, Junior? These hands\nhave been\n\nsoaking in Ivory liquid?\n\nCut back to the Tonight Show, Corbin Bernsen and George Wendt\nare talking\n\nbetween takes.\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nThe guy you talked to, what did he look\nlike?\n\nCORBIN BERNSEN\nShort little bald guy with glasses.\n\nGEORGE WENDT\nYeah, yeah, that's the same guy I talked\nto.\n\nCORBIN BERNSEN\nIt never ends, does it?\n\nCut to Jerry, on stage, doing his routine.\n\nJERRY\nSo I'm going through the airport and\nI have to put my bag on that little\n\nuh, uh, the uh, that uh, the conveyor belt.\n\nQuick shot of the audience, nobody is laughing.\n\nQuick shot of an extremely uncomfortable Jerry.\n\nCut back to the police station. The Lt. is on the phone.\n\nLT. MARTEL\nIssue an arrest warrant, put out an\nAPB. Let's pick up this, uh,\n\nKramer.\n\nGeorge and Jerry are leaving the Tonight Show set,\n\nJERRY\nI was terrible.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you, crazy? You were fine.\n\nJERRY\nNah, did you hear the end? I couldn't\nremember what I was trying to\n\nsay, that whole thing about the, uh...\n\nGEORGE\nConveyor belt.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Because she threw out my napkin.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe, you're blaming Lupe?\n\nJERRY\nYes, Lupe.

Police have just released a photo of the\nsuspect being\n\nsought in connection with the slayings. He is known only as \"Kramer\".\n\nGeorge and Jerry stare at each other in disbelief.\n\nTO BE CONTINUED.\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nTalk show hosts never seem to have any idea how much time is\nleft in the show.\n\nYou know, they're always looking off camera, \"Do we have time?\nAre we out of\n\ntime? How we doin' on time? Anybody know what the time is? What's\nthe time?\n\nCheck the time?\" You never see Magnum P.I. go, \"Should I strangle\nthis guy or\n\nare we gonna take a break here? Can you stay for another beating?\nI'll tell\n\nyou what, I'll bop him in the head, we'll do a commercial, we'll\ncome back, I'll drive in the car real fast, stay with us.\"\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Trip-Part-2.html", "text": "THE TRIP PART 2\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry Charles\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nThere are many different job in the police.

Is that what\nyou want me to say?\n\nGEORGE\nI'd like to hear that.\n\nJERRY\nYeah...\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm not saying that! You know,\nthings are going pretty well for me\nhere.

I was on TV.\n\nGEORGE\nAs a suspect in a serial killing.\n\nKRAMER\nOk, yeah, you guys got to put a negative\nspin on everything.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat did they put on this tuna? Tastes\nlike a dill, I think it's a dill.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're not gonna come back to New\nYork with us?\n\nKRAMER\nNo no I'm not ready, things are starting\nto happen.\n\nGEORGE\nTaste this, is this a dill?\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's tarragon.

KEITH MORRISON.\n\nNEWSCASTER\nAuthorities exposed today, that the\nlatest suspect in the smog strangling\nwas apprehended this week on an unrelated\ncharge, but somehow managed to escape\nfrom the police car, in which he was\nbeing held. Tobias Lehigh Nagy, who\nis also wanted in connection with a\nseries of unrelated slains in the North\nWest is still at large, his whereabouts\nunknown. He's described as 5'5\" bald\nand reputedly a very generous tipper.\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nThe thing about L.A. to me, that kind of threw me, was when they\nhave these smog alerts out there and they actually recommend\nthat people stay indoors during the smog alert. Now, maybe I'm\nway off, but don't you think, wouldn't you assume, that the air\nin the house pretty much comes from the air in the city where\nthe house is? I mean what do they think, that we live in a jar\nwith couple of holes punched in the top? What the hell is going\non out there? It's very strange, do you realize that it's now\npossible for parents to say to their children \"All right kids,\nI want you in the house and get some fresh air!

I mean, I don't have\n\nany ideas.\n\nGEORGE\nCome on, how hard is that? Look at all\nthe junk that's on TV.\n\nYou want an idea? Here's an idea. You coach gymnastics team in\nhigh\n\nschool. And you're married. And your son's not interested in\ngymnastics\n\nand you're pushing him into gymnastics.\n\nJERRY\nWhy should I care if my son's into gymnastics?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause you're a gymnastics teacher.\nIt's only natural.\n\nJERRY\nBut gymnastics is not for everybody.\n\nGEORGE\nI know, but he's your son.\n\nJERRY\nSo what?\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, forget that idea, it's not\nfor you....Okay, okay, I\n\ngot it. You run an antique store.\n\nJERRY\nYeah and...?\n\nGEORGE\nAnd people come in the store and you\nget involved in their\n\nlives.\n\nJERRY\nWhat person who runs an antique store\ngets involved in people's\n\nlives?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nJERRY\nSo someone comes in to buy an old lamp\nand all of a sudden I'm\n\ngetting them out of a jam?

You've for\nthe\n\ntallest man in the world; a guy who's just a head.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think so.\n\nKRAMER\nLook Jerry, the show isn't about the\ncircus, it's about watching\n\nfreaks.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think the network will go for\nit.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy not?\n\nJERRY\nLook, I'm not pitching a show about\nfreaks.\n\nKRAMER\nOh come on Jerry, you're wrong.

I think you're\ncheating him.\n\nNEWMAN\nDon't say anything.\n\nJERRY\nAll right.\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nJERRY\nYou know you're getting gypped over\nhere.\n\nKRAMER\nReally, Ah,\n\nNEWMAN\nWe had a deal.

Because people like to\nsay \"salsa.\" \"Excuse me, do\n\nyou have salsa?\" \"We need more salsa.\" \"Where is the salsa? No\nsalsa?\"\n\nGEORGE\nYou know it must be impossible for a\nSpanish person to order\n\nseltzer and not get salsa. (Angry) \"I wanted seltzer, not salsa.\"\n\nJERRY\n\"Don't you know the difference between\nseltzer and salsa?? You\n\nhave the seltezer after the salsa!\"\n\nGEORGE\nSee, this should be a show. This is\nthe show.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nThis. Just talking.\n\nJERRY\n(dismissing) Yeah, right.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm really serious. I think that's a\ngood idea.\n\nJERRY\nJust talking? Well what's the show about?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's about nothing.\n\nJERRY\nNo story?\n\nGEORGE\nNo forget the story.\n\nJERRY\nYou've got to have a story.\n\nGEORGE\nWho says you gotta have a story? Remember\nwhen we were waiting for,\n\nfor that table in that Chinese restaurant that time? That could\nbe a TV\n\nshow.\n\nJERRY\nAnd who is on the show? Who are the\ncharacters?\n\nGEORGE\nI could be a character.\n\nJERRY\nYou?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. You could base a character on\nme.\n\nJERRY\nSo, on the show, there's a character\nnamed George Costanza?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. There's something wrong with that?\nI'm a character. People are always saying\nto me, \"You know you're a quite a character.\"\n\nJERRY\nAnd who else is on the show?\n\nGEORGE\nElaine could be a character. Kramer..\n\nJERRY\nNow he's a character. (Pause) So everybody\nI know is a character on the show.\n\nGEORGE\nRight.\n\nJERRY\nAnd it's about nothing?\n\nGEORGE\nAbsolutely nothing.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're saying, I go in to NBC, and\ntell them I got this idea for a show\nabout nothing.\n\nGEORGE\nWe go into NBC.\n\nJERRY\n\"We\"? Since when are you a writer?\n\nGEORGE\n(Scoffs) Writer. We're talking about\na sit-com.\n\nJERRY\nYou want to go with me to NBC?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. I think we really go something\nhere.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do we got?\n\nGEORGE\nAn idea.\n\nJERRY\nWhat idea?\n\nGEORGE\nAn idea for the show.\n\nJERRY\nI still don't know what the idea is.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's about nothing.\n\nJERRY\nRight.\n\nGEORGE\nEverybody's doing something, we'll do\nnothing.\n\nJERRY\nSo, we go into NBC, we tell them we've\ngot an idea for a show about nothing.\n\nGEORGE\nExactly.\n\nJERRY\nThey say, \"What's your show about?\"\nI say, \"Nothing.\"\n\nGEORGE\nThere you go.\n\n(A moment passes)\n\nJERRY\n(Nodding) I think you may have something\nthere.\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry's explaining George's idea to Kramer)\n\nJERRY\nSo, the show would be about my real\nlife. And one of the characters would\nbe based on you.\n\nKRAMER\n(Thinks) No, I don't think so.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean you don't think so?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't like it.\n\nJERRY\nI don't understand. What don't you like\nabout it?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't like the idea of a character\nbased on me.\n\nJERRY\nWhy not?\n\nKRAMER\nwell it just doesn't sit well.\n\nJERRY\nYou're my neighbor. There's got to be\na character based on you.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's your problem, buddy.\n\nJERRY\nI don't understand what the big deal\nis.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I'll tell you what - you can do\nit on one condition.\n\nJERRY\nWhatever you want.\n\nKRAMER\nI get to play Kramer.\n\nJERRY\nYou can't play Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nI am Kramer.\n\nJERRY\nBut you can't act.\n\nKRAMER\nPhew!\n\n(Newman enters)\n\nJERRY\nOkay, fine. We'll use Newman.\n\nKRAMER\nNewman?\n\nNEWMAN\nUse me for what?\n\nJERRY\nNothin' What do you want?\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, you'll never guess what happened\nto me today. I was uh, driving ( Jerry\nand Kramer turn away) home on the palisades\nparkway when I looked in the rear view\nmirror and what did I see? The fuzz.\nAnd it's funny because my new radar\ndetector was on. I didn't hear a thing.\nIsn't that strange?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. That's strange.\n\nNEWMAN\nA radar detector, as I understand it,\nDETECTS RADAR! WITH A SERIES OF BEEPS\nAND FLASHING LIGHTS. But oddly, for\nsome reason I didn't hear a thing except\nfor the sound of a police siren.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's queer uh?\n\nNEWMAN\nI WANT MY HELMET BACK! GIVE ME BACK\nMY HELMET AND YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR\nTHAT TICKET.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, you better think again Mojumbo.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou gave me a defective detector. ...\nJerry?\n\nJERRY\nBuyer beware.\n\nNEWMAN\nAre you going to give me back that helmet\nor not?\n\nKRAMER\nNo. We had a deal. There are no guarantees\nin life.\n\nNEWMAN\nNo, but there's karma, Kramer.\n\nJERRY\nKarma Kramer?\n\nNEWMAN\nAnd one more thing. I'm not coming to\nyour party. (exits)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n( NBC reception area)\n\n(Jerry and George are waiting)\n\nJERRY\n(To himself) Salsa, seltzer. Hey, excuse\nme, you got any salsa? No, not selzer,\nsalsa. (George doesn't react) What's\nthe matter?\n\nGEORGE\n(Nervous) Nothing.\n\nJERRY\nYou sure? You look a little pale.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I'm fine. I'm good. I'm very good.\n\nJERRY\nWhat, are you nervous?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, not nervous. I'm good, very good.\n(A beat, then he snaps) I can't do this!\nCan't do this!\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI can't do this! I can't do it. I have\ntried. I'm here. It's impossible.\n\nJERRY\nThis was your idea!\n\nGEORGE\nWhat idea? I just said something. I\ndidn't know you were going to listen\nto me.\n\nJERRY\nDont' worry about it. They're just TV\nexecutives.\n\nGEORGE\nThey're men with jobs, Jerry! They wear\nsuits and ties. They're married, they\nhave secretaries.\n\nJERRY\nI told you not to come.\n\nGEORGE\nI need some water. I gotta get some\nwater.\n\nJERRY\nThey'll give us water in there.\n\nGEORGE\nReally? That's pretty good.\n\n(Jerry looks into hallway)\n\nJERRY\nOh God, it's Joe Devola.\n\nGEORGE\nWho?\n\nJERRY\nThis guy's a writer, he's a total nut.\nI think he goes to the same shrink as\nElaine.\n\nJERRY\nOh God he saw me.\n\nDEVOLA\nHello Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHey Joe! HOW YOU DOING?\n\nDEVOLA\nYou're under no obligation to shake\nmy hand.\n\nJERRY\nOh, no, Just a custom. Uh, THAT'S MY\nFRIEND GEORGE. YOU LOOK GOOD.\n\nDEVOLA\nWhy shouldn't I look good?\n\nJERRY\nOh, no reason. You're into karate right?\n\nDEVOLA\nYou want to hit me?\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you doing here?\n\nDEVOLA\nI dreopped a script off.\n\nJERRY\nAH, GOOD FOR YOU.\n\n(they stare at each other)\n\nJERRY\nWell, ...\n\nDEVOLA\nYou don't have to say anything.\n\nJERRY\nNo, Uh, hey I guess I'll see you Sunday\nnight.\n\nDEVOLA\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\nKramer's party.\n\nDEVOLA\nKramer's ... having ... a ... party?\n\nJERRY\nNo, no, he's not having a party. He's\ndoing something. I don't know what it\nis. It's nothing. He's not doing anything.\n\nDEVOLA\nGee, I thought Kramer and I were very\nclose friends.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm sure you are. I'm sure you are\nvery close friends. Very close.\n\n(Crazy Joe leaves)\n\nJERRY\nGive my best to Hinckley.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat was that?\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe what I just did. I didn't\nknow kramer didn't invite him. I better\ncall Kramer, ...\n\n(before he can dial)\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nThey're ready for you.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay, okay. Look, you do all the talking,\nokay?\n\nJERRY\nRelax. Who are they?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, they're not better than me.\n\nJERRY\nCourse not.\n\nGEORGE\nWho are they?\n\nJERRY\nThey're nobody.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about me?\n\nJERRY\nWhat about you?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy them? Why not me?\n\nJERRY\nWhy not you?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm as good as them.\n\nJERRY\nBetter.\n\nGEORGE\nYou really think so?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\n(The door opens, and, from Jerry and George's point of view,\nfour executives stand up)\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n( NBC president's office)\n\n(Stu Chermak, Susan Ross, Jay Crespi, and Russell Dalrymple,\nthe head of the network, are all talking with Jerry and George)\n\nSTU\n(To Jerry, laughing about one of his\nbits) The bit, the bit I really liked\nwhat were the parakeet flew into the\nmirror. Now that's funny.\n\nGEORGE\nThe parakeet in the mirror. That's a\ngood one, Stu.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it's one of my favorites.\n\nRUSSELL\nWhat about you, George? Have you written\nanything we might know?\n\nGEORGE\n(Quickly making it up) Well, possibly.\nI wrote an off-Broadway show, \"La Cocina.\"\n..Actually, it was off-off-Broadway.\nIt was a comedy about a Mexican chef.\n\nJERRY\nOh, it was very funny. There was one\ngreat scene with the chef - what was\nhis name?\n\nGEORGE\nPepe.\n\nJERRY\nOh, Pepe. Yeah, Pepe. And, uh, he was\nmaking tamales.\n\nSUSANEWMAN\nOh, he actually cooked on the stage?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no, he mimed it. That's what was\nso funny about it.\n\nRUSSELL\nSo, what have you two come up with?\n\nJERRY\nWell, we've thought about this in a\nvariety of ways. But the basic idea\nis I will play myself-\n\nGEORGE\n(Interrupting) May I?\n\nJERRY\nGo ahead.\n\nGEORGE\nI think I can sum up the show for you\nwith one word: NOTHING.\n\nRUSSELL\nNothing?\n\nGEORGE\n(Smiling) Nothing.\n\nRUSSELL\n(Unimpressed) What does that mean?\n\nGEORGE\nThe show is about nothing.\n\nJERRY\n(To George) Well, it's not about nothing.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Jerry) No, it's about nothing.\n\nJERRY\nWell, maybe in philosophy. But, even\nnothing is something.\n\n(Jerry and George glare at each other. The receptionist enters)\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nMr. Dalrymple, your niece is on the\nphone.\n\nRUSSELL\nI'll call back.\n\n(Receptionist leaves)\n\nGEORGE\n(Attempting to spell his last name)\nD-A-L-R-I-M-P-E-L?\n\nRUSSELL\n(Obviously dislikes George) Not even\nclose.\n\nGEORGE\nIs it with a \"y\"?\n\nRUSSELL\nNo.\n\nSUSANEWMAN\nWhat's the premise?\n\nJERRY\n..Well, as I was saying, I would play\nmyself, and, as a comedian, living in\nNew York, I have a friend, a neighbor,\nand an ex-girlfriend, which is all true.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, but nothing happens on the show.\nYou see, it's just like life. You know,\nyou eat, you go shopping, you read..\nYou eat, you read, You go shopping.\n\nRUSSELL\nYou read? You read on the show?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I don't know about the reading..\nWe didn't discuss the reading.\n\nRUSSELL\nAll right, tell me, tell me about the\nstories. What kind of stories?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no. No stories.\n\nRUSSELL\nNo stories? So, what is it?\n\nGEORGE\n(Showing an example) What'd you do today?\n\nRUSSELL\nI got up and came to work.\n\nGEORGE\nThere's a show. That's a show.\n\nRUSSELL\n(Confused) How is that a show?\n\nJERRY\nWell, uh, maybe something happens on\nthe way to work.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no, no. Nothing happens.\n\nJERRY\nWell, something happens.\n\nRUSSELL\nWell, why am I watching it?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause it's on TV.\n\nRUSSELL\n(Threatening) Not yet.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay, uh, look, if you want to just\nkeep on doing the same old thing, then\nmaybe this idea is not for you. I, for\none, am not going to compromise my artistic\nintegrity. And I'll tell you\n\nsomething else, this is the show and we're not going to change\nit. (To Jerry) Right?\n\n(A moment passes)\n\nJERRY\n(To Russell) How about this: I manage\na circus..\n\n(Monks)\n\nJERRY\nI don't even want to talk about it anymore.\nWhat were you thinking? What was going\non in your mind? Artistic integrity?\nWhere, where did you come up with that?\nYou're not artistic and you have no\nintegrity. You know you really need\nsome help. A regular psychiatrist couldn't\neven help you. You need to go to like\nVienna or something. You know what I\nmean? You need to get involved at the\nUniversity level. Like where Freud studied\nand have all those people looking at\nyou and checking up on you. That's the\nkind of help you need. Not the once\na week for eighty bucks. No. You need\na team. A team of psychiatrists working\nround the clock thinking about you,\nhaving conferences, observing you, like\nthe way they did with the Elephant Man.\nThat's what I'm talking about because\nthat's the only way you're going to\nget better.\n\nGEORGE\n... I thought the woman was kind of\ncute.\n\nJERRY\nHold it. I really want to be clear about\nthis. Are you talking about the woman\nin the meeting? Is that the woman you're\ntalking about?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I thought I might give her a call.\nI, I don't meet that many women. I meet\nlike three women a year. I mean, we've\nbeen introduced. She knows my name.\n\nJERRY\nIT'S COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE!\n\nGEORGE\nWhy? Maybe she liked me. I, I mean she\nwas looking right at me. You know, I\nthink she was impressed. You know, we\nhad good eye contact the whole meeting.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I forgot to call Kramer.\n\nGEORGE\nWait a minute let me call Susan.\n\nJERRY\nNo, no this is more important.\n\nGEORGE\nShe might be leaving to work any minute.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I got to warn him that I told Joe\nDevola about his party.\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\n(they race to the pay phone)\n\n(Paris hotel room - Dr. Reston and Elaine are kissing)\n\nELAINE\nWhat is it?\n\nDR. RESTON\nI was just thinking about this patient\nof mine.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nDR.

It's a traumatic\nthing to be thrown up on.\n\nJERRY\nVommiting is not a deal breaker. If\nHitler had vommited on Chamberlin, Chamberlind\nstill would have given him Chekoslovakia.\n\nGEORGE\nChamberlind, you could hold his head\nin nthe toilet, he'd still give you\nhalf of Europe.\n\n(Kramer enters with helmet)\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened to you?\n\nKRAMER\nDevola came after me.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?

What, you know\nI was walking home and I had to pick\nup my helmet from the shop, you know.\nI gota new strap. And I had it on you\nknow, and I was checking the strap out\nto make sure it fit. Then suddenly I\nfeel this kick hit me on the side of\nthe head. It knocks me down, I look\nup and it's Crazy Joe Devola. And he\nsay's, \"That's what I thin k of your\nparty.\"\n\nJERRY\nBoy,that is some kick.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, yeah, Newman's helmet, it saved\nmy life. Look at that.\n\nJERRY\nWow, Newman's helmet.\n\nGEORGE\nHolly.\n\nKRAMER\nI got bad news for you buddy. Devola\nsays you're next.\n\nJERRY\nMe, why?\n\nKRAMER\nHe doesn't like you.\n\nJERRY\nWhat does he want from me? I didn't\ndo anything. See this is all Elaine's\nfault. She took off to Europe with his\npsychiatrist. He probably can't get\nhis medication. Now I got some nut after\nme.\n\nKRAMER\nPass the cream.\n\nGEORGE\nWait a second.

I do charity for the\nblind in my spare time for the Lighthouse.\nI was in the middle of a game of Parcheesi\nwith an old blind man and I excused\nmyself to call my friend as he was very\ndepressed lately because he never became\na banker.\n\nJUDGE\nI don't understand.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou see, it'd been his lifelong dream\nto be a banker and he uh, just the day\nbefore he was turned down by another\nbank. I believe it was the Manufacturer's\nHanover on Lexington and 40th Street.\nThat was the third bank to turn him\ndown so I was-I was a little concerned.\nI wanted to see how he was doing. Well,\nYour Honor, he was barely audible. But\nI distinctly recall him say...\n\nKRAMER\nYo-yo Ma!\n\nNEWMAN\nSo I sped home to save my friend's life\nand I was stopped for speeding. Yes,\nI admit I was speeding but it was to\nsave a man's life. A close friend. An\ninnocent person who wanted nothing more\nout of life than to love, to be loved\nand to be a banker.\n\nJUDGE\nSo then he didn't kill himself.\n\nNEWMAN\nNo sir. He did not. But only by thge\ngrace of God. He's in the courtroom\ntoday\n\n(Stands up, points to Kramer.)\n\n(dramatically) sitting right over there!

Russell opens\nit, to reveal\n\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\nMay I just use your bathroom for a moment?\n\n(Restaurant Bathroom)\n\nLeo and Jerry are mid-negotiation over the watch.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, two hundred, but that's as\nhigh as I can go. I really\n\nthink you're being unreasonable here!\n\nLEO\nJerry, I'd give you the watch. It's\nnot the money, I happen to\n\nlike it.\n\nJERRY\nLook, I happen to know how much that\nwatch cost. It's a sixty\n\ndollar watch, you paid forty to get it fixed. That's a hundred\ndollars. I'm\n\noffering you two hundred!\n\nLEO\n(indicating) I've never seen a band\nlike this.\n\nJERRY\nAww, right. Three hundred, plus fifty\nfor the repair. Three\n\nfifty, that's it!\n\nLEO\nYou have it on you?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I think I do.\n\nJerry fetches out his wallet.\n\nJERRY\n(under his breath) This is unbelievable.\n\nJerry begins handing over a wad of bills to Leo. The door to\nthe\n\nbathroom opens and Morty enters.\n\nMORTY\nWhat the hell is going on here?\n\n(Dr Reston's Office)\n\nOn the street outside, Elaine waits, while upstairs Kramer introduces\n\nhimself to Dr Reston.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it uh, (offering his hand) it's\na pleasure to meet you.\n\nRESTON\n(shaking hands) Thank you for coming\nin.\n\nKRAMER\nThank you.\n\nRESTON\nPlease, sit down.\n\nDr Reston sits in one of a pair of leather armchairs which face\neach\n\nother, he crosses his legs.\n\nKRAMER\n(quiet) Okay.\n\nKramer sits and the leather of the chair makes a series of embarrassing\n\nrumbles and squeaks, with more of the same as he emulates Dr\nReston's crossed\n\nlegs sitting position.\n\nRESTON\nCould I offer you something to drink.\nUhm, coffee? Anything?\n\nKRAMER\nOkay uh, yeah. I'll have a uh, you have\na decaf cappuccino?\n\nRESTON\nI don't think we have that.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, that's a little strange.\n\nRESTON\nUh, why does that surprise you?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's uh, it's a very popular drink\n\nRESTON\nThis is an office.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's true. But, you know, I can't\nhelp but think that uh...\n\nRESTON\n(interrupting) So tell me Mister Kramer...\n\nKRAMER\n...Okay, yes, shoot.\n\nRESTON\nTell me all about uh, you and Elaine.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, alrighty uh...\n\nHe moves in his seat, resulting in another digestive tract rumble\nfrom\n\nthe leather.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, what we have here, doctor, is\nuhm, an extraordinary\n\nsituation.\n\nRESTON\nIs it?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, you better believe it.\n\n(Street Corner)\n\nElaine is waiting outside for Kramer. Along the street strolls\nJoe\n\nDavola, singing as he goes.\n\nDAVOLA\n(singing) '...Travelling along...'\n\nElaine recognises the tune, and joins in.\n\nELAINE/DAVOLA\n'...singing a song, side by side...'\n\nDavola stops and looks at Elaine. He looks like he likes what\nhe sees,\n\nand Elaine seems interested too. They flirt.\n\nELAINE\nWow. You really have a terrible voice.\n\nDAVOLA\nDo I know you?\n\nELAINE\nUhh, I don't think so.\n\nDAVOLA\n'Cos you really look familiar.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well maybe you've seen me. My face\nis on uhm, Mount\n\nRushmore.\n\nDAVOLA\nOh yes, of course, that's it. I guess\nI'm just used to seeing\n\nit on a much larger scale.\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah, right. I replaced uh, Teddy\nRoosevelt.\n\nDAVOLA\nOh really.\n\nELAINE\nUmm. Trustbuster. Bust this.\n\nThey laugh and smile at each other.\n\n(Dr. Reston's Office)\n\nKramer and Dr Reston are also laughing.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, I never thought of it like\nthat before, doctor.\n\n(points) You, are absolutely right.\n\nRESTON\nI'm glad we agree.\n\nKRAMER\n(reaching in pocket) Hey, would you\nlike a cigar? Y'know,\n\nthey're Cubans.\n\nRESTON\nI'd love one.\n\nKramer hands over a cigar and fetches a match from his pocket.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. You know, I think Elaine is a\nwonderful woman. You two\n\nare gonna make a wonderful couple.\n\nKramer strikes a match on the sole of his shoe.\n\nRESTON\nIf you ever feel, a need to talk to\nsomeone...\n\nKRAMER\n(lighting Dr Reston's cigar) Uh huh.\n\nRESTON\n...About anything. You have my number.\n\nKRAMER\n(lighting his own cigar) Well, that's\nvery kind of you.\n\nKramer puts down the match, not noticing he's placed it on a\nbox of\n\ntissues. He and Dr Reston puff contentedly at their cigars.\n\nKRAMER\nMmm, these are good, huh?\n\nKramer notices he's set light to the top tissue in the box.\n\nKRAMER\n(quiet) Oh.\n\nKramer pulls the smouldering tissue from the box. He shakes it\nto put\n\nout the fire, but a piece falls to the floor. As he reaches for\nit, he keeps\n\nthe rest of the tissue in his hand, where it burns his fingers.\nHe jumps, almost\n\ndropping his cigar, and sucks at his burned digits.\n\n(Street Corner)\n\nElaine is using Davola's back as a rest as she jots her number\non a\n\npiece of paper.\n\nELAINE\nI cannot believe I'm doing this. I never\nmeet people like this.\n\nYou're not a nut, are you?\n\nDAVOLA\nNo, I don't think so.\n\nElaine hands the piece of paper and the pen back to Davola as\nthey\n\nlaugh at the ludicrous possibility that he might be a nut.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nNaomi is handing her card to Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe I'm doing this. I never\ndo stuff like this.\n\nNAOMI\n(joking) Really? I give out my number\nto just about every\n\ncustomer who comes in here.\n\nJERRY\nOh. (chuckles) Really? You don't seem\nthat desperate.\n\nNAOMI\n(playing it straight) Oh yeah. Actually,\nI'm a little\n\ndisappointed. I kind of had my eye on uncle Leo.\n\nJERRY\nUh huh. Well uh, I'll give you a call,\nand thanks for the fish.\n\nBy the way, you know why fish are so thin?\n\nNAOMI\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\nThey eat fish.\n\nNaomi starts to laugh at his joke. It is, of course, the laugh\nlater\n\ndescribed as 'Elmer Fudd sitting on a juicer'. It's loud and\npersistent. Jerry\n\nleaves, but then leans back around the corner with a look of\ndisbelief on his face.\n\n(Lobby In Dr. Reston's Office)\n\nA cheerful Joe Davola waits for the elevator to arrive, whistling\n'Side\n\nBy Side'. The elevator arrives with a ding of the bell. The door\nopens and\n\nKramer steps out, shielded from Davola by other passengers. Kramer\nwalks away,\n\nrelighting his cigar, as Davola enters the elevator, still whistling\n\nhappily.\n\n(Street Corner)\n\nElaine sits on the steps outside the building. The door opens\nand one\n\nof the other elevator passengers exits, he releases the door,\nwhich swings\n\nshut, almost striking Kramer. Kramer walks toward Elaine.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nELAINE\nWhat happened? What took you so long?\n\nKRAMER\nHey, he's a terrific guy.\n\nELAINE\nWha...? What are you talking about?\nWhat'd he say?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, we talked about a lot of things.\n\nThe camera pans up, toward the lighted window of Dr Reston's\noffice.\n\nELAINE\nYou talked about a lot of things? Well...\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nDid you talk about us?\n\nElaine and Kramer's voices fade out, and the voices inside the\nwindow\n\nfade up.\n\nDAVOLA\nI'm in love. I just met her outside\nin the street. Her\n\nname's Elaine. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.\n\nRESTON\nDid you say Elaine?\n\n(Nightclub)\n\nJerry's standup piece.\n\nJERRY\nHow come the psychiatrist, every, the\nhour is only fifty\n\nminutes? Wha, what do they do with that ten minutes that they\nhave left? Do they just\n\nsit there going, \"Boy, that guy was crazy. I couldn't believe\nthe things he\n\nwas saying. What a nut!

(Hangs up, peeved) Now I gotta have a drink with her.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(The Ross' house)\n\n(Same diner party is going on. News of the cabin has yet to be\ndiscussed)\n\nGEORGE\nThe cabin.. (Laughs nervously) Well..\n(Pauses as he thinks of a way to break\nthe news, then decides to pass it off)\nSusan?\n\nSUSAN\nUhh.. about the cabin..\n\nMR. ROSS\n(Cutting her off) I love that place.\nMy father built that cabin in 1947.\nMy mother was recuperating from Impetigo\nat the time, and dad thought it would\n\nbe a good idea to get her out into the fresh air. She died there\nthe following winter. And he passed away 10 years later to the\nday. His last words to me were, (Mrs.\n\nRoss, bored out of her mind, has obviously heard this story a\nmillion times - she mouths the words as Mr. Ross says them) \"Cherish\nthe cabin.\" Not, uh, \"Take care\n\nof your sister.\" (Adding) She's a paraplegic. But, \"Cherish the\ncabin.\" (Smiling, reflecting) And I have.. for 45 years. It's\noften been a.. sanctuary for me.\n\nGEORGE\n(Annoyingly butting in) Kinda like Superman's\nfortress of solitude.\n\nMR. ROSS\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nS, uh, Superman - he, uh, built the\nfortress of solitude up at the North\nPole, to, uh, you know, sort of get\naway from it all..\n\nMR. ROSS\nWhen I go, I'm passing it on to her.\n(Pointing at Susan)\n\nMRS. ROSS\n(Drunk, she laughs out loud) I'll take\na hotel any day.\n\nSUSAN\nDaddy..\n\nMR. ROSS\nYes?\n\nSUSAN\nDaddy, about the cabin..\n\nMRS. ROSS\n(Laughing, she points to her shirt)\nLook, Henry, I spilled wine on me! (Laughs\nagain)\n\nMR. ROSS\n(To Susan) What about it?\n\nSUSAN\nWell, the thing is..\n\nMR. ROSS\nWhat? What is it?\n\nSUSAN\nWell, the - the cabin, is, kind of,\nuh.. George?\n\nGEORGE\n(Extremely blunt) Burned.\n\nMR. ROSS\nBurned?\n\nSUSAN\nThere was a fire, and it uh..\n\nGEORGE\nBurned.\n\nMR. ROSS\n(Still trying to comprehend what has\nhappened) The cabin burned?\n\nGEORGE\n(Laughs) yeah, burned. Whoo..\n\nMRS. ROSS\n(Laughing out loud) Burned! (George\nlaughs with her)\n\nMR. ROSS\nWas anything found? Was it all burned\nto the ground?! Did they find anything?\n\nSUSAN\n(Solemn) No. Nothing.\n\nMRS. ROSS\n(Laughing, she's obviously getting a\nkick out of her husband's misfortune)\nNothing! Ha, ha, ha.\n\n(Mr. Ross, devastated, slowly gets up and starts walking toward\nthe room's exit as everyone continues to talk)\n\nGEORGE\nEh, but, you know, Mr. Ross, if - if\nyou look at the whole situating, what\nwith it being your cigars, and everything,\nit's really rather ironic - one might\neven\n\nsay, in a sense, comical.. (Mr. Ross has, by now, left the room.\nMrs. Ross is pointing at George, nodding, laughing. As if to\nsay he hit the bullseye. George calls out\n\nto Mr. Ross) Really. Think about it.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Sandra runs out of Jerry's room, hastily putting on her jacket.\nJerry follow, buttoning his shirt)\n\nSANDRA\n(Offended) I can't believe you said\nthat!\n\nJERRY\nWhat?!\n\nSANDRA\n(Buttoning her jacket) How could you\nsay something like that to me?!\n\nJERRY\nWhat? What?! You were the one who was\ntalking dirty. I was just trying to\nkeep up!\n\nSANDRA\nThat was a weird thing to say.\n\nJERRY\nWhy? It didn't mean anything. I was\njust trying to join in so you wouldn't\nfeel embarrassed.\n\nSANDRA\nOhh, I think you're really sick.\n\nJERRY\n(Getting slightly offended) I'm not\nsick. (Pointing at her) You - you said\nmuch sicker things than me.\n\nSANDRA\nI'm leaving. (Moves toward the door.\nJerry blocks her path)\n\nJERRY\nI really think you're making too much\nof this.\n\nSANDRA\n(Attempting to get past him) Excuse\nme. (They both move to the door)\n\nJERRY\nLet me walk you to a cab.\n\nSANDRA\n(Opens the door) That's ok.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, the main thing is that this\nis just between us, and that'll be the\nend of it.\n\nSANDRA\nOh, really? (Quickly walks out)\n\nJERRY\n(Calling after her) I mean, people -\nthey're not interested in things like\nthis. They don't want to hear about\nit. They really don't.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(The Coffee shop)\n\n(Jerry's telling George about last night)\n\nJERRY\nSo, we're.. uhh, drinkin' and talkin',\nand uhh, so, she starts rubbing my leg.\n\nGEORGE\nWo-hoah! What did you do?\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastic) Have you ever told a woman\nto stop touching your leg?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, right.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, I know it's the wrong thing\nto do. She works in Elaine's office.\nI know it's wrong - but I can't get\nthat hand off my leg. I mean, I'm looking\nat the\n\nhand, and I'm thinking, \"That hand should not be on my leg.\"\nBut I can't make my brain to get my mouth to say the words, \"Would\nyou mind?!\"\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, woman have no problem getting\nthe hand off. How do they do that?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know, they're working on a whole\nother level..\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, so, go ahead.\n\nJERRY\nSo we go back to my apartment..\n\nGEORGE\n(Expressing shock) Woah. Whoa! Woah!\n\nJERRY\nSo, we're, uh, foolin' around there..\nyou know, it's getting a little passionate..\n(Scoots closer to George, to prevent\nothers from hearing) and, uh, she starts\n\nwith the dirty talking.\n\nGEORGE\n(Putting his hands up) Alright, alright,\nhold on! (Jerry has George's full attention)\nTime out! Woah, woah! (Scooting in,\ngiddy) What did she say?\n\nJERRY\n(Modest) Oh, you know, the usual..\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I don't know. How do I know the\nusual?\n\nJERRY\nTypical things.\n\nGEORGE\n(Picking up the ketchup) What typical?\nGimme typical. Gimme some typical.\n\nJERRY\nShe says, uh.. (Mumbles something inaudible.\nGeorge, so shocked by what he's just\nheard, accidentally squeezes the ketchup\nbottle - ketchup squirts out\n\nand files off-screen. George reacts deeply)\n\nGEORGE\n(Breathing deeply) That's very dirty.\n(Jerry nods) That's absolutely filthy.\n\nJERRY\n..And then she starts talking about\nher panties.\n\nGEORGE\n(Yelling out to a waitress) Gonna need\nsome water here!\n\nJERRY\nSo I said something.\n\nGEORGE\nOk, what did you say?\n\nJERRY\n(Defensively) Now, bear in mind, I am\njust trying to keep up.\n\nGEORGE\nOf course.\n\nJERRY\nOkay? So, she's taking about her panties,\nso, uh.. So, I said, \"You mean the panties\nyour mother laid out for you?\"\n\nGEORGE\n(Takes a few seconds to mull this one\nover. Shooting Jerry a confused look,\nhe repeats it) \"The panties your mother\nlaid out for you\"? (Jerry nods) What\n\ndoes that mean?\n\nJERRY\n(Throwing up his hands) I don't know!\nIt just popped out.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, how did she react?\n\nJERRY\nShe flipped out! Just left.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, that's not offensive. (Reflects)\nIt's abnormal, but it's not offensive.\n\nJERRY\nLook, the main thing is I don't want\nElaine to know about any of this. I\nmean, especially the panty remark. I\nmean, it's embarrassing. And she's never\nlet me\n\nhear the end of it.\n\nGEORGE; Well, what if this girl says something?\n\nJERRY\nShe will tell her. She's going back\nto work. I talked her into it - how\nstupid was that? (Changing subject as\nthey both collect money to pay for the\ncheck)\n\nHey, so, Susan's father took that news pretty hard, huh?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. He went into the bedroom\nand started sobbing.\n\nJERRY\nI guess he failed to see the humor in\nit.\n\nGEORGE\nHuh. (Makes a \"over his head\" gesture\nwith his arm) C'mon, let's go, go. We\ngot a lot of work to do today.\n\nJERRY\n(Getting up) Alright, big work day.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's right.\n\n(Scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry and George, with their writing materials, go to sit down\nin the living room while giving each other pep talks)\n\nGEORGE\nOkay.\n\nJERRY\nLet's go.\n\nGEORGE\nHere we are.\n\nJERRY\nRight now.\n\nGEORGE\nLet's do it.\n\nJERRY\nYou and me.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat'dya got?\n\nJERRY\n(Reading from his notebook) I got: You\nenter, you go \"Hi\", and I go, \"Hello.\"\nNow.. we need something here..\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey.\n\n(Both George and Jerry get up, giving Kramer an excited greeting\n- talking fast, together) Oh, you guys are working? I'll come\nback. (Turns to leave. Jerry and\n\nGeorge strongly protest with a series of \"No, no, no!\"'s) No,\nyou guys should get back to work. (More protests)\n\nGEORGE\nDon't be silly.\n\nJERRY\nCome in, we're taking a break.\n\nKRAMER\n(Moving back into the room) Oh, yeah?\n\nJERRY\nYeah!\n\nKRAMER\nUh, George, did you talk to that guy\nabout getting me some more cigars?\n\nGEORGE\n(Scoffs) No, I told you, I'm not gonna\ndo that.\n\nKRAMER\n(Concluding) Okay.. well, I guess I'm\njust going to have to take matters into\nmy own hands, huh? (Pause) Alright,\nI'll see you guys.

What's the closet\nbusiness?\n\nJERRY\nWhat is it your business?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm interested.\n\nJERRY\nShe reorganizes your closet and shows\nyou how to maximize your closet space.\nShe looked into my closet.\n\nGEORGE\nSo you thought she was good looking\nand figured this would be a good way\nto meet her.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. So what happened?\n\nJERRY\nSo, she mentioned she had a boyfriend\nand then it hit me. What do I need more\ncloset space for? (Across the room)\nHi, Marla.\n\nMARLA\n(Walks over to Jerry and George) Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, Marla.\n\nGEORGE\nMarla.\n\nMARLA\nGeorge. Jerry, Stacey.\n\nJERRY\nStacey.\n\nSTACEY\nJerry.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, Stacey.\n\nGEORGE\nStacey.\n\nSTACEY\nGeorge.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry. Marla. (Realizing Jerry's cue)\nStacey! (Walks over to Stacey)\n\nMARLA\nSo, how was your trip to Berlin?\n\nJERRY\nTrip to Berlin?\n\nMARLA\nRemember? That's why you put off doing\nthe closets. You said you were going\nto Berlin for a while.\n\nJERRY\nOh, right, right.\n\nMARLA\nThe wall had just come down, and you\ntold me you wanted to be part of the\ncelebration.\n\nJERRY\nYes, yes, I did. But, you know, I was\nwatching it on CNN, and they covered\nit so well I thought, \"Why knock my\nbrains out?\"\n\nMARLA\nYou, know my boyfriend went.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nMARLA\nYes, I told him all about you going\nand he got all excited and decided to\ngo.\n\nJERRY\nOh, did he like it?\n\nMARLA\nI don't know. He never came back. (Over\nto the other side of the bar)\n\nGEORGE\nAnyway, we met with NBC about a month\nago and they gave us the green light\nto go ahead and write a pilot. In fact,\nwe got a big meeting with them tomorrow.\nThey gotta approve of the story before\nwe can write.\n\nSTACEY\nWow, what a great job. A writer.\n\nGEORGE\nNot a bad way to make a buck.\n\nSTACEY\nSounds great.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'll tell you, Stacey. It's a\nlot of hard work. But, it comes fairly\neasy to me. Some people write symphonies.\nThis is my gift. (Raises ski lift ticket\nwhile Stacey looks away)\n\nJERRY\nSo, are you gonna go out with her?\n\nGEORGE\nI might.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about Susan?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? I'm not married. I'm not allowed\nto go out with somebody else?\n\nJERRY\nDepends.\n\nGEORGE\nDepends on what?\n\nJERRY\nOn many factors.\n\nGEORGE\nLike what?\n\nJERRY\nWell, how long you've been seeing her.\nWhat's your phone call frequency? Are\nyou on a daily?\n\nGEORGE\nNo. Semi-daily. Four or five times a\nweek.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about Saturday nights? Do you have\nto ask her out, or is a date implied?\n\nGEORGE\nImplied.\n\nJERRY\nShe got anything in your medicine cabinet?\n\nGEORGE\nThere might be some moisturizer.\n\nJERRY\nAh hah. Let me ask you this. Is there\nany tampax in your house?\n\nGEORGE\n(Pause) Yeah.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'll tell you what you've got\nhere.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nYou got yourself a girlfriend.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, no, no. Are you sure? A girlfriend?\n\nJERRY\nI'm looking at a guy in a semi-daily\nwith tampax in his house and an implied\ndate on Saturday night. I would like\nto help you out, but...\n\nGEORGE\nWould you believe my luck? The first\ntime in my life I have a good answer\nto the question, \"What do you do?\" and\nI have a girlfriend. I mean, you don't\nneed a girlfriend when you can answer\nthat question. That's what you say in\norder to get girlfriends. Once you can\nget a girlfriend, you don't want a girlfriend,\nyou just want more girlfriends.\n\nJERRY\nYou're going to make a good father someday.\n\nGEORGE\nWell it's not fair, Jerry. It's just\nnot fair. All right, all right. That's\nit. I'm getting out of this thing.\n\nJERRY\nFine. Break up with her. But you know\nwhat this means?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, what?\n\nJERRY\nThe script, the pilot, the TV show.\nThat's all over.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy? What do you mean?\n\nJERRY\nFigure it out. She's one of the executives\nat NBC that's gonna make the decision\nwhether or not they pick up the show.\nShe's one of our biggest fans. You drop\nher off, you think they're gonna pick\nus up?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, right. Oh no, man.\n\nJERRY\nyou know, it's a very interesting situation.\nHere you have a job that can get you\ngirls. But, you also have a relationship.\nBut if you try and get rid of the relationship\nso you can get the girls, you lose the\njob. You see the irony?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. I see the irony. All right.\nWhat about this? What if I can find\nsome way to break up with her so that\nshe'll still like me and it doesn't\naffect the deal.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcastically) Oh, yeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWait, wait. Here me out. Don't dismiss\nthis. You're very quick to dismiss.\nDon't dismiss. She's got a big crush\non David Letterman, I mean, a big crush.\nShe talks about him all the time. Suppose\nI go up to David Letterman. He works\nat NBC; I work at NBC. I explain my\nsituation. He agrees to meet her. They\ngo out, they fall madly in love. And\nshe dumps me for David Letterman.\n\nJERRY\nThis is your plan?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. I'm just thinking.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think you are.\n\nMARLA\nLet me tell you what I think.\n\nJERRY\nPlease, and be brutal. I have no closet\nsensitivity.\n\nMARLA\nAre you very fussy about your pants?\n\nJERRY\nI don't think I am.\n\nMARLA\nBecause I have a very radical idea.\nCan you handle it?\n\nJERRY\nTry me.\n\nMARLA\nHere's what I'm proposing. We eliminate\nall this. The hangers, the bar, the\nshelves. And in its place install a\nseries of hooks. We'll put everything\non hooks.\n\nJERRY\nEverything?\n\nMARLA\nEverything. The shirts, pants, sport\njackets, pajamas. We could get eighty\nhooks on here.\n\nJERRY\nYou're quite mad, you know. (Kramer\nenters) Oh, I don't believe this. (Goes\ninto other room) Hey?\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you doing?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm watching The Bold and the Beautiful.\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nThis is not a good time.\n\nKRAMER\nFive minutes. What?\n\nJERRY\nWhat did you have to give your TV away\nto George for?\n\nKRAMER\nBecause I've been watching too much.\nIt was an addiction. I couldn't stop.\nIt was, it was destroying my brain cells.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but now you're in here all the\ntime. (Marla enters from other room)\n\nKRAMER\nWell, wow.\n\nJERRY\nMarla, Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nWhy don't you go out? It's nice out.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, no. There's nothing out there for\nme.\n\nJERRY\nThere's weather.\n\nKRAMER\nWeather? I don't need weather. Weather\ndoesn't do it for me.\n\nJERRY\nI'm tellin' George to give you your\nTV back.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, I don't want it back. (Pause)\nAre you gonna watch the Knick game tonight?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know.\n\nKRAMER\nWill you tape it?\n\nJERRY\nKramer... (points to Marla)\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. (He exits)\n\nJERRY\nSo your boyfriend never came back from\nBerlin.\n\nMARLA\nNever came back.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you must have been devastated being\nleft for a wall.\n\nMARLA\nIt was about to end anyway. There was\nthis... problem.\n\nJERRY\nAh hah. (Buzzer) Excuse me one second.\nYeah?\n\nELAINE\nIt's me.\n\nJERRY\nCome on up. Oh, it's Elaine, she's just\na friend of mine. I don't know what\nshe's doing here now. (Buzzer) I'm sorry.\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nI didn't get it.\n\nJERRY\nUgh. So you were saying there was this\nproblem.\n\nMARLA\nWell, he wanted me to move in with him.\n\nJERRY\nSnapple?\n\nMARLA\nNo thanks.\n\nJERRY\nGo on.\n\nMARLA\nWell I wouldn't move in because...\n\nJERRY\nYes.\n\nMARLA\nWell because...\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nMARLA\nWell because I'm a virgin. (Elaine enters)\n\nELAINE\nHello!\n\nJERRY\nHi, um. Marla, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nI'm sorry, I didn't know you had company.\nI just wanted to return your tape.\n\nJERRY\nOh, thanks a lot, two weeks late. Now\nthat costs me thirty-five dollars to\nsee Havana.\n\nELAINE\nI'm sorry, I really am. I just kept\nforgetting.\n\nMARLA\nI should be going.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, I'm leaving.\n\nJERRY\nI like that thing in your hair there.\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah? This woman was selling them\nat this crazy party I was at last night.\nYou'll appreciate this. Snapple?\n\nMARLA\nNo thanks.\n\nELAINE\nI was talking to this guy, you know,\nand I just happened to throw my purse\non the sofa. And my diaphragm goes flying\nout. So I just froze, you know, ahh!\nStaring at my diaphragm. You know, it's\njust lying there. So then, this woman,\nthe one who sold me this hair thing,\nshe grabbed it before the guy noticed,\nso. I mean, big deal, right? So I carry\naround my diaphragm, who doesn't? Yeah,\nlike it's a big, big secret that women\ncarry around their diaphragms. You never\nknow when you're gonna need it, right?\n(Sips the Snapple) Ahh.\n\nMARLA\nI should be going.\n\nJERRY\nSo we'll talk about the hooks then?\n\nMARLA\nYes. (She exits)\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Was it something I said?\n\nJERRY\nShe's a virgin, she just told me.\n\nELAINE\nWell I didn't know.\n\nJERRY\nWell it's not like spotting a toupee.\n\nELAINE\nWell you think I should say something?\nShould I say something? Should I apologize?\nWas I being anti-virgin?\n\nJERRY\nNo, no, I mean...\n\nELAINE\n'Cause I'm not anti-virgin. I'll be\nright back. (She leaves)\n\nJERRY\nElaine, Elaine... (Buzzer) Yeah?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's George.\n\nGEORGE\nShe's a virgin?\n\nJERRY\nA virgin.\n\nGEORGE\nWow. So what're you gonna do?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. I'm very attracted to\nher. That accent, it's so sexy.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't think I could do it. You know,\nthey always remember the first time.\nI don't want to be remembered. I wanna\nbe forgotten.\n\nJERRY\nYou need a little pioneer spirit. You\nknow, you don't have any of that Lewis\nand Clark in you.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, sometimes those guys don't\nmake it back. (Looks in fridge) I'm\nreally hungry.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, me too.\n\nGEORGE\nWe gotta get something. I don't want\nto go to that meeting on an empty stomach.\nLet's get some Chinese. You wanna order\nit?\n\nJERRY\nAll right, but then we gotta get some\nwork done. Let me just call Kramer,\nsee if want anything. (Calls) Hey, we\nordering Chinese food. If you want anything--\n(Kramer enters quickly) let me know\nwhat it is and I'll order for you.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm in. Let's go for it.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do you want?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't care, whatever.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell you what. Why don't we just\nget a couple of dishes and we'll just\nshare 'em.\n\nKRAMER\nOkay. What are you getting?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm gonna get a Chow Fung.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat's a Chow Fung?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a broad noodle.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat do you mean, a broad noodle?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a big flat noodle.\n\nKRAMER\nWell I don't want a big flat noodle.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat kind of noodle do you want?\n\nKRAMER\nWho says I want a noodle?\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, look. I'm getting the Chow\nFung. You don't have to have any.\n\nKRAMER\nAll right. I'll get pea pods and you\ncan't have any of my pea pods.\n\nGEORGE\nFine.\n\nKRAMER\nGet extra MSG.\n\nELAINE\nLook, Marla. This whole sex thing is\ntotally overrated. Now, here's the one\nthing you've gotta be ready for is how\nthe man changes into a completely different\nperson five seconds after it's over.\nI mean, something happens to their personality\nit's really quite astounding. It's like\nthey committed a crime and they want\nto flee the scene before the police\nget there.\n\nMARLA\nSo they just leave?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, pretty much, yeah. Well, the smart\nones start working on their getaway\nstories during dinner. How, you know,\nthey gotta get up early tomorrow. What\nis about being up early? They all turn\ninto farmers suddenly.\n\nMARLA\nWow. It must be pretty good to put up\nwith all that.\n\nELAINE\nEh.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, let's go. We don't have much\ntime before the meeting.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere's the food? What happened to Ping?\n\nJERRY\nDon't worry, he'll be here. Look, we\nonly got about two hours. We just need\nto come up with one good story so we\ncan get through this meeting. (Buzzer)\nThere's your food.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, what about this? I'm in a car accident.\nThe motorist is uninsured, you with\nme?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nMy car's totaled. It's all his fault\nand now, he has absolutely no money.\nThere is no way that he can pay me.\nSo the judge decrees that he becomes\nmy butler.\n\nJERRY\nYour butler?\n\nGEORGE\nRight. He cooks my food, he cleans my\nhouse, he does all my shopping for me.\nAnd there you go, that's your program.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about me?\n\nGEORGE\nDon't worry, we'll find something for\nyou. (Knock of Jerry's door)\n\nJERRY\n(Getting the door) That's the stupidest\nidea I ever heard. Sentenced to be a\nbutler. (Elaine, Marla, and an injured\nPing are at the door) Ping, what happened?\n\nELAINE\nThere was a bit of an accident.\n\nPING\nHead hurts. Head really hurts.\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened?\n\nELAINE\nMarla and I went out for coffee and\nafterwards I was crossing the street\nand he was biking right towards me.\nSo I got out of the way just in time,\nbut then he ran into a parked car. He\nhit his head and everything went flying.\n\nGEORGE\nSomething happened to the food?\n\nPING\nI only saved one bag.\n\nJERRY\nShould I call an ambulance? Do you wanna\nsee a doctor?\n\nMARLA\nI'll get some ice.\n\nGEORGE\n(After looking in the bag) The pea pods?\nAll you saved was the pea pods? (Kramer\nenters)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, you got the food?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, here.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat took you so long? Hey, Ping!\n\nPING\nKramer. (Kramer and George sit on the\ncouch)\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Where's yours?\n\nGEORGE\nHe dropped it.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, that's too bad.\n\nELAINE\nYou should slow down, you know that?\nIt's dangerous to go that fast.\n\nPING\nNo, no. I have green light. You jaywalked.\n\nKRAMER\n(To Jerry) Hey, you watchin' Oprah?\n\nELAINE\n(To Ping) I did not jaywalk.\n\nJERRY\n(To George) You're givin' him back that\nTV.\n\nPING\n(To Elaine) Yes, you jaywalked.\n\nKRAMER\n(To Jerry) No, I don't want it back.\n\nPING\n(To Elaine) Jaywalker. I could slap\nsuit on you.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Jerry) We got work to do. What about\nthe meeting?\n\nKRAMER\n(To himself) Hey, look. An hour with\nPatrick Swayze.\n\nJERRY\nA month and a half we had. We did nothing.\nI can't believe we put it off until\ntoday and then we couldn't do anything\nbecause Elaine runs out to apologize\nto a virgin, crosses against a light,\nand knocks over a Chinese delivery boy.\nNow we're gonna make fools of ourselves,\nwe got nothing. You're not even in show\nbusiness. I gotta reputation. You drag\nme into the sewer with you. I've been\non TV buddy boy. You know how fast word\nspreads in show business? It's like\nthat (Snaps in George's face), like\nthat! One bad impression, you're outta\nthe business!\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, let's postpone it. Let's\nget out of here.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean? They know we're here.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll fake an illness. (Acts it out)\nMy back! My back! I can't believe, my\nback.\n\nJERRY\nNo, no, would you get up?\n\nGEORGE\nI can do this, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, I'll tell them my sister\ndied. (Starts fake crying) My poor sister\ndied. She was standing and then she\nwas laughing and then they SHOT her!\nThat's the kind of sick city that we're\nlivin' in. They shoot you for laughing.\nI must go and comfort my poor family.\nJerry, take me home so I can comfort\nmy... my poor family.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's David Letterman. I just saw David\nLetterman walk by. I'll be right back.\n(He exits)\n\nWOMAN\nMr. Seinfeld, they're ready for you.\n(She exits)\n\nJERRY\nYes, I was very wise to hitch my wagon\nto his star. (Jerry enters meeting)\n\nMAN #1\nHey, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHi, how are you doing? Nice to see you\nall here. Hello.\n\nRITA\nHello, Jerry. I'm Rita Kearson.\n\nJERRY\nOh, uh, nice to meet you. Where's Russell?\n\nRITA\nHe, uh, had to go to LA. There's a problem\non the set of Blossom.\n\nJERRY\nOh, poor Blossom. (He sits)\n\nRITA\nAnyway, he asked me to sit in for him.\n\nMAN #2\nWhere's George?\n\nJERRY\nOh, he ran to say something to David\nLetterman.\n\nSUSAN\nDavid Letterman's on the floor?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, he just walked by.\n\nRITA\nWell, I think we should get started\nanyway.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, good idea.\n\nRITA\nSo how are you guys comin' along?\n\nJERRY\nGood, good, we've got a lot of ideas.\n\nRITA\nGood. (Pause)\n\nJERRY\nHave you ever been to a Chinese restaurant\nand they tell you it'll be, like, five\nminutes for a table and you wind up\nwaitin' there for, like, thirty minutes?\nWell, we thought it would be very funny\nto do an entire show where all you're\ndoin' is waitin' for the table. (They\ndon't seem to like it) Because we've\nall been in that situation. You know,\nyou're waiting... and you're hungry...\nand you bump into somebody you know...\nWhen is Russell coming back?\n\nRITA\nSo that's the idea?\n\nJERRY\nWell no, that's one. We have many others.\nWe have an idea where, uh, I get into\nan accident with a guy who has no insurance\nand the judge sentences him to be my\nbutler. (Everyone laughs) You know he\ncooks for me, he has to cook for me...\nHe cleans my house, he's doin' my shopping,\nyou know? I'm walkin' around with one\nof those big neck collars.\n\nMAN #2\nThose collars are funny!\n\nMAN #1\nOnce you see someone in those collars\nyou start laughing immediately. (George\nenters)\n\nGEORGE\nYou tellin' 'em about the butler story?\nIs that beautiful or what? Hey, sorry\nI'm late. (Looks at Rita) Russell?\n\nRITA\nI'm Rita Kearson.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, Rita. Hey, Mr. Shermack, how're\nyou doing, good to see you. Jay, always\na pleasure. (To Susan) Sweetie. (Kisses\nher and then sits down next to Jerry)\nYeah, yeah, that butler idea, that's\nbeautiful. Isn't that killer? (Aside\nto Jerry) I thought I was getting the\nbutler.\n\nJERRY\nDon't worry, uh, we'll find something\nfor you.\n\nJERRY\nSo Letterman didn't spark to your idea,\nhuh?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, he said there was nothing he could\ndo, and next time I should probably\nbreak the Prozacs in half.\n\nKRAMER\nYou, you guys wanna hold it down? I'm\nwatchin' Jeopardy.\n\nJERRY\nWould you give him the TV back?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, by the way, George. Susan called\nfor you a minute ago.\n\nGEORGE\nI bet they're probably doing summersaults\nabout us over there. You think they\nget butler stories like that everyday?\n(He calls Susan)\n\nKRAMER\n(To the TV) Who is Joseph Cotton? Giddee\nup!\n\nSUSAN\nHello?\n\nGEORGE\nHi, it's me. It's Georgie Boy. What's\ngoing on?\n\nSUSAN\nWhat's going on? What's going on? I'll\ntell you what's going on. I'm fired!\n\nGEORGE\nFired? Why?\n\nSUSAN\nBecause you kissed me. You kissed me,\nyou stupid idiot! Rita called Russell\nand he fired me over the phone.\n\nKRAMER\n(To the TV) What is pi? Ooh! Giddee\nup again.\n\nGEORGE\nBut I had no... I didn't realize.\n\nSUSAN\nYou didn't realize? How could you not\nrealize? You're stupid! You're a stupid,\nstupid man!\n\nGEORGE\nI just feel terrible This is just terrible.\n\nKRAMER\n(To the TV once again) What is the cha-cha?\nOoh, yes indeed.\n\nSUSAN\nI'll speak to you later.\n\nGEORGE\n(Hangs up phone and pauses) this is\ngreat! He fired her! This is incredible,\nhe fired her. I'm out, baby! I'm out!\n\nJERRY\nWhy did he fire her?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause I kissed her in the meeting.\nRussell found out, he fired her over\nthe phone. Finally, my stupidity pays\noff!\n\nKRAMER\nWhat is here comes the judge, here comes\nthe judge!\n\nJERRY\nYou can't break up with her now. Her\nlife is shattered. You got her fired.\nYou gotta be there for her.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nYou gotta at least wait until she gets\nanother job.\n\nGEORGE\nAnother job?\n\nJERRY\nCouple of interviews.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, this is unbelievable. I'm stuck.\nEvery time I think I'm out, they pull\nme back in.\n\nMARLA\nAre you gonna leave after its over?\nYou know, if we have sex.\n\nJERRY\nWhat? Leave? Where? Why?\n\nMARLA\nYou know, the apartment.\n\nJERRY\nWhy would I leave? This is my apartment.\n\nMARLA\nWell what if it was my apartment?\n\nJERRY\nWho gave you this idea I would wanna\nleave?\n\nMARLA\nWell Elaine said men like to leave after\nit's over.\n\nJERRY\nListen, I wouldn't put too much stock\ninto what Elaine has to say about relationships.\nShe comes from a broken home, and I\nmean that literally. A tree fell on\nher roof and cracked the whole structure.\nHer parents got along beautifully, but\nher house was in bad shape.\n\nMARLA\nMaybe I should get going.\n\nJERRY\nWhat else did you say to her?\n\nELAINE\nNothin'. I was just givin' her the straight\ndope.\n\nJERRY\nMore like a dope was giving it to her\nstraight. Another cup of coffee with\nyou, she'll wind up in a convent.\n\nELAINE\nListen, there was a lot more I could've\ntold her, believe me.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is that about leaving after sex?\nDid I ever leave with you?\n\nELAINE\nYou might've if I'd stayed. So you know\nwhat? I got served with papers today.\nPing is suing me. I need your virgin\nas a witness. You better be nice to\nher.\n\nJERRY\nI was trying to be.\n\nELAINE\nLook at George. (On the other side of\nthe restaurant) He lucked out, huh?\n\nJERRY\nOh, you're not kiddin'. Who'd 've figured\nSusan would break up with him? They\nhad a good thing going.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, since she met him she's been vomited\non, her family cabin's been burned down,\nshe learned her father's a homosexual,\nand she got fired from a high paying\nnetwork job. Yeah, they had a real good\nthing going.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do I do? Well actually, I'm a writer.\nIn fact, I'm writing a comedy pilot\nfor NBC right now.\n\nWOMAN\nA sitcom? How can you write that crap?\nCarol, this guy's writing a sitcom.\n\nCAROL\nA sitcom? Come on, let's go. (They leave)\n\nWOMAN\nA sitcom. Can you imagine?

He's in a melancholy state)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Georgie.\n\nJERRY AND ELAINE\nHi.\n\n(George sits down next to Elaine - opposite Kramer)\n\nJERRY\n(To George) What's the matter?\n\nGEORGE\n(Slowly shakes his head) My mother caught\nme.\n\nJERRY\n\"Caught\" you? Doing what?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know. (All three give him blank\nstares) I was alone..\n\nELAINE\n(Making a face of surprise) You mean..?!\n\nGEORGE\n(Nods) Uh-huh.\n\nKRAMER\n(Laughing) She caught you?\n\n(Elaine laughs with Kramer)\n\nJERRY\nWhere?\n\nGEORGE\n(Not really wanting to embellish) ..I\nstopped by the house to drop the car\noff, and I went inside for a few minutes..\nNobody was there - they're supposed\n\nto be working. (Jerry and Elaine look at each other - enjoying\nthe story) My mother had a Glamour magazine, I started leafing\nthrough it..\n\nJERRY\n\"Glamour\"?\n\n(Kramer and Elaine laugh slightly)\n\nGEORGE\n..So, one thing lead to another..\n\nJERRY\nSo, what did she do?\n\nGEORGE\nFirst she screams, \"George, what are\nyou doing?! My God!\" And it looked like\nshe was gonna faint - she started clutching\nthe wall, trying to hang onto it.\n\nKRMAER\n(Reflecting on the story so far) Man..\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't know whether to try and keep\nher from falling, or zip up.\n\nJERRY\nWhat did you do?\n\nGEORGE\nI zipped up!\n\nELAINE\n(Wide-eyed) So, she fell?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. (Noticing this makes him out to\nbe the bad kid, he gets defensive) Well,\nI couldn't run over there the way I\nwas!\n\nELAINE\nNo, I guess you couldn't have..\n\nJERRY\n(In the middle of Elaine's sentence,\nsmiling) No, I wouldn't think so.\n\nELAINE\n(Finishing it off) ..done that.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, she fell, and then she started screaming,\n\"My back! My back!\" So, I picked her\nup and took her to the hospital.\n\nELAINE\n(Between chuckles) How is she?\n\nGEORGE\n(Somewhat angered) She's in traction.\n\nELAINE\n(Still laughing) Ok, I'm sorry.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's not funny, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\n(Stifling her laughter) I know. I'm\nsorry. I'm serious.\n\nGEORGE\nHer back went out. She's gotta be there\nfor a couple of days. All she said on\nthe way over in the car was, \"Why, George,\nwhy?!\".. I said, \"Because it's\n\nthere!\"\n\n(Kramer laughs, sipping his drink)\n\nJERRY\n\"Glamour\"?\n\n(Elaine laughs)\n\nGEORGE\n(Vowing) Well, I'll tell you this, though\n- I am never doing.. that, again.\n\nELAINE\nWhat, you mean, in your mother's house,\nor all together?\n\nGEORGE\n(Definite) All together.\n\n(The next three lines are said at the exact same time)\n\nELAINE\nOh, gimme a break..\n\nJERRY\n(Skeptical) Ohhh yeah.. right.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, like you're gonna stop?\n\nJERRY AND ELAINE\nC'mon..\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't think I can?\n\nJERRY\nNo chance.\n\nGEORGE\n(Daring) You think you could?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I know I could hold out longer\nthan you.\n\nGEORGE\nCare to make it interesting?\n\nJERRY\nSure, how much?\n\nGEORGE\nA hundred dollars.\n\nJERRY\n(Pointing) You're on.\n\nKRAMER\n(Butting in) Wait a second, wait a second.\nCount me in on this.

No, no, no..\n\nELAINE\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\n(Showing difference) It's apples and\noranges..\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Why? (More 'no, no, no's from\nJerry and George. Persistent) Why?\n\nJERRY\nBecause you're a woman!\n\nELAINE\nSo what?\n\nJERRY\nIt's easier for a woman not to do it\nthan a man.\n\nELAINE\n(Sarcastic) Oh.\n\nJERRY\nWe have to do it. It's part of our lifestyle.\nIt's like, uh.. shaving.\n\nELAINE\nOh, that is such bologna. I shave my\nlegs.\n\nKRAMER\n(Making a point) Not everyday.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, look, you want to be in?\n\nELAINE\nYeah!\n\nGEORGE\nYou gotta give us odds. At least two\nto one - you gotta put up two-hundred\ndollars.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, a thousand!\n\nELAINE\nNo, I'll - I'll put up one-fifty.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, you're in for one-fifty.\n\nJERRY\n(Nodding) Okay, one-fifty.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, now, how are we gonna monitor\nthis thing?\n\nJERRY\nWell, obviously, we all know each other\nvery well, (Elaine slightly laughs)\nI'm sure that we'll all feel comfortable\nwithin the confines of the honor system.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright. (Holds out his pinkie at the\ncenter of the table)\n\n(Jerry, Elaine, and George all hook their pinkies onto his, in\na 'pinkie promise', they all pull their hand away, yelling out\n\"Yeah!\")\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry's sitting on the couch, eating cereal while George is\non the phone with his mother)\n\nGEORGE\n(Stern) No, ma, I'm not gonna see a\npsychiatrist. N- I don't care if you\ndo pay for it! No! Discussion over.\nYeah, alright, I'll see you later. Yes,\nof course\n\nI'm gonna come by. Alright. (Hangs up, slamming it down on the\ncoffee table. He sits down next to Jerry) My mother wants me\nto see a psychiatrist now. Why?!\n\nBecause she caught me? (Scoffs, shaking his head) You know, if\neveryone who did that had to go see a psychiatrist.. (Laughing,\nhe snorts)\n\nJERRY\n(Waits for the rest of the sentence)\n..Yeah?\n\nGEORGE\n(Defensively) Whatever.\n\n(Intercom buzzes, Jerry gets up to answer it)\n\nJERRY\nHow is she?\n\nGEORGE\n(Shrugging it off) She'll be fine. I\ngotta go to the hospital to see her\ntonight.\n\nJERRY\n(Answering to the intercom) Yeah?\n\nELAINE\nIt's me.\n\nJERRY\nCome on up. (Lets her in by unlocking\nthe front door)\n\nGEORGE\nHey, what are you doing tonight?\n\nJERRY\n(Opens his door slightly for Elaine)\nDating Marla.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, the virgin?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nAny, uh.. progress, there?

(Pointing)\nSee the window on the left?\n\nGEORGE\n(In awe) Wow!\n\nJERRY\n(Also amazed) Who walks around the house\nlike that?!\n\n(All eyes are glued to the woman)\n\nGEORGE\n(Suggesting) Maybe she's a nudist. You\nknow, those nudist colony people..\n\nKRAMER\n..Yeah.. (Pause) yeah.. (Slowly stands\nup, and walks out Jerry's apartment\n- leaving Jerry and George with the\nview, he shuts the door behind him)\n\nJERRY\nHey, let me ask you a question. In these\nnudist colonies, do they eat naked in\nthe dining room?\n\nGEORGE\nI would imagine it's all naked.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about the chamber maids? Are they\nnaked, too?\n\nGEORGE\n(Still focused on the nudist) They're\nnaked, the gardeners naked.. the bellhops.\n(Jerry makes a noise of astonishment)\nOne big nude-a-rama.\n\n(Elaine enters)\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nJERRY AND GEORGE\n(Only turning back for a second) Hey.\n\nELAINE\nWell, (Smiling) where's my money?

I'm gonna go tonight.\n\nJERRY\n(Commenting) Yeah.. the - the waitress\nshould've taken it back.\n\nELAINE\n(Realizes Jerry and George aren't paying\nattention) So then, I got a call this\nmorning. You know, I was, uh, chosen\nto go on the space shuttle. We're goin'\n\nto Mars.\n\nJERRY\n(Still staring at the woman) Uh-huh.\n\nGEORGE\nHave a good time.\n\n(Kramer casually enters, takes a few step toward the kitchen,\nand slaps a wad of bills onto the counter)\n\nKRAMER\n(Declaring) I'm out!\n\n(Kramer now has the attention of everyone in the room. Jerry's\nmouth is open in shock. A moment passes)\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'm out - I'm out of the contest.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're out?!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah.. (Notes their reactions)\nwhat?\n\nELAINE\nWell, that was fast!\n\nJERRY\nWell, it was that woman across the street.\n(To Jerry) You know, you better be careful,\nbuddy. She's gonna get you next.

George, sitting back in a chair,\nis visiting her)\n\nELAINE\nI don't understand you. I really don't.\nYou have nothing better to do at three\no' clock in the afternoon? I go out\nfor a quart of milk, I come home, and\nfind\n\nmy son treating his body like it was an amusement park!\n\nGEORGE\n(Stern, trying to shut her up) Ma.\n\nESTELLE\nDon't give me \"Ma\". It's a good thing\nI didn't hit the table. I could of cracked\nmy head open.\n\nGEORGE\nMa, people can hear you.\n\nESTELLE\n(Heavy in sarcasm) Too bad you can't\ndo that for a living. You'd be very\nsuccessful at it. You could sell out\nMadison Square Garden. Thousands of\n\npeople could watch you! You could be a big star!\n\nGEORGE\n(Getting up) Alright, Ma, that's enough!\n\nESTELLE\nI want you to go see a psychiatrist.\n\nGEORGE\nNo! I am not going to see a psychiatrist!\n\nESTELLE\nWhy? Why not?! Why won't you go?\n\nGEORGE\n(Like a kid) Because I don't want to.\n\nESTELLE\nI want you to go see somebody.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I am not going.\n\nESTELLE\nIt's a good thing your father's in Chicago.\n\n(George's cousin, Shelly, enters)\n\nSHELLY\nHello, Aunt Estelle.

She\nhas to relive the experience now?!\n\n(On the other side of a curtain divider, the silhouette of a\nshapely nurse can be seen entering)\n\nNURSE\nHi, Denise. Six-thirty, time for your\nsponge bath.\n\n(The shadow of a patient awakening can be seen)\n\nDENISE\nMmm.. is it six-thirty already? I fell\nasleep.\n\n(The two women go about preparing the sponge bath. George is\nvisibly affected - breathing heavily, and staring at them through\nthe curtain)\n\nSHELLY\n(Seems not to notice what's going on\nbeyond the divider) So, George, what\nare you doing now? I hear you got some\nkinda television, writing - thing?\n\nGEORGE\n(Slowly backing away, he's not at all\ncommitted to the conversation) Yeah..\ntelevision.\n\n(The patient, Denise, is trying to get her gown off)\n\nNURSE\nLet me help you out with that. Here,\njust slip it over your head..\n\nDENISE\nOh.. thank you.\n\nSHELLY\n(Nodding) Well, it's about time. We\nthought you were gonna wind up on the\nstreet. (As the bath is going on, George\nis now completely mesmerized)\n\nWhat is it you're doing, exactly?\n\n(A moment passes. George seems not to have heard his cousin)\n\nESTELLE\nGeorge, you're cousin, Shelly, is talking\nto you!\n\n(New York Health Club)\n\n(Elaine, dressed for a work-out, is signing forms while talking\nwith her friend, Joyce)\n\nJOYCE\nSo, when was the last time you took\na class?\n\nELAINE\nOh, it's been a while.\n\nJOYCE\n(Overly excited) Are you psyched?\n\nELAINE\n(Fake excitement) Yeah. yeah, I'm really..\npsyched.\n\nJOYCE\nWell, you're gonna thank me for getting\nyou in here.\n\nELAINE\nWhy is that?\n\nJOYCE\n(Pointing, she directs Elaine's attention\noff-camera) See the guy with the dark\nhair and the red shorts?\n\n(Elaine looks over, and her jaw drops to the floor.

(She shuts the door,\nhe waves)\n\n(Jerry's bedroom)\n\n(Jerry, in the middle of the night, is moving around - unable\nto get to sleep, he's restless. Scene cuts to George. He's wide\nawake, and staring at the ceiling. Cut to\n\nElaine. She's settling into bed, unable to get to sleep. The\nscene takes a final cut to Kramer. He's sound asleep)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry's in a grouchy mood. Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\n(Singing) Goood Moorrrnninng!\n\nJERRY\n(Out of it) Yeah, good morning.\n\nKRAMER\nHa, ha!

So, listen,\nafter the class was over, I timed my\nwalk to the door so we'd get there at\n\nthe exact same moment, and he says to me, (Thinking the world\nof what he said) \"Quite a workout.\"\n\nGEORGE\n\"Quite a workout\"? What did you say?\n\nELAINE\n(Smiling, proud) I said, \"yeah.\"\n\nJERRY\n(Adding, fake praise) Good one.\n\nELAINE\nSo then, listen, listen. So then, I\nshowered and I dressed, and I saw him\nagain, on the way out. (Giddy and nearly\nout of breath) So we're walkin' and\n\nAnd I said, \"Sure\" - even though I was going downtown. So, we\nget in the cab, and I mean, I have no idea where I'm goin', right?\nBut this is John F. Kennedy Junior\n\nwe're talkin' about! (Deep breath) So, then, he says to me, \"Where\ndo you live?\" And I - and I - and I was close to your block,\nso I said your building. So he\n\ndropped me off in front, (Laughs) and I had to take a cab all\nthe way back downtown to my house..

(George\nsits back in a nearby chair, looking\nat the divider in anticipation)\n\nESTELLE\n(Let down) Could you go now, George?\nI'm very hungry. I'm weak.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, wait a little while, Ma. What's\nthe difference?\n\nESTELLE\nI don't understand why you can't do\nthis for me!\n\nGEORGE\n(Standing up) I just got here, Ma!

They looked so good to me, I just\nhad to\n\nhave them!\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, well, they're my socks!\n\nJERRY\nThey're my socks!\n\n(A brief moment passes as they look at each other)\n\nGEORGE\nOh boy..\n\nJERRY\nWhat are we doing here..\n\nGEORGE\n..Oh boy.\n\nJERRY\nThis is ridiculous.\n\nGEORGE\nDo you believe this? We're fighting.\nWe're fighting.\n\nJERRY\nI haven't been myself lately. I've been\nsnapping at everybody.\n\nGEORGE\nMe too. I've been yelling at strangers\non the street.\n\n(Elaine slowly enters, shutting the door behind her)\n\nELAINE\nHello.. (Pulls a wad of bills out of\nher purse, and starts to count it up)\n\nGEORGE\n(Shocked) You caved?!\n\nJERRY\nIt's over?\n\nGEORGE\nYou're out?\n\nJERRY\nOhh-my-God. The Queen is dead.\n\n(Elaine sets the bills down on the counter)\n\nGEORGE\nI figured you'd cruise. At least through\nthe Spring.\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened?\n\nELAINE\nIt was..uh.. John-John.\n\nJERRY AND GEORGE\nOhhhhh.. John-John.\n\nJERRY\nBut you made it through the day before.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, but yesterday, he told Joyce,\nthe aerobics teacher, that he wants\nto meet me outside here at nine o' clock\ntonight.\n\nJERRY\nWhy outside here?\n\nELAINE\nBecause he think I live here. Remember\nwhen we shared a cab, and he dropped\nme off out in front? He's picking me\nup.\n\n(George picks up the money, counting it)\n\nJERRY\nAlright, Costanza - it's just you and\nme.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd then, (Smacks the money) there were\ntwo.\n\nELAINE\n(Slowly) Elaine Benes Kennedy Junior..\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry and Marla are making out on the couch)\n\nMARLA\nLet's go in the bedroom.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nMARLA\nYes.\n\nJERRY\nYou sure?\n\nMARLA\nYes.\n\nJERRY\nYou really want to?\n\nMARLA\nI do. I'm ready.\n\nJERRY\nOkay..\n\nMARLA\nI know how difficult this must have\nbeen for you.\n\nJERRY\n(Chuckles) You don't know the half of\nit.\n\n(They both laugh slightly)\n\nMARLA\nWhat do you mean?\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's kinda silly, but..\n\n(Scene cuts to Elaine on the sidewalk waiting for JFK Jr. She\nchecks her watch. Scene cuts back to Jerry's apartment. Marla,\nobviously upset, is putting her coat\n\non)\n\nMARLA\nContest?! A contest! This is what you\ndo with your friends?\n\nJERRY\nNo, it was just a bet. I mean, it actually\nstarted with George and his mother-\n\nMARLA\nI don't want to hear another word. And\nto think how close I came to you being\nthe one! I must have been out of my\nmind.\n\n(She leaves, slamming the door. Jerry hangs his head, then directs\nhis attention to his window. Eagerly walking over, he sits in\nhis chair, staring at the woman)\n\n(Scene cuts to Elaine. Marla walks out in front of her, trying\nto hail a taxi)\n\nELAINE\nMarla? Hi, oh, I'm glad I ran into you-\n\nMARLA\nI don't want to have anything to do\nwith you or your perverted friends.\n(Confused, Elaine moves closer) Ooohh,\nget away from me! You're horrible.\n\nHorrible! All of you!\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nELAINE\nWhat happened?\n\nJERRY\nI told her about the contest.\n\nELAINE\nOhh. Boy, she's a whack-o.\n\n(George enters)\n\nGEORGE\n(To Elaine) Hey, what happened?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI thought you were meeting Kennedy.\n\nELAINE\n(Let down) He didn't show.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, he did.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? He's - He's out there? Oh, my\nGod. I-I gotta go, I gotta go..\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no, no. He just left.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, he was talking to Marla.\n\nJERRY\nMarla?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I think, you know, she was, like,\ncrying, and he was consoling her, and\nthen, she, uh, just got into his car,\nand they just drove away.\n\nELAINE\n(Angered) He left with Marla, the virgin?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nThey drove away?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, drove away.. You know, I said\n'Hello' to him. You know, he's - he's-\n\nJERRY\n(Moving to the window, shocked) Oh my\nGod in heaven!\n\n(All three crowd around the window)\n\nELAINE\n(Makes a sound of surprise) Is that..?\n\nGEORGE\nKramer?!\n\n(A brief pause)\n\nELAINE\nHe's waving..\n\n(All three wave back)\n\n(Elaine's bedroom)\n\n(Elaine's sound asleep. Scene cuts to George, then Jerry. They\ntoo, are sleeping. Scene takes a cut to Kramer and the nudist\n- both asleep; then a final cut to Marla's\n\nbedroom. She's sleeping with JFK Jr)\n\nMARLA\nOhh, John.

This window doesn't\nwork.\n\nJERRY\nI hate rental cars. Nothin' ever works:\nthe window doesn't work,\n\nthe radio doesn't work... and it smells like a cheap hooker...\n\n(pause) Or is that you?\n\nELAINE\nGimme ten bucks and find out...\n\nJERRY\nSo, this worked out pretty good. Them\ngivin' me an extra ticket, y'know, you\nget a free trip to St. Louis, I did\nmy gig, you got to\n\nsee your sister...\n\nELAINE\nYeah, worked out good.\n\nJERRY\nAnd here's the beauty--\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nGeorge is pickin' us up at the airport.\n\nELAINE\nGet out of here! Why?\n\nJERRY\nYou know that awning outside my building?\n\nELAINE\nYeah...\n\nJERRY\nHe's always bragging about his vertical\nleap, so I bet him fifty bucks that\nhe couldn't touch the awning.\n\nELAINE\nSo what happened?\n\nJERRY\nHe didn't come within two feet of the\nthing.

Never be late for a plane with\na girl. 'Cuz a girl runs like a girl--\nwith the little steps and the arms flailing\nout... You wanna make this plane, you've\ngotta run like a man!\n\nGet your knees up!\n\nYeah, but Jerry-- she's so darned perky when she runs. Besides,\nshe's carrying luggage and you're not. Some gentleman. Hmfph.\nAnyway, they get to the ticket counter.\n\nJERRY+ELAINE\nThe flight's been canceled?!?!\n\nTICKET LADY\nEverything into JFK's booked... No,\nwait-- I have two seats\n\ninto Laguardia-- but they're not together. It's boarding right\nnow.\n\nJERRY\nWe'll take 'em!\n\nELAINE\nWe're not going to sit together?\n\nJERRY\nWell, so what? It's not that long--\nyou'll read.\n\nELAINE\nWell, what about George? He's supposed\nto pick us up at Kennedy.\n\nJERRY\nWe'll call him...\n\nELAINE\nThere's no time.\n\nJERRY\nNo time? (To ticket lady) Is there time?\n\nTLADY\nThere's no time.\n\nJERRY\nThere's no time. All right, we'll call\nhim from the plane.\n\nTLADY\nI have one seat in first class, and\none in coach. The price is the same\nsince your flight was canceled.\n\nJERRY\nI'll take the first class.\n\nELAINE\nJerry!\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nWhy should you get the first class?\n\nJERRY\nElaine, have you ever flown first class?\n\nELAINE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nAll right then. See? You won't know\nwhat you're missing. I've\n\nflown first class, Elaine-- I can't go back to coach. I can't...\nI won't...\n\nELAINE\nYou flew here coach.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that's a point...\n\nELAINE\nAll right, fine. I don't care. If the\nplane crashes, everybody in first class\nis going to die, anyway.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I'm sure you'll live.\n\nThey board the plane, and the flight attendant \"welcomes\" Elaine\naboard.\n\nATTENDANT #1\nThird row right...\n\nThen Mr. First class Jerry comes aboard.\n\nATTENDANT #1\nOh, you're in here, sir. Welcome aboard.\n\nJERRY\nBon voyage, Lainey!\n\nPASSENGER #1\nOh, excuse me... Um, excuse me, miss,\nI think you're\n\nsitting in my seat...\n\nElaine moves over, and he moves in.

(To herself) Help me...\n\nTIA\nExcuse me, I think you're in my seat...\n\nJERRY\nOh, sorry... My mistake... (To himself)\nThank... *you*!\n\nDid I mention that Tia is one hot tamale? Yikes.\n\nAnyway, we cut back to George and Kramer in the car.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, thanks for coming with me.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, what made you think you could touch\nthat awning?\n\nGEORGE\nI confused it with another awning.\n\nKRAMER\nSo how we doin' on time?\n\nGEORGE\nWe're perfect. I timed this out so we\nwould pull up at the terminal *exactly*\n17 minutes after their flight is supposed\nto land. That gives them just enough\ntime to get off the plane, pick up their\nbags and be walking *out* of the terminal\nas we roll up.\n\nI tell you, it's a thing of beauty. I can not express to you\nthe feeling I get from a perfect airport pickup.\n\nUm, George... Did you say \"perfect\"?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's going on? What are you doing?\nThe Long Island Expressway?\n\nWhat are you getting on the Long Island Expressway for? Do you\nknow what the traffic will be like? This is a suicide mission!\n\nKRAMER\nWill you relax?!\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I had it perfectly timed out: the\nGrand Central, the Van Wyck!\n\nYou destroyed my whole timing!\n\nKRAMER\nThis is the best way to go!\n\nGEORGE\nDo you know what happens if I miss him?\nI don't get credit for the pickup and\nI lose my 50 bucks...\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge, there's no traffic at this time.\nNow, come on, man...\n\nGEORGE\nReally?\n\nKRAMER\nIf anything, we'll probably get there\nearly. I'll have a chance to\n\ngo to the Duty Free shop.\n\nGEORGE\nThe Duty Free Shop? Duty Free is the\nbiggest sucker deal in retail.\n\nDo you know how much duty is?\n\nKRAMER\nDuty.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, \"duty\". Do you know how much duty\nis?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I dunno how much duty is.\n\nGEORGE\nDuty is *nothing*. It's like sales tax...\n\nKRAMER\nI still like to stop at the duty free\nshop.\n\nGEORGE\nI like to stop at the duty free shop.\n\nG+K\nI like to stop at the duty free shop!\n\nI like to stop at the duty free shop!\n\nMeanwhile, back on the plane, Jerry and Tia are chatting (isn't\nthat always the way? You get stuck beside someone who insists\non going on and on about their kids and how their life didn't\ngo according to plan and all that boring dreck...)\n\nTIA\nSo, he says, \"squeeze your breasts together\",\nand I say, \"I thought this was an ad\nfor shoes\"...\n\nJERRY\nOh my...\n\nOkay, maybe not all conversations are dull and boring...\n\nTIA\nIs that the new Esquire? Turn to page\n146.\n\nOh yeah, did I mention he had a magazine on his lap and *that's*\nwhat she was gawking at? Anyway, he checks out page 146.\n\nJERRY\nWow! Coming out of the shower... It's\na good thing they gave you\n\nthat washcloth to cover yourself up...\n\nUm, what was that page number again?\n\nJERRY\nWhat is this an ad for?\n\nTIA\nSee those wrinkled jeans slung over\nthe chair? Way in the background, out\nof focus?\n\nJERRY\nUh-huh...\n\nIn traffic, Kramer and George are surrounded by honking cars\nand what is obviously heavy traffic...\n\nKRAMER\nHow does it look on your side? (Pause\nwhile George just stares at him) We'll\nget there...\n\nBack in, ugh, *coach* (those heathens), the annoying guy is sleeping\nbeside\n\nELAINE\nOh, look at this... He's sleeping and\nI have to go to the bathroom. Maybe\nhe'll wake up soon. What if my kidneys\nburst? Is it worth it not to wake this\nman up to damage a major organ? I hope\nthis disgusting slob appreciates what\nI'm doing for him... (To passenger on\nthe other side of her, but still to\nherself) Yeah, make a little more noise\nwith your gum-- that's helpful.\n\nGEORGE\nThey're not here! You cost me fifty\nbucks!\n\nKRAMER\nLook at you! You run like a girl! Run\nlike a man! Lift your knees!\n\nGEORGE\nLook, we're wasting our time here! We're\na half-hour late, they've probably took\nit off the board already.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, there it is, right there-- 133...\nand it's canceled.\n\nGEORGE\nCanceled? Do I still get credit for\nthe pick up? I was here!\n\nKRAMER\nOk, c'mon... let's go check over at\nthe ticket counter.\n\nGROSSBARD\nOh, there it is honey, gate 18A, 8:30...\n(He leaves)\n\nKRAMER\nDid you see that guy?\n\nGEORGE\nNo... What guy?\n\nKRAMER\nThat guy.. He was just...\n\nGEORGE\nListen, you go over to the ticket counter,\nI'm going to go stop in the gift shop\nand pick up a copy of Time magazine.\nThere's supposed to ba blurb about Jerry\nin it and I think he mentioned my name!\n\nKRAMER\n(still lost) I know that guy...\n\nY'know, he looks familiar to me, too. Reminds me of this guy\nJohn Grossbard that I knew a while back. Got me involved in one\nof those shady pyramid schemes... Man, if I ever meet up with\nhim again...\n\nPRISONER\nGotta get my Time magazine... Never\nmiss my Time magazine.\n\nGUARD\nYeah, get your magazine and let's get\nout of here.\n\nGeorge lifts the last copy from the rack before the con can get\nit.\n\nPRISONER\nHey, I was gonna take that!\n\nGEORGE\nGee, I'm sorry... I got here first.\n\nPRISONER\nI don't care when you got here, I want\nthe magazine...\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't understand, there's a *blurb*\nabout me in this magazine!\n\nPRISONER\nA *blurb*?!? *You're* a blurb! Check\nout the cover, idiot!\n\nGUARD\nAll right, let's go...\n\nGeorge checks out the cover shot which shows a picture of the\naforementioned prisoner with the caption \"Caught!\" written below.\n\nPRISONER\nI want the magazine!\n\nGEORGE\nUmm... No.\n\nPRISONER\nYou know what I would do to you, if\nI wasn't in these shackles...\n\nGEORGE\nBut you are Blanche... You *are* in\nthe shackles. Oh, I can't wait to read\nmy *Time* magazine! Laaaast copy, too.\nMaybe I'll read it tomorrow-- in the\npark! It's supposed to be a beeyootiful\nday! Have a nice life... sentence, that\nis!\n\nKramer comes into the gift shop and does a Krameresque double-take\nat \"that guy\" from the departure screen who's browsing books.\nHe goes up to\n\nGeorge.\n\nKRAMER\nThey're on a different flight. They're\nscheduled to land in a half hour, only\nat Laguardia.\n\nGEORGE\nLaguardia? All right, let's go. C'mon...\n\nKRAMER\nWhere do I know that guy from?\n\nBack in the developing nation section of the plane (coach, that\nis), Elaine is still pining for the guy next to her to wake up\nso she can go to the bathroom.\n\nELAINE\n(To herself, loudly) Wake up, you human\nslug! Wake up! *Wake*\n\n*up*!! I can't hold it anymore! (To the slug out loud) Excuse\nme, I've gotta go to the bathroom...\n\nThe cad has the nerve to look peeved, and Elaine has a hard time\ngetting out of her seat. She looks a little like Kramer stumbling\nand falling into the aisle. The capper is that as she's getting\nup, facing the row of seats (and their staring sitters) across\nfrom her, Elaine makes faces at them like she's a homicidal maniac\nfrom \"Taxi Driver\". You can just see the words \"You lookin' at\n*me*?\" etched in her brain. It's a killer.\n\nAnyway, as Elaine scurries off to the bathroom, Jerry and Tia\nare enjoying some hot towels on their faces.\n\nJERRY\nOh my... that *is* refreshing...\n\nATTENDANT\nWould you care for some slippers?\n\nJERRY\nSounds lovely! (To Tia, motioning to\nput them on her) May I?\n\nTIA\nPlease!\n\nJERRY\nWhy, It's a perfect fit. You must be\nCinderella.\n\nThey chortle to themselves and tink glasses (no, that's not a\ncleverly- masked euphemism). Back in the car...\n\nGEORGE\nMy name is not mentioned in this blurb...\n\nDing!\n\nKRAMER\nIt's Grossbard!\n\nWhy don't these people listen to me? I don't understand...\n\nGEORGE\nWho's Grossbard?\n\nKRAMER\nWhen I lived on Third avenue and 18th\nstreet 20 years ago, I had this roommate\nwho was *always* behind in his rent.\nThen one month,\n\nhe asks me to loan him his share of the rent-- 240 bucks! He\ntook the cash and )pfffft( disappears. Well, I try to find him,\nI went\n\nto his girlfriend's house, even his family. Uh-uh. I never got\nthe money back! He screwed me! And that's the guy-- John Grossbard!\n\nGEORGE\nHey Kramer, c'mon-- it was 240 bucks\ntwenty years ago...\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I'm gonna turn around... I'm gonna\nget that guy...\n\nGEORGE\nNo-no-no, Kramer. Kramer! Kramer! You\n*cannot* abandon people in the middle\nof an airport pickup! It's a binding\nsocial contract.\n\nWe... we must go forward... not back.\n\nGeorge, that's beautiful. Ever thought of running for office?\n\nJERRY\nTia, did you see all the flowers in\nthat bathroom? It's like an English\ngarden in there.\n\nATTENDANT\nThey're gardenias, mostly.\n\nJERRY\nI thought I smelled lilac.\n\nATTENDANT\nYes, there are a few of those, too...\n\nTIA\nIt's almost overwhelming...\n\nCAPTAIN\nLadies and gentlemen, this is your captain\nspeaking. Due to equipment problems\nat the runway at Laguardia, we've been\n\ninstructed by the tower to re-route and land at JFK. We apologize\nfor any inconvenience...\n\nELAINE\n(To anyone who'll listen) What'd he\nsay? What'd he say?\n\nBack to George and Kramer at Laguardia; George has been inside\nto see if J+E are there, he reports his findings back to Kramer\nin the car.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, You're not gonna believe it...\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nThe plane's been re-routed *back* to\nKennedy. We've got 45 minutes.\n\nKRAMER\nLet's go. Listen to the bell, Grossbard--\nit tolls for thee.\n\nKramer peels out. He's on a mission from God.\n\nATTENDANT\nWe have some *delicious* Chateau Briande,\nmy personal favourite.\n\nOr, if you prefer something lighter, a poached Dover sole in\na delicate white wine sauce with just a *hint* of saffron.\n\nJERRY\nOh, saffron! That sounds good.\n\nATTENDANT\nAnd today we're featuring wines from\nthe *Tuscany* region...\n\nJERRY+TIA\nTuscany!\n\nThey do that \"tink\" thing again, and we rejoin Elaine going back\nto her seat, but the other attendant is serving the slop to the\nunwashed masses\n\nin coach and he's in her way.\n\nELAINE\nHi. Can I get to my seat?\n\nATTENDANT\nYou're just gonna have to wait...\n\nELAINE\nBut you just passed it. I'm sitting\nright there next to that guy...\n\nATTENDANT\nYou're not supposed to get up during\nthe food service.\n\nELAINE\nWell, nobody *told* me that!\n\nATTENDANT\nLook. This plane is *full*. I got a\nlot of people to serve.\n\nNow please... You're just gonna have to wait.\n\nBack at JFK, George and Kramer check out the Arrivals board (again)...\n\nGEORGE\nThere it is. Gate 46... We got plenty\nof time.\n\nKRAMER\nGrossbard's plane leaves in ten minutes.\nI *still* got time to\n\ncatch him!\n\nGEORGE\nHow you gonna catch him? He's probably\nboarded the plane already.\n\nKRAMER\nGimme your credit card.\n\nGEORGE\nMy credit card?\n\nKRAMER\nJust gimme the card, don't ask me any\nquestions.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not gonna give you my card unless\nyou tell me what it's for!\n\nKRAMER\nI'm gonna buy a ticket-- I'm gonna get\non that flight.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, are you, nuts? You're gonna spend\nmore on the ticket than you're gonna\nget back from Grossbard.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I'm not gonna use the ticket! I'm\ngonna get my money, I'll get\n\noff the plane and turn your ticket in for a refund. It's not\ngonna cost you a dime! Now gimme the card.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is a *great* idea! Here... use\nthis one. I get frequent flyer\n\nmiles with every purchase... Wait! Get two tickets. As long as\n\nyour turning it in for a refund what's the difference? I'll get\n*double* the bonus miles.\n\nBack in *coach* (I get hives just thinking about it), Elaine\nreturns to her\n\nseat now that the attendant is done serving.\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me. I'm sorry to make you do\nthis, but I got stuck in the aisle and\nthe flight attendant wouldn't let me\nget through.\n\nThere's no way to get around that cart...\n\nPASSENGER 1\nYou're not supposed to get up during\nthe food service.\n\nELAINE\nI'll try and remember that. (Pause)\nWhere's my meal?\n\nPASSENGER 1\nHe asked me where you were, and you\nwere gone so long I thought you, uh,\nswitched seats.\n\nUh-huh... Elaine addresses the nearby attendant.\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me? Excuse me, but I didn't get\na meal.\n\nATTENDANT\nAre you sure?\n\nELAINE\nYes, I'm sure! I would know if a tray\nof food had been served to me.\n\nATTENDANT\nWould you?\n\nOoooh, them's fightin' words, Monroe.\n\nATTENDANT\nWell, the only meal left is a kosher\nmeal.\n\nELAINE\nKosher meal? I don't want a kosher meal.\nI don't even know what a kosher meal\nis.\n\nPASSENGER 1\nI think it means when a Rabbi has inspected\nit, or something.\n\nPASSENGER 2\nNo, no. It all has to do with the way\nthey kill the pig.\n\nPASSENGER 1\nThey don't eat pigs!\n\nPASSENGER 2\nThey do if it's killed right-- under\na Rabbi's supervision.\n\nUmmmm, sure. Another (uncredited) passenger addresses the debate\nfrom somewhere out of camera range.\n\nPASSENGER 3\nOh, You know what? *I* ordered the kosher\nmeal.\n\nELAINE\nThen why didn't you take it?\n\nPASSENGER 3\nI ordered it six weeks ago, I forgot.\n\nELAINE\nYou're eating my food!\n\nATTENDANT\nLook, I got earplugs to collect. Do\nyou want it, or not.\n\nTake the food, Elaine. But ask that guy just what the heck a\nkosher meal is-- I'm curious...\n\nMeanwhile, Jerry and Tia enjoy a nummy-lookin' dessert treat.\n\nJ+T\nMmmmmmmm!\n\nTIA\nThis is the best sundae I've ever had.\n\nJERRY\nOh, man. You know what... they got the\nfudge on the bottom-- y'see?\n\nThat enables you to control your fudge distribution as you're\neatin' your ice cream.\n\nTIA\nI've never met a man who knew so much\nabout nothing.\n\nJERRY\nThank you...\n\nJ+T\nMmmmmm!\n\nWe get a quick shot of Elaine staring at *something* on the end\nof her fork\n\nATTENDANT\nMore anything?\n\nJERRY\nMore everything!\n\nDoes that include Rabbi-slaughtered bovines?\n\nBack at JFK...\n\nKRAMER\nLook, I got Super Savers! C'mon.\n\nGEORGE\nSuper Savers? Are they refundable!?\n\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nYou bought non-refundable tickets, you\nidiot!\n\nKRAMER\nShe talked me in to it-- she said it\nwas the best deal.\n\nGEORGE\nDo you know how much this is going to\ncost me?\n\nKRAMER\nLook, I'll tell you what-- I'll split\nit with you\n\nHow big of you, you brute. They board the plane.\n\nGEORGE\nLook, I'm gonna go to the bathroom...\n\nI dunno, George. Those *coach* bathrooms stink. Just ask Elaine.\n\nKramer goes forward and confronts Grossbard. For his part, Grossbard\ndoesn't seem to recognise Kramer from twenty years ago (then\nagain, he apparently had short hair at the time). After trying\nin vain to reach Grossbard's wallet, Kramer is escorted off the\nplane. Before this can take place, George knocks on the bathroom\ndoor to a reply of \"Just a minute\" from the occupant inside (I\nbet he stinks). Anyway, the door opens and, surprise! It's the\nPrisoner without his Time magazine (at least now we know why\nhe needed it so badly-- reading material for the john). Anyway,\nthe guy pulls George into the bathroom (he's still wearing his\ncuffs and shackles, BTW (that's got to make it rather difficult\nto go to the bathroom, but I digress)). So, while George is in\nthe can with the serial killer, Kramer is escorted off the plane.\nDon't worry-- the plane isn't moving yet. And what's up with\ngoing to the bathroom on a non-moving plane? Isn't there laws\nagainst that? Or is it just trains that you have to wait until\nthey're moving? Who really cares, anyway?\n\nATTENDANT\nExcuse me... Excuuuse me...\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Oh, no... nothing for me thanks.\n\nATTENDANT\nWhat is your name?\n\nELAINE\nElaine Benes?\n\nATTENDANT\n(Checks her list) You're going to have\nto go back to coach.\n\nELAINE\nNo, but there was nobody sitting here...\n\nATTENDANT\nYes, but you're still not allowed. These\nseats are very expensive.\n\nELAINE\nOh, no, please, don't send me back there.\nPlease, I'll do anything. It's so nice\nup here. It's so comfortable up here.\nI don't want to go back there. Please\ndon't send me back there... (She notices\nanother attendant offering goods)\n\nOh, you got *cookies*!\n\nATTENDANT\nYou're going to have to go back to your\nseat!\n\nELAINE\nOk, fine. I'll go back... You know,\nour goal should be a society *without*\n*classes*! (She goes through the curtain\nto,ick, *coach*) Do you realise that\nthe people up here are getting *cookies*!\n\nThe outburst has awoken Jerry and Tia who are sharing a blanket\nand napping (at least, that's what I *think* they're doing under\nthat big, blue blanket...)\n\nJERRY\nWhat is all the racket back there? You\nknow, you're trying to relax on the\nplane and this is what you have to put\nup with.\n\n(To attendant) What is going on?\n\nATTENDANT\nSir, this woman tried to *sneak* into\nfirst class.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you see, that's terrible. The problem\nis, that curtain is no security-- there\nreally should be a locking door.\n\nElectrified, with a moat if possible. They return to snuggling...\n\nKRAMER\nHey! That guy owes me 240 bucks!\n\nNo good. He breaks free and makes a run for it and seemingly\nescapes.\n\nMeanwhile, Jerry is getting ready for deboarding and he glances\nout the window only to see a rather harried Kramer running, arms\nflailing out on the runway. He takes a second look, just to be\nsure.\n\nJERRY\nCouldn't be...\n\nAfter they get off the plane, J+E look for the boys and get their\nbaggage\n\nhow would they know Kramer was there,\ntoo? They didn't get a hold of George\non the phone, or he would've went to\nLaguardia in the first\n\nplace...)\n\nJERRY\nWhere are they already? I don't see\nthem anywhere...\n\nWell, George is being raped in a bathroom and Kramer is still\non the lam somewhere in the airport...\n\nJERRY\nI got my bags, I'm ready to go.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, *you* got *your* bags...\n\nIn Honolulu, Elaine's bag appears to be having a good time, revolving\naround the baggage thingy, complete with lei...\n\nELAINE\nThe worst flight I have been on in my\nentire life.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, me too...\n\nHe seems so sincere. Tia walks by, along with an entourage of\nphotographers.\n\nTIA\nI'll call you.\n\nJERRY\nOkay... (To a bamboozled Elaine) It's\na business thing...\n\nEnter the K-man through the ramp where the baggage comes out--\nyou didn't expect a whole episode to go by without a \"Kramer\nentrance\", did you?\n\nKRAMER\nYou guys ready?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Where's George?\n\nGEORGE\n\nWell, you can't hear him through the window, but he is definitely\nshouting\n\n\"KRAMER!\"\n\nJERRY\nBut I have to admit, I like flying.\nI like those little bathrooms that they\nhave on the plane. It's kind of like\na small apartment of your own on the\nplane. You go in, you close the door,\nthe light comes on. It's like a small\nsurprise party every time you go in\nthere. The worst way of flying, I think\nis \"standby\", you ever fly standby?\nIt never works, you know, that's why\nthey call it standby--\n\nyou stand there going \"Bye!\" So I was on this flight where the\nflight attendant-- it was her first day on the job so they didn't\nhave a uniform for her yet, and that really... makes a big difference,\n\nI mean this is just some regular person coming over to you going\n\"Would you mind bringing your seat back all the way up?\" It's\nlike, \"Who the Hell are you?!\"\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Pick.html", "text": "THE PICK\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nGEORGE\nI loved her Jerry, I loved her.\n\nJERRY\nNo, you didn't.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd she loved me.

But from her angle she\nwas in no position to make the call.\n\nGEORGE\nSo let's say in her mind she witnessed\na pick. Okay, so then what?\n\nJERRY\nIs that so unforgivable? Is that like\nbreaking a commandment? Did God say\nto Moses thou shalt not pick?\n\nGEORGE\nI guarantee you that Moses was a picker.\nYou wander throughh the desert for forty\nyears with that dry air. ... You telling\nme you're not going to have occasion\nto clean house a little bit.\n\nJERRY\nLet me ask you something. If you were\ngoing out with somebody and if she did\nthat what would, would you do?

That's good. You think\nLouie Pasteur and his wife had anything\nin common? He was in the fields all\nday with the cows, you know with the\nmilk, examining the milk, delving into\nmilk, consummed with milk. Pasteurization,\nHomogenization, She was in the kitchen\nkilling cockroaches with a boot on each\nhand.\n\nSUSAN\nWhy were there so many cockroaches?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause.

Gail Cunningham.\n\nJERRY\nDid you talk to her?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I was on my way to the Y, and\nI saw her coming towards me? I didn't\nknow what to do! Because I remembered\nyou had three dates with her and she\nwouldn't kiss you goodnight. So now\nI'm thinking, what is my duty to my\nfriend? Do I acknowledge her? Do I ignore\nher? I mean, what is my responsibility\nhere?\n\nJERRY\nSo what happened?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah, so she sees me and she goes,\n(imitates Gail) \"Oh, hi! Kramer!\" You\nknow? Like nothing happened! Like she\nnever went three dates with you and\nrefused to kiss you goodnight.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I know about the three dates.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know what I did?

(George applauds.) You are some\ngreat friend, I tell ya, snubbed her!\n(seriously) Not that I condone it. I've\nnever condoned snubbing in my administration.\nYour loyalty is beyond question.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.

George, and the butler, and...\n\nELAINE\nYou couldn't \"keep track\" of everybody?\n\nJERRY\nWell, we tried. We couldn't. We didn't\nknow how to, uh...(confessing) ...we\ncouldn't write for a woman. We didn't\nknow what you would say. Even right\nnow, I'm sitting here, I know you're\ngoing to say something, I have no idea\nwhat it is.\n\nELAINE\nYou have no idea?\n\nJERRY\nSomething derogatory? (Gail enters the\ncoffee shop and walks over to the booth.)\n\nGAIL\nI thought I'd find you here.\n\nJERRY\nWell, Gail Cunningham.\n\nELAINE\nHi, Gail.\n\nGAIL\nHi, Elaine. (To Jerry) Hey, what is\nwith your friend Kramer?\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nGAIL\nHe snubbed me.\n\nJERRY\nAre you sure?\n\nGAIL\nYeah, I'm sure. What did you tell him?\n\nJERRY\nNothing.

(Offers Gail the sandwich)\nBite?\n\nGAIL\nSo, how come? Why did Kramer do that?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. Once he leaves the building,\nhe's out of my jurisdiction.\n\nGAIL\nWell, tell him that I am mad at him.\n\nJERRY\nAlright. So, where ya cookin' now?\n\nGAIL\nPfeiffer's.\n\nJERRY\nAh, the power lunch crowd.\n\nGAIL\nNice shoes!\n\nELAINE\nOh. Thank you.\n\nGAIL\nWhere'd you get 'em?\n\nELAINE\nThey're um, Botticelli's.\n\nGAIL\nOoh, Botticelli's! Look at you! I'm\nafraid to go in there.\n\nELAINE\nReally.\n\nJERRY\nWould you care to join us?\n\nGAIL\nNo, no, I gotta get to the restaurant.\n(Looks at her watch.) Oh! See ya. (Exits.)\n\nJERRY\nSee ya.\n\nELAINE\n\"Oh, look at you, the Botticelli's.\"\n\nJERRY\nThat bothered you?\n\nELAINE\nYes, it bothered me. So I bought a pair\nof shoes at Botticelli's, I'm not allowed\nto shop there? That really embarrassed\nme.\n\nJERRY\nIt did?\n\nELAINE\nYes! Couldn't you see that?\n\nJERRY\nNo. This is why you're not in the pilot.\n\nNew scene - George in a session with Dana, his therapist.\n\nDANA\nWell, George, I think you're beginning\nto get some perspective on things. I\nthink we're making progress.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I feel like I've grown.\n\nDANA\nGood. So, let's pick up on this next\nweek.\n\nGEORGE\nGreat. (They both stand.) Oh, by the\nway, did you get a chance to read the\nscript?\n\nDANA\nYes, yes I did.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, what'd you think?\n\nDANA\nUh...it was...good.\n\nGEORGE\nYou didn't like it?\n\nDANA\nWell, no, I -\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe this! What was wrong\nwith it? What didn't you like about\nit?\n\nDANA\nIt wasn't funny.\n\nGEORGE\nIt wasn't funny? What, are you kidding?\n\nDANA\nNo, I didn't find it funny.\n\nGEORGE\nYou didn't find it funny?! This is what\nI'm paying for?\n\nDANA\nWell, that whole storyline about a guy\nwho gets into a car accident, doesn't\nhave any insurance, so the judge sentences\nhim to be a butler? I didn't really\nbuy that.\n\nGEORGE\nLet me tell you who did, uh, buy it...we\npitched this story to Russell Dalrymple,\nthe president of NBC, and he ate it\nup with a spoon.\n\nDANA\nGeorge, if you're going to be in a creative\nfield, you're going to have to learn\nhow to deal with criticism.\n\nGEORGE\nHow's this for criticism? Um...you stink.\nHow do like that criticism? You know\nwhat's funny to me? That diploma up\non the wall. That is my idea of \"com-med-dee\"!\nYou sitting here, telling people what\nto do.\n\nDANA\nI think you'd better go.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I'm goin' baby. I'm goin.' (Heads\nfor the door, then stops.) It's Jerry's\nfault. He took out all my good lines.\nHe's such a control freak!\n\nNew scene - Jerry and George in Jerry's apartment. They're both\nstanding by the door. Elaine enters.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, you send me to this therapist to\nhelp me with my emotional disorders,\nand she criticizes our script. (Tosses\nthe script to Jerry.) What kind of a\ntherapist is that?\n\nELAINE\nI guess she didn't think it was funny.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, she didn't think it was funny. What\nis she, Rowan & Martin? We're supposed\nto meet with NBC tomorrow! She completely\nshattered my confidence. And I'm paying\nfor this, she's my employee!\n\nJERRY\nI thought your mother's paying for it.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd she slaves to earn every penny.\nSo that someday, I might be able to\nwalk up to a woman and say, \"Yes, I'm\nbald, but I'm still a good person.\"\n\nJERRY\nYou know, he's right. It's not her place\nto criticize the script, which reminds\nme - what did you think of it? You never\ntold me.\n\nELAINE\nWhat did I think of it? (Manufactures\na cough instead of answering. Kramer\nenters.)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, buddy, I got something to tell\nya. (Elaine runs towards to the bathroom\nin lieu of answering Jerry's question.)\n\nJERRY\nHey, one second, you don't get off that\neasy. C'mon, tell me what you thought.\n\nELAINE\nWell, you know, I...\n\nKRAMER\nI just kissed Gail Cunningham. (Jerry\nturns and looks at Kramer, shocked.\nElaine grins and heads to the bathroom.)\n\nJERRY\nYou what?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I kissed her.\n\nJERRY\nYou kissed her?\n\nKRAMER\nRight on the mouth.\n\nJERRY\nWhat kinda great friend are you? How\ndo you go from snubbing to kissing?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I saw her outside the Y, you know,\nshe came up to me, she started yelling\nbecause I snubbed her, and then we started\ntalking a little bit, and I walked her\nto her building. And just before I left,\nI put my arm around her waist, I pulled\nher to me, and I - mmm - I planted one!\n(Laughs.)\n\nJERRY\nAnd what did she do?\n\nKRAMER\nShe kissed me back.\n\nJERRY\nI don't get this. I go out with this\ngirl three times, she doesn't want to\nshake my hand - why's she kissing you?\n\nKRAMER\nBecause I snubbed her. You see? Women,\nthey like that! Yes! I understand women.\nThe snub is good, they love the snub!\n\nGEORGE\nNo they don't. I tried that once. I\nsnubbed for a year. Nothing. Every woman\nI saw, I snubbed. You never saw people\nso pleased. (Elaine returns from the\nbathroom.)\n\nKRAMER\nOoh, so...I understand you're buying\nnew shoes now at Botticelli's.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Who told you that?\n\nKRAMER\nGail Cunningham.\n\nELAINE\nI don't understand, why is this woman\ntalking about my shoes? Why are my shoes\na topic of conversation?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you know, we were just talking,\nand she mentioned how you're buying\nyour shoes now at Botticelli's.\n\nELAINE\n\"How I'm buying my shoes now at Botticelli's!\"\nDid you hear this? (Shoves Jerry and\nKramer.)\n\nJERRY\nSo what?\n\nELAINE\nSo what?! She is talking about my shoes!\nShe is discussing my shoes! It is nobody's\nbusiness where I buy my shoes! (Storms\nover to the couch and angrily sits down.\nJerry, Kramer and George look at Elaine\nfrom the kitchen, comically puzzled\nby her outburst...)\n\nNew scene - Gail cooking in the kitchen at Pfeiffer's Restaurant.\nElaine marches in.\n\nELAINE\nHey! Gail!\n\nGAIL\nElaine...!\n\nELAINE\nWhy are you talking about my shoes?\n\nGAIL\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nMy Botticelli shoes. You've been talking\nabout my Botticelli shoes.\n\nGAIL\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nELAINE\nDid you or did you not tell Kramer that\nI got my shoes at Botticelli's? (A waiter\ncomes over and puts a plate of food\non Gail's cutting board.)\n\nWAITER\nToo spicy. He wants another one. You\ngot that pasta primavera?\n\nGAIL\nLook Elaine, I am very busy here.\n\nELAINE\nWho else have you mentioned my shoes\nto, huh? I wanna know why my footwear\nis your conversation!\n\nGAIL\nI am not discussing this. This is insane.\n\nWAITER\nYou got that pasta primavera? Let's\ngo! (Gail passes the plate to the waiter\nin front of Elaine. Elaine sneezes on\nit. The waiter brings the pasta to the\ndining room and serves it to Russell\nDalrymple, the president of NBC.) Here\nyou are, Mr. Dalrymple.\n\nRUSSELL\nThank you.\n\nWAITER\nSorry for the delay. Enjoy your lunch.\n\nNew scene - Jerry and George arrive at Dalrymple's apartment\nto discuss the script.\n\nRUSSELL\nWell, come in. (They shake hands.) Awfully\nsorry to make you come up here, but\nI really wasn't feeling well enough\nto go back to the office, and well,\nit's the only chance I have to meet\nwith you this week.\n\nJERRY\nAre you alright?\n\nRUSSELL\nWell, it's my stomach. I think there\nmust have been something in the pasta\nprimavera I had for lunch.\n\nJERRY\nWhere did you eat?\n\nRUSSELL\nPfeiffer's.\n\nJERRY\nAh. I know the chef there.\n\nRUSSELL\nYeah. The food's usually terrific.\n\nGEORGE\nMy cousin worked for Bouchard's. They\nused to use the bouilla-base for a toilet.\n(Jerry and Russell are shocked.)\n\nRUSSELL\nWhat are you saying?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you didn't hear it from me, but\nneedless to say, if you go in there\n- stick with the consumee.\n\nRUSSELL\nWell, we'd better get started, my daughter's\ngoing to be here soon.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you have a daughter?\n\nRUSSELL\nYeah, she just turned fifteen last week.\n\nGEORGE\nAw, that's a fun age. (Jerry looks at\nGeorge distastefully.)\n\nRUSSELL\nAlright. The script. Now, I've read\nthis thing three times...and everytime\nI read it...(looks nauseous, struggles\nnot to vomit.)\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nRUSSELL\nExcuse me for a second. (Gets up and\nruns to the bathroom.)\n\nGEORGE\nWould you like a Pepto-Bismol? I keep\nthem in my wallet...! (Russell goes\ninto the bathroom and shuts the door.)\n(To Jerry) Do you think he liked it?\n(From the bathroom, we hear Russell\nviolently heaving his guts.)\n\nJERRY\nI'm not sure. (The sounds of Russell\nvomiting emanate from the bathroom.\nJerry and George sit there uncomfortably.)\nWhat was that dish he said he had...?\n\nGEORGE\nPasta primavera.\n\nJERRY\nAh. You know, 'primavera' is Italian\nfor 'spring.'\n\nGEORGE\nNo!\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nRUSSELL\nReally, I'm terribly sorry, it just,\nuh...all of a sudden it just hit me.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, you were saying how, um...about\nthe script...\n\nRUSSELL\nRight. The script. Your script needs\nsome...it needs, um...(looks nauseous\nagain. Gets up and runs to the bathroom\na second time.)\n\nGEORGE\nMore jokes?\n\nJERRY\nAnother ending?\n\nGEORGE\nA different name for the butler? (Russell\nthrows up again.)\n\nJERRY\nMaybe we should go.\n\nGEORGE\nWe haven't heard his notes yet, we don't\nknow how he feels about our work. (Russell\nthrows up yet again.)\n\nRUSSELL\nOh God. Oh my god.\n\nJERRY\nI can't listen to anymore of this, the\nguy's losing a lung in there. (Russell's\ndaughter Molly enters.)\n\nMOLLY\nHello.\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\nGEORGE\nHi.\n\nMOLLY\nI'm Molly.\n\nJERRY\nI'm Jerry.\n\nGEORGE\nGeorge.\n\nJERRY\nWe're here discussing our script with\nyour father.\n\nGEORGE\nHe just read it. (Russell vomits again.\nJerry and George look ashamed.)\n\nMOLLY\nDaddy? Are you okay?\n\nRUSSELL\nYeah, sweetie. I'm fine. (Molly sits\non the back of the chair.)\n\nGEORGE\nSo, you live with your mother, huh?\n\nMOLLY\nUh, yeah.\n\nGEORGE\nDivorce is very difficult. Especially\non a kid. Of course, I'm the result\nof my parents having stayed together,\nso you never know. (Russell comes out\nof the bathroom.)\n\nMOLLY\nDaddy, are you alright? What's the matter?\n\nRUSSELL\nIt's just a stomach thing.\n\nMOLLY\nYuck.\n\nRUSSELL\nWe're going to have to do this some\nother time, so if you'll give me your\nnumber, I'll call you later. (Jerry\nand George nod. Molly takes her jacket\noff.)\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, suddenly I'm in the mood for\npasta primavera myself. (Jerry nudges\nGeorge to sneak a peek at Molly's cleavage\nas she bends over and looks in her backpack.\nJerry has a quick look, but George stares,\nhypnotized. Russell comes up behind\nGeorge.)\n\nRUSSELL\nGet a good look, Costanza?\n\nNew scene - Jerry and George in Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nWhat were you doing?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's not my fault. You poked me!\n\nJERRY\nYou're supposed to just take a peek\nafter a poke. You were like you just\nput a quarter into one of those big\nmetal things on top of the Empire State\nBuilding.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's cleavage. I couldn't look away.\nWhat am I, waiting to win an Oscar here?\nThis is all I have in my life.\n\nJERRY\nLooking at cleavage is like looking\nat the sun, you don't stare at it. It's\ntoo risky. You get a sense of it and\nthen you look away.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right. So, he caught me in a cleavage\npeek, so big deal. Who wouldn't look\nat his daughter's cleavage? She's got\nnice cleavage.\n\nJERRY\nThat's why I poked.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's why I peeked. (Jerry opens the\ndoor to take some trash out, and meets\nKramer and Gail in the hallway.)\n\nGAIL\nHey! What is with your friend Elaine?\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGAIL\nShe comes to my restaurant, comes right\nin my kitchen, and starts complaining\nthat I'm talking about her shoes.\n\nKRAMER\nRight in the kitchen. Disgraceful.\n\nGAIL\nI don't want people coming into my kitchen.\nI think she might have sneezed all over\nsomeone's pasta primavera. Someone might\nhave gotten sick because of her. (Kramer\nand Gail exit.)\n\nGEORGE\nPasta primavera?\n\nJERRY\nIs that what she said? (Kramer pokes\nhis head back in the door.)\n\nKRAMER\nShe's somethin', huh? She's a wild one.\nShe's wearin' me out.\n\nJERRY\nShe is?\n\nKRAMER\nShe's sensual. You know, with the...cooking\nand all. (Kramer grins happily at Jerry\nand leaves. The phone rings. Jerry tosses\nthe trashbag to George.)\n\nJERRY\nHello? Oh, hi Stu.\n\nGEORGE\nFrom NBC?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. What's goin' on? What? Really?\nOh my god....did he give you a reason?...Oh\nboy. Okay. Alright. Thanks. (hangs up.)\nDalrymple just cancelled the pilot.\n(George drops the bag, shocked.)\n\nCommercial break.\n\nNew scene - Jerry, George and Elaine in Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nIf you hadn't gone into her restaurant,\nthis never would have happened.\n\nELAINE\nLook, I don't like people talking about\nmy shoes behind my back, okay? My shoes\nare my business. The two of you shouldn't\nhave been looking at some fifteen year-old's\ncleavage anyway!\n\nGEORGE\nHe poked me!\n\nJERRY\nThere was cleavage in the area. That's\na reflex - (mimics nudging someone with\nan elbow) - cleavage-poke, cleavage-poke...\n\nELAINE\nBut she was fifteen.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't consider age in the face of\ncleavage. This occurs on a molecular\nlevel, you can't control it! We're like\nsome kind of weird fish where the eyes\noperate independently of the head.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, what's the difference. What\nare we gonna do now? He won't take our\ncalls, we can't get into his office...\n\nJERRY\nYou know what we could do? He eats at\nthat restaurant, Pfeiffer's? We could\nhave Gail call us, tell us the next\ntime he's there, go there and talk to\nhim.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, now you're onto something.\n\nJERRY\nThe whole thing is so stupid. Like he\nwouldn't do the same thing if Elaine\nwalked by in a low-cut dress.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Well, maybe not Elaine, but...somebody\nlike Gail, though.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? What do you mean, Gail? (Kramer\nenters.)\n\nKRAMER\nYah-hey.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, listen, I want you to ask Gail\nto do me a favor. The next time Russell\nDalrymple comes in the restaurant, ask\nher if she would call me.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, I'll call her right now. (Kramer\ngoes back to his apartment.)\n\nELAINE\nWhat do you mean, Gail? You don't think\nI can attract attention? You don't think\nI can put asses in the seats?\n\nJERRY\nLook, sweetheart, you know you've got\nit all. But let's face it... (Kramer\ncomes back.)\n\nKRAMER\nShe said she'll do it.\n\nJERRY\nBeautiful.\n\nKRAMER\nBut she wants the shoes.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nShe says she wants those shoes.\n\nELAINE\nShe wants my shoes? What kind of person\nis this? Alright! She is not getting\n'em!\n\nJERRY\nNo, come on! I'll buy you another pair!\n\nELAINE\nNo, these were the last pair of these\nthat they had!\n\nJERRY\nI'll get you another one just like it!\n\nELAINE\nNo, but these were the only really cool\nones like this! Don't you see how everybody\nlikes 'em and how everybody talks about\n'em? (Jerry, realizing Elaine's motivation,\nsits at the counter unbelievingly.)\n\nGEORGE\nElaine, this pilot...it doesn't matter\nto me, it's not me I'm concerned about...it's\nmy mother. I've been over to the hospital\nto see her...\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah, because she caught you jer\n-\n\nGEORGE\nNever mind!\n\nELAINE\nOh, come on, wait a second, this whole\nthing is ridiculous. How do I even know\nshe wears the same size?\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, what size are you?\n\nELAINE\nSeven-and-a-half.\n\nKRAMER\nEh! Bingo.\n\nNew scene - Gail in the kitchen at Pfeiffer's. She notices Dalrymple\nbeing shown to his table.\n\nGAIL\nSauce this. (Goes to the telephone and\ndials.) Yeah, he's here. Oh, and one\nmore thing...bring the shoes. (Hangs\nup.)\n\nContinuation of last scene - Russell eating at the restaurant.\nJerry and George arrive. Jerry hands the shoes to Gail, and they\nwalk over to Russell's table.\n\nJERRY\nHey! Whattaya know!\n\nGEORGE\nLook who's here!\n\nJERRY\nFancy meeting you here!\n\nRUSSELL\nOh. Hello.\n\nGEORGE\nPasta primavera! Back on the horse.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, it's a funny thing, because\nafter the pilot got cancelled, we hadn't\nheard from you.\n\nGEORGE\nDidn't hear anything...\n\nJERRY\nDidn't know...we were wondering...what\nhappened.\n\nRUSSELL\nIt just didn't seem to be the right\nproject for us right now. (Elaine walks\nby in a low-cut dress. Jerry and George\nlook at her as she moves to the table\nopposite Russell.) So, what were you\nsaying?\n\nGEORGE\nOh...uh, because if it had anything\nat all to do with what you perceived\nas me leering at your daughter, I really\nhave to take issue with that. I did\nnot leer. (To Jerry) Did I leer?\n\nJERRY\nNo leer. (Elaine comes over to Russell's\ntable.)\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me, are you using that ketchup?\n\nRUSSELL\nUh, no. (Elaine takes the ketchup and\ngoes back to her table.)\n\nGEORGE\nBecause, if I'm looking straight ahead,\nand something enters my field of vision,\nthat's merely a happenstance. (Elaine\nloudly snaps and unfolds her napkin\nat the next table to get Russell's attention.)\n\nRUSSELL\nUnder the circumstances, I don't really\nfeel that we should be in business together.\n(Elaine comes back over.)\n\nELAINE\nHere's your ketchup back. You know,\nI had the hardest time trying to get\nsome out. I mean, I just kept pounding\nand pounding on the bottom of it. Do\nyou have any trouble?\n\nRUSSELL\nNo.\n\nELAINE\nDo you have a...ketchup secret?\n\nRUSSELL\nNo, I... (finally notices Elaine)...don't\nhave a ketchup secret. (Smiles.)\n\nELAINE\nBecause if you do have a ketchup secret,\nI would really, really like to know\nwhat it is. (Russell is pleased, and\nsmiles at Elaine.

There's no luck. 1\n900 dollars down the drain.\n\nROY\nYou saved my life, George. You buying\nmy art is what inspired me\n\nto get better. I'll never forget what you did for me.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, that's great. That's great.\n\nKRAMER\nY'know, art is a great investment.\n\nELAINE\nIt's gonna look great in your apartment,\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\nYes I look forward to many years of\nlooking at the triangles.\n\nWell, I'll wait for you outside.\n\nROY\nHey, George... (kiss)\n\nDOCTOR\nY'know I don't want to totally discount\nthe emotional element in\n\nyour recovery, but I think there were other factors at play here.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean?\n\nDOCTOR\nI have no medical evidence to back me\nup, but something happened\n\nduring the operation that staved off that infection. Something\n\nbeyond science. Something perhaps from above...\n\nKRAMER\nMint?\n\nDOCTOR\nThose can be very refreshing.\n\nROY\nSo Elaine... Where are we going for\nour big dinner on Friday?\n\nELAINE\nI'm so sorry Roy, but actually, we're\ngoing to the Poconos on\n\nFriday, right honey?

In fact, I\n\nwent to the car wash, they want 250 dollars to detail it, and\nget\n\nthe smell out. I'm not payin' for that. That's not my\n\nresponsibility. In fact, I'm drivin' up to that restaurant now,\n\nand *demand* they pay for it.\n\nELAINE\nAbsolutely.\n\nELAINE\nListen, lemme ask you something. When\nyou're with a guy, and he\n\ntells you he has to get up early, what does that mean?\n\nJERRY\nIt means he's lying.\n\nELAINE\nWow...\n\nJERRY\nWhy?

That's why Carl\n\nsaid he had to get up early! Because I stink! Jerry, he thinks\nI\n\nhave B.O.! Me!\n\nKRAMER\nWhat happened?\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened? My car *stinks* is what\nhappened. And it's\n\ndestroying the lives of everyone in it's path.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat is that? B.O.?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is *unbelievable* B.O.\n\nJERRY\nI know... I was at the car wash this\nmorning and the guy told me\n\nin his 38 years in the business, he's never smelled anything\nlike\n\nit.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, let me ask you. Do you think I could\nhave done this?\n\nJERRY\nNo, no. It's the valet guy.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no, I mean, driving Susan to lesbianism.\n\nJERRY\nOh... No, that's ridiculous.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat if her experience with me *drove*\nher to it?\n\nJERRY\nSuicide, maybe, not lesbianism.\n\nGEORGE\nThe woman she's \"lesbianing\" with? Susan\ntold me she's *never*\n\nbeen with a guy.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, this isn't even B.O.! This is *beyond*\nB.O.! It's *B*.B.O.!\n\nJERRY\nThere should be a B.O. squad that patrols\nthe city like a \"Smell\n\nGestapo\". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with\na\n\nbig, soapy brush...\n\nGEORGE\nY'know, the funny thing is, somehow\nI find her more appealing\n\nnow... It's like if I knew she was a lesbian when we went out,\nI\n\nnever would've broken up with her.\n\nJERRY\nLemme see if I understand this... On\nsecond thought...\n\nJERRY\nHere he is... that's the guy! (rolls\nup window)\n\nNo, thank you, go back... go back... I'll park it! You go back!\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nWhat do you mean-- \"stunk up\"?\n\nJERRY\nI mean the car *stinks*! George, does\nthe car stink?\n\nGEORGE\nStinks.\n\nJERRY\nStinks!\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nWell, perhaps *you're* the one who has\nthe odour...\n\nJERRY\nHey, I've never smelled in my *life*,\nbuddy!\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nReally? Well, I smell you now.\n\nJERRY\nThat's from the car!\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nWell, maybe *you're* the one who stunk\nup the car, rather\n\nthan the car stinking up you!\n\nGEORGE\nOh, it's the chicken and the egg...\n\nJERRY\nThank you very much... Well, then go\nout and smell the car;\n\nsee which smells worse.\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nI don't have time to smell cars.\n\nGEORGE\nForget about smelling the car. Smell\nthe valet. Go to the\n\nsource...\n\nJERRY\nYou've gotta smell the car\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nI'm a busy man\n\nJERRY\nC'mon! One whiff!\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nAlright, one whiff...\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nAlright! I give up!

I'll give you 50 dollars!\n\nRESTAURATEUR\nI'm not paying for *that*. They've already\ngot my seven\n\ndollars...

THE \"O\" WENT FROM\nTHE\n\nvalet's \"B\", to the car, to me. It clings to everything. Jerry\n\nthinks it's an entity.

Is that what\nyou wanted to talk to me\n\nabout? (Gives him the $35) Here.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, thanks. Thanks a lot. I'll pay you\nback.\n\nSUSAN\nYeah, *sure*... I gotta go.\n\nGEORGE\nListen. Let me ask you something. If\nyou and Mona were ever\n\nto... dance, how do you decide who leads? I mean... do you take\n\nturns? Do you discuss it beforehand? How does that work?\n\nSUSAN\nYou're an idiot.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy? That's a *legitimate* sociological\nquestion.\n\nSUSAN\nI'll see ya. And George, by the way...\nYou stink... Real bad.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's not me! It's the car!\n\nMONA\nI didn't think I'd come.\n\nKRAMER\nI knew you would.\n\nMONA\nOh, Kramer!\n\nCAR WASHER\nWe spray everything with Ozium-D, let\nit de-ionise, vacuum the\n\nspray out with a de-ionising machine. Hit it with high-pressure\n\ncompressed air, and wet-dry vac it to extract the remaining\n\nliquids. We top it off with one of our seven air-fresheners,\nin\n\nyour case, I would recommend the Jasmine, or the Potpourri.\n\nJERRY\nLet's do it.\n\nHAIRDRESSER\nThe first thing we're gonna do is flush\nthe follicles with the\n\nfive essential oils. Then, we put you under a vapour machine,\n\nand then a heated cap. Then, we shampoo and shampoo and\n\ncondition and condition. Then, we saturate the hair in diluted\n\nvinegar-- two parts vinegar, 10 parts water. Now, if that\n\ndoesn't work, we have one last resort. Tomato sauce.\n\nELAINE\nTomato Sauce?\n\nJERRY\nWait a minute! It still smells! It still\nsmells!\n\nCARL\nIt still smells.\n\nJERRY\nIt still smells!\n\nGEORGE\nHow could it still smell after all that?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know!\n\nGEORGE\nWell, what are you gonna do?\n\nJERRY\nI'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm\nselling that car!\n\nGEORGE\nYou're *selling* the car!?\n\nJERRY\nYou don't understand what I'm up against.\nThis is a force more\n\npowerful than anything you can imagine. Even *Superman* would\nbe\n\nhelpless against this kind of stench. And I'll take anything\nI can\n\nget for it.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe I'll buy it.\n\nJERRY\nAre you crazy? Don't you understand\nwhat I'm saying to you? This\n\nis not just an odour-- you need a *priest* to get rid of this\nthing!\n\nELAINE\nI still smell!\n\nJERRY\nYou see! You see what I'm saying to\nyou? It's a presence! It's\n\nthe beast!\n\nSUSAN\nKramer! Kramer! Kramer, open up, I know\nyou're in there!\n\nJERRY\nSusan!\n\nSUSAN\nKramer!\n\nJERRY\nWhat is going on?\n\nSUSAN\nYou know what's going on? First, he\nvomits on me.

I drive them to lesbianism,\nhe brings 'em back.\n\nJERRY\nThat's the *least* of what you've accomplished...\n\nELAINE\nWait a minute, wait a minute. Kramer,\nKramer... Hold on a second.\n\nI don't get this. This woman has *never* been with a man her\n\n*entire* life--\n\nKRAMER\nI'm Kramer.\n\nGEORGE\nI know what you're going through.

I don't have it on me. Allison,\nthis is Susan.

I was with her\nlast night in my apartment;\n\nit was very romantic. Y'know with that fake wood wallpaper, the\n\natmosphere is *fabulous* in there, now. It's like a ski lodge.\n\nSALESMAN\nWhat year did you say this was?\n\nJERRY\n'90.\n\nKRAMER\nAnyway, we were on the couch, I move\nto hug her, next thing she\n\ntells me she's leaving; she's got to get up early.\n\nJERRY\nThat's strange...\n\nSALESMAN\nHow many miles you got on this thing?\n\nJERRY\n23 000.\n\nKRAMER\nAnd I was looking good, too. I had a\nnice, new shirt on, I'm\n\nwearing *your* jacket...\n\nJERRY\nWait a second... My jacket! I wore that\nin the car! The Beast!\n\nSALESMAN\nI can't sell this car.\n\nJERRY: THIS... THING... HAS GOT TO BE STOPPED!\n\nHAIRDRESSER\nSo, what do you want to do?\n\nELAINE\nSauce me.\n\nJERRY\nWhy do we need B.O.? What is the function\nof it? Everything in\n\nnature has a reason, has a purpose, except B.O. Doesn't make\nany\n\nsense-- do something good, hard work, exercise, smell very bad.\n\nThis is the way the human being is designed. You move, you stink.\n\nWhy can't our bodies help us? Why can't sweat smell good? It'd\nbe\n\na different world, wouldn't it? Instead of putting your laundry\nin\n\nthe hamper, you'd put it in a vase. You'd go down to the drugstore\n\nand pick up some odourant and perspirant. You'd probably have\na\n\ndirty sweat sock hanging from the rear-view mirror of your car.\n\nAnd then on a really special night, maybe a little underwear\ncomin'\n\nout of your breast pocket. Just to let her know she's important.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Handicap-Spot.html", "text": "THE HANDICAP SPOT\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David\n\n(At the comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nI have a friend who is about to get\nmarried, they're having the bachelor\nparty and the\n\nbridal shower on the same day...

Got to the finish\nline, just kept going. She's got the\ndogs with her in the hotel room.\n\nELAINE\nListen, was Russell at the casting?\n\nJERRY\nNo, he didn't show up.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, I'm a little bit worried about\nhim. I don't understand. We had one\ndate two months ago. Am I that charming\nand beautiful?\n\nJERRY\nNo. No you're not.\n\nELAINE\nWhy do I keep setting you up?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know.\n\nELAINE\n(to the waitress) Could we get a little\nmore? (she doesn't listen and walks\naway) Aghh... You know ever since this\nnew owner took over, the service here\nis *really* slow.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Have you noticed anything else\nthat's different since the new management?\n\nELAINE\nMmm. They're putting a little lemon\nin the tuna. I love that.\n\nJERRY\nBeside that. Look at the waitresses.\n\nELAINE\nYeah? (we see that all the waitresses\nhave big breasts)\n\nJERRY\nWhat physical characteristic would you\nsay is common to all of them?\n\nELAINE\nAh...\n\nJERRY\nI mean look at this. Every waitress\nworking here has the same proportions.\nWouldn't you say?\n\nELAINE\nYes, I would say.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's going on here. How is that possible?\n\nELAINE\nDo you think it's a coincidence?\n\nJERRY\nNo. I haven't seen four women like this\ntogether outside of a Russ Meyer film.\n\n(the waitress finally came with the coffee)\n\nELAINE\n(to the waitress) Hi. Excuse me. Who\ndoes all the hiring waitresses here?\n\nWAITRESS\nHe does. (pointing to the manager, Mr.\nVisaki) In fact we're looking for another\ngirl if you know anyone. (she walks\naway)\n\nELAINE\nYou know what? That's discriminatory.\nThat is unfair. Why should these women\nhave all the advantages? It's not enough\nthey get all the attention from men,\nthey have to get all the waitress jobs,\ntoo?\n\nJERRY\nHey that's life. Good-looking men have\nthe same advantages. You don't see any\nhandsome homeless.\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(doctor's clinic)\n\nGEORGE\nYou see, It's right here. It's all white...\n\nDOCTOR\nOh yeah. Yeah. I've never seen this\nbefore.\n\nGEORGE\nYou've never seen this before?\n\nDOCTOR\nI'm gonna have to take a biopsy on that.\n(George grabs the doctor's arm)\n\nGEORGE\n(dramatically) A what?\n\nDOCTOR\nA biopsy.\n\nGEORGE\nA biopsy?\n\nDOCTOR\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nCancer?

So?\n\nGEORGE\nWhen I asked him if it was cancer, he\ndidn't give me a \"get outta here\". That's\nwhat I wanted to hear: \"Cancer? Get\noutta here?\"\n\nJERRY\nWell, maybe he doesn't have a \"get outta\nhere\" kind of personality.\n\nGEORGE\nHow could you be a doctor and not say\n\"get outta here\"? It should be part\nof the training at medical school: \"Cancer?\nGet outta here!\" \"Go home! What are\nyou crazy? It's a little test. It's\nnothing. You're a real nut. You know\nthat?\" (Jerry gives him half of his\nsandwich to hopefully shut him up) I\ntold you that God would never let me\nbe successful. I never should've written\nthat pilot. Now the show will be a big\nhit, we'll make millions of dollars,\nand I'll be dead. Dead Jerry. Because\nof this. (showing his lip)\n\nJERRY\nCan't you at least die with a little\ndignity?\n\nGEORGE\nNo I can't. I can't die with dignity.\nI have no dignity. I want to be the\none person who doesn't die with dignity.\nI live my whole life in shame. Why should\nI die with dignity?\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nJERRY\nHey. What happened to you yesterday?\n\nKRAMER\nI got mugged.\n\nGEORGE\nYou got mugged?\n\nJERRY\nMugged?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I wouldn't have minded it so much\nbut I was running home to go to the\nbathroom.\n\nJERRY\nWhy didn't you use the bathroom in the\nbuilding?\n\nKRAMER\nIt was full.

And the\nfirst time I laid my I on brassieres\nI was enthralled.\n\nFARKUS\nHum. tell me about it.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I was 14 years old. I was in my\nfriends bathroom.

I didn't know what way or what\nlevel, but I knew: I wanted to be around\nbrassieres.\n\nFARKUS\nThat's incredible story. You have a\nremarkable passion for brassieres.\n\nGEORGE\nThey are more than an underwear to me\nMr.Farkus. Two cups in the front, two\nloops in the back.

I never ever\nthrow things at them and try to injure\nthem like other people.\n\nJERRY\nThat's nice.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, and when I see freaks in the street\nI never, ever stare at them. Yet, I'm\ncareful not to look away, you know,\nbecause I want to make the freaks feel\ncomfortable.\n\nJERRY\nThat's nice for the freaks.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, and I don't poof up my hair when\nI got to a movie so people behind me\ncan see. I've got to make it up to this\nguy or I won't be able to live with\nmyself. What can I do?\n\nJERRY\nWhy don't you get him some tickets or\nsomething, how about that friend of\nyours that works at the ticket area.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah yeah Pete, he can get you great\ntickets to something. Like a rock concert.\nWhatever you like.\n\nELAINE\nOh, thanks Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got it. Hey Jerry, do me a favor.\nThe next time you see that lineswoman\nask her how those ball boys get those\njobs. I would love to be able to do\nthat.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I think perhaps you've overlooked\none of the key aspects of this activity.\nIt's ball *boys*, not ball men. There\nare no ball men.\n\nELAINE\nYeah I think he's right. I've never\nseen a ball man.\n\nKRAMER\nWell there ought to be ball men.\n\nJERRY\nAll right I'll talk to her.

Something must\nhave happened.\n\nGWEN\nIt's not you, it's me.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're giving me the \"it's not you,\nit's me\" routine? I invented \"it's not\nyou, it's me\".

Well aparently word's out.\n\nKramer enters.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, George, I saw you on TV yesterday.\n\nGEORGE\nReally?

