FADE IN:

INT. JERRY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are all dressed up and
ready for a New York Rangers game. They all have various
types of Rangers gear on except George who, for some reason,
is wearing an Islanders jersey.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Ok, got the tickets, got my
jersey. We are set to go.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Jerry, are you sure that people
won't care that I'm wearing an
Islanders jersey?
                                                            
                       JERRY
No. Why would anyone care? They're
both New York teams.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
You don't understand. Once I wore
a Yankees hat to Shea Stadium. I
got hit with one of those cheese
cups for pretzels.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Elaine,this is the first hockey
game you've been to since that
Devils game right?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Yep. I don't know why I'm going. I
don't see the appeal of hockey.
All these names you can't
pronounce.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Ok, come on. We going or what. We
gotta get there early to see if
they use that version of the
Canadian national anthem with
those weird words in it.
                                                            
                       JERRY
You mean French?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
No, the weird words that they use
in Montreal.
                                                            

2.

Jerry gives an "I can't believe this" look.
                                                            
                       JERRY
They speak French in Montreal. Its
the second largest French speaking
city in the world.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Whats the largest?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Alright, geography Jim, take a
guess. I'll give you a hint even.
Its in France.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Paris?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Very good.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Not comfortable. I'm not
comfortable. Jerry, please tell me
you have a spare shirt. I can't
wear this jersey. I'm gonna get
hit with something that'll leave a
stain. Maybe one of those frozen
coffee things.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
You ever had a frozen coffee?
                                                            
                       GEORGE
No, but based on what I've seen,
they seem refreshing. I mean,
they've had mottos like "collapse
into cool". Whatever happened to
that ad campaign?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
I'll tell you later.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Alright. Lockout is over, the
Rangers are taking the ice once
more, lets get moving. We gotta
catch the next subway to the
Garden.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
We're taking the subway? Why can't
we take a cab?
                                                            

3.

                       JERRY
Because, traffic is brutal when
there's a game. Plus, there's a
train station at the arena. Its
easier.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Hey Jerry, you ever go to that
Irish bar near the Garden. I think
it was called Tir Na Nog or
something.
                                                            
                       JERRY
No.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Once, there were all these people
in there wearing red and yelling
about some bird not dying or
something. It was a fire hazard
waiting to happen.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Alright, maybe we'll stop there
after the game. See if there are
any dead birds around. Ok, now
lets get moving.
                                                            
The four then leave the apartment.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-CONCOURSE - NIGHT
                                                            
                       JERRY
Alright. Check these tickets out.
Second row off the ice.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Jerry, I knew I shouldn't have
worn this jersey. People are
giving me dirty looks. Its not
like I punched a guy in a
wheelchair, its just an Islanders
jersey.
                                                            

4.

                       KRAMER
Maybe its because your giving off
this oder of nervousness. See,
people can sense when someone is
nervous and they immediatly seek
to make him more uncomfortable.
So, buck up and look confident
buddy. Thats what I did at Fenway
that one time I was in Boston.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Why, did you have Yankees gear on?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
No.
                                                            
Jerry motions the group towards their section.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Who are the Rangers even playing
tonight?
                                                            
                       JERRY
The Philadelphia Flyers. An old
Atlantic division rival. See,
George, I'd be nervous if you had
a Flyers jersey on.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Why should I be nervous? There's
Flyers fans everywhere! Its like a
Halloween party in here.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Halloween?
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Because of their colors. Black and
orange? Like Halloween...you don't
get it. Why do I bother.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Come on, the anthem is almost
over.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Hey, did they do the Canadian one
yet?
                                                            
                       JERRY
I don't know. Lets go.
                                                            
 

5.

INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SEATS - NIGHT
                                                            
The four are seen sitting in their seats. They are watching
the game intently.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Now, if he passes from there,
thats a two line pass. You can't
do that.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
You can't pass across those two
lines but you can smash someone
into the glass? Thats a stupid
rule.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Man, I really want a pretzel.
                                                            
                       JERRY
So go get one.
                                                            
In the row in front of them, a man wearing a Jeremy Roenick
jersey sits in front of them. He starts acting obnoxious by
banging the glass and yelling.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Lets go Flyers! Hit him, Primeau,
you bum! Come on that was high
sticking! Open your eyes you
idiot!
                                                            
                       JERRY
Look at this guy. This is just
great, he's one of those annoying
Philadelphia fans.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Ok, I'm going to the snack bar.
You guys want anything?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Yeah, get me a bottle of water.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Bottle of water. What a scam that
is. Hey, lets all pay for water. I
can get clean water from my sink,
you gotta get a bottle of it for
three dollars.
                                                            

6.

