<p>[Nightclub]</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry's standup act.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Now, I was thinking the other day about hair, and that the weird
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Thing about it, is that people will touch other people's hair. You will
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>actually kiss another human being, right on the head. But, if one of
|
||
those hairs </p>
|
||
<p>should somehow be able to get out of that skull, and go off on its own,
|
||
it is </p>
|
||
<p>now the vilest, most disgusting thing that you can encounter. The same
|
||
hair. </p>
|
||
<p>People freak out. (horrified) "There was a hair, in the egg salad!"</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>[Jerry's Apartment]</p>
|
||
<p>George sits on the couch with a newspaper, Jerry stands.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Say it's Saturday night in Spain. They go out dancing. You </p>
|
||
<p>think they do the flamenco?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: I would think.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: So you could call a woman for a date, ask her if she's free for
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Dinner and a flamenco?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (scoffs) You don't flamenco on the first date.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Boy, I wish the flamenco was popular here.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Yeah? Would you do it?</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Yes, I think I would.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Well, I knew you'd have an affinity for it, because it's the </p>
|
||
<p>dance of a very proud people.</p>
|
||
<p>The phone rings. Jerry answers.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hello. (listens) Oh, hi Nana. (listens) What? Oh. Oh, alright,
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>okay. Don't worry about it. (listens) Okay, I'll see you later. Alright,
|
||
bye.</p>
|
||
<p>He hangs up the phone.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: I have to go over to my grandmother's.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: What for?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: I have to open a bottle of ketchup for her.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: So, what, no lunch?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: No, we have time.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Oh. How's she doing?</p>
|
||
<p>George rises, and he and Jerry collect their jackets and make their way
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>to the door.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Ah, she's starting to slip a little. Sometimes she has </p>
|
||
<p>Difficulty distinguishing between the past and the present.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Ah. You know, there's gotta be an easier way to open ketchups.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>They</p>
|
||
<p>should make it in a tube.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Like toothpaste?</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Ya-hah.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry and George leave.</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>[Street]</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry and George stroll along, continuing their conversation.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: There's a squeeze ketchup.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: I've seen squeeze mustard. I've never seen squeeze ketchup.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Well, if they make squeeze mustard, doesn't it stand to reason
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>that they make squeeze ketchup?</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Not necessarily. Mustard lends itself to the squeeze.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: I really don't see the difference.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Oh, there's a difference. It's subtle.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: It's subtle.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Hey uh, isn't Elaine supposed to meet us?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (looking ahead) Yeah, there she is. Uh-oh.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: What?</p>
|
||
<p>They stop walking.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Ah, she's with her friend Wendy.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Wendy? Is that the uh, physical therapist?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Yeah. I'm on a kiss hello program with her.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Really?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Yeah. Every time I see her, I gotta kiss her hello. I just did
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>it once, on her birthday, somehow it mushroomed. Now I dread seeing her
|
||
because </p>
|
||
<p>of it.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry smiles and waves to Elaine, who is approaching with Wendy. Elaine
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Waves back.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (from a distance) Hey.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: You know, I'm down to one kiss hello. My aunt Sylvia.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Ah, that's fortunate. I really admire that.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: (surprise) Huh. I never heard you say you admire me for </p>
|
||
<p>anything.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: No, I told you I admire your hearing.</p>
|
||
<p>George waves away the compliment.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: No, don't slough that off, you have great hearing.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry and George walk and meet Elaine and Wendy. Wendy greets Jerry </p>
|
||
<p>with a kiss on the cheek, which he's not happy about. Wendy is attractive,
|
||
but has </p>
|
||
<p>a real old-fashioned fifties-style hairdo.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE/JERRY/ELAINE/WENDY: Hey/Hi/Hello (etc.)</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (to Wendy) Wendy, George. (to George) Wendy.</p>
|
||
<p>Wendy and George shake hands.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: You're uh, physical therapist, right?</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Yes.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: You know, I got this little swelling right here. (rolls up his
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>sleeve to expose his wrist) It's kinda painful. What d'you make of it?</p>
|
||
<p>Wendy takes a brief glance at George's proffered limb. Elaine isn't </p>
|
||
<p>happy that George is bothering Wendy.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (warning) George.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Have you tried heat and ice on it?</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: (reluctant) Oh that uh, that seems like a lotta trouble.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Well, you could come by my office later, I could work on it for
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>you a little.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: (happy) Oh! Okay.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Let me give you my card.</p>
|
||
<p>Wendy fishes in her bag and hands a card to George.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Oh, thank you.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Well, I'll see you guys later. (to George) Nice meeting you. Bye
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Elaine.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Bye Wendy. I'm sorry.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Bye Jerry.</p>
|
||
<p>Wendy walks away down the street.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Bye.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (slapping George on the arm) What did you do that for?</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: What?</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (pinching George's arm) Ask about your arm.</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>[Monk's]</p>
