Opening monologue.<br>
Seems to me the way they design the car alarm is so that the car
will behave as<br>
if it was a nervous hysterical person. Anyone goes near it, anyone
disturbs it,<br>
it's aaaaaahhhhhhh! Lights flashing on and off, acting all crazy.
Not<br>
everybody wants to draw that much attention to themselves, wouldn't
it be nice<br>
if you could have a car alarm that was a little more subtle? You
know, somebody<br>
tries to break in, it goes, &quot;Ahem. Ahem. Excuse me?&quot; I
would like a car alarm<br>
like that.<br>
<br>
<br>
First scene.<br>
Jerry and George are entering Jerry's apartment.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Do you believe this? The car was parked right out front.<br>
<br>
George: Was the alarm on?<br>
<br>
Jerry: I don't know, I guess it was on. I don't know my alarm sound;
I'm not<br>
tuned in to it like it's my son.<br>
<br>
George: I don't understand, how do these thieves start the car?<br>
<br>
Jerry: They cross the wires or something.<br>
<br>
George: Cross the wires? I can't even make a pot of spaghetti.<br>
<br>
Kramer enters.<br>
<br>
Jerry: They stole my car.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Who did?<br>
<br>
Jerry: They did.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Was it more than just one?<br>
<br>
Jerry: What should I do, should I call the police?<br>
<br>
Kramer: What are they gonna do?<br>
<br>
Jerry: I'd better call the car phone company, cancel my service.<br>
<br>
George: Maybe you should call your car phone.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, he's probably driving it right now.<br>
<br>
George: Wait a minute, call the car phone, see what happens.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Are you serious?<br>
<br>
George: Yeah, go ahead, call.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I don't even know if I remember the number.<br>
<br>
Jerry dials.<br>
<br>
Jerry: What do I say if he picks up?<br>
<br>
Car thief: Hello?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hello? Is this 555-8383?<br>
<br>
Car thief: I have no idea.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Can I ask you a question?<br>
<br>
Car thief: Sure.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Did you steal my car?<br>
<br>
Car thief: Yes I did.<br>
<br>
Jerry: You did?!<br>
<br>
Car thief: I did.<br>
<br>
Jerry: That's my car!<br>
<br>
Car thief: I didn't know it was yours.<br>
<br>
Jerry: What are you gonna do with it?<br>
<br>
Car thief: I dunno, drive around.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Then can I have it back?<br>
<br>
Car thief: Mmmm, nah, I'm gonna keep it.<br>
<br>
Kramer gestures for Jerry to hand him the phone.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Hello?<br>
<br>
Car thief: Yeah, who's this?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Kramer.<br>
<br>
Car thief: Hello, Kramer.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Listen, there's a pair of gloves in the glove compartment.<br>
<br>
Car thief: Wait, hold on... Brown ones?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Yeah. Listen, could you mail those to me? Or bring them
by my<br>
building, it's 129 West 81st St.<br>
<br>
Car thief: One-two-nine, okay.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Thanks a lot, uh here's Jerry.<br>
<br>
Jerry (derisively at Kramer): Gloves. (Into the phone) Hello?<br>
<br>
Car thief: Jerry?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, let me ask you a question. How do you cross those wires?<br>
<br>
Car thief: I didn't cross any wires, the keys were in it.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Sid left the keys in the car. Alright, I gotta go. Drive
carefully.<br>
<br>
Car thief: Jerry, when's the last time you had a tune-up? Because
I can't find<br>
the--<br>
<br>
Jerry hangs up.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Sid left the keys in the car.<br>
<br>
George: Who's Sid?<br>
<br>
Jerry: He's this guy in the neighborhood, parks cars on the block.<br>
<br>
George: What do you mean?<br>
<br>
Jerry: He moves them from one side of the street to the other so
you don't get<br>
a ticket.<br>
<br>
George: What, do you pay him for that?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, like fifty bucks a month.<br>
<br>
George: How many people does he do that for?<br>
<br>
Jerry: The whole block, forty, fifty cars.<br>
<br>
Kramer: He only works three hours a day. He makes a fortune. Course
