               So, does he like you?

               
                             ELAINE
               What do you think?

               
                             JERRY

               Yeah, yeah like him, definitely like 
               him. I like him a lot.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               What's wrong with him?

               
                             ELAINE
               Nothing, and I've looked.

               
                             GEORGE
               Well, I'm sure you'll find something.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               So, how did you meet him?

               
                             ELAINE
               In the office.

               
                             JERRY
               So, he's a writer.

               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah.

               
                             JERRY
               Yeah, big surprise.

               
                             ELAINE
               So, I was sitting at the reception desk, 
               I was looking pretty hot. I was wearing 
               my sling back pumps.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               What are those?

               
                             ELAINE
               Ask your mother, you live with her now, 
               don't you? Anyway, so then this guy 
               comes up to me and starts feeling my 
               jacket through his thumb and his forefinger
 
               
               
               like this.

               
                             JERRY
               So, what did you do?

               
                             ELAINE
               I said: "So, what do you think?". And 
               he said, "Gabardine?". And I said, "Yeah." 
               That was it.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Wow, just felt your material?

               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah...Jake Jarmel.

               
                             GEORGE
               Sounds like a cool guy.

               
                             JERRY
               Sounds like a jerk. Felt your material, 
               come on.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Jerry, where did you get that sweater?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               What do you think? I found it at the 
               back of my closet.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               I think that's what the back of closets 
               are for.
 
               
               Elaine looks out the window

               
                             ELAINE
               Hey, that's Barry. Look it's Barry.

                             GEORGE
               I don't know how you can let this guy 
               handle all your money.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Oh, he doesn't handle my money, he handles 
               Jerry's money. He just does my taxes.
 
               
               
               Barry comes in

               He was definitely sniffing.

               
                             JERRY
               I mean what if, what if, this this guy 
               has got all my money. Plus he has got 
               some Kramer's money with him. This guy 
               can write checks to himself right out 
               of my account.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               I have known this guy since college. 
               He doesn't do drugs.
 
               
                             JERRY
               Then, what was all that sniffing?

               
                             ELAINE
               Maybe it's the cold weather.

               
                             JERRY
               Today is not cold.

               
                             GEORGE
               All right, I've got to get going. My 
               parents are expecting me.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Don't forget to wash your hands before 
               supper.
 
               
               
               
               Costanza's. George, Estelle and Frank are eating dinner. George 
               is pounding a ketchup bottle.
 
               
                             FRANK
               Why do you need all that ketchup for?
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               This is my ketchup. I bought this ketchup 
               just so I could have as much as I want.
 
               
               
                             FRANK
               So, I talked to Phil Casacof today.
 
               
               
                             ESTELLE
               Phil Casacof?

               
                             FRANK
               Yeah, you know my friend, the bra salesman. 
               He says they are looking maybe to put 
               somebody on so I got you an interview 
               next Friday with his boss.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Next Friday, what time?

               
                             FRANK
               2 o'clock.

               
                             GEORGE
               That's my whole afternoon! I was going 
               to look for sneakers.
 
               
                             FRANK
               You can look for sneakers the next day!
 
               
               
                             ESTELLE
               He doesn't know anything about bras.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               I know a little. Besides, what do you 
               have to know?
 
               
                             FRANK
               Well, it wouldn't hurt to go in the 
               and be able to discuss it intelligently. 
               Maybe you should take a look at a few 
               bras? Where is you bra? Give him a bra 
               to look.
 
               
                             ESTELLE
               I am not giving him a bra.

               
                             FRANK
               Why not?

               
                             ESTELLE
               Because I don't need him looking at 
               my bra.
 
               
                             FRANK
               Why, so he'll go to the interview and 
               he wouldn't know what he's talking about!?!
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Do we have to...?

               
                             FRANK
               You don't even know what they're made 
               from.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               They are made from lycra-spandex.

               
                             FRANK
               Get out of here! Lycra-spandex?

               
                             ESTELLE
               I think they are made from lycra-spandex.
 
               
               
                             FRANK
               Wanna bet? How much you wanna bet?
 
               
               
                             ESTELLE
               I'm not betting!

               
                             FRANK
               Take a look.

               
                             ESTELLE
               All right, I'll get a bra.

               
                             FRANK
               I don't know what the big problem is 
               getting a bra?!
 
