GEORGE
Ho, ho, ho! Hes got a live one. Hes just reeling his big fish in!
JERRY
Hey, can I have my dollar back?
ELAINE
(While leaving) Thats right. (Mocking Puddy, she puts her hand up) High-five! (Turns around, putting her hand behind her back like he had done) On the flip side! (As Elaine is leaving, she mutters to herself) Takin me to Arbys
JERRY
(Sees Elaine leaving) Hey! Wh-where are you?
PUDDY
Lets finish this up.
JERRY
Did you two break up?
PUDDY
(While punching up numbers on a calculator) That chicks whacked. Were history. (Back to the transaction) I just left out a couple of things uh, rust-proofing
JERRY
"Rust-proofing"?
PUDDY
(Reading off what hes adding up on the calculator) Transport charge, storage surcharge, additional overcharge, finders fee
JERRY
"Finders fee"? It was on the lot!
PUDDY
Yeah, thats right. (Continues reading off) Uh, floor mats, keys
JERRY
Keys?!
GEORGE
(Watching the mechanic leave) I know about the vein! I cant believe this guy..
JERRY
Hey, George!
GEORGE
Hey, starving! (Grabs the box from Jerry)
JERRY
No, last one. Listen, you gotta help me out. Elaine and Puddy just broke up, hes treatin me just like a regular customer, now!
[Setting
Puddys office]
JERRY
(Threatening tone) So, listen, Puddy. When we first started this deal, I thought things were gonna be different. Now, if you want to play hard ball, I got my friend, George, here, and he can play pretty hard ball. (Leaving the negotiation to George) George, vein it up.
GEORGE
All right, Puddy, listen, and listen good I need to know the name of that mechanic that walks around here. Big guy, a liar. Short name. Sam? Moe? Sol?!
JERRY
George! Can we focus on the car, here?
PUDDY
(Handing a sheet of paper to Jerry) Jerry, I just need your signature here, and well get you that yellow car ready to go.
JERRY
Yellow? I wanted black.
PUDDY
I cant give you black at that price.
JERRY
(Pleading) George, would you help me, please?
GEORGE
(Standing up) Yes. This is wrong!
JERRY
Sing it, sister!
GEORGE
Just because a candy bar fails to fall from its perch
JERRY
(Exasperated) Oh, God
GEORGE
(Losing it) does not imply transfer of ownership. Moe, Sol, or Lem is not gonna get away with this!
JERRY
(To Puddy) Ill be right back.
PUDDY
Okay.
JERRY
Hey, George!
ELAINE
Hello?
JERRY
(Over the phone) Elaine, youve got to get back down to the dealer. Puddy is screwin me on this car, which is yellow now!
ELAINE
(Jokingly mimicking Jerry) Who is this?
JERRY
(Banging the phone against the booth) Elaine!
ELAINE
What?!
JERRY
You gotta get back together with Puddy so I can make this deal.
ELAINE
(Sarcastically) You know, just that you cared enough to call means so much, Jerry.
JERRY
Youre gonna get back together, anyway. Its thousands of dollars!
ELAINE
Oh, I dont know..
JERRY
Come on. Then you dont have to see him again til my 15,000-mile check.
ELAINE
Well, will you pay my cab fare out there?
JERRY
Fine.
ELAINE
And I didnt like that roast beef, so how bout some lunch?
JERRY
No. No lunch.
ELAINE
Ill hang this phone up right now!
JERRY
All right! Lunch!
ELAINE
Ill see ya. (Hanging up the phone)
JERRY
Bye. (Hangs up)
ELAINE
Uh
JERRY
No, no. No, Elaine, the car can wait. Whats important is you two getting back together. Eh, then well talk about the car.
ELAINE
(Raising her finger at him, in an authoritative tone) David..
JERRY
Okay. Now, I know this is an important decision. Why dont we all just sit down and talk about it? Come on, come on. (All three sit down) Now, look, you both find each other attractive, right?
ELAINE AND PUDDY
Right.
JERRY
Clearly, no one else can stand to be with either one of you.
PUDDY
Good point.
JERRY
(Smiling, like a salesman) All right. Now, what do I have to do to put you two in a relationship today?
PUDDY
Theres a mental hospital right near here.
