1. So I'm on line at the supermarket.
Copy !req
2. Two women in front of me.
Copy !req
3. One of them, her total was $8.
The other, $3.
Copy !req
4. They both, of course, choose
to pay by the use of the check.
Copy !req
5. Fact is, if it is a woman in front of you
that's writing out the check...
Copy !req
6. you'll not be waiting long.
Copy !req
7. I have noticed that women
are very fast with checks.
Copy !req
8. You know, because they write
out so many checks.
Copy !req
9. The keys, they can never find.
They don't know where that is.
Copy !req
10. But the checkbook, they got that.
Copy !req
11. They never fumble
for the checkbook.
Copy !req
12. The checkbook
comes out of a holster.
Copy !req
13. "Who do I make it out to?
Copy !req
14. There's my ID."
Copy !req
15. There's something about a check,
that, to a man, is not masculine.
Copy !req
16. I don't know exactly what it is.
I think, to a man...
Copy !req
17. a check is like a note
from your mother.
Copy !req
18. "I don't have any money,
but if you'll contact these people...
Copy !req
19. I'm sure they'll stick up for me. If you
could just trust me this one time.
Copy !req
20. I don't have any money,
but I have these.
Copy !req
21. I wrote on these.
Copy !req
22. Is this of any value at all?"
Copy !req
23. What's that one?
Copy !req
24. Cocoon II, The Return.
Copy !req
25. I guess they didn't like it up there.
Copy !req
26. Maybe they came back
for Chinese food.
Copy !req
27. You know, Maureen Stapleton
gets a craving...
Copy !req
28. she's probably screaming
at those aliens:
Copy !req
29. "I gotta have a lo mein."
Copy !req
30. Okay, what are we doing here?
I have seen everything.
Copy !req
31. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
32. I don't believe you've seen this.
Copy !req
33. - Oh, lovely.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
34. What do you think their parents think?
Copy !req
35. "So, what's your son doing now,
Dr. Stevens?"
Copy !req
36. "Oh, he's a public fornicator."
Copy !req
37. "Yes, he's a fine boy."
Copy !req
38. You know, this would be a really
funny gift for Pamela's birthday.
Copy !req
39. Pamela. Do I know her?
Copy !req
40. Yeah, you met her when
we were going out.
Copy !req
41. Oh, yeah, right.
Copy !req
42. You have no idea who I'm
talking about, do you?
Copy !req
43. No.
Copy !req
44. Blond hair, remember? Glasses.
Copy !req
45. Have you totally blocked out
the entire time we were a couple?
Copy !req
46. - Riverside Drive.
- Right.
Copy !req
47. In fact... No. Never mind.
Copy !req
48. Well, what is it?
Copy !req
49. A bunch of people are getting
together tomorrow at some bar...
Copy !req
50. for her birthday, but...
Copy !req
51. You don't want to go to that.
No. Okay.
Copy !req
52. Wait a second. Wait a second.
Copy !req
53. We could work out a little deal here.
Copy !req
54. - What little deal?
- I will go to that...
Copy !req
55. you go with me to the little
family wedding I have on Saturday.
Copy !req
56. A wedding?
Copy !req
57. - Have you lost it, man?
- My parents are coming in for this.
Copy !req
58. - They're coming in?
- Yeah, tomorrow.
Copy !req
59. Hey, did your father
ever get that hair weave?
Copy !req
60. No, no.
Copy !req
61. Still doing the big sweep across.
Copy !req
62. Why does he do that?
Copy !req
63. Doesn't think anyone can tell.
Copy !req
64. So, come on, do we have a deal?
Copy !req
65. A wedding?
Copy !req
66. There's a lot of people to mock.
Copy !req
67. - All right. What the hell.
- Great.
Copy !req
68. When you're dead, you're dead.
That's it. You're not going anywhere.
Copy !req
69. - Come on, let's go.
- Was I supposed to bring something?
Copy !req
70. - You could have.
- I met her one time.
Copy !req
71. - It is not necessary.
- Then what did you say that for?
Copy !req
72. - Hi.
