KEITH: I wouldn't have brought it up but since you mentioned it.
ELAINE: Ha, I didn't mention it.
KEITH: Well I won them anyway.
ELAINE: Well so what. I mean you played first base. I mean they
always put the worst
player on first base. That's were they put me and I stunk.
KEITH: Elaine. you don't know the first thing about first base.
ELAINE: ha ha well I know something about getting to first base.
And I know you'll
never be there.
KEITH: The way I figure it I've already been there and I plan on
rounding second
tonight at around eleven o'clock.
ELAINE: Well, uh, I'd watch the third base coach if I were you 'cause
I don't think he's
waving you in. You know I hate to say this but I think we're really
hitting it off. Get

ELAINE: Uh,
[Monks]
JERRY: She likes him I mean she really likes him.
GEORGE: How do you kn ow?
JERRY: Who wouldn't like him? I like him. And I'm a guy.
GEORGE: I suppose he's an attractive man, I ,
JERRY: Forget that. He's a ball player. MVP< 1979. I'm making
wise cracks in some
night club. This guy was in game six. They're a perfect match. They
like go
together. They're like one of these brother and sister couples that
look alike.
GEORGE: Hate those couples. I could never bee one of those couples.
There are no bald
woman around. You know?
JERRY: You know I know this sounds a little arrogant but I never
thought she would find
anyone she would like better than me. Ya know, I guess I had my
chance and that's
that.
GEORGE: You know what I would like to do? I would really like to
have sex with a tall
woman. I mean really tall. Like a like a giant Like six five.
JERRY: Really?
GEORGE: What was the tallest woman you ever slept with?
JERRY: I don't know
six three.
GEORGE: Wow,
god! You see this is all I think about. Sleeping
with a giant. It's my
life's ambition.
JERRY: So I guess it's fair to say you've set different goals for
yourself than say, Thomas
Edison, Magellan, these types of people.
GEORGE: Magellan? You like Magellan?
JERRY: Oh, yeah,. My favourite explorer. Around the world. Come
on.
GEORGE: Who do you like?
GEORGE: I like DeSoto.
JERRY: DeSoto? What did he do?
GEORGE: Discovered the Mississippi.
JERRY: Oh. like they wouldn't have found that anyway.
GEORGE: All right, I've got to go down to the unemployment office.
Wanna take a
walk?
JERRY: No I can't I've got some stuff to do then I've got to meet
Keith at my apartment
at three. I'm helping him move.
GEORGE: What? The guy asked you to HELP HIM MOVE? Wow.
JERRY: I know isn't that something?
KRAMER: He's got money. Why doesn't he just pay a mover?
JERRY: I don't know
he's got some valuable antiques, He's
worried they'll break
something.
GEORGE: The next thing you know, he'll have you driving him to the
airport..
JERRY: I'M NOT DRIVING HIM TO THE AIRPORT!!
[New York State Department of lab or]
GEORGE: I gave. I gave everything I could Mrs. Sokol. but nothing
was good enough
for her.
MRS. SOKOL: Sign here please.
GEORGE: Ha, I don't know who she's looking for. I don't know. I'll
tell you something.
She's very particular, your daughter. Very particular. What is she
looking for some
big hot shot businessman? Well I've got my pride too. I'm not going
to beg her.
MRS. SOKOL: All right just sign it. People are waiting.
GEORGE: You, uh, you like baseball? [picks up baseball from desk]
MRS. SOKOL: That was autographed by the '86 Mets. I saw every inning
that year.
GEORGE: Funny, cause I happen to be very good friends with Keith
Hernandez.
MRS. SOKOL: You know Keith Hernandez.
GEORGE: Know him? Would you, uh, like to meet him?
MRS. SOKOL: Oh, come on. Come on.
GEORGE: I can produce Keith Hernandez right here within the hour.
MRS. SOKOL: All right. You got ONE hour.
GEORGE: All right Mrs. S. I and my good pal Keith Hernandez will
be right back.
[exits]
[Same phone booth]
[George sees large construction worker in booth and leaves. he hops
into a cab]
GEORGE: 129 west 81st street and hurry.
[same cabby stares at him]
GEORGE: Goodbye [exits cab]
[Jerry's Apartment]
KEITH: Better bring your gloves, it's freezing out there. It shouldn't
take too long. I'd
say maybe, oh, four hours. Really though, Jerry, there's not that
much. First we got
the bedroom, we got two dressers and the bed.
JERRY: Is there a box spring?
KEITH: What's that?
JERRY: Is there a box spring?
KEITH: Yeah there's a box spring but it's attached to the headboard
and we'll have to take
that apart. Then we got the couch.
JERRY: Is that a sectional?
KEITH: Yeah. Twelve pieces. <not clear>
coffee table.
JERRY: Is that a thick marble?
[
Jerry and Keith start to laugh and Jerry walks behind Keith
so they don't make eye
contact and break up]
KEITH: Three inches thick. Got it in Italy. But the BIG problem
is going to be the
convertible sofa. You see when you move it it tends to open up so
it's going to be
real difficult getting it down the stairs.
JERRY: STAIRS??? There's no elevator?
KEITH: Nah, it's a brownstone. Three floors.
JERRY: I'm sorry I can't do this. I can't do it. I can't. It, it's
too soon. I don't know you. I
can't help you move. I'm sorry. I can't. I just can't.
[Kramer enters, sees Keith and does a double take]
KRAMER: Hello.
KEITH: Hello.
KRAMER: Oh, you don't remember me.
KEITH: No should I [continuity error: in fact he SHOULD from the
basketball game]
KRAMER: Yeah, you should. I certainly remember you. Let me refresh
your memory.
[Newman enters]
NEWMAN: June 14th, 1987. Mets Phillies. You made a big error. Cost
the Mets the
game. Then you're coming up the parking lot ramp.
KEITH: YOU said, "Nice game, pretty boy."
KRAMER: Ah, you remember.
NEWMAN: And then you spit on us.
KEITH: Hey, I didn't spit at you.
NEWMAN: Oh, yeah, right.
KRAMER: No no no, well, then who was it?
KEITH: Well lookit, the way I remember it [back to the grainy 8mm
film parody] I was
walking up the ramp. I was upset about the game. That's when you
called me pretty
boy. It ticked me off. I started to turn around to say something
and as I turned
around I saw Roger McDowell behind the bushes over by that gravely
road.
Anyway he was talking to someone and they were talking to you. I
tried to scream
out but it was too late. It was already on its way.
JERRY: I told you!
NEWMAN: Wow, it was McDowell.
JERRY: But why? Why McDowell?
KRAMER: Well, maybe because we were sitting in the right field stands
cursing at him
in the bullpen all game.
NEWMAN: He must have caught a glimpse of us when I poured that beer
on his head.
NEWMAN: It was McDowell.
KRAMER: Oh boy. Uh, look uh, Keith, uh, we're sorry.
NEWMAN: Yeah, I couldn't be sorrier. I uh.
KEITH: look guys, don't worry about it, I uh, Well I guess I better
get going.
KRAMER: Wait, uh what are ya' doing?
KEITH: I gotta move.
KRAMER: Want any help?
KEITH: I'd love some.
KRAMER: I'd love to help you move.
NEWMAN: Me too.
KEITH: Ok guys, we gotta be careful of one thing. Some of the stuff's
very fragile
We're going to have to handle it like a baby.
KRAMER: No sweat.
[they exit]
[phone rings]
JERRY: Hello,

