<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>[Setting: Monk's Coffee shop]</p>
<p>(Jerry and Kramer are sitting opposite Elaine at a booth, eating
lunch)</p>
<p>JERRY: (To Elaine) Let me ask you a question.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Mm-hm.</p>
<p>JERRY: You're a hostage, captured by terrorists-</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Smiling, chewing) Who, me?</p>
<p>JERRY: You, anybody - whatever. You're in the little room, you're
chained to the floor, you're there for a long time.. do you think
they would ever consider doing</p>
<p>the laundry?</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Matter-of-factly) They have to, it's in the Geneva Convention.</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Imitating a Turkish terrorist) You! Take off your socks,
your pants, your underwear. We're doing the wash. C'mon! Take it
off, take it off!</p>
<p>(Jerry and Elaine both laugh at Kramer's impression as George slowly
enters. He's in a melancholy state)</p>
<p>KRAMER: Hey, Georgie.</p>
<p>JERRY AND ELAINE: Hi.</p>
<p>(George sits down next to Elaine - opposite Kramer)</p>
<p>JERRY: (To George) What's the matter?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Slowly shakes his head) My mother caught me.</p>
<p>JERRY: &quot;Caught&quot; you? Doing what?</p>
<p>GEORGE: You know. (All three give him blank stares) I was alone..</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Making a face of surprise) You mean..?!</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Nods) Uh-huh.</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Laughing) She caught you?</p>
<p>(Elaine laughs with Kramer)</p>
<p>JERRY: Where?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Not really wanting to embellish) ..I stopped by the house
to drop the car off, and I went inside for a few minutes.. Nobody
was there - they're supposed</p>
<p>to be working. (Jerry and Elaine look at each other - enjoying
the story) My mother had a Glamour magazine, I started leafing through
it..</p>
<p>JERRY: &quot;Glamour&quot;?</p>
<p>(Kramer and Elaine laugh slightly)</p>
<p>GEORGE: ..So, one thing lead to another..</p>
<p>JERRY: So, what did she do?</p>
<p>GEORGE: First she screams, &quot;George, what are you doing?! My
God!&quot; And it looked like she was gonna faint - she started
clutching the wall, trying to hang onto it.</p>
<p>KRMAER: (Reflecting on the story so far) Man..</p>
<p>GEORGE: I didn't know whether to try and keep her from falling,
or zip up.</p>
<p>JERRY: What did you do?</p>
<p>GEORGE: I zipped up!</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Wide-eyed) So, she fell?</p>
<p>GEORGE: Yeah. (Noticing this makes him out to be the bad kid, he
gets defensive) Well, I couldn't run over there the way I was!</p>
<p>ELAINE: No, I guess you couldn't have..</p>
<p>JERRY: (In the middle of Elaine's sentence, smiling) No, I wouldn't
think so.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Finishing it off) ..done that.</p>
<p>GEORGE: So, she fell, and then she started screaming, &quot;My
back! My back!&quot; So, I picked her up and took her to the hospital.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Between chuckles) How is she?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Somewhat angered) She's in traction.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Still laughing) Ok, I'm sorry.</p>
<p>GEORGE: It's not funny, Elaine.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Stifling her laughter) I know. I'm sorry. I'm serious.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Her back went out. She's gotta be there for a couple of
days. All she said on the way over in the car was, &quot;Why, George,
why?!&quot;.. I said, &quot;Because it's</p>
<p>there!&quot;</p>
<p>(Kramer laughs, sipping his drink)</p>
<p>JERRY: &quot;Glamour&quot;?</p>
<p>(Elaine laughs)</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Vowing) Well, I'll tell you this, though - I am never
doing.. that , again.</p>