- Hi, Pamela.
Copy !req
73. - You remember Jerry?
- Yes, we met.
Copy !req
74. - Happy birthday.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
75. Everybody, this is Jerry and Elaine.
Copy !req
76. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
77. I didn't bring anything.
Copy !req
78. - I put you two right here.
- Oh, okay.
Copy !req
79. I'm sorry. I didn't know what...
You know.
Copy !req
80. Nobody's told me anything
about this...
Copy !req
81. How big a tip you think it
would take to get him to stop?
Copy !req
82. I'm in for 5.
Copy !req
83. I'll supply the hat.
Copy !req
84. What do we have here?
Copy !req
85. Why don't you relax,
and take your jacket off.
Copy !req
86. I can't. I have a tendency
to get chilly.
Copy !req
87. How masculine.
Copy !req
88. Plus I'm wearing short sleeves.
I don't want to expose my tattoos.
Copy !req
89. She's unbelievable.
Copy !req
90. - Hey, this guy says he know Bricker.
- Oh, you know Bricker? From where?
Copy !req
91. What's going on here?
Copy !req
92. Got to be her boyfriend.
She's too good to be alone.
Copy !req
93. What's the difference?
I can't manoeuvre anyway...
Copy !req
94. with Elaine next to me.
Copy !req
95. - How do you know Pamela?
- Friend of a friend.
Copy !req
96. - And you?
- We went to law school together.
Copy !req
97. Oh, Jerry.
Copy !req
98. Oh, no. Not now.
Copy !req
99. I had this dream last night,
and you were in it.
Copy !req
100. - Really?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
101. Oh, God, I gotta get out of this.
Copy !req
102. You were you, but you weren't you.
Copy !req
103. - No kidding?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
104. Why is this happening?
Please mak e her stop.
Copy !req
105. I think... I think we were in my
house where I grew up...
Copy !req
106. and you were standing there.
You were looking out the window.
Copy !req
107. This is brutal.
Copy !req
108. And then you turned around,
and you had these wooden teeth.
Copy !req
109. How do you like that?
Copy !req
110. Can I turn now? Is this over?
Copy !req
111. No, I can't. I can't. I'm stuck.
Copy !req
112. Jerry, are you listening to me?
Copy !req
113. Yes. I heard you.
Copy !req
114. Elaine, what's the name of that
jewellery store you took me to that time?
Copy !req
115. Thank you, Pamela.
Copy !req
116. So, you're a lawyer?
Copy !req
117. Sagman, Bennett, Robbins,
Oppenheim and Taff.
Copy !req
118. Sagman, Bennett,
Robbins, Oppenheim and Taff.
Copy !req
119. Of course, they handled
my tattoo-removal lawsuit.
Copy !req
120. - Oh, that was you.
- Imagine.
Copy !req
121. Spelling "mom" with two O's.
Copy !req
122. That's very funny.
Copy !req
123. - What do you do?
- Comedian.
Copy !req
124. Really? That explains it.
Copy !req
125. Sagman, Bennett,
Robbins, Oppenheim and Taff.
Copy !req
126. You ready?
Copy !req
127. We gotta run. Happy birthday.
Copy !req
128. - Bye, everyone.
- Thanks for coming.
Copy !req
129. - Bye.
- Bye.
Copy !req
130. I can't believe it. I got nothing.
Copy !req
131. I don't even know her name.
Copy !req
132. Sagman, Bennett, Robbins,
Oppenheim and Taff.
Copy !req
133. That wasn't so bad, really.
Copy !req
134. You know...
Copy !req
135. you could use a little work
on your manners.
Copy !req
136. Why? What did I do?
Copy !req
137. Well, I just don't appreciate
these little courtesy responses...
Copy !req
138. like I'm selling you aluminium siding.
- I was listening.
Copy !req
139. No. You couldn't wait to get back
to your little conversation.
Copy !req
140. No. You were talking
about the dream you had...
Copy !req
141. where you had wooden teeth.
- No!
Copy !req
142. No! You had wooden teeth!
Copy !req
143. You had wooden teeth.
I didn't have them, you did.
