<p>Quotes and Scene summary:</p>
<p>============================================================================</p>
<p>% Opening monologue</p>
<p>Jerry: So, I'm on line at the supermarket. Two women in front of
me. One of</p>
<p>them, her total was eight dollars, the other three dollars. They
both</p>
<p>of course choose to pay by the use of the (pause and gesture to
audience</p>
<p>for response)</p>
<p>Audience: Cheque</p>
<p>Jerry: Cheque. Now, the fact is, if it's a woman in front of you
that's</p>
<p>writing the cheque, you will not be waiting long. I have noticed
that</p>
<p>women are very *fast* with cheques, y'know, 'cuz they write out
so many</p>
<p>cheques. The keys, they can never find in their purse, they don't
know</p>
<p>where that is, but the cheque book they got that. They never fumble
for</p>
<p>the cheque book-- the cheque book comes out of a holster: [&quot;draws&quot;
imaginary</p>
<p>book from an imaginary holster] ``Who do I make it out to?... There's
my</p>
<p>ID...''. There's something about a cheque that, to a man, is not
masculine.</p>
<p>I don't know exactly what it is... I think to a man, a cheque is
like a note </p>
<p>from your mother that says ``I don't have any money, but if you'll
</p>
<p>contact these people, I'm sure they'll stick up for me... If you
</p>
<p>just trust me this one time I don't have any money but I have </p>
<p>these... I wrote on these; is this of any value at all?''</p>
<p>[End monologue]</p>
<p>% Open at a video store where Jerry and some woman named &quot;Elaine&quot;
are </p>
<p>% apparently looking to rent a movie for the night.</p>
<p>Jerry: What's that one?</p>
<p>Elaine: &quot;Coccoon II: The Return&quot;. I guess they didn't
like it up there...</p>
<p>Jerry: Maybe they came back for Chinese food. Y'know Maureen Stapleton,
if</p>
<p>she gets a craving, she's probably screamin' at those aliens, &quot;I
</p>
<p>gotta have a Lo mein!&quot;</p>
<p>Elaine: Okay, what're we doing here? I have seen *everything*.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh yeah? I don't believe you've seen... this.</p>
<p>% Jerry shows Elaine some movie from the Adult section that's probably</p>
<p>% called &quot;The Sperminator&quot;, or something...</p>
<p>Elaine: Oh, lovely...</p>
<p>Jerry: Yeah...</p>
<p>Elaine: What do you think their parents think?</p>
<p>Jerry: &quot;So, uh, what's your son doing now, Dr. Stevens?&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Oh, he's a public fornicator. Yes, he's a fine boy...&quot;</p>
<p>Elaine: Y'know what? This would be a really funny gift for Pamela's
</p>
<p>birthday.</p>
<p>Jerry: Pamela? Do I know her?</p>
<p>Elaine: Yeah, you met her when we were going out.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh yeah, right...</p>
<p>Elaine: You have *no* idea who I'm talking about, do you?</p>
<p>Jerry: [quickly] No.</p>
<p>Elaine: Blonde hair remember? Glasses? [pause] Have you *totally*
blocked</p>
<p>out the entire time we were a couple?</p>
<p>% Bing!</p>
<p>Jerry: Riverside Drive.</p>
<p>Elaine: Right! In fact... No, never mind...</p>
<p>Jerry: Well, what is it?</p>
<p>Elaine: Well, a bunch of people are getting together tomorrow night
at some</p>
<p>bar for her birthday, but... you don't want to go to... that...
