                             THE RACE



                             Written by

                Tom Gammill, Max Pross & Larry David




 
               
               
               (Comedy club)

               
               The Christmas tree certainly seems to inspire a love/hate relationship. 
               All that time is spent selecting it and decorating it, and then 
               a week after it's just thrown somewhere, you see it by the side 
               of the road, it looks like a mob hit. A car slows down, a door 
               opens and this tree just rolls out. People snap out of that Christmas 
               spirit like it was a drunken stupor, they just wake up one morning 
               and go, "Oh my god, there's a tree inside the house! Just throw 
               it anywhere!

               MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU! Well, I guess 
               we'll just go out.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah. What are you doing with the Daily 
               Worker?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Ned must have left it here.

               
                             GEORGE
               Your boyfriend reads the Daily Worker? 
               What is he? A
 
               
               communist?

               
                             ELAINE
               HE reads everything, you know, Ned's 
               very well read.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Maybe he's just "very well RED"?

               
                             ELAINE
               Communist? Don't you think he probably 
               would have told
 
               
               me?

               
                             GEORGE
               Well, does he wear bland, drab, olive 
               colored clothing?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Yes, . . . yes he does dress a little 
               drab.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Huh, he's a communist. . . . Look at 
               this. "Exciting
 
               
               uninhibited woman seeks forward thinking comrade and appearance 
               not important." . . . Appearance Not Important! This is unbelievable. 
               Finally this is an ideology I can embrace.
 
               
               (Jerry enters)

               
                             JERRY
               Hi oh.

               
                             ELAINE
               and GEORGE: Hey.

               
                             ELAINE
               Where's Lois?

               
                             JERRY
               She couldn't make it.

               
               ===========break ========

               
                             GEORGE
               I can't believe you're really going 
               out with a woman named
 
               
               Lois.

               
                             JERRY
               I know, finally. But George, guess who 
               her boss is. Duncan Meyers.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Duncan Meyers?

               
                             ELAINE
               Who's he?

               
                             JERRY
               Elaine, only one other person in the 
               world knows what I am about to tell 
               you and that's George. When we were 
               in the ninth grade they had us all line 
               up at one end of the school yard for 
               this big race to see who was going to 
               represent the school in this track meet.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Uh uh

               
                             JERRY
               I was the last one on the end. George 
               was next to me. And Mr. Bevilacqua, 
               the gym . . .
 
               
                             ELAINE
               What's that?

               
                             JERRY
               Mr. Bevilacqua, the gym teacher.

               
                             ELAINE
               Oh, of course.

               
                             JERRY
               He was down at the other end. So he 
               yells out, "Ready, On your mark, Get 
               set, " and I was so keyed up I just 
               took off. By the time he said go I was 
               ten yards ahead of everybody.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               No.

               
                             GEORGE
               I looked up. I couldn't believe it.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               By the time the race was over I had 
               won. I was shocked nobody had noticed 
               the head start.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Really?

               
                             JERRY
               And I had won by so much a myth began 
               to grow about my
 
               
               speed. Only Duncan suspected something was a miss. He's hated 
               me
 
               
               ever since. Now he's back.

               
                             ELAINE
               Well what happened when you raced him 
               again?
 
               
                             JERRY
               I never did. In four years of high school 
               I would never race anyone again. Not 
               even to the end of the block to catch 
               a bus. And so the legend grew. Everyone 
               wanted me to race. They begged me. The 
               track coach called my parents. Pleading. 
               Telling them it was a sin to waste my 
               god given talent. But I answered him 
               in the same way I answered everyone. 
               I chose not to run.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               So now Duncan is back?

               
                             JERRY
               He's back. And I knew he would be someday.

               that's some tart cider!

               
               (In Jerry's Car - Lois gets in)

               
                             LOIS
               Hi.

               
                             JERRY
               Hi.

               
                             LOIS
               Sorry I missed the Chinese food.

               
                             JERRY
               Oh, so am I . Uh, how's Duncan?

               
                             LOIS
               He's okay.

               
                             JERRY
               He say anything?

               
                             LOIS
               About what?

               
                             JERRY
               Oh, nothing in particular.

               
                             LOIS
               . . . Why did you cheat in that race?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               I did not cheat.

               
                             LOIS
               He said that you got a head start.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Oh, he's just jealous because he came 
               in second.
 
               
                             LOIS
               Really?

               
                             JERRY
               Yes

               
                             LOIS
               So you WERE the fastest kid in school.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Faster than a speeding bullet Lois.

               I couldn't tell her the truth. I don't 
               know what's going to happen between 
               us. What if we have a bad breakup. She'll 
               go straight to Duncan. And I want him 
               to go to his grave never being certain 
               I got that

               Duncan wants to get together with her 
               and me for lunch tomorrow. He obviously 
               wants me to admit I got a head start. 
               And I don't think she believes me.

               what. I'll show up. He doesn't know 
               we're friends. I'll pretend I haven't 
               seen you since High School. I'll back 
               up the story.

               So what have you been doing with yourself?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               I'm I'm a comedian.