Copy !req
144. All right, so I had wooden teeth.
So what?
Copy !req
145. So... So nothing. Nothing.
Copy !req
146. Apparently Plato...
Copy !req
147. who came up with the concept
of the platonic relationship...
Copy !req
148. was pretty excited about it.
Copy !req
149. He named it after himself. He said,
"Yeah, I got this new thing.
Copy !req
150. Platonic.
Copy !req
151. My idea, my name.
Calling it after myself.
Copy !req
152. What I do is...
Copy !req
153. I go out with the girls...
Copy !req
154. I talk with them...
Copy !req
155. don't do anything...
Copy !req
156. and go right home.
Copy !req
157. What do you think?
Copy !req
158. I think it's going to be big."
Copy !req
159. I bet you other guys
in history tried...
Copy !req
160. getting relationships named
after them, but it didn't work.
Copy !req
161. I bet you there were guys
that tried to do it. Just went:
Copy !req
162. "Hi, my name's Rico.
Copy !req
163. Would you like to go
to bed immediately?
Copy !req
164. Hey, it's a 'riconic' relationship."
Copy !req
165. - Hey.
- There he is.
Copy !req
166. This is what I like. See?
Copy !req
167. You come home, your parents
are in your bed.
Copy !req
168. You know, Jerry,
we don't have to do this.
Copy !req
169. What are you talking about?
I love having you here.
Copy !req
170. - Tomorrow, we'll go to a hotel.
- Ma, will you stop?
Copy !req
171. No. Why should we take over
your apartment?
Copy !req
172. I don't care. I'm sleeping next door.
Copy !req
173. Your friend Kramer doesn't mind?
Copy !req
174. No. He's making a bouillabaisse.
Copy !req
175. So, Dad, let me ask you a question.
Copy !req
176. How many people work
at these big law offices?
Copy !req
177. - Depends on the firm.
- Yeah, but if you called...
Copy !req
178. and described someone,
you think they would know who it was?
Copy !req
179. What's the matter, you need a lawyer?
Copy !req
180. I met someone. I know where she
works, but I don't know her name.
Copy !req
181. Why don't you ask
someone who was at the party?
Copy !req
182. No. The only one I could ask
is Elaine. I can't ask her.
Copy !req
183. - Why not?
- Because it's complicated.
Copy !req
184. There's some tension there.
Copy !req
185. He used to go with her.
Copy !req
186. - Which one is she?
- From Maryland.
Copy !req
187. She brought the chocolate-covered
cherries you didn't like.
Copy !req
188. Oh, yeah. Very alert. Warm person.
Copy !req
189. Oh, yeah, she's great.
Copy !req
190. So how come nothing
materialized there?
Copy !req
191. Well, it's a tough thing
to talk about.
Copy !req
192. - I don't know.
- I know what it was.
Copy !req
193. You don't know what it was.
Copy !req
194. So what was it?
Copy !req
195. Well, we fight a lot for some reason.
Copy !req
196. - Oh, well.
- Oh, well.
Copy !req
197. And there was a little problem
with the physical chemistry.
Copy !req
198. Well, I think she's
a very attractive girl.
Copy !req
199. She is. She absolutely is.
Copy !req
200. I can see if there was
a weight problem...
Copy !req
201. No, it's not that.
Copy !req
202. It wasn't all one-sided.
Copy !req
203. You know you can't be so particular.
Nobody's perfect.
Copy !req
204. - I know, I know.
- You know, Jerry...
Copy !req
205. good thing I wasn't so particular.
Copy !req
206. Idiot.
Copy !req
207. - Who you looking for, Sophia Loren?
- That's got nothing to do with it.
Copy !req
208. How about Loni Anderson?
Copy !req
209. Where do you get Loni Anderson?
Copy !req
210. Why, what's wrong
with Loni Anderson?
Copy !req
211. I like Elaine more than
Loni Anderson.
Copy !req
212. What are you two talking about?
Copy !req
213. Look, Elaine just wasn't the one.
Copy !req
214. And this other one's the one?
Copy !req
215. - I don't know. Maybe.