no.</p>
<p>Jerry: Wait a second, wait a second. We could work out a little
deal here.</p>
<p>Elaine: What little deal?</p>
<p>Jerry: I will go to that, if you go with me to a little family
wedding I </p>
<p>have on Saturday.</p>
<p>Elaine: A *wedding*!? Have you *lost* it, man?</p>
<p>Jerry: Y'know, my parents are coming in for this...</p>
<p>Elaine: They're coming in?</p>
<p>Jerry: Yeah, tomorrow.</p>
<p>Elaine: Hey, did your father ever get that hair weave?</p>
<p>Jerry: No, no... Still doin' the big *sweep* across.</p>
<p>Elaine: Why does he do that?</p>
<p>Jerry: Doesn't think anyone can tell?</p>
<p>Jerry: So c'mon, do we have a deal?</p>
<p>Elaine: A *wedding*?</p>
<p>Jerry: There's a lot of people to mock...</p>
<p>Elaine: Alright, what the Hell.</p>
<p>Jerry: Great!</p>
<p>Woman: When you're dead, you're dead. That's it. You're not goin'</p>
<p>anywhere...</p>
<p>% Still haven't figured *that* one out yet. Nevertheless, at the
bar </p>
<p>% the next night...</p>
<p>Elaine: C'mon lets go, c'mon...</p>
<p>Jerry: Was I supposed to bring something?</p>
<p>Elaine: You could have.</p>
<p>Jerry: I met her *one* time...</p>
<p>Elaine: It is not necessary.</p>
<p>Jerry: What did you say then?</p>
<p>Elaine: Sssshhhhhh!!!</p>
<p>Pamela: Hi</p>
<p>Elaine: Hi Pamela, you remember Jerry.</p>
<p>Pamela: Yes, we met.</p>
<p>Jerry: Hi, happy birthday.</p>
<p>Pamela: Ahh, everybody, this is Elaine and Jerry.</p>
<p>Guests: Hi</p>
<p>Jerry: I didn't bring anything.</p>
<p>Pamela: Ahh, I put you two right here.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh, Okay (turns to rest of table) I'm sorry, I didn't know
what</p>
<p>to bring, nobody told me.</p>
<p>% They sit down at a table next to each other. The piano man plays
</p>
<p>% your basic &quot;one-step-up-from-elevator-music&quot; (simply
'cuz you're not</p>
<p>% stuck in an elevator while listening to it). Across from Jerry
is</p>
<p>% a strikingly beautiful woman. She speaks:</p>
<p>Vanessa: How big a tip do you think it'd take to get him to stop?</p>
<p>Jerry: I'm in for five...</p>
<p>Vanessa: I'll supply the hat.</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself] Uh-oh... What do we have here...</p>
<p>Vanessa: Why don't you relax and take your jacket off?</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh, I can't-- I have a tendency to get chilly.</p>
<p>Vanessa: How masculine...</p>
<p>Jerry: Plus I'm wearing short sleeves, I don't want to expose my
tattoos.</p>
<p>[To himself] She's unbelievable!</p>
<p>% The guy beside Venus, er, I mean Vanessa interrupts to tell her
about this</p>
<p>% unseen guy next to him.</p>
<p>Roger: [To Vanessa] Hey, this guy says he knows Bricker...</p>
<p>Vanessa: Oh, you know Bricker! From where?</p>
<p>% With their conversation interrupted, Jerry ponders to himself...</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself] What's going on here? Gotta be her boyfriend,
she's</p>
<p>too good to be alone... What's the difference, I can't maneuver
</p>
<p>anyway with Elaine next to me...</p>
<p>Vanessa: [To Jerry] How do you know Pamela?</p>
<p>Jerry: Friend of a friend. And you?</p>
<!-- BeginAd01 --><!-- EndAd -->
<p>Vanessa: We went to law school together.</p>
<p>Elaine: Oh, Jerry!</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself] Oh no, not *now*...</p>
<p>Elaine: I had this dream last night and you were in it.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh really... [To himself] Oh God, I gotta get out of this...</p>
<p>Elaine: You were you, but, you weren't you...</p>