What were they saying?\n\nKRAMER\nThat you had ice cream all over your\nface. They were talking about how funny\nyou looked.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe Gwen saw it. Maybe that's what\ndid it.\n\nKRAMER\nWell I'll tell you it wasn't a pretty\nsight.\n\nGEORGE\nShe must have seen me eating it on TV.\n\nJERRY\nSo she sees you with hot fudge on your\nface and she ends it?

If she's that superficial\nyou don't want her.\n\nGEORGE\nYes I do.\n\nELAINE\nSo I guess you're not going to Todd's\nparty on Friday.\n\nGEORGE\nWell I can't now, Gwen's going to be\nthere.\n\nKRAMER\nWell she should be the one that shouldn't\ngo.\n\nJERRY\nWell if a couple breaks up and have\nplans to go to a neutral place, who\nwithdraws? What's the ettiquite?\n\nKRAMER\nExcellent question.\n\nJERRY\nI think she should withdraw. She's the\nbreaker, he's the breakee. He needs\nto get on with his life.\n\nELAINE\nI beg to differ.\n\nJERRY\nReally.\n\nELAINE\nHe's the *loser*. She's the victor.\nTo the victor belong the spoils.\n\nJERRY\nWell I don't care, I don't want to go\nanyway.

Wouldn't want to tag along\nwith you or anything.\n\nJERRY\nOh, uh, do you want to come with us?\n\nGEORGE\nJerry please, that's very nice, but,\nuh, (closes the door) where would we\nbe going?\n\nAt a Chinese restaurant.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, I've got ice cream all over my face.\nThere were no napkins there. Whoever\nit was that's responsible for stocking\nthat concession stand cost me a relationship.\n\nLAURA\nThey never have napkins there.\n\nJERRY\nLet's get the check.

Where you\nhire her out for weddings and bar mitzvas.\n\nGEORGE\n(Puts his hands on his face, rubbing\nhis eyes) Look. It's a skill, just like\njuggling. She probably enjoys showing\nit off.\n\nJERRY\n(Puts his napkin over his mouth) I don't\nknow George. I'm not sure about this.\n\nGEORGE\n(Puts his arms in the air, stretching,\nand covers his mouth with an arm) Could\nyou ask her, just ask her. If she says\nno, case closed.\n\nJERRY\n(Puts his hand on his chin over his\nmouth) All right.\n\nJERRY\nUh Laura, George was wondering if...\n\nLAURA\nSure. I'll do it.\n\nAfter the restaurant. Jerry at Laura's place.\n\nJERRY\nSo I really had a good time.\n\nLAURA\nYeah, me too.\n\nJERRY\nSo you want to go to the party on Friday\nnight?\n\nLAURA\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, we're taking a car service.\nSo we'll swing by and pick you up. How\nabout six? (Laura looks offended). Six\nis good. (Laura looks offended and angry).\nYou got a problem with six? (Laura opens\nthe door and gets out). What? What?\n\n(Commercial)\n\nAt the tennis court.\n\nMAN\nOkay listen up people. There are plenty\nof you here, but we've only got two\nspots to fill. Good luck.\n\nBOY\nHey pops, isn't there a better way to\nspend your twilight years?\n\nKRAMER\nI may be old, but I'm spry.\n\nBOY\nThe tryout lasts three and a half to\nfour hours. Are you up for it?\n\nKRAMER\nOh I'll be up for it punk.\n\nKramer fetches some balls, and he is doing some pretty fancy\nfootwork.\n\nAt Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nSee I was saying \"six\" but she thought\nI was saying \"sex\". We straightened\nthe whole thing out though.\n\nGEORGE\nShe confused \"six\" with \"sex\"?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWell if she can't tell \"six\" from \"sex\"\nthen how is she going to lip read from\nacross the room?\n\nJERRY\nWell \"six\" and \"sex\" are close.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's two completely different sounds.\n\"ih\" and \"eh\".\n\nJERRY\nEh.\n\nGEORGE\nIt seems like a problem.\n\nJERRY\nWell I'm not dating any other deaf women.\n\nKramer enters.\n\nKRAMER\nHey guess who's going to be the new\nball man for the finals.\n\nJERRY\nYou're kidding.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. They said they haven't seen anybody\ngo after balls with such gusto.\n\nGEORGE\nWhen is that car service comming?\n\nJERRY\nIn five minutes. He's then going to\npick us up, then we're going to pick\nup Elaine, and Laura is going to meet\nus there.\n\nGEORGE\nIf this lip reading thing works tonight\ndo you know how incredible this is going\nto be? It's like having Superman for\nyour friend.\n\nJERRY\nI know. It's like X-ray vision.\n\nGEORGE\nIf we could just harness this power\nand use it for our own personal gain,\nthere'd be no stopping us.\n\nNewman enters.\n\nNEWMAN\nI hear you've got some lip reader working\nfor you. You gotta let me use her for\none day. Just one day.\n\nJERRY\nCan't do it Newman.\n\nNEWMAN\nBut Jerry, we've got this new supervisor\ndown at the post office. He's working\nbehind this glass. I know they're talking\nabout me. They're going to transfer\nme, I know it. Two hours, give me two\nhours.\n\nJERRY\nNot going to happen.\n\nNEWMAN\n(Sinister) All right, all right. All\nright you go ahead. You go ahead and\nkeep it secret. But you remember this.\nWhen you control the mail, you control...\ninformation.\n\nIn the car service car.\n\nJERRY\nOh just pull over right there by the\nstop sign.\n\nDRIVER\nPardon me sir?\n\nJERRY\nI said pull over by the stop sign.\n\nDRIVER\nI'm so sorry, you'll have to forgive\nme. I can't hear a damn thing. I went\nto that rock concert last night at the\ngarden. My seats were right up agains\nthe speaker. It's a heavy metal group.\nMetalla-something.\n\nKRAMER\n-ca.\n\nDRIVER\nHuh?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nca.\n\nGEORGE\nah.\n\nDRIVER\nMy ears are still ringing. Some woman's\nidea of a joke.\n\nElaine gets in. The driver looks up and notices her. He gets\nangry.\n\nA moment later, the group gets out of the car.\n\nDRIVER\nGet out. Get out. Go on. Hey. Shut the\ndoor.\n\nKramer shuts the door and the car takes off, squeeling the tires.\n\nAt the party.\n\nJERRY\nYou know the whole idea of taking the\ncar service was so I wouldn't have to\nfight the traffic on Friday night.\n\nLaura sees the group and gets up. She points to her watch.\n\nJERRY\nI know. I'm late. Hey now I know two\nsigns, (puts his hand in the air) check,\nand (points to his watch) late. Hey\nthis is the guy you helped become the\nfirst ball man.\n\nKramer and Laura start signing to each other. We see confusion\nfrom them as they are signing. George puts his forhead on his\nhand.\n\nKRAMER\nShe doesn't know what she's talking\nabout.\n\nTODD\nGuys you made it.\n\nGEORGE\nHey hey.\n\nTODD\nSorry to hear about Gwen.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy? Did she say something to you about\nwhy she broke up with me?\n\nTODD\nOh no. Tonight will be the first chance\nI've had to talk to her. Look George,\nI'm friends with both of you. I can't\nbetray her confidence by telling you\nanything.\n\nGEORGE\nI wouldn't hear of it, huh. It's none\nof my business. You should try to find\nout everything you possibly can. In\nfact, I'll even stay all the way on\nthe other side of the room so there's\nno chance of me overhearing anything.\n\nTODD\nYou are so centered.\n\nGEORGE\n(to the others) Let's go, let's go.\nAll right what are they saying?\n\nGwen and Todd talk. Laura makes hand signs and Kramer translates.\n\nKRAMER\n\"Hi Gwen, hi tide.\"\n\nJERRY\nHi tide?\n\nKRAMER\nHi Todd.\n\nKRAMER\n\"You've got something between your teeth\"\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nNo that's what he said. \"That's interesting.\nI love carrots, but I hate carrot soup.\nAnd I hate peas, but I love pea soup.\"\nSo do I.\n\nELAINE\nShe's so wild. Can I borrow her for\na few hours tomorrow afternoon?\n\nJERRY\nNo. If I lend her to you I'll have to\nlend her to everybody.\n\nGWEN\nI don't envy you Todd. The place is\ngoing to be a mess.\n\nTODD\nMaybe you can stick around after everybody\nleaves and we can sweep together.\n\nKRAMER\n\"Why don't you stick around and we can\nsleep together.\"\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\n\"You want me to sleep with you?\"\n\nTODD\nI don't want to sweep alone.\n\nKRAMER\nHe says \"I don't want to sleep alone.\"\nShe says, oh boy, \"love to.\"\n\nGeorge walks across the room over to them.\n\nGEORGE\nSo you're getting rid of me and now\nthe two of you are going to sleep together?\n\nGWEN\nWhat? You're crazy.\n\nKRAMER\n\"What? You're crazy.\"\n\nGEORGE\nI heard your whole conversation.\n\nGWEN\nHow?\n\nKRAMER\n\"How?\"\n\nGEORGE\n(looks back to the group) I can read\nlips. You said let's sleep together.\n\nGWEN\nNo I didn't. I said \"sweep\". Let's sweep\ntogether, you know with a broom. Cleaning\nup.\n\nKRAMER\n\"... with a broom, cleaning up.\"\n\nGEORGE\nSweep?\n\nGWEN\nYes sweep.\n\nKRAMER\n\"Yes sweep.\"\n\nGEORGE\nCut it.\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge says \"Cut it.\"\n\nGEORGE\nCut it.\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge is saying \"Cut it.\"\n\nGEORGE\nCut it. (goes back to the group) (Yelling)\nWould you stop signing? She said \"sweep\ntogether\" you idiots, not \"sleep together.\"\n\nLaura's mouth is wide open. She looks at Kramer and points to\nGeorge. She is mad at Kramer. Aparently she did say sweep and\nKramer mis-translated. She signs to Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nI know how to sign.\n\nKramer and Laura are arguing back and forth with sign language.\nThey are gesturing signs fiercely. One of Laura's signs causes\nher hand to swing backwards and hit George in the face.\n\nGEORGE\nOw. My eye, my eye.\n\n(At the tennis court)\n\nELAINE\nIt's so amazing getting to see Monica\nSellas playing in the finals.\n\nJERRY\nI know and on the first tournament of\nher comeback.\n\nKramer is sitting poised on the sideline. He waves back to the\ngroup. George and Elaine gives him a thumbs up. The two players\nhit the ball back and forth. The ball lands in the net. Kramer\nsprings into action running toward the ball and runs into Monica\nSellas. Monica falls to the ground in pain.\n\nJERRY\nThus ends the great ball man experiment.\n\nLaura gets into the car service car.\n\nDRIVER\nYou with the tennis center?\n\nLAURA\nYep.\n\nDRIVER\nHey how about that ball man injuring\nMonica Sellas. Wasn't that something.\n\nLaura. I'm deaf.\n\nDRIVER\nOh. (Very suspicious look on his face.)\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Non-Fat-Yogurt.html", "text": "THE NON-FAT YOGURT\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David\n\nJERRY\nI've always been a big fan of the little\ncheck move.

Cool!\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you got there?\n\nLabbie Actually, this is Mr. Giuliani's blood.

She's going\nto be sequestered.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm not taking her out just to influence\nthe results.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I think the whole thing stinks.\n\nELAINE\nIt smells. Smells bad. Smells really\nbad.\n\nJERRY\nThat's enough.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nWell, with the smells.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, he made an appointment for me to\nsee Dinkins' doctor.\n\nHe's just trying to humiliate me.\n\nJERRY\nUh-huh.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd I have to go. If I don't go, he'll\nknow I'm lying.\n\nJERRY\nWell, so, what are you going to do?\nSit in the doctor's office\n\ndoing this? He's going to think you're a mental patient.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't care. Look, Lloyd: doesn't know\nwhat he's up against.\n\nThis is nothing to me. My whole life is a lie.\n\nELAINE\nHey!\n\nG&J Hey.\n\nELAINE\nSo, guess who called me.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, don't tell me. Lloyd?\n\nELAINE\nWe're going out tomorrow night.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, look, he's going to ask you about\nmy arm. So, just tell\n\nhim I banged it against a desk. And it's been moving\n\ninvoluntarily ever since.\n\nELAINE\nI can't say that.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nELAINE\nWhat if I like him? I'm going to start\nout lying to this guy?\n\nGEORGE\nSo, you're taking his side?\n\nELAINE\nNo. But what if we get married or something?\nWe'll always\n\nhave that between us.\n\nGEORGE\nAlready you're marrying this guy?\n\nELAINE\nYou never know.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, believe me, you're not going\nto marry him.\n\nELAINE\nAll right, well, then what if we become\na couple, George?\n\nEvery time we see you you're going to be walking around\n\ngoing like this?

Now,\n\ncursing is not something that most comedians do.\n\nSon You did it.\n\nJERRY\nThat's true. But it was an accident.\nAnd I haven't done it\n\nsince. And I would never do it again. And if you continue\n\ncursing, you'll never become a comedian like me when you\n\ngrow up. Excuse me one second.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, Lloyd: advises Dinkins on\neverything he does.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. Big advisor.\n\nELAINE\nHe tells him which soap to use.\n\nJERRY\nWhat the *beep* are you doing? You little\npiece of *beep*.\n\nLABBETTE\nShh!

Is the verdict in\nyet?\n\nLABBETTE\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, this is in case there's a tie!\n\nELAINE\nWell, as far as I know, he bumped his\narm into a door and\n\nit's kind of got this involuntarily movement. Some sort of a\n\nspasm. So, anyway, you're a big advisor to Dinkins, huh?\n\nLLOYD\nYeah, yeah. It's coming right down to\nthe wire.\n\nELAINE\nWow! You know what I would do if I was\nrunning for\n\nmayor. One of my campaign themes would be that everybody\n\nshould wear name tags all the time to make the city friendlier.\n\nLLOYD\nName tags, hmm?\n\nELAINE\nWell, everybody would know everybody.\nIt would be like a\n\nsmall town.\n\nLLOYD\nMaybe I'll mention that to him.\n\nELAINE\nReally? Wow!\n\nLLOYD\nYou sure you don't want any yogurt?\n\nELAINE\nNo, I'm watching my weight.\n\nLLOYD\nWell, it's nonfat.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, so they say.\n\nLLOYD\nWell, should we go?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Okay.\n\nELAINE\nThree days and he hasn't called me,\nand you know why?\n\nBecause he thinks I'm too fat.\n\nJERRY\nHe said that?\n\nELAINE\nNo, but I saw the look on his face when\nhe put his arm\n\naround me. And then we went to his apartment, and I sat on\n\none of his chairs and it broke. And he says, \"Boy, you're a\n\nlot of woman!\"\n\nKRAMER\nHey! So, hear anything on the yogurt?\n\nJERRY\nNo, but I expect to hear anytime.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I wouldn't get your hopes up.\n\nJERRY\nWhy do you say that?\n\nKRAMER\nNo reason. Oh, did you hear about that\nDinkins?\n\nELAINE\nNo. What about him?\n\nKRAMER\nYou didn't hear?\n\nELAINE\nUn-huh.\n\nKRAMER\nHe's proposing a plan where everyone\nin the city should wear\n\nname tags.\n\nJERRY\nName tags?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah! So people can go around saying\n\"hello\" to one another.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I see. So you can go, \"Hey, you\nknow who I saw\n\nwilding today? Herb!\"\n\nKRAMER\nHe's become the laughing stock! You\nknow The Times has\n\nalready stated it could cost him the election. Name tags!\n\nJERRY\nHello? Yes. Uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, really?\nOkay, thank you\n\nvery much. Bye-bye. Well, the yogurt verdict is in. Fat!\n\nKRAMER\nYeow!\n\nGEORGE\nThe next morning, I woke up, and it\nwas going like this. I\n\ncan control it if I really concentrate. But otherwise, oh!\n\nDOCTOR\nYes, well, I'm going to have to be perfectly\nhonest with you.\n\nGEORGE\nPlease, doctor.\n\nDOCTOR\nI've examined you.\n\nGEORGE\nYes.\n\nDOCTOR\nI've looked at your X-rays.\n\nGEORGE\nUh-huh.\n\nDOCTOR\nAnd I find that there's absolutely nothing\nwrong with you.\n\nGEORGE\nHmm. Really? Nothing?\n\nDOCTOR\nNothing that would indicate involuntary\nspasms.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's kind of a mystery, isn't\nit?\n\nDOCTOR\nNo, not really.\n\nGEORGE\nHow so?\n\nDOCTOR\nMay I suggest the possibility that you're\nfaking?\n\nGEORGE\nFaking? What makes you think that I\nhave time to see\n\ndoctors, take X-rays, make appointments, when there's\n\nabsolutely nothing wrong with me? What kind of a person\n\nwould do a thing like that?\n\nDOCTOR\nI don't know what kind of a person would\ndo something like\n\nthat. Obviously a very sick person. A very immature person.\n\nA person who has no regard for wasting other people's\n\nvaluable time. Good-bye.\n\nGEORGE\nNow, see here, doctor.\n\nDOCTOR\nI said, good-bye.\n\nGEORGE\nFine. Ow!\n\nELAINE\nJerry, come on, look. Let's go over\nto that yogurt store.\n\nJERRY\nLook, Elaine, I've been thinking about\nthis. This has got to\n\nbe a massive conspiracy. Who knows how deep it goes. Hey,\n\nlook, wait a second, Kramer, turn that up.\n\nKRAMER\nOkay.\n\nNEWS\nRudy Giuliani, who underwent a physical\nlast week, received\n\nsome startling news today when his cholesterol count turned\n\nout to be a whopping 375. What effect this will have on the\n\nminds of the voters remains to be seen. In another\n\ndevelopment, Mayor Dinkins has fired his top advisor, Lloyd\n\nBraun, who is believed to be responsible for the name tag\n\nfiasco. We now take you to Giuliani headquarters where Rudy\n\nGiuliani is about to make a statement.\n\nGIULIANI\nIt's hard to understand. Because I've\nbeen doing everything I\n\nnormally do. I've been watching my diet very carefully. I\n\nexercise regularly. My only indulgence, I guess, would be that\n\nI eat a lot of frozen yogurt. But it's non-fat.\n\nJERRY\nYogurt? Oh, my god. They got Giuliani\nand he doesn't even\n\nknow it.\n\nELAINE\nNow look what you've done.\n\nJERRY\nWell, we've got to do something. I'm\ncalling Giuliani's\n\nheadquarters.\n\nGEORGE\nName tags! Name tags! What kind of an\nidiot thinks\n\nanybody would be interested in an idea like that.\n\nDad I don't think it's so bad. People should wear name tags.\n\nEveryone would be a lot friendlier. \"Hello, Sam.\" \"How are\n\nyou doing, Joe?\" Hey, your arm. It moved again. I thought\n\nyou said it went away.\n\nGEORGE\nI banged it on the desk in the doctor's\noffice. And ...\n\nMOM\nBe quiet. They're starting the press\nconference.\n\nGiuliani My campaign staff has received some very disturbing\n\ninformation regarding the fat content in yogurt that's being\n\nsold throughout the city. I pledge to you now, that if I'm\n\nelected mayor, as my first order of business I'll appoint a\n\nspecial task force to investigate this matter. I promise you,\n\nmy fellow New Yorkers, that Mayor Giuliani will do\n\neverything possible to cleanse this city of this falsified non-fat\n\nyogurt.\n\nJERRY\nThe old yogurt was so much better. Oh,\nthis is terrible.\n\nGEORGE\nPhew!\n\nELAINE\nOh, it stinks.\n\nKRAMER\nMine, too. I got one more day.\n\nJERRY\nI can't eat this.\n\nNewman Hey, Jerry. Thanks a lot. I hope you're happy.\n\nJERRY\nIt had fat in it, it's not good for\nyou.\n\nNewman I don't care. It was good. I was enjoying it. Had to\n\ninterfere. Couldn't leave well enough alone. Well, I will get\n\neven with you for this. You can count on it.\n\nELAINE\nHey, you guys, listen to this. Listen\nto this. Apparently\n\nsome blood spilled into Mr. Giuliani's test tube causing his\n\ncholesterol count to be 150 points higher than was initially\n\nreported. Ironically, the mishap by bringing the non-fat yogurt\n\nscandal to the attention of the public, probably clinched the\n\nelection for the Republican. It was the one issue which\n\nseemed to electrify the voters and swept Giuliani into office.\n\nJERRY\nSo, in effect, the yogurt won him the\nelection.\n\nELAINE\nI wonder what actually happened in that\nlab.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, me, too.\n\nNewman I can't eat this.\n\nBOY\nThanks for ruining my daddy's business,\nyou fat *beep*!\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Barber.html", "text": "THE BARBER\n\nWritten by\n\nAndy Robin\n\nMR.

Let me see it.\n\nJERRY\nForget it.\n\nELAINE\nCome on.\n\nJERRY\nAll right.\n\nJerry takes off his baseball cap. Elaine bursts out laughing.\nGeorge starts laughing.

He knows my hair.\n\nKRAMER\nListen you're just imagining things.\nHe doesn't know a thing. Now come on.\nPull yourself\n\ntogether.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, okay.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nWhat happened? It looks the same.\n\nJERRY\nHe didn't get to finish it. His uncle\ncame in. We almost got caught.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, the auction is in a few hours.\n\nJERRY\nTake the K-man.\n\nELAINE\nYou can still go.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat are you kidding? Look at him. He's\ngrotesque.\n\nELAINE\nYou think?\n\nKRAMER\nDo I think? He's repugnant.\n\nElaine fiddles with the hair, trying to make it not look so bad.\nIt doesn't work.\n\nELAINE\nWhat would you wear?\n\nKRAMER\nWhatever it takes.\n\nAt the barber shop.\n\nENZO\nSee, now Newman is a good customer.\n\nNEWMAN\nOnce I find a barber I stick with him.\nI almost went to barber school.

Newman puts the\n\nscissors close up to Jerry's hair. Jerry turns around. Newman\nhides the scissors. Jerry looks at Newman\n\nconfused.\n\nJERRY\nIf you want to watch, sit down.

(Jerry and Gino\nscrambling) Go. (yelling to the door)\nOne second.\n\nENZO\nIt was you that was in Gino's apartment\nthe other night.\n\nJERRY\nNo I wasn't there.\n\nENZO\nDon't lie. I know it was you. I get\na sample of your hair. I match them\nup.\n\nJERRY\nSample? (under his breath) Newman.

Really.\n\nTUTTLE\nI guess I didn't make that clear when\nI hired you. So where's that Pensky\nfile? Let's see what\n\nyou've been up to all week. (pages through the file) What have\nyou been doing all week?\n\nGEORGE\nWell you missed a lovely little party\nthat we had for Grace.\n\nTUTTLE\nYou haven't done anything with this.\n\nGEORGE\nWell bear in mind that I am in the smaller\noffice.\n\nTUTTLE\nI'm beginning to wonder if you understand\nanything.\n\nGEORGE\nYou are aware that Pensky is interested\nin me.\n\nTUTTLE\n(scoffs) You're not Pensky material.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, we'll just see about that. Ta-ta,\nTut-tle.\n\nAt Jerry's apartment.\n\nGino and Enzo are watching \"Edward Scissorhands\" on TV. They\nare both sobbing.\n\nAt the barber shop.\n\n\"Barber of Seville\" music is playing.\n\nJerry looks in the barber shop window and sees Newman giving\na guy a haircut. He enters. Newman looks\n\nat him scared. Jerry picks up an electric razor and walks toward\nNewman. Newman is very frightened.\n\n(commercial)\n\nPENSKY\nGee George, I'm sorry I gave you the\nwrong impression. What is was going\nto say was, now you\n\nare aware that our Board of Directors has been indicted, myself\nincluded, and we're prohibited from doing\n\nbusiness until the investigation is completed. So obviously,\nwe would have no use for you.\n\nGEORGE\nObviously.\n\n*buzz*\n\nPENSKY\nYes.\n\nSECRETARY\n(over the speaker) Excuse me, but Mr.\nCostanza's car is being towed.\n\nGeorge waves his hand and the final note of \"Barber of Seville\"\nplays.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Masseuse.html", "text": "THE MASSEUSE\n\nWritten by\n\nPeter Mehlman\n\n(Comedy club)\n\n(Elaine's office and Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Elaine's on the phone with Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nNo eight years isn't such a long streak.\n\nELAINE\nIt isn't?\n\nJERRY\nNo I haven't vomited in thirteen years.\n\nELAINE\nGet out!\n\nJERRY\nNot since June 29, 1980.\n\nELAINE\nYou remember the date?\n\nJERRY\nYes, because my previous vomit was also\nJune 29th... 1972.

I'm vomiting on\nJune 29th again.\"\n\nELAINE\nBoy, you know when Joel told me he hadn't\nthrown up in eight years, I was wondering\nif he was normal.\n\nJERRY\nYour boyfriend is a normal guy.

Rifkin.\n\nMICHAEL\nRifkin? Joel Rifkin?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. It's just a coincidence obviously.\n\nMICHAEL\nGuess you better keep on his good side.\n\nELAINE\nVery funny. That's very funny.\n\nJOANNE\nI wouldn't sleep with my back to him\nif I were you.\n\nELAINE\nAll right. Well that's enough of that.\nThat's enough.\n\nMICHAEL\nHey Elaine listen.

Eighteen strangles.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know why Rifkin was a serial killer?\nBecause he was adopted. (saying it as\nhe's taking a lot of paper towels from\nJerry's roll; Elaine and Jerry are confused\nat Kramer's statement) Just like Son\nof Sam was adopted. So apparently adoption\nleads to serial killing.

(we see a flashback from The\nMango where Karen tells George that\nshe feels full after a Risotto, as opposed\nto when she has sex with him)\n\nELAINE\nOh! The Risotto broad.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. He's really got a good thing with\nher. In fact I'm doubling with them\ntonight.\n\nELAINE\nI tought you didn't like double dates.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge likes them, he feels it's a good\npersonality showcase. He likes a date\nto see him with a friend so she can\nget a window into his nondate personality.\n\nELAINE\nI've looked through that window and\nscreamed at him to shut the blinds.\n\nJERRY\nHe feels he's funnier, more relaxed.\n\nELAINE\nAnd you're taking...\n\nJERRY\nJody the masseuse.\n\nELAINE\nHey, did you get a massage yet?\n\nJERRY\nNo! How many times do I have to go out\nwith her before I get a massage?\n\nELAINE\nJerry, she gives massages all day. She\ndoesn't wanna to give them on dates.\n\nJERRY\nYeah I know... She just wants to have\nsex.\n\nELAINE\nSo what?\n\nJERRY\nWell it's like going to Idhao and eating\ncarrots. I like carrots, but I'm in\nIdhao, I want a potato.\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(The Chinese restaurant (the same as in 'The Chinese Restaurant'))\n\n(Jerry, Jody, Karen and George sitting at a table. Yes! They\ngot a table!)\n\nGEORGE\n(George is telling a story. Karen is\nlaughing and she seems to be the only\none to find him funny) So I go into\nthis clothing store and the saleswoman\nis wearing this (whistling) low cut\nthing. So I said to her: \"Can I ask\nyou a question? When you put on a top\nlike that, what's your tought process?\nWhat's going on in your mind?\"\n\nKAREN\nThat is so funny.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Jody) You're listening to this?\n\nJODI\nYeah. I heard you.\n\nJERRY\n(to Jody) My neck is killing me. Right\nin this spot. Very tender over here.\n\nJODI\n(to George) So what did she say?\n\nGEORGE\nWell nothing. I didn't actually say\nthat. (Karen is still laughing)\n\nJODI\nYou just said that you said it.\n\nGEORGE\nSweetheart, I was exaggerating.\n\nKAREN\nI'm learning a lot about you tonight\nGeorge. I've never seen you like this.\n\nJERRY\n(touching the back of his neck) It's\nlike somebody's pulling on wires back\nhere.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know it's like you never see a really\nattractive woman getting a traffic ticket.\n\nJODI\nHow can you say that? My sister got\na ticket last week. Are you saying she's\nnot attractive?\n\nGEORGE\nWell I've never met your sister but\nobviously these are not hard-and-fast\nrules. (to the waitress) Darling, the\ntea is getting a little cold sweetheart.\n\nJODI\n(to Jerry) Can we go?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Let's go.\n\nKAREN\nSo soon? (they get up)\n\nJERRY\nYeah.

Nice to meet you too and I'm gonna\ncall you about that massage.\n\nJODI\nOh yeah.\n\nGEORGE\nJody let's do this agian real soon (he\ntends his arms for a hug but she avoids\nhim)\n\nJODI\nYeah. (she and Jerry walk away)\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(Jerry's place later that night)\n\n(Jerry and Jody are sitting next to each other on the couch,\nwatching TV)\n\nJERRY\nI strained my neck last night.\n\nJODI\nReally, how?\n\nJERRY\nI tried brushing my teeth by holding\nthe brush and moving my head from side\nto side. It didn't work.\n\nJODI\nSo what's the deal with your friend\nGeorge?\n\nJERRY\nNo deal. Why?\n\nJODI\nWhat was all that \"attractive women\nnot getting tickets\" nonsense?\n\nJERRY\nHe was just showcasing his nondate pesonality.\n\nJODI\nI don't know how you can hang out with\nthat guy.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Sometimes he really makes me tense\n(he takes Jody's hand and put it on\nhis shoulder)\n\nJODI\nDid you see the way that he was eating?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, he's disgusting. (putting her\nhand back on his shoulder. She unconsciously\nstarts to massage a little while watching\nTV)\n\nJODI\nI have to tell you, I really don't like\nhim.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, me either. (he takes her other\nhand and put it on his other shoulder)\n\nJODI\nIt's just I hate that type.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, he's a bad seed.\n\nJODI\nNow you however, you, I like. (she stops\nmassaging and kisses Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you doing?\n\nJODI\nWhat do you think I'm doing? (he won't\nget his massage...)\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(The Chinese restaurant)\n\n(George and Karen are still at the table, they're about to leave)\n\nGEORGE\nSo, what do you think?\n\nKAREN\nReally enjoyed it.\n\nGEORGE\nJody's nice.\n\nKAREN\nShe's very nice. (grabs George's hand)\nLet's discuss this later.\n\nGEORGE\nYou think she liked me? She seemed to\nlike me.\n\nKAREN\nYeah\n\nGEORGE\nI was personable. Don't you think I\nwas personable?\n\nKAREN\nYou were *extremely* personable.\n\nGEORGE\nI tought I picked up a little something.\nI'm very good at this. Did you pick\nup anything?\n\nKAREN\nI didn't pick up anything.\n\nGEORGE\nThe second time I sent the noodle back,\nI tought she made a face...\n\nKAREN\nI didn't see a face.\n\nGEORGE\nI tought I saw a face.\n\nKAREN\nAnyhow, what is the difference?\n\nGEORGE\nNo difference. I could care less. She's\nJerry's girlfriend.\n\nKAREN\nGeorge, George, instead of talking about\nthis, we could be... you know... (she\nmakes a move with her head like George\ndid in 'The Mango' while saying: \"instead\nof the movie...\")\n\nGEORGE\nHe he he he\n\nKAREN\nAh ah ah ah\n\nGEORGE\nSo you think she likes me?\n\n(Karen gives up and slams her forehead down on the table)\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(Elaine's place)\n\n(She's sitting on the couch, reading, and Joel is coming quietly\nbehind her to massage her neck.)\n\nELAINE\n(as he touches her) Uhh!

(talking\nabout the magazine she's reading as\nhe sits beside her)\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah. You know what? There are\na lot of players named Dion these days.\nWhat a cool name, Dion. If I were gonna\nchange my name, I'd go with Dion.\n\nJOEL\nDion Benes?\n\nELAINE\nWell as a woman, it makes no sense.\nBut, I mean, let's say I was you. And\nI decided I was gonna change my name\nfor no real reasons whatsoever-- Dion\nRifkin. Wow! That is so cool.\n\nJOEL\nD-Dion Rifkin?\n\nELAINE\nWell maybe you're not the Dion type.\nO.K. then let's see, let's see, what\ndo we got? (looking at the magazine,\nshe starts to gasp and loses it) Oh!\nOh oh oh! O.J.! O.J. Rifkin! You don't\neven use a name, it's just initials.\nOh please please please change your\nname to O.J.! Please, it would be so\ngreat!\n\nJOEL\nElaine! What is going on?\n\n(scene ends)\n\n(Monk's)\n\n(Jerry and George at a booth)\n\nGEORGE\nShe stayed over?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.

It's very\nfrustrating.\n\nGEORGE\nSo we had a good time... the four of\nus.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWe all got along. Everyone seemed very\npleasant.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat did Jodi say?\n\nJERRY\nShe had a good time.\n\nGEORGE\nIs that it?\n\nJERRY\nPretty much.\n\nGEORGE\nDid she say anything about, uh...\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nNah. It's all right. Great! She had\na good time.\n\nJERRY\nYeah (a so-so yeah as he takes a sip\nof coffee)\n\nGEORGE\nYou just hesitated.\n\nJERRY\nI was blowing on the coffee.\n\nGEORGE\nShe didn't like me?\n\nJERRY\nLook it's not like you're gonna be spending\na lot of time with her.\n\nGEORGE\nSo she doesn't like me?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nShe said that?\n\nJERRY\nYes.\n\nGEORGE\nShe told you she doesn't like me!\n\nJERRY\nYes.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat were her exact--\n\nJERRY\n\"I don't like him.\"\n\nGEORGE\nUh-Huh (gulp) Why didn't she like me?\n\nJERRY\nNot everybody likes everybody!\n\nGEORGE\nI tried to be nice.

And it's not like they don't continue shopping, it's\njust they\n\nsomehow manage to find new old clothes. Every father is like\nthis fashion time\n\ncapsule, you know what I mean. It's like they should be on a\npedestal, with\n\nsomeone next to 'em going 'This was nineteen sixty-five'. To\nme the worst thing\n\nis shopping for pants. I hate dressing and undressing in that\nlittle room. What\n\nmen need is a place to shop where you go in, you check your pants\nat the door,\n\nand you just walk around the store in your underwear.

It's the only thing\n\nI had that was chilled.\n\nSYLVIA\nFine.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sorry about that lock on the liquor\ncabinet. The combination musta\n\njust flown outta my head.

I think if you\nspent any time with me at all,\n\nyou'd see I'm very sensitive to these matters as well. You wouldn't\nbe hungry by\n\nany chance, wouldya?\n\nWINONA\n(smiling) I guess I could go for a bite.\n\nJERRY\nYou like Chinese food, 'cos I once went\nto a great Szechwan restaurant in\n\nthis neighbourhood.

(doorbell rings) Am I just supposed to\nturn it on and\n\nwander aimlessly around the dial?\n\nEstelle answers the door.

It's very unassuming.\n\nJERRY\nWell, why would I assume. I never assume.\nLeads to assumptions.\n\nWINONA\n(laughs) Oh, by the way. That TV Guide\nI gave you, I need it back.\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nWINONA\nWell, I'm doing a report on minorities\nin the media, and I wanted to use\n\nthat interview with Al Roker.\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's too late.

The guy behind the counter doesn't look impressed.\nIn the\n\nbackground, Mr Lippman is browsing.\n\nKRAMER\nI don't understand. How can you have\na cigar store, without an Indian?\n\nIt's unseemly.\n\nSPIKE\nI'll give you a box of Coronas for it.\n\nKRAMER\nForget it.\n\nLIPPMAN\nUh, excuse me.

Everything's getting all crumpled and ripped from being\nsat on, thrown\n\nacross the room.

You know in the back of the TV Guide,\nthey have a phone\n\nnumber, ninety-five cents a minute, they will give you the answers\nto the TV\n\nGuide crossword puzzle?

If people\nwould only look to the cookie all our\nproblems would be solved.\n\nELAINE\nYour views on race relations are fascinating.\nYou really should do an op-ed piece\nfor the Times.\n\nJERRY\nUm, um, Look to the cookie Elaine.

He could\nbe one of the guys who built the rocket.\nYou see what I'm saying?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, he could build the rocket but\nhe's still stupid for double-parking\nand blocking somebody in.\n\nGEORGE\nSo you really understand my point about\nbuilding a rocket and double-parking.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, on one hand he's smart with rockets\nand on the other part he's dumb with\nparking... . It's cold out here huh?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe it's not even stupidity. Maybe\nit's just a blatant disregard for basic\nhuman decency. If this how dictator's\nstart. Do you think Mussolini would\ncircle the block six times looking for\na spot?\n\nKRAMER\nHow about Idi Amin?\n\nGEORGE\nIll tell you, if I was running for office\nI would ask for the death penalty for\ndouble-parking.

I wasn't invited? Nobody\nsends me an invitation?\n\nJERRY\nWell, it was sudden.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nAre you ashamed of your uncle? Do I\nembarrass you?\n\nJERRY\nNo, no, it was a small ceremony.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nHaven't I always been a good uncle?\n\nJERRY\nYes, yes, you have.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nWho told you when you went to school\nthat you print well?\n\nJERRY\nYou did, you did.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nWhen he was younger, he had a beautiful\npenmanship. I used to encourage him\nto print.\n\nJERRY\nI'm a good printer.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nI remember your 'V.' It was like a perfect\ntriangle. Whoa, there's my bus! (Rushes\nout.) Hello! Wait! (Jerry tries to catch\nLeo before he runs off to tell him about\nhis \"pretend marriage,\" but doesn't\nmake it.)\n\nElaine talking with Greg while he's on a Stairmaster at the health\nclub.\n\nGREG\nI'm glad you're here. This can get really\nboring. Do you know where I can get\nsome good olives?\n\nELAINE\nI can find out.\n\nGREG\nWould ya?\n\nELAINE\nSure. (Thinks - Ooh, a project. That's\na definite signal!)\n\nGREG\nBy the way, you look really great in\nthat leotard.\n\nELAINE\nOh, thanks. (Thinks - That's no signal,\nwho wouldn't like me in this leotard?\nI look amazing in this leotard.)\n\nGREG\nHey, you know what's weird? I think\nI had a dream about you last night.\n\nELAINE\n(Thinks - Okay, he open-lips me, he\ndreams about me, we have an olive project...that's\nit, I'm asking this guy out.) Um, you\nknow Greg, I...\n\nGREG\nCan I have a sip of your water?\n\nELAINE\nOh, yeah, sure. (Hands Greg her bottle.)\n\nGREG\nThanks. (Is about to take a drink, but\nwipes the neck of the bottle with his\nshirt first.)\n\nELAINE\n(Thinks - Oh my God.)\n\nGREG\nI'm sorry, what were you saying?\n\nELAINE\nIt was nothing, forget it. (George enters\nthe gym.)\n\nGREG\nSee that guy right there? I caught him\nurinating in the shower. I'm thinking\nabout turning him in, too. (On the other\nside of the room, George falls off an\nexercise machine and gets his foot caught\nin it.)\n\nJerry and Meryl in Jerry's apartment. Meryl is lounging on the\ncouch, watching TV and eating chocolates.\n\nMERYL\nHoney? Could you get me something to\ndrink?\n\nJERRY\nYou're right there.\n\nMERYL\nC'mon, I'm sitting! (Jerry walks to\nthe kitchen, annoyed. Meryl laughs at\nthe TV show she's watching.)\n\nJERRY\nHoney, what'd you do with the can opener?\n\nMERYL\nI didn't do anything with it.\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's not here, it was here yesterday.\n\nMERYL\nIt's in the first drawer.\n\nJERRY\nI'm looking in the first drawer. It's\nnot here.\n\nMERYL\nYes, it is.\n\nJERRY\nHey...I'm not stupid. I'm looking in\nthat drawer, there's no can opener.\n\nMERYL\nDid I say you were stupid?\n\nJERRY\nWell, wouldn't I have to be? You tell\nme there's a can opener in the drawer,\nI'm looking in the drawer, there's no\ncan opener - what other conclusion could\none reach? (The phone rings.)\n\nMERYL\nDo you want me to go find it?\n\nJERRY\nYes. I do. You show me where there's\na can opener in that drawer. (Answers\nthe phone.) Hello! I'm sorry, I'm just\nfighting with my wife.\n\n(Cut to Morty and Helen in Florida, each with phone in hand.)\n\nHELEN\nJerry, we just heard, what's going on?\n\nMORTY\nWhy the hell didn't you tell us?\n\nJERRY\nListen, Ma...\n\nMERYL\nIt was in here yesterday!\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that's what I said!\n\nHELEN\nWho is she? When did this happen?\n\nMORTY\nI told her you'd get married. She thought\nyou'd never do it.\n\nHELEN\nMorty, you're talking too loud.\n\nMORTY\nI'm not talking loud!\n\nHELEN\nYou're hurting my eardrum.\n\nMERYL\nWell, you must have done something with\nit!\n\nJERRY\nI'm on the phone!\n\nHELEN\nIs she there? Can we talk to her? What's\nher name?\n\nJERRY\nMom, I'm not married.\n\nHELEN\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nI'm not married!\n\nMORTY\nI knew it, I told ya!\n\nHELEN\nUncle Leo said.\n\nJERRY\nI'm just pretending I'm married to get\na discount on dry-cleaning.\n\nHELEN\nA discount on dry-cleaning?\n\nJERRY\nCould you make a little more noise?\n(To his parents) Listen, I'm gonna have\nto call you later.\n\nMERYL\nWell, I give up.\n\nJERRY\nWell, whoopie whoop. (Meryl goes into\nthe other room. Kramer staggers in the\ndoor in his bathrobe.)\n\nKRAMER\nGot any coffee?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. (Kramer lurches into the kitchen,\ntrips, and falls onto the kitchen floor.)\nI'll get it, I'll get it! Take it easy,\nwhy are you so tired?\n\nKRAMER\nMy quilt is still at the cleaners. Jerry,\nI can't sleep without my quilt. Like\nthe other night? I was cold. So, last\nnight, I turn up the heat - it's too\nhot. I open up a window - it's too cold.\n(Frantic) I can't get into a zone!\n\nJERRY\nWhat is that? (Points to Kramer's pocket\nas Meryl comes back.)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I forgot. (Hands back Jerry's can\nopener.)\n\nJerry and Meryl in bed later that night.\n\nJERRY\nHey, I'm sorry about all that can opener\nstuff.\n\nMERYL\nYeah, me too. Love you.\n\nJERRY\nLove you.\n\nMERYL\nWell, goodnight.\n\nJERRY\nGoodnight. (They kiss goodnight, then\npromptly roll away from each other and\ngo to sleep.)\n\nCommercial break.\n\nJerry, George and Elaine in Jerry's apartment the next day.\n\nGEORGE\nThey could kick me out of the health\nclub if he tells them!\n\nELAINE\nSo what do you want me to do?\n\nGEORGE\nTalk to him!\n\nELAINE\nHow can I do that?\n\nGEORGE\nYou said the guy gave you an open-lipped\nkiss!\n\nELAINE\nYes, but then he wiped his hand on the\ntop of the bottle when I offered him\nwater!\n\nGEORGE\nWell, that doesn't mean anything!\n\nELAINE\nAre you kidding? That's very significant!\nIf he was interested in me, he'd want\nmy germs! He'd just crave my germs!\n\nJERRY\nShe's right, George. Bottle-wipe is\nbig.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, what about the open-lipped kiss?\n\nJERRY\nBottle-wipe supercedes it.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, you're right, you're right. (To\nElaine) Alright, maybe he's not interested,\nbut you still know him - can't you just\nask him?\n\nELAINE\nGeorge...but if I ask him now, I will\nhave no chance of going out with him.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy?\n\nELAINE\nI...I don't know...\n\nGEORGE\nAha. Aha. Could it be because you don't\nwant him to know that you have a friend\nwho pees in the shower, is that it?!\n\nELAINE\nNo, that's not it!\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I think it is! I think that's exactly\nwhat it is!\n\nELAINE\nWhy couldn't you just wait?\n\nGEORGE\nI was there! I saw a drain!\n\nELAINE\nSince when is a drain a toilet?!\n\nGEORGE\nIt's all pipes! What's the difference?!\n\nELAINE\nDifferent pipes go to different places!\nYou're gonna mix 'em up!\n\nGEORGE\nI'll call a plumber right now! (Goes\nfor the phone.)\n\nJERRY\nAlright, can we just drop all the pee-pipe\nstuff here?\n\nELAINE\nOkay! Okay! I will talk to him. (Kramer\nenters.)\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, I think that quilt is ready.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you gotta pick it up for me!\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'll pick it up, but it's the\nlast time I'm doin' it!\n\nKRAMER\nI'm so tired!\n\nELAINE\nBoy, you don't look good.\n\nKRAMER\nHuh? I don't?\n\nELAINE\nNo, you look pale.\n\nKRAMER\nPale? Oh my God...I gotta meet Anna's\nparents today! (The phone rings.)\n\nJERRY\nHello? Oh, hi honey. (annoyed, weary)\nYes, I told him. I'll get it. (George\nand Elaine give each other a look, then\nleave Jerry to argue with Meryl on the\nphone.) Whenever. Okay, I'm sorry...\n\nJerry at the dry-cleaners. Kramer paces outside impatiently,\nwaiting for his quilt.\n\nMARTY\nI'm sorry, it's not ready yet. (Kramer\nbursts in.)\n\nKRAMER\nNot ready? It has to be ready! What\nkind of a business are you running here?\n\nMARTY\nWho the hell are you? It's not your\nquilt.\n\nJERRY\nHe's a very good friend of mine, he's\nkind've like an older brother to me...when\nthings don't go right, he kinda takes\nit personally.\n\nMARTY\nWell, uh...maybe tomorrow.\n\nKRAMER\nMaybe.\n\nJERRY\nOh, it's okay, it'll be okay.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, I'm gonna see you later.\n\nJERRY\nWhere you goin'?\n\nKRAMER\nI gotta meet Anna's parents today, remember?\nI look terrible! I'm gonna hit the tanning\nmachines.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe you still do that. You\nknow those things are bad for ya.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, that's how I maintain my glow.\n\nJERRY\nI'm goin' home. (Kramer exits. An attractive\nwoman enters the dry-cleaners with a\nbundle of clothes in her hands. Jerry\nnotices her and waits by the door.)\n\nPAULA\nExcuse me? Uh, how much would it cost\nto clean this?\n\nMARTY\nOh, about thirteen dollars.\n\nPAULA\nThirteen? Well, I can't afford that.\n\nMARTY\nWell, I'm sorry.\n\n(Paula turns around to leave and runs into Jerry. They smile\nat each other.)\n\nElaine and Greg at the health club. A sweaty Greg is exercising\non a leg machine.)\n\nELAINE\nHi, Greg.\n\nGREG\nHey, Elaine. I'll be off in a second.\n(Another guy approaches the exercise\nmachine.)\n\nELAINE\nI got the machine next, buddy. (Greg\nfinishes up his workout and gets off\nthe machine.)\n\nGREG\nIt's all yours. (Walks away. Elaine\nlooks at the machine, then George runs\nover.)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat happened? Did he bring it up?\n\nELAINE\nNever mind that, look at the signal\nI just got.\n\nGEORGE\nSignal? What signal?\n\nELAINE\nLookit. He knew I was gonna use the\nmachine next, he didn't wipe his sweat\noff. That's a gesture of intimacy.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell you what that is - that's\na violation of club rules. Now I got\nhim! And you're my witness!\n\nELAINE\nListen, George! Listen! He knew what\nhe was doing, this was a signal.\n\nGEORGE\nA guy leaves a puddle of sweat, that's\na signal?\n\nELAINE\nYeah! It's a social thing.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat if he left you a used Kleenex,\nwhat's that, a valentine? Now you go\nup to him and you tell him that if he's\nthinking of turning me in, that I got\nthe goods on him!\n\nELAINE\nNo! I won't be a party to this.\n\nGEORGE\nSo you're gonna let me get suspended\nfor shower urination?\n\nELAINE\nOkay, I'll talk to him. But you're putting\nme in a very difficult position. (Walks\naway.)\n\nJerry and Paula in a booth at the coffee shop. Jerry is trying\nto get the bundle of clothes from her so he can pay for the dry-cleaning.\n\nPAULA\nI won't let you do this!\n\nJERRY\nI want to!\n\nPAULA\nBut it isn't right! I can't.\n\nJERRY\nGive me the clothes.\n\nPAULA\nJerry, please. What about her?\n\nJERRY\nOh, the hell with her. (Paula dramatically\nflees from the coffee shop. Jerry thinks\nfor a second, then follows her and catches\nup to her on the street.)\n\nPAULA\nNo, Jerry, please!\n\nJERRY\nI'm not gonna let you walk out of my\nlife.\n\nPAULA\nI can't fight you. (They embrace and\nkiss passionately.)\n\nJERRY\nDo you want box or hanger?\n\nPAULA\nYou decide. (Jerry considers.)\n\nKramer in a tanning booth at the health club. He lies down on\nthe tanning bed and bonks his head. Cut back to Elaine and Greg\nin the weight room.\n\nELAINE\nYou're really working up quite a sweat\ntoday, huh?\n\nGREG\nYeah. (Spies the shapely manager of\nthe health club.) Oh, there's the manager.\nGood. I think I'm gonna talk to her\nabout that guy, you know, we cannot\nhave people like that in here.\n\nELAINE\nAre you sure you want to do that?\n\nGREG\nYeah. He's disgusting! Besides, I'll\ntake any chance I can to talk to her.\n\nELAINE\nYou're interested in...in her? (Points\nat the manager.)\n\nGREG\nVery.\n\nELAINE\nAh. You know, uh...I'm engaged. (preens)\nYep, gettin' married in fifty years.\n(Snaps the straps of her leotard against\nher chest and winces. George walks by\nthe manager.)\n\nGREG\nOh good, there he is. I wanna be able\nto point him out.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, Greg, I wouldn't do that if\nI were you.\n\nGREG\nWhy?\n\nELAINE\nWell, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't\nit a violation of club policy to not\nwipe down a machine after using it?\n\nGREG\nOh, I see...you're friends with the\nurinator, aren't you?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, well, at least he had a drain.\n\n(Cut back to Kramer lying on the health club tanning bed - fast\nasleep and snoring.)\n\nMeryl picking up her clothes at the dry-cleaners.\n\nMERYL\nHere you go. (Pays Marty, then looks\nat the clothes on the hanger.) Excuse\nme, this isn't mine.\n\nMARTY\nOh, yes it is. Your husband brought\nit in himself.\n\nMERYL\nReally? (Takes her change and grabs\nthe clothes off the hanger.) Thank you.\n(Exits.)\n\nAnna with her family and friends at her apartment. There's a\nknock at the door.\n\nANNA\nThat's him! (Opens the door. Kramer\nstands there, deeply tanned and smiling.\nAnna and her grandfather are shocked.)\n\nJerry and Meryl in Jerry's apartment.\n\nMERYL\nYou son of a bitch!\n\nJERRY\nI'm sorry.\n\nMERYL\nWho is she? I want to know who she is.\n\nJERRY\nIt doesn't matter. I want a divorce.\n\nMERYL\nA divorce? Oh, so you can marry her\nand give her the discount?\n\nJERRY\nYes, that's right.\n\nMERYL\nWhat happened to us, Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nI'll tell you what happened. We got\nmarried.\n\nMERYL\nI'm sorry, this is my fault. I pushed\nit on you.\n\nJERRY\nNo. I guess I just wasn't ready for\nthe responsibilities of a pretend marriage.\n\nMERYL\nGoodbye, Jerry. Oh, I forgot...(reaches\nin her purse)...this is your maple syrup.\n\nJERRY\nIt's alright, I want you to have it.\n\nMERYL\nOkay, thanks.\n\nJERRY\nWe'll always have...pancakes.\n\nMERYL\nBye, Jerry. (Exits.)\n\nCut back to Kramer at Anna's door.\n\nGRANDPA\nI thought you said you was bringin'\na white boy home! I don't see a white\nboy! I see a damn fool!\n\n(Kramer stands there, grinning foolishly.)\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Raincoats-Part-1.html", "text": "THE RAINCOATS PART 1\n\nWritten by\n\nTom Gammill, Max Pross, Larry David & Jerry Seinfeld\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nI really feel as human beings, we need\nmore training in our basic social skills.\nConversational Distance, don't you hate\nthese people that talk to you they talk\ninto your mouth like you're a clown\nat a drive-through and Hand shakes is\nthe worst, there's absolutely no guidelines\nfor hand shakes you know these people?\nToo long, too weak, sometimes they give\nyou the three-quarter handshake just\nthe fingers, early release, late release,\nsometimes people will dispute your release,\nyou let go there're hangin' on.

I mean I'll move into an apartment after a\nstrange person moves out, why would I wanna move into somebody's\npants?

(Robin comes\nover.)\n\nROBIN\nHi Mom, how's everything?\n\nROBIN'S MOTHER\nOh, this is just a wonderful party!\n\nROBIN\nThe burgers should be ready in a minute.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, great, great. (sniffs) What's that\nsmell? Smoke? (walks to the kitchen)\nHey everybody, I think I smell some\nsmoke back here...(smoke boils into\nthe doorway.) FIRE! FIRE! Get out of\nthe way!\n\n(The kids all scream and the party goes crazy. George barrels\nout of the kitchen, pushing down kids, clowns and old ladies\nin a mad panic to escape. He runs out the door and leaves everyone\nbehind.)\n\nCut to George sitting in the back of an ambulance with an oxygen\nmask on his face.\n\nGEORGE\nIt was an inferno in there! An inferno!\n(Eric, Robin's mother, and all the kids\nrush at George.)\n\nERIC\nThere he is! That's him! (Tries to clobber\nGeorge with his big shoe.)\n\nROBIN'S MOTHER\nThat's the coward that left us to die!\n\nCommercial break.\n\nCut back to George attempting to explain his cowardly actions\nto Robin, her mother, Eric and a fireman from the back of the\nambulance at the party.\n\nGEORGE\nI...was trying to lead the way. We needed\na leader! Someone to lead the way to\nsafety.\n\nROBIN\nBut you yelled \"get out of my way\"!\n\nGEORGE\nBecause! Because, as the leader...if\nI die...then all hope is lost! Who would\nlead? The clown? Instead of castigating\nme, you should all be thanking me. What\nkind of a topsy-turvy world do we live\nin, where heroes are cast as villains?\nBrave men as cowards?\n\nROBIN\nBut I saw you push the women and children\nout of the way in a mad panic! I saw\nyou knock them down! And when you ran\nout, you left everyone behind!\n\nGEORGE\nSeemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained\neye, I can fully understand how you\ngot that impression. What looked like\npushing...what looked like knocking\ndown...was a safety precaution! In a\nfire, you stay close to the ground,\nam I right? And when I ran out that\ndoor, I was not leaving anyone behind!\nOh, quite the contrary! I risked my\nlife making sure that exit was clear.\nAny other questions?\n\nFIREMAN\nHow do you live with yourself?\n\nGEORGE\nIts not easy.\n\nGeorge and Jerry at the coffee shop.\n\nGEORGE\nSo she doesn't want to see me anymore.\n\nJERRY\nDid you knock her over too, or just\nthe kids?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, her too. And her mother.\n\nJERRY\nReally? Her mother.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. I may have stepped on her arm,\ntoo, I don't know.\n\nJERRY\nYou probably couldn't see because of\nthe smoke.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. But it was somebody's arm.\n\nJERRY\nSo you feel \"women and children first,\"\nin this day and age, is somewhat of\nan antiquated notion.\n\nGEORGE\nTo some degree.\n\nJERRY\nSo basically, it's every man, woman,\nchild, and invalid for themselves.\n\nGEORGE\nIn a manner of speaking.\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's honest.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. She should be commending me for\ntreating everyone like equals.\n\nJERRY\nWell, perhaps when she's released from\nthe burn center, she'll see things differently.\n\nGEORGE\nPerhaps.\n\nJERRY\nSo, what was the fire? Just a couple\nof greasy hamburgers?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Eric the Clown put it out with\nhis big shoe.\n\nJERRY\nBy the way, did you see this? (Hands\nGeorge a magazine)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's that?\n\nJERRY\nIt's the Leonard Christian article about\nmy show. Plus my gig in Miami got cancelled,\nI betcha it's because of the article.\n\nGEORGE\nWow, he really does a number on you.\n(reads) \"Seinfeld froze like a deer\nin the headlights in the face of incessant\nheckling.\"\n\nJERRY\nI should have let her have it! I held\nback because of Kramer.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know what you oughta do. You should\ngo to her office and heckle her.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, right.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, like all the comedians always\nsay, 'How would you like it if I came\nto where you work and heckled you?'\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that'd be something.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not kidding, you should do it.\n\nJERRY\nBut wouldn't that be the ultimate comedian's\nrevenge? I've always had a fantasy about\ndoing that.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, go ahead! Do it!\n\nJERRY\nWhy can't I?\n\nGEORGE\nNo reason!\n\nJERRY\nYou know what? I think I'm gonna do\nthat! She came down to where I work,\nI'll go down to where she works!\n\nGEORGE\nThis is unprecedented!\n\nJERRY\nThere's no precedent, baby!\n\nGEORGE\nWhat...are you using my babies now?\n\nToby in her office at Pendant. Jerry pokes his head in the door.\n\nJERRY\nHey, nice shoes. What, you wear sandals\nto work? It's always nice to walk into\na room and get the aroma of feet. That's\nreal conducive to the work atmosphere.\nI'm sure your co-workers really appreciate\nit. 'Hey, let's go eat in Toby's office.\nGreat idea! We can check on her bunions!'\n\nTOBY\nYou know, I have work to do here! I'm\nvery busy!\n\nJERRY\nOh, is this disruptive? You find it\nhard to work with someone...interrupting?\n\nTOBY\nWell, how would you like it if I called\nsecurity?\n\nJERRY\nSecurity? Well, I don't know how you're\ngonna make it in this business if you\ncan't take it! Ya gotta be tough! Booo!\nBoooo!\n\n(Kramer arrives just as Toby gets upset and storms out.)\n\nKRAMER\nWait a second, what's happenin' here?\nToby! Toby!\n\n(Street outside. We hear screeching tires and Toby screaming,\n\"My pinky toe!\" Kramer is heard yelling \"Toby!\" and is shown\nwith a shocked expression on his face.)\n\nKramer and Jerry in Jerry's apartment.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat did you go up there to heckle her\nfor?\n\nJERRY\nBecause she came down to the club and\nheckled me! Give her a taste of her\nown medicine! (George enters.)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, YEAH! You gave her a taste of medicine,\nalright.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I didn't want her to have an accident.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat accident?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, after he heckled Toby, she got\nso upset, she ran out of the building\nand a street sweeper ran over her foot\nand severed her pinky toe.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's unbelievable!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah! Then after the ambulance left,\nI found the toe! So I put it in a Cracker\nJack box, filled it with ice, and took\noff for the hospital.\n\nGEORGE\nYou ran?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I jumped on the bus. I told the\ndriver, \"I got a toe here, buddy - step\non it.\"\n\nGEORGE\nHoly cow!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah, then all of a sudden, this\nguy pulls out a gun. Well, I knew any\ndelay is gonna cost her her pinky toe,\nso I got out of the seat and I started\nwalking towards him. He says, \"Where\ndo you think you're going, Cracker Jack?\"\nI said, \"Well, I got a little prize\nfor ya, buddy - \" (Kramer throws two\nquick punches and a massive uppercut)\n- knocked him out cold!\n\nGEORGE\nHow could you do that?!\n\nKRAMER\nThen everybody is screamin,' because\nthe driver, he's passed out from all\nthe commotion...the bus is out of control!\nSo, I grab him by the collar, I take\nhim out of the seat, I get behind the\nwheel and now I'm drivin' the bus.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're Batman.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Yeah, I am Batman. Then the mugger,\nhe comes to, and he starts chokin' me!\nSo I'm fightin' him off with one hand\nand I kept drivin' the bus with the\nother, y'know? Then I managed to open\nup the door, and I kicked him out the\ndoor with my foot, you know - at the\nnext stop.\n\nJERRY\nYou kept makin' all the stops?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, people kept ringin' the bell!\n\nGEORGE\nWell, what about the toe? What happened\nto the toe?\n\nKRAMER\nWell! I am happy to say that the little\nguy is back in place at the end of the\nline.\n\nGEORGE\nYou did all this...for a pinky toe?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's a valuable appendage.\n\nElaine in her office at work, talking with two co-workers.\n\nJOANNE\nSo, Kramer found the toe, and they re-attached\nit.\n\nELAINE\nReally.\n\nJOANNE\nPoor kid. What an ordeal.\n\nMICHAEL\nAnd you know how extremely sensitive\nshe is...she's gonna need our full support.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, right.\n\nMICHAEL\nToby, what can I do? Can I get you something?\n\nTOBY\nOh no, I'll be fine...\n\n(A horde of employees flood into Elaine's office to gush over\nToby. Elaine is pushed to the floor as a result.)\n\nElaine and Jerry in Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nShe got the promotion?\n\nELAINE\nYep.\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nELAINE\nI'll tell ya why. Because of her pinky\ntoe, that's why. Because Lippman felt\nso sorry for her, he didn't want to\nhurt her feelings.\n\nJERRY\nToo bad.\n\nELAINE\nSure, the pinky toe is cute! But, I\nmean, what is it? It's useless! It does\nnothing. It's got that little nail that\nis just impossible to cut. What do we\nneed it for?\n\nJERRY\nBecause Elaine, that's the one that\ngoes 'wee-wee-wee all the home.'\n\nELAINE\nWhy don't you just shut the f-\n\nKRAMER\nHey Elaine, did you hear the good news?\nToby got promoted!\n\nELAINE\nYes, I heard, Kramer - I work there,\nremember??\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, and you know what she told me?\nShe said her first order of business\nis to put my coffee table book into\nthe bookstores as soon as possible.\n\nELAINE\nOh, wonderful!\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, throughout this whole thing,\nshe always kept a smile on her face.\n\nELAINE\nOh, of course! She's deranged.\n\nJerry and Ronnie backstage at the comedy club.\n\nJERRY\nSo, I went down to the magazine, I pleaded\nwith him to come and see me again, finally\nhe agreed to come down tonight, and\nhe's going to write another article.\n\nRONNIE\nI heard you went down to somebody's\noffice and heckled them?\n\nJERRY\nDamn right! We've been lapdogs long\nenough!\n\nRONNIE\nHow could you do that? I mean, everybody's\ntalking about it.\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's about time one of us drew\na line in the sand.\n\nRONNIE\nJerry, you're like Rosa Parks. You opened\nthe door for all of us. I can't wait\ntill the next time someone heckles me.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well, won't be long.\n\nANNOUNCER\nLadies and gentlemen, please welcome\nJerry Seinfeld!\n\nJERRY\nGotta go. (heads out on stage)\n\n(George enters and sees Robin working.)\n\nGEORGE\nRobin? Robin!\n\nROBIN\nGeorge, what is it? I'm working.\n\nGEORGE\nRobin, listen to me. The most amazing\nthing has happened. Kramer has opened\nmy eyes. I think I've changed.\n\nROBIN\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nGEORGE\nO.k....(is about to explain. Cut to\nJerry on-stage.)\n\nJERRY\nI mean, Bozo the Clown...does he really\nneed \"the clown\" in his title, as clown?\nBozo, \"the\" clown? Are we going to confuse\nhim with Bozo the district attorney?\nBozo the pope? There's no other Bozo...\n\nCut back to George explaining his situation to Robin.\n\nGEORGE\n...you'll see, things will be different\nnow - if you just give me one more chance.\n\nROBIN\nListen...I gotta think about this. (walks\naway.)\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, but I'm serious about this.\n\nRONNIE\nAlright, hand it over man!\n\nCut back to Jerry onstage.\n\nJERRY\n...that's why men hunt and women nest.\n\nGEORGE\nHe's got a gun! He's got a gun! (Tries\nto flee the bar in a mad panic. The\naudience in the club also goes nuts\nand heads for the exits. Jerry stands\nonstage, perplexed.)\n\nCut back to George in the bar.\n\nROBIN\nGeorge! This is Ronnie Kaye!\n\nGEORGE\nThe prop comic? (Ronnie holds up his\nwater gun and smiles.) Oh, hi...I didn't\nrecognize you, what...did you get a\nhaircut?\n\nRONNIE\nNostrils.\n\n(Jerry comes backstage.)\n\nJERRY\nGeorge - could I have a word?\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nI was in a hotel the other day, and\non the back of the door in the hotel\nthey have the fire map. I'm flattered\nthat they think I have it together enough\nto stand in a burning hotel room memorizing\ndirections. 'Yeah, I'll go left by the\nstairs, right by the candy machine...'\nI'd probably get lost, have to go back\nto the room, check the map again...and\nthey always tell you, no matter what,\nwhatever you do in a hotel fire - do\nnot panic. Hey, I got four minutes to\nlive, I've never panicked in my whole\nlife - it's my option. Even if they\nfind you, you have a perfect excuse...'Gee,\nI heard they saved you swingin' from\nthe shower curtain naked with an ice\nbucket on your head. What happened there?'\n'Well, I panicked.' 'That's understandable.'\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Hamptons.html", "text": "THE HAMPTONS\n\nWritten by\n\nPeter Mehlman & Carol Leifer\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nLook at the work people do to get to the ocean.\n\nThey'll fight the traffic and the heat and the parking and the\nhot sand.\n\nTrying to get through the waves, and the ironic thing is the\nocean doesn't\n\neven want us in there.

You gotta see the Bay-Bee!'\n\nJERRY\nIs it possible they're just having babies\nto get people to visit\n\nthem?\n\nKRAMER\nHey Jerry, you ever wear silk underwear?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nPut that on the top of your list.\n\nJERRY\nNo, not for me. A little too delightful.\nWell, George and Jane\n\nshould be almost there by now.\n\nELAINE\nOh, isn't that weird that George and\nJane haven't had sex yet, but\n\nthey're spending the weekend together?\n\nJERRY\nI know, George is pretty pleased about\nit. It's like she signed a\n\nletter of intent.\n\nELAINE\nWhen's Rachel comin' out?\n\nJERRY\nShe's makin' the three o'clock train.\n\nELAINE\nHer father is so religious, I'm just\namazed that he's letting you\n\nsee her again after that Schindler's List make-out session.\n\nJERRY\nI bought him some kishka.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat's that?\n\nJERRY\nIt's kind of a stuffed meat thing.

I'm gonna\ngo in there to change.\n\n(She leaves)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat kind of a greeting was that?\n\nJERRY\nShe's got greeting problems.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. I love Hampton tomatoes. You know,\nyou can eat 'em like\n\napples. You know it's funny, the tomato never took on as a hand\nfruit.\n\nJERRY\nWell, the tomato's an anomaly. So successful\nwith the ketchup\n\nand the sauce, but you can't find a good one. (Kramer enters\nwith a box of\n\nlobster)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, hey, hey! Look at what I got!\n\nGEORGE\nHey! Wow, the K-Man! (They walk into\nthe kitchen inside)\n\nJERRY\nYou got lobster for everybody?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, and they're fresh! Right out of\nthe ocean.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is fantastic. Man, what a weekend.\nSwimming, lobster for\n\ndinner...\n\nKRAMER\nI know, it's great. And I saw Jane topless.\n(Jerry shows that\n\n'damn' expression behind George)\n\nGEORGE\nYou saw who, what?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I saw Jane topless. Well, we all\nsaw her.\n\nJERRY\n(Jerry realizes the situation is hopeless)\nAll right.\n\nGEORGE\nYou saw Jane topless?\n\nJERRY\nWell, when you went for the tomatoes\nshe lied out topless.\n\nGEORGE\nOh you mean face down on her chest.\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nFace up on her back?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWell why'd she do that?\n\nKRAMER\nI guess she was hot.\n\nGEORGE\nYou mean she just laid there topless?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, she got up, walked around...\n\nGEORGE\nWalked around? And you looked?\n\nKRAMER\nOf course. She's got a great body, buddy.\nAll right, I'm gonna go\n\nupstairs, I'll be right back.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe it, you saw her before\nme.\n\nJERRY\nThink of me as a doctor. (They go outside\nagain)\n\nGEORGE\nWell, how good a look did you get?\n\nJERRY\nWell what'd you mean?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, if she was a criminal and you\nhad to describe her to a police\n\nsketch artist...\n\nJERRY\nThey'd pick her up in about ten minutes.\n\nGEORGE\nGreat, great. So anytime you want you\ncan just visualize her\n\nnaked.\n\nJERRY\nI guess that's true...\n\nGEORGE\nStop it, stop it! It's not fair. It's\nnot fair. I don't like\n\nthis situation, Jerry. I don't like it one bit.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you want me to do? You wanna\nsee Rachel naked?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, yes! The punishment should fit\nthe crime.\n\nJERRY\nYou can see me naked. I can offer you\nthat.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's like I'm Neil Armstrong. I turn\naround for a sip of Tang and\n\nyou jump out first.\n\nELAINE\nNobody ever called me breathtaking before.\n\nJERRY\nI've never been called breathtaking\neither.\n\nELAINE\nI mean, if he thinks that that baby's\nbreathtaking, then who's not\n\nbreathtaking?\n\nJERRY\nMaybe he just said it because the mother\nwas in the room.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, right, that's a possibility. I\nhave to find out.\n\nJERRY\nHow are you gonna do that?\n\nELAINE\nI can be very clever.\n\nRACHEL\nI'm gonna take a swim.\n\nELAINE\nOh, me too. I'll meet you down. (She\ngoes in the hall and sees\n\nGeorge) Oh, don't go in, Rachel's getting undressed.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, okay. (Starts to walk other way\nand then walks to their room\n\nand goes in)\n\nRACHEL\nHey!\n\nGEORGE\nOh, sorry.\n\nRACHEL\nDon't you knock?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sorry, uh, it's not like I'm gonna\nsee something I've never\n\nseen before.\n\nJERRY\nYou might have.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't.\n\nJERRY\nYou won't.\n\nRACHEL\nWhat'd you want anyway, George?\n\nJERRY\nYes, George. I'm kind of wondering myself.\nWhat is it what you\n\nwant?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I was just wondering... if you guys,\nuh, had any gum.\n\nJERRY\nOh! So you were swimming in the pool,\nand you wanted some gum.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, because the water was cold... and\nthe chewing warms me up.\n\nRACHEL\nWe don't have any gum.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay. (Chewing) Thanks anyway. (Continues\nto chew as he exits)\n\nRACHEL\nStrange man.\n\nJERRY\nWait'll you get to know him.\n\nRACHEL\nSo where is this baby, anyway?\n\nJERRY\nOh, check it out. I guarantee you've\nnever seen anything quite so\n\nobjectionable. It's down the hall, third door on your left. (Rachel\nwalks\n\ndown hall, walks in on George changing out of his swimsuit)\n\nRACHEL\n(She screams) Oh my God! I'm sorry,\nI thought this was the baby's\n\nroom. I'm really sorry. (She exits)\n\nGEORGE\nI was in the pool! I was in the pool!\n\nGEORGE\nDid she do it on purpose?\n\nJERRY\nIt was my fault, I told her the wrong\ndoor.\n\nGEORGE\nI was supposed to see her. She wasn't\nsupposed to see me.\n\nJERRY\nSo what?\n\nGEORGE\nWell ordinarily I wouldn't mind. But...\n\nJERRY\nBut...\n\nGEORGE\nWell I just got back from swimming in\nthe pool. And the water was\n\ncold...\n\nJERRY\nOh... You mean... shrinkage.\n\nGEORGE\nYes. Significant shrinkage!\n\nJERRY\nSo you feel you were short changed.\n\nGEORGE\nYes! I mean, if she thinks that's me\nshe's under a complete\n\nmisapprehension. That was not me, Jerry. That was not me.\n\nJERRY\nWell, so what's the difference?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat if she discusses it with Jane?\n\nJERRY\nOh, she's not gonna tell Jane.\n\nGEORGE\nHow do you know?\n\nJERRY\nWomen aren't like us.\n\nGEORGE\nThey're worse! They're much worse than\nus, they talk about\n\neverything! Couldn't you at least tell her about the shrinkage\nfactor?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm not gonna tell her about your\nshrinkage. Besides, I think\n\nwomen know about shrinkage.\n\nGEORGE\nHow do women know about shrinkage? (They\nsee Elaine walking down\n\nthe hall) Elaine! Get! (She enters) Do women know about shrinkage?\n\nELAINE\nWhat do you mean, like laundry?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nLike when a man goes swimming... afterwards...\n\nELAINE\nIt shrinks?\n\nJERRY\nLike a frightened turtle!\n\nELAINE\nWhy does it shrink?\n\nGEORGE\nIt just does.\n\nELAINE\nI don't know how you guys walk around\nwith those things.\n\nMICHAEL\nThanks for the lobster, Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nRachel, aren't you gonna have any?\n\nRACHEL\nOh, no, I can't. I'm kosher, we don't\neat shellfish.\n\nKRAMER\nYou mean you've never tasted lobster?\n\nRACHEL\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nWow. You're so pious. I really respect\nthat. You know when you\n\ndie, you're gonna get some special attention.\n\nCAROL\nOh, the baby's crying. I'll go get him.\nHe can sit with us.\n\nELAINE + JERRY\nNo!\n\nJERRY\nNo, you don't wanna do that. You'll\nbe uncomfortable.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, finish eating. The baby's not\ngonna have any fun over here.\n\nWe're not fun for a baby.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, the lobster'll scare him.\n\nCAROL\nI'm gonna get him.\n\nGEORGE\nSee, look at this. Rachel, my T-shirt\nshrunk. It used to be much\n\nbigger, and now it shrunk. You see, that's what water does. It\nshrinks\n\nthings.\n\nELAINE\nReally? Tell us more, Mr. Science. (Rachel\nwhispers in Jane's\n\near, which prompts Jane to laugh)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat're you doing? What're you, telling\nsecrets? What're you\n\nlaughing at?\n\nJANE\nIt's nothing, George.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, it's very impolite to tell\nsecrets. Are you talking\n\nabout me?\n\nJANE\nWhat is it with you?\n\nJERRY\n(To George) Easy big fella.\n\nMICHAEL\nSo Kramer, where'd you get all these\nlobster, at the\n\nFleesher's Market?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I got 'em in the ocean.\n\nMICHAEL\nThe ocean? What'd you mean?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I found this rope and I kept tugging\non it, and all these\n\nlobsters came up.\n\nMICHAEL\nThose are commercial lobster traps.\nYou can't take those\n\nlobsters from there. That's against the law.\n\nKRAMER\nTake it easy. There's plenty of lobsters\nin the ocean for\n\neveryone.\n\nMICHAEL\nMy father was a lobsterman. He got up\nevery morning at\n\nfour and came home every night stinking of brine. He sent me\nthrough law\n\nschool with the lobsters he caught! (Kramer stands up from table)\n\nCAROL\n(Entering with baby) Here he is.\n\nKRAMER\nAhhh! (Falls to floor as he sees the\nbaby)\n\nELAINE\nSome night, huh?\n\nBEN\nYeah, I wish I had my telescope.\n\nELAINE\nSome dinner, huh?\n\nBEN\nNothing like fresh caught lobster.\n\nELAINE\nSome house, huh?\n\nBEN\nIt was built by Mark Farman.\n\nELAINE\nSome ugly baby, huh?\n\nBEN\nWhat did you say?\n\nELAINE\nI said, uh, some snuggly baby.\n\nBEN\nHe is something.\n\nELAINE\nWell, to tell you the truth, Dr. Feffa,\nI, I was surprised to hear\n\nyou use a word like breathtaking to describe a baby, I mean,\nbecause you\n\nalso used it referring to me.\n\nBEN\nWell, you know Elaine, sometimes you\nsay things just to be\n\nnice. (Elaine relieved, then confused, not knowing if he was\nbeing nice to\n\nher or to the baby)\n\nJERRY\nYou told her?\n\nRACHEL\nYeah, what's the big deal?\n\nJERRY\nYou don't understand. This organ, it's\nvery... schizophrenic.\n\nRACHEL\nJerry, what the difference? You know,\nyou're the ones obsessed\n\nwith this stuff, not us. I'm sure it wouldn't matter to Jane.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're going back to New York now?\n\nJANE\nYeah, I have some things to do.\n\nGEORGE\nUh huh. Uh huh! I think you spoke to\nyour little friend Rachel,\n\nthat's what I think.\n\nJANE\nSo what if I did?\n\nGEORGE\nAnd she didn't say something to you\nabout a certain something?\n\nJANE\nI don't know what you're talking about.\n\nGEORGE\n*I* think that *you* think that a certain\n*something* is not all\n\nthat it could be, when in fact it is is all that it *should*\nbe, and\n\n*more*!\n\nJANE\nI'm sure it is.\n\nGEORGE\nLook, you don't understand. There was\nshrinkage.\n\nfridge and Kramer lights up a cigar.\n\nKRAMER\nLooking for this? (Holding up lobster)\n\nRACHEL\nOh, Kramer! You startled me.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I thought you might wind up around\nhere.\n\nRACHEL\nYeah, well, I couldn't stop thinking\nabout how everyone was\n\nenjoying the lobster so much. I thought I little taste wouldn't\nhurt, huh?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm afraid I couldn't do that.\n\nRACHEL\nWhy not?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, that wouldn't be kosher.\n\nRACHEL\nC'mon, Kramer. I really want to try\nit.\n\nKRAMER\nNah, I'm sorry, honey. Not on my watch.\n\nRACHEL\nCome on, Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nHeyahhh!\n\nRACHEL\nI just heard a car drive out. What was\nthat?\n\nJERRY\nOh, that's just Jane driving home to\nNew York in the middle of the\n\nnight. (Rachel shocked)\n\nCAROL\nGeorge, thanks so much for making breakfast.\n\nELAINE\nGeorge, these are the best scrambled\neggs I've ever tasted.\n\nKRAMER\nI didn't know you could cook.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm just expressing my gratitude\nto our gracious host.\n\nBEN\nYes, George, the whole breakfast is\nbreathtaking. (Rachel\n\nand Jerry enter)\n\nRACHEL\nGood morning.\n\nALL\nHey, hey.\n\nRACHEL\nKramer, I just want to thank you again\nfor last night, you really\n\nsaved me.\n\nMICHAEL\nWhat happened?\n\nRACHEL\nWell, I almost tried the lobster, but\nKramer stopped me.\n\nKRAMER\nYou'd regret it for the rest of your\nlife.\n\nRACHEL\nYou're right, I would have.\n\nJERRY\n(Referring to George) Hey, look at this\nguy.\n\nGEORGE\nA little breakfast.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\n(To Rachel) And, uh, you eat eggs, right?\n\nRACHEL\nYes, I do, thanks.\n\nJERRY\nGeez, these are delicious. Where did\nyou learn to make eggs like\n\nthis?\n\nRACHEL\nUmm... This is so good.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, enjoying them?\n\nRACHEL\nMm-hmm.\n\nGEORGE\nUh, good. You know, you might wanna\ntry eating it with one of\n\nthese. (Holds up lobster bib)\n\nRACHEL\nThere's lobster in these eggs?\n\nGEORGE\nNot that much. You know, they tend to\nshrink in the water.\n\n(Rachel storms out of room)\n\nJERRY\nWell, I guess I gotta go, too.\n\nELAINE\nWell, this has turned out to be one\n*helluva* weekend. (Policeman\n\nknocks on door, Michael answers)\n\nMICHAEL\nExcuse me?\n\nPOLICE\nI'm sorry to bother you, but we're trying\nto track down a lobster\n\npoacher that cleaned out on of the traps.\n\nKRAMER\nWonder what's goin' on.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, I guess I should go up and apologize.\n\nMICHAEL\nThere he is, officer. (Michael points\nto Kramer, Kramer\n\nwaves to policeman)\n\nRACHEL\nAhh! Don't you ever knock?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know why Rachel had to drive\nback with Michael to town.\n\nELAINE\nHey, if you saw me naked, I wouldn't\nwant to ride back in the same\n\ncar with you either.\n\nJERRY\nI still can't believe Michael finked\non Kramer.\n\nELAINE\nHow is he gonna pay off a thousand dollar\nfine?\n\nJERRY\nThey got some sort of program.\n\nofficer. Back to the car.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, there's a tomato stand, let's stop,\nI can get some more.\n\nJERRY\nHey, isn't that Michael's car?\n\nELAINE\nThere's Rachel.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere?

This is no longer just some\ncrazy notion. Jerry, this is my religion.\n\nJERRY\nSo I guess your Messiah would be the\nAnti-Christ.\n\n( George rushes out, J+E follow him. J puts his hand in his pocket\n)\n\nJERRY\nElaine ... look! A twenty!\n\nELAINE\nOh my God.\n\nCut to Mr.Lippman's office\n\nKRAMER\nHey boss.\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nKramer. Come in.\n\nKRAMER\nHow're you doin' there, big guy? ( Puts\nhis arm around the tobacco store Indian\n)\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nHave a seat.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat, have you got yourself a cold?\n\n( Mr. L sneezes, K jumps in his chair )\n\nKRAMER\nWow, that's quite a honk! Get yourself\nsome vitamin C with rose hips and bioflavenoids.\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nThe reason I asked you in here, is I\ncaught your appearance on \"Regis and\nKathy Lee\" the other day and -\n\nKRAMER\nIt was pretty good, huh?\n\n( New sneeze, K jumps again )\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nAnyway, the thinking here is that it\nwould be best if you didn't do any more\nof these shows.\n\nKRAMER\nBecause of the coffee thing?\n\nMR.LIPPMAN\nKramer, I'm sorry.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat about \"Sonia Live\"? Now you're\nnot cancelling \"Sonia Live\"?\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nIt's out -\n\nKRAMER\nShe's a doctor, I got a thing for her.\n\nMR.

CUSHMAN\nWhy don't you tell me about some of\nyour previous job experiences?\n\nGEORGE\nAlrighty. Ah ... my last job was in\npublishing ... I got fired for having\nsex in my office with the cleaning woman.\n\nMR. CUSHMAN\nGo on.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, before that, I was in real\nestate. I quit, because the boss wouldn't\nlet me use his private bathroom. That\nwas it.\n\nMR. CUSHMAN\nDo you talk to everybody like this?\n\nGEORGE\nOf course.\n\nMR. CUSHMAN\nMy niece told me you were different.\n\nGEORGE\nI am different, yeah.\n\nMR.

STEINBRENNER\nNice to meet you.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I wish I could say the same, but\nI must say, with all due respect, I\nfind it very hard to see the logic behind\nsome of the moves you have made with\nthis fine organization. In the past\ntwenty years you have caused myself,\nand the city of New York, a good deal\nof distress, as we have watched you\ntake our beloved Yankees and reduced\nthem to a laughing stock, all for the\nglorification of your massive ego!\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nHire this man!\n\nCut to Pendant Publishing\n\nSECRETARY\nTina Robbins is here to see you.\n\nMAN\nWho's that?\n\nELAINE\nAh, it's my ex-roommate, she moved out\nfour years ago, but I've been sub-\n\nletting my apartment from her.\n\nMAN\nAlright, see ya.

Why?!\n\nTINA\nWell, there's been a number of complaints.\n\nELAINE\nYeah? Like what?\n\nTINA\nWell, like last Thanksgiving you buzzed\nup a jewel thief.\n\nELAINE\nI didn't know who he was!\n\nTINA\nThat's why there's a buzzer.\n\nELAINE\nWhat else?\n\nTINA\nWell, apparently, the week after that,\nyou buzzed up some Jehova's Witnesses\nand they couldn't get them out of the\nbuilding.\n\nELAINE\nWhat else have you got?\n\nTINA\nWell, let's see. ( Takes out a list\nfrom her bag )\n\nCut to Monk's\n\nJERRY\nI'll tell you what the big advantage\nof homosexuality is. If you're going\nout with someone your size, right there\nyou double your wardrobe.\n\nRACHEL\nI suppose...\n\nJERRY\nOh, come on, that's a huge feature.\nWhen they approach a new recruit, I'm\nsure that's one of the big selling points.\n\nRACHEL\nJerry ...\n\nJERRY\nYes?\n\nRACHEL\nI've been doing a lot of thinking.\n\nJERRY\nAha?\n\nRACHEL\nWell, I don't think we should see each\nother any more.\n\nJERRY\nOh, that's okay.\n\nRACHEL\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nNah, that's fine. No problem. I'll meet\nsomebody else.\n\nRACHEL\nYou will?\n\nJERRY\nSure. See, things always even out for\nme.\n\nRACHEL\nHuh?\n\nJERRY\nIt's fine. Anyway, it's been really\nnice dating you for a while. And ...\ngood luck!\n\nRACHEL\nYeah, you too.\n\nJerry leaves. Cut to Jerry's apartment\n\nJERRY\nThe New York Yankees?!\n\nGEORGE\nThe New York Yankees!\n\nJERRY\nRuth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle ... Costanza?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm the assistant to the travelling\nsecretary. I'm going on the road trips\nwith them! I'll be on the plane... I'm\nworking in Yankee Stadium! This is a\ndream, I'm busting, Jerry, I'm busting!\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe it.\n\n( The door buzzes, J lets E up )\n\nGEORGE\nAnd I' moving out of my parents' house,\nI'm taking that apartment on 86th street,\nremember the one we saw?\n\nJERRY\nThat's a great place!\n\nGEORGE\nI'm back in business, baby!\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, I wouldn't get too excited about\nthis stuff, you know, things have a\nway of evening out.\n\nGEORGE\nHey!

I'll tell you\nhow things are going. I am getting kicked\nout of my apartment!\n\nJERRY\nWhy? Why are they doing that?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know! They have a list of grievances.\n\nJERRY\nThe jewel thief?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, the jewel thief.\n\nJERRY\nWhat else?\n\nELAINE\nI put Canadian quarters in the washing\nmachine. I gotta be out by the end of\nthe month.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you could move in with my parents.\n\nELAINE\nWas that the ... opposite ... of what\nyou were going to say, or was that just\ninstinct? ( She squeezes G's mouth between\nher fingers )\n\nGEORGE\nInstinct.\n\nELAINE\nStick ... with the opposite. ( Slaps\nG on the forehead )\n\nJERRY\nElaine, don't get too down. Everything'll\neven out, see, I have two friends, you\nwere up, he was down. Now he's up, you're\ndown.

LIPPMAN\nAlright... tell them I'll be right there.\nWell, this is it, Elaine. You know,\nwithout this merger, we'd be out on\nthe street. Boy, they sure saved us.\n\n( Mr Lippman leaves the room, and forgets his handkerchief, which\nhe probably needs because of his cold, and Elaine can't tell\nhim, 'cos she's got her mouth full of Jujyfruit...)\n\n( Mr Lippman goes to meet the Japansese businessmen, then he\nsneezes, and realizes he doesn't have his handkerchief, but he\nis forced to meet the Japanese, as they have already spotted\nhim and started talking to him )\n\nINTERPRETER\nMr Lippman, it is with great pride that\nwe undertake this partnership with your\ncompany.\n\n( The Japansese \"boss\" reaches out his hand to shake Mr L's )\n\nMR LIPPMAN\nI ... I'm sorry, I can't shake your\nhand right now. It's germs.\n\n( This leads to a loud discussion in Japanese, and we sense a\nrather hostile atmosphere )\n\nCut to George's parents' house\n\nJERRY\nIs that the end of it?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, it's the last one.\n\nESTELLE\nI can't believe you're moving out.

( Slaps G's forehead )\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not gonna be nice. That's how I\ngot the job.\n\nESTELLE\nJerry, did you hear this?\n\nJERRY\nHe knows what he's doing.\n\n( G pulls both his parents to him )\n\nGEORGE\nI just want the both of you to know\nhow much you mean to me, and I love\nyou both very, very much.\n\n( K and J look at each other )\n\nJERRY\nOpposite.\n\nCut to Monk's\n\nELAINE\nI must've had at least eight in my mouth.\nI couldn't talk. I couldn't talk!\n\nJERRY\nWhy'd you have to eat so many?\n\nELAINE\nBecause they're Jujyfruit. I like them.\nI didn't know it would start a chain\nreaction that would lead to the end\nof Pendant Publishing.\n\nJERRY\nNot to mention the end of Kramer's coffee\ntable book.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, you knew he had a cold. How'd\nyou expect him to blow his nose?\n\nELAINE\nDo you know what's going on here? Can't\nyou see what's happened? I've become\nGeorge.\n\nJERRY\nDon't say that.\n\nELAINE\nIt's true. I'm George!

( Sits\ndown, says to waitress:)\n\nOh, I'll have the chicken salad on rye, my usual, you know what\nI get, darlin'. ( Turns to the Gang ) So, let's see, I had a\nlittle conversation today with Mr Don Mattingly - he's the first\nbase man. We talked about his new batting stance, you know, I'm\nnot crazy about it, but I said, \"Danny, go with it 'till it\nstops workin'.\" Donny baseball. He's a helluva guy.\n\n( J and K pay the check )\n\nKRAMER\nWait, wait, wait, that's too much. Mine\nwas more than yours.\n\nJERRY\nAh ... let's call it even.\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nCoffee's a drink that seems to encourage\na lot of accessories around it. Coffee\ncake, coffee table, coffee table book,\nclutches of people. Say what you want\nabout alcohol, but not only are there\nnot a lot of optional accessories, alcohol\nactually helps you get rid of things.\nFamily, home, job, driver's license.\nIn fact, at a certain point, the only\nthing you have to remember to get, is\nmore alcohol And maybe a rag for your\nsqueegee.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Chaperone.html", "text": "THE OPPOSITE\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David, Jerry Seinfeld & Andy Cowan\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nIt is pretty hard to justify, at this\npoint in history, the existence of men\nand their\n\nhandkerchiefs. I mean, they open it up, blow their nose in it,\nand then put it back\n\nin their pockets with their other valuables. Wallet, keys, mucous,\nyup, I've got\n\neverything. Is it because men can't give birth that they're just\nproud of anything\n\nthat comes out of us? We actually have a monogram sewn on to\nthem. What is the\n\nsource of pride here? We actually have it sticking out of the\nbreast pocket of our\n\njacket. \"I have a snot rag.\"\n\nWe see a sad-looking George staring out at the ocean. Then cut\nto the office of Mr.Lippman, where Elaine and Mr. Lippman are\ntoasting in champagne.\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nTo your promotion.\n\nELAINE\nOh, thank you! ( They drink ) Oh, thank\nyou, Mr Lippman, I can't tell you\n\nhow much I appreciate this. I mean, of course I deserve it.\n\nMR LIPPMAN\nWell, you're really on your way now.\n\nElaine screams with joy and Mr. Lippman coughs violently.\n\nELAINE\nYou really oughtta do something about\nthat cold.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJERRY\nYou got a raise?\n\nELAINE\nI don't fool around, baby!\n\nJERRY\nI thought you said Pendant was in financial\ntrouble.\n\nELAINE\nThey were, but they're being absorbed\nby Matsushimi, that big Japanese conglomerate.\n\nJERRY\nOh, when did that happen?\n\nELAINE\nThey're signing the papers next week.\n\nJERRY\nDoes this mean they're gonna be publishing\nKramer's coffee table book?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, they'll definitely do it now.\n\nJERRY\nBoy, you're on quite a streak. Job promotion,\nplus you're back with Jake Jarmal.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, it's gettin' serious, we're talking\nabout moving in together.\n\nJERRY\nBoy, you really got it all, I'm sure\nHelen \"Girlie\" Brown would be very proud\nof you.\n\nEnter George\n\nJERRY\nSpeaking of having it all ... Where\nwere you?\n\nGEORGE\nI went to the beach. ( J and E exchange\nlooks )\n\nJERRY\nOh, the beach.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's not working, Jerry. It's just not\nworking.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is it that isn't working?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy did it all turn out like this for\nme? I had so much promise. I was personable,\nI was bright. Oh, maybe not academically\nspeaking, but ... I was perceptive.\nI always know when someone's uncomfortable\nat a party. It became very clear to\nme sitting out there today, that every\ndecision I've ever made, in my entire\nlife, has been wrong. My life is the\nopposite of everything I want it to\nbe. Every instinct I have, in every\nof life, be it something to wear, something\nto eat ... It's all been wrong.\n\n( A waitress comes up to G )\n\nWAITRESS\nTuna on toast, coleslaw, cup of coffee.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. No, no, no, wait a minute, I always\nhave tuna on toast. Nothing's ever worked\nout for me with tuna on toast. I want\nthe complete opposite of on toast. Chicken\nsalad, on rye, untoasted ... and a cup\nof tea.\n\nELAINE\nWell, there's no telling what can happen\nfrom this.\n\nJERRY\nYou know chicken salad is not the opposite\nof tuna, salmon is the opposite of tuna,\n'cos salmon swim against the current,\nand the tuna swim with it.\n\nGEORGE\nGood for the tuna.\n\n( A blonde looks at George )\n\nELAINE\nAh, George, you know, that woman just\nlooked at you.\n\nGEORGE\nSo what? What am I supposed to do?\n\nELAINE\nGo talk to her.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine, bald men, with no jobs, and\nno money, who live with their parents,\ndon't approach strange women.\n\nJERRY\nWell here's your chance to try the opposite.\nInstead of tuna salad and being intimidated\nby women, chicken salad and going right\nup to them.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I should do the opposite, I should.\n\nJERRY\nIf every instinct you have is wrong,\nthen the opposite would have to be right.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, I will do the opposite. I used\nto sit here and do nothing, and regret\nit for the rest of the day, so now I\nwill do the opposite, and I will do\n\nsomething!\n\n( He goes over to the woman )\n\nGEORGE\nExcuse me, I couldn't help but notice\nthat you were looking in my direction.\n\nVICTORIA\nOh, yes I was, you just ordered the\nsame exact lunch as me.\n\n( G takes a deep breath )\n\nGEORGE\nMy name is George. I'm unemployed and\nI live with my parents.\n\nVICTORIA\nI'm Victoria. Hi.\n\nCut to Jerry's apartment. Jerry is on the phone.\n\nJERRY\nAre you kidding?

What? Yeah, sure, I'll do it.\nI just had something cancelled the same\nweekend. Ok. Great. Bye.\n\n( Turns to K )\n\nJERRY\nYou know, life is amazing. I just lost\na job and five minutes later get another,\nsame weekend, same money.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know who you are? Even Steven\n\nCut to G's car; G and Victoria driving\n\nVICTORIA\nAre you growing a beard?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy shave every day? It just grows right\nback.\n\nVICTORIA\nI guess ...\n\nGEORGE\nI'm afraid I'm just not interested in\nhow I present myself. If those kind\nof superficialities are important to\nyou, this probably isn't gonna work.\n\n( A car cuts in in front of them, G has to make a sudden maneuver\n)\n\nVICTORIA\nHey watch, he just cut you off! Did\nyou see that?!\n\nGEORGE\nTake it easy. Take it easy. It's not\nthe end of the world.\n\nCut to the movie theater; two young men are sitting behind G\nand Victoria\n\nMAN NO.1\nHey baby, how about a little tongue\naction, huh?\n\nMAN NO.2\nYeah, stick your tongue down his throat!\n\n( They kick G and Victoria's seats )\n\nVICTORIA\nWhat are we gonna do? Shall we just\nmove?\n\nGEORGE\nThat won't be necessary.\n\n( G gets up and turns towards the two men )\n\nGEORGE\nShut your traps and stop kicking the\nseats! We're trying to watch the movie!\nAnd if I have to tell you again, we're\ngonna take it outside and I'm gonna\nshow you what it's like! You understand\nme? Now, shut your mouths or I'll\n\nshut'em for ya, and if you think I'm kidding, just try me. Try\nme. Because I would love it!\n\n( People applaud as G sits down again )\n\nCut to G's car\n\nVICTORIA\nAre you sure you don't wanna come up,\nI mean, it's only nine thirty.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't think we should. We really don't\nknow each other very well.\n\nVICTORIA\nWho are you, George Costanza?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm the opposite of every guy you've\never met.\n\nCut to movie theater.

This has been\nthe dream of my life ever since I was\na child, and it's all happening because\nI'm completely ignoring every urge towards\ncommon sense and good judgment I've\never had. This is no longer just some\ncrazy notion. Jerry, this is my religion.\n\nJERRY\nSo I guess your Messiah would be the\nAnti-Christ.\n\n( George rushes out, J+E follow him.

Get yourself\nsome vitamin C with rose hips and bioflavenoids.\n\nMR.

LIPPMAN\nAnyway, the thinking here is that it\nwould be best if you didn't do any more\nof these shows.\n\nKRAMER\nBecause of the coffee thing?\n\nMR.LIPPMAN\nKramer, I'm sorry.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat about \"Sonia Live\"?

STEINBRENNER\nNice to meet you.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I wish I could say the same, but\nI must say, with all due respect, I\nfind it very hard to see the logic behind\nsome of the moves you have made with\nthis fine organization. In the past\ntwenty years you have caused myself,\nand the city of New York, a good deal\nof distress, as we have watched you\ntake our beloved Yankees and reduced\nthem to a laughing stock, all for the\nglorification of your massive ego!\n\nMR.

Whether there\nis a possible connection between the\ntwo is something we'll just have to\nwait.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry ...\n\nJERRY\nWell, it has nothing to do with you.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, but maybe he was so mad from the\npenalty stroke that he murdered the\ndry cleaner.\n\nJERRY\nWell, generally speaking you don't need\nany extra incentive to murder a dry\ncleaner.

What are you trying to say, George?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's just that I was the one who actually\npaid for the big salad. She just happened\nto hand it to you. But it's no big deal.\n\nELAINE\nYou want the money for the big salad,\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no,\n\nELAINE\nWhat is the problem?\n\nGEORGE\nThere is no problem... just a small\nmiscommunication.

I'm meeting\nGeorge here.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well then I better get going otherwise\nGeorge will make me buy him lunch to\nmake up for that big salad he bought\nme yesterday.\n\nJERRY\nHow do you know THAT?\n\n(Newman's apartment)\n\n(knock knock)\n\nNEWMAN\nWho is it.\n\nJERRY\nIt's Jerry.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou've come at a bad time now. Could\nyou come back later?\n\nJERRY\nCome on Newman. OPEN THE DOOR!\n\nNEWMAN\nHellooo Jerry. What a rare treat. What\nbrings you down to the east wing?\n\nJERRY\nOkay, pudgy, lets stop playing games.\nWhat happened with margaret?\n\nNEWMAN\nThere's no need to get excited. Can't\nwe discuss this like gentlemen?\n\nJERRY\nNo, we can't. My skin is crawling just\nbeing inside your little rat's nest.\nNow, what happened?\n\nNEWMAN\nDo you really want to know what happened?\nI'll tell you what Happened. She wasn't\nmy type.\n\nJERRY\nNoit your type?\n\nNEWMAN\nNot really.\n\nJERRY\nWell, how come?\n\nNEWMAN\nAh, she just didn't do it for me.\n\nJERRY\nWhat, what is wrong with her?\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, h ha ha- if you're happy with\nher, that's all that matters.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't think she's attractive?\n\nNEWMAN\nNo. I need a really pretty face. But,\nHey, that's me.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, Newman, thanks a lot.\n\nNEWMAN\nCare for some lemonade?\n\nJERRY\nNo, thank you.\n\nNEWMAN\nDrop bye anytime, jerry. Hah, ha ha\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nKRAMER\nListen to this, \"If a player cleans\nhis ball during the play of a hole accept\non the putting green he shall incur\na penalty of one stroke. \" That's a\nrule, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nBut it's just a friendly game. Why do\nyou have to be such a stickler?\n\nKRAMER\nBecause that's the way I weas raised.\nYou know when I was growing up I had\nto be in bed every night by nine o'clock.\nAnd if I wasn't, well I don't have to\ntell you what happened.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you so worried about this for?\n\nKRAMER\nYou know he talked about Pinkus on the\ncourse?\n\nJERRY\nHe did?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, he said he brought a pair of\npants into Pinkus' and they came back\nstained with some kind of dry cleaning\nfluid. And Pinkus denied responsibility.\nYou see he was very upset with Pinkus.\n\nJERRY\nSo it had nothing to do with you.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, but maybe I pushed him over the\nedge.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't think so.\n\nKRAMER\nPoor Pinkus, poor little Pinkus.\n\nJERRY\nHey, let me ask you a question. You\nmet margaret. Doo you think Margaret's\ngood looking? Um, she's a natural beauty.\nOh, no makeup. I like that.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, and the curls. You like the curls?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I love curls.\n\nJERRY\nYeah,, me too.\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, I'll see you later.\n\nJERRY\nWhere you going?\n\nKRAMER\nGenderson's.\n\nJERRY\nYou're going to see Genderson?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's weighing on my conscience.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, I think I could have played\nwith dolls if their were dolls in the\nhouse. It seems like fun to me. It doesn't\nseem like a gender thing. I think I\nwould like to play with dolls. What's\nso terrible?\n\nJULIE\nHa. So, George, I was talking to Elaine\nbefore.\n\nGEORGE\nA ha! We're just friends.\n\nJULIE\nYes, well anyway, she said something\nthat was kind of intriguing.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, share.\n\nJULIE\nWell, when I came over to the table\nshe mentioned something about how she\nbetter hurry up and leave or you'd make\nher buy lunch to make up for the one\nyou bought yesterday.\n\nGEORGE\nHa, ha ha uh, I'm not following that.\n\nJULIE\nWell, my question is, How could Elaine\nbe under the impression that you bought\nthe big salad, when I was the one who\nhanded it to her?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, she probably just assumed.\n\nJULIE\nUm, did she?\n\nGEORGE\n...uh, ... wait a second. Are you\nsuggesting that I went out of my way\nto tell Elaine that even though you\nhanded her the big salad, that it came\nfrom me?\n\nJULIE\nThat's what I'm suggesting.\n\nGEORGE\n... WELL IT WAS A BIG SALAD. AND WHAT\nI WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS, HOW DOES A\nPERSON WHO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE\nBIG SALAD CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT\nSALAD AND ACCEPT THE THANK YOU UNDER\nFALSE PRETENSES - AH - AH?\n\nJULIE\nGeorge, all I did was hand someone a\nbag.\n\n(Julie leaves)\n\n(Stationery store)\n\nELAINE\nIt's just that my boss is very demanding\nand he needed the pencil right away.\n\nSTATIONER\nWell,, why did you tell me to order\nit if you knew you were going to get\none someplace else?\n\nELAINE\nNo, no no I didn't know. I, I'm sorry.\n\nSTATIONER\nI went all the way down to the warehouse.\nIt took me three hours. I had a big\nfight with the foreman.\n\nELAINE\nReally? A fight with the foreman?\n\nSTATIONER\nYes.\n\nELAINE\nWell, again, I'm just awfully sorry.\n\nSTATIONER\nYeah? Well, then how about going out\nwith me tonight?\n\nELAINE\nOkay.\n\n(In Margaret's car)\n\nMARGARET\nI mean they found a tee and he played\ngolf that day. Nobody walks into a dry\ncleaner's with a tee. The circumstantial\nevidence is overwhelming.\n\nJERRY\nYou had how many dates with him? Three?\n\nMARGARET\nAround three. I don't know.\n\nJERRY\nAnd . .\n\nMARGARET\nI told you. He stopped calling me. I\nmoved on. I'm not hung up on him. What\nare you looking at?\n\nJERRY\nWhat? I'm not looking. Nothing.\n\nJERRY\nWhy are you looking at my face?\n\nJERRY\nWhere am I going to look?\n\nMARGARET\nKiss me.\n\nJERRY\n... I can't.\n\n(Throws Jerry out onto sidewalk and drives off)\n\nJERRY\nNewman!\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nAll I could think of was when I was\nlooking at her face was; Newman found\nthis unacceptable.\n\nELAINE\nWell,,I'm going out with the stationery\nstore guy.\n\nJERRY\nYou're going out with the stationery\nstore guy?\n\nELAINE\nI felt so guilty about the pencil I\ncouldn't say no.\n\n(George enters, upset)\n\nELAINE\nWell, well, well, I'm not treating you\nto lunch ANYMORE! You had to tell Julie\nthat I made a special point of telling\nyou that I bought you the big salad.\nDidn't ya'.\n\nELAINE\nUh, uh.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, if it was a regular salad\nI wouldn't have said anything. But you\nhad to have the BIG SALAD.\n\n(phone rings)\n\nJERRY\nHello, what? You're kidding. I'm turning\nit on. Oh, my god. Get out of here.\n(hangs up) Hey listen to this. They\nissued a warrant for Genderson's arrest.\nHe escaped and the police spotted him\non the New Jersey Turnpike.\n\nTV\nAs you can see white Bronco. The police\nhave cleared the highway traffic in\nfront of him but they are keeping their\ndistance and don't want the situation\nto escalate. And we have gotten an identification\non the driver of the vehicle. His name\nis; Kramer, one of Genderson's golfing\nbuddies.\n\nPOLICE\n9-1-1 What are you reporting\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, this is Kramer. I got Genderson\nin the car. He wants to see his fish.\nI'm taking him to see his fish. So tell\nthe police to back off.\n\nPOLICE\nOkay, sir, and what's your name?\n\nKRAMER\nMy name is Kramer. You know who I am\ndammit!\n\nGENDERSON\nI told you not to take the turnpike.\n\nKRAMER\nI thought we would blend in.\n\nGENDERSON\nIf we took the palisades this never\nhave happened.\n\nKRAMER\nwe would have had all that bridge traffic.\n\nGENDERSON\nAh, just drive.\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nJail doesn't really seem like that great\nof revenge. Wouldn't years of subtle\npsychological mind games be a lot more\nsatisfying? Constantly calling him,\nhanging up when he answers the phone.\nSending pizzas and taxis to their house\nall night long. After a while he would\ngo, \"I wish that guy would kill me already,\nI can't take it anymore.\" And how come\nwhen the police catch some really bad\ncriminal or something they put him in\nthe handcuffs, they hit him with the\nbaton, they put the choke hold on him,\nthen they're always careful they don't\nwant him to hurt his head when they're\nputting him in the back of the patrol\ncar. \"Watch your head, watch your head.\nDon't hit that metal edge there...\n.

I could see if I had a\n\nmantel.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, well, a mantel's a whole different\nstory.\n\nJERRY\nAbsolutely.\n\nGEORGE\nIf my parents had a mantel, I might\nbe a completely different person.\n\nJERRY\nSo anyway, she's kind of upset about\nit so I need you to do me a favor.\n\nGEORGE\nLet's have it.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm doing the PBS show, so during\nthe show they're gonna be\n\nrunning the Ken Burns baseball thing. So I thought if I could\nget a baseball\n\nplayer to come on the show with me...\n\nGEORGE\nYou want me to ask one of the Yankees.\n\nJERRY\nCould you?\n\nGEORGE\nAlright. I'll run it by a few people.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, Do your thing, where you lie\nto everyone.\n\nELAINE\nI should never have made that phone\ncall.\n\nJERRY\nHey, did you ever get to talk to Noreen?\n\nELAINE\nYes, she's very upset.\n\nJERRY\nSo was I right about the flirting? Was\nit true?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know, I never asked.

Humor? Come\n\non.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, her brother just had a book of\npolitical cartoons published.\n\nElaine and George laugh derisively.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, so maybe she wasn't flirting\nwith me. So what?\n\nELAINE\nSo, yeah, that's funny. Hey, you wanna\nhear something weird? Mr. Pitt\n\neats his Snickers bars with a knife and fork.\n\nGEORGE\nReally?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nWhy does he do that?\n\nGEORGE\nHe probably doesn't want to get chocolate\non his fingers. That's the\n\nway these society types eat their candy bars.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you know.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you think I eat all my meals with\nyou? (To waitress) Excuse me,\n\nsweetheart? I think you may have overcharged us. What is this?\n\nWAITRESS\nThat's the extra toast. Get it?\n\nGEORGE\nGot it. (the waitress walks away) Did\nyou just see what happened\n\nhere?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nDid you see the way she pointed at the\ncheck? She gave me the finger.\n\nJERRY\nThat's how waitress types express derision.\nThey don't want to get\n\ntheir mouths dirty.\n\nGeorge is in a meeting at work.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, what do you think?\n\nMR. MORGAN\nA PBS fundraiser? I'm not gonna waste\nany of the players' time\n\nwith that, besides the team already does so much promotion for\nchannel eleven.\n\nGEORGE\nChannel eleven? Forgive me for trying\nto class up this place, for\n\ntrying to have the Yankees reach another strata of society that\nmight not watch\n\nchannel eleven.\n\nGeorge begins eating a candy bar with knife and fork.\n\nMR. MORGAN\nUh, what the hell are you doing?\n\nGEORGE\nI am eating my dessert. How do you eat\nit, with your hands?\n\nMR.

Pending approval of the\nscript.\n\nJERRY\nExcuse me?\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, I'm Yankee management.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'd like to see the script too.\n\nJERRY\nYou're just answering phones!\n\nKRAMER\nIt would put me at ease.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, when you order from the waitress,\nget her to point to the menu. I\n\nwant to see what finger she uses.\n\nJERRY\nUh, say, I wanted a side order of fruit\nbut I didn't see it on the men\n\nWAITRESS\nOh, you're getting it (pointing to menu\nwith index finger), it comes\n\nwith your breakfast special.\n\nJERRY\nRight you are.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't get the special, but I'd also\nlike the fresh fruit too.\n\nWAITRESS\nI'll check.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't believe it, she did it again!\n\nJERRY\nOh, she had an itch.\n\nGEORGE\nShe had an itch. She could have used\nany one of those fingers. That\n\nfinger was meant for me.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, she knew what she was doing.\n\nJERRY\nBy the way, lunch is on me. I just cashed\nmy Nana's birthday checks.\n\nNana is standing on a deserted street in front of an abandoned\nbuilding,\n\nchecking for an address. A street tough approaches from behind.\n\nSTREET TOUGH\nLooking for something, lady?\n\nNANA\nIsn't the Chemical Bank on this block?\n\nSTREET TOUGH\nThe bank? It burned. It's gone!\n\nNANA\nOh dear.\n\nSTREET TOUGH\nNow what you wanna do is go down to\nforty-ninth street, that's\n\nthe main customer service branch. Ask for Mr. Fleming.

She hasn't left\nthe apartment\n\nin twenty-five years!\n\nJERRY\nI've been thinking about her, I just\ncashed some of her checks.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, that's right. You did.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nWhat kind of checks?\n\nJERRY\nI think Chemical Bank.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, they were Chemical.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nChemical?! She hasn't used that account\nsince her branch closed.\n\nWhat are you doing cashing her checks anyway?\n\nJERRY\nWell, Kramer thought it would make her\nhappy. (To Kramer) I never\n\nshould have cashed those checks!\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I didn't twist your arm.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nYour grandmother's on a very fixed income.\nWhat, are you broke?\n\nJERRY\nJust call me if you hear anything. (hangs\nup and faces Kramer) Well?\n\nI cashed the checks, the checks bounced and now my Nana's missing!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, don't look at me.\n\nJERRY\nIt's your fault!\n\nKRAMER\nMy fault? Your Nana is missing because\nshe's been passing those bum\n\nchecks all over town and she finally pissed off the wrong people.\n\nMr. Morgan is sitting at an outdoor cafe, eating a candy bar\nwith a knife and\n\nfork. Noreen walks by and takes notice. Cut to Noreen and Elaine\nseated at the\n\ncounter at Monk's.\n\nNOREEN\nSo anyway, it's caused a lot of problems.\nDan thinks I'm interested in\n\nJerry, he won't let up.\n\nELAINE\nI'm really sorry, but you can see why\nI'd make a mistake like that.\n\nNOREEN\nNo, why?\n\nELAINE\nWell, you know, because he's a high\ntalker.\n\nNOREEN\nHe does raise his voice occasionally,\nbut that's normal.\n\nELAINE\nNo. No, no, no, not a loud talker, a\nhigh talker.\n\nNOREEN\nReally?\n\nELAINE\nYou don't think his voice sounds a lot\nlike yours?\n\nNOREEN\nI never noticed that.\n\nELAINE\nWell, it's no big deal, you know, it's\njust that he can sound like a\n\nwoman, you know?\n\nNOREEN\nGreat.

He could have been normal.\n\nGEORGE\n[coming out of bathroom] Oh my\nGod! You know what I just realized?!\nIf\n\nthey get divorced an' live in two\nseparate places? That's twice as\nmany\n\nvisits!\n\nJERRY\nI never thought of that.\n\nGEORGE\nImagine if I had to see them both\non the same day? [mirthless] Haha!\n\nIt's like runnin' the double marathon!\n\nELAINE\nHey George, did you have any idea\nthat anything was wrong?\n\nJERRY\nHave you ever spent any time with\nthese people..?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know what this has to do with?\nThe man in the cape--I bet you\nhe is\n\nmixed up in this!\n\nI don't trust men in capes.\n\nJERRY\nYou can't cast aspersions on someone\njust because they're wearin' a\n\ncape. ..

He\njust went insane there for a while..\n\nELAINE\nOh, he went insane?..\n\nNOREEN\nBelieve it or not: Paul was convinced\nI was having an affair because\n\nsomebody kept calling and hanging\nup whenever he answered! What kind\nof\n\na Sick Person calls and hangs up\nover and over?\n\nELAINE\n[awkward, defensive yet hypothetical,\navoids eye contact] Well. Uh. I\n\ndon't know about sick. I mean,\nmaybe it was somebody who, didn't\nwanna,\n\ntalk to whoever was answering because\nwhoever was answering was always\n\nmaking, boring chit-chat, an' was\ncompletely oblivious to the fact\nthat\n\nthe person who was calling, didn't\nwant to speak to them, ah!\n\nNOREEN\n[has been growing increasingly\nslackjawed in amazement] I can't\nbelieve\n\nthat was you..\n\nELAINE\n[looks at NOREEN] I'm really sorry,\nNoreen..\n\nNOREEN\n[pause] So you thought he was boring?\n\nELAINE\nHey!

JERRY goes over,\nhits the button.]\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nDONNA\nIt's Donna Chang.\n\nJERRY\n[hits button] Come on up.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I guess I just didn't realize\nit..\n\nJERRY\nWell, let's look back on your history\nwith this woman. Okay?\n\nELAINE\nOkay..\n\nJERRY\nFirst, you encouraged her to join:\nThe Army. .. She did.\n\nELAINE\nShe was lost..\n\nJERRY\nThen: you suggest she goes..

You better make sure\nyou never tell this woman to jump\noff\n\nthe Brooklyn Bridge..\n\nELAINE\nIf I have this much influence over\nher, why don't I just call her\nan'\n\ntell her to get back together with\nhim--that's aalll!\n\n[DONNA CHANG comes in briskly,\ngood mood.]\n\nDONNA\nHi.\n\nJERRY\nOh, Miss Changstein!

So what?\n\nGEORGE\nWho wears a cape?\n\nFRANK\nHe's very independent; doesn't\nfollow the trends.\n\nESTELLE\nHe looks ridiculous in that thing..\n\nFRANK\nYou have no eye for fashion!!!\n\nESTELLE\nI have no eye for fashion?!?!?!\n\nGEORGE\nAll right! Come on!\n\nLet's not fight.\n\nFRANK and ESTELLE\n\nAll right! All right!\n\nESTELLE\nGeorgie's right.\n\nGEORGE\nSo what made you change your mind?\n\nESTELLE\nIt was that Chinese woman.\n\n[In Jerry's car. Jerry's driving,\nDONNA CHANG is with him.]\n\nJERRY\nSo I'm curious. What'd you tell\nMrs. Costanza that changed her\nmind?\n\nDONNA\nI mentioned a few bits of wisdom\nfrom Confucius.\n\nJERRY\n[pause] Confucius, huh?\n\nDONNA\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\n[pause] You know, you're not Chinese...\n\n[The Costanzas again.

This is Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nNice to meet you, Poppie.\n\nPOPPIE\nLet me show you to your table. (Leads\nJerry and Elaine to the table.) Your\nduck is cooking as we speak. It is so\nsucculent...so succulent!\n\nJERRY\nWell, Kramer told us all about your\nbusiness venture together.\n\nPOPPIE\nYour friend and I are going to make\na lot of money. Of course, I already\nhave a lot of money. Poppie does very\nwell...very well.\n\nELAINE\nWell, your mother must be very proud\nof you.\n\nPOPPIE\nMy mother...was taken from my house\nby the Communists in the middle of the\nnight when I was ten years old. She\nwas sent to a slave labor camp, where\nshe labored for twelve years. Finally,\nthey released her and she was on a boat\nto America to re-unite with us...but\nshe was served some bad fish, and she\ndied...on the high seas.\n\nJERRY\nSo, what's good tonight?\n\nCut back to George at home. His television program finishes,\nand he turns off the TV. He stretches, then goes back to reading\n- not \"Breakfast At Tiffany's\" however, but an issue of Cracked\nmagazine.\n\nCut back to Jerry and Elaine at Poppie's.\n\nELAINE\nBoy, I'm really looking forward to this\nduck. I've never had food ordered in\nadvance before.\n\nJERRY\nAh, I could've stayed home and ordered\na pizza from Paccino's.\n\nELAINE\nPaccino's? Oh no. You should never order\npizza from Paccino's.\n\nJERRY\nWhy not?\n\nELAINE\nBecause, the owner contributes a lot\nof money to those fanatical, anti-abortion\ngroups.\n\nJERRY\nSo, you won't eat the pizza?\n\nELAINE\nNo way.\n\nJERRY\nReally.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nWell, what if Poppie felt the same way?\n\nELAINE\nWell, I guess I wouldn't eat here, then.\n\nJERRY\nReally!\n\nELAINE\nYeah. That's right.\n\nJERRY\nWell, perhaps we should inquire. Poppie!\nOh, Poppie. Could I have a word? (Poppie\ncomes over.)\n\nPOPPIE\nYes, Jerry. I just checked your duck...it\nis more succulent than even I had hoped.\n\nJERRY\nPoppie, I was just curious...where do\nyou stand on the abortion issue?\n\nPOPPIE\nWhen my mother was abducted by the Communists,\nshe was with child...\n\nJERRY\nOh, boy.\n\nPOPPIE\n...but the Communists, they put an end\nto that! So, on this issue there is\nno debate! And no intelligent person\ncan think differently.\n\nELAINE\nWell...Poppie. I think differently.\n\nPOPPIE\nAnd what gives you the right to do that?\n\nELAINE\nThe Supreme Court gives me the right\nto do that! Let's go Jerry, c'mon.\n\nWOMAN AT NEXT TABLE\nI heard that. Let's go, Henry.\n\nHENRY\nBut we just got here...\n\nELAINE\nAnd I am not coming back!\n\nPOPPIE\nYou're not welcome!\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm certainly glad I brought it\nup. (Gets up and leaves.)\n\nJerry and George in a booth at the coffee shop.\n\nJERRY\nWell, you should have seen it. It was\nquite a scene over there.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sorry I missed it.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you really missed something. And\nI have to say...it was pretty much all\nmy fault. (Jerry smiles. George laughs.)\nSo, how's the book coming? (George's\nlaughs taper off...) I say, how's the\nbook comin'?\n\nGEORGE\nOh...pretty good.\n\nJERRY\nSo, what's it about?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's about Holly Go-Lightly.\n\nJERRY\nHolly Go-Lightly.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, she's quite a character.\n\nJERRY\nYes, you haven't read a page, have you?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nBig surprise.\n\nGEORGE\nI couldn't. You know, if it's not about\nsports, I find it very hard to concentrate.\n\nJERRY\nYou're not very bright, are you?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I'm not. I would like to be, but\nI'm not. What am I gonna do? The book\nclub meets in a few days.\n\nJERRY\nWhy don't you rent the movie?\n\nGEORGE\n'Why don't I rent the movie.' See, this\nis when I like you. Alright, now I'm\nrelieved. (Kramer enters and comes over\nto the booth.)\n\nKRAMER\nSo...how was the dinner last night?\n\nJERRY\nOh...well...\n\nKRAMER\nDid you enjoy the duck? (Elaine comes\nback from the bathroom.) Oh, Elaine!\nI was just asking how dinner went last\nnight.\n\nELAINE\nOh...well...\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, what did you do to Poppie?\n\nELAINE\nNothing.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, he's in the hospital. And the\ncook says you put him there.\n\nELAINE\nWhat's wrong with him?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't know! I'm gonna go and visit\nhim later. (angrily) It would be nice\nif you got him something. (Punches the\nthe table to accentuate this, and leaves.)\n\nJERRY\nWe should get him something.\n\nELAINE\nYeah. You're right.\n\nElaine and Carl sitting in carl's moving van after a date.\n\nELAINE\nDo you know that I have been using the\nsame bottle of shampoo for a year? And\nI shampoo every day. (Carl smiles.)\nSo, what do you think of my conversation?\n\nCARL\nNot much! (They both laugh.) I, uh,\nwould have invited you up, but I don't\nhave any furniture.\n\nELAINE\nYou don't have any furniture?\n\nCARL\nNo, I hate furniture. I can't look at\nit.

A bottle of wine and a\nfive-alarm chili? They're trying to\nkill Poppie?!\n\nKRAMER\nWhy, what...?\n\nPOPPIE\nDon't they know I have a gastro-intestinal\ndisorder? If I would have any of this,\nI would die. Then Poppie's no good to\nanyone! This is a sick, sick joke on\nPoppie. How could you be friends with\nthose two?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, we're not very close.\n\nPOPPIE\nThey owe me for those ducks. They were\nflown in from Newfoundland.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, they got good ducks there, huh?\n\nPOPPIE\nOh, very good ducks.\n\nElaine shows up at Jerry's apartment.

And, the best part is,\nhe doesn't play games. You know? There\nare no games! (Sits down on the couch.)\n\nJERRY\nNo games? What is the point of dating\nwithout games? How do you know if you're\nwinning or losing?\n\nELAINE\nWell, all I know is, he doesn't like\ngames and he doesn't play games, you\nknow? He has too much character and\nintegrity.\n\nJERRY\nAh ha.

Someone has it.\n\nGEORGE\nOut? Oh no, I've been to four other\nplaces, you're the only ones that have\nhad it.\n\nCLERK\nWell, I could put it on reserve for\nyou, if you'd like.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe we could call them and ask them\nto return it.\n\nCLERK\nOh, sorry. We can't do that.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, maybe they're done with it. I\ncould go pick it up.\n\nCLERK\nI don't think so.

(Joe's daughter\ncomes to the door.)\n\nJOE\nRemy, this is George. Would you mind\nif he watched Breakfast At Tiffany's\nwith us? (George smiles at Remy. Remy\nlooks at Joe doubtfully.)\n\nElaine climbs into the cab of Carl's moving van.\n\nCARL\nHi.\n\nELAINE\nHi.

(Waits\nin suspense for what Carl's response\nwill be.)\n\nCARL\nYou know, someday...we're going to get\nenough people in the Supreme Court to\nchange that law.\n\n(Elaine breaks down in tears.)\n\nGeorge sitting on Joe's couch, about to watch Breakfast At Tiffany's\nwith Joe and Remy.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, anything to uh, nosh?\n\nJOE\nWhat did you want?\n\nGEORGE\nPopcorn?\n\nREMY\nPopcorn?

Some cheese...\n\nPOPPIE\nNot too much!\n\nKRAMER\nAnd...cucumbers! (Grabs a large handful\nand puts them on the pizza.)\n\nPOPPIE\nWait a second...what is that?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's cucumbers.\n\nPOPPIE\nNo, no. You can't put cucumbers on a\npizza.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, why not? I like cucumbers.\n\nPOPPIE\nThat's not a pizza. It'll taste terrible.\n\nKRAMER\nBut that's the idea, you make your own\npie.\n\nPOPPIE\nYes, but we cannot give the people the\nright to choose any topping they want!\nNow on this issue there can be no debate!\n\nKRAMER\nWhat gives you the right to tell me\nhow I would make my pie?\n\nPOPPIE\nBecause it's a pizza!\n\nKRAMER\nIt's not a pizza until it comes out\nof the oven!\n\nPOPPIE\nIt's a pizza the moment you put your\nfists in the dough!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, it isn't!\n\nPOPPIE\nYes, it is!\n\nCut back to George, Joe and Remy watching the movie.

Of course,\nit is only useful in gymnastics.\n\nJERRY\nOh boy...\n\n(Jerry's apartment, morning)\n\nJERRY\nI couldn't believe it. Uh, I mean I\nthought I was entering a \"magical world\"\nof sensual delights, but it was just\nso ordinary.

You know that friend of\nyours, Tim the dentist? I got an invitation\nto his Thanksgiving Eve party.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I got one too.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah? Huh.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nNo, nothing.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, what is it?\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's just that I, uh...didn't get\none.\n\nGEORGE\nYou didn't get one?\n\nJERRY\nAh, but he called me up and he asked\nfor yours and Elaine's addresses, I'm\nsure that means I'm invited.\n\nKRAMER\nNot necessarily.\n\nJERRY\nHey, why would you call someone up and\nask them for two addresses if you're\nnot invited to the party?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's the genius of it.\n\nJERRY\nI'm callin' Elaine. See if she can find\nout anything from Tim Whatley.\n\nGEORGE\nHey. I got Jon Voight's LeBaron. (Jingles\nthe keys.)\n\nKRAMER\nBoss!\n\nMom and Pop talking to the electrician about the faulty wiring\nin the ceiling of the shop.\n\nPOP\nFour thousand dollars? We can't afford\nthat!\n\nELECTRICIAN\nWell I'm afraid you're gonna have to\ndo something about it, because it's\nin violation of the building code. Otherwise,\nthey're gonna close you up.\n\nPOP\nBut what if we can't pay for it?\n\nELECTRICIAN\nThen I have to report you. Otherwise,\nI lose my license. Sorry. (Exits.)\n\nPOP\n48 years, Mom! And now we have to close!\nAll because of that idiot and his bloody\nnose! (Kramer enters.)\n\nKRAMER\nAfternoon, Mom! Afternoon, Pop. You\nknow you got a crack in the sidewalk\nout there? Now, you oughta get that\nfixed.\n\n(Pop glares at Kramer angrily.)\n\nGeorge and Jerry driving along in John Voight's car. George is\nhumming the tune to \"Everybody's Talkin.'\"\n\nGEORGE\nSo?\n\nJERRY\nC'mon, put the top up, it's November!\n\nGEORGE\nI feel alive, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nLet's check out the glove box. (Opens\nthe glove compartment, takes out a pencil.)\nAh. Pencil.\n\nGEORGE\nHey...you don't think...sure, that's\nJon Voight's pencil!\n\nJERRY\nWith Jon Voight's teeth marks. (Looks\nat the owner's manual.) Owner's manual...you\nknow what? This car was owned by Jon\nVoight.\n\nGEORGE\nAh! See? I told ya.\n\nJERRY\nExcept Jon is spelled with an H. J-O-H-N.\n\nGEORGE\nSo?\n\nJERRY\nDoesn't Jon Voight spell his name J-O-N?\n\nGEORGE\nSo, what are you saying?\n\nJERRY\nNothing. I'm sure \"Jon\" probably mispelled\nhis own name. I know sometimes I spell\nJerry with a G...and an I! (Laughs uproariously.)\n\nGEORGE\nGet out of the car!\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's right, you heard me. Get out!\nYou are ruining this whole experience\nfor me!\n\nJERRY\nOh, look! There's Gregory Peck's bicycle!\n\nGEORGE\nGet out!\n\nJERRY\nAnd Barbara Mandrell's skateboard!\n\nGEORGE\nGet out!! (Jerry gets out and George\ndrives away. A couple of guys notice\nJerry in his cowboy boots.)\n\nTOUGH GUY\nHey, cowboy. Where's your horse? (Jerry\nslips and slides in his cowboy boots\nand runs away.) Yeah, you better run!\n\nCommercial break.\n\nJerry, George and Elaine at Jerry's apartment.\n\nGEORGE\nDid they take anything?\n\nJERRY\nNo, they didn't even touch me. I tripped\nbecause of these stupid cowboy boots.\n\nGEORGE\nAnyway, again, I'm sorry about throwing\nyou out of the car.\n\nJERRY\nYou really seemed to enjoy it.\n\nGEORGE\nIt was kinda fun. (Elaine gives Jerry\na cold cloth for his jaw.) You know,\nmaybe his name really is J-O-H-N, but\nhe changed it to J-O-N for show business.\nWell, you know, J-O-N is a lot zippier.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that's possible.\n\nGEORGE\nHow would you find out something like\nthat...wait a minute, what am I thinking?\nI've got the entire Yankee organization\nat my disposal.\n\nJERRY\nHe'll dispose of it.\n\nGEORGE\nHeh, that's right. See ya later. (Exits.)\n\nELAINE\nSo Jerome, I did a little snooping around\nfor you.\n\nJERRY\nAh! What'd you find out, Lois?\n\nELAINE\nWell, I talked to Tim Whatley...\n\nJERRY\nYeah...\n\nELAINE\nAnd I asked him, \"Should Jerry bring\nanything?\"\n\nJERRY\nSo...?\n\nELAINE\nMmmm...and he said, \"Why would Jerry\nbring anything?\"\n\nJERRY\nAlright, but let me ask you this question.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nWhich word did he emphasize? Did he\nsay, \"Why would Jerry bring anything?\"\nor, \"Why would Jerry bring anything?\"\nYou emphasize \"Jerry\" or \"bring.\"\n\nELAINE\nI think he emphasized \"would.\"\n\nJERRY\nYou know what? The hell with this party,\nI don't even want to go to begin with.\n(Kramer enters.)\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey, so where's my sneakers?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's what I wanna know.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I saw Mom and Pop this morning,\nbut when I went by the store on my way\nhome? The place was empty. Everything\nis gone. Mom and Pop - vrooop - vanished.\n\nJERRY\nSo all my sneakers are gone?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm afraid so. And that's just the tip\nof the iceberg. I've been asking around\n- they didn't even have any kids.\n\nJERRY\nMom and Pop aren't even a Mom and Pop?!\n\nKRAMER\nIt was all an act, Jerry. They conned\nus, and they scored, big time.\n\nELAINE\nSo. Mom and Pop's plan was to move into\nthe neighborhood...establish trust...for\n48 years. And then, run off with Jerry's\nsneakers.\n\nKRAMER\nApparently.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, that's enough of this.\n\nJERRY\nWhere ya goin'?\n\nELAINE\nI gotta go to the Dixieland Deli to\npick up Mr. Pitt's security pass for\nthe parade.\n\nJERRY\nWhy does he want to hold a rope underneath\nWoody Woodpecker in the Thanksgiving\nDay Parade?\n\nELAINE\nHe finds his laugh \"intoxicating.\" (Laughs\nlike Woody Woodpecker, and exits.)\n\nGeorge in a meeting at Yankee stadium.\n\nMR. MORGAN\nSo George, what kind of promotional\nevents are we talking about?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I think we need more special days\nat the stadium, you know? Like, uh...Joe\nPepitone Day. Or, uh...Jon Voight Day.\n\nMR. MORGAN\nJon Voight? The actor? (Rubs his eyes\nwearily.) Uh, I make a motion that we\nhave no more of these meetings that\nhave been initiated by George Costanza.\n\nGEORGE\nI suppose if I had suggested Liam Neeson\nDay, you'd all be patting me on the\nback.\n\nElaine at the Dixieland Deli, seated at a table with the other\ncontest winners.\n\nCONTEST WINNER\nI guessed Stan Herman's \"Boomtown Blues.\"\nWhat'd you guess?\n\nELAINE\nUm, it was, uh...\"Next Stop Pottersville.\"\n(The group is unimpressed.) Uh, do you\nknow when they're giving out the passes?\n\nCONTEST WINNER\nAfter the music. (The band starts playing\ndirectly behind Elaine. She is deafened\nby the loudness of the horns.)\n\nKramer walking down the street. His nose starts to bleed.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. Oh man. (Takes out a Kleenex and\nputs his head back. Jon Voight comes\nout of a doorway and hails a cab.)\n\nVOIGHT\nTaxi! (Walks right by Kramer.) Taxi.\n\nKRAMER\nHey! Jon Voight! Jon Voight! (Voight\nwaves at Kramer and hurriedly gets in\nthe cab. Kramer runs over to the car.)\nHey, listen, can I ask you something?\nListen, listen...(Leans in the the open\nback window of the cab. Defensively,\nVoight grabs Kramer's arm and bites\nit. Kramer screams. The cab speeds off\nleaving Kramer in the street, stunned.)\n\nJerry and George in Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nNo Jon Voight Day, huh?\n\nGEORGE\nNo. Now I'll always have this doubt\nabout the car. What, your jaw still\nhurts?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it's all swollen. I think I may\nhave chipped a tooth when I fell yesterday.\n\nGEORGE\nYou should have somebody take a look\nat that.\n\nJERRY\nI'm calling dentists all day here, there's\nnobody working the day before Thanksgiving.\n\nGEORGE\nYou going to the party?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't know if I'm invited.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, there's going to be a lot of dentists\nthere.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, you're right.\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't want to suffer with this all\nweekend.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I gotta see a dentist, this is\nkillin' me. Well, I'll take a chance.\nWe'll go together.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe I'll just meet you there.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't want to go with me?\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, for all I know this guy went\nout of his way to not invite you. How\nam I gonna feel if I show up with an\nuninvited, unwelcome intruder?\n\nJERRY\nThe way I feel when I go places with\nyou? (Kramer enters.) Hey, so'd you\nfind my sneakers yet?\n\nKRAMER\nNo. (To George) But I did run into somebody\nyou might be interested in, a Mr. Jon\nVoight, the actor?\n\nGEORGE\nJon Voight! Are you kiddin' me? Did\nyou talk to him?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, he was a little standoffish.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you didn't ask him about the car?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I couldn't, his cab pulled away.\nBut he did, however, make an impression\non me. (Pulls up his sleeve and shows\nGeorge his arm.) Look.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nHis tooth marks. He bit me.\n\nGEORGE\nJon Voight bit you?\n\nJERRY\nWell, what is he, a vampire?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, it's justifiable. He thought I was\ngoing for his wallet.\n\nGEORGE\nHe left perfect imprints.\n\nKRAMER\nThat he did. Now, you got that pencil\nwith the bite marks on it? We get a\ntrained eye to match 'em up, and we'll\nsee whether or not you're driving Jon\nVoight's car!\n\nJERRY\nOh, please.\n\nGEORGE\nWait a minute, wait, it's not that stupid.\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's stupid.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy? Why isn't it possible? I mean,\nthey're both bite marks.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're gonna show up at that party\nwith a chewed-up pencil and Kramer's\ngnarled arm.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's worth a shot. (Goes to the door.)\n\nJERRY\nSo, Kramer, you wanna go to the party\ntogether?\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, look, come on, I'm an invited\nguest. I can't be aiding and abetting\nsome...party-crasher.\n\nTim Whatley's party. Jerry peeks his head around the corner,\nthen slowly moves through the crowd, covering his face to keep\na low profile.\n\nJERRY\nExcuse me, uh...dentist? You a dentist?\n(The guy shakes his head. Jerry moves\non to another guy.) Dentist? Are you\na dentist?\n\nCut to George and Kramer looking at the parade out the window.\n\nGEORGE\nThese are the balloons? Big deal, all\nI see is Woody Woodpecker.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got a problem with Woody Woodpecker?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, what is he? Some sort of an instigator?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's right. He's a troublemaker.\n\n(Elaine enters the party with a trophy under her arm, and runs\ninto Jerry.)\n\nJERRY\nHey, Elaine. Did you get my message?\n\nELAINE\nWhat? I can't hear a word you're saying.\nI was stuck at the Dixieland Deli all\nday. My head is still ringing. Where's\nTim?\n\nJERRY\nWhat is that, the Empire State Building?\n\nELAINE\nWhat? I can't hear you.\n\nJERRY\nElaine, would you marry me?\n\nELAINE\nI told you, I can't hear a word.\n\nJERRY\nAlright. Forget it.\n\n(Tim gets up from the couch and meets George and Kramer.)\n\nGEORGE\nHey, Tim.\n\nTIM\nHey, George. Kramer, how ya doin.' (They\nshake hands.)\n\nGEORGE\nWatch the arm! Tim, listen, we don't\nwant to bother you, we know you're busy\nhere.\n\nTIM\nNo, it's no problem, what is it?\n\nGEORGE\nLet me show you something, take a look\nat this... (Another guy at the party\ninterrupts.)\n\nGUY\nAlright Tim, I'm gonna get goin.'\n\nTIM\nAlright, let me take down your number.\n(Grabs George's pencil, then notices\nJerry sitting on the couch.) Is that\nJerry Seinfeld?\n\nKRAMER\nHe didn't come with us. (Tim walks over\nto Jerry.)\n\nGEORGE\nUh, Tim, the pencil...\n\nTIM\nJerry.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Tim.\n\nTIM\nJerry. I didn't think you'd show.\n\nJERRY\nDid you say, \"Jerry, I didn't think\nyou'd show\" or, \"Jerry, I didn't think\nyou'd show\"? (Elaine comes over.)\n\nTIM\nElaine! Hi!\n\nELAINE\nTim.\n\nTIM\nWell. I'm really glad you came.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nTIM\nReally glad you came.\n\nELAINE\nUh huh.\n\nTIM\nListen, Elaine, I've been wanting to\nask you...would you like to go out with\nme New Years Eve? (Elaine thinks Tim\nis offering her a nut, and shakes her\nhead no. Tim, rejected, walks away.)\nThanks.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? What?\n\n(Cut to George and Kramer talking to another dentist at the party.)\n\nGEORGE\nLet me ask you something. Could you\ntell if teeth marks on someone's arm\nmatched teeth marks on a pencil?\n\nDENTIST\nIt's possible.\n\nGEORGE\nRoll up your sleeve.\n\nDENTIST\nSomebody bit you?\n\nKRAMER\nNot just someone. Jon Voight.\n\nDENTIST\nJon Voight bit you? (George notices\nTim across the room with the pencil\nin his mouth.) The pencil! Hey, hey!\nGet the pencil out of your mouth, you're\ndestroying Jon Voight's teeth marks!\n\nTIM\nThat's John Voight's pencil?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's right. I got his whole car downstairs.\n\nTIM\nAre you the one who bought his LeBaron\nconvertible?\n\nGEORGE\nYes! Yes, I'm the one! Hey! So, you\nknow Jon Voight!\n\nTIM\nYes! Yes, I went to dental school with\nhim.\n\nGEORGE\nJon Voight, the actor?\n\nTIM\nNo. The periodontist. (George snaps\nthe pencil in two.)\n\n(Cut to Jerry by the window, getting one of the dentists at the\nparty to look at his chipped tooth.)\n\nDENTIST\nCan't this wait until Monday? Come by\nmy office.\n\nJERRY\nJust a quick peek. I'm in agony.\n\nDENTIST\nAlright. Sit down.\n\nJERRY\nIt's this one here in the back. (Tilts\nhis head back, and knocks Elaine's trophy\nout the window. A loud hissing sound\nand commotion is heard from the street\nbelow. Everyone runs to the windows\nto look.)\n\nKRAMER\nOh! You popped Woody Woodpecker!\n\nTIM\nHey, who invited you, anyway? You're\na troublemaker! (Jerry nervously laughs\nlike Woody Woodpecker as the breeze\nfrom the popped balloon blows in the\nwindow.)\n\nJerry and Kramer in Jerry's apartment, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving\nDay Parade on TV.\n\nANNOUNCER ON TV\nHey, it looks like Woody Woodpecker\nis running out of air. In fact, he's\ncollapsing.\n\nKRAMER\nThose kids look pretty disappointed.\n\nJERRY\nEspecially that big kid up in the front.\n(Mr. Pitt is shown on the television,\ntrying to hold up the deflating Woody\nballoon.) How old is he? (The phone\nrings.) Hello?\n\nGUY ON PHONE\nHello, is this Jerry Seinfeld?\n\nJERRY\nYes it is.\n\nGUY ON PHONE\nYou don't know me, but a really strange\nthing happened. I was at a garage sale,\nand this old couple sold me a used pair\nof sneakers they claimed belonged to\nJerry Seinfeld, the comedian.\n\nJERRY\nCan I have the address of that garage\nsale? Okay, thank you very much. (To\nKramer) I found Mom and Pop, they're\nsellin' my sneakers!\n\nKRAMER\nWhere are they?\n\nJERRY\nParsippany, New Jersey.\n\nKRAMER\nLet's go!\n\nJERRY\nMy car's in the shop.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, how are we getting to Parsippany?\n\n(Cut to Jerry and Kramer sitting in the back of a Trailways bus,\nen route to Parsippany. Kramer's nose starts to bleed again.)\n\nKRAMER\nUh. Jerry. These nosebleeds are starting\nagain.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe we should get you to a hospital.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I ain't goin' to no Bellevue! Look\nat me, I'm fallin' apart here.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Soup.html", "text": "THE SOUP NAZI\n\nWritten by\n\nSpike Feresten\n\nGEORGE\nAll right.

Now, just back off.\n\nRAY\nBob.\n\nBOB\nJust pick it up.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat is this, huh?\n\nBOB\nYou have some kind of problem here?\nWhat is it you not understanding?\n\nWe taking the armoire and that's all there is to it. Okay?\n\nELAINE\nI mean, is he allowed to do this? It's\ndiscrimination! I'm gonna\n\ncall the states' attorney office. I really am.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, this is fabulous. My God Elaine,\nyou have to taste this.\n\nELAINE\nAll right. All right. Give me a tsate.\nMmm! Oh God, I gotta sit\n\ndown. What happened?

Nobody kisses in\n\nmy line!\n\nSHEILA\nI can kiss anywhere I want to.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nYou just cost yourself a soup!\n\nSHEILA\nHow dare you? Come on, Jerry, we're\nleaving. Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nDo I know you?\n\nELAINE\nSo, essentially, you chose soup over\na woman?\n\nJERRY\nIt was a bisque.\n\nELAINE\nYeah. You know what I just realized?\nSuddenly, George has become\n\nmuch more normal than you.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Come on. I mean, think about it.\nHe's engaged to be married.\n\nYour top priority is soup.\n\nJERRY\nHave you tastes the soup?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. All right. You made the right\ndecision.\n\nJERRY\nSee, the way I figure it, it's much\neasier to patch things up with\n\nSheila than with the Soup Nazi.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nOh, thanks.\n\nELAINE\nThere he is.\n\nKRAMER\nElaine, I'm really sorry about the armoire.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.