               
                             GEORGE
               She doesn't want to get a bra.

               
                             FRANK
               I'm not saying go to the library and 
               read the whole history, but it wouldn't 
               kill you to know a little bit about 
               it.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               All right, it wouldn't kill me.

               
                             FRANK
               How long it takes to find a bra? What's 
               going on in there? You ask me to get 
               a pair of underwear, I'm back in two 
               seconds...you know about the cup sizes 
               and all? They have different cups.

               I-I know about the cups.

               You got the A, B, C the D. That's the 
               biggest.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               I know the D is the biggest. I've based 
               my whole life on knowing that the D 
               is the biggest.

               Let me see it.

               Hmm, that's surprising. All right, what 
               else? You got the cups in the front, 
               two loops in the back. All right, a 
               guess that's about it.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               I got it. Cups in the front, loops in 
               the back.

                             KRAMER
               Sniffing, what do you mean sniffing?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Sniffing, with his nose.

               
                             KRAMER
               Jerry, he probably had a cold.

               
                             JERRY
               No, I asked him.

               
                             KRAMER
               So, what are you saying?

               
                             JERRY
               I don't know, you know, what if...?
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               Drugs? You think he's on drugs?

               
                             JERRY
               I don't know. All I know he was sniffing.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               Jerry, listen, we went in on a CD together.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               I know.

               
                             KRAMER
               And Newman gave you money too. I didn't 
               even meet this guy. We trusted you.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Look, it doesn't necessarily mean anything 
               yet, it just means he was sniffing.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               Well, what else? Was he nervous? Did 
               he use a lot of slang? Did he use the 
               word 'man'?
 
               
                             JERRY
               No, he didn't use 'man'.

               
                             KRAMER
               I mean when he was leaving did he say 
               I'm splittin' ?
 
               
                             JERRY
               No, but in one point he did use the 
               bathroom.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Whoh!

               
                             JERRY
               Do you think that's a bad sign?

               
                             KRAMER
               Yes!! Yes, that's what they do! They 
               live in the bathroom! All right, what 
               are we going to do? We are going to 
               get our money back, right?
 
               
                             JERRY
               I don't know. This sweater really itches 
               me. You want it?
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Yeah.

               
               
               
               Elaine's apartment. Jake is there and Elaine comes in.

               
                             ELAINE
               Hello.... hello, oh...

               
                             JAKE
               Well, you notice anything?

               
                             ELAINE
               You have cleaned out the whole apartment 
               and you're making dinner. Oh, you are 
               a perfect, you are a perfect man.
 
               
               
               Jake feels Elaine's coat material.

               
                             JAKE
               Ooh...

               
                             ELAINE
               Did anyone call?

               
                             JAKE
               I got a few messages, I wrote them down.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Where are they?

               
                             JAKE
               Lets see, they are...here they are.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Thank you. Heh, I'll call you back.Ooh, 
               Myra had the baby! Oh, my God that's 
               wonderful! Who called?
 
               
                             JAKE
               She did.

               
                             ELAINE
               She did? Oh, that's so great!

               
                             JAKE
               Where do you keep the corkscrew?

               
                             ELAINE
               In the drawer on the right. Hmm...
 
               
               
                             JAKE
               What?

               
                             ELAINE
               Oh it's nothing.

               
                             JAKE
               What is it?

               
                             ELAINE
               It's nothing.

               
                             JAKE
               Tell me.

               
                             ELAINE
               Well, I was just curious why you didn't 
               use an exclamation point?
 
               
                             JAKE
               What are you talking about?

               
                             ELAINE
               See, right here you wrote "Myra had 
               the baby", but you didn't use an exclamation 
               point.
 
               
                             JAKE
               So?

               
                             ELAINE
               So, it's nothing. Forget it, forget 
               it, I just find it curious.
 
               
                             JAKE
               What's so curious about it?

               
                             ELAINE
               Well, I mean if one of your close friends 
               had a baby and I left you a message 
               about it, I would use an exclamation 
               point.
 
               
                             JAKE
               Well, maybe I don't use my exclamation 
               points as haphazardly as you do.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               You don't think that someone having 
               a baby warrants an exclamation point.
 