<p>Jerry: No kidding... [To himself] Why is this happening? Please,
make </p>
<p>her stop!</p>
<p>Elaine: I think, I think we were in my house where I grew up, and
you were </p>
<p>standing there, you were looking out the window--</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself] This is *brutal*...</p>
<p>Elaine: You turned around and you had these wooden teeth...</p>
<p>Jerry: How do you like that... [To himself] Can I turn now? Is
this </p>
<p>over? No, I can't, I can't... I'm stuck...</p>
<p>Elaine: Jerry? Are you listening to me?</p>
<p>Jerry: Yes, I *heard* you.</p>
<p>Pamela: Elaine, what's the name of that jewelry store you took
me to that </p>
<p>time?</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself] Thank *you*, Pamela!</p>
<p>Jerry: [To Vanessa] So, you're a lawyer...</p>
<p>Vanessa: Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft.</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself, quickly] Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim
and Taft. </p>
<p>Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft...</p>
<p>[To Vanessa] Of course, they handled my tattoo removal lawsuit!</p>
<p>Vanessa: Oh, that was you!</p>
<p>Jerry: Imagine, spelling &quot;Mom&quot; with two O's...</p>
<p>Vanessa: Very funny! What do you do?</p>
<p>Jerry: Comedian.</p>
<p>Vanessa: Really... That explains it...</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself, quickly] Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim
and Taft.</p>
<p>Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft.</p>
<p>Roger: Are you ready?</p>
<p>Vanessa: We gotta run. Happy birthday!</p>
<p>% The two of them get up an leave. Jerry panics n his own mind...</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself] I can't believe it-- I got *nothing*! I don't
even </p>
<p>know her name!</p>
<p>% Oh, poor Jerry. If only he would read my episode capsules, he
would've</p>
<p>% known her name 70 lines ago...</p>
<p>Jerry: [To himself, *very* quickly] Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim
and </p>
<p>Taft. Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppen... Sagman... Sag...</p>
<p>% A grim stare from Elaine knocks his concentration. After the
party, in </p>
<p>% the cab home...</p>
<p>Jerry: That wasn't so bad, really...</p>
<p>Elaine: Y'know, uh, you could use a little work on your manners.</p>
<p>Jerry: Why? What did I do?</p>
<p>% You mean besides not bringing anything?</p>
<p>Elaine: Well, I just don't appreciate these little &quot;courtesy
responses&quot;, </p>
<p>like I'm selling you aluminum siding.</p>
<p>Jerry: I was listening!</p>
<p>Elaine: No! You couldn't wait to get back to your little... &quot;conversation&quot;.</p>
<p>% Okay Jerry. Bottom of the ninth. Two on, down by one. Two strikes
on</p>
<p>% you. Let's see how you do in the clutch...</p>
<p>Jerry: No, you were talking about the, the um, the dream you had.</p>
<p>Elaine: Uh-huh...</p>
<p>% So far, so good.</p>
<p>Jerry: Where you had, uh, wooden teeth.</p>
<p>% Oops. Whiff.</p>
<p>Elaine: No! No! *You* had wooden teeth! *You* had wooden teeth!
*I* </p>
<p>didn't have wooden teeth, *you* did!</p>
<p>Jerry: Alright, so *I* had wooden teeth, so what?</p>
<p>Elaine: So nothing... Nothing...</p>
<p>% Cut to Jerry in a nightclub somewhere, doing another monologue...</p>
<p>Jerry: Apparently Plato, who came up with the concept of the platonic
</p>
<p>relationship, was pretty excited about it. He named it after </p>
<p>himself. He said ``Yeah, I got this new thing-- &quot;platonic&quot;.
