                         THE FINALE PART 2
						  
						  
						  
                            Written by

                           Larry David
						  
				  
 
               
               (The four are in prison, having a meal)

               
                             KRAMER
               Mmmm, this is pretty good chow, huh?
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Would it kill him to check up on us? 
               No - drops off the meals and that's 
               it. I realize we're prisoners, but we're 
               still entitled to catsup.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               I guess we could've called for help.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               But then we would have missed the whole 
               thing.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               I still had it on video. We could have 
               watched it later.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah, he's right.

               
                             JERRY
               I forgot about the video.

               
                             ELAINE
               Sure - the video.

               
               (Jerry's beeper starts beeping)

               
                             ELAINE
               What is that?

               
                             JERRY
               Plane's ready.

               
               (Rivera Live news show)

               
                             RIVERA
               Hi everybody, I'm Geraldo Rivera. Tonight 
               we'll be talking about what most of 
               you have probably been
 
               
               discussing in your homes, and around the water coolers in your 
               offices. I am speaking of course of the controversial Good Samaritan 
               trial that gets underway Thursday in Latham, Massachusetts. Now 
               before we meet our distinguished panel, let's go to Latham live, 
               where Jane Wells is standing by. Jane-
 
               
                             WELLS
               Yes. Good evening, Geraldo.

               
                             RIVERA
               What's the mood? What's going on tonight?
 
               
               
                             WELLS
               Well, Latham is fairly quite tonight, 
               considering the media circus that has 
               descended upon this quaint little town.
 
               
               
                             RIVERA
               And what about the defendants - the 
               so-called New York Four. How are they 
               holding up?
 
               
                             WELLS
               Well, I did speak with one of the deputies 
               who had some contact with them, and 
               he told me quote "There's no love lost 
               with that group."
 
               
                             RIVERA
               Anything else, Jane?

               
                             WELLS
               There also seems to be some friction 
               between Mr. Seinfeld, and Ms. Benes. 
               The rumor is that they once dated,
 
               
               
               and it's possible that ended badly.

               
                             RIVERA
               Well, ladies and gentlemen, who know, 
               maybe this trial will bring them closer 
               together. Maybe they'll even end up 
               getting married.
 
               
               (Jerry's parents are packing)

               
                             HELEN
               I hope you packed enough - this trial 
               could last for weeks.
 
               
                             MORTY
               What's all that?

               
                             HELEN
               Cereal.

               
                             MORTY
               You're packing cereal?

               
                             HELEN
               I'm bringing it for Jerry.

               
                             MORTY
               You got enough here for a life sentence.
 
               
               
                             HELEN
               He likes it. He says he misses that 
               more that anything.
 
               
                             MORTY
               So bring a snack-pack.

               Poor Georgie, was it our fault this 
               happened to him? Did we do something 
               wrong? Maybe it was our fault.
 
               
                             FRANK
               Maybe it was your fault. It wasn't my 
               fault. I can tell you that.
 
               
                             ESTELLE
               Oh, so it was my fault, but not yours.
 
               
               
                             FRANK
               You were the one who smothered him.
 
               
               
                             ESTELLE
               I did not smother him.

               
                             FRANK
               You smothered! He couldn't get any air! 
               He couldn't breathe! He was suffocating!
 
               
               
                             ESTELLE
               Sure, and you were always in Korea with 
               your religious chachkis.
 
               
                             FRANK
               I had to make a living!

               Leo leaves with his bags, followed by J. Peterman, David Puddy 
               in his 8-ball jacket, Mickey, Kenny Bania, Mr. and Mrs. Ross, 
               Mr. Bookman, Keith Hernandez, and George

               (The four are at a table. Jerry and Kramer are enjoying some 
               cereal, while they wait for Jackie Chiles.)
 
               
                             KRAMER
               This is excellent huh? Don't worry I 
               didn't use too much milk, cause I know 
               we gotta make it last.
 
               
                             JERRY
               You know I've had to reduce my milk 
               level. My whole life I've always filled 
               to at least three quarters - sometimes, 
               to the top of the cereal. Now, to conserve, 
               I can't even see the milk anymore. It's 
               a big adjustment.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               I bet.

               
                             JERRY
               It's one of the hardest things I've 
               ever had to do.

                             CHILES
               Good morning.

               
                             ELAINE
               Good morning, Jackie.

               
                             JERRY
               Good morning.