                       ELAINE
George, I'm just asking you to get
me a bottle of water. Here, heres
some money for it. I want change!
                                                            
                       GEORGE
What do you want change for?
You're not getting it. Why can't I
keep the change? It'll just be
coins anyway.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Fine, keep the damn change. I
gotta go to the bathroom anyway.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Hey, buddy. I'm gonna take a walk
around. I might get one of those
big foam fingers.
      (He gets up to
       leave)
Oh, and George. Get me one of
those really big hotdogs. You
know, like a foot long or
something. And I want it
completely slathered in mustard.
Thanks buddy.
                                                            
Kramer, Elaine, and George all head to their respective
destinations.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
      (To Jerry)
You know, the Rangers suck.
They're gonna lose this by at
least three goals.
                                                            
                       JERRY
What? What the hell are you
talking about?
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
You heard me. The Rangers suck.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SNACK BAR - NIGHT
                                                            
George is waiting in line at the snack bar. He scans the
list of items deciding what he wants. There is one more
person in front of him, who steps up to the counter.
                                                            
                       ATTENDANT
What can I get you, sir?
                                                            

7.

                       SNACK BAR GUY
      (Staring at the
       board)
Hmmmmmmm. Lets see. I think I'll
have...hmmmmm. What comes on one
of those chicken sandwiches?
                                                            
George is seen getting impatient behind him.
                                                            
                       ATTENDANT
It comes with lettuce, tomato, and
onion with French fries.
                                                            
                       SNACK BAR GUY
I don't know. I don't really like
onions.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Hey come on, lets move it here.
You can order it without onions,
pal. Now can we hurry it up?
                                                            
                       SNACK BAR GUY
      (To George)
Excuse me, but I'm trying to
decide.
      (Back to the
       attendant)
Now, if I order a soda, will it
come in one of those big plastic
collectible cups. I like those
collectible cups.
                                                            
                       ATTENDANT
It can. But it'll cost an extra
thirty cents.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
      (To himself)
Oh, boy. This guy is gonna be here
forever.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-CONCOURSE - NIGHT
                                                            
Elaine is standing outside the womens bathroom. There is a
huge line. She clearly can't wait long.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
      (Thinking)
Oh, this is great. Why did every
woman in this building decide to
go to the bathroom at the same
            (MORE)

8.

                       ELAINE (cont'd)
time. Dammit, I really have to go.
Why is there no line for the mens
room. Its not halftime, thats why.
Maybe I should just go there
instead. No, I'll get caught.
                                                            
Elaine stands and looks more uncomfortable. She appears to
reconsider her earlier thought.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
      (Thinking)
Oh, this is unbelieveable. Oh,
what the hell. I'll just use the
mens room.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-LUXURY BOX LEVEL - NIGHT
                                                            
Kramer has somehow made his way into the area with the
luxury boxes. He clearly is on the scent of something.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Ohh, cigars.
                                                            
He opens one of the doors and goes in.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-MENS ROOM - NIGHT
                                                            
Elaine is seen leaving one of the stalls. As she is leaving,
a man enters and sees her. He gets this look of disgust on
his face.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SEATS - NIGHT
                                                            
Jerry and the Flyers fan are still arguing.
                                                            
                       JERRY
What have the Flyers done in the
last ten years? I ask you, please
indulge me.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
They've been in the playoffs
consistently. Unlike the Rangers,
who've sat and watched the
playoffs consistently.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Yes, but the Rangers have actually
won a Stanley Cup in the last
fifteen years.
                                                            

9.