<!-- BeginAd01 --><!-- EndAd -->
he's been<br>
doing that for years, right Jerry?<br>
<br>
George: Could anybody do that?<br>
<br>
Sid enters.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hey Sid, what happened?<br>
<br>
Sid: I'm sorry, Jerry. Maybe I'm getting too old for this stuff.<br>
<br>
Jerry: You left the keys in the car?<br>
<br>
Sid: Well, you know they're making that Woody Allen movie in the
block, and all<br>
those people and trucks everywhere, when I saw him I must have got
a little<br>
distracted.<br>
<br>
Kramer: You know I'm in that movie?<br>
<br>
George: You are?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Yeah, I'm an extra.<br>
<br>
George: How'd you get that?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Well, I was just watching them film yesterday and some guy
just asked<br>
me.<br>
<br>
George: Right out of the clear blue sky?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Clear blue sky!<br>
<br>
George: Well, why didn't they ask me?<br>
<br>
Kramer: I got a quality.<br>
<br>
Sid: Jerry, you got insurance, right?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, but no car. I'll have to rent one.<br>
<br>
Sid: Well I'm going down to visit my sister in Virginia next Wednesday,
for a<br>
week, so I can't park it.<br>
<br>
Jerry: This Wednesday?<br>
<br>
Sid: No, next Wednesday, week after this Wednesday.<br>
<br>
Jerry: But the Wednesday two days from now is the next Wednesday.<br>
<br>
Sid: If I meant this Wednesday, I would have said this Wednesday.
It's the<br>
week after this Wednesday.<br>
<br>
George: Sid, who's gonna move the cars while you're away?<br>
<br>
Sid: Whoever wants to move them, why do I care who moves them? They
can move<br>
themselves if they want.<br>
<br>
George: Maybe I could move them until you get back.<br>
<br>
Sid: What's a young man like you want to move cars for? You don't
work?<br>
<br>
George: I'm in a transition phase right now.<br>
<br>
Sid: Well if you want to move the cars, move the cars. Just don't
forget to<br>
take the keys out, that's all.<br>
<br>
Phone rings.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hello? Yeah, the defroster's the one on the bottom, just
slide it all<br>
the way over. You're welcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Jerry and Elaine are in line at the rental car agency.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I'm in awe of his intellect, when he talks it sounds like
he's reading<br>
from one of his novels.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Owen March, I never heard of him.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Well, he's not a baseball player.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, that's true. Well it sounds like it's going pretty
good.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah. Well, there is one little problem.<br>
<br>
Jerry: What's that?<br>
<br>
Elaine: He's sixty-six years old.<br>
<br>
Rental car agent: Next please.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Well, go, go.<br>
<br>
Agent: Can I help you? Name please?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Seinfeld. I made a reservation for a mid-size, and she's
a small. I'm<br>
kidding around, of course.<br>
<br>
Agent: Okay, let's see here.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Sixty-six years old?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah, well, he's in perfect health. He works out, he's vibrant.
You'd<br>
really like him.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Why do people always say that? I hate everyone, why would
I like him?<br>
<br>
Elaine: What do you think, would you go out with a sixty-six year
old woman?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Well, I'll tell you, she would have to be really vibrant.
So vibrant,<br>
she'd be spinning.<br>
<br>
Agent: I'm sorry, we have no mid-size available at the moment.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I don't understand, I made a reservation, do you have my
reservation?<br>
<br>
Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars.<br>
<br>
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have
the<br>
reservation.<br>
<br>
Agent: I know why we have reservations.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a car. See, you
know how to<br>
take the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation
and<br>
that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding.
