GEORGE
Oh, so now I have to buy this whole chair by myself?
JERRY
No, you don't have to buy anything.
GEORGE
I already bought it! I've been lyin' to you for three days, and now you're all screwin' me!
JERRY
I don't understand. Why didn't you tell us you had it?
GEORGE
I needed it! My back is... a little tweaked.
JERRY
Because of your giant wallet. Just get rid of it!
GEORGE
Never! It is a part of me. I will just return the chair, and it will be easy, because the receipt is in my good friend.
JERRY
Your good friend is morbidly obese.
GEORGE
Well, at least, I'm not carrying a purse.
JERRY
It's not a purse. It's European!
KRAMER
All right, Silvio's down there. He's shoveling the walk. Now, all you gotta do is put this on, you go down to the corner, you pick up a paper, and you come right back.
JERRY
All right.
KRAMER
There you go.
JERRY
How do I look?
GEORGE
My receipts! The chair! My tiger poster!
JERRY
Hey, Silvio, just out for a little stroll in my favorite fur coat.
SILVIO
That is your coat?
JERRY
It sure is.
SILVIO
Kramer says you need it because you're an entertainer and you're desperate for attention.
JERRY
That's true.
KRAMER
Jerry, you forgot your purse.
JERRY
Oh, thanks.
KRAMER
Hey, Silvio, look at Jerry here, prancing around in his coat with his purse. Yup, he's a dandy. He's a real fancy boy.
JERRY
Maybe this isn't my coat.
ELAINE
Jerry, where'd you get it? That's his coat.
JERRY
No, it's not. It's mine. I'm a fancy boy.
KRAMER
That must be the man that's sleeping with your wife.
JERRY
Hey! Officer! Someone took my European carryall!
COP
Your what?
JERRY
The...black, leather...thing with a strap.
COP
You mean a purse?
JERRY
Yes, a purse. I carry a purse!
ELAINE
Yeah, he was waitin' inside his apartment for him with a sock full of pennies.
JERRY
He should have had a reverse peephole.
PUDDY
Hey, Babe.
JERRY
Hello? Hello?
PUDDY
All signs point to 'Yes!'
JERRY
So your saying UNICEF is a scam?
KRAMER
It's the perfect cover for a money laundering operation . No one can keep track of all those kids with the little orange boxes of change.
JERRY
Oh! No it's Sally Weaver.
KRAMER
Oh! Yeah your old college roommate huh?
JERRY
No, It's Susan Ross's old college roommate; she moved to New York a few years ago . she's trying to become an actress.
KRAMER
Hmmm,, Dramatica comedia heh!
JERRY
Untalented, She's always inviting me to see her in some bad play in tiny room without ventilation. It's really depressing.
KRAMER
Euh.. We don't go to enough theater.
JERRY
She should just give up.
KRAMER
Why don't you just give up?
JERRY
Kramer!!!
KRAMER
At least that's what Jerry says. Now face it. If it hasn't happen it's not gonna happen. All right, we go grab some bouffe . Join us?
JERRY
So......Susan's dead.....
KRAMER
I think she was happy someone finally said it.
JERRY
Why'd you have to say anything to her?
KRAMER
'felt that the conversation was lagging.
JERRY
Why can't you ever keep your big mouth shut?
ELAINE
You know, maybe Kramer is right, some people should just give up . I have.
JERRY
What did you wanna be?
ELAINE
I don't remember, but it certainly wasn't this. Look at this cartoon in the New Yorker, I don't get this.
JERRY
I don't either.
ELAINE
Come on, We're two intelligent people here. We can figure this out. Now we got a dog and a cat in an office.
JERRY
It looks like my accountant's office but there's no pets working there.
GEORGE
try shaking it...(long pause) Well,Janet should be here any minute.
JERRY
You've been hiding her from us. you must really like her?
ELAINE
Jerry, She looks exactly like you.
JERRY
She does not.
ELAINE
Well maybe she doesn't, I don't care.
JERRY
Hey! Kramer.
KRAMER
hey! you got some messages.. Yeahumm.. .George, George, Elaine, George again, Elaine, Newman; but that was a crank call. and some Sally woman called said "Thanks a lot, she's quitting the business, you ruined her life.
JERRY
What! You're the one who ruined her life.
KRAMER
Well that's not how she remembers it.
JERRY
Well, I got to talk her out of this.