<p>ELAINE: What, you mean, in your mother's house, or all together?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Definite) All together.</p>
<p>(The next three lines are said at the exact same time)</p>
<p>ELAINE: Oh, gimme a break..</p>
<p>JERRY: (Skeptical) Ohhh yeah.. right.</p>
<p>KRAMER: Oh, like you're gonna stop?</p>
<p>JERRY AND ELAINE: C'mon..</p>
<p>GEORGE: You don't think I can?</p>
<p>JERRY: No chance.</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Daring) You think you could?</p>
<p>JERRY: Well, I know I could hold out longer than you.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Care to make it interesting?</p>
<p>JERRY: Sure, how much?</p>
<p>GEORGE: A hundred dollars.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Pointing) You're on.</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Butting in) Wait a second, wait a second. Count me in
on this. (Clicks his tongue)</p>
<p>JERRY: You?</p>
<p>KRAMER: Yeah.</p>
<p>JERRY: You'll be out before we get the check.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Smiling) I want to be in on this, too.</p>
<p>GEORGE AND JERRY: (Rejecting) Ohh, no. No, no, no..</p>
<p>ELAINE: Why?</p>
<p>JERRY: (Showing difference) It's apples and oranges..</p>
<p>ELAINE: What? Why? (More 'no, no, no's from Jerry and George. Persistent)
Why?</p>
<p>JERRY: Because you're a woman!</p>
<p>ELAINE: So what?</p>
<p>JERRY: It's easier for a woman not to do it than a man.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Sarcastic) Oh.</p>
<p>JERRY: We have to do it. It's part of our lifestyle. It's like,
uh.. shaving.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Oh, that is such bologna. I shave my legs.</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Making a point) Not everyday.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Alright, look, you want to be in?</p>
<p>ELAINE: Yeah!</p>
<p>GEORGE: You gotta give us odds. At least two to one - you gotta
put up two-hundred dollars.</p>
<p>KRAMER: No, a thousand!</p>
<p>ELAINE: No, I'll - I'll put up one-fifty.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Alright, you're in for one-fifty.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Nodding) Okay, one-fifty.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Alright, now, how are we gonna monitor this thing?</p>
<p>JERRY: Well, obviously, we all know each other very well, (Elaine
slightly laughs) I'm sure that we'll all feel comfortable within
the confines of the honor system.</p>
<p>KRAMER: Alright. (Holds out his pinkie at the center of the table)</p>
<p>(Jerry, Elaine, and George all hook their pinkies onto his, in
a 'pinkie promise', they all pull their hand away, yelling out &quot;Yeah!&quot;)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's apartment]</p>
<p>(Jerry's sitting on the couch, eating cereal while George is on
the phone with his mother)</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Stern) No, ma, I'm not gonna see a psychiatrist. N- I
don't care if you do pay for it! No! Discussion over. Yeah, alright,
I'll see you later. Yes, of course</p>
<p>I'm gonna come by. Alright. (Hangs up, slamming it down on the
coffee table. He sits down next to Jerry) My mother wants me to
see a psychiatrist now. Why?!</p>
<p>Because she caught me? (Scoffs, shaking his head) You know, if
everyone who did that had to go see a psychiatrist.. (Laughing,
he snorts)</p>
<p>JERRY: (Waits for the rest of the sentence) ..Yeah?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Defensively) Whatever.</p>
<p>(Intercom buzzes, Jerry gets up to answer it)</p>
<p>JERRY: How is she?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Shrugging it off) She'll be fine. I gotta go to the hospital
to see her tonight.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Answering to the intercom) Yeah?</p>
<p>ELAINE: It's me.</p>
<p>JERRY: Come on up. (Lets her in by unlocking the front door)</p>
<p>GEORGE: Hey, what are you doing tonight?</p>
<p>JERRY: (Opens his door slightly for Elaine) Dating Marla.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Oh, the virgin?</p>