Hup!\n\nJERRY\nHey, have you noticed George is acting\na little strange lately?\n\nELAINE\nNo. In what way?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. A lot of attitude, like\nhe's better than me, or\n\nsomething.\n\nELAINE\nI don't think George has ever thought\nhe's better than anybody.\n\nGEORGE\nHello.\n\nJERRY\nHello.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nGEORGE\nHello.\n\nELAINE\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\nWere you just talking about me? What's\ngoing on?\n\nJERRY\nAbsolutely not.\n\nGEORGE\nSomething's going on here.\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, (claps hands) I'm gonna go\nget some soup.\n\nELAINE\nOne of these days that guy is gonna\nget his.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, how was the movie?\n\nJERRY\nAw, we didn't go.

Why should I be happy?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know, but you look like you're\nhappy.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy should I care?\n\nJERRY\nYou can't fool me. Don't insult me,\nGeorge because I know when\n\nyou're happy.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right. I am happy, and I'll tell\nya why -- because the two of\n\nyou were making me and every one of your friends sick! Right,\nElaine?\n\n(Elaine sneaks out of Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nIs that so?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Yeah. With all that kissing and\nthe shmoopy, shmoopy,\n\nshmoopy, shmoopy, shmoopy out in public like that. It's disgusting!\n\nJERRY\nDisgusting?\n\nGEORGE\nPeople who do that should be arrested.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I guess I have all the more reason\nto get back with her.\n\nGEORGE\nYe - yeah. And we had a pact, you know.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nYou shook my hand in that coffee shop.\n\nJERRY\nYou're still with the pact?\n\nGEORGE\nMmm-hmm. You reneged.\n\nJERRY\nAll I did was shake your hand.\n\nGEORGE\nAh-ha!\n\nKRAMER\nAnd then they just ran off with the\narmoire, just like that.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nOhh! This city.\n\nNEWMAN\nOne large jambalaya, please.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nSo, continue.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, my friend is awful disappointed\nis all. You know, she's very\n\nemotional.\n\nNEWMAN\nThank you. (inhaling deeply) Jambalaya!\n\nSOUP NAZI\nAll right, now listen to me. You have\nbeen a good friend. I have\n\nan armoire in my basement. If you want to pick it up, you're\nwelcome\n\nto it.

That is right.\n\nKRAMER\nYou demand perfection from yourself,\nfrom your soup.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nHow can I tolerate any less from my\ncustomer?\n\nCUSTOMER\nUh, gazpacho, por favor.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nPor favor?\n\nCUSTOMER\nUm, I'm part Spanish.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nAdios muchacho!\n\nKRAMER\nGit.\n\nJERRY\nIt was stupid of me.\n\nSHEILA\nWell, it was very insulting.\n\nJERRY\nNo. I know. I - I was really sort of\nhalf-kidding.\n\nSHEILA\nWell, behind every joke there's some\ntruth.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about that Bavarian cream pie joke\nI told you? There's no truth\n\nto that. Nobody with a terminal illness goes from the United\nStates\n\nto Europe for a piece of Bavarian cream pie and then when they\nget\n\nthere and they don't have it he says \" Aw, I'll just have some\n\ncoffee.\" There's no truth to that.\n\nSHEILA\nWell, I guess you're right.\n\nJERRY\nSo, am I forgiven, shmoopy?\n\nSHEILA\nYes, shmoopy.\n\nJERRY\nAw!\n\nSUSAN\nHey, Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi Susan, George.

Well -- So, uh, sit on the same\nside at a booth, huh?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. That's right. You got a problem?\n\nGEORGE\nI, uh, just think it's a little unusual.\nTwo people to sit on one\n\nside...and leave the other side empty.\n\nJERRY\nWell, we're changing the rules.\n\nGEORGE\nAhh. Good for you.\n\nSUSAN\nAw, what are you getting George?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know, honey. What do you want\nto get?

You want a little\n\ntuna fishy?\n\nSHEILA\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nYum yum little tuna fishy?\n\nGEORGE\nCome here.\n\n(George & Susan begin making out; Jerry & Sheila begin making\nout in order\n\nto keep up)\n\nKRAMER\nAnd..voila!\n\nELAINE\n(gasps)\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nOh!

Wha --\n\nYeah. He's a wonderful man.\n\nELAINE\n(gasps)\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Well, a little bit misunderstood\nbut, uh....\n\nELAINE\nWell, I'm just gonna go down there and\npersonally thank him. I\n\nmean, I had this guy all wrong. This is wonderful!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Well, he's a dear.\n\nGEORGE\nHow much tip do you leave on $8.15?\n\nSUSAN\nYou know sweetie, I just want you to\nknow that I was so proud of you\n\ntoday expressing your feelings so freely in front of Jerry and\nall.\n\nJust knowing that you're not afraid of those things is such a\ngreat step\n\nforward in our relationship.\n\nGEORGE\nHuh?\n\nSUSAN\n(in babying voice) Because you love\nyour little kiki don't you?\n\nCUSTOMER\nHow is he today?\n\nBANIA\nI think he's in a good mood.\n\nELAINE\nHi. You know, Kramer gave me the armoire\nand it is so beautiful.\n\nI'm mean, I just can't tell you how much I appreciate it.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nYou? If I knew it was for you, I never\nwould have given it to\n\nhim in the first place! I would have taken a hatchet and smashed\nit\n\nto pieces! Now, who wants soup? Next! Speak up!\n\nJERRY\nI'm heading over to Elaine's.\n\nKRAMER\nOh.

That's them.\n\nJERRY\nWell, let's confront 'em.\n\nKRAMER\nNo. No. No. No. Let's get a cop.\n\nJERRY\nThere's no cops around. They're gonna\nleave. Come on.\n\nKRAMER\nNo!\n\nJERRY\nLet's go.\n\nBOB\nOh, wow look, that one is gorgeous.\nI would just kill for that one.\n\nRAY\nOh, not in blue. Blue does not go with\nall.\n\nBOB\nOh, please. Do you know what you're\ntalking about? Because I don't\n\nthink you know what you're talking about. Take a look at that.\n\nKRAMER\nExcuse me.\n\nRAY\nAre you talking to me?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, well, uh, we --\n\nRAY\nI said, are you talking to me?\n\nBOB\nWell, maybe, he was talking to me. Was\nyou talking to him? Because you\n\nwas obviously talking to one of us. So what is it? Who?! Who\nwas you\n\ntalking to?!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, wha -- I, uh -- uh, we were kind\nof, uh, talking to each\n\nother, weren't we?\n\n(Jerry & Kramer turn around and run away)\n\nELAINE\nI mean, you know, I've never been so\ninsulted in my entire life.\n\nThere's something really wrong with this man.

Don't you\nsee? I could give these to\n\nevery restaurant in town. I could have 'em published! I could\n- I could\n\ndrop fliers from a plane above the city.\n\nJERRY\nWait a second, Elaine. Where do you\nthink you're going?\n\nELAINE\nWhat do you care?\n\nJERRY\nElaine, I don't want you causing any\ntrouble down at that soup\n\nstand.

He's moving out of the country,\nmoving to Argentina! No more soup, Jerry!\nNo more soup for any of us!\n\nJERRY\nWell, where are you going?\n\nNEWMAN\nHe's giving away what's left!

That's girls stuff.\n\nKRAMER\nNo no, look. I'll tell you what -- they're\nhaving a sale right.\n\nELAINE\nyeah.\n\nKRAMER\nI'll meetcha down there, well have lunch.\n\nELAINE\nWell we could ...\n\nKRAMER\nWell, we'll get to know each other.\nWe never get to spend any\n\ntime together. Oh sure we have our little group here, but ...\n(he looks\n\nand gestures out towards George and Jerry, as Elaine walks back\ninto\n\nthe bedroom to change out of the dress -- Kramer scratches his\nhead in\n\nsort of disbelief)\n\nDaylight exterior shot of Yankee Stadium, then to George Costanza's\n\noffice, he stands in front of a wall calendar, as Ade, his new\nsecretary\n\ntakes down notes as to what George is saying.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd then assuming the strike is resolved,\non April 14th, we, ah,\n\nplay the Angels. So let's clear a floor at the Anaheim Hotel.\n\nADE\nAnaheim Hotel. (George picks up a container\nof chinese food from\n\nthe credenza) You may want to reconsider. I believe they only\nhave\n\nroom service until 10 P.M. and then it's only finger foods.\n\nGEORGE\nAde, you're a wonder. (he he -- george\nlaughs)\n\nADE\nOK, now I projected some of those figures\nfor you regarding the\n\nswitch to Canola oil for the stadium popcorn and surprisingly\nit will\n\nonly come to 1/2 a cent more per bag, so it is definitely doable.\n\nGEORGE\nAde, I have to tell you, I, I have never\nmet anybody so ...\n\nefficient.\n\nADE\nWell thank you, I'm flattered.\n\nGEORGE\nI mean you're just, you're just a marvel\nof organization.\n\nADE\nWell I'm just, hm, doing my job.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's like I'm thinking of something,\nand you're (snaps fingers)\n\none step ahead of me.\n\nADE\nWhat can I say? I'm ... I'm good at\nwhat I do. (smiling and\n\nquietly laughing proudly)\n\nGEORGE\n(coyly, he looks down and runs his finger\nalong the top of the\n\nchair back in front of him) Do you, uh ... do you know what I'm\n...\n\nthinking about now?\n\nADE\n(thinking about the question, she stops\nwriting) Yes, I think I\n\ndo. (she turns her head slowly and looks directly at him)\n\nGEORGE\nIs it, uh, doable?\n\nADE\nIt's definitely doable.\n\n(Ade throws her note pad and pencil in to the air, along with\nher\n\nglasses. George grabs his glasses and takes them from his face\nand\n\nthrows them on the couch as he and Ade embrace in a frantic kiss\nand\n\nslither down to the floor between the desk and the couch -- the\ncamera\n\ncannot see them on the floor)\n\nOutside a movie theater (The Paragon) Jerry and Elaine have exited\nthe\n\ntheater and are walking slowly and then stop to talk, as other\nmovie\n\ngoers leave the theater behind them - in the background, there\nis a line\n\nof people waiting to buy tickets for the next show.\n\nJERRY\nWell, that was the worst.\n\nELAINE\nI can't believe they made the Wife the\nkiller. (putting on\n\ngloves) Gimme a break.\n\nMAN\n(waiting in line for tickets, he overhears\nElaine) Hey, give us a\n\nbreak. We haven't seen it yet. Thanks a lot big mouth!\n\nANOTHER MAN\n(waiting in line, closer to the box\noffice) Yeah! (in\n\nagreement with the other guy)\n\n(Kramer rushes up to Elaine and Jerry)\n\nKRAMER\nYou got a pen?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I think I do.\n\nKRAMER\nAnd I need something to write on.\n\nJERRY\nWell, all I got is my dry-cleaning stub.\n\nKRAMER\nI gust met Uma Therman. She's giving\nme her telephone number.\n\nUma Jerry, Uma.\n\nJERRY\nUma Therman? Really?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nHow'd you manage that.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah well I don't have any time to talk\nnow. (he rushes back\n\ninto the theater)\n\nJERRY\nHe's got the Kavorca. (looking towards\nthe theater door, Jerry\n\nnotices one of the movie goers) Hey, isn't that Willie, my dry-cleaner?\n\nELAINE\nWhere?\n\nJERRY\nHe just went in. You know, I think he\nwas wearing my\n\nHounds-Tooth jacket.\n\nELAINE\nWhat would he be doing wearing your\njacket?\n\nJERRY\nIt looked just like the jacket I brought\nin to be dry-cleaned.\n\nHe complimented me on it.\n\nELAINE\nAre you sure?\n\n(Kramer walks up, smiling gleefully)\n\nKRAMER\nI got it. Uma, Uma, Uma. (looking at\nthe ticket)\n\nELAINE\nYou are amazing.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, all right. Taxi's on me. (he walks\noff camera)\n\nExterior shot of Yankee Stadium at dusk and then to George Costanza's\n\noffice. (moaning) George and Ade are struggling to kneel and\nundress\n\nwhile kissing.\n\nADE\nAh no no no no no. A better way to reach\nthe bra would be to undo\n\nthe jacket, then go around the back of the shirt.\n\nGEORGE\nAde you are incredible\n\n(as he unbuttons her jacket, they fall to the floor again --\nthe camera\n\ncannot see them between the desk and the couch -- we see over\nGeorge's\n\ndesk, keyboard, manila folders and then we see Ade's shoe in\nthe air\n\nabove the desk)\n\nADE\nOh ...oh ...oh ... Here, I want to show\nyou something. Hand me\n\nthat pillow.\n\n(we see George's head and arm above the desk ridge, he grabs\na pillow\n\nfrom the couch and hands it to Ade. Her arm pulls him back down\nto her\n\non the ground)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? Oh, My God!\n\nADE\nMr. CO STAN ZA!\n\nGEORGE\nAde, ahh, ahh, ah ... I'm giving you\na raise!\n\nExterior shot of the restaurant (Monks) then inside. George and\nJerry\n\nare sitting in the normal booth.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're having sex and then all of\na sudden, you just blurt out\n\n\"I'm giving you a raise.\"\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nJust a quick sidebar here -- are you\nin anyway authorized to give\n\nraises?\n\nGEORGE\nNot that I'm aware of, no.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're so grateful to have sex, that\nyou'll just shout out\n\nanything that comes into your head.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't think ahead.\n\nJERRY\nWell maybe she'll just think it was\nbawdy talk.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't say any other bawdy things.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe you could have sex with her again\nand then take it back.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, you know you're not any help\nat all here. I don't\n\nknow what even the point is of talking to you anymore.\n\n(they stand up from their seats at the booth)\n\nJERRY\nAll right, all right. I'm sorry.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, well, I guess the only thing I\ncan do is go into George\n\nSteinbrenner's office and tell him he has to give her a raise.\n\nJERRY\nHow long has she been there?\n\nGEORGE\n3 days.\n\nJERRY\nIt's almost a week.\n\n(Jerry picks up several items of clothing from the booth, in\ntheir\n\ndry-cleaning bags -- He is wearing his Hounds-Tooth jacket. George\nand\n\nJerry walk over to the cash register to pay for lunch. At the\nregister,\n\nJerry reaches into his Hounds-Tooth jacket pocket, he pulls out\na movie\n\nstub)\n\nJERRY\nOh, My god.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nIt's a movie stub from the 9:30 show.\nGeorge, I think Willie the\n\ndry-cleaner has been wearing my clothes.\n\nCommercial\n\nExterior shot of Barney's department store, street scene with\nstore\n\nwindows. Then inside to Elaine, Kramer and the Barney's sales\n\nassociate -- they stand in the women's clothing dept. (Zelda\nis the name\n\nof the clothing line on the wall), outside of the dressing room\narea.\n\nElaine is wearing the dress she plans on returning.\n\nELAINE\nThese mirrors are skinny mirrors. This\nis false ...\n\nreflecting. And I think, that the department of ... you know,\nwhatever,\n\nwould be very interested to know what's going on here.\n\nsomething else.\n\nELAINE\nOK fine. (smiling) I did like that little\nCalvin Klein number\n\nright by the elevator. You know the little ... (motions in the\n\ndirection of the elevator)\n\nELAINE\nOk thanks so much. (the Barney's sales\nassociate turns and walks\n\naway. Elaine turns to Kramer as he admires himself in the mirror)\nWhat\n\nare you all dressed up for?\n\nKRAMER\nWell Elaine, when you're shopping on\nMadison Avenue, you don't\n\nwant to skip on the, swank.\n\nELAINE\nI like your little bag.\n\nKRAMER\nHuh, oh hey, look at this. (he pulls\na little tube out of the\n\nbag) It's the super hydrating, triple-action moisturizer, hmm.\n\nELAINE\nHuh.\n\n(Kramer opens the moisturizer and squeezes some onto his palm)\n\nKRAMER\nWait till that Uma smells this Uva.\n\n(Elaine walks away into the dressing from area. Kenny Bania enters\nthe\n\nclothing dept.)\n\nBANIA\nHey Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nHey Bania, what's happening? (Kramer,\nlooking into the mirror,\n\nis putting moisturizer under his eyes)\n\nBANIA\nI'm looking for a new suit. I can't\nfind anything I like.\n\nThat's a nice suit. (admiring Kramer's suit)\n\nKRAMER\nWell, thank you.\n\nBANIA\nDid you get that here?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, this is vintage. They don't make\nthis stuff anymore.\n\nBANIA\nYou're telling me.\n\nKRAMER\nI sure am.\n\nBANIA\nIt's hard for me to find pants that\n--\n\nKRAMER\n(interrupting Bania) That don't make\nyou look high-waisted.\n\nBANIA\nYes\n\nKRAMER\nMe too.\n\nBANIA\nWhat size are you?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, 42.\n\nBANIA\n42, That's what I am now. I've been\nworking out, I'm huge.\n\nHow'd you like to sell it?\n\nKRAMER\nmake me an offer.\n\nBANIA\n100 Bucks\n\nKRAMER\nSurely you jest. (walks away from Bania)\n\nBANIA\n175\n\nKRAMER\nLook at the stitching (takes the jacket\noff to show Bania) This\n\nis old world craftsmanship.\n\nBANIA\n300 dollars.\n\nKRAMER\nSold. Follow me into the dressing room.\n\nBANIA\nYou throw the shirt in?\n\nKRAMER\nBania, you're killing me.\n\nBANIA\nHey that's the women's dressing room.\n\nKRAMER\nThere's nothing in there that I haven't\nseen before.\n\nDaylight exterior shot of Yankee Stadium (Louisville Slugger)\nthen to\n\nGeorge Steinbrenner's office. The camera is behind Steinbrenner,\n\nlooking towards the door.\n\nGEORGE\n(Opens the door, looks in and then knocks\n5 times) Mr.\n\nSteinbrenner, (waves) can I talk to you for a second?\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nYes yes George. Can you talk to me for\na second? Of\n\ncourse you can -- I'm a very accessible man. I just wanted to\nsay\n\nyou're doing great work on that Canola oil stuff.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you know, to be honest sir --\nmy, my new secretary Ade,\n\ncame up with that one.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nAde, Ade, I like that name George.\n\nGEORGE\nShe supports her whole family. (walking\nslowly into the room)\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nIs that a fact George?\n\nGEORGE\nYes, In fact, her mother is in the hospital\nright now. It's\n\nsome kind of a Diverticulitis. (he continues walking slowly towards\n\nSteinbrenner's desk)\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nI had a bout of that myself one time\n-- knocked me right\n\non my ass.\n\nGEORGE\nShe can't even afford to go out to lunch.\nShe's been eating in\n\na high school cafeterias She pretends to be a teacher. It's pathetic.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nWhat's that cost her, like, two and\na quarter? ($2.25)\n\nGEORGE\nYou know what I was just thinking --\nshe could really use a\n\nraise.\n\n(Telephone rings -- Steinbrenner reaches for the receiver)\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nYou know, she'd be better off making\na sandwich at home\n\nand bringing it in. (picks up the telephone hand set) Hello,\nah, George\n\nwill you excuse me.\n\nDaylight exterior shot of Barney's department store windows,\nwith\n\ntraffic driving by -- then to Elaine in the dressing room --\nshe is\n\nalmost done dressing in the Calvin Klein dress.\n\nKramer climbs up the wall of his dressing room adjacent to Elaine's\n--\n\nwe see his head, top of his bare chest, arm and both hands over\nthe top\n\nof Elaine's' dressing room wall -- he is looking down at her.\n\nKRAMER\nPsst. Hey.\n\n(Elaine is startled and tries to cover her top, which is mostly\ncovered\n\nfrom the dress she is putting on)\n\nELAINE\nKramer, what are you doing here?\n\nKRAMER\nListen, I need you to get me some clothes.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I just sold my suit to Bania for\na cool three-hundred.\n\nELAINE\nSo go buy a new one.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat, at this place? It would destroy\nmy whole profit margin.\n\nELAINE\nSo.\n\nKRAMER\nListen do me a favor -- just call Jerry,\ntell him to bring me\n\nsome clothes.\n\nELAINE\nOuhhh (Kramer disappears back behind\nhis wall as Elaine opens\n\nthe dressing room door)\n\nExterior shot of the Dry Cleaners store front, then to the interior\n--\n\nJerry enters as a female customer is leaving the counter with\nher\n\ndry-cleaning .\n\nJERRY\nHello, Willie.\n\nWILLIE\nHey, Jerry. You dropping off?\n\nJERRY\nNo, but ah, seen any good movies lately?\n\nWILLIE\nYou came by to ask that?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Specifically 9:30 shows. Seen\nany good 9:30 shows at the\n\nParagon, Willie?\n\nWILLIE\nWhat are you gettin at?\n\nJERRY\nI saw you the other night stepping out\nwith my Hounds-Tooth\n\njacket.\n\nWILLIE\nJerry that's a breach of the dry-cleaner's\ncode.\n\nJERRY\nYou need a code to tell you not to wear\npeoples' clothes\n\nWILLIE\nI wasn't wearing your jacket. Jerry\nyou're imagining things.\n\n(he makes the circular motion next to his ears - the international\n\nsymbol for \"insane\")\n\nJERRY\nYeahhh, am I imagining this? (he whips\nout the movie stub and\n\nholds it up to Willie) Found this little cutie in the pocket.\n(throws\n\nthe stub on the counter)\n\nWILLIE\nJerry.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, Yeah. Well, now that we understand\neach other -- I'll be\n\ntaking my business elsewhere. And I want my mother's fur coat\nback too.\n\nWILLIE\nJerry, come on.\n\nJERRY\nNow.\n\nWILLIE\nNow? (Willie looks off with his eyes\nto his left -- he is\n\nthinking about his wife Donna)\n\n(Shot of Donna wearing the fur coat, standing at a hot dog stand,\neating\n\na hot dog)\n\nJERRY\nYeah. I want that coat. (Jerry opens\nhis wallet, looking for\n\nthe dry-cleaning ticket)\n\nWILLIE\nWell ... ahh. (apprehensively)\n\nJERRY\nWhere's that ticket? Oh, Kramer.\n\nWILLIE\nWait, you, you mean to tell me you don't\nhave a ticket for the\n\ncoat?\n\nJERRY\nNo, not on me.\n\nWILLIE\nWell, I, I need to see that ticket.\n\nJERRY\nWhy? I've got my cleaning before without\na ticket.\n\nWILLIE\nYeah, but this is different. Those fur\nstorage warehouses are\n\nhuge. You can't, get anything without a number.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, I'll be back.\n\nElaine inside Barney's, she stands in front of a full length\nmirror.\n\nThe sales associate behind her, giving advice on the dress.\n\nELAINE\nYeah it looks good here, but what does\nthat mean?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know, I have to think about\nit. (the sales associate\n\nwalks away) I need a nonpartisan mirror.\n\n(Elaine looks around, like she is trying not to be noticed and\nwalks out\n\nof the clothing dept.)\n\nDaytime exterior of Yankee Stadium, then inside to George Costanza's\n\noffice.\n\nADE\nI can't thank you enough, Mr. Costanza.\nI'm so grateful\n\nGEORGE\nYes, well, I sat down with Mr. Steinbrenner.\nI told him you\n\nhave been doing great work. I said that you deserved a raise,\nand if\n\nyou didn't get it, that I, was leaving. (motions with both arms\nin a\n\ncircular motion to his right)\n\nADE\nIt was just so generous.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, well, don't worry about it -- he's\ngot plenty of money.\n\n(spins his chair away from her)\n\nADE\nOh I know, but Twenty Five Thousand.\n\nGEORGE\n(spins his chair back to face her) So\nyou got a $25,000 a year\n\nraise.\n\nADE\nYes, I tell you, Mr. Steinbrenner...\n\nGEORGE\nYou're making more than I am.\n\nADE\nI am?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you doing? You're making more\nthan I am. A secretary\n\ncannot make more than her boss.\n\nADE\nWell apparently they can.\n\nElaine, in the Calvin Klein dress, is walking outside along the\n\nsidewalk, snow along the curb and store fronts -- It's obvious\nshe is\n\ncold without a coat. She checks out her reflection in a florist's\n\nwindow, then stops at the Love, Health & Beauty Aids store, where\nthe\n\nreflection is more like a mirror in the alcove of the store.\n\nELAINE\nOh, this is insanity. I'm not this hippie.\n(meaning her hips\n\nare not that large)\n\n(a man exits the store)\n\nELAINE\nHey, what do you think of this?\n\nMAN\n(with disbelief): You'll never pull\nit off.\n\nBarney's Department store, inside the dressing room area, a customer\n\nknocks on the door where Kramer is waiting for Jerry.\n\nFEMALE CUSTOMER\nHey, what's going on in there?\n\n(Jerry enters the women's clothing dept.)\n\nJERRY\n(to the Barney's sales associate) Excuse\nme, could you tell me\n\nwhere I could find, like, women's moisturizer lotions?\n\n(Female customer walks up to the Barney's sales associate that\nJerry was\n\njust talking to)\n\nFEMALE CUSTOMER\nThis woman has been in there for over\nan hour.\n\n(The Barney's sales associate walks into the dressing room area\nand up\n\nto the dressing room door where Kramer is waiting for Jerry)\n\nKRAMER\n(Yeah) (through the door)\n\n(Jerry hears Kramer and walks into the dressing room door)\n\nJERRY\nKramer?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, Jerry, you got my clothes?\n\nJERRY\nWhat clothes?\n\nKRAMER\nDidn't Elaine call you?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nWell what are you doing here?\n\nJERRY\nWhat am I doing here? You're in the\nwomen's dressing room. I\n\nneed that ticket stub back so I can get my mother's fur coat\nout.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, the stub, yeah. I left it in my,\nmy pants\n\nJERRY\nWhere are your pants?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I sold them to Bania.\n\nJERRY\nWhat? You sold your pants to Bania.\nLet me in.\n\n(Kramer opens the door, Jerry goes in the dressing room. Kramer\nis\n\nstanding there in his white boxer shorts and no shirt)\n\nJERRY\nWhy'd you sell your pants to Bania?\n\nKRAMER\nouhhh -- I had Uma Therman's number\nwritten on that stub. I\n\nlost Uma's number.\n\nJERRY\nWhere are your clothes?\n\nKRAMER\nI told you I sold them to Bania.\n\nJERRY\nYou mean what you were wearing?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nHow'd you expect to get out of here?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I didn't think ahead.\n\n(Elaine reenters the Barney's clothing dept., rubbing her arms\nbecause\n\nhe is cold. The sales associate is also coming back from the\ndressing\n\nrooms. Elaine sees her, and quickly stands next to the register\ncounter\n\nand tries to act like she has been there for a while.)\n\nELAINE\nThis isn't going to work for me ...\nso if you could show me\n\nsomething else.\n\nELAINE\nNo?\n\nELAINE\nI am?\n\nELAINE\nHa! That's preposterous.\n\nsnow in the store.\n\n(Elaine looks down and gathers the dress at the salt stain)\n\nELAINE\nNo. You can wrap it. (Dejected. Elaine\nputs her head down and\n\nher hand to her forehead as she walks into the dressing room\narea)\n\nKramer, are you still in there?\n\nJERRY\n(Elaine)\n\nELAINE\nJerry?\n\n(Bania enters the dressing room area)\n\nBANIA\nElaine, where's Kramer?\n\nKRAMER\nBania?\n\nBANIA\nKramer.\n\nJERRY\nI'm going out. (he comes out of the\ndressing room, while Kramer\n\nremains inside)\n\nBANIA\nJerry.\n\nJERRY\nBania.\n\nBANIA\nKramer, I want my money back for this\nsuit. You're nancy-boy\n\ncream leaked all over the pockets -- Suits ruined.\n\nKRAMER\nWell you're not getting any money back.\n(Kramer opens the\n\ndoor) Jerry, come back in here.\n\nJERRY\n(to Bania) Excuse me. (he goes back\nin the dressing room)\n\nKRAMER\nUma's number is on that ticket.\n\nJERRY\nNever mind Uma, I need that ticket to\nget my mother's fur coat\n\nback. Why don't you just give him the money for the suit?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm not going to give him $300 now for\na suit with moisturizer\n\ncream all over it.\n\nJERRY\nI got an idea.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe I'm gonna do this. (Jerry\nopens the door and\n\nexits the dressing room. He walks over to Bania)\n\nJERRY\nBania can I talk to you for a second?\nHow's everything going?\n\nBANIA\nPretty good.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well, see the thing of it is,\nI'm in a bit of an awkward\n\nposition here. Because, uhh, I don't want to get in between you\ntwo\n\nguys but ... I need a dry-cleaning ticket that's in the pocket\nof those\n\npants.\n\nBANIA\nWell all you gotta do is tell Kramer\nto give me my money back,\n\nand you'll get your ticket.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, yeah all right, well uh ... tell\nyou what I will do Bania\n\n-- you give me the ticket, and uh, I will take you out for a\nnice\n\ndinner.\n\nBANIA\nCan we go back to Mendy's?\n\nJERRY\nYou want to go to Mendy's, I'll take\nyou to Mendy's.\n\nBANIA\nTwice? I wanna go twice.\n\nJERRY\nall right let's be reasonable, Bania.\nI'm taking you out for a\n\nnice dinner. All I want is a little ticket in that pocket. I\nthink\n\nit's a pretty good deal.\n\nBANIA\nTwo Mendy's.\n\nJERRY\n... All right (gritting teeth) Just\ngive me the ticket.\n\nBANIA\nHere you go.\n\nJERRY\nOhh ... (takes the ticket and heads\nfor the dressing room)\n\nExterior of yankee Stadium (Louisville Slugger) then to George\n\nSteinbrenner's office. George Costanza stands pleading his case.\n\nGEORGE\nBut Mr. Steinbrenner, how can I be expected\nto perform my job\n\nproperly, knowing that my uh, subordinate is making more money\nthan I\n\nam? With all due respect sir, it's outta whack.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nUh huh, I understand what you're saying\nGeorge and I know\n\nwhat it's like to be financially strapped. When I was a young\nman in\n\nCleveland I use to hitchhike to work. One time I got picked up\nby a\n\nbakery truck. You think that stuff smells good? Try being cooped\nup in\n\nthe back of one of those babies.\n\n(George starts to back away from the desk)\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nI couldn't look at a donut for the next\ntwo years. Well\n\nnot that I was ever one for the sweets.\n\n(George turning around, nodding and making hand gestures, walking\nslowly\n\ntowards the door, his hand gestures get progressively wider eventually\n\nto full arms extended upwards)\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nSure I like a cup cake every now and\nthen, like everybody\n\nelse. You know I like it when they have a little cream on the\ninside,\n\nit's a surprise. That's good, plus the chocolate ones are good\ntoo.\n\nSometimes I just can't even make up my mind. A lot of times I'll\nmix\n\nthe two together, make a vanilla fudge.\n\nJerry stands outside the Barney's dressing room door that Kramer\nis\n\nwaiting in. Jerry quickly knocks on the door.\n\nJERRY\nLet me in, it's me. (Kramer opens the\ndoor, Jerry goes in the\n\ndressing room) Here. You don't know what this is costing me.\n(hands\n\nKramer the ticket)\n\nKRAMER\n(closes the door) All right, nice work.\n(he looks at the ticket,\n\nflips it over, and then over again) Where's Uma's number? The\n\nmoisturizer smudged out the phone number.\n\nJERRY\n(Takes the ticket back and looks at\nit, flips it over) The\n\ndry-cleaning numbers are gone too.\n\nKRAMER\n(grabs the ticket back and holds it\nup to the light) It must\n\nhave been the botanical extracts.\n\nJERRY\n(grabs the ticket back) Give me that.\n\n(Jerry Opens the door and walks into the clothing dept., while\nBania is\n\nwalking towards the exit of the clothing dept.)\n\nJERRY\nHey Bania, the dinners off. The ticket's\nno good. The numbers\n\nare all smudged out. (holds out the ticket and hands it to Bania)\n\nBANIA\n(looking at the ticket then quickly\nlooks up at Jerry) You trying\n\nto get out of Mendy's? you can't do that.\n\nJERRY\nThe ticket is worthless.\n\nBANIA\nYou promised me.\n\n(Jerry makes a smudged up face -- he knows he cannot get out\nof the\n\ndeal. Bania turns and walks quickly out of the clothing department.\n\nJerry sees a woman from the back walking into the dressing room\narea.\n\nShe has a fur coat on and is carrying a few items over her arm\nto try\n\non)\n\nJERRY\nHey, Isn't that my mother's fur coat?\n\n(Elaine stands at the register counter, now she wears her own\nclothes.\n\nThe Calvin Klein dress rests across the counter -- she watches\nas Jerry\n\nfollows the woman into the dressing room area. Jerry stands in\nfront of\n\nthe door where she went into, listens for a half second and then\npushes\n\nthe door open, as she has not had an opportunity to latch it\nyet -- It\n\nis Donna, the dry-cleaners wife -- she is stunned, startled and\ntaken\n\naback ...)\n\nDONNA\nNo it's not. (the coat)\n\nJERRY\nIt is! (Jerry walks forcefully into\nthe dressing room and closes\n\nthe door) Give me that back.\n\nDONNA\nNo, what are you talking about.\n\n(The camera pans down to the bottom of the dressing room door,\nso all\n\nyou see is Jerry and Donna's scuffling feet and lower legs, as\nJerry\n\ntakes the coat from her.)\n\nDONNA\nAre you out of your mind? Don't you\n... take your hands ...\n\nJERRY\nYou can't have that coat, it's not yours.\n\n(Donna opens the door -- the camera pans back up to eye level\nas she\n\nwalks out, kind of indignant. She places her long purse strap\nover her\n\nLeft shoulder)\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you think the dry-cleaner's\nis your own personal closet!\n\n(Donna walks over to where Elaine is still standing at the register\n\ncounter)\n\nCONTINUITY ERROR -- AS SHE WALKS UP TO ELAINE, DONNA IS NOW\nHOLDING\n\nher long purse strap in her right hand only, then switches it\nto her\n\nleft hand and puts the strap over her left shoulder. The purse\nhangs\n\nbelow her left hip. She just had placed the long purse strap\nover her\n\nSHOULDER AS SHE LEFT THE DRESSING ROOM AREA WALKING AWAY FROM\nJERRY.\n\nELAINE\nDonna, do you think you can get the\nsalt stain out of this?\n\n(Holding the bottom of the Calvin Klein dress out)\n\nDONNA\nLet me see. (Looking at the stain) Piece\nof cake. Bring it\n\nin. (Holding the dress up by the hanger) What size is it?\n\nELAINE\n(Tilts her head down, looking over her\nglasses in amazement of\n\nDonna's question)\n\nThe camera fades from the previous scene to the winter sidewalk\noutside.\n\nL-R Kramer, Elaine and Jerry walk silently in the cold. Above\ntheir\n\nheads in the background is a sign that reads \"KalSigns\" -- I\nbelieve\n\nthis is an homage to Jerry's (real life) father that owned a\nsign\n\ncompany.\n\nKramer is wearing Jerry's mother's fur coat. It is obviously\ntoo small\n\nfor his large frame -- the arms are way too short. The coat comes\ndown\n\nto his mid thigh. He has no pants on. He wears shoes and white\nsocks.\n\nHe looks ridiculous, uncomfortable and cold.\n\nElaine is wearing a long winter overcoat, carrying her Calvin\nKlein\n\ndress in a garment bag over her left arm. Jerry has both hands\nin the\n\npockets of his winter jacket he is wearing a scarf that he had\non\n\nearlier in the store.\n\nKramer looks around as he walks along. He tries to button or\nclose up\n\nthe coat to the best of his ability, but nothing changes. As\nthe scene\n\nends, the fur coat opens slightly at the bottom and you can see\nhis\n\nwhite boxer shorts (actually they look like jockey shorts, but\nearlier\n\nhe had on boxers in the dressing room)\n\nThe camera fades from the previous scene to an exterior shot\nof Mendy's\n\nRestaurant at dusk, then inside to Bania and Jerry dining at\na table.\n\nBANIA\nMmm. This soup is great.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it's very good. (reluctantly)\n\nBANIA\nI told you Mendy's had the best pea\nsoup. The best Jerry, the\n\nbest. Are you enjoying it?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. I'm having a wonderful time. (it's\nobvious he isn't)\n\nBANIA\nWait till you try the swordfish. You\nknow Jerry, I was\n\nthinking. For our next meal, do you think we should come here\n... or\n\nshould we go someplace else? You know it has it's pros and cons.\nOn the\n\none hand, here, you're guaranteed a great meal. On the other\nhand --\n\nJERRY\n(Interrupting Bania) Yeah, yeah I know.\nThis would be good, but\n\nit would be the same. But if we go some place else, it would\nbe\n\ndifferent, but it might not be as good. It's a gamble. I get\nit.\n\nBANIA\nYeah. Well, let's hurry up and eat I\ngotta get out of here. I'm\n\nmeeting a woman for a drink.\n\nJERRY\nOh, and who might that be?\n\nBANIA\nSome woman named Uma. I got her number\noff of that ticket before\n\nit was smudged. Hope she's good-looking. (crosses his fingers\nin the\n\nair)\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nIf you are a waitress and you ever see\nme in a restaurant, I'm\ntelling you right now, I don't want to hear about the specials.\nI don't\nwant to know about the specials. I'm sick of the specials. I\nhate the\nspecials. My feeling is, if the specials were so special, they'd\nbe on\nthe menu. You know what's special about them? They don't know\nif\nanybody likes them. They always have these overly creative descriptions\nof the specials too, you know.

In the Middle\nAges you\n\ncould get locked up for even suggesting it!\n\nJERRY\nThey didn't have roommates in the Middle\nAges.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm sure at some point between\nthe years 800 and\n\n1200--somewhere--there were two women living together.\n\nJERRY\nThe point is I intend to undertake this.\nAnd I'll do it with or without\n\nyou. So if you're scared, if you haven't got the stomach for\nthis, let's\n\nget it out right now! And I'll go on my own. If not, you can\nget on\n\nboard and we can get to work! Now what's it going to be?\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, dammit, I'm in.\n\nJERRY\nI couldn't do it without you.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right. Let's get to work.\n\n{Now here's the boys' second conversation on the subject, after\nwe've\n\nseen them struggling with the issue over coffee, wandering the\nsidewalks\n\nof NYC-- all to 40's-style movie music--before continuing their\n\ndiscussion in Jerry's apartment.

So I tell Sandy that I want\nto have a m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois with her\n\nand her roommate.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's right.\n\nJERRY\nAnd you believe this course of action\nwill have a two-pronged effect.\n\nFirstly, the very mention of the idea will cause Sandy to recoil\nin\n\ndisgust, whereupon she will insist that I remove myself from\nthe\n\npremises.\n\nGEORGE\nKeep going.\n\nJERRY\nAt this point, it is inevitable that\nshe will seek out the roommate to\n\napprise her of this abhorrent turn of events.\n\nGEORGE\nContinue.\n\nJERRY\nThe roommate will then offer her friend\nthe requisite sympathy even as\n\npart of her cannot help but feel somewhat flattered by her inclusion\nin\n\nthe unusual request.\n\n{George takes over.}\n\nGEORGE\nA few days go by and a call is placed\nat a time when Sandy is known to\n\nbe busy at work. Once the initial awkwardness is relieved with\na little\n\nplayful humor, which she (Laura) of course cannot resist, an\ninvitation\n\nto a friendly dinner is proffered.\n\nJERRY\nHuh. Well, it all sounds pretty good.\nThere's only one flaw in it:\n\nThey're roommates. She'd have to go out with me behind Sandy's\nback.\n\nShe's not gonna do that.\n\n{Another pregnant pause. George?}\n\nGEORGE\nYou disappoint me, my friend. Sandy\nwants nothing to do with you.

(sees a man enter\nfrom the bedroom) Oh, Scott, hi.\n\nThis is George. George, this is Scott, my roommate.\n\nScott walks into the kitchen.\n\nGEORGE\nHeh heh.\n\nBONNIE\nHere, check out this view. If you lean\nout this window, you can see\n\nthe river.\n\nScott returns from the kitchen eating an apple, and heads back\nto the bedroom.\n\nGEORGE\nSo Scott's your roommate, huh?\n\nBONNIE\nYes. Oh, I'm sure I've mentioned him.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, you didn't mention it.\n\nBONNIE\nHe's a great guy, you'll really like\nhim.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sure I will.\n\nGeorge and Jerry are at the coffee shop.\n\nJERRY\nMale roommate, huh?\n\nGEORGE\nYes. A male roommate.\n\nJERRY\nIs this a problem?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a huge problem, Jerry. The hardest\npart about having sex with a\n\nwoman is getting her to come back to your place! He's already\ngot that.\n\nJERRY\nWell, maybe he's --\n\nGEORGE\nNo. Believe me, he's not.\n\nJERRY\nSo he's an eligible receiver.\n\nGEORGE\nShe's confiding in him about our dates.\nYou always like the person you\n\ntalk to about the date more than the date! It's just a matter\nof time till they\n\nrealize, 'Hey, we could have sex.'\n\nJERRY\nWhat's stopping them?\n\nGEORGE\nExactly! You know how they get animals\nto reproduce in captivity?\n\nThey just put them in the same cage.\n\nJERRY\nWhat does he look like?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, that's the worst part of it. He\nlooks just like me.\n\nJERRY\nHe looks like you and he's working from\nthe inside?\n\nGEORGE\nI look like me and I'm working from\nthe outside.

You know, if it were socially\nacceptable--\n\nJERRY\nI know, you would drape yourself in\nvelvet.\n\nGEORGE\nI've said that before?\n\nJERRY\nMany times. You love velvet, you want\nto live in velvet, everything\n\nwith the velvet.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nGEORGE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nGuess what? I saw Newman talking to\nthe super.\n\nJERRY\nSo what?\n\nKRAMER\nThe super has keys to your apartment.\nDon't you see what's going on?\n\nNewman is planning a sneak attack.\n\nJERRY\nOh, maybe he's got no hot water.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, alright, fine. You sit there\nand you watch while Newman takes\n\nover the world. But he'd be a horrible leader. And you know\nwho's gonna\n\nsuffer? The little people; you and George.\n\nJERRY\nAre you through?\n\nKRAMER\nOh. I talked to Arthur Jobanian. Yeah,\nthe Drake's wedding? That's\n\noff.\n\nJERRY\nThe wedding is off? What happened?\n\nKRAMER\nThe Drake, he found out that the wedding\nis on the same day as the\n\nSuper Bowl. So he wanted to postpone it, they got in a big argument\nand *phlf*\n\nit's over.\n\nJerry and George are entering Jerry's apartment.\n\nGEORGE\nThe wedding is off. Now you can go\nto the Super Bowl.\n\nJERRY\nI can't call Tim Whatley and ask for\nthe tickets back.\n\nGEORGE\nYou just gave them to him two days ago,\nhe's gotta give you a grace\n\nperiod.\n\nJERRY\nAre you even vaguely familiar with the\nconcept of giving? There's no\n\ngrace period.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, didn't he regift the label maker?\n\nJERRY\nPossibly.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, if he can regift, why can't you\ndegift?\n\nJERRY\nYou may have a point.\n\nGEORGE\nI have a point, I have a point.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'll call him.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. What's that?\n\nJERRY\nOh, it's Risk, it's a game of world\ndomination being played by two guys\n\nwho can barely run their own lives. (Picks up phone and dials)\nHello Tim?\n\nYeah, hi, it's Jerry Seinfeld, remember those tickets I gave\nyou? Well it turns\n\nout I can use them. Oh, you do? I understand. Okay. Bye.\nHe already made\n\nplans, he can't change them.\n\nGEORGE\nWell they're his tickets, he can do\nwhat he wants\n\nwith them.\n\nJERRY\nThanks.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, I gotta go. I'm heading over\nto Bonnie's.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you gonna do about the roommate?\n\nGEORGE\nI gotta try and find a way to switch\nplaces with him. It's like a\n\nSigfried and Roy trick.\n\nJERRY\nWell, the pickle breath is a good start.\n\nGeorge leaves, Newman enters, or would except Jerry tries slamming\nthe door on\n\nhim.\n\nNEWMAN\nHello Jerry, may I come in?\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you want?\n\nNEWMAN\nNothing, just being\n\nneighborly. Do you wanna hang out? Shoot the breeze?\n\nJERRY\nI'm not letting you cheat, Newman.\nYou're not getting anywhere near\n\nthat board.\n\nNEWMAN\nJerry? I'm a little insulted.\n\nJERRY\nYou're not a little anything, Newman.\nSo just pack it up and move it\n\nout of here.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh, by the way, what are you doing for\nthe Super Bowl?\n\nJERRY\nI dunno, watch it on TV I guess. Why?\n\nNEWMAN\nWell if you watch closely enough, you\njust might see me. I'll be the\n\none waving to the camera from my seat on the forty yard line.\n\nJERRY\nYou're going to the Super Bowl?\n\nNEWMAN\nYes I am, a guy on my mail route just\ngot a couple of tickets and he\n\noffered one to me.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's his name?\n\nNEWMAN\nTim Whatley.\n\nJERRY\nThat's my ticket!\n\nNEWMAN\nIs it?! Ohhh, well if only you'd known,\nyou could have saved some time\n\nand given it directly to me! Ha ha ha.\n\nJERRY\nNewman!\n\nGeorge and Bonnie are at Bonnie's\n\nGEORGE\nWhat a movie. Good choice.\n\nBONNIE\nThank Scott. He recommended it.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, Scott, Scott. He's really great,\nisn't he?\n\nBONNIE\nYes he is.\n\nGEORGE\nYes he is. Let me ask you something.\nWhen you come out of the shower\n\nand you put your robe on, do you cinch it real tight, are you\nconcerned about\n\nthat?\n\nBONNIE\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\nDo you hold the neck together with one\nhand, or are you just letting it\n\nflap in the breeze?\n\nBONNIE\nGeorge, you're being ridiculous.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's the massage situation?\n\nBONNIE\nWhat do you mean?\n\nGEORGE\nIs there any work being done? Is there\nany rubbing, touching, finger\n\nmanipulation on the other person, and if so, who's making the\nrequest?\n\nBONNIE\nGeorge, would you just stop?\n\nGEORGE\nSay you go to the bathroom at two o'clock\nin the morning, what's the\n\noutfit? I mean, you dressing up or is it come as you are?\n\nBONNIE\nGeorge, what is wrong with you?\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell you what's wrong, a grown\nwoman with a male roommate! It's\n\nunnatural, it's an abomination!\n\nScott enters.\n\nSCOTT\nHey!\n\nGEORGE\nHey!\n\nSCOTT\nHow ya going?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm good.\n\nSCOTT\nAre you gonna need the bathroom? 'Cause\nI'm gonna jump in\n\nthe shower.\n\nBONNIE\nNo, just throw my bras out of the way.\n\nElaine and Tim Whatley are walking together on the street.\n\nTIM\nWell, this is my building.\n\nELAINE\nYes it is.\n\nTIM\nThis was fun, you know?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nTIM\nSo, I'll call.\n\nELAINE\nAren't you gonna invite me upstairs?\n\nTIM\nUpstairs? You wanna go upstairs?\n\nELAINE\nI would love to go upstairs.\n\nTIM\nElaine, you are something else. No\none can ever put a label on you, huh?\n\nELAINE\nWe'll see.\n\nJerry and George are at their booth in the coffee shop.\n\nJERRY\nNewman. He's going with Newman.\n\nGEORGE\nHow does Tim Whatley even know Newman?\n\nJERRY\nNewman's his mailman.\n\nGEORGE\nWho goes to the Super Bowl with their\nmailman?!\n\nJERRY\nWho goes *anywhere* with Newman?!\n\nGEORGE\nWell, he's merry.\n\nJERRY\nHe is merry, I'll give him that. (notices\na cactus on the table)\n\nWhat's this plant for?\n\nGEORGE\nI had a little tiff with Bonnie about\nthe roommate.\n\nJERRY\nOh, well the cactus will smooth things\nover.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nHey, guess what? I'm going to the Super\nBowl with Tim Whatley.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nWe went out for coffee last night and\nhe offered me a ticket.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about the label maker?\n\nELAINE\nAh, well.\n\nJERRY\nWait a minute, that's my ticket! You\ndidn't even want to go.\n\nELAINE\nIt was totally out of the blue. We\nwent upstairs to his apartment, you\n\nknow, to look for the label maker.\n\nJERRY\nSo, how did you get up there? Did you\nsay you had to use the bathroom?\n\nELAINE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nThen how'd you get up there?\n\nELAINE\nI said, \"Do you wanna go upstairs?\"\n\nGEORGE\nAnd there's you ticket.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nThat's why you're going to the Super\nBowl.\n\nELAINE\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\nYou go out with a guy one time, you\nask him to go upstairs like you're\n\nMae West? Of course he's gonna try and get you alone for the\nweekend.\n\nELAINE\nYou mean just because I asked him to\ngo upstairs, he thinks he's going\n\ndowntown?\n\nJERRY\nObviously.\n\nELAINE\nYou're crazy.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, what happened when you got upstairs?\n\nELAINE\nAs soon as we walked in, he got a call\nfrom one of his patients with an\n\nimpacted molar or something so he had to leave. I didn't even\nget a chance to\n\nlook for the label maker.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well I don't trust this guy.\nI think he regifted, he degifted,\n\nand now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super\nBowl sex romp.\n\nJerry is in the hallway approaching his apartment door. Kramer\nwalks out of his\n\napartment.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey. What are you doing?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm watching your door.\n\nJERRY\nMy door?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, from my peephole. Fisheye, sees\nall.\n\nCut to the interior of Jerry's apartment. Newman sneaks out\nfrom the bedroom\n\ntowards the table where the Risk board is sitting. He accidentally\nknocks some\n\nCDs off the shelving unit, making a lot of noise.\n\nJERRY\nWhat was that?\n\nKRAMER\nNewman!\n\nJerry begins opening the door, Newman does not have enough time\nto change the\n\nboard pieces.\n\nNEWMAN\nDamn!\n\nJERRY\nThe bedroom!\n\nJerry runs to the bedroom, catching a glimpse of Newman climbing\nout the open\n\nwindow and up the fire escape. Jerry and Kramer rush to the\nwindow.\n\nJERRY\nI see you, Newman! I see you!\n\nKRAMER\nI'm taking the Congo as a penalty!\n\nElaine and Tim Whatley are sharing a cab.\n\nELAINE\nI've got a confession to make.\n\nTIM\nOh? What's that?\n\nELAINE\nI've got Super Bowl fever.\n\nTIM\nOh yeah, me too.\n\nELAINE\nSo where are we staying?\n\nTIM\nOh, the Ambassador.\n\nELAINE\nOh. Big room?\n\nTIM\nIt's a regular room, but it's right\ndowntown.\n\nELAINE\nDowntown?\n\nTIM\nRight downtown.\n\nELAINE\nWhat do they have there, a couple of\nbeds?\n\nTIM\nWhy? You bringing someone else?\n\nELAINE\nNo, but don't you think there should\nbe two beds? There's two of us.\n\nTim's grin disappears.\n\nGeorge enters Bonnie's apartment.\n\nBONNIE\nOh, a cactus.\n\nGEORGE\nThey don't need any water, so you don't\nhave to keep taking them to the\n\nbathroom.\n\nThey share a laugh. Scott enters from the back holding a cardboard\nbox. He\n\nplaces it on a stack of similar boxes.\n\nSCOTT\nWell, look who's here.\n\nBONNIE\nI asked Scott to move out.\n\nGEORGE\nOh. Oh!\n\nGeorge and Jerry are at Jerry's apartment. Kramer and Newman\nare seated at the\n\nRisk board on the living room table.\n\nJERRY\nSo she kicked him out of the apartment.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's right. It's just me and her.\n\nJERRY\nWow, she rearranged her whole life for\nyou.\n\nGEORGE\nI guess she did. He's gone, now I'm\nthe man.\n\nJERRY\nThat's not a good role for you.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, it's not.\n\nJERRY\nYou unwittingly made a major commitment.\nThat's a lot of pressure.\n\nGEORGE\nOh my god.\n\nJERRY\nYou wanted to be ensconced in velvet,\nyou're buried.\n\nGEORGE\nI had the perfect situation here, he\nwas shouldering half the load.\n\nJERRY\nHe was shouldering.\n\nGEORGE\nI couldn't leave well enough alone?!\n\nJERRY\nWhere are you going?\n\nGEORGE\nI gotta go help her tape up all his\nboxes and get them ready for\n\nshipping.\n\nJERRY\nOh, well here. Take Whatley's label\nmaker, I don't want to see it\n\nagain.\n\nGEORGE\nThanks.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. I am taking over South America\nand there\n\nain't nothing you can do about it.\n\nJERRY\nSo, too bad about that Super Bowl ticket,\neh Newman?\n\nNEWMAN\nYeah. I just hope Tim Whatley's electric\nbills don't suddenly get lost\n\nin the mail, or it could be lights out for him.\n\nJERRY\nThanks for having me over, guys.\n\nJerry and George are out on the street, Tim Whatley comes running\nup.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'll see you later.\n\nTIM\nHey Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nAh, Tim Whatley. Out scalping?\n\nTIM\nAh, see, now I've been thinking a lot\nabout what happened and I feel\n\nhorrible. Listen, I want to give you a ticket back.\n\nJERRY\nAre you serious, what about Elaine?\n\nTIM\nOh, Elaine. Yeah, well, things just\ndidn't work out like I thought they\n\nwould.\n\nJERRY\nOh.

So why didn't you?\n\nKRAMER\nScared of being shot.\n\nCOP\nMr Kramer, let me tell you a story.\nIn nineteen-seventy-nine I ticketed\na\n\nbrown Dodge Diplomat for parking in a Church zone. That fine\nwas never paid, and\n\nsince then that scofflaw has piled up more parking tickets than\nanyone in New\n\nYork City. For sixteen years I pursued him, only to see him give\nme the slip\n\ntime and time again. I never got a clean look at his face, but\nhe's become my\n\n'white whale'.

You\nknow that company I work for, they own\n\nthat parking lot around the corner.\n\nGEORGE\nWha, that's a Kinney lot?\n\nGARY\nYeah, and there's a space opening up,\nand I could get it for you. You just\n\nhave to pay the tax on it.

Well, the thing is, I've been\nliving a lie.\n\nGEORGE\nJust one? I'm living like twenty. (chuckles)\nWhat's yours?\n\nGARY\nWell, I (laughs) I never actually had\ncancer. (laughs) I'll see you.\n\n(leaves)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nKramer and Jerry sit on the couch, Elaine in the chair. Kramer\nand Elaine are\n\ntalking, Jerry reads a magazine.\n\nELAINE\nSo he refused to tell you where he got\nthe glasses?\n\nKRAMER\n(rising) Flat out refused! (walks past\nJerry, who moves his legs)\n\nELAINE\nYeah, isn't that just like him? (she\nsteps over Jerry's legs) You know,\n\nhe has to be the only one who has 'em.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, tell me about it, soul sister.\n(he opens the door to leave)\n\nAnyway, I told Jake that you said hi.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? (she slams the door shut before\nKramer can exit) You told Jake I\n\nsaid hi?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nI can't believe you did that! Why did\nyou tell him I said hi? I never\n\nsaid hi! (to Jerry) When did I say hi?\n\nJERRY\nI never heard her say hi.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's uh, common courtesy.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no. (stamps foot) Kramer, you don't\nunderstand. He made the last\n\ncontact between us. I had the upper hand in the post-breakup\nrelationship. If he\n\nthinks that I said hi, then I lose the upper hand.\n\nJERRY\nIt's like a game of tag.\n\nElaine gathers her stuff together, ready to leave.\n\nJERRY\nWhere you going?\n\nELAINE\nNowhere.\n\nJERRY\nYou're going to the book store to see\nJake Jarmel, aren't you?\n\nELAINE\nSo what if I do? (heads for the door)\n\nKRAMER\n(to the exiting Elaine) Yeah, well,\nlisten. If you're going there,\n\n(following her out the door) maybe you can get him to tell you\nwhere he got\n\nthose glasses. (shouting after her) Elaine!\n\nGeorge enters as Kramer and Elaine leave. He closes the door\nbehind him.\n\nJERRY\nHey. How'd it go with Gary?\n\nGEORGE\n(shifty, avoiding Jerry's eyes) Fine,\nfine. (he removes his coat)\n\nJERRY\n(suspicious) Really?\n\nGEORGE\n(shifty) Yeah.\n\nJERRY\nYou look like something's on your mind.\n\nGEORGE\nNo. Nothing. Fine. (he sits at the table)\n\nJERRY\nSo, that's your poker face.\n\nGEORGE\nMy regular face.\n\nJERRY\nNo it isn't. I've seen your regular\nface. That is not it.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you saying?\n\nJERRY\nAll right George, c'mon, what d'you\ngot? (sits opposite George)\n\nGEORGE\nI got nothing.\n\nJERRY\nWhat you got, a pair of bullets?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat you talking about?\n\nJERRY\nTwo pair?

There are\n\nother people queuing behind her.\n\nELAINE\nSo you see, Kramer took it upon himself\nto say hi to you from me. When\n\nin fact it was an unauthorised hi.\n\nJAKE\nYou're saying you didn't say hi.\n\nELAINE\nThat's what I'm saying.\n\nJAKE\nSo that's what you came down here to\ntell me?\n\nELAINE\nCorrect.\n\nJAKE\nYou never said hi?\n\nELAINE\nCorrect.\n\nJAKE\nYou still like me, don't you?\n\nELAINE\nCorrect. (catches herself) What's that?\n\nMAN\nHey, I have been trying to get this\nbook signed all day.\n\nELAINE\n(takes the book from the guy and signs\nit herself) How can you say that\n\nI still like you, when I didn't even say hi to you?\n\nJAKE\nElaine, coming down here to say that\nyou didn't say hi is more of a\n\ngesture than if you did say hi.\n\nELAINE\nAh, Jake... (realises his logic) I,\nuh...\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nGEORGE\nThe doctors thought he had cancer, but\nthe surgery revealed he never\n\nactually had it.\n\nJERRY\nSo what was wrong with him?\n\nGEORGE\nNothing!\n\nJERRY\nSo he's been lying to me for two months?!\n\nGEORGE\nThat's right.\n\nJERRY\nWhat kind of person is this? There's\nonly one other person who might be\n\nable to do something like this, and that's you.\n\nGEORGE\nWell...\n\nJERRY\nI don't even think you could do it.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I could do it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I guess you could.\n\nGEORGE\n(snorts) C'mon.\n\nJERRY\nDid you know he was so worried about\nlosing more hair if he had to get\n\nchemo treatment, I bought him an unlimited gift certificate at\nthe Hair Team For\n\nMen, just to put his mind at ease?\n\nGEORGE\nYou did that?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Oh, I can't wait to talk to this\nguy. (moves to pick up phone)\n\nGEORGE\nWait a minute, wait a minute. You can't\nsay anything. (rushes to take\n\nphone from Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nWhy not?\n\nGEORGE\n(puts down handset) Because he'll know\nI told you. Besides, he's giving\n\nme a parking spot around the corner for practically nothing.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're telling me, because you're\ngetting free parking, I gotta\n\npretend this guy had cancer when he didn't?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nWell I don't like it. I don't like it\none bit! And, I'm supposed to see\n\nhim tomorrow.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, well you have to maintain the\nsame disposition too. You can't\n\nstart acting any differently. You have to be nice.\n\nJERRY\nWhy didn't he tell me?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause you were being so nice.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think I can be that nice.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouts) You be nice!\n\nGeorge and Jerry turn their backs to other and angrily stalk\naway from each\n\nother.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJerry enters. He looks around for Gary, and does a double-take\nas he see him\n\nsitting in a booth, wearing a wig.\n\nJERRY\nGary?\n\nGARY\nWhat d'you think? Check it out. (he\ntries a number of expressions, turning\n\nhis head side to side, to show off the hairpiece)\n\nJERRY\nIs that from my gift certificate?\n\nGARY\nYeah buddy. You really came through\nfor me man. You've been so nice.\n\n(shakes Jerry by the hand)\n\nJERRY\n(through gritted teeth) Yeah, well,\nI'm glad you could take advantage.\n\nGARY\nHey, you know what I'm thinking of doing?\nI'm getting rid of all my\n\nfillings, 'cos that mercury's toxic. Hey, let me see your fillings.\n\nJERRY\nI don't think so.\n\nGARY\nOh come on, open up. Let me take a look.\n\nJerry can be seen struggling against his instincts. He hears\nGeorge's words from\n\nearlier.\n\nGEORGE\nYou be nice! He's giving me a parking\nspace (echoes) parking\n\nspace... parking space...\n\nJerry leans forward and opens his mouth, but he's not happy about\nit.\n\nGARY\n(peering in) Well, what d'you know.\nHey, lookee there, you're loaded.\n\nJERRY\nOkay. (shuts mouth)\n\nGARY\nHey, look who's over there. Miss Cool-toes.\nCheck this out, Jack! (rises)\n\nKramer enters. He's wearing an eyepatch like the cop's.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Jerry) Hey buddy.\n\nJERRY\nHey. Look at you. Wha... what's this?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's an eyepatch.\n\nJERRY\nYou look like a pirate.\n\nKRAMER\nI wanna be a pirate.\n\nJERRY\n(gesturing) This is Gary.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Gary) How you doing?\n\nGARY\nAll right.\n\nKramer goes to shake Gary by the hand, but due to his impaired\nvision, he misses\n\nby several inches at the first attempt. He lifts the patch up\nto restore his\n\ndepth perception. They shake, and Gary leaves to talk to the\n'girl who never\n\ntalks'. Kramer moves to sit in the vacant seat.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I tell you there's only one problem.\n\nKramer sits down, misjudges the seat and almost slides under\nthe table. He\n\nupsets plates and glasses.\n\nJERRY\nCan't see on your right side?\n\nKRAMER\nNo. It's uh, (swaps patch to the other\neye) it's itchy\n\n(George's car)\n\nDEBBY\nNice car.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.

I\n\nfell in love with him.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, the guy's got some perspective there.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJerry and Kramer in their booth.\n\nJERRY\nHey, do you know what the Whip does?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat whip?\n\nJERRY\nThe Whip. In the Senate, in the House.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you know in the old days, when\nthe senators didn't vote the way\n\nthat the party leaders wanted 'em to... they whipped them. (holds\nimaginary\n\nwhip) You better vote the way we want you to, or there's gonna\nbe big trouble.\n\n(cracks invisible whip and makes sound effect)\n\nGary returns from talking to the 'girl who never talks'.\n\nGARY\nShe won't talk to anyone, huh? Oh no,\nshe won't say a word to anybody.\n\nWell, she's talking a blue streak now, Jack!\n\n(Street)\n\nThe eye patch-wearing cop spots a familiar Dodge.\n\nCOP\nWell, well. The 'white whale'.\n\nHe moves in for the kill.\n\n(George's car)\n\nGEORGE\n(frustrated) Oh, look at this. There's\nno place to park around here. I\n\ndon't even know why they sell cars in Manhattan.\n\nDEBBY\nDon't complain, at least you have your\nhealth.\n\n(Street)\n\nThe guy Elaine bought the glasses from is peering blurrily about.\nIt's clear he\n\ncan barely see anything. He steps between cars and out into the\nroad.\n\n(George's car)\n\nDEBBY\nGeorge, look out for that man!\n\n(Monk's)\n\nThe sound of tires squealing is heard from outside, followed\nimmediately by the\n\ncrash of cars colliding. Kramer leaps to his feet and heads out\nto investigate.\n\n(Street)\n\nThe cop has obviously been distracted by the same noises whilst\nwriting a\n\nticket. The scofflaw has taken advantage, and the Dodge squeals\naway, passing\n\nKramer as he emerges from Monk's.\n\nCOP\n(to escaping car) Hey! Hey, get back\nhere!\n\nKRAMER\n(looking after fleeing car) Newman!\nThe white whale!\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nGEORGE\nCan you believe he sold his glasses\non the street?\n\nJERRY\nCan you believe someone would lie about\nchemotherapy to get a wig? Would\n\nyou do that?\n\nGEORGE\nNo. Definitely not.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm pretty sure I wouldn't.\n\nJERRY\nAnd you know what else? He picked up\nthat woman in the coffee shop.\n\nGEORGE\nThe one who always sits by herself?\n\nJERRY\nYeah!\n\nGEORGE\nHow did he do that?\n\nJERRY\nBecause he was brimming with confidence\nfrom the toupee.\n\nGEORGE\nReally? And Debby told me that she fell\nin love with him because he has\n\nall this perspective!\n\nJERRY\nShe thinks a guy who lies about a life-threatening\nillness, so he can get\n\nsome phony hair has perspective?\n\nGEORGE\n(opening door to leave) He picked her\nup?\n\nJERRY\nWalked right over to her table.\n\nGEORGE\nWow. (he runs his fingers through his\nhair, and then brushes the\n\nresulting fallout off his jacket)\n\n(Waldenbooks)\n\nJake still at the signing table. People still queuing. Elaine\nskips past the\n\nqueue.\n\nELAINE\nJake, Jake. Take a look. (puts on the\nframes she bought) Aaw, see,\n\nyou're not the only one who has 'em. I have them too.\n\nJAKE\nWhere did you get those?\n\nELAINE\nMalaysia. I was in the area.\n\nJake thumps the desk in frustrated rage.\n\n(Newman's car)\n\nNewman is sitting alone. The door opens and Kramer jumps in.\n\nNEWMAN\n(surprised) Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nJust drive.\n\nNewman puts the car in gear and sets off.\n\nKRAMER\nAll right. Now you listen, and you listen\ngood. I know who you are. You're\n\nthe scofflaw.\n\nNEWMAN\n(defensive) What're you talking about...\n\nKRAMER\n(interrupting) Ah, don't play dumb.\nIt's me, Cosmo.\n\nNEWMAN\nAll right, so it's me. So what?\n\nKRAMER\nYou don't think I know how you're feeling,\nevery second of the day?\n\nLooking over your shoulder to see if someone's coming up from\nbehind. Sitting\n\nalone at night, knowing they could be closing in.\n\nNEWMAN\nI can't sleep, I tell you! I can't sleep!\n\nKRAMER\nGa, of course you can't, you poor sap!\nNow why didn't you tell me?\n\nNEWMAN\nI couldn't. I couldn't tell anyone.\n\nKRAMER\nSo you been living this secret the whole\ntime by yourself?\n\nNEWMAN\n(sobbing) Yes, it's been awful. I wanted\nto tell somebody. (pleading)\n\nHelp me Kramer! Help me!\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, all right, I'm gonna help\nyou.\n\n(Street)\n\nGeorge and Jerry, walking together.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll try some on and see how they look.\nIt's just hair.\n\nJERRY\nYou ever see what that thing looks like\nin the back? You got your natural\n\nlittle curls on the bottom, and then that big phony mat coming\ndown on top of\n\n'em.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, some of 'em look good. The ones\nthat look good you don't even know\n\nabout.\n\nJERRY\nWhat if you get involved with a woman?\nHow're you gonna tell her?\n\nGEORGE\nThe way they make 'em these days, I'll\nnever have to tell her.\n\nJERRY\nSo you keep it a secret your whole life,\nthen at your funeral the\n\nmortician comes out (as mortician) 'Here, Mrs Costanza, I thought\nyou might want\n\nthis'. (as Mrs Costanza, horrified) Aahh!\n\n(Monk's)\n\nElaine and Mr Lippman, sitting in a booth.\n\nLIPPMAN\nIt's no secret that it's my dream to\nhave my own publishing house, and\n\nif this Jake Jarmel book does, you know, what I think it's gonna\ndo. If I can\n\nget this whole thing off the ground, then, you know, I think\nI'll have\n\nsomething for you. (laughs)\n\nELAINE\nOh, Mr Lippman. (joins laughter) That\nis so exciting. I mean, you have\n\nno idea how sick I am of running around town looking for socks.\n\nLIPPMAN\nYeah, by the way, those are great glasses.\n\nELAINE\nOh really, you like 'em?\n\nLIPPMAN\nUh huh. Very unusual.\n\nELAINE\nWell, you know what? (removes glasses)\n\nLIPPMAN\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\n(hands them over) You can have 'em.\n\nLIPPMAN\nOh, no no no. (waves them away) Please.\n\nELAINE\nNo no no no. Go to that place on the\ncorner, they'll change the\n\nprescription in an hour. Take 'em.\n\nLIPPMAN\nReally?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I've no use for them anymore.\nHonestly.\n\nLIPPMAN\n(accepting) I could use a new pair of\nreading glasses.\n\nELAINE\nThey're from Malaysia.\n\nLIPPMAN\n(putting on spectacles) Oh yeah?\n\nELAINE\n(admiring gasp) Fabulous.\n\n(Courtroom)\n\nNewman stands before a female Judge. Kramer stands beside him.\nThere are the\n\nusual personnel for a courtroom.\n\nJUDGE\nWell Mr Newman, in all my years on the\nbench, I have never come across\n\nanything quite like this. I have given this matter some very\nserious\n\nconsideration and I've decided that what's best for the city\nand possibly for\n\nyourself, is for you to keep your car, in a garage...\n\nNewman bursts into anguished tears.\n\nJUDGE\n...convenient to your home.\n\nNEWMAN\n(sobbing) I can't afford that!\n\nJUDGE\nAfford it you will, Mr Newman. Or this\ncourt will see that your car is\n\nimpounded...\n\nNewman's sobbing reaches new heights.\n\nJUDGE\n...and sold at auction.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, don't you worry, your honour.\nHe's in my custody.\n\nThe judge peers at Kramer. She does not look impressed by this\nstatement.\n\n(Hair Team For Men)\n\nGeorge, Jerry and a Salesman, wearing a substandard toupee, are\nin a fitting\n\nroom (?). George is sitting before a mirror, trying on a wig,\nassisted by the\n\nsalesman, while Jerry looks on.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Jerry) Well, what d'you think?\n\nJERRY\n(unimpressed) I, really can't say.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, say. I want you to say.\n\nJERRY\nIt's not good, okay. It's not good.\nYou look (searches for word) stupid.\n\n(to salesman) I'm sorry.\n\nSALESMAN\nYou have to realise this has not been\ncustom-fitted to his scalp.\n\nGEORGE\n(examining reflection) I really think\nthis looks pretty good.\n\nJERRY\nWhy don't you get a pair of white shoes,\nmove down to Miami Beach and get\n\nthe whole thing over with?\n\nGEORGE\n(to salesman) Well, maybe you could\nshow me something else.\n\nSALESMAN\nAs I said, it'll be different once we\ndesign something specifically\n\nfor you. But I don't think your friend here is being very helpful.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hey, I'm being helpful. I am the\nonly one being helpful!\n\nSALESMAN\n(getting annoyed) No, I don't think\nyou're being helpful! I think\n\nyou're being disruptive, and you make it very difficult for your\nfriend here to\n\nimprove his life!\n\nJERRY\nHey! I'm trying to prevent my friend\nfrom becoming one of those guys\n\npeople snicker at behind their back, because they look ridiculous!\nNo offence to\n\nyou personally!\n\nSALESMAN\n(angry) All you people with hair think\nyou're so damn superior! You\n\nhave no idea what it's like. You ever look down in the bottom\nof your tub and\n\nsee a fist fulla hair? How'd you like to start your day with\nthat?! (looks ready\n\nto punch Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nAll right! Take it easy! Take it easy.\n\nGEORGE\n(leaps to feet) Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nI'm sorry.\n\nGEORGE\nPlease. (sits again)\n\nThe door opens and Gary enters. He's humming to himself.\n\nGARY\nHey Jerry, th... (spots George) George,\nyou decided to get a rug! Good for\n\nyou, Jack!\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm, I'm just looking.\n\nGARY\nOh. (to salesman) Uh, Tommy, I'm gonna\nneed a little adjustment.\n\nSALESMAN\nI'll be right with you.\n\nThe salesman/Tommy leaves.\n\nGARY\nListen, George, I got some bad news.\nI'm not gonna be able to give you\n\nthat parking space.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGARY\nThis judge has to use it for some scofflaw.\nAnd you know you can't fight\n\nCity Hall.\n\nJerry gives a questioning look to George, who responds with a\n'go ahead'\n\nexpression.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, Gary (slams shut the door)\nI had a little chat with George the\n\nother day...\n\nGARY\n(to George) You didn't?!\n\nGEORGE\n(admiring himself in mirror) I did.\n\nJERRY\n(advancing on Gary) ...and he told me\nthat that... (becomes indistinct)\n\nWe see George continuing to admire himself as, off-camera, Gary\nand Jerry are\n\nheard struggling for possession of Gary's wig.\n\nGARY\n(indistinct) I'm not a hundred percent\nrecovered yet!\n\nJERRY\nGimme that thing!\n\n(Monk's)\n\nTypical number of customers. George enters, wearing his new toupee.\nOne or two\n\nof the staff give him a glance. He looks around, and taps the\ncounter by the\n\ncash register. A beautiful brunette sitting at the nearest table\ngive him an\n\nadmiring look.\n\nGEORGE\nHow's your life? All right?\n\nWOMAN\nYeah, not bad at all.\n\nShe pushes the chair opposite her out from the table in an invitation\nfor George\n\nto sit down. George looks pleasantly surprised by the beneficial\neffects of his\n\nhairpiece.\n\n(Press conference)\n\nMr Lippman and Jake Jarmel are on a small stage with a lectern.\nIn front of it\n\nare a group of reporters and, amongst them sits Elaine.\n\nLIPPMAN\n(at lectern) And now, uh, ladies and\ngentlemen of the press, it is my\n\npleasure to introduce you to Mr Jake Jarmel. (he applauds Jake\nas he vacates the\n\nlectern in his favour)\n\nThere is a brief ripple of applause as Jake steps up to take\nquestions.\n\nREPORTER\nSo Jake, what's your percentage on this\nbook?\n\nSeveral of the reporters laugh, as does Jake. Mr Lippman steps\nback to the\n\nlectern. He has some notes, and is extracting his glasses from\nhis pocket.\n\nLIPPMAN\nOh, actually I, uh, I have some very\ninteresting information on that.\n\n(puts on glasses) You know, uh, this is a co-venture and as...\n\nJAKE\n(notices glasses) Where did you get\nthose?\n\nLIPPMAN\n... as such, it...\n\nJAKE\nThose glasses, where did you get those\nglasses?\n\nLIPPMAN\n(confused) Where... what?\n\nJAKE\n(to Elaine) Is this supposed to be some\nkind of a joke on me? Because it's\n\nnot very funny. (to the nonplussed Lippman) Give me those! (yelling)\nI want the\n\nglasses! Give me those!\n\nHe tries to pull them from Lippman's face, and a struggle ensues.\nJake can be\n\nheard demanding the glasses. The reporters endeavour to get a\nview of the noisy\n\nfracas. Elaine rises and begins to make her way toward the exit.\nShe is\n\napologetic to her neighbour.\n\nELAINE\n(mouths) 'Scuse me. Have to go (audible)\nlook for some socks.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Kiss-Hello.html", "text": "THE KISS HELLO\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David & Jerry Seinfeld\n\n(Comedy club)\n\nJERRY\nNow, I was thinking the other day about\nhair, and that the weird thing about\nit, is that people will touch other\npeople's hair.

How's she doing?\n\nGeorge rises, and he and Jerry collect their jackets and make\ntheir way\n\nto the door.\n\nJERRY\nAh, she's starting to slip a little.\nSometimes she has\n\nDifficulty distinguishing between the past and the present.\n\nGEORGE\nAh. You know, there's gotta be an easier\nway to open ketchups.

I've never\nseen squeeze ketchup.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if they make squeeze mustard,\ndoesn't it stand to reason\n\nthat they make squeeze ketchup?\n\nGEORGE\nNot necessarily.

Is that the uh, physical therapist?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. I'm on a kiss hello program with\nher.\n\nGEORGE\nReally?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Every time I see her, I gotta\nkiss her hello.

You\n\nShould say something to her.\n\nELAINE\nOh, I could never say anything to her\nabout that.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Kramer's the only person who could\nsay something like\n\nthat.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.

(releasing his grip) Alright!\nTake it!\n\nNANA\nYou should let Buddy open it.\n\nLEO\nBuddy? He lived next door to us forty-five\nyears ago.\n\nLeo hands the ketchup back to Nana.\n\nNANA\nLeo, did you give Helen the fifty dollars?\n\nLEO\nWhat fifty dollars?\n\nNANA\nYour father won a thousand dollars at\nthe track last week, and he\n\ngave you a hundred, and you were supposed to give fifty dollars\nto your sister.\n\nNana walks away out of the room again.\n\nLEO\nMa, dad died in nineteen-sixty-two.\n\nJerry is staring at Leo, with an expression of suspicion.\n\nLEO\n(laughing off Nana's confusion) Believe\nme. I don't owe your\n\nmother fifty dollars.\n\nLeo continues to force out laughter, and Jerry continues his\nlook of\n\nmistrust.\n\n(Lobby, Jerry's Building)\n\nElaine and Jerry wait by the elevator.

If everybody knew\neverybody, we wouldn't\n\nhave the problems we have in the world today. Well, you don't\nrob somebody, if\n\nyou know their name!\n\nJERRY\nYou're robbing me.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm gonna get your picture, and\nyou're gonna participate\n\nin my program.\n\nKramer heads out the door, but Elaine intercepts him.\n\nELAINE\nWha...

(big smile) Just wanna see\nyou again.\n\nKramer smiles at this. He exits, but turns to flash the smile\nat Elaine\n\nas he crosses the hall to his apartment. After Kramer goes into\nhis place,\n\nElaine shuts the door of Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\n(removing his coat) So? Are you sure\nWendy's coming?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, she'll be here any second.\n\nJERRY\nWell, this'll be a very interesting\nexperiment to see if Kramer\n\nSays something. You sure you wanna go through with this?\n\nELAINE\nListen, Jerry. She never dates, and\nI know it's because of her\n\nhair.\n\nThe phone rings, and Jerry picks up. Elaine removes her coat.\n\nJERRY\nHello. Oh, hi mom. Yeah, I was at Nana's\nyesterday. I had to\n\nhelp her open a ketchup bottle. Hey, mom, let me ask you a question.\nDo you\n\nremember when you were a kid, your father winning like a thousand\ndollars at the\n\ntrack? (listens) Really? Did you know he gave uncle Leo a hundred\ndollars, and\n\nhe was supposed to give you fifty? (listens) How do I know? Because\nNana\n\ndoesn't know what year it is, and she thinks this just happened.\n(listens) Well, I\n\nthink you should. Okay, bye.\n\n(The Seinfeld's Place, Florida)\n\nMorty and Helen in the kitchen. Morty has a pencil and pad and\na pocket\n\ncalculator out, doing some work.\n\nMORTY\nDo you know what the interest on that\nfifty dollars comes to\n\nOver fifty-three years?\n\nHELEN\nOh, Morty, please.\n\nMORTY\nSix hundred and sixty-three dollars\nand forty-five cents. And\n\nthat's figuring conservatively at five percent interest, over\nfifty-three\n\nyears, compounded quarterly. Or, if you put it into a ten-year\nT-bill...\n\nHELEN\nMorty, will you stop it!\n\nMORTY\n(determined) Well, he's not getting\naway with this!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry by the kitchen. The buzzer sounds, and Jerry answers.\n\nJERRY\nYeah?\n\nWENDY\nWendy.\n\nJERRY\nCome on up.\n\nElaine enters from the bathroom.\n\nELAINE\nWell, this is it. Shall I go get Kramer?\n\nJERRY\nNo no, he'll come in. Well, this is\ngonna be my first\n\nopportunity to not kiss her hello.\n\nELAINE\nWhat is the big deal about putting your\nlips on somebody's\n\nface?\n\nJERRY\nIt's the obligation, you know? As soon\nas this person comes in,\n\nyou know you have to do this. I mean, if you could, say, touch\na breast as part\n\nof the kiss hello, then I think I could see the value in it a\nlittle better.\n\nELAINE\nHow 'bout an intercourse hello? How\nwould that be?\n\nJERRY\nElaine, now you're being ridiculous.\n\nThere's a knock at the door.\n\nELAINE\n(indicating) That's her. That's her.\n\nJerry holds up his hands, indicating he wants a few seconds to\nprepare.\n\nHe goes to the refrigerator, and indicates Elaine should let\nWendy inside.\n\nElaine opens the door and Wendy enters.\n\nELAINE/WENDY\nHi/Hey.\n\nJerry has the door of the fridge open, and his head is inside\nthe\n\nappliance.\n\nJERRY\n(muffled) Hi Wendy.\n\nWENDY\nOh, hi Jerry.\n\nWendy wanders over to the fridge.\n\nJERRY\n(muffled) Would you like something to\ndrink?\n\nWENDY\nSure.\n\nJerry holds out his arm, with a bottle in his hand.\n\nJERRY\n(muffled) There you go.\n\nWENDY\n(taking the bottle) Ah.\n\nJerry starts to withdraw his head from the fridge, and Wendy\nis poised\n\nfor the kiss hello. But, just as he turns to face her, he opens\nthe freezer\n\ncompartment and the door blocks her approach. Wendy walks away\nto the couch.\n\nJERRY\nOh, look at that. I'm almost outta Klondike\nbars.\n\nJerry peers around the edge of the door, to see if the coast\nis clear.\n\nFinding\n\nthat it is, he closes the various doors of the fridge.\n\nJERRY\nSo, how's everything going?\n\nWENDY\nOh, okay. Oh, your friend George came\nby the office the other\n\nday, and then yesterday he cancelled on me.\n\nJERRY\nOh, yeah, he had to take his mother\nto the chiropodist.\n\nThere is a clunk in the hallway, as of Kramer's door opening.\n\nELAINE\nOh, you hear that? That must be Kramer.\n\nJerry's door opens and Kramer enters. He's holding a polaroid\ncamera.\n\nKRAMER\nHey! Jerry!\n\nJerry turns at the call of his name, and Kramer fires off a quick\nshot.\n\nJERRY\nC'mon, that's not fair!\n\nKRAMER\nI told you I was gonna get it.\n\nJERRY\nNo, c'mon Kramer. (crossing to Kramer)\nGimme that picture.\n\nKRAMER\n(holding the picture away from Jerry)\nAagh. No no no no no.\n\nJERRY\n(throws up his hands) Alright, fine.\nPut my picture up. What do\n\nI care?\n\nELAINE\nUh, Kramer. Kramer, I'd like you to\nmeet my friend Wendy.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hello.\n\nWENDY\n(holds out her hand) Hi.\n\nKRAMER\n(shaking hands) Yeah.\n\nKramer does looks at Wendy, and something intrigues him. He turns\naway,\n\nThen back again, unable to take his eyes off her hair.\n\nKRAMER\n(points) You know, I really like that\nhairdo.\n\nJerry and Elaine both look surprised and let-down by Kramer.\n\nWENDY\n(flattered) Oh. Thank you. I actually\nwas thinking it might be\n\ntime for a change.\n\nELAINE\n(hopeful) Oh, you were?\n\nWENDY\nWell, I...\n\nKRAMER\n(interrupting) Oh, no no no. You don't\nwanna do that. No no.\n\nNobody wears it like that.\n\nELAINE\nKramer, if she wants to change her hair...\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. you'd be a damn fool to change\nit. It's very becoming.\n\nWENDY\nOh, well.\n\nKramer raises his camera to take a picture of Wendy and her hair.\n\nWENDY\n(laughs, flattered) Oh, ho.\n\nKramer presses the button and nothing happens. He turns the camera\nup,\n\nto look at the front of it and it chooses to fire at that moment,\ndazzling\n\nKramer with the flash.\n\n(Wendy's Car)\n\nWendy drives, Elaine in the passenger seat.\n\nWENDY\nSo, who's that friend of yours? That\nguy that came in.\n\nELAINE\nOh, Kramer.\n\nWENDY\nYeah. Does he have a girlfriend?\n\nELAINE\nYou wanna go out with him?\n\nWENDY\nWell, why not?\n\nELAINE\nWell, it's just that... uh, I don't...\n\nWENDY\nWhat, is there anything wrong with him?\n\nElaine stares off for several seconds, with a faraway look in\nher eyes.\n\nWENDY\nElaine?\n\nELAINE\nI'm just thinking about the question.\n\n(ProFitness Physical Therapy Center)\n\nGeorge is at the counter with his cheque book. He's moving his\nwrist and\n\nLower arm, clearly much more comfortable.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, my arm feels a lot better.\nThat Wendy really knows\n\nher stuff. (he writes out a cheque)\n\nRECEPTIONIST\n(perky) She is super. Same time tomorrow.\n\nGEORGE\n(tearing out cheque) Yeah, same time.\n(hands over cheque) There\n\nyou go.\n\nGeorge heads for the door. The receptionist looks at George's\ncheque\n\nand finds it's not up to scratch.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nOh. Ah, you owe a hundred and fifty.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat for?\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nWell, you cancelled on Tuesday, and\nour policy is\n\n\"twenty-four hours notice, for all cancellations\".\n\nGEORGE\n(agitated) Well, I, I couldn't come.\nI, I had to drive my\n\nmother to, to the chiropodist.\n\nWendy enters, carrying a file. She overhears.\n\nWENDY\nWhat's the problem?\n\nGEORGE\n(harassed) Are you aware that I'm being\ncharged for Tuesday's\n\nappointment? I had to take my mother to the chiropodist.\n\nWENDY\nWell, I'm sorry, that's our policy.\n\nWendy walks out, into another room.\n\nGEORGE\n(after Wendy and to the receptionist)\nOh, you have a policy!\n\n(to the world at large) The delicate genius has a policy!\n\nGeorge heads for the door.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nSo. Will you be here tomorrow?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's less than twenty-four hours,\nso I guess I have to!\n\nGeorge leaves, slamming the door behind him.\n\n(Lobby, Jerry's Building)\n\nKramer has covered one wall of the lobby with photographs of\nthe\n\ntenants. They're all labeled with the appropriate name in magic\nmarker. Kramer\n\nis just completing Jerry's name underneath the Polaroid he took\nearlier. Jerry\n\nand Elaine enter from the street.\n\nKRAMER\nHey! (indicating photos) So what d'you\nthink? You like it?\n\nElaine seems generally positive, Jerry's not so enamoured, especially\n\nby his own picture.\n\nJERRY\nOh my god! Look at that picture, it's\nterrible...\n\nThe Polaroid has caught Jerry with his mouth hanging open and\nhis eyes\n\nwide. It's not flattering in the slightest.\n\nJERRY\n...You can't put that picture up.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's not a beauty contest. It's\njust a way for people to\n\nget to\n\nknow one another.\n\nThe elevator opens and a guy (Steve) steps out. He points to\nKramer.\n\nSTEVE\nHey Cosmo.\n\nKRAMER\nHey...\n\nKramer turns to the wall of pictures, searches around for the\nface and\n\nthen\n\npoints back. Steve makes his way to the door as Kramer speaks.\n\nKRAMER\n...Steve. (to Jerry) Ah, you see?\n\nELAINE\nHey Kramer, my friend Wendy wants to\ngo out with you.\n\nKRAMER\n(interested) Well, how do you do?\n\nA woman (Mary) has entered from the street. She stands behind\nJerry and\n\nLooks through Kramer's gallery of tenants.\n\nMARY\nHello, (finds the right photo) Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nOh. Hello, uh (looks for and finds the\nphoto) Mary.\n\nMARY\nYou know, I've seen you so many times\nand now we can finally talk\n\nto each other.\n\nKRAMER\n(keen) What was I telling you? Isn't\nthis nice?\n\nJERRY\n(not really) Yeah.\n\nMARY\nJerry. You know, could you help me with\na package?\n\nJERRY\nOh, sure, yeah.\n\nMARY\nThank you.\n\nMary leans across and gives Jerry a quick kiss on the cheek,\nthen makes\n\nher way toward the door. Elaine is giggling gleefully at Jerry's\ndiscomfiture.\n\nJERRY\nOh, no!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry and Elaine enter. Jerry mad, and Elaine still giggling.\n\nJERRY\nYou see? That's just what I need. More\nkissing!\n\nELAINE\n(laughs) Hee, hee, hee. Hee hee hee...\n\nJERRY\nWhat is so funny?\n\nELAINE\nNothing, nothing. (laughs out loud)\n\nThe phone rings and Jerry picks up.\n\nJERRY\nHello. Oh, hi mom. (listens) What? Oh\nmy... He didn't?! He\n\ncouldn't! (listens) Alright, I will. (listens) Okay, bye.\n\nJerry hangs up the phone, and turns to Elaine.\n\nJERRY\n(aghast) Uncle Leo put Nana in a home!\n\nELAINE\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\n(suspicious) I don't know. Maybe to\nkeep her quiet.\n\n(Lobby, Jerry's Building)\n\nJerry is collecting his mail from his mailbox. A woman (Joan)\nenters\n\nAnd immediately goes for the kiss hello. She's friendly and overfamiliar.\n\nJOAN\nHi Jerry. (she kisses Jerry) Mmmwah.\n\nJERRY\n(not as eager) Hi Joan.\n\nJOAN\nHow you doing?\n\nJerry backs away toward the elevator.\n\nJERRY\nPretty good.\n\nJOAN\nJust pretty good? Not great?\n\nJERRY\nOkay, great.\n\nJOAN\nAre you happy?\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm delighted.\n\nJOAN\nOkay. Have a nice day.\n\nJERRY\nYou too.\n\nThe elevator comes down, the door opens and another woman (Louise)\n\nemerges, with a big friendly smile for Jerry.\n\nLOUISE\nHi Jerry.\n\nLouise also kisses the less than happy looking Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHi, Louise.\n\nLouise walks on and the unhappy Jerry enters the elevator.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry has just arrived with his mail. The door opens and Kramer\ndarts\n\ninto the room.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nAh, well. Thank you very much!\n\nKRAMER\nFor what?\n\nJERRY\n(agitated) For putting my picture up\non that wall! I'm like\n\nRichard Dawson down there now. And every person I see engages\nme in this long,\n\nboring, tedious, conversation. I can't even get out of the building!\n\nKRAMER\nYou should be thanking me for liberating\nyou from your world of\n\nloneliness and isolation. Now, you're part of a family.\n\nJERRY\nFamily?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nYou think I want another family? My\nfather's demanding my uncle\n\nPay interest on fifty dollars he was supposed to give my mother\nin\n\nnineteen-forty-one, and my uncle put my nana in a home to try\nand shut\n\nher up! And I tell you another thing, Cosmo Kramer, whatever\nyou wanna be\n\ncalled. The kissing thing is over. There's no more kissing, and\nI don't care what\n\nthe consequences are.\n\nAs Jerry reaches the end of his emphatic declaration, Kramer\ntakes\n\nJerry's head in his hands, leans in and plants a big kiss right\non Jerry's lips.\n\nHalfway through the kiss, the door opens and George half-enters.\nKramer\n\nreleases Jerry, who stands bug-eyed with shock. George stands\nsilently in the doorway,\n\nhe looks from Jerry to Kramer, with a thoughtful expression.\nBiting his lips,\n\nGeorge slowly backs out of the door and closes it behind him.\n\n(ProFitness Physical Therapy Centre)\n\nGeorge enters, and the receptionist spots him.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nOh, hi. Mister Costanza, we were trying\nto get in touch\n\nwith you. Wendy can't make her appointment.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat d'you mean?\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nShe had some personal affair she had\nto attend to. I left\n\nA message on your machine. You didn't get it?\n\nGEORGE\nWhen did you leave the message?\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nFew hours ago.\n\nGEORGE\n(pointedly) Oh, I'm sorry, I require\ntwenty-four hours notice\n\nfor a cancellation. Now, as I see it, you owe me seventy-five\ndollars.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nLook, Mister Costanza...\n\nGEORGE\nWill that be cash, or cheque?\n\nGeorge gives an exaggerated wink.\n\n(Wendy's Car)\n\nWendy driving into New York at night with Elaine as passenger.\nElaine\n\nis wearing much of her ski gear - woolly hat, with goggles on\ntop of her head, and\n\nthere are ski poles on the back seat.\n\nWENDY\nI am really glad I took the day off.\n\nELAINE\nOh, yeah, there's nothing better than\nskiing.\n\nWENDY\nYeah. I hope my clients weren't too\nupset.\n\nELAINE\nUgh, the hell with 'em.\n\nWendy and Elaine share a laugh. Wendy then starts to pull the\ncar over\n\nto the side of the road.\n\nELAINE\nWhat're you stopping here for?\n\nWENDY\nI'm dropping you off.\n\nELAINE\n(pointing) Oh, no, I'm three more blocks.\n\nWENDY\nYeah, but if I take you to your door,\nthen I have to go all the\n\nWay around Central Park West, back to Columbus, you know it's\nall one\n\nway...\n\nELAINE\nYeah, but it's only three blocks.\n\nWENDY\nRight. It's only three blocks.\n\nELAINE\n(unbuckling her seatbelt) Alright, well...\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine struggles along the sidewalk at night with her ski gear\nin her\n\narms. She's not finding it easy fighting with the uncomfortable\nbulk of skis,\n\npoles, boots, etc.. Eventually she drops the boots and, rather\nthan pick them\n\nup, simply kicks them along in front of her.\n\n(Street)\n\nJerry and Elaine walk together.\n\nELAINE\nShe'd driven me a hundred and twenty\nmiles and, all of a\n\nsudden, three blocks from my door, she decides this trip is over.\nIsn't that strange?\n\nJERRY\nYes, it's very strange. Very strange.\n\nELAINE\nI've never heard of anything like this.\nI mean, it's almost as\n\nif I was hitch-hiking and she says \"Well, this is as far as I\ncan take you.\"\n\nJERRY\nI tell you. If you were hitch-hiking,\nyou'd never get into a car\n\nWith someone with a hairdo like that.\n\nELAINE\nI had to carry my skis, and my boots\nand my poles. I think I\n\npinched a nerve in my shoulder.\n\nJERRY\nYou should have her work on it for you.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, alright, I gotta go.\n\n(Lobby, Jerry's Building)\n\nJerry enters his building. Mary spots him from across the lobby\nand\n\ncloses for a kiss hello.\n\nMAR\nHi Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHi Mary.\n\nJerry backs away from the kiss with so much effort that he's\nup against\n\nThe mailboxes.\n\nJERRY\nUh, listen. I decided I can't kiss hello\nanymore. I'm sorry.\n\nIt's nothing personal....\n\nMary looks upset by Jerry's outburst.\n\nJERRY\n...It just makes me a little uncomfortable\nand I can't do it.\n\nI'm sorry.\n\nThe door to the street opens and Louise enters, also friendly\nand\n\naiming for the kiss hello.\n\nLOU\nHi Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHi Louise...\n\nJerry backs sharply away from Louise as she leans in for the\nkiss.\n\nJERRY\n...I was just telling Mary how I'm not\ngonna be doing the kiss\n\nHello thing anymore. (continues backing away) I'm sorry. I just\ncan't do it.\n\nIt's nothing personal, it's just I'm not really able to do it\nand uh, I'm\n\nsorry.\n\nJerry backs into the elevator.\n\nJERRY\n(as the elevator doors close) Thank\nyou for your cooperation.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment/The Seinfeld's Place, Florida)\n\nJerry answers the phone.\n\nJERRY\nHello.\n\nHELEN\nJerry?\n\nJERRY\nHi mom. So, what's happening with uncle\nLeo? Is he paying you?\n\nIn Florida, Helen is on the phone and Morty is still working\nout\n\nfigures with a pad and a calculator.\n\nHELEN\nWell, he said no. He said we had no\nproof.\n\nMORTY\nNo proof? We'll get him. He's a crook,\nsooner or later, he'll\n\nslip up.\n\nHELEN\nUh, anyway, I want you to go check on\nNana at the home.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, I will.\n\nMORTY\nD'you realise, an above-average performing\ngrowth mutual fund\n\nFor fifty-three years...\n\n(Hall Outside Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry and Kramer emerge from their apartments.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat's up?\n\nJERRY\n(locking his door) Oh, I gotta go visit\nmy nana in the nursing\n\nhome.\n\nKRAMER\nOh.\n\nThey walk together down the hall.\n\n(Lobby, Jerry's Building)\n\nThe elevator doors open and Jerry and Kramer come out. Something\non the\n\nWall opposite catches Jerry's eye.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Kramer, look at this.\n\nJerry points and walks over to Kramer's gallery, Kramer following.\n\nJERRY\nLook at my picture!\n\nThe photograph has been crudely vandalised with a magic marker.\n\n'Grade-A Dork' has been written on the forehead, whiskers, spots,\nhorns and a wormlike\n\ntongue added and teeth blacked out.\n\nJERRY\nI've been defaced!\n\nKRAMER\nHey, don't you worry buddy. I made double\nprints.\n\nBehind Kramer a guy (Jack) has entered the building. Jack walks\nup\n\nbehind Kramer and slaps him on the shoulder in a friendly fashion.\n\nJACK\nHey. Hi Cosmo.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey, Jack. How you doing?\n\nJERRY\nHi Jack.\n\nJack gives Jerry an unfriendly look and walks to the elevator\nwithout\n\nreplying. Julio comes out of the elevator, and Jerry walks over\nto ask him\n\nsomething.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Julio. I was wondering, could you\nget to that shower today,\n\nYou think?\n\nJULIO\nOh, I see. When you need something done,\nyou're very friendly to\n\npeople, huh?\n\nJERRY\n(defensive) No no, that's not true!\n\nJULIO\n(accusing) Well, I think it is! It's\na big building, Seinfeld,\n\nmaybe I'll get to it someday. After I take care of the people\nwho're civil to each\n\nother.\n\nJulio stalks away. Jerry swings to give Kramer a look.\n\n(Knollridge Nursing Home)\n\nJerry is talking with a nurse on the porch.\n\nNURSE\nYeah, she's upstairs, playing cards.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, she really doesn't belong\nhere. My uncle put her here,\n\nBecause he's trying to prove he doesn't owe my mother fifty dollars.\n\nNURSE\nWell, she seems very happy. She met\nan old friend who used to\n\nlive next door to her.\n\nJERRY\nBuddy?\n\nNURSE\nYes, that's his name. He's right over\nthere.\n\nThe nurse indicates an elderly guy with a white moustache, wearing\na\n\ncap and reading a newspaper on a bench outside.\n\n(ProFitness Physical Therapy Centre)\n\nGeorge is talking with Wendy at the counter.\n\nWENDY\n(smiling) I'm sorry, I don't owe you\nanything. I had some\n\npersonal\n\nbusiness that day.\n\nGEORGE\n(irascible) Oh, I see. So your time\nis more valuable than mine.\n\nIs that it? You're a delicate genius!\n\nBehind George, Elaine has slipped in the door.\n\nWENDY\nA delicate genius?\n\nGeorge spots Elaine.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine?\n\nELAINE\n(surprised) George!\n\nGeorge stalks past Elaine and exits.\n\nGEORGE\n(leaving) Hah. Good luck.\n\nWENDY\nWhat's going on?\n\nELAINE\n(feeling her arm) Wendy, I injured my\nshoulder, Wednesday, when\n\nYou dropped me off and I had to carry my skis, and my boots,\nand my poles\n\nand everything, all the way home. I'm, I'm having trouble lifting\nmy arm.\n\nDo you think you could give me some treatment?\n\nWENDY\nOh sure. You have insurance, right?\n\nELAINE\n(shocked) Insurance? You're charging\nme?\n\nBehind Elaine, George is standing in the open door\n\nGEORGE\nWednesday? That's your personal business?!\n(stalks over to the\n\ncounter) Skiing?! (angry) So let people suffer, while you're\nshushing all over a\n\nmountain?\n\nWENDY\nHow did you hear that?\n\nGEORGE\nI hear everything.\n\nWENDY\nI mean, why don't you two just take\nyour business elsewhere,\n\nhmm?\n\nELAINE\nOh, huh huh, that is a good idea. C'mon\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Let's go.\n\nElaine and George, united, head for the door. AS they get there,\nElaine\n\nturns to deliver her parting shot.\n\nELAINE\n(pointedly) And you know, you might\nwanna do something about\n\nthat hair.\n\nWENDY\nWhy, what's wrong with my hair?\n\nELAINE\nHuh, I think it's a little old-fashioned.\nDon't you? (to\n\nreceptionist) Uh, tell her.\n\nRECEPTIONIST\nShe's right.\n\n(Nursing Home)\n\nJerry and Buddy sit on the bench, reminiscing.\n\nJERRY\nSo you were with him that day at the\ntrack?\n\nBUDDY\nOh yeah. He won a thousand dollars.\nHis son was there too.\n\nJERRY\nLeo?\n\nBUDDY\nYeah, that's it. Leo. Ooh, what an obnoxious\nlittle kid. He used\n\nto steal my soda bottles. and cash 'em in for the deposits, uh?\n\nJERRY\nIs that so?\n\nBUDDY\nAnd, after your grandfather hit the\ndaily double, he gave him a\n\nHundred dollars, and told him to give fifty to his sister. His\nsister? Why I\n\ntell you he shoulda give it to me for all the bottles he took!\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's very interesting.\n\nJust then, uncle Leo strolls up the path to the nursing home.\nJerry\n\nspots his arrival.\n\nJERRY\n(standing) Uncle Leo! I just met an\nold acquaintance of yours.\n\n(indicates Buddy) You remember Buddy. He just told me quite a\nstory about you and\n\nGrandpa at the track.\n\nLeo's caught out, and looks worried.\n\nLEO\n(defensive) One second...\n\nJERRY\n(with a triumphant point) You're busted!\n\n(Lobby, Jerry's Building)\n\nJerry enters from the street. Steve is in the lobby, collecting\nhis\n\nmail. Jerry decides to be friendly.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Steve. How you doing?\n\nSteve turns to Jerry, gives him a disdainful look, and turns\naway\n\nagain. Another guy (Jeff) approaches from within the building.\nJerry tries the\n\nfriendly approach again.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Jeff. What's happening?\n\nJeff completely blanks Jerry and goes to get his mail. Jerry\nspots Mary\n\nover by Kramer's gallery wall, and walks across to her.\n\nJERRY\nMary! Oh, Mary! Give us a kiss.\n\nMary moves to avoid Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nDon't be like that, Mary. C'mon, I made\na mistake!\n\nMARY\n(contemptuous) Look, why don't you do\neverybody a favour, and\n\njust get out of this building? (angry) Nobody wants you here.\nNobody!\n\nJerry looks downcast.

Why?\n\nBOSS\nNo reason.\n\nELAINE\nWell believe me this didn't happen overnight.\nRobert's not exactly a *one* *woman*\n*man*, if\n\nyou know what I mean. No sirree Bob. Sure, I mean in a lot of\nways, he's a typical guy, he likes his\n\nsports, but he counters that side with the side you see here\ntonight at the ballet, or the pleasure he gets in\n\nwatching Ms. Liza Minelli belt out a few choice numbers.

You're thinking conversion?\n\nELAINE\nWell it did occur to me.\n\nJERRY\nYou think you can get him to just change\nteams? He's not going to suddenly switch\nsides. Forget\n\nabout it.\n\nELAINE\nWhy? Is it irrevocable?\n\nJERRY\nBecause when you join that team it's\nnot a whim. He likes his team. He's\nset with that team.\n\nELAINE\nWe've got a good team.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, we do. We do have a good team.\n\nELAINE\nWhy can't he play for us?\n\nJERRY\nThey're only comfortable with *their*\nequipment.\n\nELAINE\nWe just got along *so* great.\n\nJERRY\nOf course you did.

I perceived a possibility\nJerry.\n\nJERRY\nYou realize you're venturing into uncharted\nwaters.\n\nELAINE\nI realize that.\n\nJERRY\nAre you that desperate?\n\nELAINE\nYes I am.\n\nAt Jerry's apartment.

I could spot that bird's\nnest two blocks away.\n\nGEORGE\nYou only think that because you know\nme.\n\nJERRY\nHave you noticed people staring at your\nhead?\n\nGEORGE\nI noticed people staring at my head\nbecause they like what they see.\n\nJERRY\nWell I think you should either take\nit off or tell her about it.\n\nKRAMER\nNo he's not going to take it off. If\nhe was going to go over there bald,\nI never would have\n\nintroduced him.\n\nGEORGE\nLook, I guarantee she won't know.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah that's it. All right, I'm going\nto go down to the precinct. I'm going\nto have lunch with Lou.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'll split a cab with you.\n\nWalking down the street.\n\nKRAMER\nHey I'm really sorry about the other\nday. Really sorry.\n\nKramer drops something into the man's cup.\n\nHOMELESS MAN\nHey that's my coffee!\n\nAt the police station\n\nJERRY\nHi Sarge.\n\nTIERNEY\nHi, I'm sorry I'm late. Some of our\nlineup decoys didn't show. Hey any of\nyou guys want to be in\n\nthe lineup? Make a quick 50 bucks?\n\nKRAMER\nSure. I will.\n\nTIERNEY\nPerfect. Just go over there with officer\nLampert.\n\nIn the lineup room.\n\n6 men stand there, one of which is Kramer.\n\nOVER THE SPEAKER\nAll of you, turn to the left.\n\nEveryone turns left. Kramer turns right.\n\nOVER THE SPEAKER\nThe left.\n\nKramer turns left.\n\nOVER THE SPEAKER\nNow turn to the right.\n\nKramer turns to the right doing a \"hokey pokey\" dance.\n\nAt Monk's.\n\nGEORGE\n(thinking to himself) Oh my god, there\nshe is. That's the face, just like the\npicture.\n\nDENISE\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Hi. It's great to meet you.\n\nDENISE\nLikewise. Have you been waiting long?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. I just got here. A few minutes\nago.\n\nDENISE\nGood, good.\n\nGEORGE\nWell why don't you take off your hat\nand stay awhile.\n\nCamera is on George. Denise takes off her hat. The camera is\nstill on George. His expression changes to surprise.\n\nAt the police station.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's that?\n\nTIERNEY\nA polygraph. It's what you civilians\ncall a lie detector test.\n\nJERRY\nOh. Let me ask you, when someone is\nlying, is it true that their pants are\nactually on fire?\n\nTIERNEY\nIf I could tell you the famous faces\nthat have been up here. A certain cast\nmember of Melrose\n\nPlace.\n\nJERRY\nReally.\n\nTIERNEY\nHave you ever seen the show?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nTIERNEY\nYou can admit it Jerry. It's okay.\n\nJERRY\nI admit it. I don't watch it.\n\nTIERNEY\nHey Lou, maybe we should put him on\nthe poly.\n\nJERRY\nThe poly?\n\nTIERNEY\nYeah. I think you've seen it.\n\nAt Jerry's apartment.\n\nELAINE\nMelrose Place?\n\nJERRY\nYes. Melrose Place.\n\nELAINE\nI just didn't know you watched that.\n\nJERRY\nWell I do.\n\nELAINE\nI mean every time I mention it you never\nsay anything or join in the conversation.\n\nJERRY\nWell maybe I was a little embarrassed.\n\nELAINE\nYou mean this whole time we could have\nbeen discussing Sydney and Michael and\nJane...\n\nJERRY\nAnd Billy and Jake and Allison, yes\nwe could have discussed it.\n\nELAINE\nWhy? Why were you so embarrassed?\n\nJERRY\nThe point is I'm going to be taking\nthis lie detector test and that needle's\ngoing to be going wild.\n\nELAINE\nThat is *so* stupid. Why don't you just\nconfess?\n\nJERRY\nIt's too stupid to confess. Look at\nwhat I'm confessing to.\n\nELAINE\nSo what are you going to do?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. Maybe I can beat the machine.\n\nELAINE\nOh, who do you think you are? Castanza?\n\nJERRY\nHey you know what? I have access to\none of the most deceitful, duplicitous,\ndeceptive minds of our\n\ntime. Who better to advise me?\n\nElaine takes a drink of something.\n\nELAINE\nOh god this tastes terrible.\n\nJERRY\nDid you shake it up?\n\nELAINE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nYou gotta shake it up.\n\nELAINE\nNo. I'm sick of shaking. You've got\nto shake everything.\n\nJerry picks up the bottle and shakes it gently.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that's a real nuisance. This is\nkilling me.\n\nELAINE\nSo, I'm going out tonight with Robert\nand the boss and his wife.\n\nJERRY\nSo tonight are you going to make the\nmove?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I think I might.\n\nGeorge enters.\n\nJERRY\nHey there he is. So what happened? Could\nshe detect it?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's an interesting question.\n\nJERRY\nHow so?\n\nGEORGE\nHow so? I'll tell you how so. She's\nbald!\n\nELAINE\nWhat do you mean bald?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do you think I mean bald? Bald.\nBald bald.\n\nJERRY\nShe's bald?\n\nGEORGE\nShe's bald.\n\nELAINE\nOh come on.\n\nGEORGE\nOh come on? No come on. She took off\nher hat and there she was (waving his\nhand over his\n\nhead) hello. It was like I was looking at myself in the mirror.\n\nELAINE\nWell maybe she got a haircut or something.\n\nGEORGE\nLet me tell you something. No one walks\ninto a beauty parlor and says \"Give\nme the Larry Fine.\"\n\nJERRY\nWomen go bald?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I've heard of that. I mean they\nusually wear a wig.\n\nKramer enters.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nGEORGE\nYou fixed me up with a bald woman.\n\nKramer flinches.\n\nKRAMER\nBald?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, that's right.\n\nELAINE\nDo you see the irony here? You're rejecting\nsomebody because they're bald.\n\nGEORGE\nSo?\n\nELAINE\n(puts her hands up to her mouth) You're\nbald!\n\nGEORGE\nNo I'm not. I *was* bald.\n\nElaine grabs at the toupee, George dodges the grab.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine.\n\nElaine grabs again and misses. George turns around and opens\nthe door trying to get out. Elaine grabs the\n\ntoupee and runs to the window.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no, no Elaine.\n\nELAINE\n(shouting) I don't like this thing.\nAnd here's what I'm doing with it.\n\nShe tosses the toupee out the window.\n\nGEORGE\nNooooo.\n\nHe runs to the window, and the blind comes down on his head.\n\nOutside.\n\nThe homeless man is walking down the street and sees the toupee.\nHe puts it on.\n\nAt Elaine's apartment.\n\nROBERT\nHahaha, why'd you start that fight with\nme?\n\nELAINE\nWell I figured that's what couples do.\n\nROBERT\nYou almost convinced me we were a couple.\n\nELAINE\nWell it was easy. Really.\n\nROBERT\nWell good night, I'll call you tomorrow.\n\nELAINE\nOh, uh, wait a second. Would you like\nto come, upstairs?\n\nROBERT\nUpstairs?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Upstairs?\n\nROBERT\nElaine...\n\nELAINE\nI was hoping you know, that you might\nbe interested in... changing teams?\n\nROBERT\nChanging teams?\n\nELAINE\nHave you ever thought about it?\n\nROBERT\nBut I'm a starting shortstop.\n\nELAINE\nRobert, we need a shortstop. *Real bad*.\n\nAt Monk's.\n\nGEORGE\nI tell you, when she threw that toupee\nout the window, it was the best thing\nthat ever happened to\n\nme. I feel like my old self again. Totally inadequate, completely\ninsecure, paranoid, neurotic, it's a\n\npleasure.\n\nJERRY\nGood to have you back.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd you know what else I've decided\nto do? I'm going to keep seeing the\nbald woman.\n\nJERRY\nShe's as good as anybody else.\n\nGEORGE\nHer scalp was clean. She had a nice\nskull. There just wasn't a lot of hair\non it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah you've had like a religious awakening.\nYou're like a bald-again.\n\nGEORGE\nGoing to need a little more coffee here.\n\nJERRY\nSo George, how do I beat this lie detector?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sorry, Jerry I can't help you.\n\nJERRY\nCome on, you've got the gift. You're\nthe only one that can help me.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, I can't. It's like saying to\nPavorotti, \"Teach me to sing like you.\"\n\nJERRY\nAll right, well I've got to go take\nthis test. I can't believe I'm doing\nthis.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, just remember. It's not a lie...\nif you believe it.\n\nOutside on the street. Jerry and Elaine walking toward each other.\n\nELAINE\nHey, I did it.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nI turned him. He defected.\n\nJERRY\nGet out! (pushes Elaine) How? How did\nyou do that?\n\nELAINE\nBecause I'm a *woman*. (swiveling her\nhips) Ba-ba-ba-boom-chicka-boom-chicka-boom-boom-\n\nboom.\n\nJERRY\nElaine, do you know what you've done?\nYou've give hope to every woman who's\never said \"Too\n\nbad he's gay\".\n\nELAINE\nWell it's a lesson for the kids out\nthere.

He tricked\n\nher into giving him half her business, and then she goes ahead\nand sleeps with him again. I mean she's\n\ncrazy. How could she do something like that? Oh that Jane, she\nmakes me so mad.\n\nHe picks up his coat and leaves.\n\nAt Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nHe went back? What do you mean he went\nback?\n\nELAINE\nHe went back.\n\nJERRY\nI don't understand it. You were having\nsuch a great time, the sex, the shopping.\n\nELAINE\nWell here's the thing. Being a woman,\nI only really have access to the, uh...\nequipment, what,\n\nthirty, forty-five minutes a week. And that's on a good week.\nHow can I be expected to have the same\n\nexpertise as people who *own* this equipment, and have access\nto it twenty-four hours a day, their entire\n\nlives.\n\nJERRY\nYou can't. That's why they lose very\nfew players.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I guess I never really stood a\nchance.\n\nJERRY\nWell there's always a place for you,\non our team.\n\nELAINE\nYeah. (teary-eyed) Thanks.

Elaine's\nproud of me Jerry.\n\nELAINE\nWhat is the matter?\n\nGEORGE\nI got rejected by a bald woman. A bald\nwoman rejected me. Heh, you like that\none? A woman\n\nwith no prospects and no *hair*, told me that I wasn't her type.\nApparently *baldy* likes a slimmer guy.\n\nKRAMER\nWell I'll tell you what I think. I think\nshe saw you with that piece off and\nwas devastated. You\n\nblew it boy. You really blew it. And you had to ruin it for him.\nDidn't you?\n\nELAINE\nI didn't ruin anything. He looked like\nan idiot. He did, and it made him act\nlike a jerk.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, shut up, shut up, Melrose\nPlace is coming on.\n\nTheme song of Melrose Place plays on the TV.\n\nJERRY\nOh that Michael, I hate him, he's just\nso smug.\n\n(commercial)\n\nAt the police station.

Now you\nwouldthink, if any group of people would\nnot wanna demonstrate what life would\nbe like without them, it would be doormen.\n(as belligerent doorman) \"Let's see\nhow they do without us!\" There's no\ndoorman, people open the door, they\nwalk in, it's... you know. Who's gonna\nwalk out next? The guys who clean your\nwindshield at the traffic light, with\nthe dirty rag? (as window washer) \"We\ndemand shorter yellows, and longer reds!\"\n\n(Lobby, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nJerry comes in from the street and walks toward the elevators.\nA doorman, stood\n\nreading a newspaper on a counter, objects. There's an undertone\nto the doorman's\n\nvoice - unfriendly, contemptuous, even an edge of menace.\n\nDOORMAN\nWhoah, whoah, whoah. (rises and turns\nto Jerry) May I help you?\n\nJERRY\n(indicates with his thumb) Yeah, I'm\njust going up to see Elaine Benes.\n\nDOORMAN\n(unfriendly smile) Benes? (moves toward\nJerry) No-one here by that\n\nname.\n\nJERRY\nOh, she's uh, she's house-sitting for\nMr. Pitt.\n\nDOORMAN\nOh. House-sitting, mmm.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nDOORMAN\nWhat're you, the boyfriend? Here for\na... quickie?\n\nJERRY\nCan I just go up?\n\nDOORMAN\nOh, I get it. Why waste time making\nsmall talk with the doorman? I\n\nshould just shut up and do my job, opening the door for you.\n\nThe doorman wanders back to his newspaper. Jerry shrugs and pushes\nthe button\n\nfor one of the elevators. There's a pause as he waits for it\nto arrive. The\n\ndoorman stands holding his paper, staring at Jerry, with the\nunfriendly smile on\n\nhis face. Jerry throws a smile of his own back. The elevator\nis still not\n\nmoving. Jerry tries to break the uncomfortable silence.\n\nJERRY\nHow 'bout those Knicks?\n\nDOORMAN\nOh, I see. On the sports page...\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nDOORMAN\n...What makes you think I wasn't reading\nthe Wall Street page? Oh, I\n\nknow, because I'm the uneducated doorman.\n\nJerry turns away and looks at the indicator, hoping that the\nelevator will come\n\nand rescue him.\n\n(Street)\n\nGeorge and Kramer walk along together.\n\nKRAMER\nSo, you think your parents'll get back\ntogether?\n\nGEORGE\nI hope so. I can't take him living with\nme much longer. He makes this\n\nkasha, it stinks up the whole house.\n\nKramer has noticed a 'Sightseeing Tour' bus on the street, with\na German flag\n\npainted on the door. It gives him an idea. Kramer steps in front\nof George and\n\nbrings them to a halt.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, George, stick 'em up.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nFor these German tourists. Pretend that\nI'm robbing you.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy?\n\nKRAMER\nSo these people can go back home and\ntell their friends they saw a real\n\nNew York mugging. It'll give them a thrill.\n\nKramer pushes his hand deep into a pocket and raises his arm,\ngiving the\n\nimpression that he has a gun concealed beneath his coat.\n\nKRAMER\nAwright, hands up, porky!\n\nOn the tourist bus, the occupants attention is attracted. They\nlook out the\n\nwindow at the 'mugging'. George has his hands up, and Kramer\nis feeling through\n\nGeorge's pockets with his free hand.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's it. Now, gimme your wallet. Got\nit in here, huh, fat boy!\n\nThe tourist are looking out of the bus. Shocked, they knock on\nthe glass. Kramer\n\ngrabs George by the collar of his jacket and is shaking him violently.\n\nKRAMER\n(aggressive) Is that all you got?! Hah?\nIs that all you got?!\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, that's enough.\n\nKRAMER\nI'll tell you when it's enough! (he\nreleases George) Alright, now you\n\nbetter not say anything, or I'll stalk you!\n\nKramer walks away. The tourists stare, horrified at what they've\nwitnessed.\n\n(Mr. Pitt's Apartment)\n\nElaine admits Jerry to the apartment.\n\nELAINE\nWhere've you been? We're gonna miss\nthe movie, let's go.\n\nElaine collects her bag, in readiness to leave.\n\nJERRY\nI am not going back down there. I can't\nface that guy again.\n\nELAINE\nWhat guy?\n\nJERRY\nThe doorman. I don't wanna play anymore\nof his mindgames. What time does\n\nhe get off?\n\nELAINE\nSix. But then the night doorman comes\non. He's much scarier. (scary\n\nnoise) Whugh! (laughs) Ha-ha.\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's almost six now. Can't we\njust wait til he goes home?\n\nELAINE\n(unhappy) I...\n\nJERRY\nWe'll still make the movie.\n\nELAINE\n(accepting) Okay, okay.\n\nJerry and Elaine sit on the couch to wait. They simultaneously\nlook at their\n\nwatches.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nGeorge and Kramer wear their jackets, ready to leave. Frank is\nin a shirt,\n\nmixing a bowl (of kasha?) as they talk.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat'd you do today, dad?\n\nFRANK\nToday, I went record shopping in Greenwich\nVillage. I bought this record,\n\nbut I can't seem to find the hi-fi.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't have a hi-fi.\n\nFRANK\nDidn't I give you my old record player?\n\nGEORGE\n(leaving to the bedroom) I gave it to\nCosmo.\n\nFRANK\nCosmo? Who's Cosmo?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm Cosmo.\n\nFRANK\nWell, I want it back. I wanna listen\nto that cha-cha record.\n\nKRAMER\n(little dance) One-two, cha-cha-cha.\n\nGEORGE\n(coming back in) Alright, alright. Can\nwe go out and eat?\n\nFRANK\n(putting down the bowl) Lemme change\nmy shirt.\n\nGeorge and Kramer stand together, by George's computer. Frank\nunfastens his\n\nshirt and opens it. Kramer and George turn and see Frank's torso\nexposed as the\n\nshirt comes off. Kramer's eyebrows go up in surprise. George\nlooks horrified,\n\nand puts his hand to his mouth like he's going to vomit.\n\n(Mr. Pitt's Apartment)\n\nElaine still sits on the couch. Jerry is standing at the window,\nholding the\n\ncurtain open and looking down at the street.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, it's six. (claps her hands) Let's\ngo.\n\nJERRY\nUh, that doorman's still milling around\noutside. He's very peculiar.\n\nThe phone on Mr. Pitt's desk rings. Jerry is nearer, so he moves\nto answer it.\n\nELAINE\nNo, don't...\n\nJERRY\n(picks up phone) Hello? (listens) Oh,\nhi Mr. Pitt.\n\nElaine looks exasperated.\n\nELAINE\n(quietly) Give that to me.\n\nELAINE\n(taking the phone) Hello Mr. Pitt. How's\nScotland?\n\nMr. Pitt sits in a comfortable chair in Scotland.\n\nMR. PITT\n(concerned) Elaine, are you having a\nparty?\n\nELAINE\nA party. Oh no, that was just my stupid\nfriend Jerry.\n\nJerry is peering out of the window again.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, he just left. We can go.\n\nMR. PITT\n(stern) Because there's to be no entertaining\nwhile I'm gone.\n\nELAINE\nBelieve me, we're not entertained. We\nwere just leaving. (to Jerry) Oh,\n\ncan you grab those empty bottles for me.\n\nJerry picks up a paper sack of empty bottles from the floor by\nthe desk.\n\nMR. PITT\nI need to know what's in the mail.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well, Mr. Pitt, there's really nothing\nthat can't wait. We're trying\n\nto catch a movie.\n\nMR. PITT\n(resolute) Well, you better catch the\nlater show, because I need to\n\nknow what's in the mail.\n\nELAINE\nAlright. (to Jerry, upset) I can't go.\n\nJerry gives an irritated glance upwards and goes to leave.\n\n(Lobby, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nJerry emerges from the elevator (without the bottles). There\nis a new doorman on\n\nduty, who gives Jerry a friendly nod and smile and holds the\ndoor open for him.\n\nJerry nods and smiles back, and leaves.\n\n(Mr. Pitt's Apartment)\n\nElaine is kneeling with the phone. She has Mr. Pitt's mail spread\nout on the\n\nfloor in front of her and is going through it for Mr. Pitt's\nbenefit.\n\nELAINE\n...Uhm, the new Time magazine. The new\nPeople...\n\nMR. PITT\n(piqued interest) Oh, who's on the cover?\n\n(Street)\n\nJerry walks down the street. He passes a doorway, where stands\na familiar\n\nfigure. The doorman still has the attitude problem.\n\nDOORMAN\nHey, buddy.\n\nJERRY\n(surprise) You? Wh...what're you doing\nhere? You work at this building\n\ntoo?\n\nDOORMAN\nAh, sure. Poor doorman has to work two\njobs to put food on the table\n\nfor mother and baby. (supercilious) No, I live here. That's okay,\nisn't it?\n\nJERRY\nSo you work all day as a doorman at\none building. Then you come home and\n\nstand outside your own building?\n\nDOORMAN\nYou got a problem with that?\n\nJERRY\nLook, I'm not going in your building.\nI really don't have to talk to you.\n\nGoodbye.\n\nJerry walks away.\n\nDOORMAN\n(calling after Jerry) You really think\nyou're better than me, don't\n\nyou?!\n\n(Monk's)\n\nGeorge and Kramer sit one side of a booth, facing Jerry. George\nis wearing a\n\npurple shirt. Kramer's eating a sandwich heartily. George looks\nas if he might\n\nnever want to eat again.\n\nGEORGE\nMy father opened his shirt...\n\nJERRY\nYeah, and?\n\nGEORGE\n(nods to Kramer) Tell him, Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\n(matter of fact) He had breasts.\n\nGeorge nods, Jerry has a confused expression. Kramer keeps on\neating. Jerry\n\nthinks for a moment, George can't even look anyone in the eye.\n\nJERRY\nWhat d'you mean, breasts?\n\nGEORGE\n(waves his hands) Big breasts!\n\nJERRY\nSo what? A lot of older men have that.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, not these. These were real hooters.\n\nJerry pulls a face at the thought.\n\nGEORGE\nI was throwing up all night. It was\nlike my own personal Crying Game.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, maybe you're gonna get 'em too,\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\n(worried) Yeah, that's right. What if\nit's a genetic thing, like father\n\nlike son?\n\nJERRY\nBut, your father's not bald.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no no. That skips a generation.\nThe baldness gene comes from your\n\ngrandfather.\n\nJERRY\nThen I suppose the bosom gene comes\nfrom your grandmother.\n\nGeorge snaps his finger and points, in agreement with Jerry.\nHe continues to\n\nlook deeply worried.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, Frank can't be too comfortable\nwith those things clanging\n\naround. He should wear something for support.\n\nGEORGE\nYou mean like a bra?\n\nKRAMER\nA bra is for ladies. I'm talking about\na support undergarment\n\nspecifically designed for men.\n\nJERRY\nBoy, that brain never stops working,\ndoes it?\n\nKRAMER\nI tell you, I'm gonna go noodle with\nthis.\n\nKramer leaves. A buxom blonde woman in a purple shirt is making\nher way to the\n\ndoor, as she passes the booth she notices George.\n\nBUXOM WOMAN\n(indicating her shirt with her finger)\nHey, we're twins.\n\nGEORGE\n(thinking she means the breasts) What!!\n\nBUXOM WOMAN\nOur shirts. They're the same.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, Huh, imagine that.\n\nThe woman smiles and leaves. Elaine enters Monk's and comes over\nto Jerry. She's\n\nnot happy about something.\n\nELAINE\n(to Jerry) What? What'd you say to the\ndoorman?\n\nJERRY\nWhat? Nothing.\n\nELAINE\n(sitting beside Jerry) He claims that\nyou followed him home, and started\n\nharassing him.\n\nJERRY\nWhat has this guy got a personal vendetta\nwith me?! What'd I do to him?\n\n'Cos I asked him about the Knicks?\n\nELAINE\nHey, did you make the movie?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nELAINE\nYou wanna go tonight? You can pick me\nup.\n\nJERRY\nAlright. Can we go to a later show,\nso he's off his shift when I come by?\n\nELAINE\nUgh. So now we have to rearrange our\nlives to avoid the doorman?\n\nJERRY\nYes, we do.\n\nElaine looks over at George, wondering what he's doing. George\nis holding the\n\nneck of his shirt open, and is peering down the inside of the\ngarment at his\n\nchest. As Elaine and Jerry watch, George jiggles his upper body,\nto see if\n\nthere's any movement.\n\nELAINE\nWhat is wrong with George?\n\nJERRY\nHe's... trying to get something off\nhis chest.\n\nGeorge ends his experiment, and rises to leave. He digs in his\nwallet to pay the\n\ncheque.\n\nGEORGE\n(agitated) Alright, I gotta try and\ntalk my mother into taking him off\n\nmy hands.\n\n(Lobby, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nJerry enters from the street, only to find the unpleasant doorman\nstanding\n\ninside the lobby. The doorman's demeanour hasn't improved.\n\nDOORMAN\nHelp you?\n\nJERRY\n(jumps in surprise) Hoh! What're you\ndoing here? You're supposed to be\n\ngone.\n\nDOORMAN\nI traded shifts with the night doorman.\nHe had some personal affairs to\n\nattend to. You see, my fellow doorman and I watch out for each\nother. We don't\n\nstab each other in the back, like people in your world.\n\nJERRY\n(trying to ease the tension) Look, I\ndon't want any trouble. I don't have\n\na doorman in my building. I guess I'm just not used to talking\nto them. I'd\n\nreally just like to be friends.\n\nDOORMAN\nYou wanna be friends?\n\nJERRY\nI'd like to be.\n\nDOORMAN\nThen watch the door for a minute, would\nyou?\n\nThe doorman swaps places with Jerry, putting Jerry beside the\ncounter.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nDOORMAN\nYeah, I just wanna run and get a beer.\nI'll be back in a minute.\n\nJERRY\nWha...? Wai... wait a second. What do\nI do?\n\nDOORMAN\nIt's not brain surgery. You open the\ndoor for people who live here.\n\nAnd, if they don't live here, don't let them in. (takes off his\nhat) Here.\n\n(putting it on Jerry's head) Wear that.\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nThe doorman goes out the door. Jerry takes off the hat, which\nhe's not thrilled\n\nabout wearing, and leans on the counter. The doors of an elevator\nopen, and a\n\nyoung woman pushing a baby buggy emerges and heads for the exit.\nAfter a second,\n\nJerry realises his job. He puts on the hat and opens the door\nto allow the woman\n\nto leave. AS he opens the door, a man enters and strolls past\nJerry into the\n\nelevator vacated by the woman.\n\nJERRY\n(to the man in the elevator) Hey, hey.\nWait a second. Hey! Hello!\n\nThe man takes no notice of Jerry, the doors close. The street\ndoor opens and\n\nanother, older guy, enters. Jerry moves and challenges him.\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey, wait a second. You live here?\n\nMR. GREEN\n(indignant) Of course I live here. I've\nlived here for twenty years.\n\nNow, if you don't let me in, I'm going to call the police and\nhave you arrested.\n\nJerry steps aside and motions for the guy to carry on into the\nbuilding, but he\n\nlooks resentful about it.\n\nJERRY\n(after the guy) You think you're better\nthan me?\n\n(Bus)\n\nGeorge is riding the bus. As the vehicle travels along the street,\nit rattles,\n\nshakes and shudders like all poorly maintained public transport.\nGeorge is\n\nstrap-hanging, and he gets a worried look as he feels there might\nbe some\n\nmovement on his chest. He puts his hands on his chest, then notices\nanother guy\n\non the buss looking at him. Self-consciously, George pulls his\ncoat tight shut,\n\nand crosses his arms firmly.\n\n(Lobby, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nJerry is standing behind the counter, reading the doorman's newspaper.\nA FedEx\n\ndelivery guy enters with a package, lays it on the counter and\nscans a barcode\n\non it with a little device he takes from his pocket. Jerry watches,\n\ndisinterested. There is a brief pause, as the FedEx guy waits\nfor something.\n\nDELIVERY GUY\n(indicating) You have to sign for it.\n\nJERRY\nOh, right.\n\nJerry takes the FedEx guy's pen and signs for the package, then\ngoes back to the\n\nnewspaper.\n\nDELIVERY GUY\n(with a smile) Hey, how 'bout those\nKnicks, huh?\n\nJerry gives the guy a hostile look, much as the doorman might.\n\nJERRY\n(dismissive) Yeah, yeah, yeah.\n\nThe FedEx guy leaves, looking a touch unhappy at Jerry's attitude.\nJerry puts\n\nthe paper down, and goes to have a look through the door. There's\nno sign of the\n\ndoorman, so Jerry tosses the hat onto the counter, dismissing\nit with a wave of\n\nthe hand as he moves to the elevator.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nFrank opens the door, to reveal Kramer, carrying a large portable\nrecord player.\n\nKRAMER\nHey. I uh, brought back your record\nplayer, huh.\n\nFRANK\nThank you, Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nFRANK\n(indicating a chair) Put it over there.\n\nKramer dumps the record player on the chair. Frank goes to the\ncouch, not moving\n\nvery easily.\n\nKRAMER\nSo, how you feeling?\n\nFRANK\nTired.\n\nKRAMER\nUh huh. Your back hurt?\n\nFRANK\nHow did you know?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's obvious, you know. You're\ncarrying a lot of extra baggage up\n\nthere.\n\nFRANK\n(looks down, and indicates his chest)\nUp here?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yeah. Top floor. (sits beside Frank)\nListen, Frank, have you ever\n\nconsidered wearing something for support? Now, look at this.\n(reaches into his\n\npocket) Mind you, this is just a prototype.\n\nKramer brings out a garment constructed of canvas and elasticated\nfabric.\n\nFRANK\nYou want me to wear a bra?!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. A bra is for ladies.\n\nKramer holds the garment up to his own chest.\n\nKRAMER\nMeet, the bro.\n\n(Estelle's Car)\n\nEstelle is driving a preoccupied-looking George.\n\nESTELLE\nSo, is your father excited about coming\nhome?\n\nGeorge is miles away.\n\nESTELLE\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\n(broaching a subject) Hey mom. What\nkind of woman was grandma?\n\nESTELLE\nAll of a sudden you're interested in\nyour grandmother?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you know. You get to a certain\npoint, you wanna know about your\n\nroots.\n\nESTELLE\nShe was a lovely woman.\n\nGEORGE\nYuh. What about physically?\n\nESTELLE\nPhysically?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, you know, what'd she uh, look\nlike?\n\nESTELLE\nWell, you've seen pictures.\n\nGEORGE\n(to himself) You can't tell much from\nthose pictures.\n\nESTELLE\nSo what?\n\nGEORGE\nWas she uh, was she a big, uh woman?\n\nESTELLE\nBig? No, just my height.\n\nGEORGE\nBosomy?\n\nESTELLE\nBosomy? You wanna know if your grandmother\nwas bosomy?!\n\nGEORGE\n(trying to laugh it off) No, I was just\nwondering. The information could\n\nbe relevant.\n\nESTELLE\nWhere do you get your genes from?!\n\nGEORGE\n(to himself) That's what I'd like to\nknow.\n\n(Elevator, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nElaine and Jerry ride down.\n\nELAINE\nI can't believe you left your post.\n\nJERRY\nHe left me there. You see the mind games?\n\nThe bell rings as they reach the lobby, and the doors open.\n\n(Lobby, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nElaine and Jerry emerge into the lobby to find four or five tenants\nstanding\n\naround, and a uniformed cop taking notes.\n\nELAINE\n(to one of the tenants) Hey, what's\nup? What's going on here?\n\nTENANT 1\nSomebody stole the couch out of the\nlobby.\n\nJerry and Elaine look shocked.\n\nTENANT 2\nWhere's the doorman? How come someone\nwasn't watching the door?\n\nELAINE\n(quietly to Jerry) Jerry, let's get\nout of here.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nElaine and Jerry depart the scene of the crime in some haste.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nFrank's cha-cha record is playing loudly on the record player.\nFrank and Kramer\n\nare half-dancing to the music, as Frank tries on the bro. Kramer\nstands behind\n\nFrank, making adjustments to the garment. The door opens and\nGeorge and Estelle\n\nenter. They see the dancing twosome, and the undergarment, and\nlook stunned.\n\nESTELLE\n(shocked) Oh, my god!\n\nGeorge is frozen, staring. Kramer carries on dancing, behind\na relatively\n\nunfazed Frank.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nThe lighting, with moonlight coming through the blinds, and Elaine's\nred dress,\n\ngive a very noirish look to the scene.\n\nELAINE\nWhat were you doing watching the door\nanyway?\n\nJERRY\nHe asked me to. We were getting along.\n\nELAINE\n(thinking) You know, my fingerprints\nare all over this. That doorman\n\nknows you're a friend of mine. He'll tell that co-op lady, she'll\ntell Mr.\n\nPitt... Jerry, I'm in this too deep.\n\nJERRY\nDon't you find it odd that as soon as\nhe leaves, the couch gets stolen?\n\nMaybe he's setting me up!\n\nELAINE\n(taking command) Alright, shut up. Shut\nup. Just let me think. I gotta\n\nthink. We gotta get our story straight.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, well what if we say...\n\nELAINE\nAlright, (claps hands) here it is. This\nis what we'll tell 'em. You came\n\nto pick me up...\n\nJERRY\nI came to pick you up.\n\nELAINE\nYeah. That's what I just said.\n\nJERRY\nI know. I was just...\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I know what you were just. It's\nnot helping.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, well. Just, start again, then.\n\nELAINE\nOkay, you came to pick me up at...\n\nJERRY\nRight.\n\nELAINE\nYou see? Again.\n\nJERRY\nWhat? I said right.\n\nElaine give Jerry a look like he's an idiot.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, you came right upstairs, without\ntalking to the doorman.\n\nJERRY\nBut the doorman's gonna say that I was\nthere.\n\nELAINE\n(intense) So what? No-one's gonna believe\na doorman!\n\nJERRY\nBut I don't know if this is gonna work.\n\nELAINE\n(aggressive, with finger pointing) Just\nstick with the story. We'll be\n\nfine. Let me do the talking!\n\nJERRY\nOkay.\n\nELAINE\nGood. Now fix me a drink.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nFrank has his shirt back on, over the bro.\n\nKRAMER\nHow's that feel?\n\nFRANK\nThis feels very comfortable.\n\nKRAMER\nYou see?\n\nFRANK\nI feel ten years younger.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, and your posture's a lot better.\nLook at you.\n\nFrank walks a few paces.\n\nFRANK\nAnd I can breathe easier, too.\n\nKRAMER\nI told you! Now, Frank, listen. Here's\nwhat I'm thinking. Now, you have\n\na friend in the bra business, right?\n\nFRANK\nOf course. Sid Farkus. He's the best\nin the business.\n\nKRAMER\n(claps his hands) Here's our chance.\nWhat d'you say? It'll be me, you\n\nand the bro, bro.\n\nFRANK\nLet's do it!\n\nKramer and Frank share an elaborate and forceful handshake.\n\nFRANK\nExcept, we gotta do something about\nthe name.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy, what's wrong with bro?\n\nFRANK\nNo, bro's no good. Too ethnic.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, you got something better?\n\nFRANK\nHow 'bout uh... the mansiere?\n\nKRAMER\nMansiere?\n\nFRANK\nThat's right. A brassiere for a man.\nThe mansiere, get it?\n\nGeorge enters, unhappy. He tosses his keys aside.\n\nGEORGE\n(upset) Well, you've scared her off.\nWe may never see mom again.\n\nFRANK\nHey George, what d'you like better?\nThe bro, or the mansiere?\n\nGeorge looks down at the floor for a few seconds.\n\nGEORGE\nDad. We need to talk.\n\n(Lobby, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nThe unpleasant doorman is being grilled by a severe looking Mrs.\nPayton.\n\nDOORMAN\nI had to use the bathroom, so I asked\nthis guy to watch the door for a\n\nfew minutes.\n\nBehind Mrs. Payton, Elaine enters from the street and strolls\nto the elevator.\n\nMRS. PAYTON\nWhy should I believe you?\n\nDOORMAN\n(indicating Elaine) Actually, it was\nher friend.\n\nElaine turns as she hears this, and Mrs. Payton goes to talk\nto her. Elaine\n\nlooks a tad worried at first but, of course, she has a plan.\n\nMRS. PAYTON\nI was just speaking to the doorman here,\nabout the couch robbery.\n\nThe doorman peers over at the conversing\n\nELAINE\nOh really? (skeptical) The doorman.\nAnd, pray tell, what did the doorman\n\nsay?\n\nMRS. PAYTON\nHe said he asked a friend of yours to\nwatch the door.\n\nELAINE\n(dismissive) Oh, my. Well, the doorman\ncertainly has a wild imagination,\n\ndoesn't he?\n\nMeanwhile, the doorman has discovered something behind the counter.\nHe brings\n\nout the FedEx package Jerry signed for and carried it toward\nMrs. Payton.\n\nDOORMAN\nWell... what do we have here? Perhaps\nMiss Benes could explain why a\n\nJerry Seinfeld signed for this package (handing the package to\nMrs. Payton) at\n\nthe exact same time the couch was stolen.\n\nMrs. Payton and the doorman both look at Elaine. Elaine looks\nsick, as she's\n\ncaught out.\n\nELAINE\n(in a rush) He never watched a door\nbefore, Mrs Payton, he didn't know\n\nhow to do it. (pleading) You know, he's a comedian, Mrs Payton,\nthey don't know\n\nhow to do anything.\n\nThe doorman walks silently away with the package and a quiet\nsmile of triumph.\n\nELAINE\n(desperate) Don't you see what's going\non here? He set us up. He's\n\nplaying all these mindgames.\n\nThe doorman stands behind his counter, smiling at Elaine's discomfiture.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJerry and a downcast George sit one side of a booth, with an\nanimated Elaine\n\nfacing them.\n\nJERRY\nYou're saying I'm responsible for the\ncouch?\n\nELAINE\n(worked up) There was nothing I could\ndo. He said he had a Federal\n\nExpress slip with your signature on it.\n\nJERRY\n(livid) Diabolical. He thought of everything.\nHe was setting me up from\n\nday one!\n\nELAINE\nIs it possible we were victims of a\nsting?\n\nJERRY\nI'm sure he's having a good laugh over\nthis with his doorman buddies.\n\nJerry stares off, as he imagines...\n\n(Jerry's Imagination)\n\nIn the lobby of Mr. Pitt's building, a bunch of doormen stand\naround the\n\nunpleasant doorman, laughing at his tale.\n\nDOORMAN 2\nSo, you didn't even (indistinct) watch\nthe couch?\n\nDOORMAN\nNo. I was just messing with his head.\n\nDOORMAN 2\nAnd they think they're better than us?\n\nThe doormen whoop it up again\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJerry has an expression of pure hatred for all doormen.\n\nELAINE\nAnyway, Jerry... Jerry?\n\nJerry snaps back to the here and now.\n\nELAINE\nWe have to replace the couch.\n\nJERRY\nNow we have to buy a new couch?!\n\nA thought occurs to George.\n\nGEORGE\n(crafty) Not necessarily. Why don't\nyou take back the couch you gave me?\n\nJERRY\nThe one with the Poppie stain?!\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, sure. (big smile) Then my father\nwill have no place to sleep.\n\n(snaps fingers) He's gotta move out.\n\nELAINE\nBut it's got a pee-stain on it.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, the cushion's turned over.\n\nELAINE\n(not sure) I guess.\n\nGEORGE\n(enthusiastic) Yeah. You get a couch.\nI get rid of my father. It\n\ncouldn't be more perfect!\n\n(Sid Farkus' Office)\n\nSid Farkus sits behind his desk, in front of which sit Kramer\nand Frank. Kramer\n\nis holding his invention as they pitch it to Farkus.\n\nKRAMER\nNow, it's called the bro.\n\nFRANK\nOr, the mansiere.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, but I prefer the bro.\n\nFRANK\nI like mansiere.\n\nKramer puts the bro on the desk.\n\nFARKUS\nWell, I have to tell you, it's a very\ninteresting idea.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nFARKUS\nYou know, selling bras exclusively to\nwomen, we're really only utilising\n\nfifty percent of the market.\n\nFRANK\n(to Kramer) That's what we figured,\nhuh?\n\nKRAMER\n(to Frank) I told you.\n\nFARKUS\nAnd, to be perfectly frank, I've always\nfelt I could use some support. I\n\nknow, when I'm wearing Banlon, there appears to be some jiggling.\n\nFRANK\n(vehement) I wouldn't be caught dead\nin Banlon.\n\nKramer shakes his head at the very thought of Banlon.\n\nFARKUS\n(indicating the bro) So uh, what d'you\nsee in the back? Hooks? Velcro?\n\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nUh.\n\nFRANK\nDefinitely velcro.\n\nFarkus gives a questioning look to Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nSay you're getting intimate with a woman\nuh, you don't want her fumbling\n\nand struggling back there.\n\nThe three of them chuckle at the thought.\n\nKRAMER\nI think we've all experienced that.\n\nThey share a manly laugh.\n\nFARKUS\nSummer nights.\n\nThe laughter continues for a moment.\n\nKRAMER\n(pointing at Farkus) Very funny.\n\nFARKUS\nWell, I still have to talk about this\nto Mr. Degrunmont...\n\nKRAMER\nOf course, yes.\n\nFARKUS\n...But, barring any unforeseen developments,\ngentlemen, I think we're\n\nsitting on a winner.\n\nFarkus offers his hand. Kramer shakes, and then takes his prototype\nand moves\n\ntoward the door. Frank then shakes Farkus' hand.\n\nFARKUS\n(sympathy) Frank, I wanna tell you how\nsorry I am to hear about you and\n\nEstelle separating.\n\nKramer hovers behind Frank, waiting to leave.\n\nFRANK\nOh, thank you, Sid, but that's all in\nthe past. I'm ready to move on.\n\nFARKUS\n(thoughtful) I've always been very fond\nof Estelle. Beautiful woman. I\n\nuh, I hope you don't think uh, this is out of line, but would\nit be okay with\n\nyou, if I were to ask her out?\n\nFRANK\n(anger) You wanna go out with my wife?!\n(rage) Where do you get the nerve\n\nto ask me something like that?!\n\nFARKUS\nOh, no, Frank, I was just saying...\n\nKramer tries to calm Frank down.\n\nFRANK\nI know what you're saying, and I know\nwhat you're thinking!!\n\nFARKUS\nNo, Frank...\n\nFRANK\nC'mon, Cosmo, I'm not doing business\nwith this guy.\n\nFrank storms out in a rage. Kramer gives Farkus an 'I'll calm\nhim down' look and\n\nfollows Frank out the door.\n\nKRAMER\nFrank!\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nFrank and Kramer have just arrived, to find George packing a\nsuitcase.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry took the couch back.\n\nFRANK\nHe took it back? Didn't you tell him\nI was using it?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I pleaded with him.\n\nFRANK\nWhere am I supposed to sleep?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I took the liberty of packing\nyour things. (gleeful) Mom's coming\n\nto get you.\n\nKRAMER\nI thought Jerry didn't want that couch,\nbecause of the stain?\n\nGeorge waves at Kramer to shut the hell up.\n\nFRANK\nWhat stain?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, you didn't notice? It has a pee-stain.\n\nGeorge bites his lip and shakes his head.\n\nFRANK\n(disbelief) You had me sleeping on a\npee-stained couch?\n\nGEORGE\n(light) No. No, no, no. The cushion\nwas turned over.\n\nFRANK\n(anger) But, the very idea. you had\nme lying in urine!!\n\nGeorge flashes Kramer an aggrieved look. There is a knock at\nthe door.\n\nGEORGE\nAh! There's mom, there's mom.\n\nGeorge races over and opens the door.\n\nESTELLE\nIs it safe to come in?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, of course. (motioning Estelle to\nenter) Of course.\n\nESTELLE\nYou're not having any of your transvestite\nparties?\n\nFRANK\nWill you stop it?\n\nESTELLE\n(to Kramer) I lived with him for forty\nyears, I never saw him trying on\n\nmy underwear. As soon as he leaves the house, he turns into J.\nEdgar Hoover!\n\nAs Estelle speaks, Frank goes into the bedroom and brings out\nthe record player.\n\nFRANK\nHere, Cosmo...\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey.\n\nFRANK\n...You can have the hi-fi. (hands it\nover) I don't need it now...\n\nKRAMER\nAwright, I got it.\n\nFRANK\n...I got one at home.\n\nGeorge is helping Frank on with his coat, a happy smile beaming\nfrom his face.\n\nESTELLE\nAlright, let's go.\n\nKramer opens the door.\n\nFRANK\nWe'll go out for dinner tonight.\n\nESTELLE\nI can't tonight, I'm busy.\n\nFRANK\nWhat d'you mean, busy?\n\nESTELLE\nI'm having dinner with someone.\n\nFRANK\nWith whom?\n\nGeorge drapes the coat across Frank's shoulders.\n\nESTELLE\nSid Farkus.\n\nFRANK\n(anger) Sid Farkus?! You're not having\ndinner with a bra salesman.\n\nGeorge has picked up Frank's three suitcases, and is all ready\nto help carry\n\nthem out to the car.\n\nESTELLE\nHey, he only sells them. He doesn't\nwear 'em.\n\nFRANK\nOkay, that's it! I'm not coming home!\n\nFrank sits down in a chair. George's face drops.\n\nGEORGE\n(upset) But you can't stay here. There's\nno place to sleep!\n\nFRANK\nWe'll work something out.\n\nGeorge drops the cases in disappointment.\n\n(Street)\n\nThe German sightseeing bus comes to a halt at the kerb. Kramer\ncomes around the\n\ncorner, carrying the record player in his arms. An elderly woman,\none of the\n\nwitnesses to the 'mugging' of George, recognises Kramer as he\npasses. She climbs\n\nout of the bus and points after Kramer.\n\nGERMAN WOMAN\nStop him! Ja, ja, ja, it's him!\n\nKramer looks back at the sound and sees the woman coming after\nhim. He turns\n\nback and continues walking. The other German tourists get off\nthe bus and join\n\nthe woman as she follows Kramer.\n\nGERMAN WOMAN\nStop that man! It's him.\n\nKramer looks worried and continues to carry his record player,\npushing past\n\nbystanders as the tourists close on him.\n\nGERMAN WOMAN\nSomebody, stop him! Please, quick. Stop,\nit's him. I know, I know.\n\nHelp. Stop him.\n\nKramer dives into a doorway, but the doors are locked, so he's\ntrapped by the\n\ntourists, who block his escape.\n\nHORST\nHey, hey. (pointing) That record player\nis not yours.\n\nKRAMER\nNow, look. Somebody gave it to me.\n\nHORST\nYou're a thief. We have proof.\n\nHorst spots the straps of the bro hanging from Kramer's pocket.\n\nHORST\nWhat is that?\n\nKramer puts down the record player and brings out the bro. He\nholds it up\n\nagainst his body, to illustrate his words.\n\nKRAMER\nThe first upper-body support undergarment,\nspecifically designed for\n\nmen.\n\nOne of the tourists nudges another, portlier, tourist on the\nshoulder at\n\nKramer's explanation.\n\nHORST\nHow does it connect in the back? With\na hook?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, no, no. (demonstrates) Here, velcro.\n\nThe portlier German reaches for Kramer's bro. The tourists are\nall looking much\n\nmore jovial.\n\nHORST\n(to the portly German) Ooh, (indistinct\nGerman) ...keine problem, ah?\n\nThe tourists laugh uproariously, with Kramer joining in, and\nthe portly German\n\nholding the bro up to himself.\n\nHORST\nIs gut, ja?\n\n(Lobby, Mr. Pitt's Building)\n\nJerry and Elaine have just dropped off the couch into the lobby.\nMrs. Payton\n\nregards it critically. The doorman stands in the background as\nthe delivery men\n\nleave.\n\nMRS. PAYTON\nWell, I suppose it'll have to do.\n\nELAINE\nIt's a beautiful couch.\n\nJERRY\nIt's hardly been used.\n\nElaine and Mrs. Payton walk away together. An elevator arrives,\nand a familiar\n\ncharacter steps out and is noticed by Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nPoppie!\n\nPOPPIE\nOh, hello, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWhat're you doing here?\n\nPOPPIE\nVisiting my friend.\n\nJERRY\nOhh. Hey, how you feeling?\n\nPOPPIE\nOh, much better, much better. The doctors\nsay I cannot have no\n\naggravation.\n\nJERRY\nHmm.\n\nPOPPIE\nSo, I sell the restaurant, uh? I just\ntake it easy. See, if I get\n\nexcited, 'ats aggravated my condition. The last time I got aggravated,\nwas in\n\nthe restaurant. With your friend.\n\nPoppie holds his hands out, indicating someone of Elaine's height.\nJerry nods,\n\nremembering and in sympathy.\n\nPOPPIE\nShe start the big fight, about abortion.\n\nElaine comes back over to Jerry and the couch. Poppie spots her\napproach, and is\n\nnot happy.\n\nPOPPIE\nIt's you! It's you!\n\nELAINE\nWha...?\n\nPOPPIE\nYou! I... I gotta sit down!\n\nPoppie, aggravated, moves toward the couch.\n\nJERRY\nNo, Poppie! No!!\n\nPoppie sinks onto the couch, despite the pleas, and horrified\nexpressions, of\n\nJerry and Elaine.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nGeorge sits up in bed reading a magazine. Frank enters, carrying\na small bowl.\n\nGeorge puts his magazine to one side, as Frank carefully climbs\ninto bed whilst\n\nkeeping hold of the bowl. George takes off his glasses, as Frank\nsettles back.\n\nPicking up a spoon from the bowl Frank is about to eat, when\na thought occurs.\n\nCarefully, Frank reaches over with the spoon, to offer George\na taste.\n\nFRANK\nKasha?\n\nGeorge looks disdainfully at the spoonful. A few morsels have\nfallen onto the\n\nbedclothes, George picks them up and puts them back into Frank's\nbowl.\n\nGEORGE\nNo. Thanks, dad.\n\nWearily, George puts his glasses on the bedside table, and switches\noff his bedside lamp, bringing darkness to the room. George shuffles\ndown beneath the bedclothes, to get comfortable, just as Frank switches\non his bedside lamp.\n\nExasperated, George lifts his pillow and places it over his own\nface, as Frank continues to eat his kasha.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Jimmy.html", "text": "THE JIMMY\n\nWritten by\n\nGregg Kavet & Andy Robin\n\n(The New York Health Club.