|
||
<p>George, Jerry and Elaine enter.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: I still don't see why I can't ask her about my arm.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: She's a physical therapist. She doesn't want to have to deal
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>with that outside of the office.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Why not?</p>
|
||
<p>The trio sit down in a booth.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Because, it is what she does.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: I love these people, you can't ask 'em questions. (getting </p>
|
||
<p>excited) They're so mentally gifted that we mustn't disturb the delicate
|
||
genius </p>
|
||
<p>Unless it's in the confines of an office. (worked up) When huge sums
|
||
of money </p>
|
||
<p>are involved, then the delicate genius can be disturbed!</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: George, you got a little something, right here.</p>
|
||
<p>Elaine indicates underneath George's nostrils.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: (wiping the area with a hand) People think they're so </p>
|
||
<p>important...</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (adamant) Well, I'm going on record right now that that was my
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>last kiss hello. I am getting off the kiss program with her.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Why?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Well, you know, frankly, outside of a sexual relationship, I </p>
|
||
<p>don't see the point to it. I'm not thrilled with all the handshaking
|
||
either, but </p>
|
||
<p>one step at a time.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: (regarding the menu) What're you getting?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (to Elaine) And what's with that hairdo, by the way?</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Huh, yeah, I know. It's not very flattering.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: She looks like something out of an old high school yearbook. You
|
||
<!-- BeginAd01 --><!-- EndAd -->
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Should say something to her.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Oh, I could never say anything to her about that.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Yeah. Kramer's the only person who could say something like </p>
|
||
<p>that.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Yeah. Hah.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: Well, just tell Kramer to tell her.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: No. If you tell him to do it, he'll never do it.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: What you have to do is introduce him, and then he'll just come
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>out with it.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (sharp intake of breath) Hoh. Yes, yes, you're right. That's
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>right. I'll bring her over to meet...</p>
|
||
<p>Kramer enters.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (to Kramer) ...Kramer.</p>
|
||
<p>Kramer strolls over to the table.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Hello, boys and girls.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Speak of the devil.</p>
|
||
<p>Kramer sits at the table. Elaine starts to peruse her menu, as Kramer
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>speaks to Jerry.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Yeah. Hey listen, I uh, I need a picture of you, buddy.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: What for?</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Well, I'm uh, I'm putting everybody's picture up in the lobby
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>of our building.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Why?</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: So everyone will know everybody's name. See, people are gonna
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>be a lot friendlier.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (reluctant) I, I don't want my picture plastered up in the </p>
|
||
<p>lobby.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Imagine walking by someone on the floor, and you say "Hey,
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Carl!" and he</p>
|
||
<p>says "Hey, Jerry!" You see, that's the kind of society I wanna
|
||
live in.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (still reluctant) Kramer, I don't wanna stop and talk with </p>
|
||
<p>everyone, every time I go in the building. I just wanna nod and be on
|
||
my way.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: (to Elaine) You know your eyeliner's smudged a little. Why do
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>you wear so much eye makeup?</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (to Jerry, indicating Kramer) Yeah. This is gonna work out just
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>fine.</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>[Nana's Apartment]</p>
|
||
<p>Leo is in the living room, speaking with Nana, who's in another room.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: Ma! Again with the ketchup? Don't they have 'em in the plastic </p>
|
||
<p>Squeeze containers?</p>
|
||
<p>There is a knock at the door. Leo opens it, to reveal Jerry.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: (traditional greeting) Jerry! Hello!</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hello, uncle Leo!</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: What're you doing here?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Nana called me to open the ketchup bottle.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: Yeah, me too.</p>
|
||
<p>Nana enters with a bottle of ketchup.</p>
|
||
<p>NANA: Hello Jerry.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hi Nana.</p>
|
||
<p>There's a brief pause, as Leo waits for something.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: Aren't you gonna kiss her hello?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Yes. (kisses Nana) Yes of course.</p>
|
||
<p>NANA: Ha, well, here's the bottle.</p>
|
||
<p>Nana holds out the ketchup.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: (grabbing the bottle) I'll do it.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (also grabbing) What're you doing, I got it.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry and Leo begin to struggle for possession of the ketchup.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: Give it to me.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Will you stop it.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: Jerry, will you give me the bottle?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Uncle Leo! (releasing his grip) Alright! Take it!</p>
|
||
<p>NANA: You should let Buddy open it.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: Buddy? He lived next door to us forty-five years ago.</p>
|
||
<p>Leo hands the ketchup back to Nana.</p>
|
||
<p>NANA: Leo, did you give Helen the fifty dollars?</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: What fifty dollars?</p>
|
||
<p>NANA: Your father won a thousand dollars at the track last week, and
|
||
he </p>
|
||
<p>gave you a hundred, and you were supposed to give fifty dollars to your
|
||
sister.</p>
|
||
<p>Nana walks away out of the room again.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: Ma, dad died in nineteen-sixty-two.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry is staring at Leo, with an expression of suspicion.</p>
|
||
<p>LEO: (laughing off Nana's confusion) Believe me. I don't owe your </p>
|
||
<p>mother fifty dollars.</p>
|
||
<p>Leo continues to force out laughter, and Jerry continues his look of
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>mistrust.</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>[Lobby, Jerry's Building]</p>
|
||
<p>Elaine and Jerry wait by the elevator. Jerry is speaking to the </p>
|
||
<p>building super.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: I'm just not getting any hot water.</p>
|
||
<p>JULIO: Hey, believe me, I know there's nothing worse than when your </p>