<p>JERRY: Yeah.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Any, uh.. progress, there? What's the latest?</p>
<p>JERRY: Well, I got my troops amassed along the border - I'm just
waiting for someone to give me the go-ahead.</p>
<p>(Kramer enters, heading for Jerry's window)</p>
<p>KRAMER: Hey, look at this, c'mere. There's a naked woman across
the street.</p>
<p>(George and Jerry quickly join him at the window)</p>
<p>JERRY: Where?</p>
<p>KRAMER: Second floor from the top. (Pointing) See the window on
the left?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (In awe) Wow!</p>
<p>JERRY: (Also amazed) Who walks around the house like that?!</p>
<p>(All eyes are glued to the woman)</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Suggesting) Maybe she's a nudist. You know, those nudist
colony people..</p>
<p>KRAMER: ..Yeah.. (Pause) yeah.. (Slowly stands up, and walks out
Jerry's apartment - leaving Jerry and George with the view, he shuts
the door behind him)</p>
<p>JERRY: Hey, let me ask you a question. In these nudist colonies,
do they eat naked in the dining room?</p>
<p>GEORGE: I would imagine it's all naked.</p>
<p>JERRY: What about the chamber maids? Are they naked, too?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Still focused on the nudist) They're naked, the gardeners
naked.. the bellhops. (Jerry makes a noise of astonishment) One
big nude-a-rama.</p>
<!-- BeginAd01 --><!-- EndAd -->
<p>(Elaine enters)</p>
<p>ELAINE: Hey.</p>
<p>JERRY AND GEORGE: (Only turning back for a second) Hey.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Well, (Smiling) where's my money? Who caved?</p>
<p>JERRY: (Over his shoulder) Not me.</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Also, over his shoulder) Not me.</p>
<p>ELAINE: What're you looking at?</p>
<p>JERRY: There's a naked woman across the street.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Smiling, chuckling) This is gonna be the easiest money
I've ever made in my life. (Moving on to a new topic) So, my fried,
Joyce, is teaching an aerobics</p>
<p>class. I'm gonna go tonight.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Commenting) Yeah.. the - the waitress should've taken it
back.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Realizes Jerry and George aren't paying attention) So
then, I got a call this morning. You know, I was, uh, chosen to
go on the space shuttle. We're goin'</p>
<p>to Mars.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Still staring at the woman) Uh-huh.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Have a good time.</p>
<p>(Kramer casually enters, takes a few step toward the kitchen, and
slaps a wad of bills onto the counter)</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Declaring) I'm out!</p>
<p>(Kramer now has the attention of everyone in the room. Jerry's
mouth is open in shock. A moment passes)</p>
<p>ELAINE: What?!</p>
<p>KRAMER: Yeah, I'm out - I'm out of the contest.</p>
<p>GEORGE: You're out?!</p>
<p>KRAMER: Yeah, yeah.. (Notes their reactions) what?</p>
<p>ELAINE: Well, that was fast!</p>
<p>JERRY: Well, it was that woman across the street. (To Jerry) You
know, you better be careful, buddy. She's gonna get you next. (Walks
out, shutting the door</p>
<p>behind him)</p>
<p>(Jerry, Elaine, and George all look at each other, reflecting)</p>
<p>ELAINE: ..And then there were three.</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Hospital room]</p>
<p>(Estelle is on a hospital bed. George, sitting back in a chair,
is visiting her)</p>
<p>ELAINE: I don't understand you. I really don't. You have nothing
better to do at three o' clock in the afternoon? I go out for a
quart of milk, I come home, and find</p>
<p>my son treating his body like it was an amusement park!</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Stern, trying to shut her up) Ma.</p>
<p>ESTELLE: Don't give me &quot;Ma&quot;. It's a good thing I didn't
hit the table. I could of cracked my head open.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Ma, people can hear you.</p>
<p>ESTELLE: (Heavy in sarcasm) Too bad you can't do that for a living.
