Opening monologue.<br>
<br>
There's something very insincere about these greeting cards we send back
and<br>
forth to each other all the time. They're like these little one-dollar
folded<br>
paper emotional prostitutes, isn't it? &quot;I don't know what my feelings
are, so<br>
I'll just pay some total stranger a buck to make up this little Hallmark
hooker<br>
to do the job for me. So I can go, 'Yeah, I didn't write this, but whatever<br>
they wrote, I think the same thing.'&quot; Wouldn't it be better if we
just had one<br>
card that covered every occasion for everybody in one shot? Just &quot;Happy<br>
birthday, merry Christmas, happy anniversary, congratulations, it's a
Boy and<br>
our deepest sympathies. Signed, the whole office&quot;<br>
<br>
<br>
First scene.<br>
Elaine and Jerry and in Jerry's apartment.<br>
<br>
Elaine: She was hitting on you? My friend Noreen?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Your friend, Noreen.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Are you sure you're not just flattering yourself?<br>
<br>
Jerry: If I was flattering myself, I think I'd come up with someone a
little<br>
less annoying than Noreen.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I cannot believe that she was hitting on you.<br>
<br>
Jerry: If you don't believe me, ask her.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I will. Besides, she's got a boyfriend, Jerry, you know him. Dan.
<br>
Remember, we went to that party at his house?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh, right. The guy who talks with a really high voice.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah.<br>
<br>
Kramer enters.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Jerry, did you get my Fortune magazine in your mail?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Check the pile.<br>
<br>
Kramer (leafing through Jerry's mail): Oh, who sent you a card?<br>
<br>
Jerry: I don't know.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Open it, it's from Hallmark.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh.
<br>
<br>
Kramer (To Elaine): Hello, my love.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Hello, darling.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Isn't that cute, a 'thank you' card from Kristin.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Let me see.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Who's Kristin?<br>
<br>
Jerry: She works for PBS, I met her when I agreed to do that pledge drive.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Did you ask her about me?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, in fact she said that you could be one of those people that
sits<br>
in the back and answers the phone.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Giddy-up! Alright! So now, how does that work? Now, what, I get
a<br>
percentage of every pledge I bring in, right?<br>
<br>
Jerry: No, it's not aluminum siding, it's volunteer work. All the money
goes<br>
to the station.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Okay, yeah, alright, that sounds good, but I still get a tote
bag<br>
though, right?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, and one of those foam beer can holders.<br>
<br>
Kramer leaves, satisfied.<br>
<br>
Elaine (dialing the phone): You know what I'm doing? I'm calling Noreen.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh, go ahead.<br>
<br>
Elaine: You sure you don't mind?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Like she's really going to admit she was flirting with me.<br>
<br>
Elaine finishes dialing, the phone rings and a high pitched voice answers.<br>
<br>
High Pitched Voice: Hello?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Hi, it's Elaine. Listen, I was just talking to Jerry.<br>
<br>
High Pitched Voice: Jerry?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Jerry Seinfeld.<br>
<br>
High Pitched Voice: Oh, I like Jerry a lot.<br>
<br>
Elaine: You mean like like?<br>
<br>
High Pitched Voice: What are you talking about?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Noreen, were you hitting on him?<br>
<br>
Cut to the other end of the conversation, there's a bald man on the telephone.<br>
<br>
High Pitched Voice: Noreen's not here, this is Dan.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Ooh.<br>
<br>
Dan: You say that Noreen was hitting on Jerry Seinfeld?<br>
<br>
Elaine (hanging up): Uh, I'll call you back later.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Uh oh.<br>
<br>
Jerry: So was I right? She likes me, right?<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Elaine is sharpening pencils for Mr. Pitt. The phone is ringing.<br>
<br>
<!-- BeginAd01 --><!-- EndAd -->
Mr. Pitt (answering): Hello? (to Elaine) It's for you. Must you keep giving<br>
my number out?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Pitt. Hello?<br>
<br>
High Pitched Voice: Elaine? What is going on? Why did you tell Dan I was<br>
hitting on Jerry Seinfeld?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Is this Noreen?<br>
<br>
High Pitched Voice (Noreen): What would ever possess you to make up a
story<br>
like that.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Well, listen, Jerry mentioned it, and, I don't know--<br>
<br>
Dan (taking the phone from Noreen): I think I deserve an explanation.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Noreen, are you crying?<br>
<br>
Dan: No, this is Dan!<br>
<br>
Elaine: Oh, hi Dan.<br>
<br>
Mr. Pitt: Elaine? Work?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Tell Noreen I'll just call her back later.<br>
<br>