Anybody<br>
can just take them.<br>
<br>
Agent: Let me, uh, speak with my supervisor.<br>
<br>
The agent goes into an office with a window in the door so she can
be seen<br>
speaking with someone.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Uh, here we go. The supervisor. You know what she's saying
over there?<br>
<br>
Elaine: What?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hey Marge, you see those two people over there? They think
I'm talking<br>
to you, so you pretend like you're talking to me, okay now you start
talking.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Oh, you mean like this? So it looks like I'm saying something
but I'm<br>
not really saying anything at all?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Now you say something else and they won't yell at me 'cause
they thought<br>
I was checking with you.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Okay, that's it. I think that's enough, see you later.<br>
<br>
The agent returns.<br>
<br>
Agent: I'm sorry, my supervisor says there's nothing we can do.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, it looked as if you were in a real conversation over
there.<br>
<br>
Agent: But we do have a compact if you would like that.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Fine.<br>
<br>
Agent: Alright. We have a blue Ford Escort for you Mr. Seinfeld.
Would you<br>
like insurance?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, you better give me the insurance, because I am gonna
beat the hell<br>
out of this car.<br>
<br>
Agent: Please fill this out.<br>
<br>
Elaine: What do you think, you think I'm making a big mistake?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hey, if you enjoy being with him, that's what's important.<br>
<!-- BeginAd02 --><!-- EndAd -->
<br>
Elaine: I love being with him. I mean, I like being with him. It's
okay being<br>
with him.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Elaine and Jerry are at Jerry's apartment.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I just don't enjoy being with him.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Well that's what's important.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I'm meeting him for lunch at Chadway's around the corner,
do I have to<br>
break up with him face to face or can I just wait and do it over
the phone?<br>
<br>
Jerry: How many times you been out with him?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Seven?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Face to face.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Seven dates is a face-to-face break up?<br>
<br>
Jerry: If it was six I could have let you go, but seven, I'm afraid,
is over<br>
the limit. Unless, of course, there was no sex.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Hmm... How's the pasta over there?<br>
<br>
Kramer enters, as he's walking in, George rushes in, pushes him
out of the way<br>
and heads for the kitchen sink.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Whoa, whoa!!<br>
<br>
Jerry: What is going on out there?<br>
<br>
George: I need like a bucket of water! I got a car overheating,
I got an alarm<br>
that won't go off, I'm pressing 'one', I'm pressing 'two', nothing!
What do I<br>
do?! Help me! Help me!<br>
<br>
George runs off into the bathroom.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Hey, you know they were supposed to do my scene today?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Today?!<br>
<br>
Kramer: You know they told me that they wanted me to walk down the
block<br>
carrying this bag of groceries.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah.<br>
<br>
Kramer: So I start to walk, and I trip, and the grocery bag goes
flying, and<br>
Woody, Woody starts laughing.<br>
<br>
Elaine: He was laughing?!<br>
<br>
Kramer: Oh yeah, he was drinking something, it started to come out
of his nose.<br>
<br>
Jerry: So then what?<br>
<br>
Kramer: I got a line in the movie!<br>
<br>
Elaine: Get out!<br>
<br>
Jerry: That's great!<br>
<br>
George: You got a line in the Woody Allen movie?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Pretty good, huh?<br>
<br>
George: You're in the movie? Is he in the scene?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Oh yeah, yeah, it's me and him. I might have a whole new
career on my<br>
hands, huh?<br>
<br>
Jerry: You mean *a* career.<br>
<br>
Elaine: So was Mia Farrow there?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Uh, I didn't see him.<br>
<br>
Elaine: What's your line?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Oh, well uh, okay I'm there with, uh, Woody, you know, I'm
at this bar<br>
and, uh, I'm sit-- you know it's Woody Allen, did I mention that?<br>
<br>
The other three impatiently encourage Kramer to continue.<br>
<br>
Kramer: So I'm sitting there with Woody and I say, I turn to him
and I go,<br>
&quot;Boy, these pretzels are making me thirsty.&quot;<br>
<br>
George: Is that how you're gonna say it?<br>
<br>
Kramer: No, no, I'm working on it.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Do it like this. &quot;These pretzels are making me thirsty.&quot;<br>
<br>
Jerry: No. &quot;These pretzels are making me thirsty.&quot;<br>
<br>
Kramer: No, no. See, that's no good. See, you don't know how to
act.<br>
<br>
George: &quot;These pretzels are making me thirsty!!&quot;<br>
<br>
Jerry pinches his nose.<br>
<br>
George: That was no good? <br>
<br>
Kramer: I didn't say anything.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I'm gonna go break up with Owen.<br>
<br>
George: What was wrong with that? I had a different interpretation!