                       FLYERS FAN
Yeah, what eleven years ago? All
those guys are all retired now
aren't they?
                                                            
                       JERRY
As retired as the guys who were in
Philadelphia the last time the
Flyers won. What was that, around
1974? I wouldn't talk about
championships in your city if I
were you.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Say that to me next year when the
Eagles win the Superbowl, pal.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Yeah, I'm sure that'll happen.
                                                            
Jerry gives that wide eyed look he does when he says
something insincere.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
At least the Flyers play in a
nicer arena than this.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Now, you've truly gone mental.
That dump has had three different
names since it opened. And when
was the last time the pope was
there.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Yeah, well. Do any musicians have
their names in the rafters because
of how many times they've played
there?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Why, who has their name in the
rafters there?
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Bruce Springsteen.
                                                            
                       JERRY
The boss? That's not bad.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
And New York's own...Mr. Billy
Joel.
                                                            

10.

                       JERRY
The piano man too? Alright, so
you've got that one on the Garden
but I believe that Springsteen
played a ten night set of concerts
here. And it was the perfect nest
for Godzilla.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Godzilla? That movie sucked. Just
like the Rangers.
                                                            
Elaine returns to her seat.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Hey, Jerry. Where's George? I want
my bottle of water.
                                                            
                       JERRY
I don't know, he hasn't come back.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-LUXURY BOX - NIGHT
                                                            
Kramer is trying to mingle among the business people there.
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
Alright, we ready to do this?
                                                            
                       EXEC 2
Yep. Lets do this.
                                                            
Kramer barges in between them.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Hey, whats going on? Yo guys
having a bachelor party?
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
Who the hell are you?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Cosmo Kramer.
                                                            
                       EXEC 2
Well, Cosmo. Can you please get
out of here? We're in the middle
of a business meeting here.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
What kind of business?
                                                            

11.

                       EXEC 1
We're working on the merger of
USAir and America West airlines.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
USAir? You know, I gotta tell you,
I love that USAir club at the
airport. One time, I met Cady
Huffman there. She played Ulla in
"The Producers" you know. She gave
me tickets to the show. Then her
husband came over and told me to
stop bothering her. But, have you
seen "The Producers"? Its a
delight.
                                                            
                       EXEC 2
Really?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
You better believe it.
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
Thats nice. Can we get back to
business. If we don't do this by
nine, the deal is off.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Wait, wait, wait, wait. One time,
I got kicked off a plane for
trying to get back 240 dollars
from this guy I hadn't seen in
like twenty years.
                                                            
The two execs are now clearly listening to Kramer's tales.
The camera shows the time is 8:47 P.M.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SNACK BAR - NIGHT
                                                            
The man is still trying to decide what to order. George
looks incredibly flustered.
                                                            
                       SNACK BAR GUY
Ok, so lets say I want to get a
chicken sandwich. Now, do I have
to have the onions and lettuce. Or
can I just drop one.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Look, they can make it any way you
want. If you don't want onions,
don't get onions. Now, for the
            (MORE)

12.

                       GEORGE (cont'd)
love of God, please order
something.
      (A siren sounds
       and the crowd
       cheers)
Oh, man. I missed a goal. I swear,
if that was Jagr, I'll take the
onions and shove them down your
throat.
                                                            
                       SNACK BAR GUY
What do you care? You have an
Islanders jersey on. Now,
regarding my order.
                                                            
George is ready to lose it.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SEATS - NIGHT
                                                            
Jerry and the Flyers fan are still talking. Elaine has moved
on to flirting with a guy next to her.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Hi.
                                                            
                       SCOTT
Hi.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Well, how about these Rangers?
                                                            
                       SCOTT
Yeah, they're something.You a fan?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Well, a casual fan. I had a bad
experience with a Devils fan. He
painted his face.
                                                            
                       SCOTT
Ha. Thats good. Damn Devils
fans.I'm Scott.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
I'm Elaine.
                                                            
Back to Jerry and his coversation.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Look, there's a reason why they
call it Filthy-delphia. These are
the people who booed Santa Claus.
                                                            

13.

