                           THE DINNER PARTY



                             Written by

                            Larry David




 
               
               
               (Comedy club)

               
               We never should have landed a man on the moon. It's a mistake. 
               Now everything is compared to that one accomplishment. I can't 
               believe they could land a man on the moon . . . and taste my 
               coffee! I think we all would have been a lot happier if they 
               hadn't landed a man on the moon. Then we'd go, They can't make 
               a prescription bottle top that's easy to open? I'm not surprised 
               they couldn't land a man on the moon. Things make perfect sense 
               to me now. Neil Armstrong should have said, "That's one small 
               step for man, one giant leap for every, complaining, sob on the 
               face of the earth. "
 
               
               (Jerry's Apartment)

               
                             ELAINE
               Hey, do you believe I got happy new 
               year today? It's February.
 
               
                             JERRY
               I once got Happy new Year in July.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               It's

               
                             JERRY
               It's pathetic. . . . hey, is it cold 
               out?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               It's really cold.

               
                             JERRY
               Scary cold.

               
                             ELAINE
               I don't know. What's your definition 
               of scary cold?
 
               
               (George enters in Gore-Tex jacket)

               
                             JERRY
               That.

               
                             ELAINE
               Huh, What is that, ha?

               
                             GEORGE
               What?

               
                             JERRY
               When did you get that?

               
                             GEORGE
               This week. My father got a deal from 
               a friend of his. It's Gore-Tex. You 
               know about Gore-Tex?
 
               
                             JERRY
               You like saying Gore-Tex, don't you?
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               You can't even turn around in that thing.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Look at this (start hitting George)
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Hey George, can you feel this? (they 
               are hitting his jacket)
 
               
                             GEORGE
               All right, all right. KNOCK IT OFF. 
               Come on, let's go.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Maybe we should stop off on the way 
               and get a bottle of wine or something.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               What for?

               
                             ELAINE
               These people invited us for dinner. 
               We have to bring something.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Why?

                             ELAINE
               Because it's rude, otherwise.

               
                             GEORGE
               You mean just going there because I'm 
               invited, that's rude?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah.

               
                             GEORGE
               So you're telling me instead of being 
               happy to see me they're going to be 
               upset because I didn't bring anything. 
               You see what I'm saying?
 
               
                             JERRY
               The fabric of society is very complex 
               George.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               I don't even drink wine. I drink Pepsi.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               You can't bring Pepsi.

               
                             GEORGE
               Why not?

               
                             ELAINE
               Because we're adults?

               
                             GEORGE
               You telling me that wine is better than 
               Pepsi? Huh, no way wine is better than 
               Pepsi.
 
               
                             JERRY
               I'm telling you George, I don't think 
               we want to walk in there and put a big 
               plastic jug of Pepsi on the table.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               I just don't like the ideas that every 
               time there is a dinner invitation there's 
               this annoying little chore that goes 
               along with it.
 
               
                             JERRY
               You know, you're getting to be an annoying 
               little chore yourself.
 
               
               (Kramer enters)

               
                             KRAMER
               All right, let's go. Who's driving?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               You are. I can't get that thing (George) 
               in my car.
 
               
               (In Kramer's car)

               
                             JERRY
               Where's the heat in this car? Come on 
               Elaine warm me up, oh! I'm cold. Give 
               me a squeeze.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Get off of me. Get off of ME!

               
                             JERRY
               You're pretty comfortable up there eh. 
               Bubble boy?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Oh, yeah. You wish you had this coat.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               I was just thinking. The four of us 
               can't show up with just one bottle of 
               wine.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Oh, here we go. Why don't we get them 
               a couch? Bring them a nice sectional.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               We'll get some cake. Can you stop off 
               at the bakery?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Why don't you just get some Ring Dings 
               at the liquor store?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Ring Dings?

                             GEORGE
               Hey, Ring Dings are better than anything 
               you'll ever get at a bakery.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               I like Ring Dings.

               
                             ELAINE
               George, we can't show up at someone's 
               house with Ring Dings and Pepsi.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               HEY YOUR LIGHTS ARE ON!