- So ask Elaine there for the number.
Copy !req
216. I can't. She'll get upset.
Copy !req
217. I never talk about
other women with her...
Copy !req
218. especially this one tonight.
- How could you still see her...
Copy !req
219. if you're not interested?
- We're friends.
Copy !req
220. Doesn't sound like you're friends.
If you were friends...
Copy !req
221. you'd ask her for the number.
Copy !req
222. - Do you know where this one works?
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
223. So go up to the office.
Copy !req
224. Up to her office?
Copy !req
225. Go to the building.
Copy !req
226. She goes out to lunch, doesn't she?
Copy !req
227. - I guess.
- So you stand in the lobby...
Copy !req
228. by the elevator and wait for her
to come down for lunch.
Copy !req
229. You mean stake out the lobby?
Copy !req
230. Morty, that's ridiculous.
Just ask Elaine for the number.
Copy !req
231. He doesn't want to ask Elaine
for the number.
Copy !req
232. So you got him standing
by the elevator like a dope.
Copy !req
233. - What happens when he sees her?
- He pretends he bumped into her.
Copy !req
234. You know what?
This is not that bad an idea.
Copy !req
235. - What does she look like?
- I don't know. It's hard to say.
Copy !req
236. What actress does she
remind you of?
Copy !req
237. Loni Anderson.
Copy !req
238. Loni Anderson?
Copy !req
239. What, there's something wrong
with Loni Anderson?
Copy !req
240. Hey, listen, thanks again
for running over here.
Copy !req
241. Yeah, sure. I was showing
a condo on 48th Street.
Copy !req
242. Besides, you think
I want to miss this?
Copy !req
243. - I'm a little nervous.
- Yeah. Me too.
Copy !req
244. If I see her, what do I say
I'm doing in the building?
Copy !req
245. To see me. I work in the building.
Copy !req
246. What do you do?
Copy !req
247. I'm an architect.
Copy !req
248. You're an architect?
Copy !req
249. I'm not?
Copy !req
250. I don't see architecture
coming from you.
Copy !req
251. I suppose you could be an architect.
Copy !req
252. I never said that I was the architect.
Copy !req
253. - Just something else.
- She's not even going to ask.
Copy !req
254. If we see her, which is remote.
Copy !req
255. What do you want me to say,
I just wandered in?
Copy !req
256. We're having lunch with a friend.
He works here.
Copy !req
257. What is his name?
Copy !req
258. Burt Har...
Copy !req
259. binson. Burt Harbinson.
Copy !req
260. - Burt Harbinson.
- Right.
Copy !req
261. - It sounds made-up.
- No good?
Copy !req
262. All right.
Copy !req
263. Art...
Copy !req
264. Core.
Copy !req
265. Art Core.
Copy !req
266. Velay.
Copy !req
267. - Corevelay?
- Yeah, right.
Copy !req
268. Well, what does he do?
Copy !req
269. He's an importer.
Copy !req
270. Just imports? No exports?
Copy !req
271. He's an importer-exporter, okay?
Copy !req
272. Did Elaine ever call you back?
Copy !req
273. No. I guess she's still mad.
Copy !req
274. I don't understand. You never talk
to her about other women?
Copy !req
275. Never.
Copy !req
276. Wait a second. That's her.
Copy !req
277. On the right.
Copy !req
278. I forgot who I am. Who am I?
Copy !req
279. You're you. We're having lunch
with Art Corevelay.
Copy !req
280. - Vandalay.
- Corevelay.
Copy !req
281. Let me be the architect.
I can do it. I can do it.
Copy !req
282. Hey, hey...
Copy !req
283. Pamela's birthday party.
Copy !req
284. - Didn't I see you there? Jerry.
- Sure. Hi.
Copy !req
285. - This is George. I'm sorry.
- Vanessa.
Copy !req
286. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
287. Sagman, Bennett, Robbins,
Oppenheim and Taff.
Copy !req
288. That's right. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
289. Meeting a friend for lunch.
Works in the building.
