                           Written by

                  Peter Mehlman & David Mandel




 
               
               
               (Coffee shop. George, Elaine, and Jerry enter with suitcases. 
               Elaine has a large bandage on her nose. They all sit down at 
               a booth. All three of them are tired, fed up, and angered)
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               So, Elaine, are you going to sleep with 
               me or what?!
 
               
                             ELAINE
               (Aggravated) George, I just got off 
               a twenty-three hour plane ride. I'm 
               too tired to even vomit at the thought.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               (Angered) Fine. I'll ask you again when 
               you're rested.
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Sarcastic) Oh, I'm sure she'll come 
               around.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah, I hope so. For your sake!

               
               (Kramer comes in and sits down at the booth with them)

               
                             JERRY
               (To George) I said I was sorry.

               
                             GEORGE
               You can stuff you sorries in a sack, 
               mister!
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Nauseated at the saying) Would you 
               please stop saying that?!
 
               
                             KRAMER
               (Confused) What's up with you two?
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               I don't want to talk about it.

               
                             KRAMER
               (To Jerry) So how was the big trip?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               I don't want to talk about it!

               
                             KRAMER
               (Observing Elaine's bandaged nose) Well, 
               what happened to your nose?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               I don't want to talk ab-ow!-t it! (She 
               winces under the pain from her nose 
               on the word 'about')
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Well, you gotta give me something! Come 
               on, how was the wedding? Was the bride 
               radiant?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               She.. was.

               
                             JERRY
               'Till she found out Elaine slept with 
               the groom.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               (Interested) Ooohh.. That sounds juicy. 
               Listen, I gotta go to the bathroom, 
               but I want to hear all about it. (Gets 
               up and heads for the bathroom)
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (While skimming a Monk's menu) You know, 
               I didn't go to the bathroom the entire 
               time we were in India.
 
               
                             JERRY
               I can't believe we went all the way 
               to India for a wedding!
 
               
               (Scene ends)

               
                             
               India)

               
                             
               "ONE DAY EARLIER" People storm out of 
               a building. All are dressed in wedding 
               apparel)
 
               
                             SUE ELLEN
               That's it! The wedding's off.

               
                             PINTER
               What? But, Sue Ellen-

               
                             SUE ELLEN
               (Cutting him off. To Elaine) Elaine, 
               you were my maid of honor and you slept 
               with MY Pinter?!
 
               
                             ELAINE
               No, no, no! It was years ago - before 
               you met him. And, and I got to tell 
               you.. it was very mechanical.
 
               
                             SUE ELLEN
               I have never been so humiliated!

               
                             ELAINE
               (To Jerry and George) Idiots! This is 
               all yoru fault!
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (While pointing at Jerry) Not me! Him! 
               His fault! He betrayed me!
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Pleading) George, I'm sorry..

               
                             GEORGE
               You can stuff your sorries in a sack, 
               Mister!
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Confused) I don't know what that means.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               (To his girlfriend) Alright, Nina, you 
               have to decide right now. Jerry or me?
 
               
               
                             NINA
               (Casually) Alright.. Neither.

               
                             GEORGE
               What?! Well, what are you doing here?
 
               
               
                             NINA
               A free trip to India. And by the way, 
               you can take off those boots. Everyone 
               knows you're five' six.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Five' eight! Five' seven!

               
                             ELAINE
               (To Sue Ellen) See? See the way they 
               are?! We're - we're still best friends, 
               right?
 
               
                             SUE ELLEN
               No. (Grabbing at the stud in Elaine's 
               nose) And take that stupid thing out 
               of your nose!
 
               
               (Elaine screams in pain as Sue Ellen pulls the stud out)

               
                             JERRY
               That's got to hurt, I don't care where 
               you're from!
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Whispering to Jerry) What time is our 
               flight back? I got to go to the bathroom.
 
               
               
               (Scene ends)

               
                             
               A building in India)

               
                             
               "FIFTEEN MINUTES EARLIER" The bride, 
               Sue Ellen, and the Groom, Pinter, are 
               walking down the aisle. Elaine is scattering 
               flowers behind them. Jerry
 
               
               walks in and takes a seat)

               
                             ELAINE
               (Whispering to Jerry) Hey.

               
                             JERRY
               Hey.

