George

You're saying I stand to inherit $300,000, is that what you're saying?

Of course, you may not see it for 20 years.

George

20 years... that long?

Does your father still eat bacon and eggs every day?

George

Unfortunately, yes.

How's your family history?

George

I have an aunt that died at age seven.

Really?

George

Aunt Baby.

George

Listen to the comeback: "Oh yeah? Well the jerk store called. They're running outta you."

[Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer stare blankly at him]

George

Wha...You gotta be kidding me?!

How 'bout this one? How 'bout, "Your cranium called. It's got some space to rent."?

George

What does that mean?

Hey, here you go: "Hey, Reilly. The zoo called. You're due back by six."

George

No. No, no, no. You're not helping me.

Look, just tell him you had sex with his wife. That'll kill him.

Who was the last president to have a beard?

George

Nixon.

No, I mean a real thick beard.

George

His was thick.

No, I mean like a full long beard like Smith Brothers Cough Drops.

George

Falkmore.

Who?

George

Artemis N. Falkmore.

You made that up, right?

George

Yeah. But it sounds like a president name, doesn't it?

Yeah. Why do presidents all have these bad names? Woodrow, Grover, Millard

George

The presidency attracts the badly named. Their ambition is based on personal insecurity. It's a classic male overcompensation.

[Jerry has just returned from Florida, and is putting away his bag. A worried George sits at the table.]

[disbelief] So she wanted you to come up, but you left because you thought some guy might be calling you?!

[Jerry puts his bag in the bedroom and returns as George paces the floor.]

George

[animated] Some guy. Some guy? Neil! I have got to find out how he could get a girl like Danielle.

George, you've got Danielle. Forget about Neil. You've out-Neiled him.

George

[surprised] So, I'm Neil? How did I do that?

I don't know, but you better keep it up.

George

I'm gonna go meet Danielle. [grabs his coat] There's a new Neil in town! [triumphant laughter] Hahaha!

[George exits, cheerfully. The phone rings as the door closes.]

[to himself] I try to take a vacation, I come back, the whole operation's a shambles. [answers phone] Hello.

[In Florida, Helen and Morty each have a handset. Morty is still wearing the '#1 DAD' shirt.]

Hey Jerry. Number One here. Did you go see Izzy at the back specialist?

I will, I just walked in the door.

You have to go see him.

Ma.

Helen, will you stop bothering him.

Jerry, that shirt has gone right to his head.

Number One, signing off.

[The Seinfelds hang up. Jerry's door opens and Kramer bursts in, agitated.]

Jerry, I just picked up the Cubans at the bus station. [shrill] What's going on!?

What?

[animated] They're not real Cubans. They're Dominicans.

So?

So, Jerry, if my investors don't get Cubans, the whole deal's off.

What's the difference?

Jerry, once you've had real Cubans, there's just nothing else like it.

[confused] We're talking about people, right?

Yes, yes. The quality, the texture, the intoxicating aroma. These guys don't have it.

I thought they smelled pretty nice.

Jerry, your palate's unrefined.

Is not.

Is too.

Is not.

Is too.

I'm not having this conversation.

Are too.

Am not.

Are too.

Am not.

Are too.

I've yada yada'd sex.

George

Really?

Yeah. I met this lawyer, we went out to dinner, I had the lobster bisque, we went back to my place, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again.

But you yada yada'd over the best part.

No, I mentioned the bisque.

Good meeting?

George

There was no meeting. But it was quite a meeting. You are looking at the next director of Mets scouting. The only thing is, I have to get fired from the Yankees first.

You can do that.

George

Of course. But I really wanna leave my mark this time. You know, uh, I wanna walk away from the Yankees with people saying "Wow! Now that guy got canned!"

So you're pretending to be a tourist?

George

It's beautiful. She makes all the plans. I'm not from around here, so it's okay if I'm stupid. And she knows I'm only in town visiting, so there's no messy breakups.

George

What is Holland?

What do you mean, "What is it?" It's a country right next to Belgium.

George

No, that's the Netherlands.

Holland is the Netherlands.

George

Then who are the Dutch?

[Jerry, George and Darren are sitting at a table in Monk's. Jerry and George are having a conversation as Darren writes down notes]

George

[To Jerry] Well, Play Now's through playing. They turned the heat way up in my office. Trying to sweat me out.

[To Darren] Do you have to write all this stuff down?

DDarren

Well, Mr. Kramer's in a meeting with Mr. Lomez but he didn't want to miss anything.

[Jerry makes a slightly annoyed face]

[To George] So how hot did it get?

George

I don't know, hundred and twenty, hundred and thirty. Then they sent some guys in to sandblast for six hours, tomorrow they're putting in asbestos.

I guess you can take anything but actual work.

George

Bring it on.

[Kramer enters and sits next to George]

GJGeorge and Jerry

[using "the voice" that Jerry has created as a joke] Helllooo Kramer! Wellcomme! La, la, la.

Sorry, I couldn't get out of there. [To Darren] What did I miss?

DDarren

Well, after ordering Mr. Seinfeld and Mr. Costanza debated on whether or not Iron Man wore some sort of undergarment between his skin and his iron suit.

George

And I still say he's naked under there!

[sarcastically] Oh that makes a lot of sense!

George

Aw, shut up!

DDarren

Then Mr. Seinfeld went to the restroom at which point Mr. Costanza scooped ice out of Mr. Seinfeld's drink with his bare hand and used it to wash up. Mr. Costanza then remarked to me, "this never happened".

[Jerry spits out his drink back into the glass]

Serenity now! Serenity now!

George

What is that?

Doctor gave me a relaxation cassette. When my blood pressure gets too high, the man on the tape tells me to say "Serenity now!"

George

Are you supposed to yell it?

The man on the tape wasn't specific.

So, you wanna grab a bite?

George

I can't. I gotta make the weekly call to the folks.

So call now.

George

I gotta prep. I need a couple of anecdotes; a few "you were rights". It's a whole procedure.

George

Saving lives? She's one step above working at the Clinique counter.

Dermatologists. Skin doesn't need a doctor.

George

Of course not. Wash it, dry it, move on.