Maybe you keep\nyour house in a state of disrepair.\nMaybe you live in\n\nsqualler.(?)\n\nJERRY\nYou know Newman, the thing about fleas\nis that they irritate the skin and they\nstart to...itch.\n\nOh! maybe you can hold out five seconds or ten, maybe fifteen\nor twenty but after a while, no matter\n\nhow much will power a person may have.

So you believe,\nhas he not been so enthusiastic he could\nhave adverted\n\ndisaster.\n\nELAINE\nYes...Ye..Yes..That's right...You see\n,Billy Mumphrey was a simple country\nboy. Some might say a\n\ncockeyed optimist, who got caught up in the dirty game of world\ndiplomacy and International intrigue.\n\nMANDEL\nSo..

What, is it a problem?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I think he could've asked me.\nSupposed to be a friend of mine.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I guess he figured you just wouldn't\ncare. It *has* been a few years.\n\nJERRY\nElaine, you always care who an ex-girlfriend\ndates. You don't want it to be someone\nyou know, and you don't want it to be\nsomeone better than you. Now, even though\nthe latter is *obviously* impossible.\n\nELAINE\nOh, god.\n\nJERRY\nThe former still applies. I don't know\nwhat it is, but I just can't see you\nwith a mechanic.\n\nELAINE\nOh, yeah. Right, right. Well, all those\nmechanics do is work all day with their\nhands and their *big*, *muscular* arms\non machines, and then they come home\ndripping with animal sexuality like\nStanley Kowalski. What a huge turn-off\nthat is.\n\nJERRY\nAll right.\n\n(At Monk's, George and Estelle are looking over their menus)\n\nGEORGE\nLook at that. They got lobster on the\nmenu. Who would order a lobster here.\nI mean, do they bring a lobster in everyday\nhoping *todays* the day.\n\nESTELLE\nSo what if they have a lobster. Suddenly\nyou're a shell-fish connoisseur.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, I think we really need to\nbe in front of a television set. You\ntake T.V. out of this relationship,\nit is *just* torture.\n\nESTELLE\nSo, I'm getting an eye job.\n\nGEORGE\nAn eye job? Ma, you don't need an eye\njob.\n\nESTELLE\nGeorgie, I'm a divorcee.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, you're not a divorcee. You're just\nseparated.

There is no confusing *that*\nmove with any other move.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe it. He *stole* my move.\n\nELAINE\nWhat else did you tell (reaches over\nto slap Jerry) him. (does it\n\nagain) The two of you must have had *quite* a little chat!\n\nJERRY\nOh, it wasn't like that! I didn't even\nmention you. You know, we\n\nwere in the garage. You know how garages are. They're conducive\nto sex\n\ntalk. It's a high-testosterone area.\n\nELAINE\nBecause of all the pistons and the lube\njobs?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm going down to that garage\nand telling him to stop doing it.\n\nELAINE\nWell, wait---wait a second.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nIsn't that a little...rash?\n\nJERRY\nNo! He stole my move!\n\nELAINE\nYeah, but...*I* like the move.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, but it's like another comedian\nstealing my material.\n\nELAINE\nWell, he doesn't even do it exactly\nthe same. He--he--he uses a\n\npinch at the end instead of the *swirl*!\n\nJERRY\nOh, yeah. The pinch. *I've* done the\npinch. That's not new.\n\nBesides which, I don't know how you could trust any of his moves\nnow. His\n\nwhole *repertoire* could be lifted.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, it's strange, because he's\nsuch an honest mechanic.\n\nJERRY\nI know, he's probably the only honest\nmechanic in New York.\n\n(Later, Jerry and George are outside, where Jerry has just bought\na candy bar\n\nat the newsstand)\n\nJERRY\n...so he stole my move and he's using\nit on Elaine.\n\nGEORGE\nYou told David Putty your move and you\ndidn't tell *me*? I *need* a\n\nmove. You know I have no moves, Jerry. (points to the candy bar)\nGimme a\n\nbite.\n\nJERRY\nCan I just get it opened first?\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe you're hoarding sex\nmoves. I'm out there rubbing\n\ntwo sticks together. You walk around with a zippo.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, all right. Here. (hands George\na piece of the candy\n\nbar).\n\nGEORGE\n(takes a bite) Oh, that's good. That's\nvery good.\n\nJERRY\nYou feel better?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, much better. All right, so what's\nthe move, because I need\n\n*something*. This woman I'm dating, it's like she's doing her\nnails during\n\nlove-making.\n\nJERRY\nNancy Klopper?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Never seen anyone so bored. I'm\nworking like a dog here.\n\nGive me a moan. *Something*. I'd settle for a belch, for god's\nsake. All\n\nright, come on, let's have it.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, George. I'm gonna tell you.\nBut I just wanna make sure,\n\nbefore---\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah, yeah. It's in the vault.\nI'm putting it in the vault.\n\nJERRY\nIt's not even a question of that. The\npoint is when something like\n\nthis is passed along, one must be certain that it's going to\nbe used in a\n\n*conscientious* way. This is not some parlor trick to be used---\n\nGEORGE\nYou're gonna tell me...or not.\n\nJERRY\nAll right. On your bed. You got a headboard?\nYou'll need a\n\nheadboard.\n\nGEORGE\nI got a headboard.\n\nJERRY\nIs it padded?\n\nGEORGE\nNo.\n\nJERRY\nGood. How tall is she?\n\nGEORGE\nFive-foot four. Why?\n\nJERRY\nYou can't have more than a one-foot\ndifferential in your heights.\n\nOtherwise, you could really hurt your neck.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't tell ya how much I appreciate\nthis.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, if you could master this, you'll\nnever be alone again.\n\nJerry and George have just walked in,\nstill\n\nconversing on the same subject)\n\nJERRY\nNow, the ending is kind of an option.\nI use the swirl. I like the\n\nswirl. I'm comfortable with the swirl. *I* feel the swirl is\na great\n\ncapper. He uses the pinch, which I find a little presumptuous.\n\nGEORGE\nIs it a clockwise swirl?\n\nJERRY\nI prefer clockwise, but it's not written\nin stone.\n\n(Kramer enters, holding an object of some kind).\n\nKRAMER\nHere you go, buddy. (shows it to Jerry).\n\nJERRY\nWhat is it?\n\nKRAMER\n*Fusilli* Jerry! It's made from Fusilli\npasta. See the microphone?\n\nJERRY\nWhen did you do this?\n\nKRAMER\nIn my spare time. (turns to George).\nYou know, I'm working on one\n\nof you, George. I'm using ravioli. See, the hard part is to find\na pasta\n\nthat captures the individual.\n\nJERRY\nOh... Why Fusilli?\n\nKRAMER\nBecause *you're* silly. Get it? (hands\nthe Fusilli to Jerry)\n\nYeah...\n\nJERRY\nWell, thank you very much.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, did you get your new plates?\n\nKRAMER\nOh...yeah. I got my new plates. But\nthey mixed them up. Somebody\n\ngot mine and I got their *vanity* plates.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do they say?\n\nKRAMER\nAssman.\n\nJERRY\nAssman?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Assman, Jerry. I'm Cosmo Kramer,\nthe Assman!\n\nJERRY\nWho would order a license plate that\nsays \"Assman\"?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe they're Wilt Chamberlain's.\n\nJERRY\nIt doesn't have to be someone who gets\na lot of women. It could be\n\njust some guy with a big ass.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, or it could be a proctologist.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Proctologist.\n\nGEORGE\nCome on! No doctor would put that on\nhis car.\n\nKRAMER\nHave you ever *met* a proctologist?\nWell, they usually have a very\n\ngood sense of humor. You meet a proctologist at a party, don't\nwalk away.\n\n*Plant* yourself there, because you will hear the funniest stories\nyou've\n\never heard. See, no one wants to admit to them that they *stuck*\nsomething\n\nup there. Never! It's always an accident. Every proctologist\nstory ends in\n\nTHE SAME WAY\n\"It was a million to one shot, Doc.\nMillion to one.\"\n\n(A phone rings in the distant)\n\nKRAMER\nOh! There's my phone. (He leaves)\n\nGEORGE\nSo, where you gonna stick this (points\nto the Fusilli Jerry)\n\nJERRY\nI'll tell you where I'd like to stick\nit.\n\n(We cut to the garage where David Putty is working on a car.\nJerry walks in)\n\nJERRY\nHey, David.\n\nDAVID\nOh, hi, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHey, what's the story? I hear you're\ndoing my move.\n\nDAVID\nWhat move?\n\nJERRY\nWhat move? *My* move. The one I told\nyou about. You used it on\n\nElaine.\n\nDAVID\nYou're move? What, are you kidding?\nI was doing that before I knew\n\nyou. All you told me about was the ending.\n\nJERRY\nThe ending is the whole thing. Without\nthe ending, it's nothing.\n\nYou had *nothing*.\n\nDAVID\nOh, that ending was *so* obvious. I\nwould have figured it out\n\nanyway. I didn't need you to tell me that stupid twist.\n\nJERRY\nSwirl.\n\nDAVID\nWhatever. I don't even do it.\n\nJERRY\nOh, yeah, I know. You do the *pinch*.\n\nDAVID\nYeah, that's right.\n\nJERRY\nYou can't come up with your own stuff\n, so you *steal* other peoples?\n\nYou're nothing but a hack.\n\nDAVID\nAre you through, 'cuz, uh, I gotta get\nback to work.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'll tell you what I'll do, you\nknow. If you wanna do it out\n\nof town...okay. But not in the city.\n\nDAVID\nAll right, how about the next time your\ncar breaks down, you take\n\n*that* out of town.\n\nJERRY\nFine.\n\nDAVID\nGood!\n\n(While driving, Jerry hits a pothole and his car is now making\na clanking\n\nnoise)\n\n(We join George and Nancy, who are....getting busy under the\ncovers.)\n\nNANCY\nOw, George!

It feels like aliens poking\nat my body.\n\nGEORGE\nSorry. I'll just go back to my usual\nroutine.\n\n(Back to Elaine and David in the middle of, uh...you know...)\n\nELAINE\nOh, god! Oh, god, Dave! Oh, yes! Yes!\n\nDAVID\nNo, I'm sorry.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!!\n\nDAVID\nI can't do the move.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nDAVID\nOh, he's ruined it for me.\n\nELAINE\nOh, oh, come on, please?\n\nDAVID\nNo, he called me a hack. I'm just not\ninto doing it anymore.\n\nELAINE\nOh, so---so that's it?\n\nDAVID\nI'll come up with some new stuff.\n\n(Cut to Kramer heading towards his car. He picks up a note on\nhis windshield\n\nand reads it...)\n\nKRAMER\n\"Call me. Thirty-six, twenty-four, forty-six.\nI think I have what\n\nyou're looking for.\" (Pleased by the note, Kramer stumbles into\nhis car).\n\n(Meanwhile, Estelle is at Dr. Bakersoll's office)\n\nDR. BAKERSOLL\nI must caution you about one thing.\nYou can't cry for at\n\nleast ten day. You can ruin the operation.\n\nESTELLE\nOh, okay.\n\nDR. BAKERSOLL\nNow, is someone coming to pick you up?\n\nESTELLE\nYes, my son's friend should be here\nany minute.\n\n(In the parking lot just outside, Kramer has pulls into a \"Doctors\nOnly\"\n\nspace)\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nCan I help you?\n\nKRAMER\nAh, yeah. Doctor Cosmo Kramer. (points\nto plate) Proctology.\n\nSECURITY GUARD\nOh, oh, okay. Sure...\n\nKRAMER\nThanks. Have a good day.\n\n(Kramer is driving Estelle home)\n\nKRAMER\nI just can't get over how fantastic\nyou look.\n\nESTELLE\nOh, really?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yeah. This takes twenty years off.\n\nESTELLE\nAnd it was all done by laser. I don't\neven need bandages.\n\n(As a car passes Kramer, someone yells out, \"Yo, Assman! Look\nat the\n\nAssman!\" Kramer waves).\n\nESTELLE\nDid he say \"Assman\"?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yeah.\n\nESTELLE\nOh my goodness.\n\n\"Hey, the Assman's in town!\")\n\nKRAMER\nYou got that straight!\n\nESTELLE\nBoy. I never dreamed it could make such\na difference.\n\n(Kramer makes a sudden stop, and in a protective gesture, he\nsticks his arm\n\nout in front of Estelle.)\n\n(Back to Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nYou must have done *something* wrong.\nYou probably screwed up the\n\norder. Did you close with the swirl?\n\nGEORGE\nSupposed to close with the swirl?\n\nJERRY\nOh my god. Yes, you close with the swirl.\nThere's a progression\n\nthere. I told you to write it down.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah, should've written it down.\n\n(Bzzz. Jerry walks over to answer it)\n\nJERRY\nYeah?\n\nBUZZER\nElaine.\n\nJERRY\nC'mon up. (turns to George) You know\nwhat? Do me a favor. Don't\n\neven do the move anymore. You're gonna give it a bad name.\n\n(The phone rings)\n\nJERRY\nHello? Yeah, this is Jerry Seinfeld.\nWhat? Twenty-eight hundred\n\ndollars?!! That's the estimate on my car?!! No, don't even do\nanything.\n\nI'm gonna think about it. Okay, bye.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's to think about? If Putty says\nit's what it is, it's what it\n\nis. He's not gonna cheat you.\n\nJERRY\nExcept that it's not Putty.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat happened to Putty?\n\nJERRY\nEh, we had a little fight about the\nmove. I took her to this other\n\nplace. I think they might be trying to screw me.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, of course they're trying to screw\nyou. What do you think?\n\nThat's what they do. They can make up anything. Nobody knows.\n\"By the\n\nway, you need a new Johnson rod in there.\" \"Oh, a Johnson rod.\nYeah, well,\n\nyou better put one of those on.\"\n\n(Elaine comes in looking a bit peeved)\n\nJERRY\nHey, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, hello.\n\nJERRY\nIs it something I said?\n\nELAINE\nYes! As a matter of fact! David Putty\nwon't do the move anymore.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nELAINE\nOh, he's come up with some other move.\nYou should see this thing.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is it?\n\nELAINE\nOh, it's a lot of just fancy-shmancy\nstuff. You know what it's\n\nlike? It's like a big budget movie with a story that goes *nowhere*.\n\nJERRY\nHuh.\n\nELAINE\nI mean, this move is no good, Jerry.\nIt's just taking up a lot of\n\nmy time. And I...will not stand by and allow him to perform this\nmove on me,\n\nwhen a perfectly good move is just sitting in the barn doing\nnothing!\n\nGEORGE\nLet me ask you a question. This new\nmove. Is there a knuckle\n\ninvolved in any way?\n\nELAINE\nYes. As a matter of fact, there is.\n\nGEORGE\nI think that's mine.\n\nELAINE\nI'm not surprised.\n\nJERRY\nListen. I need you to do me a favor.\nWhen's the next time you're\n\ngonna see him?\n\nELAINE\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\nYou gotta get an estimate on my car\nfrom him. I think this garage is\n\ntrying to screw me.\n\nELAINE\nAn estimate? How am I supposed to do\nthat?\n\nJERRY\nWell, look. Here's the work order with\neverything that broke. Just\n\nkind of bring it up at the right time and find out. (hands Elaine\nthe work\n\norder)\n\nELAINE\n(takes the work order and points to\nthe Fusilli Jerry sitting on the\n\ntable) What? What is this?\n\nJERRY\nThat's, uh, Fusilli Jerry.\n\nELAINE\nFusilli Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Kramer made it.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, listen, I'll see you guys\nlater.\n\n(As George is leaving, Kramer comes in with a female companion)\n\nJERRY\nHey, Assman!\n\nKRAMER\nHey, well, this is Sally.\n\nSALLY\nHello.\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\nELAINE\nHi.\n\nKRAMER\nShall we go?\n\nSALLY\nOkay. (turns around and walks out with\nan exaggerated swing of her\n\nhips)\n\n(Elaine, Jerry, and George make a face)\n\n(Back at the Costanzas' house...)\n\nESTELLE\nYou can't face the fact that I'm improving\nmyself.\n\nFRANK\nYou're not the only one improving yourself.\nI worked out with a\n\ndumbbell yesterday. I feel *vigorous*.\n\nESTELLE\nJust take your mail and go home. I have\nthings to do.\n\nFRANK\nI got things to do, too.\n\nESTELLE\nDon't upset me! I can't cry!\n\nFRANK\nGetting an eye job like some Manhattanite,\nhuh?\n\nESTELLE\nWell, it's already working. Kramer made\na pass at me.\n\nFRANK\nKramer made a pass at you? You're crazy.\n\nESTELLE\nI'm not crazy. He stopped short and\nmade a grab.\n\nFRANK\nHe stopped short? That's my move. I'm\ngonna kill him!\n\n(Once again, we join Elaine and David...in bed as usual...doing\nwhat they do\n\nbest)\n\nELAINE\nHey, let me ask you a question.\n\nDAVID\nSure.\n\nELAINE\nWhat do you charge for blown shocks?\n\nDAVID\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nTwo, three hundred?\n\nDAVID\nI don't know. Maybe five hundred.\n\nELAINE\nAh.\n\n(They go back to kissing)\n\nELAINE\nWhat about a bad gasket?\n\nDAVID\nBad gasket?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Like a terrible gasket.\n\nDAVID\nWhat is all this?\n\nELAINE\nNothing, nothing. I'm just taking an\ninterest in what you...do.\n\nDAVID\nWhat kind of car is it?\n\nELAINE\nOh...any kind of---of a Swedish car.\n\nDAVID\nAll together, that could run about sixteen\nhundred.\n\nELAINE\nOh.\n\n(Kiss again)\n\nELAINE\nIs that with the parts and labor?\n\nDAVID\nUh-huh.\n\nELAINE\nHmm.\n\n(Kiss...again)\n\nELAINE\nOh, no. No, David. No, please. Not the\nknuckle....\n\n(Back to George and Nancy in bed. George is looking quite pleased\nwith\n\nhimself. Nancy, on the other hand, looks...bewildered...pleasantly\n\nsurprised...)\n\nNANCY\nWow. That was...*great*. I mean...*wow*.\n\nGEORGE\nIt just came to me.\n\nNANCY\nI---I've never in my life have---have\nI---. What was that?\n\nGEORGE\nYou mean in the end?\n\nNANCY\nUh-huh.\n\nGEORGE\nA counter-clockwise swirl.\n\n(Spotting something on George's hand)\n\nNANCY\nWhat's that?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nNANCY\nOn---on your hand? Let me see what's\non your hand.\n\nGEORGE\nNothing. I don't know...just a little\ndirt.\n\nNANCY\nGive me that. (grabs his hand) I wanna\nsee what's on your hand.\n\n(They struggle for a bit, but Nancy finally gets a hold of his\nhand and tries\n\nto make out the scribble)\n\nNANCY\nNumber one. Take her leg.... Oh, my\ngod! Crib notes? You've got\n\ncrib notes?!!\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a very complicated move! I couldn't\nremember it all.\n\nNANCY\nOh, my god, you're sick. (gets out of\nbed)\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, it's not the S.A.T.s!\n\n(Cut to Frank on the streets. He spots Kramer's car. He looks\ninside the\n\nback window and sees the \"Bro\"---or is it the \"Manssierre\"? He\nchecks out\n\nthe plates)\n\nFRANK\nAssman? I'll get him, Assman!\n\n(Back to Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nSixteen hundred dollars? That's all?\n*Ooh*, they are ripping me\n\noff.\n\nELAINE\nSo what are you going to do?\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's it. I'm going back to Putty.\nNo move is worth this.\n\nELAINE\nOh! You mean you don't care if he does\nthe move anymore?\n\nJERRY\nAre you kidding? He can do every move\nI've ever done! Do you know\n\nwhat a good mechanic is worth? You can't compare that to sex.\n\n(There's a knock at the door and Jerry goes over to answer it)\n\nJERRY\nHi, Mr. Constanza. What's uh...?\n\nFRANK\nWhere's your friend Kramer?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. Why?\n\nFRANK\nBecause I'm looking for him. That's\nwhy. He stopped short.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean?\n\nFRANK\nIn a car, with my wife. He stopped short.\nYou think I don't know\n\nwhat that's about? That's my old move! I used it on Estelle forty\nyears\n\nago! I told everybody about it! Everybody knows! (Demonstrates)\nHmmph! I\n\nstopped short.\n\nJERRY\nReally, stopping short. That's a good\nmove.\n\nFRANK\nYou're not kidding it's a good move!\n\n(Kramer walks in.)\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Frank.\n\nFRANK\nDon't Frank me! I know what you did.\nHow dare you stop short with\n\nmy wife!\n\nKRAMER\nC'mon, Frank, relax. I don't even know\nwhat you're talking about.\n\n(Frank backs Kramer into the table, knocking the Fusilli Jerry\nto the floor)\n\nFRANK\nYou think I don't know, Assman?!!

I think when you're\nat the monkey level of pet ownership,\nhave a kid. I mean, come on, you know,\nI mean, you're *so* close. If you need\na pet that can roller skate and smoke\ncigars, it's time to think about a family.\nMonkeys, of course, were the first astronauts\nin the sixties, which I'm sure made\nperfect sense in the monkey brain.

Do you\nrealize that toilet paper has not changed\nin my lifetime? It's just paper on a\ncardboard roll, that's it. And in ten\nthousand years, it will still be exactly\nthe same because really, what else can\nthey do?\n\nSIENA\nThat's true. There really has been no\ndevelopment in toilet paper.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd everything else has changed. But\ntoilet paper is exactly the same, and\nwill be so until we're dead.\n\nSIENA\nYeah, you're right George. What else\ncan they do?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's just paper on a roll, that's it.\nAnd that's all it will ever be.\n\nSIENA\nWow.\n\nGEORGE\nYou find this interesting, don't you?\n\nSIENA\nYes. yes, I do.\n\n(They stare at each other for a moment, then embrace.)\n\nJerry and Elaine are at the coffee shop.\n\nELAINE\nOh, thanks very much, the soup was really\ngood.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you telling him for?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nHe's the busboy, you think he cares\nabout the soup?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, why? Wouldn't he want the soup\nto be good?\n\nJERRY\nElaine, it's all this guy can do to\nkeep from killing himself. You think\nhe's back there, talking to the chef,\ngoing, \"Hey, they like the soup!Keep\nit up!\"?\n\nELAINE\nHey, isn't that Alec Berg?\n\nJERRY\nYep, Alec Berg. He's got a good 'John\nHouseman' name. Alec Beeerg.

It's changed, it's not\nreally the point. Anyway, I'm\n\nthinking of making a big move.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI might tell her that I love her. I\ncame this close last night, then I\n\njust chickened out.\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's a big move, Georgie boy.\nAre you confident in the 'I love\n\nyou' return?\n\nGEORGE\nFifty-fifty.\n\nJERRY\nCause if you don't get that return,\nthat's a pretty big matzoh ball\n\nhanging out there.\n\nGEORGE\nAw, I've just got to say it once, everybody\nelse gets to say it, why\n\ncan't I say it?\n\nELAINE\nWhat, you never said it?\n\nGEORGE\nOnce, to a dog.

He's\na big Devils' fan.\n\nJERRY\nSure, fine with me.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, by the way, if anybody wants an\ninside tour of the zoo, Siena\n\nworks there as a trainer.\n\nKRAMER\nSo she works at the zoo?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, like Diane Fosse. You know she's\nthe only person that's ever\n\nbeen accepted into gorilla society. And you know, once those\ngorillas accept\n\nyou, you got it made in the shade.\n\nElaine is at Puddy's apartment, waiting in the living room while\nhe gets ready.\n\nELAINE\nSo how long have you been a Devils'\nfan?\n\nPUDDY\nSince I was a kid, I'm from Jersey.\n\nELAINE\nYeah? Well, we're gonna kick your butts\ntonight.\n\nPUDDY\nHey, no way, man.\n\nELAINE\nYes.\n\nPUDDY\nWe're primed.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, you almost ready?

It's Jerry and\nKramer. Kramer\n\nenters first and does a typical 'Kramer take' when he sees Puddy's\npainted face.\n\nHe recovers quickly.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nPUDDY\nHey.\n\nELAINE\nDave, um, painted his face.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, that's cool. Well, you gotta support\nyour team.\n\nPUDDY\nOk, ready to go?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nPUDDY\nLET'S GET IT ON!!! Alright!! Go Devils!!\nGo\n\nDevils!!

Sit down!\n\nPUDDY\nOh yeah, because you're a Ranger fan\nand you know I'm messing with their\n\nheads.\n\nJust then the Devils score a goal and Puddy is back up, banging\nthe glass.\n\nPUDDY\nGo Devils!!\n\nGeorge and Siena are sitting in the car again. They're listening\nto the hockey\n\ngame on the radio.\n\nRADIO ANNOUNCER\nDevils goal! Stephan Richer scores from\njust inside the blue\n\nline! And the Devils take-- (George turns down the volume)\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, I could have actually gone\nto that.\n\nSIENA\nSo why didn't you?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I didn't want to break our date.\n\nSIENA\nOh, well.\n\nGEORGE\nBecause I... I love you.\n\nSIENA\nYou know, I'm hungry. Let's get something\nto eat.\n\nJerry, Elaine, Kramer and Puddy are walking on the street after\nthe game. The\n\nDevils must have won because Puddy is gloating.\n\nPUDDY\nHa ha! We took it to you! You couldn't\nget it out of your zone all\n\nnight. We were aggressive, we didn't let you penetrate!\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, that's enough out of you, there's\nstill three more games left\n\nin this series, my friend, and it's far from being over. Very\nfar from being\n\nover. (Notices a car coming right towards Puddy, who's crossing\nthe street)\n\nWatch out!\n\nThe car stops just short of hitting Puddy. There's an old priest\nin the\n\npassenger seat.\n\nPUDDY\nHey, what are you doing?! Watch where\nyou're\n\ndriving, man! (He approaches the passenger side window) Don't\nmess with the\n\nDevils, buddy. We're number one, we beat anybody! We're the Devils!\nThe\n\nDevils!! Haaaa!!!\n\nPuddy runs away, leaving the old priest shaken.\n\nFATHER HERNANDEZ\nEl Diablo! Dios mio! El Diablo!!\n\nJerry and George are at the coffee shop.\n\nJERRY\n\"I'm hungry. Let's get something to\neat.\"\n\nGEORGE\nYup.\n\nJERRY\nBig matzoh ball.\n\nGEORGE\nHuge matzoh ball.\n\nJERRY\nThose damn 'I love you' returns.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's all over. I slipped up.\n\nJERRY\nOh, you don't know.\n\nGEORGE\nYou have any idea how fast these things\ndeteriorate when there's an 'I\n\nlove you' out of the bag? You can't have a relationship where\none person says,\n\n\"I love you\", and the other says, \"I'm hungry. Let's get something\nto eat.\".\n\nJERRY\nUnless you're married.\n\nGEORGE\nI mean, now she thinks that I'm one\nof these guys that love her.\n\nNobody wants to be with somebody that loves them.\n\nJERRY\nNo, people hate that.\n\nGEORGE\nYou want to be with somebody that doesn't\nlike you.\n\nJERRY\nIdeally.\n\nGEORGE\nI am never saying 'I love you' again\nunless they say it first.\n\nWAITRESS\nMatzoh ball soup?\n\nGEORGE\nThat'd be me.\n\nJerry enters his apartment carrying a bag of groceries. As soon\nas Jerry closes\n\nthe door, we hear Kramer's door open and close. That moment,\nKramer walks in.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Jerry? You're a smart guy, right?\n\nJERRY\nNo question about it.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, you know I'm supposed to go\non this special tour today with\n\nGeorge's girlfriend.\n\nJERRY\nAt the zoo?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, but before I met up with her,\nI stopped to look at the monkeys,\n\nwhen all of a sudden I am hit in the face with a banana peel.\nI turn and look\n\nand there is this monkey really laughing it up. Then someone\ntells me that he\n\ndid it. Well, I pick up the banana peel and I wait for that monkey\nto turn\n\naround. And then I *whap* let him have it.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, you threw a banana peel at a\nmonkey?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, he started it!\n\nJERRY\nIt's a monkey, Kramer!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, he pushed my buttons, I couldn't\nhelp it, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I still think it's wrong.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, alright, fine. You take the\nmonkey's side, alright, go ahead.\n\nJERRY\nI'm not taking anyone's side.\n\nKRAMER\nCause I know what happened, Jerry. (remembering\nsomething\n\nand walking back in) Did you call Alec Berg and thank him for\nthe hockey\n\ntickets?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, Jerry, what are you waiting for?\n\nJERRY\nWhat do I gotta call him for? I thanked\nhim five times when he gave\n\nthem to me, how many time I gotta thank him?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, no no no, you gotta call him the\nnext day, it's common courtesy.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't believe in it. I'm taking\na stand against all this over\n\nthanking.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, good manners are the glue of\nsociety.\n\nJERRY\nHey, if I knew I had to give him eight\nmillion 'thank you's, I wouldn't\n\nhave taken the tickets in the first place.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, you know what this is gonna\ndo? He's gonna be upset because\n\nyou didn't call him and we're not gonna get those tickets for\nFriday night.\n\nJERRY\nAh, you're out of your mind.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, where you going?\n\nJERRY\nI gotta get a suit cleaned, I have a\nfuneral on Friday.\n\nKRAMER\nWho died?\n\nJERRY\nRemember the guy who pretended he had\ncancer so O would buy him the\n\ntoupee?\n\nKRAMER\nSo he actually had it?\n\nJERRY\nNo, car accident. He was trying to adjust\nhis toupee while he was\n\ndriving and he lost control of the car.\n\nRiverside Gramercy Chapel. Jerry and Elaine are at Gary Fogel's\nfuneral.\n\nELAINE\nThat poor priest. He was just visiting\nfrom El Salvador. Now he's\n\ngone completely loco.\n\nJERRY\nThe one Puddy screamed at in the car?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. He thinks he saw the devil. He\nwon't leave his room in the\n\nchurch basement.\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's what you get for getting\nmixed up with a face painter.\n\nELAINE\nI mean, what compels a seemingly normal\nhuman being to do something\n\nlike that?\n\nJERRY\nGotta support the team.\n\nSeveral women weep off camera. Elaine inspects her outfit.\n\nELAINE\nYou know I really hate my clothes.\n\nJERRY\nHm.\n\nELAINE\nI open up my closet, there's just nothing.\n\nJERRY\nHm.\n\nELAINE\nNothing. I hate everything I have, I\nreally hate it. (The weeping\n\nincreases in volume and intensity) I mean, at this point, it's\nlike I can wear\n\nsomething three or four times and that's it.\n\nJERRY\nHm.\n\nELAINE\nIt's getting to be a terrible problem\nfor me.\n\nJerry (noticing Alec Berg walk in, whispers) Hey, Alec!\n\nAlec barely acknowledges the greeting and takes a seat.\n\nJERRY\nDid you see that? What kind of a 'hello'\nwas that?\n\nKramer is in the office at the zoo.\n\nMR. PLESS\nAh, Mr. Kramer?\n\nKRAMER\nYes.\n\nMR. PLESS\nThanks for coming.\n\nKRAMER\nSo, uh, what did you want to see me\nabout?\n\nMR. PLESS\nWell, Mr. Kramer, to get right to it,\nwe're having a bit of a\n\nproblem with Barry.\n\nKRAMER\nBarry?\n\nMR. PLESS\nThe chimpanzee.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. Well, uh, what's the problem?\n\nMR. PLESS\nWell, he's not functioning the way he\nnormally does. He seems\n\ndepressed. He's lost his appetite. He's even curtailed his autoerotic\n\nactivities. And we think this is directly related to the altercation\nhe had\n\nwith you the other day.\n\nKRAMER\nSo, so what do you want me to do?\n\nMR. PLESS\nWell, frankly we'd like you to apologize.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well he started it.\n\nMR. PLESS\nMr. Kramer, he is an innocent primate.\n\nKRAMER\nSo am I. What about my feelings? Don't\nmy feelings count for\n\nanything? Oh, only the poor monkey's important. Everything has\nto be done for\n\nthe monkey! Look, I'm sorry. I--\n\nSIENA\nHey, that's ok. Well, I've gotta go\nfeed the marmosets.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know\n\nGeorge really likes you.\n\nMR. PLESS\nShe doesn't hear too well out of her\nleft ear.\n\nKRAMER\nOh.\n\nJerry and George are at Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, do you think it's possible that\nhe's mad at me because he didn't\n\nget the day-after 'thank you'?\n\nGEORGE\nWait a minute, you were at a funeral,\nright?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, people never give a good 'hello'\nat a funeral. I mean, they go\n\nlike this (George gives an extremely understated nod) That's\nthe biggest.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, yeah, that's kinda what he gave\nme.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, they can't go, \"Hey! You look fabulous!\"\n\nKramer enters.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nHey. Well, I just spoke to your girlfriend.\n\nGEORGE\nGirlfriend, yeah, right.\n\nKRAMER\nAnyway, she asked me to apologize to\nBarry.\n\nGEORGE\nBarry?\n\nKRAMER\nThe monkey.\n\nJERRY\nWell?\n\nKRAMER\nNothing doing. Jerry, I didn't do anything.\nIt's the monkey that\n\nshould be apologizing to me.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I don't think that's gonna happen.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm sorry. Well, George, I tried\nto put the good word in for you\n\nwith Siena, but I don't think she heard me. You know, left ear?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, her boss told me that she can't\nhear very well out of her left\n\near. What, you didn't know that?\n\nGEORGE\nOh my god.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nShe probably never heard it. Don't you\nsee what this means? It's like\n\nthe whole thing never happened. It's like when Superman reversed\nthe rotation\n\nof the earth to save Lois Lane!\n\nJERRY\nAre you gonna say it again?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's the question, Jimmy.\n\nJerry and George are still at Jerry's apartment, some time has\npassed.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm gonna do it.\n\nJERRY\nWhat? After what you just went through,\nI thought you said you'd never\n\nsay it again.\n\nGEORGE\nI'd like to say it once to someone that\ncan actually hear it!\n\nGeorge storms out of the apartment as Kramer enters.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat's going on?\n\nJERRY\nHe's gonna talk into her other ear.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. Well listen, I almost forgot to\nask you. What happened at the\n\nfuneral? Now, did you talk to Alec berg?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I saw him.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, so he's gonna give you the\nhockey tickets, huh?\n\nJERRY\nWell, not exactly.\n\nKRAMER\nHe's mad, isn't he? See, I knew it.\n\nJERRY\nI don't know if he's mad.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, so what happened when you saw\nhim?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I didn't really get a good 'hello',\nbut see, I was at a funeral.\n\nKRAMER\nUh huh.\n\nJERRY\nSee, so I don't know if I got a funeral\n'hello' or he was mad because he\n\ndidn't get his day-after 'thank you'.\n\nKRAMER\nSee, I told you, Jerry, I told you!\n\nJERRY\nLook, what do you want me to do?\n\nKRAMER\nI want you to get on this phone and\ngive him his 'thank you'!\n\nJERRY\nNo. No, I can't!\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, this is the way society functions.\nAren't you a part of\n\nsociety? Because if you don't want to be a part of society, Jerry,\nwhy don't\n\nyou just get in your car and move to the East Side!\n\nJERRY\nLook, we got five hours before the game.\nI am betting it was a funeral\n\n'hello'. He knows we're here, he knows the number, he knows we\nwant to go.\n\nThere's plenty of time for him to call and give us the tickets.\n\nKRAMER\nYou stubborn, stupid, silly man!\n\nElaine and Puddy are at Elaine's apartment.\n\nPUDDY\nHey, great dip. You made this?\n\nELAINE\nNo, it's from the store.\n\nPUDDY\nOh. Hey, how come people don't have\ndip for dinner? Why is it only a\n\nsnack, why can't it be a meal, you know? I don't understand stuff\nlike that.\n\nELAINE\nDavid? David, I think we aught to talk.\n\nPUDDY\nAlright, that's cool.\n\nELAINE\nDavid, I don't think we should see each\nother anymore.\n\nPUDDY\nYou gotta be kidding, how come?\n\nELAINE\nWell, you see, David, you're a face\npainter.\n\nPUDDY\nYeah, that's right.\n\nELAINE\nWell, it's not that I don't like you,\nbut, well to be perfectly honest,\n\nI'm just having some trouble getting past the face painting.\n\nPUDDY\nWell, alright, so you don't like the\nface painting, I just won't paint\n\nit anymore.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, but you like the face painting.\n\nPUDDY\nWell, I don't need to do it. It's not\nlike a habit or anything.\n\nELAINE\nOh. You mean you'd stop it for me?\n\nPUDDY\nYeah, that's right.\n\nELAINE\nThat's so, that's so sweet.\n\nPUDDY\nAh, c'mere. (They kiss) Alright, I gotta\ngo home and get changed before\n\nthe game. I'll be back, we'll make out.\n\nGeorge and Siena are making out in his car.\n\nGEORGE\nSiena, I love you.\n\nSIENA\nYeah, I know. I heard you the first\ntime.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Just confirming.\n\nJerry is sitting alone in his apartment waiting for Alec to call.\nThe phone\n\nrings, Jerry answers.\n\nJERRY\nHello? Oh, hi mom. No, listen, I was\nexpecting somebody else. I'm\n\nsorry, I can't talk now, I gotta keep the line clear, I'll call\nyou later. Yes,\n\nI know I have call waiting but I don't trust it in an emergency.\nGood bye.\n\nKramer is at the zoo, talking with Barry, the monkey.\n\nKRAMER\nAnyway, I um, I just want to say that\nI'm sorry. I lost my temper and\n\nI probably shouldn't have. I took it out on you and, look, if\nI've caused you\n\nany problems as a result of my behavior, well then, I'm sorry.\nI apologize.\n\nEven though, Barry, between me and you, we both know that you\nstarted it. I\n\nmean, who's kidding who? But they tell me that you're very upset,\nand god\n\nforbid I should disturb the very important monkey, I'm just hoping\nwe can put\n\nthis behind us, let's just move on with our lives, ok?

Why is it that the\ndoors on the stalls do not come all\nthe way down to the floor?\n\nSUSAN\nWell, maybe it's so you can see if there's\nsomeone in there.\n\nGEORGE\nIsn't that why we have locks on the\ndoors?\n\nSUSAN\nWell, as a backup system, in case the\nlock is broken, you can see if it's\ntaken.\n\nGEORGE\nA backup system? We're designing bathroom\ndoors with our legs exposed in anticipation\nof the locks not working? That's not\na system. That's a complete breakdown\nof the system.\n\nSUSAN\nCan we change the subject, please?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy? What's wrong with the subject?\nThis is a bad subject?\n\nSUSAN\nNo, fine. If you wanna keep talking\nabout it, we'll talk about it.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's not that I want to keep talking\nabout it? just think that the subject\nshould resolve itself based on its own\nmomentum.\n\nSUSAN\nWell, I didn't think that it had any\nmomentum.\n\nGEORGE\n(To himself) How am I gonna do this?\nI'm engaged to this woman? She doesn't\neven like me. Change the subject? Toilets\nwere the subject. We don't even share\nthe same interests.\n\n(Jerry's)\n\nJERRY\nYeah, he seems pretty happy.\n\nELAINE\nWell, that's all that counts, I guess.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's the matter?\n\nELAINE\nOh, nothin'.\n\nJERRY\nWell, you don't seem too enthused about\nthe whole thing.\n\nELAINE\nWell, what do you want me to do?\n\nJERRY\nWell, at least have some reaction to\nit.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I don't.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe you're a little jealous.\n\nELAINE\nOh, what? You think I wanna marry George:?\n\nJERRY\nNo! But maybe you wish it was you who\nwas getting married, not him.\n\nELAINE\nOh, please! That is the last thing that\nI want.\n\nJERRY\nOh, yeah.

Do you\nrealize this is gonna be on our permanent\nrecords? Are you aware of this?\n\nELAINE\nOh, dear.\n\nKRAMER\nIt can never be erased. It'll follow\nus wherever we go for the rest of our\nlives. I'll never be able to get a job.\nI mean, doesn't that concern you? Everything\nI've worked for...down the drain because\nof one stupid mistake. I mean, aren't\nwe entitled to make one mistake in our\nlives, Jerry:?\n\nJERRY\nWe're gonna change the system.\n\nKRAMER\nYes!\n\nELAINE\nWell, I could care less. I hope it is\non our record. I'm just sorry they didn't\nlock me up.\n\n(Outside Elaine's place)\n\nELAINE\nOh, hello, Rabbi: Krischma.\n\nRABBI\nElaine:!

Hides your feet. Yes. I\nlike it. I like it a lot.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's good, right?\n\nJERRY\nI think it's fantastic. I think it's\na fantastic idea.\n\nGEORGE\nYou do?\n\nJERRY\nYes, I do.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I told it to Susan: before, and\nshe didn't like it.\n\nJERRY\nHmm.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Not only that, this is what she\nsaid to me, \"Can we change the subject?\"\n\nJERRY\nSee, now that I don't care for.\n\nGEORGE\nRight. I mean, we're on a subject. Why\ndoes it have to be changed?\n\nJERRY\nIt should resolve of its own volition.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's exactly what I said, except I\nused the word \"momentum\".\n\nJERRY\nMomentum - same thing.\n\nGEORGE\nSame thing. My god, I'm getting married\nin December, do you know that?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I know.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I don't see how I'm gonna make\nDecember. I mean, I need a little more\ntime.

Don't you think we should\nhave a little more time just to get\nto know each other a little.\n\nJERRY\nIf you need more time, you should have\nmore time.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you think I could postpone it?\n\nJERRY\nSure you can. Why not?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's allowed? You're allowed to postpone\nit?\n\nJERRY\nI don't see why not.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, I could do that?\n\nJERRY\nSure, go ahead.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right! All right.

All\nthat crap.\n\nJERRY\nBeautiful.\n\nGEORGE\nShe's not gonna like it.\n\nJERRY\nNo, she's not.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, I think I'm a little bit scared\nof her. She's five-three, like a hundred\npounds. I'm frightened to death of her.\n\nJERRY\nWell, she's a woman. They don't like\nto be disappointed.\n\nGEORGE\nEspecially her. She does not like disappointment.\nWell, I have to do it. I can't make\nDecember. There's no way I can make\nDecember. Right? I mean, you can see\nthat, right? I mean, look at me. Look.\nLook.

Anyway,\num, this friend of mine, George, got\nengaged .\n\nRABBI\nHow wonderful.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, well, for some reason, um,\nI just find myself just overcome with\nfeelings of jealousy and resentment.\n\nRABBI\nDoesn't it give you any joy to see your\nfriend enter into this holiest of unions?\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, no it doesn't. No joy no joy\nwhatsoever. Just the whole think makes\nme . . sick.\n\nRABBI\nYou know, Elaine, very often we cannot\nsee the forest for the trees.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I don't know what that means.\n\nRABBI\nWell, for example, say there's a forest,\n...\n\nELAINE\nYou see the thing is we It should have\nbeen me. You know, I'm smart. I'm attractive.\n\nRABBI\nYou know my temple has many single functions.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, it's okay.\n\nRABBI\nMy nephew Alex is someone who is also\nlooking perhaps ...\n\nELAINE\nI don't think so.\n\nRABBI\nHe owns a flower store. Very successful.\n\n(Outside Coffee shop)\n\nJERRY\nSo you're nothing but a stoolie. Admit\nit.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, don't do the crime if you can't\ndo the time.\n\nJERRY\nAnother Caf\u00e9 Latte?\n\nKRAMER\nYou better believe it.\n\nKRAMER\nSince when are you so trendy?\n\nJERRY\nHey, baby. I set the trends. Who do\nyou think started this whole Caf\u00e9 Latte?\n\nJERRY\nI don't recall you drinking Caf\u00e9 Latte.\n\nKRAMER\nI've been drinking Caf\u00e9 Latte since\nthe fifth grade and I haven't looked\nback.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Planet 9 From Outer Space is playing\ntomorrow night.

I\nlive and breath.\n\nGEORGE\nI got to tell you I felt terrible. I\nreally thought she was going to collapse\nand kill herself.\n\nJERRY\ntes, it's very difficult. Few men have\nthe constitution for it. That's why\nbreakups take two or three tries. You\ngotta build up your immunity.\n\nGEORGE\nYou see those tears streaming down you\ndon't know what to do. It was like she\nwas on fire and I was trying to put\nher out.\n\nJERRY\nWell, at least you probably had some,\nuh, pretty good make-up sex after.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't have any sex.\n\nJERRY\nYou didn't have make-up sex? How could\nyou not have make-up sex? I mean that's\nthe best feature of the heavy relationship.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't have make-up sex.\n\nJERRY\nIn your situation the only sex you're\ngoing to have better than make-up sex\nis if you're dent to prison and you\nhave a conjugal visit.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, conjugal visit sex. That is happening!\n\nWOMAN\n(crying)\n\nMAN\nI can tell you're very upset but I'm\nsorry I'm not goin'\n\nGEORGE\nDid you here that?

I recall\nthe word loser peppered throughout her\nconversation.\n\nJERRY\nHum, well it all comes as news to me.\n\n(George's apartment)\n\nG\n(enters) Hi.\n\nSUSAN\nHi, how was your day?\n\nGEORGE\nGood, good day.

You and I together,\n(cry)\n\nSUSAN\nGeorge, of course, of course it can\nwait until march if that is what you\nwant.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah?\n\nSUSAN\nOh, don't worry your head. Of course.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right. (smiles behind her back)\n\n(Elaine's)\n\nELAINE\nI've got that magazine article for you.\n\nJERRY\nYou iknow I talked to the rabbi outside.\n\nELAINE\nAre you\n\nJERRY\nUnderstand you had a little talk with\nhim too.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, talked earlier.\n\nJERRY\nYes I know, I know.\n\nELAINE\n... What does that mean?\n\nJERRY\nNothing, nothing.\n\nELAINE\nHe didn't mention ...\n\nJERRY\nYes he did.\n\nELAINE\nHe told you about our conversation?\n\nJERRY\nWe had quite a little chat.\n\nELAINE\nHe told you about ...\n\nJERRY\nYes, about how you're very jealous of\nGeorge. How you wished it was you who\nwere getting married instead of him.\n\nELAINE\nHe told you all that? How could he?\n\nJERRY\nIt didn't take much prodding either,\nI must say.\n\nELAINE\nCan he do that?\n\nJERRY\nHe did it.\n\nELAINE\nBut he's a Rabbi! How can a Rabbi have\nsuch a big mouth?\n\nJERRY\nThat's what's so fascinating.\n\n(Movie line)\n\nJERRY\nYou better finish your little caf\u00e9 latte\nthere. They won't let you in with it.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy not?\n\nJERRY\nBecause they don't allow outside drinks\ninto the movie.\n\nKRAMER\nWell that's stupid\n\nJERRY\nThat's the rule.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, we'll just see if we can't get\naround that.\n\n(Kramer puts coffee cup into his pants)\n\n(Rabbi's apartment)\n\nRABBI\nOh, Elaine. Come in. Come in. So nice\nto see you again.\n\nE\nYeah...\n\nRABBI\nCan I offere you some Kasha Varnishkas?\n\nELAINE\nNo, no. Listen, Rabbi, I'd like to ask\nyou a question. Why, why did you tell\nmy friend Jerry what I talked to you\nabout?\n\nRABBI\nWas that a problem for you?\n\nELAINE\nOf course it was a problem for me. .\n. . You didn't, you didn't tell anyone\nelse about this, did you?\n\nRABBI\nWell, let's see? I seem to recall a\nconversation with Mrs. Winston in 1F.\n\nELAINE\nMrs. Winston?\n\nRABBI\nYes, we were waiting for our mail to\narrive and I happened to mention to\nher how you felt that it was never going\n\"to happen\" for you.\n\nELAINE\nWhat about Don Ramsey? You didn't mention\nanything to him did you?\n\nRABBI\nDon Ramsey?\n\nELAINE\nYou know that tall really good looking\nguy, he lives on the fifth floor.\n\nRABBI\nOh him! Well this morning I found myself\nin the elevator with him...\n\nELAINE\nmy god, you didn't.\n\n(Movie theatre)\n\nJERRY\nExcuse me, pardon me, excuse me\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yow, oow Ah!\n\nUSHER\nHey, hey, what's going on? What just\nhappened here?\n\nKRAMER\nNothing Nothing.\n\nUSHER\nWhatya got? One of those Caf\u00e9 Latte's\nin your shirt?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't have anything. Ask him.\n\n(Jerry makes a silent drink gesture)\n\nUSHER\nAll right, come on Coffee Boy, bring\nit out.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?!\n\nUSHER\nHere you go.\n\nKRAMER\nOw\n\n(Kramer leaves)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nEx; But the whole thing is a mess. He told everyone in the building.\nI met that cute guy on the fifth floor. I mean he could barely\nbring himself to nod.\n\nJERRY\nElaine, if I could say a word here about\nJewish people. That man in no way represents\nour ability to take in a nice piece\nof juicy gossip and keep it to ourselves.\n\nELAINE\nYou didn't say this to George, did you?\n\nJERRY\nNo, ... about how you wish it was\nYOU who was getting married instead\nof him? Feelings of resentment, hostility?\n\nELAINE\nYeah that! So, ...\n\n(George enters)\n\nGEORGE\nHey oh.\n\nELAINE\nGEORGIE! CONGRATULATIONS! Oh, my god.\nI haven't seen you since it happened.\nI'm so happy for you.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, thanks a lot.\n\nELAINE\nOh, come on. You really, really deserve\nit.\n\n(Gives George a kiss)\n\nGEORGE\nOh, deserve! I don't know if I deserve...I\nmean...\n\nELAINE\nAre you kidding? I have seen the changes\nin you the past couple of years. Man,\nyou have grown. You've matured.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I guess I'm getting older.\n\nELAINE\nOh! Well, I just think it's wonderful.\nHonestly! I've gotta run, but um, please,\nplease give my best to Susan.\n\nGeorge Yeah.\n\nElaine My most, just heartfelt congratulations.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Thanks. Hey, listen, if you ever\nget a date, maybe the four of us could\ngo out together sometime.\n\nELAINE\nYes! Yes, yes. Sure.\n\nGEORGE\nWait, as a matter of fact, wasn't there\nsome guy in your building that you said\nyou liked? He lived up on the fifth\nfloor or something.\n\nELAINE\nYes. Yes, yes. Yes.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah! Boy, she is something, isn't she?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, she's something else. Hey, so\nwhat happened? Did you hold your ground\nor...uh...\n\nGEORGE\nNope. I wept like a baby.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I started to tell her and then\nall of the sudden, for some reason,\nI just burst into tears.\n\nJERRY\nYou cried?\n\nGEORGE\nI bawled uncontrollably. I just poured\nmy guts out. And I'll tell you, Jerry,\nit was incredible. I never realized\nhow powerful these tears are. I could\nhave postponed it another five years\nif I wanted to.\n\nJERRY\nSorry about that movie-thing. I was\njoking around.\n\nKRAMER\nSorry? Are you kidding? You did me the\nbiggest favor of my life. I spoke to\na lawyer, we're suing for millions.\n\nJERRY\nSuing? What for?\n\nKRAMER\nThe coffee was too hot.\n\nJERRY\nIt's supposed to be hot.\n\nKRAMER\nNot THAT hot.\n\n(At George's home. He and Susan are in bed watching TV)\n\nRABBI\n(On TV) The prophet Isaah tells us without\nfriends our lives are empty and meaningless.\n\nGEORGE\nWait. Whoa! That's the Rabbi: from Elaine's\nbuilding. I just met this guy the other\nday.\n\nRABBI\nA young lady I know, let's call her\nElaine, happened to find herself overwhelmed\nwith feelings of resentment and hostility\nfor her friend, let's call him George:.\nShe felt that George was somewhat of\na loser and that she was the one who\ndeserved to be married first. She also\nhappened to mention to me that her friend\nhad wondered if going to a prostitute\nwhile you're engaged is considered cheating.\nHis feeling was they're never going\nto see each other again so what's the\ndifference. But that is a subject for\nanother sermon. Now, I'd like to close\nwith a psalm.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Maestro.html", "text": "THE MAESTRO\n\nWritten by\n\nLarry David\n\n(Booth at Monk's Cafe)\n\nGEORGE\nAnd then I hear this rabbi on television,\nI mean imagine.\n\nELAINE\nI'm really sorry George, I, I, I wasn't\njealous of you.

I was trying to get to my\nseat and I had to step over someone\nand\n\nI kind of got pushed and it spilled on me.\n\nJACKIE\nWas there a top on it?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJACKIE\nNow did you put the top on or did they\nput the top on for you?\n\nKRAMER\nNo. They put the top on.\n\nJACKIE\nAnd they made the top. You didn't make\nthe top did you?\n\n(Kramer motions that he did not make the top)\n\nJACKIE\n(To secretary over intercom) Suzie.\nI want you to go down to Java World.\n\nGet me a cafe latte with a top. (To Kramer) We're gonna run some\ntest on that top.\n\nHave you been to the doctor?\n\nKRAMER\nAh No no, I haven't.\n\nJACKIE\n(To secretary over intercom) Suzie.\nCall Dr. Bison. Set up an appointment\n\nfor Mr. Kramer here. Tell him it's from me.\n\nKRAMER\nSo ah, what do you think Mr. Chiles.\n\nJACKIE\nJackie.\n\nKRAMER\nJackie. I mean, we have a chance?\n\nJACKIE\nDo we have a chance? You get me one\ncoffee drinker on that jury, you\n\ngonna walk outta there a rich man.\n\n(Ross' clothing store)\n\n(Susan is holding a bright red shirt up to George)\n\nGEORGE\nI don't like it, it's red. It it's too\nflashy.\n\nSUSAN\nWell you could use a little flash.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right. Don't change me. Susan. Don't\nchange me. Ya know there are a lot\n\nof woman that would love to be in your position right now.\n\nSUSAN\nName one.\n\nMR ROSS\nSo, you find anything?\n\nSUSAN\nOh, he's impossible to shop for uncle\nNed.\n\nMR ROSS\nI'm going on vacation to Costa Rica.\nMaybe I'll see you in a couple of\n\nweeks.\n\nSUSAN\nO.K.\n\nSALESMAN\nExcuse me Mr Ross.\n\n(George notices the security guard standing near the front door)\n\nGEORGE\nSee now this I don't get.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nThe security guard.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat about him?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy does he have to stand?\n\nSUSAN\nBecause he's a security guard.\n\nGEORGE\nBut I mean look at him. He's gotta be\non his feet like that all day?\n\nThat's brutal. I think I'm gonna say something to your uncle.\n\nSUSAN\nGeorge, you just met him. Don't say\nanything to him.\n\nGEORGE\nAren't you concerned about the security\nguard?\n\nSUSAN\nNot really. (Walks away)\n\nGEORGE\n(Thinking to himself) She's not concerned\nabout the security guard. What\n\nkind of a person is this? I'm marrying a person who doesn't care\nthat this man\n\nhas to stand here 8 hours a day when he could easily be sitting.\n\nSUSAN\nAll right George. (She puts the red\nshirt up to him again) What do you\n\nthink?\n\n(Elaine and Jerry are in Jerry's apartment.)\n\nJERRY\nSo ah, what did you do last night?\n\nELAINE\nNothing.\n\nJERRY\nI know nothing, but what did you actually\ndo?\n\nELAINE\nLiterally nothing. I sat in a chair\nand I stared.\n\nJERRY\nWow. That really is nothing.\n\nELAINE\nI told ya.\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you all dressed up for?\n\nKRAMER\nOh I ah just came from a meeting with\nmy lawyer.\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah, how's that looking?\n\nKRAMER\nOh I'll tell you how it's looking. My\nlawyer Jackie says if there is one\n\ncoffee drinker on that jury, (in a very high voice) I'm gonna\nbe a rich man.\n\nELAINE\nThat's despicable. How does he know\nhow all coffee drinkers will vote?\n\nI'm a coffee drinker. If I was on that jury I wouldn't give you\na nickel Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well you wouldn't be on that jury.\nHe would have weeded you out.\n\nJERRY\nFrankly I'm surprised you're so litigious.\n\nKRAMER\nOh I can be quite litigious.\n\nELAINE\nWhat I mean who ever heard of this anyway?\nSuing a company because there\n\ncoffee is too hot? Coffee is supposed to be hot.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah but Jackie says the top was faulty.\n\nELAINE\n(Mocking) Jackie says the top was faulty.\n\n(Sounds of knocking in the background on Kramer's door)\n\nKRAMER\nHey Maestro!\n\nMAESTRO\nAh, Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm in here. How's it going.\n\nMAESTRO\nFine.\n\nJERRY\nHi Bob.\n\n(Kramer coughs purposely and motions toward maestro with his\nhead)\n\nJERRY\n(Apologetically) Oh, I'm sorry. Maestro.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, this is a surprise ha?\n\nMAESTRO\nI just wanted to drop off this Chinese\nbalm for your burns. It's supposed\n\nto be great stuff. It's all herbal.\n\nKRAMER\nOh Maestro, you, what are you doing?\nYou don't have to do this. Do you\n\nbelieve this Maestro?\n\nMAESTRO\nIt's nothing.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, ya know you haven't been around\nfor a while.\n\nMAESTRO\nOh yeah, I've been at my house in Tuscany.\n\nKRAMER\nOh Tuscany huh? Hear that Jerry? That's\nin Italy.\n\nJERRY\nI hear it's ah beautiful there.\n\nMAESTRO\nWell if you're thinking of getting a\nplace there don't bother. There's\n\nreally nothing available.\n\nJERRY\n(Surprised) Huh?\n\n(Elaine enters from bathroom)\n\nMAESTRO\n(Seeing Elaine) Oh!\n\nELAINE\nHello.\n\nMAESTRO\nWell Hello. And who might you be?\n\nELAINE\nI might be Elaine.\n\nJERRY\nThis is a, Bob Cobb.\n\nKRAMER\nMaestro.\n\nELAINE\nOh, Maestro.\n\nMAESTRO\nIt is my very great pleasure. (Kisses\nElaine's hand)\n\nELAINE\nEnchante.\n\nMAESTRO AND ELAINE\nWell I have to be going.\n\nELAINE\nJinx buy me a coke.\n\nMAESTRO\nOh. Love it when that happeneds.\n\nELAINE\nI know I know. That is so ahh ......\n\nMAESTRO\nCoincidental.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, thanks. O.K. Bye you guys.\n\nMAESTRO\nCiao.\n\n(Elaine and Maestro leave)\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah oh hey and a thanks for the\nbalm. Yeah.\n\n(Kramer shuts the door and stares at Jerry)\n\nKRAMER\nYou know you hurt the Maestro's feelings.\n\nJERRY\nOh what, because I didn't call him Maestro?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's right.\n\nJERRY\nYa know I feel a little funny calling\nsomebody Maestro.\n\nKRAMER\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\nBecause it's a stupid thing to be called.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry he's a conductor.\n\nJERRY\nOh conductor. He conducts the Policeman's\nBenevolent Association Orchestra.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, he's still a conductor.\n\nJERRY\nWell he sure worked pretty fast with\nElaine.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, you should see him do 'Flight of\nthe Bumble Bee'.\n\n(Kramer makes like a conductor and makes a classic Kramer sound)\n\n(Monks Cafe. George and Jerry are sitting across from each other)\n\nJERRY\nNew shirt?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. You like it.\n\nJERRY\nNo, not particularly.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy, the color?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nToo flashy?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it's burning my retina. Susan\npicked that out for you right?\n\nGEORGE\n(Obviously lying) No.\n\nJERRY\n(Reaches for a menu) All right what's\nit going to be here.\n\nGEORGE\nLet me ask you something. When you go\ninto a store, does it bother you\n\nthat they make the security guard just stand there all day?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nSee, didn't bother Susan either. That's\nwhy I'm different. I can sense\n\nthe slightest human suffering.\n\nJERRY\nAre you sensing anything right now?\n\nGEORGE\nLet me just say this. It is inhumane\nto make a man stand on his feet, in\n\none spot for eight hours a day. Why shouldn't he have a chair?\n\nJERRY\nWell, what about criminal activity?\nHe's got to be alert.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, he can't jump out of the chair?\nHow long does that take?\n\nHere look at this. (he moves to the end of the booth) Here, watch.\n(stands up)\n\nCriminals. Boom. I'm up. (pretends he's shooting) Stop It! Stop\nIt! Stop It!\n\nJERRY\nMaybe they offered him a chair and he\nturned it down.\n\nGEORGE\nWould you get out of here. Who's gonna\nturn down a chair? I would be\n\nvery interested to know how he felt about all of this. Maybe\nI'll have a talk\n\nwith him.\n\nJERRY\nI know you will.\n\n(Kramer enters and sits next to Jerry)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, hey, hey, listen to this. Jackie\njust called.\n\nGEORGE\nWho?\n\nJERRY\nHis lawyer.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, Java World wants to settle.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'm gonna be rich.\n\nJERRY\nWhy are they settling?\n\nKRAMER\nCause their afraid of bad publicity.\n\nJERRY\nAll this because you spilled coffee\non yourself?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah that's right.\n\nGEORGE\n(Very loud in the direction of a waiter)\nI'm gonna need a coffee here. Very hot!\nBoiling!\n\n(Restaurant. Maestro and Elaine are talking)\n\nMAESTRO\nAnd then about four years ago I was\non holiday in Tuscany.\n\nELAINE\nUh ha.\n\nMAESTRO\nAnd I fell in love with this house.\n\n(Waiter approaches)\n\nWAITER\nAre you ready to order?\n\nELAINE\nOh God. What are you getting Bob?\n\n(Maestro looks at Elaine with an annoyed look on his face)\n\nMAESTRO\nGood question. (to waiter) We'll need\na few minutes.\n\n(Maestro puts his head in his hand. He is visibly upset)\n\nMAESTRO\nYou know, I'm sorry but, I didn't mention\nit earlier but actually I\n\npreferred to be called Maestro.\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me?\n\nMAESTRO\nWell, ya know I am a conductor.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, so?\n\nMAESTRO\nOh I suppose it's O.K. for Leonard Burnstein\nto be called Maestro because\n\nhe conducted the New York Philharmonic. So he gets to be called\nMaestro and I don't.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I mean don't you think that he\nwas probably called Maestro while he\n\nwas conducting, not in social situations. I mean his friends\nprobably just called\n\nhim Lenny.\n\nMAESTRO\nI happen to know for a fact, that he\nwas called Maestro in social\n\nsituations. I once saw him at a bar and someone came up to him\nand said\n\n\"Hello Maestro, how about a beer\". O.K. So that's a fact.\n\nELAINE\nMaestro huh? O.K. (laughing)\n\n(Jerry's apartment. Jerry is at the refrigerator getting orange\njuice.)\n\n(Kramer enters frantically)\n\nKRAMER\nJerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry my burn is\ngone look.(shows Jerry the burn area).\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean?\n\nKRAMER\nWell I put that Chinese balm on that\nthe Maestro gave me. And look, it\n\nhealed it.\n\nJERRY\nSo?\n\nKRAMER\nSo? My lawsuit. I'm finished.\n\nJERRY\nI thought they wanted to settle.\n\nKRAMER\nWell what happens if they want to see\nit?\n\nJERRY\nThen you're in a lot of trouble.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah!!\n\n(Ross' clothing store. Guard is standing near entrance. George\nenters.)\n\nGEORGE\n(To guard) Tired?\n\nGUARD\nNo.\n\nGEORGE\nHow come uh, no chair?\n\nGUARD\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI, I couldn't help but notice that uh\nyou don't have a chair.\n\nGUARD\nI don't need a chair.\n\nGEORGE\nNo I didn't mean to imply that you did.\nYou're obviously a very well\n\nproportioned individual. I was just wondering, have they ever\noffered you a chair?\n\nGUARD\nNope.\n\nGEORGE\nWould you like a chair?\n\nGUARD\nI suppose if they gave me one I'd sit\ndown.\n\nGEORGE\nAh ha, Ah ha. You would, wouldn't you?\n\nGUARD\nObviously I'd rather sit than stand,\nif that's what your asking.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's exactly my point.\n\nGUARD\nWell who wouldn't?\n\nGEORGE\nCause I tell you, frankly, I would like\nto walk in hear one day and find\n\nyou sitting down. (Starts to walk out of the store) That would\ngive me a lot of\n\npleasure. Call me crazy.\n\n(Back seat of a cab. Jackie and Kramer)\n\nJACKIE\nYou put the balm on? Who told you to\nput the balm on? I didn't tell you\n\nto put the balm on. Why'd you put the balm on? You haven't even\nbeen to see the\n\ndoctor. If your gonna put a balm on, let a doctor put a balm\non.\n\nKRAMER\nI guess I screwed up huh Jackie?\n\nJACKIE\nYour damn right you screwed up. Where\nthe hell did you get that damm balm\n\nanyway?\n\nKRAMER\nThe Maestro.\n\nJACKIE\nThe who? What are you talking about\nMaestro?\n\nKRAMER\nMy friend he's a conductor.\n\nJACKIE\nOh oh oh, so a Maestro tells you to\nput a balm on and you do it?\n\nKRAMER\nWell my stomach was burning.\n\nJACKIE\nI tell you what this is. This is a public\nhumiliation.\n\nKRAMER\nWell I didn't know the balm was gonna\nwork.\n\nJACKIE\nDo you know what a balm is? Have you\never seen a balm? Didn't you read\n\nthe instructions?\n\nKRAMER\nWell I ...\n\nJACKIE\n(interrupts) No one can tell what a\nbalm's gonna do. They're unpredictable.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm sorry Jackie.\n\nJACKIE\n(To cab driver) Pull over here driver\nthis is it.\n\nKRAMER\n(Motions with his head) Yeah, get over.\n\n(Elaine and Jerry walking on the sidewalk in NYC)\n\nJERRY\nDid you have a good time?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, he's very interesting. Did you\nknow that Mozart died while he was\n\nwriting 'The Requiem'.\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastically) Yeah, everyone knows\nthat, it was in Amadeus.\n\nELAINE\nReally?\n\nJERRY\nSo what about the \"Maestro\" stuff. Did\nhe make you call him Maestro.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I called him Maestro.\n\nJERRY\nYou didn't mind?\n\nELAINE\nWell, I did at first, but actually I\nkind of got used to it.\n\nJERRY\nO.K. from now on I want you to call\nme \"Jerry the Great\".\n\nELAINE\nI am not calling you \"Jerry the Great\".\n\nJERRY\nWhy not you call him Maestro.\n\nELAINE\nHe is a Maestro.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm great.\n\nELAINE\nSo you say.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about his house in Tuscany, he\nmention that?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. (bragging) I'm invited.\n\nJERRY\nYou know when I told him it was beautiful\nthere, out of the clear blue sky\n\nhe says there's nothing to rent. As if he doesn't want anyone\nelse there.\n\nELAINE\nWhy?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. Maybe he's embarrassed\nby Americans.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, well maybe there aren't any houses\nto rent there.\n\nJERRY\nIn all of Tuscany? I wonder.\n\n(Office of a Java World building)\n\nMR STAR\nI say we offer him $50,000 that's it,\ntake it or leave it.\n\nMR BURNS\nHow do we know how severe the burns\nare?

It's really just a question of\nwhat kind. Thinking about a bar stool.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that would give him some height,\nbe able to check things out. With a\n\nback or without.\n\nGEORGE\nOh I think I'd go for the back.\n\nJERRY\nSwivel?\n\nGEORGE\nI suppose he could swivel. Hey maybe\none of those director's chairs.

I've been on this\nstreet a thousand times! It's never\nlooked so\n\nstrange! The faces...so cold! In the distance, a child is crying.\nFatherless...a bastard\n\nchild, perhaps. My back aches...my heart aches...but my feet\n(stops to look at her feet)\n\n...my feet are resilient! (a big smile grows in her face, as\nshe thinks...) Thank God I\n\ntook off my heels, and put on my... HIMALAYAN WALKING SHOES!!!\n(lifting her arms up in\n\nthe air, in ecstasy, as she says...) Yes!\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n02 AM.

I trusted you!\n\n(Kramer comes in wrapped up in a blanket)\n\nJERRY\nKramer, what happened to the building?!\nThe electricity went out!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, the heat pump blew all the fuses!\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened to your mental alarm?!\n\nKRAMER\nI guess I hit the snooze...

Get outta the way! Make way! Make\nway!\n\nMake way, it's a contender!

Come on!\n\n(George Steinbrenner's office at the Yankee Stadium)\n\n(George comes in)\n\nGEORGE\nYou wanted to see me, Mr.Steinbrenner?\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nYes, George, come in, come in. George,\nword up's you've been cracking under\nthe\n\npressure. Can't cope, can't stand the heat. Spit the bit.\n\nGEORGE\nOh no, Mr.Steinbrenner, I can explain...\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nOh we all get a little cuckoo sometimes\nGeorge, I used to be like you. Rating\n\npersonnel 'till they cried, calling managers on the field during\na game, threatening\n\nto move the team to New Jersey, just to upset people. Then I\nfound a way to relax.\n\n(New York marathon - Jerry, Elaine, Kramer)\n\n(They're waiting for the runners to run by. Kramer remains \"fully\"\ndressed and is carrying a\n\nthermos with tea).\n\nJERRY\nI'm tellin'you, I never told anyone\nabout that baby. I never even went near\nyour building!\n\nELAINE\nThen how did she find out, Jerry?!\n\nJERRY\nMaybe you should check with the rabbi.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Elaine) You want some hot tea?\n\nELAINE\nOh no, thank you.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. There's some runners. Here they\ncome!\n\n(The first runner to appear is Jean-Paul)\n\nELAINE\nThere's Jean-Paul! He's up front! He's\nleading!

We hear him breathing. We hear\nhis heart beating. Some people offer\n\nhim drinks. Jean-Paul grabs one, Kramer's hot tea, and leaves\nscene. Kramer gets very surprised.\n\nWe then hear Jean-Paul screaming in pain, and it's not hard to\nguess why. Kramer puts on a\n\n\"whatta hell\" look, Elaine puts on an \"ouch\" look and Jerry puts\non his \"it's a shame\" one.)\n\n(George and Mr.Steinbrenner inside a hot tub)\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nHow're you enjoying it, George? Melts\nthat tension away, doesn't it? You gotta\nget that jet on the good spot. Oh. Oh.\nUh. Uh. Yes, that feels good. Yes, that's\nreal good. Oh yeah, that's where I keep\nall my tension. Right down to that chicken\nbone. Sometimes I get my wife to just\nstuck her thumb right in there like\na screwdriver. Ya know, the Phillips\nhead, not the flat one. Oh God, those\nflat ones frustrate me. You got it in,\nbut it slips out. You put it in again,\nslips out again. You a single man, George?\n\nGEORGE\n(bored to death) Well, I-I just recently\nuh...\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nI'll tell you, if you wanna get something\nwild goin'on in your life, you get a\ngirl and bring her to one o'these things.\nJust like 4 shots a wild turkey. (laughs)\nShe'll think you're Hopalong Cassidy.\n(George starts sliding, until he gets\nall his head -and glasses- under water,\nas Steinbrenner keeps talking) A show,\nabout that Mickey Mantle, wasn't it?\nYou know we used to talk.

Okay?\n\nELAINE\nI mean, is he allowed to do this? It's\ndiscrimination! I'm gonna\n\ncall the states' attorney office. I really am.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, this is fabulous. My God Elaine,\nyou have to taste this.\n\nELAINE\nAll right. All right. Give me a tsate.\nMmm! Oh God, I gotta sit\n\ndown. What happened?

You know what I just realized?\nSuddenly, George has become\n\nmuch more normal than you.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Come on. I mean, think about it.\nHe's engaged to be married.\n\nYour top priority is soup.\n\nJERRY\nHave you tastes the soup?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. All right. You made the right\ndecision.\n\nJERRY\nSee, the way I figure it, it's much\neasier to patch things up with\n\nSheila than with the Soup Nazi.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nOh, thanks.\n\nELAINE\nThere he is.\n\nKRAMER\nElaine, I'm really sorry about the armoire.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.

Why should I be happy?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know, but you look like you're\nhappy.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy should I care?\n\nJERRY\nYou can't fool me. Don't insult me,\nGeorge because I know when\n\nyou're happy.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right. I am happy, and I'll tell\nya why -- because the two of\n\nyou were making me and every one of your friends sick! Right,\nElaine?\n\n(Elaine sneaks out of Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nIs that so?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Yeah. With all that kissing and\nthe shmoopy, shmoopy,\n\nshmoopy, shmoopy, shmoopy out in public like that. It's disgusting!\n\nJERRY\nDisgusting?\n\nGEORGE\nPeople who do that should be arrested.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I guess I have all the more reason\nto get back with her.\n\nGEORGE\nYe - yeah. And we had a pact, you know.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nYou shook my hand in that coffee shop.\n\nJERRY\nYou're still with the pact?\n\nGEORGE\nMmm-hmm. You reneged.\n\nJERRY\nAll I did was shake your hand.\n\nGEORGE\nAh-ha!\n\nKRAMER\nAnd then they just ran off with the\narmoire, just like that.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nOhh! This city.\n\nNEWMAN\nOne large jambalaya, please.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nSo, continue.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, my friend is awful disappointed\nis all. You know, she's very\n\nemotional.\n\nNEWMAN\nThank you. (inhaling deeply) Jambalaya!\n\nSOUP NAZI\nAll right, now listen to me. You have\nbeen a good friend. I have\n\nan armoire in my basement. If you want to pick it up, you're\nwelcome\n\nto it. So, take it, it's yours.\n\nKRAMER\nHow can I possibly thank you?\n\nSOUP NAZI\nYou are the only one who understands\nme.\n\nKRAMER\nYou suffer for your soup.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nYes. That is right.\n\nKRAMER\nYou demand perfection from yourself,\nfrom your soup.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nHow can I tolerate any less from my\ncustomer?\n\nCUSTOMER\nUh, gazpacho, por favor.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nPor favor?\n\nCUSTOMER\nUm, I'm part Spanish.\n\nSOUP NAZI\nAdios muchacho!\n\nKRAMER\nGit.\n\nJERRY\nIt was stupid of me.\n\nSHEILA\nWell, it was very insulting.\n\nJERRY\nNo. I know. I - I was really sort of\nhalf-kidding.\n\nSHEILA\nWell, behind every joke there's some\ntruth.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about that Bavarian cream pie joke\nI told you? There's no truth\n\nto that. Nobody with a terminal illness goes from the United\nStates\n\nto Europe for a piece of Bavarian cream pie and then when they\nget\n\nthere and they don't have it he says \" Aw, I'll just have some\n\ncoffee.\" There's no truth to that.\n\nSHEILA\nWell, I guess you're right.\n\nJERRY\nSo, am I forgiven, shmoopy?\n\nSHEILA\nYes, shmoopy.\n\nJERRY\nAw!\n\nSUSAN\nHey, Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi Susan, George. You remember Sheila.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, yes. Hello.\n\nSHEILA\nHello. Won't you join us?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, thanks.\n\nSUSAN\nOf course.\n\nGEORGE\nYes. Well -- So, uh, sit on the same\nside at a booth, huh?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. That's right. You got a problem?\n\nGEORGE\nI, uh, just think it's a little unusual.\nTwo people to sit on one\n\nside...and leave the other side empty.\n\nJERRY\nWell, we're changing the rules.\n\nGEORGE\nAhh. Good for you.\n\nSUSAN\nAw, what are you getting George?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know, honey. What do you want\nto get? (in babying voice) I\n\nwant you to get anything you want...'cause I love you so much.\nI\n\nwant you to be happy. Okay, sweetie?\n\nSUSAN\nOh, George, you're so sweet.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I could be a little sweetie tweetie\nweetie weetie.\n\nSUSAN\nAww!\n\nJERRY\nWhat about you, shmoopy? How 'bout a\nlittle tuna? You want a little\n\ntuna fishy?\n\nSHEILA\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nYum yum little tuna fishy?\n\nGEORGE\nCome here.\n\n(George & Susan begin making out; Jerry & Sheila begin making\nout in order\n\nto keep up)\n\nKRAMER\nAnd..voila!\n\nELAINE\n(gasps)\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nOh!

George, when momma said\n'Bosco' she must have been\n\ntrying to communicate something, a legacy, a dying wish perhaps.\n\nGEORGE\nMothers say things.

A case of sponges? I mean, uh...a\ncase. Huh. Uh...how many come in a case?\n\nPHARMACIST\nSixty.\n\nELAINE\nSixty?! Uh...well, I'll take three.\n\nPHARMACIST\nThree.\n\nELAINE\nMake it ten.\n\nPHARMACIST\nTen?\n\nELAINE\nTwenty sponges should be plenty.\n\nPHARMACIST\nDid you say twenty?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, twenty-five sponges is just fine.\n\nPHARMACIST\nRight. So, you're set with twenty-five.\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Just give me the whole case and\nI'll be on my way.\n\nJerry and Lena having dinner in a restaurant with George and\nSusan.\n\nJERRY\nHey, I have found the best-smelling\ndetergent. Lena, smell my shirt.\n\nLENA\nMmm! Very nice.\n\nJERRY\nIt's All-Tempa-Cheer.\n\nLENA\nI use Planet. It's bio-degradable and\ndoesn't pollute the oceans.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, the oceans really are getting\nvery sudsy.\n\nLENA\nCan you wrap up all the left-overs on\nthe table, please? I always take the\nleft-overs. I work in a soup kitchen\nevery morning at 6 a.m.\n\nJERRY\nThey serve soup at 6 a.m.?\n\nLENA\nYeah. That's all they have.\n\nJERRY\nDo the bums ever complain? \"Soup again?\"\n\nGEORGE\nI'd get tired of it.\n\nJERRY\nHow could you not?\n\nLENA\nGuess who volunteered last week?\n\nGEORGE\nMick Jagger.\n\nLENA\nNo. Maya Angelou.\n\nSUSAN\nOh, the poet!\n\nJERRY\nSo, let me ask you something - these\npeople eat soup three times a day?\n\nLENA\nI don't know.\n\nSUSAN\nSo, did you get to talk to her?\n\nLENA\nTalk to who?\n\nJERRY\nIs it a lot of cream soups?\n\nSUSAN\nMaya Angelou, the poet.\n\nLENA\nNo, I didn't get the chance.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, well, I'm sure you can reach her...she's\na poet. What does a poet need an unlisted\nnumber for?\n\n(Jerry gives George a surprised look. George looks back, puzzled.)\n\nSUSAN\nI'm going to the ladies room.\n\nLENA\nI'll go with you. (They leave.)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you looking at me like that\nfor?\n\nJERRY\nWhy'd you have to mention 'unlisted\nnumber'?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I gotta tell you something,\nbut you cannot tell Susan.\n\n(George's interest is peaked.)\n\nGeorge and Susan in the car on the way home.\n\nSUSAN\nJerry got her phone number off of an\nAIDS walk list? Oh, that's awful!\n\nGEORGE\nI know, but don't say anything to anyone.\nHe told me not to tell you.\n\nSUSAN\nBut you told me anyway?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you know, I was thinking about\nwhat you said before, and...you're right,\nI've never really been a couple, so...if\nthat's the rule, then I'm gonna go by\nthe rule.\n\nSUSAN\nThank you, honey.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, you wanna go home and...make up,\nofficially?\n\nSUSAN\nCan we stop by a drug store first?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat for?\n\nSUSAN\nI'm out of birth control stuff.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, o.k., yeah. Where am I gonna park\nhere...? (Pulls over.)\n\nSUSAN\nOh, don't park. I'll just sit in the\ncar, you can run in.\n\nGEORGE\nMe run in? Why don't you run in?\n\nSUSAN\nYou don't know what I use for birth\ncontrol, do you?\n\nGEORGE\nOf course I do.\n\nSUSAN\nYou do? What?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know. You use the, uh...(mutters\nsomething unintelligible under his breath.)\n\nSUSAN\nThe what?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, the uh...(mutters it again.)\n\nSUSAN\nJust get me some sponges, please.\n\nGEORGE\nWait, wait a minute...they don't have\nthem anymore. I just found out, they\njust took them off the market.\n\nSUSAN\nOff the market? The sponge?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, so you gotta use something else.\n\nSUSAN\nI can't! I love the sponge! I need the\nsponge!\n\nGEORGE\nO.k....(thinks) I think I know where\nwe can get one.\n\nJerry approaching his apartment door. He hears the sound of a\nloud group of people from inside Kramer's place. He knocks on\nKramer's door. Kramer answers.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, what the hell is going on in\nthere?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's a poker game...(yells to the crowd)\nAnd I'm kickin' some serious butt!\n\nJERRY\nAre you out of your mind? You got the\nAIDS walk tomorrow!\n\nKRAMER\nOh, you gotta be kiddin'! You see those\ntwo ladies I got showin'? Do they look\nscared?!\n\nJERRY\nYou're never gonna make it!\n\n(Kramer giggles and returns to the game.)\n\nElaine and Billy in Elaine's apartment, kissing passionately\non the sofa.\n\nBILLY\nYou, uh...you wanna go in the bedroom?\n\nELAINE\nO.k. Hold on just a second. (Gets up\nand heads to the bathroom. George knocks\nat the door.)\n\nGEORGE\nElaine? It's me, George. (Elaine opens\nthe door.) Hey, sorry to bother you\nso late. (To Billy) Hey! How ya doin.'\n(To Elaine) Uh, did you get any of those\nsponges?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Cleaned out the whole west side.\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nWell...Susan.\n\nELAINE\nAh, Susan uses the sponge.\n\nGEORGE\nSusan loves the sponge.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I'm sorry, George. I can't help\nyou out.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nI can't do it. No way, there's no how.\n(Tries to push George out the door.\nGeorge resists.)\n\nGEORGE\nElaine...let me just explain something\nto you. See, this is not just a weekend\nroutine...I'm on the verge of make-up\nsex here. You know about make-up sex?\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah, I know all about make-up sex,\nand I'm really sorry. (Shoves George\ninto the hallway and closes the door.\nGeorge blocks the door with his foot.)\n\nGEORGE\nElaine, can I just explain something\nto you very privately here? Susan and\nI have been together many, many times\nnow, and just between you and me, there's\nreally no big surprises here, so...make-up\nsex is all that I have left.\n\nELAINE\nI'm sure you'll have another fight,\nGeorge. (Stamps on George's foot and\ncloses the door.) (To Billy) Hold that\nthought!\n\n(Elaine goes into the bathroom for a sponge, but then stops and\nreconsiders.)\n\nSusan talking on the phone with Monica.\n\nSUSAN\nSo, listen to this. But don't tell anyone\n- Jerry Seinfeld? He got a woman's number\noff an AIDS walk list.\n\n(Cut to Monica at home talking on the phone with Susan.)\n\nMONICA\nHe got her number off an AIDS walk list?\n\n(Cut to Lena at home talking on the phone with Monica.)\n\nLENA\nHe what?\n\nCommercial break.\n\nJerry and Lena in Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nHow'd you find out?\n\nLENA\nA friend of a friend of a friend of\nSusan's.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge!\n\nLENA\nPardon?\n\nJERRY\nNothing. Listen, I'm sorry, I just -\n\nLENA\nIt's o.k.! There's nothing to be sorry\nabout. I don't mind.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't mind that I got your number\noff the AIDS walk list?\n\nLENA\nNo, not at all. No problem. (Jerry looks\nat Lena suspiciously. Lena leaves with\nall of Kramer's poker buddies, who are\nfiling out of Kramer's apartment.)\n\nKRAMER\nAh, you're lucky you're walkin' out\nof here with a pair of pants on!\n\nJERRY\nYou went all night?\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, ah? Breakfast on me, huh?\n\nJERRY\nKramer, are you out of your mind? You\ngot the AIDS walk in like, three hours!\nYou're never gonna make it!\n\nKRAMER\nAIDS walk! That's a cake walk. (George\nenters.)

How'd she do that?\n\nJERRY\nA friend of a friend of Susan's.\n\nGEORGE\nMy Susan?\n\nJERRY\nWhy'd you tell her?!\n\nGEORGE\nBecause, Jerry, it's a couple rule!\nWe have to tell each other everything!\n\nJERRY\nWell you know what this means, don't\nyou?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\n//tinyurl.com/2b9c width=200 )\n\nJERRY\nYou're cut off, you're out of the loop!\n\nGEORGE\nYou're cutting me off?

That was the amazing\nthing.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, it didn't bother her?\n\nJERRY\nNo, she said it was fine. There's something\nvery strange about this girl.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nShe's too good.\n\nGEORGE\nToo good...\n\nJERRY\nI mean, she's giving and caring and\ngenuinely concerned about the welfare\nof others - I can't be with someone\nlike that!\n\nGEORGE\nI see what you mean.\n\nJERRY\nI mean, I admire the hell out of her.\nYou can't have sex with someone you\nadmire.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere's the depravity?\n\nJERRY\nNo depravity!

I mean, now I've got to re-evaluate\nmy whole screening process. I can't\nafford to waste any of 'em.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, you're nuts with these sponges.\nGeorge is gettin' frustrated!\n\nKramer signing in at the AIDS walk.\n\nKRAMER\nUh, Cosmo Kramer?\n\nORGANIZER\nUh...o.k., you're checked in. Here's\nyour AIDS ribbon.\n\nKRAMER\nUh, no thanks.\n\nORGANIZER\nYou don't want to wear an AIDS ribbon?\n\nKRAMER\nNo.\n\nORGANIZER\nBut you have to wear an AIDS ribbon.\n\nKRAMER\nI have to?\n\nORGANIZER\nYes.\n\nKRAMER\nSee, that's why I don't want to.\n\nORGANIZER\nBut everyone wears the ribbon.

Come back here\nand put this on!\n\nGeorge and Susan in a booth at the coffee shop.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine and her sponges...she's got like,\na war chest full of them.\n\nSUSAN\nWell, I don't see why you just can't\nuse condoms.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no, no...condoms are for single\nmen. The day that we got engaged, I\nsaid goodbye to the condom forever.\n\nSUSAN\nJust once...for the make-up sex.\n\nGEORGE\nMake-up sex? You have to have that right\nafter the fight, we're way past that.\n\nSUSAN\nCome on, just once?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no...I hate the condom.\n\nSUSAN\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nI can never get the package open in\ntime.\n\nSUSAN\nWell, you just tear it open.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's not that easy. It's like \"Beat\nThe Clock,\" there's a lot of pressure\nthere.\n\nKramer in the AIDS walk.\n\nWALKER #1\nHey, where's your ribbon?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I don't wear the ribbon.\n\nWALKER #2\nOh, you don't wear the ribbon? Aren't\nyou against AIDS?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'm against AIDS. I mean, I'm\nwalking, aren't I? I just don't wear\nthe ribbon.\n\nWALKER #3\nWho do you think you are?\n\nWALKER #1\nPut the ribbon on!\n\nWALKER #2\nHey, Cedric! Bob! This guy won't wear\na ribbon! (Cedric and Bob turn around\nand glare at Kramer.)\n\nBOB\nWho? Who does not want to wear the ribbon?\n(Kramer is frightened.)\n\nElaine and Billy in her apartment.\n\nELAINE\nSo, you think you're sponge-worthy?\n\nBILLY\nYes, I think I'm sponge-worthy. I think\nI'm very sponge-worthy.\n\nELAINE\nRun down your case for me again...?\n\nBILLY\nWell, we've gone out several times,\nwe obviously have a good rapport. I\nown a very profitable electronics distributing\nfirm. I eat well. I exercise. Blood\ntests - immaculate. And if I can speak\nfrankly, I'm actually quite good at\nit.\n\nELAINE\nYou going to do something about your\nsideburns?\n\nBILLY\nYeah, I told you...I'm going to trim\nmy sideburns.\n\nELAINE\nAnd the bathroom in your apartment?\n\nBILLY\nCleaned it this morning.\n\nELAINE\nThe sink, the tub, everything got cleaned?\n\nBILLY\nEverything, yeah. It's spotless.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, let's go. (They head for the\nbedroom.)\n\nJerry arrives at Lena's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\nLENA\nHi! Hey, look at this - I just got a\ncitation in the mail for my work with\nshut-ins.\n\nJERRY\nOh, the shut-ins, that's nice. You know,\nthey're a very eccentric group. Because\nthey're shut in. Of course, they're\nnot locked in, they're free to go at\nanytime.\n\nLENA\nOh, by the way, I checked at the soup\nkitchen - they do have cream soups.\n\nJERRY\nHey, that's dynamite. You know, Lena,\nI wanted to talk to you about something...you\nknow, because you're such a good person\n-\n\nLENA\nOh, hang onto that thought - I'm rinsing\na sweater, I left the water running.\n(Goes into the bathroom.) Hey, Jerry,\ncan you get me a towel out of my bedroom\ncloset?\n\nJERRY\nOh, o.k. (Goes to the closet for the\ntowel and finds dozens of boxes of Today\nsponges.)\n\nJERRY'S BRAIN\nOh my god! Look what's goin' on here!\nShe is depraved! (Grabs a towel and\nbrings it to Lena.) There you are.\n\nLENA\nThanks. So, you were saying...?\n\nJERRY\nWhat? Nothing.\n\nLENA\nNo, you said I was a good person...\n\nJERRY\nOh...\n\nLENA\nYou seem like you want to tell me something.\n\nJERRY\nTell you something...I do.\n\nLENA\nWhat is it, Jerry? You can tell me anything.\n\nJERRY\nOh, uh...you see these jeans I'm wearing?\n\nLENA\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nI change the 32 waist on the label to\na 31 on all my jeans. So, you know.\nThat's it. (Lena is puzzled.)\n\nGeorge and Susan in bed. We see George's hands struggling to\nopen a condom wrapper.\n\nSUSAN\nCome on, George, just tear it open.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm trying, dammit.\n\nSUSAN\nTear it.\n\nGEORGE\nI tried to tear it from the side, you\ncan't get a good grip here. You gotta\ndo it like a bag of chips.\n\nSUSAN\nHere give it to me.\n\nGEORGE\nWould you wait a second? Just wait?\n(They fight over it.)\n\nSUSAN\nGive it to me. (She rips it open.) Come\non. Come on!\n\nGEORGE\nIt's too late.\n\nKramer surrounded by Cedric, Bob, and the other walkers.\n\nBOB\nSo! What's it going to be? Are you going\nto wear the ribbon?\n\nKRAMER\nNo! Never.\n\nBOB\nBut I am wearing the ribbon. He is wearing\nthe ribbon. We are all wearing the ribbon!\nSo why aren't you going to wear the\nribbon!?\n\nKRAMER\nThis is America! I don't have to wear\nanything I don't want to wear!\n\nCEDRIC\nWhat are we gonna do with him?\n\nBOB\nI guess we are just going to have to\nteach him to wear the ribbon!\n\n(Kramer tries to climb up a fire escape, but the mob grabs him\nand pulls him back down. Kramer screams.)\n\nJerry and George waiting for Kramer at the finish line.\n\nJERRY\nIt completely turned her off.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I can see that. What do you have\nto do that for? Who cares about your\npants size?\n\nJERRY\nI don't wanna be a 32.\n\nGEORGE\nI'd kill to be a 32.\n\nJERRY\nShe said I wasn't sponge-worthy. Wouldn't\nwaste a sponge on me!\n\nGEORGE\nThat condom killed me. Why do they have\nto make the wrappers on those things\nso hard to open?\n\nJERRY\nIt's probably so the woman has one last\nchance to change her mind.\n\nGEORGE\nYou never run out, do you? (Jerry smiles.)\nWhere's Kramer? Everything's finished\nhere.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I told him he'd never make it. He\nwas up all night! Oh my god...Kramer?\n\n(They see Kramer staggering towards them with cuts and bruises,\nclothes torn, one shoe off. He collapses and crawls across the\nfinish line.)\n\nJERRY\nLook at you. I told you. Up all night\nplaying poker. Come on. (Jerry and George\nare about to leave. George turn's back\nand looks at Kramer.)\n\nGEORGE\nHey, where's you AIDS ribbon?\n\n(Kramer looks at George unbelievingly.)\n\nElaine and Billy in bed the next morning.\n\nELAINE\nGood morning.\n\nBILLY\nHow'd you sleep?\n\nELAINE\nGreat. You?\n\nBILLY\nFine, fine. Everything o.k.?\n\nELAINE\nYep.\n\nBILLY\nNo regrets?\n\nELAINE\nNope. (Billy leans in to kiss her.)\nWhat are you doing?\n\nBILLY\nWhat do you mean?\n\nELAINE\nOh...I don't think so.\n\nBILLY\nWhy not? I thought you said everything\nwas fine.\n\nELAINE\nI wish I could help you, but I can't\nafford two of 'em.

Deena, Deena, l... look who's\nhere.\n\nPop lifts the hood of the car, and leans into the engine compartment.\n\nDEENA\nGeorge Costanza, is that you?\n\nGEORGE\nHey Deena, come on, give us a hug. (they\nhug) Oh my gosh, you look as\n\npretty as you did back in high school.\n\nDEENA\nBoy, those were some crazy times.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. Speaking of crazy, did you\nhear about Lloyd Braun?\n\nLobby)\n\nKramer is leading Jerry and Elaine on a tour of the Alex. There\nare a few\n\ncustomers scattered about and a bored attendant behind the counter.\nElaine has a\n\nbig bucket of popcorn.\n\nKRAMER\nThe Alex was built in nineteen twenty-two,\nduring the golden era of\n\nmovie palaces. Minor restorations in nineteen forty-one, forty-seven,\nfifty-two,\n\nfifty-eight, sixty-three, and currently to our present period\nof time.\n\nELAINE\nBoy, you're really getting into this\naren't you?\n\nKRAMER\nYes, yes I am. The icing on the cake\nwould be getting that landmark\n\nstatus from the City. We're hoping Lloyd Braun can pull a few\nstrings.\n\nJERRY\nOh, can Lloyd really do that?\n\nKRAMER\nLloyd Braun can do anything he puts\nhis mind to. He's fine, Jerry. (to\n\nElaine) And you should say hello to him, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\n(concerned) What? Lloyd is here?\n\nKramer indicates Lloyd approaching.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? No, no, I'd rather...\n\nLLOYD\nHi Elaine.\n\nELAINE\n(big fake smile) Lloyd, yes. Hello.\n\nLLOYD\nKramer tell you? We reserved some special\nseats, so we can all sit\n\ntogether.\n\nELAINE\n(reluctant) Oh, well... I, uh, actually\nLloyd, Jerry and I have to sit\n\nin the front row, uhm, (desperately inventing) because uh, because,\nbecause he,\n\nhe forgot his glasses. So uh, thanks for getting us... uhm, we'll\nsee you\n\nafterwards.\n\nElaine grabs Jerry by the arm and leads him toward the auditorium.\n\nLLOYD\nThat was odd. Am I crazy, or does Jerry\nnot wear glasses?\n\nKRAMER\n(emphatic) You're not crazy. Jerry does\nwear glasses. He just forgot\n\n'em, that's all. (puts an arm round Lloyd's shoulder) Not crazy.\n\nAuditorium)\n\nJerry and Elaine sit in the front row of seats. Elaine is eating\npopcorn.\n\nJERRY\nWe're all the way in the front row.\nWhy couldn't we sit in the special\n\nseats?\n\nELAINE\nI'm sorry, but I didn't want Lloyd thinking\nI was leading him on again.\n\nSeeing him made me feel very uncomfortable.\n\nThe lights go down, and music is heard as the show begins. Jerry\nand Elaine lean\n\nback in their seats to be able to see the screen\n\nJERRY\nNah, you don't wanna be uncomfortable.\n\nQueens)\n\nDeena and George are still talking. Pop is under the hood of\nGeorge's car. Bangs\n\nand clanks can be heard as he fiddles with the mechanics.\n\nDEENA\nPoor Lloyd.\n\nGEORGE\nI know. Completely bonkers!\n\nDEENA\nSorry I can't be so flip about this\nkind of thing. You know, after what\n\nhappened to Pop.\n\nGEORGE\nPop? What happened to Pop?\n\nDEENA\nI thought you heard. He had a nervous\nbreakdown last year. That's why I'm\n\ntaking care of him.\n\nPop comes out momentarily.\n\nPOP\nOh, I tell you, they don't build 'em\nlike this any more.\n\nHe goes back under the hood.\n\nGEORGE\n(a little worried) He uh, he doesn't\nhave the auto shop any more?\n\nDEENA\nUhn, it was too much for him.\n\nPop is thumping away at part of the engine with a spanner.\n\nGEORGE\n(very worried) Uhm, I, I gotta go.\n\nDEENA\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI just remembered, I gotta be someplace.\nYuh-hu-hur, that's enough. Pop.\n\nPop, put down the wrench, Pop.\n\nAuditorium)\n\nKramer and Lloyd sits side by side in the special seats, watching\nSpartacus.\n\nThey're smiling happily.\n\nJerry and Elaine lean uncomfortably back in their front-row seats.\nThey're both\n\neating popcorn. Elaine drops a piece onto her blouse, where it\nrests next to a\n\nfancy button. She retrieves the corn, and dislodges the button\nwithout noticing.\n\nThe button falls to the floor where it rests among other detritus.\n\n(George's Car)\n\nGeorge is driving along the road in his Le Baron. Over the usual\nengine noise\n\ncan be heard a metallic rasping, grinding noise. George listens\nfor a few\n\nmoments, wondering where it's coming from. Then he looks concerned,\nthen angry.\n\nGEORGE\nPop! POP!!\n\nLobby)\n\nKramer and Jerry stand in the lobby. Kramer smoking his pipe,\nJerry massaging\n\nhis neck. Lloyd wanders over to join them.\n\nLLOYD\n's a great movie, huh?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nLLOYD\nSorry you forgot those glasses.\n\nJERRY\nI don't know what I was thinking.\n\nLLOYD\nHow'd you like that gum?\n\nJERRY\n(noncommittal) Errh.\n\nKRAMER\n(slapping Jerry on the back) Ah, he\nloved it.\n\nElaine enters. In the absence of the button she lost in the auditorium,\nher\n\nblouse is open to below her breasts, and everything's in the\nshop window. Not\n\nthat she knows it.\n\nELAINE\nHey Kramer, you know what? There, there\nisn't a light there, in the\n\nladies' room.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah. It's being repaired.\n\nElaine is suffering with her neck. She rolls her head back and\nfeels the back of\n\nher neck with her hand.\n\nELAINE\nOh. Oh God.\n\nLLOYD\nYou alright?\n\nElaine stretches her back and neck, at the same time pushing\nher upperworks into\n\ngreater prominence.\n\nELAINE\nAh, I sat too close to the screen. Oh.\nI just gotta stretch out in a hot\n\nbath. It was nice to see you again, Lloyd.\n\nElaine leaves. Kramer and Lloyd both stare after her.\n\n(Street Outside Alex)\n\nElaine walks down the sidewalk, her blouse still open. A florist\nis using a hose\n\nto wash down the sidewalk in front of his store. Elaine carefully\nsteps by,\n\npicking her way past. The florist also stares at Elaine's exposure.\n\nA cop stands a little further down the street. Elaine approaches\nhim.\n\nELAINE\nOfficer. Officer, is there some reason\nthis man has to always be using a\n\nhose? I mean, he's flooding the sidewalk. It's a waste of water.\nCouldn't he\n\njust use a broom?\n\nThe cop stares at Elaine's breasts the whole time she's talking.\n\nCOP\nLady, you sold me. (strides toward florist)\nHey, you with the hose.\n\nElaine looks confused about his attitude. She glances down, and\nnotices her\n\nblouse wide open. She quickly pulls her coat closed, to hide\nher embarrassment,\n\nand hurries away.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nKramer is handing Jerry a pair of spectacles.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, put these glasses on.\n\nJERRY\n(taking them) Well, what's this for?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well Lloyd, he's gonna be here\nany minute now.\n\nJERRY\nSo what?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, he thinks you wear those.\n\nJerry looks at the glasses with some distaste.\n\nKRAMER\nThey're from the lost and found at the\nAlex.\n\nJERRY\nAw, c'mon Kramer, this is ridiculous.\nI'm not gonna put these on.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. Okay. So he'll just think that the\ntwo of you didn't sit with him on\n\npurpose. Ooh yeah, that's very nice. Very nice.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nGeorge leans on the counter by the cash register, behind which\nsits Ruthie\n\nCohen.\n\nGEORGE\n'scuse me. I uh, I was in here this\nmorning and uh, I believe I paid you\n\nwith a twenty dollar bill, (smiles) but you only gave me change\nfor a ten.\n\nCASHIER\nI don't think so.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I think so, and I can prove it.\nYou see, I was doodling on the bill\n\nand uh, so if you have a twenty in there with big lips on it...\nwell, (smiles)\n\nthat's mine. Would you mind opening up the register?\n\nCASHIER\nNot unless you buy something.\n\nGEORGE\nFine, I'll buy a pack of gum.\n\nLloyd approaches the register to pay for something. The cashier\nrings up\n\nGeorge's purchase.\n\nLLOYD\nHey George. Thought you didn't chew\ngum?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't.\n\nRuthie opens the drawer on the register.\n\nCASHIER\nTake a look.\n\nGeorge goes round to the other side of the register and picks\nup all the\n\ntwenty-dollar bills. He shuffles through them, examining them\nfor doodles.\n\nGEORGE\nI know I gave it to you.\n\nLLOYD\nGeorge, would you mind. I'm kind of\nin a hurry.\n\nIn addition to Lloyd, another customer is waiting to pay.\n\nGEORGE\n(frustrated) Fine. Fine. (to customer)\nExcuse me. (heading for the door)\n\nThink I'm gonna forget about this? I haven't forgotten about\nthis. I don't\n\nforget that easily!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is reading a newspaper, and holding it in such a way as\nto conceal his\n\nface.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Jerry, look who's here.\n\nJerry folds over the top half of the paper, in order to see his\nvisitor. He also\n\nreveals to all that he is wearing the spectacles Kramer gave\nhim earlier.\n\nJERRY\nAh, Lloyd.\n\nLLOYD\nHi Jerry. Got some more of that gum.\n\nHe proffers the packet to Jerry.\n\nJERRY\n(unenthusiastic) Oh, the gum.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, let's all enjoy a chew, huh?\n\nJERRY\n(still not happy) Uh, alright. (he takes\na piece)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, boy.\n\nKramer and Lloyd sit on the couch. All of them start chewing\non the gum.\n\nKRAMER\nNow see, this is what the holidays are\nall about. Three buddies, sitting\n\naround, chewing gum, huh? Mmm, mmm, yeah. So uh, you know, Lloyd,\nhe thinks he\n\ncan get more of this.\n\nJerry makes a show of removing his glasses and cleaning them.\n\nJERRY\nWell, Lloyd's a very industrious fellow.\nI'm sure he can accomplish\n\nanything he sets his mind to.\n\nJerry puts his glasses back on.\n\nLLOYD\nActually, the importer's right in Chinatown.\nI'll introduce you to him,\n\nyou can get it whenever you want.\n\nJERRY\n's not necessary.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Jerry, you know, Lloyd wants to\ndo you a favour.\n\nJERRY\nI know that, Kramer.\n\nLLOYD\nWell, if you don't want to...\n\nKRAMER\nNo, sure sure, he wants to. It's very\nkind of you. Yeah, Jerry, he\n\nappreciates it. Don't you, Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nYes I do, Kramer.\n\nLLOYD\nSo...\n\nKRAMER\nYeah?\n\nLLOYD\nHow about that Elaine today, huh?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, baby, what was that all about, huh?\n\nLLOYD\n(to Jerry) She was practically undressing\nin front of me at the theatre.\n\nJERRY\nI didn't see anything.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, you uh, really missed a show,\nbuddy. Wooh, ba-boom,\n\nba-boom-ba-ba-ba-boom-ba.\n\nThey continue to chew on the gum. Lloyd seemingly happily, Jerry\nclearly not\n\nliking it, and Kramer not liking it, but unwilling to show it\nto Lloyd.\n\n(Park)\n\nGeorge and Deena sit on a bench.\n\nDEENA\nYou're probably wondering why I wanted\nto see you again.\n\nGeorge clearly thinks he's clicked.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, you know. (grins, snorts) It's\nunderstandable.\n\nHe pats Deena on the knee.\n\nDEENA\nI'm glad you feel that way. Because\nsince my father's breakdown I uh,\n\nbecome very sensitive to the warning signs.\n\nGEORGE\nWarning signs?\n\nDEENA\nNervousness, irritability, paranoia.\n\nGEORGE\n(disbelief) What? (laugh) Wh... what're\nyou talking about? I'm not the\n\none with the problem. (defensive) Lloyd Braun was in the nuthouse,\nnot me.\n\nDEENA\nYet again, taking pleasure in the misfortunes\nof others.\n\nGEORGE\nAll my friends do that.\n\nDEENA\nGeorge, I'm only trying to help...\n\nGeorge is staring past Deena at something a short distance away.\n\nDEENA\nI'm... I'm concerned. George? George,\nare you listening to me?\n\nGEORGE\nYou see that woman on the horse? (points)\n\nRuthie Cohen is passing by on horseback.\n\nGEORGE\nShe stole twenty dollars from me. (getting\nangry) Yeah, I might've\n\ngotten it back, but Lloyd Braun interfered!\n\nDEENA\nSo again it all comes back to Lloyd.\n\nGEORGE\n(rising to his feet) Hey! Hey, you!\n(setting off after her) Come back\n\nhere!! Don't gallop away!!\n\nGeorge runs away, yelling after the retreating Ruthie Cohen.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJerry and George sit in a booth. There's a different cashier\non duty.\n\nJERRY\nSo you say she was on a horse?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm telling you, that cashier is riding\nhorses on my money.\n\nJERRY\nWell, here's what I propose. Go down\nto the stables, snoop around. See if\n\nany high-flying cashier's been throwing twenty dollar bills around\nwith big\n\nlips.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if it isn't Chesty La Rue.\n\nELAINE\n(sits beside Jerry) What?\n\nJERRY\nI was chewing gum with Lloyd Braun,\nand he was bragging about the\n\npeepshow you gave him at the Alex.\n\nELAINE\n(laughing it away) Oh God. I lost a\nbutton, so my blouse was wide open.\n\nI musta left it at the theatre.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe it's in the lost and found.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I know. I have to go check it\nout. It's a beautiful button too,\n\nyou know. It's antique ivory. It was my mother's.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, the way you were wolfing down\nthat popcorn, maybe you ate it.\n\nLobby)\n\nKramer greets a small elderly gent.\n\nKRAMER\nMr Har-harwood. Well, what an unexpected\nsurprise to have you back at\n\nthe Alex Theatre.\n\nHAARWOOD\nWell I, I'm in a bit of a quandary.\nI've misplaced my spectacles.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, let's look in lost and found,\nshall we?\n\nKramer ducks behind the counter to retrieve the lost and found\nbox.\n\nHAARWOOD\nThey're half-glasses.\n\nKramer pops his head up, a thought having occurred.\n\nKRAMER\nBrown?\n\nHAARWOOD\nMmm, yes, yes.\n\nKramer places the cardboard box marked 'Lost and Found' on the\ncounter.\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yeah. Ah, well if they're not in\nthe box, I'm sure they'll turn up\n\nsoon. Listen, could you keep an eye on the place? I wanna go\nout and get some\n\nparaffin wax, and bring out the lustre of this vintage countertop.\n\nHAARWOOD\nCertainly.\n\nKramer leaves. Haarwood begins to rummage through the contents\nof the box. After\n\na few seconds, he finds something. He lifts it out for a closer\nlook. It's the\n\nbutton Elaine dropped earlier.\n\nHAARWOOD\nOh my goodness. What a spanking button.\n\nStreet Outside Alex)\n\nGeorge starts his car. It's still making unhealthy noises.\n\nAs he sits with the engine running, a car pulls up in the street\nbehind him. The\n\ndriver sounds the horn at George as he sits in his parking spot.\n\nGEORGE\n(glances in mirror) Alright. Alright.\n\nThe horn sounds again.\n\nGEORGE\n(getting annoyed) Hang on, it's warming\nup!\n\nThe horn sounds several more times, impatiently. George has had\nenough. He\n\nclimbs out of his car.\n\nGEORGE\n(angrily) Oh you mother...\n\nGeorge stalks round his car and up to the driver's window of\nthe car sounding\n\nits horn.\n\nGEORGE\nHey! What is your problem?\n\nThe driver rolls down the window, and we see Ruthie Cohen.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, hello, it's you! (angry) Listen\nlady, I got six minutes left on that\n\nmeter, and I'm not budging til you admit you stole my twenty\ndollars. (smug)\n\nHuh-hu-hur, you're not so tough when you're not on your horse,\nare you Ruthie?\n\nCASHIER\nYour car's on fire.\n\nThe reflection of leaping flames can be seen in Ruthie's window.\nGeorge dashes\n\noff back to his car.\n\nGEORGE\nAah! Fire!\n\nCASHIER\n(after George) Merry Christmas!\n\nFlames are coming from under the hood of the Le Baron.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) Fire!!\n\nThe florist is standing holding a broom. George rushes to him.\n\nGEORGE\nYour hose! Where's your hose?!\n\nFLORIST\nCop made me disconnect it.\n\nGeorge grabs the broom from the florist, and begins beating at\nthe flames with\n\nno effect. After a few seconds, the broom is alight.\n\n(Street Outside Alex)\n\nThe whole front of George's car is burnt out. The plastic body\nparts have melted\n\naway. The hood is wide open, showing the devastation within.\nGeorge stands,\n\nholding the charred remnants of the broom. He's staring catatonically\nat the\n\ndamage. Kramer walks up and does a double-take at the sight.\n\nKRAMER\nJeez! What happened to your car, buddy?\n\nGEORGE\nThe Jon Voight car is no more.\n\nKRAMER\nWow. Well, don't you sweat it. You can\nuse my car any time you want to.\n\nGEORGE\nNo kidding?\n\nKRAMER\nNo kidding.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, thanks. I owe you a big one.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, merry Christmas.\n\nKramer walks on.\n\nGEORGE\n(staring at the wreck) Whatever.\n\nLobby)\n\nJerry is waiting. He's wearing the glasses from earlier.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'm here. Where's Braun?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat, he's not here yet?\n\nJERRY\nLook, I'll go downtown to Chinatown\nwith him, but that is it!\n\nKRAMER\nListen, I'm gonna need those glasses.\n\nKramer reaches across and plucks the glasses from Jerry's face.\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nKRAMER\nThey're Geoffrey Haarwood's.\n\nKramer rummages in lost and found, and brings out another pair\nof spectacles.\n\nKRAMER\n(proffering) Here, try this pair.\n\nJerry puts them on. The lenses are much stronger than the first\npair - they're\n\nlike bottle-bottoms. He stares through them, his eyes magnified\nhugely. It's\n\nobvious he can't see at all clearly.\n\nJERRY\nAw, these are really strong glasses.\n\nHe takes a step and almost trips over the counter.\n\nLLOYD\nHey gum-buddy. Nice frames. You ready\nto go?\n\nJERRY\n(lacking enthusiasm) Yeah, yeah.\n\nKRAMER\n(clapping Jerry on the back) Oh yeah,\nhe's all ready to go.\n\nLLOYD\nAnybody see Elaine today?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, she called a little earlier.\nShe's coming over to check out\n\nlost and found.\n\nLLOYD\nMaybe I'll stick around and see what\nshe's wearing today. Or not wearing,\n\nif you know what I mean.\n\nThey chuckle.\n\nJERRY\nAbsolutely. Let's just stick around.\n\nLLOYD\nAh, tell you what, they're expecting\nus though. Lemme just grab a hotdog\n\nhere.\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yeah.\n\nLloyd goes to the counter, and speaks to the attendant.\n\nLLOYD\nI'd like a hotdog, please.\n\nThe attendant looks to the machine, which contains one hotdog.\nThe appearance of\n\nthe article is not pleasant. It's wrinkled, shriveled, and generally\n\ndisgusting.\n\nATTENDANT\nAre you outta your mind?\n\nHearing this, Kramer dashes over.\n\nKRAMER\nWh...wh...wh... what's the problem here?\n\nATTENDANT\nThis hotdog's been here since the silent\nera. You'd have to be insane\n\nto eat it.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no, no, no. This man is not\ninsane. Now there's nothing wrong\n\nwith it or you.\n\nLLOYD\nKramer, maybe...\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no, no. I'll show you. (slams\na bill down on the counter) One\n\nhotdog please.\n\nATTENDANT\n(on your head be it) Okay.\n\nKRAMER\nMmm, doesn't that smell good, huh?\n\nThe attendant hands over the hotdog.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, here we go, yeah. (he takes a\nbig bite) Mmm, oh. That's delicious.\n\nMmm. It's a perfectly sane food to eat. (he takes another bite)\n\nAs he chews, it begins to be apparent that all is not as it should\nbe with the\n\nhotdog.\n\nKRAMER\nUhm, interesting texture. It's chewy.\n(he half-coughs, half-retches) I\n\ngotta get, some air.\n\nKramer stumbles toward the exit, bits of half-chewed hotdog falling\nfrom his\n\nmouth.\n\n(Street Outside Alex)\n\nKramer walks stiffly along the sidewalk. He's breathing heavily,\nand loosening\n\nhis collar. He walks by the florist, who is brushing the sidewalk\nagain. As\n\nKramer passes George's car, his struggle with the rancid hotdog\nends with the\n\nhotdog triumphant, and he leans into the gutter behind the Le\nBaron and vomits\n\ncopiously. The florist looks rueful, leans his broom against\nhis door, and\n\nfetches his hose, whilst Kramer continues his refunding.\n\nLater)\n\nThe florist is hosing away the traces of Kramer's visit. Elaine\nwalks up to him.\n\nELAINE\nExcuse me. 'scuse me, weren't you told\nto stop using that hose?\n\nFLORIST\nHow would you happen to know that?\n\nELAINE\nWell, uhm... I...\n\nFLORIST\n(accusing) You're that lady that was\ntalking to the cops, aren't you?\n\nELAINE\nUh... I...\n\nA voice calls from across the street.\n\nVOICE\nHey, Joe!\n\nThe florist turns to see who's shouting. As he does, he raises\nthe nozzle of his\n\nhose, so instead of hosing the sidewalk, he sprays Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nNo, wait! You're soaking me, you're\nsoaking me!\n\nThe florist notices what he's done and turns off the hose.\n\nLobby)\n\nJerry sits beside Kramer, who still looks unwell. Lloyd stands\ncomforting\n\nKramer. Elaine enters. She has removed her jacket, and is wearing\na wringing wet\n\nt-shirt.\n\nELAINE\nHey. Hey everybody.\n\nLLOYD\nWhoah, Elaine! Once again, you've managed\nto top yourself. C'mon Jerry,\n\nlet's go. Car's out front.\n\nLloyd leaves. Jerry stands and peers about himself through the\nover-strength\n\nglasses. All he can make out are vague blurred shapes.\n\nJERRY\nLloyd?\n\nHe moves across the lobby, slowly, holding his hands out to feel\nfor obstacles.\n\nJERRY\nLloyd?\n\nJerry leaves.\n\nELAINE\n(exasperated) What is Lloyd's problem?\n\nKRAMER\nLook, honey, I know you're trying to\nget Lloyd to notice you, but this\n\nis too much. Parading around in a wet T-shirt.\n\nELAINE\nUhh, I got sprayed with a hose.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well, I'm sorry, but the Alex\nis a family theatre, not one of your\n\nswing joints.\n\nElaine casts her eyes heavenward.\n\n(Street Outside Alex)\n\nThe remains of George's car are being towed away. On the opposite\nside of the\n\nroad, watching, are Deena and George.\n\nDEENA\nSo, you want my father to pay for this?\n\nGEORGE\nYou saw him. He was fiddling with the\nengine. God knows what he did\n\nthere.\n\nDEENA\nAnd I suppose Lloyd Braun had something\nto do with it too.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, not Lloyd Braun. But the cashier.\n\nDEENA\nWhat cashier?\n\nGEORGE\nYou remember the woman on the horse?\nShe wanted my spot.\n\nDEENA\nTo park her horse?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, she wasn't on the horse.\n\nDEENA\nSo, your car caught fire because of\nmy father and the woman on the horse?\n\nGEORGE\nThat's right.\n\nAcross the street, the florist is outside his store, arranging\nflowers.\n\nGEORGE\n(points) And him!\n\nDEENA\nThe man with the flowers?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah, the flower guy. Listen,\nI know this all sounds a little\n\ncrazy, but...\n\nA car pulls up beside George and Deena. George looks in the window.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe it. Look, that's Jerry\nSeinfeld.\n\nDEENA\nWho?\n\nGEORGE\nJerry Seinfeld. My best friend. He can\nexplain all of this. (calls to\n\nJerry) Jerry.\n\nJerry hears his name called and turns his head, but all he can\nsee are blurry\n\ncolored shapes.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry! Over here Jerry. It's me!\n\nThe car pulls away, leaving George calling after it.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, where y'going? It's... what're...\n\nDEENA\n(doubtful) That was your best friend?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah, but he doesn't wear glasses.\n\nDEENA\nThat man was wearing glasses.\n\nGEORGE\nI know. Don't you see. (emphatic) He\nwas doing it to fool Lloyd Braun!\n\n(Lloyd Braun's Car)\n\nJerry and Lloyd have reached Chinatown. Lloyd parks the car.\n\nLLOYD\nI'll run in and get the gum.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nLLOYD\nGot any money?\n\nJerry digs his wallet out of his pocket. He opens it and extracts\na bill. He\n\npeers at it, trying to work out what denomination it is, but\nthe glasses are\n\nstill too strong.\n\nJERRY\n(handing it over) Here.\n\nLloyd takes the bill, looks at it, smiles a little with surprise.\n\nLLOYD\n(climbing out of the car) I'll be back.\n\n(Street)\n\nGeorge and Deena walk along together.\n\nGEORGE\nLook, Deena, I know you think I'm crazy,\nbut I'm not. This is just a\n\nseries of bad coincidences.\n\nDEENA\nI don't know, George. I don't know what\nto believe.\n\nGEORGE\nBelieve me, I am not crazy.\n\nDEENA\nWell, I guess it's possible.\n\n(Lloyd Braun's Car)\n\nJerry sits waiting. Lloyd gets in.

A hundred dollar's worth.\n\nJERRY\n(incredulous) I gave you a hundred dollars?!\n\nLLOYD\nYou sure did. Am I crazy, or is that\na lotta gum?\n\nJERRY\nIt's a lotta gum!\n\n(The Institute)\n\nThe room is festooned with props and costumes from old movies.\n\nKRAMER\nMr Hararwood. Found your glasses.\n\nHAARWOOD\nOh, splendid. Welcome to the Institute\nfor the Preservation of Motion\n\nPicture Costumes and Wardrobe.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, the I.P.M.P.C.W.\n\nHAARWOOD\nWell eh, we prefer to call it the Institute.\n\nKramer notices a particular costume.\n\nKRAMER\nIs that from Henry the Eighth?\n\nHAARWOOD\nYes, yes, it is.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you know, we're screening that\ntonight at the Alex. Do you think\n\nthat I could wear that to promote the theatre?\n\nHAARWOOD\nWell, I... I'd love to lend it to you,\nbut I doubt if it would fit a\n\nman of your impressive, Raymond Massey-like, physique. The only\nperson who could\n\nreally fit into this costume, would have to be a short, stocky,\nman of somewhat\n\ngenerous proportions.\n\nKRAMER\n(an idea occurs) You don't say.\n\n(Street)\n\nKramer and George walk together. George is wearing the Henry\nVIII costume -\n\ndoublet and hose, cloak, crown, etc.\n\nKRAMER\nYou're really helping me out with this,\nbuddy. Kids are gonna be so\n\nthrilled.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. You really cashed in on\nthat favor pretty quick.\n\nKRAMER\nRemember, you're a king, you must project\na Royal bearing.\n\nGEORGE\n(angry undertone) Oh, I'm gonna give\nyou a Royal bearing. Wait a minute,\n\nwait a minute. Lemme get a pack of gum here.\n\nHe gets his wallet from under the cape, and goes to the window\nof a kiosk.\n\nGEORGE\n(handing over a bill) Can I get a pack\nof gum, please?\n\nGUY\nI beg your pardon, your majesty, but\nwe don't accept bills with lipstick\non\n\nthe president.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? Huh, so I had it all along. How\nd'you like that? (snorts) I guess\n\nI owe that cashier an apology.\n\nDeena is walking toward George and Kramer. She sees George in\nhis costume and\n\njumps to the obvious conclusion.\n\nDEENA\nOh my God!\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. Deena, it's not what you think.\n\nDeena turns and begins to walk away.\n\nGEORGE\nTh... this isn't mine.\n\nGeorge begins to walk after Deena, who accelerates to a trot.\n\nGEORGE\nI got it from the Institute. The Institute.\n\nDeena breaks into a run, with George chasing her.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) Dee... Deena!\n\nLobby)\n\nKramer stands behind the counter, upon which Elaine leans. Mr\nHaarwood enters.\n\nKRAMER\nAhh, Mr Haarwood. Well, you certainly\nknow how to dress for a premiere.\n\nHAARWOOD\nWell, thank you. Uh, where is your friend\nKing Henry?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, he ran away.\n\nLloyd enters.\n\nLLOYD\nHey Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nI need to talk to you.\n\nLloyd and Kramer go away to the side of the lobby, where they\ngo into a quiet\n\nconversation. Elaine is peering over at Mr Haarwood, and in particular\nat the\n\nbutton he's wearing on his cravat.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, that button looks very familiar.\n\nHAARWOOD\nYes, it, it, it's antique ivory.\n\nELAINE\nI, I think that's my button. (wanders\nover to Haarwood) You know, I've\n\nbeen looking all over for it. Did, did you find it here?\n\nHAARWOOD\nYes, it was in the lost and found.\n\nELAINE\nShall I undo it?\n\nHAARWOOD\nOh yes, of course you can.\n\nELAINE\nOh, thank you.\n\nElaine moves very close to Mr Haarwood, and reaches under his\nchin to remove the\n\nbutton.\n\nHAARWOOD\nI'm a little ticklish.\n\nELAINE\nOh. (giggly) Tickle, tickle.\n\nKramer and Lloyd are both staring over at the sight of Elaine\ntickling Mr\n\nHaarwood under the chin, giggling, apparently flirting.\n\nLLOYD\nWe've really gotta get the Elaine a\nboyfriend.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, tell me about it.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Rye.html", "text": "THE RYE\n\nWritten by\n\nCarol Leifer\n\nELAINE\n(thinking) I can't believe I'm going\nout with this guy.

The rooster has\nsex with all of them.\n\nFRANK\nThat's perverse.\n\nGEORGE\nDid anybody see Firestorm?\n\nMR. ROSS\nFirestorm, that's a hell of a picture.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nMR.

I didn't like that.\n\nFRANK\nAnd who doesn't serve cake after a meal?\nWhat kind of people? Would it\n\nkill them to put out a pound cake? Something!\n\nGEORGE\nSo, they didn't give you a piece of\ncake? Big deal.\n\nESTELLE\nIt is a big deal. You're supposed to\nserve cake after a meal. I'm\n\nsorry. It's impolite.\n\nFRANK\nNot impolite...it's stupid, that's what\nit is. You gotta be stupid to\n\ndo something like that!\n\nESTELLE\nYour father's absolutely right. We're\nsitting there like idiots\n\ndrinking coffee without a piece of cake!\n\nGEORGE\nWhat is this? The marble rye?\n\nMRS. ROSS\nOh, dear. I forgot to put out that -\nthat bread they brought.\n\nESTELLE\nWe forgot to bring it in.\n\nFRANK\nNo, I brought it in. They never put\nit out.\n\nMRS. ROSS\nWhere is it?\n\nSUSAN\nI don't know. Where'd you put it?\n\nMRS. ROSS\nRight over there.\n\nSUSAN\nWell, it's gone.\n\nGEORGE\nYou stole the bread?\n\nFRANK\nWhat do you mean stole? It's my bread.\nThey didn't eat it. Why should\n\nI leave it there?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause we brought it for them!\n\nFRANK\nApparently, it wasn't good enough for\nthem to serve.\n\nMRS. ROSS\nIs it possible they took it back?\n\nSUSAN\nWho would bring a bread and take it\nback?\n\nMR. ROSS\nThose people, that's who. I think they're\nsick.\n\nESTELLE\nPeople take buses to get that rye.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe they forgot to put it out!\n\nFRANK\nAw, they didn't forget to put it out!\nIt's deliberate! Deliberate, I\n\ntell ya!\n\nJERRY\nHe stole back the rye?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy? Why? 'Cause he's off his rocker!\nThat's why.\n\nJERRY\nSo, do the Ross's know?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. They're all very suspicious.\n\nJERRY\nWhy wouldn't they be? A rye bread doesn't\njust disappear.\n\nGEORGE\nNow, because of that stupid rye bread,\nI gotta keep them all\n\nseparated for the rest of my life.\n\nJERRY\nBad situation.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell you what I'd like to do. I'd\nlike to replace that rye.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean replace it?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, you go out, you get another\nrye. Of course, it would have\n\nto be the same one from Schnitzer's. You put it in the kitchen\n\nsomewhere and you say Ohh! There it is.\n\nJERRY\nWell, there ya go. What's so hard about\nthat?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's so hard about that? How am I\nsupposed to get it in there? I\n\ncan't just walk in with it. I have to get the Rosses out of the\n\napartment!\n\nJERRY\nAll right. All right. Don't panic. Let's\njust think about it. Get the\n\nRoss's out of the apartment. That can't be so hard. Wait a minute.\nWait\n\na second. Wait a second! You know, Kramer's been driving that\nhansom\n\ncab.\n\nGEORGE\nSo?\n\nJERRY\nWell, Kramer'll take them around for\na while.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd it's their anniversary Friday night.\nI could send them for a\n\nhansom cab ride. Y -- you think they'd like that?\n\nJERRY\nAre you kidding? People love it. There's\nsomething about the clip clop,\n\nclip clop. They're nuts for it.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, they go off for the ride, by the\ntime they come back the bread is\n\nthere.\n\nJERRY\nWhat about Susan?\n\nGEORGE\nShe's working late that night. We're\n- were supposed to have dinner\n\nwith everybody at eight o'clock so I'll set up the ride for seven\n\no'clock.\n\nJERRY\nBeautiful!\n\nGEORGE\nYou think Kramer'll do it?\n\nKRAMER\nOf course I'll do it.

I don't have any\n\nroom for it all.\n\nGEORGE\nHold on. Hold on. Wait a minute. How\nam I gonna get the rye bread\n\ninto the apartment?\n\nJERRY\nJust put it under your shirt.\n\nGEORGE\nHave you ever seen a Schnitzer's rye?\nIt - it's huge!\n\nJERRY\nI'll tell ya what, I'll bring it over.\nI'll stop by Schnitzer's, I'll\n\ncome by five after seven right after they leave.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, this is all locking in now. It is\nall locking in! (laughing)\n\nELAINE\nHey. Is that your horse outside?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. That's Rusty.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? He's outside?\n\nKRAMER\nUh-huh.\n\nGEORGE\nAw, come on.

It's not a good thing! It's a bad\nthing! Do you know what this is\n\nlike? To have no control over a relationship? And - and you feel\nsick\n\nto your stomach all the time? Do you know what that's like?\n\nJERRY\nNo, but I've read articles and I must\nsay it, doesn't sound very\n\npleasant.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, one of these days, something\nterrible is gonna happen to you.\n\nIt has to!\n\nJERRY\nNo. I'm gonna be just fine, but as far\nas your situation, you're\n\nseeing him tonight so talk to him about it.\n\nELAINE\nI can't! He's got a big showcase for\nrecord producers at his late\n\nshow tonight. I don't wanna upset him. Aw, what the hell, I'll\nupset\n\nhim.\n\nMR.

Ah, ah ah! Is it you?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, it's me sir. It's been a harrowing\nfew days.

Gotta admit, I never tasted\none of those.\n\nGEORGE\nAnyway, as I was lying in the puddle,\nI think I may have found\n\na way for us to get Bonds and Griffey, and we wouldn't have to\ngive up\n\nthat much.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nWell, don't tell it to me George, tell\nit to the new\n\nAssistant to the General Manager.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't get the job?\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nWell, once you were dead, we couldn't\njust sit on our\n\nhands.

That's kind of the job of\nclothes; to get compliments for us,\nbecause it's very hard to get compliments\nbased on your human qualities.

Look at that!\n\nJerry looks over, but his eye is drawn more towards an attractive\n\nwoman, Christie, who stands looking at the toys.

Dijon.\n\nKramer waves away the squeezy option and shuts the fridge.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, 's no good.\n\nKramer goes back to his sandwich, puts the second slice of bread\non,\n\nand takes a bite. It doesn't meet with his approval. He spits\nout the mouthful he's\n\ntaken onto the plate, and dumps the rest of the sandwich next\nto it.\n\nKRAMER\nNo. That's bush league.\n\nKramer heads toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey. Wha... wait... what, you're\ngonna leave it there?\n\nThat's like half a pound of turkey!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, I can't eat that.

What's with your neck?\n\nELAINE\nStill killing me from having to get\nthat bike off the wall.\n\n(pointedly) By myself.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if it's any consolation, I did\nget her number.\n\nELAINE\n(sitting) Ah, I think I really strained\nit. Ow.\n\nJERRY\nAw, I doubt you strained it. Maybe you\npulled it.\n\nELAINE\nAch, maybe.\n\nJERRY\nDid you twist it? You coulda twisted\nit.\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\nDid you wrench it?

Well, your arterioles have constricted.\n\nKramer walks around behind the seated Elaine, and reaches for\nher neck.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, lean forward, relax.\n\nELAINE\n(worried) What? What?\n\nKRAMER\nEncounter shiatsu.\n\nKramer begins to work at Elaine's neck with his thumbs.\n\nELAINE\nWait a minute. Kramer, you know what\nyou're doing here?\n\nKRAMER\n(continuing to work) Ohh yeah. A wise\nman once taught me the\n\nHealing power of the body's natural pressure points.\n\nELAINE\nAh hah.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Jerry) He sells tee-shirts outside\nthe World Trade Centre.\n\nELAINE\n(seriously worried) Wha...?\n\nKRAMER\nHe's a genius. Here we go...\n\nKramer takes a firm grip of each side of Elaine's head. Elaine\nlooks\n\nReally worried now. She grabs a hold of Jerry's shirt and the\narm of the\n\ncouch, and her feet stamp on the floor.\n\nKRAMER\nFrom pain, will come pleasure.\n\nKramer violently twists Elaine's head to the left. There's a\nloud\n\nCrunching sound, and Elaine cries out in shock. Kramer lets go\nof her head and\n\nsteps away, job done.\n\nKRAMER\nUh? Voila.\n\nELAINE\n(pleasantly surprised) Oh my god!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nElaine rolls her head around, completely comfortable.\n\nELAINE\nWow! That is unbelievable.