JERRY
All right. Elaine, David, I believe we have a deal here in principle Arbys no more than once a month. And in exchange, Elaine comes to your softball game, and doesnt read a book.
PUDDY
I can live with that.
JERRY
So, youre back together?
PUDDY
Yeah.
JERRY
All right, all right. All right, thats enough! Lets get back to my deal. That undercoating, thats a rip-off, isnt it, David?
PUDDY
Oh, we dont even know what it is.
JERRY
So, Im gettin the insiders deal?
ELAINE
(To Jerry) You couldnt just give him one high-five?
JERRY
And where does it end? Then everyones doin it. Its like the wave at ball games. Air quotes. The phrase, "Dont go there." - Someones gotta take a stand!
ELAINE
So, George, I still dont understand - how was that a setup?
JERRY
And who were you tryin to set up, anyway? The mechanic or the manager?
GEORGE
What was that?
JERRY
I think theres a mental hospital near here.
PUDDY
Ow!
JERRY
So, Puddy wear's a man fur?
ELAINE
He was struttin' around the coffee shop like Stein Erickson.
JERRY
And, of course, you find fur morally reprehensible.
ELAINE
We never dated in winter.
JERRY
You might want to get a look at that bathing suit drawer.
GEORGE
An apartment-warming gift? We got to give presents to people for moving? Birthdays, Christmas, it's enough gifts. I would like one month off.
JERRY
Kramer said it's a perfect gift. That's what we're gettin' him.
GEORGE
All right, but we're not buyin' it at Bloomingdale's. I will buy it, you pay me back later. I'll sniff out a deal. I have a sixth sense.
JERRY
Cheapness is not a sense.
ELAINE
I can't stand Joe Mayo's parties. You know, the second you walk in, he's got you workin' for him. 'Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you keep an eye on the ice, make sure we have enough?' Uh...
JERRY
I had a great time at the last one. I was in charge of the music. I turned that mother out.
KRAMER
You got any pliers?
JERRY
What, has Newman got another army man stuck in his ear?
KRAMER
Yeah, so now I can peek to see if anyone is waiting to jack me with a sock full of pennies.
JERRY
But then anyone can just look in and see you.
ELAINE
I'm sorry I can't stay for the... second act.
JERRY
Hey, George. Here's the model number on that chair, by the way.
NEWMAN
Wallet.
JERRY
What?
KRAMER
Nobody carries wallets anymore. I mean, they went out with powdered wigs. Yeah, see here's what you need. Just a couple of cards and your bankroll. See, keep the big bills on the outside.
JERRY
That's a five.
GEORGE
Hey, look at this. This is the same massage chair we're gettin' for Joe Mayo, $60 cheaper.
JERRY
Except the store's in Delaware.
GEORGE
I'll have 'em overnight it.
JERRY
Maybe cheapness is a sense. You know it is better without this big wallet. It's more comfortable.
GEORGE
It doesn't matter if it's more comfortable. It's wrong.
JERRY
Why?
GEORGE
Because important things go in a case. You got a skull for your brain, a plastic sleeve for your comb, and a wallet for your money.
JERRY
But look at this thing. It's-it's huge. You got more cow here than here.
GEORGE
I need everything in there.
JERRY
Irish money?
GEORGE
I might go there.
JERRY
Show this card at any participating Orlando-area Exxon station...to get your free 'Save the Tiger' poster.
NEWMAN
Uh, you, uh, you better put something on.
JERRY
George, I am loving this no wallet thing.
GEORGE
A man carries a wallet.
JERRY
You know, the very fact that you oppose this makes me think I'm onto something.
JOY MAYO
Hey, Jerry.
JERRY
Hey, Joe Mayo. Nice place.
JOY MAYO
Thanks. Jerry...
JERRY
Music?
JOY MAYO
Actually, can you keep an eye on the aquarium and make sure nobody taps on the glass?
JERRY
But I could do that and the music.
JOY MAYO
Oh, no, don't worry about the music. Just... have fun!
JERRY
I was ready to get jiggy with it.
PUDDY
Hey.
JERRY
Hey, Elaine.
ELAINE
Hey. I think you know Dr... Zaius.
JERRY
So, Elaine, notice anything different about my... pants?
