George, you're not really handicapped, are ya?

I've had my difficulties.

I saw you running down Amsterdam Avenue,

lifting that 200-pound motorized cart with one hand.

Mr. Thomassoulo, during times of great stress,

people are capable of superhuman strength.

Have you ever seen The Incredible Hulk, sir?

No. How 'bout the old, uh,

Spider-Man live-action show?

George, I realize that we've signed

George, I realize that we've signed

a one-year contract with you, but at this point,

I think it's best if we both go our separate ways.

Uh, I-I don't understand.

We don't like you. We want you to leave.

Clearer.

[♪]

JERRY: So you're staying at Play Now?

Why not?

The pay is good. I got dental.

And private access to one

of the great handicapped toilets in the city.

But they know you're not handicapped.

Aren't you ashamed?

They should be ashamed.

They should be ashamed.

They signed me to a one-year contract.

As long as I show up for work every day,

they have to pay me. [DOOR CLOSES]

Hey. [COMICALLY] Hellooo.

[COMICALLY] Hellooo, Elaine.

What's that?

Oh, it's just a stupid thing.

Well, I'm sure it's stupid.

It's not about me, is it?

Nooo...

Not at allll...

Tell me.

JERRY: All right.

Know this girl Claire I'm seeing?

Yeah. Well, he and I started joking

that when she falls asleep,

her stomach stays awake all night and talks to me.

her stomach stays awake all night and talks to me.

How's it talking?

The bellybutton's like a mouth.

[COMICALLY] I'm booored...

Talk to meeee...

Oh, I gotta start taking

these "stupid warnings" more seriously.

Hey, look who's here: Puddy.

My Puddy? But we broke up.

And yet he continues to live.

Hey, Benes. How are you?

I'm doing great.

Great.

See ya.

Well, that's it.

[CHUCKLES] You two are back together.

[CHUCKLES] You two are back together.

What? The "bump into."

The "bump into" always leads to the backslide.

David and I will not be getting back together.

Elaine,

breaking up is like knocking over a Coke machine,

you can't do it in one push.

You gotta rock it back and forth a few times,

and then it goes over.

That's beautiful.

ELAINE: What about you?

You were even engaged,

and you cut it off just like that.

That's different.

I had no feelings for those people.

But you, you'll backslide.

You wanna bet? Stakes?

You wanna bet? Stakes?

Fifty. Dollars?

All right. Witness. Witness.

Done. Percentage?

BOTH: No.

[♪]

CLAIRE: I'll call you tonight? JERRY: Yeah.

What's wrong with the belt?

At the movies last night, I went to the bathroom

and I unbuckled a little wildly

and the buckle kinda banged against the side of the urinal,

so...that's it.

So you're insane?

Oh, yes, quite.

Hello.

Of course, it's a sliding scale.

See you later.

Hellooo... Hellooo...

Look at this. They're redoing the Cloud Club.

The restaurant on top of the Chrysler Building? Good idea.

Of course it's a good idea. It's my idea.

I conceived this whole project two years ago.

Which part, the renovating-the- restaurant-you-don't-own part,

or spending-the-200-million- you-don't-have part?

See, I come up with these things.

I know they're gold,

but nothing happens. You know why?

No resources, no skill, no talent,

no ability, no brains, no--

No.

No time.

It's all these menial tasks:

You have any idea how much time I waste in this apartment?

I could ballpark it.

Hellooo...

Here we go. Now she comes in.

My whole day is shot.

Hey, I called you last night. Where were you?

I went out with, uh--

[CLEARS THROAT] With a friend.

George?

Nope. No. No.

Well, I was here. That's everyone.

Well, I was here. That's everyone.

[LAUGHING]

Are those the same shoes as yesterday's?

Uh, um, you know, I wear these shoes all the-- The time.

Your hair,

it's somewhat de-poofed.

No. It's-- It's the new look. You know, heroin chic.

Wait a second.

What's going on here? What? Nothing. Nothing!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

You're wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

You saw Puddy.

Oh, hoochie moochie.

Game over. Pay up.

No!

It was an isolated sexual incident.

We are not back together.

Then what do you call it?

People don't just bump into each other and have sex.

This isn't Cinemax.

It was no big deal, okay?

I mean, we fooled around, then we went out,

we grabbed a little dinner.

[BLOWS RASPBERRY] Uh, dinner? That's it.

What? You're all the way back.

[GROANS] Sex-- That's meaningless.

[GROANS] Sex-- That's meaningless.

I can understand that. But dinner,

that's heavy. That's like an hour.

KRAMER: Oh, man.

2.9 percent financing on a Toyota 1-ton.

That was my idea too!

Good morning. Go to hell.

Hi, Alice. That's a nice dress.

Don't even look at me.

Hey, Glenn. Ah, go to hell.

Heard that one already.

So that's the bedroom. Here's the bathroom.

So that's the bedroom. Here's the bathroom.

You need to familiarize yourself with the kitchen.

Yeah. Go ahead and look through some of the drawers.

And you are?

Oh, hey. I'm Darin.

I'm...new here.

Yeah. That's Jerry. You don't have to worry about him.

Go across the hall and get started on that mail.

Right. Okay. Good.

He's a go-getter.

Who's he?

My intern from NYU.

Well, you remember my corporation,

Kramerica Industries?

All right. Yeah, well,

apparently NYU is very enthusiastic

about their students getting

some real-world corporate experience.

But you only provide

fantasy-world corporate experience.

Well, this'll really free up my time

so I can focus on more important things,

like my bladder system.