My </p>
<p>idea, my name, callin' it after myself... What I do is, I go *out*</p>
<p>with the girls, I *talk* with them-- don't *do* anything... and
go </p>
<p>right home. What'dya think? I think it's going to be *big*!''</p>
<p>I bet you there were other guys in history that tried to get</p>
<p>relationships named after them, but it didn't work. Y'know, I bet
</p>
<p>you there were guys who tried to do it, just went: ``Hi, my name's
</p>
<p>Rico. Would you like to go to bed immediately? Hey, it's a </p>
<p>*&quot;Riconic&quot;* relationship...''</p>
<p>% Jerry gets home after the party. His place is characteristically
not</p>
<p>% vacant, but it's not Kramer inside-- it's his folks.</p>
<p>Jerry: Hey!</p>
<p>Morty: Ah, there he is!</p>
<p>Jerry: This is what I like, see? You come home and your parents
are in your</p>
<p>bed!</p>
<p>Helen: Y'know, Jerry, we don't have to do this...</p>
<p>Jerry: What are you talkin' about? It's fine, I love having you
here...</p>
<p>Helen: Tomorrow we'll go to a hotel.</p>
<p>Jerry: Ma, will you stop?</p>
<p>Helen: No, why should we take over your apartment?</p>
<p>Jerry: I don't care-- I'm sleeping next door.</p>
<p>Helen: Your friend Kramer doesn't mind?</p>
<p>Jerry: No, he's making a bouillabaisse.</p>
<p>Jerry: So Dad, lemme ask you a question. How many people work at
these big</p>
<p>law offices?</p>
<p>Morty: Depends on the firm.</p>
<p>Jerry: Yeah, but if you called up and described someone, do you
think they </p>
<p>would know who it was?</p>
<p>Morty: What's the matter? You need a lawyer?</p>
<p>Jerry: No, I met someone at this party, and I know where she works,
but I </p>
<p>don't know her name.</p>
<p>Morty: So why don't you ask someone who was at the party?</p>
<p>Jerry: Nah, the only one I could ask is Elaine, and I can't ask
her.</p>
<p>Helen: Why not?</p>
<p>Jerry: Because it's complicated-- there's some tension there.</p>
<p>Helen: He used to go with her...</p>
<p>Helen: Which one is she?</p>
<p>Morty: From Maryland. The one who brought you the chocolate covered
</p>
<p>cherries you didn't like.</p>
<p>Morty: Oh yeah, very alert. Warm person.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh yeah, she's great.</p>
<p>Helen: So, how come nothing materialized there?</p>
<p>Jerry: Well, it's a tough thing to talk about... I dunno...</p>
<p>Helen: I know what it was...</p>
<p>Jerry: You don't know what it was...</p>
<p>Helen: So, what was it?</p>
<p>Jerry: Well, we fight a lot for some reason...</p>
<p>% Both his parents respond in that &quot;You know so little son,
that's to be</p>
<p>% expected&quot;, sarcastic, know-it-all tone...</p>
<p>H + M: Oh, well...</p>
<p>Jerry: And there was a little problem with the physical chemistry...</p>
<p>% Oops. Cat got your collective tongue, folks? They occupy themselves</p>
<p>% for a few seconds, not knowing how to respond to *that*...</p>
<p>Helen: Well, I think she's a very attractive girl.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh, she is, she absolutely is.</p>
<p>Helen: I can see if there was a *weight* problem...</p>
<p>Jerry: No, it's not that. It wasn't all one-sided.</p>
<p>% Why, Jerry? How could anyone not like you?</p>
<p>Helen: You know, you can't be so particular. Nobody's perfect.</p>
<p>% Except maybe Jerry. Right, Mrs. Seinfeld?</p>
<p>Jerry: I know, I know...</p>
<p>Morty: Y'know Jerry, it's a good thing I wasn't so particular.</p>
<p>Helen: Idiot... [To Jerry] So who're you looking for, Sophia Loren?</p>
<p>Jerry: That's got *nothin'* to do with it.</p>
<p>Morty: How about Loni Anderson?</p>
<p>Helen: Where do you get Loni Anderson?</p>
<p>Morty: Why, what's wrong with Loni Anderson?</p>
<p>Helen: I like *Elaine* more than Loni Anderson...</p>
<p>% That makes a bunch of us, Mrs. Seinfeld...</p>