                       FLYERS FAN
If thats the case, why is New York
always getting trashed in disaster
movies?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Because disasters are attracted to
cities people will recognize.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Well, bully for New York. You
realize, twice in 1998, the
Chrysler Building was destroyed?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Yeah, and both of those movies
sucked.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Are you saying Armageddon sucked?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Yes I am.
      (Sarcastically)
Oh, thank God for Bruce Willis and
Ben Affleck. Lets have oil
drillers save earth from an
impossibly large space rock.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Thats what makes it good. Common
men save the earth.
                                                            
Back to Elaine and Scott.
                                                            
                       SCOTT
So, Elaine. Are you busy after the
game? Wanna go get some coffee and
a piece of crumb cake?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Sure. That sounds like fun.
                                                            
At this point, the man who saw Elaine in the mens room comes
down the stairs. He apparantly knows Scott.
                                                            
                       MAN
      (To Scott)
Aw man, what are you doing?
                                                            
                       SCOTT
      (To the man)
What?
                                                            

14.

The man whispers something to Scott. Elaine struggles to
hear. Scott suddenly gets this disgusted look on his face.
                                                            
                       SCOTT
Oh.
      (To Elaine)
Listen, you're really nice and all
but I gotta go. Sorry, call me
later.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
But you never gave me your number.
                                                            
Scott ignores this and walks off.
                                                            
END OF ACT ONE
                                                            
ACT TWO
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-LUXURY BOX - NIGHT
                                                            
Kramer is telling stories to the executives. He is puffing
on a cigar.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
So, he's yelling at me because
this runner is late for this race.
But I wasn't the one who blew the
fuses in the building.
                                                            
Kramer takes a drag of is cigar.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Another time, I was out in the
Hamptons. I found this rope
leading into the sea. Turns out,
it was a commercial lobster trap
and you can't take those. I spent
the next few days picking trash
off the side of the highway.
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
Oh, Mr. Kramer. You are a riot.
                                                            
                       EXEC 2
Oh man. I can't believe you
actually shaved with butter
before.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
You better believe I did.
                                                            

15.

Kramer raises his hand up and bangs it into a tray behind
him. He does a typical Kramer take.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
So, another time me and this guy
George were in a liquor store...
                                                            
Kramer continues with his story. The clock is shown: the
time is shown to be 9:23.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SNACK BAR - NIGHT
                                                            
The guy is still deciding. George clearly can't take it any
more.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
      (Trying to be nice)
Alright pal, look. Why don't you
just close your eyes and point to
the board. Or better yet, write
down whats on the menu, go decide
over there and come back. Can you
do something.
                                                            
                       SNACK BAR GUY
No, I can't.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
      (Yelling)
Damn you snack bar guy! I just
want to get a pretzel, a hotdog,
and a bottle of water and you are
holding up the line because you
can't decide what you want to get!
Well, you figure out what you want
and get the hell out of here. I
want to watch hockey but instead I
have to stare at your bald spot!
If I want to stare at a bald spot,
I'll look in the mirror! Now order
something!
                                                            
                       SNACK BAR GUY
Alright, I'll have a hotdog,
French fries, and a soda in one of
those big plastic cups.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Thank you. Thank God. He finally
decided. Praise the lord, he
finally decided.
                                                            

16.

The man leaves the snack bar. George finally gets his turn.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Finally, I can get my pretzel with
the cheese cup. And a bottle of
water.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SEATS - NIGHT
                                                            
Jerry and the Flyers fan are still arguing. Elaine is
sitting, bored, watching the game.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Damn Rangers. Can't score a goal.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Hahahaha. Thats what I said. The
Rangers suck. You only got six
more minutes to try and win, pal.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Why do people insist on calling
complete strangers pal? Just
because you have a run in with
someone doesn't mean your their
pal. I don't like you, you don't
like me. Why do we have to have
these formalities with the pal and
the buddy and all that.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
Sorry pal, next time come to
Philly and we'll see who has the
better team. I'm outta here. I
gotta hop the next Acela back to
Philly. And always remember that
the Rangers suck! Hahahahahaha.
                                                            
The Flyers fan leaves, as are other people because the game
is almost over.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Man, what was his problem?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
What did that guy say to Scott to
make him leave? I really wanted to
get a piece of crumb cake.
                                                            
                       JERRY
What do you think he could have
said to him?
                                                            

17.