               
                             CHILES
               Is everybody ready? Didn't I tell you 
               I wanted you to wear the cardigan?
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               It makes me look older.

               
                             CHILES
               Look older? Do you think this is a game? 
               Is that what you think this is? I'm 
               trying to give you amoral compass. You 
               have no moral compass. You're going 
               to walk into that courtroom, and the 
               jury's going to see a mean, nasty, evil 
               George Costanza. I want them to see 
               Perry Como. No one's going to convict 
               Perry Como. Perry Como helps out a fat 
               tub who's getting robbed.

                             CHILES
               Do you think it's funny?

               
                             JERRY
               No.

               
                             CHILES
               You damn right it isn't. You better 
               not be carrying on laughing in that 
               courtroom, funny man. Cause if you start 
               getting all smart-alecky, making wisecracks, 
               acting a fool, you gonna find yourself 
               in here for a long, long time. I don't 
               like that tie. Suzie, get one of my 
               ties from my briefcase.

               You one fine-looking sexy lady.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Thank you, Jackie.

               
                             KRAMER
               How bout me, Jackie?

               
                             CHILES
               Kramer, you always look good. You got 
               respect for yourself. You're genuine. 
               Jury's going to pick up on that.

                             JERRY
               This one?

               
                             CHILES
               That's right.

               
                             JERRY
               Do I have to?

               
                             ELAINE
               Jackie says put it on, Jerry.

               Yeah.

                             HOYT
               Ladies and gentlemen, last year, our 
               City Council by a vote of twelve to 
               two, passed a Good Samaritan Law. Now, 
               essentially, we made it a crime to ignore 
               a fellow human being in trouble. Now 
               this group from New York not only ignored, 
               but, as we will prove, they actually 
               mocked the victim as he was being robbed 
               at gunpoint. I can guarantee you one 
               other thing, ladies and gentlemen, this 
               is not the first time they have behaved 
               in this manner. On the contrary, they 
               have quite a record of mocking and maligning. 
               This is a history of selfishness, self-absorption, 
               immaturity, and greed. And you will 
               see how everyone who has come into contact 
               with these four individuals has been 
               abused, wronged, deceived and betrayed. 
               This time, they have gone too far. This

               I am shocked and chagrined, mortified 
               and stupefied. This trial is outrageous! 
               It is a waste of the taxpayers' time 
               and money. It is a travesty of justice 
               that these four people have been incarcerated 
               while the real perpetrator is walking 
               around laughing - lying and laughing, 
               laughing and lying. You know what these 
               four people were? They were innocentbystanders. 
               Now, you just think about that term. 
               Innocent. Bystanders. Because that's 
               exactly what they were. We know theywere 
               bystanders, nobody's disputing that. 
               So how can a bystander be guilty? No 
               such thing. Have you ever heard of a 
               guilty bystander? No, because you cannot 
               be a bystander and be guilty. Bystanders 
               are by definition, innocent. That is 
               the nature of bystanding. But no, they 
               want to change nature here. They want 
               to create a whole new animal - the guilty 
               bystander. Don't you let them do it. 
               Only you can stop them.

               I owned a restaurant. Seinfeld told 
               me to change the menu to Pakistani. 
               But nobody came! There were no people.

                             BABU
               Then, he got me an apartment in his 
               building. But they mixed up the mail. 
               And I never got my immigration renewal 
               papers. So they deported me. It's all 
               his fault. Him. And the woman. But they 
               did not care. They're totally indifferent. 
               All they do is mock me, just like they 
               did the fat fellow. All the time. Mocking, 
               mocking, mocking, mocking, mocking. 
               All the time! Now it is Babu's turn 
               to mock. Finally I will have some justice. 
               Send them away! Send them all away! 
               Lock them up forever! They are not human. 
               Very bad! Very, very, very bad!

                             RIVERA
               Hi everybody, I'm Geraldo Rivera and 
               welcome to this special edition of Rivera 
               Live. Well, arguments in the
 
               
               Good Samaritan trial ended today. The jury has been in deliberation 
               for four and a half hours now. Let's go live to
 
               
               Jane Wells who is in Latham, Massachusetts, covering this trial 
               for us. Jane -
 
               
                             WELLS
               Geraldo, just a few minutes ago, the 
               jury asked to see the video tape.
 
               
               
                             RIVERA
               That's the one where they are overheard 
               making sarcastic remarks during the 
               robbery.
 