<p>Jerry: What are you two talking about? Look, Elaine just wasn't
&quot;the one&quot;.</p>
<p>Helen: And this other one's &quot;the one&quot;?</p>
<p>Jerry: I dunno, maybe...</p>
<p>Morty: So ask Elaine there for the number.</p>
<p>Jerry: I can't-- she'll get upset. I never talk about other women
with her,</p>
<p>especially this one tonight.</p>
<p>Helen: How could you still see her if your not interested?</p>
<p>Jerry: We're *friends*.</p>
<p>Morty: Doesn't sound like you're friends to me. If you were friends
you'd </p>
<p>ask her for the number. Do you know where this other one works?</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh yeah...</p>
<p>% Yeah, but can he say it six times fast? Actually, he probably
can...</p>
<p>Morty: Well, go up to the office.</p>
<p>Helen: Up to her office?</p>
<p>Morty: Go to the building. She goes out to lunch, doesn't she?</p>
<p>Jerry: I guess...</p>
<p>Morty: So, you stand in the lobby, by the elevator, and wait for
her to </p>
<p>come down for lunch.</p>
<p>Jerry: You mean &quot;stakeout&quot; the lobby?</p>
<p>Helen: Morty, that's ridiculous. Just ask Elaine for the number!</p>
<p>Morty: He doesn't want to ask Elaine for the number.</p>
<p>Helen: So you've got him standing by the elevator like a *dope*!
What </p>
<p>happens when he sees her?</p>
<p>Morty: He pretends he *bumped* into her!</p>
<p>Jerry: Y'know what? This is *not* that *bad* an idea...</p>
<p>% At the building, G+J start to plot their strategy.</p>
<p>George: What does she look like?</p>
<p>Jerry: I dunno. Hard to say.</p>
<p>George: What actress does she remind you of?</p>
<p>Jerry: Loni Anderson.</p>
<p>George: Loni Anderson?!</p>
<p>Jerry: What, there's something wrong with Loni Anderson?</p>
<p>Jerry: Hey listen, thanks again for running over here. I appreciate
it.</p>
<!-- BeginAd02 --><!-- EndAd -->
<p>George: Yeah, sure. I was showing a condo on 48th st. Besides,
you think</p>
<p>I wanna miss this?</p>
<p>Jerry: I'm a little nervous.</p>
<p>George: Yeah, me too...</p>
<p>Jerry: If I see her, what do I say that I'm doing here in the building?</p>
<p>George: You came to see me; I work in the building.</p>
<p>Jerry: What do you do?</p>
<p>George: I'm an *architect*.</p>
<p>Jerry: You're an *architect*?</p>
<p>George: I'm not?</p>
<p>Jerry: I don't see architecture comin from you...</p>
<p>George: I suppose *you* could be an architect...</p>
<p>Jerry: I never said that I was the architect. Just somethin' else...</p>
<p>George: Alright, she's not even gonna ask, if we *see* her, which
is remote.</p>
<p>Jerry: Well what'dya want me to say, that I just wandered in here?!</p>
<p>George: We're having lunch with a friend-- he works in the building.</p>
<p>Jerry: What is *his* name?</p>
<p>George: Bert... Har... bin... son. Bert Har-bin-son.</p>
<p>Jerry: Bert Harbinson? It sounds made up.</p>
<p>George: No good? Alright, how about Art... Corr..... </p>
<p>Jerry: Art Corr...</p>
<p>George: ...velay...</p>
<p>Jerry: Corvelay?</p>
<p>George: Yeah, right.</p>
<p>Jerry: Well, what does *he* do?</p>
<p>George: He's an importer.</p>
<p>Jerry: Just imports, no exports?</p>
<p>George: He's an importer/exporter, okay? </p>
<p>George: Say, did Elaine ever call you back?</p>
<p>Jerry: No, I guess she's still mad.</p>
<p>George: I don't understand, you never talk to her about other women?</p>
<p>Jerry: Never.</p>
<p>% Bing! The elevator opens up and...</p>
<p>Jerry: Wait a second... That's her... on the right.</p>
<p>George: I forgot who I am! Who am I?!</p>
<p>Jerry: You're you. We're having lunch with Art Corvelay.</p>
<p>George: Vandelay!</p>
<p>Jerry: Corvelay!</p>
<p>George: Let me be the architect, I can do it!</p>
<p>% Jerry ignores George and approaches Vanessa.</p>
<p>Jerry: Hey, hey... Pamela's birthday party, didn't I see you there...