Mr. Pitt: Who was crying?<br>
<br>
Elaine: No one. I'm sorry Mr. Putt, that won't happen again.<br>
<br>
Mr. Pitt (unwrapping a candy bar, placing it on a plate and cutting it
with<br>
knife and fork): I'm sure it won't, but someone was crying and I want
to know<br>
who it was.<br>
<br>
Well, it's a long story, okay? But my stupid friend Jerry told my other
friend<br>
Noreen that she was-- (noticing Mr. Pitt eating the candy bar with knife
and<br>
fork and becoming distracted) You know, hitting on him and so I called
her to<br>
see what was, uh, going on and I accidentally got her boyfriend, who is
this,<br>
you know--<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Jerry and Kristin, the PBS rep, are in Jerry's apartment. Jerry is reading
from<br>
a sheet of paper.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I'm Jerry Seinfeld, I tell jokes for a living, but there's no joking<br>
about the financial crisis at PBS. Show us you care. Call in your pledge
now.<br>
<br>
Kristin: Jerry, I am so grateful that you're doing this.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh, I know you are.<br>
<br>
Kristin: You got the card I sent?<br>
<br>
Jerry: I did.<br>
<br>
Kristin: So where is it?<br>
<br>
Jerry: What? <br>
<br>
Kristin: The card. Is this it in the trash?<br>
<br>
Jerry: No?<br>
<br>
Kristin: This is my card, you threw it away.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Well--<br>
<br>
Kristin: I put a lot of thought into this card.<br>
<br>
Jerry: You signed your name and you addressed the envelope, it's not like
you<br>
painted the picture and wrote the poem.<br>
<br>
Kristin: Fine. I gotta get back to the office.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Why, because I threw the card out? How long was I supposed to save
it?<br>
<br>
Kristin: You have no sentimentality.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I have sentimentality, really, I'm sentimental. Here, look. Here's<br>
some cards I've saved, these are birthday cards from my grandmother, see,
I'm<br>
not a bad guy.<br>
<br>
Kristin: Oh, so you save her cards but not mine! Oh great!<br>
<br>
Jerry (as Kristin is storming out): Well, but, you see, I saved something!
<br>
See? I can save. I'll see you at the pledge drive, ok?<br>
<br>
Kramer enters as Kristin leaves.<br>
<br>
Kramer: New cards, huh?<br>
<br>
Jerry: No, they're old cards from my grandmother.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Oh. Well, I'll tell you, a nice greeting card can really lift
a<br>
person's spirits.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah.<br>
<br>
Kramer (opening a card): Oh, a check.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Yeah, she puts ten dollars in every card for my birthday, that's
why I<br>
save them.<br>
<br>
Kramer: There's a check in all these? Why don't you cash them?<br>
<br>
Jerry: I don't know, it's ten dollars.<br>
<br>
Kramer: But you got a whole pile here. 1987?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh so what.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Jerry, your grandmother gave you this gift. She wants you to spend
the<br>
money, to have the fun that she can't have. Oh, this is tantamount to
a slap in<br>
the face.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh, get out of here.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Jerry, a gift not enjoyed is like a flower that doesn't blossom.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Alright, alright, I'll cash the checks.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Yeah.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Jerry and George are at the coffee shop.<br>
<br>
Jerry: It was a 'thank you' card from Kristin because I'm doing the PBS
drive. <br>
I mean, how long am I supposed to keep it?<br>
<br>
George: The rule is a minimum of two days.<br>
<br>
Jerry: You making that up or do you know what you're talking about?<br>
<br>
George: I'm making it up.<br>
<br>
Jerry: I mean really, what's the point of saving it? I could see if I
had a<br>
mantel.<br>
<br>
George: Oh, well, a mantel's a whole different story.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Absolutely.<br>
<br>
George: If my parents had a mantel, I might be a completely different
person.<br>
<br>
Jerry: So anyway, she's kind of upset about it so I need you to do me
a favor.<br>
<br>
George: Let's have it.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Well, I'm doing the PBS show, so during the show they're gonna
be<br>
running the Ken Burns baseball thing. So I thought if I could get a baseball<br>
player to come on the show with me...<br>
<br>
George: You want me to ask one of the Yankees.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Could you?<br>
<br>
George: Alright. I'll run it by a few people.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Alright, Do your thing, where you lie to everyone.<br>
<br>
Elaine (entering and sitting down): I should never have made that phone
call.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Hey, did you ever get to talk to Noreen?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yes, she's very upset.<br>
<br>
Jerry: So was I right about the flirting? Was it true?<br>
<br>
Elaine: I don't know, I never asked. She was yelling--<br>
<br>
George: Who was flirting with you?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Remember when we were in the bookstore, that woman came up to us?<br>
<br>
<!-- BeginAd02 --><!-- EndAd -->
George: She wasn't flirting with you.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh, sure she was; Asked me where the 'humor' section was? Humor?