Copy !req
290. Yeah, Art Vandalay.
Copy !req
291. Oh, really?
Copy !req
292. Which company?
Copy !req
293. - I don't know. He's an importer.
- I don't really know...
Copy !req
294. - Importer.
- And exporter.
Copy !req
295. He's an importer-exporter.
Copy !req
296. I'm...
Copy !req
297. I'm an architect.
Copy !req
298. Really? Well, what do you design?
Copy !req
299. Railroads.
Copy !req
300. I thought engineers do that.
Copy !req
301. They can.
Copy !req
302. I'm sorry you had to leave
so early the other night.
Copy !req
303. Me too. My cousin
had to go back to Boston.
Copy !req
304. - Oh, that guy was your cousin.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
305. - And that woman was your...
- Friend.
Copy !req
306. I'll just get a paper.
Copy !req
307. So...
Copy !req
308. do you date immature men?
Copy !req
309. Almost exclusively.
Copy !req
310. I have no letters.
Copy !req
311. Ma, will you go already?
Copy !req
312. - What are you doing?
- I just want to see something.
Copy !req
313. You can't look in there.
We're playing.
Copy !req
314. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
315. - Good evening, Mr. Kramer.
- Hey, Morty.
Copy !req
316. - Salad dressing?
- Look.
Copy !req
317. - "Quo." Is that a word?
- Maybe.
Copy !req
318. - Will you challenge it?
- Ma, you can't look up words...
Copy !req
319. in the dictionary.
Dad, she's cheating.
Copy !req
320. "Quo"? That's not a word.
Copy !req
321. - You're such a stickler.
- Well, put something down.
Copy !req
322. You're taking 20 minutes on this.
Copy !req
323. So Uncle Mac and Artie, they're all
coming here before the wedding?
Copy !req
324. They'll be here at 2:00.
Copy !req
325. Oh, Elaine called. She said she'd
be here at 2:30 and she says:
Copy !req
326. "Hope your meeting went well
with Art Vandalay."
Copy !req
327. - She said what?
- Just what I said. Here.
Copy !req
328. She knows.
Copy !req
329. Oh, I am such a jackass.
Copy !req
330. - She knows what?
- She knows the whole stupid thing.
Copy !req
331. Vanessa and the elevator.
Copy !req
332. No, no, that won't do.
He may have a Z.
Copy !req
333. So how did she find out?
Copy !req
334. Because Vanessa
probably told Pamela...
Copy !req
335. and Pamela probably told Elaine.
Copy !req
336. So, what are you, afraid of her?
Copy !req
337. Yes. Yes, I am.
Copy !req
338. - What else did she say on the phone?
- Whatever I wrote down.
Copy !req
339. Yeah, but what was the tone
in her voice? How did she sound?
Copy !req
340. Who am I, Rich Little?
Copy !req
341. Well, she can't be too mad.
Copy !req
342. - She's still coming to the wedding.
- Yeah, but now I'm nervous.
Copy !req
343. Oh, stop it.
Copy !req
344. - "Quone"?
- Thirty, 31, 32...
Copy !req
345. "Quone"?
Copy !req
346. No, I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to challenge that.
Copy !req
347. No, you don't have to
challenge that. That's a word.
Copy !req
348. - That's a definite word.
- I am challenging.
Copy !req
349. "Quone." To "quone" something.
Copy !req
350. I'm not playing with you anymore.
Copy !req
351. "Quone's" not a word.
Copy !req
352. No good. Sorry. There it is.
Copy !req
353. Get it off.
Copy !req
354. Why did you make me put that down?
Copy !req
355. No. We need a medical dictionary.
Copy !req
356. Like a patient gets difficult,
you quone him.
Copy !req
357. You want some funny material? You
ought to come down to where I work.
Copy !req
358. There's a sitcom.
Copy !req
359. You must have quite
a time down there.
Copy !req
360. - We got plenty of time.
- Sorry. I am just waiting for someone.
Copy !req
361. Watch what you say to this guy.
He'll put it in his next act.
Copy !req
362. - Yeah, yeah.
- Jerry, did I tell you...
