                          THE INVITATIONS

               (Comedy club)

               
                             JERRY
               I think that if the wedding invitations 
               were left up to the men, we'd just drive 
               around sticking flyers in windshields 
               ...y' know... Not even typed up either, 
               just Magic Marker, Zerox, you know...Party!!.. 
               What's needed is a divorce announcement; 
               Mr and Mrs Fred Johnson are requesting 
               the honour of your presence at the "returning" 
               of their daughter back to Mr,and Mrs 
               Fred Johnson.
 
               
               
               (Outside Melody Stationeries)

               
               Susan and George walk into the store and go up the sales clerk.
 
               
               
                             SUSAN
               Hi.

               
                             CLERK
               Hi.. May I help you?

               
                             SUSAN
               Yes, we'd like some wedding invitations.
 
               
               
                             CLERK
               Ohh! Well...Congratulations

               
                             SUSAN
               (happily) Thank you.

               
                             GEORGE
               (mildly embarrassed) yeah.. Thank you.
 
               
               
                             CLERK
               When 's the wedding?

               
                             SUSAN
               June

               
                             GEORGE
               late June.

               
                             CLERK
               Oh! Well, we have quite a few to pick 
               from ( turns around and picks up a huge 
               binder)
 
               
               They're arranged in order of price , the most expensive are in 
               the front.
 
               
               George takes the binder and feigns browsing and flips right to 
               the last page.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               He..hmmm. humm...What about this one.
 
               
               
                             CLERK
               Hmmm,..to tell you the truth they haven't 
               manufactured that one for a number of 
               years.
 
               
               I might have couple of boxes left in our warehouse in New Jersey. 
               I'd have to check.
 
               
                             SUSAN
               Oh! no. George that's so ugly we don't 
               want that.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               What's the difference you just read 
               it and mail it right back. These we'll 
               do.
 
               
                             SUSAN
               Why don't they make'em anymore?

               
                             CLERK
               Well.. For one thing the glue isn't 
               very adhesive. It takes a lot of moisture 
               to make them stick.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               So we pick up some Elmers

               
                             SUSAN
               (disappointed)All right. You see what 
               I do for you.
 
               
               Scene cuts to the street as Susan and George are about to get 
               into a cab. Kramer happens to walk by.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Hey! Kramer.

               
                             KRAMER
               Hey! George.....Lily..

               
                             SUSAN
               No. Susan.

               
                             KRAMER
               No. No It's Lily

               
                             SUSAN
               I think I know my own name.

               
                             GEORGE
               It's Susan

               
                             KRAMER
               (lost for words) Well you look like 
               a Lily...
 
               
               
               
               Scene cuts to Jerry's apt. George walks in . Jerry is coming 
               out of his bedroom twiddling scissors.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               It's coming Jerry, it's coming.

               
                             JERRY
               What's coming?

               
                             GEORGE

                             JERRY

               her. tell her it's over
 
               
                             GEORGE

               Why not?

               
               George; 'Cause I can't face that scene. You know what kind of 
               scene that would be? i'd rather be unhappy
 
               
               for the rest of my life than go through something like that. 
               (forceful) I CAN'T, I CAN'T.
 
               
               I tried to psyche myself up a million times I cannot go through 
               that.
 
               
                             JERRY
               All right take it easy, just take it 
               easy.
 
               
                             GEORGE

               go to China. I disappear in a sea of 
               people for like

               wardrobe now!!!
 
               
               Jerry; Look, freedom with no clothes is a lot better than no 
               freedom with clothes.
 
               
                             GEORGE

               Yeah. Well once he gets married that's 
               it, she'll probably get pregnant, they'll 
               move to Westchester.
 
               
               I'll never see him again.

               
                             ELAINE
               Yeah! You're probably right.

               
                             JERRY
               Then it'll just be me, you and Kramer.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               No! Not me pal. I can't keep this up 
               much longer. I'm sick of being single.
 
               
               
               I'm getting out.

               
                             JERRY
               So it's just gonna be me and Kramer.
 
               
               
                             ELAINE
               Yep! just you and Kramer.

               
               Elaine walks away

               
                             JERRY
               See you ... me and Kramer...

               
               Daydreaming sequence set in Jerry's apt. in a probable future. 
               Kramer pops in. They look a
 
               
               little older.