               
                             WELLS
               Yes, it's a very incriminating piece 
               of evidence. But I must tell you, Geraldo, 
               this courtroom and everyone who has 
               attended this trial is still reeling 
               from the endless parade of witness who 
               have come forth so enthusiastically 
               to testify against these four seemingly 
               ordinary people. One even had the feeling 
               that if Judge Vandelay didn't finally 
               put a stop to it, it could've gone on 
               for months.
 
               
                             RIVERA
               Jane, whose testimony do you think resonated 
               most strongly with this jury?
 
               
                             WELLS
               That is so hard to say. Certainly there's 
               the doctor with the poison invitations. 
               The Bubble Boy was an extremely sympathetic 
               and tragic figure. And that bizarre 
               contest certainly didn't sit well with 
               this small town jury.There's the woman 
               they sold the defective wheelchair to, 
               the deported Pakistani restaurateur. 
               Geraldo, it just went on,
 
               
               and on, and on, into the night.

               what circumstances the four of you found 
               each other, but your callous indifference 
               and utter disregard for everything that 
               is good and decent has rocked the very 
               foundation upon which our society is 
               built. I can think of nothing more fitting 
               than for the four of youto spend a year 
               removed from society so that you can 
               contemplate the manner in which you 
               have conducted yourselves.
 
               
               I know I will. This court is adjourned.

               You had to hop! You had to hop on the 
               plane.

               Puddy, don't wait for me.

               
                             PUDDY
               Alright.

               
                             FRANK
               We gotta get out of here. We want to 
               beat the traffic.
 
               
                             SIDRA
               Come on, Jackie. Let's go.

               
                             JERRY
               What?

               
                             CHILES
               Oh, and by the way, they're real, and 
               they're spectacular.
 
               
               (The group, walking back to the holding cell)

               
                             JERRY
               Well, it's only a year. That's not so 
               bad. We'll be out in a year, and then 
               we'll be back
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Could be fun. Don't have to worry about 
               your meals, or what you're going to 
               do Saturday night. And they do shows. 
               Yeah, we could put on a show - maybe 
               "Bye Bye Birdie" or "My Fair Lady". 
               Elaine, you could be Liza Doolittle.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Why don't you just blow it out your...
 
               
               
               (They enter the cell)

               
                             ELAINE
               If I call Jill from prison, do you think 
               that would make up for the other ones?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Sure.

               
                             ELAINE
               Cause you only get one call. The prison 
               call is like the king of calls.
 
               
                             JERRY
               I think that would be a very nice gesture.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               I got it - it's out! How about that, 
               huh? Oh, boy, what a relief.
 
               
                             JERRY
               See now, to me, that button is in the 
               worst possible spot.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Really?

               
                             JERRY
               Oh yeah. The second button is the key 
               button. It literally makes or breaks 
               the shirt. Look at it, it's
 
               
               too high, it's in no-man's land.

               
                             GEORGE
               Haven't we had this conversation before?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               You think?

               
                             GEORGE
               I think we have.

               
                             JERRY
               Yeah, maybe we have.

                             JERRY
               So what is the deal with the yard? I 
               mean when I was a kid my mother wanted 
               me to play in the yard. But of
 
               
               course she didn't have to worry about my next door neighbor Tommy 
               sticking a shiv in my thigh. And what's with the lockdown? Why 
               do we have to be locked in our cells? Are we that bad that we 
               have to be sent to prison, in prison?
 
               
               You would think the weightlifting and the sodomy is enough. So, 
               anyone from Cellblock D?
 
               
                             PRISONER 1
               I am.

               
                             JERRY
               I'll talk slower. I'm kidding - I love 
               Cellblock D. My friend George is in 
               Cellblock D. What are you in for,sir?
 
               
               
                             PRISONER 2
               Murder one.

               
                             JERRY
               Murder one? Oooooo, watch out everybody. 
               Better be nice to you. I'm only kidding 
               sir - lighten up. How about
 
               
               you, what are you in for?

               
                             PRISONER 3
               Grand theft auto.

               
                             JERRY
               Grand theft auto - don't steal any of 
               my jokes.
 
               
                             PRISONER 3
               You suck - I'm gonna cut you.

               
                             JERRY
               Hey, I don't come down to where you 
               work, and knock the license plate out 
               of your hand.
 
               
                             GUARD
               Alright, Seinfeld, that's it. Let's 
               go. Come on.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Alright, hey, you've been great! See 
               you in the cafeteria.