All right, it's time to go.

No. Jerry, it's not for people. It's for oil tankers.

I know.

See, the idea is a rubber bladder inside the tanker,

so if it crashes, the oil won't spill out.

so if it crashes, the oil won't spill out.

Actually, that is not a bad idea. Yeah.

Now it's time to go.

Oh.

[PHONE BEEPS] Hello?

GEORGE: Hellooo... Hellooo...

JERRY: What's going on?

Siege mentality, Jerry.

[CHUCKLING] They really want me out of here.

They've downgraded me to some sort of a bunker.

I'm like Hitler's last days here.

So you gonna leave?

Oh, no! I'm invigorated.

Ha, ha. They'll never get me out.

I'm like a weed, Jerry.

I thought you're like Hitler in the bunker.

I'm a weed in Hitler's bunker.

I'm getting uncomfortable with the Hitler stuff.

I got another call. See ya.

[PHONE BEEPS] Hello?

Hi. This is Darin from Kramer's office.

Mr. Kramer would like to schedule lunch

at Monk's coffee shop.

Really? When?

Ten minutes. Do you need directions?

No, I don't.

I'll call back in five minutes to confirm.

Yeah, five.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Hey.

So where's my money?

No money. I'm Puddy-free.

Oh, yeah. Hold on.

ELAINE [VOICE-OVER]: I am not calling Puddy.

ELAINE [VOICE-OVER]: I am not calling Puddy.

Hm. What did I do with my gloves?

Oh, I bet I left 'em over at Puddy's.

I should call him.

I need those gloves.

No, I better not.

I'll call.

Oh, ha,

look at that.

There are the gloves. I was just about to call.

Ha, and there they are. That's funny.

GEORGE: Well, Play Now's through playing.

They turned the heat way up in my office.

Tried to sweat me out.

Do you have to write all this stuff down?

Well, Mr. Kramer's in a meeting with Mr. Lomez,

but he didn't want to miss anything.

So how hot did it get?

I don't know, a hundred and twenty,

130.

Then they sent some guys in to sandblast for six hours.

Tomorrow, they're putting in asbestos.

I guess you could take anything but actual work.

Bring it on!

Bring it on!

[COMICALLY] Hellooo, Kramer.

[COMICALLY] Welcome.

♪ La la la ♪

Heh. I'm sorry. I couldn't get out of there.

What did I miss, huh?

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. KRAMER: Uh-huh.

And I still say he's naked under there.

Oh, that makes a lot of sense.

Aw, shut up.

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.

And then Mr. Costanza

And then Mr. Costanza

then remarked to me,

"This never happened."

What's so funny?

Oh, nothing.

[CHUCKLES]

What are you laughing about? Tell me.

All right, but this is--

This is really dumb, really stupid.

[LAUGHING] We've been doing this silly kind of voice.

So is it fun humiliating me?

So is it fun humiliating me?

No, it's not you.

It's your stomach.

He's talking with this funny,

booming, jovial voice--

Hellooo.

So you think I'm fat?

No. It--

Mr. Kramer says, "Hey, buddy."

We're in the middle of something.

Would you mind coming back later?

Oh, yeah, sure. Should we set something up?

Get out! I'm leaving too.

Nobody said you're fat. He's a lovable character.

He's like-- Like-- Like the Kool-Aid guy.

He is fat!

No. He's just a little bloated.

No. He's just a little bloated.

CLAIRE: Goodbye!

It's mostly water weight!

KRAMER: Boysenberry.

Kid's still learning.

DARIN: Mr. Kramer,

the dean of my internship's on Line 2.

She wants to set a meeting.

Yeah, well, nothing before noon.

Line 2?

Yeah. Your phone is Line 1.

Oh.

[♪]

So the gloves were right by the phone?

That is pretty funny.

You see? I mean, this is what Jerry doesn't understand.

We can see each other. We can see each other every day,

but it doesn't mean we're back together.

but it doesn't mean we're back together.

No. I mean, I love just seeing you and having sex.

Yeah. Ha, ha.

Not having to do all that, uh...

You know, work.

Well, either way...

All that calling you and buying you stuff.

David. Hearing about how everyone

at work isn't as smart as you.

It's brutal.

All right, that's it.

We're back together.

Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

Look, Elaine, be reasonable.

Get those clothes off. You're spending the night,

and we're gonna cuddle.

What?! You heard me. Strip!

KRAMER: Uh, Dean Jones, you wanted to talk to me?

I've been reviewing Darin's internship journal.

I've been reviewing Darin's internship journal.

Doing laundry? Ah.

Mending chicken wire?

High tea with a Mr. Newman.

I know it all sounds pretty glamorous,

but it's business as usual at Kramerica.

Far as I can tell, your entire enterprise is little more

than a solitary man with a messy apartment,

which may or may not contain a chicken.

And with Darin's help, we'll get that chicken.

I'm sorry, but we can't allow Darin

I'm sorry, but we can't allow Darin

to continue working with you.

Well, I have to say,

this seems capricious and arbitrary.

Your fly's open.

So you sure you're not still angry about last night?

No. I'm fine.

Just as long as you don't ever do that voice again.

Never? Never.

What about if you're not around? No.

So I have to choose between seeing you and doing the voice?

That's right. I can do that.

What's your decision? I don't know.

No, no, no, no. It's for oil tankers.

All I need to do is fill some sort of rubber container

with oil and then drop it to see

whether or not it can withstand the impact.

I understand.

Would a, uh, giant rubber ball work?