<p>KRAMER: (evasive) Ohh, nothing, nothing.</p>

<p>KRAMER: Oh, I, I need a pen.</p>

<p>JERRY: What for?</p>

<p>KRAMER: Well, I'm making out my will. Oh, I got a big slice of dough

</p>

<p>for you, buddy. And you too, Elaine, I haven't forgotten you.</p>

<p>ELAINE: Wha... W.. Are you going home?</p>
|

<p>KRAMER: Yeah.</p>

<p>ELAINE: Uh, could you come back in about five minutes?</p>
|

<p>KRAMER: Why?</p>
|

<p>ELAINE: No reason. (big smile) Just wanna see you again.</p>
|
||
<p>Kramer smiles at this. He exits, but turns to flash the smile at Elaine
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>as he crosses the hall to his apartment. After Kramer goes into his place,

</p>

<p>Elaine shuts the door of Jerry's apartment.</p>

<p>ELAINE: Yeah, she'll be here any second.</p>
|

<p>JERRY: Well, this'll be a very interesting experiment to see if Kramer
|

</p>
|

<p>Says something. You sure you wanna go through with this?</p>

<p>The phone rings, and Jerry picks up. Elaine removes her coat.</p>

<p>JERRY: Hello. Oh, hi mom. Yeah, I was at Nana's yesterday. I had to </p>
|
||
<p>help her open a ketchup bottle. Hey, mom, let me ask you a question.
|
||
Do you </p>
|
||
<p>remember when you were a kid, your father winning like a thousand dollars
|
||
at the </p>

||
<p>track? (listens) Really? Did you know he gave uncle Leo a hundred dollars,
|
||
and </p>
|
||
<p>he was supposed to give you fifty? (listens) How do I know? Because Nana
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>doesn't know what year it is, and she thinks this just happened. (listens)