Do you<br>
know anything about this pretzel guy?! Maybe he's been in the bar
a really long<br>
time and he's really depressed because he has no job and no woman
and he's<br>
parking cars for a living! (out the window to honking cars) Alright!
Alright! <br>
Shut up! Shut up! I hear you! I'm coming down! These pretzels are
making me<br>
thirsty!<br>
<br>
George storms out.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene. <br>
Still Jerry's apartment, some time later. There's a pounding on
the door, Jerry<br>
opens it and Elaine enters with an unconscious older man.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh my god.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Call an ambulance.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Boy, he took it hard.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Owen is now lying on Jerry's couch and Elaine is explaining what
happened.<br>
<br>
Elaine: We were walking down the block right by your house and I
was just about<br>
to break up with him then all of a sudden he started to twitch.<br>
<br>
Jerry (on the phone): Hello? Yes, I need an ambulance at one twenty
nine west<br>
Eighty-first Street, apartment five-A.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Tell then to hurry! Hurry!<br>
<br>
Jerry (To Elaine): It's an ambulance. (To the operator) I don't
know but he's<br>
unconscious.<br>
<br>
Kramer enters.<br>
<br>
Kramer: These pretzels are making me thirsty. (He bites into a pretzel.)
Boy,<br>
these pretzels are making me thirsty.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Kramer.<br>
<br>
Kramer: What happened here?<br>
<br>
Elaine: I don't know, I don't know, what should we do? We called
an ambulance,<br>
does anyone know first aid?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Shouldn't you do something with the extremities?<br>
<br>
Elaine: What extremities?<br>
<br>
Kramer: What's an extremity?<br>
<br>
Jerry: You raise the feet, get blood to the head.<br>
<br>
Kramer: You raise the head, you get blood to the feet.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Okay, what about a cold compress? They always do that.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I don't have a washcloth.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Well use a paper towel.<br>
<br>
Jerry: You can't put a paper towel on his head.<br>
<!-- BeginAd03 --><!-- EndAd -->
<br>
Kramer: What about a big sponge?<br>
<br>
Jerry: How you gonna hold it on there?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Use a belt.<br>
<br>
Elaine: No no no no no, that'll, it'll drip all over him.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Should we walk him around?<br>
<br>
Elaine and Kramer (at the same time): Yes, yes.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Yeah, I've seen them do that.<br>
<br>
Jerry: No, no that's for a drug overdose.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Maybe that's what he's got.<br>
<br>
Elaine: No no no no, Kramer, I just had lunch with him, he didn't
leave the<br>
table.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Well he could have dropped acid when you weren't looking.<br>
<br>
Elaine: He is not a drug addict!<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hey, you know what? Maybe he's a diabetic, he might just
need a cookie<br>
or something.<br>
<br>
Elaine: A cookie!<br>
<br>
Kramer: Can you give him a cookie?<br>
<br>
Elaine: How's he gonna chew it?<br>
<br>
Jerry: We'll move his teeth, it happened to my uncle, the sugar
revived him.<br>
<br>
Kramer puts a cookie into Owen's mouth and starts working his jaw
up and down.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Careful, you're getting crumbs all over him.<br>
<br>
Kramer: I got him chewing but I don't think he's gonna swallow.<br>
<br>
Elaine: You know what, let's put a few cookies in a blender and
he could drink<br>
