KRAMER
All right, what is your deductible?
JERRY
I don't know.
KRAMER
Yes, because they've already deducted it.
JERRY
From what?
KRAMER
The car, which we're leaving. So the net is zero. See you pocket the money, if there is any, and you get a new car.
JERRY
We're not leaving the car!
KRAMER
All right. If you refuse to grow up and scam your insurance company, you'll have to work this out with maroon Golf.
JERRY
Absolutely not. He sped up.
RADIO
Swung on, line hard toward left center field. That's in the gap, that's a base hit.
JERRY
I'm ready to talk.
KRAMER
Ok, here's the deal. He wants you to acknowledge that you cut him off with an "I am sorry" wave.
JERRY
What's that?
KRAMER
You raise the hand, lower the head-- "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The buttons are really big on the car. I don't understand it. I haven't read the manual. Ooh!" You get my drift.
JERRY
Ok!
GEORGE
All right. At last, we're finally gettin' out of here.
JERRY
What's that on your forehead?
GEORGE
It's probably chocolate.
JERRY
Hey, is that one of those laser pointers?
GEORGE
All right, stop it! Stay away from my breasts! Chest!
JERRY
See ya around maroon Golf. And, by the way, that was an "I'm not sorry" wave.
LAMAR
What was that?
JERRY
I'm glad I cut you off, because black Saab rules! So long, jackass!
LAMAR
Jackass? So I'm a jackass now?
JERRY
So if everyone would just put their cars in reverse at the same time, we can do this. All right, on the count of three. Can everyone hear me? Hey, amigo, are you paying attention?
PUERTO RICAN MAN
Buenos dias, my friend.
JERRY
Not you! The guy in the Amigo.
ELAINE
Boy, eh, can you believe this mess?
JERRY
Elaine, why did you have the cab come down the street?! We were almost out!
ELAINE
I'm not his girlfriend. Well, actually, we used to date, but not anymore.
JERRY
Elaine, he doesn't need-
LAMAR
Used to date? So I guess you found out he's a jackass.
JERRY
'Cause that's what's gonna happen.
GEORGE
This thing can't hurt me, can it? I mean, it is a laser. What if it hits my eye?
JERRY
I don't know.
KRAMER
You'll be fine as long as it doesn't hit you right in the pupil, 'Cause then the whole ball will go up like the Death Star. Tchoo! I gotta go find a bathroom.
JERRY
Hold it, George. Don't move. It's right between your eyes.
GEORGE
Oh, my god.
JERRY
Hey, there's the soda guy.
JERRY (sarcastically)
Ho ho!
JERRY
What seems to be the problem, officer?
GEORGE
They're for protection, Jerry. Can you tell where I'm lookin'?
JERRY
At me?
GEORGE
No.
JERRY
Oh. It's back.
GEORGE
Bring it on, baby
JERRY
What if it gets in the side?
GEORGE
The side?
JERRY
Yeah. Wouldn't it just bounce back and forth between your cornea and the mirror, faster and faster, getting more and more intense, until finally-
GEORGE
All right!
JERRY
Oh. It's in your eye now.
KRAMER
Hola, Jerry! I'm into this Puerto Rican day! The sights! The sounds! The hot, spicy flavor of it all! It's caliente, Jerry!
JERRY
Kramer, the Mets have got men on base!
KRAMER
Yeah, I know! I was watchin' the game.
JERRY
You were watchin'? Where?
SALES WOMAN
Would you like to see the rest of the apartment, Mister, um--
JERRY
Eh...Varnsen. Kel Varnsen. Actually, this room intrigues me. Why is it called the TV room?
SALES WOMAN
Well, it's--
JERRY
Balk?! How was that a balk?! You have any snacks?
SALES WOMAN
Mr. Varnsen, if you like the apartment, I should tell you I've also had some interest from a wealthy industrialist.
JERRY
Not Pennypacker!
SALES WOMAN
You know him?