KRAMER
I thought you said she stinks
JERRY
She does stink and she should quit. But I don't want it to be because of me. It should be the traditional route; years of rejections and failures till she's spit out the bottom of the porn industry.
KRAMER
Aahh...Who's Janet?
JERRY
George's girlfriend, Elaine thinks she looks like me but I think it's as you would say,kookie talk.
KRAMER
yeah, she's a nice girl, kinda quiet though.
JERRY
What are you doing? Don't tell a woman she looks like a man and George doesn't want to hear his girlfriend looks like me and frankly neither do I
KRAMER
Well how should I have "broached the subject"
JERRY
You don't broach, you keep your mouth shut.
KRAMER
Well sounds like someone's having a bad day.
JERRY
Yeah! Because of you.
KRAMER
Well, I think one of us should leave.
JERRY
Sally, you can't quit the business. This is all because of me.
SALLY
(nods) Hehumm!!
JERRY
You can't give up. You don't think people tell me I stink? When I'm on stage that's all I hear; You stink, You suck. We like magic.
SALLY
Really?
JERRY
Of course, I stink, you stink. It's show bizz. everybody stinks..
SALLY
Yeah! You've been stinking since the Eighties.
JERRY
All right, I think we've covered my act. Now you get out there and stink it up with everybody else.
SALLY
Right!, Yesss!! Thank you I'm gonna do it. (starts to eat her food)
JERRY
NOW!!!!.... (she leaves in a hurry)
ELAINE
Well I've asked every one at work and nobody gets this cartoon. I mean I don't understand why no one can explain it, but I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
JERRY
Oh! I think we're at the bottom.
GEORGE
What does that mean?
JERRY
Yeah. What does that mean?
ELAINE
Enjoy. (she leaves)
JERRY
Elaine huh?.. She's completely..
GEORGE
Oh! I know....'Cos you don't think Janet?..
JERRY
No....
GEORGE
Why would I...
JERRY
It's ludicrous..
GEORGE
Yes.
JERRY
For either one of us..
GEORGE
No...
JERRY
So...
GEORGE
Exactly.
JERRY
I'm not gay.
GEORGE
Where's the crazy man, Come on up.
JERRY
Come on in here.
GEORGE
Haaaaaa!!!
JERRY
What's happening? What, you doing, come and talk to us.
KRAMER
I've made an important life decision.
JERRY
Lets talk about that.
KRAMER
I know you want me to keep my big mouth shut and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm never gonna talk again.
JERRY
Yeah right.
GEORGE
Silence YES!!
JERRY
Kramer you're never gonna be able to completely stop talking.
KRAMER
Jerry, ninety four percent of communications is non-verbal. Here watch.
JERRY
Well what does this mean?
KRAMER
That's the idea.
JERRY
Kramer there's no way you stick to this.
KRAMER
(makes a zipper gesture to his mouth) ..Weeeeeepp!!
JERRY
Oh! you just startin' now?
ELAINE
Oh! really (laughs) well you know..... I have others
JERRY
Sally, I can't believe you're already doing a One-woman show?
SALLY
No, no.. It's just a little performance piece I wrote... You know what? You really inspired me,oKay, a tear.
JERRY
Ah! There you are.(Kramer motions silence)
SALLY
Hi everybody think you're really going to like this 'cos it' about me...All right it's not just about me It's about me and this guy; Jerry Seinfeld. who I like to call; The Devil...Okay, Okay so.. I run into this Jerry on the street and he says to me " Sally, You stink, You should give up acting." Oh! I'm doing Jerry Now so you've got imagine I have ; horns, a tail and hooks instead of feet. (big laughs from the audience and Kramer is cracking up)
JERRY
(to Kramer) Oh! Shut up!!!
ELAINE
She does a full hour about how you're the devil .I got to go see this thing.
JERRY
Good luck, It's sold out for the next three weeks.
ELAINE
Well I bet I can get in once I mention I'm from ...The New Yorker.
JERRY
The New Yorker?
ELAINE
Yes, The New Yorker, I've met with their cartoon editor and I got him to admit that that cartoon ...MADE NO SENSE....
JERRY
Wow! Good work, Nancy Drew
ELAINE
Then we ended up going out to lunch and he had some great gossip about James Thurber.
JERRY
Nodding off...
ELAINE
....And he said I could submit some of my own cartoons.
JERRY
Wow! that's incredible......But you don't draw.
ELAINE
I do to.