Well, I </p>

<p>ELAINE: What is the big deal about putting your lips on somebody's </p>

<p>face?</p>
|

<p>JERRY: It's the obligation, you know? As soon as this person comes in,

</p>
|
||
<p>you know you have to do this. I mean, if you could, say, touch a breast

as part </p>

better.</p>

</p>

<p>Then back again, unable to take his eyes off her hair.</p>

|

<p>there are ski poles on the back seat.</p>
|

<p>WENDY: I am really glad I took the day off.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Oh, yeah, there's nothing better than skiing.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Yeah. I hope my clients weren't too upset.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Ugh, the hell with 'em.</p>
|
||
<p>Wendy and Elaine share a laugh. Wendy then starts to pull the car over
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>to the side of the road.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: What're you stopping here for?</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: I'm dropping you off.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: (pointing) Oh, no, I'm three more blocks.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Yeah, but if I take you to your door, then I have to go all the
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Way around Central Park West, back to Columbus, you know it's all one
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>way...</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Yeah, but it's only three blocks.</p>
|
||
<p>WENDY: Right. It's only three blocks.</p>

<p>ELAINE: (unbuckling her seatbelt) Alright, well...</p>

<p>[Street]</p>
|
||
<p>Elaine struggles along the sidewalk at night with her ski gear in her
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>arms. She's not finding it easy fighting with the uncomfortable bulk
|
||
of skis, </p>
|
||
<p>poles, boots, etc.. Eventually she drops the boots and, rather than pick
|
||
them </p>
|
||
<p>up, simply kicks them along in front of her.</p>

<p> </p>
|
||
<p>[Street]</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry and Elaine walk together.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: She'd driven me a hundred and twenty miles and, all of a </p>
|
||
<p>sudden, three blocks from my door, she decides this trip is over. Isn't
|
||
that strange?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Yes, it's very strange. Very strange.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: I've never heard of anything like this. I mean, it's almost as
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>if I was hitch-hiking and she says "Well, this is as far as I can
|
||
take you."</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: I tell you. If you were hitch-hiking, you'd never get into a car
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>With someone with a hairdo like that.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: I had to carry my skis, and my boots and my poles. I think I
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>pinched a nerve in my shoulder.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: You should have her work on it for you.</p>
|
||
<p>ELAINE: Yeah, alright, I gotta go.</p>

<p>[Lobby, Jerry's Building]</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry enters his building. Mary spots him from across the lobby and </p>
|
||
<p>closes for a kiss hello.</p>
|
||
<p>MAR: Hi Jerry.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hi Mary.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry backs away from the kiss with so much effort that he's up against
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>The mailboxes.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Uh, listen. I decided I can't kiss hello anymore. I'm sorry. </p>
|
||
<p>It's nothing personal....</p>
|
||
<p>Mary looks upset by Jerry's outburst.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: ...It just makes me a little uncomfortable and I can't do it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I'm sorry.</p>
|
||
<p>The door to the street opens and Louise enters, also friendly and </p>
|
||
<p>aiming for the kiss hello.</p>
|
||
<p>LOU: Hi Jerry.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hi Louise...</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry backs sharply away from Louise as she leans in for the kiss.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: ...I was just telling Mary how I'm not gonna be doing the kiss
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Hello thing anymore. (continues backing away) I'm sorry. I just can't
|
||
do it. </p>
|
||
<p>It's nothing personal, it's just I'm not really able to do it and uh,
|
||
I'm </p>
|
||
<p>sorry.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry backs into the elevator.</p>
|