               
                             KRAMER
               Hey!! Buddy. I thought of a great invention 
               for driving. A periscope in a car, so 
               you can see
 
               
               the traffic.

               
                             JERRY
               (annoyed) How you gonna drive when looking 
               through a periscope? Besides it's not 
               a submarine
 
               
               and there's no room for a periscope in a car.

               
                             KRAMER
               Huh! You make a higher roof.

               
                             JERRY
               They're not making higher roofs.

               
                             KRAMER
               why can't you make a higher roof.

               
                             JERRY
               Because it's a stupid idea. No one's 
               gonna go for it. Don't you understand 
               It's stupid ,stupid...
 
               
               As Jerry slowly comes out of his doze he is about to cross the 
               street as a car comes to him at high speed.
 
               
                             JERRY
               .....Stupid , stupid.

               
                             JEANNIE
               Hey! Hey! Look out. (she pulls him back 
               saving his life.) OK!, Are you okay?
 
               
               
                             JERRY
               Yeah!.. Thanks.Oh! my god you saved 
               my life.
 
               
                             JEANNIE
               Shouldn't there be some kind of reward 
               for that.
 
               
                             JERRY
               oh! thank you.

               
                             JEANNIE
               You know you should be a lot more careful 
               crossing the street like that, otherwise 
               you could die..
 
               
               If that bothers you.

               
                             JERRY
               Well I...

               
                             JEANNIE
               You see..(points to his collar) To me 
               this is a waste.
 
               
                             JERRY
               What?

               
                             JEANNIE
               The shirt you got on under your sweather.It 
               sits for three weeks in your drawer, 
               waiting to come
 
               
               out. and when it finally does . It sticks up only half an inch 
               out of your collar.
 
               
                             JERRY
               I'm Jerry Seinfeld.

               
                             JEANNIE
               Jeannie Steinman.

               
                             JERRY
               Hey! Same initials . How do you like 
               that?
 
               
                             JEANNIE
               I like it.

               
               
               
               George and Susan at their apt.

               
                             GEORGE
               Listen I was talking to Elaine today 
               and she said she'd would really like 
               to be an usher at the
 
               
               wedding

               
                             SUSAN
               No. Out of the question. I don't want 
               any women ushers at my wedding and while 
               we're on the
 
               
               subject, Kramer is not an usher either.

               
               George; Why not?

               
                             SUSAN
               He doesn't even know my name.

               
                             GEORGE
               That was an honest mistake.

               
                             SUSAN
               Nah! He's too weird he'd fall or something. 
               He'd ruin the whole ceremony.
 
               
               George takes out a pack of cigarettes and pulls one out.

               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah! You're right.. You're probably 
               right.
 
               
                             SUSAN
               Whadda doing?

               
                             GEORGE
               (shrugs and lights it up)

               
                             SUSAN
               Since when do you smoke?

               
                             GEORGE
               (coughs) I've always smoked.

               
                             SUSAN
               I've never seen you smoke.

               
                             GEORGE
               Oh yeeah.. well , Big smoker... I (coughs 
               some more) gave it up for a while but 
               it was too tough.
 
               
               Y' know.....I got no will power.

               
                             SUSAN
               I don't like this one bit.

               
                             GEORGE
               Well(coughs) I can't stop now...(coughs) 
               I'm addicted...(words missing)
 
               
                             SUSAN
               Well you are gonna have to quit.

               
               George sprints to the bathroom

               
                             GEORGE
               Oh my god....

                             KRAMER
               Hey! Did you hear the bank on the corner 
               is offering a 100 dollars if you go 
               in there and they
 
               
               don't greet you with a hello?

               
                             JERRY
               Uh! Really .That's nice.

               
                             KRAMER
               Now what's with you?

               
                             JERRY
               I think I'm in love.

               
                             KRAMER
               Oh. Come on.

               
                             JERRY
               No it's true. This woman saved my life. 
               I was crossing the street .I was almost 
               hit by a car...and then
 
               
               we talked and.......the whole thing just seemed like a dream.
 
               
               
                             KRAMER
               If a guy saved your life you'd be in 
               love with him too.
 
               
                             JERRY
               No, no this woman is different , she's 
               incredible. she's just like me. She 
               talks like me, she acts like me.
 
               
               She even ordered cereal at a restaurant. We even have the same 
               initials. Wait a minute, I just realised
 
               
               what's going on.

               
                             KRAMER
               What?