Kramer, thank you!\n\nKRAMER\n(closing the door) Yeah, you can send\nthat bike over any time.\n\nELAINE\n(after Kramer) What? (to Jerry) What,\nwhat is he talking about?\n\nJERRY\nI dunno. (realising) Oh, 'cos you said\nyou'd give the bike to\n\nanyone who fixes your neck.\n\nELAINE\nYou really think he wants the bike?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah.\n\nELAINE\nIt took him like ten seconds!\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's the most he's worked in\nthe last four months.\n\n(George's Car)\n\nGeorge and Susan, heading home from the restaurant.

Believe me, that kid's\ngonna be called Soda.\n\nSUSAN\nI can tell you, I would never name my\nchild Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no no no. Course not. I got a great\nname for our kids. A\n\nReal original. You wanna hear what it is? Huh, you ready?\n\nSUSAN\nYeah.\n\nGeorge uses his finger to draw a number 7 in the air, accompanying\nthe\n\nStrokes of his digit with a two-tone whistle.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat is that? Sign language?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, Seven.\n\nSUSAN\nSeven Costanza? You're serious?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy\nor a girl...\n\nSusan scoffs.\n\nGEORGE\n...especially a girl. Or a boy.\n\nSUSAN\nI don't think so.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you don't like the name?\n\nSUSAN\nIt's not a name. It's a number.\n\nGEORGE\nI know. It's Mickey Mantle's number.\nSo not only is it an all\n\nAround beautiful name, it is also a living tribute.\n\nSUSAN\nIt's awful. I hate it!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry) Well, that's the name!\n\nSUSAN\n(also angry) Oh no it is not! No child\nof mine is ever going to\n\nbe named Seven!\n\nGEORGE\n(yelling) Awright, let's just stay calm\nhere! Don't get all\n\ncrazy on me!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry walks from the bathroom, talking to George, who's just\ntold him\n\nabout his contretemps with Susan.\n\nJERRY\nSeven? Yeah, I guess I could see it.\nSeven. Seven periods of\n\nschool, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating,\nand eventually\n\nseven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.\n\nGEORGE\n(adamant) Yes I am. I defy you to come\nup with a better name\n\nthan Seven.\n\nJerry walks toward the kitchen. He sees an item on the counter.\n\nJERRY\nAwright, let's see. How about Mug? (picks\nup the mug) Mug\n\nCostanza, that's original. (he turns and sees another item) Or\nuh, Ketchup?\n\nPretty name for a girl.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, you having a good time there?\n\nJerry is in the kitchen, and opens a cupboard. His eyes run over\nthe\n\narray of good within.\n\nJERRY\nI got fifty right here in the cupboard.\nHow about Bisquik?\n\nPimento. Gherkin. Sauce. Maxwell House.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouts) Awright already!! This is a\nvery key issue with me,\n\nJerry. I had this name for a long time.\n\nJerry comes back into the living room. A thought occurs.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I forgot to call Christie.\n\nGEORGE\nChristie? That's the one you met in\nthe antique store?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, she had this great black and white\ndress, with a scoop\n\nneck. She looked like some kinda superhero.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd you met her in an antique store!\nI don't know how you do\n\nit!\n\nJERRY\n(smug) I'm not engaged.\n\nGeorge gives Jerry a look. Kramer enters. He's carrying a small\n\ngoldfish bowl, a pad and a pencil tied to the bowl by string.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, I got it.\n\nJERRY\nGot what?\n\nKRAMER\n(putting the items on the counter) Got\nthe answer, Jerry.\n\nRefrigerator problem, is solved.\n\nJERRY\nOh, it's no problem. You can take whatever\nyou want.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I will. But now, I'm accountable.\nAlright, I take what I\n\nwant.\n\nKramer takes a cupcake from a box on the counter.\n\nKRAMER\nHere. I write it down. (he writes) \"One\ncupcake.\" And then I\n\nput it in the bowl. (he tears off the sheet, crumples it and\ndrops it into the\n\nbowl) There. Very simple.\n\nJERRY\nSort of a mooching inventory.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. Not mooching. 'Cos at the end\nof the week, you add 'em\n\nall up, and you give me the bill.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, now look I gotta run some errands,\nso look. When\n\nElaine comes by with that bike, you hang onto it for me, alright?\n\nGeorge passes by as he goes to the fridge.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I don't know if you're getting\nthat bike.\n\nKRAMER\nYes I am. We had a verbal contract.\nIf we can't take each other\n\nat our word, all is lost.\n\nGeorge has fetched a Diet Coke from the fridge. He opens it.\nKramer\n\nhears the hiss, and notices George.\n\nKRAMER\n(waving at the bowl) Oh yeah, yeah.\nPut that on my tab.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie have just arrived. They're both wearing long\ncoats,\n\nFastened to the collar.\n\nJERRY\nWell this is it. The food is atrocious,\nbut the busboys are the\n\nbest in the city.\n\nA member of staff approaches.\n\nMAITRE D'\nMay I take your coat, miss?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes, thank you.\n\nThe Maitre d' helps Christie to slip out of her coat, revealing\nthat\n\nshe has on the exact same dress as she was wearing in the antique\nstore. Jerry\n\nlooks bemused, but plasters on a fixed smile as Christie looks\nat him.\n\n(Monks')\n\nJerry and George sit in a booth, discussing the previous night.\nGeorge\n\nFingers his chin thoughtfully.\n\nGEORGE\nThe same outfit?\n\nJERRY\nThe exact same outfit.\n\nGEORGE\nHow many days was it between encounters.\n\nJERRY\nThree.\n\nGEORGE\nThree days. Well, maybe you caught her\non the cusp of a new\n\nwash cycle. You know, she did laundry the day after she met you,\neverything got\n\nclean and she started all over again.\n\nJERRY\nPossibly, but then shouldn't the outfit\nonly reappear again at\n\nthe end of the cycle?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe she moved it up in the rotation.\n\nJERRY\nWhy? It's our first date, she's already\nin reruns?\n\nGEORGE\nVery curious.\n\nJERRY\nIndeed.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, Einstein wore the exact same\noutfit every day.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if she splits the atom, I'll let\nit slide.\n\nGEORGE\n(picking up his coat) Awright, I'm heading\nhome.\n\nJERRY\nHey, did Susan change her mind about\nthe name?\n\nGEORGE\n(standing) Not yet, but she's weakening.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, George, just because your\nlife is destroyed, don't\n\nDestroy someone else's.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's Mickey Mantle, Jerry.

And the same goes\n\nfor this, okay...\n\nJerry holds up an apple, from which has been taken one large\nbite.\n\nJERRY\n...When you pierce the skin of a piece\nof fruit, you've bought\n\nthe whole fruit.

(pointedly) So, how's the neck?\nNice and loose?\n\nELAINE\nLookit, Kramer, you are not getting\nthis bike. I don't even\n\nknow why you ant it. (laughingly) I mean, it's a girl's bike.\n\nKRAMER\n(deadly serious) It's a verbal contract.\nWe had a deal.\n\nELAINE\nNo we didn't. You take these things\ntoo literally. It's like\n\nsaying,\n\nyou're hungry enough to eat a horse.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, my friend Jay Reimenschneider\neats horse all the time. He\n\ngets it from his butcher.\n\nELAINE\nThis is not the point. (emphatic) The\npoint is, you just can't\n\nhave the bike.\n\nKRAMER\nBoy, I am really surprised at you. (opening\nthe door) You are\n\nthe last person I figured would do something like this.

They're stealing\nthe name?! That's my name,\n\nI made it up!\n\nSUSAN\nI can't believe that they're using it.\n\nGEORGE\n(anger) Well now it's not gonna be original!\nIt's gonna lose\n\nall its cachet!\n\nSUSAN\nI dunno how much cachet it had to begin\nwith.\n\nGEORGE\n(rage) Oh, it's got cachet, baby! It's\ngot cachet up the\n\nyin-yang!\n\n(Elaine's Apartment)\n\nElaine is in bed. She begins to move to get up. As she raises\nherself\n\nfrom the mattress, there is a loud crunching sound. A look of\nagony crosses her\n\nface.\n\nELAINE\n(in pain) Oh god! Oh, god. (bitter)\nKramer!\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine walks along the street. Her neck problem means she has\nher head\n\nTipped back so far she can't see directly in front of her. A\nguy coming the\n\nother way gives her a warning.\n\nMAN\nWatch your step.\n\nElaine collides with a litter bin which is outside her field\nof vision.\n\nELAINE\n(pain) Oh, ah. (bitter) Stupid Kramer.\n\nChristie is looking in a shop window, then she spots Elaine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nExcuse me. Elaine?\n\nElaine, handicapped by her neck, cannot see who's speaking.\n\nELAINE\nHuh?\n\nChristie comes over to Elaine. All Elaine can see of her is her\nhead\n\nand neck.\n\nCHRISTIE\nOver here. I thought that was you. You're\nJerry's friend,\n\nright?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah. Uh, Christie?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes. How y'doing?\n\nELAINE\n(bearing up) I'm fine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I gotta run. It was good to see\nyou.\n\nChristie walks away.\n\nELAINE\n(after Christie) Okay, oh, it was good\nto, good to see you.\n\nKramer comes along the street, riding the Schwinn Stingray and\nringing\n\nthe bell. He attracts comments from folk on the street.\n\nVOICE 1\nLookin' good.\n\nVOICE 2\nHey Cosmo, nice wheels.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got that right!\n\nA kid leans out the window of a parked Volvo.\n\nKID\n(scorn) Hey, you're riding a girl's\nbike.\n\nKramer thumbs his nose and continues pedalling.\n\nELAINE\n(shouting) Kramer! Kramer!\n\n(Outside Apartment Building)\n\nGeorge walks up to the door. He pushes the buzzer for a particular\n\napartment.\n\nKEN\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\nHello, Ken. It's George Costanza. I\nthink we need to talk.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry hears a loud knocking from the hallway.\n\nELAINE\n(angry shout) Kramer!\n\nJerry opens the door to reveal Elaine hammering insistently at\nKramer's\n\ndoor.\n\nELAINE\nKramer!!\n\nJERRY\nHey\n\nElaine turns to Jerry and gets a twinge from her neck.\n\nELAINE\nOw! God! Is Kramer back from his little\njoyride yet?\n\nElaine enters Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nHaven't seen him. How's the neck?\n\nELAINE\nHis chiropractic job was a crock. It's\neven worse than it was\n\nbefore.\n\nElaine removes her bag from her back, wincing from the pain as\nshe\n\nmoves.\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I'm surprised. (sarcasm) I would\nthink Kramer would have a\n\nknack for moving pieces of a person's spine around.\n\nELAINE\nHey, you know what, I think I ran into\nthat girl from the\n\nantique store. What's her name, Christie?\n\nJERRY\nYou saw her? What was she wearing?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know. I couldn't see. I couldn't\nlook down because of\n\nmy neck.\n\nJERRY\nDidn't you get a glimpse? An impression?\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you care?\n\nJERRY\nBoth times I've seen her she's worn\nthe same dress.\n\nThere's a ringing from the Schwinn's bell, and Kramer rides it\ninto\n\nJerry's apartment. He rides all around the apartment, round the\ncouch, past the\n\nTV and is heading for the door.\n\nELAINE\nDid you have a nice ride?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, great ride.\n\nELAINE\nOh, that's good. 'Cos it was your last!\n\nElaine slams the door shut before Kramer can leave. Kramer rides\n\nstraight into the door with a clatter. He falls to the ground,\nthen makes his\n\nstumbling way upright again.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat're you talking about?! We had a\ndeal!\n\nELAINE\n(anger) You better give me back that\nbike! (indicating neck)\n\nLook at this! Look! Ow. I couldn't even crawl out of bed this\nmorning.\n\nKRAMER\nBed? You should be sleeping on a wooden\nboard for at least a\n\nweek.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? You never told me that.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's common sense.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, what is he talking about? He's\nbeing ridiculous.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, look. Jerry, you know the whole\nstory, you should\n\nsettle this.\n\nELAINE\nYeah Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm flattered that you would both\nappeal to my wisdom, but\n\nunfortunately, my friendship to each of you precludes my getting\n\ninvolved. What you need is an impartial mediator.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I'd go for that. Would you go\nfor that?\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, I'm down.\n\nJERRY\nCourse, it would have to be someone\nwho hasn't heard the story\n\nbefore. Someone who is unencumbered by any emotional attachment.\nSomeone whose\n\nheart is so dark, it cannot be swayed by pity, compassion, or\nhuman emotion of\n\nany kind.\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer sit on Newman's couch. Elaine with her head\ntilted\n\nback. Newman sits in his chair, his fingertips together, trying\nto give an\n\nImpression of limitless wisdom.\n\nELAINE\nSo, that's the situation.\n\nNEWMAN\nMmm. You present an interesting dilemma.\nEach of you seemingly\n\nhas a legitimate claim to the bicycle, and yet the bicycle can\nhave only one\n\nrightful owner. Quite the conundrum. As a federal employee, I\nbelieve the law is\n\nall we have. (getting worked up) It's all that separates us from\nthe savages\n\nwho don't deserve even the privilege of the daily mail. (angry)\nStuffing parcels\n\ninto mailboxes where they don't belong!!...\n\nKRAMER\nNewman!\n\nNewman catches himself, and comes back to normality.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But, you must promise That you will\nabide by my decision, no\n\nMatter how unjust it may seem to either of you. Do I have your\nword?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yeah.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nAlright, let's begin.\n\nNewman sits back, to begin his contemplation. There is the single\n\n'ting' of a microwave.\n\nNEWMAN\n(excited) Ooh, my cocoa!\n\nNewman leaps to his feet and heads for his kitchen.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Apartment)\n\nCarrie is on the couch, with Ken sitting on the arm. George is\n\nexplaining about Seven.\n\nKEN\nWhy can't we use Seven?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's my name. I made it up. You can't\njust steal it.\n\nCARRIE\nWell, it's not as if Susan's pregnant.\nYou've already postponed\n\nThe wedding. Who knows if you'll ever get married.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, hey hey. Don't worry about me.\nI'm not a waffler. I don't\n\nwaffle!\n\nKEN\nRight, we're both big Mickey Mantle\nfans, and we love the name.\n\nIt's very unusual.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) What happened to Soda?! I\nthought we all agreed on\n\nSoda.\n\nKEN\n(emphatic) Well, we don't care for Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't care for Soda?!\n\nCARRIE\n(worked up) No, no. We don't like Soda\nat all!\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) How d'you not like Soda?!\nIt's bubbly, it's\n\nrefreshing!\n\nCarrie jumps and gives a cry.\n\nCARRIE\nOh!\n\nKEN\nWhat is it?\n\nCARRIE\nI felt something.\n\nKEN\nAre you okay, honey?\n\nCARRIE\nI think I'm going into labour.\n\nGeorge flashes a panicked expression.\n\nKEN\nOh god, oh god. Okay, let's not panic.\nLet's just get to the\n\nhospital...\n\nKen and Carrie rise and head toward the door.\n\nCARRIE\nOkay.\n\nKEN\n...Alright? I got the suitcase packed,\nright here.\n\nKen grabs the suitcase from by the door and they exit, hurriedly.\n\nGeorge trails along behind them, making suggestions.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about Six?\n\nKen gives him a look over his shoulder.\n\nGEORGE\nNine. Thirt... thirteen's no good.\n\nKen has left, George follows out the door.\n\nGEORGE\nFourteen. (shouting after Ken) Fourteen!\n\nGeorge closes the door behind him.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie are having dinner. Christie is eating, while\nJerry\n\nleans back picking at his meal, looking suspicious at the fact\nthat Christie is\n\nwearing the same black and white dress as at their two previous\nmeetings.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAre you okay, Jerry? You seem quiet.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm just a little uh, worn out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nI know exactly what you mean.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm sure you do.\n\nChristie begins to season her food, with salt. Jerry chews\n\nthoughtfully.\n\nJERRY\nWhat in god's name is going on here?\nIs she wearing the\n\nsame thing over and over again? Or does she have a closet full\nof these, like\n\nSuperman? I've got to unlock this mystery.\n\nChristie adds a little pepper to her dish. But after replacing\nthe\n\nshaker, she knocks her glass of red wine over her dress.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(horrified) Oh my god!\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nChristie mops at the spill with her napkin, but there's only\nso much\n\nyou can do.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhh. I can't go to the movies like this.\nDo you mind if we go\n\nback to my apartment, so I can change?\n\nJERRY\nChange? (thoughtful) Yes, I think that's\na super idea.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Car)\n\nKen is driving Carrie to the hospital. Carrie is as worked up\nas you'd\n\nexpect a woman in labor to be. In the back seat, George is making\none last\n\nattempt to save his name.\n\nCARRIE\nAre we almost there?\n\nKEN\nJust keep breathing, okay.\n\nCARRIE\n(deep breaths) Okay, okay.\n\nKEN\nOkay.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, the thing is,\nI kinda promised the widow\n\nMantle that I would name my baby Seven.\n\nAs George speaks, Ken is looking impatient and angry.\n\nKEN\nNow's not the best time, George!\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) It's just that, I know her,\nand boy...\n\nKEN\n(firm) George! She's in labour!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry shout) So am I!\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer still sit on the couch, awaiting Newman's\n\narbitration.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, you've both presented very convincing\narguments. On the\n\none hand, Elaine, your promise was given in haste. But was it\nnot still a promise? Hmm?\n\nKramer looks at Elaine, thinking his arguments have put him one\nup.\n\nNEWMAN\nAnd, Kramer, you did provide a service\nin exchange for\n\ncompensation. But, does the fee, once paid, not entitle the buyer\nto some assurance\n\nOf reliability? Hmm? Huh? Ahh. These were not easy questions\nto answer.\n\nNot for any man...\n\nKramer leans forward to receive the result. Elaine looks as attentive\n\nas she can while only being able to look upwards.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But I have made a decision. (revelatory)\nWe will cut the\n\nbike down the middle, and give half to each of you.\n\nELAINE\n(shout) What?! This is your solution?!\nTo ruin the bike?!\n\nNewman's face drops at her negative reaction. Kramer looks across\nat\n\nthe bike, looking worried.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, fine. Fine. Go ahead. (standing)\nCut the stupid thing\n\nin half.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no. Give it to her. I'd rather\nit belonged to another\n\nthan see it destroyed. Newman, give it to her, I beg you.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, y-yeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nNot so fast, Elaine! Only the bike's\ntrue owner would rather\n\ngive it away than see it come to harm. Kramer, the bike is yours!\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!\n\nKRAMER\nSweet justice. Newman, you are wise.\n\nKramer picks up the bike and climbs aboard.\n\nELAINE\n(frustration) But this isn't fair! Lookit,\nmy neck is still\n\nhurting me,\n\nand now you have the bike?!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, tell it to the judge, honey. I'm\ngoing for a ride.\n\nKramer opens the door and rides clumsily out, ringing the bell\nas he\n\ngoes.\n\n(Christie's Apartment)\n\nChristie leads Jerry into her home.\n\nCHRISTIE\nHere we are.\n\nJERRY\n(looking around) Ah, so this is the\nFortress of Solitude.\n\nChristie puts down her bag, and removes her coat.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I guess I'll go change.\n\nJERRY\nYes, change. By all means, change.\n\nChristie walks away down a hallway. Jerry removes his coat and\nsits\n\ndown. He looks around himself. On the coffee table he notices\na small framed\n\npicture of Christie and some guy. In the picture, she's wearing\nthe same black and\n\nWhite dress. Jerry picks it up and examines it more closely,\nreading a date\n\nwritten on the photo.\n\nJERRY\nAugust seventeen, nineteen-ninety-two.\nThe same dress!\n\nShe never\n\nchanges! Oh my god. (looking around) She's gotta have hundreds\nof these\n\ndresses.\n\nJerry gets up from his seat.\n\nJERRY\nThere must be a secret stash around\nhere somewhere.\n\nJerry opens a closet and begins to look inside. While he's rooting\n\nabout in there, Christie reenters the room, wearing a robe and\nlooking indignant\n\nat discovering Jerry invading her privacy.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhem! Are you looking for something?\n\nJERRY\nWhat're you doing? I thought you were\nchanging.\n\nCHRISTIE\nNo, I, I'm thinking we should just call\nit a night.\n\nJERRY\nNo, no. C'mon, put something else on.\nIt's early, let's go out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nIf it's all the same to you, I think\nI'm just gonna go to\n\nbed.\n\nJerry moves to the couch, where he half lays down.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, I'm kinda tired myself. Maybe\nI'll just sleep here on\n\nThe couch. Then in the morning, you'll get dressed, we'll walk\nout\n\ntogether. Both dressed, different clothes. Well, I'll be in the\nsame clothes. You'll\n\nof course be in different clothes, because it's your apartment.\nBut we'll go\n\ndownstairs, me in my same clothes, you in your different clothes.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(unequivocal) Jerry. I don't think so.\n\nJerry picks up his coat and moves toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nYou wanna throw something on and walk\nme to a cab?\n\nCHRISTIE\n(gesturing) Get out.\n\nJerry walks though the door. He's still talking as Christie closes\nit\n\non him.\n\nJERRY\n(pleading) Tell me what you're wearing\ntomorrow. I'll help you\n\nlay it out on the bed.\n\n(Hospital)\n\nCarrie is in a wheelchair, being wheeled by an orderly. She's\ndoing her\n\nbreathing. Ken hurries alongside, comforting his wife. George\nalso\n\nhustles along the corridor with the group.\n\nKEN\nOkay, breathe, honey. Breathe.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, you're really\nbeing very selfish. It\n\nwould be nice if you would think of someone other than yourself\nevery now and then!\n\nCARRIE\n(shouts) I'm having a baby!!\n\nThe orderly pushes the wheelchair on through the door of the\ndelivery\n\nroom. Ken turns to face George.\n\nKEN\nGeorge, you're not getting Seven! Now\nget outta here!!\n\nKen strides into the delivery room.\n\nGEORGE\n(desperate) Please! I have so little!\n\nGeorge tries to follow, but an orderly blocks his path.\n\nORDERLY\nSorry sir, it's family only.\n\nThe orderly closes the door on George, whose face can be seen\nthrough\n\nThe window.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm family. I'm having sex with the\ncousin!\n\nGeorge thumps his fists against the door in frustration. He's\ncrying as\n\nHe screams.\n\nGEORGE\nSeven!!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is on the phone, while Kramer examines a box of cereal\nin the\n\nkitchen.\n\nJERRY\nHello, Christie? I was wondering if\nwe could get together again?\n\n(listens) Oh really? Well you can't break up with me over the\nphone.\n\nC'mon, you gotta do this in person. It doesn't even have to be\none on one, you can\n\nbring a group of friends. I just wanna see you. Wait, don't hang\nup on me.\n\n(hurriedly) Why d'you wear the same dress all the time? Hello.\n\nDefeated, Jerry hangs up the phone.\n\nKRAMER\n(indicating the cereal) Hey, Jerry,\nif you're gonna be snacking\n\nOn these, you can't expect me to pay for the whole box.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, hobo Joe. I didn't wanna put\na damper on your little\n\nSmorgasbord here, but it's the end of the week, so I added up\nyour tab.\n\nJerry tears a sheet off a writing pad, and presents it to Kramer.\n\nKramer takes a look.\n\nKRAMER\n(does a double take) Yikes.\n\nJERRY\nI know. Pretty steep.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't have this kind of cash.\n\nJERRY\nFew do.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm good for it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well, until this bill is paid...\n\nJerry takes back the tab, then takes the cereal out of Kramer's\nhands.\n\nJERRY\n...the food court is closed.\n\nKRAMER\n(opening the door) Alright. I'll get\nthat money for you in five\n\nminutes. And, don't eat any more.\n\nKramer leaves at a run.\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine is walking along, when she spots something ahead of her.\n\nELAINE\nHey, that's my bike!\n\nAlong the sidewalk comes a happy-looking Newman, pedalling the\nSchwinn\n\nfor all he's worth. He rings the bell.\n\nNEWMAN\nGangway!\n\nELAINE\nThis is my bike!\n\nNewman brakes to a halt in front of Elaine.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh no. No no no no. I bought it from\nKramer. He was hard up for\n\ncash. Fifty bucks! (he laughs) Can you believe it? Of course,\nI had to make\n\nsome minor modifications, you know. Solid tyres, reinforced seatpost,\nheavy duty\n\nshocks. But, baby, this is one sweet ride.\n\nNewman begins to ride away.\n\nELAINE\n(chasing Newman) No, you better gimme\nback that bike. Newman,\n\ngimme...\n\nElaine grabs hold of the trailing end of Newman's scarf.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey!! Help me!\n\nThe show ends with a freeze frame of Newman on the bike, and\na\n\ndetermined Elaine grasping the scarf. There are sounds of a struggle.\n\n(End)\n\n7.13 \"The Seven\"\n\nEPISODE NUMBER\n123\n\nORIGINAL AIR DATE\nFebruary 01, 1996\n\nWRITTEN BY\nAlec Berg & Jeff Schaffer\n\nDIRECTED BY\nAndy Ackerman\n\nGUEST CAST\n\nKen Hudson Campbell (Ken)\n\nShannon Holt (Carrie)\n\nLisa Deanne (Christie)\n\nCharles Emmett (Orderly)\n\nDavid Richards (Maitre d')\n\nMatthew McCurley (Kid)\n\nJosh Abramson (Man #1)\n\nSteve Artiaga (Man #2)\n\nCheryl Hunter (Woman)\n\n(Nightclub)\n\nJerry's standup piece.\n\nJERRY\nI love it when people are complimented\non something they're\n\nwearing and they accept the compliment as if it was about them.\n\"Nice tie.\" \"Well,\n\nthank you. Thank you very much.\" The compliment is for the tie,\nit's not for\n\nyou, but we take it. That's kind of the job of clothes; to get\ncompliments for\n\nus, because it's very hard to get compliments based on your human\n\nqualities. Right? Let's face it, no matter how nice a person\nyou are, nobody's gonna come\n\nSay \"Hey, nice person.\" It's much easier to be a bastard and\njust try and\n\nmatch the colours up.\n\n(Antique Toy Store)\n\nElaine and Jerry enter a store stocked with the toys of yesteryear.\n\nThey look around at the array of classic teddy bears, toy boats,\npuppets, etc.\n\nELAINE\n(awed) Oh, look at this!\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I miss the days they made toys\nthat could kill a kid.\n\nSomething on the wall catches Elaine's eye. It's an old-fashioned\n\ngirl's bicycle, with high handlebars, a pink frame and a basket\non the front.\n\nELAINE\n(excited) Oh, cool! Look at that!\n\nJerry looks over, but his eye is drawn more towards an attractive\n\nwoman, Christie, who stands looking at the toys. She's wearing\na dress of\n\nmid-thigh length, black from the bottom of the ribs down, and\nwhite on the chest\n\nand arms.\n\nJERRY\n(admiring Christie) Yeah, I'm right\nthere with ya.\n\nELAINE\n(excited) That is a Schwinn Stingray!\nAnd it's the girl's\n\nmodel! Oh, I always wanted one of these when I was little.\n\nChristie leaves her examination of the toys on that side of the\nstore,\n\nand walks over to some other items. Jerry watches her as she\ngoes, she notices\n\nand smiles and flirtatious looks are exchanged. Jerry is oblivious\nto Elaine's\n\nvoice.\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you think Jerry? Jerry?\n\nJERRY\n(tearing himself away from Christie)\nHuh?\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you think?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah, be great for your paper route.\n\nELAINE\n(laughs) I love it. I'm getting it.\n\nElaine reaches for the bike, as Jerry turns back to Christie.\n\nELAINE\nCan you help me get it down, Jer? Jerry.\n\nCHRISTIE\nI think your friend needs some help\nover there.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, the only way to really help\nher is to just let her be.\n\nElaine gives up on Jerry assisting her and tries to lift the\nbike off\n\nthe wall on her own. But as she raises it, the weight proves\ntoo much and she\n\nfalls backwards, ending up on her back on the floor with the\nbike pinning her\n\ndown. She struggles to lift it, but can't make much impression,\nso she rings\n\nthe bell on the bike. Jerry finally has his attention drawn away\nfrom Christie.\n\nELAINE\nHey!\n\nElaine makes 'So, are you gonna help me?' gestures.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nGeorge and Susan are having dinner with Ken and Carrie. Carrie\nis\n\nHeavily pregnant. George is eating spaghetti with his usual decorum.\n\nSUSAN\nA little baby girl?\n\nKEN\nDoctor says it could be any day now.\n\nGEORGE\n(through mouthful of food) So, Carrie,\nyou and Susan are\n\ncousins. So your baby daughter is gonna be Susan's second cousin,\nright? So what\n\ndoes that make me?\n\nCARRIE\nDoesn't make you anything.\n\nGEORGE\n(jokingly) Well, so, legally, I could\nmarry your daughter.\n\nGeorge laughs and shovels another load of pasta into his mouth.\nKen and\n\nCarrie look perturbed.\n\nSUSAN\nSo, have you picked out a name yet?\n\nCARRIE\nWell, we've narrowed it down to a few.\nWe like Kimberley.\n\nSUSAN\nAww.\n\nGEORGE\n(negative) Hu-ho, boy.\n\nKEN\nYou don't like Kimberley?\n\nGEORGE\nEch. What else you got?\n\nKEN\nHow about Joan?\n\nGEORGE\nAw c'mon, I'm eating here.\n\nSUSAN\n(warning) George!\n\nCARRIE\nPamela?\n\nGEORGE\nPamela?! Awright, I tell you what. You\nlook like nice people,\n\nI'm gonna help you out. You want a beautiful name? Soda.\n\nKEN\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nSoda. S-O-D-A. Soda.\n\nCARRIE\nI don't know, it sounds a little strange.\n\nGEORGE\nAll names sound strange the first time\nyou hear 'em. What, you\n\nTelling me people loved the name Blanche the first time they\nheard it?\n\nKEN\nYeah, but uh... Soda?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, that's right. It's working.\n\nCARRIE\nWe'll put it on the list.\n\nGEORGE\nI solve problems. That's just what I\ndo.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry sits in front of the TV, while in the kitchen Kramer is\nbuilding\n\nA sandwich of epic proportions. He hums to himself as he piles\nsliced\n\nmeat onto bread. Jerry looks over at him, looking somewhat irritated\nby the way\n\nKramer's demolishing his food stocks.\n\nKRAMER\n(sniffing a slice of meat) Yeah, oh\nboy. Mmm, that's good.\n\nJERRY\nYou're really going to town with that\nturkey there.\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, I got a big appetite.\n\nKramer goes to the fridge and looks inside.\n\nKRAMER\nUhh, Jerry, you got no mustard, huh.\n\nJERRY\nIt's on the door.\n\nKRAMER\n(examining a yellow squeeze bottle)\nWhat, this yellow stuff?\n\nNo, I said mustard, Jerry. Dijon.\n\nKramer waves away the squeezy option and shuts the fridge.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, 's no good.\n\nKramer goes back to his sandwich, puts the second slice of bread\non,\n\nand takes a bite. It doesn't meet with his approval. He spits\nout the mouthful he's\n\ntaken onto the plate, and dumps the rest of the sandwich next\nto it.\n\nKRAMER\nNo. That's bush league.\n\nKramer heads toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey. Wha... wait... what, you're\ngonna leave it there?\n\nThat's like half a pound of turkey!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, I can't eat that. You can't\neat a sandwich without\n\nDijon.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcasm) Yeah, you're right. I really\nshould keep more of your\n\nfavourites on hand.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, hey, hey. I'm getting a vibe here.\nWhat, are you unhappy\n\nwith our arrangement?\n\nJERRY\nWhat arrangement?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I was under the impression that\nI could take anything I\n\nWanted from your fridge, and you could take whatever you want\nfrom mine.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcasm) Yeah, well, lemme know when\nyou get something in there\n\nand I will.\n\nElaine enters. She has her head leaning over to the left, and\nshe's\n\nMoving carefully, like it's giving her pain.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey. What's with your neck?\n\nELAINE\nStill killing me from having to get\nthat bike off the wall.\n\n(pointedly) By myself.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if it's any consolation, I did\nget her number.\n\nELAINE\n(sitting) Ah, I think I really strained\nit. Ow.\n\nJERRY\nAw, I doubt you strained it. Maybe you\npulled it.\n\nELAINE\nAch, maybe.\n\nJERRY\nDid you twist it? You coulda twisted\nit.\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\nDid you wrench it? Did you jam it? Maybe\nyou squeezed it. Turned\n\nit...\n\nELAINE\n(patience exhausted) You know what,\nwhy don't you just shut the\n\nhell up?\n\nJERRY\nAwright.\n\nELAINE\nGod. Man, this is killing me. Right\nnow, I would give that bike\n\nto the first person who could make this pain go away.\n\nKRAMER\nAw, you really hurting, huh?\n\nELAINE\nOh, Kramer, it's just awful.\n\nKRAMER\nUh hmm. Well, your arterioles have constricted.\n\nKramer walks around behind the seated Elaine, and reaches for\nher neck.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, lean forward, relax.\n\nELAINE\n(worried) What? What?\n\nKRAMER\nEncounter shiatsu.\n\nKramer begins to work at Elaine's neck with his thumbs.\n\nELAINE\nWait a minute. Kramer, you know what\nyou're doing here?\n\nKRAMER\n(continuing to work) Ohh yeah. A wise\nman once taught me the\n\nHealing power of the body's natural pressure points.\n\nELAINE\nAh hah.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Jerry) He sells tee-shirts outside\nthe World Trade Centre.\n\nELAINE\n(seriously worried) Wha...?\n\nKRAMER\nHe's a genius. Here we go...\n\nKramer takes a firm grip of each side of Elaine's head. Elaine\nlooks\n\nReally worried now. She grabs a hold of Jerry's shirt and the\narm of the\n\ncouch, and her feet stamp on the floor.\n\nKRAMER\nFrom pain, will come pleasure.\n\nKramer violently twists Elaine's head to the left. There's a\nloud\n\nCrunching sound, and Elaine cries out in shock. Kramer lets go\nof her head and\n\nsteps away, job done.\n\nKRAMER\nUh? Voila.\n\nELAINE\n(pleasantly surprised) Oh my god!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nElaine rolls her head around, completely comfortable.\n\nELAINE\nWow! That is unbelievable. The pain\nis totally gone!\n\nJERRY\nWhat's even more amazing is his formal\ntraining is in\n\npaediatrics.\n\nKRAMER\nAwright, my work is done here.\n\nKramer heads for the door.\n\nELAINE\n(big smile) Oh man! Kramer, thank you!\n\nKRAMER\n(closing the door) Yeah, you can send\nthat bike over any time.\n\nELAINE\n(after Kramer) What? (to Jerry) What,\nwhat is he talking about?\n\nJERRY\nI dunno. (realising) Oh, 'cos you said\nyou'd give the bike to\n\nanyone who fixes your neck.\n\nELAINE\nYou really think he wants the bike?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah.\n\nELAINE\nIt took him like ten seconds!\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's the most he's worked in\nthe last four months.\n\n(George's Car)\n\nGeorge and Susan, heading home from the restaurant. George is\nhappy,\n\nsmiling and whistling.\n\nGEORGE\nI think they really went for that Soda.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat, are you crazy? They hated it.\nThey were just humouring\n\nyou.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, alright. Believe me, that kid's\ngonna be called Soda.\n\nSUSAN\nI can tell you, I would never name my\nchild Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no no no. Course not. I got a great\nname for our kids. A\n\nReal original. You wanna hear what it is? Huh, you ready?\n\nSUSAN\nYeah.\n\nGeorge uses his finger to draw a number 7 in the air, accompanying\nthe\n\nStrokes of his digit with a two-tone whistle.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat is that? Sign language?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, Seven.\n\nSUSAN\nSeven Costanza? You're serious?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy\nor a girl...\n\nSusan scoffs.\n\nGEORGE\n...especially a girl. Or a boy.\n\nSUSAN\nI don't think so.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you don't like the name?\n\nSUSAN\nIt's not a name. It's a number.\n\nGEORGE\nI know. It's Mickey Mantle's number.\nSo not only is it an all\n\nAround beautiful name, it is also a living tribute.\n\nSUSAN\nIt's awful. I hate it!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry) Well, that's the name!\n\nSUSAN\n(also angry) Oh no it is not! No child\nof mine is ever going to\n\nbe named Seven!\n\nGEORGE\n(yelling) Awright, let's just stay calm\nhere! Don't get all\n\ncrazy on me!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry walks from the bathroom, talking to George, who's just\ntold him\n\nabout his contretemps with Susan.\n\nJERRY\nSeven? Yeah, I guess I could see it.\nSeven. Seven periods of\n\nschool, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating,\nand eventually\n\nseven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.\n\nGEORGE\n(adamant) Yes I am. I defy you to come\nup with a better name\n\nthan Seven.\n\nJerry walks toward the kitchen. He sees an item on the counter.\n\nJERRY\nAwright, let's see. How about Mug? (picks\nup the mug) Mug\n\nCostanza, that's original. (he turns and sees another item) Or\nuh, Ketchup?\n\nPretty name for a girl.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, you having a good time there?\n\nJerry is in the kitchen, and opens a cupboard. His eyes run over\nthe\n\narray of good within.\n\nJERRY\nI got fifty right here in the cupboard.\nHow about Bisquik?\n\nPimento. Gherkin. Sauce. Maxwell House.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouts) Awright already!! This is a\nvery key issue with me,\n\nJerry. I had this name for a long time.\n\nJerry comes back into the living room. A thought occurs.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I forgot to call Christie.\n\nGEORGE\nChristie? That's the one you met in\nthe antique store?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, she had this great black and white\ndress, with a scoop\n\nneck. She looked like some kinda superhero.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd you met her in an antique store!\nI don't know how you do\n\nit!\n\nJERRY\n(smug) I'm not engaged.\n\nGeorge gives Jerry a look. Kramer enters. He's carrying a small\n\ngoldfish bowl, a pad and a pencil tied to the bowl by string.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, I got it.\n\nJERRY\nGot what?\n\nKRAMER\n(putting the items on the counter) Got\nthe answer, Jerry.\n\nRefrigerator problem, is solved.\n\nJERRY\nOh, it's no problem. You can take whatever\nyou want.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I will. But now, I'm accountable.\nAlright, I take what I\n\nwant.\n\nKramer takes a cupcake from a box on the counter.\n\nKRAMER\nHere. I write it down. (he writes) \"One\ncupcake.\" And then I\n\nput it in the bowl. (he tears off the sheet, crumples it and\ndrops it into the\n\nbowl) There. Very simple.\n\nJERRY\nSort of a mooching inventory.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. Not mooching. 'Cos at the end\nof the week, you add 'em\n\nall up, and you give me the bill.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, now look I gotta run some errands,\nso look. When\n\nElaine comes by with that bike, you hang onto it for me, alright?\n\nGeorge passes by as he goes to the fridge.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I don't know if you're getting\nthat bike.\n\nKRAMER\nYes I am. We had a verbal contract.\nIf we can't take each other\n\nat our word, all is lost.\n\nGeorge has fetched a Diet Coke from the fridge. He opens it.\nKramer\n\nhears the hiss, and notices George.\n\nKRAMER\n(waving at the bowl) Oh yeah, yeah.\nPut that on my tab.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie have just arrived. They're both wearing long\ncoats,\n\nFastened to the collar.\n\nJERRY\nWell this is it. The food is atrocious,\nbut the busboys are the\n\nbest in the city.\n\nA member of staff approaches.\n\nMAITRE D'\nMay I take your coat, miss?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes, thank you.\n\nThe Maitre d' helps Christie to slip out of her coat, revealing\nthat\n\nshe has on the exact same dress as she was wearing in the antique\nstore. Jerry\n\nlooks bemused, but plasters on a fixed smile as Christie looks\nat him.\n\n(Monks')\n\nJerry and George sit in a booth, discussing the previous night.\nGeorge\n\nFingers his chin thoughtfully.\n\nGEORGE\nThe same outfit?\n\nJERRY\nThe exact same outfit.\n\nGEORGE\nHow many days was it between encounters.\n\nJERRY\nThree.\n\nGEORGE\nThree days. Well, maybe you caught her\non the cusp of a new\n\nwash cycle. You know, she did laundry the day after she met you,\neverything got\n\nclean and she started all over again.\n\nJERRY\nPossibly, but then shouldn't the outfit\nonly reappear again at\n\nthe end of the cycle?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe she moved it up in the rotation.\n\nJERRY\nWhy? It's our first date, she's already\nin reruns?\n\nGEORGE\nVery curious.\n\nJERRY\nIndeed.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, Einstein wore the exact same\noutfit every day.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if she splits the atom, I'll let\nit slide.\n\nGEORGE\n(picking up his coat) Awright, I'm heading\nhome.\n\nJERRY\nHey, did Susan change her mind about\nthe name?\n\nGEORGE\n(standing) Not yet, but she's weakening.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, George, just because your\nlife is destroyed, don't\n\nDestroy someone else's.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's Mickey Mantle, Jerry. My idol.\n\nJERRY\nHow about 'Mickey'?\n\nGEORGE\n'Mickey'? (incredulous) 'Mickey'!\n\nGeorge walks away, half-laughing at Jerry's ludicrous suggestion.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is in the fridge. Kramer enters with a slide of the feet,\nand a\n\ncigar in his mouth.\n\nKRAMER\nHey buddy.\n\nJERRY\n(holding up a can) Hey, is this your\nhalf a can of soda in the\n\nfridge?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, that's yours. My half is gone.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I put my half a can here on the\ntab. Why, what's your\n\nbeef?\n\nJERRY\nYou cannot buy half a can of soda.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, why not.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I don't wanna get into the whole\nphysics of carbonation\n\nwith you here, but you know the sound a can makes when you open\nit?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nThat is the sound of you buying a whole\ncan. And the same goes\n\nfor this, okay...\n\nJerry holds up an apple, from which has been taken one large\nbite.\n\nJERRY\n...When you pierce the skin of a piece\nof fruit, you've bought\n\nthe whole fruit. Not a third of an apple, not a half of a banana...\n\nJerry hold up a half banana.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright.\n\nJERRY\n...You bite it, you bought it.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, alright. I'll make the necessary\nadjustments, alright.\n\nJERRY\nThank you.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. (pointedly) So, how's the neck?\nNice and loose?\n\nELAINE\nLookit, Kramer, you are not getting\nthis bike. I don't even\n\nknow why you ant it. (laughingly) I mean, it's a girl's bike.\n\nKRAMER\n(deadly serious) It's a verbal contract.\nWe had a deal.\n\nELAINE\nNo we didn't. You take these things\ntoo literally. It's like\n\nsaying,\n\nyou're hungry enough to eat a horse.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, my friend Jay Reimenschneider\neats horse all the time. He\n\ngets it from his butcher.\n\nELAINE\nThis is not the point. (emphatic) The\npoint is, you just can't\n\nhave the bike.\n\nKRAMER\nBoy, I am really surprised at you. (opening\nthe door) You are\n\nthe last person I figured would do something like this. I mean,\nGeorge, yeah, I\n\ncan see that. Even Jerry. But not you, Elaine...\n\nKramer holds one hand up above his head.\n\nKRAMER\nI always put you up here...\n\nKramer holds his other hand at about knee height.\n\nKRAMER\n...They're over here. Now you're...\naww-whawww.\n\nKramer brings his first hand down to the level of the second.\nHe\n\nleaves, closing the door with a bang. Elaine sits, fighting with\nher conscience. There\n\nis a brief pause, then the door opens again and Kramer pokes\nin his head,\n\nexpectantly.\n\nELAINE\n(grudging) Alright.\n\nKRAMER\n(points) Digidi.\n\nKramer leaves and closes the door again.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nGeorge and Susan are having dinner.\n\nGEORGE\nAw c'mon. It's a fantastic name. It's\na real original, nobody\n\nelse is gonna have it and I absolutely love it.\n\nSUSAN\nWell, I dunno how original it's gonna\nbe any more.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nSUSAN\nWell I was telling Carrie about our\nargument, and when I told\n\nthem the name, they just loved it.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, what're you saying?\n\nSUSAN\nThey're gonna name their baby Seven.\n\nGEORGE\n(disbelief) What?! They're stealing\nthe name?! That's my name,\n\nI made it up!\n\nSUSAN\nI can't believe that they're using it.\n\nGEORGE\n(anger) Well now it's not gonna be original!\nIt's gonna lose\n\nall its cachet!\n\nSUSAN\nI dunno how much cachet it had to begin\nwith.\n\nGEORGE\n(rage) Oh, it's got cachet, baby! It's\ngot cachet up the\n\nyin-yang!\n\n(Elaine's Apartment)\n\nElaine is in bed. She begins to move to get up. As she raises\nherself\n\nfrom the mattress, there is a loud crunching sound. A look of\nagony crosses her\n\nface.\n\nELAINE\n(in pain) Oh god! Oh, god. (bitter)\nKramer!\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine walks along the street. Her neck problem means she has\nher head\n\nTipped back so far she can't see directly in front of her. A\nguy coming the\n\nother way gives her a warning.\n\nMAN\nWatch your step.\n\nElaine collides with a litter bin which is outside her field\nof vision.\n\nELAINE\n(pain) Oh, ah. (bitter) Stupid Kramer.\n\nChristie is looking in a shop window, then she spots Elaine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nExcuse me. Elaine?\n\nElaine, handicapped by her neck, cannot see who's speaking.\n\nELAINE\nHuh?\n\nChristie comes over to Elaine. All Elaine can see of her is her\nhead\n\nand neck.\n\nCHRISTIE\nOver here. I thought that was you. You're\nJerry's friend,\n\nright?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah. Uh, Christie?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes. How y'doing?\n\nELAINE\n(bearing up) I'm fine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I gotta run. It was good to see\nyou.\n\nChristie walks away.\n\nELAINE\n(after Christie) Okay, oh, it was good\nto, good to see you.\n\nKramer comes along the street, riding the Schwinn Stingray and\nringing\n\nthe bell. He attracts comments from folk on the street.\n\nVOICE 1\nLookin' good.\n\nVOICE 2\nHey Cosmo, nice wheels.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got that right!\n\nA kid leans out the window of a parked Volvo.\n\nKID\n(scorn) Hey, you're riding a girl's\nbike.\n\nKramer thumbs his nose and continues pedalling.\n\nELAINE\n(shouting) Kramer! Kramer!\n\n(Outside Apartment Building)\n\nGeorge walks up to the door. He pushes the buzzer for a particular\n\napartment.\n\nKEN\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\nHello, Ken. It's George Costanza. I\nthink we need to talk.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry hears a loud knocking from the hallway.\n\nELAINE\n(angry shout) Kramer!\n\nJerry opens the door to reveal Elaine hammering insistently at\nKramer's\n\ndoor.\n\nELAINE\nKramer!!\n\nJERRY\nHey\n\nElaine turns to Jerry and gets a twinge from her neck.\n\nELAINE\nOw! God! Is Kramer back from his little\njoyride yet?\n\nElaine enters Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nHaven't seen him. How's the neck?\n\nELAINE\nHis chiropractic job was a crock. It's\neven worse than it was\n\nbefore.\n\nElaine removes her bag from her back, wincing from the pain as\nshe\n\nmoves.\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I'm surprised. (sarcasm) I would\nthink Kramer would have a\n\nknack for moving pieces of a person's spine around.\n\nELAINE\nHey, you know what, I think I ran into\nthat girl from the\n\nantique store. What's her name, Christie?\n\nJERRY\nYou saw her? What was she wearing?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know. I couldn't see. I couldn't\nlook down because of\n\nmy neck.\n\nJERRY\nDidn't you get a glimpse? An impression?\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you care?\n\nJERRY\nBoth times I've seen her she's worn\nthe same dress.\n\nThere's a ringing from the Schwinn's bell, and Kramer rides it\ninto\n\nJerry's apartment. He rides all around the apartment, round the\ncouch, past the\n\nTV and is heading for the door.\n\nELAINE\nDid you have a nice ride?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, great ride.\n\nELAINE\nOh, that's good. 'Cos it was your last!\n\nElaine slams the door shut before Kramer can leave. Kramer rides\n\nstraight into the door with a clatter. He falls to the ground,\nthen makes his\n\nstumbling way upright again.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat're you talking about?! We had a\ndeal!\n\nELAINE\n(anger) You better give me back that\nbike! (indicating neck)\n\nLook at this! Look! Ow. I couldn't even crawl out of bed this\nmorning.\n\nKRAMER\nBed? You should be sleeping on a wooden\nboard for at least a\n\nweek.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? You never told me that.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's common sense.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, what is he talking about? He's\nbeing ridiculous.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, look. Jerry, you know the whole\nstory, you should\n\nsettle this.\n\nELAINE\nYeah Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm flattered that you would both\nappeal to my wisdom, but\n\nunfortunately, my friendship to each of you precludes my getting\n\ninvolved. What you need is an impartial mediator.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I'd go for that. Would you go\nfor that?\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, I'm down.\n\nJERRY\nCourse, it would have to be someone\nwho hasn't heard the story\n\nbefore. Someone who is unencumbered by any emotional attachment.\nSomeone whose\n\nheart is so dark, it cannot be swayed by pity, compassion, or\nhuman emotion of\n\nany kind.\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer sit on Newman's couch. Elaine with her head\ntilted\n\nback. Newman sits in his chair, his fingertips together, trying\nto give an\n\nImpression of limitless wisdom.\n\nELAINE\nSo, that's the situation.\n\nNEWMAN\nMmm. You present an interesting dilemma.\nEach of you seemingly\n\nhas a legitimate claim to the bicycle, and yet the bicycle can\nhave only one\n\nrightful owner. Quite the conundrum. As a federal employee, I\nbelieve the law is\n\nall we have. (getting worked up) It's all that separates us from\nthe savages\n\nwho don't deserve even the privilege of the daily mail. (angry)\nStuffing parcels\n\ninto mailboxes where they don't belong!!...\n\nKRAMER\nNewman!\n\nNewman catches himself, and comes back to normality.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But, you must promise That you will\nabide by my decision, no\n\nMatter how unjust it may seem to either of you. Do I have your\nword?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yeah.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nAlright, let's begin.\n\nNewman sits back, to begin his contemplation. There is the single\n\n'ting' of a microwave.\n\nNEWMAN\n(excited) Ooh, my cocoa!\n\nNewman leaps to his feet and heads for his kitchen.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Apartment)\n\nCarrie is on the couch, with Ken sitting on the arm. George is\n\nexplaining about Seven.\n\nKEN\nWhy can't we use Seven?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's my name. I made it up. You can't\njust steal it.\n\nCARRIE\nWell, it's not as if Susan's pregnant.\nYou've already postponed\n\nThe wedding. Who knows if you'll ever get married.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, hey hey. Don't worry about me.\nI'm not a waffler. I don't\n\nwaffle!\n\nKEN\nRight, we're both big Mickey Mantle\nfans, and we love the name.\n\nIt's very unusual.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) What happened to Soda?! I\nthought we all agreed on\n\nSoda.\n\nKEN\n(emphatic) Well, we don't care for Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't care for Soda?!\n\nCARRIE\n(worked up) No, no. We don't like Soda\nat all!\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) How d'you not like Soda?!\nIt's bubbly, it's\n\nrefreshing!\n\nCarrie jumps and gives a cry.\n\nCARRIE\nOh!\n\nKEN\nWhat is it?\n\nCARRIE\nI felt something.\n\nKEN\nAre you okay, honey?\n\nCARRIE\nI think I'm going into labour.\n\nGeorge flashes a panicked expression.\n\nKEN\nOh god, oh god. Okay, let's not panic.\nLet's just get to the\n\nhospital...\n\nKen and Carrie rise and head toward the door.\n\nCARRIE\nOkay.\n\nKEN\n...Alright? I got the suitcase packed,\nright here.\n\nKen grabs the suitcase from by the door and they exit, hurriedly.\n\nGeorge trails along behind them, making suggestions.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about Six?\n\nKen gives him a look over his shoulder.\n\nGEORGE\nNine. Thirt... thirteen's no good.\n\nKen has left, George follows out the door.\n\nGEORGE\nFourteen. (shouting after Ken) Fourteen!\n\nGeorge closes the door behind him.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie are having dinner. Christie is eating, while\nJerry\n\nleans back picking at his meal, looking suspicious at the fact\nthat Christie is\n\nwearing the same black and white dress as at their two previous\nmeetings.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAre you okay, Jerry? You seem quiet.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm just a little uh, worn out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nI know exactly what you mean.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm sure you do.\n\nChristie begins to season her food, with salt. Jerry chews\n\nthoughtfully.\n\nJERRY\nWhat in god's name is going on here?\nIs she wearing the\n\nsame thing over and over again? Or does she have a closet full\nof these, like\n\nSuperman? I've got to unlock this mystery.\n\nChristie adds a little pepper to her dish. But after replacing\nthe\n\nshaker, she knocks her glass of red wine over her dress.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(horrified) Oh my god!\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nChristie mops at the spill with her napkin, but there's only\nso much\n\nyou can do.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhh. I can't go to the movies like this.\nDo you mind if we go\n\nback to my apartment, so I can change?\n\nJERRY\nChange? (thoughtful) Yes, I think that's\na super idea.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Car)\n\nKen is driving Carrie to the hospital. Carrie is as worked up\nas you'd\n\nexpect a woman in labor to be. In the back seat, George is making\none last\n\nattempt to save his name.\n\nCARRIE\nAre we almost there?\n\nKEN\nJust keep breathing, okay.\n\nCARRIE\n(deep breaths) Okay, okay.\n\nKEN\nOkay.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, the thing is,\nI kinda promised the widow\n\nMantle that I would name my baby Seven.\n\nAs George speaks, Ken is looking impatient and angry.\n\nKEN\nNow's not the best time, George!\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) It's just that, I know her,\nand boy...\n\nKEN\n(firm) George! She's in labour!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry shout) So am I!\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer still sit on the couch, awaiting Newman's\n\narbitration.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, you've both presented very convincing\narguments. On the\n\none hand, Elaine, your promise was given in haste. But was it\nnot still a promise? Hmm?\n\nKramer looks at Elaine, thinking his arguments have put him one\nup.\n\nNEWMAN\nAnd, Kramer, you did provide a service\nin exchange for\n\ncompensation. But, does the fee, once paid, not entitle the buyer\nto some assurance\n\nOf reliability? Hmm? Huh? Ahh. These were not easy questions\nto answer.\n\nNot for any man...\n\nKramer leans forward to receive the result. Elaine looks as attentive\n\nas she can while only being able to look upwards.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But I have made a decision. (revelatory)\nWe will cut the\n\nbike down the middle, and give half to each of you.\n\nELAINE\n(shout) What?! This is your solution?!\nTo ruin the bike?!\n\nNewman's face drops at her negative reaction. Kramer looks across\nat\n\nthe bike, looking worried.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, fine. Fine. Go ahead. (standing)\nCut the stupid thing\n\nin half.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no. Give it to her. I'd rather\nit belonged to another\n\nthan see it destroyed. Newman, give it to her, I beg you.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, y-yeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nNot so fast, Elaine! Only the bike's\ntrue owner would rather\n\ngive it away than see it come to harm. Kramer, the bike is yours!\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!\n\nKRAMER\nSweet justice. Newman, you are wise.\n\nKramer picks up the bike and climbs aboard.\n\nELAINE\n(frustration) But this isn't fair! Lookit,\nmy neck is still\n\nhurting me,\n\nand now you have the bike?!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, tell it to the judge, honey. I'm\ngoing for a ride.\n\nKramer opens the door and rides clumsily out, ringing the bell\nas he\n\ngoes.\n\n(Christie's Apartment)\n\nChristie leads Jerry into her home.\n\nCHRISTIE\nHere we are.\n\nJERRY\n(looking around) Ah, so this is the\nFortress of Solitude.\n\nChristie puts down her bag, and removes her coat.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I guess I'll go change.\n\nJERRY\nYes, change. By all means, change.\n\nChristie walks away down a hallway. Jerry removes his coat and\nsits\n\ndown. He looks around himself. On the coffee table he notices\na small framed\n\npicture of Christie and some guy. In the picture, she's wearing\nthe same black and\n\nWhite dress. Jerry picks it up and examines it more closely,\nreading a date\n\nwritten on the photo.\n\nJERRY\nAugust seventeen, nineteen-ninety-two.\nThe same dress!\n\nShe never\n\nchanges! Oh my god. (looking around) She's gotta have hundreds\nof these\n\ndresses.\n\nJerry gets up from his seat.\n\nJERRY\nThere must be a secret stash around\nhere somewhere.\n\nJerry opens a closet and begins to look inside. While he's rooting\n\nabout in there, Christie reenters the room, wearing a robe and\nlooking indignant\n\nat discovering Jerry invading her privacy.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhem! Are you looking for something?\n\nJERRY\nWhat're you doing? I thought you were\nchanging.\n\nCHRISTIE\nNo, I, I'm thinking we should just call\nit a night.\n\nJERRY\nNo, no. C'mon, put something else on.\nIt's early, let's go out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nIf it's all the same to you, I think\nI'm just gonna go to\n\nbed.\n\nJerry moves to the couch, where he half lays down.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, I'm kinda tired myself. Maybe\nI'll just sleep here on\n\nThe couch. Then in the morning, you'll get dressed, we'll walk\nout\n\ntogether. Both dressed, different clothes. Well, I'll be in the\nsame clothes. You'll\n\nof course be in different clothes, because it's your apartment.\nBut we'll go\n\ndownstairs, me in my same clothes, you in your different clothes.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(unequivocal) Jerry. I don't think so.\n\nJerry picks up his coat and moves toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nYou wanna throw something on and walk\nme to a cab?\n\nCHRISTIE\n(gesturing) Get out.\n\nJerry walks though the door. He's still talking as Christie closes\nit\n\non him.\n\nJERRY\n(pleading) Tell me what you're wearing\ntomorrow. I'll help you\n\nlay it out on the bed.\n\n(Hospital)\n\nCarrie is in a wheelchair, being wheeled by an orderly. She's\ndoing her\n\nbreathing. Ken hurries alongside, comforting his wife. George\nalso\n\nhustles along the corridor with the group.\n\nKEN\nOkay, breathe, honey. Breathe.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, you're really\nbeing very selfish. It\n\nwould be nice if you would think of someone other than yourself\nevery now and then!\n\nCARRIE\n(shouts) I'm having a baby!!\n\nThe orderly pushes the wheelchair on through the door of the\ndelivery\n\nroom. Ken turns to face George.\n\nKEN\nGeorge, you're not getting Seven! Now\nget outta here!!\n\nKen strides into the delivery room.\n\nGEORGE\n(desperate) Please! I have so little!\n\nGeorge tries to follow, but an orderly blocks his path.\n\nORDERLY\nSorry sir, it's family only.\n\nThe orderly closes the door on George, whose face can be seen\nthrough\n\nThe window.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm family. I'm having sex with the\ncousin!\n\nGeorge thumps his fists against the door in frustration. He's\ncrying as\n\nHe screams.\n\nGEORGE\nSeven!!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is on the phone, while Kramer examines a box of cereal\nin the\n\nkitchen.\n\nJERRY\nHello, Christie? I was wondering if\nwe could get together again?\n\n(listens) Oh really? Well you can't break up with me over the\nphone.\n\nC'mon, you gotta do this in person. It doesn't even have to be\none on one, you can\n\nbring a group of friends. I just wanna see you. Wait, don't hang\nup on me.\n\n(hurriedly) Why d'you wear the same dress all the time? Hello.\n\nDefeated, Jerry hangs up the phone.\n\nKRAMER\n(indicating the cereal) Hey, Jerry,\nif you're gonna be snacking\n\nOn these, you can't expect me to pay for the whole box.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, hobo Joe. I didn't wanna put\na damper on your little\n\nSmorgasbord here, but it's the end of the week, so I added up\nyour tab.\n\nJerry tears a sheet off a writing pad, and presents it to Kramer.\n\nKramer takes a look.\n\nKRAMER\n(does a double take) Yikes.\n\nJERRY\nI know. Pretty steep.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't have this kind of cash.\n\nJERRY\nFew do.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm good for it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well, until this bill is paid...\n\nJerry takes back the tab, then takes the cereal out of Kramer's\nhands.\n\nJERRY\n...the food court is closed.\n\nKRAMER\n(opening the door) Alright. I'll get\nthat money for you in five\n\nminutes. And, don't eat any more.\n\nKramer leaves at a run.\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine is walking along, when she spots something ahead of her.\n\nELAINE\nHey, that's my bike!\n\nAlong the sidewalk comes a happy-looking Newman, pedalling the\nSchwinn\n\nfor all he's worth. He rings the bell.\n\nNEWMAN\nGangway!\n\nELAINE\nThis is my bike!\n\nNewman brakes to a halt in front of Elaine.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh no. No no no no. I bought it from\nKramer. He was hard up for\n\ncash. Fifty bucks! (he laughs) Can you believe it? Of course,\nI had to make\n\nsome minor modifications, you know. Solid tyres, reinforced seatpost,\nheavy duty\n\nshocks. But, baby, this is one sweet ride.\n\nNewman begins to ride away.\n\nELAINE\n(chasing Newman) No, you better gimme\nback that bike. Newman,\n\ngimme...\n\nElaine grabs hold of the trailing end of Newman's scarf.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey!! Help me!\n\nThe show ends with a freeze frame of Newman on the bike, and\na\n\ndetermined Elaine grasping the scarf. There are sounds of a struggle.\n\n(End)\n\n7.13 \"The Seven\"\n\nEPISODE NUMBER\n123\n\nORIGINAL AIR DATE\nFebruary 01, 1996\n\nWRITTEN BY\nAlec Berg & Jeff Schaffer\n\nDIRECTED BY\nAndy Ackerman\n\nGUEST CAST\n\nKen Hudson Campbell (Ken)\n\nShannon Holt (Carrie)\n\nLisa Deanne (Christie)\n\nCharles Emmett (Orderly)\n\nDavid Richards (Maitre d')\n\nMatthew McCurley (Kid)\n\nJosh Abramson (Man #1)\n\nSteve Artiaga (Man #2)\n\nCheryl Hunter (Woman)\n\n(Nightclub)\n\nJerry's standup piece.\n\nJERRY\nI love it when people are complimented\non something they're\n\nwearing and they accept the compliment as if it was about them.\n\"Nice tie.\" \"Well,\n\nthank you. Thank you very much.\" The compliment is for the tie,\nit's not for\n\nyou, but we take it. That's kind of the job of clothes; to get\ncompliments for\n\nus, because it's very hard to get compliments based on your human\n\nqualities. Right? Let's face it, no matter how nice a person\nyou are, nobody's gonna come\n\nSay \"Hey, nice person.\" It's much easier to be a bastard and\njust try and\n\nmatch the colours up.\n\n(Antique Toy Store)\n\nElaine and Jerry enter a store stocked with the toys of yesteryear.\n\nThey look around at the array of classic teddy bears, toy boats,\npuppets, etc.\n\nELAINE\n(awed) Oh, look at this!\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I miss the days they made toys\nthat could kill a kid.\n\nSomething on the wall catches Elaine's eye. It's an old-fashioned\n\ngirl's bicycle, with high handlebars, a pink frame and a basket\non the front.\n\nELAINE\n(excited) Oh, cool! Look at that!\n\nJerry looks over, but his eye is drawn more towards an attractive\n\nwoman, Christie, who stands looking at the toys. She's wearing\na dress of\n\nmid-thigh length, black from the bottom of the ribs down, and\nwhite on the chest\n\nand arms.\n\nJERRY\n(admiring Christie) Yeah, I'm right\nthere with ya.\n\nELAINE\n(excited) That is a Schwinn Stingray!\nAnd it's the girl's\n\nmodel! Oh, I always wanted one of these when I was little.\n\nChristie leaves her examination of the toys on that side of the\nstore,\n\nand walks over to some other items. Jerry watches her as she\ngoes, she notices\n\nand smiles and flirtatious looks are exchanged. Jerry is oblivious\nto Elaine's\n\nvoice.\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you think Jerry? Jerry?\n\nJERRY\n(tearing himself away from Christie)\nHuh?\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you think?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah, be great for your paper route.\n\nELAINE\n(laughs) I love it. I'm getting it.\n\nElaine reaches for the bike, as Jerry turns back to Christie.\n\nELAINE\nCan you help me get it down, Jer? Jerry.\n\nCHRISTIE\nI think your friend needs some help\nover there.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, the only way to really help\nher is to just let her be.\n\nElaine gives up on Jerry assisting her and tries to lift the\nbike off\n\nthe wall on her own. But as she raises it, the weight proves\ntoo much and she\n\nfalls backwards, ending up on her back on the floor with the\nbike pinning her\n\ndown. She struggles to lift it, but can't make much impression,\nso she rings\n\nthe bell on the bike. Jerry finally has his attention drawn away\nfrom Christie.\n\nELAINE\nHey!\n\nElaine makes 'So, are you gonna help me?' gestures.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nGeorge and Susan are having dinner with Ken and Carrie. Carrie\nis\n\nHeavily pregnant. George is eating spaghetti with his usual decorum.\n\nSUSAN\nA little baby girl?\n\nKEN\nDoctor says it could be any day now.\n\nGEORGE\n(through mouthful of food) So, Carrie,\nyou and Susan are\n\ncousins. So your baby daughter is gonna be Susan's second cousin,\nright? So what\n\ndoes that make me?\n\nCARRIE\nDoesn't make you anything.\n\nGEORGE\n(jokingly) Well, so, legally, I could\nmarry your daughter.\n\nGeorge laughs and shovels another load of pasta into his mouth.\nKen and\n\nCarrie look perturbed.\n\nSUSAN\nSo, have you picked out a name yet?\n\nCARRIE\nWell, we've narrowed it down to a few.\nWe like Kimberley.\n\nSUSAN\nAww.\n\nGEORGE\n(negative) Hu-ho, boy.\n\nKEN\nYou don't like Kimberley?\n\nGEORGE\nEch. What else you got?\n\nKEN\nHow about Joan?\n\nGEORGE\nAw c'mon, I'm eating here.\n\nSUSAN\n(warning) George!\n\nCARRIE\nPamela?\n\nGEORGE\nPamela?! Awright, I tell you what. You\nlook like nice people,\n\nI'm gonna help you out. You want a beautiful name? Soda.\n\nKEN\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nSoda. S-O-D-A. Soda.\n\nCARRIE\nI don't know, it sounds a little strange.\n\nGEORGE\nAll names sound strange the first time\nyou hear 'em. What, you\n\nTelling me people loved the name Blanche the first time they\nheard it?\n\nKEN\nYeah, but uh... Soda?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, that's right. It's working.\n\nCARRIE\nWe'll put it on the list.\n\nGEORGE\nI solve problems. That's just what I\ndo.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry sits in front of the TV, while in the kitchen Kramer is\nbuilding\n\nA sandwich of epic proportions. He hums to himself as he piles\nsliced\n\nmeat onto bread. Jerry looks over at him, looking somewhat irritated\nby the way\n\nKramer's demolishing his food stocks.\n\nKRAMER\n(sniffing a slice of meat) Yeah, oh\nboy. Mmm, that's good.\n\nJERRY\nYou're really going to town with that\nturkey there.\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, I got a big appetite.\n\nKramer goes to the fridge and looks inside.\n\nKRAMER\nUhh, Jerry, you got no mustard, huh.\n\nJERRY\nIt's on the door.\n\nKRAMER\n(examining a yellow squeeze bottle)\nWhat, this yellow stuff?\n\nNo, I said mustard, Jerry. Dijon.\n\nKramer waves away the squeezy option and shuts the fridge.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, 's no good.\n\nKramer goes back to his sandwich, puts the second slice of bread\non,\n\nand takes a bite. It doesn't meet with his approval. He spits\nout the mouthful he's\n\ntaken onto the plate, and dumps the rest of the sandwich next\nto it.\n\nKRAMER\nNo. That's bush league.\n\nKramer heads toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey. Wha... wait... what, you're\ngonna leave it there?\n\nThat's like half a pound of turkey!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, I can't eat that. You can't\neat a sandwich without\n\nDijon.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcasm) Yeah, you're right. I really\nshould keep more of your\n\nfavourites on hand.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, hey, hey. I'm getting a vibe here.\nWhat, are you unhappy\n\nwith our arrangement?\n\nJERRY\nWhat arrangement?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I was under the impression that\nI could take anything I\n\nWanted from your fridge, and you could take whatever you want\nfrom mine.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcasm) Yeah, well, lemme know when\nyou get something in there\n\nand I will.\n\nElaine enters. She has her head leaning over to the left, and\nshe's\n\nMoving carefully, like it's giving her pain.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey. What's with your neck?\n\nELAINE\nStill killing me from having to get\nthat bike off the wall.\n\n(pointedly) By myself.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if it's any consolation, I did\nget her number.\n\nELAINE\n(sitting) Ah, I think I really strained\nit. Ow.\n\nJERRY\nAw, I doubt you strained it. Maybe you\npulled it.\n\nELAINE\nAch, maybe.\n\nJERRY\nDid you twist it? You coulda twisted\nit.\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\nDid you wrench it? Did you jam it? Maybe\nyou squeezed it. Turned\n\nit...\n\nELAINE\n(patience exhausted) You know what,\nwhy don't you just shut the\n\nhell up?\n\nJERRY\nAwright.\n\nELAINE\nGod. Man, this is killing me. Right\nnow, I would give that bike\n\nto the first person who could make this pain go away.\n\nKRAMER\nAw, you really hurting, huh?\n\nELAINE\nOh, Kramer, it's just awful.\n\nKRAMER\nUh hmm. Well, your arterioles have constricted.\n\nKramer walks around behind the seated Elaine, and reaches for\nher neck.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, lean forward, relax.\n\nELAINE\n(worried) What? What?\n\nKRAMER\nEncounter shiatsu.\n\nKramer begins to work at Elaine's neck with his thumbs.\n\nELAINE\nWait a minute. Kramer, you know what\nyou're doing here?\n\nKRAMER\n(continuing to work) Ohh yeah. A wise\nman once taught me the\n\nHealing power of the body's natural pressure points.\n\nELAINE\nAh hah.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Jerry) He sells tee-shirts outside\nthe World Trade Centre.\n\nELAINE\n(seriously worried) Wha...?\n\nKRAMER\nHe's a genius. Here we go...\n\nKramer takes a firm grip of each side of Elaine's head. Elaine\nlooks\n\nReally worried now. She grabs a hold of Jerry's shirt and the\narm of the\n\ncouch, and her feet stamp on the floor.\n\nKRAMER\nFrom pain, will come pleasure.\n\nKramer violently twists Elaine's head to the left. There's a\nloud\n\nCrunching sound, and Elaine cries out in shock. Kramer lets go\nof her head and\n\nsteps away, job done.\n\nKRAMER\nUh? Voila.\n\nELAINE\n(pleasantly surprised) Oh my god!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nElaine rolls her head around, completely comfortable.\n\nELAINE\nWow! That is unbelievable. The pain\nis totally gone!\n\nJERRY\nWhat's even more amazing is his formal\ntraining is in\n\npaediatrics.\n\nKRAMER\nAwright, my work is done here.\n\nKramer heads for the door.\n\nELAINE\n(big smile) Oh man! Kramer, thank you!\n\nKRAMER\n(closing the door) Yeah, you can send\nthat bike over any time.\n\nELAINE\n(after Kramer) What? (to Jerry) What,\nwhat is he talking about?\n\nJERRY\nI dunno. (realising) Oh, 'cos you said\nyou'd give the bike to\n\nanyone who fixes your neck.\n\nELAINE\nYou really think he wants the bike?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah.\n\nELAINE\nIt took him like ten seconds!\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's the most he's worked in\nthe last four months.\n\n(George's Car)\n\nGeorge and Susan, heading home from the restaurant. George is\nhappy,\n\nsmiling and whistling.\n\nGEORGE\nI think they really went for that Soda.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat, are you crazy? They hated it.\nThey were just humouring\n\nyou.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, alright. Believe me, that kid's\ngonna be called Soda.\n\nSUSAN\nI can tell you, I would never name my\nchild Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no no no. Course not. I got a great\nname for our kids. A\n\nReal original. You wanna hear what it is? Huh, you ready?\n\nSUSAN\nYeah.\n\nGeorge uses his finger to draw a number 7 in the air, accompanying\nthe\n\nStrokes of his digit with a two-tone whistle.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat is that? Sign language?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, Seven.\n\nSUSAN\nSeven Costanza? You're serious?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy\nor a girl...\n\nSusan scoffs.\n\nGEORGE\n...especially a girl. Or a boy.\n\nSUSAN\nI don't think so.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you don't like the name?\n\nSUSAN\nIt's not a name. It's a number.\n\nGEORGE\nI know. It's Mickey Mantle's number.\nSo not only is it an all\n\nAround beautiful name, it is also a living tribute.\n\nSUSAN\nIt's awful. I hate it!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry) Well, that's the name!\n\nSUSAN\n(also angry) Oh no it is not! No child\nof mine is ever going to\n\nbe named Seven!\n\nGEORGE\n(yelling) Awright, let's just stay calm\nhere! Don't get all\n\ncrazy on me!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry walks from the bathroom, talking to George, who's just\ntold him\n\nabout his contretemps with Susan.\n\nJERRY\nSeven? Yeah, I guess I could see it.\nSeven. Seven periods of\n\nschool, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating,\nand eventually\n\nseven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.\n\nGEORGE\n(adamant) Yes I am. I defy you to come\nup with a better name\n\nthan Seven.\n\nJerry walks toward the kitchen. He sees an item on the counter.\n\nJERRY\nAwright, let's see. How about Mug? (picks\nup the mug) Mug\n\nCostanza, that's original. (he turns and sees another item) Or\nuh, Ketchup?\n\nPretty name for a girl.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, you having a good time there?\n\nJerry is in the kitchen, and opens a cupboard. His eyes run over\nthe\n\narray of good within.\n\nJERRY\nI got fifty right here in the cupboard.\nHow about Bisquik?\n\nPimento. Gherkin. Sauce. Maxwell House.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouts) Awright already!! This is a\nvery key issue with me,\n\nJerry. I had this name for a long time.\n\nJerry comes back into the living room. A thought occurs.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I forgot to call Christie.\n\nGEORGE\nChristie? That's the one you met in\nthe antique store?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, she had this great black and white\ndress, with a scoop\n\nneck. She looked like some kinda superhero.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd you met her in an antique store!\nI don't know how you do\n\nit!\n\nJERRY\n(smug) I'm not engaged.\n\nGeorge gives Jerry a look. Kramer enters. He's carrying a small\n\ngoldfish bowl, a pad and a pencil tied to the bowl by string.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, I got it.\n\nJERRY\nGot what?\n\nKRAMER\n(putting the items on the counter) Got\nthe answer, Jerry.\n\nRefrigerator problem, is solved.\n\nJERRY\nOh, it's no problem. You can take whatever\nyou want.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I will. But now, I'm accountable.\nAlright, I take what I\n\nwant.\n\nKramer takes a cupcake from a box on the counter.\n\nKRAMER\nHere. I write it down. (he writes) \"One\ncupcake.\" And then I\n\nput it in the bowl. (he tears off the sheet, crumples it and\ndrops it into the\n\nbowl) There. Very simple.\n\nJERRY\nSort of a mooching inventory.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. Not mooching. 'Cos at the end\nof the week, you add 'em\n\nall up, and you give me the bill.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, now look I gotta run some errands,\nso look. When\n\nElaine comes by with that bike, you hang onto it for me, alright?\n\nGeorge passes by as he goes to the fridge.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I don't know if you're getting\nthat bike.\n\nKRAMER\nYes I am. We had a verbal contract.\nIf we can't take each other\n\nat our word, all is lost.\n\nGeorge has fetched a Diet Coke from the fridge. He opens it.\nKramer\n\nhears the hiss, and notices George.\n\nKRAMER\n(waving at the bowl) Oh yeah, yeah.\nPut that on my tab.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie have just arrived. They're both wearing long\ncoats,\n\nFastened to the collar.\n\nJERRY\nWell this is it. The food is atrocious,\nbut the busboys are the\n\nbest in the city.\n\nA member of staff approaches.\n\nMAITRE D'\nMay I take your coat, miss?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes, thank you.\n\nThe Maitre d' helps Christie to slip out of her coat, revealing\nthat\n\nshe has on the exact same dress as she was wearing in the antique\nstore. Jerry\n\nlooks bemused, but plasters on a fixed smile as Christie looks\nat him.\n\n(Monks')\n\nJerry and George sit in a booth, discussing the previous night.\nGeorge\n\nFingers his chin thoughtfully.\n\nGEORGE\nThe same outfit?\n\nJERRY\nThe exact same outfit.\n\nGEORGE\nHow many days was it between encounters.\n\nJERRY\nThree.\n\nGEORGE\nThree days. Well, maybe you caught her\non the cusp of a new\n\nwash cycle. You know, she did laundry the day after she met you,\neverything got\n\nclean and she started all over again.\n\nJERRY\nPossibly, but then shouldn't the outfit\nonly reappear again at\n\nthe end of the cycle?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe she moved it up in the rotation.\n\nJERRY\nWhy? It's our first date, she's already\nin reruns?\n\nGEORGE\nVery curious.\n\nJERRY\nIndeed.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, Einstein wore the exact same\noutfit every day.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if she splits the atom, I'll let\nit slide.\n\nGEORGE\n(picking up his coat) Awright, I'm heading\nhome.\n\nJERRY\nHey, did Susan change her mind about\nthe name?\n\nGEORGE\n(standing) Not yet, but she's weakening.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, George, just because your\nlife is destroyed, don't\n\nDestroy someone else's.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's Mickey Mantle, Jerry. My idol.\n\nJERRY\nHow about 'Mickey'?\n\nGEORGE\n'Mickey'? (incredulous) 'Mickey'!\n\nGeorge walks away, half-laughing at Jerry's ludicrous suggestion.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is in the fridge. Kramer enters with a slide of the feet,\nand a\n\ncigar in his mouth.\n\nKRAMER\nHey buddy.\n\nJERRY\n(holding up a can) Hey, is this your\nhalf a can of soda in the\n\nfridge?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, that's yours. My half is gone.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I put my half a can here on the\ntab. Why, what's your\n\nbeef?\n\nJERRY\nYou cannot buy half a can of soda.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, why not.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I don't wanna get into the whole\nphysics of carbonation\n\nwith you here, but you know the sound a can makes when you open\nit?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nThat is the sound of you buying a whole\ncan. And the same goes\n\nfor this, okay...\n\nJerry holds up an apple, from which has been taken one large\nbite.\n\nJERRY\n...When you pierce the skin of a piece\nof fruit, you've bought\n\nthe whole fruit. Not a third of an apple, not a half of a banana...\n\nJerry hold up a half banana.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright.\n\nJERRY\n...You bite it, you bought it.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, alright. I'll make the necessary\nadjustments, alright.\n\nJERRY\nThank you.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. (pointedly) So, how's the neck?\nNice and loose?\n\nELAINE\nLookit, Kramer, you are not getting\nthis bike. I don't even\n\nknow why you ant it. (laughingly) I mean, it's a girl's bike.\n\nKRAMER\n(deadly serious) It's a verbal contract.\nWe had a deal.\n\nELAINE\nNo we didn't. You take these things\ntoo literally. It's like\n\nsaying,\n\nyou're hungry enough to eat a horse.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, my friend Jay Reimenschneider\neats horse all the time. He\n\ngets it from his butcher.\n\nELAINE\nThis is not the point. (emphatic) The\npoint is, you just can't\n\nhave the bike.\n\nKRAMER\nBoy, I am really surprised at you. (opening\nthe door) You are\n\nthe last person I figured would do something like this. I mean,\nGeorge, yeah, I\n\ncan see that. Even Jerry. But not you, Elaine...\n\nKramer holds one hand up above his head.\n\nKRAMER\nI always put you up here...\n\nKramer holds his other hand at about knee height.\n\nKRAMER\n...They're over here. Now you're...\naww-whawww.\n\nKramer brings his first hand down to the level of the second.\nHe\n\nleaves, closing the door with a bang. Elaine sits, fighting with\nher conscience. There\n\nis a brief pause, then the door opens again and Kramer pokes\nin his head,\n\nexpectantly.\n\nELAINE\n(grudging) Alright.\n\nKRAMER\n(points) Digidi.\n\nKramer leaves and closes the door again.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nGeorge and Susan are having dinner.\n\nGEORGE\nAw c'mon. It's a fantastic name. It's\na real original, nobody\n\nelse is gonna have it and I absolutely love it.\n\nSUSAN\nWell, I dunno how original it's gonna\nbe any more.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nSUSAN\nWell I was telling Carrie about our\nargument, and when I told\n\nthem the name, they just loved it.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, what're you saying?\n\nSUSAN\nThey're gonna name their baby Seven.\n\nGEORGE\n(disbelief) What?! They're stealing\nthe name?! That's my name,\n\nI made it up!\n\nSUSAN\nI can't believe that they're using it.\n\nGEORGE\n(anger) Well now it's not gonna be original!\nIt's gonna lose\n\nall its cachet!\n\nSUSAN\nI dunno how much cachet it had to begin\nwith.\n\nGEORGE\n(rage) Oh, it's got cachet, baby! It's\ngot cachet up the\n\nyin-yang!\n\n(Elaine's Apartment)\n\nElaine is in bed. She begins to move to get up. As she raises\nherself\n\nfrom the mattress, there is a loud crunching sound. A look of\nagony crosses her\n\nface.\n\nELAINE\n(in pain) Oh god! Oh, god. (bitter)\nKramer!\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine walks along the street. Her neck problem means she has\nher head\n\nTipped back so far she can't see directly in front of her. A\nguy coming the\n\nother way gives her a warning.\n\nMAN\nWatch your step.\n\nElaine collides with a litter bin which is outside her field\nof vision.\n\nELAINE\n(pain) Oh, ah. (bitter) Stupid Kramer.\n\nChristie is looking in a shop window, then she spots Elaine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nExcuse me. Elaine?\n\nElaine, handicapped by her neck, cannot see who's speaking.\n\nELAINE\nHuh?\n\nChristie comes over to Elaine. All Elaine can see of her is her\nhead\n\nand neck.\n\nCHRISTIE\nOver here. I thought that was you. You're\nJerry's friend,\n\nright?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah. Uh, Christie?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes. How y'doing?\n\nELAINE\n(bearing up) I'm fine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I gotta run. It was good to see\nyou.\n\nChristie walks away.\n\nELAINE\n(after Christie) Okay, oh, it was good\nto, good to see you.\n\nKramer comes along the street, riding the Schwinn Stingray and\nringing\n\nthe bell. He attracts comments from folk on the street.\n\nVOICE 1\nLookin' good.\n\nVOICE 2\nHey Cosmo, nice wheels.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got that right!\n\nA kid leans out the window of a parked Volvo.\n\nKID\n(scorn) Hey, you're riding a girl's\nbike.\n\nKramer thumbs his nose and continues pedalling.\n\nELAINE\n(shouting) Kramer! Kramer!\n\n(Outside Apartment Building)\n\nGeorge walks up to the door. He pushes the buzzer for a particular\n\napartment.\n\nKEN\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\nHello, Ken. It's George Costanza. I\nthink we need to talk.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry hears a loud knocking from the hallway.\n\nELAINE\n(angry shout) Kramer!\n\nJerry opens the door to reveal Elaine hammering insistently at\nKramer's\n\ndoor.\n\nELAINE\nKramer!!\n\nJERRY\nHey\n\nElaine turns to Jerry and gets a twinge from her neck.\n\nELAINE\nOw! God! Is Kramer back from his little\njoyride yet?\n\nElaine enters Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nHaven't seen him. How's the neck?\n\nELAINE\nHis chiropractic job was a crock. It's\neven worse than it was\n\nbefore.\n\nElaine removes her bag from her back, wincing from the pain as\nshe\n\nmoves.\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I'm surprised. (sarcasm) I would\nthink Kramer would have a\n\nknack for moving pieces of a person's spine around.\n\nELAINE\nHey, you know what, I think I ran into\nthat girl from the\n\nantique store. What's her name, Christie?\n\nJERRY\nYou saw her? What was she wearing?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know. I couldn't see. I couldn't\nlook down because of\n\nmy neck.\n\nJERRY\nDidn't you get a glimpse? An impression?\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you care?\n\nJERRY\nBoth times I've seen her she's worn\nthe same dress.\n\nThere's a ringing from the Schwinn's bell, and Kramer rides it\ninto\n\nJerry's apartment. He rides all around the apartment, round the\ncouch, past the\n\nTV and is heading for the door.\n\nELAINE\nDid you have a nice ride?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, great ride.\n\nELAINE\nOh, that's good. 'Cos it was your last!\n\nElaine slams the door shut before Kramer can leave. Kramer rides\n\nstraight into the door with a clatter. He falls to the ground,\nthen makes his\n\nstumbling way upright again.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat're you talking about?! We had a\ndeal!\n\nELAINE\n(anger) You better give me back that\nbike! (indicating neck)\n\nLook at this! Look! Ow. I couldn't even crawl out of bed this\nmorning.\n\nKRAMER\nBed? You should be sleeping on a wooden\nboard for at least a\n\nweek.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? You never told me that.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's common sense.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, what is he talking about? He's\nbeing ridiculous.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, look. Jerry, you know the whole\nstory, you should\n\nsettle this.\n\nELAINE\nYeah Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm flattered that you would both\nappeal to my wisdom, but\n\nunfortunately, my friendship to each of you precludes my getting\n\ninvolved. What you need is an impartial mediator.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I'd go for that. Would you go\nfor that?\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, I'm down.\n\nJERRY\nCourse, it would have to be someone\nwho hasn't heard the story\n\nbefore. Someone who is unencumbered by any emotional attachment.\nSomeone whose\n\nheart is so dark, it cannot be swayed by pity, compassion, or\nhuman emotion of\n\nany kind.\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer sit on Newman's couch. Elaine with her head\ntilted\n\nback. Newman sits in his chair, his fingertips together, trying\nto give an\n\nImpression of limitless wisdom.\n\nELAINE\nSo, that's the situation.\n\nNEWMAN\nMmm. You present an interesting dilemma.\nEach of you seemingly\n\nhas a legitimate claim to the bicycle, and yet the bicycle can\nhave only one\n\nrightful owner. Quite the conundrum. As a federal employee, I\nbelieve the law is\n\nall we have. (getting worked up) It's all that separates us from\nthe savages\n\nwho don't deserve even the privilege of the daily mail. (angry)\nStuffing parcels\n\ninto mailboxes where they don't belong!!...\n\nKRAMER\nNewman!\n\nNewman catches himself, and comes back to normality.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But, you must promise That you will\nabide by my decision, no\n\nMatter how unjust it may seem to either of you. Do I have your\nword?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yeah.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nAlright, let's begin.\n\nNewman sits back, to begin his contemplation. There is the single\n\n'ting' of a microwave.\n\nNEWMAN\n(excited) Ooh, my cocoa!\n\nNewman leaps to his feet and heads for his kitchen.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Apartment)\n\nCarrie is on the couch, with Ken sitting on the arm. George is\n\nexplaining about Seven.\n\nKEN\nWhy can't we use Seven?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's my name. I made it up. You can't\njust steal it.\n\nCARRIE\nWell, it's not as if Susan's pregnant.\nYou've already postponed\n\nThe wedding. Who knows if you'll ever get married.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, hey hey. Don't worry about me.\nI'm not a waffler. I don't\n\nwaffle!\n\nKEN\nRight, we're both big Mickey Mantle\nfans, and we love the name.\n\nIt's very unusual.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) What happened to Soda?! I\nthought we all agreed on\n\nSoda.\n\nKEN\n(emphatic) Well, we don't care for Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't care for Soda?!\n\nCARRIE\n(worked up) No, no. We don't like Soda\nat all!\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) How d'you not like Soda?!\nIt's bubbly, it's\n\nrefreshing!\n\nCarrie jumps and gives a cry.\n\nCARRIE\nOh!\n\nKEN\nWhat is it?\n\nCARRIE\nI felt something.\n\nKEN\nAre you okay, honey?\n\nCARRIE\nI think I'm going into labour.\n\nGeorge flashes a panicked expression.\n\nKEN\nOh god, oh god. Okay, let's not panic.\nLet's just get to the\n\nhospital...\n\nKen and Carrie rise and head toward the door.\n\nCARRIE\nOkay.\n\nKEN\n...Alright? I got the suitcase packed,\nright here.\n\nKen grabs the suitcase from by the door and they exit, hurriedly.\n\nGeorge trails along behind them, making suggestions.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about Six?\n\nKen gives him a look over his shoulder.\n\nGEORGE\nNine. Thirt... thirteen's no good.\n\nKen has left, George follows out the door.\n\nGEORGE\nFourteen. (shouting after Ken) Fourteen!\n\nGeorge closes the door behind him.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie are having dinner. Christie is eating, while\nJerry\n\nleans back picking at his meal, looking suspicious at the fact\nthat Christie is\n\nwearing the same black and white dress as at their two previous\nmeetings.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAre you okay, Jerry? You seem quiet.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm just a little uh, worn out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nI know exactly what you mean.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm sure you do.\n\nChristie begins to season her food, with salt. Jerry chews\n\nthoughtfully.\n\nJERRY\nWhat in god's name is going on here?\nIs she wearing the\n\nsame thing over and over again? Or does she have a closet full\nof these, like\n\nSuperman? I've got to unlock this mystery.\n\nChristie adds a little pepper to her dish. But after replacing\nthe\n\nshaker, she knocks her glass of red wine over her dress.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(horrified) Oh my god!\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nChristie mops at the spill with her napkin, but there's only\nso much\n\nyou can do.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhh. I can't go to the movies like this.\nDo you mind if we go\n\nback to my apartment, so I can change?\n\nJERRY\nChange? (thoughtful) Yes, I think that's\na super idea.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Car)\n\nKen is driving Carrie to the hospital. Carrie is as worked up\nas you'd\n\nexpect a woman in labor to be. In the back seat, George is making\none last\n\nattempt to save his name.\n\nCARRIE\nAre we almost there?\n\nKEN\nJust keep breathing, okay.\n\nCARRIE\n(deep breaths) Okay, okay.\n\nKEN\nOkay.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, the thing is,\nI kinda promised the widow\n\nMantle that I would name my baby Seven.\n\nAs George speaks, Ken is looking impatient and angry.\n\nKEN\nNow's not the best time, George!\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) It's just that, I know her,\nand boy...\n\nKEN\n(firm) George! She's in labour!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry shout) So am I!\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer still sit on the couch, awaiting Newman's\n\narbitration.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, you've both presented very convincing\narguments. On the\n\none hand, Elaine, your promise was given in haste. But was it\nnot still a promise? Hmm?\n\nKramer looks at Elaine, thinking his arguments have put him one\nup.\n\nNEWMAN\nAnd, Kramer, you did provide a service\nin exchange for\n\ncompensation. But, does the fee, once paid, not entitle the buyer\nto some assurance\n\nOf reliability? Hmm? Huh? Ahh. These were not easy questions\nto answer.\n\nNot for any man...\n\nKramer leans forward to receive the result. Elaine looks as attentive\n\nas she can while only being able to look upwards.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But I have made a decision. (revelatory)\nWe will cut the\n\nbike down the middle, and give half to each of you.\n\nELAINE\n(shout) What?! This is your solution?!\nTo ruin the bike?!\n\nNewman's face drops at her negative reaction. Kramer looks across\nat\n\nthe bike, looking worried.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, fine. Fine. Go ahead. (standing)\nCut the stupid thing\n\nin half.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no. Give it to her. I'd rather\nit belonged to another\n\nthan see it destroyed. Newman, give it to her, I beg you.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, y-yeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nNot so fast, Elaine! Only the bike's\ntrue owner would rather\n\ngive it away than see it come to harm. Kramer, the bike is yours!\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!\n\nKRAMER\nSweet justice. Newman, you are wise.\n\nKramer picks up the bike and climbs aboard.\n\nELAINE\n(frustration) But this isn't fair! Lookit,\nmy neck is still\n\nhurting me,\n\nand now you have the bike?!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, tell it to the judge, honey. I'm\ngoing for a ride.\n\nKramer opens the door and rides clumsily out, ringing the bell\nas he\n\ngoes.\n\n(Christie's Apartment)\n\nChristie leads Jerry into her home.\n\nCHRISTIE\nHere we are.\n\nJERRY\n(looking around) Ah, so this is the\nFortress of Solitude.\n\nChristie puts down her bag, and removes her coat.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I guess I'll go change.\n\nJERRY\nYes, change. By all means, change.\n\nChristie walks away down a hallway. Jerry removes his coat and\nsits\n\ndown. He looks around himself. On the coffee table he notices\na small framed\n\npicture of Christie and some guy. In the picture, she's wearing\nthe same black and\n\nWhite dress. Jerry picks it up and examines it more closely,\nreading a date\n\nwritten on the photo.\n\nJERRY\nAugust seventeen, nineteen-ninety-two.\nThe same dress!\n\nShe never\n\nchanges! Oh my god. (looking around) She's gotta have hundreds\nof these\n\ndresses.\n\nJerry gets up from his seat.\n\nJERRY\nThere must be a secret stash around\nhere somewhere.\n\nJerry opens a closet and begins to look inside. While he's rooting\n\nabout in there, Christie reenters the room, wearing a robe and\nlooking indignant\n\nat discovering Jerry invading her privacy.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhem! Are you looking for something?\n\nJERRY\nWhat're you doing? I thought you were\nchanging.\n\nCHRISTIE\nNo, I, I'm thinking we should just call\nit a night.\n\nJERRY\nNo, no. C'mon, put something else on.\nIt's early, let's go out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nIf it's all the same to you, I think\nI'm just gonna go to\n\nbed.\n\nJerry moves to the couch, where he half lays down.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, I'm kinda tired myself. Maybe\nI'll just sleep here on\n\nThe couch. Then in the morning, you'll get dressed, we'll walk\nout\n\ntogether. Both dressed, different clothes. Well, I'll be in the\nsame clothes. You'll\n\nof course be in different clothes, because it's your apartment.\nBut we'll go\n\ndownstairs, me in my same clothes, you in your different clothes.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(unequivocal) Jerry. I don't think so.\n\nJerry picks up his coat and moves toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nYou wanna throw something on and walk\nme to a cab?\n\nCHRISTIE\n(gesturing) Get out.\n\nJerry walks though the door. He's still talking as Christie closes\nit\n\non him.\n\nJERRY\n(pleading) Tell me what you're wearing\ntomorrow. I'll help you\n\nlay it out on the bed.\n\n(Hospital)\n\nCarrie is in a wheelchair, being wheeled by an orderly. She's\ndoing her\n\nbreathing. Ken hurries alongside, comforting his wife. George\nalso\n\nhustles along the corridor with the group.\n\nKEN\nOkay, breathe, honey. Breathe.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, you're really\nbeing very selfish. It\n\nwould be nice if you would think of someone other than yourself\nevery now and then!\n\nCARRIE\n(shouts) I'm having a baby!!\n\nThe orderly pushes the wheelchair on through the door of the\ndelivery\n\nroom. Ken turns to face George.\n\nKEN\nGeorge, you're not getting Seven! Now\nget outta here!!\n\nKen strides into the delivery room.\n\nGEORGE\n(desperate) Please! I have so little!\n\nGeorge tries to follow, but an orderly blocks his path.\n\nORDERLY\nSorry sir, it's family only.\n\nThe orderly closes the door on George, whose face can be seen\nthrough\n\nThe window.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm family. I'm having sex with the\ncousin!\n\nGeorge thumps his fists against the door in frustration. He's\ncrying as\n\nHe screams.\n\nGEORGE\nSeven!!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is on the phone, while Kramer examines a box of cereal\nin the\n\nkitchen.\n\nJERRY\nHello, Christie? I was wondering if\nwe could get together again?\n\n(listens) Oh really? Well you can't break up with me over the\nphone.\n\nC'mon, you gotta do this in person. It doesn't even have to be\none on one, you can\n\nbring a group of friends. I just wanna see you. Wait, don't hang\nup on me.\n\n(hurriedly) Why d'you wear the same dress all the time? Hello.\n\nDefeated, Jerry hangs up the phone.\n\nKRAMER\n(indicating the cereal) Hey, Jerry,\nif you're gonna be snacking\n\nOn these, you can't expect me to pay for the whole box.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, hobo Joe. I didn't wanna put\na damper on your little\n\nSmorgasbord here, but it's the end of the week, so I added up\nyour tab.\n\nJerry tears a sheet off a writing pad, and presents it to Kramer.\n\nKramer takes a look.\n\nKRAMER\n(does a double take) Yikes.\n\nJERRY\nI know. Pretty steep.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't have this kind of cash.\n\nJERRY\nFew do.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm good for it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well, until this bill is paid...\n\nJerry takes back the tab, then takes the cereal out of Kramer's\nhands.\n\nJERRY\n...the food court is closed.\n\nKRAMER\n(opening the door) Alright. I'll get\nthat money for you in five\n\nminutes. And, don't eat any more.\n\nKramer leaves at a run.\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine is walking along, when she spots something ahead of her.\n\nELAINE\nHey, that's my bike!\n\nAlong the sidewalk comes a happy-looking Newman, pedalling the\nSchwinn\n\nfor all he's worth. He rings the bell.\n\nNEWMAN\nGangway!\n\nELAINE\nThis is my bike!\n\nNewman brakes to a halt in front of Elaine.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh no. No no no no. I bought it from\nKramer. He was hard up for\n\ncash. Fifty bucks! (he laughs) Can you believe it? Of course,\nI had to make\n\nsome minor modifications, you know. Solid tyres, reinforced seatpost,\nheavy duty\n\nshocks. But, baby, this is one sweet ride.\n\nNewman begins to ride away.\n\nELAINE\n(chasing Newman) No, you better gimme\nback that bike. Newman,\n\ngimme...\n\nElaine grabs hold of the trailing end of Newman's scarf.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey!! Help me!\n\nThe show ends with a freeze frame of Newman on the bike, and\na\n\ndetermined Elaine grasping the scarf. There are sounds of a struggle.\n\n(End),\n\n7.13 \"The Seven\"\n\nEPISODE NUMBER\n123\n\nORIGINAL AIR DATE\nFebruary 01, 1996\n\nWRITTEN BY\nAlec Berg & Jeff Schaffer\n\nDIRECTED BY\nAndy Ackerman\n\nGUEST CAST\n\nKen Hudson Campbell (Ken)\n\nShannon Holt (Carrie)\n\nLisa Deanne (Christie)\n\nCharles Emmett (Orderly)\n\nDavid Richards (Maitre d')\n\nMatthew McCurley (Kid)\n\nJosh Abramson (Man #1)\n\nSteve Artiaga (Man #2)\n\nCheryl Hunter (Woman)\n\n(Nightclub)\n\nJerry's standup piece.\n\nJERRY\nI love it when people are complimented\non something they're\n\nwearing and they accept the compliment as if it was about them.\n\"Nice tie.\" \"Well,\n\nthank you. Thank you very much.\" The compliment is for the tie,\nit's not for\n\nyou, but we take it. That's kind of the job of clothes; to get\ncompliments for\n\nus, because it's very hard to get compliments based on your human\n\nqualities. Right? Let's face it, no matter how nice a person\nyou are, nobody's gonna come\n\nSay \"Hey, nice person.\" It's much easier to be a bastard and\njust try and\n\nmatch the colours up.\n\n(Antique Toy Store)\n\nElaine and Jerry enter a store stocked with the toys of yesteryear.\n\nThey look around at the array of classic teddy bears, toy boats,\npuppets, etc.\n\nELAINE\n(awed) Oh, look at this!\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I miss the days they made toys\nthat could kill a kid.\n\nSomething on the wall catches Elaine's eye. It's an old-fashioned\n\ngirl's bicycle, with high handlebars, a pink frame and a basket\non the front.\n\nELAINE\n(excited) Oh, cool! Look at that!\n\nJerry looks over, but his eye is drawn more towards an attractive\n\nwoman, Christie, who stands looking at the toys. She's wearing\na dress of\n\nmid-thigh length, black from the bottom of the ribs down, and\nwhite on the chest\n\nand arms.\n\nJERRY\n(admiring Christie) Yeah, I'm right\nthere with ya.\n\nELAINE\n(excited) That is a Schwinn Stingray!\nAnd it's the girl's\n\nmodel! Oh, I always wanted one of these when I was little.\n\nChristie leaves her examination of the toys on that side of the\nstore,\n\nand walks over to some other items. Jerry watches her as she\ngoes, she notices\n\nand smiles and flirtatious looks are exchanged. Jerry is oblivious\nto Elaine's\n\nvoice.\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you think Jerry? Jerry?\n\nJERRY\n(tearing himself away from Christie)\nHuh?\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you think?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah, be great for your paper route.\n\nELAINE\n(laughs) I love it. I'm getting it.\n\nElaine reaches for the bike, as Jerry turns back to Christie.\n\nELAINE\nCan you help me get it down, Jer? Jerry.\n\nCHRISTIE\nI think your friend needs some help\nover there.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, the only way to really help\nher is to just let her be.\n\nElaine gives up on Jerry assisting her and tries to lift the\nbike off\n\nthe wall on her own. But as she raises it, the weight proves\ntoo much and she\n\nfalls backwards, ending up on her back on the floor with the\nbike pinning her\n\ndown. She struggles to lift it, but can't make much impression,\nso she rings\n\nthe bell on the bike. Jerry finally has his attention drawn away\nfrom Christie.\n\nELAINE\nHey!\n\nElaine makes 'So, are you gonna help me?' gestures.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nGeorge and Susan are having dinner with Ken and Carrie. Carrie\nis\n\nHeavily pregnant. George is eating spaghetti with his usual decorum.\n\nSUSAN\nA little baby girl?\n\nKEN\nDoctor says it could be any day now.\n\nGEORGE\n(through mouthful of food) So, Carrie,\nyou and Susan are\n\ncousins. So your baby daughter is gonna be Susan's second cousin,\nright? So what\n\ndoes that make me?\n\nCARRIE\nDoesn't make you anything.\n\nGEORGE\n(jokingly) Well, so, legally, I could\nmarry your daughter.\n\nGeorge laughs and shovels another load of pasta into his mouth.\nKen and\n\nCarrie look perturbed.\n\nSUSAN\nSo, have you picked out a name yet?\n\nCARRIE\nWell, we've narrowed it down to a few.\nWe like Kimberley.\n\nSUSAN\nAww.\n\nGEORGE\n(negative) Hu-ho, boy.\n\nKEN\nYou don't like Kimberley?\n\nGEORGE\nEch. What else you got?\n\nKEN\nHow about Joan?\n\nGEORGE\nAw c'mon, I'm eating here.\n\nSUSAN\n(warning) George!\n\nCARRIE\nPamela?\n\nGEORGE\nPamela?! Awright, I tell you what. You\nlook like nice people,\n\nI'm gonna help you out. You want a beautiful name? Soda.\n\nKEN\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nSoda. S-O-D-A. Soda.\n\nCARRIE\nI don't know, it sounds a little strange.\n\nGEORGE\nAll names sound strange the first time\nyou hear 'em. What, you\n\nTelling me people loved the name Blanche the first time they\nheard it?\n\nKEN\nYeah, but uh... Soda?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, that's right. It's working.\n\nCARRIE\nWe'll put it on the list.\n\nGEORGE\nI solve problems. That's just what I\ndo.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry sits in front of the TV, while in the kitchen Kramer is\nbuilding\n\nA sandwich of epic proportions. He hums to himself as he piles\nsliced\n\nmeat onto bread. Jerry looks over at him, looking somewhat irritated\nby the way\n\nKramer's demolishing his food stocks.\n\nKRAMER\n(sniffing a slice of meat) Yeah, oh\nboy. Mmm, that's good.\n\nJERRY\nYou're really going to town with that\nturkey there.\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, I got a big appetite.\n\nKramer goes to the fridge and looks inside.\n\nKRAMER\nUhh, Jerry, you got no mustard, huh.\n\nJERRY\nIt's on the door.\n\nKRAMER\n(examining a yellow squeeze bottle)\nWhat, this yellow stuff?\n\nNo, I said mustard, Jerry. Dijon.\n\nKramer waves away the squeezy option and shuts the fridge.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, 's no good.\n\nKramer goes back to his sandwich, puts the second slice of bread\non,\n\nand takes a bite. It doesn't meet with his approval. He spits\nout the mouthful he's\n\ntaken onto the plate, and dumps the rest of the sandwich next\nto it.\n\nKRAMER\nNo. That's bush league.\n\nKramer heads toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey. Wha... wait... what, you're\ngonna leave it there?\n\nThat's like half a pound of turkey!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, I can't eat that. You can't\neat a sandwich without\n\nDijon.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcasm) Yeah, you're right. I really\nshould keep more of your\n\nfavourites on hand.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, hey, hey. I'm getting a vibe here.\nWhat, are you unhappy\n\nwith our arrangement?\n\nJERRY\nWhat arrangement?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I was under the impression that\nI could take anything I\n\nWanted from your fridge, and you could take whatever you want\nfrom mine.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcasm) Yeah, well, lemme know when\nyou get something in there\n\nand I will.\n\nElaine enters. She has her head leaning over to the left, and\nshe's\n\nMoving carefully, like it's giving her pain.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey. What's with your neck?\n\nELAINE\nStill killing me from having to get\nthat bike off the wall.\n\n(pointedly) By myself.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if it's any consolation, I did\nget her number.\n\nELAINE\n(sitting) Ah, I think I really strained\nit. Ow.\n\nJERRY\nAw, I doubt you strained it. Maybe you\npulled it.\n\nELAINE\nAch, maybe.\n\nJERRY\nDid you twist it? You coulda twisted\nit.\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.\n\nJERRY\nDid you wrench it? Did you jam it? Maybe\nyou squeezed it. Turned\n\nit...\n\nELAINE\n(patience exhausted) You know what,\nwhy don't you just shut the\n\nhell up?\n\nJERRY\nAwright.\n\nELAINE\nGod. Man, this is killing me. Right\nnow, I would give that bike\n\nto the first person who could make this pain go away.\n\nKRAMER\nAw, you really hurting, huh?\n\nELAINE\nOh, Kramer, it's just awful.\n\nKRAMER\nUh hmm. Well, your arterioles have constricted.\n\nKramer walks around behind the seated Elaine, and reaches for\nher neck.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, lean forward, relax.\n\nELAINE\n(worried) What? What?\n\nKRAMER\nEncounter shiatsu.\n\nKramer begins to work at Elaine's neck with his thumbs.\n\nELAINE\nWait a minute. Kramer, you know what\nyou're doing here?\n\nKRAMER\n(continuing to work) Ohh yeah. A wise\nman once taught me the\n\nHealing power of the body's natural pressure points.\n\nELAINE\nAh hah.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Jerry) He sells tee-shirts outside\nthe World Trade Centre.\n\nELAINE\n(seriously worried) Wha...?\n\nKRAMER\nHe's a genius. Here we go...\n\nKramer takes a firm grip of each side of Elaine's head. Elaine\nlooks\n\nReally worried now. She grabs a hold of Jerry's shirt and the\narm of the\n\ncouch, and her feet stamp on the floor.\n\nKRAMER\nFrom pain, will come pleasure.\n\nKramer violently twists Elaine's head to the left. There's a\nloud\n\nCrunching sound, and Elaine cries out in shock. Kramer lets go\nof her head and\n\nsteps away, job done.\n\nKRAMER\nUh? Voila.\n\nELAINE\n(pleasantly surprised) Oh my god!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nElaine rolls her head around, completely comfortable.\n\nELAINE\nWow! That is unbelievable. The pain\nis totally gone!\n\nJERRY\nWhat's even more amazing is his formal\ntraining is in\n\npaediatrics.\n\nKRAMER\nAwright, my work is done here.\n\nKramer heads for the door.\n\nELAINE\n(big smile) Oh man! Kramer, thank you!\n\nKRAMER\n(closing the door) Yeah, you can send\nthat bike over any time.\n\nELAINE\n(after Kramer) What? (to Jerry) What,\nwhat is he talking about?\n\nJERRY\nI dunno. (realising) Oh, 'cos you said\nyou'd give the bike to\n\nanyone who fixes your neck.\n\nELAINE\nYou really think he wants the bike?\n\nJERRY\nOh yeah.\n\nELAINE\nIt took him like ten seconds!\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's the most he's worked in\nthe last four months.\n\n(George's Car)\n\nGeorge and Susan, heading home from the restaurant. George is\nhappy,\n\nsmiling and whistling.\n\nGEORGE\nI think they really went for that Soda.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat, are you crazy? They hated it.\nThey were just humouring\n\nyou.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, alright. Believe me, that kid's\ngonna be called Soda.\n\nSUSAN\nI can tell you, I would never name my\nchild Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, no no no. Course not. I got a great\nname for our kids. A\n\nReal original. You wanna hear what it is? Huh, you ready?\n\nSUSAN\nYeah.\n\nGeorge uses his finger to draw a number 7 in the air, accompanying\nthe\n\nStrokes of his digit with a two-tone whistle.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat is that? Sign language?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, Seven.\n\nSUSAN\nSeven Costanza? You're serious?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy\nor a girl...\n\nSusan scoffs.\n\nGEORGE\n...especially a girl. Or a boy.\n\nSUSAN\nI don't think so.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you don't like the name?\n\nSUSAN\nIt's not a name. It's a number.\n\nGEORGE\nI know. It's Mickey Mantle's number.\nSo not only is it an all\n\nAround beautiful name, it is also a living tribute.\n\nSUSAN\nIt's awful. I hate it!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry) Well, that's the name!\n\nSUSAN\n(also angry) Oh no it is not! No child\nof mine is ever going to\n\nbe named Seven!\n\nGEORGE\n(yelling) Awright, let's just stay calm\nhere! Don't get all\n\ncrazy on me!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry walks from the bathroom, talking to George, who's just\ntold him\n\nabout his contretemps with Susan.\n\nJERRY\nSeven? Yeah, I guess I could see it.\nSeven. Seven periods of\n\nschool, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating,\nand eventually\n\nseven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.\n\nGEORGE\n(adamant) Yes I am. I defy you to come\nup with a better name\n\nthan Seven.\n\nJerry walks toward the kitchen. He sees an item on the counter.\n\nJERRY\nAwright, let's see. How about Mug? (picks\nup the mug) Mug\n\nCostanza, that's original. (he turns and sees another item) Or\nuh, Ketchup?\n\nPretty name for a girl.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, you having a good time there?\n\nJerry is in the kitchen, and opens a cupboard. His eyes run over\nthe\n\narray of good within.\n\nJERRY\nI got fifty right here in the cupboard.\nHow about Bisquik?\n\nPimento. Gherkin. Sauce. Maxwell House.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouts) Awright already!! This is a\nvery key issue with me,\n\nJerry. I had this name for a long time.\n\nJerry comes back into the living room. A thought occurs.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I forgot to call Christie.\n\nGEORGE\nChristie? That's the one you met in\nthe antique store?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, she had this great black and white\ndress, with a scoop\n\nneck. She looked like some kinda superhero.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd you met her in an antique store!\nI don't know how you do\n\nit!\n\nJERRY\n(smug) I'm not engaged.\n\nGeorge gives Jerry a look. Kramer enters. He's carrying a small\n\ngoldfish bowl, a pad and a pencil tied to the bowl by string.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, I got it.\n\nJERRY\nGot what?\n\nKRAMER\n(putting the items on the counter) Got\nthe answer, Jerry.\n\nRefrigerator problem, is solved.\n\nJERRY\nOh, it's no problem. You can take whatever\nyou want.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I will. But now, I'm accountable.\nAlright, I take what I\n\nwant.\n\nKramer takes a cupcake from a box on the counter.\n\nKRAMER\nHere. I write it down. (he writes) \"One\ncupcake.\" And then I\n\nput it in the bowl. (he tears off the sheet, crumples it and\ndrops it into the\n\nbowl) There. Very simple.\n\nJERRY\nSort of a mooching inventory.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. Not mooching. 'Cos at the end\nof the week, you add 'em\n\nall up, and you give me the bill.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, now look I gotta run some errands,\nso look. When\n\nElaine comes by with that bike, you hang onto it for me, alright?\n\nGeorge passes by as he goes to the fridge.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I don't know if you're getting\nthat bike.\n\nKRAMER\nYes I am. We had a verbal contract.\nIf we can't take each other\n\nat our word, all is lost.\n\nGeorge has fetched a Diet Coke from the fridge. He opens it.\nKramer\n\nhears the hiss, and notices George.\n\nKRAMER\n(waving at the bowl) Oh yeah, yeah.\nPut that on my tab.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie have just arrived. They're both wearing long\ncoats,\n\nFastened to the collar.\n\nJERRY\nWell this is it. The food is atrocious,\nbut the busboys are the\n\nbest in the city.\n\nA member of staff approaches.\n\nMAITRE D'\nMay I take your coat, miss?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes, thank you.\n\nThe Maitre d' helps Christie to slip out of her coat, revealing\nthat\n\nshe has on the exact same dress as she was wearing in the antique\nstore. Jerry\n\nlooks bemused, but plasters on a fixed smile as Christie looks\nat him.\n\n(Monks')\n\nJerry and George sit in a booth, discussing the previous night.\nGeorge\n\nFingers his chin thoughtfully.\n\nGEORGE\nThe same outfit?\n\nJERRY\nThe exact same outfit.\n\nGEORGE\nHow many days was it between encounters.\n\nJERRY\nThree.\n\nGEORGE\nThree days. Well, maybe you caught her\non the cusp of a new\n\nwash cycle. You know, she did laundry the day after she met you,\neverything got\n\nclean and she started all over again.\n\nJERRY\nPossibly, but then shouldn't the outfit\nonly reappear again at\n\nthe end of the cycle?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe she moved it up in the rotation.\n\nJERRY\nWhy? It's our first date, she's already\nin reruns?\n\nGEORGE\nVery curious.\n\nJERRY\nIndeed.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, Einstein wore the exact same\noutfit every day.\n\nJERRY\nWell, if she splits the atom, I'll let\nit slide.\n\nGEORGE\n(picking up his coat) Awright, I'm heading\nhome.\n\nJERRY\nHey, did Susan change her mind about\nthe name?\n\nGEORGE\n(standing) Not yet, but she's weakening.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, George, just because your\nlife is destroyed, don't\n\nDestroy someone else's.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's Mickey Mantle, Jerry. My idol.\n\nJERRY\nHow about 'Mickey'?\n\nGEORGE\n'Mickey'? (incredulous) 'Mickey'!\n\nGeorge walks away, half-laughing at Jerry's ludicrous suggestion.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is in the fridge. Kramer enters with a slide of the feet,\nand a\n\ncigar in his mouth.\n\nKRAMER\nHey buddy.\n\nJERRY\n(holding up a can) Hey, is this your\nhalf a can of soda in the\n\nfridge?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, that's yours. My half is gone.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I put my half a can here on the\ntab. Why, what's your\n\nbeef?\n\nJERRY\nYou cannot buy half a can of soda.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, why not.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I don't wanna get into the whole\nphysics of carbonation\n\nwith you here, but you know the sound a can makes when you open\nit?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nThat is the sound of you buying a whole\ncan. And the same goes\n\nfor this, okay...\n\nJerry holds up an apple, from which has been taken one large\nbite.\n\nJERRY\n...When you pierce the skin of a piece\nof fruit, you've bought\n\nthe whole fruit. Not a third of an apple, not a half of a banana...\n\nJerry hold up a half banana.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright.\n\nJERRY\n...You bite it, you bought it.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, alright. I'll make the necessary\nadjustments, alright.\n\nJERRY\nThank you.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. (pointedly) So, how's the neck?\nNice and loose?\n\nELAINE\nLookit, Kramer, you are not getting\nthis bike. I don't even\n\nknow why you ant it. (laughingly) I mean, it's a girl's bike.\n\nKRAMER\n(deadly serious) It's a verbal contract.\nWe had a deal.\n\nELAINE\nNo we didn't. You take these things\ntoo literally. It's like\n\nsaying,\n\nyou're hungry enough to eat a horse.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, my friend Jay Reimenschneider\neats horse all the time. He\n\ngets it from his butcher.\n\nELAINE\nThis is not the point. (emphatic) The\npoint is, you just can't\n\nhave the bike.\n\nKRAMER\nBoy, I am really surprised at you. (opening\nthe door) You are\n\nthe last person I figured would do something like this. I mean,\nGeorge, yeah, I\n\ncan see that. Even Jerry. But not you, Elaine...\n\nKramer holds one hand up above his head.\n\nKRAMER\nI always put you up here...\n\nKramer holds his other hand at about knee height.\n\nKRAMER\n...They're over here. Now you're...\naww-whawww.\n\nKramer brings his first hand down to the level of the second.\nHe\n\nleaves, closing the door with a bang. Elaine sits, fighting with\nher conscience. There\n\nis a brief pause, then the door opens again and Kramer pokes\nin his head,\n\nexpectantly.\n\nELAINE\n(grudging) Alright.\n\nKRAMER\n(points) Digidi.\n\nKramer leaves and closes the door again.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nGeorge and Susan are having dinner.\n\nGEORGE\nAw c'mon. It's a fantastic name. It's\na real original, nobody\n\nelse is gonna have it and I absolutely love it.\n\nSUSAN\nWell, I dunno how original it's gonna\nbe any more.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nSUSAN\nWell I was telling Carrie about our\nargument, and when I told\n\nthem the name, they just loved it.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, what're you saying?\n\nSUSAN\nThey're gonna name their baby Seven.\n\nGEORGE\n(disbelief) What?! They're stealing\nthe name?! That's my name,\n\nI made it up!\n\nSUSAN\nI can't believe that they're using it.\n\nGEORGE\n(anger) Well now it's not gonna be original!\nIt's gonna lose\n\nall its cachet!\n\nSUSAN\nI dunno how much cachet it had to begin\nwith.\n\nGEORGE\n(rage) Oh, it's got cachet, baby! It's\ngot cachet up the\n\nyin-yang!\n\n(Elaine's Apartment)\n\nElaine is in bed. She begins to move to get up. As she raises\nherself\n\nfrom the mattress, there is a loud crunching sound. A look of\nagony crosses her\n\nface.\n\nELAINE\n(in pain) Oh god! Oh, god. (bitter)\nKramer!\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine walks along the street. Her neck problem means she has\nher head\n\nTipped back so far she can't see directly in front of her. A\nguy coming the\n\nother way gives her a warning.\n\nMAN\nWatch your step.\n\nElaine collides with a litter bin which is outside her field\nof vision.\n\nELAINE\n(pain) Oh, ah. (bitter) Stupid Kramer.\n\nChristie is looking in a shop window, then she spots Elaine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nExcuse me. Elaine?\n\nElaine, handicapped by her neck, cannot see who's speaking.\n\nELAINE\nHuh?\n\nChristie comes over to Elaine. All Elaine can see of her is her\nhead\n\nand neck.\n\nCHRISTIE\nOver here. I thought that was you. You're\nJerry's friend,\n\nright?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah. Uh, Christie?\n\nCHRISTIE\nYes. How y'doing?\n\nELAINE\n(bearing up) I'm fine.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I gotta run. It was good to see\nyou.\n\nChristie walks away.\n\nELAINE\n(after Christie) Okay, oh, it was good\nto, good to see you.\n\nKramer comes along the street, riding the Schwinn Stingray and\nringing\n\nthe bell. He attracts comments from folk on the street.\n\nVOICE 1\nLookin' good.\n\nVOICE 2\nHey Cosmo, nice wheels.\n\nKRAMER\nYou got that right!\n\nA kid leans out the window of a parked Volvo.\n\nKID\n(scorn) Hey, you're riding a girl's\nbike.\n\nKramer thumbs his nose and continues pedalling.\n\nELAINE\n(shouting) Kramer! Kramer!\n\n(Outside Apartment Building)\n\nGeorge walks up to the door. He pushes the buzzer for a particular\n\napartment.\n\nKEN\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\nHello, Ken. It's George Costanza. I\nthink we need to talk.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry hears a loud knocking from the hallway.\n\nELAINE\n(angry shout) Kramer!\n\nJerry opens the door to reveal Elaine hammering insistently at\nKramer's\n\ndoor.\n\nELAINE\nKramer!!\n\nJERRY\nHey\n\nElaine turns to Jerry and gets a twinge from her neck.\n\nELAINE\nOw! God! Is Kramer back from his little\njoyride yet?\n\nElaine enters Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nHaven't seen him. How's the neck?\n\nELAINE\nHis chiropractic job was a crock. It's\neven worse than it was\n\nbefore.\n\nElaine removes her bag from her back, wincing from the pain as\nshe\n\nmoves.\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I'm surprised. (sarcasm) I would\nthink Kramer would have a\n\nknack for moving pieces of a person's spine around.\n\nELAINE\nHey, you know what, I think I ran into\nthat girl from the\n\nantique store. What's her name, Christie?\n\nJERRY\nYou saw her? What was she wearing?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know. I couldn't see. I couldn't\nlook down because of\n\nmy neck.\n\nJERRY\nDidn't you get a glimpse? An impression?\n\nELAINE\nWhat d'you care?\n\nJERRY\nBoth times I've seen her she's worn\nthe same dress.\n\nThere's a ringing from the Schwinn's bell, and Kramer rides it\ninto\n\nJerry's apartment. He rides all around the apartment, round the\ncouch, past the\n\nTV and is heading for the door.\n\nELAINE\nDid you have a nice ride?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, great ride.\n\nELAINE\nOh, that's good. 'Cos it was your last!\n\nElaine slams the door shut before Kramer can leave. Kramer rides\n\nstraight into the door with a clatter. He falls to the ground,\nthen makes his\n\nstumbling way upright again.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat're you talking about?! We had a\ndeal!\n\nELAINE\n(anger) You better give me back that\nbike! (indicating neck)\n\nLook at this! Look! Ow. I couldn't even crawl out of bed this\nmorning.\n\nKRAMER\nBed? You should be sleeping on a wooden\nboard for at least a\n\nweek.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? You never told me that.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's common sense.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, what is he talking about? He's\nbeing ridiculous.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, look. Jerry, you know the whole\nstory, you should\n\nsettle this.\n\nELAINE\nYeah Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm flattered that you would both\nappeal to my wisdom, but\n\nunfortunately, my friendship to each of you precludes my getting\n\ninvolved. What you need is an impartial mediator.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I'd go for that. Would you go\nfor that?\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, I'm down.\n\nJERRY\nCourse, it would have to be someone\nwho hasn't heard the story\n\nbefore. Someone who is unencumbered by any emotional attachment.\nSomeone whose\n\nheart is so dark, it cannot be swayed by pity, compassion, or\nhuman emotion of\n\nany kind.\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer sit on Newman's couch. Elaine with her head\ntilted\n\nback. Newman sits in his chair, his fingertips together, trying\nto give an\n\nImpression of limitless wisdom.\n\nELAINE\nSo, that's the situation.\n\nNEWMAN\nMmm. You present an interesting dilemma.\nEach of you seemingly\n\nhas a legitimate claim to the bicycle, and yet the bicycle can\nhave only one\n\nrightful owner. Quite the conundrum. As a federal employee, I\nbelieve the law is\n\nall we have. (getting worked up) It's all that separates us from\nthe savages\n\nwho don't deserve even the privilege of the daily mail. (angry)\nStuffing parcels\n\ninto mailboxes where they don't belong!!...\n\nKRAMER\nNewman!\n\nNewman catches himself, and comes back to normality.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But, you must promise That you will\nabide by my decision, no\n\nMatter how unjust it may seem to either of you. Do I have your\nword?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yeah.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nAlright, let's begin.\n\nNewman sits back, to begin his contemplation. There is the single\n\n'ting' of a microwave.\n\nNEWMAN\n(excited) Ooh, my cocoa!\n\nNewman leaps to his feet and heads for his kitchen.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Apartment)\n\nCarrie is on the couch, with Ken sitting on the arm. George is\n\nexplaining about Seven.\n\nKEN\nWhy can't we use Seven?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's my name. I made it up. You can't\njust steal it.\n\nCARRIE\nWell, it's not as if Susan's pregnant.\nYou've already postponed\n\nThe wedding. Who knows if you'll ever get married.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, hey hey. Don't worry about me.\nI'm not a waffler. I don't\n\nwaffle!\n\nKEN\nRight, we're both big Mickey Mantle\nfans, and we love the name.\n\nIt's very unusual.\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) What happened to Soda?! I\nthought we all agreed on\n\nSoda.\n\nKEN\n(emphatic) Well, we don't care for Soda.\n\nGEORGE\nYou don't care for Soda?!\n\nCARRIE\n(worked up) No, no. We don't like Soda\nat all!\n\nGEORGE\n(shouting) How d'you not like Soda?!\nIt's bubbly, it's\n\nrefreshing!\n\nCarrie jumps and gives a cry.\n\nCARRIE\nOh!\n\nKEN\nWhat is it?\n\nCARRIE\nI felt something.\n\nKEN\nAre you okay, honey?\n\nCARRIE\nI think I'm going into labour.\n\nGeorge flashes a panicked expression.\n\nKEN\nOh god, oh god. Okay, let's not panic.\nLet's just get to the\n\nhospital...\n\nKen and Carrie rise and head toward the door.\n\nCARRIE\nOkay.\n\nKEN\n...Alright? I got the suitcase packed,\nright here.\n\nKen grabs the suitcase from by the door and they exit, hurriedly.\n\nGeorge trails along behind them, making suggestions.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about Six?\n\nKen gives him a look over his shoulder.\n\nGEORGE\nNine. Thirt... thirteen's no good.\n\nKen has left, George follows out the door.\n\nGEORGE\nFourteen. (shouting after Ken) Fourteen!\n\nGeorge closes the door behind him.\n\n(Restaurant)\n\nJerry and Christie are having dinner. Christie is eating, while\nJerry\n\nleans back picking at his meal, looking suspicious at the fact\nthat Christie is\n\nwearing the same black and white dress as at their two previous\nmeetings.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAre you okay, Jerry? You seem quiet.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'm just a little uh, worn out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nI know exactly what you mean.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm sure you do.\n\nChristie begins to season her food, with salt. Jerry chews\n\nthoughtfully.\n\nJERRY\nWhat in god's name is going on here?\nIs she wearing the\n\nsame thing over and over again? Or does she have a closet full\nof these, like\n\nSuperman? I've got to unlock this mystery.\n\nChristie adds a little pepper to her dish. But after replacing\nthe\n\nshaker, she knocks her glass of red wine over her dress.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(horrified) Oh my god!\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nChristie mops at the spill with her napkin, but there's only\nso much\n\nyou can do.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhh. I can't go to the movies like this.\nDo you mind if we go\n\nback to my apartment, so I can change?\n\nJERRY\nChange? (thoughtful) Yes, I think that's\na super idea.\n\n(Ken and Carrie's Car)\n\nKen is driving Carrie to the hospital. Carrie is as worked up\nas you'd\n\nexpect a woman in labor to be. In the back seat, George is making\none last\n\nattempt to save his name.\n\nCARRIE\nAre we almost there?\n\nKEN\nJust keep breathing, okay.\n\nCARRIE\n(deep breaths) Okay, okay.\n\nKEN\nOkay.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, the thing is,\nI kinda promised the widow\n\nMantle that I would name my baby Seven.\n\nAs George speaks, Ken is looking impatient and angry.\n\nKEN\nNow's not the best time, George!\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) It's just that, I know her,\nand boy...\n\nKEN\n(firm) George! She's in labour!\n\nGEORGE\n(angry shout) So am I!\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nElaine and Kramer still sit on the couch, awaiting Newman's\n\narbitration.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, you've both presented very convincing\narguments. On the\n\none hand, Elaine, your promise was given in haste. But was it\nnot still a promise? Hmm?\n\nKramer looks at Elaine, thinking his arguments have put him one\nup.\n\nNEWMAN\nAnd, Kramer, you did provide a service\nin exchange for\n\ncompensation. But, does the fee, once paid, not entitle the buyer\nto some assurance\n\nOf reliability? Hmm? Huh? Ahh. These were not easy questions\nto answer.\n\nNot for any man...\n\nKramer leans forward to receive the result. Elaine looks as attentive\n\nas she can while only being able to look upwards.\n\nNEWMAN\n...But I have made a decision. (revelatory)\nWe will cut the\n\nbike down the middle, and give half to each of you.\n\nELAINE\n(shout) What?! This is your solution?!\nTo ruin the bike?!\n\nNewman's face drops at her negative reaction. Kramer looks across\nat\n\nthe bike, looking worried.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, fine. Fine. Go ahead. (standing)\nCut the stupid thing\n\nin half.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no. Give it to her. I'd rather\nit belonged to another\n\nthan see it destroyed. Newman, give it to her, I beg you.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, yeah, y-yeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nNot so fast, Elaine! Only the bike's\ntrue owner would rather\n\ngive it away than see it come to harm. Kramer, the bike is yours!\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!\n\nKRAMER\nSweet justice. Newman, you are wise.\n\nKramer picks up the bike and climbs aboard.\n\nELAINE\n(frustration) But this isn't fair! Lookit,\nmy neck is still\n\nhurting me,\n\nand now you have the bike?!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, tell it to the judge, honey. I'm\ngoing for a ride.\n\nKramer opens the door and rides clumsily out, ringing the bell\nas he\n\ngoes.\n\n(Christie's Apartment)\n\nChristie leads Jerry into her home.\n\nCHRISTIE\nHere we are.\n\nJERRY\n(looking around) Ah, so this is the\nFortress of Solitude.\n\nChristie puts down her bag, and removes her coat.\n\nCHRISTIE\nWell, I guess I'll go change.\n\nJERRY\nYes, change. By all means, change.\n\nChristie walks away down a hallway. Jerry removes his coat and\nsits\n\ndown. He looks around himself. On the coffee table he notices\na small framed\n\npicture of Christie and some guy. In the picture, she's wearing\nthe same black and\n\nWhite dress. Jerry picks it up and examines it more closely,\nreading a date\n\nwritten on the photo.\n\nJERRY\nAugust seventeen, nineteen-ninety-two.\nThe same dress!\n\nShe never\n\nchanges! Oh my god. (looking around) She's gotta have hundreds\nof these\n\ndresses.\n\nJerry gets up from his seat.\n\nJERRY\nThere must be a secret stash around\nhere somewhere.\n\nJerry opens a closet and begins to look inside. While he's rooting\n\nabout in there, Christie reenters the room, wearing a robe and\nlooking indignant\n\nat discovering Jerry invading her privacy.\n\nCHRISTIE\nAhem! Are you looking for something?\n\nJERRY\nWhat're you doing? I thought you were\nchanging.\n\nCHRISTIE\nNo, I, I'm thinking we should just call\nit a night.\n\nJERRY\nNo, no. C'mon, put something else on.\nIt's early, let's go out.\n\nCHRISTIE\nIf it's all the same to you, I think\nI'm just gonna go to\n\nbed.\n\nJerry moves to the couch, where he half lays down.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, I'm kinda tired myself. Maybe\nI'll just sleep here on\n\nThe couch. Then in the morning, you'll get dressed, we'll walk\nout\n\ntogether. Both dressed, different clothes. Well, I'll be in the\nsame clothes. You'll\n\nof course be in different clothes, because it's your apartment.\nBut we'll go\n\ndownstairs, me in my same clothes, you in your different clothes.\n\nCHRISTIE\n(unequivocal) Jerry. I don't think so.\n\nJerry picks up his coat and moves toward the door.\n\nJERRY\nYou wanna throw something on and walk\nme to a cab?\n\nCHRISTIE\n(gesturing) Get out.\n\nJerry walks though the door. He's still talking as Christie closes\nit\n\non him.\n\nJERRY\n(pleading) Tell me what you're wearing\ntomorrow. I'll help you\n\nlay it out on the bed.\n\n(Hospital)\n\nCarrie is in a wheelchair, being wheeled by an orderly. She's\ndoing her\n\nbreathing. Ken hurries alongside, comforting his wife. George\nalso\n\nhustles along the corridor with the group.\n\nKEN\nOkay, breathe, honey. Breathe.\n\nGEORGE\n(to Carrie) You know, you're really\nbeing very selfish. It\n\nwould be nice if you would think of someone other than yourself\nevery now and then!\n\nCARRIE\n(shouts) I'm having a baby!!\n\nThe orderly pushes the wheelchair on through the door of the\ndelivery\n\nroom. Ken turns to face George.\n\nKEN\nGeorge, you're not getting Seven! Now\nget outta here!!\n\nKen strides into the delivery room.\n\nGEORGE\n(desperate) Please! I have so little!\n\nGeorge tries to follow, but an orderly blocks his path.\n\nORDERLY\nSorry sir, it's family only.\n\nThe orderly closes the door on George, whose face can be seen\nthrough\n\nThe window.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm family. I'm having sex with the\ncousin!\n\nGeorge thumps his fists against the door in frustration. He's\ncrying as\n\nHe screams.\n\nGEORGE\nSeven!!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is on the phone, while Kramer examines a box of cereal\nin the\n\nkitchen.\n\nJERRY\nHello, Christie? I was wondering if\nwe could get together again?\n\n(listens) Oh really? Well you can't break up with me over the\nphone.\n\nC'mon, you gotta do this in person. It doesn't even have to be\none on one, you can\n\nbring a group of friends. I just wanna see you. Wait, don't hang\nup on me.\n\n(hurriedly) Why d'you wear the same dress all the time? Hello.\n\nDefeated, Jerry hangs up the phone.\n\nKRAMER\n(indicating the cereal) Hey, Jerry,\nif you're gonna be snacking on these,\nyou can't expect me to pay for the whole\nbox.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, hobo Joe. I didn't wanna put\na damper on your little\n\nSmorgasbord here, but it's the end of the week, so I added up\nyour tab.\n\nJerry tears a sheet off a writing pad, and presents it to Kramer.\n\nKramer takes a look.\n\nKRAMER\n(does a double take) Yikes.\n\nJERRY\nI know. Pretty steep.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't have this kind of cash.\n\nJERRY\nFew do.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm good for it.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, well, until this bill is paid...\n\nJerry takes back the tab, then takes the cereal out of Kramer's\nhands.\n\nJERRY\n...the food court is closed.\n\nKRAMER\n(opening the door) Alright. I'll get\nthat money for you in five minutes.\nAnd, don't eat any more.\n\nKramer leaves at a run.\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine is walking along, when she spots something ahead of her.\n\nELAINE\nHey, that's my bike!\n\nAlong the sidewalk comes a happy-looking Newman, pedalling the\nSchwinn\n\nfor all he's worth. He rings the bell.\n\nNEWMAN\nGangway!\n\nELAINE\nThis is my bike!\n\nNewman brakes to a halt in front of Elaine.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh no. No no no no. I bought it from\nKramer. He was hard up for cash. Fifty\nbucks! (he laughs) Can you believe it?\nOf course, I had to make some minor\nmodifications, you know. Solid tires,\nreinforced seatpost, heavy duty shocks.\nBut, baby, this is one sweet ride.\n\nNewman begins to ride away.\n\nELAINE\n(chasing Newman) No, you better gimme\nback that bike. Newman, gimme...\n\nElaine grabs hold of the trailing end of Newman's scarf.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey!! Help me!\n\nThe show ends with a freeze frame of Newman on the bike, and\na determined Elaine grasping the scarf.

Yeah, I been getting HBO and Showtime\nfor free. See, they just\n\nfound out about it, so now they wanna come and take it out.\n\nJERRY\nWell, said he was waiting about two\nhours. Seemed a little put out.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, was he? Was he? I guess the cable\nman doesn't like to be kept\n\nwaiting.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't seem too bothered by it.\n\nKRAMER\nYou remember what they did to me ten\nyears ago? \"Oh, we'll be there\n\nin the morning between nine and one\", or \"We'll be there between\ntwo and\n\nsix\"! (quiet anger) And I sat there, hour after hour, without\nso much as a\n\nphone call. Finally, they show up, no apology, tracking mud all\nover my nice\n\nclean floors.

I wish I looked like that.\n\nGeorge daren't say anything, but from his expression it's clear\nhe wishes\n\nSusan looked like that.\n\nSUSAN\nTurn it off. You're making me jealous.\nI'm gonna think you like her\n\nmore than you like me.\n\nSusan leaves to the bedroom.\n\nGEORGE\n(forcing a laugh) Hu, ha.\n\nWhen Susan has gone, George picks up the phone and dials, keeping\nan eye\n\nopen in case Susan returns.\n\n(George's Apartment/Elaine's Apartment)\n\nELAINE\nHello.\n\nGEORGE\n(whispering) Elaine, it's me, George.\n\nElaine is sitting up in bed, reading a newspaper as she speaks\nto George.\n\nELAINE\nGeorge.