                       ELAINE
I don't know. I basically been
here the entire time. And I've
never seen that guy before. All I
did was I.....Ohhhhhhhhh.
                                                            
                       JERRY
What?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Nothing.
                                                            
                       JERRY
WHAT?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Well, when I went to the bathroom,
the line was really long. So I
kinda.......went...into
the.....mens..room.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Oh boy!
                                                            
                       ELAINE
He must have seen me in the mens
room! Oh no, he told Scott I was a
man! Oh Jerry, now there's a guy
out there who thinks I'm a man.
                                                            
                       JERRY
You went into the mens room?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Yep.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Now, how come if I were to enter
the forbidden temple of the womens
room, I would get yelled at as if
I were trying to steal some
national secret. I know what women
have down there. Its nothing new
to me. I've seen many women
without any sort of covering. But
I go in there and I get screamed
at. Meanwhile, you go into the
mens room, no one says a thing.
Why is that, I ask you, why?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Because it wasn't halftime, thats
why.
                                                            

18.

                       JERRY
Oh. Thats a good point.
      (Looking around)
Where the hell are George and
Kramer? How long does it take to
get something at the snack bar?
                                                            
                       ELAINE
I know, I want my bottle of water.
George is probably trying to come
up with some way to get out of
giving me my change. Why does he
want to keep coins?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Well, he might go to the arcade
afterwards.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Maybe he's one of those people who
keeps coins in a jar and then
takes them to those free coin
counting machines in the bank.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Yeah, I couldn't do that. You feel
like such a cheap bastard.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Well, George is a cheap bastard.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Yes, in all his cheap base
bastardy. One day he will stand up
and cry "stand up for the cheap
bastards".
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Yeah.
                                                            
                       JERRY
They better get back soon. This
game is over. Stupid Rangers.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-LUXURY BOX - NIGHT
                                                            
Kramer is getting ready to leave the box.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Ok guys. You've been great. I
gotta get going.
                                                            

19.

                       EXEC 1
Take care Mr. Kramer.
                                                            
                       EXEC 2
Boy, he was fun.
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
Ok, lets get that deal sealed up.
                                                            
They look over at the clock. The clock reads 9:34 P.M.
                                                            
                       EXEC 2
Oh no!
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
Oh my God!
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-CONCOURSE - NIGHT
                                                            
George is carrying his purchases back to the seats. Two
tough looking guys spot him and confront him.
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 1
Hey, you there in the Islanders
jersey.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Me?
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 2
Yeah you. You think you can come
into the Garden and flaunt your
fancy Islanders jersey? You think
the Islanders are better than the
Rangers? You think just because
the Islanders made the playoffs,
that they are better?
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 1
Come on island boy. Spit it out.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
What, its the only New York hockey
thing I own.
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 2
      (Mock sincerity)
Oh, well that fixes everything
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 1
Lets get him and send him back to
the island the hard way.
                                                            

20.

                       GEORGE
Now come on guys, I can get you
free Yankees tickets. I used to
work for them. You wanna meet
A-Rod? I could maybe set something
up.
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 1
We're Mets fans.
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 2
Yeah, you seem like the kind of
guy who would wear a Yankees hat
to Shea.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Please, don't hurt me. I hate the
Islanders. I love the Rangers. Go
Rangers, beat the Maple Leafs and
the Canadiens and all them.
Please, just don't hurt me. I hope
the Mets win their division. Just
don't hurt me.
                                                            
                       TOUGH GUY 1
Lets get him.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
      (Yelling)
Noooooooooooo!
                                                            
The camera uses one of those outward pans to establish how
loud his yell is.
                                                            
 
INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN-SEATS - NIGHT
                                                            
Jerry and Elaine are getting ready to leave. Kramer is
coming towards them.
                                                            
                       JERRY
      (To Kramer)
Where the hell have you been?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
I was having a great time in a
luxury box with these great guys
from some airlines. You know, they
get their own pizza up there? Its
wonderful. Jerry, next time we
gotta get a luxury box.
                                                            

21.

                       JERRY
      (Sarcastically)
Yeah, we'll all have a luxury box.
Get a luxury box. What kind of
stupid statement is that?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
They have their own bathroom as
well.
                                                            
George is shown coming towards the group and showing what
happened in his recent skirmish. His pretzel is mashed into
his head as is his cheese cup. Elaine's water bottle is
sticking out of his pants which has a huge water stain on
the front. He doesn't look happy.
                                                            
                       JERRY
What happened to you?
                                                            
                       GEORGE
I told you I shouldn't have worn
this jersey. You couldn't lend me
a shirt. You had to say nothing
would happen. Now, I'm standing
here with CHEESE DRIPPIMG DOWN MY
FACE AND WATER IN MY PANTS.
                                                            
                       JERRY
We going? Stupid Rangers can't win
a game.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
They lost? Oh ho, this is
wonderful. This is almost as bad
as that time when I lost my
bathing suit at the water park.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Can I have my change?
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Here. Take your damn change. Its
only two quarters anyway.
                                                            
George throws the quarters down angrily.
                                                            
 
INT. SUBWAY STATION - NIGHT
                                                            
The gang is waiting for their train. George hasn't cleaned
himself off.
                                                            

22.