Come<br>
on.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Jerry, her brother just had a book of political cartoons published.<br>
<br>
Elaine and George laugh derisively.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Alright, so maybe she wasn't flirting with me. So what?<br>
<br>
Elaine: So, yeah, that's funny. Hey, you wanna hear something weird? Mr.
Pitt<br>
eats his Snickers bars with a knife and fork.<br>
<br>
George: Really?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Why does he do that?<br>
<br>
George: He probably doesn't want to get chocolate on his fingers. That's
the<br>
way these society types eat their candy bars.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh, you know.<br>
<br>
George: What, you think I eat all my meals with you? (To waitress) Excuse
me,<br>
sweetheart? I think you may have overcharged us. What is this?<br>
<br>
Waitress: That's the extra toast. Get it?<br>
<br>
George: Got it. (the waitress walks away) Did you just see what happened<br>
here?<br>
<br>
Elaine: What?<br>
<br>
George: Did you see the way she pointed at the check? She gave me the
finger.<br>
<br>
Jerry: That's how waitress types express derision. They don't want to
get<br>
their mouths dirty.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
George is in a meeting at work.<br>
<br>
George: So, what do you think?<br>
<br>
Mr. Morgan: A PBS fundraiser? I'm not gonna waste any of the players'
time<br>
with that, besides the team already does so much promotion for channel
eleven.<br>
<br>
George: Channel eleven? Forgive me for trying to class up this place,
for<br>
trying to have the Yankees reach another strata of society that might
not watch<br>
channel eleven.<br>
<br>
George begins eating a candy bar with knife and fork.<br>
<br>
Mr. Morgan: Uh, what the hell are you doing?<br>
<br>
George: I am eating my dessert. How do you eat it, with your hands?<br>
<br>
Mr. Morgan: You know, maybe George has something here about PBS.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Jerry and Kramer are at an ATM.<br>
<br>

<br>
Nana: Hello?<br>
<br>
Voice: Hello, this is Chemical Bank. Just wanted you to know that your<br>

<br>
Nana: Chemical Bank? I haven't used that account in months.<br>
<br>
Voice: Well, someone's been cashing the checks and you're overdrawn.<br>
<br>
Oh dear. I'll be down there first thing in the morning.<br>
<br>
Voice (unheard by Nana as she hangs up the phone): Wait, we can do this
over the<br>
phone.<br>
<br>
Fade to the next morning, the alarm clock goes off, it's 5:30, Nana turns
off<br>
the alarm, fully dressed, gathers her coat and purse, sighs, and heads
for the<br>
door.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
George, Jerry and Kramer are at the coffee shop.<br>
<br>
Jerry: You got Danny Tartabull?!<br>
<br>
George: You wanted a Yankee, I got you a Yankee.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Boy, you really came through. Kristin's gonna be thrilled.<br>
<br>
George: Hey, the Bull owes me one, I helped him with his swing.<br>
<br>
Kramer: So you're bringing Danny Tartabull to the fundraiser tonight.<br>
<br>
George: Absolutely. Pending approval of the script.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Excuse me?<br>
<br>
George: Jerry, I'm Yankee management.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Yeah, I'd like to see the script too.<br>
<br>
Jerry: You're just answering phones!<br>
<br>
Kramer: It would put me at ease.<br>
<br>
George: Hey, when you order from the waitress, get her to point to the
menu. I<br>
want to see what finger she uses.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Uh, say, I wanted a side order of fruit but I didn't see it on
the men<br>
<br>
Waitress: Oh, you're getting it (pointing to menu with index finger),
it comes<br>
with your breakfast special.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Right you are.<br>
<br>
George: I didn't get the special, but I'd also like the fresh fruit too.<br>
<br>
Waitress (scratching cheek with middle finger): I'll check.<br>
<br>
George (after waitress walks away): I don't believe it, she did it again!<br>
<br>
Jerry: Oh, she had an itch.<br>
<br>
George: She had an itch. She could have used any one of those fingers.