He\n\nstands, holding one bill, trying to recall. Elaine has obviously\nbeen paying\n\nmore attention, even as she dialled the phone.\n\nELAINE\nEight-fifty.\n\nJERRY\nOh, right.\n\nElaine waits for the phone to be picked up.\n\nELAINE\nSo uh, how are you getting to the airport?\nD'you need a ride, or...\n\nJERRY\nNo, don't be silly, I've arranged a\ncar.\n\nAs Jerry goes to leave the kitchen, Elaine is sure to keep in\nhis path,\n\nsmiling flirtatiously.\n\nELAINE\nYou sure? You sure? 'Cos, you know...\n\nJERRY\nMaybe I'll let you pick me up.\n\nELAINE\n(big smile) Okay.\n\nJerry is finally allowed out of the kitchen by Elaine, and heads\nfor the\n\nbedroom. The phone is picked up at the other end of Elaine's\nline. As Elaine\n\nspeaks, George stands beside her, doing a little selection of\ndances.\n\nELAINE\nOh, hi. Uhm, is Katy there? (listens)\nWh...? Uhm, what? (listens)\n\nOh, really?\n\nSomething about the tone of her voice causes George to cease\ndancing.\n\nELAINE\nWell, could you tell her Elaine called?\nYeah, thanks.\n\nElaine turns to an expectant George.\n\nELAINE\nHuh, she's in the hospital. (concerned)\nShe has an arrhythmia.\n\nGEORGE\n(impatient) What about Marisa Tomei?!\n\n(Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nMorty is eating a cookie at the kitchen table. Helen comes over\nand grabs\n\nthe box he's eating from.\n\nHELEN\nMorty, what d'you have to open this\nbox for? (waving at another box)\n\nThere's already a box of cookies open.\n\nMORTY\nI wanted a Chip Ahoy.\n\nHELEN\nI don't like all these open boxes.\n\nHelen puts both boxes of cookies away in a cupboard.\n\nMORTY\nLook, I got a few good years left. If\nI want a Chip Ahoy, I'm having\n\nit.\n\nThe door opens and Jerry enters, carrying his bags.\n\nJERRY\nSurprise!\n\nMORTY\n(shout) Jerry!\n\nHELEN\n(shock) Oh, my god!\n\nMORTY\nWhat the hell are you doing here?\n\nJERRY\nI'm a good son.\n\nHELEN\nJust like that? No calls?\n\nJERRY\nJust like that.\n\nMORTY\nBoy, you are really something.\n\nHELEN\nTo what do we owe this great honour?\n\nJERRY\nYou wanna know? Come on outside.\n\nMORTY\nOutside? What's going on?\n\nHELEN\nWhenever Jerry comes, something exciting\nhappens.\n\nHelen darts out of the door eagerly.\n\nMORTY\n(laughs) Heh hah!\n\nJERRY\nC'mon, c'mon.\n\nMorty follows Helen outside.\n\n(Outside Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nStanding at the kerb is a brand new, silver, Cadillac, gleaming\nin the\n\nFloridian sunshine. Jerry leads Morty and Helen over to it.\n\nJERRY\nWell, what d'you think?\n\nMORTY\nLook at this! Look at this! (excited)\nYou bought a Cadillac?!\n\nJERRY\nI bought it for you. It's yours.\n\nMorty and Helen both look astonished.\n\nMORTY\nYou what? You bought me a Cadillac?\n\nJERRY\nI bought you a Cadillac. (hands over\nthe keys) Here you go.\n\nHELEN\n(sharply, to Jerry) Are you out of your\nmind?\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nMORTY\n(to Helen) You don't want it? Are you\nkidding?\n\nHELEN\nHe's not buying us a Cadillac.\n\nMORTY\nWhat are you, nuts?\n\nHELEN\nIt's a very nice gesture Jerry, but\ntake it back.\n\nHelen wrests the keys from Morty's grasp and hands them back\nto Jerry.\n\nMORTY\n(to Jerry) Can you believe this?!\n\nHELEN\nI'm not letting him buy us a Cadillac.\nHe hasn't got that kind of\n\nmoney.\n\nJERRY\nHow d'you know?\n\nHELEN\nOh, get out of here Mister Big Shot.\n\nJERRY\nWhy can't I buy my father a car?\n\nHELEN\nYour father doesn't need a car.\n\nMORTY\nYes, I do!\n\nMorty grabs the keys back from Jerry.\n\nHELEN\nOh, Morty.\n\nMORTY\nWe're keeping it.\n\nHELEN\nOver my dead body.\n\nHelen makes another grab for the keys, and she and Morty struggle\nfor\n\npossession, watched by Jerry.\n\nJERRY\n(under his breath) Well, this worked\nout just as I had hoped.\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nKramer sits on his couch reading a newspaper. Beside him, on\na table, are\n\nhis phone and an answering machine. The phone rings, but Kramer\ndoesn't\n\nanswer, instead allowing the machine to pick up.\n\nMACHINE\nGiddyup.\n\nNICK\nYeah, this is Nick Stevens, from Plaza\nCable.\n\nKramer smiles on hearing the voice.\n\nNICK\nWell, I waited all morning again. You\nsaid you were gonna be\n\nthere from nine to one.\n\nKramer puts down his paper and stretches out on the couch to\nlisten.\n\nNICK\nI was there. Where were you? You think\nI got nothing better to\n\ndo than stand outside all morning, waiting for you to show up?!\n\nKramer waves his fist, mocking the cable guy's anger. He laughs\nto himself.\n\nNICK\nYou're not gonna get away with this!\n\n(Outside Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nMorty is sitting in the Cadillac, with Jerry leaning on the door.\nThey're\n\ngoing through the features of the car.\n\nMORTY\nHey Jerry, look at this. My seat's got\na memory, in case somebody\n\nmoves it. I could be in prison for five years. I come out, my\nseat goes\n\nright back to where I like it.\n\nJERRY\nThat's what I was thinking.\n\nJack Klompus approaches the car.\n\nJACK\n(pointing) Hello, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHiya, Jack.\n\nMorty gets out of the car, shuts the door and leans against it.\n\nMORTY\n(indicating) So, how d'you like this?\n\nJACK\nWho's car?\n\nMORTY\nIt's mine.\n\nJACK\nYours?\n\nMORTY\nThat's right. My son bought it for me.\n\nJACK\nHe what?\n\nMORTY\nMy son bought me the car. It's a present.\n\nJACK\n(disbelief) You bought it?\n\nJERRY\nThat's right. I bought it.\n\nMORTY\nYou ever see one so nice?\n\nJACK\nSome car.\n\nMORTY\nYou wanna take a ride?\n\nJACK\nNo, thank you.\n\nMORTY\nC'mon, take a ride.\n\nJACK\nI don't wanna take a ride.\n\nMORTY\nWhy not?\n\nJACK\nI don't feel like taking a ride. Do\nI have to take a ride?!\n\nJERRY\nHe doesn't wanna take a ride.\n\nMORTY\nUh huh.\n\nJACK\n(worked up) What d'you think? I've never\nridden in a Cadillac before?\n\nBelieve me, I've ridden in a Cadillac hundreds of times. Thousands.\n\nMORTY\n(skeptical) Thousands?!\n\nJACK\nWhat? D'you think you're such a big\nshot now, because you got a\n\nCadillac?\n\nMORTY\n(dismissive) Ahh!\n\nJACK\n(dismissive) Yaah!\n\nJack angrily stalks away.\n\nMORTY\nCould you believe that guy?\n\nJERRY\nAahh!\n\n(Hospital Room)\n\nGeorge sits, talking enthusiastically to someone.\n\nGEORGE\nAnyway, I was thinking about what you\nsaid. About uh, me and Marisa.\n\nThe person he's talking to is Katy, who's unconscious, wearing\nan oxygen\n\nmask and has an intravenous drip in her.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, about the uh, two of us getting\ntogether. And I know that\n\nI said I was engaged, but (laughs) uh, you know, it's really\njust something\n\nyou say. It's like, going steady. You know uh, going steady,\nengaged, it's,\n\nit's all just stuff you say. (chuckles) Anyway, I was watching\nuh, My Cousin\n\nVinnie, on the uh, on the tape the other day, and I was thinking\nthat uh,\n\nyou know, the two of us might take a meeting, as they say. (chuckles)\nSo,\n\nwhat d'you, what d'you think?\n\nKaty is still unconscious.\n\nGEORGE\n(urgent) Move a pinkie, if it's yes.\nCan you move a pinkie?\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nKramer is reading a magazine on the couch. The phone rings and\nhe answers\n\nit.\n\nKRAMER\nY'hello.\n\nNICK\n(inexpertly disguising his voice) Hi,\nuh ah, Mister Kramer, ah,\n\nthis is McNab down at the phone company. We've got a report about\nsome\n\ntrouble on your line.\n\nKramer smiles, as he recognises the voice.\n\nKRAMER\nHmm. Well, I haven't had any trouble.\n\nNICK\nUh, the thing is, we happen to have\na man right in your\n\nneighbourhood.\n\nKramer walks over to his window, and uses his fingers to open\na couple of\n\nblades on his blinds. Peering through, he can see a public phone\nbox across\n\nthe street. Parked beside the box is a truck emblazoned with\nthe Plaza Cable\n\ninsignia, and in the box is the familiar figure of Nick, the\ncable guy.\n\nKRAMER\n(playing along) Ohh, is that right?\nWell, I have been having a\n\nlittle trouble with my call-waiting.\n\nNICK\nWe can fix that. We can fix that.\n\nKRAMER\n(sitting back on the couch) Oh, can\nyou? That's funny, because, as\n\nit happens, I don't have call-waiting. Seems to me that the phone\ncompany\n\nwould know that.\n\nNICK\nOh, right. (laughing it off) I'm sorry,\nI was looking at the wrong\n\nwork order.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Could you hold on for a second?\nI've got something on the\n\nstove.\n\nKramer puts the phone down beside a radio and switches it on.\nIt plays\n\ncheesy music into the phone. Kramer gets up and heads out the\ndoor.\n\n(Street)\n\nNick, the cable guy, stands in the phone box. He's listening\nto the cheesy\n\nmusic on the phone, and getting impatient. He glances at his\nwatch.\n\nSuddenly, a car horn blares and a shout is heard.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, McNab!\n\nTHe cable guy turns, to see Kramer leaning out of the window\nof a cab as it\n\npasses.\n\nKRAMER\nChunnel's on HBO tonight. Why don't\nyou stop by?\n\nKramer waves and smiles happily at the dumbstruck cable guy,\nas the cab\n\naccelerates away.\n\n(Tenant's Committee, Florida)\n\nAround a table sit a number of residents, including an unhappy\nlooking Jack\n\nKlompus. Morty is standing behind a lectern addressing the gathering.\nHe\n\nbangs a gavel to get their attention.\n\nMORTY\nAlright. Next thing on the agenda, the\nrestoration of the fence at\n\nthe Briarwood gate. At the present time, we are still accepting\nbids.\n\nHERB\nC'mon Morty, it's been broken for six\nmonths already. What the hell\n\nare you doing?\n\nMORTY\nWell, I, as your president, have to\nfind the best price, and right\n\nnow, I for one, do not think it's cost-feasible.\n\nJACK\n(half to himself) I'll bet you don't.\n\nMORTY\nWhat was that?\n\nJACK\nC'mon Morty, the jig is up!\n\nMORTY\nWhat're you talking about?\n\nJACK\nI'm sorry. I'm sitting here, the whole\nmeeting, holding my tongue.\n\nI've known you a long time, Morty, but I cannot hold it in any\nlonger.\n\nHERB\nWhat's going on, Jack?\n\nJACK\nI'll tell you what's going on. Morty\nSeinfeld has been stealing funds\n\nfrom the treasury.\n\nMORTY\nStealing?!\n\nRALPH\nWhat proof do you have?\n\nJACK\nProof? You want proof? He's driving\naround in a brand new Cadillac.\n\nNow what more proof do you want?\n\nMORTY\nMy son bought me that car!\n\nJACK\nYour son?\n\nMORTY\nYeah.\n\nJACK\nYour son could never afford that car.\nWe all saw his act, last year,\n\nat the playhouse. He's lucky he can pay his rent!\n\nHERB\nJack's right!

(looks at\nTV) Only You? That's another\n\nMarisa Tomei movie, and you've seen that one too. (jokingly)\nWhat, d'you\n\nhave a thing for her?\n\nGEORGE\n(laughing it off and trying too hard)\nYeah, yeah. I have a thing for\n\nMarisa Tomei. Like she would ever go out with a short, stocky,\nbald man.\n\n(forced laughter) Hu hu, ha ha. Like that's her type. Huh. She's\nan Oscar\n\nwinner. (nervous laughter) He heh. Besides, I don't even know\nher. It's not\n\nlike anyone's trying to fix us up. Who, who would try and fix\nme up with\n\nMarisa Tomei?\n\nSUSAN\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nSusan wanders away into the kitchen with the groceries, looking\nbemused by\n\nGeorge. George watches her go, staring at the kitchen door as\nhe slips off\n\ninto a daydream.\n\n(George Dream Sequence)\n\nGeorge stares at the kitchen door, which glows with golden light.\nThen\n\nMarisa Tomei slinks out of the kitchen in a long black dress,\nand her hair\n\nup. She comes and sits beside George on the couch, looking at\nhim lovingly.\n\nMARISA\nHave I told you how much I love you\ntoday?\n\nGEORGE\nNot in the last fifteen minutes.\n\nMARISA\nWell, I do love you very much.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd I love you, Marisa.\n\nMARISA\nWell then, c'mon, get dressed. We're\ngoing to be late for the\n\npremiere.\n\nGeorge leans across and takes Marisa in his arms. They kiss and\nslowly\n\nrecline onto the couch.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nSusan returns from the kitchen, to find George kissing, and slowly\nreclining\n\nonto the couch with, a cushion. George runs a hand across his\nhead, in the\n\nfashion of a loving Marisa's caress. Then he raises his head\nfrom the\n\ncushion to see Susan observing him. She turns and goes back into\nthe\n\nkitchen, wordlessly. George puts the cushion on the arm of the\ncouch and\n\nlies down.\n\n(Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nJerry sits on the couch and Helen is in the kitchen, as an anxious\nMorty\n\ndelivers his news.\n\nHELEN\nImpeachment?\n\nMORTY\nThat's right. Have you ever heard of\nanything like that?\n\nHELEN\nCan they do that?\n\nMORTY\nIf they get the votes.\n\nHELEN\nI told you we shouldn't have let him\ngive us the car.\n\nJERRY\nDidn't you tell 'em I got the bill of\nsale? That proves I paid for\n\nit.\n\nMORTY\nIt doesn't make a difference. They think\nwe're in cahoots.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, you could put a fence around\nthese condos, and call it an insane\nasylum. Nobody would know the difference!\n\nMORTY\nNo-one's ever been impeached before.\nI couldn't live here. We'd have to move\nto Boca.\n\nThere's a knock at the door, and then it is opened and Evelyn\nwalks in.\n\nEVELYN\nHello?\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi Evelyn.\n\nMorty sits by the table.\n\nEVELYN\nHello, Jerry. (to the senior Seinfelds)\nI just got off the phone with Saul Brandus.\n\nHELEN\nWhat'd he say?\n\nEVELYN\nHe's voting to impeach.\n\nMorty thumps the table with his fist.\n\nEVELYN\nNot because he think you stole the money,\nbut mainly because you never thanked\nhim for giving you his aisle seat at\nFreddy Roman's show.\n\nMORTY\nI did so thank him!\n\nHELEN\n(admonishing) No, he never heard you.\n(prods Morty's back) I told you he didn't\nhear you.\n\nMORTY\nAh, he's deaf anyway.\n\nEVELYN\nNow, my sources tell me, there's three\nvotes for impeachment, three votes against\nimpeachment, and one undecided.\n\nMORTY\nWho's that?\n\nEVELYN\nMrs Choate.\n\nJERRY\nWho's she?\n\nMORTY\nOh, that one. She's been a member of\nthe board longer than anybody. She's\nvery tough to deal with.\n\nHELEN\nMaybe we should have her over for coffee,\nand explain our side of it?\n\nMORTY\nThat's a good idea.\n\nEVELYN\nOkay. I'll see you at the Lichtenberg's,\ntonight.\n\nHELEN\n(surprise) The Lichtenberg's?\n\nEVELYN\nYes, they're having a party.\n\nHELEN\nWe weren't invited.\n\nEVELYN\nOh.

Right?\n\nGeorge avoids Elaine's gaze, looking down.\n\n(Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nHelen is in the kitchen, putting cookies on a plate, as a restless\nMorty fusses\n\naround.\n\nMORTY\nWhat're you doing? Are you making coffee?\n\nHELEN\nYeah.\n\nMORTY\nWell, maybe you better make a pot of\ntea, too.\n\nHELEN\nMorty, you're driving me crazy.\n\nMORTY\nLook, I don't want anything to go wrong.\nIf this woman votes to impeach\n\nme, I'll be a laughing stock.\n\nHELEN\nYou wanna drive a Cadillac? Expect to\npay the consequences.\n\nThe doorbell chimes.\n\nMORTY\nThere she is.\n\nMorty and Helen both go to the door. Morty opens it and Mrs Choate\nenters.\n\nMORTY\nHello. Hello, Mrs Choate.\n\nHELEN\nOh, come in, come in. May I take your\ncoat.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nNo, no. I prefer to wear it. Nobody's\ntaking my coat.\n\nHELEN\nAh, how 'bout a cup of coffee or something?\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nCoffee? Ach. I'll take hot water with\nlemon, if you have it.\n\nHELEN\nI'll see. (indicating the couch) Have\na seat. That's a lovely scarf\n\nyou're wearing. Where did you get it?\n\nHelen goes to the kitchen as Mrs Choate sits on the couch.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nAhh, they're a dime a dozen.\n\nJerry enters.\n\nHELEN\nOh, hi Jerry. Mrs Choate, (indicating)\nthis is my son, Jerry.\n\nMrs Choate turns to look at Jerry. Jerry looks astonished as\nhe recognises Mrs\n\nChoate. He remembers an incident from \"The Rye\".\n\n(New York Street, \"The Rye\")\n\nJerry grapples with Mrs Choate, for possession of a bag.\n\nJERRY\nGimme that rye!\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nStop it. Let go. Help! Someone, help!\n\nJerry wrests the bag from the old lady's grip.\n\nJERRY\nShut up, you old bag!\n\nJerry races away down the street with the rye.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\n(shouting after him) Thief! Stop him!\nStop him, he's got my rye!\n\n(Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nJerry manages to regain a normal expression.\n\nJERRY\nNice to meet you.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nHello.\n\nMORTY\n(holding Jerry's shoulders) Jerry lives\nin New York. You just came from\n\nNew York, didn't you?\n\nJerry looks desperate. The last thing he needs is Mrs Choate\nconnecting him with\n\nNew York.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nYeah. I was visiting my daughter, and\nI'll never go back. The crime\n\nthere is just terrible. Do you know I got mugged for a marble\nrye, right on the\n\nstreet?\n\nJerry gives a look of sympathy. Helen brings a couple of saucers\nand cups from\n\nthe kitchen, placing them on the table before Mrs Choate.\n\nHELEN\n(sympathy) Oh, that's terrible. They\nstole a rye? Why would they steal a\n\nrye?\n\nMORTY\nThat's what the city's turning into.\nThey'll steal anything.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nThey're like savages.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, there's some sickos out there.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\n(peering at Jerry) You look very familiar.\nHave we ever met?\n\nJERRY\nYou ever go to Camp Tiyoga?\n\nHELEN\nMaybe you've seen him on television.\n\nMORTY\nJerry's a comedian.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nNaw, I don't watch TV.\n\nJerry has moved rapidly to the door.\n\nJERRY\n(opening the door) Well, it was nice\nmeeting you.\n\nMORTY\nJerry, don't go.\n\nJERRY\nAh, I think I'll go.\n\nJerry darts out and shuts the door behind him.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nSo, Morty, what's this all about? What\nd'you want?\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nSusan sits on the couch, reading. She spots George, in his coat,\nheading for the\n\ndoor.\n\nSUSAN\nHey, where're you going?\n\nGEORGE\nWha..? I didn't tell you? I gotta go\nmeet Elaine.\n\nSUSAN\nElaine? What for?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. She..She's having some\nproblems with this guy she's\n\nseeing.\n\nSUSAN\nI didn't even know she was dating anyone.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah. She's seeing this guy, Art\nVandelay.\n\nSUSAN\nSo what does he do?\n\nGEORGE\nHe's an importer-exporter.\n\nSUSAN\nWhat kind of problems are they having?\n\nGEORGE\n(not happy delivering Elaine's lie)\nWell, he uh, he wants to uh, quit\n\nthe exporting and uh, focus just on the importing. And it's a\nproblem, because\n\nshe thinks the exporting is as important as the importing.\n\nSusan looks unconvinced.\n\nSUSAN\nAre you having an affair with Elaine?\n\nGEORGE\n(trying to laugh it off) Right. C'mon!\nI'm having an affair with\n\nElaine?! If I was having an affair with Elaine, I wouldn't tell\nyou I'm going to\n\nsee Elaine. I would make up some other person to tell you I was\ngonna go see,\n\nand then I would go see Ela..Elaine.\n\nSUSAN\nHuh?\n\nGeorge gives a smile and slides out the door.\n\n(Street)\n\nKramer strolls along the street, carrying a big bag of groceries.\nHe becomes\n\naware that a vehicle is slowly driving along the road just behind\nhim. Kramer\n\nshifts his load of groceries, so that a shiny baking tray is\nin a position he\n\ncan use it as a mirror. Behind him, he can see the blurry image\nof a Plaza Cable\n\ntruck. Kramer begins to walk faster, then breaks into a run.\n\n(Another Street)\n\nKramer slows from his run, and looks behind himself. A smile\ncomes to his face,\n\nas he sees the truck is no longer there. He allows himself a\nlittle shrug of\n\nsatisfaction at having beaten the cable guy. Kramer turns and\nbegins to walk on,\n\nwith his groceries, when there is a screech of tyres and the\ncable truck comes\n\nto a halt in front of him - having taken another route to head\nhim off.\n\nThe cable guy gives a 'come here' gesture with his forefinger\nthrough the truck\n\nwindow. Kramer turns and sets off running. He runs into a litter\nbin, drops his\n\ngroceries and falls to the floor. The cable guy climbs from his\ntruck and begins\n\nto advance on Kramer. Kramer picks himself up and, abandoning\nhis groceries,\n\nsets off running again, with the cable guy in pursuit.\n\n(Variety of New York locations)\n\nKramer runs across a busy thoroughfare, followed, seconds later,\nby the cable\n\nguy.\n\nKramer hauls himself over a wall in a park, looks around, and\nthen sets off\n\nrunning. Moments later, the cable guy struggles over the same\nwall and sets off\n\nafter Kramer.\n\nKramer runs across an expanse of grass in the park, with the\ncable guy just a\n\nfew yards behind.\n\nKramer runs across a New York rooftop. He comes to the edge of\nthe roof and\n\nlooks for a way across to the next building. Kramer looks worriedly\nbehind him,\n\nfor the pursuing cable guy, then down into the gap between buildings.\nDespite\n\nhis worry at the height, he steps back a few paces, takes a run-up,\nand leaps\n\nacross to land on the roof of the next building. Kramer picks\nhimself up and\n\nsets off running again. Behind him, the cable guy comes to the\nsame gap, looks\n\ndown at how far he has to fall, and thinks better of attempting\nthe leap.\n\nNICK\n(yelling after the fleeing Kramer) I'll\nget you! I'll get you Kramer! You\n\nwon't get away with this!\n\n(Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nMorty is fastening a jacket as he enters.\n\nMORTY\nAlright, are you ready to eat?\n\nHELEN\n(glancing at her watch) Oh, right, let's\ngo. Jerry, let's go, it's time\n\nto eat. We're going to dinner.\n\nJerry wanders into the room. He's in a t-shirt and sweatpants,\nand holding a\n\ncomic book he's been reading.\n\nJERRY\n(confused) Dinner? W..What time is it?\n\nHELEN\n(pulling on a coat) It's four-thirty.\n\nJERRY\n(bewildered) Four-thirty? Who eats dinner\nat four-thirty?\n\nMORTY\nBy the time we sit down, it'll be quarter\nto five.\n\nJERRY\nI don't understand why we have to eat\nnow.\n\nHELEN\nWe gotta catch the early-bird. It's\nonly between four-thirty and six.\n\nMORTY\nYeah. They give you a tenderloin, a\nsalad and a baked potato, for\n\nfour-ninety-five. You know what that cost you after six?\n\nJERRY\nCan't we eat at a decent hour? I'll\ntreat, okay?\n\nHELEN\nYou're not buying us dinner.\n\nJERRY\n(emphatic) I'm not force-feeding myself\na steak at four-thirty to save a\n\ncoupla bucks, I'll tell you that!\n\nHELEN\nAlright, (sitting on the couch) we'll\nwait. (pointedly) But it's unheard\n\nof.\n\nJerry shakes his head, incredulous, and wanders away with his\ncomic book.\n\n(Park)\n\nGeorge sits on a bench with Marisa Tomei. He's mid-speech, and\nMarisa's looking\n\ninterested, smiling and laughing.\n\nGEORGE\n...So, anyway, if you think about it,\nmanure is not really that bad a\n\nword. I mean, it's 'newer', which is good, and a 'ma' in front\nof it, which is\n\nalso good. Ma-newer, right?\n\nMARISA\n(laughing) You're so right. I never\nthought of it like that. Manure.\n\n'Ma' and the 'newer'.\n\nMarisa laughs and George is smiling happily.\n\nMARISA\nDid you just make that up?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, you think I'm doing material here?\n\nMARISA\n(laughs) No, no. It's hard to believe\nanyone could be so spontaneously\n\nfunny.\n\nGEORGE\n(modest) And I'm a little tired.\n\nMarisa laughs again, then speaks, still smiling, but more seriously.\n\nMARISA\nSo, tell me, how is it that a man like\nyou, so bald, and so quirky and\n\nfunny, how is it you're not taken?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, Marisa. See, the thing is... I'm\nsort of engaged.\n\nMarisa's face falls in disappointment.\n\nMARISA\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm, you know, engaged.\n\nMarisa's expression turns to anger. She swings a fist and punches\nGeorge in the\n\nface, then grabs her bag and storms away. George feels the painful\nspot where he\n\nreceived the blow.\n\n(Outside Scott's, Florida)\n\nA few people stand around outside. The Seinfeld's Cadillac drives\nup to the\n\nfront of the restaurant. There's a gap in the parked cars, right\nby the\n\nentrance.\n\nJERRY\nHey look, there's a spot right in front.\n\nMORTY\nAlways, Jerry. Always.\n\nThe Cadillac pulls into the space. From the entrance of Scott's\nemerge Jack and\n\nDoris Klompus, Jack using a toothpick\n\nDORIS\nWas that delicious or what?\n\nJACK\nWhere you gonna get a better meal than\nthat?\n\nDORIS\nBetter than Danny's.\n\nJACK\nDanny's? (scoffs) C'mon!\n\nThe Seinfelds walk toward the entrance, where they meet the Klompus\nduo.\n\nMORTY\nHello Jack.\n\nHELEN\nDoris.\n\nDORIS\nHello, hello.\n\nJERRY\nJack.\n\nDORIS\nHello, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHi Doris.\n\nJACK\nHello Morty. (looking at watch) Well,\nmissed the early bird.\n\nMORTY\nYeah, so?\n\nJACK\n(pointed) Must be nice to have that\nkind of money.\n\nJack calls over to one of the people outside the restaurant.\n\nJACK\nBernie, look who's eating at six o'clock.\n(pointed) Your suddenly\n\nwell-to-do president. But, you enjoy your last meal in office.\nTomorrow, they\n\nkick you out, you'll have plenty of time to drive around in your\nCadillac.\n\nMorty is looking confident, even smug.\n\nMORTY\nThey're not kicking me out. You don't\nhave the votes.\n\nJACK\nThat's what you think.\n\nMORTY\nWe'll see.\n\nJACK\nYes, we will.\n\nJERRY\nAwright, let's eat already.\n\nThe Seinfelds enter Scott's, and Jack and Doris walk past the\nCadillac.\n\n(Elaine's Apartment)\n\nElaine answers a knock at the door, to find a slightly anxious\nlooking Susan.\n\nELAINE\nHi, Susan.\n\nSUSAN\nHi.\n\nELAINE\nHi. Come in, come in. Have a seat.\n\nSusan walks in, and crosses to the couch. Elaine closes the door.\n\nSUSAN\n(standing) Uh, Elaine, I have to ask\nyou a question.\n\nELAINE\nOh, sure.\n\nSUSAN\n(dead serious) Are you having an affair\nwith George?\n\nELAINE\n(disbelief) Wha...?! (uncontrolled laughter)\nHa ha ha. Ha, no.\n\nElaine has to sit on the arm of a chair, she's laughing so hard.\n\nELAINE\n(laughter) Don't be ridiculous! (laughter)\nI mean, why would anyone\n\nwanna sleep...\n\nElaine realises who she's speaking to, and the laughter dies\naway.\n\nELAINE\n...Well, obviously... You know... (disbelief)\nAp..ap, Chu... Why would\n\nyou think I was having an affair with George?\n\nSUSAN\nOhh, because he said that he had to\ntalk with you earlier about some\n\nproblem that you were having.\n\nELAINE\n(recalling the arranged lie) Yeah, yeah,\nI did have to talk with him. I\n\ndefinitely had to talk with him. Having a problem with my boyfriend.\n\nSUSAN\nArt Vandelay?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, Art Vandelay.\n\nSUSAN\nI'm sorry. (laughing it off) I feel\nlike an idiot.\n\nELAINE\n(smiling) No, no. (laughing) Huh-hu-hu.\nIt's okay.\n\nSUSAN\nOh, just forget that we ever talked.\nOkay?\n\nELAINE\nIt is so forgotten.\n\nSUSAN\nAlright.\n\nSusan moves toward the door.\n\nELAINE\nOkay. (relieved) Okay, no problem.\n\nSusan has the door open, when a thought occurs to her.\n\nSUSAN\nSo, was George helpful at all?\n\nELAINE\n(unconvincing) Yeah. Oh, yes, yes, he\nwas very helpful. (hesitant) Uhm,\n\nbecause, you know, Art and I were getting into this whole thing\nabout his\n\nbusiness. Uhm, you know he's an importer-exporter.\n\nSUSAN\n(not convinced) Yeah.\n\nELAINE\n(explaining, with gestures) Uhm, George\nfelt that I was too adamant in\n\nmy stand that Art should focus on the exporting and forget about\nthe importing.\n\nSUSAN\n(spotting an inconsistency) Wait a minute.\nI thought that Art wanted to\n\ngive up the exporting.\n\nELAINE\nWhat'd I say?\n\nSUSAN\nThe importing.\n\nELAINE\n(caught out) I did. Uh...\n\nSUSAN\nSo, what does he uh, import?\n\nELAINE\n(extemporising) Uh... chips.\n\nSUSAN\nOh. What kinda chips?\n\nELAINE\nPotato.\n\nSUSAN\nAh.\n\nELAINE\n(embroidering) Some corn.\n\nSUSAN\nAnd what does he export?\n\nELAINE\nDiapers.\n\nSUSAN\n(fake smile) I'm sorry for bothering\nyou.\n\nELAINE\nOh, no, it's okay.\n\nSusan and Elaine both use fake laughs, as Susan leaves and closes\nthe door.\n\nELAINE\nOkay.\n\nThe moment the door closes behind Susan, Elaine races to her\nphone and dials a\n\nnumber hurriedly. She stands, listening to the ring, desperate\nfor a response.\n\nELAINE\n(to herself) C'mon, George, pick up.\nOh, pick up. Oh, pick up.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nSusan stands sifting through some magazines, when the door opens\nand George\n\nenters. He's still feeling his face where Marisa punched him.\n\nGEORGE\nHi.\n\nSUSAN\nHi. (pointedly) So, George, what does\nArt Vandelay import?\n\nGeorge looks surprised by the question, and thinks for a moment\nbefore replying.\n\nGEORGE\nMatches? Long matches.\n\nSusan raises her arm, and delivers the second punch that George\nhas received\n\ntoday. George is thrown backwards out of the door by the blow,\nand Susan slams\n\nthe door behind him.\n\n(Tenant's Committee, Florida)\n\nAround the table are the board of phase two. Morty and Jack sit\nbeside each\n\nother. Herb is chairing the meeting, and several other representatives\nare\n\npresent, some chatting with each other. Herb spots Mrs Choate\ncoming in through\n\nthe door.\n\nHERB\n...There she is. Okay, if I can have\nyour attention for a minute here.\n\nWe're calling this emergency meeting of the board of phase two,\nto consider a\n\nmotion of impeachment of our president, (indicating) Morty Seinfeld.\n\nMrs Choate sits beside Morty.\n\nMORTY\nNervous, Jack?\n\nJACK\nWhat for?\n\nMORTY\nBecause I have the votes.\n\nMorty turns to Mrs Choate.\n\nMORTY\nNice to see you, Mrs Choate.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nHello, Morty.\n\nJack looks surprised at the friendliness between Morty and Mrs\nChoate.\n\nHERB\nBuilding A. Are you for, or against,\nthe motion to impeach?\n\nRALPH\nWhat does that mean?\n\nHERB\nIt means, if you're for the motion,\nyou're against Morty.\n\nRALPH\nSo why don't you say that?\n\nHERB\nHey, I'm running the meeting.\n\nRALPH\nIf you think so.\n\nHERB\nBuilding A?\n\nBUILDING A\nFor impeachment.\n\nHERB\nBuilding B?\n\nBUILDING B\nAgainst impeachment.\n\nHERB\nBuilding C?\n\nBUILDING C\nFor impeachment.\n\nHERB\nBuilding D?\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nAgainst impeachment.\n\nJACK\n(a whisper to Morty) I can't believe\nyou got that old bag.\n\nMrs Choate overhears Jack's comment, and it stirs a memory. She\nthinks back.\n\n(New York Street, \"The Rye\")\n\nJerry and Mrs Choate struggle for possession of a bag containing\na marble rye.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nHelp! Someone help!\n\nJERRY\nShut up, you old bag!\n\nJerry wrests the bag from Mrs Choate and takes off down the street.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\n(after Jerry) Oh, thief! Thief!\n\n(Tenant's Committee, Florida)\n\nMrs Choate wears a look of shocked realisation. She stands and\naddresses Morty.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\nIt's him. (pointing at Morty) It's your\nson. Now I know where I saw\n\nhim. He stole my marble rye.\n\nMORTY\nMy son never stole anything. He's a\ngood boy.\n\nRALPH\nThey should lock him up.\n\nMRS. CHOATE\n(pointing at Morty) Like father, like\nson. (thumps table) I change\n\nmy vote. I vote to impeach!\n\nBUILDING B\nMe too. I change my vote.\n\nHERB\nAll those in favour, say aye.\n\nALL\nAye.\n\nHERB\nAll opposed.\n\nMorty forlornly raises his hand.\n\nHERB\nThe ayes have it. The motion passes.\n\nJack smiles a big smug smile of triumph, aimed at Morty.\n\nHERB\nMorty Seinfeld, you are officially dismissed\nas condo president. As\n\nvice-president, Jack Klompus, in accordance with the phase two\nconstitution, is\n\nhereby installed as president.\n\nJack stands to acknowledge the honour.\n\nHERB\nHear, hear, Jack.\n\nJack raises a hand in salute, as the rest of the board applaud\nhim. A\n\ndisgruntled Morty remains silent.\n\n(Hall Outside Jerry's Apartment)\n\nA weary looking Nick, the cable guy, leans against Kramer's door.\nHe knocks and\n\nthere's no response.\n\nNICK\n(weary) Alright, I know you're in there.\nI know you can hear me. You win,\n\nokay? You win. I can't do it any more. What d'you want from me?\nApology?\n\nAlright, I'm sorry. There, I said it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I\nsee now how we\n\nmade you feel when we made you sit home waiting. I dunno why\nwe do it. (upset) I\n\nguess maybe we just kind of enjoy taking advantage of people.\n(reasonable) Well,\n\nthat's gonna change. From now on, no more 'nine to twelve', no\nmore 'one to\n\nfive'. We're gonna have appointments. Eleven o'clock is gonna\nmean eleven\n\no'clock. And, if we can't make it, we're gonna call you, tell\nyou why. (worked\n\nup) For god's sakes, if a doctor can do it, why can't we? (almost\nsobbing)\n\nAnyway, that's it.\n\nThe cable guy sighs, and begins to walk away. Kramer's door opens,\nand Kramer\n\nemerges. He and Nick look at each other apologetically for a\nfew seconds. Then\n\nKramer steps forward and they hug.\n\n(Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nMorty comes in from the bedroom, looking around at his home.\nHelen holds his\n\ncoat as he slips into it. She adjusts his collar and hands him\na blue hat. Jerry\n\nenters through the front door.\n\nJERRY\nThe bags are in the car, I guess we\nbetter go.\n\nJerry leads the way, followed by Helen, who folds a coat over\nher arm. Morty\n\nwaits a second or two, having a final look round the room. He\nstands by the\n\ndoor, then steels himself. Giving a determined nod, he exits,\nclosing the door\n\nbehind him.\n\n(Outside Morty and Helen's, Florida)\n\nThe Seinfelds walk, three abreast, toward the Cadillac. As they\nwalk, they pass\nthe other residents, who have come to see them off. They nod\nacknowledgement. As\nthey get to the car, Helen and Jerry get in, but Morty stands\nin the open door\nof the Cadillac, turns to the assembled throng and gives a big\nsmile, and\narms-wide gesture (like Nixon leaving the White House), before\nclimbing into the\ncar. The residents wave back, one or two of them in tears, and\nMorty slowly drives the Cadillac away.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Shower-Head.html", "text": "THE SHOWER HEAD\n\nWritten by\n\nPeter Mehlman & Marjorie Gross\n\n(Elaine in a doctor's office)\n\nELAINE\nMr. Peterman sent me over here for a\nphysical because as you may or may not\nknow, he and I are going on a trip to\nKenya.

So how's Lydia?\n\nUNCLE LEO\nAh, she's a real tiger.\n\nJERRY\nI don't know how you do it.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nA man like you, limiting yourself to\none woman, I don't know. But it's\n\nnone of my business.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nJERRY\nWell...\n\nUNCLE LEO\nLook at this, I told them medium rare,\nit's medium.\n\nJERRY\nHey, it happens.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nI bet that cook is an anti-Semite.\n\nJERRY\nHe has no idea who you are.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nThey don't just overcook a hamburger,\nJerry.\n\nJERRY\nAll right. Anyway, the point I was making\nbefore Goerbbles made your\n\nhamburger is a man like you could be dating women twenty years\nyounger. C'mon\n\nUncle Leo, I've seen the way women look at you. When's the last\ntime you looked\n\nin a mirror? You're an Adonis! You've got beautiful features,\nlovely skin,\n\nyou're in the prime of your life here, you should be swinging.\nIf I were you\n\nI'd tell this Lydia character, \"It's been real,\" move back into\nthat bachelor\n\npad and put out a sign; Open for business.\n\nUNCLE LEO\nBelieve me, I thought about it. But\nshe is so perfect in every way,\n\nI can't see a flaw.\n\nJERRY\nWell, keep looking.\n\nElaine and Mr. Peterman at work.\n\nPETERMAN\nI'm afraid I have some bad news, Elaine.\nIt appears you will not be\n\naccompanying me to Africa.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Why not?\n\nPETERMAN\nI'm afraid it's your urine, Elaine.\nYou tested positive for opium.\n\nELAINE\nOpium?\n\nPETERMAN\nThat's right, Elaine. White lotus. Yam-yam.\nShanghai Sally.\n\nELAINE\nIhat's impossible, I've never done a\ndrug in my life. Dr. Strugatz\n\nmust have made a mistake.\n\nPETERMAN\nNot a chance. I'm afraid I'll just have\nto find someone else to\n\naccompany me on my journey. The dark continent is no place for\nan addict,\n\nElaine.\n\nELAINE\nObviously, Mr. Peterman, there's something\nwrong with this test. I\n\ndon't take opium. Let me take another one, please? I'll call\nthe doctor right\n\nnow, I'll take a pop urine test.\n\nPETERMAN\nAll right, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nOh, thank you Mr. Peterman. (Drinks\na glass of water) I'll be ready\n\nin three minutes.\n\nGeorge and his parents at their home in Queens.\n\nGEORGE\nWhew! Boy, it's cold outside, huh? Oh,\nthese New York winters, huh.\n\nBitter cold, bitter.\n\nFRANK\nI was out for five minutes before, I\ncouldn't feel my extremities.\n\nESTELLE\nWhat extremities?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know what the temperature in Florida\nis today? Eh? Seventy-nine.\n\nThat's almost eighty. Yeah, I read someplace the life expectancy\nin Florida is\n\neighty-one and in Queens, seventy-three.\n\nESTELLE\nSo George, why are you here?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, I can't stop by and visit my parents?\n(Drops pamphlet on coffee\n\ntable)\n\nESTELLE\nWhat's this.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's where the Seinfeld's are moving.\nThey got a great deal. Yep.\n\nYou know what they got in Florida? Jai-Alai! You bet on the games,\nyou clean\n\nup.\n\nESTELLE\nI don't bet.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat about the dolphins? You could swim\nwith the dolphins down there.\n\nESTELLE\nI don't swim.\n\nGEORGE\nYou could pet them. They come right\nout of the water onto the\n\nsidewalks.\n\nESTELLE\nAre you trying to get rid of us?\n\nGEORGE\nRid? Nah, c'mon, the word is 'care'.\nCare. I care about your\n\ncomfort, be it here in Queens or twelve-hundred miles away.\n\nElaine, back in the doctor's office. The doctor is consulting\na chart and\n\nshaking his head no.\n\nELAINE\nNo?\n\nThe doctor hands Elaine the chart, she looks at it in astonishment.\n\nJerry's apartment. Kramer walks in, his trademark 'high hair'\nis flat.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry? Jerry!\n\nJerry walks in from the back room, his hair is also flat.\n\nKRAMER\nWha, you too?\n\nJERRY\nYeah!\n\nKRAMER\nThese showers are horrible. There's\nno pressure, I can't get the\n\nshampoo out of my hair.\n\nJERRY\nMe either.\n\nKRAMER\nIf I don't have a good shower I am not\nmyself. I feel weak and\n\nineffectual. I'm not Kramer.\n\nJERRY\nYou? What about me? I got the Tonight\nShow tonight. I'm gonna have to\n\nshower in the dressing room.\n\nKRAMER\nAw.\n\nJERRY\nWhere are you going?\n\nKRAMER\nI gotta find another shower.\n\nHallway outside Newman's apartment. Kramer knocks on Newman's\ndoor. Newman\n\nanswers, with flat hair.\n\nKRAMER\nThey got you too?\n\nNEWMAN\nThis stuff is awful! I'm not Newman!\n\nKramer backs away then runs down the hall.\n\nElaine's office, Kramer rushes in.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, Elaine. Yeah.\n\nELAINE\nKramer, you look terrible.\n\nKRAMER\nLook, I need the keys to your apartment,\nI gotta take a shower.\n\nELAINE\nWhat's wrong with your shower?\n\nKRAMER\nThere's no water pressure.\n\nELAINE\nWhy don't you just go see Jerry?\n\nJust as Kramer is about to answer, Mr. Peterman walks past Elaine's\nopen office\n\ndoor and pauses.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry's got nothing. Newman's got nothing.\nYou're the only one I know\n\nwho's got the good stuff, and I need it bad, baby, cause I feel\nlike I got bugs\n\ncrawling up my skin. Now you gotta help me out.\n\nPETERMAN\nNot on my watch! (Grabs Kramer by the\ncollar) I won't\n\nhave you turning my office into a den of iniquity! Get your fix\nsomewhere else!\n\n(Throws Kramer out and slams the door closed)\n\nELAINE\nMr Peterman! What are you doing?\n\nPETERMAN\nElaine, you're out of control. You need\nhelp.\n\nELAINE\nHuh?\n\nPETERMAN\nI know what you're going through. I\ntoo once fell under the spell of\n\nopium. It was 1979. I was travelling the Yangtzee in search of\na Mongolian\n\nhorsehair vest. I had got to the market after sundown, all of\nthe clothing\n\ntraders had gone, but a different sort of trader still lurked\nabout. \"Just a\n\ntaste,\" he said. That was all it took.\n\nELAINE\nMr. Peterman, I don't know what's going\non here. I am not addicted to\n\nanything.\n\nPETERMAN\nOh, Elaine. The toll road of denial\nis a long and dangerous one.\n\ndesk. You're fired.\n\nJerry's dressing room at NBC. Jerry and his parents are there.\n\nHELEN\nAll they serve is chicken?\n\nJERRY\nThere's more food down the hall.\n\nMORTY\nWrap it up, we'll take it home.\n\nGeorge walks in with his parents.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi.\n\nESTELLE\nHello Seinfelds.\n\nMORTY\nHello.\n\nHELEN\nHi.\n\nFRANK\nThis is your dressing room? They treat\nyou like Toscanini.\n\nESTELLE\nOh, Jerry. I don't know how you could\ndo this. I'm so nervous for\n\nyou.\n\nJERRY\nActually, I'm drunk.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, hey, how was Florida?\n\nMORTY\nWell, we just bought a new place down\nthere.\n\nESTELLE\nI know, we were looking at the brochure.\n\nMORTY\nWhat?\n\nHELEN\nWhy, you thinking of moving?\n\nFRANK\nNot really.\n\nMORTY\nBecause if you are, you shouldn't. There's\nnothing available in that\n\ndevelopment.\n\nFRANK\nAre you telling me there's not one condo\navailable in all of Del Boca\n\nVista?\n\nMORTY\nThat's right. They went like hotcakes.\n\nFRANK\nHow'd you get yours?\n\nMORTY\nGot lucky.\n\nFRANK\nAre you trying to keep us out of Del\nBoca Vista?!\n\nJERRY\nI know this doesn't seem like work to\nany of you, if you could perhaps\n\nconduct your psychopath convention down the hall, I could just\nget a little\n\npersonal space.\n\nMonk's coffee shop, Elaine is at the counter eating a muffin\nand talking with a\n\nwaitress.\n\nELAINE\nHow could I have tested positive twice?\nOnce I could understand,\n\nthat's a mistake. But twice?\n\nWAITRESS\nYeah, it's hard to figure.\n\nELAINE\nI mean I lost my job, I can't go to\nAfrica. I was gonna meet the\n\nbushmen of the Kalahari.\n\nWAITRESS\nAh, the bushmen?\n\nELAINE\nAnd the bushwomen.\n\nMAN\nExcuse me. I couldn't help overhearing.\nI\n\nnotice you're eating a poppy seed muffin.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I eat these muffins all the time.\n\nMAN\nWell, you know what opium is made from...\n\nELAINE\nPoppies!\n\nJerry is on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.\n\nJAY\nWelcome back. Talking with Jerry Seinfeld.\nJerry, lemme ask you, I saw\n\nsome people back there, they look like.. family? Is that family?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I got some family backstage. Course\nmy family's nuts; they're\n\ncrazy. Yep. My uncle Leo, (quick take of Uncle Leo in bet with\nLydia, watching\n\nJerry on TV. Lydia is laughing, Leo is not) I had lunch with\nhim the other\n\nday, he's one of these guys that anything goes wrong in life,\nhe blames it on\n\nanti-Semitism. You know what I mean, the spaghetti's not al dente?\nCook's an\n\nanti-Semite. Loses a bet on a horse. Secretariat? Anti-Semitic.\nDoesn't get\n\na good seat at the temple. Rabbi? Anti-Semite.\n\nJerry's apartment. Jerry is on the phone.\n\nJERRY\nHey, listen to this, Uncle Leo broke\nup with his girlfriend because of\n\nthe bit I did. She thought it was funny, so he accused *her*\nof being an\n\nanti-Semite. They had a huge fight and now he's moving back into\nhis apartment.\n\nYou know what this means, my parents are gonna go back to Florida...\nWhat?\n\nWhat number is this? Oh, I'm terribly sorry.\n\nKramer walks in wearing a bathrobe, his hair is still flat.\n\nJERRY\nHey Kramer, my parents are gonna have\nto move back to Florida, isn't\n\nthat great?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well I'm really happy for ya.\n\nJERRY\nHey, you're not giving it to me, man.\nWhat's wrong?\n\nKRAMER\nI just took a bath, Jerry. A bath?\n\nJERRY\nNo good?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's disgusting. I'm sitting there in\na tepid pool of my own filth.\n\nAll kinds of microscopic parasites and organisms having sex all\naround me.\n\nJERRY\nWell, you used to sit in that hot tub?\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, that was superheated water, nothing\ncould live in that.\n\nJERRY\nChicken?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yeah.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nWell, this you're not gonna believe.\nI found out why I was testing\n\npositive for opium. Poppy seeds!\n\nJERRY\nPoppy seeds!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, that makes sense. (Offers plate\nto Elaine) Want some chicken?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. Thanks. So, I'm gonna get tested\nagain later, hopefully I'll\n\nget my job back and I will be on my way to Africa.\n\nThere's a knock at the door, Jerry answers it, it's Newman.\n\nJERRY\nHello Newman.\n\nNEWMAN\nHello Jerry. Well, I may have a solution\nto our little problem.\n\nElaine, would you excuse us?\n\nELAINE\nOh c'mon, Newman.\n\nNEWMAN\nI have a private matter to discuss with\nmy fellow tenants. (Opens\n\ndoor) If you don't mind?\n\nELAINE\nJerry?\n\nNEWMAN\nLook, sister, go get yourself a cup\nof coffee, all right? Beat it!\n\n(Pushes Elaine out the door and closes it) All right, now here's\nthe lowdown.\n\nFrom a certain connection, I've been able to locate some black\nmarket shower\n\nheads. They're all made in the former Yugoslavia, and from what\nI hear the\n\nSerbs are fanatic about their showers.\n\nJERRY\nNot from the footage I've seen.\n\nNEWMAN\nNevertheless, sometime this afternoon,\nbehind the Market Diner, an\n\nunmarked van will be waiting. I'm expecting the call at any time.\nAre you in?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm down.\n\nNEWMAN\nJerry?\n\nJerry nods reluctantly.\n\nFrank and Estelle's house.\n\nESTELLE\nSo, Georgie, we have some big news for\nyou.\n\nGEORGE\nBig news?\n\nESTELLE\nWe're moving to Florida.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? You're moving to Florida!?! That's\nwonderful! I'm\n\nso happy! (pause) For you! I'm so happy for you! Oh, what do\nyou need this\n\ncold weather for?\n\nFRANK\nHas nothing to do with the weather,\nit's because of the Seinfelds.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do you mean?\n\nFRANK\nThey don't want us there, so we're going.\nWe're moving right into Del\n\nBoca Vista!\n\nGEORGE\nSo you're moving there for spite!\n\nFRANK\nAbsolutely.

We're gonna be in the pool. We're gonna be in the\nclubhouse.\n\nWe're gonna be all over that shuffleboard court! And I dare you\nto keep me out!\n\nFrank hangs up, Morty hangs up.\n\nMORTY\nI'm sorry, we can't go back to Florida.\n\nJerry's apartment, Jerry and George are toasting their good fortune.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe I didn't push for this\nsooner.\n\nJERRY\nYou have no idea how your life is gonna\nimprove as a result of this.\n\nFood tastes better. The air seems fresher. You'll have more energy\nand self\n\nconfidence than you ever dreamed of.\n\nThe phone rings, Jerry answers.\n\nJERRY\nHello.\n\nMORTY\nHello, Jerry? It's your father.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi dad.\n\nMORTY\nListen, is it all right if we move in\nwith you for a little while?\n\nSounds of breaking glass, Jerry dropped his bottle.\n\nMORTY\nWhat was that?\n\nJERRY\nNothing. A bottle broke. That's all.\nWhat do you mean, you're gonna\n\nmove in here?\n\nMORTY\nBecause the Costanzas are moving into\nDel Boca Vista.\n\nJERRY\nBut it's a big complex.\n\nMORTY\nYou don't understand, you gotta have\na buffer zone.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, fine. Come over here. (Hangs\nup phone)\n\nGEOPRGE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nThey're not going back to Florida. They're\nmoving here.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? Why?\n\nJERRY\nBecause your parents are going down\nthere.

What are you, out of your\nmind? Look at you, you're\n\ndisgusting. You're bald, you're paunchy, all kinds of sounds\nare emanating from\n\nyour body twenty-four hours a day. If there's a woman that can\ntake your\n\npresence for more than ten consecutive seconds, you should hang\non to her like\n\ngrim death. Which is not far off, by the way.\n\nLEO\nBut she's an anti-Semite.\n\nJERRY\nCan you blame her?\n\nHelen and Morty are unpacking in Jerry's apartment.\n\nHELEN\nYou don't think he minds us staying\nhere, do you?\n\nMORTY\nWhy would he mind? We're his parents.\n\nElaine walks in picking her teeth, she didn't expect to see Jerry's\nparents.\n\nELAINE\nOh.\n\nHELEN\nHi Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nHello.

Pick a\nglass, Mrs. Seinfeld!\n\nKramer, Newman and a 'salesman' are at the back of a van in an\nalley.\n\nSALESMAN\nAll right, I got everything here.

What about thi-\n\nKRAMER\nWell that's what we want, the Commando\n450.\n\nSalesman, Nah, believe me. It's only used in the circus. For\nelephants.\n\nNEWMAN\nWe'll pay anything. We've got the (hands\na wad of money to Kramer)\n\nWhat about Jerry?\n\nKRAMER\nHe couldn't handle that, he's delicate.\n\nHelen and Morty are unpacking in Uncle Leo's apartment.\n\nHELEN\nIt's nice being back at Leo's Jerry's\nplace was too small.\n\nMORTY\nFirst Leo breaks up, then he goes back.\nWhat the hell's going on?\n\nThere's a knock at the door.\n\nMORTY\nWho is it?\n\nSUPER\nIt's the super. We're installing new\nlow-flow showerheads in all the\n\nbathrooms.\n\nMORTY\nLow flow? I don't like the sound of\nthat.\n\nMr. Peterman, in his office, on the telephone.\n\nPETERMAN\nSo as a result of your test being free\nof opium, I am reinstating you.\n\nELAINE\nOh! Yes! What a load off. So when are\nwe going to Africa?\n\nPETERMAN\nI'm afraid I can't take you.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Why not?\n\nPETERMAN\nElaine, according to your urine analysis,\nyou're menopausal. you\n\nhave the metabolism of a sixty-eight year old woman.\n\nELAINE\nBut I wanted to see the bushmen.\n\nPETERMAN\nOh, and one more thing.

The first thing\nI'm gonna do when I get back to\n\nFlorida is take a shower.\n\nJERRY\nWell, at least the Costanzas changed\ntheir mind and decided not to move.\n\nThey couldn't bear being away from George.\n\nHELEN\nGeorge must be happy about that.\n\nJERRY\nYou have no idea.\n\nGeorge's parents' house, George is sitting on the couch between\nFrank and Estelle, he's obviously disappointed.\n\nFRANK\nTake my swim trunks. I won't need them.\n\nESTELLE\nWhat does he want with your swim trunks?\n\nFRANK\nWhy should they go to waste?!?\n\nKramer, in the shower, he's got the Commando 450 shower head\nhooked up. He\nturns it on, the water shoots out full blast and knocks him backwards.\nHe grabs\nthe shower curtain for support and tries to reach forward to\nturn the faucet\noff, but the force of the water is too great, he only succeeds\nin knocking over\na few shampoo bottles. Kramer is eventually pushed back enough\nby the water to\nbecome entangled in the shower curtain until he eventually falls\nout of the\nshower, and out of camera range.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Doll.html", "text": "THE DOLL\n\nWritten by\n\nTom Gammill & Max Pross\n\n(Comedy club)\n\n(Jerry is just now getting done with his act)\n\nJERRY\nThank you!

Did\nyou talk to him?\n\nELAINE\nI didn't talk to anyone - I was just\nwalking by, and I saw the sign, and\nI thought George might get a kick out\nof it.\n\nFRANK\nI gotta get that picture - it could\nbe my cousin, Carlo.\n\nELAINE\nWho is that?\n\nGEORGE\n(Muttering out, not really wanting to\ntalk about his family) When the Costanzas\ncame here, one brother stayed behind.\n\nFRANK\nI played with him every day until the\nage of four - and then we separated.\n\nELAINE\nSo, you weren't born here?\n\nFRANK\nNo. That's why I can never be president..\nIt always irked me. That's why, even\nat an early age, I had no interest in\npolitics. I refuse to vote. (Yelling\nout) They don't want me, I don't want\nthem!\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know what you're getting all\nriled up about. There are probably a\nmillion Costanzas-\n\nFRANK\n(Cutting him off) Don't bring me down.\n(To Elaine) Do you have another copy\nof that photo?\n\nELAINE\nNo, I, I don't. But.. Well, the Maestro\nmight.\n\nFRANK\nThe Maestro? What Maestro?\n\nELAINE\nHe's this guy that I went to Tuscany\nwith. He's a great guy, but I just wouldn't\nfeel comfortable calling him.\n\nGEORGE\nReally? Why?\n\nELAINE\n(Explaining) Because he hasn't called\nme since we got back.. I spilled wine\non his 8 by 10 photo of one of his favorite\nItalian opera stars.\n\nGEORGE\nWho?\n\nELAINE\nYou know the Three Tenors?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.. (Trying to remember) Poverotti..\nDomingo.. and.. uh.. the other guy.\n\nELAINE\n(Nodding) The other guy.\n\n(Airplane)\n\n(Jerry's flying to NY. On his lap is Sally's present and his\npersonal bag. He's trying to read a magazine while a stewardess\napproaches him)\n\nSTEWARDESS\n(Overly nice) Could I take that box\nfor you?\n\nJERRY\nUh.. well, you better not. I'm supposed\nto be careful with it.\n\nSTEWARDESS\nOh, then, I'll have to put your bag\nin the over-head.\n\nJERRY\nOh, okay..\n\n(The stewardess takes the bag, and crams it into the over-head\ncompartment. The sound of glass breaking can be heard)\n\nSTEWARDESS\nThere we go.\n\n(Jerry gives a face of pure dissatisfaction)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Kramer enters while Jerry's unpacking. The clothes in his suitcase\nare covered in bar-b-que sauce)\n\nJERRY\nOhh.. look at this..\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nI bought a bottle of BBQ sauce in Memphis.\nI think the stewardess broke it when\nshe tried to jam it into the overhead\ncompartment because of this (Gestures\nto Sally's present) stupid thing.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, don't press the panic button.\nI'm sure that we can still salvage some\nsauce..\n\nJERRY\nI don't care about the sauce. It came\nin this funny little bottle, and there\nwas a guy on the label that looked exactly\nlike Charles Grodin.\n\nKRAMER\n(Taking some of Jerry's clothing over\nto the kitchen) I see..\n\nJERRY\nNo, you don't see - because I'm going\non the show this week, and this was\ngoing to be my bit on the show.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, why don't you do your material?\n\nJERRY\nI'm out.\n\nKRAMER\n(Looking up, sighs) Well, you better\nget to work.\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastic) Thanks for the tip.\n\n(George enters)\n\nGEORGE\nHey, buddies.\n\nJERRY\nHey. Hey, this is for you. (Taps the\ngift) It's from.. uh, Susan's roommate,\nSally.\n\nGEORGE\nOh yeah.. (Starts to open it) Sally\ncalled Susan - said you guys really\nhit it off.\n\nJERRY\n(Annoyed at the thought) Nobody hit\nanything off. She just gave me the box.\n(Looks over at Kramer. He is scraping\nthe BBQ sauce off Jerry's clothes with\na knife, then dipping some bread into\nit) What the hell are you doing?\n\nKRAMER\n(Looks up) I'm salvaging the sauce.\nWhat's the matter with you? (Eats the\nbread)\n\n(George is still opening the gift - flinging Styrofoam peanuts\nall over the table)\n\nJERRY\n(Pleading) Hey, hey, hey. Come on, come\non.\n\nKRAMER\n(Moving out into the living room) Jerry,\nwhy don't you do a bit on Styrofoam?\n\nJERRY\nLike what?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, uh.. (Starts to impersonate Jerry's\nact) \"What is this stuff? Why do we\nneed this stuff?.. And why do they make\nit so small..?\"\n\nJERRY\n(Confused) Where's the punchline?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's all attitude.. (Makes a humorous\nface - mocking Jerry's)\n\nGOERGE\n(Taking out a mat from the huge box)\nWell, this is certainly a crappy gift..\n\nJERRY\nA door mat? That's what she had me lug\nup from Memphis?!\n\nGEORGE\nPretty chintzy, huh? Considering the\nmoney she makes.. She's a big executive\nfor Federal Express.\n\nJERRY\nFederal Express?! Is she out of her\nmind? Why didn't she just ship it?!\n\nKRAMER\nLook, it's personalized. (Holds it up,\nreading) \"The Costanzas\"\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. Forget it. I don't want it.\nLet's just get rid of it.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, maybe your father would be interested\nin that.\n\nGEORGE\nI doubt it. You know what he's doing\nnow? He's putting a pool table in my\nold bedroom.\n\nKRAMER\n(Interested) Oh yeah? Well, maybe I'll\ngo out there and knock a few balls around\nwith him. You know, show him a thing\nor two..\n\n(George's old bedroom)\n\n(The room is remodeled into a billiard room. The pool table is\nobviously way too big for the room. Frank and Kramer are chalking\nup their sticks)\n\nKRAMER\nSo, what's your game? What do you like\nto play?\n\nFRANK\nEight ball.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, nothing doing. Let's, you and me,\nplay a game of straight pool.. hmm?\n\nFRANK\nYou like to gamble, Cosmo?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, now and then - you know how it\nis..\n\nFRANK\nFive dollars a game, huh?\n\nKRAMER\nI'll break.\n\nFRANK\nOkay.\n\n(Kramer goes to pull back his pool stick, but it is stopped short\nby the wall. Scene cuts to a montage with multiple scenes involving\nhumorous accounts of their trying to play in such a tiny room)\n\n(George and Susan's apartment)\n\n(Susan has boxes in the living room, and is setting up some of\nher items around the apartment)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's all this?\n\nSUSAN\nOh, I'm just moving in some more of\nmy stuff.\n\nGEORGE\n(Muttering to himself as he walks to\nthe bedroom) More stuff..\n\nSUSAN\n(Calling out) Oh, I put up my doll collection..\n\n(George walks into his room, and stops in his tracks. Up on the\nshelves, is a doll that looks exactly like George's mother)\n\nGEORGE\nOh my God! What is that?!\n\nSUSAN\n(Rushing in) What? What is it?\n\nGEORGE\n(Staring at the doll) This doll (Pointing)\nlooks like my mother.\n\nSUSAN\nGeorge, it's a doll.\n\nGEORGE\nI know it's a doll, but it looks like\nmy mother!\n\nSUSAN\n(Going back to the living room) Oh,\nget outta here..\n\n(George's old bedroom)\n\n(Kramer, holding the pool stick at an awkward angle, is about\nto hit the ball when Estelle enters)\n\nESTELLE\nWhat's going on in here? (Kramer hits\nthe cue ball, it jumps up from the table\nand flies off screen) Are you two still\nplaying?! You've been up here three\nhours!\n\nFRANK\nWe still haven't finished the first\ngame.\n\nESTELLE\nThe first game?!\n\nKRAMER\n(Explaining why they are doing so bad)\nWell, we're still, uh, learning the\nsubtleties of the table.\n\nFRANK\n(To Estelle) he knows the Maestro. He\ncould have the picture..\n\nESTELLE\nOh, forget about it. It's not your cousin.\n\nFRANK\n(Yelling out) You don't know that! (Estelle\nleaves, slamming the door) We're gonna\ngo see him, huh?\n\nKRAMER\n(Judging up his next move) As soon as\nthe game is over..\n\nFRANK\n(Sensing the game is going to last a\nlong time) Oh boy.\n\nKRAMER\nEleven, corner pocket. (Pulls back on\nhis stick, accidentally crashing it\ninto the window)\n\n(George and Susan's bedroom)\n\n(George and Susan are in bed. They go to kiss, but George stops\nwhen he sees the doll laying right next to Susan)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat is this thing doing here?\n\nSUSAN\nOh, I used to love to sleep with my\ndolls when I was a little girl..\n\n(Susan leans in to kiss, but George stops her again)\n\nGEORGE\nUh, I'm sorry, I can't do this..\n\nSUSAN\nWhy?\n\nGEORGE\nI feel like I'm in bed with my mother.\n\nSUSAN\nOh, stop it.\n\n(They kiss. While kissing, George tightly stuffs the doll under\nSusan's pillow -- out of sight)\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry enters the living room from his bathroom with his toothbrush.\nElaine is reading the paper at his table)\n\nJERRY\nHey, Elaine, you have got to buy this\nnew electric toothbrush I just got -\nthe Ori-dent.\n\nELAINE\n(Just making conversation) Oh yeah?\n\nJERRY\nOh, it's unbelievable. Every time you\nuse it you feel like you just came from\nthe dentist!\n\nELAINE\n(Mock enthusiasm) Oh, that's dynamite.\n\nJERRY\nHey, what are you doing tomorrow? You\nwant to come see me on the Charles Grodin\nshow?\n\nELAINE\nWho else is on the show?\n\nJERRY\nUh.. one of the three tenors.\n\nELAINE\n(Interested) The Three Tenors? (Stands\nup) Which one?!\n\nJERRY\nUh.. It's not Poverotti.. It's not Domingo..\n\nELAINE\n(Extremely excited) The other guy?!\n\nJERRY\n(Nodding) Yeah, the other guy.\n\nELAINE\n(Screams out in joy) My God! I can't\nbelieve the other guy's going to be\non the show!\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nELAINE\nBecause I ruined this autographed picture\nof him that belonged to the Maestro.\nYou think I can go and get his autograph?\n\nJERRY\nWhy not?\n\nELAINE\n(Extremely giddy) Wow! The other guy!\n\n(George enters. He's in a disheveled state)\n\nJERRY\nHey, you look awful.\n\nGEORGE\n(Sitting on the sofa) I'm on no sleep,\nbro.\n\nJERRY\nProblem in the bedroom?\n\nGEORGE\n(Muttering) Susan has the doll collection..\none of the dolls looks exactly like\nmy mother.. she likes to sleep with\nit.\n\n(Elaine makes a face)\n\nJERRY\nWow. You were in bed with your mother\nlast night?\n\nGEORGE\n(Long pause) ..Felt like it. I tell\nyou, this doll is pretty spooky. (Takes\noff his glasses, rubbing his eye) It's\nfreakin' me out man. And now I got to\ngo back out there and pick up this doormat.\n\nJERRY\nI thought you didn't want the doormat.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't. Susan wants to have it out\nwhen Sally comes tomorrow.\n\nJERRY\nSally? (Getting upset) Wait, wait a\nminute - She's coming to New York?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, (Smiling) Susan said you'd be\nexcited.\n\nJERRY\nExcited? I'm gonna kill her! She knew\nshe was coming here and she made me\ncarry that box?!\n\nELAINE\nWho's Sally?\n\nGEORGE\nSusan's college roommate.\n\nJERRY\nIt's because of her that bottle got\nbroke that I was going to give to Charles\nGrodin on his show.\n\nGEORGE\nSo call her up and tell her to bring\nyou another one. She'll be delighted\nto talk to you.\n\nJERRY\n(While opening a cereal box) I will\n- don't worry. (Plotting revenge) In\nfact, I'll have her bring up a whole\ncase of the stuff. It'll be really heavy.\nLet's see if she likes sitting on a\nplane with a big box on her lap!\n\nELAINE\nThat's sounds pretty juvenile.\n\nJERRY\n(Pulling out the toy from the cereal\nbox - he displays even more immaturity\nby holding it up, smiling) Hey! A dinosaur!\n\n(The Maestro's Office)\n\n(Kramer and Frank are in a meeting with the Maestro)\n\nFRANK\nHis name was Carlo Costanza. We played\ntogether everyday until I was four.\nIf I could just look through your photographs,\nmaybe I could recognize him.\n\nMAESTRO\nUnfortunately those photographs are\nat home.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, listen, if you bring 'em by, maybe\nwe could interest you in a game of pool..\nYeah, Frank here - he's got his own\nbilliard room.\n\nFRANK\n(Trying to concentrate) Yes, It's, uh,\nit's.. uh, uh.. What do you call it,\nKramer?\n\nKRAMER\nA billiard room.\n\nFRANK\nNo, not billiard.. (Scolding) Not billiards..\nit was.. Come on, already. Come on..\n\nKRAMER\n(Confused) What?\n\nFRANK\nWe call it.. the, uh..\n\nKRAMER\n(Snaps) The Place To Be!\n\nFRANK\nThe place to be! Yes! It's the place\nto be.\n\nMAESTRO\n(Agreeing to a game) Ah, then I shall\nbe there. And now, Gentlemen, (Making\ndramatic actions) if you will excuse\nme - I must prepare for the symphony.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yeah?\n\n(The Maestro gets up. Realizing that he isn't wearing pants,\nKramer and Frank stare in bewilderment)\n\nMAESTRO\n(Noticing the expressions) Ohh, my pants.\n(Begins putting on a near-by pair of\npants) It's an old conductor's trick\nI learned from Leonard Bernstein.\n\nKRAMER\nReally?\n\nMAESTRO\nYou keep a perfect crease by not sitting\nin them before the performance.\n\n(Kramer and Frank are obviously impressed)\n\nKRAMER\nThat's good thinking.\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\n(George, presenting the doll to Jerry, has his arms out in a\n'tada' gesture. Jerry has on a disgusted face)\n\nGEORGE\nYou see?.. You see?!\n\nJERRY\nWell, it doesn't look exactly like her.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, come on. If my mother keeps shrinking,\nthis is exactly what she's gonna look\nlike in ten years!\n\nJERRY\nWhy don't you just get rid of it?\n\nGEORGE\nI tried! I almost threw it down the\nincinerator, but I couldn't do it. The\nguilt was too overwhelming. (Grabs the\ndoll, opening the door to leave) Susan's\nso attached to this thing.\n\nJERRY\nWait, where are you going? Don't take\nyour dolly and go home.\n\n(George shoots him a look, then leaves. He is audible as he meets\nup with Elaine in the hallway)\n\nGEORGE\nHi, Elaine.\n\n(Elaine shrieks out in fright, then enters Jerry's doorway -\nbreathless)\n\nELAINE\nDid you see that?!\n\nJERRY\nI'm just glad it's outta here. (Elaine\nexhales deeply - getting over the scare\nof the doll. She moves into the apartment)\nWhat's that? (Pointing to a rolled up\nposter Elaine is carrying)\n\nELAINE\nOh, it's a poster of the three tenors.\n\nJERRY\nOh. (Intercom buzzes, Jerry answers\nit) Yeah?\n\nSALLY\n(Through the intercom) It's Sally.\n\nJERRY\nOh, did you bring the bar-b-que sauce?\n\nSALLY\nA whole case.\n\nJERRY\n(Letting her up) Excellent. (To Elaine)\nSo, did you buy that electric toothbrush\nI was telling you about?\n\nELAINE\n(Blunt, to the point) No.\n\nJERRY\nHow come? I told you - It's fantastic.\n\nELAINE\nEh, I like mine.\n\nJERRY\nI've had yours, I'm telling you - this\none is ten times better. Don't you believe\nme?\n\nELAINE\nI don't want it.\n\nJERRY\n(Slightly confused by her behavior)\nI don't understand this. Why wouldn't\nyou want to get something that's better\nif I'm telling you it's better? And\nit's not a little better - it's much\nbetter.\n\nELAINE\n(Not committing to the conversation)\nIt doesn't matter to me.\n\n(A knock on the door)\n\nJERRY\nCome in.\n\n(Sally enters with a medium-sized box)\n\nSALLY\n(Peppy) Well, here I am!\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi. Elaine, this is Sally.\n\nELAINE\nHi.\n\nJERRY\nHow was your flight? (Wishful thinking)\nPretty uncomfortable?\n\nSALLY\n(Setting the box down on his table)\nActually, the seat next to me was empty,\nso, there was no problem at all.\n\nJERRY\n(Let down) Oh.. (Starts to open the\nbox) Oh, wait.. (Holding up one of the\nBBQ jars) This isn't the sauce that\nI asked for!\n\nSALLY\nThat's right. It's a special gourmet\nsauce. \"The Pride of Memphis!\"\n\nJERRY\n(Complaining) No, no. I wanted the one\nin the little bottle with that guy on\nit that looks like Charles Grodin!\n\nSALLY\nThis is much better. And frankly, in\nMemphis, we think that other sauce as\n(Whispering) kind of a joke.\n\nJERRY\nI know it's a joke. It's supposed to\nbe a joke! Now I'm going on the Charles\nGrodin Show with nothing. (Sets the\njar down angrily) Nothing!\n\nSALLY\nYou could just do your material.\n\nJERRY\n(Peeved) I don't have any material!\n\nELAINE\n(Yelling out) He's got nothin'!\n\n(The Coffee Shop)\n\n(George is sitting at the table - opposite the doll. While he\neats his meal, he can hear his mother yelling at him via the\ndoll)\n\nDOLL\nGeorgie! Don't eat with your hands!\n(George starts eating faster) Why do\nyou eat so fast?! You can't even taste\nit!\n\nGEORGE\n(Losing it) Don't tell me how to eat!\n\n(People from near-by tables turn and look at him)\n\nDOLL\nYou're wearing that shirt? You've had\nit for five years already! Why don't\nyou get a new shirt?!\n\nGEORGE\n(Trying to keep it down) Because I like\nthis one! (Notices people staring at\nhim, he quickly gets up, collecting\nthe his coat and the tiny replica) C'mon,\nlet's go. Let's go! (On his way out,\nhe stops in front of a woman blocking\nhis path) Oh, hi.. (Embarrassed about\nthe doll, he sheepishly walks out)\n\nWOMAN\n(To Ruthie, the cashier) That man should\nreally be in a sanitarium. (Ruthie nods,\nagreeing)\n\n(George's old bedroom)\n\n(The Maestro, Kramer, and Frank are all pant-less and playing\npool while listening to classical music. Frank is looking at\nthe Maestro's pictures with a magnifying glass)\n\nKRAMER\nNow this is remarkable. I'm lounging,\nand yet, my pants remain perfectly creased.\n\nFRANK\nIt's him! (Standing up) It's Carlo Costanza!\n\nKRAMER\nCome on. Are you sure?\n\n(They all crowd around the picture)\n\nFRANK\nI'd know him anywhere.\n\nMAESTRO\nI've seen that man in Tuscany. Eccentric\nfellow. Reputation of being kind of\na village idiot.\n\nFRANK\nI still say we're related.\n\nMAESTRO\n(Recognizing the currently playing song)\nOhh, I love this piece. (Turns it up,\nthen pantomimes that he is conducting\nthe instruments)\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, come on Frank. It's your shot.\n\nFRANK\n(Complaining) I can't make anything..\n\nKRAMER\n(Like a professional) Well, that's because\nyou don't know how to follow through\ncorrectly.\n\nFRANK\nFollow through? What do you mean?\n\nKRAMER\nRight here, come on, I'll show you..\n(Gets behind Frank, holding the pool\nstick with him) Take hold of your stick..\nalright, bring it back slowly..\n\n(Estelle walks in with a tray of beverages and popcorn. Kramer\nand Frank continue the lesson in their underwear as she stares\nin disbelief)\n\nFRANK\nIt's a little unnatural, but I think\nI'm getting the hang of it.\n\nESTELLE\nOh, my God!\n\n(Jerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\n(Still ticked off) That woman is such\nan idiot! I was gonna do this whole\nbit on that bottle - and now I got nothing\nto talk about.\n\nELAINE\nWell, have you ever considered writing\nnew material?\n\nJERRY\nWell, maybe if I didn't have so many\npeople in my apartment all the time\nI'd be able to get some work done.\n\nELAINE\n(Getting the hint) Me? Are you talking\nabout me?\n\nJERRY\n(Deeply sarcastic) No. You're never\nhere.\n\nELAINE\n(Reflecting) Boy, that doll was really\nfreaky, wasn't it?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Really. (Forming and idea) Hey,\nyou know what? Maybe I could talk about\nthat on the show.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nShow the doll - show the picture of\nGeorge's mother.. it's pretty funny.\n(Moving toward the phone) I'm gonna\ncall them.\n\n(Scene cuts to George's apartment.

Is George there?\n\nSALLY\nNo, but he should be home soon.\n\nJERRY\nUh, listen, this is important. Tell\nhim to meet me at the TV studio with\na picture of his mother and that doll\nthat looks like her.\n\nSALLY\nIs this for your comedy routine?\n\nJERRY\n(Obviously resents talking to her) Yes.\n\nSALLY\n(Gasps) Don't worry.

His\nstick jams into the window as he draws\nback) See? This is no good.. (Looks\naround the room. His sights fall on\nthe Maestro's baton) Hey, the baton.\n(Chalks it up) I got a hunch, fat man,\nI can't miss. (Measures up his shot)\n13 in the side pocket. (Does just that)\nGiddy-up. (Moves around to the other\nside of the board, judging his next\nmove) Six in the corner. (Hits it in)\nThis table's mine.

Oh,\nI'm such a huge fan of yours. Would\nyou mind signing this poster for me?\n\nCARRERAS\nMy pleasure.

(He walks off\nas Elaine rolls the picture back up.\nJerry gives his \"That's a shame\" face)\nWell, whatever. (To Jerry) I'm gonna\ntake this to the Maestro. He's, he's\nplaying at the Queens Convalescent Center.\n\nJERRY\n(Joking around) Well, that's one hell\nof a gig. (Turning around, he picks\nup a box labeled \"Ori-dent\") Hey, look,\nI got something for you. The Ori-dent!\n\nELAINE\n(Mock joy) Ohh.. thank you. (Accepts\nthe gift) Huh.. (Struggles under the\nsize) Wha-- why does a toothbrush come\nin such a big box?\n\nJERRY\nWell, it's a delicate mechanism - It,\nyou know, needs lots of packaging.\n\nELAINE\n(Still trying to get a grasp on the\npackage) How am I supposed to carry\nthis thing? (She looks up to see Jerry\ntaking his pants off) What are you doing?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I want to sit down.\n\nELAINE\nSo?\n\nJERRY\nIt's a trick I just learned from Kramer.\nIt keeps a crease in the pants. (Folds\nhis pants over the head of a chair,\nthen sits down in another. When he sees\nElaine's staring at him, he makes a\n\"Tada!\" gesture with his hands.

Every\n\ntime Mr Peterman tries to assign him any work, he says he can't\nhear, and it\n\nall gets dumped on me.\n\nJERRY\nYou think he's faking?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know.

You take my word\nfor it.\n\nJERRY\nWhatever.\n\nGEORGE\n(gleeful) Hehee. W..we could be like\nthe Gatsbys.

You\nturn me on...\n\nAs Elaine speaks, Peterman walks past the open door. Hearing\nElaine's voice,\n\nhis attention is caught. He stops to listen.\n\nELAINE\n...so much. You're so damn...sexy.\n\nPeterman watches and listens, surprised.\n\nELAINE\n(sexy) Ohh. I'm starting to unbutton.\n\nPeterman decides he should withdraw, and he leaves.\n\nELAINE\n(dropping the sexy voice) Anything getting\nthrough? Bob?\n\nBob continues to be oblivious to Elaine. Elaine pulls a pensive\nface and\n\nleaves.\n\n(Theatre)\n\nGeorge, Susan and Hallie sit in a box overlooking the stage (just\nlike the\n\ntwo guys in the Muppets).

One\nbrother\n\nclimbs onto the shoulders of another and is carried to the edge\nof the stage,\n\nwhere he climbs from the shoulders into the box containing Jerry,\nGeorge,\n\nSusan and Hallie. The audience applaud.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\nHow would you kind people like to lend\na hand with our next\n\ntrick?\n\nJERRY\n(smiling) I don't think so.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\nPlease, take off your jacket.\n\nJERRY\nMy jacket?\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\nYes, the jacket. (turns to the crowd)\nWhat do you say,\n\nladies and gentlemen?\n\nThe rest of the audience cheer and clap.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\n(to Jerry) Can't argue with that.\n\nHALLIE\nC'mon.\n\nSUSAN\nDo it. Come on, Jerry.\n\nGEORGE\nGive him the jacket.\n\nJERRY\n(giving in) Alright.\n\nJerry shrugs out of the jacket, to the applause of friends and\naudience. He\n\nhands it to the Sandos Brother.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\nAnd now, we say the magic word. (gestures\nwith his hand)\n\nAgrabah! And we make it disappear.\n\nAs he finishes his speech, he tosses the jacket out of the box\nand into the\n\naudience. The audience clap, as do George, Susan and Hallie.\nJerry peers over\n\nthe edge of the box, after the jacket.\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nConnie lies on the couch, underneath Kramer. She strokes the\nside of his head\n\nwith her fingers.\n\nCONNIE\n(passionate) Oh Cosmo. Mm-mmm, Cosmo.\nOh Cosmo.\n\nKramer is oddly unresponsive.\n\nCONNIE\n(uncomfortable) Uh, honey, can you move\na little, this hurts.\n\nKramer makes no reply.\n\nCONNIE\n(worried) Cosmo?\n\nConnie pushes at Kramer to try and move him.\n\nCONNIE\n(panicky) Oh my god. Cosmo, wake up!\n\nConnie heaves harder at Kramer, but he's still not moving or\nreplying.\n\nCONNIE\nCosmo?\n\nConnie lifts Kramer's head and looks at his face, which is completely\nslack\n\nand expressionless.\n\nCONNIE\n(horrified) Oh my god! He's dead! He's\ndead.\n\nPanicky, Connie tries again to lift Kramer enough to get out,\nbut is unable\n\nto move his inert bulk. She reaches across to the table and grabs\nthe handset\n\nof the phone. Quickly, she dials a number and puts the phone\nto her ear.\n\nCONNIE\n(into phone) Yeah, Tommy, this is Connie.\nYou gotta help me. Some guy\n\ndropped dead on top of me. (listens) I can't call the cops, 'cos\nJoey might\n\nfind out. (listens) I can't. I'm stuck. You gotta help me.\n\n(Theatre, Backstage)\n\nJerry leads George and the girls up to a door marked 'Dressing\nRoom 3'.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is very exciting. The inner sanctum.\n\nJerry knocks on the door. It's opened after a second, by one\nof the Sandos\n\nBrothers who looks at Jerry, questioningly.\n\nJERRY\nHi. I..I was in the audience earlier.\nYou threw my jacket down. I just\n\nwanted to pick it up.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 2\nJacket? What jacket?\n\nJERRY\n(explaining) I had a jacket with a crest\non it. You came into the\n\naudience, you threw it away. Agrabah.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 2\nA..are you sure it was me?\n\nJERRY\nWell, it was either you or one of your\nbrothers.\n\nJerry looks past to where another couple of Sandos Brother are\nstill\n\nchanging.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 2\nWell, two of them have left already.\n\nThe Sandos Brother at the door turns to the other two an rattles\noff a\n\nquestion in some foreign language. The other two speak to each\nother and\n\nreply to the question, also in a foreign tongue, but clearly\nthey don't know\n\nanything.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 2\n(shaking his head apologetically) No.\n\nJERRY\nIt doesn't even belong to me. It belongs\nto the Friars Club.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 2\nSorry.\n\nThe Sandos Brother closes the door, smiling.\n\nHALLIE\nJerry, I'm sure it'll turn up.\n\nJERRY\n(cynical) I'm sure it won't.\n\nHALLIE\nDon't worry. I'll get the jacket back.\n\nGEORGE\n(cheerful) Alright, there you go. She's\ngonna get the jacket back.\n\n(claps hands) So, let's go get some coffee, huh?\n\nJERRY\n(downcast) No, I'm a little tired. I\nthink I'll go home.\n\nSUSAN\nAww, that's too bad.\n\nGEORGE\nReally?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, we'll do it another time.\n\nSUSAN\n(bright) George, we'll go.\n\nGeorge doesn't look like the prospect of coffee alone with Susan\nis something\n\nhe relishes.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nGeorge and Susan sit either side of a table, with coffee. There's\na definite\n\nlack of sparkling conversation. George forces a smile at Susan.\nThere's a\n\nlong pause, broken only by Susan sighing. George finally thinks\nof something\n\nto say.\n\nGEORGE\nI, uh, oh, broke a shoelace today.\n\nSUSAN\nOh, I can get you shoelaces tomorrow.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay.\n\nSUSAN\nSo, what colour?\n\nGEORGE\nBrown.\n\nSusan nods her comprehension, as George muses for a moment.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe a black.\n\nSUSAN\nMmm.\n\nThe waitress walks by the table with the coffee pot.\n\nWAITRESS\nMore coffee?\n\nGEORGE\n(urgent) No! Check! (quieter) Please.\n\nThe waitress pulls the check from her pocket and puts it on the\ntable for\n\nGeorge.\n\n(Hallway Outside Jerry's Apartment)\n\nAs Jerry walks up to his door, Kramer's door opens and two guys\nemerge\n\ncarrying a large body-shaped object wrapped in fabric. They carry\nit away\n\ndown the hall.\n\nJERRY\n(looking after the guys) That nut is\nalways up to something.\n\nJerry shakes his head at Kramer's antics as he enters his apartment.\n\n(A Lonely Stretch Of Road On The Banks Of The Hudson)\n\nIt is night. A large black car squeals to a stop beside the river.\nThe two\n\nguys we just saw leave Kramer's apartment climb out of the car.\nThey open the\n\ntrunk and haul out the wrapped object they were carrying. They\nlug it to the\n\nrail at the edge of the road, and heave it over the edge. It\nsplashes into\n\nthe river and begins to sink. The two guys quickly close the\ntrunk of the car\n\nand climb back in.\n\n(Beneath The Hudson River)\n\nThe object sinks down into the water. Suddenly, the contents\nbegin to squirm\n\nand jump. The outline of a human body can be seen within the\nfabric. The top\n\nof the wrappings opens and Kramer emerges. He looks around, wide-eyed,\nand\n\nwould scream with shock, were he not underwater. He kicks his\nlegs and swims\n\ntoward the surface.\n\n(The Hudson River)\n\nKramer breaks the surface with a splutter. He looks round, panicky\nand\n\nconfused.\n\nKRAMER\nHEY!! Sh..! Shii! MAMA!!\n\nKramer looks to one side, where he sees a large ferry bearing\ndown on him. He\n\nturns and begins swimming away from the vessel.\n\nKRAMER\nAAH! AAGH!\n\n(Elaine's Office, J. Peterman)\n\nElaine is working away, when Peterman enters behind her. He's\ncarrying a\n\ncouple of bits of card.\n\nPETERMAN\nElaine. I think I've been working you\na little too hard, lately.\n\nPeterman sits on the edge of Elaine's desk.\n\nELAINE\n(shrugging it off) Oh.\n\nPETERMAN\nSo, I have two tickets for you (holds\nup the bits of card) to the\n\nFlying Sandos Brothers magic show.\n\nELAINE\n(pleased) Ah.\n\nPETERMAN\nIt is a real hoot.\n\nELAINE\n(delighted) Well, thank you Mr Peterman.\n\nPETERMAN\nAh, the tickets are for tonight. So\nyou and Bob can knock off a\n\nlittle early, so you both can get ready.\n\nElaine looks confused. Peterman begins to leave.\n\nELAINE\nMr Peterman, you...\n\nPETERMAN\n(interrupting) There's no need to deny\nit, Elaine. I heard every\n\nword you said.\n\nElaine realises what Peterman overheard.\n\nPETERMAN\nAnd I know you wouldn't be just having\nfun with his handicap.\n\n(staring away) That kind of cruelty would be grounds for dismissal.\n\nELAINE\n(resigned) Of course, Mr Peterman.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is on the phone, as George enters.\n\nJERRY\n(into phone) Tell 'em I'll come down\nand talk to 'em. Okay, bye. (to\n\nGeorge) Well, that was the Friars Club. D'you think they're gonna\nlet a\n\njacket-stealer join? I don't think so! They're gonna charge me\neight hundred\n\ndollars for the jacket, and I gotta deal with Pat Cooper!\n\nJerry stalks about as George sits on the couch.\n\nJERRY\n(worked up) Wh..what kinda show is that\nSandos Brothers? They take\n\nyour jacket, then they just throw it? I never heard of that!\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a little unusual. So, uh, Susan\nand I were thinking, uh, dinner\n\nat our house Saturday night. Just the four of us.\n\nJERRY\n(unenthusiastic) Uhh, I don't think\nso.\n\nGEORGE\n(worried) Why not?\n\nJERRY\n(impassive) Ah, I'm a little turned\noff.\n\nGEORGE\n(standing) C'mon, what're you talking\nabout?\n\nJERRY\nAhh, I'm, I'm kinda soured.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're soured?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I'm soured.\n\nGEORGE\nDon't be soured.\n\nJERRY\nI'm sorry. I'm soured.\n\nGEORGE\n(animated) What're you kidding me? We\nwere all getting along so well.\n\nWhere is all this coming from?\n\nJERRY\nWell, you know, frankly, I don't think\nshe was too concerned about my\n\njacket.\n\nGEORGE\n(animated) What're you talking about?!\nShe's very concerned! She said\n\nshe was gonna get it back.\n\nJERRY\n(indifferent) Yeah, we'll see.\n\nGEORGE\n(worked up) Because if she gets it back,\nthen you'll have no reason\n\nto be sour. You'll de-sour, right?\n\nJERRY\nI'll try and de-sour.\n\nGEORGE\n(aggravated) Oh, that's not good enough!\nYou don't try and de-sour.\n\nYou have to sweeten too!\n\nJERRY\n(sharp) I'll try! I'll try and de-sour\nand sweeten.\n\nGEORGE\nI wanna get it back when we were the\nGatsbys.\n\nJERRY\nI still don't know what that means.\n\nGEORGE\n(neither does he) Yeah, well.\n\nThe door opens and Kramer enters, fully dressed but soaked to\nthe skin.\n\nKRAMER\nGod.\n\nJERRY\n(astonished) Oh god! What happened to\nyou?!\n\nKRAMER\n(animated) She tried to kill me Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nWho?\n\nKRAMER\n(shouts) Connie!\n\nJERRY\nWhat'd she do?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't know! (building to a shout)\nBut I woke up in the Hudson river\n\nin a SACK!! I think she drugged me, but she's a murderer and\nI'm calling the\n\ncops.\n\nJERRY\n(bewildered) Why would she try and kill\nyou?\n\nKRAMER\n(animated) Well, isn't it obvious? She\ndoesn't want anybody else to\n\nhave me!\n\nKramer moves to leave, but walks into the door with a loud thud.\n\nKRAMER\n(to door) Gah!\n\nKramer stomps away to his own apartment.\n\n(Friars Club Lobby)\n\nJerry and George stand where they dealt with the maitre d' on\ntheir previous\n\nvisit. As they wait, they're people-watching.\n\nJERRY\nHey, there's uncle Milty.\n\nGEORGE\n(pleased) Yeah, it is.\n\nJERRY\n(pointing) And there's David Steinberg.\n\nGEORGE\nThe comedian, or the manager?\n\nJERRY\nThe manager.\n\nGeorge looks unimpressed. Pat Cooper comes walking toward Jerry\nand George.\n\nJERRY\n(to George) Hey, there's Pat. (calls)\nHey, Pat.\n\nPAT\nHey, Jerry. What the hell went wrong?\nWhat's the matter with you? Are\n\nyou a kleptomaniac, or what?\n\nJERRY\nI forgot to take it off.\n\nPAT\n(dubious) You forgot to take it off?\nOh, you go into a department store,\n\nyou put a suit on, and you walk right out. What are you some\nsort of an\n\nidiot?\n\nJERRY\nI'm sorry.\n\nPAT\nWhere's the jacket?\n\nJERRY\nWell, one of the gypsies took it.\n\nPAT\n(skeptical) Aww, the gypsies took it!\nOf course, New York has a lot of\n\ngypsies! Oh, on every block there's a gypsy!\n\nGEORGE\n(meekly) Well, it's true. I saw it.\n\nPAT\n(probing) Excuse me, are you an entertainer?\nAre you in showbusiness?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, I uh...\n\nPAT\n(interrupting) Then what am I talking\nto you for? (to Jerry) Jerry,\n\nbring the jacket back tomorrow.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nPat Cooper walks away from the guys. Jerry motions for George\nto leave with\n\nhim. George looks round and sees something.\n\nGEORGE\nWait a minute, wait a minute.\n\nOver at one of the tables, the Sandos Brother who took Jerry's\njacket is\n\nentertaining some other guests. He's wearing a familiar crested\njacket.\n\nGEORGE\nLook at that guy. Right there. Isn't\nthat the guy from the show?\n\nHe's..he's wearing the jacket.\n\nJERRY\nGod, you're right.\n\nGEORGE\n(motioning Jerry to follow) C'mon.\n\nJerry and George walk into the Friars Club, but within a couple\nof strides\n\nthey are faced with the maitre d'.\n\nMAITRE D'\nWait a second! Excuse me gentlemen,\nare you members?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I'm a prospective member.\n\nMAITRE D'\nUntil then, (pointing) that's the way\nout.\n\nJERRY\nBut that guy has my jacket.\n\nMAITRE D'\nC'mon, let's go.\n\nThe maitre d' shepherds Jerry and George out of the door, despite\ntheir\n\ncontinuing protests.\n\nGEORGE\nExcuse me, the guy is wearing a jacket\nthat my friend is...\n\nMAITRE D'\nCome on.\n\nJERRY\nCome on.\n\nMAITRE D'\nLet's go.\n\nGEORGE\nIf I could talk to the guy for just\na sec...\n\nJerry and George are ejected from the Friars Club.\n\n(Theatre)\n\nElaine and Bob sit in the same box used by Jerry, George, Susan\nand Hallie.\n\nElaine looks distinctly unenthused at the prospect of spending\nthe evening\n\nwith Bob. Bob looks delighted to be ensconced with Elaine.\n\nBOB\nThese seats are fantastic. It was really\nnice of Mr Peterman to give us\n\nthese tickets.\n\nELAINE\n(flat) Yeah, yeah. Was nice.\n\nBob slips one hand round the back of Elaine's seat and leans\nslightly toward\n\nher.\n\nBOB\n(smiling) Yeah. Got our own little private\nbox here, don't we?\n\nElaine looks at Bob, wondering what he's talking about. Bob dives\nacross at\n\nElaine, putting his arms round her and his face on her chest.\n\nELAINE\n(pushing Bob away) Get offa me! Stop\nit. Stop it.\n\nElaine succeeds in heaving Bob away from her. She looks at him,\nangrily.\n\nELAINE\nGet offa me!\n\nBob stands for a few seconds, with Elaine glaring at him. Then\nhe dives in\n\nfor another go. Elaine struggles with him again.\n\nELAINE\nGet a hold of yourself, Bob! (throwing\nBob back between the seats)\n\nGet a hold of yourself!\n\nBob slowly gets to his feet. Elaine glares at him, and Bob shamefacedly\n\nshuffles away out of the box.\n\n(Theatre, Backstage)\n\nJerry and George come round a corner in a dingy corridor at the\ntheatre.\n\nJERRY\nI dunno how that guy gave us the slip\nat the Friars Club.\n\nGEORGE\nI told you, he probably went out the\nback.\n\nAlong the corridor comes the Sandos Brother who took Jerry's\njacket. He has a\n\njacket slung over one shoulder. Jerry and George collide with\nhim.\n\nJERRY\nOuf.\n\nJerry recognises the guy.\n\nJERRY\nHey. It's you! (pointing) Th..that's\nmy Friars Club jacket!\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\nNo, it is not. It is my jacket.\n\nThe Sandos Brother backs away from the advancing Jerry and George.\n\nJERRY\n(adamant) No, no, no. That's my jacket,\ngive it back.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\nNo, it is not. This is mine.\n\nJERRY\nC'mon I need it.\n\nJerry grabs hold of the jacket and begins a tug-of-war with it.\nGeorge joins\n\nin, trying to release the grip of the Sandos Brother. The door\nto 'Dressing\n\nRoom 3' opens and Hallie emerges and watches the struggle.\n\nJERRY\n(determined) I wanna join. I need it\nto become a member.\n\nGEORGE\nGive 'im the jacket already!\n\nJerry and George succeed in taking the jacket. The Sandos Brother\nruns away\n\ndown the corridor, shouting.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\n(yelling) Help! Help! (foreign language)\nAzobar! Azobar\n\ndisay!\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's he yelling about? They're stealing\njackets here!\n\nJERRY\nCan you believe it?!\n\nJerry looks at the jacket they took, and notices something.\n\nJERRY\n(examining) Hey George, you know what?\nI think this crest is\n\ndifferent. It's got a moose on it.\n\nGEORGE\nMoose?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. (subdued) I don't think this is\nthe jacket.\n\nHALLIE\nNo, it's not.\n\nHallie reaches inside the door of Dressing Room 3 and pulls out\na jacket on a\n\nhanger.\n\nHALLIE\nThis is the jacket.\n\nJerry and George look mortified. Hallie brings the jacket over\nto Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nOhh, you got the jacket back.\n\nGEORGE\nOhh, yeahh.\n\nJERRY\n(taking the jacket) Thank you.\n\nHALLIE\nIt got a little dirty, so they wanted\nto clean it before they gave it\n\nback to you.\n\nJERRY\nOh. (smiling) Oh, that's nice of 'em.\n\nGEORGE\n(smiling) That is really nice.\n\nHALLIE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nHALLIE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is nice.\n\nJERRY\nYeahh.\n\nHALLIE\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\n(forced buoyancy) Hey, you know, let's\ncall Susan, we'll go have\n\ncoffee.\n\nHALLIE\n(flat) I'll see you at the wedding.\n\nHallie walks away, leaving George's Gatsby ambitions in tatters.\n\n(Theatre)\n\nElaine sits alone in the box. Something on the floor catches\nher eye. It's\n\nBob's hearing-aid earpiece. Elaine picks it up, and it occurs\nto her that she\n\nhas the opportunity she wanted. She wipes the earpiece on the\nlapel of her\n\njacket and carefully slips it over her ear. Elaine cocks her\nhead on one\n\nside, listening to see if it makes a difference.\n\n(Theatre, Backstage)\n\nJerry and George walk along backstage. Jerry has his jacket,\nand George is\n\ncarrying the Sandos Brother's jacket, looking sullen.\n\nGEORGE\n(moody) Great! Now she's sour!\n\nJERRY\nMaybe she'll sweeten.\n\nGEORGE\n(angry) She won't sweeten, and I'm bitter!\n\nBehind Jerry and George, the Flying Sandos Brothers appear. They\nlook over\n\ntoward Jerry and George.\n\nSANDOS BROTHER 1\n(pointing) There they are!\n\nThe Sandos Brothers set off running after Jerry and George. George\nhurriedly\n\nputs the jacket down on a table, as he and Jerry begin to hasten.\n\nGEORGE\nHere. (panicky) We'll leave it here\nfor you!\n\nJerry and George run away, as the Sandos Brothers advance.\n\nGeorge is on the lead as he and Jerry reach a door marked 'Emergency\nExit.\n\nAlarm will sound'. George pushes the door open and he and Jerry\ndart through.\n\nAs they do, a loud alarm bell begins to ring.\n\n(Theatre)\n\nElaine is sitting wearing the earpiece when the alarm sounds.\nObviously, the\n\nearpiece works, as Elaine spasms in pain at the ringing. She\nclutches her\n\nhands to her ears and jerks off her seat, falling out of sight\nonto the floor\n\nof the box.\n\n(Hallway, Apartment Building)\n\nKramer stands outside the door to an apartment, flanked by two\nother guys.\n\nOne of the guys knocks at the door. After a few seconds, it is\nopened by\n\nConnie.\n\nKRAMER\n(pointing) That's her, officer.\n\nCONNIE\n(shocked) Kramer! Oh my god, I thought\nyou were...\n\nKRAMER\n(animated) What?

STEINBRENNER\nHold on Watson. You like lost and found\nGeorge?\n\nGEORGE\nDefinitely.\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nAll right lost and found. But there's\ngot to be a time limit. We're not running\na pawn shop here.\n\nJerry and Nikki at movies\n\nJERRY\nHey, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nHi Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nThis is Nikki.\n\nNIKKI\nHi!\n\nELAINE\nHello.

Enjoy \" Blame it on the Rain\n\"\n\nJerry and George at the coffee shop\n\nGEORGE\nThere putting in a lost and found because\nof me. There's a time\n\nlimit but still.\n\nJERRY\nThere really building a Utopian society\nup there huh.And you\n\ntribute all this to the calzone.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. I am like a drug dealer. I got\nthe guy hooked. I am having\n\nlunch at his desk everyday this week. He doesn't make a move\nwithout me.\n\nIt's very exciting.\n\nJERRY\nWith you two guys at the helm. The last\npiece of the puzzle is in\n\nplace.\n\nGEORGE\nSo let me ask you a question about the\ntip jar. I had a little\n\nthing with the calzone guy this week. I go to drop a buck in\nthe tip jar and\n\njust as I am about to drop it in he looks the other way. And\nthen when I am\n\nleaving he gives me this look think thanks for nothing. I mean\nif they don't\n\nnotice it what's the point.\n\nJERRY\nSo you don't make it a habit of giving\nto the blind.\n\nGEORGE\nNot bills.\n\nJERRY\nSo George. Remember when I told you\nNikki gets whatever she wants.\n\nWe are at the movies last night. It's sold out. Nikki goes and\ntalks to the\n\nmanager. Right in.\n\nGEORGE\nBeautiful women. You know they could\nget away with murder. You\n\nnever she any of them lift anything over three pounds. They get\nwhatever they\n\nwant whenever they want it. You can't stop them.\n\nJERRY\nShe's like a beautiful Godzilla.\n\nGEORGE\nWithout thousands of fleeing Japanese.\n\nJerry and Kramer at his apartment\n\nKRAMER\nHey buddy.\n\nJERRY\nWhat the hell is all this?\n\nKRAMER\nI am looking for quarters for the dryer.\n\nJERRY\nWhy can't you do this on your table?\n\nKRAMER\nBecause I don't have a table.\n\nElaine walks in\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey. So how was \"Blame it on the Rain?\"\n\nELAINE\nHuh. Yeah thanks for getting us tickets\ntoo.\n\nJERRY\nOh!! Let me ask you a question. Was\nthe movie part of the bet?\n\nKramer leaves\n\nELAINE\nNo. We were both in the mood for one.\n\nJERRY\nYou know Elaine, It is not my way to\nintrude on the personal lives of\n\nclose fiends..\n\nELAINE\nOh is that so.\n\nJERRY\nAbsolutely. But I feel I must inform\nyou that what happened last\n\nnight was more than a simple bet.\n\nELAINE\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nJERRY\nCome on. Dustin Hoffman in Star Wars.\nHe made a bet he knew he was\n\ngoing to lose just to take you to dinner\n\nELAINE\nIf he wanted to ask me out why didn't\nhe just ask me.\n\nJERRY\nBecause if he doesn't ask you out he\ndoesn't get rejected. He has\n\nfound a dating loop hole.\n\nELAINE\nI don't buy it.\n\nKramer walks in with more change\n\nJERRY\nSo what happened after the movie?\n\nELAINE\nNothing. He walked me home.\n\nJERRY\nTo the door?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nThat's a date.\n\nELAINE\nNo it's not.\n\nJERRY\nBut I never walk you home.\n\nELAINE\nThat's just because your a jackass.\n\nKRAMER\nAh!! I found a quarter. Anybody want\nthere clothes heated up?\n\nJERRY\nNo, no.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no.\n\nJERRY\nSo how did you leave it with him?\n\nELAINE\nI am supposed to meet him to pick up\nyour cigars.\n\nJERRY\nThat's another loop hole. That's two\ndates without asking you out.\n\nELAINE\nYour crazy!\n\nJERRY\nCrazy like a man.\n\nGeorge at Pisano's\n\nWORKER\nNumber 49.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know my last name is Costanza. That's\nItalian. So you and I are\n\nlike country men. Pisano's!\n\nWORKER\n$ 6.50 your change.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd I always take care of my Pisano's.\nSo here is a little\n\nsomething.\n\n( drop in tip and worker looks the other way, so George decides\nto take it\n\nout and try again only to get caught )\n\nWORKER\nHey! You steal my money!!\n\nGEORGE\nNo no. That's not what I was trying\nto do.\n\nWORKER\nI know what you try to do. Get out.\nDon't ever come back ever.\n\nGeorge and Mr. Steinbrenner at Yankee Stadium\n\nGEORGE\nI got your calzones Mr. Steinbrenner.\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nBeautiful. I am starving George.\n\nGEORGE\nI thought tomorrow maybe we'd try a\nlittle corn beef.\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nCorn beef. I don't think so. It is a\nlittle fatty.\n\nGEORGE\nHow about Chinese?\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nUhhhhh. No. Too many containers. Big\nmess, big mess.\n\nToo sloppy.I want to stick with the calzones from Pisano's. That's\nthe\n\nticket.\n\nGEORGE\nI just thought it would be nice. A little\nvariety.\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nNo, no, no. George let me tell you something.\nWhen I\n\nfind something I like I stick with it. From 1973 to 1982 I ate\nthe exact same\n\nlunch everyday. Turkey chili in a bowl made out of bread. Bread\nbowl George\n\n. First you eat the chili then you eat the bowl. There's nothing\nmore\n\nsatisfying than looking down after lunch and seeing nothing but\na table.\n\nTodd walking Elaine to her apartment\n\nELAINE\nThanks for the dinner.\n\nTODD\nWell I had to give these cigars and\nwe were both hungry.\n\nELAINE\nHey Todd. Let me ask you a question.\nUm. Was this whole date thing\n\njust a way of asking me out?\n\nTODD\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nI mean Dustin Hoffman in Star Wars?\n\nTODD\nElaine that was a legitimate bet and\nI lost so I bought you dinner.\n\nELAINE\nOh all right. Okay well, goodnight.\n\nTODD\nHey, if your not doing anything Saturday\ndo you want to meet somewhere\n\n?\n\nELAINE\nSee what is that?

I am really in a bad\nsituation now.\n\nJERRY\nso what is Steinbrenner going to do\nif he doesn't get his calzones?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's he going to do? That's exactly\nthe point. Nobody knows what\n\nthis guy is capable of! He fires people like it is a bodily function.\n\nJERRY\nWhy don't you get someone else from\nthe office to go get Pisano's for\n\nyou?\n\nGEORGE\nBecause before you know it he'll be\nhaving lunch with him. You know\n\nhow these interoffice politics work.\n\nJERRY\nNo. I never had a job.\n\nKramer walks in with no pants on\n\nKRAMER\nI decided to go with the brown one 's.\n(pants)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat the hell is this?\n\nJERRY\nKramer's cooking up some corduroy.\n\nGEORGE\nThere has got to be some way to get\nback into Pisano's.\n\nKRAMER\nPisano's.

And since you go buy there everyday.\nI was hoping that we\n\ncould help each other out.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh well. Let me perfectly blunt. I don't\ncare for you Costanza.\n\nYou hang out at the west side of the building with Seinfeld all\nday and just\n\nit up wasting your lives.\n\nGEORGE\nAre you going to help me or not?\n\nNEWMAN\nAll right, all right. I'll help you\nbut I will except something in\n\nreturn.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat?\n\nNEWMAN\nWell for starters I want a calzone of\nmy own...\n\nGEORGE\nAll right.\n\nNEWMAN\nAnd a slice of pepperoni pizza and a\nlarge soda and three times a\n\nweek I will require a canolie.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's a little steep don't you think?\n\nNEWMAN\nYou know I hear Mr. Steinbrenner can\nbe a bit erratic. I would hate\n\nto see him when he's hungry.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, all right.\n\nNEWMAN\nDo we have a deal?\n\nGEORGE\nBut I have to have them by one o'clock.\nHe's very regiment about his\n\nmeals.\n\nNEWMAN\nI know exactly how he feels.

(fetching the bottle\nfrom the trash) Don't\n\nthrow that away.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, I'm not paying the five cents\nfor that stupid recycling\n\nthing.\n\nKRAMER\nYou don't pay five cents, you get five\ncents back.

In Michigan you get\nten cents.\n\nNEWMAN\nTen cents!?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nNEWMAN\nWait a minute. You mean you get five\ncents here, and ten cents\n\nthere. You could round up bottles here and run 'em out to Michigan\nfor the\n\ndifference.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, it doesn't work.\n\nNEWMAN\nWhat d'you mean it doesn't work? You\nget enough bottles\n\ntogether...\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, you overload your inventory and\nyou blow your margins on\n\ngasoline. Trust me, it doesn't work.\n\nJERRY\n(re-entering) Hey, you're not talking\nthat Michigan deposit\n\nbottle scam again, are you?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, I'm off that.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou tried it?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah.

In the back seat, the golf clubs\ncan be\n\nseen. There is a persistent clunking sound coming from the car.\n\nELAINE\nPeterman is gonna kill me.\n\nJERRY\nI really thought you had her there at\nseventeen thousand.\n\nELAINE\nWhy didn't you stop me?\n\nJERRY\nDo you hear this clunking?\n\nELAINE\n(listening) A little.\n\n(Jerry's Car, later)\n\nThe Saab halts outside Elaine's apartment building.\n\nELAINE\nOh. You know what? (indicates clubs)\nI'm gonna grab these from\n\nYou later. You'll take care of 'em, okay? Okay. See you tomorrow.\n\nJERRY\nOkay.\n\nELAINE\nAlrighty, bye.\n\nJERRY\nBye.\n\nElaine leaves the car and walks away. Jerry restarts the car,\nwhen he\n\nNotices steam and smoke emerging from under the hood.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's going on here?\n\nJerry gets out of the car and runs to raise the hood.\n\nJERRY\nOh God!\n\nJerry opens the hood of his car. As the smoke and steam clears,\nit\n\nbecomes clear there are a variety of comestibles arranged on\nand around the engine\n\ncompartment.\n\nJERRY\n(angry) Oh, you idiots!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nKramer and Newman still occupy the couch.\n\nNEWMAN\nSo we could put the bottles in a U-haul.\nYou know, go lean and\n\nmean?\n\nKRAMER\nNewman, it's a dead-end, c'mon. (Jerry\nenters) Hey, there he\n\nis.\n\nJERRY\nHey. You put your groceries under the\nhood of my car?\n\nKRAMER\n(to Newman) Aw, that's right, we forgot\nabout those.\n\nNEWMAN\n(to Kramer) That's where my missing\nsoda is.\n\nJERRY\nAnd your crab legs, and a thing of cheese.\nThe Triple-A guy said\n\nI was this close to sucking a muffin down the carburetor. What\nwere you\n\nthinking?\n\nKRAMER\nWe ran outta space.\n\nJERRY\nNow I gotta take the car down to Tony\nand get it checked out.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, Tony, he's good.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, he's real good. But he's so obsessive\nabout the car. He\n\nmakes me feel guilty about every little thing that's wrong with\nit. I gotta get\n\nit washed before I bring it down to him, or I'm afraid he'll\nyell at me.\n\nKRAMER\n(offering the artichoke can) 'Choke?'\n\nJERRY\nNo, thank you.\n\n(Auto Shop)\n\nJerry and Tony stand beside the Saab. Jerry looks worried and\nTony is\n\nLooking like he's in love with the car. He runs his hands over\nthe roof and\n\nalong the lines of the bodywork. Tony is a little intense.\n\nTONY\n(lovingly) Oh, yeah. I remember this\ncar. Beautiful car.\n\nJERRY\nYeah. So, anyway, the engine's been\nidling a little rough. I\n\nthought it might be time for a check up...\n\nTony isn't hearing Jerry. He climbs into the driver's seat and\nbegins\n\nFerreting about.\n\nJERRY\nThere's really nothing wrong on the\ninside.\n\nTONY\nWell, the shift knob is loose. You know\nabout that?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I hadn't noticed.\n\nTONY\n(accusingly) Have you been picking at\nit?\n\nJERRY\nHave I been picking at it? No. You know.\nIt's just wear and\n\ntear.\n\nTONY\n(disapprovingly) Wear and tear. I see.\n\nJERRY\nThe engine is really the only thing\nthat needs checking.\n\nTONY\nYou been rotating the tires?\n\nJERRY\nTry to.\n\nTONY\n(sharp) You don't try to. You do it!\nFifty-one percent of all\n\nturns are right turns. You know that? 'Try to.'\n\n(Elaine's Office)\n\nPETERMAN\nTwenty thousand dollars!?! Elaine, that's\ntwice the amount I\n\nauthorised you to spend.\n\nELAINE\nI know, Mr Peterman, but but but but\nonce I saw them, I just\n\ncouldn't stand to let anyone else have them. (warming to her\nsubject) You know,\n\ncertainly not some stuck-up candy bar heiress who shamelessly\nflaunts herself in\n\npublic without any regard...\n\nPETERMAN\nWell, where are they?\n\nELAINE\n(ingratiatingly) They should be here\ntoday.\n\n(George's Office)\n\nGeorge stands, silently rehearsing his follow-up question. Wilhelm\n\nwalks by the window, down the corridor. George takes the plunge.\n\nGEORGE\nUh, Mr Wilhelm.\n\nWILHELM\n(entering the office) Yes George.\n\nGEORGE\nHi, I was just uh... I just had one\nlittle question about uh,\n\nMy assignment.\n\nWILHELM\nYes, well I trust things are moving\nsmoothly. Mr\n\nSteinbrenner's counting on you, you know.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, yes. Very smooth, super smooth.\nNo, but I really wanna\n\nattack this thing, you know. Sink my teeth into it. So I was\njust wondering... what\n\ndo you think would be the very best way to get started?\n\nWILHELM\n(confusion) Get started? I don't understand,\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I was wondering...\n\nWILHELM\nYou mean you haven't been to payroll?\n\nGEORGE\nPayroll? No, no, I haven't done that.\n\nWILHELM\nWell, what's the problem? Now come on\nGeorge. I told the big\n\nman you were moving on this. Now, don't let him down!\n\nWilhelm leaves.\n\nGEORGE\nPayroll!!\n\nGeorge grabs his jacket, races to the door, checks Wilhelm has\ngone,\n\nand darts off down the corridor.\n\nPayroll Office)\n\nA meek looking clerk sits behind a counter. George enters.\n\nGEORGE\nHello there. I'm George Costanza.\n\nCLERK\nYes?\n\nGEORGE\nAssistant to the travelling secretary.\n(fishing for a reaction)\n\nI'm uh, working on the project.\n\nCLERK\nWhat project?\n\nGEORGE\nPayroll project. Wilhelm? Big uh, big\npayroll project.\n\nCLERK\nYou're gonna have to fill me in.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know what, I'll just uh, I'll just\nlook around for a little\n\nwhile. (moving to come round the counter) I'll just browse around.\n\nCLERK\n(blocking George) Hey, wait, hey. Excuse\nme, uh, you can't come\n\nBack here.\n\nGEORGE\nLook, I am under direct orders from\nMr Wilhelm. So if you have\n\na problem with that, maybe you should just take it up with him.\n\nCLERK\nWell, maybe I will.\n\nGEORGE\n(spotting possible salvation) You know\nwhat, I urge you to take\n\nit up with him. Go ahead, give him a call, he'll tell you what\nI'm doing\n\nhere. (half to himself) Then you can tell me.\n\nCLERK\n(on phone) Mr Wilhelm, uh, this is Lafarge\nin payroll. Uh,\n\nthere's a Costanza here, says he's working on some project?\n\nGeorge is leaning across the counter, trying to hear Wilhelm's\nside of\n\nthe converstion.\n\nCLERK\n(on phone) Oh. (he swaps the phone to\nhis other ear) Oh, I see.\n\n(listens) Interesting. (listens) Well, that's quite a project.\nAlright, thank\n\nyou.\n\nThe clerk puts down the phone. George looks expectant.\n\nCLERK\n(apologetically) Ah, I'm sorry uh, that\nI doubted you. Whatever\n\nyou need, just uh, make yourself at home.\n\nGEORGE\nSo he explained it all to you?\n\nCLERK\nYes, he explained it all very clearly.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat'd he tell you?\n\nCLERK\n(upset) Look! You were right, I was\nwrong! You don't have to\n\nhumiliate me about it, alright!\n\n(Newman's Apartment}\n\nNewman sits on his couch. He's using an old mechanical adding\nmachine\n\nand a pad to work on permutations for the 'Michigan deposit bottle\nscam'. There\n\nare spools of used paper from the adding machine all over the\ntable and maps of\n\nthe northeastern states of the US pinned up on the wall. He taps\nout a\n\nseries of number, pulls the handle and reads the result, then\nlooks at what he's\n\nwritten on his pad.\n\nNEWMAN\nDamn!\n\nFrustrated, he sits back. He notices a framed photograph of his\nmother.\n\nA thought occurs.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh, Mother's Day. (inspiration strikes)\nWait a second.\n\nMother's Day?!\n\nHe starts typing figures into the adding machine rapidly. He\nmouths\n\nnumbers to himself, shrugging as he makes estimates. When he\nfinishes he tears the\n\npaper strip from the machine, compares it to figures on his pad.\n\nNEWMAN\n(triumphant) Yessss!\n\nIn celebration he swigs from a bottle of soda.\n\nNEWMAN\nAhaha!\n\n(Hallway)\n\nNewman hurries up to Kramer's door and hammers on it with his\nfist. He\n\nwaits a few seconds, then impatiently hammers agin.\n\nNEWMAN\nCome on Kramer!\n\nThe door opens to reveal Kramer midway through a shave, holding\na\n\nrazor, with\n\nfoam on his face.\n\nKRAMER\nWha...?\n\nNEWMAN\nIt's the truck, Kramer. The truck!\n\nKRAMER\nLook, Newman, I told you to let this\nthing go.\n\nNEWMAN\nNo, no, no, no no. Listen to me. Most\ndays, the post office\n\nsends one truckload of mail to the second domestic regional sorting\nfacility in\n\nSagenaw, Michigan.\n\nKRAMER\n(interested) Uh-huh.\n\nNEWMAN\nBut, on the week before holidays, we\nsee a surge. On\n\nalentine's Day, we send two trucks. On Christmas, four, packed\nto the brim. And tomorrow,\n\nif history is any guide, will see some spillover into a fifth\ntruck.\n\nKRAMER\n(realisation) Mother's Day.\n\nNEWMAN\nThe mother of all mail days. And guess\nwho signed up for the\n\ntruck.\n\nKRAMER\nA free truck? Oh boy, that completely\nchanges our cost\n\nstructure. Our G and A goes down fifty percent.\n\nNEWMAN\n(excited) We carry a coupla bags of\nmail, and the rest is ours!\n\nKRAMER\nNewman, you magnificent bastard, you\ndid it!\n\nNEWMAN\n(triumph) Let the collecting begin!\n\nThey embrace joyfully.\n\n(Montage of scenes)\n\nA woman puts a soda can on top of a mail box while she reaches\ninto her\n\nbag for something to post. A hand reaches from behind the box,\npicks up the can\n\nand disappears back behind the box. The woman is flummoxed by\nthe can's\n\ndisappearance.\n\nNewman stands nonchalantly beside a dumpster with a plastic sack\n\ncontaining some bottles and cans. In the dumpster, Kramer roots\nabout beneath the\n\nplastic and cardboard, before coming up and handing a bottle\nto Newman, who drops\n\nit into his sack.\n\nIn Monk's, a waitress puts a tray of empty bottle onto a shelf\nbehind\n\nKramer, who's eating a meal. As she leaves, he reaches behind\nhim, takes the\n\ntray and tips the bottles into another plastic sack.\n\nNewman stands in a doorway on the street. A homeless guy pushes\na\n\nshopping cart full of bottles and cans past. Newman drops a few\ncoins onto the\n\nsidewalk, attracting the attention of the homeless guy, who leaves\nhis cart to\n\nretrieve the change. Newman darts from the doorway, grabs hold\nof the cart and\n\nraces away down the street, leaving the homeless guy shaking\na fist and yelling\n\nafter him.\n\nNewman finishes a bottle of soda and hands the empty to Kramer,\nwho\n\nHands another bottle to Newman. There's a long line of empty\nbottles already\n\non the table and Newman's looking close to capacity. As Newman\nreluctantly\n\nbegins to drink this latest one, Kramer opens another and taps\nhim on the\n\nstomach, causing Newman to splutter and spray soda across the\ntable.\n\nA cigar-smoking Kramer and a gleeful Newman, regard the back\nof a mail\n\ntruck, filled with plastic sacks of bottles and cans. They slap\npalms and\n\nshake hands as Kramer pulls down the door and flips the handle\nclosed.\n\nGeorge's Office)\n\nGeorge has his head down on his desk. Wilhelm walks jauntily\nalong the\n\nCorridor and enters the office.\n\nWILHELM\nSo...\n\nGeorge snaps awake.\n\nWILHELM\n...did you go down to payroll?\n\nGEORGE\n(standing) Yes, payroll. Yes I did.\nVery productive. Payroll...\n\nPaid off.\n\nWILHELM\n(pleased) Well then, I guess you'll\nbe heading downtown then,\n\nhuh?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, yeah. Downtown. Definitely.\n\nWILHELM\nWell, I'm very interested to see how\nthis thing turns out.\n\nGEORGE\n(to himself) Yeah, you said it. (to\nWilhelm) Uh, excuse me, Mr\n\nWilhelm. Uh, do you really think... Well, is this downtown trip\nreally\n\nnecessary, you know, for the project?\n\nWILHELM\nOh no, you've got to go downtown, George.\nIt's all downtown.\n\nJust like the song says.\n\nGEORGE\nThe song?\n\nWILHELM\nThere's your answer. Downtown.\n\nWilhelm leaves.\n\nGEORGE\n(thoughtful) Downtown.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nGeorge and Jerry in a booth.\n\nJERRY\nThe song Downtown? You mean the Petula\nClark song?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nYou sure he didn't just mention it because\nyou happened to be\n\nGoing downtown?\n\nGEORGE\nI think he was trying to tell me something,\nlike it had some\n\nsort of a\n\nmeaning.\n\nJERRY\nOkay, so how does it go?\n\nGEORGE\n'When you're alone, and life is making\nyou lonely, you can\n\nalways go...'\n\nJERRY\n'... downtown.'\n\nGEORGE\n'Maybe you know some little places to\ngo, where they never\n\nclose...'\n\nJERRY\n'...downtown.'\n\nGEORGE\nWait a second.

There seems to be\na bit of a snag.\n\nPETERMAN\nSnag?\n\nELAINE\nIt seems that a psychotic mechanic has\nabsconded with my\n\nfriend's car.\n\nPETERMAN\nWhat does that have to do with my clubs?\n\nELAINE\nThey happened to be in the back seat\nat the time.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is talking with a police detective at his door.\n\nDETECTIVE\nWhat was the suspect wearing at the\ntime of the incident?\n\nJERRY\nYou know, like mechanic's pants, a shirt\nthat said 'Tony'. Lemme\n\nask you something, have you ever seen a case like this before?\n\nDETECTIVE\nAll the time. A mechanic forms an emotional\nattachment,\n\nthinks he'sgonna lose the car, he panics, he does something rash.\nI'm gonna ask\n\nyou somepersonal questions. I'm sorry if I touch a nerve, but\nI think it'll\n\nhelp with the case. Had you been taking good care of the car?\n\nJERRY\nHad I been taking...?\n\nDETECTIVE\nWell, did you leave the A/C on? Do you\nzip over speed bumps?\n\nDo you ride the clutch? Things like that.\n\nJERRY\nW-well, what does it matter? It's my\ncar, I can do whatever I\n\nwant with it.\n\nThe detective stares at Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nNot that I would think of doing such\nthings.\n\nDETECTIVE\n(making a note) Alright Mr Seinfeld,\nwe'll let you know if\n\nwe find anything. I gotta be honest with you, these cases never\nend up well.\n\nJERRY\nWell uh, whatever you can do. Thanks.\n\nGeorge's Office)\n\nGeorge sits at his desk, his forehead resting on a folder he\nhas\n\nclutched in his hands. Mr Wilhelm enters, looking happy.\n\nGEORGE\n(hesitant) Uh, Mr Wilhelm. Uh, about\nthe project...\n\nWILHELM\nThat's what I came to talk to you about.\nGreat job George.\n\n(shakes George's hand) You really nailed it.\n\nGEORGE\nI did?\n\nWILHELM\nOh yes, I read through it this morning.\nI couldn't have done\n\nit better myself, and I turned it right over to Mr Steinbrenner.\nGood work\n\nGeorge.\n\nWilhelm leaves. George looks stunned and confused.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nBy now, George is looking much more pleased.\n\nJERRY\nI don't get it. He assigns it to you,\nyou don't do it. Somehow\n\nit gets done, and now he's telling you what a great job you did.\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe somebody did it and didn't take\ncredit for it. Maybe it\n\nwas already done and didn't need doing in the first place. I\nhave no idea\n\nwho did it, what they did, or how they did it so well. And you\nknow what? Jimmy\n\ncrack corn and I don't care.\n\n(Mr Wilhelm's Home)\n\nWilhelm sits on the couch. He has a newspaper and is talking\nto his\n\nwife, who's in another room.\n\nWILHELM\nThe gardener did a nice job planting\nthe rose bushes, didn't\n\nhe dear?\n\nMRS WILHELM\nYou planted the rose bushes, dear.\n\nWILHELM\nI did?\n\nMRS WILHELM\nYesterday. You remember.\n\nWILHELM\n(thinks for a moment) That's right.\n(pause) What's for dinner?\n\nMRS WILHELM\nWe just ate. Did you forget to take\nyour medicine?\n\nWilhelm can be seen struggling to recollect.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nA still pleased looking George is fetching a drink from Jerry's\nfridge.\n\nGEORGE\nThe point is, however it got done, it's\ndone. So, any luck with\n\nthe car?\n\nJERRY\nNo. The police have no leads (sitting\non the couch arm) and I\n\njust found out today my insurance doesn't cover it.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not?\n\nJERRY\nThey don't consider it stolen, if you\nwilfully give the guy the\n\nkeys.\n\nThe door opens and Elaine enters.\n\nELAINE\n(to George) Hey.\n\nGEORGE\nHey.\n\nELAINE\n(to Jerry) Hey. What did the detective\nsay?\n\nJERRY\nThey're looking.\n\nGEORGE\nI gotta go.\n\nGeorge leaves. The phone rings and Jerry picks up.\n\nJERRY\nY'hello.\n\nDETECTIVE\nMr Seinfeld?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nDETECTIVE\nIt's Detective McMahon...\n\nElaine looks quizzical. Jerry mouths, 'It's the police'\n\nDETECTIVE\n...I'm at the warehouse on Pier 38.\nAh, I think you'd\n\nbetter get down here.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, okay. (to Elaine) They may have\nfound the car.\n\nELAINE\n(makes surprise noise) Are the clubs\nin it? Ask him.\n\nJERRY\nAre there golf clubs in the back?\n\nDETECTIVE\nWe really can't tell. You better bring\nyour service\n\nrecords.\n\n(Pier 38 Warehouse)\n\nThe interior of the warehouse is gloomy and dank. There are cars\nand\n\nparts of cars arranged round the area, together with tools, welding\ngear, etc.\n\nDetective McMahon stands beside a car-shaped object hidden under\na white sheet.\n\nJerry and Elaine are led in by a young patrolman who looks queasy.\n\nYOUNG COP\nWatch where you step. There's quite\na bit of... grease.\n\nDetective, Jerry Seinfeld is here.\n\nDETECTIVE\nHow d'you do. Thanks for coming down.\n\nJERRY\n(indicating) This is Elaine Benes.\n\nELAINE\n(explaining) We used to date, but now\nwe're just friends.\n\nDETECTIVE\nI see.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nDETECTIVE\nI'm sorry to make you go through this,\nbut we need to make\n\nsure.\n\nJERRY\nWell, what's going on? What is this\nthing?\n\nDETECTIVE\nOne of our patrolmen stumbled over this.\n\nHe lifts the sheet, revealing what's beneath to Jerry and Elaine.\n\nELAINE\n(horrified) Huuh! (she turns away and\ncovers her mouth)\n\nJERRY\nOh my God!\n\nThe young patrolman removes his cap out of respect for the victim.\n\nDETECTIVE\nThe block is nearly split apart. We\nfound the overhead cams\n\nthirty feet away. We can only hope the body sold for scrap.\n\nELAINE\nOh, my God.\n\nDETECTIVE\nAnd we know it's a Saab. The angle on\nthe Vee-6 is\n\ndefinitely ninety-two. The model is hard to determine because\nthe drive train is\n\nall burnt out.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is that smell?\n\nDETECTIVE\nLook at the clutch.\n\nThey look. Jerry and Elaine don't like what they see.\n\nELAINE\nUuh.\n\nThe patrolman cracks and leaves hurriedly, looking nauseous.\n\nYOUNG COP\nExcuse me.\n\nDETECTIVE\nWhoever did this didn't just dismantle\nit. I mean, they took\n\ntheir time, they had fun. They were very systematic. They went\nout of their\n\nway to gouge the sides of every piston, and the turbo was separated\nfrom the\n\nhousing and shoved right up the exhaust pipe.\n\nELAINE\nUhh\n\nJERRY\nWait a second. Turbo? I didn't have\na turbo.\n\nDETECTIVE\nYour car's not a turbo?\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's a nine-hundred S. (happy) It's\na turbo, Elaine, a\n\nturbo!\n\nELAINE\n(sobbing happiness) It's a tu-hur-bo.\n\nElaine and Jerry hug in happiness. In the background, another\nwoman\n\narrives.\n\nWOMAN\nExcuse me, did you say turbo? Saab turbo\nnine-thousand? Is it...\n\n(voice breaking) midnight blue?\n\nDETECTIVE\n(condolences) Yes ma'am.\n\n(Mail Truck)\n\nNewman drives as he and Kramer give voice to their happiness.\n\nKRAMER/NEWMAN\n(singing) Nine thousand, nine hundred\nand ninety-nine\n\nbottle and cans in the trunk, nine thousand, nine hundred and\nninety-nine bottles\n\nand cans. At ten cents a bottle and ten cents a can, we're pulling\nin five\n\nhundred dollars a man. Nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-eight\nbottle and cans in\n\nthe trunk, nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-eight bottles\nand cans.\n\nWe fill up with gas, we count up our cash!!...\n\nTheir singing ends shambolically as they lose track of the lyrics.\nBut\n\nthe pair still look gleeful.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment/Jerry's car)\n\nThe phone rings in Jerry's apartment. He picks it up.\n\nJERRY\nHello.\n\nTONY\nHey Jerry, it's Tony.\n\nJERRY\nTony, where are you?\n\nThe Saab is driving down a quiet country road at night.\n\nTONY\nAw look, I just want you to know that\nthe car is fine. I got her\n\nall fixed up. We're in a nice area, no potholes, no traffic.\nSo there's nothing\n\nto worry about. Okay? In fact, here, somebody wants to talk to\nyou.\n\nTony holds the phone toward the dash and revs the engine a little.\n\nJerry can hear the engine noise over the phone.\n\nJERRY\nTony, y-you better bring that car back!\n\nTONY\n(angry) Nobody's giving anything back!\nYou tried to take it from\n\nme, I don't forget that.\n\nJERRY\nTony, it is my car, and I want it back!\n\nTONY\nOh, your car. You want your car back!\n\nJERRY\nTony.\n\nTONY\nListen, that registration may have your\nname on it, Jerry. But\n\nthis engine's running on my sweat and my blood.\n\nTony hangs up the phone.\n\nJERRY\n(exasperated) Where do I find these\nguys?\n\n(Mail Truck)\n\nKramer is driving the truck along a highway in daylight.\n\nNEWMAN\nHow much gas we got?\n\nKRAMER\nThree quarters of a tank.\n\nNewman punches the numbers into a calculator.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's better than we estimated.\n\nNEWMAN\n(smugly) That is seven dollars and twenty-two\ncents better.\n\nThey give a smug little laugh.\n\nNEWMAN\nMaybe we could uh, stop for a snack.\n\nKRAMER\nAh, no, that's not in the budget.\n\nNEWMAN\nYeah well, the budget changed, you know.\nI mean, it might be a\n\ngood investment.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's not a good investment, that's\na loss.\n\nA convertible black Saab passes the mail truck.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, d'you see that car? Looks like\nJerry's. I'm gonna check\n\nout that license plate.\n\nHe accelerates the mail truck to close on the Saab, and leans\nforward,\n\nstraining to make out the plate.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, those are New York plates.\n\nNEWMAN\nIs that Jerry's number?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't know, but that's New York and\nwe're in Ohio. Those are\n\npretty good odds.\n\nKramer reaches under his seat, rummaging for something.\n\nNEWMAN\nWhat're you doing?\n\nKRAMER\nI'm calling Jerry.\n\nNEWMAN\nOn what?\n\nKRAMER\nBrought my phone.\n\nHe pulls out his mobile and hits the speed dial for Jerry.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment/Mail Truck)\n\nJERRY\n(answering phone) Y'hello.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, hey Jerry, what's your licence\nplate number?\n\nJERRY\nWhy, what's up?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well I think I spotted your car.\n\nJERRY\nOh my god, you're kidding. (dives for\nhis wallet) Hang on a\n\nsecond. (reading from his registration) It's JVN 728.\n\nKRAMER\n(checks the car ahead of him) Hey, that's\nit! That's it. Hey,\n\nuh look, we got him. We're driving right behind him in a truck.\n\nJERRY\nOh my god. Yeah, yeah, he said he brought\nit to the country.\n\nKRAMER\nWell we're in the country and we're\nright on his tail.\n\nJERRY\nGood work Kramer, this is incredible.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, don't worry Jerry. We're right\non this guy like stink on\n\na monkey! I'll check back with you.\n\n(Elaine's Office/Jerry's Apartment)\n\nThe phone rings in Elaine's office. She answers it.\n\nELAINE\nElaine Benes.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it's me. Kramer found the car!\n\nELAINE\nOh my god, where is it?\n\nJERRY\nIt's somewhere in the country, they're\nfollowing 'em.\n\nELAINE\nAre the clubs there?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know. They're tailing him. I'm\nwaiting for them to call\n\nme back.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, I'm heading over right now.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nElaine enters at a rush.\n\nELAINE\nWhat's the status?\n\nJERRY\nLast check-in, they were still on him.\n\nELAINE\nWell, have they called the police yet?\n\nJERRY\nNo, they won't call the police.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Why not?\n\nJERRY\nThey're afraid they'll get in trouble\nfor misusing a mail truck.\n\nKramer doesn't want a record.\n\nELAINE\nKramer has a record.\n\nJERRY\nNot a Federal record.\n\nThe phone rings. Jerry grabs the handset by the couch, Elaine\npicks up\n\nin the kitchen.\n\n(Mail Truck/Jerry's Apartment)\n\nELAINE/JERRY\nKramer?\n\nJERRY\nWhat's going on?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, nothing. We're still following\nhim.\n\nAhead of the truck, the black Saab indicates his intention to\nmove onto\n\nthe off-ramp.\n\nKRAMER\nWait a second, he's getting off. Yeah,\nhe's gonna be going\n\nsouth on the one-thirty-five.\n\nELAINE\nKeep following him.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, alright, I'll follow him.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey, we can't follow him, we're going\nnorth to Michigan.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, hey listen, I can't. It's gonna\nbe taking us out of our\n\nway.\n\nELAINE\nI need those clubs.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I want my car.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't know what to do.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey, we got ten thousand deposit bottles\nhere. I mean, this guy\n\ncould be going to Arkansas.\n\nJERRY\nKeep following him Kramer. don't let\nme down.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey, don't listen to him. I mean, we\ncan't afford a detour. Our\n\nbudget won't hold it.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't know what to do man!\n\nNEWMAN\nKramer! Stay left. Left, left, left.\n\nELAINE/JERRY\nRight. Go right!/South!\n\nKRAMER\nAlright! Alright. I'm getting off! I'm\ngonna go on the ramp.\n\nKramer swerves onto the off-ramp at the last moment. Tyres squeal\nand\n\nthe truck sways.\n\n(Mail Truck)\n\nNEWMAN\nI hope you realise what you've done.\nYou've destroyed our whole\n\nventure.\n\nKRAMER\nThis ramp is steep.\n\nNEWMAN\nAll my work, my planning, my genius.\nAll for nought.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, look, we're pulling too much\nweight. He's getting away\n\nfrom us here. (indicating) Take the wheel.\n\nNewman reaches across and takes the steering wheel as Kramer\ngets out\n\nof the driving seat.\n\nNEWMAN\nWhat're you doing?\n\nKRAMER\n(climbing though into the back of the\ntruck) I'm gonna get\n\nsomething.\n\nNEWMAN\nAre you crazy?\n\nThe truck swerves as Newman slides into the driving seat.\n\nKRAMER\nKeep your foot on the gas.\n\nKramer shoves his way through the sackloads of bottles and cans.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey! You're not dumping those bottles\nback there, are you?\n\nKramer slides open the rear door of the truck.\n\nNEWMAN\nHey Kramer, those have wholesale value!\nWe could cut our\n\nlosses.\n\nKramer grabs a sack and heaves it out the back of the truck.\n\nKRAMER\nLook out below!!\n\nCar horns can be heard as the sack lands in the carriageway.\nKramer\n\ngrabs another sack and hurls that out, with another yelled warning.\n\nSteinbrenner's Office)\n\nSteinbrenner sits behind his desk. He's examining something on\nhis\n\ndesktop with a large powerful magnifying glass.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\n(to himself) With this magnifying glass,\nI feel like a\n\nscientist.\n\nThere is a tap at the door, and George cautiously enters.\n\nGEORGE\nYou wanted to see me, sir?\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nAh, come in George, come in.\n\nGeorge strolls up to Big Stein's desk, looking more confident.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nUh, Wilhelm gave me this project you\nworked on.\n\nGEORGE\n(smiling) Yes sir.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nLet me ask you something, George. You\nhaving any personal\n\nproblems at home? Girl trouble, love trouble of any kind?\n\nGEORGE\n(wondering where this is leading) No\nsir.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nWhat about drugs? You doing some of\nthat crack cocaine?\n\nYou on the pipe?\n\nGEORGE\n(worried now) No sir.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nAre you seeing a psychiatrist? Bcause\nI got a flash for\n\nyou young man, you're non compos mentis! You got some bats in\nthe belfry!\n\nGEORGE\nWhat're.. What're you talking about?\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nGeorge, I've read this report. It's\nvery troubling, very\n\ntroubling indeed. It's a sick mind at work here.\n\nTwo burly guys who are clearly medical orderlies come into the\nroom\n\nbehind George.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nOkay, come on boys, come on in here.\nGeorge, this is Herb\n\nand Dan.\n\nGeorge regards the two guys, very nervously as they approach\nhim and\n\nstand behind him, one on either shoulder.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nThey're gonna take you away to a nice\nplace where you can\n\nget some help. They're very friendly people there. My brother-in-law\nwas there\n\nfor a couple of weeks. The man was obsessed with lactating women.\nThey\n\ncompletely cured him, although he still eats a lot of cheese.\n\nHerb and Dan take hold of George's arms. George gets panicky.\n\nGEORGE\nAh, see, Mister.. I didn't write that\nreport. That, that's not\n\nmine.\n\nHerb and Dan begin to drag the struggling George across the office\n\ntoward the door.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nOf course you didn't George. Of course\nyou didn't write\n\nit.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't do it! It..It just got done.\nI don't know how it got\n\ndone, but it did.\n\nAs Herb and Dan haul George through the door, George makes his\nlast\n\nstand, trying to get a hold on the doorframe with his feet. Eventually\nhe is\n\ndragged out into the corridor and vanishes from view.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nOf course. Of course it got done. Things\nget done all the\n\ntime, I understand. (as George disappears) Don't worry, your\njob'll be waiting\n\nfor you when you get back. (banging his fist on his desk) Get\nbetter George.\n\nGet better!\n\n(Mail Truck)\n\nThe Saab travels down a quiet country road at night, followed\nby the\n\nmail truck. Kramer is driving, Newman looks furious in the passenger\nseat.\n\nKRAMER\n(frustrated) Damn. I don't understand\nthis. I've ditched every\n\nbottle and can, and we still can't gain. It's like we're...\n\nHe looks across at the substantial bulk of Newman and a thought\noccurs.\n\nKRAMER\n...sluggish.\n\nNEWMAN\nI went through all those bottles and\nall those cans, for what?\n\nWhat a waste. And I'm really gonna catch hell for those missing\nmailbags.\n\nKRAMER\nHeyy, wasn't that a pie stand back there?\n\nNEWMAN\n(perks up) A pie stand? Where?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah. Home-made pies, two hundred\nyards back.\n\nNEWMAN\nAww, c'mon, pull over, pull over will\nya.\n\nKramer pulls the truck into the roadside. As it halts, Newman\nsticks\n\nhis head out the window to peer back down the road.\n\nNEWMAN\nWhere? I..I..I don't see it.\n\nKRAMER\nWell open the door, you get a better\nlook.\n\nNewman slides back the door and leans out.\n\nNEWMAN\nI don't see any pie...\n\nKramer plants his foot firmly in Newman's backside and heaves\nhim out\n\nof the truck.\n\nNEWMAN\n...Aargh!\n\nAs Newman lands heavily in the verge, Kramer slides the door\nshut and\n\ndrives away.\n\nNEWMAN\nKramer!!\n\nKRAMER\nI'm sorry Newman, you were holding us\nback.\n\nNEWMAN\n(after speeding truck) Kramer!!\n\nIn the mail truck, Kramer picks up his phone and redials.\n\nKRAMER\n(shouting) Jerry! We've lost the fat\nman, and we're running\n\nlean. We're back on track, buddy!\n\n(Country Roadside)\n\nNewman wanders forlornly along the roadside at night. He tries\nto thumb\n\na ride from passing traffic, displaying his uniform insignia\nto drivers.\n\nNEWMAN\nFederal employee. Federal employee.\n\nAside from a few blaring car horns, he gets no response. He continues\n\nhis trudge, a sour look on his face.\n\n(Countryside)\n\nNewman struggles up a steep slope.\n\nNewman pushes his way through a field of crops. He emerges from\nthe\n\nvegetation and sees a farmhouse, its lights blazing. His face\nlights up. He\n\nstumbles towards the welcoming lights, tripping and falling,\nbefore picking\n\nhimself up and running up to the building.\n\n(Farm)\n\nNewman reaches the steps to the porch and stumbles up them. As\nhe\n\nreaches the door, a scent catches his attention. Looking to the\nwindow, he sees a\n\npie left out on the window sill to cool. A craftier look comes\nto his face. He\n\nturns back to the door and knocks. After a few seconds, it opens.\n\nFARMER\nHello stranger.\n\nNEWMAN\n(a touch desperate) Ah, look, I..I'm\nsorry to bother you, but\n\nI'm a US postal worker and my mail truck was just ambushed by\na band of\n\nbackwoods mail-hating survivalists.\n\nFARMER\nCalm down, now. Calm down. Don't worry,\nwe'll take care of you.\n\nThis farm ain't much, but uh, you're welcome to what we have.\nHot bath,\n\nhearty meal, clean bed.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh, thank you, sir.\n\nFARMER\nJust have one rule. Keep your hands\noff my daughter.\n\nJust then, the daughter in question slinks up behind the farmer.\n\nBlonde, twenty-ish, just one walking temptation.\n\n(Mail Truck/Jerry's Apartment)\n\nKramer has the mail truck right behind Jerry's Saab as they race\nalong\n\na quiet country road.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, we got 'im. I'm riding his tail.\nThere's no escape. He's\n\nrunning scared, buddy.\n\nJerry and Elaine are sitting on the couch, each with a phone\nhandset.\n\nJERRY\nHow's the gas situation?\n\nKRAMER\n(checks dial) I got enough to get to\nMemphis.\n\nIn front of him, Tony reaches into the back seat of the Saab.\n\nKRAMER\nHe's reaching in back. He's grabbing\nat something.\n\nTony extracts a long, metallic object from behind himself.\n\nKRAMER\nHe's pulling out a gun! He's got a gun,\nJerry!!\n\nJERRY\nDuck, Kramer! Duck!\n\nKramer crouches as far as he can. Tony flings the object at Kramer's\n\nmail truck. It crashes against the windshield and bounces away.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's a golf club! It's no gun. He threw\na golf club at me!\n\nELAINE\nThose are JFK's golf clubs!\n\nTony hurls another club at the mail truck. Again, it bounces\noff the\n\nwindshield, leaving some cracks.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I'm under fire here. (another club\nhits) I'm under heavy\n\nfire here, boy. (another hit) Jeez! That was a five-iron!\n\nELAINE\nStop the truck, Kramer. Pick up the\nclubs!\n\nJERRY\nNo, don't stop, Kramer. Keep going,\ndon't let him get away.\n\nKRAMER\nWait a minute, I think he's done. (peers\nat the Saab) Oh no,\n\nhe's taking out the woods!\n\nTony flings a heavy wood at the truck.\n\nKRAMER\n(noise)\n\nThe Saab leads the truck down the road, with Tony hurling club\nafter\n\nclub over his shoulder and into the front of the truck.\n\nKRAMER\n(yelling at Tony) You'll have to do\na lot better than that!\n\nTony hurls the golf bag at the truck. It slams solidly against\nthe\n\nwindshield, Kramer flinches, the truck swerves. The front wheel\nruns over a club on\n\nthe tarmac and the tyre bursts.\n\nJERRY\n(hearing the noises) What's happening!\n\nThe truck is rattling and lurching as it struggles along the\nroad.\n\nKRAMER\nThis truck is dying. We're losing him.\n\nThe Saab easily outpaces the truck and accelerates away. The\ntruck\n\nstaggers to a halt, giving out a death rattle. A cloud of steam\nand smoke erupts from\n\nunder the hood.\n\nKRAMER\nI think we lost him.\n\nJERRY\n(disappointment) Dammit!\n\nELAINE\n(quietly) Can you stop and pick up those\nclubs Kramer?\n\nKRAMER\n(subdued) Yeah, yeah, I'll get 'em.\n\nJerry hangs up.\n\n(Country)\n\nKramer climbs out of the truck and looks back down the road.\nHe kicks\n\nthe deflated tyre. Coming to the front of the truck, he picks\na club off\n\nthe front bumper and pulls the broken shaft of another out of\nthe radiator\n\ngrille.\n\nKramer walks along the road with the bent and broken clubs. He\ncomes\n\nupon the bag and transfers the clubs into it. Slinging it over\nhis shoulder, he\n\ncontinues on his way, picking up more battered golf clubs as\nhe goes.\n\n(Farm)\n\nNewman, the farmer and the farmer's daughter sit round the kitchen\n\ntable. They are working their way through a generous meal.\n\nFARMER\nEnjoy that mutton?\n\nNEWMAN\n(mouth full) It's delicious mutton.\nThis is uh, this is outta\n\nsight. I would, I would love to get the recipe. It's very good.\n\nThe farmer's daughter is staring at Newman and toying with her\nfork,\n\ntouching it to her lips and teeth. (It's difficult to be arousing\nwith cutlery, but\n\nshe's giving it a pretty good shot.)