GEORGE
No, I don't have it yet.
JERRY
So, we're givin' him nothing?
GEORGE
No, I brought a picture of the chair.
JERRY
Did you at least get him a card?
PUDDY
Sure thing, Joe Mayo.
JERRY
Hi, I'm Jerry. How do you like my pants?
KERI
Nice.
JERRY
(talking to George) It's working. (to the girl, who's tapping on the aquarium) Don't tap on the glass.
ELAINE
So now Joe Mayo wants me to buy him a new coat.
JERRY
Because you threw it out.
ELAINE
No, because I was in charge of the coats. It's... insane.
JERRY
But you did actually throw his coat out the window.
ELAINE
But he doesn't know that. As far as he knows, somebody stole it, and that's the person who should be responsible.
JERRY
But that's you.
GEORGE
Well, I'm satisfied. Uh...my back is...killing me.
JERRY
Of course. Because of that wallet. You-you got a filing cabinet under half of your ass.
GEORGE
There, there I'm fine.
JERRY
What was that?
KERI
Ready to go?
JERRY
All set. I can't believe I'm going dancing.
KERI
You don't go that often?
JERRY
No, because it's so stupid. Shall we?
KERI
Do me a favor. Can you hold this stuff for me?
JERRY
Compact, lipstick, all this?
KERI
And can you help to carry my keys?
JERRY
What are you, a medieval dungeon master?
KERI
And a tin of altoids.
JERRY
Ow! Sharp key.
ELAINE
So, you had to carry some of Keri's stuff. Big deal.
JERRY
You don't understand. I went on a successful pocket diet, and I want to keep that weight off.
ELAINE
You know what? We sell this thing at Peterman that would be perfect for you.
JERRY
Not more of that crap from the Titanic?
ELAINE
No. No. It's a small men's carryall.
JERRY
I'm not carrying a purse.
ELAINE
It's not a purse. It's European.
JERRY
Oh.
ELAINE
Hey, did George buy Joe Mayo that chair yet?
JERRY
I don't know.
GEORGE
Yeah?
JERRY
Hey, George, did you get Joe Mayo that chair yet?
GEORGE
Not yet. Oh! Ho ho! God...
JERRY
What?
ELAINE
Did he get it?
JERRY
No.
GEORGE
(hearing Elaine over the phone) What, she's out?
JERRY
Well, so what? You're gettin' a deal, right? We'll split it three ways.
GEORGE
Allllll right!
JERRY
What is that noise?
GEORGE
(hangs up the phone) That's my toaster. I got to go. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!
JERRY
You know, sometimes I get the feeling George isn't being completely honest with me.
ELAINE
88th Street? That's where Joe Mayo lives. That's the coat!
JERRY
What was that pop sound?
KERI
Nice carryall.
JERRY
It's European.
KERI
Do you still have my lipstick?
JERRY
Uh, yeah, I think I do. I can never find anything in here. Ah, here it is. So, that Joe Mayo throws the worst parties, doesn't he? So what was your job?
KERI
My job was to keep you away from the music.
JERRY
What, he doesn't like my taste in music?
KERI
Guess not.
JERRY
You should've been there last year. I got jiggy with it!
KRAMER
Yeah, something like that.
JERRY
I have to do what?
KRAMER
All you have to do is wear the fur so Silvio thinks it's yours.
JERRY
I'm not wearing the fur.
KRAMER
Well, then, Newman and I, we get thrown out of the building.
JERRY
Is that right?
KRAMER
All right, why don't you just take a good, hard look at what your life will be like if I'm not around?
JERRY
Newman, too?
KRAMER
Oh, come on, man! Well, I'll tell you what, if you do this, I'll give you that walkman you're always asking about.
JERRY
That's my walkman!
KRAMER
And you'll get it back.
JERRY
All right.
KRAMER
Oh, hey, and by the way, uh, that walkman was broke when you gave it to me.
JERRY
George, did you get that chair yet?
GEORGE
It gets here when it gets here. Would you stop ridin' me?
JERRY
You know what? Just call up and cancel it. I'm out.
GEORGE
Excuse me?
JERRY
Joe Mayo doesn't like my taste in music. He's not gettin' a gift from me.