You'd be very successful at it. You could sell out Madison Square
Garden. Thousands of</p>
<p>people could watch you! You could be a big star!</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Getting up) Alright, Ma, that's enough!</p>
<p>ESTELLE: I want you to go see a psychiatrist.</p>
<p>GEORGE: No! I am not going to see a psychiatrist!</p>
<p>ESTELLE: Why? Why not?! Why won't you go?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Like a kid) Because I don't want to.</p>
<p>ESTELLE: I want you to go see somebody.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Well, I am not going.</p>
<p>ESTELLE: It's a good thing your father's in Chicago.</p>
<p>(George's cousin, Shelly, enters)</p>
<p>SHELLY: Hello, Aunt Estelle. Look at you - how did this happen?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Snapping) Is that important, really? What is this, a police
investigation? The woman's been through enough. She has to relive
the experience now?!</p>
<p>(On the other side of a curtain divider, the silhouette of a shapely
nurse can be seen entering)</p>
<p>NURSE: Hi, Denise. Six-thirty, time for your sponge bath.</p>
<p>(The shadow of a patient awakening can be seen)</p>
<p>DENISE: Mmm.. is it six-thirty already? I fell asleep.</p>
<p>(The two women go about preparing the sponge bath. George is visibly
affected - breathing heavily, and staring at them through the curtain)</p>
<p>SHELLY: (Seems not to notice what's going on beyond the divider)
So, George, what are you doing now? I hear you got some kinda television,
writing - thing?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Slowly backing away, he's not at all committed to the
conversation) Yeah.. television.</p>
<p>(The patient, Denise, is trying to get her gown off)</p>
<p>NURSE: Let me help you out with that. Here, just slip it over your
head..</p>
<p>DENISE: Oh.. thank you.</p>
<p>SHELLY: (Nodding) Well, it's about time. We thought you were gonna
wind up on the street. (As the bath is going on, George is now completely
mesmerized)</p>
<p>What is it you're doing, exactly?</p>
<p>(A moment passes. George seems not to have heard his cousin)</p>
<p>ESTELLE: George, you're cousin, Shelly, is talking to you!</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: New York Health Club]</p>
<p>(Elaine, dressed for a work-out, is signing forms while talking
with her friend, Joyce)</p>
<p>JOYCE: So, when was the last time you took a class?</p>
<p>ELAINE: Oh, it's been a while.</p>
<p>JOYCE: (Overly excited) Are you psyched?</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Fake excitement) Yeah. yeah, I'm really.. psyched.</p>
<p>JOYCE: Well, you're gonna thank me for getting you in here.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Why is that?</p>
<p>JOYCE: (Pointing, she directs Elaine's attention off-camera) See
the guy with the dark hair and the red shorts?</p>
<p>(Elaine looks over, and her jaw drops to the floor. Breathless,
she turns back to her friend)</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Between breaths) Oh, my God. (Joyce nods) John F. Kennedy
Junior's here!</p>
<p>JOYCE: He's gonna be in your class today.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Still unable to speak right) In my class? John Kennedy's
gonna be in my class?!</p>
<p>JOYCE: I can get you a spot right behind him. He has got a great
butt.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Yeah. Butt. Butt. Great butt. John-John's butt.</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's car]</p>
<p>(Stationary, Jerry's girlfriend, Marla, and him are making out.
After some deep kissing, Marla breaks away)</p>
<p>MARLA: Let's slow it down a little.</p>
<p>JERRY: &quot;Slow it down&quot;?</p>
<p>MARLA: Well, (Reminding him of her virginity) You know..</p>
<p>JERRY: Ah, yeah.. I know.</p>
<p>MARLA: You're okay with that, right?</p>
<p>JERRY: Yeah, yeah.. of course. What, do you think I care about
the sex? What kind of person do you think I am? That doesn't mean
anything to me. (Faint) I don't</p>
<p>care about that.</p>
<p>MARLA: So, I'll see you Saturday night, then?</p>
<p>JERRY: (Smiling, nodding) Sure, Saturday night.</p>
<p>MARLA: Alright, then. Good night.</p>
<p>JERRY: Goodnight. (She gets out. Jerry leans forward, adding) Not
just a good night - a great night. (She shuts the door, he waves)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's bedroom]</p>
<p>(Jerry, in the middle of the night, is moving around - unable to
get to sleep, he's restless. Scene cuts to George. He's wide awake,
and staring at the ceiling. Cut to</p>
<p>Elaine. She's settling into bed, unable to get to sleep. The scene
takes a final cut to Kramer. He's sound asleep)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's apartment]</p>
<p>(Jerry's in a grouchy mood. Kramer enters)</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Singing) Goood Moorrrnninng!</p>
<p>JERRY: (Out of it) Yeah, good morning.</p>
<p>KRAMER: Ha, ha! Nothing like some good solid sack time. (Turns
toward Jerry's window)</p>
<p>JERRY: She's not there. She's doin' her wash.</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Turning back to Jerry) Oh. So, did you make it through
the night?</p>
<p>JERRY: (Over the top) Yes, I'm proud to say I did!</p>
<p>KRAMER: So, you're still master of your domain.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Nodding) Yes. Yes I am. (Kramer chuckles) Master of my
domain. But I will tell you this: I am going over to (Gestures to
the nudist) her apartment, and</p>
<p>I'm tellin' her to put those shades down!</p>
<p>KRAMER: Woah, woah, woah. What-what did you just say?</p>
<p>JERRY: I can't take it anymore! She's driving me crazy! I can't
sleep, I can't leave the house, and I' here, I'm climbin' the walls.