JERRY
What, your sad little horsies, the house with the little curl of smoke, the sunflower with the smiley face. the transparent cube... (as she leaves)
ELAINE
It's better than your drawings of naked Lois Lane.
JERRY
Where did you see that? Those are private!!!
SALLY
Jerry, sorry I'm late. Channel Nine is doing a piece on my show. Isn't that great? Do you hate me?
JERRY
No,no I tought the show was terrific. I was just wondering if you have to keep saying Jerry Seinfeld is the devil.
SALLY
Well...That is the title.
JERRY
I know but I thought that maybe you could mention how I apologized then encouraged you to stick with it.
SALLY
You know I workshopped that and.. SNOOZERS!!! he he he....but I'll tell you what I'll think... It's all a journey.
JERRY
You got a little shmootz there (picks something on her sweater)
NEWMAN
Excuse me Miss Weaver, OH! My god it is you! I.. I've seen your show six times..
JERRY
What a surprise.
SALLY
Ok so I go to meet Jerry Seinfeld at this horrible coffee shop right? And he's like "Hey stop doing your show." and I'm like, Hello! It's a free country. So then he goes." Okay Shmootsie" and he starts pulling at my sweater right?. He's getting, you know, Hands Across America.
JERRY
There really was shmootz on I didn't try to grab her
SALLY
...And this is what he looks like when he's eating...
JERRY
Get Out of my House!!.
ELAINE
Well boys, I did it. I had to stay up all night but I finally came up with a great New Yorker cartoon.
JERRY
I'd stayed up all night I'd fixed myself up a little before I'd go out.
ELAINE
That is not the point.
JERRY
some mouthwash, a hat, something.
ELAINE
Just read it!
JERRY
(glances at it) Pretty good.
ELAINE
Pretty good? Well uh! This is a gem . Kramer look it....(Kramer stays silent).....What? It's funny.
JERRY
It's a pig at a complain department.
ELAINE
And he's saying " I wish I was taller" ha ha. See? that's his complaint.
JERRY
I get it.
ELAINE
Do you!!!.. because that's not a normal complaint.
JERRY
How 'bout if it was something like " I can't find my receipt my place's a stye.
ELAINE
Everything with you has to be so .. jokey.
JERRY
I'm a comedian.
ELAINE
I wish I was taller, that's, that's, that's nice. that's real.
JERRY
Well I got a complaint. This cartoon stinks.
ELAINE
I'll tell you who doesn't think it stinks, The New Yorker. that's right. They're publishing it in their next issue. Oh! you know what I just ran into Newman in the hall and he said you tried to grope Sally Weaver.
JERRY
oh! that's it I'm gonna put an end to this.
ELAINE
The pig says "my wife is a slut."
JERRY
Now that's a complaint. ...Hello Sally, yeah this is Jerry,I just wanted to leave you a message that I caught your little piece on TV and..
SALLY
To cease and desist on behalf of my client, Jerry Seinfeld. Signed ; Crybaby Jerry Seinfeld's Lawyer. Ok but I got two words for you Jerry Seinfeld...(censored beep)...You
JERRY
How could she say that on TV?.. And how did she get a cable special . I 've never gotten a cable special.....well that's it I'm not giving her any more material. We are incommunicado. (to the silent Kramer on the couch beside him) ...Exactly.
GEORGE
George is in big trouble....
JERRY
You ripped off a Ziggy?
ELAINE
It must've seeped up my subconscious, Puddy has Ziggy bed sheets....D'you read the comics today?
JERRY
I see that Ziggy's back at the complaint department.. "The New Yorker is stealing my ideas." ha ha ha See that's funny.....'cause it's real.
ELAINE
Hey look it ;Sally's cable show's on (Kramer turns around to leave)
JERRY
Hey! Kramer come on in. You've got to watch this, now she's got nothing.
SALLY
(on TV) Master of Evil Jerry Seinfeld has broke off all contacts with me.
JERRY
That's right sister. Why don't you just give up?
SALLY
..OK get this; I heard he makes his best friend date women that look just like him.Hello issues..
JERRY
Elaine, have you been talking to her?
SALLY
Oh and speaking of issues . Guess who got a no-polish manicure and begged his neighbor not to tell anyone?
JERRY
(to Kramer) I thought you stopped talking??
KRAMER
...All right ..Starting now......
JERRY
You broke up with her just because she cut her hair! how short?
GEORGE