               
                             ELAINE
               What happened last night?

               
                             JERRY
               Oh, you were pretty loaded.

               
                             ELAINE
               (Gesturing to her nose stud) I know. 
               I woke up with this.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Oh. Hello, Tetanus.

               
               (Scene cuts to Nina and George entering the wedding hall)

               
                             NINA
               George, I've used the bathroom. It's 
               fine.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Struggling) No, no, no, no. I can walk 
               it off. It's a hundred and twenty degrees 
               in here.. I'll sweat it out.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               (Seeing George, she walks over to greet 
               him) Hey. (Looking at his shoes) Are 
               those Timberlands painted black?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Looking at her nose) Is your nose pierced?
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               (Embarrassed) I should.. (Walks tward 
               the bride and groom)
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah. (Points to two open seats in front 
               of Jerry's. To Nina) Sit down there. 
               (Sees Jerry in the crowd) Hello, Jerry. 
               (Obviously angered at Jerry) I
 
               
               believe you know Nina.

               
                             JERRY
               (As George sits down) George, we need 
               to talk.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Trying to keep his voice down) I think 
               you've done a lot more than talk! You 
               betrayed me!
 
               
                             JERRY
               Alright, I admit it. I slept with Nina, 
               but that's all.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Outraged) "That's all"?! That's everything! 
               I don't know what all the rest of it 
               is for anyway!
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Pleading) I'm really sorry.

               
                             GEORGE
               You can stuff your sorries in a sack, 
               mister!
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Confused) Where'd you get that one?
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               It's an expression.

               
                             ELAINE
               (From the front of the room, she can 
               hear George and Jerry's heated discussion) 
               Hey! Shhhhh! (Crosses herself, then 
               shakes her head - apologizing)
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Trying to whisper to Jerry) Look, we 
               are gonna settle this right now! I demand 
               reparations! I should get to sleep with 
               Elaine. That's the only way to
 
               
               punish you!

               
                             JERRY
               That doesn't punish me. It punishes 
               Elaine! And cruelly, I might add.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               (Losing it) Funny guy!

               
               (Elaine casually makes her way to Jerry and George)

               
                             ELAINE
               Hey! Monkeys! Knock it off. My best 
               friend is trying to get married up here!
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Elaine, you have to sleep with me.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               (Definite) I'm not gonna sleep with 
               you.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Reparations!

               
                             ELAINE
               Would you grow up, George?! What is 
               the difference? Nina slept with (Points 
               to Jerry) him, he slept with me, I slept 
               with Pinter. Nobody cares! It's all
 
               
               
               ancient history.

               
                             GEORGE

               a snowball. He winces from
 
               
               the pain and coldness, then walks up to his friend FDR - the 
               one who threw the snowball at him. He hugs him)

               the whole wedding.

               on a shooting star last night, and I 
               wished against your wish.
 
               
                             FDR
               That's funny. As it happens, I saw the 
               same shooting star and double-wished 
               you to drop dead. (Hands Kramer some 
               coins) Here's your change.

               I'm on an unbelievable birthday-wish 
               hot streak! My last five birthday wishes 
               came true.

               about to slice it)
 
               
                             NEWMAN
               Alright, alright, back, savages. Back! 
               I haven't made my wish yet..

               on the table - on the cover is a beautiful woman. Then blows 
               out the candles)

               Well, this Mischke mish-mash is just 
               gettin' worse.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Uh-huh.

               
                             ELAINE
               I talked with the groom's parents..
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm..

               
                             ELAINE
               ..And it's so obvious that they don't 
               want..
 
               
                             JERRY
               Uh-huh..

               
                             ELAINE
               ..me to go.

               
                             JERRY
               Sure.

               
                             ELAINE
               So, the only reason..

               
                             JERRY
               Uh-huh.

               
                             ELAINE
               ..she sent me an invitation was that 
               so I'd send her a gift.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Uh-huh.

               
                             NINA
               (From Jerry's room) Jerry?

               
                             JERRY
               (To Elaine) Uh, well, you know, a coffee 
               grinder is nice. Or a coffee maker. 
               Everyone likes coffee. Anything to do 
               with coffee. Maybe you should go get
 
               
               
               some coffee.