<p>JERRY: (as the elevator doors close) Thank you for your cooperation.</p>

<p>Jerry answers the phone.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hello.</p>
|
||
<p>HELEN (V.O): Jerry?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hi mom. So, what's happening with uncle Leo? Is he paying you?</p>
|
||
<p>In Florida, Helen is on the phone and Morty is still working out </p>
|
||
<p>figures with a pad and a calculator.</p>
|
||
<p>HELEN: Well, he said no. He said we had no proof.</p>
|

<p>MORTY: No proof? We'll get him. He's a crook, sooner or later, he'll

</p>

<p>[Hall Outside Jerry's Apartment]</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry and Kramer emerge from their apartments.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: What's up?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (locking his door) Oh, I gotta go visit my nana in the nursing
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>home.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Oh.</p>
|
||
<p>They walk together down the hall.</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>[Lobby, Jerry's Building]</p>
|
||
<p>The elevator doors open and Jerry and Kramer come out. Something on the
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Wall opposite catches Jerry's eye.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hey, Kramer, look at this.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry points and walks over to Kramer's gallery, Kramer following.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Look at my picture!</p>
|
||
<p>The photograph has been crudely vandalised with a magic marker. </p>
|
||
<p>'Grade-A Dork' has been written on the forehead, whiskers, spots, horns
|
||
and a wormlike </p>
|
||
<p>tongue added and teeth blacked out.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: I've been defaced!</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Hey, don't you worry buddy. I made double prints.</p>
|
||
<p>Behind Kramer a guy (Jack) has entered the building. Jack walks up </p>
|
||
<p>behind Kramer and slaps him on the shoulder in a friendly fashion.</p>
|
||
<p>JACK: Hey. Hi Cosmo.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Oh, hey, Jack. How you doing?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hi Jack.</p>
|
||
<p>Jack gives Jerry an unfriendly look and walks to the elevator without
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>replying. Julio comes out of the elevator, and Jerry walks over to ask
|
||
him </p>
|
||
<p>something.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hey, Julio. I was wondering, could you get to that shower today,
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>You think?</p>
|
||
<p>JULIO: Oh, I see. When you need something done, you're very friendly
|
||
to </p>
|
||
<p>people, huh?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (defensive) No no, that's not true!</p>
|
||
<p>JULIO: (accusing) Well, I think it is! It's a big building, Seinfeld,
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>maybe I'll get to it someday. After I take care of the people who're
|
||
civil to each </p>
|
||
<p>other.</p>
|

<p>Julio stalks away. Jerry swings to give Kramer a look.</p>

<!-- BeginAd04 --><!-- EndAd -->
|
||
<p>NURSE: Yeah, she's upstairs, playing cards.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: You know, she really doesn't belong here. My uncle put her here,
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Because he's trying to prove he doesn't owe my mother fifty dollars.</p>
|
||
<p>NURSE: Well, she seems very happy. She met an old friend who used to

<p>JERRY: Buddy?</p>

|

<p>WENDY: (smiling) I'm sorry, I don't owe you anything. I had some </p>
|

<p>personal</p>
|
||
<p>business that day.</p>
|
||
<p>GEORGE: (irascible) Oh, I see. So your time is more valuable than mine.
|

</p>
|

<p>Is that it? You're a delicate genius!</p>

<p>Behind George, Elaine has slipped in the door.</p>

<p>WENDY: What's going on?</p>

<p>ELAINE: (feeling her arm) Wendy, I injured my shoulder, Wednesday, when

</p>
|

<p>You dropped me off and I had to carry my skis, and my boots, and my poles

</p>
|

<p>and everything, all the way home. I'm, I'm having trouble lifting my

arm. </p>
|

<p>Do you think you could give me some treatment?</p>

<p>WENDY: Oh sure. You have insurance, right?</p>

<p>ELAINE: (shocked) Insurance? You're charging me?</p>

|

<p>GEORGE: Wednesday? That's your personal business?! (stalks over to the

<p>Jerry and Buddy sit on the bench, reminiscing.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: So you were with him that day at the track?</p>
|
||
<p>BUDDY: Oh yeah. He won a thousand dollars. His son was there too.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Leo?</p>
|
||
<p>BUDDY: Yeah, that's it. Leo. Ooh, what an obnoxious little kid. He used
|