               
                             GEORGE
               Ah ha, well, I really wouldn't know 
               about that. I don't watch much TV. I 
               like to read. So what do you do, a lot 
               of that "did you ever notice?" this 
               kind of stuff.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Yeah, yeah

               
                             GEORGE
               It strikes me a lot of guys are doing 
               that kind of humor now.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Yeah, yeah, Well, you really got bald 
               there, didn't you?
 
               
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah, yeah.

               
                             JERRY
               You really used to have a think full 
               head of hair.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess I started 
               losing it when I was about twenty-eight 
               right around the time I made my first 
               million. You know what they say. The 
               first million is the hardest one.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               yeah, yeah.

               
                             LOIS
               What do you do?

               
                             GEORGE
               I'm an architect.

               
                             LOIS
               Have you designed any buildings in New 
               York?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Have you seen the new addition to the 
               Guggenheim?
 
               
                             LOIS
               You did that?

               
                             GEORGE
               Yep. And it didn't take very long either.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Well you've really built yourself up 
               into something.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Well, well, I had a dream, Jerry.

               
                             JERRY
               Well, one cannot help( but wonder what 
               brings you into a crummy little coffee 
               shop like this.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Well, I like to stay in touch with the 
               people.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Ah, you know you have a hole in your 
               sneaker there. What is that canvas?
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               You know my driver's waiting, I really 
               should get running. Good to see you 
               guys again.
 
               
                             JERRY
               George, George, hang on. I haven't seen 
               you in so long.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Ha, uh,

               
                             JERRY
               I thought we might reminisce a little 
               more. You know Duncan and I were just 
               taking about the big race.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Oh, the big race.

               
                             JERRY
               Yeah.

               
                             GEORGE
               Yes, yes,.

               
                             LOIS
               You were there?

               
                             GEORGE
               Yes, sure, surely was. Yeah, I'll remember 
               that day. Well I'll never forget it 
               because that was the day that I uh, 
               lost my virginity to Miss. Stafford, 
               the uh, voluptuous home room teacher.
 
               
               
                             DUNCAN
               Miss Stafford?

               
                             GEORGE
               Yes, yes, you know I was in detention 
               and she came up behind me while I was 
               erasing the blackboard . . .
 
               
                             JERRY
               George!

               
                             GEORGE
               But I digress. Let me see, now. You 
               were standing at one end of the line 
               and I was right next to you. And I remember 
               we were even for like, the first five 
               yards and then , BOOM,...You were gone.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Did I get a head start?

               
                             GEORGE
               Head start, oh no absolutely not.

               
                             JERRY
               You satisfied? So you see?

               
                             DUNCAN
               No, I'm still not convinced and I never 
               will be.
 
               
                             LOIS
               Why don't the two of you just race again?
 
               
               
                             DUNCAN
               That's a good idea.

               
                             JERRY
               No, no, no, another race - out of the 
               question.
 
               
                             DUNCAN
               I know, you've been saying that for 
               twenty years because you know you can't 
               beat me. You couldn't beat me then and 
               you can't beat me now.
 
               
                             LOIS
               Race him Jerry. Race him.

               
                             JERRY
               All right! I'll do it. The race is on.

                             JERRY
               And he's calling all these people from 
               High School to come and watch. I knew 
               this day would come. I can't do it. 
               I can't go through with it. I'm calling 
               it off. I can't let the legend die.

                             KRAMER
               Well, if you've got needs and abilities 
               that's a pretty good combination.

                             KRAMER
               Well, because the meats are divided 
               into a class system. You got Pastrami 
               and Corned Beef in one class and Salami 
               and Bologna in another. That's not right.

               maybe.

               are assembled in Tai Wan by kids like 
               you. And these Coleman pigs, they sell 
               it at triple the cost.

               You see kid, you're being bamboozaled. 
               These capatalist fat cats are inflating 
               the profit margin and reducing your 
               total number of toys.

               don't race, he's going to fire me.

               Yes he can. He controls the means of

               Jerry?

               George, the wordaround the office is 
               that you're a Communist.

                             STEINBRENNER
               You know George, it struck me today 
               me that a Communistpipeline into the 
               vast reservoir of Cuban baseball talent 
               could be thegreatest thing ever to happen 
               to this organization.

               Good, Merry Christmas George. And bring 
               me back some of those cigars in the 
               cedar boxes, you know the ones with 
               the fancy rings? I love those fancy 
               rings. They kind of distract you while 
               you're smoking. The red and yellow are 
               nice. It looks good against the brown 
               of the cigar. The Maduro, I like the 
               Maduro wrapper. The darker the better, 
               that's what I say. Of course, the Claro's 
               good too. That's more of a pale brown, 
               almost like a milky coffee. (George 
               exits) I find the ring size very confusing. 
               They have it in centimeters which I 
               don't really understand that well...

               be my guest for dinner tonight at the 
               Presidential palace. There will be girls 
               there and, I hear, some pretty good 
               food. Of course the problem with parties 
               is you invariably have to eat standing 
               up which I don't care for but on the 
               other hand I don't like to balance a 
               plate on my lap either. Once when I 
               was at a party, I put my plate on someone's 
               piano. I assure you, if I had not been 
               a dictator, I would not have been able 
               to get away with that one.