</p>
<p>Jerry.</p>
<p>Vanessa: Sure! Hi!</p>
<p>Jerry: This is George. [&quot;Grasps&quot; for her name] I'm sorry...</p>
<p>Vanessa: Vanessa.</p>
<p>George: Nice to meet you.</p>
<p>Jerry: Ah, Sagman, Bennet, Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft.</p>
<p>Vanessa: That's right! What're you doing here?</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh, were meeting a friend of ours for lunch. He works here
in the</p>
<p>building.</p>
<p>George: Yeah, Art *Vandelay*.</p>
<p>Vanessa: Really? Which company?</p>
<p>Jerry: I don't know. He's an importer.</p>
<p>Vanessa: Importer?</p>
<p>George: ...And exporter.</p>
<p>Jerry: He's an importer/exporter.</p>
<p>George: I'm, uh, I'm an architect.</p>
<p>Vanessa: Really. What do you design?</p>
<p>George: Uh, railroads, uh...</p>
<p>Vanessa: I thought engineers do that.</p>
<p>George: They can...</p>
<p>Jerry: Y'know I'm sorry you had to leave so early the other night.</p>
<p>Vanessa: Oh, me too. My cousin had to go back to Boston.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh, that guy was your *cousin*!</p>
<p>Vanessa: Yeah, and that woman was your--</p>
<p>Jerry: Friend!</p>
<p>George: I'll just, uh, get a paper...</p>
<p>Jerry: So, um, do you date immature men?</p>
<p>Vanessa: Almost exclusively...</p>
<p>% I'm next! I'm next!</p>
<p>%</p>
<p>% After yours truly goes through a reality check, we cut to Jerry's
</p>
<p>% apartment where mother and son engage in a friendly game of Scrabble.</p>
<p>% Jerry's Mom sings to herself while she apparently tries to make
words</p>
<p>% out of a meaningless string of letters.</p>
<p>Helen: Bum bum bum bum... I have no letters... Bum bum bum bum...</p>
<p>Jerry: Ma, will you go already?</p>
<p>Helen: Bum bum bum bum...</p>
<p>% She picks up a nearby dictionary...</p>
<p>Jerry: What are you doing?!</p>
<p>Helen: Wait, I just want to see something...</p>
<p>Jerry: You can't look in there, we're playing!</p>
<p>% The K-Man cometh...</p>
<p>Morty: Evening, Mr. Kramer!</p>
<p>Kramer: Hey Morty! [To Jerry] Salad dressing?</p>
<p>Jerry: Look.</p>
<p>Helen: &quot;Quo&quot;? Is that a word?</p>
<p>Jerry: Maybe!</p>
<p>Helen: Will you challenge it?</p>
<p>Jerry: Ma, you can't look up words in the dictionary! Dad, she's
cheating!</p>
<p>Kramer: &quot;Quo&quot;? That's not a word.</p>
<p>Helen: [To Jerry] You're such a stickler...</p>
<p>Jerry: Well put *something* down, you're taking twenty minutes
on this.</p>
<p>So is Uncle Mac, and Artie, they're all coming over here before
the</p>
<p>wedding?</p>
<p>Helen: They'll be here at two o'clock... Oh, Elaine called. She
said </p>
<p>she'd be here at 2:30. Oh, and she says ``Hope your meeting went
</p>
<p>well with Art... &quot;Vandelay&quot;?''</p>
<p>Jerry: She said *what*?</p>
<p>Helen: Just what I said, here.</p>
<p>% She hands Jerry the note. He reads it.</p>
<p>Jerry: She knows! Oh, I am *such* a *jackass*...</p>
<p>Helen: She knows what?</p>
<p>Jerry: She knows the whole stupid thing... Vanessa and the elevator...</p>
<p>% The brute secretly offers up a word to Mrs. Seinfeld...</p>
<p>Helen: No, no, no, that won't do. He may have a &quot;Z&quot;...</p>