               
                             GEORGE
               It's a funeral procession. . . . And 
               I got news for you. I show up with Ring 
               Dings and Pepsi, I become the biggest 
               hit at the party. People be coming up 
               to me, "just between you and me I'm 
               really excited about the Ring Dings 
               and the Pepsi. Europeans with the Beaujolais 
               and Chardonnay . . .
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Oh, wait a minute. There's the bakery. 
               Stop here. Stop here. Okay, let me out. 
               You, whatever your name is...
 
               
                             JERRY
               Jerry.

               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah, Jerry, come with me.

               
                             KRAMER
               Okay, so we're going to get the wine 
               and we'll pick you up here in ten minutes.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah.

               
                             KRAMER
               All right

               
               
               
               (The Royal Bakery)

               
                             ELAINE
               Ummm, I love the smell of bakeries.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Oh look Elaine, the black and white 
               cookie. I love the black and white. 
               Two races of flavor living side by side 
               (mumble?) It's a wonderful thing isn't 
               it?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               You know I often wonder what you'll 
               be like when you're senile.
 
               
                             JERRY
               I'm looking forward to it.

               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah. I think it will be a very smooth 
               transition for you.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Thank you. All right, look at all this 
               stuff. What are we getting'?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               CHOCOLATE BOBKA! That's their specialty.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Love that Bobka.

               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah, yeah!

               
                             JERRY
               So listen Elaine, when we get up to 
               the door, you , you hold the cake box.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Why?

               
                             JERRY
               I don't know, just standing there with 
               a box, holding it by the little string.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               You think it's effeminate?

               
                             JERRY
               It's a tad dainty.

               
                             ELAINE
               Oh, we forgot to pick a number.

               
                             JERRY
               You see that's not fair. We were here 
               ahead of all these people.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               You think I should go ask her for hers?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               No, forget it.

               
                             ELAINE
               No, no it's not fair. Just because they 
               have a ticket doesn't mean they were 
               here first. We were here and we were 
               ahead of them, and them, and her. Come 
               on let's just go ask them. Come on. 
               . . . Excuse me.

                             KRAMER
               Wow, I'm not finding a spot here. What

               All right, I'll tell you what, why don't 
               you go into the store and I'll wait 
               in the car?

               Because, I've got the coat. I can sit 
               in the car and not get cold.

               I beg your pardon? Cinnamon takes a 
               back seat to no Bobka. People love cinnamon. 
               It should be on tables at restaurants 
               along with salt and pepper. Anytime 
               anyone says, "Oh This is so good. What's 
               in it?" The answer invariably comes 
               back, Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Again and 
               again. Lesser Bobka - I think not.

               Uhm, The thing about eating the Black 
               and White cookie, Elaine, is you want 
               to get some black and some white in 
               each bite. Nothing mixes better than 
               vanilla and chocolate And yet somehow 
               racial harmony eludes us. If people 
               would only look to the cookie all our 
               problems would be solved.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Your views on race relations are fascinating. 
               You really should do an op-ed piece 
               for the Times.

               It's a hair.

               Oh, take it back. Let's get another 
               one.

               will just take a second.

               a hair on it.

               It was a little hair. I took it off.

                             KRAMER
               Yeah, he could build the rocket but 
               he's still stupid for double-parking

                             GEORGE
               So you really understand my point about 
               building a rocket and double-parking.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               Yeah, on one hand he's smart with rockets

               Maybe it's not even stupidity. Maybe 
               it's just a blatant disregard for basic 
               human decency. If this how dictator's 
               start. Do you think Mussolini would

                             JERRY
               I started screaming, "There's a hair 
               in my farina. There's a hair in my farina." 
               Then I ran out of the house and I was 
               running and running. I was little but 
               I could run very fast. I just kept running 
               and they found me like three hours later 
               collapsed at a construction site.

               I heard a weather man say that 75% of your body heat is 
               actually lost through the top of the top of the head. 
               Which sounds like you could go skiing naked if you got a good hat. 
               But there's no hat that makes a statement quite like a hat with a flap. 
               The hat with the flaps makes a statement like no other hat makes. This hat 
               says to the world "I would rather have the heat in my skull rather than 
               anything society could possibly offer." In fact I would say if you're on 
               trial for a serious crime and you lawyer recommends the insanity defense, 
               this is the hat to wear. Your lawyer should insist on it. 

               [puts on the hat] Your honor, "The defense rests."
               
               
                             THE END