</p>
|
||
<p>to steal my soda bottles. and cash 'em in for the deposits, uh?</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Is that so?</p>
|

<p>BUDDY: And, after your grandfather hit the daily double, he gave him

a </p>
|

<p>Hundred dollars, and told him to give fifty to his sister. His sister?
|
||
Why I </p>
|
||
<p>tell you he shoulda give it to me for all the bottles he took!</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Well, that's very interesting.</p>
|
||
<p>Just then, uncle Leo strolls up the path to the nursing home. Jerry </p>

<p>spots his arrival.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: (standing) Uncle Leo! I just met an old acquaintance of yours.

you and </p>

<p>Grandpa at the track.</p>

<p>Leo's caught out, and looks worried.</p>

<p>[Lobby, Jerry's Building]</p>
|

<p>Jerry enters from the street. Steve is in the lobby, collecting his </p>

<p>mail. Jerry decides to be friendly.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hey, Steve. How you doing?</p>
|
||
<p>Steve turns to Jerry, gives him a disdainful look, and turns away </p>
|
||
<p>again. Another guy (Jeff) approaches from within the building. Jerry
|

tries the </p>
|
||
<p>friendly approach again.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Hey, Jeff. What's happening?</p>
|
||
<p>Jeff completely blanks Jerry and goes to get his mail. Jerry spots Mary
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>over by Kramer's gallery wall, and walks across to her.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Mary! Oh, Mary! Give us a kiss.</p>
|
||
<p>Mary moves to avoid Jerry.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Don't be like that, Mary. C'mon, I made a mistake!</p>
|
||
<p>MARY: (contemptuous) Look, why don't you do everybody a favour, and </p>
|
||
<p>just get out of this building? (angry) Nobody wants you here. Nobody!</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry looks downcast. Mary walks over to the mailboxes, where she </p>
|

<p>greets Jeff and Steve.</p>
|
||
<p>JEFF: Hi Mary.</p>
|
||
<p>MARY: Hi Jeff. How are you?</p>

<p>Mary and Jeff kiss hello.</p>

<p>MARY: Oh, that'd be great.</p>
|

<p>The three of them exit together chatting happily, watched by a rueful
|

</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry. Jerry looks at his photo on the wall and adjusts it so it's straight.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Then Jerry notices the elevator is about to go up, so he asks a favour
|
||
of the </p>
|

<p>occupant as</p>
|
||
<p>he crosses the lobby.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Oh, Paul, could you hold that door...</p>

<p>KRAMER: I know but I... (waves toward the interior of his apartment)

</p>
|
||
<p>Little problem.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: (leaning to look round Kramer) Wendy here?</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: No no no. She changed her hairstyle, (pulls a face) it's </p>
|
||
<p>terrible. No,</p>
|
||
<p>we're done.</p>
|
||
<p>A happy looking guy pushes his way past Kramer and out of the </p>

<p>GUY: I'll go get some more beer.</p>
|

<p>KRAMER: Oh yeah, yeah, great. (calling after the guy) And get some of

</p>
|
||
<p>those blue corn chips.</p>
|

<p>An attractive redheaded woman comes along the hallway. Kramer greets

<p>KRAMER: Stefanie. 2-G.</p>
|
||
<p>JERRY: Oh man. Looks like you got quite a few people here.</p>
|
||
<p>Jerry tries to see around Kramer into his apartment.</p>
|
||
<p>KRAMER: Yeah yeah. Well uh, you know, I'd invite you in, but uhm... you
|

</p>
|
||
<p>know.</p>
|

<p>JERRY: (rueful acceptance) Oh, yeah, I understand.</p>