<p>Morty: So, how did she find out?</p>
<p>Jerry: Because, Vanessa probably told Pamela, and Pamela probably
told </p>
<p>Elaine.</p>
<p>% While, they talk, Kramer has covertly scoped Jerry's tiles to
confirm </p>
<p>% that Jer doesn't have a &quot;Z&quot;. This goes unnoticed by
Jerry, who continues</p>
<p>% to talk with his Pop...</p>
<p>Morty: So, what are you? Afraid of her?</p>
<p>Jerry: Yes. *Yes* *I* *am*!</p>
<p>Jerry: What else did she say on the phone?</p>
<p>Helen: Whatever I wrote down.</p>
<p>Jerry: Yeah, but what was the tone in her voice? How did she sound?</p>
<p>Helen: Who am I, Rich Little?</p>
<p>Morty: Well, she can't be too mad-- she's still coming to the wedding.</p>
<p>Jerry: Yeah, but now I'm nervous.</p>
<p>Helen: Oh, stop it.</p>
<p>% She makes her move and tallies the points...</p>
<p>Jerry: &quot;Quone&quot;?</p>
<p>Helen: ...30...31...</p>
<p>Jerry: &quot;Quone&quot;? No, I'm afraid that I'm going to have
to challenge that.</p>
<p>Helen: ...32...</p>
<p>Kramer: No, you don't have to challenge that. That's a word. That's
a </p>
<p>*definite* word.</p>
<p>Jerry: I am challenging...</p>
<p>Kramer: Quone: to quone something.</p>
<p>Jerry: Uh-huh...</p>
<p>Helen: I'm not playing with you anymore...</p>
<p>Morty: Quone's not a word...</p>
<p>Jerry: No good. Sorry. There it is. Get it off...</p>
<p>Helen: Why did you make me put that down?</p>
<p>Kramer: Nah, we need a *medical* dictionary! If a patient gets
difficult, </p>
<p>you *quone* him...</p>
<p>% End Act II. Open at Jerry's apartment with a few people mingling
about,</p>
<p>% waiting to go to the wedding. Jerry is talking to Carol &lt;I
miss the first</p>
<p>% few seconds here. Sorry&gt;</p>
<p>Carol: You want some funny material, you oughta come down to where
I work,</p>
<p>now that's a sitcom!</p>
<p>Jerry: You must have quite a time down there. [Checks his watch]</p>
<p>Carol: We got plenty of time...</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just waiting for someone...</p>
<p>Mac: Watch what you say to this guy-- he'll put it in his next
act!</p>
<p>Jerry: Yeah, yeah...</p>
<p>Mac: Jerry, did I tell you that I'm writing a book? An autobiography.</p>
<p>Jerry: Yeah, Uncle Mac, you mentioned it...</p>
<p>Mac: It's based on all my experiences!</p>
<p>Jerry: That's perfect. [Elaine enters] Could you excuse me one
second. </p>
<p>I'm sorry.</p>
<p>% Jerry goes over and greets Elaine.</p>
<p>Jerry: How do you do, Jerry Seinfeld.</p>
<p>Elaine: Oh, how do you do. Elaine Benes.</p>
<p>Jerry: Um, do you want to do this now, or do you want to wait until
we get</p>
<p>in the car?</p>
<p>Elaine: Oh no, let's do it now.</p>
<p>Jerry: Alright, the whole elevator business, let me just explain--</p>
<p>Elaine: Okay...</p>
<p>Artie: Jerry, were you goin' with us?</p>
<p>Jerry: No, I'm gonna take my car.</p>
<p>Artie: That's why I brought the wagon. Why the Hell did I bring
the wagon?</p>
<p>Jerry: Anyway, you know why I didn't ask you, I mean I felt so
</p>
<p>uncomfortable, and you were *so* annoyed in the cab.</p>
<p>Elaine: Well, Jerry, I never saw you flirt with anyone before.