JERRY
I wish I didn't. Brace yourself, madam, for an all-out bidding war. But this time, advantage Varnsen!
SALES WOMAN
It's down the hall.
JERRY
Oh, hello...
GEORGE
Art.
JERRY
Mr. Vandelay, of course.
KRAMER
Uh, Varnsen.
JERRY
Pennypacker.
GEORGE
Pennypacker. Varnsen.
JERRY
Vandelay. Wait a second. Mr. Pennypacker, if you're here, and Mr. Vandelay is also here, then who's watching the factory?
KRAMER
The factory?
JERRY
The Saab factory?
KRAMER
Jerry, that's in Sweden.
JERRY
My car!
GEORGE
Jerry, the Mets lost.
JERRY
I love a parade!
KRAMER
Well...there's no logical explanation. All right. Well, shall we go home?
JERRY
Well, what about my car?
KRAMER
Well, Jerry, you can't deduct it now.
JERRY
Hey, there's Elaine.
ELAINE
Hey.
JERRY
Well, you look, uh...relaxed.
LAMAR
Hey, black Saab. Looks like that building cut you off! Ha ha ha! See ya around!
JERRY
Well, at least he didn't-
LAMAR
Jackass!
JERRY
Somebody remember where we parked.
GEORGE
I can't eat this without catsup. Would it kill her to check up on us? Would that be a terrible thing? "How's everything? Do you need anything? What can I do for you?"
JERRY
I know what you mean.
GEORGE
Do ya?
JERRY
It's like going out with someone and you never hear from them again.
GEORGE
Same thing!
JERRY
Not really, but it's something. Ask the people behind you.
WOMAN
You know what? I don't think so. I'm going to need it from time to time.
JERRY
So what are you doing later? You want to go to the movies?
GEORGE
Nah - what for?
JERRY
To see a movie.
GEORGE
I've been to the movies.
JERRY
Not this movie.
GEORGE
They're all the same. You go, you sit, you eat popcorn, you watch. I'm sick of it.
JERRY
Did you shower today?
GEORGE
Yeah.
JERRY
That's usually the kind of mood I'm in when I haven't showered.
GEORGE
When is it going to be my turn, Jerry? When do I get my 15 minutes? I want my 15 minutes!
JERRY
Oh, quit complaining. At least you have your health.
GEORGE
Yeah.
JERRY
What is that?
KRAMER
Hey! JoJo!
JERRY
Ey, ey!
KRAMER
No, thank you. So what are you doing?
JERRY
Nothing.
KRAMER
What? It's a beautiful day.
JERRY
Have a good time.
KRAMER
Yeah, there's something in the air today. You feel it? There's something in the air.
JERRY
You know you're turning into Burt Lancaster?
ELAINE
Oh, I forgot to call Jill. Jill. Hi, it's Elaine. How is your father? Is everything okay? What? I can't hear you so good. There's a lot of static. Wha? I'm going to call you back.
JERRY
Jill's father is in the hospital and you call to ask about him on a cell phone?
ELAINE
What? No good?
JERRY
Faux pas.
ELAINE
Why?
JERRY
You can't make a health inquiry on a cell phone. It's like saying "I don't want to take up any of my important time in my home so I'll just get it out of the way on the street."
GEORGE
On-the-street cell-phone call is the lowest phone call you can make.
JERRY
It's an act of total disregard. It's selfish.
GEORGE
It's dismissive.
JERRY
It's pompous.
GEORGE
Boy - I'm really surprised at Elaine - that whole phone business - she should know better than that.
JERRY
Hey - hey - hey!
GEORGE
What?
JERRY
Where do you think this relationship is? If you are thinking of instituting an open-door urination policy, let me disabuse you of that notion right now, my friend.
GEORGE
You're so uptight.
JERRY
Uptight? Let's all just have a big pee party. Hey everybody, grab a bucket. We're going up to Jerry's. It's a pee party.
PHONE TAPE
Jerry, this is Elizabeth Clark calling from James Kimbrough's office at NBC. Could you please give us a call?Thanks.
