Scenario#7(George's Lie)

(George is watching movie with his new girlfriend Sarah in his apartment)

George: Isn't this movie great, everytime I watch it, just keeps getting better and better.

Sarah: So tell me, do you like me more or this movie?

(George turns his head toward her slowly with a kind of face that has a gentle smile on the outside and "what the hell is she talking about" on the inside)

(Cut to the Coffe Shop)

Jerry(exclamation mark on his face): She compares herself with all animate as well as inanimate things that you are inclined towards and wants to know if you like her more than the object of your inclination?

George: Yes, yesterday she competed against a choclate chip cookie.

Jerry: Did she win?

George: No

Jerry: Mint?

George: No.

Jerry: So what exactly is your problem here?

George: I'm just finding it difficult to lie to her all the time, telling her that I like her more than anything else.

Jerry: Oh come on, since when is lying a problem for you?

George: No, you don't understand. I've grown way beyond simple, straight forward kind of a lie. They just dont challenge me enough. I'm getting sick of lying. That's my problem.

Jerry: And if you tell the truth, drives them staright to mental institutions.

George: That's a given.

Jerry: Well, I think you're gonna have to keep lying Geroge. I understand that it is way too simple and easy but I'm sure it's worth your effort.

Scenario#6(George's Normal!)

Jerry: So how are things between you and Amy, the accountant?

George: Not so good.

Elaine: You know not so good is sometimes not so bad, really.

George: She wants to keep track of all my expenses on a weekly basis and help me get more out of my money.

Jerry: That is bad. So this can’t last more than a week, can it?

George: You think I can break up?

Jerry: Yeah, sure, this has to be the most normal and socially acceptable reason you ever broke-up for.

George: I mean I am having trouble maintaining a level of cunning manipulation of my finances that you'd normally expect with your parents or a wife. I don’t want her to know all the things I spend money on!

Elaine: What exactly do you spend money on?

George: That’s what I don’t want her to know.

Elaine: What, that you don’t spend money on most anything?

George: Never mind.

(George turns to Jerry)
George: So I'm being normal here right, everything's normal right?

Jerry: Perfectly normal…for this time anyway.

(George is proud of himself)

George: Boy, being normal feels really great.

Scenario#5(George's Interview)

(George, Jerry and Kramer are at the Coffee Shop, not particularly to have coffee, not particularly to meet each other and have a conversation. The reason why they’re there is nothing)

(George is in a nice formal suit, looking like an executive)

Jerry: So, are you well prepared for the interview, Mr.Lohman?

George: Hey don’t worry about me; I might have attended more interviews than the total number of comedy shows you may have done in your life.

Kramer: You know I don’t even believe in interviews.

(George and Jerry look at Kramer for a second and then look back at each other)

Jerry: That’s not the way to look at it, is it? The number of comedy shows where I bombed miserably is much less than the total number of interviews you attended.

Kramer: You always end up hiring the wrong people. That is why all the jobs are getting out sourced to India now which was you know, my idea! You can’t decide what a person is capable of or not capable of in half –hour!

Jerry: Yes, I’m sure it takes days to find out all the things you are not capable of.

Kramer: Right. Huh?

Scenario#4(George Writes)

(George is at his parents’ home…)

Estelle: Writer? What do you mean Georgie?

George: Television writer, Jerry and me, we’re gonna write a sitcom.

Estelle: I’m sorry; I don’t see how a real estate agent can become a writer.

George: Well, as far as I personally am concerned, real estate agent or a front office guy or any other job on the face of the earth is just as difficult as being a writer.

Estelle: Jerry can write; he doesn’t do anything.

George: What do you think, Jerry can make it alone? I give him ideas! He uh he uses ‘babys’ for example which was originally my idea.

Frank: Son, I always believed in you.

(George turns towards his father; Estelle continues to look at neither)

George: Really?

Estelle: Your father is lying George.

(Frank gets up and stands in front of Estelle)

Frank: YOU DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BRINGING UP CHILDREN!

Estelle: WELL I DON’T KNOW HOW TO LIE!

Frank: I LIED BECAUSE I HAD TO ENCOURAGE HIM THAT’S WHY!

George: Alright the two of you! I’m already brought up! Now let us PLEASE forget about how I was brought up and…what I’ve grown in to.

Estelle: What do you mean encourage, Frank?

Frank: Every person is born with some kind of skill, since George does not have any other I am guessing this could be his thing. Who knows, as the son of a TV Guide collector, he may have some skill for TV writing.

Scenario#3(George's Day)

George: "If you take everything I have accomplished in my entire life and condense it to one day, it looks decent."

(George pauses for a second)

George: Make it a half day, and, who knows, maybe I am as good as Kennedy, huh? Jerry? Wha..?

(Jerry gives George almost the same look that he gave when George says:"You don’t have another girl lined up for me do you?”(The Betrayal))

(George realizes maybe he went way too far in self-praise(One has to understand that it is reasonable for him to go too far since he gets the chance to do so very rarely), opens the door to Jerry’s apartment to get out and turns back with his hand on the door knob, sensing Jerry’s about to say something.)

(Jerry starts walking toward the couch from the kitchen counter and it is not clear whether he is aware of George’s existence or not)

(George closes the door behind him and disappears before Jerry could finish his sentence. Jerry continues anyway)

Jerry: Ask not what you can do in your whole life; ask what you can do in half day.

Scenario#2(Kramer Inside)

Jerry: George it happened to us today so I'm wondering; would you pick money off the street, you know, if you chance upon it?

George: It depends...on the magnitude of the note, how many people around, the traffic and other factors.

Jerry: Boy, you spend more thinking on it than you do to earn a buck in a legitimate way.

George: So, did you pick it up?

Jerry: No Kramer did. And from what I could tell I don't think he considered any of the factors you mentioned.

(Jerry pauses for a second)

Jerry: You know Kramer is sometimes like that man inside me that I'm always worried might get out some how.

George: Yeah, he's always like that man inside everybody.

Scenario#1(George's Life)

(George buzzs up Jerry, Jerry presses on the buzzer.)

George: It's George.

Jerry: Come on up.

(George enters the apartment and sees Jerry at the kitchen counter with a bottle of drink.)

Jerry: How come you're late.

George: You wont believe this, I almost got hit by a bus today. I was crossing the street and it came so close, my whole life flashed before my eyes and...

(Jerry is holding a drink in his hand and is listening to George with somewhat of an awe.)

Jerry: Yeah and...???

George(somewhat subdued): ...needless to say the panic of getting hit by the bus paled in comparision.

(Jerry nods as if it makes perfect sense to him and takes a sip from the bottle he is holding.)

Foreword

Supposing that Seinfeld's all over after its last episode in 1998 is like saying there wont be any more words in the English language after Samuel Johnson died. What Seinfeld did was give us a viewpoint on things, a way of looking at things, people, situations and more, especially nothing. A show might end, a person might die but the thinking should continue. This precisely is the aim of this web endeavour. I felt bad when I learnt that Seinfeld was going to end. Over the years I seriously thought why it should end and felt that I simply cannot have the fun of Seinfeld taken away from me. Even if it means creating my own Seinfeld
