George

What kind of hair?

You know: long, dark hair.

George

Flowing?

Flowing?

George

Is it flowing? I like flowing, cascading hair. Thick, lustrous hair is very important to me.

"Thick, lustrous hair is very important to me." Is that what you said?

George

Yeah, that's right.

Just clarifying.

George

Let me ask you this. If you stick your hand in the hair is it easy to get it out?

Do you want to be able to get it out or do you want to not be able to get it out?

George

I'd like to be able to get it out.

I think you'll get it out.

George

What about the skin? I need a good cheek, I like a good cheek.

She's got a fine cheek.

George

Is there a pinkish hue?

A pinkish hue?

George

Yeah, a rosy glow.

There's a hue. She's got great eyebrows; women kill to have her eyebrows.

George

Who cares about eyebrows?

[Answers Jerry's phone] Yello? What-delay Industries?

George

[in the bathroom] VANDELAY! SAY VANDELAY!

[Elaine tries to interrupt Kramer, but he keeps ignoring her] No, you're way, way off! Well, yeah, that's the right number, but this is an APARTMENT!

[George bursts out of the bathroom, his pants down around his ankles]

George

VANDELAY! SAY- [Falls down next to Kramer] SAY VANDELAY INDUSTRIES!

Yeah, no problem. No problem. [Hangs up and looks at George, who is lying despondently on the floor] How did you know who they wanted?

[Jerry walks in the front door and sees George laying on the floor, his pants down]

And you want to be my latex salesman...

George

Magellan? You like Magellan?

Oh yeah, my favorite explorer. Around the world? Come on. Why, who do you like?

George

De Soto.

De Soto, why De Soto?

George

He discovered the Mississippi.

Oh, like they wouldn't have found that anyway!

EEva

What was that you said about the myth of the Holocaust?

George

Oh, I said so many things. I- [a loud blast is heard] They're shooting! They're shooting!

George

I said 'God bless you'. Was that so wrong?

The question is, did you allow a space for the husband to come in with his 'God bless you'? Because as the husband, he has the right to first refusal.

[The intercom buzzes, Jerry walks over and presses the button]

It's me.

Come on up.

George

Yes, yes, I definitely waited. But let me say this: Once he passes on that option, that 'God bless you' is up for grabs.

No argument. Unless, she's one of these multiple sneezers, and he's holding his 'God bless you' in abeyance, until she completes the series.

George

Well I don't think she is a multiple sneezer, because she sneezed again later, and it was also a single.

What if she's having an off night?

George

I don't get art.

There's nothing to get.

George

No, it always has to be explained to me, and then I have to have someone explain the explanation.

George

All bald people look good in hats.

You should have lived in the twenties and thirties. You know, men wore hats all the time then.

George

What a bald paradise that must have been. Nobody knew.

Do you ever yearn?

George

Yearn? Do I yearn?

I yearn.

George

You yearn?

Oh, yes. Yes, I yearn. Often I sit... and yearn. Have you yearned?

George

Well, not recently. I've craved. Constant craving. But I haven't yearned.

[trying to make a phone call] I don't have any change. You've got any change?

George

No, I don't have any change. I never carry change.

Well, we need change and all I have is twenties.

George

I have a ten.

So, break it.

George

I hate asking for change. They always make a face. Like I'm asking them to donate a kidney.

So, buy something.

George

What?

I don't know, some mints or TicTacs.

George

Breath problem?

No, I just want some change.

So Kramer, what are you going to do?

Do? Do? Hey, I'm doing what I do. You know, I've always done what I do. I'm doing what I do, way I've always done and the way I'll always do it.

George

Kramer, what the hell are you talking about?

What do you want me to say? That the things haven't worked out the way that I planned? That I'm struggling, barely able to keep my head above water? That L.A. is a cold place even in the middle of the summer? That it's a lonely place even when your stuck in traffic at the Hollywood Freeway? That I'm no better than a screenwriter driving a cab, a starlet turning tricks, a producer in a house he can't afford? Is that what you want me to say?

George

I'd like to hear that.

Yeah...

Well, I'm not saying that! You know, things are going pretty well for me here. I met a girl...

Kramer, she was murdered!

Yeah, well I wasn't looking for a long term relationship. I was on TV.

George

As a suspect in a serial killing.

OK, yeah, you guys got to put a negative spin on everything.

George

Hey, what are you doing tonight?

Dating Marla.

George

Oh, the virgin?

Yeah.

George

Any, uh...progress, there? What's the latest?

Well, I got my troops amassed along the border - I'm just waiting for someone to give me the go-ahead.

What're you looking at?

There's a naked woman across the street.

[chuckling] This is gonna be the easiest money I've ever made in my life. So, my friend, Joyce, is teaching an aerobics class. I'm gonna go tonight.

Yeah...the - the waitress should've taken it back.

So then, I got a call this morning. You know, I was, uh, chosen to go on the space shuttle. We're goin' to Mars.

Uh-huh.

George

Have a good time.