Meanwhile, I'm dating a virgin, I'm in</p>
<p>this contest - something's gotta give!</p>
<p>KRAMER: Do you hear what you're saying?! Can you hear it?! (Jerry
puts on his coat) This is a beautiful woman walking around naked,
and you want to tell her to</p>
<p>stop?! That's the dumbest thing I ever heard! I mean, think comprehens-
I'm not gonna let you do it.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Persistent) Well, I'm doin' it, get out of my way.</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Stopping him) No, no, no, no. You can't! You can't! This
is something that comes about once in a lifetime! When we were boys,
looking through our</p>
<p>bedroom windows, we would think: &quot;Why can't there be a woman
out there, taking her clothes off?&quot; And now that wish's come
true, and you want to (Makes a</p>
<p>noise) throw it away?!</p>
<p>JERRY: Look, I'm sorry-</p>
<p>KRAMER: No, I'm not gonna let you do it, Jerry.</p>
<p>JERRY: Kramer, (Trying to pass him) get outta my way!</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Frantic) No, no, no. Don't do it. Don't do it! For my
sake! God knows I don't ask you for much! (Pleading) Now, come on.
Please, Jerry. Please! I'm</p>
<p>beggin' ya! Please! (Claps hands) Come on! Please!</p>
<p>(A pause as Jerry thinks it over)</p>
<p>JERRY: Alright.. (Takes his coat off)</p>
<p>KRAMER: Yes!</p>
<p>JERRY: ..Alright.</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Moving to the window) Thank you, thank you, thank you.
(Sits in Jerry's chair, looking out the window)</p>
<p>JERRY: She's not there!</p>
<p>KRAMER: Oh, I can wait..</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Monk's Coffee shop]</p>
<p>(Jerry and George are sitting opposite each other in a booth)</p>
<p>JERRY: So the nurse was giving her a sponge bath?</p>
<p>GEORGE: Every night at six-thirty. The nurse was gorgeous.. then
I got a look at the patient.. (Laughs, then snorts) I was going
nuts.</p>
<p>JERRY: Oh, man. Well, I guess you'll be going back to that hospital.</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Fake sympathy) Well, my mother, Jerry..</p>
<p>(Jerry nods)</p>
<p>JERRY: (Pointing) But are you still master of your domain?</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Arms out) I am king of the county. You?</p>
<p>JERRY: Lord of the manor.</p>
<p>(Elaine enters and sits next to Jerry)</p>
<p>ELAINE: John F. Kennedy Jun-ya!</p>
<p>JERRY: What?</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Smiling) He was in my aerobics class.</p>
<!-- BeginAd02 --><!-- EndAd -->
<p>JERRY: Really? Did you talk to him?</p>
<p>ELAINE: No, you don't understand - he was working out right in
front of me. So, listen, after the class was over, I timed my walk
to the door so we'd get there at</p>
<p>the exact same moment, and he says to me, (Thinking the world of
what he said) &quot;Quite a workout.&quot;</p>
<p>GEORGE: &quot;Quite a workout&quot;? What did you say?</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Smiling, proud) I said, &quot;yeah.&quot;</p>
<p>JERRY: (Adding, fake praise) Good one.</p>
<p>ELAINE: So then, listen, listen. So then, I showered and I dressed,
and I saw him again, on the way out. (Giddy and nearly out of breath)
So we're walkin' and</p>
<p>talkin', and he asked me my name - and I think I said Elaine -
but, I mean, who the hell knows.. And so then, he says to me: &quot;Do
you wanna split a cab uptown?&quot;</p>
<p>And I said, &quot;Sure&quot; - even though I was going downtown.
