Mr. Steinbrenner, sir. There's someone here I'd like you to meet. This is Mr. Costanza. He's one of the applicants.
GGeorge
Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must say, with all due respect I find it hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization. In the past 20 years, you have caused myself and the city of New York a good deal of distress, as we have watched you take our beloved Yankees and reduce them to a laughingstock, all for the glorification of your massive ego.
Listen...tonight, after we finish eating, you make like you got something else to do and just "recede into the night," if you know what I mean.
Look, if you think I'm just going to step aside and do nothing while you defile this woman, you're crazy.
I'm not going to "defile" her!
That's right, because I'm going to see it doesn't happen. Look, Jerry, these girls are Miss America contestants. It's every little girl's dream. And I'm not going to let you trample that dream and make a mockery of everything the pageant stands for.
[holds up his hand] AAAH! No buts! Those are my rules.
So did you enjoy your lunch?
Yeah, A big salad. Very good. Actually it was too big. Ha ha ha. What?
Oh, because she handed you the bag. I could have handed you the bag. She happened to pick it up at the restaurant even though...
No, it's just you thanked HER, and and oh, what's the difference?
What? What are you trying to say, George?
It's just that I was the one who actually paid for the big salad. She just happened to hand it to you. But it's no big deal.
You want the money for the big salad, George?
There is no problem... just a small miscommunication. Whereby you thanked her instead of the person actually responsible for purchasing the big salad.
Well, it looks like you've adjusted to the boxers.
Well, I wouldn't go as far as that.
You went back to the Jockeys?
Don't you see what's goin' on here? No boxers, no Jockeys…
[Elaine backs away from Kramer, disgusted]
The only thing between him and us is a thin layer of gabardine…Kramer, say it isn't so.
Oh, it be so. I'm out there, Jerry, and I'm lovin' every minute of it.
[examining a spot on the couch] Is it? C-could it? Could-- Could he have? It is! Poppie peed on my sofa!
Well, what is it then?! My new sofa! Poppie peed on my new sofa!
I don't care if it comes out. I can't sit on that anymore.
Ah, you're making too much of it.
Yeah, you're right. Just a natural human function, happens to be on my sofa... instead of in the toilet where it would normally be.
You're in the kitchen. You see an éclair in the receptacle. So you think to yourself, "What the hell, I'll just eat some trash."
No, no, no, no, no. It was not trash.
It wasn't down in; it was sort of on top.
But it was in the cylinder.
Adjacent to refuse, is refuse.
It was on a magazine, and it still had the doily on.
KKenny
You worn the suit yet?
HHildy
[the waitress comes up] Have you decided?
KKenny
Oh, get the swordfish. Best swordfish in the city. The best, Jerry.
KKenny
Ahh, you know what I think. I'm just going to have soup. Yeah, I'll save the meal for another time.
Another time? What other time?
KKenny
I had a hot dog earlier. I'm not that hungry.
No, no, Bania, no. This is the dinner. The soup counts.
KKenny
Soup's not a meal. You're supposed to buy me a meal.
I'm not stopping you from eating. Go ahead and eat. Get anything you want.
KKenny
I don't want anything but soup.
KKenny
But I had the hot dog.
I didn't tell you to have a hot dog. Who told you to have a hot dog?
KKenny
Hey, I give you a brand-new Armani suit, and you won't even buy me a meal?
All right, fine. Get the soup!
So, you just pretended it didn't bother you?
What is that, 'boyfriend'? I don't understand that. What, what does she think I asked her out for?
Boy, it's the way they just slip that in there, too.
Yeah, like it's just part of the conversation. 'Oh, my boyfriend really likes watches. He's a real watch freak.' Well, that's fabulous.
Well, let me ask you this. What exactly did you say when you asked her out?
I said, 'Would you like to go for a walk or something?'
Or something. I said, 'Or something'!
Or something. Yeah, that's a date.
You know, there is always the possibility that she called an audible.
Well, she got up to the line of scrimmage, didn't like the looks of the defense and changed the play.
I think things were going okay. We were having a nice conversation.
I mentioned how I liked horse manure.
Yeah. You said you liked horse manure.
Yeah. You know, about how when you break it down, it's really a very positive thing. You know, you have a 'newer,' with a 'ma' in front of it. MA-NURE. It's not bad.
And it was around this point that she mentioned the boyfriend?
Yeah. Oh, you think because of what I said about the manure. I was just saying how it takes a negative thing, and puts a positive spin on it.
I'm just saying there's a chance she may not have been enamored with your thoughts and feelings on manure.
So you don't think she really has a boyfriend?
My honest opinion, I think she made it up.