               
               (Nina enters the living room - sees Elaine)

               
                             NINA
               Oh. Hi.

               
                             ELAINE
               Hi.

               
                             NINA
               (Getting ready to leave) Oh, I should.. 
               um..
 
               
                             JERRY
               Sure.

               
                             ELAINE
               Bye.

               
                             NINA
               Bye-bye. (Leaves)

               
                             ELAINE
               (Gesturing back to the bedroom) Who 
               else ya got back there?
 
               
                             JERRY
               Look, there was an awkward moment in 
               the conversation. It never happened 
               before.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               You slept with Nina? What are you gonna 
               tell George?
 
               
                             JERRY
               Nothing. And neither will you. George 
               can never know about this.. It'll crush 
               him.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Uh. Alright, alright. I'll put it in 
               the vault.
 
               
                             JERRY
               No good. Too many people know the combination.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               (Confused) What combination? (Jerry 
               makes the "drinky-drinky" sign with 
               his hands) Don't be rediculous.
 
               
               (Jerry opens one of his kitchen drawers)

               
                             JERRY
               Oh my god. This drawer is filled with 
               Fruit Loops!
 
               
                             ELAINE
               So what?

               
                             JERRY
               And milk.

               
               (Scene cuts to "THIRTY MINUTES EARLIER" Kramer is in Jerry's 
               kitchen. He spills his milk and cereal on the counter)
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Oh, geez..

               
                             JERRY
               (From outside the apartment) Hello?
 
               
               
               (Kramer quickly opens a drawer and sweeps his mess into it with 
               his arm)

                             USHA
               Don't go. India is a dreadful, dreadful 
               place.

               still has the plague? I mean, the plague! 
               Please!
 
               
                             USHA
               Here's the registry. Send her a gift, 
               and be glad you did not have to go.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               (Soaking it in) Right. Don't go. Send 
               a gift. I think I understand.
 
               
                             ZUBIN
               If I had to go to India, I wouldn't 
               go to the bathroom the entire trip.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE

               George.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Ah, just remember when you see him tomarrow 
               night to tell him that the waiter liked 
               him.

               Believe me. You know, I forgot how much 
               fun it is hanging out with you.
 
               
                             NINA
               I know. You know, we never had a bad 
               conversation.
 
               
                             JERRY
               I know. No awkward pauses. Probably 
               the reason we never fooled around..

                             JERRY

               Kramer, I know what I'm talking about. 
               There's no way FDR wants you to drop 
               dead.

                             FDR
               That's right. My birthday wish was for 
               you to drop dead.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Well, why?

               
                             FDR
               (Sinister) I have my reasons.

               
                             KRAMER
               Woah, wait, wait, wait. If you make 
               a birthday wish out loud, it doesn't 
               come true.

               (Scene cuts to "TEN MINUTES EARLIER" Kramer comes into Jerry's 
               apartment with a huge lollipop)
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Hey, FDR wants me to drop dead.

               
                             GEORGE
               FDR?

               
                             KRAMER
               (To George) Yeah, Franklin Delano Romanowski. 
               (Resumes telling the story) I go to 
               his birthday part, and just before he 
               blew out his candles, he gives
 
               
               me this look..

               
                             GEORGE
               (Guessing the look) Stink eye?

               
                             JERRY
               (Also guessing) Crook eye?

               
                             KRAMER
               (Entroducing yet another type of look 
               to the boys) EVIL eye.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Well, everybody's a little cranky on 
               their birthday..
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Oh, it's a bad day. Uh, you got everyone 
               in your house, you're thinkin', "These 
               are my friends?!"
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Sarcasticly joking off what George 
               said) Everyday is my birthday.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Yeah, well, I can't have this hanging 
               over my head. It's bad mojo.

               Hi.

               You're not gonna believe what I got 
               in the mail. An invitation to Sue Ellen 
               Mischke's wedding.
 
               
                             JERRY
               (Joking about the bra-less wonder) Well, 
               at least the wedding gown will give 
               her some support.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Not the point. The wedding is in one 
               week. I got this (Holds up invitation) 
               today.
 
               
                             JERRY
               So you think it's a non-vite?