So, we get in the cab, and I mean, I have no idea where I'm goin',
right? But this is John F. Kennedy Junior</p>
<p>we're talkin' about! (Deep breath) So, then, he says to me, &quot;Where
do you live?&quot; And I - and I - and I was close to your block,
so I said your building. So he</p>
<p>dropped me off in front, (Laughs) and I had to take a cab all the
way back downtown to my house.. (Picks up a glass of cold water
and presses it up to her</p>
<p>forehead to cool her off) Oh, God..</p>
<p>JERRY: But the question is, are you still master of your domain?</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Sets the glass down) I'm queen of the castle. (Pops a
piece of food into her mouth)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Estelle's hospital room]</p>
<p>(George quickly runs in, turning around - he checks both his watch
and the wall clock. He smiles to himself)</p>
<p>ESTELLE: You're back.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Of course I'm back. Why wouldn't I be back? My mother's
in the hospital, I'm going to pay her a visit.</p>
<p>ESTELLE: I know, but two days in a row? You didn't have to do this.</p>
<p>GEORGE: You're my mother! What wouldn't I do for you?</p>
<p>ESTELLE: You know what you could do? I haven't eaten lunch or dinner.
I can't eat this hospital food. Maybe you could run down to the
deli and get me a</p>
<p>sandwich..</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Smiling) You got it, Ma. (She smiles back, nodding) A
little later. (George sits back in a nearby chair, looking at the
divider in anticipation)</p>
<p>ESTELLE: (Let down) Could you go now, George? I'm very hungry.
I'm weak.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Well, wait a little while, Ma. What's the difference?</p>
<p>ESTELLE: I don't understand why you can't do this for me!</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Standing up) I just got here, Ma! I'd like to spend a
little time with you.</p>
<p>ESTELLE: But if you wait, they won't let you back in! Visiting
hours are almost over!</p>
<p>GEORGE: Ten minutes! Here, here, (Fishes a box of Tic-Tacs out
of his coat pocket and tosses them to her) Have some Tic-Tacs.</p>
<p>ESTELLE: Get the hell outta here. (Angrily sets them aside) I'm
sorry you came.</p>
<p>(Nurse enters)</p>
<p>NURSE: (To patient) Six-thirty. Time for your sponge bath.</p>
<p>(George eagerly takes his seat, looking up at their shadows on
the divider)</p>
<p>ESTELLE: George.. I'm huuunnnggry!</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Muttering, slow) Hang on, Ma.. hang on..</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: New York Health Club]</p>
<p>(Elaine, dressed to impress, walks up to the counter. She's obviously
looking around for JFK Jr.)</p>
<p>JOYCE: Hi!</p>
<p>ELAINE: Hi.</p>
<p>JOYCE: Did you get your hair done today?</p>
<p>ELAINE: No, I just, uh, fixed it.. a little bit. (Still looking
around, she quickly checks her breath)</p>
<p>JOYCE: You know who - isn't here. He was in the early class today.
(Elaine looses her composure) But I think you made quite an impression
on him yesterday.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Regarding herself) What? What? Who? Me-me-me? I made an
impression? What impression?</p>
<p>JOYCE: Let me just put this back. (Turns to put a stack of shorts
away)</p>
<p>(Elaine violently grabs her jacket, pulling Joyce back in her direction)</p>
<p>ELAINE: No! No! Now! Tell me now! What did he say?!</p>
<p>JOYCE: (Uneasy) He asked about you.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Ecstatic) He asked about me? John Kennedy asked about
me?! (Hangs off the side of the counter, both feet in the air) What
did he say?</p>
<p>JOYCE: He wanted to know your situation.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Quick) What situation? I have a situation?</p>
<p>JOYCE: I-I told him you were single.</p>
<p>ELAINE: That was good. That was very good.</p>
<p>JOYCE: He said you were just his type.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Frank) Okay, you tryin' to hurt me? Are you tryin' to
hurt - you're tryin' to injure me, right? You're trying to hurt
me.</p>
<p>JOYCE: He also told me to tell you that he'll be in your neighborhood
tomorrow around nine o' clock - so he's gonna stop in front of your
building if you want to</p>
<p>come down and say hello.</p>
<p>(Breathless, Elaine almost collapses)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's apartment]</p>
<p>(Kramer's at the window while Jerry's on the phone with his mother,
watching TV)</p>
<p>JERRY: Alright, Ma, I'll talk to you later.. Nothing, I'm, I'm
watching, uh, Tiny Toons here, on Nickelodeon.. It's, I-I like kid
shows. They have a very innocent,</p>
<p>wholesome quality. Okay, alright, I'll talk to you later. Bye.