with him?

[George frantically enters]
GEORGE: Keith, Keith Wa What happened? Where's Keith?
JERRY: You just missed him. he just left. What do you need him for?
GEORGE: [out the window] Keith, Keith, up here. Can you do me a
favor? I need you
to go to the unemployment office with me. I, I'm Jerry's friend
the guy from the
locker room,
I'm the chucker. It'll take five minutes. Wait.
Wait.
[sits down]
JERRY: Well Biff/ What's next?
GEORGE: I don't know.
[Tall girl enters]
TALL GIRL: Excuse me. I was walking behind you and you dropped your
wallet.
The End
Jerry Stand up
===========
When You're moving your whole world becomes boxes. That's all you
think about is
boxes. Boxes, where are there boxes? You just wander down the street
going in and out
of stores. Are there boxes here? Have you seen any boxes? I mean
it's all you think
about. You can't even talk to people because you can't concentrate.
Shut up I'm looking
for boxes. Just after a while you become like really into it you
can smell them. You walk
into a store. There's boxes here. Don't tell me you don't have boxes.
Dammit, I can
SMELL them. I'm like I'm obsessed. I love the smell of cardboard
in the morning. You
could be at a funeral. Everyone's mourning crying around, and your
looking at the
casket. That's a nice box Does anyone know where that guy got that
box? When he's
done with it do you think I could get that? it's got some nice handles
on it. And that's
what death is really. It's the last big move of your life. The hearse
is like the van. The
pale bearers are your close friends the only ones you could ask
to help you with a big
move like that. and the casket is that great perfect box you've
been waiting for your
whole life The only problem is, once you find it you're in it.
