Scenes with Cosmo Kramer 74

Unfortunately the immutable laws of physics contradict the whole premise of your account. Allow me to reconstruct this, if I may, for Miss Benes, as I've heard this story a number of times. Newman, Kramer, if you'll indulge me. According to your story, Keith passes you and starts walking up the ramp. Then you say you were struck on the right temple. The spit then proceeds to ricochet off the temple, striking Newman between the third and fourth rib. The spit then came off the rib, turned and hit Newman in the right wrist, causing him to drop his baseball cap. The spit then splashed off the wrist, pauses in mid-air, mind you, makes a left turn, and lands on Newman's left thigh. Now that is one magic loogie!

...

I'm saying that the spit could not have come from behind, that there had to have been a second spitter, behind the bushes on the gravelly road. If the spitter was behind you as you claim, that would've caused your head to pitch forward.

So the spit could've only come from the front and to the right.

But that's not what they would have you believe.

[walks out] I'm leavin.' Jerry's a nut!

Kramer

[following Newman] Wait, wait, wait.

The sad thing is that we may never know the real truth.

Kramer

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

[in the bathroom] VANDELAY! SAY VANDELAY!

Kramer

[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]

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

Kramer

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...

Like you didn't call me a phony?

MMike

What? [to Kramer] Thanks! REAL GOOD! [back to Jerry] Jerry! First of all, I think you completely misunderstood what I said. I meant it in a complimentary way. I mean, you know when people say, "He's bad," it really means he's good, sort of thing? You know, slang.

Use it in a sentence.

MMike

Man, that Michael Jordan is so phony. [to Kramer] WHY'D YOU TELL HIM!?

Kramer

He begged me!

MMike

HE BEGGED YOU!?

Kramer

Do you ever yearn?

Yearn? Do I yearn?

Kramer

I yearn.

You yearn?

Kramer

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

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

So Kramer, what are you going to do?

Kramer

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.

Kramer, what the hell are you talking about?

Kramer

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?

I'd like to hear that.

Yeah...

Kramer

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

Kramer, she was murdered!

Kramer

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

As a suspect in a serial killing.

Kramer

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

Just tell him that you're my boyfriend and that we're in love, okay? Can you do that?

Kramer

Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm your boyfriend... Have we been intimate?

Yeah, yeah, we've been intimate.

Kramer

How often do we do it?

Kramer, how is that important? Honestly, do you really think he's gonna ask you that?

Kramer

Elaine, he's a psychiatrist. They're interested in stuff like that.

Alright, alright. We do it, uh...five times a week, okay?

Kramer

Oooh, baby.

Kramer

I got news for you: handicapped people, they don't even want to park there! They wanna be treated just like anybody else! That's why, those spaces are always empty.

He's right! It's the same thing with the feminists. You know, they want everything to be equal, everything! But when the check comes, where are they?

What's that supposed to mean?

Kramer

This pirate trend that she's come up with, Jerry, this is gonna be the new look for the '90s. You're gonna be the first pirate!

But I don't wanna be a pirate!

Kramer

[Seeing George eating pretzels] May I have one of those, madam?

Madam? What are you calling me madam for?

Kramer

They're ladies' glasses,

[Kramer takes George's glasses and shows him the inside]

Kramer

Now look here, see it's right here: Gloria Vanderbilt Collection.

He sold me ladies' glasses!

Kramer

I'm tellin' ya! The pigman is alive. The government's been experimenting with pigmen since the fifties.

Will you stop it. Just because a hospital gets a grant to study DNA doesn't mean they are creating a race of mutant pigmen.

Kramer

Oh, Jerry. Would you wake up to reality! It's a military thing. They're probably creating a whole army of pig warriors.

I wish there were pigmen. You get a few of these pigmen walking around I'm looking a whole lot better. Then if somebody wants to fix me up at least they could say, Hey he's no pig-man!

Believe me, there'd be plenty of women going for the pigmen. No matter what the deformity you'll find some group of perverts attracted to it. Ooo that little tail turns me on.

Kramer

Jerry, do me a favor. Next time you see that lineswoman, ask her how ball boys get that job. I'd love to do that.

I think perhaps you've overlooked one of the key aspects of this activity- It's ball boys, not ball men. There are no ball men.

GGino

So I love the Edward Scissorhands. That's the best movie I've ever seen.

EEnzo

Ah, again with the Edward Scissorhands. How can you have hand like scissors, huh? Show me one person who's got hand like scissors!

GGino

Hey, it's a beautiful dream. I'd love to be this man.

EEnzo

Did you ever think about what you're going to do on the toilet? What are you going to do on the toilet?

Kramer

I'd like to have shoehorn hands.

Kramer

Jerry, that voice is tattooed on my brain. It's her! I'm telling you it's her.

Oh, you're crazy.

Kramer

Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?

It's impossible.

Kramer

Is it? Or is it so possible that your head is spinning like a top?

It can't be.

Kramer

Can't it? Or is your entire world crashing down all around you?

Alright, alright. That’s enough.

Kramer

Yeaaahhh.