               
                             ELAINE
               It's an un-vitation! (Notices George 
               is a few inches higher) Hey, are you 
               gettin' taller?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Showing Elaine his boots) Timberlands.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Ah. (Looking at the invitation) Hey, 
               look at this. 'Pinter Ranawat'.. I wonder 
               if he's related to that guy I dated, 
               Peter Ranawat..
 
               
                             JERRY
               Ah, it's probably like Smith over there.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Jerry, would you make the call already?
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               What call?

               
                             JERRY
               (Picks up the phone, dialing Nina) He 
               wants me to set him up with this girl, 
               Nina Stengal.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               (Remembers Jerry's talking about her) 
               Oh, the great conversation girl. (Somewhat 
               bitter tward Jerry) The one you think 
               can replace me?
 
               
                             JERRY
               I was kidding when I said that!

               
                             GEORGE
               (To Elaine) Told me the same thing.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               (On the phone) Nina, Hi. It's Jerry.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               You-you sure you never slept with her? 
               (Jerry shakes his head 'no') Perfect.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               (To Nina) Hey, how 'bout my friend, 
               George? Quite a guy, huh?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               (Rubbing his stomach) Ooh.. Something's 
               not sitting right..

                             GEORGE
               I'll have the clam casino.

               
                             JERRY
               Get outta here.

               
                             GEORGE
               (Showing Jerry the menu) "Chef recommends"
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Hmm..

               
                             GEORGE
               (Motioning tward waitress) I think she 
               likes me.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Sure.

               
                             GEORGE
               So, how come nothing ever happened between 
               you and Nina? (Getting paranoid) Is 
               there a problem with her? Is she a man?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Are you?

               
                             GEORGE
               Well, what's the reason?

               
                             JERRY
               We were too compatible.. Our conversations 
               were so engrossing.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               How engrossing?

               
                             JERRY
               If we ever had a problem with Elaine, 
               we could bring in Nina and not lose 
               a step.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Wow! Heh. (Half kidding) You don't, 
               huh, have a replacement lined up for 
               me, do ya?
 
               
               (Jerry snickers, then stares at George, smiling)

               
                             JERRY
               Anyway, like I was saying, I couldn't 
               make the trasition from conversation 
               to sex. There were no awkward pauses.. 
               I need an awkward pause.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               I'm all for awkward pauses. Fix me up 
               with her.. Wait a minute, Nina just 
               saw me in my Timberlands! Now I have 
               to wwear them every time I see her.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Why?

               
                             GEORGE
               In any othe shoe, I lose two inches. 
               I - I can't have a drop down. We were 
               eye to eye, I can't go eye to chin!
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               So, you're gonna wear 'em no matter 
               what the situation?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               In every situation. No matter how silly 
               I look. (Tastes his meal) Hm.. tastes 
               a little funky.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Oh, I'm sure it's fine.

               How as the date?

               
                             JERRY

               one.
 
               
                             SUSAN

               Hey, hey. Yeah, check it out. It's packin' 
               tight! (Puts the snowball on the table, 
               then drips water from Jerry's cup onto 
               it)
 
               
                             JERRY
               What are you bringing snowballs in here 
               for?
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Oh, I need some water. Ice it up nice 
               and hard.. and when you throw it - Pop! 
               Oh look, (Looks out the Monk's windows) 
               there's my friend, FDR. I'm
 
               
               gonna nail him in the back of the head. It's gonna be great! 
               (Rushes out of Monks to peg his friend with the snowball)

               (Turning around and leaving with Pinter) 
               Hey, let's go someplace else, Okay, 
               Peter?

               "ELEVEN YEARS EARLIER" Jerry, carrying 
               a box, is moving in to his apartment 
               for the first time. He meets his across-the-hall 
               neighbor, Kramer)
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Oh, hey, how you doing?

               
                             JERRY
               Oh, hi. I-I'm Jerry Seinfeld. I'm movin' 
               in. I saw your name on the buzzer - 
               You must be Kessler.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Uh, no. Actually, it's Kramer.

               
                             JERRY
               Oh.

               
                             KRAMER
               Uh, you need any help, or..?

               
                             JERRY
               No, thanks. But I ordered a pizza. You 
               want some of it?
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Uh, no, no, no. I couldn't impose.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Why not? We're neighbors. What's mine 
               is yours. (And with that, Jerry made 
               the most fatal mistake of his life)
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