                       JERRY
Well, that night was a complete
waste.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Jerry, are you sure that we should
be at this platform?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Yes. And George, will you clean
yourself off? You smell like a
bowl of reheated macaroni and
cheese.
                                                            
                       GEORGE
Shut up.
                                                            
Elaine sees Scott at the other platform.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Scott! Wait, I'm not a man!
                                                            
Scott just gets on his train and ignores Elaine.
                                                            
                       ELAINE
Scott! The ladies room had a long
line! I want that crumb cake! Oh,
he's gone.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Well, its gonna be one interesting
hockey season.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Oh man, I never got my big foam
finger.
                                                            
The train arrives and the gang gets on.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Well, the nights not a total loss.
There's a new SNL on tonight.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Who's the musical guest?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Some musician I never heard of.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Oh, he's good.
                                                            
 

23.

INT. JERRY'S APARTMENT - DAY
                                                            
The next day. Jerry is watching Sportscenter on ESPN.
                                                            
                       VOICE ON TV
      (On TV)
Rangers, Flyers. First game on ice
at the Garden in a long while.
First period, Keith Primeau.
Slides it past the goalie. Fly
boys up early.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Man, how could he not stop that?
                                                            
Kramer comes in.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Hey buddy. You got any Honeycomb
cereal?
                                                            
                       JERRY
Cabinet.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
You watching Sportcenter? They do
the Top Ten yet?
                                                            
                       JERRY
No, they're still on highlights
from the game.
                                                            
                       VOICE ON TV
      (On TV)
After the game, there was an
interesting scene outside the
Garden.
                                                            
Shown on TV.
                                                            
                       FLYERS FAN
      (On TV)
Go Flyers. Rangers suck. I'll get
all of you to admit it. Come to
Philly and say that pal.
                                                            
Jerry and Kramer are watching. Jerryis laughing to himself.
                                                            

24.

                       JERRY
At least that jerk got what was
coming to him. Saying the Garden
sucked. Spend a night in jail and
then say that.
                                                            
Jerry changes the channel to the news. The newscaster is
talking about the failed airline merger.
                                                            
                       NEWSCASTER
      (On TV)
USAir and America West failed to
meet the 9:00 deadline last night
meaning the two airlines will not
merge together.
                                                            
The two executives are shown.
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
      (On TV)
Its not our fault. We were all set
to close the deal.
                                                            
                       EXEC 1
      (On TV)
Yeah, it was that damn Kramer.
                                                            
Jerry is now giving Kramer a look.
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Hey, those are the guys from the
box.
                                                            
                       JERRY
You disrupted a merger between two
airlines?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Evidently.
                                                            
                       JERRY
What possessed you to talk to
these people?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Free airline travel
possibility...and cigars.
                                                            
                       JERRY
Did you get any of those things?
                                                            
                       KRAMER
Cigars.
                                                            


FADE OUT.

From Nick Hanks Date 3/8/2008 **
I think the word Rhonda pionted out, "typical", describes this treatment perfectly but I thought there were some very funny moments.

From Rhonda Omberg Date 5/30/2005 **1/2
You have the characters down perfectly; the jokes were good, but the whole George-in-line thing has been done to death. Kramer's misadventure was entertaining and typical of Seinfeld, but the whole thing got lost during the ending--the dialogue tended to meander a little. You got some good stuff here, though. Did you send the spec out?

From Jim Snaza Date 5/19/2005 ***
Made me laugh constantly, but many things that the characters say would not be said in the actual scripts. Gets too far into hockey players and sports. I love sports, but Seinfeld doesn't get in depth about ESPN and Sportscenter. It was pretty good though, I'm not going to lie.