               
               
                             JAKE
               Hey, I just chalked down the message. 
               I didn't know I was required to capture 
               the mood of each caller.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               I just thought you would be a little 
               more excited about a friend of mine 
               having a baby.
 
               
                             JAKE
               Ok, I'm excited. I just don't happen 
               to like exclamation points.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Well, you know Jake, you should learn 
               to use them. Like the way I'm talking 
               right now, I would put an exclamation 
               points at the end of all these sentences! 
               On this one! And on that one!
 
               
                             JAKE
               Well, you can put one on this one: I'm 
               leaving!

               You're out of your mind you know that.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               What?

               
                             JERRY
               It's an exclamation point! It's a line 
               with a dot under it.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Well, I felt a call for one.

               
                             JERRY
               A call for one, you know I thought I've 
               heard everything. I've never heard a 
               relationship being affected by a punctuation.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               I found it very troubling that he didn't 
               use one.
 
               
                             JERRY
               George was right. Didn't take you long.

                             ELAINE
               He's not on drugs.

               
                             KRAMER
               Then why the sniffing? Who walks around 
               sniff, sniff sniffing?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               All right, here, you call him right 
               now. See if he's sniffing right now.

               So, because of a few bad apples you're 
               gonna impugn an entire continent?
 
               
               
                             JERRY

               to South America!
 
               
                             NEWMAN
               South America?! What kind of snow blower 
               did you get us mixed up with?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Ok, gentlemen. The fact remains you 
               still have no proof. This is all speculation 
               and hearsay.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Wait, there is one way to find out. 
               We set up a sting. You know like Abscam. 
               Like Abscam Jerry.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               What are you gonna do? You gonna put 
               on a phony beard and dress-up like Arab 
               sheiks and sit around in some hotel 
               room. I mean come on...
 
               
                             JERRY
               Wait a second. Maybe there is someway 
               we can tempt him and find out...
 
               
                             NEWMAN
               If we put our three heads together we 
               should come up with something.

                             KRAMER
               All right, I'm going in.

               No, you stay here in the car. I may 
               need you.
 
               
                             NEWMAN
               What you need me in the car for?

               
                             JERRY
               I might need you to get me a soda.
 
               
               
               
               
               In the bar. Barry is drinking by the counter. Kramer enters.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER

                             KRAMER
               Oh, there's nothing like a cold one 
               after a long day, eh?
 
               
                             BARRY
               Yeah.

               
                             KRAMER
               Oh yeah, I've been known to drink a 
               beer or two. But then again, I've been 
               known to do a lot of things.
 
               
               Waiter opens the counter which hits Kramer on the head

               
                             KRAMER
               Cigarette?

               
                             BARRY
               No, I never touch them.

               
                             KRAMER
               I suck'em down like Coca-Cola. Well 
               here's to feeling good all the time.
 
               
               
               Kramer drinks the beer and smokes the cigarette at the same time
 
               
               
               Barry sniffs

               
                             KRAMER
               Looks like you've got yourself a little 
               cold there, eh?
 
               
                             BARRY
               I don't think so.

               
                             KRAMER
               Me neither.

               
               Kramer puts the cigarette wrong way to his mouth

               
               
               
               Back in the car with Jerry and Newman.

               
                             JERRY
               You should try this new dental floss 
               Glide, it's fantastic.
 
               
                             NEWMAN
               I use dental tape.

               
                             JERRY
               You should try this.

               
                             NEWMAN
               I don't wanna.

                             JERRY
               You're an idiot.

               
                             NEWMAN
               Why, because I use dental tape?

               
                             JERRY
               Right, anyone who uses dental tape is 
               an idiot.
 
               
               
               
               Back in the bar.

               
                             KRAMER

                             BARRY
               They are expanding their economic base.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               Tell me about it.

               
                             BARRY
               Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               I'm hip.

                             KRAMER
               To the whole scene. sniff

               
                             BARRY
               What scene?

               
                             KRAMER
               The bathroom scene. sniff, sniff

               
                             BARRY
               Listen, don't take this personally, 
               but when I'm coming back I'm sitting 
               over there.
 
               
               
               
               Back in the car. Newman takes a dental floss out of his mouth.
 
               
               
                             NEWMAN
               No, no I don't like it.

               
                             JERRY
               What do you mean you don't like it? 
               How could you not like it?
 
               
                             NEWMAN
               I like the thick tape.