It was </p>
<p>quite the spectacle.</p>
<p>Carol: Jerry, we'll see you there. Bye, Elaine.</p>
<p>Elaine: Oh, bye. Good to see you.</p>
<p>Artie: Oh, we didn't meet.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh, I'm sorry. Elaine, this is my cousin Artie Levine.</p>
<p>% As in Liveen.</p>
<p>Artie: Le*vine*.</p>
<p>% As in Levyne. He leaves with Carol.</p>
<!-- BeginAd03 --><!-- EndAd -->
<p>Jerry: Yeah, &quot;Le*vine*&quot;. And I'm Jerry Cougar Mellencamp...
Anyway, I </p>
<p>admit it was a fairly ridiculous thing to do, but I mean, I mean,</p>
<p>obviously we have a little problem here.</p>
<p>Elaine: Yeah, obviously.</p>
<p>Jerry: I mean, if we're gonna be friends, we gotta be able to talk
about</p>
<p>other people...</p>
<p>Elaine: Couldn't agree more.</p>
<p>Jerry: Good.</p>
<p>Elaine: Good.</p>
<p>Jerry: Good.</p>
<p>Elaine: Great!</p>
<p>Jerry: Great? Where do you get &quot;great&quot;?</p>
<p>Elaine: It's great to... talk about... other people...</p>
<p>Jerry: ...Guys.</p>
<p>Elaine: Yeah.</p>
<p>Jerry: Uh-huh... Yeah... So, anybody specific?</p>
<p>Elaine: No. A general guy.</p>
<p>Jerry: Oh *really*... Elaine Marie Benes...</p>
<p>Elaine: What? No, it's not a big deal.</p>
<p>Jerry: No, that's great! That's terrific!</p>
<p>Elaine: No, we just met...</p>
<p>Jerry: Doesn't matter. What's the young man's name? I would like
to </p>
<p>meet him.</p>
<p>Elaine: I don't think so...</p>
<p>Jerry: Well, what does he do? Is he an artisan, a craftsman, a
labourer </p>
<p>of some sort?</p>
<p>Elaine: Wall street.</p>
<p>Jerry: Ahh, high finance: bulls... bears... people from Conneticut.</p>
<p>Elaine: And he happens to be pretty good lookin'</p>
<p>Jerry: [pause] Alright, sir.</p>
<p>Elaine: And... he's *hilarious*.</p>
<p>Jerry: Now that's not fair! So where did you meet this guy?</p>
<p>Elaine: I &quot;staked&quot; out his health club.</p>
<p>% This is why I'll never be a writer. To me, this would've been
&quot;stook</p>
<p>% out&quot;. I'm such a dweeb...</p>
<p>Jerry: When you're on a stakeout, do you find it's better to stand
up </p>
<p>against the wall, or kinda crouch down behind a big plant?...</p>
<p>% Closing monologue</p>
<p>Jerry: Y'know I think that even if you've had a relationship with
someone,</p>
<p>or let's say, *especially* if you've had a relationship with someone
</p>
<p>and you try to become friends afterwards, it's very difficult.
</p>
<p>Isn't this? It's hard. Because, you know each other so well, you
</p>
<p>know all of each others tricks. It's like two magicians, trying
to</p>
<p>entertain each other.</p>
<p>The one goes, &quot;Look, a rabbit.&quot;</p>
<p>The other goes, &quot;So? ... I believe this is your card.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Look, why don't we just saw each other in half and call it
a night?</p>
<p>Okay?&quot;</p>