Begin!\n\n(Kramer then frantically makes several karate hand motions, intimidating\nJoey. What follows is a montage of sequences featuring Kramer\nchallenging his class. He grabs an opponent by the foot and flips\nhim over; knocks one out with a simple karate chop to the head;\nhas another turned upside down being shaken violently; drags\nanother along the floor; and chases several at once.)\n\nSENSEI\n(raising Kramer's arm) Winner!\n\n(The other kids bow their heads in disgrace.)\n\nGeorge's apartment, in a very cluttered state. George is walking\naround in nothing but boxers, humming to himself while carrying\na soda and a block of cheese.

ROSS\nHello, George.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, uh... come in, come, come in.\n(frantically clears the couch of newspapers\nand crumbs)\n\nMR. ROSS\nWe, uh, tried to call, but the line\nwas busy.\n\nGEORGE\nOh. Oh. Yeah, sure. Here. Uh, sit down.\nUh, uh, cheese, there? (he grabs a suit\njacket from the desk chair and puts\nit on)\n\nMRS. ROSS\nWe know the last three months have been\nhard on you.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, yes, yes, yes. Very, very hard.\n\nMR. ROSS\nAnd they've been hard on us, too. It's\na terrible tragedy when parents outlive\ntheir children.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, I agree. I hope my parents go long\nbefore I do.\n\nMR. ROSS\nThat's why we decided to create a foundation\nto preserve Susan's memory.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, that's wonderful.\n\nMr. Ross. And, of course, we want you to be an integral part.\n\nGEORGE\nYes, inte-- h-how inte-- how integral?\n\nMR. ROSS\nYou'll be on the board of directors.\n\nGEORGE\n(feigning excitement) Great, great.\nO-Oh, oh, oh, gosh. You know, it's just...\nmy duties with the Yankees...\n\nMRS. ROSS\nDon't worry, George. The foundation\nwill revolve around your schedule. Evenings,\nweekends, whenever you have free time.\n\nGEORGE\nI can't believe this is happening.\n\nMR. ROSS\nWell, it wouldn't have without your\nfriend Jerry's inspirational words.\nHe said to us, \"She's not really dead\nif her shadow is...\" Uh, w-what was\nit, dear?\n\nMRS. ROSS\nSomething about a way, a-and a light,\nuh... ha. Who the hell knows?\n\nMR. ROSS\nWell, what's important is that your\nrelationship with Susan doesn't have\nto end.\n\nMRS. ROSS\nSo will you be sure to thank Jerry for\nus?\n\nGEORGE\n(feigning happiness) The second I see\nhim.\n\nThe coffee shop. Jerry is having lunch when George walks in.)\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nGEORGE\nHey. How's your day, good?\n\nJERRY\nActually, yeah. I'm meeting Mulva here\nin a few minutes.\n\nGEORGE\nSo uh... Wrath of Khan, huh?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Was that a beauty or what?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat was that line again? Something\nabout finding your way in a shadow?\n\nJERRY\nNo, no, no, it's... \"She's not really\ndead if we find a way to remember her.\"\n\nGEORGE\nThat's it. That's the line... (squirts\nmustard into Jerry's coffee and stirs\nit) ...that destroyed my life.\n\nJERRY\n(stares into coffee cup and looks back\nat George) Problem?\n\nGEORGE\nThe Rosses have started up a foundation,\nJerry, and I have to sit on the board\nof directors.\n\nJERRY\nHey, board of directors. Look at you!\n\nGEORGE\nYeah! Look at me! I was free and clear!\nI was living the dream! I was stripped\nto the waist, eating a block of cheese\nthe size of a car battery!\n\nJERRY\nBefore we go any further, I'd just like\nto point out how disturbing it is that\nyou equate eating a block of cheese\nwith some sort of bachelor paradise.\n\nGEORGE\nDon't you see? I'm back in.\n\nJERRY\nAll because of Wrath of Khan?\n\nGEORGE\nYes!\n\nJERRY\nWell, it was the best of those movies.\n\n(The camera is over George's head and spins around repeatedly\nas George screams.)\n\nGEORGE\nKHAN!\n\nThe foundation.

I know they have some monies.\n\nWYCK\nThey had more than some monies. Many,\nmany monies. And they planned to give\na sizable portion of their estate to\nyou and Susan after the wedding.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, if Susan and I had... I mean, if\nthe envelopes hadn't, uh... then we--\n\nWYCK\nYes.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd now?\n\nWYCK\nNot. It's all been endowed to the foundation,\neven this townhouse.\n\nGEORGE\nThis townhouse?\n\nWYCK\nThis would have been your wedding gift.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd now?\n\nWYCK\nNot.\n\nGEORGE\nNot.\n\nWYCK\nAlso endowed. George... I know how much\nSusan meant to you. It can't be easy.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, it really can't.\n\nThe coffee shop.)\n\nMULVA\nSo who broke it off?\n\nJERRY\nWell, that's the thing. It was completely\nmutual.\n\nMULVA\nOh, come on. Everybody knows there's\nno such thing as a mutual breakup. Tell\nme the truth.\n\nJERRY\nI am. It was the world's first.\n\nMULVA\nYou know, when I heard you got engaged,\nI thought *maybe* you had matured. But\nobviously there's no growth here. (exits)\n\nJERRY\nWell, I can't argue with that, but the\nfact remains... I was completely...\n(to himself, cursing her) Mulva!\n\nJerry's apartment.

When\nI told you my breakup was mutual, did\nyou believe me?\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, no. It's weak. No one's gonna\nbuy it, and you shouldn't be selling\nit.\n\nJERRY\nI gotta do some research here.\n\nELAINE\nHey, hey. Me. Talking. You know, between\nyou and me, I always thought Kramer\nwas a bit of a doofus, but he believed\nin me. *You* did not. So as I see it,\nhe's not the doofus. *You* are the doofus.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm the doofus?\n\nELAINE\nYeah. You, Jerry, are the doofus.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, it occurs to me that Kramer\nis at karate right now.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well, maybe I'll just go down there\nand thank him in person.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that's what I was thinking.\n\nKramer's karate class. Kramer is beating his opponent, a little\ngirl. Elaine walks in, surprised.)\n\nELAINE\nKramer!\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey.\n\nELAINE\nWhat are you doing?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, well, I-I-I'm dominating.\n\nELAINE\nYou never said you were fighting children.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's not the size of the opponent,\nElaine, it's, uh, the ferocity.\n\nELAINE\nThis is what you used to build me up?\nThis is where you got all that stupid\nkatra stuff?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. That's from, uh, Star Trek III...\nThe Search for Spock.\n\nELAINE\nSearch... for Spock?!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I know Jerry will tell you that\nThe Wrath of Khan is the better picture,\nbut for me, I always...\n\nELAINE\n(pushes him) You doofus!\n\n(As Kramer is knocked down, there is amazed murmuring among his\npeers.)\n\nThe coffee shop. Jerry is conducting some research.)\n\nJERRY\nOkay, question #8. What if I told you\nmy fiancee left me for another man?\nDoes that make me more likable, less\nlikable, as likable? Let's start over\nhere this time.\n\nWAITRESS #1\nMore.\n\nWAITRESS #2\nLess.\n\nRUTHIE\nSame.\n\nWILLIE\nAre we about through here?\n\n(Jerry crosses off something on his clipboard.)\n\nA dark, foggy street.

Hey, Timmy, Clara.\nThat was some kind of workout we had\ntonight, huh?\n\nGIRL\nNow we finish it.\n\n(Kramer tries to escape up the fire escape ladder, but the kids\ndrag him down.)\n\nKRAMER\nAah! Aah! Mama!\n\nJerry's apartment.)\n\nJERRY\n(on the phone) Dad, I wouldn't eat anything\nyou caught in that pond out in front\nof the condo.\n\n(Elaine enters.)\n\nJERRY\nUh, look, Elaine's here, I gotta get\ngoing.

You put out the\ncatalog. How bad could it be?\n\n(Elaine takes out the Urban Sombrero and puts it on.)\n\nJERRY\nWhat is that?\n\nELAINE\nIt's the Urban Sombrero.

But, you don't\nlike her, so...\n\nJERRY\nMaybe I could, you're making some pretty\ngood points.\n\nKRAMER\nNo you can't, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nBut I might.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, no you don't.\n\nJERRY\nWhy not? The voice? The calves? The\nbacon?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat...?\n\nJERRY\nI think I can! I even like the name!\nPam!\n\nKRAMER\nHuh?\n\nJERRY\nPam!\n\nKRAMER\nHuh?\n\nJERRY\nPam!\n\nKRAMER\nHuh-yah!

(Newman walks\nin front of Kramer and trips over his\nfeet. Again.) I won't allow your love\nto go unrequited. Not like mine.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat, again with you?\n\nNEWMAN\nSorry. But love is spice with many tastes.\nA dizzying array of textures...and moments.\n\nKRAMER\nIf only I could say things like that\naround her.\n\nNEWMAN\nYes...\n\nNew scene - Elaine and George at the coffee shop listening to\nthe briefcase tape.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I hear three distinct sounds.\nA low rumple...followed by a metallic\n'squink'...\n\nGEORGE\nYes! Yes, I heard the 'squink'!\n\nELAINE\n...followed by a mysterious...'glonk.'\n\nGEORGE\nIt's baffling, isn't it?\n\nELAINE\nWell, one question does come to mind.\nHave you considered just...asking them\nwhat happened to the briefcase?\n\nGEORGE\nThey would never tell me, Elaine. First\nof all, they probably think that I killed\nSusan. Besides, I don't even think they\nlike me. (Jerry comes over to the table.)\n\nJERRY\nThat Pam! I am ga-ga over her!\n\nELAINE\nGa-ga? When did that happen?\n\nJERRY\nYesterday. Six-ish.\n\nELAINE\nWell, maybe we should double.

How are you?\n\nPAM\nI'm great.\n\nNEWMAN\nI too am well.\n\nKRAMER\nI too am well.\n\nNEWMAN\nDo I smell Pantene?\n\nKRAMER\nDo I smell?\n\nNEWMAN\nPantene!\n\nKRAMER\nUh, Pantene.\n\nPAM\nOh, my shampoo. Yeah, it is Pantene,\nI got a free sample in with my junk\nmail.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, there really is no junk-mail...well,\neverybody wants to get a check or a\nbirthday card, but...\n\nNEWMAN\n...it takes just as much man-power to\ndeliver it as their precious little\ngreeting cards...\n\nKRAMER\nNewman! (Elbows him through the books.\nNewman falls over.)\n\nPAM\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, human. It's...human to be moved\nby a fragrance.\n\nPAM\nThat's so true.\n\nKRAMER\nHer bouquet cleaved his hardened...\n\nNEWMAN\nShell.\n\nKRAMER\n...shell. And fondled his muscled heart.\nHe embibed her glistening spell...just\nbefore the other shoe...fell.\n\nPAM\nKramer, that is so lovely.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's by an unknown 20th-century poet.\n\nPAM\nOh, what's his name?\n\nKRAMER\nNewman.

(A manic chase scene\nensues, with Jerry chasing Newman from\none end of the building to the other.\nJerry finally catches up with him in\nthe hallway on another floor.)\n\nJERRY\nAlright, Newman! This is it! (Shoves\nhim against the wall.)\n\nNEWMAN\nEasy, Jerry. Steady. You wouldn't want\nto lose your cool at a time like this.\n\nJERRY\nWhy not?\n\nNEWMAN\nBecause right now, I'm the only chance\nyou've got. (Newman giggles nervously.\nJerry makes Newman flinch, and his giggling\nis choked off.)\n\nJERRY\nC'mon. (They exit.)\n\nNew scene - Jerry and Newman in Newman's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe I'm losing Pam!\n\nNEWMAN\nI know how you feel. For I, too, have\na woman for whom I pine.\n\nJERRY\nI thought we were talking about me.\n\nNEWMAN\nRight.\n\nJERRY\nAnyway, I don't need your help. (Turns\nto leave.)\n\nNEWMAN\nOh, don't you? Joke boy? You really\nthink you can manipulate that beautiful\nyoung woman like the half-soused nightclub\nrabble that lap up your inane \"observations\"?\n\nJERRY\nAlright, Newman. What do I have to do\nto get you to stop pulling the strings\nfor Kramer?\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, there is a little something you\ncan do for me...\n\nJERRY\nC'mon, out with it.\n\nNEWMAN\nIt's about...Elaine.\n\nJERRY\nElaine? What does she have to - (notices\nNewman looking up at him longlingly.)\nOh no...\n\nNEWMAN\nYou dated her. Give me some inside information.\nAnything I can use!\n\nJERRY\nWell, I know she doesn't want to have\nkids. (Newman considers the implications\nof this.)\n\nCut back to Elaine and Kevin at Elaine's apartment.\n\nKEVIN\nI thought you'd be a little more enthusiastic\nabout it.\n\nELAINE\nI know, I don't want...(clears her throat)...kids.\n\nKEVIN\nWhat was that?\n\nELAINE\nWell, Kevin, maybe I have a little doubt.\nI mean, nothing is a hundred percent.\n\nKEVIN\nThis is! Oh boy, I always do this.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nKEVIN\nOh, I get all jazzed up about something\nand I go way to far with it.\n\nELAINE\nReally?\n\nKEVIN\nOh, yeah. Like last summer. I'm watchin'\nTV and I saw one of those jet-skis.\n$4000 later and it's sitting in my garage.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, that's weird, actually, 'cause\nI'm sort of the same way. I mean once\nfor like, no reason, I flattened my\nhair and I had all these strands hanging\nin my face all the time...\n\nKEVIN\nSometimes I think I do want kids. Maybe\na lot of kids!\n\nELAINE\nSometimes I think about wearing my hair\nreal short.\n\nKEVIN\nYeah! I think I like short hair. Really\nshort.\n\nELAINE\nYeah!\n\nKEVIN\nYeah!\n\nNew scene - Jerry and George in Jerry's kitchen.

(Picks\nup a red Power Ranger action figure\nfrom the model and pretends it's him.)\nNow, from the time I left the room...\n\nJERRY\nWait, that's you?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nI really think the M&M should be you.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, whatever! Now. Whatever caused\nthe damage...(drops a tiny briefcase\nonto the table in the model)...was jarring\nenough to completely stop the tape.\n\nJERRY\nAnd?\n\nGEORGE\nOkay.

You're right, I'm\nnot ready for this. (The door buzzer\nsounds, Jerry answers it.) Yeah?\n\nVOICE ON SPEAKER\nIt's Pam.\n\nJERRY\nC'mon up. (To George) Alright, it's\nPam, you gotta get goin.'\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not through here, Jerry. (Picks\nup the model of the conference room.)\nI'm gonna keep on investigating.

My world suddenly has\nmeaning!\n\nJERRY\nThis is the man you have a crush on?\n\nPAM\nWell, I have feelings for both of you.\n\nKRAMER\nHow can you have feelings for him? We're\nsoul mates.\n\nJERRY\nWhy can't I be a soul mate?\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, you really think that Pam would\nwant you to be the father of her children?\n\nPAM\nChildren? Who said anything about children?\nI don't want to have children.\n\n(Jerry and Kramer look at each other, puzzled.)\n\nNew scene - George back at the conference room at the Foundation.\n\nGEORGE\nThere are some people in this room who\nwould have been very happy to never\nsee this briefcase again. There are\npeople in this room who think they can\ndestroy other people's property and\nget away with it. Well, let me tell\nyou something about those people. They\nweren't counting on this brain! And\nthis tape recorder.\n\nWYCK\nGeorge...\n\nGEORGE\nYou'll have your turn! The truth must\nbe heard. (Plays back the tape.) That's\nall there was. And yet, it speaks volumes.\nA low rumple.

So, did ya have\na good time at the party last night?\n\nANNA\nIt was a real... kick.\n\nELAINE\nHey, did you happen to speak to my friend\nGeorge?\n\nANNA\nAs a matter of fact I did.\n\nELAINE\nAh hah. Well, listen. You would be wise\nto keep your distance from him.\n\nANNA\nWhy? He seems harmless.\n\nELAINE\nOh he's not. He's very harmful.\n\nANNA\nReally?\n\nELAINE\nOh trust me. He's a bad seed. He's a\nhorrible seed. He's one of the worst\n\nseeds I've ever seen.\n\nANNA\nAnd you two are friends?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, we're good friends.\n\nGEORGE\nSo this Anna called me from out of the\nblue.\n\nJERRY\nReally? I thought you were rebuffed.\n\nGEORGE\nWith extreme prejudice.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe Elaine put in a good word for\nyou.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. That's just the thing. Anna\ntold me that Elaine said I was one of\n\nthe worst seeds she'd ever seen.\n\nJERRY\nInteresting. She doesn't care for you,\nthen a stern warning, suddenly a\n\nphone call. Seems Elaine's made you the bad boy. And Anna digs\nthe bad boy.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm the bad boy. I've never been the\nbad boy.\n\nJERRY\nYou've been the bad employee, the bad\nson, the bad friend...\n\nGEORGE\nYes, yes...\n\nJERRY\nThe bad fianc\u00e9', the bad dinner guest,\nthe bad credit risk...\n\nGEORGE\nOkay, the point is made.\n\nJERRY\nThe bad date, the bad sport, the bad\ncitizen... (looks at table as George\n\nexits) The bad tipper!\n\nJERRY\nHalf of show business is here.\n\nKRAMER\nThere's Brody. Brody! Over here.\n\nBRODY\nHey Kramer. And you must be Jerry. Thanks\nfor the ticket.\n\nJERRY\nThat's quite a feed bag you're workin'\non there.\n\nBRODY\nIt's for all of us. Is there a problem?\n\nKRAMER\nBrody, c'mon. He's just kidding. He's\na joke maker. Tell him, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nI'm a joke maker.\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, here we go, Death Blow. (Brody\ntakes out video camera)\n\nJERRY\n(To Kramer) Hey, hey, what the hell\nis he doing?\n\nKRAMER\nRelax, he does that all the time.\n\nJERRY\nDoes what?\n\nKRAMER\nHe's making a copy of the movie for\nsale on the street, huh?\n\nJERRY\nMay I see you outside for a moment please?\n\nKRAMER\nBut I want to--\n\nJERRY\nOutside!\n\nELAINE\nHey, have you seen Anna?\n\nWORKER\nUh, she just went to meet your friend\nGeorge.\n\nELAINE\nTo meet George? I knew it. Where did\nthey go?\n\nWORKER\nThe park, why?\n\nELAINE\nDon't you see? George is in the bloodstream!\nYou stay away from him, too!\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you mean he's bootlegging the\nmovie?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's a perfectly legitimate business.\n\nJERRY\nIt's not legitimate.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's a business.\n\nJERRY\nWhere did you meet this guy?\n\nKRAMER\nHe's a friend of a friend. You know\nCorky Ramarez up on 94th Street? One\nday he and I are playing Pinochle--\n\nJERRY\nKramer. (boom sound)\n\nKRAMER\nMan, we're missin' the Death Blow!\n\nJERRY\nI don't believe this. (They run into\ntheater)\n\nANNA\nYou know I'm not supposed to be talking\nto you.\n\nGEORGE\nNo one's putting a gun to your head.\nDo I, uh, scare you?\n\nANNA\nNo... a little. Nice car.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, she's a sweet ride.\n\nANNA\nIs that your orthopedic back pillow?\n\nGEORGE\nMaybe.\n\nANNA\nWell is it or isn't it?\n\nGEORGE\nGuess not.\n\nELAINE\n(To George) Stay away from her.\n\nGEORGE\nI didn't do nothin'.\n\nELAINE\n(To Anna) Get in the car.\n\nANNA\nBut...\n\nELAINE\nYou heard me young lady, get in the\ncar. (To George) And you, you should\nknow better. I don't want you infecting\nmy staff.\n\nGEORGE\nLighten up.\n\nKRAMER\nGo get 'em, Death Blow! (To Brody) You\nokay?\n\nBRODY\nUh, I got a cramp.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, it's no wonder. You ate that entire\nbag of candy.\n\nBRODY\nUh, there it goes again. Kramer, you\ngotta drive me home.\n\nJERRY\nHey, what is going on over there?\n\nBRODY\nJerry, finish shooting the movie for\nme.\n\nJERRY\nAre you nuts? There's no way I'm holding\nthat thing.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, if the man is in pain...\n\nJERRY\nYeah well, maybe if he didn't lick his\nfingers before he reached in the bag\nwe would've eaten some. Serves him right.\n\nBRODY\n(pulls out a gun) What are you some\nkind of tough guy?\n\nKRAMER\nOkay. Let's everybody just relax. Jerry,\ntake the camera.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, I'm takin' the camera.\n\nKRAMER\n(To Brody) C'mon, let's go.\n\nJERRY\nOh man...\n\nKRAMER\nHey man, so how was the rest of Death\nBlow?\n\nJERRY\nHow was the rest of Death Blow?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, who got the final Death Blow,\n'cause I thought that Hawaiian guy had\nit comin' to him!\n\nJERRY\nKramer, you make me get a ticket for\nthis friend of yours and then the guy\nforces me to bootleg the movie at gun\npoint!\n\nKRAMER\nHe's quite a character, isn't he?\n\nJERRY\nYou know, he came by here at 3 o'clock\nin the morning to pick up the tape.\nI was scared out of my mind!\n\nKRAMER\nI got it. Yep.\n\nBRODY\nBrody.\n\nKRAMER\nCome on up. It's Brody.\n\nJERRY\nWhat are you, crazy? I don't want to\nsee this guy again.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, you did him a favor. He probably\nwants to come up and thank you.\n\nJERRY\nWhat if I didn't do it right?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's your first time. He'll understand.\n\nJERRY\nPeople with guns don't understand. That's\nwhy they get guns. Too many\n\nmisunderstandings.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Brody!\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\nBRODY\nJerry, I have to talk to you about the\ntape.\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nBRODY\nI've never seen such beautiful work.\nYou're a genius. The zoom-ins, the\n\nframing. I was enchanted.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I did the best I could.\n\nBRODY\nI got another project for you. It's\na movie called Cry Cry Again. I was\ngonna give it to one of my other guys,\nbut it's an arty movie and quite frankly,\nthey don't have the sensibility.\n\nBRODY\nMay I use your phone?\n\nKRAMER\nUh yeah. It's under the couch.\n\nKRAMER\nLook at you! You've got another gig!\n\nJERRY\nI don't want another gig! I'm not doin'\nthis.\n\nKRAMER\nBut you have a gift. Jerry, this is\nnot your little comedy act. We're\n\ntalkin' feature films.\n\nJERRY\nWe're talkin' federal crime here.\n\nBRODY\n(To Jerry) I'll expect that tape by\nthree o'clock tomorrow. (To Kramer)\nMay I borrow this? (Holding baseball\nbat)\n\nKRAMER\nSure, do you need a glove?\n\nBRODY\nNah.\n\nWORKER\nI pressed through the rushes and there,\nthe native dancers whirled before me:\nlimbs flailing, arms akimbo, feet kicking\nup dust... (All workers laugh)\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nANNA\nSorry, I got hung up.\n\nELAINE\nAt Yankee Stadium?\n\nANNA\nThis? It's mine.\n\nELAINE\nOh really? 'Cause it looks a little\nbig for you. It looks like something\na short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man\nmight wear.\n\nANNA\nHe's not stocky.\n\nELAINE\nWho did that? Who did that?!?\n\nKRAMER\n(laughing) The French guy fell off the\nbike. Oh man, that's precious. (eats\npopcorn)\n\nJERRY\nNo, no, no, no, no, no, no! What were\nyou thinking when you shot this?\n\nKRAMER\nThat's fine.\n\nJERRY\nDo you even know what this scene is\nabout?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's about a guy buying a loaf of bread.\n\nJERRY\nNo, bread is his soul. He's trying to\nbuy back a loaf of his soul.\n\n(Gesturing taking a loaf of bread.)\n\nKRAMER\nWha? Where?\n\nJERRY\nKramer there is no way you're giving\nthis tape to Brody and telling him I\nshot it.\n\nKRAMER\nNah, he's not going to know the difference.\n\nJERRY\nI don't care about Brody. I was up on\n96th Street today, there was a kid couldn't\nhave been more than ten years old. He\nwas asking a street vendor if he had\nany other bootlegs as good as Death\nBlow. That's who I care about. The little\nkid who needs bootlegs, because his\nparent or guardian won't let him see\nthe excessive violence and strong sexual\ncontent you and I take for granted.\n\nKRAMER\nSo you'll do the movie? (Jerry watches\nthe movie Kramer shot)\n\nJERRY\nI have to. But I'm gonna need to storyboard\nthis whole thing. Where are my magic\nmarkers?\n\nKRAMER\nRight here. (Elaine enters)\n\nELAINE\nWell, I have lost complete control of\nmy staff. Why did I let George go to\nthat party? I mean, we were having so\nmuch fun. We were wining, we were dining,\nwe were dancing. (She starts dancing,\nKramer flips out) What?\n\nKRAMER\n(He shows her) This umpf thing.\n\nELAINE\nIt's dancing.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. That ain't dancing, Sally.\n\nELAINE\nI dance fine.\n\nKRAMER\nYou stink. (He exits)\n\nELAINE\nHe doesn't know what he's talkin' about.\n(Jerry fake laughs) Jer? Jerry, I'm\na good dancer, right?\n\nJERRY\nI forgot to make my bed. (He tries to\nget away)\n\nELAINE\nJerry, do I stink?\n\nJERRY\nAll right, you're beyond stink.\n\nELAINE\nBut I really enjoy dancing.\n\nJERRY\nAnd that's not helpin' either. That's\nwhy you're havin' trouble with your\nstaff, not because of George.\n\nELAINE\nIt's that bad?\n\nJERRY\nHave you ever seen yourself? (She starts\ndancing) Ah, ah, please, please. Not\nin my home. I gotta go throw this stuff\nin the laundry. I'll be right back.\n\n(Elaine sees video camera)\n\nVOICE\nI have George Costanza still holding.\n\nELAINE\nGeorge, hi. I have Anna here. There's\nsomething I wanna say to both of you.\n\nGEORGE\nYo, Anna.\n\nANNA\nHi, George. What're you up to?\n\nGEORGE\n(Ironing) You don't wanna know.\n\nELAINE\nUh, well, listen. I feel really horrible\nabout trying to keep you two apart and\nI just wanted to apologize.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat're you talkin' about?\n\nELAINE\nWell, George, I just want you to hear\nme say to Anna that you're a good and\ndecent person.\n\nGEORGE\nPick up the phone, Elaine. Pick it up!\n\nELAINE\nI never should have given Anna the impression--\n\nGEORGE\nPick it up, pick it up!\n\nELAINE\n--that you're a bad seed, I mean, you're\na fine seed.\n\nGEORGE\nElaine, get off the speaker! (Elaine\npicks up phone)\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nYou are ruinin' everything.\n\nELAINE\nI'm trying to help. Why are you being\nso difficult?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. More\nof that, difficult. I'm a\n\ndifficult seed.\n\nELAINE\nGeorge, I don't have time for this.\nUh, Anna, do you wanna talk to George?\n\nANNA\nUm, no, I don't think so.\n\nELAINE\nNo, she doesn't want to. Okay, bye,\nGeorge. We'll see ya.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm a bad man!\n\nBRODY\nSo where's the tape?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I didn't shoot this one. I'm just\nscouting the location.\n\nBRODY\nI need the tape.\n\nJERRY\nYou'll get your tape. But here's what\nI'm gonna need. I'm gonna need three\ncameras, two on the floor, one in the\nbalcony. And I want headsets for the\nguys runnin' 'em. I wanna be able to\ntalk to 'em.\n\nBRODY\nAre you out of your mind?\n\nJERRY\nKramer...\n\nKRAMER\nI know, Jerry. It's okay. (Jerry steps\naside) Yeah, look, Brody. Uh,\n\nJerry wants to do the bootleg. He's dyin' to do it. But if you\ndon't make him\n\nhappy, the work suffers. And then, nobody's happy.\n\nBRODY\nJust shoot the damn thing so I can get\nit out on the street!\n\nJERRY\nAll right. That's it, I can't work like\nthis.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry...\n\nJERRY\nI'm off the project. (He exits)\n\nKRAMER\nJerry!\n\nBRODY\nI want the tape.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm the good boy again. Can you\nbelieve that?\n\nJERRY\nThey think they can get anyone to shoot\nthese bootlegs.\n\nGEORGE\nAnna actually has respect for me now.\nIt's all over.\n\nJERRY\nEh, the whole business has changed.\nIt's all about money now. The sad thing\n\nis it's the kids that suffer. (Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\nListen, man. You gotta shoot this movie\nfor me. Brody, he's a reasonable man,\nbut he's insane!\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I'm not doin' this anymore.\nI don't know what I was thinking. It's\nillegal, it's dangerous...\n\nGEORGE\nDid you say dangerous?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm a bootlegger.\n\nANNA\nYou're a what?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm bootleggin' a movie, baby!\n\nANNA\nIsn't that illegal?\n\nGEORGE\nI can do hard time for this one. And\ncommunity service!\n\nANNA\nIs this your FiberCon?\n\nGEORGE\n(Takes it and throws it out window)\nGet outta my way!\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, George got arrested.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. He went at the Beekman, he tried\nto land, but they cheesed him.\n\nJERRY\nOh now I see. (Buzzer) Yeah.\n\nBRODY\nBrody, I'm comin' up.\n\nJERRY\nWhat're we gonna do?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I gotta give him something. Come\non, where's that tape I shot?\n\nJERRY\nI think that's it. (They play it and\nsee Elaine dancing) Sweet fancy Moses!\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, she taped over the whole ending!\n(Brody enters)\n\nBRODY\nWhere's the tape?\n\nJERRY\nUh, well. It, uh...\n\nBRODY\nIs that it?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, yeah, yeah. Here it is, Brody. One\ncopy of Cry Cry Again.\n\nBRODY\nHow'd it turn out?\n\nKRAMER + JERRY\nUh... great.\n\nKRAMER\nAlthough the whole story kinda comes\napart at the end there.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, out of nowhere there's this lone\ndancer who appears to be injured.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, it's a disturbing image.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, so you cry... and when you see\nthe dancer, you cry again.\n\nANNA\n(George is crying) It's all right, George.\nYou'll just pay a fine and\n\nthat'll be it.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy did the policeman have to yell at\nme like that? (Elaine enters)\n\nELAINE\nAnna...\n\nANNA\nOh, Elaine, thanks for picking me up.\nI can explain everything.\n\nELAINE\nAll right. Well, we'll talk about it\ntomorrow at the office. (Mr. Costanza\n\nenters)\n\nFRANK\nOkay, where's my boy?\n\nGEORGE\nOh my God.\n\nFRANK\nI'm sitting at home, reading a periodical,\nand this is the call I get? My son is\na bootlegger? (He hits George in the\nhead)\n\nGEORGE\nOw! Dad...\n\nFRANK\nWho put you up to this, was it her?\n\nELAINE\nAll right. Wait a minute. I think you've\ngot it backwards.\n\nFRANK\nMy George isn't clever enough to hatch\na scheme like this.\n\nELAINE\nYou got that right.\n\nFRANK\nWhat the hell does that mean?\n\nELAINE\nIt means whatever the hell you want\nit to mean.\n\nFRANK\nYou sayin' you want a piece of me?\n\nELAINE\nI could drop you like a bag of dirt.\n\nFRANK\nYou wanna piece of me? You got it! (They\nbegin to fight)\n\nJERRY\nBut he's an old man, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nWell, he wrote the check, and I cashed\nit.\n\nJERRY\n(Seeing a street vendor) Hey, it's the\nbootlegged Death Blow that I shot.\n\nELAINE\nOh, Cry Cry Again, I wanna see that.\n\nJERRY\nNo you don't.\n\nMAN\nYou shot Death Blow?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nMAN\nThat was brilliant.\n\nJERRY\nThank you. (They continue walking)\n\nELAINE\nYou were big.\n\nJERRY\nI'm still big. It's the bootlegs that\ngot small. So how are things at the\n\noffice? Back to normal?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, pretty much.

You know, I gotta talk to Frank.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, you can't talk to Frank.\n\nKRAMER\nNo I gotta talk to him, I know that\nhe can help me, Jerry.\n\nAbby walks in.\n\nABBY\nI think there's a dead animal in the\nelevator.\n\nKRAMER\nMy stuffed cabbage!\n\nKramer runs out.\n\nABBY\nSo, great dinner last night.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it was alright.\n\nABBY\nI told Cynthia we'd double with her\nand Banya Saturday and then catch his\n\nact.\n\nJERRY\nNo. No, no way, no Banya.\n\nABBY\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nHave you seen his act? He's got a twelve-minute\nbit about Ovaltine.\n\nHe's a punk, a patsy, a hack.\n\nABBY\nCynthia would not date a hack.\n\nJERRY\nWould. Does. Is.\n\nElaine is chairing a meeting at Peterman's.\n\nELAINE\nBefore we get started, I am happy to\ntell you that Eddie Sherman is no\n\nlonger writing for this catalog.\n\nThere are general remarks of relief from the meeting attendees.\n\nELAINE\nHe's upstairs, I made him Director of\nCorporate Development.\n\nEMPLOYEE\nYou promoted him?\n\nELAINE\nWell, no, I would hardly--\n\nEMPLOYEE\nI bust my hump ever day.\n\nELAINE\nRelax--\n\nEMPLOYEE\nAs far as I'm concerned, you and your\nderanged prot\u00e9g\u00e9 can run the\n\ncatalog by yourselves! I quit!\n\nWhat follows is a chorus of \"me too\"s and \"I'm with him\"s as\neverybody walks\n\nout.\n\nELAINE\nWell, hey? Hey. Hey!!\n\nGeorge is in his office at Yankee stadium, he pushes 'play' on\na cassette\n\nrecorder. The voice on the tape sounds exactly like George.\n\nVOICE\nChapter one. In order to manage risk\nwe must first understand risk.\n\nHow do you spot risk? How do you avoid risk and what makes it\nso risky?\n\nGEORGE\nThis guy sounds just like me.\n\nVOICE\nTo understand risk, we must first define\nrisk.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is horrible.\n\nVOICE\nRisk is defined as--\n\nGEORGE\nStop it! Stop it!\n\nKramer is at Frank's.\n\nKRAMER\nC'mon Frank, I need you. I mean the\nwar was fifty years ago.\n\nFRANK\nIn my mind, there's a war still going\non.\n\nKRAMER\nAlright, what happened, Frank? What\nis it that you can't get over?\n\nFrank pours a shot of whiskey and drinks it.\n\nFRANK\nInchon, Korea, 1950. I was the best\ncook Uncle Sam ever saw, slinging\n\nhash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply\nlines were getting\n\nthin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six\nhundred pounds of\n\nprime Texas steer. At least it once was prime. The Use date was\nthree weeks\n\npast, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just\nthe right\n\nspices, cooked it long enough...\n\nKRAMER\nWhat happened?\n\nFRANK\nI went too far. I over seasoned it.\nMen were keeling over all around\n\nme. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen\nof my own men\n\nto the latrines that night. They were just boys.\n\nKRAMER\nFrank, you were a boy too. And it was\nwar. It was a crazy time for\n\neveryone.\n\nFRANK\nTell that to Bobby Colby. All that kid\nwanted to do was go home. Well\n\nhe went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of\na cutlet. Had to\n\nsit him on a cork the eighteen-hour flight home!\n\nKRAMER\nFrank, now listen to me. Two hundred\nJewish singles need you. This is\n\nyour chance to make it all right again.\n\nFRANK\nNo. No, I'll never cook again! Never!\nNow get out of my house!! Get\n\nout. Go.\n\nJerry and Abby are in Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nSo you saw Banya's act?\n\nABBY\nHe got two minutes into that Ovaltine\nthing and I just couldn't take it\n\nanymore.\n\nJERRY\nI told you, it's like getting beaten\nwith a bag of oranges.\n\nABBY\nWhy is he so obsessed with Ovaltine?\n\nJERRY\nHe just thinks that anything that dissolves\nin milk is funny.\n\nABBY\nAnyway, Cynthia and I got into this\nbig argument afterwards and I think\n\nit's over.\n\nJERRY\nNo more mentor?\n\nABBY\nLooks that way.\n\nJERRY\nWell at least you and I are okay again.\n\nABBY\nActually I was kind of thinking that\nmaybe we shouldn't see each other\n\nfor a while.\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nABBY\nWell I'm feeling a little disoriented.\nIt's just weird for me not to\n\nhave an advisor.\n\nJERRY\nI can tell you what to do.\n\nABBY\nNo, it's more than that.\n\nJERRY\nI can tell you what to think.\n\nABBY\nI need someone I can trust.\n\nJERRY\nOh.\n\nGeorge busts in.\n\nGEORGE\nI got a big problem here, Jerry. The\ntapes are worthless.\n\nJERRY\nKind of in the middle of something here,\nGeorge.\n\nGeorge shuts up and relaxes on the couch.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge?\n\nABBY\nI gotta run anyway.\n\nJERRY\nI can't believe you feel you really\nneed a mentor.\n\nABBY\nI just need someone who can give me\nsome kind of direction. I'll see ya.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, see ya.\n\nAbby leaves and George gets up and runs out the door after her.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's your problem.\n\nGeorge runs back.\n\nGEORGE\nNo problem.\n\nGeorge runs away again.\n\nElaine and Eddie Sherman are alone in the office working on writing\ncopy.\n\nEDDIE\nHey, I think I got something here. The\nBengalese Galoshes.\n\nELAINE\nOh.\n\nEDDIE\nIt's tough keeping your feet dry when\nyou're kicking in a\n\nskull.\n\nELAINE\nYou know, Eddie, that might be just\na tad harsh for womenswear.\n\nEDDIE\nWell, I'm not married to it.\n\nElaine. Oh. Well, um, in that case why don't we take the phrase,\n\"kicking in a\n\nskull\" and we tweak it, you know, just a hair, to something like,\nwhat, like\n\n\"strolling through a dewy meadow\"?\n\nEDDIE\nDewy meadow.\n\nFrank and Estelle are in their kitchen.\n\nESTELLE\nHere's your omelet.\n\nFRANK\nIt's dry.\n\nESTELLE\nThat's the way I always make it.\n\nFRANK\nWell it sucks.\n\nESTELLE\nWhat did you say?\n\nFRANK\nYour meatloaf is mushy, your salmon\ncroquettes are oily and your\n\neggplant parmesan is a disgrace to this house!\n\nESTELLE\nWell that's too bad, because I'm the\nonly one who cooks around here!\n\nFRANK\nNot any more! Gimme that spatula! I'm\nback, baby!\n\nGeorge and Abby are at George's office.\n\nABBY\nAnd you're sure with your busy schedule\nyou'd have time to take on a\n\nprot\u00e9g\u00e9?\n\nGEORGE\nI'll make time, because Abby, I was\nonce like you; wide-eyed, naive, I\n\ndidn't know the first thing about a subject as fundamental as\nrisk management.\n\nABBY\nI'm not familiar with that, you'll have\nto explain it to me.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell you what, why don't you read\nthis book and let's just see if\n\nyou can explain it to me.\n\nABBY\nAlright.\n\nGEORGE\nOkay.\n\nJerry runs into Banya on a street corner.\n\nBANYA\nHey Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hey Banya.\n\nBANYA\nDidja hear what happened? The mentor\nsaw my act. She dumped me.\n\nJERRY\nOh, that's too bad.\n\nBANYA\nMaybe she's right. Maybe I am a complete\nhack. I'm the absolute worst.\n\nThe worst, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWell it's just that you got so many\nthings with the milk. You got that\n\nBosco bit then you got your Nestl\u00e9's Quik bit, by the time you\nget to Ovaltine--\n\nBANYA\nYou think you can give me a hand with\nmy material?\n\nFrank is knocking on Kramer's door.\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nFRANK\nYou still need a cook?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, come on in, Frank.\n\nFRANK\nYa got T-Fal?\n\nKRAMER\nKeflon.\n\nFRANK\nNo! Follow me.\n\nJerry is reviewing material with Banya.\n\nBANYA\nWhy do they call it Ovaltine? The mug\nis round. The jar is\n\nround. They should call it round tine. That's gold, Jerry! Gold!\n\nElaine is reviewing copy with Eddie.\n\nELAINE\nLet's just replace \"hail of shrapnel\"\nand \"scar tissue\" with \"string of\n\npearls\" and \"raspberry scones\".\n\nJerry and Abby are at Jerry's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge Costanza is your mentor?\n\nABBY\nYeah, he's great! I am learning so much.\n\nAbby places her risk management folder on the table.\n\nJERRY\nAbout what? How to calculate five percent\nof a restaurant check?\n\nABBY\nYou know what your problem is? You just\nhave no respect for the\n\nmentor/mentor relationship.\n\nJERRY\nAs a matter of fact, I happen to have\na prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of my own.\n\nJerry places his Banya folder on the table.\n\nABBY\nWho?\n\nJERRY\nA Mister Kenneth Banya.\n\nABBY\nBanya?\n\nJERRY\nI'm gonna mentor this kid to the top.\n\nABBY\nHuh, well, I don't think I want to date\na mentor whose prot\u00e9g\u00e9 is a hack.\n\nAbby picks up a folder and puts it in her bag.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I don't think I want to date a\nprot\u00e9g\u00e9 whose mentor is a Costanza.\n\nElaine and Eddie are sharing chocolate shakes at the coffee shop.\n\nELAINE\nI don't know how we did it, but there's\nsome kind of chemistry between\n\nus, we turned out one hell of a catalog.\n\nEDDIE\nCool.\n\nELAINE\nHey Ed, let me ask you something. What's\nwith the fatigues and all the\n\npsychotic imagery? Huh?\n\nEDDIE\nI don't want to talk about it.\n\nELAINE\nCome on, don't be a baby.\n\nEDDIE\nI went out on a couple of dates with\nthis woman, I thought she really\n\nliked me, and then things kind of cooled off.\n\nELAINE\nThat's it?\n\nEDDIE\nWell it's tough meeting somebody you\nlike, let alone somebody Jewish.\n\n\"Jewish Singles Night\".\n\nELAINE\nMm. This food is fantastic.\n\nJERRY\nHave you tried the hamentashen?\n\nELAINE\nI can't get off the kishkas.\n\nBANYA\nHey Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nBanya?\n\nBANYA\nI just stopped by to thank you. That\nrisk management stuff you wrote\n\nfor me? It's killer!\n\nJERRY\nRisk management?\n\nBANYA\nAw, it's gold, Jerry! Gold! I got all\nthese corporate gigs and even\n\nCynthia took me back.\n\nCut to a woman talking with Eddie Sherman.\n\nWOMAN\nSo you went from the mailroom to the\ndirector of corporate development\n\nin two days?\n\nEDDIE\nThat's right.\n\nWOMAN\nHow much are they paying you? I'll double\nit.\n\nCut to Kramer and Frank behind a table loaded with 'Jewish delicacies'.\n\nKRAMER\nYa know these latkes are going like\nhotcakes.\n\nFRANK\nWhere's the powdered sugar?\n\nKRAMER\nYou know Frank, you could take a break.\n\nFRANK\nNo breaks. I fell reborn, I'm like a\nPhoenix rising from Arizona.\n\nCut to Eddie breaking the news to Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nYou're quitting?\n\nEDDIE\nI can't churn out that pointless drivel\nany more.\n\nELAINE\nWell, you can't quit, you're all I've\ngot. I need you!\n\nElaine grabs Eddie by the lapels and shakes him, Eddie chokes\non a piece of\n\nbread. Frank sees this and flashes back to Korea. He runs around\nthe room\n\nknocking plates to the floor and when Kramer tries to stop him,\nhe heads to the\n\nloaded down table and starts to tip it over. The scene ends in\nmid-tip.\n\nGeorge is prepared to give his speech at the Yankees meeting.\n\nVOICE\nOur next speaker is George Costanza\non the subject of risk management.\n\nGeorge steps up and opens his folder.\n\nGEORGE\nOvaltine.

I tell\nyou who sounds a little desperado.\n\nAhead of the strolling twosome, a guy stands on the sidewalk,\ntwirling a\n\nbrightly-coloured umbrella over his shoulder.\n\nJERRY\n(pointing toward the guy) See that salesman,\ntwirling that umbrella.\n\nELAINE\nUh huh.\n\nJERRY\nI invented that.\n\nELAINE\nThat, had to be invented?\n\nJERRY\nWhen I started out as a comedian, I\nsold umbrellas.

The\n\ndoor opens and Kramer enters, carrying a large envelope.\n\nKRAMER\nHey. Well. (proffers the envelope) This\nwas downstairs for you.\n\nKer-ching.\n\nJERRY\n(taking the envelope) Oh no, not more\nchecks.

You're rich!\n\nJERRY\nNaw. Each one is for like twelve cents.\nIt's barely worth the pain in\n\nmy hand to sign 'em.\n\nKramer sits on the couch and flinches as he sits on the umbrella.\nHe reaches\n\nunder himself and extracts it, then jumps again as he accidentally\nopens it.\n\nHe gets back up, and heads to the kitchen.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, Jerry, you need any new furniture?\n\nJERRY\nWhy?\n\nKRAMER\n(getting a bottle of water out of the\nfridge) Yeah, well, Elaine's\n\nnew boyfriend, you know.

You know they're doing my whole place for twenty-five\ndollars.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, no, no, no. Not the Sunshine Carpet\nCleaners?\n\nEGO\nYeah, you heard of 'em?\n\nKRAMER\nThey're a crazy religious cult.

Jerry is massaging his left hand,\nas if it's\n\ngiving him discomfort.\n\nJERRY\nSigned over a hundred checks this morning.\n\nKRAMER\nHello, twelve dollars.\n\nJerry and Kramer draw level with three Japanese tourists. One\nof them steps\n\nforward, holding out a camera.\n\nMR OH\nExcuse me. Would you take picture please?\n\nKRAMER\n(takes camera) Oh, yeah, sure.\n\nJerry has spotted something further along the street. It's another\numbrella\n\nsalesman, twirling his wares.\n\nJERRY\nI'm gonna ask this guy something.\n\nJerry walks along to the guy. Kramer fusses about, taking a picture\nof the\n\nthree Japanese guys, at one point he steps back to frame them\nall, and\n\nstumbles off the curb.\n\nJERRY\n(to umbrella guy) Hey. Nice twirl you\ngot there. You know who invented\n\nthat, don't you?\n\nBack down the street, Kramer has finished photographing.

Yeah, that's him.\n\nKramer and the three guys look along to where Jerry is still\ntalking\n\nvigorously to the umbrella guy.\n\nMR OH\nWhat is he doing?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't know. But something super\nterrific, I'm sure.\n\nMR OH\nHe's funny.\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, very funny. And it wouldn't\nbe impolite to laugh at his\n\nantics.\n\nJerry is tossing the umbrella from hand to hand, with the unimpressed\nguy\n\nwatching him. Kramer laughs, and the Japanese all join in.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Yeah, that's it. Because everybody\nlaughs at Jerry here in\n\nAmerica.\n\nKramer and the Japanese all laugh uproariously, watching Jerry.\n\n(George's Apartment)\n\nThree guys in bright yellow overalls stand in George's living\nroom. Two of\n\nthem have a large carpet cleaner by the door, ready to leave,\nThe third, the\n\nleader, has a notebook.\n\nCREW LEADER\n(calling to George) We're pretty much\nfinished.\n\nGeorge enters from another room.\n\nCREW LEADER\nThere's just one more thing.\n\nGEORGE\n(smiling expectantly) Here it comes.\n\nThe leader opens his book and holds up a check.\n\nCREW LEADER\n(clears throat) You forgot to sign your\ncheck.\n\nThe leader hands George a pen, and waits as George appends his\nsignature.\n\nGEORGE\n(signs) Sorry. (expectant) You're sure,\nuh, there isn't anything\n\nelse?\n\nCREW LEADER\n(flat) No.\n\nThe carpet cleaners begin to leave. George follows the leader\ntoward the\n\ndoor, looking disappointed.\n\nGEORGE\n(let down) So, that's it?\n\nCREW LEADER\nUnless you need a receipt.\n\nGEORGE\n(melancholy) I wish that was all needed.\nLife can be so confusing.\n\nI..I'm searching for answers, anywhere.\n\nCREW LEADER\n(flat) Good luck with that.\n\nThe leader closes the door on a perplexed George.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry sits at his table. He's signing checks, and holding his\npen awkwardly\n\nin his hand which is twisted uncomfortably. Elaine enters and\nnotices his\n\nhand.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nELAINE\nWhat's with the claw?\n\nJERRY\nSuper terrific carpal tunnel syndrome.\n\nElaine wanders toward the kitchen. The door opens and Brett enters.\n\nBRETT\n(to Elaine) There's no sign of Kramer.\n\nELAINE\nOh, Brett. (indicating) This is Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\nJerry holds up his twisted hand in greeting. Brett copies the\nposition of the\n\nfingers in his wave back.\n\nBRETT\nThat's very funny. Elaine told me you\nwere some kinda comedian.\n\nJERRY\nAh, I'm one kind.\n\nElaine gets a bottle of water form the fridge.\n\nELAINE\nHave you seen the chest of drawers that\nBrett gave to Kramer?\n\nJERRY\nThe Fleckman.\n\nBRETT\nFarbman.\n\nJERRY\nRight.\n\nELAINE\nYou gotta see 'em. Beautiful.\n\nJERRY\n(not interested) Oh, I'm sure they are.\n\nBRETT\nI'd be happy to get you some if that's\nwhat you're driving at.\n\nJERRY\nNo. I'm fine, thank you.\n\nBRETT\nDon't worry. It's no charge to you.\n\nBrett walks over past Jerry and points to Jerry's desk.\n\nBRETT\nLooks like what you really need is a\ndecent desk for writing your\n\nskits.\n\nJERRY\n(quiet annoyance) I don't write skits.\n\nBRETT\n(walking back to Elaine) Well, of course\nyou don't. You don't have a\n\nproper workstation. I'll fax you over my catalogue.\n\nELAINE\nMmm. Brett, uhm, Jerry doesn't have\na fax machine.\n\nBRETT\n(quiet) Oops.\n\nBrett looks round at Jerry, seeming embarrassed.\n\nBRETT\nWell, I'm sure things'll pick up for\nyou soon. Elaine, maybe we should\n\nget going.\n\nBrett opens the door.\n\nELAINE\nOh. Jerry, you wanna join us?\n\nJERRY\nOh, where you going? The coffee shop?\n\nBRETT\n(scoff) Coffee shop? I think we can\ndo a little better than that. You\n\nlook like you could use a solid meal at a real restaurant.\n\nJERRY\nYou look like you could use a...\n\nELAINE\n(warning) Jerry.\n\n(Saks)\n\nKramer and the Japanese tourists are looking at stuff. Kramer\npicks up a\n\nStetson and reads the price tag.\n\nKRAMER\n(reads) Three hundred dollars. Hey,\nMr Oh, how much would these run\n\nyou in Tokyo?\n\nKramer holds the hat over, so Mr Oh can get a look.\n\nMR OH\n(thinks for a second) Ahh, about, uh,\nthirty thousand yen.\n\nKRAMER\n(shocked) Thirty thousand?! These are\npractically free.\n\nKramer places the hat on an unsure Mr Oh's head.\n\nKRAMER\nGiddyup. You're a cowboy now.\n\nKramer hands Stetsons to each of the other Japanese.\n\n(Brett's Car)\n\nBrett and Elaine sit in his parked two seat Ferrari.\n\nBRETT\nI feel terrible about your friend Jerry.\nHe's upset that I gave Kramer\n\nthat chest of drawers, isn't he?\n\nELAINE\nWhy? Why d'you think he's upset?\n\nBRETT\nHow could he not be? Living in that\ncramped little apartment. And\n\noutdated furniture, so terribly... un-Karl Farbman-like.\n\nELAINE\n(romantic) We're not gonna talk about\nKarl Farbman all night, are we?\n\nBRETT\n(smiling) I hope not.\n\nBrett leans across to kiss Elaine. Just as they begin to kiss,\nthe Eagles'\n\nDesperado comes on the radio. Brett immediately breaks off the\nkiss, and\n\nstares off into the distance again.\n\nELAINE\n(surprised) Brett? Everything alright?\n\nBrett makes no response.\n\nELAINE\n(worried) Brett! What is it? Is there\nsomeone outside?\n\nBRETT\nElaine, the song.\n\nELAINE\n(relieved) Oh. Oh, oh, phew. You know,\nfor a minute there I thought\n\nit was like that urban legend about the guy with the hook who's\nhanging on\n\nthe fender...\n\nBRETT\nElaine, could you just not talk for\none minute?\n\nELAINE\n(apologetic, silently mouthed) Sorry.\n\nElaine stares queryingly at the rapt Brett.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJerry and George sit in a booth, sipping coffee.\n\nJERRY\nNo spiel?\n\nGEORGE\n(annoyed) Not a peep. They just cleaned\nthe carpets and left. Call\n\nthemselves a cult!\n\nJERRY\nSo you're angry that this bizarre carpet\ncabal made no attempt to\n\nabduct you?\n\nGEORGE\nThey could've at least tried!\n\nJERRY\nYou know, maybe they thought you looked\ntoo smart to be brainwashed?\n\nGEORGE\nPlease.\n\nJERRY\nToo dumb?\n\nGeorge gives Jerry a look. Kramer enters, wearing a snazzy new\nsuit. He\n\nstrolls over to the booth.\n\nJERRY\n(impressed) Well! Mack is back in town!\nNice duds.\n\nKRAMER\nKonichi-wa. Yeah, it's a gift from my\nJapanese friends. (sits beside\n\nJerry) They're known as gift-givers. And tonight we're going\ndancing at the\n\nRainbow Room.\n\nJERRY\nSounds like you're throwing a lot of\ntheir money around.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, Jerry, they're Japanese. I mean,\nthat TV you watch, that sushi\n\nyou eat, I mean, even that kimono you wear. Where to you think\nall that money\n\ngoes, hmm?\n\nJerry looks puzzled.\n\nKRAMER\nThat's right.\n\nGEORGE\nHow'd you hook up with these guys?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, they recognised Jerry from the\nSuper Terrific Happy Hour. See\n\nnow, you should be doing your own show in Japan. Now, they get\nyou.\n\nJERRY\nWhat kind of show am I gonna do in Japan?\n\nKRAMER\n(to George) Alright, what'd you do with\nthat pilot you did.\n\nGEORGE\n(excited) Yeah, the pilot!\n\nKRAMER\nThat's right, I think that had marvellous\nproduction values.\n\nGEORGE\n(enthusiastic) And, you know, I do a\nlotta business with Japanese TV.\n\nThey broadcast a lot of American baseball. They got an office\nhere in New\n\nYork!\n\nJERRY\nForget it! The pilot was awful. It failed.\n\nGEORGE\n(animated) It failed here! Because,\nhere, every time you turn on a\n\nTV, all you see is four morons sitting round an apartment, whining\nabout\n\ntheir dates!\n\nJerry looks doubtful.\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge is right, Jerry. See, here, you're\njust another apple, but in\n\nJapan, you're an exotic fruit. Like an orange. Which is rare\nthere.\n\nJerry looks at George, wondering.\n\n(Japanese TV Office)\n\nJerry and George sit on a couch. Two Japanese TV executives,\none male, one\n\nfemale, sit on chairs. They are all watching the pilot show Jerry\nmade at the\n\nend of Season 4. The Japanese are not looking impressed. George\nis smiling\n\nand pointing, enthusiastically. On a coffee table sits a large\nbowl\n\ncontaining a plastic bag of oranges.\n\nTV JERRY\nYou had a date? You went out with my\nbutler?! Who said you could go\n\nout with my butler?!\n\nTV ELAINE\nWell, why do I need your permission?\n\nTV JERRY\nBecause he's my butler.\n\nThe first executive stops the tape.\n\nGEORGE\n(eager) So? What d'you think?\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\nWe're bit confused. Why was this man\nJerry's butler?\n\nGEORGE\nAh. You see, the man who was the butler,\nuh, had gotten into a car\n\naccident with Jerry, and because he didn't have any insurance,\nthe judge\n\ndecreed that the man become Jerry's butler.\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\nIs this customary in your legal system?\n\nJERRY\nNo. That's what makes it such a humorous\nsituation.\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\n(speaks Japanese) SUBTITLE: Are you\nfollowing any of this?\n\nEXECUTIVE 2\n(speaks Japanese) SUBTITLE: I'm still\ntrying to figure out why\n\nthey gave us a bag of oranges.\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\n(to Jerry and George) I'm sorry. I'm\nsure Mr Seinfeld is very\n\nfunny to Americans, but I'm not sure this butler show would work\nin Japan.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I, uh, I disagree. You've, uh, you've\nbeen living in America too\n\nlong. (indicates the bag of oranges) You've forgotten what it's\nlike to have\n\nno oranges.\n\nJerry nods, sagely, and picks up a cup of coffee. His fingers\nare still\n\ntwisted from the check signing.\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\n(speaks Japanese) SUBTITLE: Again with\nthe oranges\n\nThere's a crash as Jerry's grip on the cup fails and he drops\nit.\n\nJERRY\n(flexing his fingers) Sorry. My hand\nis numb.\n\nGEORGE\n(positive) Yes. From endorsing checks\nfor the Super Terrific Happy\n\nHour. (laughs)\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\nYou must go now.\n\nJerry pats George on the knee. George squeezes Jerry's shoulder\nand they\n\nruefully begin to depart.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry sits at his table, signing yet more checks, the pen gripped\nin his\n\nclawed fingers. Elaine stands in her jacket, her bag on the table.\n\nELAINE\nAh, I think I'm on the outs with Brett.\nI got shushed during\n\nDesperado.\n\nJERRY\n(throws out his hands) What does he\nlisten to? The all Desperado\n\nstation?\n\nELAINE\nHe is just in his own world when he\nhears that song. It's like, I'm\n\nsitting there in the car, and he's.. out riding fences.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, what you need is a song you\ncan share.\n\nELAINE\nYes. You're right. We need to find 'our'\nsong.\n\nJERRY\nOkay. So, is there any song that you\nfeel very strongly about?\n\nElaine tips back her head and thinks for a second, before something\noccurs.\n\nELAINE\n(points) I like Witchy Woman.\n\nJERRY\nWitchy Woman?\n\nELAINE\nYou know, Witchy Woman. (sings) 'Ooo-ooh,\nwit-chay woman'.\n\nJERRY\n(getting it) Ahh. Wit-chay Woman.\n\nThe door opens and Kramer enters, wearing his suit and carrying\nanother fat\n\nenvelope.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Jerry) Hey, man.\n\nELAINE\nHey.\n\nKramer puts the envelope down on the table next to Jerry. Elaine\nwalks to the\n\nkitchen.\n\nJERRY\nHey. How was the Rainbow Room?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, well, we, uh, we had to leave early.\nThere was a, uh, slight\n\nmonetary discrepancy regarding the bill.\n\nJERRY\nAh.\n\nKRAMER\nUh, listen, uh, can I borrow some pillows?\n\nJERRY\nWhat for?\n\nKramer wanders into Jerry's bedroom.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well, uh, my Japanese friends're\ngonna stay with me.\n\nJERRY\nI thought they all had suites at the\nPlaza?\n\nKramer reenters, carrying three pillows.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm sorry, Jerry, we all don't\nhave checks rolling in like you\n\ndo.\n\nJERRY\nWell, what about all that money from\nthe kimonos I wear?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, they ran out of it. Manhattan\ncan be quite pricey. Even with\n\nfifty thousand yen.\n\nElaine is in the kitchen, eating cereal from the box.\n\nELAINE\nFifty thousand yen? Isn't that only\na few hundred dollars?\n\nKRAMER\nEvidently. (To Elaine) Oh, by the way,\ntell Brett that his chest of\n\ndrawers are a big hit. My guests are very comfortable in them.\n\nELAINE\nIn them?!\n\nJERRY\nYou have them sleeping in drawers?!\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, have you ever seen the business\nhotels in Tokyo? They sleep in\n\ntiny stacked cubicles all the time. They feel right at home.\n\nJERRY\nThis has 'international incident' written\nall over it.\n\nKRAMER\n(smiling) Oh yeah, yeah.\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nUp against one wall of the apartment stands a very large chest\nof three\n\ndrawers. It's about six feet long and each drawers is maybe a\nfoot and a half\n\ndeep. Kramer walks over to it and looks into the open top drawer.\n\nKRAMER\nGoodnight, Mr Tanaka.\n\nOne of the Japanese tourists sits up in the drawer.\n\nMR TANAKA\nGoodnight.\n\nMr Tanaka lies down again, and Kramer slides the drawer shut.\nHe then speaks\n\nto the occupant of the next drawer.\n\nKRAMER\nGoodnight, Mr Oh.\n\nMR OH\n(sits up) Goodnight.\n\nMr Oh lies back down and Kramer slides the drawers shut, and\nspeaks to the\n\nfinal drawer's occupant.\n\nKRAMER\nGoodnight, Mr Yamaguchi.\n\nMR YAMAGUCHI\n(sits up) Oh, yes. Goodnight.\n\nMr Yamaguchi lies down. Kramer shuts the final drawer, switches\noff the lamp\n\nand, yawning, walks off toward his own bed\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nKramer is in the kitchen. He has three bowls out on the counter,\nand a box of\n\nRice Crispies. Jerry walks over, pushing a bunch of checks into\nan envelope.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is this?\n\nKRAMER\nRice Crispies. East meets West, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nAh. It's a lovely little bureau and\nbreakfast you're running. Well,\n\nI'm off to the bank.\n\nKRAMER\n(opening the fridge) Sayonara.\n\nJERRY\n(leaving) Konichi-wa.\n\nKramer fetches out milk and continues making breakfast.\n\n(Brett's Car)\n\nElaine and Brett sit in the parked Ferrari. Witchy Woman is playing\non the\n\nstereo. Elaine is listening, with her eyes closed and her head\nnodding. Brett\n\nlooks puzzled.\n\nBRETT\nElaine, I...\n\nELAINE\nShh-shh! (smiling) What d'you think?\n\nElaine continues to listen. Brett leans forward and switches\noff the music.\n\nELAINE\nWhat are you doing? That's Witchy Woman.\nThat could be our song.\n\nBRETT\nWitchy Woman is okay for you, but I've\nalready got a song.\n\nELAINE\nOh. Oh, then how about Desperado? (smiling)\nWe can share it.\n\nBRETT\n(flat) No. It's mine.\n\nThere is a flash of lightning and thunder rolls. Elaine peers\nout at the\n\nweather.\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nThe top and bottom drawers are open in the chest. Mr Yamaguchi\nsits up in the\n\nbottom drawer, and Mr Tanaka sits on top of the chest, with his\nfeet in his\n\ndrawer. Kramer comes over and hands bowls of Rice Crispies to\nthe pair of\n\nthem.\n\nKRAMER\nHere you go. Snap, crackle and pop.\n\nKramer leans over and raps on the face of the middle drawer.\n\nKRAMER\n(loudly) Good morning, Mr Oh. I gotta\nmake up the drawer.\n\nMR OH\nAch, come back in half hour.\n\nKramer looks impatient. He puts the bowl of Rice Crispies on\ntop of the chest\n\nand walks off mumbling irritably.\n\n(Street)\n\nIt is pouring with rain. Jerry walks along the street, wearing\njust a light\n\njacket over his clothes. He still has the envelope in his hands.\nJerry spots\n\nthe umbrella vendor, twirling his wares.\n\nJERRY\n(calls) Hey, I'll take one.\n\nCLICKY\nWell, look who's back!\n\nClicky turns to another umbrella seller,who is facing the other\nway.\n\nCLICKY\nTeddy! (indicates Jerry) This's the\nguy says he invented the twirl.\n\nTEDDY\n(unfriendly recognition) Jerry Seinfeld!\n\nJERRY\nTeddy Padillac. Long time, no see. (pointing\nat the umbrellas) What've\n\nyou got in a push-button mini.\n\nTEDDY\n(bitter) Same thing we had, when you\nbailed on us, fifteen years ago.\n\nJERRY\nBailed? C'mon, you knew I wanted to\nbe a comedian. Besides, we had\n\nsome good time. Remember Tropical Storm Renee?\n\nTEDDY\n(angry) Oh, yeah, sure. But where were\nyou during the poncho craze of\n\neighty-four? I almost lost my house.\n\nA guy comes along the street, wearing one of Elaine's urban sombreros.\nClicky\n\ntries to catch his attention.\n\nCLICKY\nUmbrella, buddy?\n\nThe sombrero wearer waves away the attention and crosses the\nstreet.\n\nCLICKY\nNow we got that damn 'urban sombrero'\nto contend with.\n\nTEDDY\n(to Clicky) Easy, there. (to Jerry)\nI hear you're taking credit for\n\nthe twirl.\n\nJERRY\nAw, it was so many years ago. Who cares?\n\nTEDDY\n(intense) I care. Clicky cares.\n\nJERRY\nSo, could I...\n\nAnother peal of thunder rolls as interruption.\n\nJERRY\nCould I just buy an umbrella?\n\nTEDDY\n(sour) Yeah, sure. Two hundred dollars.\n\nJERRY\n(shock) What?!\n\nTEDDY\n(caustically) Special price, for a real\nfoul-weather friend.\n\nThe rain continues to pour down unabated.\n\n(George's Office, Yankee Stadium)\n\nGeorge is removing a tape from a VCR. Kramer enters, followed\nby the three\n\nJapanese tourists. Outside the window, the rain can be seen bucketing\ndown.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, George. How about that tour, huh?\nThese guys are ready to run\n\nthe bases.\n\nGEORGE\n(indicating the window) Kramer, it's,\nit's raining. They got the tarp\n\non the field.\n\nKRAMER\n(quietly) Ah, listen, George, what else\ncan I do with these guys?\n\nNow, bear in mind, they're a little light on the yen.\n\nGeorge thinks for a minute, then looks down at the tape in his\nhands.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I, I got the pilot of the Jerry\nshow.\n\nKRAMER\n(snaps his fingers) That's perfect.\n(to the Japanese) Hey, how would\n\nyou guys like to watch Super Terrific Happy star Jerry Seinfeld?\n\nThe Japanese nod to each other.\n\nMR OH\nBut, we are also very hungry.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, yeah, yeah. (feeds tape into VCR)\nWell, you guys just watch the\n\ntape and, uh, I'll get you some food.\n\nKramer and George wave the Japanese toward seats. Kramer leaves\nthe office\n\nand looks down the corridor. He raises his arm to attract attention.\n\nKRAMER\n(shouts) Hey, peanuts!\n\nAs the Japanese sit, Mr Wilhelm comes to the door.\n\nWILHELM\nGeorge. (waves George over) George.\n\nGeorge goes out into the hall with Wilhelm.\n\nWILHELM\n(puzzled) Uh, George, uh, did you call\nsome carpet cleaners?\n\nGEORGE\nAre they here?\n\nWILHELM\nThey're in my office, right now.\n\nGEORGE\n(suspicious) They haven't said anything\nto you, have they?\n\nWILHELM\nAbout what?\n\nGEORGE\n(to himself, resentful) What kind of\na snobby, stuck-up, cult is\n\nthis?!\n\n(Street)\n\nJerry walks along. He is still carrying the envelope of checks,\nand by now\n\nhe's drenched. A familiar red Ferrari pulls to a stop level with\nJerry, and\n\nthe window winds down.\n\nBRETT\n(calls over) Hey Jerry!\n\nJerry peers at the car and walks out into the road as he recognises\nBrett.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi Brett.\n\nBRETT\nHaven't you ever heard of an umbrella?\n\nJERRY\nAh, I didn't have enough money.\n\nBRETT\nI'm sure things'll pick up for you.\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's not that, it's the...\n\nJerry looks down at the envelope of checks in his hands. The\nrain has soaked\n\nthem so thoroughly that the ink of his signatures has run and\nbecome\n\nillegible.\n\nJERRY\nOh no, look at the checks! Hours of\nhard work ruined!\n\nBrett peers over at the mass of sodden paper in Jerry's grip.\n\nBRETT\nAh, don't worry, I can spot you the\n(reads) twelve cents?\n\nJERRY\nNo, it's not the money. It's my hand.\nIt's crippled from writing and\n\nwriting.\n\nBRETT\nNothing's working for you, is is?\n\nJERRY\n(bitter) Not at the moment, Brett.\n\nBRETT\nI'd give you a ride, but I got Karl\nFarbman here.\n\nBeside Brett sits a bald-headed, bearded, guy in shades.\n\nJERRY\n(sarcastic) Thanks for stopping!\n\nJerry walks away\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is drying the checks. Dozens hang from lines around the\napartment, and\n\nmore sit on the table, where Jerry dabs them with a towel.\n\nELAINE\nBrett said you ran away from him, as\nif he were the boogetyman.\n\nJERRY\nBoogeyman.\n\nELAINE\nBoogey?\n\nJERRY\nI'm quite sure. Anyway, any luck getting\ntogether on a song?\n\nELAINE\nNo. He blew out my Witchy Woman, and\nhe won't share Desperado. Hey,\n\nwhat d'you think of Oye Como Va?\n\nJERRY\n(negative) Eehh.\n\nELAINE\n(desperation) Well, I'm running outta\nguys here in this city, Jer!\n\nElaine puts he hand to her head, walks round the room and flops\nonto the\n\ncouch. The door opens and George enters. He's in buoyant mood.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nGEORGE\n(excited) Great news! I showed the pilot\nto Kramer's Japanese\n\nfriends. They loved it!\n\nJERRY\nReally? They bought the butler character?\n\nGEORGE\n(excited) Did I tell you that story's\nrelatable?! That was a great\n\nshow! That is why I'm bringing it back to NBC.\n\nJERRY\nNBC?\n\nGEORGE\n(little subdued) Nakahama Broadcast\nCorporation.\n\nElaine looks heavenwards.\n\nJERRY\nAh. But they told us we must go now.\n\nGEORGE\nBut now I have my own market research.\nActual Japanese viewers, that\n\nlove the show! I'm gonna talk to Kramer.\n\nGeorge opens the door. Jerry comes over before he can leave.\n\nJERRY\nHey, George, do me a favour. If they\nmake you an offer, whatever it\n\nis. (vehement) Just take it!\n\nGeorge smiles, claps Jerry on the shoulder and leaves. Jerry\nstarts to close\n\nthe door, but George turns back.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, by the way, what'd you think of\nMiss Yoshimura?\n\nJERRY\nWho?\n\nGEORGE\nThe network executive. You think she\nliked me?\n\nJerry swings the door closed in George's face.\n\n(Hallway)\n\nGeorge crosses the hall to Kramer's door. He knocks, but there\nis no\n\nimmediate reply. George listens, and can hear excited shouting\nand laughter.\n\nHe opens the door and goes in.\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nKramer and the three Japanese sit in the hot-tub. They're stripped\nto the\n\nwaist (at least), wearing Stetsons, and drinking sake. They spot\nGeorge as he\n\nenters and shout greetings.\n\nKRAMER\nHeyy! Look who's here.\n\nThe Japanese whoop and wave at George.\n\nKRAMER\n(beckoning to George) Come on, I want\nyou to come in here.\n\nAll the Japanese gesture and shout that George should get in\nthe tub with\n\nthem.\n\nMR OH\nCome on in, fat boy!\n\nGeorge waves away their appeals with a smile.\n\nGEORGE\nGet a good night's sleep, alright fellas.\n(thumbs up) Big day\n\ntomorrow!\n\nKramer and the Japanese cheer and splash water at George, who\nleaves. Then\n\nthey go back to knocking back sake.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is re-signing all the checks he dried out.\n\nJERRY\n(to himself) Last one.\n\nJerry completes his signature and drops the pen from his claw-like\nhand. It's\n\nclearly painful.\n\nJERRY\n(agonised) Uugh! Ahh.\n\n(Street)\n\nGeorge stands outside the Nakahama Broadcast Corp offices. He's\nwaiting for\n\nsomeone. Kramer wanders up behind him and speaks into George's\near.\n\nKRAMER\nThere you are.\n\nGeorge jumps, surprised by Kramer.\n\nGEORGE\nUh. (smiles) Where's the boys?\n\nKRAMER\nUh, no, I let 'em sleep in.\n\nKramer reaches into his pocket and pulls out a number of airline\ntickets.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm on my way to cash in their plane\ntickets for them. They need a\n\nlittle food money.\n\nGEORGE\n(horrified) But that meeting starts\nin ten minutes!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, well, I set their alarm. But they\ndid have a lot of sake in that\n\nhot-tub.\n\nA panicky George rushes toward a payphone.\n\nGEORGE\n(frantic) I'm calling Jerry.\n\n(Street/Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is bathing his crippled left hand in a bowl of ice-water.\nThe phone\n\nrings and he picks up (with his right).\n\nJERRY\nYeah?\n\nGEORGE\n(panicked and rushed) Jerry! The Japanese\nguys had sake in the\n\nhot-tub! You gotta get 'em outta the drawers and get 'em down\nhere, or I\n\ndon't have a focus group to sell the pilot to Japanese TV!\n\nJERRY\n(kidding) Uncle Leo?\n\nGEORGE\n(scream) Jerry!!\n\nGeorge begins hammering the phone against the kiosk. Jerry lifts\nthe phone\n\naway from his ear at the noise.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, alright. I'll wake 'em up.\n\nJerry hangs up the phone.\n\nJERRY\n(to himself) Hmm, testy.\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nThe chest of drawers still stands against one wall. All the drawers\nare shut,\n\nand from within them can be heard thumping noises and cries for\nhelp. Jerry\n\nenters and hears the calls.\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\nMR OH\nMr Jerry! Open the drawer, please!\n\nJerry pulls at the handle with his good hand, but it won't move.\nHe tries to\n\nhook his bad hand round the other handle and pull.\n\nJERRY\nIt's stuck. (pained) Oww! The steam\nfrom the hot-tub musta warped the\n\nwood.\n\nMR OH\nPull harder.\n\nJERRY\nI'm trying. I can't get a grip. My hand's\nhad kind of a bad week.\n\nMR OH\nVery funny, but no joking, please.\n\nJERRY\n(looks round) Don't worry, I'll get\nyou out.\n\n(Hallway)\n\nElaine and Brett stroll up to Jerry's door. Brett is carrying\nan umbrella.\n\nElaine looks dubious.\n\nELAINE\nBrett, believe me. You don't have to\ndo this.\n\nBRETT\nElaine, I know he'll appreciate this.\nGranted, it's not as nice as\n\nKramer's cabinet, but it's start.\n\nELAINE\nUh, I promise you, Jerry is not jealous\nof Kramer's cabinet.\n\nElaine reaches for Jerry's doorhandle, but a shout from Kramer's\napartment\n\ndistracts her.\n\nJERRY\n(yell) Move to the back of the drawers!\n\nElaine moves to enter Kramer's apartment.\n\nELAINE\nJerry?\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nElaine enters followed by Brett.\n\nELAINE\nJerry.\n\nJerry stands in front of the chest of drawers, holding a large\nfireman's axe.\n\nHe swings it high and smashes it into the top of the chest, the\nwood\n\nsplintering under the impact. Brett looks horrified. He drops\nthe umbrella,\n\nand rushes forward to protect the furniture.\n\nBRETT\n(shouting) Not the Farbman!!\n\nElaine stares after the charging Brett. She puts her hand to\nher mouth and\n\nscreams, horrified at what she sees.\n\n(Japanese TV Office)\n\nThe Japanese tourists sit on the couch, looking like survivors\nof some\n\nhorrible ordeal, with the two executives in their chairs. George\nperches on\n\nthe arm of the couch.\n\nMR OH\n(speaks Japanese) SUBTITLE: Jerry Seinfeld\nis a dangerous lunatic. He\n\nwouldn't let us out of the drawers. Then he came at me with an\naxe.\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\n(speaks Japanese) SUBTITLE: We suspect\nhis friend here is also\n\nunbalanced.\n\nThe tourists turn slowly and look nervously at the smiling, uncomprehending,\n\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, uh, gentlemen, do we have a deal?\n\nMR OH\n(speaks Japanese) SUBTITLE: Could we\nhave a couple of those oranges?\n\nThe executives gesture their assent. The tourists eagerly grab\nthe fruit.\n\nMR OH\n(speaks Japanese) SUBTITLE: We are very\nhungry and have survived many\n\nhardships.\n\nBehind the couch, two of the carpet cleaner people enter, including\nthe\n\nleader. They walk over to a corner. George notices them and stands.\n\nGEORGE\n(to the executives) Excuse me. Did you\nhire the Sunshine Carpet\n\nCleaners?\n\nEXECUTIVE 1\nYes. Cleaned up the (points) coffee\nstain, left by Jerry\n\nSeinfield.\n\nWilhelm enters, dressed in the same yellow overall as the other\ncarpet\n\ncleaners. George looks stunned.\n\nGEORGE\nMr Wilhelm? Wha..what're you doing here?\n\nWILHELM\nI'm here to clean the carpets. Most\nof the world is carpeted. And,\n\none day, we will do the cleaning.\n\nGeorge lets this sink in, then slowly turns to the leader.\n\nGEORGE\n(incredulity) Him you brainwashed!

What are you talking about?\n\nJERRY\nTo a woman, sex is like the garbage\nman. You just take for granted the fact\nthat any time you put some trash out\non the street, a guy in a jumpsuit's\ngonna come along and pick it up. But\nnow, it's like a garbage strike. The\nbags are piling up in your head. The\nsidewalk is blocked. Nothing's getting\nthrough.

You've experienced\na lifetime of smoking in 72 hours. What\ndid you expect?\n\nKRAMER\nEmphysema, birth defects, cancer. But\nnot this. Jerry, my face is my livelihood.\nEverything I have I owe to this face.\n\nJERRY\nAnd your teeth, your teeth are all brown.\n\nKRAMER\nLook away, I'm hideous.\n\nELAINE\nHey, Ben. I need a four letter word.\nWinnie the blank.\n\nB\nPooh!\n\nELAINE\nPooh...(laughing)\n\nB\nNo, it's Winnie the Pooh.\n\nLOUISE\nSo the hospital called, turns out some\nstupid intern screwed up my test. I\nnever had mono. So we can... you know.\n\nJERRY\nSo what did you do?\n\nGEORGE\nI told her I would have to think about\nit.\n\nJERRY\nBut ultimately, you're gonna choose\nin favor of sex, right?\n\nGEORGE\nI don't know. Perhaps I can better serve\nthe world this way.\n\nJERRY\nYou mean, not subjecting yourself to\nyour sexual advances.\n\nGEORGE\nSimple joke from a simple man.\n\nJERRY\nSo you're never gonna have sex again?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, Jerry. There was a pretty good\nchance I was never gonna have sex again\nanyway.\n\nJERRY\nSo you ready for the assembly tomorrow?\nYou know what you're gonna say about\nthe Yankees?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, sports are so pedestrian. I've prepared\nsome science experiments that will illuminate\nthe mind and dazzle the eye.\n\nJERRY\nI wrote a 20 minute bit about how homework\nstinks.\n\nJACKIE\nMy vacation was restful, splendid, magnificent.\nIn fact, next time I'm plannin' on going\nto Kofu.\n\nJACKIE\nOh no.\n\nKRAMER\nJackie we gotta talk.\n\nJACKIE\nNo way, Kramer. You've brought nothing\nbut a mountain of misfortune and humiliation.\nNow get out.\n\nKRAMER\nBut Jackie--\n\nJACKIE\nI said out.\n\nKRAMER\nJackie, I think I gotta case against\nthe tobacco companies.\n\nJACKIE\nThe who?\n\nKRAMER\nThe tobacco companies.\n\nJACKIE\nI've been wanting a piece of them for\nyears.\n\nJACKIE\nDid that cigarette warning label mention\nanything about damage to your appearance?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, it didn't say anything.\n\nJACKIE\nSo you're a victim. Now your face is\nshallow, unattractive, disgusting.\n\nKRAMER\nSo Jackie, do you think we gotta case?\n\nJACKIE\nYour face is my case.\n\nJERRY\nHow ya doin'?\n\nELAINE\nNot good. I'm a moron.\n\nJERRY\nWell, don't worry about it. Once he\npasses the test, you'll have sex again,\nand you'll be fine.\n\nELAINE\nWell, that kinda brings us to why I'm\nhere. You got eleven minutes?\n\nJERRY\nWhat for? Oh come on.\n\nELAINE\nI just wanna clear my head. It has nothing\nto do with you.\n\nJERRY\nI think it has something to do with\nme.\n\nELAINE\nYou could read the paper through the\nwhole thing if you want.\n\nJERRY\n(thinks about it for a second as to\nreconsider) No, no, no. I'm sorry, it's\ntoo weird.\n\nELAINE\nOh, all right. Is Kramer home?\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, Louise. I think you'll find\nthis amusing. In early Euclidean geometry--\n\nLOUISE\nGeorge, I have to have sex.\n\nGEORGE\nI used to share that same outlook. But\nnow, I have so many things to occupy\nmy mind. For instance, the atom.\n\nLOUISE\nGoodbye, George. I hate you. (She leaves)\n\nGEORGE\nWhat a fascinating turn of events.

In fact, I feel Mr. Kramer\nprojects a rugged masculinity.\n\nJACKIE\nRugged? The man's a goblin. He's only\nbeen exposed to smoke for four days.\nBy the time this case gets to trial,\nhe'll be nothing more than a shrunken\nhead.\n\nWILKIE\nAll right, Mr. Chiles. You'll have our\noffer by tomorrow. Good day, gentlemen.\n(She exits)\n\nKRAMER\nBye-bye. Jackie, you did it. We're rich.\n\nJACKIE\nYou better believe it.

I don't think we should\nsee each other anymore.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? you're breaking up with me? But\nI sacrificed and supported you while\nyou struggled. What about my dream of\ndating a doctor?\n\nBEN\nI'm sorry, Elaine. I always knew that\nafter I became a doctor, I would dump\nwhoever I was with and find someone\nbetter. That's the dream of becoming\na doctor.\n\nELAINE\nLook it, are we going to have sex, or\nnot?\n\nKATIE\nOkay, Jerry, now when the glee club's\nfinished singing, George goes on, then\nyou.

We went to school here for\nthree years.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat are these? (Holds test tubes to\nhis head like antennae) Take me to your\nleader.\n\nJERRY\nOh my God. You had sex. You had sex\nwith Louise!\n\nGEORGE\nNo, the Portuguese waitress.\n\nJERRY\nThe Portuguese waitress?\n\nGEORGE\nI calculated my odds of ever getting\ntogether with a Portuguese waitress.\nMathematically, I had to do it, Jerry.\n\nKATIE\nGeorge, George, you're on.\n\nGEORGE\nNo, no. I'm not going on.\n\nJERRY\nThen what'd you come down here for?\n\nGEORGE\nTell you about the Portuguese waitress.\n\nJERRY\nIt's good to have you back.\n\nKATIE\nOne of you has to go on.\n\nJERRY\nAll right, I'll do it. (Goes on stage)\nHey kids. What's the deal with homework?\nyou're not working on your home! (Audience\nboos)\n\nKRAMER\nIt was a great lunch, Jackie. Thanks.\n\nJACKIE\nIt's a little puzzling we haven't gotten\nthat offer yet.\n\nKRAMER\nMrs. Wilkie, from the tobacco company\ncalled me. We had a little pow-wow.\n\nJACKIE\nA pow-wow? Who told you to have a pow-wow?\nI didn't tell you to have pow-wow.\n\nKRAMER\nShe made an offer. I took it.\n\nJACKIE\nHow much?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no. There was no money.\n\nJACKIE\nNo money? Then what'd we get?\n\nKRAMER\nCheck it out. (They see a Marlboro man\nbillboard with Kramer on it)\n\nJACKIE\nThis is the most public yet of my many\nhumiliations.\n\nJERRY\nCancelled? But I was supposed to be\non tomorrow night.\n\nLETTERMAN\nYeah, but then, you know, some people\nwere telling me about that little flap\nout there at the junior high assembly.\nAnd before that, you were bumped by\na lizard?\n\nJERRY: ACTUALLY, IT WAS A .\n\nLETTERMAN\nthose things, deadly dangerous.

(Waves\nher off)\n\nRICARDI\n(Moves into the apartment, hand out)\nNo, I'm Mrs. Ricardi - president of\nthe tenant's association.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, right! (Shakes her hand) Right!\nHey, hey.. I love the floors in here.\nIt's like a gymnasium in here! Try and\nguard me! (Dribbles an imaginary ball)\ntoward Mrs. Ricadi. She backs off defensively)\nCome on! (Stops and laughs right before running\ninto her)\n\nRICARDI\nNo, no.. (Laughs nervously) Uh, George,\nunfortunately, Clarance Eldridge in\n8C has decided that he wants the apartment.\n\nGEORGE\n(Let down) Yeah, but you - you promised\nit to me.\n\nRICARDI\nYes, but, you see - Mister Eldridge\nis an Andrea Doria survivor. And, in\nlight of the terrible suffering that\nhe's already been through, we've decided\nto give it to him.\n\nGEORGE\n(Depressed) Well,.. the Andrea Doria..\nthat was quite a fire. (Moves to the\ndoor, leaving).\n\nRICARDI\n(Correcting) Shipwreck.\n\nGEORGE\nI remember.. (Leaves)\n\n(Restaurant)\n\n(Elaine is sitting alone, waiting for her date - Alan. She's\nthinking to herself)\n\nELAINE\nWhere is this guy?! (Checks her watch)\nI hate this! (Sighs) I shoulda brought\nsomething to read.. (Picks up a sugar\npacket) \"Cancer in labratory animals\"..\n\nhuh.\n\n(A waiter approaches)\n\nWAITER\nExcuse me, Elaine Benes?\n\nELAINE\nYeah?\n\nWAITER\nAn Alan Mercer called for you. He said\nhe's sorry, but he won't be able to\nmake it tonight. (Pause) He's been stabbed.\n\nELAINE\n(Shocked) Stabbed?!\n\nWAITER\nMore bread?\n\nJerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\n(Talking to Elaine) You ate more bread?\n\nELAINE\nThat is not the point! The guy was stabbed!\n\nJERRY\nDid you find out who stabbed him?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, (Nodding) It turns out it was\nhis ex-girlfriend.\n\nJERRY\n(Like a father) Well, you're not going\nnear this hooligan anymore.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I don't know.. I mean, think about\nit, Jerry. There must be something exciting\nabout this guy if he can arouse that\nkind of passion. (Obviously turned\n\non by the stabbing) I mean, to be stab-worthy.. You know, it's..\nkind of a compliment.\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastic) Yeah, too bad he didn't\nget shot. He could have been the one.\n\n(Kramer enters)\n\nKRAMER\n(Coughs) Hey. How's everybody? (Moves\nto the kitchen)\n\nJERRY AND ELAINE\nHey.\n\nKRAMER\nEhh.. (Picks up a carton of food) No\nexpiration date on this.. (Opens it,\nthen starts coughing directly onto the\nfood)\n\nJERRY\nThere is now. Kramer, you should really\nget that cough checked out by a doctor.\n\nKRAMER\n(Shrugging it off) Nah, no, no, no.\nNo doctors for me. A bunch of lackeys\nand yes-men all towing the company line..\n(Looks at Jerry, then leans in so\n\nElaine can't hear) Plus, the botched my vasectimy.\n\nJERRY\n(In awe. Whispering) The botched it?\n\nKRAMER\n(Complaining) I'm even more potent now!\n\n(Jerry gives his \"That's a shame\" face. George enters)\n\nGEORGE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey. How's the new place?!\n\nGEORGE\nGone. (Moves over to a chair in the\nliving room. Kramer takes the carton\nof food to the table, and begins eating)\nThe tenant association made me give\nit\n\nto this guy because he was an Andrea Doria survivor..\n\nELAINE\nAndrea Doria? Isn't that the one they\ndid the song about?\n\nJERRY\n(Correcting her) Edmund Fitzgerald.\n\nELIANE\nI love Edmund Fitzgerald's voice.\n\nJERRY\n(Gives Elaine a look) No, Gordon Lightfoot\nwas the singer. Edmund Fitzgerald was\nthe ship.\n\nGEORGE\n(Talking about his would-be apartment)\nYou could fit 15 people in that bathroom..\n\nELAINE\nI think Gordon Lightfoot was the boat.\n\nJERRY\n(Sarcastic) Yeah, and it was rammed\nby the Cat Stevens.\n\nKRAMER\n(Like a teacher) The Andrea Doria collided\nwith the Stockholm in dense fog 21 miles\noff the coast of Nantucket. (Makes a\nclicking sound with his\n\ntongue)\n\n(Everyone's taken back by Kramer's knowledge)\n\nGEORGE\nHow do you know?\n\nKRAMER\nit's in my book - \"Astonishing Tales\nof the Sea\" 51 people died.\n\nGEORGE\n51 people?!\n\nKRAMER\nThat's it?! I thought it was, like,\na thousand!\n\nKRAMER\nThere were 1,650 survivors.\n\nGEORGE\nThat's no tragedy! How many people do\nyou lose on a normal cruse? 30? 40?!\nKramer, can I take a look at that book?\n(Starts walking tward the door.\n\nKramer grabs his food, and follows)\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah. I also got \"Astounding Bear\nAttacks\"\n\n(George opens the door, and enters Kramer's apartment. Jerry\nstops Kramer before he can do the same)\n\nJERRY\nHey, uh, before you go, did you talk\nto Newman about getting that mail outta\nthere?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, he's not gonna\ndo it. (Leaves)\n\n(Jerry nods his head - like it was expected)\n\nNewman's apartment)\n\n(Jerry knocks on the door as it opens slowly. Newman's sitting\non the couch, watching TV in a state of depression)\n\nJERRY\nNewman?\n\nNEWMAN\n(Eyes glued to the TV) I guess.\n\nJERRY\nListen, I want you to get the mail outta\nmy storage unit.\n\nNEWMAN\nSometimes we don't get what we want.\n\nJERRY\n(Confused) What are you talking about?\n\nNEWMAN\nI didn't get my transfer.\n\nJERRY\n\"Transfer\"?\n\nNEWMAN\nTo Hawaii. The most sought-after postal\nroute of them all. The air is so dewy-sweet\nyou don't even have to like the stamps..\nBut it's not to be - So, I'm\n\nhanging it up.\n\nJERRY\nYou quit the post office?\n\nNEWMAN\nKind of. I'm still collecting checks,\nI'm just not delivering mail.\n\nJERRY\nWell, get it out of my storage. It's\nillegal.\n\nNEWMAN\nAnd yet, it's perfectly legal to take\na man's soul and crush it out like a\nstale Pall Mall.\n\nJERRY\n(Cheerfully) Well, a law's a law. (Leaves)\n\nCentral Park)\n\n(Kramer's sitting on a bench coughing. A man walking some dogs\npasses. A coughing other than Kramer's can be heard. Kramer stops\nthe man)\n\nKRAMER\nOk, hold on there.. That's a nasty cough\nyou got there, huh?\n\nMAN\nWhat cough?\n\n(One of his dogs, Smuckers, coughs. Kramer reacts while pointing\nto the dog)\n\nRestaurant)\n\n(Elaine's on a date with Alan)\n\nELAINE\nI love shrimp! (Waves her knife around\nas she's talking) I'm a shrimp eater.\nYou put shrimp infront of me, (Waves\nher knife along with her hand gestures.\n\nAlan is getting edgy about it, and even more so with every wave)\nand I will eat it until my stomach pops! (Notices Alan's unsettled)\nOh.. (Puts the knife down)\n\nALAN\nNo, it's okay. I'm.. still just a little\nbit jumpy.\n\nELAINE\n(Leans in close) Between you and me,\nwhat happened there with the stabbing?\n\nALAN\nJust.. one of those things, you know.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Was she just so crazy in love\nwith you that she just couldn't take\nit anymore? Or..?\n\nALAN\nI don't know. Could be.\n\n(A woman, Carol, passes. She stops infront of Elaine and Alan's\ntable)\n\nCAROL\nAlan?!\n\nALAN\nCarol?\n\n(Carol grabs his hot coffee, and throws it in his face, then\nstorms off. Alan screams from the pain)\n\nELAINE\n(Gets up, pointing after Carol) Was\nthat the one?! Was that the one who\nstabbed you?!\n\nALAN\n(Between screams) No, that was a different\ngirl.\n\n(Elaine looks confused. Scene ends)\n\nCoffee shop)\n\nJERRY\nThere was another crazed ex-girlfriend?\n\nELAINE\nRight, so, I called my friend, you know\n- the one who set us up - I found out,\nhe's a bad-breaker-upper.\n\nJERRY\nMmm.. Bad how?\n\nELAINE\n(Fast) Well, you know when you break\nup, how you say things you don't mean?\nWell, he says the mean things you don't\nmean, but he means them.\n\nJERRY\n(Nods) I follow. So what are you gonna\ndo?\n\nELAINE\nDump him. I can't be with someone who\ndoesn't break up nicely. I mean, to\nme, that's one of the most important\nparts of a relationship.\n\nJERRY\n(Agreeing) What's more important?\n\n(Elaine shrugs, then Jerry shrugs, then Elaine, then they both\nget into sort of a shrug-off)\n\nNYC Street)\n\n(While Kramer's walking with his new found dog, Smuckers, he\nmeets up with George. Kramer and the dog both start coughing)\n\nKRAMER\n(Between coughs) Hey.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat's with the dog?\n\nKRAMER\n(Petting Smuckers) Yeah, this is Smuckers.\nI borrowed him. (Starts coughing)\n\nGEORGE\nOh..\n\n(Smuckers coughs)\n\nKRAMER\n(Pointing at the dog) Yeah, we share\nthe same affliction, so I'm gonna have\na vet check us out.\n\nGEORGE\nA vet?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I'll take a vet over an M.D. any\nday. They gotta be able to cure a (Snaps\nhis fingers in rhythm with his words)\nlizard, a chicken, a pig, a frog (Stops\n\nsnapping) - all on the same day.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, if I may jump ahead - you're gonna\ntake dog medicine?\n\nKRAMER\n(Smiling) You bet we are! Huh, Smuckers?\n(Smuckers coughs. They turn to leave)\nI'll see ya.\n\nGeorge's apartment building)\n\n(George approaches Mr. Eldridge as he's entering his new apartment.\nGeorge is carrying Kramer's sea tales book)\n\nGEORGE\nAhoy! Mr. Eldridge. I understand you\nwere on the Andrea Doria.\n\nELDRIDGE\nYes, it was a terrifying ordeal.\n\nGEORGE\nI tell ya, I hear people really stuff\nthemselves on those cruise ships. (Laughs)\nThe buffet, that's the real ordeal,\nhuh, Clarence? (Laughs)\n\nELDRIDGE\n(Defensively) We had to abandon ship.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, all vacations have to end eventually.\n\nELDRIDGE\nThe boat sank.\n\nGEORGE\n(Holding up Kramer's book) According\nto this, it took.. 10 hours. It eased\ninto the water like an old man into\na nice warm bath - no offence. (Pause)\nSo,\n\nuh, Clarence, how about abandoning this apartment, and letting\nme shove off in this beauty?\n\nELDRIDGE\nIs that what this is all about?! I don't\nthink I like you. (Enters his apartment,\nand slams the door behind him)\n\nGEORGE\n(Yelling out) It's my apartment, Eldridge!\nThe Stalkholm may not have sunk ya,\nbut I will! Ha, ha, ha!\n\nVet's office)\n\n(Smuckers is getting examined by a vet)\n\nVET\nWhat are the symptoms?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, uh.. it hurts when he swallows.\nExpecially when he drinks orange juice.\n(Vet gives him a look) I mean, uh..\ndog food.. juice. (Adding) What's\n\nworse - he has a nagging cough. (Smucker's coughs) Yeah, that's\nit. That's it.\n\nVET\nYeah, well, uh - we've been seeing a\nlot of this lately. Been drinking from\nthe toilet?\n\nKRAMER\n(Offended) What? No. That's disgusting..\n\nCoffee shop)\n\nALAN\nSo that's it? We're, uh, we're breakin'\nup?\n\nELAINE\n(Confused by his sudden change-of-heart)\nWhat? Break-up? We went out on one date.\n\nALAN\n(Fast) Ok, yeah, sure, fine, right.\nWhatever you say.\n\nELAINE\n(Shows no sign that she cares) Alright,\ngood. Good.\n\nALAN\nOk, then, well, So.. see ya around..\nbig head. (Gets up to leave)\n\nELAINE\nPardon?\n\nALAN\nYou got a big head. It's too big for\nyour body. (Walks for the door)\n\nELAINE\n(Laughing out loud) That's it?! (Laughs\nagain) That's the best you got?! (Laughs\nloudly as Alan exits)\n\nJerry's apartment)\n\nGEORGE\nSo, he's keeping the apartment. He doesn't\ndeserve it, though! Even if he did suffer,\nthat was, like, 40 years ago! What has\nhe been doing lately?! I've\n\nbeen suffering for the past 30 years up to and including yesterday!\n\nJERRY\nYou know, if this tenant board is so\nimpressed with suffering, maybe you\nshould tell them the \"Astonishing Tales\nof Costanza\".\n\nGEORGE\n(Interested) I should!\n\nJERRY\nI mean, your body of work in this field\nis unparalleled.\n\nGEORGE\nI could go bumper to bumper with any\none else on this planet!\n\nJERRY\nYou're the man!\n\n(There's an urgent knocking at the door. Jerry answer it. Newman's\nstanding in the doorway)\n\nNEWMAN\nJerry!\n\nJERRY\nI'm with people, I'll be with you in\na moment. (Slams the door on Newman's\nface. Then tries to delay talking to\nNewman by keeping the conversation with\n\nGeorge going) So, you want a protein shake, or something?\n\nGEORGE\nNah, I guess I should really get moving\non this, huh? I'm gonna go. (Opens the\ndoor, letting Newman in. Leaves)\n\nJERRY\n(Angered) Hello.. Newman.\n\nNEWMAN\n(Urgent) I need that mail, where is\nit?!\n\nJERRY\nWhat's the difference?\n\nNEWMAN\nThe guy who had the Hawaii transfer\ngot busted for hoarding Victoria Secret\ncatalogues. I gotta deliver that mail!\n\nJERRY\nWell, go ahead. There's 8 bags of it.\n\nNEWMAN\nBlast! There's no way I can handle 8\nin addition to my ususal load of one!\nI'll never get to Hawaii! (Moves over\nto Jerry's couch, depressed) I'll be\n\nstuck in this apartment building forever! (Lays down on Jerry's\ncouch) The dream is dead.\n\nJERRY\nYou're giving up that easy?\n\nNEWMAN\nI usually do. (Gets up to leave) See\nya.\n\nJERRY\n(Stopping him) No, wait a minute, Newman!\nYou can't let this dream die. You moving\naway is my dream too!\n\nNEWMAN\n(Intrigued) What are you proposing?\n\nJERRY\n(Fast) Whatever it takes, for as long\nas it takes me, where ever it takes\nme as long as it takes you away from\nme!\n\nNEWMAN\nAn alliance?\n\nJERRY\n(Confirming) An alliance. (They both\nshake hands and laugh evily) Now get\nthe hell outta here. (Newman leaves)\n\nJerry's apartment)\n\n(Jerry's sorting mail out on his table)\n\nELAINE\nHawaii? That's why you're helping Newman\nwith the mail?\n\nJERRY\n(Like an Army general) Elaine, Newman\nis my sworn enemy. And he lives down\nthe hall from my home - my home, Elaine!\nWhere I sleep, where I come to\n\nplay with my toys.\n\nELAINE\nWell, anyway, get this: I spoke to Alan.\nYou know, I told him I didn't want to\nsee him anymore.. He called me \"big\nhead\".\n\nJERRY\n\"Big head\" (Scoffs) That's almost a\ncompliment.\n\nELAINE\n(Agreeing) It's one of the nicest things\nanyone's ever said to me.\n\n(The phone rings. Jerry answers it)\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\nGEORGE\n(On the other line) Hey.\n\nJERRY\nHey, George.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, listen, I can't make it later.\n\nJERRY\nYou can't make it?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, the tenant association has decided\nto hear my side of the story. So, uh,\nI gotta kinda get ready. I'll see ya.\n\nJERRY\nAlright. (Hangs up)\n\nELAINE\nIs he not gonna go to the coffee shop?\n\nJERRY\n(Saddened) Doesn't look like it's gonna\nhappen.\n\nELAINE\n(Gives a \"That's a shame\" face) Alright,\nwell, I'll see ya. (Opens the door to\nexit. Kramer enters coughing. Elaine\ndoes her best to dodge out of the way\nof\n\nKramer's coughs, then walks off)\n\nJERRY\nKramer, aren't you taking any medication\nfor that?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah. (Pulls a bottle out of his\npocket) I got some pilss. They taste\nterrible.\n\nJERRY\n(Takes the bottle from him) Just swallow\n'em.\n\nKRAMER\n(Gestures to his throat) No, my throat's\ntoo tender.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, sit down, sit down. (Grabs\na pill from the bottle, and starts advancing\ntward Kramer - like an owner with his\ndog)\n\nKRAMER\nI don't want to!\n\n(Jerry forces Kramer onto the couch. Kramer resists violently\n- much like a dog would)\n\nJERRY\nC'mon. Just sit down!\n\nKRAMER\n(Squirming) Jerry! What?!\n\nJERRY\nSit down! Sit down!\n\nKRAMER\n(Struggling) Hey!\n\nJERRY\nLean your head back. Open your mouth!\n(Grabs Kramer's head) Open your mouth!\nOpen it! Open it!\n\n(Jerry forces the pill into Kramer's mouth, then holds Kramer's\nmouth shut for a few moments. Thinking Kramer's already swallowed\nit, he lets go. Instantly, Kramer\n\nspits the pill out into the air. Jerry sighs, giving up)\n\nJERRY\n(Reads the pill bottle) What kind of\npills are these, anyways?! \"For Smuckers\"?\n\"May cause panting and loss of fur\"?\n(Turns to Kramer) These are dog\n\npills!\n\nKRAMER\nWhe have the same symptoms.\n\nJERRY\nBut, he's a dog! You need to see a real\ndoctor.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. No doctors.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.. (Heads for the door, grabbing\nhis coat)\n\nKRAMER\nWhere are you going?\n\nJERRY\nI'm taking the car. I gotta run some\nerrands. You want to go?\n\nKRAMER\nI don't know..\n\nJERRY\n(Opens the door) C'mon, you wanna go\nfor a ride? (Starts jiggling his keys\n- as if he's calling out for a dog)\nHuh? C'mon! C'mon!\n\n(Kramer eagerly gets up and runs out the door. Jerry follows\nKramer out)\n\nTaxi cab)\n\n(Elaine's riding in the back seat of a taxi)\n\nDRIVER\nLady, could you move your head a little\nbit?\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nDRIVER\nYour head.

(Slides down until just her eyes\nand\n\nforehead can be seen) Thank you.\n\nJerry's car)\n\n(Jerry is driving to an unknown destination. Kramer is restless\nin the back. He's scrambling around, looking out the windows\n- just as a dog would)\n\nKRAMER\nI don't see any tissues back her.. (Looks\nout the windows) Wait a minute!.. (Jerry\nlooks like he's trying to keep something\nfrom Kramer) This isn't the\n\nway to the park! (Starts getting even more energetic) Where are\nwe going?.. I recognize this block! (Looks at Jerry, scared)\nYou're taking me to the doctor!\n\nCoffee shop)\n\n(George is at the coffee shop with his parents)\n\nGEORGE\nSo, uh, Mom, Dad, I was hoping that\nyou could help me to remember my childhood\na little clearly..\n\nESTELLE\nI feel a draft.

(Points\nto a table)\n\nFRANK\n(Yelling) That's not a booth!\n\nESTELLE\n(Trying to match Frank's loudness) So,\nwho says we have to sit in a booth?!\n\nFRANK\n(Loud shouting) I didn't take the subway\nall the way to New York to sit at a\ntable like that! (Gestures to the table)\n\nESTELLE\n(Nagging yell) Well, I didn't take the\nsubway to be in a drafty restaurant!\n\n(A moment passes)\n\nGEORGE\n(Pleading for them to stop) Mom.. dad.\n\nFRANK\nNow, George, what do you want to know\nabout your childhood?\n\nGEORGE\n(Fed up with his parents) Actually,\nI think I'm pretty clear on it.\n\nFRANK\n(Looks up) Where's that breeze coming\nfrom?\n\nNYC Street)\n\n(Jerry's car is parked outside of the doctor's office. Kramer\nrefuses to get out of the car)\n\nJERRY\nKramer, outta the car. Out, now!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nAlright, that's it.. (Grabs Kramer,\ntrying to pull him out of the car)\n\nKRAMER\nNo! Don't!\n\n(Jerry pulls Kramer out onto the sidewalk. Kramer quickly gets\nup and takes off - running down the street)\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey! Get back over here! Kramer!\nGet over here! You are bad! Bad neighbor!\nKramer!\n\nTenant board room)\n\n(Mr. Eldridge is telling his story to the board members. Each\none looked touched by the tale. George, on the other hand, is\nbored to death.

(Stops,\nthen gives George a look. George stops\nknocking on the walls) It was the\n\nsweetest sight my eyes ever saw.\n\nRICARDI\n(Touched) Thank you Mr. Eldridge. The\ntenant board will now hear Mr. Costanza's\ntestimony.\n\n(George gets up, walks over to Mr. Eldridge, then gestures for\nhim to give up his chair. Eldridge reluctantly gets up and takes\nGeorge's seat in the corner)\n\nNewman's apartment)\n\n(Jerry enters. Newman has an ice pac on his ankle)\n\nJERRY\nNewman, how'd it go? Did you get it\nall delivered? (Sees the pac) What happened?\n\nNEWMAN\nKramer bit me!\n\nJERRY\nBit you?!\n\nNEWMAN\nWe had an arguement about me going to\nHawaii, and he locked onto my ankle\nlike it was a soup bone. I'm hubbled!\nI don't think I can do my route -\n\nand they're awarding the transfer in two days!\n\nJERRY\n(Bravely) Well, what if I deliver it?\n\nNEWMAN\nYou?! (Laughs hysterically) You can't\ndeliver mail!\n\nJERRY\nWell, why not?\n\nNEWMAN\n(Thinks for a moment) I guess you're\nright. It's just walking around putting\nit into boxes..\n\nJERRY\nWhat am I gonna wear?\n\nNEWMAN\nI could give you my uniform from my\nrookie year.\n\nJERRY\n(Excited) I can't believe I'm gonna\nbe a mailman!\n\n(Scene cuts to Jerry on Newman's route.

(Scene cuts\n\nto, yet, another story) Her parents were looking at me.. So,\nthere I was, with a marble rye hanging from the end of a fishing\npole.. (Scene cuts to his closing\n\nstatements) In closing, these stories have not been embellished,\nbecause - they need no embellishment. They are simply, horrifyingly,\nthe story of my life as a short,\n\nstocky, slow witted bald man. (Gets up) Thank you. (Every memeber\nof the board shows some sign that George's story is most deserving\nof the apartment. Ricardi\n\nis crying. George turns to leave, then remembers one more thing..)\nOh, also.. my fiance died from licking toxic envelopes that I\npicked out.

You're\nplaying right into his hands!\n\nELAINE\n(Realizing) What? Yeah.. you're right!..\nAll I have to do is call him up, and\nsit with him, and show him that it doesn't\nbother me.

Hurry!\n\n(Kramer takes off running down the street, looking for a cop.\nHe meets up with two officers exiting an ice cream shop. Before\nhe can tell them the urgent message,\n\nhe starts coughing uncontrollably)\n\nCOP\nBoy, that's some cough you got there.\n\n(Kramer keeps coughing while making gestures)\n\nCOP 2\nNo, I think he's trying to tell us something.\nWhat is it? (Between coughs, Kramer\nmanages to say the word \"trouble\") Trouble?!\nTrouble? Where? Where's\n\ntrouble? (Kramer coughs out the words \"Old Mill\") Trouble at\nthe Old Mill?! Oh my god!

Very...crafty.\n\nBETSY\nDoes she have any plans after she's\nreleased?\n\nGEORGE\nPlans. Schemes.

Little\nJerry Seinfeld must go down in the third\nround of tomorrow's main event.\n\nJERRY\nYou want Little Jerry to take a dive?\n\nMARCELINO\nShhh, not so loud.\n\nJERRY\nFirst of all, I don't think you can\nmake a rooster take a dive.\n\nMARCELINO\nCan, too!\n\nJERRY\nSecond of all, Jerry Seinfeld - big\nor little - doesn't go down for anyone,\nanywhere, at anytime!

Why should I be happy?\n\nGEORGE\nYou've still got pretty good coverage.\nOnce the enemy advances beyond this\nperimeter - (points at Kurt's head with\na pen) - then you won't be Kurt anymore.\n\nKURT\nWho will I be?\n\n(George points at himself. Kurt shudders.)\n\nKURT\nHow long do I have?\n\nGEORGE\n14 months. Maybe 10.\n\nKURT\nIs there anything I can do?\n\nGEORGE\nYes. Live, dammit. Live!

You were innocent!\n\nKURT\nThey thought I was George. I'm not that\nbald.

(to\n\nJerry) Hey, big baby, are you wetting yourself? Maybe it is time\nfor you to\n\nbe changed. (laughter) Hahah.\n\nPatty laughs too, with the few other spectators.

(to his audience)\n\nHuhuh. The baby got lucky on that one! Hahah.\n\nJerry walks back to deliver another serve. Kramer enters and\nlooks around for\n\nsomeone. On another court, Shellbach is facing an automatic serving\nmachine.\n\nKRAMER\n(waving) Shellbach.\n\nShellbach waves vaguely back to Kramer, who has begun to walk\nround the room\n\nto get to him.\n\nMeanwhile, Jerry returns a shot to Milos, with some venom.

I don't think I see a whole\nbook here.\n\nPETERMAN\nwell, I'm sure we'll come up with something.\nWhat do you say you and I order ourselves\na pie? Do you like Lorenzo's?\n\nELAINE\nYou know, a friend of mine almost got\nbeat up at that place by the Van Buren\nBoys?\n\nPETERMAN\n(Interested) You don't say.\n\nELAINE\nYeah. The only think that saved him\nis that he accidentally flashed their\nsecret gang sign.\n\nPETERMAN\nWell, that's pretty exciting. (Pause)\nLet's put that in the book.\n\nELAINE\nBut, that didn't happen to you.\n\nPETERMAN\nSo, we pay off your friend, and it becomes\na Peterman.\n\nELAINE\nNo, I - I really don't think you can\ndo that.\n\nPETERMAN\n(Looking at his dying plant) Ohh, damn.\nI forgot to buy plant food again.. I'll\nbet I got a coupon for it. (Starts looking\nthrough a small coupon box)\n\nELAINE\nYou know what? Maybe I better talk to\nmy friend.\n\nCoffee shop)\n\n(Jerry's on a date with Ellen, he's desperately trying to find\nout what is wrong with her)\n\nJERRY\nIs that the same outfit you were wearing\nyesterday?\n\nELLEN\nNo, this is brand new. Do you like it?\n\nJERRY\nActually, yeah. (Pause) Wait a second!\nIs that the fork that fell on the floor?!\n(Dramatically) Are you using the fork\nthat fell on the floor?!\n\nELLEN\n(Laughs) No, Jerry, the waitress game\nbe another one.\n\nJERRY\nI guess that's all right.\n\nELLEN\nIs something wrong, Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nNo, absolutely nothing. (They get up\nto leave) You're fantastic! (They meet\nup with Kramer and George on the way\nout) Hey guys!\n\nGEORGE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\n(Gesturing to Ellen) Kramer, George,\nthis is Ellen.\n\n(Kramer gives a look)\n\nSusan Ross Foundation conference room)\n\nGEORGE\nLadies and gentlemen, this (Opens the\ndoor, Steven is standing there) is Steven\nKoren. His G.P.A. is a solid 2.0! Right\nin that meaty part of the curve -\n\nnot showing off, not falling behind.\n\nWYCK\nGeorge, the quailifications for this\nscholarship were suppose to be.. largely\nacademic.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sure we're all aware of the flaws\nand biases of standardized tests..\n\nWYCK\nThese aren't standardized tests - these\nare his grades.\n\nGEORGE\nBesides, Steven Koren has the highest\nof aspirations. He wants to be (pauses\nfor effect) an architect.\n\nWYCK\nIs that right?\n\nSTEVEN\nActually, maybe I could set my sights\na little bit higher.\n\nGEORGE\n(Laughs) Steven, nothing is higher than\nan architect.\n\nSTEVEN\nI think I'd really like to be a city\nplanner. (Sits down, addressing the\nentire foundation board) Why limit myself\nto just one building, when I can design\na\n\nwhole city?\n\nWYCK\nWell, that's a good point.\n\nGEORGE\n(Mutters) No, it's not.\n\nSTEVEN\nWell, isn't an architect just an art\nschool drop-out with a tilty desk, and\na big ruler? (Laughs - so do the board\nmembers)\n\nGEORGE\n(Irritated) It's called a T-square.\n\nWYCK\nYou know, the stupidest guy in my fraternity\nbecame an architect - after he flunked\nout of dental school! (Everyone but\nGeorge laughs) Contratulations,\n\nyoung man.

Kramer's\npracticing putting golf balls on her office floor)\n\nELAINE\nWould you please just get on with the\nstupid Bob Saccamano story?!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm on the phone with Bob, and\nI realize right then and there that\nI need to return this pair of pants.\nSo, I'm off to the store.\n\nELAINE\nWhat happened to Bob Saccamano?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, nothing. His part of the story\nis done. (Elaine covers her face with\nher hands - showing her difficulty coping\nwith Kramer) So I'm waiting for the\n\nsubway, It's not coming, so I decided to hoof it through the\ntunnel.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, well, now that's something..\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't know if I lost track of\ntime - or what, but the next think I\nknew..\n\nELAINE\n(Adding) A train is bearing down on\nyou?!\n\nKRAMER\nNo, I slipped - and fell in the mud.\nRuining the very pants I was about to\nreturn.\n\nELAINE\n(Reflects on the story) I don't understand..\nyou were wearing the pants you were\nreturning?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I guess I was..\n\nELAINE\n(Still confused) What were you gonna\nwear on the way back?\n\nKRAMER\nElaine, are you listening?! I didn't\neven get there! (Pauses) All right,\nnext story..\n\nELAINE\nAlright, I think I got enough for one\nday.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah, chew on that.\n\nELAINE\n(Mocking) Yeah, I'll chew on that.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey, listen, by the way - I'm hosting\na little get-together tonight in honor\nof my little financial upturn..\n\nELAINE\nOh, thanks. I've got plans.\n\nKRAMER\nElaine, you should be there to document\nit.\n\nELAINE\n(Putting on her coat) Oh, you're getting\ntogether with some of your jackass friends,\nand you want me to take notes?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, but get there after nine. You\nknow, give the poeple a chance to loosen\nup.\n\n(Kramer turns to go, but slips on a golf ball. He falls to the\nground. Elaine looks at him as if to say 'What a doofus.')\n\nJerry's apartment)\n\nJERRY\nSo you're denying him the scholarship\njust because he wants to be a city planner?\n\nGEORGE\nI was betrayed! That kid was like a\nson to me. And if there's one person\nyou should be able to hold down, it's\nyour own flesh and blood. Like my\n\nfather.. my father's father before him.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, maybe philanthropy is not\nyour field. (Phone rings, he answers\nit) Hello. Oh, Hi, Ellen. Yeah, I called\nthe hotel.. we're all set for the weekend.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're spending the weekend with Ellen?\n\nJERRY\n(To George, in a 'cha-ching!' motion)\nVermont! (To Ellen) With any luck, they\nsaid we could stay an extra couple of\ndays if we want to! (George is\n\ndisturbed. He gets up, goes go Kramer's door, and knocks. They\ntalk) Four days at a beautiful bed-and-breakfast! I can't wait..\nbuy-bye. (Hangs up. George and\n\nKramer come into Jerry's apartment, confronting him) What? (George\ntakes the phone off the hook) What is this?\n\nGEORGE\n(To Kramer) You want to start?\n\nKRAMER\n(To George) Uh, No, no, no.. you go\nahead. I gotta get my thoughts together.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, this whole Ellen situation..\nhas gone far enough.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?!\n\nKRAMER\n(Adding) Jerry, she's a loser.

Excuse me! (Gets up)\nI'm not buying any of this!\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, so what're you saying? That\nwe're wrong?

I got big\ntrouble with the - with the Van Buren\nBoys.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, now, they're tough cookies.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, and I - I heard you got on their\ngood side. Now, what'd you do?\n\nKRAMER\nUh.. ah, (Looks over at Elaine, and\nrealizes he can't tell the Van Buren\nBoys story) Oh, nothing - nothing..\nNo, I certainly don't have any stories,\nif that's\n\nwhat you're implying. (Laughs heartily)\n\nGEORGE\n(Frantic) Kramer, do you know what those\nguys are gonna do to me?!\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well, uh.. you know uh, you didn't\nhear from me, but, uh, the Van Buren\nBoys - they never hassle their own kind.\n\nGEORGE\nYou mean, like, a former member?\n\n(Kramer nods his head while drinking from a mug of beer)\n\nJerry's apartment)\n\nELAINE\nThese Kramer stories are unusable! (Thumbs\nthrough them) I mean, some of them aren't\neven stories! (Holds one out) Look,\nthis is a list of things in his\n\napartment!\n\nJERRY\nIs my toaster oven on there?\n\nELAINE\nHow am I ever gonna turn this into a\nbook?\n\nJERRY\nWell, just shape them - change them.\nYou're a writer.\n\nELAINE\nYes! I'm a writer.\n\nJERRY\nMake them interesting.\n\nELAINE\nInteresting! Of course! People love\ninteresting writing!\n\n(Jerry reacts oddly, as if to say 'That's enough of that!')\n\nJERRY\nWell, I gotta go to the airport. I'm\npicking up my parents.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? Wheren't they just here?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. I'm flying them in to meet Ellen.\nI don't know where to turn! I gotta\nsee what they think of her.\n\nELAINE\nMaybe we could all have dinner later?\n\nJERRY\nI don't think so. I'm gonna try to get\nthem to fly right back tonight.\n\n(Enter Kramer)\n\nKRAMER\nOh, hey! Hey, have I told you about\nmy bunions? Oh, you're gonna love this\nstory! (Rubs his hands together) So,\nI line up my cold cuts on the couch\n\nnext to me, but as I'm stacking them up, they keep falling into\nmy foot bath! (Jerry and Elaine look disgusted)\n\nJERRY\nKramer, this is awful!

I think I got ripped off!\n(Leaves, yelling out \"Newman!\")\n\nPeterman's office)\n\nELAINE\nOh, what didn't you like about the first\nchapter?\n\nPETERMAN\nWell, it started out nicely: \"I'm returning\nsome pants.\" A very identifiable problem..\n(turns page) \"I set of down a train\ntunnel.\".. (turns page) But that's\n\nwhere the story takes a most unappealing turn.\n\nELAINE\nOh, no, no! That's where it gets interesting!\nDon't you see? The - the train is bearing\ndown on you, you - you dive into a side\ntunnel - and you run into a\n\nwhole band of underground tunnel dwellers!\n\nPETERMAN\nIt just seems so cliched, and obvious.\nIt's not interesting writing.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.. yeah. I know. Um.. how about\nif, instead of.. diving from the train,\nyou.. uh, you, I don't know, you slip\nand, and fall in some mud, and.. ruin\nyour\n\npants?\n\nPETERMAN\n(Intrigued) The very pants I was returning.\nThat's perfect irony!

I can't\nbelieve you got away with that!\n\nELAINE\nWell, I'm very fortunate to be\nsurrounded by such stupidity.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I know how you feel.\n\n(Meanwhile, MIKE's yelping and\nbanging in the trunk!)\n\nELAINE\nDo you hear something?\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\n(Meanwhile, MIKE, in a now-hoarse\nvoice is shouting, \"Jerry?! Jerry?!\")\n\nJERRY\nOh, the trunk's broken, it's rattling.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, I don't know how much longer\nI can keep this up. They're starting\nto give Susie assignments now!\n\nJERRY\nWell, there's only one thing to\ndo. Eliminate her.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\n[firmly matter-of-fact] Get Rid\nof Susie. Make her disappear.\n\nELAINE\nI kinda like her.\n\nJERRY\nShe's Gooone.\n\nELAINE\n\nJERRY--\n\nJERRY\n[impatient] Gone! [starts maniacally\nlaughing]\n\n[briefly stops to point and explain]\nThat bumper sticker.\n\n[They BOTH scream, laughing! In\nthe trunk, MIKE has heard most\nof the conversation! The laughing\ncontinues!]\n\nMIKE\n[desperately anxious] Oh God, I'm\nin trouble..\n\n[At night, GEORGE is upset and\nknocking on Kramer's door.]\n\nGEORGE\nKrama. Open up! I--I know you're\nin there!\n\nKRAMER\n[opens door] Uh--George, uh--uh--it's\nfive o'clock in the morning, what's\nthe matter with you..\n\nGEORGE\n[sad] It's only four..\n\nKRAMER\nHuh?\n\nGEORGE\nI--I've been, walkin' around all\nnight.. I've been thinkin' about\nAllison and me.. an' you--\n\nKRAMER\nOh. Oh, George.\n\nGEORGE\nPlease. Give me another chance.\n\nKRAMER\n[regretfully] Uh.. I know I'm gonna\nregret this.\n\n[sigh] All right.\n\nGEORGE\n[grateful, relieved] Thank you!\n\nI'm gonna make you both so happy!\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, all right, I'll see\nya later. [shuts door]\n\nGEORGE\n[delighted!] Woooo!\n\n[The next day, ELAINE's passing\nby the door of PETERMAN's office.]\n\nPETERMAN\nElaine! Where's Susie? I want her\nto head up our new Fingerless Glove\nDivision.\n\nELAINE\n[quiet] Oh, but I thought I was\nin line for that assignment.\n\nPETERMAN\nMmmmm--nah.\n\nELAINE\nAll right, then, I was gonna wait,\nto tell ya this, but.. last night,\nSusie..\n\n[difficult subject, quiet] she\ntook her own Life..\n\n[PETERMAN grasps this, weepy in\ndisappointment, \"Oh!\".

There's\na podium on a riser, flowers everywhere.]\n\nELAINE\n[quiet] Look at this turnout.\n\nJERRY\n[quiet] Where did Susie find the\ntime to meet all these people..\n\nELAINE\n[irritated] Your funeral's not\ngonna come close to this.\n\n[They've found seats together in\nthe row in front of PEGGY, who\nlooks like she's seeing a ghost!]\n\nPEGGY\n[to herself] Oh my god!\n\n[quiet] Susie?\n\nELAINE\n[quiet] Oh, oh--ho--I'm not Susie..\nI'm Elaine.\n\nPEGGY\nBut I've been calling you Susie.\n\nELAINE\nOh! Hadn't noticed!\n\nExcuse me. [she's going to the\npodium]\n\nPEGGY\nI guess I never met Susie.\n\nJERRY\n[privately amused] Suze? I actually\nhad a little thing with her for\na while.\n\n[indicating ELAINE] Her too.\n\n[ELAINE's now at the podium.]\n\nELAINE\nWhat can you say about a girl like\nSusie? [she doesn't know..]\n\n[Meanwhile, out in the parking\nlot, PETERMAN arrives in his little\nred convertible (top down), distracted\nwith\n\ndisappointment/sadness. He parks\nbehind Jerry's car and bumps it.\nJerry's trunk has unlatched but\nnot popped open big.\n\nPETERMAN doesn't notice anything\nand goes in. Shortly after he passes,\nMIKE comes out of the trunk, squinting\nin the\n\ndaylight, his body is sore, he\nshuts the trunk.\n\nNearby, there's a small announcement\nsign (with stick-in white letters):\n\nTODAY'S\n\nSCHEDULE\n\nLIEBERMAN BARMITZVAH\n\n<--\n\nSUSIE'S MEMORIAL\n\n-->\n\n(APPROXIMATION)\n\nMIKE sees it and is alarmed!

Everyone is in tuxedos and\ngowns, and the music is mellow\nand quiet. GEORGE is\n\nwaiting in a tux for Allison, but\nKRAMER arrives in his rather tight\ntux. They talk quietly.]\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere's uh, where's Allison..\n\nKRAMER\nOh, Allison, she didn't want to\ncome.\n\nGEORGE\nBut you took me back.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, yeah, I did, but she's a\ntough nut.\n\nHow d'ya like the tuxedo. It's\na rental but I've had it for fifteen\nyears.\n\nAll right, eh. [heading in]\n\nGEORGE\nWhere are you goin'..\n\nKRAMER\nThe Ball, silly.\n\nGEORGE\n[afraid not] No no, no no no. You're\nnot goin' in there.\n\nKRAMER\nGeorge. I thought you were gonna\nChange.\n\nGEORGE\n[impatient] For her. Not for you.\n\nKRAMER\n[light admonishing, under breath]\nLet's just try, an' have a nice\ntime for once, an' we'll talk about\nthis when we get home..\n\n[They start struggling quietly,\nKRAMER's trying to just walk by,\nand GEORGE is trying to restrain\nhim without attracting too\n\nmuch attention.]\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, look--wait--wait--Krama--wait,\nwait a minute, you are not. You\nare not goin' in. Ah-ahhh!\n\n[GEORGE had KRAMER in a slightly\nspinning hold--by holding the back\nof KRAMER's tux--but the material\ntore away, and\n\nthis sent KRAMER spinning into\nthe room with the back torn off\nhis tux!

Ah-ha..\n\n[Meanwhile at the Memorial, ELAINE\nis still at the podium.

May I say a few words.\n\nELAINE\nOh, god, yes, Mr. Peterman. [steps\ndown]\n\nPETERMAN\n[steps up to the podium, refreshed]\nAhhh.\n\nI don't think I'll ever be able\nto forget Susie--ahhh. And most\nof all, I will never, forget that\none night. Working late on the\n\ncatalogue. Juuust the two of us.\nAnd we surrendered to temptation.\n\nAnd it was Pretty Good.\n\nJERRY\n[proud to PEGGY, under his breath]\nYeah, but he didn't sleep with\nboth of 'em.

Annoying little product. 'I\n\ncan do this. I can do that.' Why doesn't this stuff just shut\nup?\n\nJENNA\nI'm gonna grab you a towel.\n\nJenna leaves the bathroom. Jerry brushes his teeth. He clearly\ndoesn't like the\n\ntaste of the baking soda, and leans over the sink to spit. He\nputs his hand on\n\nthe counter and knocks Jenna's toothbrush off the edge. The brush\nfalls into the\n\ntoilet bowl.\n\nThere is a shot from beneath the water in the toilet, looking\nup. Jerry's face\n\nlooking down into the bowl, with an expression of shock and horror.\n\nJerry looks behind him, to see if Jenna has spotted him. He rolls\nup the sleeve\n\nof his dressing gown, grimaces, and plunges his hand into the\ntoilet. He grabs\n\nthe brush out, drops it on a shelf beside the mirror and immediately\nbegins\n\nfrantically washing his hands. As he completes this task, he\nraises his head and\n\nfinds Jenna has returned. She is standing behind him, smiling\nas she brushes her\n\nteeth with the brush he just retrieved from the toilet.\n\nJERRY\nOoh-ooh\n\n(Monk's)\n\nJerry and George in a booth, as per usual.\n\nGEORGE\nSo?\n\nJERRY\nSo? She used the toothbrush!\n\nGEORGE\nYou said you grabbed it outta there\nreal fast, right?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nSo I'm sure whatever germs it landed\non were knocked out, and by the\n\ntime the rest of them realised what was going on, you had already\ngrabbed it\n\nout.\n\nJERRY\nHow many years of med school did you\nhave?\n\nGEORGE\nWas she mad?\n\nJerry says nothing, but pulls a face.\n\nGEORGE\nYou didn't tell her.\n\nJERRY\nJenna's like me. She's very... (searches\nfor word)\n\nGEORGE\nFinicky? Prissy? Fastidious?\n\nJERRY\nI'll take fastidious.\n\nGeorge puts his keys on the table. On the ring is a miniature\nhead, clearly a\n\ncaricature of someone.\n\nJERRY\nWhat is that?\n\nGEORGE\nAhh, Steinbrenner gave 'em to us, in\nhonour of Phil Rizzuto being\n\ninducted into the Hall of Fame.\n\nHe squeezes the miniature head.\n\nHEAD\nHoly cow!\n\nJERRY\nThey don't actually have to squeeze\nhis head to get him to say 'holy\n\ncow', do they?\n\nGEORGE\nJust the last few innings of a double-header.\n\nKramer enters.

I'm in the passing\nlane of the Arthur Berkhardt\n\nexpressway, going seventy and (makes impact sound - pckergh!)\nDragged this thing\n\nfor five exits.\n\nHe dumps the machine on the table and sits beside Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nWhy didn't you pull over?\n\nKRAMER\nWell I was draughting behind a semi.\nI didn't wanna lose him. The\n\ninfrastructure, Jerry, it's crumbling.\n\nGeorge squeezes the miniature head.\n\nHEAD\nHoly cow!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, look at that.

Nothing's throwing me at\nthis point.\n\nKRAMER\n(handing Jerry a cigar) Well, as of\ntoday I am a proud parent of a\n\none-mile stretch of the Arthur Berkhardt Expressway.\n\nJERRY\nOh, that adopt-a-highway thing.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'm part of the solution now Jerry.\nYeah, I went down there and I\n\nchecked it out this morning. Here, take a look. Mile one-fourteen.\n\nHe gets his wallet from his back pocket and shows Jerry a Polaroid\nsnapshot in\n\nit.\n\nJERRY\nAw, looks just like you.\n\nKRAMER\nAw, I'm beaming Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nSo what d'you have to do? Pay to keep\nit clean?\n\nKRAMER\nThey try to push you into using their\ncleaning crew, with all their\n\nso-called maintenance equipment.\n\nJERRY\nThat old scam.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well that's why I'm doing it all\nmyself. This parenting isn't\n\nabout delegating responsibility, it's about being there.\n\nJERRY\nAt the side of the road, with a pile\nof garbage.\n\nKRAMER\nQuality time.\n\nGeorge enters looking anxious, maybe borderline panicky. He stalks\nabout the\n\nplace, looking for something, frustratedly.\n\nGEORGE\nKeys.