JERRY
Hello. Yeah, hi, this is Jerry Seinfeld calling for James Kimbrough. Hello? Hi? Uh huh, really, uh, no problem, definitely, ok, buhbye. That was James Kimbrough.
GEORGE
Who's he?
JERRY
He is the new president of NBC. He wants to sit down with us and talk about "Jerry."
GEORGE
Our show, "Jerry"?
JERRY
Right.
GEORGE
"Jerry", oh my God. He wants to talk about "Jerry"?
JERRY
Yeah!
GEORGE
When?
JERRY
Today, like right now.
GEORGE
Right now? "Jerry"?
JERRY
"Jerry"!
GEORGE
He wants to talk about "Jerry"?
JERRY
He wants to talk about "Jerry"!
GEORGE
"Jerry"!
JERRY
"Jerry"!
GEORGE
Can I go like this?
JERRY
Sure!
GEORGE
No sports jacket? I don't need a sports jacket? Writers wear sports jackets.
JERRY
Forget the sports jacket.
GEORGE
I won't feel like a writer.
JERRY
You're not a writer.
GEORGE
Water. Need some water! Water here!
JERRY
Ok, now listen, I don't want any scenes in here like the last time.
GEORGE
Don't worry, don't worry, no scenes.
JERRY
Don't blow this.
GEORGE
I will not blow this.
JERRY
If he says he doesn't want it to be a show about nothing, don't go nuts.
GEORGE
It's fine, it doesn't have to be about nothing.
JERRY
He might not want nothing.
GEORGE
Something, nothing, I could care less.
JERRY
He might want a show about anything and everything.
GEORGE
Anything, everything, something, nothing - Who the hell cares? Put me down. I'm down!
JERRY
All right.
GEORGE
Magic time.
JERRY
What?
STU
How you been?
JERRY
Good, good. You remember George.
GEORGE
Kimbrough.
JERRY
Don't spell.
GEORGE
Woo! Some day out there - You ever see weather like that? Woo! It's crisp - it's crispy crisp.
JERRY
Shut up, George.
GEORGE
What do we have in the fruit department?
JERRY
Oy.
CRESPI
We call it a water-cooler show.
JERRY
Because the next day in the offices, people gather around the water coolers to talk about it, right?
GEORGE
See, I think people would talk about it at the coffee machines.
JERRY
Well it's probably just easier to say "water cooler show" than "coffee machine show."
GEORGE
It's really not accurate. Nobody drinks from a water cooler any more - they use bottles.
JERRY
But I think Mr. Kimbrough makes a good point.
KIMBROUGH
What I want to do is put it on the air. 13-episode commitment. Start it off on Wednesday night, build up an audience. This show needs time to grow. I love that Kramer guy.
JERRY
He's a little off the wall.
KIMBROUGH
And Elaine - I wouldn't mind seeing something happening between you two.
JERRY
Definitely.
GEORGE
Yeah!
JERRY
Yeah!
ELAINE
Jill, hi, it's Elaine. Well, I'm calling from my home. Indoors. Well, I was just calling to see how your fa.. I'm sorry, I'm getting another call. Hang on just a second. Hello?
JERRY
Hi. Elaine, it's me.
ELAINE
Jerry, I'm on the other line.
JERRY
No no - this is an emergency - get off the phone.
ELAINE
I'm sorry, Jill. I'm going to have to take this call. Jerry, what's the emergency?
JERRY
The "Jerry"'s back on - the TV show! George and I are moving to California!
ELAINE
That's the emergency?
JERRY
Did you hear what I said?
ELAINE
I was on the other line talking to Jill.
JERRY
Jill? Well, why didn't you say so?
ELAINE
You said it was an emergency.
JERRY
So now she's lost a phone face-off? That's even worse than your cell phone walk-and-talk.
MORTY
Jerry, you ever watch that?
JERRY
Yeah, it's pretty good.