Copy !req
363. that I'm writing a book,
an autobiography?
Copy !req
364. Yeah, you mentioned it.
Copy !req
365. It's based on all my experiences.
Copy !req
366. That's perfect.
Copy !req
367. - Could you excuse me one second?
- Sure.
Copy !req
368. - I'm sorry.
- Sure.
Copy !req
369. How do you do? Jerry Seinfeld.
Copy !req
370. Oh, how do you do? Elaine Benes.
Copy !req
371. You want to do this now,
or you wanna wait?
Copy !req
372. Oh, no, let's do it now.
Copy !req
373. The whole elevator business,
let me just explain.
Copy !req
374. - Okay.
- Jerry, are you going with us?
Copy !req
375. - No, I'm gonna take my car.
- That's why I brought the wagon.
Copy !req
376. Why the hell
did I bring the wagon?
Copy !req
377. Anyway, you know
why I didn't ask you?
Copy !req
378. I mean, I felt so uncomfortable,
and you were so annoyed in the cab.
Copy !req
379. Well, Jerry, I never saw you
flirt with anyone before.
Copy !req
380. It was quite the spectacle.
Copy !req
381. Jerry, we'll see you there.
Bye, Elaine.
Copy !req
382. Oh, bye. Good to see you.
Copy !req
383. Oh, we didn't meet.
Copy !req
384. Sorry. Elaine, this is my cousin,
Artie Levine.
Copy !req
385. - Levine.
- Artie.
Copy !req
386. Artie! Come on.
Copy !req
387. Yeah, Levine.
Copy !req
388. And I'm Jerry Cougar Mellencamp.
Copy !req
389. Anyway, I admit it was a fairly
ridiculous thing to do...
Copy !req
390. but I mean, obviously
we have a little problem here.
Copy !req
391. Yeah, obviously.
Copy !req
392. If we're gonna be friends, we gotta
be able to talk about other people.
Copy !req
393. - Couldn't agree more.
- Good.
Copy !req
394. - Good.
- Good.
Copy !req
395. Great.
Copy !req
396. Great? Where do you get great?
Copy !req
397. It's great to talk about...
Copy !req
398. other people.
- Guys.
Copy !req
399. - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
400. Well, anybody specific?
Copy !req
401. No.
Copy !req
402. - A general guy.
- Oh, really?
Copy !req
403. - Elaine Marie Benes.
- What?
Copy !req
404. No, it's not a big deal.
Copy !req
405. No, that's great. That's terrific.
Copy !req
406. - No, we just met.
- Doesn't matter.
Copy !req
407. What's the young man's name?
I would like to meet him.
Copy !req
408. I don't think so.
Copy !req
409. Well, what does he do?
Is he an artisan...
Copy !req
410. a craftsman,
a labourer of some sort?
Copy !req
411. - Wall Street.
- High finance.
Copy !req
412. Bulls, bears,
people from Connecticut.
Copy !req
413. And he happens to be
pretty good-looking.
Copy !req
414. All right, sir.
Copy !req
415. And he's hilarious.
Copy !req
416. - Now that's not fair.
- You know.
Copy !req
417. So where did you meet this guy?
Copy !req
418. I staked out his health club.
Copy !req
419. When you're on a stakeout...
Copy !req
420. do you find it's better
to stand up against the wall...
Copy !req
421. or kind of crouch down
behind a big plant?
Copy !req
422. You know, I think that...
Copy !req
423. even if you've had
a relationship with someone...
Copy !req
424. or, let's say, especially if you've had
a relationship with someone...
Copy !req
425. and you try and become
friends afterwards...
Copy !req
426. it's very difficult. Isn't this?
Copy !req
427. It's hard because you
know each other so well.
Copy !req
428. You know? You know all
each other's tricks.
Copy !req
429. It's like two magicians trying
to entertain each other.
Copy !req
430. You know, one goes, "Look, a rabbit."
The other goes, "So?"
Copy !req
431. "I believe that's your card."
Copy !req
432. "Look, why don't we just saw each
other in half and call it a night, okay?"
Copy !req