(Hangs up)</p>
<p>KRAMER: (Obviously watching the nudist across the street) Oh, that's
good. That's good. That's very, very good. Oh, it's hot in there..
(Jerry looks back at</p>
<p>Kramer in envy) It's hot in there. So, just walk around a little
bit. Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed.. that's good, that's good..
yes, yes, yes..</p>
<p>JERRY: (Trying to block out Kramer, he starts to sing along with
the TV) The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round,
round and round. The</p>
<p>wheels on the bus..</p>
<p>(Kramer joins in with Jerry, only, he has a different version)</p>
<p>KRAMER: The woman across the street has nothing on, nothing on,
nothing on..</p>
<p>(Both Kramer and Jerry continue to sing the two different versions,
trying to over ride the other)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: George's room]</p>
<p>(George is wide awake, staring at the ceiling. Scene cuts to Jerry.
Once again, he's restless and flings the covers off him. Scene cuts
to Kramer - he's out like a light.</p>
<p>The scene takes a final cut to Elaine. Foreshadowing the next scene,
she's sound asleep too)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's apartment]</p>
<p>(Jerry and George. They're bickering at each other due to the lack
of sex)</p>
<p>GEORGE: All you got is instant coffee? Why don't you get some real
coffee?</p>
<p>JERRY: I don't keep real coffee in here, I get my coffee on the
outside! (Intercom buzzes. He answers it) Yeah?!</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Through intercom) It's Elaine.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Shouting) Come on up! (Opens his door for Elaine)</p>
<p>GEORGE: Where did you get those socks?</p>
<p>JERRY: I don't know.</p>
<p>GEORGE: I think those are my socks!</p>
<p>JERRY: How are these your socks?!</p>
<p>GEORGE: I don't know, but those are my socks! I had a pair just
like that with the blue stripe, and now I don't have them anymore!</p>
<p>JERRY: (Sarcastic) Oh, yeah, that's right, well, you fell asleep
one day on the sofa and I took them off your stinkin' feet. They
looked so good to me, I just had to</p>
<p>have them!</p>
<p>GEORGE: Yeah, well, they're my socks!</p>
<p>JERRY: They're my socks!</p>
<p>(A brief moment passes as they look at each other)</p>
<p>GEORGE: Oh boy..</p>
<p>JERRY: What are we doing here..</p>
<p>GEORGE: ..Oh boy.</p>
<p>JERRY: This is ridiculous.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Do you believe this? We're fighting. We're fighting.</p>
<p>JERRY: I haven't been myself lately. I've been snapping at everybody.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Me too. I've been yelling at strangers on the street.</p>
<p>(Elaine slowly enters, shutting the door behind her)</p>
<p>ELAINE: Hello.. (Pulls a wad of bills out of her purse, and starts
to count it up)</p>
<p>GEORGE: (Shocked) You caved?!</p>
<p>JERRY: It's over?</p>
<p>GEORGE: You're out?</p>
<p>JERRY: Ohh-my-God. The Queen is dead.</p>
<p>(Elaine sets the bills down on the counter)</p>
<p>GEORGE: I figured you'd cruise. At least through the Spring.</p>
<p>JERRY: What happened?</p>
<p>ELAINE: It was..uh.. John-John.</p>
<p>JERRY AND GEORGE: Ohhhhh.. John-John.</p>
<p>JERRY: But you made it through the day before.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Yeah, but yesterday, he told Joyce, the aerobics teacher,
that he wants to meet me outside here at nine o' clock tonight.</p>
<p>JERRY: Why outside here?</p>
<p>ELAINE: Because he think I live here. Remember when we shared a