               
               Newman puts dental floss on the dashboard. Jerry looks disgusted.
 
               
               
               
               
               The bar. Kramer enters the bathroom, kicks the door open and 
               takes a photograph.
 
               
                             BARRY
               Heeyy!! What kind of a nut are you?
 
               
               
               
               
               George's job interview.

               
                             FARKUS
               So, basically the job here is quite 
               simple. Selling bras.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Well, that interests me very much Mr. 
               Farkus.Very much indeed, sir.
 
               
                             FARKUS
               Have you ever sold a woman's line before?
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               No, but I have very good repute with 
               women, very good, top form. And the 
               first time I laid my I on brassieres 
               I was enthralled.
 
               
                             FARKUS
               Hum. tell me about it.

               
                             GEORGE
               Well, I was 14 years old. I was in my 
               friends bathroom. His mother's brassieres 
               were hanging on the shower rod. I picked 
               it up, studied it. I thought, I like 
               this. I didn't know what way or what 
               level, but I knew: I wanted to be around 
               brassieres.
 
               
                             FARKUS
               That's incredible story. You have a

               They are more than an underwear to me 
               Mr.Farkus. Two cups in the front, two 
               loops in the back. How do they do it?
 
               
               
                             FARKUS
               Well, I think I can say, barring some 
               unforeseen incident, that you'll have 
               a very bright future here at ED Granmont.

               Thank you Mr.Farkus, thank you very 
               much indeed.

                             GEORGE
               If you don't mind, sir. I'll be here 
               at 8.
 
               
                             FARKUS
               Excellent.

               So long, Mr. Farkus.

               
               George leaves the office and goes to the elevator. A women there 
               is waiting for the elevator. George felts her blouse material.

               Pendant publishing. Elaine is at Lippman's office.

               
                             ELAINE
               You wanted to see me, Mr. Lippman?
 
               
               
                             LIPPMAN
               I was just going over the Jake Jarmel 
               book and I understand you worked with 
               him very closely.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Yes, krhm, yes I did.

               
                             LIPPMAN
               And, anyway I was just reading your 
               final edit, um, there seems to be an 
               inordinate number of exclamation points.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Well, I felt that the writing lacked 
               certain emotion and intensity.
 
               
                             LIPPMAN
               Oh, "It was damp and chilly afternoon, 
               so I decided to put on my sweatshirt!"
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Right, well...

               
                             LIPPMAN
               You put exclamation point after sweatshirt?
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               That's that's correct, I-I felt that 
               the character doesn't like to be ch-ch-chilly...
 
               
               
                             LIPPMAN
               I see, "I pulled the lever on the machine, 
               but the Clark bar didn't come out!" 
               Exclamation point?
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Well, yeah, you know how frustrating 
               that can be when you keep putting quarters 
               and quarters in to machine and then 
               prrt nothing comes out...
 
               
                             LIPPMAN
               Get rid of the exclamation points...
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Ok, ok ok ...

               
                             LIPPMAN
               I hate exclamation points...

               
                             ELAINE
               ...ok I'll just....

               Yeah.

               
               Ralph sniffs and rubs his eyes.

                             KRAMER
               It's a sweater.

               
                             RALPH
               What's it made out of?

               I don't know, Jerry gave it to me.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Mohair, I think.

               
                             RALPH
               Mohair, that figures, I'm allergic to 
               mohair.
 
               
                             JERRY
               You mean you just started sniffing?
 
               
               
                             RALPH
               Yeah, mohair does it to me every time.

               I was wearing that sweater in the coffee 
               shop when Barry came in.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               Jerry, I was wearing it in the bar.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               The sweater! The sweater made him sniff! 
               I told you he wasn't a drug addict.
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Oh no! The letter, Newman, it's got 
               exclamation points all over it!

                             JERRY
               The what??

               
               
               
               Newman is taking the letter to the mailbox. There's a woman at 
               same time at the letterbox.
 
               
                             NEWMAN
               After you.

               
                             WOMAN
               Thank you.

               
               Newman feels the woman's coat material.

               
                             WOMAN
               Get your hands off of me! Johnny!!!

               him prior to his filing chapter eleven, 
               I've could've got the money back. Which 
               I
 
               
               would've done, if for certain imbecile had been able to get to 
               a mailbox and mail a letter!!