it.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Cookies don't liquefy.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yes they do, you can liquefy a cookie.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Alright I'll get a blender.<br>
<br>
Jerry: What blender? I don't have a blender.<br>
<br>
Kramer: You got a blender.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I would know if I had a blender.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Where is the ambulance?!<br>
<br>
Just then a siren can be heard followed by a skidding sound followed
by a<br>
crashing sound.<br>
<br>
The frame dissolves out and in as if to show time passing.<br>
<br>
Jerry (on phone): Hello, yes, I called for an ambulance like thirty-five<br>
minutes ago.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I can't believe what's going on out here.<br>
<br>
Jerry: This is an emergency, what's taking so long? (the door buzzer
buzzes) <br>
Wait a second, maybe that's them. (presses button) Hello?<br>
<br>
Voice: Paramedics.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Come on up. Okay, they're here.<br>
<br>
Elaine: He seems to be breathing.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Ya know, I gotta tell you, he's a pretty good-looking guy.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I know.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Those eyebrows could use a trimming, you ever mention that
to him?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Almost.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hey, look at this, c'mon, running wild there.<br>
<br>
Elaine: It's not an easy thing to bring up.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, that's true.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Aw, you should see his bathrobe, man, it's all silk.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah? Does he wear slippers? I bet he wears slippers.<br>
<br>
Elaine: He does, how'd you know that?<br>
<br>
Jerry: I could tell.<br>
<br>
Two paramedics enter with a stretcher.<br>
<br>
Elaine: What happened, what took you so long?!<br>
<br>
Paramedic: We got here twenty minutes ago but we couldn't move,
the whole<br>
intersection is gridlocked, I've never seen anything like it. So
finally we<br>
make the turn and this guy who's running around triple-parking cars
slammed into<br>
us with a blue Escort.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Blue Escort? That's my rent-a-car!<br>
<br>
George enters, blotting his forehead with a washcloth.<br>
<br>
George: Oh man.<br>
<br>
Jerry: What happened to the car?<br>
<br>
George: Sorry, you don't know what's going on out there! (looks
at Owen) <br>
Who's he?<br>
<br>
Elaine: This guy I'm seeing.<br>
<br>
George: What happened?<br>
<br>
Jerry: We don't know!<br>
<br>
Paramedic: Who put cookies in his mouth?<br>
<br>
Jerry and Elaine: Cookies?<br>
<br>
Paramedic: You're not supposed to do that.<br>
<br>
Jerry: So how'd you hit the car?<br>
<br>
George: I was moving it across the street, I looked up and I saw
Woody Allen<br>
and I got all distracted.<br>
<br>
Jerry: It's not even my car, it's a rental.<br>
<br>
Kramer enters.<br>
<br>
Kramer: What are you doing out there?! You're holding up the production
of the<br>
movie! We can't shoot and Woody, he's really mad at you.<br>
<br>
George: Woody mentioned me? What did he say?<br>
<br>
Kramer: He said, 'Who's the moron in the blue jacket who's got the
street all<br>
screwed up?'<br>
<br>
George: Should I apologize to Woody?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Alright, I'll tell you what. Next time I talk to him, maybe
I'll bring<br>
it up. I'll feel him out.<br>
<br>
<br>
Mid-episode Monologue.<br>
What do you think first aid was like though, like hundreds of years
ago? You<br>
know, I mean they had no medicine, no drugs, no technology, no equipment.
<br>
Basically, they were there first. That was it, that was the whole
first aid. <br>
They sit with you. That's all they could do. 'Can you help me?'
