How late are the stores open? I'm thinking of maybe uh,
Jerry

buying a new TV and smash it over my head. (two men are

MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
Most men like working on things, tools, objects, fixing things. This is what men enjoy doing. Have you ever noticed a guy's out in his driveway working on
Jerry

MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
something with tools, how all the other men in the neighborhood are magnetically drawn to this activity. They just come wandering out of the house like zombies.
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
Men, it's true, men hear a drill, it's like a dog whistle. Just.. you know, they go running up to that living room curtain, "Honey, I think Jim's working on something over
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
there." So they run over to the guy. Now they don't actually help the guy. No, they just want to hang around the area where work is being done. That's what men
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
want to do. We want to watch the guy, we want to talk to him, we want to ask him dumb questions. You know, "What are you using, the Philips head?" You know,
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
we feel involved. That's why when they have construction sites, they have to have those wood panel fences around it, that's just to keep the men out. They cut those
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
little holes for us so we can see what the hell is going on. But if they don't cut those holes - we are climbing those fences. Right over there. "What are you using the
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING

steel girders down there? Yeah, that'll hold."

I had to say something. I had to say something. Everything was going so well; I had to say something.
George

MALE UNBONDING
(Jerry and George are waiting for the elevator)
I don't think you did anything wrong.
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(Jerry and George are waiting for the elevator)
I told her I liked her. Why? Why did I tell her I like her? I have this sick compulsion to tell women how I feel. I like you I don't tell you.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(Jerry and George are waiting for the elevator)
We can only thank God for that.
Jerry

I'm outta the picture. I am outta the picture. (laughs) It's only a matter of time now.
George

You're imagining this. Really.
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(Elevator opens, they get on)
Oh no. No, no, no, no.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(elevator doors close)
I'll tell you when it happened. When that floss came flying out of my pocket.
George
null
MALE UNBONDING
(elevator doors close)
What floss? When?
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(elevator doors close)
We were in the lobby during the intermission of the play. I was buying her one of those containers of orange drink, for five dollars. I reached into my
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(elevator doors close)
pocket to pay for it, I looked down; there's this piece of green floss hanging from my fingers.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(elevator doors close)
Ah, mint.
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(elevator doors close)
Of course. So, I'm looking at it, I look up, I see she's looking at it. Our eyes lock. It was a horrible moment. I just..
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(eleveator doors open, they get off)
So let me get this straight: she saw the floss, you panicked and you told her you liked her.
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(eleveator doors open, they get off)
If I didn't put that floss in my pocket, I'd be crawling around her bedroom right now looking for my glasses.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(eleveator doors open, they get off)
And you're sure the floss was the catalyst?
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(eleveator doors open, they get off)
Yes, I am.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(eleveator doors open, they get off)
(looks at a carrying pouch George is wearing) You don't think it might've had anything to do with that?
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(eleveator doors open, they get off)
What? You don't like this?
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(eleveator doors open, they get off)
It looks like your belt is digesting a small animal.

Kramer
Jerry

Well, why not?
Kramer
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(they go into Jerry's apartment to find Kramer talking on the phone)
He bothers me. I don't even answer the phone anymore because of him. He's turned me into a screener. Now I gotta go see him on Wednesday.
Jerry
Kramer
MALE UNBONDING
(they go into Jerry's apartment to find Kramer talking on the phone)
What do you mean Wednesday? I though we had tickets to the Knick game Wednesday. We got seats behind the bench! What happened? We're not

Oh. Who is this guy?
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(they go into Jerry's apartment to find Kramer talking on the phone)
His name is Joel Horneck. He lived like three houses down from me when I grew up. He had a Ping Pong table. We were friends. Should I suffer the rest of
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(they go into Jerry's apartment to find Kramer talking on the phone)
my life because I like to play Ping Pong? I was ten. I would've been friends with Stalin if he had a Ping Pong table.. he's so self-involved.

Kramer
Jerry

I don't know why you even bother with this ping pong guy, I'll tell you that.
George
Kramer
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
I don't bother with him. He's been calling me for seven years. I've never called him once! He's got the attention span of a five-year-old. Sometimes I sit
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
there and I make up things just to see if he's paying attention.
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
I don't understand why you spend time with this guy.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
What can I do? Break up with him? Tell him "I Don't think we're right for each other.." He's a guy. At least with a woman, there's a precendent. You know,
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
the relationship goes sour, you end it.
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
No, no, no,no you have to approach this as if he was a woman.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
Just break up with him?
Jerry
George
MALE UNBONDING
(phone rings, Kramer pulls his phone out of his pocket)
Absolutely. You just tell him the truth.
George
Jerry
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
As a guy I don't know how I can break up with another guy. You know what I mean? I don't know how to say, "Bill, I feel I need to see other men." Do
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
you know what I mean? There's nothing I can do. I have to wait for someone to die. I think that's the only way out of this relationship. It could be a long time. See,

the great thing about guys is that we can become friends based on almost nothing. Just two guys will just become friends just because they're two guys. That's almost
Jerry
null
MALE UNBONDING
(Nightclub)
all we need to have in common. 'Cause sports - sports and women - is really all we talk about. If there was no sports and no women the only thing guys would ever
Jerry

say is "So, what's in the refrigerator?"