That<br>
finger was meant for me.<br>
<br>
Kramer (laughing): Yeah, she knew what she was doing.<br>
<br>
Jerry: By the way, lunch is on me. I just cashed my Nana's birthday checks.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Nana is standing on a deserted street in front of an abandoned building,<br>
checking for an address. A street tough approaches from behind.<br>
<br>
Street tough: Looking for something, lady?<br>
<br>
Nana: Isn't the Chemical Bank on this block?<br>
<br>
Street tough: The bank? It burned. It's gone!<br>
<br>
Nana: Oh dear.<br>
<br>
Street tough: Now what you wanna do is go down to forty-ninth street,
that's<br>
the main customer service branch. Ask for Mr. Fleming. He'll help you.<br>
<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Jerry is in his apartment, the phone rings.<br>
<br>
Jerry (answering): Hello?<br>
<br>
Uncle Leo: Jerry? Hello.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Uncle Leo!<br>
<br>
Listen, I don't want to alarm you, but your nana is missing.<br>
<br>
Kramer enters.<br>
<br>
Jerry: Nana's missing?<br>
<br>
Uncle Leo: I came to pick her up for a doctor's appointment, she wasn't
here. <br>
I called the doctor, nobody knows where she is. She hasn't left the apartment<br>
in twenty-five years!<br>
<br>
Jerry: I've been thinking about her, I just cashed some of her checks.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Yeah, that's right. You did.<br>
<!-- BeginAd03 --><!-- EndAd -->
<br>
Uncle Leo: What kind of checks?<br>
<br>
Jerry: I think Chemical Bank.<br>
<br>
Kramer: Oh, they were Chemical.<br>
<br>
Uncle Leo: Chemical?! She hasn't used that account since her branch closed.
<br>
What are you doing cashing her checks anyway?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Well, Kramer thought it would make her happy. (To Kramer) I never<br>
should have cashed those checks!<br>
<br>
Kramer: Hey, I didn't twist your arm.<br>
<br>
Uncle Leo: Your grandmother's on a very fixed income. What, are you broke?<br>
<br>
Jerry: Just call me if you hear anything. (hangs up and faces Kramer)
Well? <br>
I cashed the checks, the checks bounced and now my Nana's missing!<br>
<br>
Kramer: Well, don't look at me.<br>
<br>
Jerry: It's your fault!<br>
<br>
Kramer: My fault? Your Nana is missing because she's been passing those
bum<br>
checks all over town and she finally pissed off the wrong people.<br>
<br>
New scene.<br>
Mr. Morgan is sitting at an outdoor cafe, eating a candy bar with a knife
and<br>
fork. Noreen walks by and takes notice. Cut to Noreen and Elaine seated
at the<br>
counter at Monk's.<br>
<br>
Noreen: So anyway, it's caused a lot of problems. Dan thinks I'm interested
in<br>
Jerry, he won't let up.<br>
<br>
Elaine: I'm really sorry, but you can see why I'd make a mistake like
that.<br>
<br>
Noreen: No, why?<br>
<br>
Elaine: Well, you know, because he's a high talker.<br>
<br>
Noreen: He does raise his voice occasionally, but that's normal.<br>

like a<br>
woman, you know?<br>

Noreen: Well, that's something. So, Jerry thought I was flirting with
him.<br>
<br>
Elaine: Yeah.<br>
<br>
Noreen (cutting into a cookie with a knife and fork): Hm. He's kind of
a<br>
baritone, isn't he?<br>
<br>
Elaine: What are you doing?<br>
<br>
Noreen: I'm eating this cookie.<br>
<br>
Elaine: No, no, no, but why are you using a knife and a fork? Did you
just<br>
think of that?<br>
<br>
Noreen: No, I've seen people do it. I like it.<br>

over to PBS? You watch the station, don't you? You don't want to be a<br>
freeloader.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cut back to Jerry.<br>