'No, no we<br>
can't help you, we were the first ones here, I don't know if you
know that. Did<br>
you see out truck? First aid, that's our motto. We show up before
anybody.'<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Jerry, George and Sid are in Jerry's apartment. <br>
<br>
Sid: Now you didn't tell me you didn't know how to drive. You should
have<br>
mentioned that.<br>
<br>
George: Well I know how to drive.<br>
<br>
Sid: Then how'd all those cars get damaged? Why are people calling
me up<br>
screaming on the phone? Most of them cancelled out on me.<br>
<br>
<!-- BeginAd04 --><!-- EndAd -->
Jerry: Can I get anybody anything?<br>
<br>
Sid: Moving cars from one side of the street to the other don't
take no more<br>
sense than putting on a pair of pants. My question to you is who's
putting your<br>
pants on?<br>
<br>
George: I put my pants on, Sid.<br>
<br>
Sid: I don't believe you. If you can put your pants on, you can
move those<br>
cars.<br>
<br>
George: Well I don't want to get into a big dispute about the pants.<br>
<br>
Sid: Who's gonna send money to my sister in Virginia? Her little
boy needs<br>
surgery on his foot. Now he'll be walking around with a limp because
you can't<br>
park a few cars.<br>
<br>
George: Maybe I could call my father.<br>
<br>
Kramer enters holding a newspaper.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Hey, you seen the paper yet?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Interestingly enough, no, inasmuch as it is my paper.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Yeah. There's an article in there about that writer.<br>
<br>
Jerry (reading) Owen March, prominent author and essayist suffered
a stroke<br>
yesterday in the upper West Side apartment of a friend.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Uh huh, that's the guy that was here. You're the friend.<br>
<br>
Jerry (continuing): The extent of the damage would have been far
less severe<br>
had paramedics been able to reach him sooner.<br>
<br>
Sid: Oh lord.<br>
<br>
Jerry (finishing): The commotion also delayed production of a Woody
Allen movie<br>
that was shooting up the block. A spokeswoman for the legendary
filmmaker said<br>
that Mr. Allen was extremely agitated and wondered if his days of
shooting<br>
movies in New York were over.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Elaine and Jerry are back at the car rental agency, Jerry's eating
a bag of<br>
pretzels.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Five seconds. Jerry, I was five seconds away from breaking
up with<br>
him. Five seconds. The next words out of my mouth were, 'Owen, it's
over.'<br>
<br>
Jerry: Can he communicate?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah, well, he nods. And I think he understands me, he seems
to enjoy<br>
it when I read to him.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Alright, she's free. (Steps up to the counter) Hi, I called
before,<br>
uh, my car got smashed.<br>
<br>
Elaine: So listen, what should I do? I mean if I break up with him
now it'll<br>
look like I'm abandoning him because of his condition, I'll be ostracized
from<br>
the community.<br>
<br>
Jerry: What community? There's a community?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Of course there's a community.<br>
<br>
Jerry: All these years I'm living in a community, I had no idea.<br>
<br>
Agent: Sir the estimate on the damage to your car is two thousand
eight hundred<br>
and sixty-six dollars.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hmm, well, I got the insurance and everything so...<br>
<br>
Agent: Yes, now, uh, in your report you said that you were not the
driver of<br>
the car at the time of the accident.<br>
<br>
Jerry: That is right, somebody else was driving.<br>
<br>
Agent: Alright, well, sir, you're only covered for when you're driving
the car.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Uh huh, what's that?<br>
<br>
Agent: You're not covered for other drivers.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Other drivers?<br>
<br>
Agent: Um hm.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Your whole business is based on other drivers. It's a rented
car. <br>
That's who's driving it, other drivers. Doesn't my credit card cover
me or<br>
something?<br>
<br>
Agent: Not that particular one.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Well I got a hundred cards, here, pick a card, take a card,
any card you<br>
want, go ahead, whichever one, I don't care.<br>
<br>
Agent: Sir, if you had read the rental agreement--<br>
<br>
Jerry: Did you see the size of that document? It's like the Declaration
of<br>
Independence, who's gonna read that?<br>
<br>
Agent: Mr. Seinfeld, as it stands right now, you are not covered
for that<br>
damage and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about that.<br>
<br>
Jerry: These pretzels are making me thirsty.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Elaine and Owen are at Owen's apartment, Owen is in a wheelchair
and in<br>
generally unresponsive as Elaine feeds him soup.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Ahh, it's good, isn't it? Yankee Bean. Why Yankee Bean,
huh? Don't<br>
they have beans in the south? I mean if you order Yankee Bean in
the south, are<br>
they offended? Huh? (singing) Yankee Bean, Yankee Bean, I like my
Yankee<br>
Bean. (she puts the bowl down and wipes Owen's mouth with a napkin)
Owen, I<br>
think we have to talk. I mean, uh, *I* have to talk. It would be
nice if *we*<br>
could, but, uh, whatever. Um, don't get me wrong, I like coming
here, and uh,<br>
feeding you and cleaning a little, and paying your bills, that's
good stuff. <br>
Good stuff! I have a wonderful time when I'm with you, wonderful!