               
                             JERRY
               Now I know what I've been looking for 
               all these years......myself! (Kramer 
               is speechless)
 
               
               I've been waiting for me to come along and now I 've swept myself 
               off my feet.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               You stop it man.. you're FREAKING ME 
               OUT!!!
 
               
               At the HOME FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK Kramer walks up to a teller.

               transact.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               No, I want to speak to the manager.

               Then I'll be back.

               
               In Jerry's hallway

               
                             ELAINE
               So I'm not gonna be an usher?

               
                             GEORGE
               No..

               So I'm nothing. Jerry is best man , 
               Kramer is an usher and I am nothing.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Well Kramer's not an usher anymore.
 
               
               
               Kramer; What are you talking about?

               
                             GEORGE
               You've been demoted.

               
               Kramer; Why?

               
                             GEORGE
               Because you called her by the wrong 
               name.
 
               
                             KRAMER
               But she really looks like a Lily

               bring a date to the wedding

               Who!!?

               
                             JERRY

                             ELAINE

               gonna be stuck at the singles table 
               with all the losers.
 
               
                             JERRY
               You can go with Kramer

               
                             KRAMER
               No , no no no no. Weddings are a great 
               place to meet chicks. I have to be unfettered.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Do you see what this is turning in to? 
               Do I need this. I have to get out of 
               this thing.
 
               
                             ELAINE
               Did you try the cigarettes?

               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah.. They made me sick.

               
                             KRAMER
               All right, All right. Lets get down 
               here. You really want to get out of 
               this thing ?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah...

               
                             KRAMER
               All right. I got two words for you; 
               Pre-Nup.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               What does that mean?

               
                             KRAMER
               Ask her to sign a pre-nup.

               
                             GEORGE
               What does that do?

               
                             KRAMER
               Because most women when they're asked 
               to sign a pre-nup are so offended they 
               back out of the marriage.
 
               
                             GEORGE
               They are?... Elaine?

               
                             ELAINE
               I wouldn't sign one.

               
                             GEORGE
               Pre-nup of course ..Kramer....

               
                             KRAMER
               Get out of here.

               
               George and Susan at their apt.

               Yeah. Got to invite The Drake. Listen 
               hem...there's something that's been

                             SUSAN
               What is it?

               
                             GEORGE
               Well I I ..put a lot of thought into 
               this and I think I would like you to 
               sign a prenuptual agreement.
 
               
                             SUSAN
               A pre-nup?

               
                             GEORGE
               Yeah.

               
                             SUSAN

               What's so funny?

               Scene cuts to the Improv as Jerry walks into the club and sees 
               Jeannie sitting at a table
 
               
                             JERRY

               Susan licks her last envelope and collapses. George is walking 
               down a street looking depressed.

                             JERRY
               All of a sudden it hit me, I realized 
               what the problem is; I can't be with 
               someone like me..
 
               
               I hate myself!! If anything I need to get the exact opposite 
               of me....It's too much. .It's too Much
 
               
               I can't take it ...I can't take it!!!

               
                             KRAMER

               Excuse me , Are you the husband?

               
                             GEORGE
               Well , not yet.. Fiancé.

               
                             DOCTOR
               Well , I'm sorry.....She's gone.

               
                             GEORGE
               .........What's that?...

               
                             DOCTOR
               She expired.

               
                             GEORGE
               ...Are you sure?

               
                             DOCTOR
               Yes , of course.

               
                             GEORGE
               So.....She's dead?

               
                             DOCTOR
               Yes

               
                             GEORGE
               ...Huh!

               
                             DOCTOR
               Let me ask you ; Had she been exposed 
               to any kind of inexpensive glue?
 
               
                             GEORGE
               ...Why?

               
                             DOCTOR
               We found traces of a certain toxic adhesive 
               commonly found in very low priced envelopes.
 
               
               
                             GEORGE
               Well she was sending out our wedding 
               invitations.
 
               
                             DOCTOR
               That's probably what did it.

               
                             GEORGE
               We were expecting about two hundred 
               people...Well...Thank you , thank you.
 
               
               
               Doctor leaves , George returns to the others

               
                             GEORGE
               She's ahem....gone

               
                             JERRY
               Dead?

               
                             ELAINE

                             GEORGE
               Apparently the glue in the wedding invitations 
               was a....toxic.
 
               
                             ALL

               jubilation) Yes.