What d'you\ndo today?\n\nGEORGE\nI got up, I was supposed to go to work,\nI came here instead.\n\nKRAMER\nRight.\n\nJERRY\nWell, they're not here. You'll have\nto dig up your spare set.\n\nGEORGE\nI don't have a spare set. All my keys\nsay 'do not duplicate'.\n\nJERRY\nSo?\n\nGEORGE\nSo you can't duplicate 'em.\n\nAt this, Jerry and Kramer exchange a look, and laugh.\n\nKRAMER\nSure you can. (to Jerry) Such a sweet\nkid.\n\n(Street)\n\nElaine stands on the sidewalk, waiting for someone. She looks\nup the street and\n\nsees a Chinese delivery boy approaching with a bag of food. She\nducks into the\n\nentranceway to the apartment building behind her, and then effects\nto be coming\n\nout of the building as the delivery boy gets there.\n\nELAINE\nOh. Oh, hi. China Panda?\n\nDELIVERY BOY\n(suspicious) Why you waiting on the\nstreet and not in your\n\napartment?\n\nELAINE\nI... thought that I would meet you halfway.\n\nShe takes the bag of food.\n\nDELIVERY BOY\nYou really live here?\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah. (handing over money) There\nyou go, keep the change. Bye now.\n\nI'll see you.\n\nElaine walks back towards the door to the building. She expects\nthe boy to\n\nleave, but he's still suspicious, and waits. Elaine tries the\ndoor, but it's\n\nlocked. She looks, and the boy still waits. Elaine tries the\ndoor harder, but it\n\nwon't yield. She admits defeat and hands the food back, and receives\nher money.\n\nThe delivery boy walks off.\n\nELAINE\n(at the boy's back) This isn't fair.\nThis is address discrimination!\n\n(Another Street)\n\nGeorge is standing outside a store, looking preoccupied. Jerry\nemerges from the\n\nstore with a carrier bag full of stuff.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I cleaned out their whole dental\nhygiene shelf.\n\nGEORGE\nSo the plan is to secretly sterilise\nher mouth?\n\nThey begin to walk along the street.\n\nJERRY\nBy the time I'm through with her mouth,\nshe'll be able to eat off it. Is\n\nit safe to drink bleach if you dilute it?\n\nGEORGE\nNo, stings the throat. Anyway, so I\nwas coming along here, and I felt\n\nlike a piece of cake, you know? But then I thought, it's morning,\nI should\n\nreally have a muffin. I like those chocolate chip ones. Then\nI figured, well,\n\nthey're really both cake. So I, uh, I sat on that bench for a\nlittle while,\n\ntwenty minutes or an hour, and then I figured, check and see\nwhat you were up\n\nto. (a thought occurs to him) Wait a minute, wait a minute. The\nbroad jump! The\n\nbroad jump over the pothole on Eighty-sixth Street!\n\nGeorge dashes off excitedly. Jerry follows, with somewhat less\nenthusiasm.\n\n(Eighty-sixth Street)\n\nGeorge is still animatedly leading Jerry along in pursuit of\nhis keys.\n\nGEORGE\nNow I remember, as I jumped over the\nhole I heard a, like a jingling\n\nsound.\n\nJERRY\nYou didn't look down?\n\nGEORGE\nI was trying to stick the landing. (indistinct)\n...was right around\n\nhere.\n\nHe peers about at the road surface for the pothole. He finds\na patch of fresh\n\ntarmac.\n\nGEORGE\nNo! No!!\n\nA car drives by, running right over the patch.\n\nHEAD\nHoly, Holy Cow!\n\nJERRY\nPoor son of a bitch.\n\n(Jenna's Apartment)\n\nJenna is at the sink in her bathroom, using an electric toothbrush\nwhich Jerry\n\nhas bought her. It's loud.\n\nJERRY\nIt's a hundred thousand revolutions\na second. It's the most powerful one\n\nthey make.\n\nJENNA\nIt's like I'm holding a blender.\n\nJERRY\nThe engine's made by McDonnell-Douglas.\n\nJerry begins to wander into the living room. Jenna switches off\nthe brush.\n\nJERRY\nOh no, you keep going. It shuts off\nautomatically.\n\nJENNA\n(restarting and reapplying the brush)\nReally, it does?\n\nJERRY\n(unheard by Jenna) When the battery\nruns out.\n\nJENNA\n(shouting to Jerry) I was really happy\nwith my old toothbrush.\n\nIn the living room, Jerry is carefully putting the old brush\ninto a plastic bag,\n\nbeing very careful not to touch it with his bare skin. He then\nseals the bag.\n\nJERRY\nNo, trust me, that one was doing more\nharm than good. Don't forget to use\n\nthe Plax too.\n\nJenna takes a sip from a glass as if to gargle.\n\nJENNA\nThat stuff tastes like bleach!\n\nJerry is looking for a place to put the soiled brush.\n\nJERRY\nI don't know anything about that.\n\nJust before Jenna emerges from the bathroom, Jerry throws the\nbag with the brush\n\nout of the window.\n\nJENNA\nMmm. My mouth feels so clean.\n\nJERRY\nThat's the idea.\n\nJenna approaches Jerry, clearly intending to kiss him. As Jenna\nleans toward\n\nhim, Jerry gets a flashback of the toothbrush plunging into the\ntoilet bowl, in\n\nblack and white, with portentous music. From his viewpoint, we\nsee Jenna's lips\n\nlooming toward him. He looks nauseated by the prospect of the\nkiss, and pulls\n\naway.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, maybe we better not. I, I\nthink I'm getting a little cold. I\n\ndon't wanna give you any of my germs.\n\nJENNA\nAww. Okay. Thanks, I guess.\n\n(Jerry's Car)\n\nJerry driving with Elaine in the passenger seat.\n\nELAINE\nYou still couldn't kiss her?\n\nJERRY\nShe has a taint. I can't see it, but\nI know it's there.\n\nELAINE\nOh, so now you're finding fault on a\nsub-atomic level.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe if I could shrink myself down,\nlike in Fantastic Voyage, and get\n\ninside a microscopic submarine, I could be sure. Although if\nthere was something\n\nthere, it might be pretty scary. Course, I would have that laser.\n\nELAINE\nJer, do you see where this is going?\n\nJERRY\nBeing really clean and happy?\n\nELAINE\nJerry, you have tendencies. They're\nalways annoying, but they were just\n\ntendencies. But now, if you can't kiss this girl, I'm afraid\nwe're talking\n\ndisorder.\n\nJERRY\nDisorder?\n\nELAINE\nAnd from disorder, you're a quirk or\ntwo away from full-on dementia.\n\nJERRY\n(thoughtful) Hmm, that could hurt me.\n(pointing out of window) Hey, there\n\nit is.\n\nWe see Jerry and Elaine's view of the road signs. 'Mile 114'\n'Adopt-a-Highway'\n\nand 'Litter removal next 1 Mile KRAMER'.\n\nELAINE\nShall we stop and say hi?\n\nJERRY\nNah, we've seen it.\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\n(Mile 114)\n\nKramer is standing on the verge beside a large pile of plastic\nbags full of\n\ntrash, a couple of brooms lean against the crash barrier. He\nhas an armful of\n\nassorted garbage. Jerry's car passes in the traffic, and a brief\nbeep of the\n\nhorn is heard.\n\nKRAMER\n(shouting after car) Hey Jerry! Yeah,\nI'll see you back at the house!\n\nHe drops the last handful of trash into a bag.\n\nKRAMER\nMile one-fourteen, clean as a whistle.\n\nHe claps his hands in satisfaction, and looks out at 'his' road.\nHe notices\n\nsomething. In the middle of the road is a Coke can, crushed by\ntraffic.\n\nKramer makes a decision, and dashes out into the traffic to retrieve\nthe can.\n\nHis progress to the can is accompanied by the squeal of brakes\nand the blare of\n\nhorns as the traffic passes him. As he reaches the can, one car\nhas to come to a\n\ncomplete stop. Kramer grabs the can and hurries back to the side\nof the road,\n\nwhere he leans on the barrier.\n\n(Apartment Building)\n\nElaine is in the hallway of a building, outside Apartment 1A.\nShe knocks at the\n\ndoor and a guy opens it.\n\nMAN\nYeah?\n\nELAINE\nHi. I'm your neighbour, uh, fr... from\nacross the street. And uh,\n\n(coughs nervously) I was wondering, if it wouldn't be too much\ntrouble, if I\n\ncould use your apartment to order some food?\n\nMAN\nWha? What d'you want?\n\nELAINE\nYou see, there's this certain flounder\nand they won't deliver it to my\n\nside of the street.\n\nMAN\nWh, when is that?\n\nELAINE\nNo, I just need them to deliver it here\nand I have to be kinda inside is\n\nall.\n\nMAN\nWho are you with?\n\nELAINE\nNo, actually I'm... I'm just kind of\nhungry.\n\nMAN\nWho let you in?\n\nELAINE\nWell, the lock was broken. You just\nhave to jiggle it, actually. But, I\n\njust need like a half an hour to an hour.\n\nThe man shuts the door in her face.\n\nElaine turns to leave, and as she does she sees an unmarked door\nopposite which\n\nstands open. She crosses over for a closer look. It's clearly\na janitor's\n\ncloset, with the usual fixings. A thought occurs to Elaine, and\na smile comes to\n\nher face.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry has just entered and is removing his coat. Kramer is in\nthe kitchen\n\ncleaning highway signs in the sink.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's with the signs?\n\nKRAMER\nHey, you should see the Berkhardt, Jerry.\nMy mile is spotless. I mean\n\nthe big stuff was easy. Cinderblocks, air-conditioners, shopping\ncarts (makes\n\nsound - fzup!), I just rolled 'em into the woods.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that stuff's all natural anyway.\n\nKRAMER\n(holding up a sign) Speed limit, one\nhundred and sixty-five miles per\n\nhour. See? They slipped a one in there. (laughing) Those kids\nwith the spray\n\npaint, God love 'em.\n\nGeorge enters.\n\nJERRY\nHey. So, keys?\n\nGEORGE\nNo keys. And I been calling the city\nall day. Course there's not really\n\na number to call if you wanna make a pothole.\n\nJERRY\nI guess they leave that up to the general\npopulation.\n\nGEORGE\nI tell you this. If the real Phil Rizzuto\nwas down there, this wouldn't\n\nbe happening!\n\nJERRY\nHard to say.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, you need some roadwork done? 'Cos\nI met some maintenance guys today\n\non the highway, they could probably help you out.\n\nGEORGE\nReally?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, yeah. I borrowed some cones\nfrom them when I was sweeping my\n\ncar-pool lane.\n\nThe buzzer buzzes.\n\nJERRY\nYeah?\n\nJENNA\nIt's Jenna.\n\nJerry buzzes Jenna in, opens the door and indicates to George\nand Kramer that\n\ntheir presence is no longer required.\n\nJERRY\nIf you guys wouldn't mind, I would like\nto ward off dementia.\n\nGeorge and Kramer leave, still discussing the maintenance guys.\n\nGEORGE\nYou think you could hook me up with\nthese guys?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, yeah. Give me a ring tomorrow.\nI'm gonna be at emergency\n\ncallbox seven-eight-four.\n\nGEORGE\nSeven-eight-four.\n\nJenna enters.\n\nJENNA\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\nJENNA\nHow you feeling?\n\nJERRY\nGood. My cold's gone, and I've been\nlooking forwards to kissing you,\n\nwhich I'm ready to do now, if you are ready.\n\nJenna moves in for the kiss. As she leans towards Jerry, he gets\nthat revolted\n\nlook on his again and turns his face away.\n\nJENNA\nWhat?!\n\nJERRY\nNothing. I just, I uh, I bruised my\nlip. I was drinking a Celray, and I\n\nbrought it up too fast and I banged it into my lip, (lower voice\nand hurriedly)\n\nand then I knocked your toothbrush into the toilet and I wasn't\nable to tell you\n\nbefore you could use it.\n\nJENNA\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nI'm sorry.\n\nJENNA\nWhen were you gonna tell me this?!\n\nJERRY\nObviously never.\n\nThe door opens and Kramer enters.\n\nKRAMER\nI need the yield sign.\n\nKramer goes and begins to gather the signs from the kitchen.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I'm kind of in the middle of\nsomething. Would you get these signs\n\nout of here, please?\n\nKramer brings his signs from the kitchen and Jerry picks up those\nwhich were on\n\nhis table. Together they carry them across the hall to Kramer's\napartment.\n\nKRAMER\nYou could've introduced me.\n\nJERRY\nI wouldn't know where to start.\n\nAs Jerry is about to return to his apartment, the door is slammed\nshut. He tries\n\nto open it, but it has been locked.\n\nJERRY\n(knocking) Hey, Jenna. Hey!\n\nJenna opens the door, she has her jacket in her hand and is ready\nto leave.\n\nJENNA\nThere. Now something of yours has been\nin the toilet.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?! Wha... what'd you put in there?\n\nJENNA\nGotta run.\n\nJenna departs, leaving Jerry looking around him. He's wide-eyed,\nlooking panicky\n\nand disgusted.\n\nJERRY\nOh, man!\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry is on the phone. His table is covered with bottles of cleaning\nfluids,\n\ndisinfectants, etc.. He is wearing a rubber glove to hold a spatula.\nElaine is\n\neating an apple and watching him.\n\nJERRY\n(into phone) Hello, Jenna, did you dunk\nthe spatula? Was it the spatula?\n\nHello? Dammit!\n\nFrustrated, he throws the spatula into the waste bin.\n\nELAINE\nShe won't even give you a hint?\n\nJERRY\nNo. Could be anything. The whole apartment's\na biohazard.\n\nELAINE\nYou know what I bet it is? (points)\nYour remote.\n\nJERRY\nYes, that is a definite possibility.\n\nHe picks up the remote control and drops it into a waste bin.\n\nELAINE\n(walking to the couch) Or, could be\nyour walkman there.\n\nJerry picks up the walkman and begins to deposit it in the trash,\nthen a thought\n\noccurs to him. Elaine sits on the couch and picks up the phone.\n\nJERRY\nAre you just screwing with me?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I am.\n\nJerry thinks for a second, then he throws the walkman in the\ngarbage anyway.\n\nKramer enters carrying a box.\n\nKRAMER\nHey ah.\n\nJERRY\nHey, how's life on the road?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, I'm making a difference Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nI don't doubt it.\n\nKramer puts his box on the kitchen counter.\n\nKRAMER\nYou should see the smiles on the drivers'\nfaces. I mean, you gotta look\n\nquick, but they're there.\n\nFrom the box, Kramer picks up square orange reflective objects.\n\nJERRY\nWhat's this?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, you know, those annoying little\nbumps on the lane-lines? (makes\n\nnoise - bum, bum, bum, bum, bump)\n\nJERRY\nIsn't that some kind of safety thing?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I had to pull 'em up if I'm gonna\nwiden the lanes.\n\nJERRY\nWhat the hell are you talking about?\n\nKRAMER\nAh, you know how in planes they got\nfirst class? More leg room, better\n\nride? Well, I'm bringing that concept to mile one-fourteen.\n\nElaine has the receiver from the phone held to her ear.\n\nELAINE\nHow are you gonna widen the lanes?\n\nKRAMER\nWell you black out lane-lines one and\nthree, and a four-lane highway\n\nbecomes a two-lane comfort cruise. (to Jerry) So, you got any\nblack paint?\n\nJERRY\n(sarcasm) Yeah, in my toolshed, next\nto the riding mower.\n\nELAINE\n(into phone) Yuh, I'd like an order\nof supreme flounder, number\n\nforty-seven. Yeah, apartment one-Q.\n\nJERRY\nOne-Q? Whose apartment is that?\n\nELAINE\nThat's the janitor closet, across the\nstreet.\n\nJERRY\nYou're pretending to live in a janitor's\ncloset, just to get this\n\nflounder?\n\nELAINE\nIt's better than eating it alone in\nthe restaurant, like some loser.\n\nKramer is applying something from Jerry's table of cleaning fluids,\netc, to his\n\nneck, like a cologne.\n\nKRAMER\nThat stuff is unbelievable. I'd eat\nit out of a dumpster.\n\nELAINE\n(heading to door) How do you know about\nit? You're not in the delivery\n\nzone.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, Newman uses his mail truck to\nrun fish for China Panda on the\n\nweekends.\n\nELAINE\nWell, mine's coming in ten, so... see\nyou boys.\n\nElaine leaves.\n\nKRAMER\nNow, where's that tool shed of yours?\n\n(Apartment Building)\n\nThe delivery boy from China Panda in the hallway. He knocks at\nthe door to the\n\njanitor's closet. He looks at the label on the door, which is\na piece of tape\n\nwith '1Q' crudely written in magic marker. He waits for a couple\nof seconds then\n\nknocks again. Elaine opens the door, with a towel wrapped around\nher head, as if\n\nher hair is wet.\n\nELAINE\nHi. Sorry, I didn't hear you. I was\nin the shower.\n\nShe takes the bag with her order and hands over some money. The\ndelivery boy is\n\ntrying to see past her into the 'apartment'.\n\nELAINE\nI'll see you.\n\nShe shuts the door, leaving the delivery boy looking a tad bemused.\n\n(Eighty-sixth Street)\n\nGeorge stands by the filled pothole. A highway maintenance truck\nis parked next\n\nto it. A trio of workers approach George, and the senior man\nspeaks.\n\nRALPH\nYou Costanza?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. Thanks for, thanks for coming\nby fellas. Eh, got a set of keys,\n\nburied in the pothole.\n\nRALPH\nWhat're the keys doing in there?\n\nGEORGE\nJust need to uh, to dig 'em up.\n\nRALPH\nYou put 'em in there?\n\nGEORGE\nNah, nah, it's uh, it's a long story.\nJust uh, try to get it up.\n\nRALPH\nBad place to put your keys.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, I know that. (clears throat) Could\nyou start, working?\n\nRALPH\nDifficult job. You want those keys,\nwe're gonna have to dig this up.\n\nGEORGE\n(penny drops) Oh, uh, wait a minute,\nwait a minute. (snorts) Is this\n\nabout money?\n\nRALPH\nYeah. (snorts) It's about money.\n\n(Mile 114)\n\nKramer is driving his car slowly along the Expressway. On either\nside of his\n\nboot is balanced an orange road cone. The traffic is passing\nhim, and the blare\n\nof horns is regularly heard.\n\nKramer opens the driver side door. He picks up a paint roller,\nand loads it with\n\nblack paint from a tray on the passenger seat. Then he leans\nout of the door and\n\nrolls the paint over the lane markers, still steering the car\nwith his other\n\nhand.\n\n(Apartment Building)\n\nElaine emerges from the janitor's closet. She's wiping her lips,\nfollowing the\n\nflounder repast. As she does so, a woman walking along the hall\nnotices her.\n\nMRS ALLISTER\n'Scuse me, what are you doing in there?\n\nELAINE\nUhm, nothing. I was just uhm... I wasn't\nin there.\n\nMRS ALLISTER\nYou were hanging around in there, lazing\non the job. When you\n\nshoulda been downstairs in the basement, cleaning out those old\ncarpets and\n\nscrap wood.\n\nELAINE\nRight, because... I'm the janitor. (picks\nteeth with fingernail)\n\nMRS ALLISTER\nDon't get smart with me.\n\nELAINE\n(meek) Yes ma'am.\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nKramer is in bed. His alarm goes off, and the radio comes on\nin the middle of\n\nthe traffic report. Kramer wakes up and listens.\n\nRADIO\nHey, and if you're heading north on\nthe Arthur Berkhardt, whoah Nelly,\n\nfor some reason four lanes are converging into two, instantaneously\nright at\n\nmile-marker one-fourteen. I don't know what that is, but the\nA-B's a parking lot\n\nout there. Somebody screwed up on that one.\n\nBy the end of the report, Kramer looks slightly worried.\n\n(Janitor's Closet)\n\nElaine stands waiting in the closet. There's the usual paraphernalia\n- buckets,\n\nbrooms, cleaning materials, stepladder, boxes, etc.. There's\na knock at the\n\ndoor. Elaine opens it to find Jerry.\n\nELAINE\nOh it's you.\n\nJERRY\nIs the flounder here yet?\n\nELAINE\nNo, it's not here yet. You want the\ntour?\n\nJerry enters, and Elaine closes the door.\n\nELAINE\n(gesturing) There's this.\n\nJERRY\nNice. French doors'd really open this\nplace up. Oh, but you have a\n\nslop-bucket.\n\nThere's another knock at the door.\n\nELAINE\n(gleeful) The fish!\n\nShe opens the door to find George. He's wearing a tartan workshirt.\n\nELAINE\nAh, what're you doing here?\n\nGEORGE\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nGeorge joins Jerry and Elaine in the closet. It's getting a bit\ncramped.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, I was uh, I was waiting downstairs\nfor the jackhammer, thought I'd\n\ndrop by.\n\nJERRY\nKramer's guys?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah. I got 'em down to fifty bucks.\nI just have to do all the\n\njackhammering myself.\n\nJERRY\nOh that's nice, kind of a hard-labour\nfantasy camp.\n\nThe door is pushed open from the outside. It thumps into George\nwho is pushed\n\ninto Elaine, who stumbles into Jerry.\n\nGEORGE\nOw!\n\nELAINE\nUh, man!\n\nKramer enters the now crowded closet.\n\nKRAMER\nHuh, yeah. (looks round) Oh, sweet setup.\nElaine, d'you have any paint\n\nthinner? I need like uh, forty gallons.\n\nELAINE\nI'm plumb out.\n\nKRAMER\nOh man, if I don't get that black paint\noff the City's gonna go ape. I\n\ndon't wanna lose my baby!\n\nThere's yet another knock at the door. More strident.\n\nMRS ALLISTER\nJanitor?\n\nELAINE\n(to the guys) Uh, Mrs Allister. (louder)\nYeah, uh, just coming Mrs\n\nAllister. (to guys) Okay, I've gotta get out.\n\nElaine struggle to squeeze past George, and then Kramer to reach\nthe door. The\n\nshe has to make room to swing the door inwards.\n\nELAINE\nHere, can you move, you gotta move from\nthe door.\n\nShe succeeds in squeezing out, and stumbles into the hallway.\nThe crush behind\n\nher slams the door shut.\n\nELAINE\nHi, I uhm... What can I do for you?\n\nMRS ALLISTER\nI told you yesterday to haul that trash\noutta the basement.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, I am so sorry.\n\nMRS ALLISTER\nSome of the children have been playing\nnear it and putting it in\n\ntheir mouths.\n\nELAINE\nWell, a lot of it is vegetable...\n\nIn the closet, the guys are struggling together with equipment\nand supplies in\n\nthe cramped space. The thumps of their movements can be heard\nin the hallway.\n\nMRS ALLISTER\nGet that stuff outta there today, or\nyou'll be outta here.\n\nUnderstand?\n\nELAINE\n(meekly) Yes ma'am.\n\nThe janitor's closet door opens and the guys stumble out.\n\nGEORGE\n...stop pushing. (to Elaine) Kramer\nspilled ammonia.\n\nJERRY\nI don't feel like eating.\n\nKRAMER\n(holding up a set of heavy chains) I'm\ngonna borrow this, huh?\n\nELAINE\n(to Mrs Allister) Janitor's meeting.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJenna enters and sits, Jerry closes the door behind her. It is\nclear that Jerry\n\nhas gone overboard in his efforts to dispose of whatever was\ncontaminated - his\n\nkitchen shelves are bare, and most other surfaces are free of\nthe usual\n\nknick-knacks.\n\nJENNA\nSo Jerry, why'd you call me?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I thought it's about time we put\naside all this silliness. I know\n\nnow you didn't put anything in my toilet bowl. (pause) Did you?\n\nJENNA\nYes, I did.\n\nJERRY\nWell, whatever. So, how've you been?\n\nJENNA\nGood.\n\nJERRY\nGood. (pause) Steak knife?\n\nJENNA\nJust eating away at you isn't it?\n\nJERRY\nNah.\n\nThe door opens and Elaine enters.\n\nELAINE\nHi.\n\nJENNA\nHi.\n\nJERRY\nHi.\n\nELAINE\nHi. Jerry, can I borrow your car?\n\nJERRY\nFor what?\n\nELAINE\nI have to haul some dirty garbage to\nthe dump.\n\nJERRY\nDirt? That's alright, (for Jenna's benefit)\nbecause there's nothing wrong\n\nwith dirt.\n\nELAINE\nWell, actually it's pretty grimy.\n\nJERRY\nGrime, grease, filth, funk, ooze. Whatever\nit is, you take that stuff and\n\nput it right on my leather upholstery.\n\nHe hands the keys to Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I don't know who you are, but\nthanks for the car.\n\nJERRY\nSure. Bye.\n\nELAINE\nBye.\n\nJENNA\nBye.\n\nELAINE\nBye.\n\nElaine leaves.\n\nJERRY\nThere, you see? I just leant her my\ncar, and she's gonna fill it with all\n\nsorts of... (he cracks) Alright! You win! That car was my last\ngerm-free\n\nsanctuary. I slept there last night! Now, for the love of God,\nplease, what is\n\nit? What is it?!\n\nJENNA\nToilet brush.\n\nJERRY\nToilet brush, oh (he pulls a 'Damn,\nshoulda guessed!' face). Alright, I\n\ncan replace that.\n\nJENNA\nYou wanna order dinner?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Let's uh, go to your place. Because\nI, threw out all my dishes.\n\n(Eighty-sixth Street)\n\nElaine strides along the sidewalk looking very blue-collar in\noveralls and cap,\n\ngrimy face, etc. She has some old carpet slung over one shoulder\nand some paint\n\ncans in her hand. A jackhammer can be heard. As she walks along,\nshe passes\n\nGeorge who is holding the jackhammer. She nods acknowledgment\nand he touches the\n\npeak of his hardhat. George gives the pothole a burst from the\njackhammer.\n\n(Street)\n\nKramer struggles to lift a forty-gallon drum into the boot of\nhis car. He\n\neventually heaves it in.\n\n(Jenna's Apartment)\n\nJerry and Jenna, sitting on the couch, eating and conversing\n(looks like Chinese\n\nfood).\n\nJERRY\nThat's true.\n\nJENNA\nMm.\n\nJERRY\nBut, I'll tell you this much. I am never\ngoing to let some silly hygienic\n\nmishap get in the way of, what could be, a meaningful, long-lasting\n\nrelationship.\n\n(Eighty-sixth Street)\n\nGeorge is giving the street a long burst from the jackhammer.\nSuddenly, there is\n\na clang. George stops hammering, and listens. There is a deep\nrumbling sound,\n\nfrom beneath his feet, which seems to be getting louder. He looks\naround for the\n\nsource of the noise.\n\n(Jenna's Apartment)\n\nJenna and Jerry are still eating on the couch. The rumbling noise\ncan be heard,\n\nthough not so loud as outside. Then, in the bathroom, the toilet\nstarts to\n\nrattle.\n\nJENNA\nDo you hear something?\n\nThey both listen intently. The rumble continues and, in the bathroom,\nthe toilet\n\nrattles again, the cistern shaking.\n\nJERRY\nI don't know what that could be.\n\nJenna gets up and goes to the bathroom door.\n\n(Eighty-sixth Street)\n\nThere is a rending sound, and a huge jet of water erupts from\nthe ground right\n\nin front of George, where he was hammering. There is a shot from\nabove the\n\nrising column of water. On the top rises George's keyring.\n\nHEAD\nHoly cow!\n\nThe plume of water rises high above George, who can be seen looking\nup at the\n\nheight of it.\n\n(Jenna's Apartment)\n\nIn the bathroom, Jenna is peering curiously at her rattling toilet,\nwondering\n\nwhat's wrong. She leans toward the bowl. Jerry is in the living\nroom, still\n\ntalking to her.\n\nJERRY\nAnyway, I'm a new man, and I'm looking\ntowards the future. Clean, dirty,\n\nwhatever.\n\nThere is the sound of a wet explosion and splashing water, followed\nby Jenna\n\nscreaming in the bathroom. Jerry leaps to his feet and rushes\nto see what has\n\nhappened.\n\nJerry enters the bathroom and sees Jenna. Only her forearm is\nvisible to us, but\n\nit's enough for us to know that she is wringing wet as the result\nof a violent\n\neruption from the toilet bowl.\n\nJerry's face registers his obvious distaste. He shrugs, sorry.\n\nJERRY\nHoly cow! Have a nice life.\n\nHe closes the bathroom door as he leaves.\n\n(Jerry's Car)\n\nElaine driving. The passenger seats are piled with the garbage\nfrom the basement\n\n- old carpets, bits of timber, boxes, etc. An external shot of\nthe car reveals\n\nshe is driving on Kramer's section of road, as the black-painted\nlane markers\n\ncan be seen.\n\nELAINE\nHey, look at this. Wide lanes. This\nis so luxurious. Woo, yeah.\n\nWe see the Saab weave across the extra wide lanes. From the boot\nfalls a\n\nbattered sewing machine. It sits in the middle of the carriageway.\n\n(Arthur Berkhardt Expressway)\n\nKramer is manhandling the forty gallon drum out of his boot.\nHe struggles to\n\nheave it clear, and then he drops it. The drum falls onto its\nside, and the lid\n\ncomes off, spilling the contents across the road.\n\nKRAMER\nBugger!\n\n(Newman's Truck)\n\nNewman is singing as he drives. Beside him are a stack of boxes,\nmarked 'Fresh\n\nFish'.\n\nNEWMAN\n(sings) You're once. Twice. Three times\na lady.\n\nThere's a loud crash as the truck runs over the sewing machine.\nTyres squeal as\n\nNewman regains control.\n\nNEWMAN\nWhat the hell was that?\n\nThe truck is travelling along with the sewing machine caught\non the front axle.\n\nAs it scrapes along the road, it leaves a huge trail of sparks\nbehind.\n\n(Arthur Berkhardt Expressway)\n\nKramer rights the empty drum and does a double-take as he notices\nthe warning\n\nlabels on the side - 'Paint Thinner' 'Highly Flammable'.\n\nKRAMER\nDouble bugger!\n\n(Newman's Truck)\n\nNewman still singing, although the grinding sound of the sewing\nmachine is\n\nalmost drowning out his voice. The sewing machine is still producing\na shower of\n\nsparks under the truck.\n\nNEWMAN\n(sings) Yes, you're once. Twice. Three\ntimes...\n\nSuddenly, the truck clearly reaches the pool of thinner and the\nsparks ignite\n\nit. Flames shoot up around the truck, and are reflected in the\nwindows. Newman\n\nbegins screaming and yelling in the midst of the inferno.\n\nNEWMAN\nAaah! Aaagh! Aah-aah. Oh, oh the humanity!\nAaagh!\n\n(Arthur Berkhardt Expressway)\n\nKramer finally manages to get the drum back into his boot and\nslams the lid\n\ndown. Then he sees Newman staggering along the road. Newman is\nwalking stiffly,\n\nand is singed all over, with blackened patches on his hair and\nclothing. He's\n\nstaring ahead, clearly in such a state of shock that he's uncomprehending\nof his\n\nsurroundings.\n\nKRAMER\nHey buddy. What're you doing out here?\n\nNewman continues to walk, oblivious of Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nMan, did you see that fireball? Woo-hoo-hoo,\nhoo-hoo.\n\nNewman still doesn't respond. In the distance the sound of sirens\ncan be heard.\n\nKramer hears them, looks worried, and moves toward the car.\n\nKRAMER\nHey, I gotta skedaddle. You wanna lift?\n\nKramer has the driver's door open and is impatient to be off.\nThe sirens\n\ncontinue.\n\nKRAMER\nNewman! Newman!!\n\nKramer gets in the car and leans out of the window to call to\nNewman.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'll meet you at the coffee shop.\n\nHe starts the car, and leaves with a squeal of protesting tyres.\nNewman\n\ncontinues his walk.\n\nAs the Castle Rock logo comes up, Newman can be heard screaming\n'Aargh!'.\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-English-Patient.html", "text": "THE ENGLISH PATIENT\n\nWritten by\n\nSteve Koren\n\n(Subway Train)\n\nJerry and Elaine sit side by side on a subway train.

Mr Peanut?\n\nJerry opens the door as George looks at him.\n\nGEORGE\n(pointedly) She could do a lot worse\nthan Mr Peanut, my friend.\n\nGeorge leaves, followed by Jerry.\n\n(Outside Movie Theatre)\n\nElaine and her latest boyfriend are standing in line.\n\nBLAINE\nSo, what d'you wanna see?\n\nELAINE\n(indicating a movie poster) What about\nSack Lunch?\n\nBLAINE\n(indicating another poster) How about\nThe English Patient? It's up\n\nfor all those Oscars.\n\nElaine pulls a face, like she's really not interested in seeing\nBlaine's\n\nchoice.\n\nELAINE\nOh, c'mon Blaine. I mean, look at the\nposter for Sack Lunch.\n\nBLAINE\nIt's a family in a brown paper bag.\n\nELAINE\n(laughing) Don't you wanna know how\nthey got in there?\n\nBLAINE\nNo.\n\nElaine and Blaine reach the front of the queue, just as the guy\nin the ticket\n\nbooth puts a sign up on the window saying 'Sack Lunch Sold Out'.\n\nELAINE\n(disappointment) Aww. Sold out.\n\nBLAINE\n(to the booth guy) Oh, two for The English\nPatient.\n\nElaine continues to study the Sack Lunch poster, while Blaine\nbuys tickets.\n\nELAINE\nSo d'you think they got shrunk down,\nor is it just a giant sack?\n\n(Monk's)\n\nDanielle, the beautiful woman, is paying at the register.

(vehement) God, that movie stunk!\n\nBLAINE\nI kinda liked it.\n\nELAINE\n(firm) No you didn't.\n\nFrom the exit emerge several of Elaine's friends, who hurry over\nto see her.\n\nThey're all holding tissues.\n\nCAROL\nElaine.

Son, this\nis the most wonderful and\n\nthoughtful thing you've ever done for me.\n\nJERRY\nYou know, I bought you a Cadillac. Twice.\n\nIn through the door comes a really old guy.

He's eighty years old, but strong as an ox. (pointing)\nWatch\n\nthis.\n\nIzzy picks up a set of weights and lifts them chest high.\n\nMORTY\nSee that? You couldn't do that.\n\nJERRY\nI could, but I choose not to.\n\nAnother guy enters behind the Seinfelds. He walks over to an\nexercise bike\n\nand climbs aboard.\n\nSID\nHey Morty. (nodding toward Jerry) Who's\nthis?\n\nMORTY\nThis is my son Jerry, from New York.\n(leaning toward Sid) He thinks he\n\ncan lift more than Izzy.\n\nJERRY\n(protesting) I..I didn't say that.\n\nSID\n(calling over) Hey, Izzy, this kid says\nhe can lift more than you can.\n\nIzzy looks over. He releases his grip on the weights and they\ndrop to the\n\nfloor with a clunk.\n\nIZZY\nYour kid's pretty funny, Morty. Should\nbe a comedian.\n\nJERRY\n(smiles) Actually, I am a comedian.\n\nSID\nThat's not so funny.\n\nIZZY\n(challenging) Think you're better than\nme, huh?\n\nMORTY\nIzzy used to work out with Charles Atlas\nin the fifties.\n\nJERRY\n(jocular) Eighteen-fifties?\n\nIZZY\nYeah, that's it. It's go time. (points\nto the weights he put down)\n\nLet's see you lift that.\n\nJERRY\n(reluctant) Mr Mandelbaum, I...\n\nIZZY\nC'mon, c'mon. Pump it!\n\nJERRY\n(consenting) Alright.\n\nIZZY\nYeah, wrong attitude. you're not bringing\nthat trash into my house.\n\nJerry walks over and picks the weights up easily.\n\nJERRY\nThere. Alright?\n\nIZZY\nStep aside, stringbean.\n\nJerry puts down the weights, and rolls them out of the way. Izzy\nsteps in\n\nfront of a much, much, more substantial set of weights.\n\nIZZY\nI'll show you. We're gonna take it up\na notch.\n\nIzzy bends and takes hold of the bar. The second he puts any\neffort into the\n\nlift, there is a loud crunching noise and a pained look of horror\ncomes to\n\nhis face.\n\nIZZY\n(agonised) Ah! My back. Ugh.\n\nIzzy keeps hold of the bar as he slowly keels over forwards.\nThe circular\n\nweights roll in front of him and Izzy gently falls forward until\nhe's face\n\ndown on the floor.\n\nIZZY\n(drawn out) Aaaahh.\n\nJerry, Morty and Sid, look on, concerned.\n\nSID\nSomebody, call an ambulance.\n\nMORTY\n(unpanicked) There's already an ambulance\nhere for Mrs Glickman.\n\nThere's room for one more.\n\n(Outside Movie Theatre)\n\nElaine is at the same movie theatre as before,but alone this\ntime.

My face!\n\nAt another table, another customer digs his fork in, and is rewarded\nwith a\n\nfaceful of blistering filling.\n\nNeil sticks his fork into his crepe and recoils as hot liquid\njets into his\n\nface.\n\nDANIELLE\n(concerned cry) Neil!\n\nThe restaurant is in chaos as yells of pain come from all sides.\nElaine,\n\nJerry and Kramer look round at the commotion.\n\nJERRY\nWhy are the crepes spraying?\n\nKRAMER\n(looks over at the three guys) The Dominicans\nare rolling them too\n\ntight.

I\n\nadmire your skills, Mr Peanut.\n\nDanielle brings back the jug.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, Danielle, (digs in his pocket)\nwe should get going.

He stands up and leaves,\nclosing\n\nthe door behind him. There is a brief pause, then the door opens\na few inches\n\nand George's hand reaches back inside the room, takes hold of\nthe IV line and\n\ntugs it sharply, breaking it free of the IV bag,and drops it.\nThen the hand\n\nis withdrawn and the door closes again.\n\n(Plane)\n\nElaine sits in an aisle seat in a 747, reading a Let's Go Tunisia\nbook.

(Continue to struggle)\n\nJERRY\nSo Whatley sayd to me, \"Hey, I can make\nCatholic jokes, I used to be Catholic.\"\n\nELAINE\nYou see, I don't think it is a Catholic\njoke. I think it's more of a Raquel\nWelch joke. What was it? No, I said\nhand me the buoys. (Laughing) Bouys!\n\nJERRY\nDon't you see what Whatley is after?\nTotal joke telling immunity. He's already\ngot the two big religions covered, if\nhe ever gets Polish citizenship there'll\nbe no stopping him.\n\nELAINE\nSo what're you gonna do?\n\nJERRY\nI think this Father Curtis might be\nvery interested to hear what Whatley\nhas the Pope doing with Raquel Welch.\n\nELAINE\n(Calling on phone) Hey, Beth, Arnie,\nit's Elaine. Um, thought you guys might\nwanna have lunch. Gimme a call.

We wanted to\nsay goodbye, I was just getting out\nof the shower, and yada yada yada--\n\nGEORGE\nAll right, enough! Enough! From now\non, no more yada yada's.

You told me that\nyou were engaged. What was the rest\nof that? (Pause)\n\nJERRY\nExcuse me, Mother?\n\nNUN\nSister.\n\nJERRY\nSister, right. Do you know when Father\nCurtis has office hours?\n\nNUN\nWell not until tomorrow.\n\nJERRY\nHmm, I really need to speak with him.\n\nFATHER\nThat's a kneeler.\n\nJERRY\nOh. (Adjusts accordingly)\n\nFATHER\nTell me your sins, my son.\n\nJERRY\nWell I should tell you that I'm Jewish.\n\nFATHER\nThat's no sin.\n\nJERRY\nOh good. Anyway, I wanted to talk to\nyou about Dr. Whatley. I have a suspicion\nthat he's converted to Judaism just\nfor the jokes.\n\nFATHER\nAnd this offends you as a Jewish person.\n\nJERRY\nNo, it offends me as a comedian. And\nit'll interest you that he's also telling\nCatholic jokes.\n\nFATHER\nWell.\n\nJERRY\nAnd they're old jokes. I mean, the Pope\nand Raquel Welch in a lifeboat.\n\nFATHER\nI haven't heard that one.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm sure you have. They're out on\nthe ocean and, yada yada yada, and she\nsays, \"Those aren't buoys.\" (Father\nstarts laughing) Father...\n\nFATHER\nOne second... Well, if it would make\nyou feel better I could speak to Dr.\nWhatley. I have to go back and have\na wisdom teeth removed.\n\nJERRY\nYou know the difference between a dentist\nand a sadist don't you?\n\nFATHER\nUm...\n\nJERRY\nNewer magazines.\n\nFATHER\nNow if you'll excuse me.

How am I gonna tell Beth?\n\nELAINE\nLook, I'll go down and talk to this\nadoption guy and I'll make sure that\nit all gets worked out.\n\nARNIE\nAll right, just don't screw it up this\ntime! (He exits)\n\nELAINE\nSee, again with the yelling. Not a fan\nof the yelling.\n\nJERRY\n(In pain) Oh, are you about done?\n\nTIM\nI'm just getting warmed up.

So little people can\nhave not little people children?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, and vice versa. Mother Nature's\na mad scientist, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nSo you won't believe what happened with\nWhatley today. It got back to hime that\nI made this little dentist joke and\nhe got all offended. Those people can\nbe so touchy.\n\nKRAMER\nThose people, listen to yourself.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nYou think that dentists are so different\nfrom me and you? They came to this country\njust like everybody else, in search\nof a dream.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, he's just a dentist.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, and you're an anti-dentite.\n\nJERRY\nI am not an anti-dentite!\n\nKRAMER\nYou're a rabid anti-dentite!

You\nneed to forget about Arnie. The important\nthing is you're moving on.\n\nBETH\nWhy would Elaine do that to me?\n\nJERRY\nForget about Elaine. Let's just focus\non us. Come on, big hug.

Excuse me, I can't take this.\n(She exits quickly)\n\nJERRY\nHi, Mr. Abbott.\n\nMR. ABBOTT\nThat's Dr. Abbott, D.D.S. Tim Whatley\nwas one of my students. And if this\nwasn't my son's wedding day, I'd knock\nyou teeth out you anti-dentite bastard.\n\nBETH\nWhat was that all about?\n\nJERRY\nOh, I said something about dentists\nand it got blown all out of proportion.\n\nBETH\nHey, what do you call a doctor who fails\nout of med school?\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nBETH\nA dentist. (They laugh)\n\nJERRY\nThat's a good one. Dentists.\n\nBETH\nYeah, who needs 'em? Not to mention\nthe Blacks and the Jews.

Elaine is examining\nsome sort of\n\nfootwear, while behind the counter Gladys is on the phone.\n\nELAINE\nUh, excuse me.\n\nGLADYS\nBe with you in a minute. (turns her\nback to Elaine and continues into\n\nphone) No, you shoulda come last night, it was fun.\n\nELAINE\nUhm, I just have a question.\n\nGLADYS\n(into phone) I know, the margaritas\nin that place are so strong.\n\nELAINE\n(walks up to counter) Helloo? I'd like\nto buy these hirachis.\n\nGLADYS\n(into phone) So? What else is goin'\non?\n\nELAINE\n(shouts) HEY!!\n\nGLADYS\nListen, I'll call you back. (to Elaine)\nYes? What can I do for you?\n\nELAINE\n(tosses the hirachis onto the counter)\nNothing. You, just lost a\n\ncustomer.\n\nElaine stalks to the door, but ruins her exit by trying to push\nopen a door she\n\nshould pull.\n\n(Valerie's Apartment)\n\nJerry, pulling on his jacket, and Valerie preparing to leave.\n\nVALERIE\nReady to go? I don't wanna miss the\npreviews.\n\nJERRY\nMe neither. I love the previews. In\nfact I enjoy being in the theatre cut\n\nup(?). Last week after a preview, I yelled out 'Must miss'.\n\nVALERIE\nI think that I was in that theatre.\nThat, that was really funny.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it got a good laugh. Let me just\ncheck my messages before we go.\n\nValerie heads toward the door. Jerry sits by the phone, lifts\nthe receiver and\n\nprepares to dial. As he does so, he notices button '07' on the\nspeed-dial is\n\nmarked 'JERRY'. He looks surprised and pleased together.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry and George stood talking.\n\nGEORGE\nSo you're on the speed dial?\n\nJERRY\nAfter two dates!\n\nGEORGE\nWhat number?\n\nJERRY\nSeven.\n\nGEORGE\nWha! You know, it's a pain to change\nthat. You gotta lift up that\n\nplastic thing with a pen.\n\nThe door opens and Kramer enters. He's carrying a couple of folding\nchairs in\n\neach hand.\n\nKRAMER\nUh, hey buddy.\n\nJERRY\nHey.\n\nKramer carries the chairs across the room.\n\nKRAMER\nIt all right if I keep these here for\na while? I'm having a New Year's Eve\n\nparty.\n\nJERRY\nYou're gonna keep these here for eight\nmonths?!\n\nKramer props the chairs up against a wall.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, Jerry. New Year's Eve nineteen ninety-nine.\nThe millennium. I told\n\nyou about that.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, you're gonna leave these chairs\nhere for two and a half years?!\n\nKRAMER\nYou're not gonna see 'em. I got a case\nof party poppers I'm gonna keep\n\nin front of 'em.\n\nKramer exits. George has taken one of the chairs, unfolded it,\nand is sat with\n\nhis feet up on the back of the couch, hands behind his head.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, so get this. I get a call this\nmorning from one of the Mets front\n\noffice guys. They wanna take me out to lunch.\n\nJERRY\nWhat for?\n\nGEORGE\n(smiling) I'm on a winning ball club,\nJerry. They probably wanna pick my\n\nbrains.\n\nJERRY\nReally, why d'you think they're taking\nyou out to lunch?\n\nGEORGE\n(thoughtful) I have no idea.\n\nElaine enters, throws her bag on the table. She's in a bad mood.\n\nELAINE\nAlright, I have had it with those Mayans.\n\nJERRY\nI don't mind the Mayans.\n\nElaine gets another of the folding chairs.\n\nELAINE\n(unfolding chair) You know that store,\nPutumayo? (sits) I was trying to\n\nbuy these hirachis, right, and the saleswoman just completely\nignored me.\n\nKramer enters carrying more chairs.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat, we talking hirachis? I know a\ngreat store for hirachis.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, not Putumayo.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no. Cinqo de Mayo. (leaving) Yeah,\nMarcellino, he turned me on to\n\nit, and he's one sixty-fourth Mayan.\n\nGEORGE\n(slightly worried) You know, I'm starting\nto get a little nervous about\n\nthis lunch.\n\nELAINE\nWhat'd you have?\n\nKramer enters again. This time he has a large bunch of multi-coloured\nballoons\n\non ribbons. He ties the bunch to Elaine's chair.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, I'm gonna keep these here too,\nhuh? They'll be alright. (begins to\n\nleave)\n\nJERRY\nKramer, these balloons aren't gonna\nstay filled till New Year's!\n\nKRAMER\n(at the door) Well, those aren't for\nNew Year's. Those are my everyday\n\nballoons.\n\n(Monk's)\n\nGeorge sits in a booth. Opposite him are two guys from the Mets.\n\nMINKLER\nGeorge, we'll be blunt. The Mets need\nsomebody to head up scouting, and\n\nwe think that someone might be you.\n\nGEORGE\n(surprise) Head of scouting?\n\nMOONEY\nInterested?\n\nGEORGE\n(playing it cool) I'm still here.\n\nMINKLER\nNow, unfortunately, league rules prevent\nus from making you an offer\n\nwhile you're still under contract.\n\nMOONEY\nYou understand what we're talking about?\n\nGEORGE\nSo you're talking...\n\nMINKLER\nNo, no.\n\nMOONEY\nWe're *not* talking. We're just, talking.\n\nGEORGE\nSo, you need me to get fired.\n\nMINKLER\nWe didn't say that.\n\nMOONEY\nWe couldn't say that, because even if\nwe did...\n\nMINKLER\n...we couldn't say that we said it.\n\nMOONEY\nYou see what we're saying?\n\nGEORGE\n(jokingly) You are still paying for\nthis lunch?\n\nMINKLER\n(serious) We didn't say that.\n\n(Valerie's Apartment)\n\nValerie is sitting by her phone, having just finished some adjustment.\nJerry\n\narrives, obviously a little rushed.\n\nJERRY\nHi. Sorry I'm late. There's a lotta\nchairs and balloons in my apartment.\n\nHow 'bout I make it up to you with dinner?\n\nVALERIE\n(pointedly) Someplace nice this time?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, I'm sorry about that Mongolian\nbarbecue last night. I'd heard good\n\nthings.\n\nVALERIE\n(rising) I don't know, got a two in\nZagat's.\n\nValerie rises and leaves the room. As she goes, Jerry sits beside\nthe phone.\n\nJERRY\nLemme just check my messages. (to himself)\nMaybe a nicer girl called.\n\nJerry presses the '07' button, without looking.\n\nVOICE\nHello?\n\nJERRY\nHello? Who's this?\n\nVOICE\nJane. What number did you dial?\n\nHe looks down at the speed-dial and sees button '07' now marked\n'JANE', and his\n\nname now next to '09'.\n\nJERRY\nSeven?\n\n(Putumayo)\n\nGladys is behind the counter. Through the window, Elaine can\nbe seen outside.\n\nElaine bangs on the window to get Gladys' attention.\n\nELAINE\nHey! See these? (raises her foot so\nher new hirachis can be seen) Cinqo\n\nde Mayo! Sales commission, bye-bye-o! (waves)\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry and Kramer sit at the table. Jerry reading a newspaper,\nKramer with a\n\nclipboard. George is heard outside the door.\n\nGEORGE\n(singing) Meet the Mets...\n\nGeorge enters, looking pleased with himself.\n\nGEORGE\n...meet the Mets. Come on in and greet\nthe Mets.\n\nJERRY\nGood meeting?\n\nGEORGE\nThere was no meeting. (gets one of the\nfolding chairs) But it was quite\n\na meeting. You are looking at the next director of Mets scouting.\nThe only thing\n\nis, I have to get fired from the Yankees first.\n\nJERRY\nYou can do that.\n\nGEORGE\nOf course. But I really wanna leave\nmy mark this time, you know, uh. I\n\nwanna walk away from the Yankees with people saying 'Wow! Now\nthat guy got\n\ncanned!'\n\nJERRY\nSo you want to go out in a final blaze\nof incompetence?\n\nGEORGE\nEhh. (nostalgic) Remember that summer\nat Dairy Queen where I cooled my\n\nfeet in the soft-serve machine?\n\nKRAMER\nYou think people will still be using\nnapkins in the year two-thousand?\n\nOr is this mouth-vacuum thing for real?\n\nJerry and George give Kramer a long look. Then break to continue\ntheir own\n\nconversation.\n\nJERRY\nSo, George...\n\nGEORGE\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\n(rising) I had like a so-so date with\nValerie, now I'm number nine on the\n\nspeed-dial.\n\nJerry moves to the kitchen, with George following.\n\nGEORGE\nSo?\n\nJERRY\nSo? I used to be seven. I dropped two\nspots.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat, she's ranking you?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, this speed-dial's like a relationship\nbarometer.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat is a barometer exactly?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's pronounced thermometer.\n\nJerry gives another look to Kramer. George raises his eyes. Kramer\nrises and\n\ncomes over to the guys.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, in the year two-thousand,\nwe'll all be on speed-dial. You'll\n\njust have to think of a person, they'll be talking to you. It'll\nbe like, wup\n\n(judders and puts his hands to his temples, as if receiving a\ncall on a 'mental\n\nphone') getting a call here.\n\nKRAMER\n(to Jerry and George) Hey, it's Newman.\n(to 'mental phone') Hey, how you\n\ndoing, Newman?\n\nJerry begins mouthing 'I'm not here' and making gestures indicating\nhe doesn't\n\nwant to talk to Newman.\n\nKRAMER\n(to 'mental phone') Oh, you wanna talk\nto Jerry?\n\nKramer leans toward Jerry, as if to allow him to use the 'mental\nphone'. Jerry\n\nthrows his arms up in exasperation.\n\n(Valerie's Apartment)\n\nJerry has just arrived and has presented Valerie with a floral\nbouquet.\n\nVALERIE\n(pleased) Oh, flowers. You didn't have\nto do that. I mean, the dinner,\n\nand the play, and the hansom cab ride.\n\nJERRY\nWell, I just wanted to... (breaks off)\nYou forgot the gift certificate to\n\nBarnes and Noble.\n\nVALERIE\nOh.\n\nJERRY\n(resumes) ...you know, make a good impression.\n\nVALERIE\nI'm gonna go put these in some water.\n\nJERRY\nI like the way you think.\n\nValerie leaves to the kitchen(?). The moment she's gone, Jerry\nrushes over to\n\nthe phone. He picks it up to read the list of names on the speed-dial,\nand finds\n\nhimself promoted to the '01' button.\n\nJERRY\nOh my God! Number one!! Seinfeld, you\nmagnificent bastard!\n\n(Yankees Boardroom(?))\n\nWilhelm and some others are sitting around the big table. George\nis sitting\n\ndown. He's wearing an old-fashioned baseball jersey. On the table\nin front of\n\nhim, he places a large paper bag.\n\nGEORGE\nSorry I'm late, but look what I found\nin the Yankee Hall of Pride\n\ndisplay case.\n\nWILHELM\nIsn't that Babe Ruth's uniform?\n\nGEORGE\nIs it? (reaches into bag)\n\nWilhelm looks disturbed by George's actions.\n\nGEORGE\nHuh, strawberries, anyone? (eats a strawberry)\nAh, that's good. Ooh,\n\njuicy this time of year.\n\nHe wipes strawberry juice from his fingers onto Babe Ruth's jersey.\n\nGEORGE\nGotta get the good ones.\n\nHe fetches another over-ripe strawberry from the bag, and drops\nit onto the\n\nfront of the jersey leaving a pulpy stain.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, that's bad. That's bad.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nKramer sits at the table with his clipboard.\n\nKRAMER\nSo Jerry, my millennium party's really\ncoming together. Will people be\n\nable to breathe underwater in the year two-thousand?\n\nJERRY\nSome of us.\n\nKRAMER\n(crumpling a piece of paper) I don't\nwanna exclude anybody.\n\nElaine enters. She is festooned with Mayan goods. All her clothes,\nbag,\n\nearrings, everything.\n\nJERRY\nHola.\n\nELAINE\nShove it!\n\nJERRY\nWhat is all this?\n\nELAINE\nI got all this junk at Cinqo de Mayo,\nbecause I was trying to show\n\nPutumayo how much business they'd lost. I mean, I been dancing\n(demonstrates\n\ndance) and strutting in front of their store for two days.\n\nJERRY\nAh, no wonder we're getting so much\nrain.\n\nKRAMER\nElaine, I'm having a millennium party,\nso save the date.\n\nELAINE\nHey, you know what? Newman sent me an\ninvitation already, to his party.\n\nElaine fishes in her bag for the invite.\n\nKRAMER\nNewman?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nElaine hands her invite to Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\n(reads) Come celebrate the millennium,\nwith Newmanniun. Newman!\n\n(Jerry's Car)\n\nJerry has stopped to pick someone up. A woman climbs into the\npassenger side.\n\nJERRY\nHi Valerie.\n\nThe woman turns to face him.\n\nJERRY\nYou're not Valerie.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nI'm her step-mother. Drive.\n\nJerry does as he's told and sets off down the street.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nIt's taken me thirteen years to climb\nup to the top of that\n\nspeed-dial, and I don't intend to lose my spot to you.\n\nJERRY\nBut, I never...\n\nMRS HAMILTON\n(threatening) You just stay away from\nthat phone.\n\n(Steinbrenner's Office)\n\nSteinbrenner behind his desk. George crosses the floor from the\ndoor.\n\nGEORGE\nYou wanted to see me, sir?\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nI heard about what happened at the meeting\nthis morning...\n\nGeorge looks quietly pleased at his imminent dismissal.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, yes. I already packed up my desk,\nsir. I can be outta here in an\n\nhour.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\n...and I have to tell you, it's exactly\nwhat this organisation\n\nneeded.\n\nGeorge looks stunned as he realises he's not going to be fired.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nWe wanna look to the future, we gotta\ntear down the past. Babe\n\nRuth was nothing more than a fat old man, with little-girl legs.\nAnd here's\n\nsomething I just found out recently. He wasn't really a sultan.\nAh, what d'you\n\nmake of that? Hey, check this out. (he stands to reveal he's\nwearing baseball\n\npants) Lou Gehrig's pants. Not a bad fit. (a thought occurs)\nHey, you don't\n\nthink that nerve disease of his was contagious, do you? Uh, I\nbetter take 'em\n\noff. I'm too important to this team. (removes the pants to reveal\nhis boxers)\n\nBig Stein can't be flopping and twitching.\n\nGeorge is further discomfited by the sight of Steinbrenner in\nhis underwear.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nHey, how 'bout some lunch. What're you\ngoing for?\n\n(Valerie's Apartment)\n\nJerry and Valerie are sitting on the couch, eating popcorn.\n\nJERRY\nYou know uh, Valerie, I uh, couldn't\nhelp but notice that I'm on your\n\nspeed-dial.\n\nVALERIE\nYou deserve it.\n\nJERRY\nBut I can't help thinking that maybe\nthere's someone in your life who\n\ndeserves it more. Someone you've known, you know, more than a\nweek.\n\nVALERIE\nMy stepmother got to you, didn't she?\n\nJERRY\nWhat? No.\n\nVALERIE\nUuh, I can't believe she did this again.\nThat's it! She's off the\n\nspeed-dial completely!\n\nValerie gets up, stalks to the phone and sets about rejigging\nher speed-dial.\n\nJERRY\nYikes!\n\n(Newman's Apartment)\n\nNewman sits at the table. Kramer has arrived and is holding his\ninvitation.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I just got your invitation to\nthe Newmanniun party.\n\nNEWMAN\nYou just got it? Damn, the mail is slow.\n\nKRAMER\n(getting worked up) You knew I was having\na millennium party, but you\n\njust had to throw yours on the same day!\n\nNEWMAN\nI have done nothing unethical.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, well you're gonna have to cancel\nit, because I've told everybody\n\nabout my party.\n\nNEWMAN\nCancel! (jumps to feet) Think again,\nlongshanks! I started planning this\n\nin nineteen seventy-eight. I put a deposit down on that revolving\nrestaurant\n\nthat overlooks Times Square, and I booked Christopher Cross.\n\nKRAMER\n(worked up) Well, what am I gonna do?\nI got over two hundred folding\n\nchairs, and quite a bit of ice.\n\nNEWMAN\n(thoughtful) What kind?\n\nKRAMER\nCubed.\n\nNEWMAN\nThat's good stuff, and you can never\nhave too much ice. Alright, I'll\n\ntell you what I'll do. You can co-host the party with me, under\none condition.\n\nNo Jerry. Jerry is not invited.\n\nKRAMER\nI gotta invite Jerry. He's my buddy.\n\nNEWMAN\nThat he may be. But he's outta my life,\nstarting in the year\n\ntwo-thousand. For me, the next millennium must be, Jerry-free!\n\n(Cab)\n\nJerry and George in the back of a taxi.\n\nJERRY\nHow could they not fire you?\n\nGEORGE\nNever thought I'd fail at failing.\n\nJERRY\nAw, come on there now.\n\nGEORGE\n(depressed) Feel like I can't do anything\nwrong.\n\nJERRY\nNonsense. You do everything wrong.\n\nGEORGE\n(hopeful) Everything?\n\nJERRY\nEverything.\n\nGEORGE\nYou really think so?\n\nJERRY\nAbsolutely. I have no confidence in\nyou.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright. I guess I just have to pick\nmyself up, dust myself off, and\n\nthrow myself right back down again!\n\nJERRY\nThat's the spirit. You suck!\n\nGEORGE\n(pleased) I know.\n\n(Cinqo De Mayo)\n\nElaine is talking with the saleswoman.\n\nELAINE\nNo, no, no no, listen to me. I work\nin fashion. Together, we can drive\n\nPutumayo outta business and make Cinqo de Mayo numero uno...\nde Mayo.\n\nGladys comes out behind the counter.\n\nGLADYS\nDo you need some help with something?\n\nELAINE\n(puzzled) You? What're you doing here?\n\nGLADYS\nI own this store.\n\nELAINE\nNo you don't. You own Putumayo. Unless\nyou own both stores. (laughs\n\nnervously)\n\nGLADYS\nI'm Gladys Mayo.\n\nRealisation dawns for Elaine. She begins to leave, slowly.\n\nELAINE\nAh, this really sticks in my craw.\n\n(Mrs Hamilton's Apartment)\n\nJerry and Mrs Hamilton sitting on the couch. Mrs Hamilton is\npouring out a\n\ncouple of glasses of wine.\n\nJERRY\nWell, Mrs Hamilton, it's certainly nice\nthat you and Valerie patched\n\nthings up, so we could all get together like this. Where is Valerie?\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nI'm sure she'll be along. (handing over\na glass) Have some wine,\n\nJerome.\n\nJERRY\nOkay.\n\nMrs Hamilton leans back on the couch beside Jerry. She's sitting\nuncomfortably\n\nclose to Jerry, and as she speaks she puts an arm along the top\nof the couch\n\nbehind Jerry. (To cut it short, this scene plays pretty close\nto the early\n\nDustin Hoffman/Anne Bancroft scenes in The Graduate.)\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nYou know Jerome, I can understand what\nValerie sees in you. So\n\nattractive, so strong, so comedic.\n\nJERRY\nUh, good.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nJerome, I have a deliciously naughty\nidea.\n\nJERRY\n(nervous) What?\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nWhy don't I put you on my speed-dial?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know, Mrs Hamilton. That doesn't\nsound...\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nDon't be such a child, Jerome. How's\nnumber three sound?\n\nJerry leaps to his feet as Mrs Hamilton goes for her phone.\n\nJERRY\nValerie's not coming over, is she?\n\nMrs Hamilton is programming her phone.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nSeven, four...\n\nJERRY\nNo...\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nTwo...\n\nJERRY\nStop, stop. This isn't right. What about\nValerie?\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nI won't tell if you don't.\n\nJERRY\n(leaving hurriedly) Wuhh...\n\n(Kramer's Apartment)\n\nKramer is asleep, but his sleep is fitful. He tosses and turns.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry... Newman... Two-thousand...\n\nKramer suddenly sits bolt upright.\n\nKRAMER\n(yells) Newmanniun!!\n\nHe reaches over to his bedside table and picks up a photograph.\nIt's of himself\n\nand Jerry at a previous party, looking happy together.\n\nKRAMER\n(whimper) Jerry?\n\nKramer clutches the photo to his chest, and flops back onto the\nmattress.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJerry sits on his couch, watching baseball on TV. Steve Koren\nis commentating.\n\nKOREN\nAlright, Yankees, two. Orioles, nothing.\nWait a minute! A short\n\nstocky bald man is streaking across the field.\n\nJERRY\nOh my God, George!\n\nKOREN\nCheck that. He's not streaking. He's\nwearing a flesh-tone\n\nbody-stocking. Apparently, he's a bit bashful, and oddly, no-one\nseems upset.\n\nKramer enters.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, look, it's George.\n\nKOREN\nEveryone loves him.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, yeah, I know. (he clicks off the\nTV) Listen, Jerry, I can't let\n\nyou come to my New Year's party.\n\nJERRY\n(neutral) Fine.\n\nKRAMER\n(agitated) I mean, it's killing me!\nNewman's got the jump on the\n\ninvites, and will crush me if I try to go it alone!\n\nJERRY\n(neutral) No problem.\n\nKRAMER\n(swung by Jerry's argument) You're right.\nI won't do it without you. I\n\nfeel so ashamed I even thought of it, huh.\n\nElaine enters.\n\nKRAMER\n(pleading) Elaine, you can't go to Newman's\nNewmanniun.\n\nELAINE\n(neutral) Okay.\n\nKRAMER\nNo, no, no. You gotta spend New Year's\nnineteen ninety-nine with me and\n\nJerry.\n\nELAINE\n(neutral) Fine.\n\nKRAMER\n(frustrated shout) Oh come on!!\n\nELAINE\n(neutral) Alright.\n\nKRAMER\n(triumph) Yesss! Alright, so it's you,\nit's me, and it's Jerry, huh.\n\n(claps hands) Yeah, now things are starting to snowball, huh.\nI'll tell Newman I\n\ndon't need him. So, I'll uh, see you two in the twenty-first\ncentury.\n\nKramer heads out the door.\n\nELAINE\n(following Kramer to the door) Okay.\nKramer, Kramer, wait a minute. Do\n\nyou still have that pricing-gun?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nELAINE\nOkay, I need you to help me put Putumayo\noutta business.\n\nKRAMER\nCan do.\n\nKramer leaves to his apartment. Elaine begins to follow.\n\nJERRY\nWhat're you doing with a pricing-gun?\n\nELAINE\nThat place is about to have the sale\nof the century. Nothing over\n\nninety-nine cents.\n\nElaine leaves and shuts the door.\n\nJERRY\n(to himself) Still a rip-off.\n\nThe phone rings. Jerry picks up.\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\nFrom here on, the scene is presented in a split-screen format,\nwith Valerie and\n\nMrs Hamilton in their respective apartments, sharing the screen\nwith Jerry as\n\nappropriate.\n\nVALERIE\nJerry, I was just at my stepmom's house,\nand I saw that you were on her\n\nspeed-dial.\n\nJERRY\nUh, well, she uh, probably just wanted\nto be able to keep tabs on you.\n\nThere is a beep on Jerry's phone as another call comes in.\n\nJERRY\nHold on a second.\n\nJerry clicks the doofer to answer the other call.\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\nMRS HAMILTON\n(seductive) Hi Jerome.\n\nJERRY\nOh, Mrs Hamilton, this is a very bad\ntime. I've got Valerie on the other\n\nline. Just a second.\n\nJerry clicks.\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\nVALERIE\nThat's her on the other line, isn't\nit?\n\nJERRY\nWell...\n\nVALERIE\nTell her I don't want you on her speed-dial.\n\nJERRY\nHang on.\n\nJerry clicks.\n\nJERRY\nShe knows about the speed-dial. Mrs\nHamilton, you gotta get me off this\n\nthing.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nI won't, until she puts me back on hers.\n\nJERRY\nHang on.\n\nJerry clicks.\n\nJERRY\nShe wants to be back on yours.\n\nVALERIE\nFine. But only if you're off hers.\n\nJERRY\nHang on.\n\nJerry clicks.\n\nJERRY\nFine, if I'm off yours.\n\nVALERIE\nNo, still me.\n\nJERRY\nSorry. Hang on.\n\nJerry clicks.\n\nJERRY\nFine, if I'm off yours.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nI won't do it. It's my speed-dial, and\nI don't trust her.\n\nJERRY\nPlease, Mrs Hamilton, this is very awkward\nfor me.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\n(conspiratorial) Alright. I'll hide\nyou in one of the emergency\n\nbuttons.\n\nJERRY\n(hurried) Great, bye.\n\nJerry clicks.\n\nJERRY\nShe said she'll do it.\n\nVALERIE\nGreat.\n\nThere's another beep, as another call comes in.\n\nJERRY\nHang on.\n\nJerry clicks.\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\n(Yankee Stadium)\n\nGeorge is at a public telephone, wearing the flesh-tone body-stocking\nand\n\nlooking thoroughly dejected.\n\nGEORGE\nJerry. I can't get fired.\n\nA passing fan spots him.\n\nFAN\nHey, body-suit man. 's up?\n\nHe slaps palms with George, who doesn't look especially pleased\nby the\n\nattention. The fan points out George to more fans.\n\nFAN\n(pointing) Hey, body-suit man.\n\nThe fans gather round, making positive noises. George looks resigned\nto his\n\nminor celebrity.\n\n(Putumayo)\n\nGladys is behind the counter. Outside the door, Elaine peers\nin for a second\n\nbefore she moves back out of sight. Then, a be-suited Kramer\nis pushed into\n\nsight. He enters the store, smoking a cigar.\n\nKRAMER\nHi, I'm H.E. Pennypacker. I'm a wealthy\nAmerican industrialist uh,\n\nlooking to open a silver mine in the mountains of Peru and uh,\nbefore I invest\n\nmillions in a lucrative mine, I, I'd like to go a little native.\nUh, Get the\n\nfeel of their condiments, of their unmentionables, you know,\nthe real uh,\n\ngritty-gritty.\n\nHe notices a bowl of chips beside the register and helps himself\nto some.\n\nGLADYS\nWell, lemme show you what we have.\n\nKRAMER\nWell uh, I think I can just browse around\non my own.\n\nKRAMER\n(re the chips) Hmm, Macchu Picchu. Are\nthese free?\n\nGLADYS\nYeah.\n\nKRAMER\nHmm-mmm.\n\nKramer strolls over to a rack and grabs a selection of a half-dozen\nitems. He\n\nthen heads for the changing room.\n\nGLADYS\nSome of those are women's clothes.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, not a problem.\n\nHe pulls the curtain shut. The sound of a pricing gun can be\nheard. The clicking\n\ngoes on for a couple of seconds, and then the gun is dropped.\nIt lands by\n\nKramer's feet and breaks, Kramer then exacerbates his problem\nby kicking the gun\n\nas he tries to retrieve it.\n\n(Yankee's Parking Lot)\n\nGeorge is driving his car in a circle in the parking lot. Trailing\nbehind the\n\ncar, on a rope, is a trophy which bounces and clatters on the\ntarmac. George is\n\nleaning out of the car window, with a megaphone.\n\nGEORGE\nAttention Steinbrenner and front-office\nmorons! Your triumphs mean\n\nnothing. You all stink. You can sit on it, and rotate! This is\nGeorge Costanza.\n\nI fear no reprisal. Extension five-one-seven-oh.\n\n(Putumayo)\n\nGladys is still behind the counter. Valerie and Mrs Hamilton\nare browsing the\n\nracks. Elaine enters and, holding her hand up to hide her face,\nshe walks over\n\nto the changing room, pulls back the curtain and enters.\n\nKRAMER\nL'Occupado.\n\nELAINE\nCome on, what is taking you so long?\n\nKRAMER\nElaine, I broke the price-gun, so I\nhad to move to plan B.\n\nELAINE\nPlan B? There is no plan B.\n\nKRAMER\n(holds up some small white sachets)\nI took these out of every single\n\ngarment in the store.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?!\n\nKRAMER\nThey're dessicates. See, they absorb\nmoisture. (gleeful) These clothes\n\nwon't last five years without 'em.\n\nELAINE\nThat's not gonna do anything.\n\nKRAMER\nPatience.\n\nELAINE\nAlright. Forget it!\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nYou have screwed me again, Pennypacker!\n\nElaine leaves, hurrying through the store with her face shielded\nagain.\n\nGLADYS\nLadies, care for some chips?\n\nKRAMER\n(emerging from the changing room) Well,\nI don't mind if I do.\n\nHe takes a chip and dips it. As he loads the chip with the dip,\na sachet of\n\ndessicate falls from his sleeve into the dip. He doesn't notice,\nand after\n\nconsuming the chip he deposits the bundle of clothing onto the\ncounter.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I've uh, I've changed my mind.\nI think I'm going to build a\n\nrollercoaster instead.\n\nKramer leaves. Mrs Hamilton comes over to the counter, takes\na chip, dips it\n\ninto the dessicate-laced dip and eats it.\n\n(Steinbrenner's Office)\n\nGeorge stands before Steinbrenner's desk, in his shirt-sleeves,\nnonchalantly\n\neating something. He occasionally shrugs at Steinbrenner's remarks.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nI heard what you did in the parking\nlot, big boy, and it is\n\nin-excuse-a-bull. You personally insulted me, my staff... I cannot\nbelieve that\n\nyou, body-suit man, could perpetrate such a disloyalty. Breaks\nmy heart to say\n\nit... Oh, who am I kidding? I love it. You're fi...\n\nGeorge looks expectant, as Steinbrenner reaches this point. Suddenly,\nMr Wilhelm\n\nenters the office.\n\nWILHELM\nWait, wait, Mr Steinbrenner. George\ndoesn't deserve any of the blame\n\nfor what happened in the parking lot today, sir. If there's anyone\nto blame\n\nhere, it's me.\n\nGeorge stares at Wilhelm in disbelief.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nWhat're you talking about, Wilhelm.\nYou popping pills? You got the\n\ncrazies again?\n\nWILHELM\nNo, no. No, no, sir. I ordered George\nto drive around insulting people\n\ntoday. Because I'm tired of all your macho head games.\n\nGEORGE\n(agitated) He's lying, sir! I'm tired\nof all your macho head games!\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nMacho head games?\n\nWILHELM\n(puts arm round George's shoulder) He's\njust being loyal to me, sir.\n\nSTEINBRENNER\nWilhelm, you're fired. I owe you an\napology, body-suit man. Streak\n\non. (rising) Now, if you gentlemen'll excuse me, I'm not going\nto the game\n\ntoday, I'm gonna go outside and scalp some tickets. (heads toward\nthe door)\n\nOwner's box, that's gotta bring in forty bucks, no problem.\n\nGEORGE\nMr Wilhelm, what was that?!\n\nWILHELM\nI wanted to get fired. George, you are\nlooking at the new head scout of\n\nthe New York Mets.\n\nWilhelm walks away toward the door, leaving George looking crushed.\n\nWILHELM\n(singing) Meet the Mets, meet the Mets.\nCome right out and greet the\n\nMets.\n\n(Jerry's Apartment)\n\nKRAMER\nI don't know what Elaine is so upset\nabout. I mean, without dessicates,\n\nthose clothes'll be noticeably musty in five years.\n\nJERRY\nShe never sees the big picture.\n\nThere's a knock at the door. Jerry opens it to reveal Newman.\n\nJERRY\nHello, Newman!\n\nNEWMAN\nHello Jerry. (to Kramer) What did you\nsay to Elaine? I just got her\n\ncancellation in the mail.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, well I guess she found some place\nbetter to go.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, it's her mistake. Because she\nis going to miss the party of a\n\nlifetime.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, maybe so, but come midnight, when\nshe's looking for someone warm\n\nand cuddly to kiss, I guess you'll be caught between the moon\nand New York City.\n\nNEWMAN\nAlright. Come back to my party, please.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry too, of course.\n\nNEWMAN\n(reluctant) You don't wanna do your...\nact, or anything, do you?\n\nJERRY\nNo.\n\nNEWMAN\nAlright then, I guess I can accept a\nlittle Jerry, if it gets me a\n\n(suggestive) lot of Elaine.\n\nJerry pulls a disgusted face.\n\nKRAMER\nDeal?\n\nNEWMAN\nTo the Newmanniun! (holds out his hand)\n\nKRAMER\n(grasps Newman's hand) To the Kramennium.\n\nKramer and Newman move to the door to leave. Newman stops as\nJerry speaks to\n\nhim, and Kramer exits to his apartment.\n\nJERRY\nBy the way Newman, I'm just curious.\nWhen you booked the hotel, did you\n\nbook it for the millennium New Year?\n\nNEWMAN\n(smug) As a matter of fact, I did.\n\nJERRY\nOh, that's interesting, because as everyone\nknows, since there was no\n\nyear zero, the millennium doesn't begin until the year two-thousand\nand one.\n\nWhich would make your party, one year late, and thus, quite lame.\n\nNewman absorbs the logic of Jerry's argument. His face twitches\nas he realises\n\nhis error.\n\nJERRY\nAww!\n\nNewman makes a noise redolent of his frustration - a sort of\nhalf-strangulated\n\nnasal squeak. He then waddles away after Kramer.\n\n(Mrs Hamilton's Apartment)\n\nValerie and Mrs Hamilton sit on the couch. Mrs Hamilton looks\nnauseous.\n\nMRS HAMILTON\nI don't feel well at all. I feel all\ndried-out inside.\n\nVALERIE\nI'll call for help.\n\nShe picks up the phone and pushes a button marked 'Poison Control'.\n\n(Mrs Hamilton's Apartment/Jerry's Apartment)\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\nVALERIE\nWho's this?\n\nJERRY\nIt's Jerry. Who's this?\n\nVALERIE\nUh, it's Valerie.\n\nJERRY\nOh, hi Valerie. What's up?\n\nVALERIE\nI'll tell you what's up. My stepmother\nis violently ill, so I hit the\n\nbutton for poison control and I get you!\n\nJERRY\nWow, poison control? That's even higher\nthan number one!\n\nValerie hangs up the phone.\n\nJERRY\nHello?\n\nTHE END" }, { "url": "https://imsdb.com/transcripts/Seinfeld-The-Muffin-Tops.html", "text": "THE MUFFIN TOPS\n\nWritten by\n\nSpike Feresten\n\n(Jerry and George walking down the street.)\n\nJERRY\nHang on just let me pick up a paper.\n\nMAN\nExcuse me.

Now,\nyou Kramer are real.\n\nKRAMER\nTalk to me.\n\nGEORGE\nBut your life is Peterman's. Now the\nbus tour, which is real, takes to places\nthat, while they are real, they are\nnot real in sense that they did not\n*really* happen to the *real* Peterman\nwhich is you.\n\nKRAMER\nUnderstand?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. $37.50 for a Three Musketeers.\n\nElaine and Mr. Lippman at Monk's.\n\nMR.

LIPPMAN\nYou're the muffin top expert, tell me\nwhat I'm doing wrong.\n\nELAINE\nMr. Lippman, when I worked for you at\nPendent Publishing, I believed in you,\nyou know as a man of integrity. But,\nI saw you in that paper hat and that\naprin...\n\nELAINE\nDeal. Here's your problem. You're making\njust the muffin tops. You've gotta make\nthe *whole* muffin. Then you... Pop\nthe top, toss the stump. Taste.\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nAh. (takes a bite of the top.) Mmmmm.\nAh hah?\n\nELAINE\nYeah.\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nSo what do we with the bottoms?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know, give em to a soup kitchen.\n\nMR. LIPPMAN\nThat's a good idea.\n\nELAINE\nAnd one more thing, you really think\nwe need the exclamation point? Because,\nit's not \"Top of the Muffin *TO YOU!!!*\"\n\nMR.

The Sanitation\nDepartment won't get rid of them all,\nI can't get a truck to haul this stuff\nuntil next week.

STEINBRENNER\n(the back of his head to the camera)\nJohn Tyler? George Steinbreener here.\nI want to talk about George Castanza.\nI understand he's been dividing his\ntime between us and you. I cannot have\nthat.\n\nJOHN TYLER\n(the back of his head also to the camera)\nWell I don't know who he is but if you\nwant him that bad I'm not giving him\nup that easily.\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nOh is that so. Playing a little hardball\nhuh Jonnyboy?\n\nJOHN TYLER\nHow about this. You give me Castanza,\nI convert your concessions to all chicken\nno charge. Instead of hot dogs, chicken\ndogs. Instead of pretzels, chicken twists.\nInstead of beer, alcoholic chicken.\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nHow do you make that alcoholic chicken?\n\nJOHN TYLER\nLet if ferment, just like everything\nelse.\n\nMR. STEINBRENNER\nThat stuff sounds great. All right.\nI'll have Costanza on the next bus.\n\nKramer at a garbage dump carrying a garbage bag.\n\nMAN\nHey hey hey hey hey. Where do you think\nyou're going?\n\nKRAMER\nI was going to dump this.\n\nMAN\nIt doesn't look like garbage.\n\nKRAMER\nWell it's muffin stumps\n\nMAN\nWhere are the muffin tops?\n\nKRAMER\nThis is a garbage dump.

Yeah.\n\nKRAMER\n(gets back on the bus, yelling) Well\nmaybe I will take it up with Consumer\nAffairs.\n\nLadies and Gentlemen you're in for an additional treat. We're\ngoing to extend the tour at no extra charge.\n\nMAN\nWhere are we going?\n\nKRAMER\n(looking at a map) I don't know. (over\nthe speaker) Uh, no more questions.\n\nBanjo music plays as they look for garbage dumps.\n\nNext scene. Kramer argues with someone at a dump.\n\nNext scene. A man vomits on the floor.\n\nNext scene. Kramer is driving. He is sleepy. His head nods down\nonto the horn. The horn blows. Startled, Kramer sits back up.\n\nBanjo music finishes.\n\nWAITRESS\nSo, the New York Yankees traded you\nfor a bunch of Tyler chicken.\n\nGEORGE\nDogs, twists, a kind of fermented chicken\ndrink.\n\nMAN\nHey, aren't you the guy I asked to watch\nmy clothes?\n\nGEORGE\nWhat clothes?\n\nMAN\nThese clothes. The ones you're wearing.\n\nOn Kramer's bus.\n\nJERRY\n(in low voice to next to Kramer) Kramer\nhow much longer? My chest hair is comming\nback and it's itching me like crazy.\nI can't let her see me scratch it.\n\nKRAMER\nDon't worry. I've got a good feeling\nabout this dump.\n\nJERRY\nI'm telling you man, I'm losing it.\n\nKramer gets off the bus, carrying a garbage bag.\n\nEerie music is playing. Jerry looks out the bus window at a full\nmoon. A dog starts barking.\n\nJERRY\nI can't sit on this bus anymore. I think\nI'll go play with that dog.\n\nKRAMER\nI don't know where the tops are.\n\nJerry runs past Kramer and another person. Eerie music still\nplaying.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry what's the matter?\n\nIn slow motion Jerry runs into the woods. At normal speed he\nruns behind a tree. Camera shot down on him as he starts scratching\nhis chest.\n\nJERRY\n(for the first half of the howl, a dog\nhowls along with him.) Awoooooo-oooooooo,\nthat feels good.\n\n(Commercial)\n\nBARTENDER\nHey, you looking for George?\n\nMARY ANNE\nYeah.\n\nBARTENDER\nHe's been in the bathroom awhile. You\nmight want to check on him.\n\nGEORGE\n(talking on the phone) Jerry you gotta\nbring me some clothes down here. I lost\nmy job with the Yankees. I'm standing\nin the men's room on 43rd street in\nmy underpants.\n\nMARY ANNE\nI told you this city would eat you alive.\n\nAt the muffin shop.\n\nMR.

But\nas I understand it, we have a situation\nhere and time is of the essence.\n\nNewman goes to the back room with the muffin stumps and sets\ndown a cooler and an empty glass.

(Kramer is wearing jeans\nthat look like it doesn't fit him).\n\nKRAMER\nI don't know. I found them in your closet.\nEver since Darren left I haven't been\nable to find anything. He took all my\nclothes to some cleaners. I'm clueless.\n(looks at clock) Is that clock right?\n\nJERRY\nYeah. Nine o'clock.\n\nKRAMER\nI was supposed to pick up Newman at\nthe zoo twelve hours ago.\n\nJERRY\n(doing the voice) Good-bye Kramer.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry, buddy, I got to tell you something.\nThat voice is played.\n\nJERRY\nReally?\n\nKRAMER\nSo played.\n\nGEORGE\nI told you.\n\n(Hallway, Darren is knocking on Kramer's door)\n\nKRAMER\nDarren? What are you doing here? The\ncollege canceled the internship.\n\nDARREN\nI don't care about the internship. I\ncare about Kramerica.\n\nKRAMER\nKramerica is no more.\n\nDARREN\nWhat about the oil tanker bladder system?\nWe were going to put an end to maritime\noil spills.\n\nKRAMER\nProbably.

Darren and I are\nfinally going to test out my bladder\nsystem.\n\nGEORGE\nYou have to drink that whole thing?\n\nKRAMER\nNo. No. No. It's for oil tankers. All\nI need to do is fill some sort of rubber\ncontainer with oil and then drop it\nto see whether or not it can restrain\nthe impact.\n\nJERRY\nI understand (not really understanding,\nlol).\n\nGEORGE\nWould a giant rubber ball work?\n\nKRAMER\nConceivably.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, Play Now has all kinds of different\nrubber balls. Why don't we test your\nbladder system at my office?\n\nJERRY\nYou're not...\n\nGEORGE\nOh, yes I am. Mr. Thomassoulo likes\nto play dirty.

What-what signal?\n\nKRAMER\nI'll yell, uh, 'Hoochie mama!'\n\nGEORGE\nIf I do it, will you buy a computer?\n\nKRAMER\nOn the signal, George. On the signal.\n\nGEORGE\nOnly if you buy. I gotta make a sale.\n\nJERRY\nI love you, Costanza.\n\nGEORGE\nWill you shut up?!\n\nKRAMER\nNow! Now, George! Turn on the faucet!\nGeorge, turn on the\n\nfaucet! Hoochie mama! Hoochie mama! Hoochie mamamaaaaa!\n\nELAINE\nSo now the *other* Lippman kissed me.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, sure. They're Jewish, and you're\na shiksa.\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nIt means a non-Jewish woman.\n\nELAINE\nI know what it means, but what does\nbeing a shiksa have to\n\ndo with it?\n\nGEORGE\nYou've got 'shiksappeal'. Jewish men\nlove the idea of\n\nmeeting a woman that's not like their mother.\n\nELAINE\nOh, that's insane.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll tell you what's insane: the price\nthat I could get you\n\non a new desktop computer.\n\nELAINE\nI am not buying a computer from you.\n\nGEORGE\nThere's porn.\n\nELAINE\n(Pausing) Even so.\n\nGEORGE\nDamn it!\n\nELAINE\nDon't get me wrong, Mr. Lippman. I-I'm\nvery flattered that\n\nyou found me attractive enough to... lunge at me. Huh. But the\nonly reason\n\nyou like me is because I'm a shiksa.\n\nLIPPMAN\nThat's simply not true.\n\nELAINE\nIf you weren't Jewish, you wouldn't\nbe interested in me.\n\nLIPPMAN\nYou are wrong. I'll prove it.\n\nELAINE\nOh, no. Don't!\n\nLIPPMAN\nI renounce Judaism!\n\nELAINE\nOy vey!\n\nJERRY\nWhat happened to you, pal?\n\nKRAMER\nJoey Zanfino and some of the neighborhood\nkids. They\n\nambushed me with a box of 'Grade A's.\n\nJERRY\nAre you all right?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, no. I'm fine. Serenity now. Serenity\nnow. Serenity now.\n\nJERRY\nSo, you're using Frank's relaxation\nmethod?\n\nKramer (Trying to open a back of chips) Jerry, the anger, it\njust melts\n\nright off. Serenity now. Look at this. Serenity now!\n\nElaine (Entering Jerry's apartment) Hey, what happened to you?\n\nKRAMER\nSerenity! (He exits)\n\nELAINE\nWell. You are not gonna believe this.\nNow Lippman is\n\nrenounced. This shiksa thing is *totally* out of control. What\nis\n\n*with* you people? What are you looking at?\n\nJERRY\nSit down, Elaine.\n\nELAINE\nOh, no. Jerry, I can't take any more\ngentle sobbing.\n\nJERRY\nI've been thinking about what it means\nto be complete.\n\nELAINE\nDo you have an apple or anything?\n\nJERRY\nLook at us, hurtling through space on\nthis big, blue marble.\n\nELAINE\nOr a nectarine? I would absolutely love\na nectarine.\n\nJERRY\nLooking everywhere for some kind of\nmeaning...\n\nELAINE\nWhy am I in such a fruit mood? Ahh,\nbanana!\n\nJERRY\nWhen all the while, the real secret\nto happiness has been right in\n\nfront of us!\n\nELAINE\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nElaine...\n\nGEORGE\n(Entering Jerry's apartment with a cartload\nof computers) Jerry,\n\nI've found a way to beat Lloyd Braun! I buy the computers myself,\nI\n\nstore 'em in your apartment. Then, after I win the contest, I\nbring 'em all\n\nback and get my money back. Ha ha! It's brilliant. What? What's\n\nwrong with your leg?\n\nJERRY\nI'm asking Elaine to marry me.\n\nGeorge (Leaving) I'll store these over at Kramer's apartment.\n\nJERRY\nElaine?\n\nELAINE\nUhh, Jerry, I've got a lot goin' on\nwith, uh, Lippman\n\nright now.\n\nJERRY\nLippman?\n\nElaine (Trying to get her bag to leave) Yeah, and him too. What?!\nOh,\n\nyeah! I think George is calling me, so I'm gonna go give him\na hand.\n\nCome on! Come on!\n\nJERRY\nCan I help you?\n\nELAINE\nNo. Stay! Stay. Stay.\n\nFRANK\nHey, Braun, Costanza's kicking your\nbutt!\n\nGeorge (using the phone) Watch how it's done. Oh, hello, Mr.\nVandelay?\n\nWould you like to buy a computer? Oh, really? Two dozen?\n\nFRANK\nCostanza, you're white hot!\n\nPHONE\nIf you'd like to make a call, please\nhang up and--\n\nFRANK\nHey, Braun, I got good news and bad\nnews. And they're both the\n\nSAME\nyou're fired. Costanza, you've won the\nwater pik!\n\nESTELLE\nYou're not gonna give away that water\npik!\n\nFRANK\nYou wanna bet? Serenity now, serenity\nnow!\n\nLLOYD\nYou know, you should tell your dad that\n'serenity now' thing\n\ndoesn't work. It just bottles up the anger, and eventually, you\n\nblow.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat do you know? You were in the nut\nhouse.\n\nLLOYD\nWhat do you think put me there?\n\nGEORGE\nI heard they found a family in your\nfreezer\n\nLLOYD\nSerenity now. Insanity later.\n\nJERRY\n(Entering the hallway to his apartment)\nWhat happened here,\n\nKramer?\n\nKRAMER\nSerenity now, serenity now...\n\nJERRY\nKramer!\n\nKRAMER\nGeez! Jerry, I didn't here you come\nin. Yeah, the children,\n\nthey've done sum redecorating. Serenity now, serenity now.\n\nJERRY\nYou don't look well.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, that's odd, 'cause I feel perfectly\nat peace with the\n\nworld- uh! eggs! you! Serenity now, serenity now, serenity now.\n\nJERRY\nOh, I'm sorry. Look at me, I stepped\non your last rose.\n\nKramer (going into his apartment) Jerry, come on. Don't get upset\nabout\n\nit. There's always next spring. Now will you excuse me for a\nmoment.\n\nSerenity nooooooooww!\n\nGEORGE\nJerry! I did it! Haha! I beat Braun!\n\nKRAMER\n(crashing and banging in his apartment)\nSerenity now!\n\nGEORGE\nCome on, wanna give me a hand with the\ncomputers?\n\nKRAMER\n(Crashing and banging around) Serenity\nnooooowwwww!\n\nGEORGE\nWhy couldn't you squeeze one of those\nstupid rubber balls\n\nto get your stress out? Why did you have to destroy *twenty-five*\n\ncomputers?\n\nKRAMER\n(Leaving) George, you listen to me.\nI owe ya one.\n\nJERRY\nHe's incorrigible. You want to talk\nabout it?\n\nGEORGE\nOh, please don't tell me you love me\nagain, Jerry, I can't handle\n\nit.\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, letting my emotions out was\nthe best thing I've ever done.\n\nSure I'm not funny anymore, but there's more to life than making\n\nshallow, fairly-obvious observations. How about you?\n\nGEORGE\nAll right... here goes...\n\nELAINE\nRabbi, is there anything I can do to\ncombat this\n\nShiks-appeal?\n\nRABBI\nHa! Elaine, shiks-appeal is a myth,\nlike the Yeti, or his North\n\nAmerican cousin, the Sasquatch.\n\nELAINE\nWell, something's goin' on here, 'cause\nevery able-bodied\n\nIsraelite in the county is driving pretty strong to the hoop.\n\nRABBI\nElaine, there's much you don't understand\nabout the Jewish\n\nreligion. For example, did you know that rabbis are allowed to\ndate?\n\nELAINE\n(About to leave) Well, what does that\nhave to do...?\n\nRABBI\nYou know, a member of my congregation\nhas a timeshare in Myrtle\n\nBeach. Perhaps, if you're not too busy, we could wing on down\nafter\n\nthe High Holidays? Elaine? 'Lainie?\n\nGEORGE\nSo, that's it. All of my darkest fears,\nand... everything I'm\n\ncapable of. That's me.\n\nJERRY\nYikes. Well, good luck with all that.\n\nGEORGE\nWhere you going? I-I thought I could\ncount on you for a\n\nlittle compassion.\n\nJERRY\nI think you scared me straight.\n\nELAINE\nAll right, Jerome, I'm in.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nELAINE\nMaybe we should get married. Maybe everything\nwe need is\n\nright here in front of us. Jer... let's do it.\n\nJERRY\nI tell ya, I don't see it happening.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? What happened to the new Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nHe doesn't work here anymore.\n\nELAINE\nOh, well that's just *great!*\n\nGEORGE\nI love you, Jerry.\n\nJerry (Leaving) Right back at ya, Slick.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know, all these years, I've always\nwanted to see the\n\ntwo of you get back together.\n\nELAINE\nWell, that's because you're an idiot.\n\nFRANK\nYou single-handedly brought Costanza\nand Son to the brink of\n\nbankruptcy.\n\nGEORGE\nWell what about all the Lloyd Braun\nsales?\n\nFRANK\nHe's crazy. His phone wasn't even hooked\nup. He just liked ringing\n\nthat bell.\n\nESTELLE\nI told you to clean out this garage.\nI have to put my car\n\nin!\n\nFRANK\nThis is a place of business. I told\nyou never to come in here.\n\nSerenity now!\n\nESTELLE\nAll right...\n\nGEORGE\nDad, you really should lay off the 'serenity\nnow' stuff.\n\nFRANK\nSo, what am I supposed to say?\n\nGEORGE\n'Hoochie mama'?\n\nESTELLE\nMove your crap, I'm comin' in!\n\nFRANK\nNo you're not!

I took all my blood\ndown to Newman's. He let me put it in\nhis meat freezer.\n\nJERRY\nHey, what's going on? Who made pudding?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah yeah, George he came by and\nmade more of those pudding skin singles.\nThey're delicious.\n\nJERRY\nDamn that George, I told him I don't\nwant this stuff around here anymore...\n\n(Jerry hits a spatula on the table and one Exacto knife flies\nthrough the air.)\n\nKRAMER\nHeads up!\n\nJERRY\nAaah...\n\n----\n\n(Elaine is on the baby-sitting gig and Jimmy is shooting her\nwith a toy gun.)\n\nJIMMY\nYou're dead, president Lincoln!

I wish I could\ndo this every day.\n\nVIVIAN\nOh Elaine, that's so good to hear. I've\nbeen having a few health problems lately.\n\nELAINE\nIt's not serious, is it?\n\nVIVIAN\nWell, it might be. Just in case anything\ndoes happen, it's nice to know there's\nsomebody like you around.\n\nELAINE\nOh yeah, that eh...that is nice to know.\n(Pours the juice from the bag back to\nglass.)\n\n(Jerry wakes up at the hospital. Kramer is staring at him up\nclose.)\n\nJERRY\nAah!\n\nKRAMER\nIt's ok, Jerry. I'm right here.\n\nJERRY\nI can see that! What happened?\n\nKRAMER\nThat knife, it nicked your jugular.\nYou know Jerry, when somebody yells\n'heads up', you're not supposed to actually\nlook up.\n\nJERRY\nI'll remember that.\n\nKRAMER\nAnyway, you were lucky that I was there.\nYou lost a lot of blood.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah, you've got three pints of Kramer\nin you, buddy.\n\n(Jerry starts screaming and Kramer joins him.)\n\n(Monk's Cafe. Jerry and George.)\n\nGEORGE\nThree pints of Kramer's blood?\n\nJERRY\nI can feel his blood inside of me. Borrowing\nthings from my blood.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, so much for purification week.\n\nJERRY\nSo, how's the fornicating gourmet?\n\nGEORGE\nDoing quite well, thank you.

That's\nhow I met her, she was doing a skin\ncancer screening at Peterman. That's\nwhat dermatologists do.\n\nJERRY\nSadly, that knowledge could've help\nme.\n\nGEORGE\nWait a minute, she did a skin cancer\nscreening at Peterman?\n\nELAINE\nAha.\n\nGEORGE\nCould she do that at Kruger?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know, I guess.\n\nGEORGE\nSo I set up a screening, everyone takes\ntheir shirt off and click, I snap me\na shot of a bear-chested Kruger.\n\nELAINE\nYou have a little thing for this fella'?\n\nGEORGE\nJerry, you gotta talk to Sitarides.\n\nJERRY\nYesterday you said I had to get my revenge\non her!\n\nGEORGE\nAnd that was wrong, Jerry! You simple\nmust to apologize..\n\nJERRY\nMust I?\n\nGEORGE\nYes!

I'll do your friend's\ncancer screening, because I believe\nin that, but as far as you and I are\nconcerned; it's off.\n\nJERRY\nWas it pimple popper MD?\n\nSARA\nThat's the one.

I'm lost!\n\nJERRY\nYou promise you'll never come in here\nagain?\n\nKRAMER,\nOh, Jerry, you know I can't do that.\n\nJERRY,\nNow my sense of it is that you're probably\n\nwasting time working piecemeal, first cleaning one area, then\nanother.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, that's how cats do it.\n\nJERRY\nBut, when you have a faucet instead\nof a tongue, you want to use\n\ngravity.\n\nKRAMER\nOK.

A ball-game giveaway\n\nMetlife windbreaker?\n\nHANKE\nGeorge, come on, not that neck hole\nthing.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, the neck hole thing, and I would\nappreciate it if you would\n\nsay you're sorry.\n\nHANKE\nNo way, you would've completely stretched\nit out.\n\nGEORGE\nYou're an alcoholic!

I fixed that bike.\n\nJERRY\nOh. That wasn't really necessary. I\ndon't ride it. It's just for\n\nshow.\n\nMELISSA,\nI should really clean those\n\nbearings. Hold this. Look at all that gunk.\n\nJERRY\nPlease don't crouch.\n\nMELISSA\nOuch! Caught my skin.\n\nJERRY\nOh, that's bad. Especially that area.\n\nMELISSA\nYou got anything to snack on?\n\nJERRY\nUhh...\n\nMELISSA,\nOh, pickles!\n\nUnnhhhh! It's a tough one.\n\nJERRY\nLook, please stop!

I happen to have a very steady\nboyfriend. You know, I mean,\n\nwe broke up a few times and there has been an occasional guy\nhere or... or\n\nthere, but, wh-why is this your business?\n\nPEGGY\nIt's not. Good day.\n\nElaine, (leaving the room after rubbing Peggy's keyboard on her\nbutt,\n\nright. You think I've got germs? I'll give you some germs. How\nabout some for\n\nyour keyboard, huh? Huh?

Instead of an\n\napology, he was beboppin' and scattin' all over me.\n\nSPONSOR\nI'm not sure what you want me to do.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, aren't you the boss of him? You\nshouldn't let him move up!\n\nWhen I was in the Cub Scouts, I got stuck on Weebolos for three\nyears 'cause\n\nI kept losing the Pinewood Derby.\n\nSPONSOR\nYou're quite upset, George.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I think you should drop him down\nto Step Two.\n\nSPONSOR\nAdmit there's a higher power?\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, let him chew on that for a while.\n\nSPONER\nYou know George, I think I can help\nyou. We're having a meeting\n\ntomorrow. Why don't you just come by?\n\nGEORGE\nAll right. That's more like it. Thank\nyou very much.\n\nGEORGE,\nBy the way, my\n\nuncle was an alcoholic, so...\n\nKRAMER,\nLomez, you're not listenin'.

What is wrong with\n\nmy body?\n\nELAINE\nChicken wing shoulder blades.\n\nJERRY\nThat's it?\n\nELAINE\nNo, but that's one problem. Why?\n\nJERRY\nWell, I was walking around naked in\nfront of Melissa the other day--\n\nELAINE\nWhoa! Walking around naked? Ahh...\nthat is not a good look for a\n\nman.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy not? It's a good look for a woman.\n\nELAINE\nWell, the female body is a... work\nof art. The male body is\n\nutilitarian, it's for gettin' around, like a jeep.\n\nJERRY\nSo you don't think it's attractive?\n\nELAINE\nIt's hideous. The hair, the... the\nlumpiness. It's simian.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, some women like it.\n\nELAINE\nHmm. Sickies.\n\nKRAMER,\nInstalling your\n\nClarkman garbage disposal.

You've got to\ndismantle the latch hasp from the\n\nauxiliary drainage line.\n\nKRAMER\nNo. It says 'main line'.\n\nPUDDY\nIt's a misprint. What do you got, a\nClarkman?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah.\n\nthrough it.\n\nKRAMER\nOh, OK. Well, thanks, buddy.\n\nELAINE\nHey, Puddy.\n\nPUDDY\nHey, Babe, your boss called. You owe\nfive bucks for a balloon\n\nbouquet. Yeah, he says you can just give it to him tomorrow when\nyou see him.\n\nELAINE\nBalloon bouquet?

Elaine.\n\n(Elaine slowly creeps up towards Peggy)\n\nPUDDY\nI know it looks bleak. I've been there.\nTen years ago waking up in\n\nbed next to a woman like this would've sent me running for the\nPhisohex.\n\nPEGGY\nReally?\n\nPUDDY\nI still have trouble looking at those\ndisgusting old bedroom slippers\n\nshe slogs around in.\n\nELAINE\nHey, I've had those since college.\nThey're bunnies.\n\nPUDDY\nThey're bacteria traps.\n\nPEGGY\nSo you... just learned to live with\nit?\n\nPUDDY\nFor the most part.\n\nELAINE\nOK, we're broken up for the rest of\nthe day.\n\nJERRY\nSo I'm glad we had a talk and worked\nthis out. Don't you feel this is\n\nbetter?\n\nMELISSA\nThis is nice.\n\nJERRY\nYes, clothes. This is normal.\n\nMELISSA\nHey, what are you doing tomorrow? I\nwas thinking that we could go\n\ndown...\n\n(as Melissa continues to talk, Jerry starts imagining her gorgeously\nnaked,\n\nand stops paying attention)\n\nMELISSA\nJerry?

Hey, how do you\n\nmake those radish roses?\n\nJERRY\nInsert a knife into the center and\ntwist. Then, to make it bloom,\n\nsoak it in water for thirty to forty minutes.\n\nKRAMER\nNo problem there.\n\nHANKE,\nGeorge. Thanks for coming down to talk\n\nto me. I wanted to see you right away, but my hours here aren't\nvery\n\nflexible. I just started yesterday.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm here. What is it?\n\nHANKE\nWell, I talked to my sponsor, and,\nuh, I've thought it over, and, you\n\nknow, my apology at the coffee shop was sarcastic, and rude,\nand you deserve\n\nmuch better.\n\nHANKE\nYou're welcome.\n\nKID,\nCan I get a Triple Minute Man Mint?\n\nHANKE\nWaffle or sugar cone?\n\nGEORGE\nUh, excuse me, uh, um, Jason. I don't\nwant to get into a big thing\n\nhere, but... I'm not sure if, technically, what you just said\nwas actually an\n\napology.\n\nHANKE\nWhat?\n\nKID\nCan you get on that cone?\n\nHANKE\nWould you hang on just a second, son?\nGeorge, what are you talking\n\nabout?\n\nGEORGE\nWell, it's just, all you said was 'your\nwelcome', which is nice.\n\nIt's very nice. But... I feel I gotta get the apology.\n\nKID\nIs there anybody else here but you?\n\nHANKE\nI'm alone, and it's my second day.\nYou know, I don't even think we\n\nhave that flavor so... George, really, enough, ok? You know,\nI-I admitted I\n\nwas wrong, so what more do you want from me?\n\nGEORGE\nI would like an apology.\n\nHANKE\nAll right, look, you know--\n\nKID #2,\nDid you try it?\n\nKID\nNo, this guy doesn't know what he's\ndoing.\n\nHANKE\nOh, yes I do. Yes, I do. OK? I'm interacting\nwith someone here, if\n\nyou can understand that. Now, I'm sorry.\n\nGEORGE\nBaah! There it is! You just said it!\nThat's what I want! Now say it\n\nagain, and tell it to me.\n\nHANKE\nI'm not saying anything to you. I'm\nnot sorry. I was never sorry. It\n\nwas cashmere. I hate Step Nine! Where's that Rum Raisin? Where\nis it? Can't\n\nfind anything. I need a drink. Ah, daquiri ice. Here we go. What\nare you\n\nlooking at? Get out! Come on, can't you see we're closed?! Get\nout!\n\nELAINE,\nMmm.

He never apologized to\nme for saying that I would\n\nstretch out the neck hole of his sweater.\n\n(audience laughs)\n\nGEORGE\nIt wasn't funny.\n\nHANKE\nIt was a very nice sweater. Take a\nlook at his neck, not to mention\n\nthe melon sitting on top of it.

I believe you just ate my\nTwix bar. It was dangling. And when\nyou purchased your Twix bar, you got\na little freebie, and you never bothered\n\nto ask why, or seek out its rightful owner.\n\nMECHANIC\nFirst of all, it wasn't a Twix. It was\na 5th Avenue bar.\n\nGEORGE\nHuh. You must think I'm pretty stupid.\nThat was no 5th Avenue bar. I can see\nthe crumb right there in the corner\nof your lip! Now, that-that-that is\na\n\ncookie - and we all know Twix is the only candy bar with the\ncookie crunch.\n\nMECHANIC\nYeah, it's just a little nougat.\n\nGEORGE\nNougat? Please. I think I've reached\nthe point in my life where I can tell\nbetween nougat and cookie. So, let's\nnot just say things that are obvious\n\nfabrications.\n\nMECHANIC\n(Pointing to George's forehead) You\nknow, you're gettin' a little vein there..\n\nGEORGE\n(Watching the mechanic leave) I know\nabout the vein!

You'll get used to\nit. Just, (Makes a popping sound) get\nit out of your mind.\n\nRICK\nHave you ever been completely below\nthe slash?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I almost did once, and I blacked\nout.

(Leaving\nthe negotiation to George) George, vein it up.\n\nGEORGE\nAlright, Puddy, listen, and listen good:\nI need to know the name of that mechanic\nthat walks around here. Big guy, a liar.\nShort name. Sam? Moe? Sol?!\n\nJERRY\nGeorge! Can we focus on the car, here?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm starving! I can feel my stomach\nsucking up against my spine.\n\nPUDDY\n(Handing a sheet of paper to Jerry)\nJerry, I just need your signature, here,\nand we'll get you that yellow car ready\nto go.\n\nJERRY\nYellow? I wanted black.\n\nPUDDY\nI can't give you black at that price.\n\nJERRY\n(Pleading) George, could you help me,\nplease?\n\nGEORGE\n(Standing up) Yes. This is wrong!\n\nJERRY\nSing it, sister!\n\nGEORGE\nJust because a candy bar fails to fall\nfrom its perch..!\n\nJERRY\n(Exasperated) Uhhh..\n\nGEORGE\n(Losing it) ..does not imply transfer\nof ownership.

Like Thelma and Louise.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat, they drove to a dealership?\n\nRICK\nNo, they drove off a cliff.\n\n(Kramer eyes Rick, frightened)\n\nKRAMER\nYou are one sick mama..

Uhhh...\n\nElaine at Monk's with George and Jerry.\n\nELAINE\nSo Joe Mayo had the same coat.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd you threw it out the window?\n\nELAINE\nMm-hmm.\n\nGEORGE\nGod, you're like a rock star.\n\nELAINE\nSo now Joe Mayo wants me to buy him\na new coat.\n\nJERRY\nBecause you threw it out.\n\nELAINE\nNo, because I was in charge of the coats.\nIt's... insane.\n\nJERRY\nBut you did actually throw his coat\nout the window.\n\nELAINE\nBut he doesn't know that. As far as\nhe knows, somebody stole it, and that's\nthe person who should be responsible.\n\nJERRY\nBut that's you.\n\nELAINE\nSo I guess I'll have to buy him a new\ncoat, even though I don't think I should\nbe held responsible, which I am anyway.\n\nGeorge, taking out his wallet to pay the check.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, I'm satisfied. Uh...my back is...killing\nme.\n\nJERRY\nOf course. Because of that wallet.

Why don't you give me your\nnumber?\n\nGLENN\nI think it'd be better if I called\nyou.\n\nELAINE\nOh. OK. Maybe we could grab some lunch\nsometime. Do-do you work around here?\n\nGLENN\nMmmm... no, not really.\n\nELAINE\nSo, is there anything you can tell\nme about yourself?\n\nGLENN\nI think you're very beautiful.\n\nELAINE, LAUGHING\nOh, ha ha. That'll do.\n\nELAINE\nI haven't talked to him in, like, three\nweeks. I think it might be over.\n\nJERRY\nSo, what's this guy about?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know. He wouldn't tell me his\nphone number, where he worked. I'll\nbe he's in a relationship.\n\nJERRY\nOr he's a crime fighter safeguarding\nhis secret identity. Elaine, you could\nbe dating the Green Lantern!\n\nELAINE\nWhich one is he?\n\nJERRY\nGreen suit, power ring.\n\nELAINE\nI don't care for jewellery on men.\n\nKramer, entering Jerry's apartment carrying a large box.\n\nKRAMER\nHey. It happened again. Another robbery\nin the building.\n\nJERRY\nSo you bought a cooler?\n\nKRAMER\nIt's a strongbox to protect my irreplacables.\n\nELAINE\nAnd... what would those be?\n\nKRAMER\nSome taxidermy that's been in my family\nfor generations. My Tony, my... military\ndischarge.\n\nJERRY\nYou were in the Army?\n\nKRAMER\nBriefly. Now, I gotta find a good place\nto hide this key. Because if somebody\nfinds this, they hold the key to all\nmy possessions.\n\nELAINE\nLiterally.\n\nKRAMER\n'Literally'? What's that supposed to\nmean? You mind if I hide this somewhere?\n\nJERRY\nNo, go ahead.\n\nJERRY\nOh, come on!\n\nKRAMER\nCome on, Jerry, this is a security\nissue. Boy, you wouldn't last a day\nin the Army.\n\nKRAMER\nWell, that's classified.\n\nJERRY\nKramer?\n\nELAINE\nNo, the Green Lantern.\n\nKRAMER\nOK!\n\nELAINE\nWell, I don't know. I may never marry.\nIt might be the closest I get.\n\n(Jerry, getting a spoon out of his silverware drawer, accidentally\nstumbles on the key, and holds it up for Kramer to see)\n\nKRAMER\nYou peeked!\n\nJERRY\nThis is your hiding place?!\n\nKRAMER\nIt was under a spoon!\n\nofficially broken up. Thank you, and good night.\n\nMAURA\nNo, George, we're not.\n\nGEORGE\nBut I proved it!\n\nMAURA\nI refuse to give up on this relationship.\nIt's like launching\n\nmissiles from a submarine. Both of use have to turn our keys.\n\nGEORGE\nWell, then, I am gonna have to ask\nyou to turn your key.\n\nMAURA\nI'm sorry, George, I can't do that.\n\nGEORGE\nTurn your key, Maura. Turn your key!\n\ninvolved?\n\nGLENN\nWell, I might ask you the same thing.\n\nELAINE, IN HER MIND\nThat's true, maybe he's not married.\n\n(Glenn gives her a flower)\n\nELAINE\nOh, that is so sweet.\n\nELAINE, IN HER MIND\nHow long do I have to hold this?\n\nELAINE\nWho is it?\n\nme show you a short cut. Come on.\n\nELAINE, IN HER MIND\nMarried. That's it, I'm chucking the\nflower.\n\nELAINE\nYou didn't hear me buzzing?\n\nJERRY\nOh, I guess it's broken.\n\nELAINE\nThrow down your key.\n\nJERRY\nIt's liable to bounce and go into a\nsewer.\n\nELAINE\nI'll catch it!\n\nJERRY\nYou'll chicken out at the last second.\n\nELAINE\nYeah, you're right.\n\nELAINE\nAll right. Well, will you at least\nkeep me company until somebody\n\ncomes out?\n\nJERRY\nAll right.\n\nJERRY, AFTER A PAUSE\nHey, you know what's weird?\n\nELAINE\nHuh?\n\nJERRY\nI used to be able to have a huge meal,\ngo right to sleep. But I can't\n\nanymore.\n\nELAINE\nNodding off!\n\nELAINE\nWell, I was right. He's an adulterer.\nAnd he's cheating on his wife\n\nwith me.\n\nELAINE\nI'm hungry. Can you throw something\ndown?\n\nare you doin'?\n\nJERRY\nYou jammed your key in here? You shorted\nout my intercom!\n\nKRAMER\nYou just had to go lookin' for it,\ndidn't you? See, you hate it that\n\nI have a little secret. Anything I do -- oooh, oooh! -- you gotta\nknow\n\neverything about it. You're so obsessed with me.\n\nKRAMER\nWhat are you doing with her?\n\nKRAMER\nSecurity issue!\n\nin.\n\nguy.\n\nJERRY\nSo, he's definitely married, huh?\n\nELAINE\nYeah...\n\nJERRY\nBoy, I would've loved to have been\nthere when you told him off.\n\nELAINE\nHmm...\n\nJERRY\nOh, come on!\n\nELAINE\nWell, he could be a superhero! You\nshould've seen him run.\n\n(Elaine and Jerry go back inside Jerry's apartment)\n\nKRAMER\nAll right, Jerry. Let's see if you\ncan get it in your head that this\n\nis not an Easter egg hunt for your childish amusement.\n\n(George tries to whistle to get Jerry's attention)\n\nJERRY\nGeorge, the buzzer's broken! I'll come\ndown!\n\nJerry, putting on his coat to go downstairs, when he finds the\nkey in his\n\nCOAT POCKET\nI believe this belongs to you.\n\nKRAMER\nHeyyyy!\n\nJerry, opening the ground floor door for George, and seeing him\neating a\n\nGRANOLA BAR\nWhere did you get that?\n\nGEORGE\nI bought it.\n\nPHIL\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nThere's been some robberies in the\nbuilding. I-I can't let you in.\n\nPHIL\nBut, I live here. I ran out to get\nsome birdseed, and-and I forgot my\n\nkey.\n\nGEORGE\nSounds like a scam.\n\nJERRY\nGreat, you're lonely and miserable\nagain.\n\nGEORGE\nFeels right.\n\nJERRY\nIs that guy still there?\n\nJERRY\nDon't look at him.\n\nGEORGE\nWant a bite?\n\nJERRY\nNo, I don't.\n\nGEORGE, IN HIS MIND\nI think that ginger ale at the coffee\nshop is just Coke\n\nand Sprite mixed together. How can I prove it? Ah! Can't, dammit.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat? M-Maura, what are you doin' here?\nI ended this relationship,\n\ntwice.\n\nMAURA\nGeorge, you didn't mean that. That\nwas just a fight.\n\nGEORGE\nWhy does it only seem like I'm the\nonly one working at this breakup?\n\nMAURA\nGeorge, I listened to your arguments,\nand they were rambling and\n\nflimsy. I'm not convinced. Come on, get dressed and let's get\nsome dinner.\n\nGEORGE\nAll right.\n\nMAURA\nEww, Mr. Apple. You have a brown spot.\n\nlittle... love nest?\n\nGLENN\nIt's nothing special, just a little\nplace I keep.\n\nELAINE\nOh.\n\nGLENN\nAh, should I light a fire?\n\nELAINE\nOh, that sounds romantic.\n\nthe heat. Uh, I got some cardboard out here.\n\nELAINE, IN HER MIND\nThis is wrong. I should go.\n\nGLENN, FROM OUTSIDE\nCan you get that, please?\n\nELAINE\nOh, sure.\n\n(Elaine gasps when she opens the door, seeing the woman from\nthe street that\n\nGlenn had avoided earlier)\n\nLADY\nWhere's Glenn?\n\nELAINE\nYou're the woman from the street, and\nI am so sorry. You know, I'm\n\nnot really a home-wrecker. I-I-I-I thought he was a superhero.\nI swear.\n\nLADY\nLady, I'm not his wife, I'm his welfare\ncaseworker. Is he home?\n\nELAINE\nThis is his home?\n\nLADY\nYes.\n\nELAINE\nSo, he's...\n\nLADY\nPoor.\n\nwill burn!\n\nJerry, getting into his building elevator from the lobby, and\nseeing Phil get\n\nIN WITH HIM\nSo you do live here.\n\nPHIL\nYeah.\n\n(going up in the elevator, both men awkwardly stand in silence)\n\nPHIL\nYeah.\n\nJerry, seeing Phil start to open his apartment door, only one\ndoor down from\n\nKRAMER'S\nSo you live right... there.\n\nPHIL\nYeah.\n\nJERRY\nSo I guess I'll see--\n\n(Phil, going into his apartment, slams the door behind him)\n\ndoesn't have a phone. He's not married. He's poor.\n\nJERRY\nIs he wretchedly poor? Does he wear\none of those barrels, with the\n\nstraps?\n\nELAINE\nHe probably busted it up and burned\nit for heat.\n\nJERRY\nSo, when are you giving Boxcar Willie\nhis walking papers?\n\nELAINE\nHow can I end it over money? I feel\nbad.\n\nJERRY\nWell, let's think. Have you ever dealt\nwith the poor in any other\n\nsituation?\n\nELAINE\nYes. There was this homeless guy who\nused to urinate on our garbage\n\ncans.\n\nJERRY\nGood. How did you handle that?\n\nELAINE\nWell, we gave him a few bucks, and...\nnow he goes in the alley\n\nacross the street.\n\nJERRY\nSame situation. Pay him off, and you're\nclean.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I am not paying Glenn off to\nget out of this relationship.\n\nWh-what am I supposed to do, just walk into his hovel, and hand\nhim... well,\n\nhow much do you think it would be?\n\nJERRY\nHey, where have you been?\n\nGEORGE\nSeeing Maura. Apparently, I was unable\nto break up beyond a\n\nreasonable doubt.\n\nELAINE\nIf only he could have been cheating\non his wife, you know, things\n\nwould have been so much simpler.\n\nGEORGE\nWho's this, Blue Arrow?\n\nELAINE\nGreen Lantern.\n\nJERRY\nWe found out his super power was lack\nof money.\n\nELAINE\nAll right.\n\nJERRY\nHe's invulnerable to creditors.\n\nELAINE\nWe get it.\n\nJERRY\nHe's the 'Got-no-Green' Lantern.\n\nELAINE\nThank you.\n\nJERRY\nHey, Elaine. Maybe his girlfriend is\nLois Loan.\n\nELAINE, LEAVING\nWell crafted.\n\nGEORGE\nHey, maybe this cheating thing is what\nI could use to ditch Maura.\n\nJERRY\nSure, just tell Maura you're having\nan affair.\n\nGeorge, now on the same side as the booth of Jerry, with Elaine's\nside\n\nVACANT\nShe's like a district attorney. If\nit's not the truth, I'll break\n\nunder the cross. I actually have to do it.\n\nJERRY\nCould you move over there?\n\n(George reluctantly switches sides, so they're facing each other)\n\nGEORGE\nHey, you know, there's this secretary\nat work that always had a\n\ncrush on me.\n\nJERRY\nReally? How come you never pursued\nher before?\n\nGEORGE\nShe's too tan. It's the middle of the\nwinter, she's like a carrot.\n\nJERRY, TO ELAINE\nHe can wipe out his checking account\nin a single bound!\n\n(Jerry, as he's entering his apartment to see Kramer there, disturbs\nsome\n\nsort of bird in the hallway, which makes a squawking noise)\n\nKRAMER\nHey.\n\nJERRY\nThere's a giant parrot in the hallway.\n\nKRAMER\nIt's Phil's.\n\nJERRY\nWho?\n\nKRAMER\nOur neighbor that you turned against.\nAnyway, I told him it'd be\n\nfine with us if he wanted to let it stretch its wings out in\nthe hallway.\n\nJERRY\nWhat'd ya tell him that for?\n\nKRAMER\nBecause since you've been playing God\nwith the front door, I've been\n\ntryin' to smooth things out, Jerry. In fact, I was just hanging\nout at his\n\nplace.\n\nJERRY\nReally? What's it like? Is it nicer\nthan mine? Where does he have the\n\ncouch?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I don't know, but the key problem\nis solved. I hid it at\n\nPhil's\n\nJERRY\nHe let you?\n\nKRAMER\nNo, he doesn't know. So, uh, Phil won't\nbe compulsively looking for\n\nit like some people. You!\n\n(going out into the hallway, Kramer is apparently attacked by\nthe parrot,\n\nbecause it starts squawking loudly, and Kramer runs back inside\nJerry's place)\n\nsay you've been in the city all winter?\n\nLORETTA\nI was in Maine for a couple days.\n\nGEORGE\nWell... here we are.\n\nLORETTA\nGeorge, I've always fantasized about\njumping into bed with you.\n\nGEORGE\nHo ho!\n\nLORETTA\nBut... I don't want to spoil things\nby sleeping with you too soon.\n\nGEORGE\nAre you sure? 'Cause it could really\nhelp me out of a jam.\n\nLORETTA\nI want to build something with you,\nGeorge.\n\nGEORGE\nOh, not more building.\n\nLORETTA\nAnd I won't take no for an answer.\n\nGEORGE\nNo?\n\nLORETTA\nNo.\n\nGLENN\nIt's a surprise.\n\nELAINE, GIGGLING\nOh.\n\n(a nearby door opens, and a cook throws a garbage bag out into\na trash can;\n\nGlenn immediately goes for the bag)\n\nELAINE\nWhat are you doing? What is that?\n\nGLENN\nIt's a bag of donuts.\n\nELAINE\nIt's garbage.\n\nthe old ones come out right here.\n\nyour last name?\n\nidea how rare this is.\n\nELAINE\nI'll make it out to cash. How 'bout\ntwo hundred bucks? Two-fifty?\n\nELAINE\nMake it three hundred.\n\nthe garbage can of my life.\n\n(the cook comes out again, dumping a bucket of water out in the\nalley, and\n\nsplashing Elaine and Glenn, but they're too wrapped up with each\nother to\n\nnotice)\n\nJerry, at Phil's door, which is answered by a woman wearing cleaning\ngloves\n\nJERRY\nPhil... hi. I-I know we kind of got\noff to a bad start. But your\n\nbird, which is lovely, by the way, made a mess on my door.\n\nPHIL\nAnd?\n\nJERRY\nI thought maybe you'd clean it up,\nor your maid, there.\n\nPHIL\nThat's my wife.\n\nrelationship with a woman you don't like, and you're having an\naffair with a\n\nwoman who won't have sex with you.\n\nGEORGE\nThis isn't going well.\n\nJERRY\nI cannot find my Jerry Lewis cufflinks.\nWithout 'em, I have no in!\n\nname. Jerry!\n\nJERRY\nWhere are you goin'? Help me look.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a big night. I'm, uh, ice skating\nwith one, and going to a\n\nstaged reading of Godspell with the other.\n\nJERRY\nWhich is with who?\n\nGEORGE, LEAVING\nIt doesn't matter.\n\nclean up nice.\n\nJERRY\nI can't go until I find my cufflinks.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, see? I knew you would lose 'em.\nThat's why I took 'em out of\n\nyour dresser drawer and put 'em in my strongbox.\n\nJERRY\nYou're a lifesaver. Would you get them,\nplease?\n\npick up the key.\n\n(in the hall, Jerry and Kramer see Phil and his wife, both crying,\ngoing into\n\ntheir apartment)\n\nKRAMER\nHey, what's going on?\n\nPHIL\nFredo is dead.\n\nJERRY\nThat strange Portuguese guy that lives\nnext-door to the incinerator?\n\nPHIL\nNo! my bird. We just got back from\nthe pet cemetery.\n\nJERRY\nOh, Phil. Mrs. Phil. I'm so sorry.\n\nPHIL\nOh, I'll bet you are! They told us\nhe was poisoned! Something in his\n\nfood.\n\nJERRY\nBut I, I didn't--\n\n(Phil slams the door on Jerry, and Kramer)\n\nJERRY\nKramer, they think I killed Fredo!\nAnd who buries a bird?\n\nKRAMER\nYeah. Just give it to the Portuguese\nguy, and he... puts it in the\n\nincinerator.\n\nJERRY\nJust get the key and let's get out\nhere.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, it's a funny thing about\nthat bird dying. I hid the key in\n\nFredo's food dish. Whew! That's a weird coincidence.\n\nJERRY\nKramer!?\n\nKRAMER\nWhat?\n\nJERRY\nYou killed Fredo!\n\nKRAMER\nFredo was weak and stupid. He shouldn't've\neaten that key.\n\nJERRY\nKramer, I need those cufflinks, but\nnow they're in the box, and the\n\nkey is in the bird. What are we gonna do?\n\nKRAMER\nYou just answered your own question.\n\nJERRY\nOh, no.\n\nodd choices.\n\nLORETTA\nWhat?\n\nGEORGE\nI mean, uh... I had fun ice skating.\n\nGEORGE\nMaura. Oh, my God!

I'm gonna go\n\ncheck it out.\n\n(as Jerry starts to dig, Kramer, still in his tux, walks off,\ntrips over a\n\ntombstone, and tries to appear dignified again)\n\nHoney, one last look, then you have to let Fredo rest in peace.\n\nnow let's cut him open!\n\n'MRS.

So, you're pretty religious?\n\nPUDDY\nThat's right.\n\nELAINE\nSo is it a problem that I'm not really\nreligious?\n\nPUDDY\nNot for me.\n\nELAINE\nWhy not?\n\nPUDDY\nI'm not the one going to hell.\n\nJerry and George are at the coffee shop.\n\nGEORGE\nYou know what I think? I bet she stole\na tractor.\n\nJERRY\nNo one's stealing a tractor, it's a\nfive-mile-an-hour getaway. We're\n\ndancing around the obvious, it's gotta be disfigurement.\n\nGEORGE\nDoes she walk around holding a pen she\nnever seems to need?\n\nJERRY\nNo, she looks completely normal.\n\nGEORGE\nOh. Okay, here it is, I got it. She\nlost her thumbs in a tractor\n\naccident and they grafted her big toes on. They do it every day.\n\nJERRY\nYou think she's got toes for thumbs?\n\nGEORGE\nHow's her handshake? A little firm,\nisn't it? Maybe a little too\n\nfirm?\n\nJERRY\nI don't know.\n\nGEORGE\nHands a little smelly?\n\nJERRY\nWhy do I seek your counsel?\n\nElaine walks in.\n\nELAINE\nWell I'm going to hell.\n\nJERRY\nThat seems about right.\n\nELAINE\nAccording to Puddy.\n\nJERRY\nHey, have you heard the one about the\nguy in hell with the coffee and\n\nthe doughtnuts and--\n\nELAINE\nI'm not in the mood.\n\nGEORGE\nI'll have some coffee and a doughnut.\n\nJERRY\nWhat do you care? You don't believe\nin hell.\n\nELAINE\nI know, but he does.\n\nJERRY\nSo it's more of a relationship problem\nthan the final destination of\n\nyour soul.\n\nELAINE\nWell, relationships are very important\nto me.\n\nJERRY\nMaybe you can strike one up with the\nprince of darkness as you burn for\n\nall eternity.\n\nGEORGE\nAnd a slice of devil's food\n\ncake.\n\nKruger's office. George enters, seeing nobody but Mr. Kruger.\n\nGEORGE\nHey. Where is everyone?\n\nMR. KRUGER\nThey're all off the project. They were\nboring. George, you are my\n\nmain man.\n\nGEORGE\nI am?\n\nMR.

We loved what you\ndid with it.\n\nKRAMER\nI don't believe this, I'm being typecast.\n\nJerry and Sophie are at Jerry's playing chess.\n\nSOPHIE\nI move my knight... here. Check.\n\nJERRY\nThey should update these pieces, nobody\nrides horses anymore. Maybe\n\nthey should change it to a tractor.\n\nSOPHIE\nJerry, are you embarrassed that you're\nlosing?\n\nJERRY\nLosing? You know, yesterday I lost control\nof my car, almost bought the\n\nfarm.\n\nSOPHIE\nBought the farm?\n\nJERRY\nTractor!\n\nSOPHIE\nThis is an odd side of you, Jerry.

So how's the two-man operation\nat Kruger?\n\nGEORGE\nTwo-man? It's all me. Kruger doesn't\ndo anything; Disappears for\n\nhours at a time, gives me fake excuses. This afternoon I found\nhim with sleep\n\ncreases on his face. The only reason I got out to get a bite\ntoday was that he\n\nfinally promised to buckle down and do some actual work. (turning\naround, George\n\nsees Mr. Kruger at a booth eating a piece of cake) Oh, I don't\nbelieve this.\n\nThis is what I have to put up with, Jerry. (He walks over) Mr.\nKruger? Who\n\nsaid he was going to do some actual work today? Who?\n\nMR. KRUGER\nI'm not too worried about it.\n\nGEORGE\nWell I am. Couldn't you try to go through\nsome of that stuff I put in\n\nyour shoebox?\n\nMR. KRUGER\nAlright, alright I'm going.\n\nGEORGE\nHuh-ho! Have you ever seen anything\nlike this?\n\nJERRY\nNever.\n\nElaine's hallway.

This is why you're going\nto hell.\n\nELAINE\nI am not going to hell and if you think\nI'm going to hell, you should\n\ncare that I'm going to hell even though I am not.\n\nPUDDY\nYou stole my Jesus fish, didn't you?\n\nELAINE\nYeah, that's right!\n\nElaine places her hands beside her head, index fingers raised\nas 'horns' and she\n\nemits a gutteral growling sound.\n\nMt Sanai Hospital. The actors are gathered. Mickey is practicing\nhis part.\n\nMICKEY\nOh, my liver! Why did I drink all those\nyears? Why did I look for\n\nlove in a bottle?\n\nDR. WEXLER\nMr. Kramer?

You are doing gonorrhea,\naren't you?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, we'll see.\n\nSTUDENT #2\nSo, what seems to be bothering you today,\nMr. Kramer?\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I guess it\n\nstarted about twenty years ago when I got back from Viet Nam,\nand this was the\n\nonly friend I had left.\n\nMICKEY\nHey! That's my cirrhosis! He's stealing\nmy cirrhosis! (he jumps\n\nKramer) You wanna be sick? I'll make you sick.\n\nThey fall to the floor, wrestling.\n\nSTUDENT #2\nCirrhosis of the liver and PCP addiction?\n\nElaine and Puddy have gone to see a priest, Father Curtis.\n\nFATHER CURTIS\nLet me see if I understand this. You're\nconcerned that he isn't\n\nconcerned that you're going to hell. And you feel that she's\ntoo bossy.\n\nELAINE AND PUDDY\nYeah, that's right.\n\nFATHER CURTIS\nWell, oftentimes in cases of inter-faith\nmarriages, couples have\n\ndifficulty--\n\nELAINE\nWoah, woah, woah! No one's getting married\nhere.\n\nFATHER CURTIS\nYou aren't?\n\nPUDDY\nNo.\n\nELAINE\nWe're just, you know, having a good\ntime.\n\nFATHER CURTIS\nOh, well then it's simple. You're both\ngoing to hell.\n\nPUDDY\nNo way, this is bogus, man!\n\nELAINE\nWell, thank you father.\n\nFATHER CURTIS\nOh, did you hear the one about the new\nguy in hell who's talkng\n\nto the devil by the coffee machine?\n\nPUDDY\nI'm really not in the mood, I'm going\nto hell.\n\nELAINE\nOh, lighten up.

I know about the tractor\nstory and I'm fine with it.\n\nSOPHIE\nHow could you know?\n\nJerry (putting his finger to Sophie's lips, then to his own,\nthen back to\n\nSOPIE'S)\nShh. Shh. Shh. It's not important. What's\nimportant is I'm not\n\ngonna let a little thing like that ruin what could be a very\nlong-term and\n\nmeaningful relationship.\n\nKramer and Mickey barge in, they're in the middle of an argument.\n\nKRAMER\n...I didn't say that, no.\n\nMICKEY\nYou gave me gonorrhea, you didn't even\ntell me!\n\nKRAMER\nWell, I'm sorry. I gave you gonorrhea\nbecause I thought you'd have fun\n\nwith it.\n\nJERRY\nHey, hey! I'm with someone.\n\nKRAMER\nOh. Hello.\n\nSOPHIE\nNo, I understand. This could be a tough\nthing to deal with. The\n\nimportant thing is that you have a partner who's supportive.\n\nKRAMER\nYou know? She's right.\n\nSOPHIE\nUnfortunately, I didn't have a partner.\nI got gonorrhea from a\n\ntractor.\n\nJERRY\nYou got gonorrhea from a tractor?? And\nyou call *that* your tractor\n\nstory??\n\nKRAMER\nYou can't get it from that.\n\nSOPHIE\nBut I did.

You remember George.\n\nSTU\nGeorge, good to see you.\n\nGEORGE\nHello Stu.\n\nSTU\nYou remember Jay Crespi.\n\nGEORGE\nJay Crespi, how am I gonna forget Jay\nCrespi?\n\nSTU\nThis is James Kimbrough.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nNice to meet you, pleasure, thanks for\ncoming in.\n\nGEORGE\nKimbrough.\n\nJERRY\nDon't spell.\n\nGEORGE\nK-I-M-B-R-O-U-G-H\n\nKIMBROUGH\nThat's right.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a talent I have.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nWhy don't we sit down, glad you're here.\n\nGEORGE\nWoo!

It's like\na weapon that thing, got spikes on the\nend. You can get killed from\n\none of those things.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nAnyway, let me tell you why I called.\nWhen I took over here last month, I\nreviewed what was in development,and\nit was pretty much same old, same old.\n\nGEORGE\nBeen there, done that.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nRight. I was looking for something different.\nSomething that would have people talking\nat the water coolers.\n\nGEORGE\nWater coolers?\n\nCRESPI\nWe call it a water-cooler show.\n\nJERRY\nBecause the next day in the offices,\npeople gather around the water coolers\nto talk about it, right?\n\nGEORGE\nSee, I think people would talk about\nit at the coffee machines.\n\nJERRY\nWell it's probably just easier to say\n\"water cooler show\" than \"coffee machine\nshow.\"\n\nGEORGE\nIt's really not accurate. Nobody drinks\nfrom a water cooler any more - they\nuse bottles.\n\nJERRY\nBut I think Mr. Kimbrough makes a good\npoint.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nAnyway, Stu here started telling me\nabout a show, \"Jerry\", that he developed\nfive years ago.\n\nSTU\nI have always loved it.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nHe said it was a show about nothing.\nSo, I saw the pilot and I've got to\ntell you - I flipped out.\n\nCRESPI\nHe totally flipped out.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nWhat I want to do is put it on the air.\n13-episode commitment. Start it off\non Wednesday night, build up an audience.\nThis show needs time to grow. I love that\nKramer guy.\n\nJERRY\nHe's a little off the wall.\n\nCRESPI\nOh yeah.\n\nSTU\nKramer.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nAnd Elaine - I wouldn't mind seeing\nsomething happening between you two.\n\nJERRY\nDefinitely.\n\nGEORGE\nI tell you, I really don't think so-called\nrelationship humor is what this show\nis all about.\n\nKIMBROUGH\nOr we could not do the show altogether,\nhow about that?\n\nGEORGE\nOr we could get them together. Woo!\n\n(George and Jerry attempt a hug outside\nMr. Kimbrough's office)\n\nGEORGE\nYeah!\n\nJERRY\nYeah!\n\n(Elaine is at home using the phone when\nJerry calls to tell her the news)\n\nELAINE\nJill, hi, it's Elaine.

Elaine, it's me.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, I'm on the other line.\n\nJERRY\nNo no - this is an emergency - get off\nthe phone.\n\nELAINE\nI'm sorry, Jill. I'm going to have to\ntake this call. Jerry, what's the emergency?\n\nJERRY\nThe \"Jerry\"'s back on - the TV show!\nGeorge and I are moving to California!\n\nELAINE\nThat's the emergency?\n\nJERRY\nDid you hear what I said?\n\nELAINE\nI was on the other line talking to Jill.\n\nJERRY\nJill? Well, why didn't you say so?\n\nELAINE\nYou said it was an emergency.\n\nJERRY\nSo now she's lost a phone face-off?\nThat's even worse than your cell phone\nwalk-and-talk.\n\n(Jerry is telling his parents the good\nnews about Jerry)\n\nHELEN\nCongratulations, they're doing the show.\n\nMORTY\nThey should have put that show on 5\nyears ago.

She must\nbe about six-six.\n\nHELEN\nShe's not six-six.\n\nMORTY\nJerry, you ever watch that?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, it's pretty good.\n\n(George is telling his parents the news.)\n\nESTELLE\nThey picked up the show?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm moving to California.\n\nFRANK\nOh baby-doll, this kid's going places,\nI told you.\n\nESTELLE\nThe NBC guy liked it?\n\nGEORGE\nOf course he liked it.\n\nESTELLE\nHe told you he liked it?\n\nGEORGE\nHe wouldn't put it on if he didn't like\nit.\n\nESTELLE\nWell, what are you doing?\n\nGEORGE\nI'm writing.\n\nESTELLE\nYou know how to write?\n\nFRANK\nWithout the writing, you have nothing.\nYou're the ones that make them look\ngood.\n\nESTELLE\nSince when do you know how to write?\nI never saw you write anything.\n\nGEORGE\nMa?!\n\nESTELLE\nI don't know how you're going to write\nall those shows. And where are you get\nall the ideas?\n\nFRANK\nWould you leave him alone? You'll shatter\nhis confidence!\n\nGEORGE\nI don't need any ideas. It's a show\nabout nothing.\n\nESTELLE\nNothing. Please. I'll tell you the truth\n- the whole thing sounds pretty stupid\nto me.\n\n(Jerry is on the phone with his agent,\nKramer walks in.)\n\nJERRY\nNBC is letting me use their private\njet? And I can go anywhere I want? That's\nfantastic! Thanks. Great.\n\nOkay, bye.\n\nKRAMER\nOh hey!\n\nJERRY\nHey - how was the beach?\n\nKRAMER\nOh, you missed it, buddy - lot of femininas\n- some major femininas\n\nJERRY\nI had a little meeting today at NBC.\nWhat are you doing?\n\nKRAMER\nYou know, I went swimming and I can't\nget this water out of my ear.\n\nJERRY\nSo do you remember five years ago, we\ndid that pilot, \"Jerry\"? Well, the new\nguy at NBC wants to do it.\n\nThey're putting it on the air! They're\ngiving us a 13-episode commitment. George\nand I are moving to California!\n\nKRAMER\nYou're moving to California?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, only for a while.\n\nKRAMER\nYeah, but Jerry, what happens if the\nshow's a hit? You could be out there\nfor years! You might never come back.\n\nJERRY\nNo, I'll be back.\n\nKRAMER\nJerry. It's L.A. Nobody leaves. She's\na seductress, she's a siren, she's a\nvirgin, she's a whore.\n\nJERRY\nAnd my agent said as a bonus, I can\nuse their private jet, so we'll all\ngo somewhere - the four of us, one big\nfling before George and I go to California.\n\nKRAMER\nFling!\n\n(The group is sitting at their table at Monks)\n\nELAINE\nSo we can go anywhere we want?\n\nJERRY\nAnywhere.\n\nELAINE\nWhy are they doing this?\n\nJERRY\nI think they want to make it up to us\ncause they let this thing sit on their\nshelf for five years.\n\nELAINE\nThis is all very exciting.\n\nGEORGE\nSo? Where are we going?\n\nKRAMER\nI say Japan.\n\nELAINE\nWhy Japan?\n\nKRAMER\nOh - geishas - they cater to your every\nwhim. They're shy at first, but they're\nquite skilled at conversation. They\ncan discuss anything from world affairs\nto the fine art of fishing - or baking.\n\nELAINE\nOh - I got it - how about Russia?\n\nJERRY\nRussia, it's so bleak.\n\nELAINE\nIt's not bleak - it's springtime.\n\nJERRY\nIt's still bleak.\n\nELAINE\nYou can't be bleak in spring.\n\nJERRY\nYou can be bleak in spring.\n\nGEORGE\nIf you're bleak, you're bleak.\n\nELAINE\nWhat about Switzerland?\n\nKRAMER\nOh - Switzerland - the Von Trapp family,\nhuh?\n\nGEORGE\nIt's a bit hilly - no?\n\nELAINE\nYou're not going to do any walking.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat if I want to walk around a little?\n\nELAINE\nSo then you'll walk down the hill and\nwe'll pick you up.\n\nGEORGE\nWhat if I'm at the bottom?\n\nELAINE\nAll right! You know what, just forget\nit!\n\nJERRY\nAlright - come on - come on now, people.\nLet's face it, we're not all going to\nagree on anything.\n\nWhy don't we all just go to Paris?\n\nELAINE\nI'll go to Paris.\n\nGEORGE\nMe too.\n\nKRAMER\nOh yeah - oui oui.\n\nJERRY\nSo that's it - it's settled, we're going\nto Paris.\n\nGROUP\nYeah!\n\n(Elaine walks into Jerry's apartment)\n\nELAINE\nHey. NBC limo is downstairs - beep beep\nbeep. {NBC tune} I'm just going to call\nJill one more time before we go.\n\nJERRY\nWait, you can't make a call like that\non your way out. You can't rush that\nconversation.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I can't call from the limo. Can\nI call from the plane?\n\nJERRY\nFirst you make a cell-phone walk-and-talk,\nthen she loses a call-waiting face-off,\nnow you're talking about\n\na plane call?\n\nELAINE\nAll right, I'll just have to call her\nfrom Paris.\n\n(Knock at the door. Jerry answers.)\n\nNEWMAN\nHello, Jerry.\n\nJERRY\nHello, Newman. What gives?\n\nNEWMAN\nI was speaking earlier with Kramer and\nhe mentioned something about a private\njet to Paris?\n\nJERRY\nYeah, that's right.\n\nNEWMAN\nWell, I hear it's quite beautiful there\nthis time of year, and of course you\nknow I'm one-quarter French.\n\nJERRY\nReally.\n\nNEWMAN\nOh yes, in fact I still have family\nthere. This probably won't interest\nyou, but I have a cousin there who's\nsuffering very badly. She's lost all\nuse of her muscles. She can only communicate\nby blinking. I would so love to see\nher - bring a ray of sunshine into her\ntragic life. But alas, I can't afford\nit, for I am, as you know, but a simple\npostal worker.\n\nJERRY\nThat's a shame.\n\nNEWMAN\nTake me! Take me!\n\nJERRY\nOh, forget it. Pull yourself together.\nYou're making me sick. Be a man!\n\nNEWMAN\nAll right! But hear me and hear me well\n- The day will come. Oh yes, mark my\nwords, Seinfeld - your day of reckoning\nis coming. When an evil wind will blow\nthrough your little playworld, and wipe\nthat smug smile off your face. And I'll be\nthere, in all my glory, watching - watching\nas it all comes crumbling down.\n\n(The group arrives by limo to the airport)\n\nCAPTAIN\nAh, Jerry?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nCAPTAIN\nI'm Captain Maddox this is my co-pilot,\nKurt Adams. Ready to go to Paris?\n\nJERRY\nAll set. We'll just grab the bags.\n\nCAPTAIN\nDon't worry about that. We'll take care\nof them for you.\n\nJERRY\nJust keeps on getting better and better.\n\n(Our heroes enter the plane)\n\nJERRY\nNot bad.\n\nELAINE\nWow!\n\nKRAMER\nThe only way to fly.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is it?\n\n(After take-off, the group chit-chats)\n\nGEORGE\nI'm sorry - I have to say, I'm a little\ndisappointed, I thought it would be\na lot nicer.\n\nJERRY\nYou're complaining about a private jet?\n\nGEORGE\nYou think this is the plane that Ted\nDanson gets?\n\nJERRY\nTed Danson is not even on the network\nanymore.\n\nGEORGE\nStill, I bet when they gave him a plane,\nit was a lot nicer than this one.\n\nELAINE\nWill you shut up? You are ruining the\nwhole trip.\n\nGEORGE\nThis is a real piece of junk. I don't\neven feel safe on this thing. I have\na good mind to write a letter toMr.\nKimbrough.\n\nJERRY\nYou're not writing any letters!\n\nELAINE\nWill you turn around?\n\nGEORGE\nWhy?\n\nELAINE\nYou are annoying me sitting like that.\nIt's effeminate.\n\nGEORGE\nIt's effeminate to sit like this?\n\nELAINE\nYes, I think it's a little effeminate.\n\nGEORGE\nHow is this effeminate?\n\nELAINE\nI don't know - it just is.\n\nGEORGE\nKramer, what are you doing?\n\nJERRY\nStill got water in your ear?\n\nKRAMER\nCan't get rid of it. Maybe it leaked\ninside my brain.\n\nGEORGE\nWould you stop that? It's not safe to\nbe jumping up and down on a plane.\n\nKRAMER\nI got to get it out, I can't take this\nanymore.\n\nGEORGE\nKramer, don't be fooling around up here.\n\nGEORGE\nKramer!\n\nCAPTAIN\nHey, get the hell out of here!\n\nELAINE\nWhat is that?\n\nGEORGE\nOh my God!\n\nELAINE\nWhat is that noise? What is that noise?\n\nJERRY\nKramer, what the hell did you do?\n\nKRAMER\nI lost my balance.\n\nELAINE\nOh my God!\n\nELAINE\nWhat's going on?\n\nJERRY\nKramer!\n\nKRAMER\nIt was an accident.\n\nGEORGE\nI told you to stop with the hopping.\n\nELAINE\nOh my God, we're going down. We're going\nto die!\n\nGEORGE\nJust when I was doing great. I told\nyou God wouldn't let me be successful.\n\nJERRY\nIs this it? Is this how it ends? It\ncan't- it can't end like this.\n\nKRAMER\nI'm ready! I'm ready! Glory hallelujah!\n\nGEORGE\nJerry? Jerry can you hear me?\n\nJERRY\nYeah.\n\nGEORGE\nThere's something I have to tell you.\n\nJERRY\nWhat?

I had to tell\nyou.\n\nJERRY\nGreat - I won.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, I gotta tell you something too.\n\nJERRY\nYeah, Elaine I got something I want\nto say to you.\n\nELAINE\nNo no - me first.\n\nJERRY\nAlright.\n\nELAINE\nJerry, I've always loved ..u..\n\nGEORGE\nHey - What's going on?\n\nKRAMER\nWe're straightening out!\n\nELAINE\nWe're straightening out?\n\nJERRY\nWe're straightening out!\n\nGEORGE\nWe're straightening out!\n\nGROUP\nYeah!\n\n(Outside the plane)\n\nCAPTAIN\nWell, again, sorry about that little\nmishap. But once you get everything\nchecked out there shouldn't be anymore\nproblems.\n\nJERRY\nWhere are we?\n\nCAPTAIN\nLatham, Massachusetts. Why don't you\ntake a cab into town, get yourself something\nto eat. I got your beeper number - I'll\nbeep you as soon as we're ready.\n\nJERRY\nOkay.\n\nELAINE\nOkay.\n\nJERRY\nWe'll see you later.\n\n(In front of a store, in Latham, Massachusetts)\n\nELAINE\nWell, what are we going to do about\nParis? I mean are we actually going\nto get back on this plane?\n\nJERRY\nI say we go back to New York, and take\na regular flight.\n\nGEORGE\nI'm not getting on a regular plane now\n- I'm all psyched up to go on a private\njet. No way I'm getting on a regular\nplane.\n\nELAINE\nWell, I'm sure that they would fly us\nfirst class.\n\nGEORGE\nFirst class doesn't make it anymore.\nNow you get on the phone with Kimbrough,\ntell him what happened and tell him\nto get another plane down here, but\nthis time, the good one - the Ted Danson\nplane.\n\nJERRY\nAlright, I'll feel him out.\n\nGEORGE\nYeah, just tell him to hurry it up.\n\nSTRANGER\nNice day.\n\nJERRY\nAnother one?\n\n(A carjacking takes place in front of the group)\n\nROBBER\nAlright fatso, out of the car.\n\nKRAMER\nI want to capture this.\n\nROBBER\nCome on! Gimme your wallet.\n\nVICTIM\nDon't shoot.\n\nJERRY\nWell, there goes the money for the lipo.\n\nELAINE\nSee, the great thing about robbing a\nfat guy is it's an easy getaway. You\nknow? They can't really chase ya!\n\nGEORGE\nHe's actually doing him a favor. It's\nless money for him to buy food.\n\nROBBER\nI want your wallet. Come on. Come on,\ncome on.\n\nJERRY\nThat's a shame. Alright, I'm gonna call\nNBC.\n\nVICTIM\nOfficer, he's stealing my car! Officer,\nI was carjacked. I was held up at gunpoint!\nHe took my wallet, everything!\n\nJERRY\nOkay, thanks anyway.

What for?\n\nOFFICER\nArticle 223-7 of the Latham County Penal\nCode.\n\nELAINE\nWhat? No, no - we didn't do anything.\n\nOFFICER\nThat's exactly right. The law requires\nyou to help or assist anyone in danger\nas long as it's reasonable todo so.George:\nI never heard of that.\n\nOFFICER\nIt's new. It's called the Good Samaritan\nLaw.

Now,\nessentially, we made it a crime to ignore\na fellow human being in trouble. Now\nthis group from New York not only ignored,\nbut, as we will prove, they actually\nmocked the victim as he was being robbed\nat gunpoint. I can guarantee you one\nother thing, ladies and gentlemen, this\nis not the first time they have behaved\nin this manner. On the contrary, they\nhave quite a record of mocking and maligning.\nThis is a history of selfishness, self-absorption,\nimmaturity, and greed. And you will\nsee how everyone who has come into contact\nwith these four individuals has been\nabused, wronged, deceived and betrayed.\nThis time, they have gone too far. This\ntime they are going to be held accountable.\nThis time, they are the ones who will\n\npay.\n\n(Newman shown eating popcorn)\n\nVANDELAY\nMr. Chiles.\n\nCHILES\nI am shocked and chagrined, mortified\nand stupefied. This trial is outrageous!\nIt is a waste of the taxpayers' time\nand money. It is a travesty of justice\nthat these four people have been incarcerated\nwhile the real perpetrator is walking\naround laughing - lying and laughing,\nlaughing and lying. You know what these\nfour people were? They were innocentbystanders.\nNow, you just think about that term.\nInnocent. Bystanders. Because that's\nexactly what they were. We know theywere\nbystanders, nobody's disputing that.\nSo how can a bystander be guilty? No\nsuch thing. Have you ever heard of a\nguilty bystander? No, because you cannot\nbe a bystander and be guilty. Bystanders\nare by definition, innocent. That is\nthe nature of bystanding. But no, they\nwant to change nature here. They want\nto create a whole new animal - the guilty\nbystander. Don't you let them do it.\nOnly you can stop them.\n\nVANDELAY\nIs the prosecution ready to present\nits first witness?\n\nHOYT\nWe are, Your Honor.

She was not\npresent at the time of\n\nthe incident. Her testimony is irrelevant, irrational, and inconsequential.\n\nHOYT\nYour Honor, the prosecution has gone\nto great lengths and considerable cost\nto find these character witnesses.It\nis imperative that we establish this\nis not merely an isolated incident.\nIt's part of a pattern of anti-social\nbehavior that's been going on for years.\n\nVANDELAY\nObjection overruled.

But I must tell you, Geraldo,\nthis courtroom and everyone who has\nattended this trial is still reeling\nfrom the endless parade of witness who\nhave come forth so enthusiastically\nto testify against these four seemingly\nordinary people.

I do not know how, or under\nwhat circumstances the four of you found\neach other, but your callous indifference\nand utter disregard for everything that\nis good and decent has rocked the very\nfoundation upon which our society is\nbuilt. I can think of nothing more fitting\nthan for the four of youto spend a year\nremoved from society so that you can\ncontemplate the manner in which you\nhave conducted yourselves.\n\nI know I will. This court is adjourned.\n\n(Exit Judge Vandelay)\n\nGEORGE\nYou had to hop! You had to hop on the\nplane.\n\nELAINE\nPuddy, don't wait for me.\n\nPUDDY\nAlright.\n\nFRANK\nWe gotta get out of here.

We'll be out in a year, and then\nwe'll be back\n\nKRAMER\nCould be fun. Don't have to worry about\nyour meals, or what you're going to\ndo Saturday night. And they do shows.\nYeah, we could put on a show - maybe\n\"Bye Bye Birdie\" or \"My Fair Lady\".\nElaine, you could be Liza Doolittle.\n\nELAINE\nWhy don't you just blow it out your...\n\n(They enter the cell)\n\nELAINE\nIf I call Jill from prison, do you think\nthat would make up for the other ones?\n\nJERRY\nSure.\n\nELAINE\nCause you only get one call.

I\nmean when I was a kid my mother wanted\nme to play in the yard. But of\n\ncourse she didn't have to worry about my next door neighbor Tommy\nsticking a shiv in my thigh. And what's with the lockdown? Why\ndo we have to be locked in our cells? Are we that bad that we\nhave to be sent to prison, in prison?\n\nYou would think the weightlifting and the sodomy is enough. So,\nanyone from Cellblock D?\n\nPRISONER 1\nI am.\n\nJERRY\nI'll talk slower. I'm kidding - I love\nCellblock D. My friend George is in\nCellblock D.