But at this<br>
point in my life, I'm not really sure that I'm ready to make a commitment
to one<br>
person. I'm just not really sure that we have enough in common.
For example, I<br>
like running in the park, bicycling, roller skating, tennis and
skiing, and um,<br>
well, I'm gonna be brutally honest with you now, Owen, it's a bitch
to get here. <br>
It's two subways. I have to transfer at Forty-second Street to take
the<br>
double-R. Anyway, I mean, this doesn't mean we can't be friends.
These<br>
pretzels are making me thirsty.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Coffee shop. Elaine, Jerry and George are at their usual booth.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Can you die from an odor? I mean, like if you were locked
in a<br>
vomitorium for two weeks, could you actually die from the odor?<br>
<br>
Jerry: An overdose of odor? Good question.<br>
<br>
George: Do I smell?<br>
<br>
Elaine: No no no no, I was just down on the forty-second street
subway today,<br>
it is disgusting. Guess who I bumped into. Owen.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Ahh.<br>
<br>
George: He's alright?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah, he's almost fully recovered. He told me he was just
using me for<br>
sex.<br>
<br>
The waitress brings the check.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Let me get that.<br>
<br>
George: No no no, I got it.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Please.<br>
<br>
<!-- BeginAd05 --><!-- EndAd -->
George: No come on, let me, let me. I smashed your car, it cost
you over two<br>
thousand dollars, <br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, a cup of coffee should cover it.<br>
<br>
Kramer enters and sits down.<br>
<br>
Jerry: What are you doing here?<br>
<br>
Kramer: I got fired from the movie.<br>
<br>
George: Get out of here, why?<br>
<br>
Kramer: Well, you know they were gonna shoot it today, and uh, we
rehearsed it<br>
twice, then Woody yells 'Action!' and I turn to him and I say, 'These
pretzels<br>
are making me thirsty' and I took a swig of beer, ya know, and I
slammed the<br>
glass down on the bar and it shattered.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Aww.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Well, one of the pieces must have hit Woody. He started
crying. And<br>
he yells out, 'I'm bleeding' and he runs off. Anyway, this woman,
she came up<br>
to me and she says, 'You're fired.' Boy I really nailed that scene.<br>
<br>
Kramer drops a pair of gloves on the table. Jerry picks up the gloves.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Aw, wait a--. Oh. Oh, for crying out loud.<br>
<br>
<br>
Closing monologue.<br>
<br>
I think the best part of a relationship is when you're sick. And
the best part<br>
of being sick is when you're in a relationship. And if I was to
get married,<br>
you know all those vows; for richer or for poorer, for better or
for worse, all<br>
I need is the sickness. That, to me, is the most important one.
Do you take<br>
this man in sickness? That's the only time I need somebody there.
Rest of the<br>
time, go out, have a ball, do whatever you want, but if I get the
sniffles, you<br>
better be there.<br>
<br>
End.