cab, and he dropped me off out in front? He's picking me up.</p>
<p>(George picks up the money, counting it)</p>
<p>JERRY: Alright, Costanza - it's just you and me.</p>
<p>GEORGE: And then, (Smacks the money) there were two.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Slowly) Elaine Benes Kennedy Junior..</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's apartment]</p>
<p>(Jerry and Marla are making out on the couch)</p>
<p>MARLA: Let's go in the bedroom.</p>
<p>JERRY: Really?</p>
<p>MARLA: Yes.</p>
<p>JERRY: You sure?</p>
<p>MARLA: Yes.</p>
<p>JERRY: You really want to?</p>
<p>MARLA: I do. I'm ready.</p>
<p>JERRY: Okay..</p>
<p>MARLA: I know how difficult this must have been for you.</p>
<p>JERRY: (Chuckles) You don't know the half of it.</p>
<p>(They both laugh slightly)</p>
<p>MARLA: What do you mean?</p>
<p>JERRY: Well, it's kinda silly, but..</p>
<p>(Scene cuts to Elaine on the sidewalk waiting for JFK Jr. She checks
her watch. Scene cuts back to Jerry's apartment. Marla, obviously
upset, is putting her coat</p>
<p>on)</p>
<!-- BeginAd03 --><!-- EndAd -->
<p>MARLA: Contest?! A contest! This is what you do with your friends?</p>
<p>JERRY: No, it was just a bet. I mean, it actually started with
George and his mother-</p>
<p>MARLA: I don't want to hear another word. And to think how close
I came to you being the one! I must have been out of my mind.</p>
<p>(She leaves, slamming the door. Jerry hangs his head, then directs
his attention to his window. Eagerly walking over, he sits in his
chair, staring at the woman)</p>
<p>(Scene cuts to Elaine. Marla walks out in front of her, trying
to hail a taxi)</p>
<p>ELAINE: Marla? Hi, oh, I'm glad I ran into you-</p>
<p>MARLA: I don't want to have anything to do with you or your perverted
friends. (Confused, Elaine moves closer) Ooohh, get away from me!
You're horrible.</p>
<p>Horrible! All of you!</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Jerry's apartment]</p>
<p>ELAINE: What happened?</p>
<p>JERRY: I told her about the contest.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Ohh. Boy, she's a whack-o.</p>
<p>(George enters)</p>
<p>GEORGE: (To Elaine) Hey, what happened?</p>
<p>ELAINE: What?</p>
<p>GEORGE: I thought you were meeting Kennedy.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Let down) He didn't show.</p>
<p>GEORGE: Yeah, he did.</p>
<p>ELAINE: What? He's - He's out there? Oh, my God. I-I gotta go,
I gotta go..</p>
<p>GEORGE: No, no, no. He just left.</p>
<p>ELAINE: What?</p>
<p>GEORGE: Yeah, he was talking to Marla.</p>
<p>JERRY: Marla?</p>
<p>GEORGE: Yeah, I think, you know, she was, like, crying, and he
was consoling her, and then, she, uh, just got into his car, and
they just drove away.</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Angered) He left with Marla, the virgin?</p>
<p>GEORGE: Yeah.</p>
<p>ELAINE: They drove away?</p>
<p>GEORGE: Yeah, drove away.. You know, I said 'Hello' to him. You
know, he's - he's-</p>
<p>JERRY: (Moving to the window, shocked) Oh my God in heaven!</p>
<p>(All three crowd around the window)</p>
<p>ELAINE: (Makes a sound of surprise) Is that..?</p>
<p>GEORGE: Kramer?!</p>
<p>(A brief pause)</p>
<p>ELAINE: He's waving..</p>
<p>(All three wave back)</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
<p>[Setting: Elaine's bedroom]</p>
<p>(Elaine's sound asleep. Scene cuts to George, then Jerry. They
too, are sleeping. Scene takes a cut to Kramer and the nudist -
both asleep; then a final cut to Marla's</p>
<p>bedroom. She's sleeping with JFK Jr)</p>
<p>MARLA: Ohh, John. That was wonderful..</p>
<p>(Scene ends)</p>
