THE SCENE OPENS WITH GEORGE DROPPING OFF HIS DATE FOR THE NIGHT. SHE OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD A WONDERFUL EVENING
WE CUT TO MONK'S WHERE GEORGE, JERRY & ELAINE ARE DINING (IT BEING A DINER, AND ALL). JERRY IS OVER MAKING A PHONE CALL WHILE GEORGE & ELAINE TALK AT THE TABLE.
Cut to Jerry who is over at the phone trying to get Sharon Leanord at NYU. Elaine and George exchange thoughts on what they got Jerry for his birthday.
Jerry returns to the booth and explains the phone call.
The camera pans out some so that we can see the three at their table and a girl sitting with her back to George at the next table. She starts to become interested in what the people behind her are talking about as Elaine pops the following philosophical dilemma to her companions
Elaine notices the woman sitting behind George is eavesdropping on their conversation and discreetly alerts J+G. She decides to add some spice to the conversation. The makes sure to say it loud enough so that the spy at the next table is sure to hear...
Jerry rolls his eyes and turns away in disbelief while George on the other hand addresses Jerry directly
Meanwhile over at the phone booth, the eavesdropper reveals that she is one Sharon Leonard and she's calling the newspaper that she got to the diner late and missed out on meeting up with Jerry. As she's hanging up, George and Jerry make a trip to the bathroom (have two guys ever actually gone to the bathroom together? Hmmmm...
Jerry's unpacking groceries (no cereal to be seen) and George comes in.
Sharon buzzes and comes up to Jerry's apartment. George decides to stay. There's a knock at the door and when Jerry answers it, the two decide if they've ever met before. It's pretty obvious Sharon remembers Jerry and George as that "funny" couple from Monk's. Jerry hasn't placed her face, however. Sharon is introduced to George and
Again, Jerry seems confused as to what Sharon is saying. Something's not quite right... But, before another question can be asked, again George has a question-- this time for Sharon
George takes a hold of Jerry's leg to stress the point and Sharon, who obviously thinks she has a real story here now, asks another question:
Jerry is about *this* close (picture my thumb and forefinger *really* close together) to figuring out what is going on here, when the "question fatale" is asked:
All three rise from the couch and a rather excited J+G try to explain things to a very confused reporter.
Not that that approach was going to work, or anything, but what minute chance they had of convincing her is blown away as the door bursts open and:
WE FAST FORWARD A COUPLE OF HOURS AND JERRY AND ELAINE ARE TALKING IN THE APARTMENT. ELAINE OFFERS TO TALK TO HER AND JERRY REVEALS THAT HE HAS CONVINCED HER TO "THINK ABOUT IT" BEFORE SHE PRINTS ANYTHING IN THE NYU PAPER. AND, FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, ELAINE REFUSES TO TAKE HER JACKET OFF. KRAMER ENTERS, GRACEFUL AS ALWAYS.
Kramer convinces Jerry it's his birthday and, after Elaine refuses to take her jacket off again, Kramer presents the big guy with his present.
Elaine can be seen mouthing the word "sh*t" and is, for some reason, not impressed with the gift. She picks up her purse to leave.
Kramer goes to his apartment and Jerry calls him to try out the phone. And, as luck would have it, a call comes in on the other line.
Kramer Enters
It's at this point that Kramer, well, "Pulls a Kramer". He does that mini-epileptic, losing his balance, "waaaaugh" thing and he retreats to his apartment, probably to confront his own sexuality. In Jerry's apartment, the phone rings, George answers.
BACK AT MR. AND MRS. SEINFELD'S PLACE, THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES.
BACK AT THE METROPOLITAN HOSPITAL CENTER, GEORGE PAYS HIS MOTHER A VISIT. SHE SEEMS TO BE IN THE SAME BED FROM EPISODE ... (YES, THAT INCLUDES THE THIN SHEET COVERING THAT ALLOWED FOR THAT INFAMOUS SILHOUETTE
In comes a hulking male nurse. He parts the screen and announces
Ack! It's deja vu all over again! Except instead of a couple of women behind the screen (as in the "M" episode), there are two guys. George is transfixed. Mrs. C. has to scream to get his attention off of the "show" going on beside him.
AT MONK'S, E+G+J CONVERGE YET AGAIN. JERRY INFORMS G+E THAT SHARON HAS LEFT A MESSAGE ON HIS MACHINE. GEORGE HAS OTHER THINGS ON HIS MIND.
Before Jerry can utter his response, a military guy approaches the table.
And, just as quickly as he appeared, he leaves before Jerry can respond (Colonel Flagg, anyone?) He does have an answer to George's previous question, though.
George throws a "hissy fit" and it told to pipe down by a rather bulky manager from the diner and resolves to take Elaine instead. Elaine then queries George if Allison has seen the article yet.
SO, WE FLASH FORWARD TO GEORGE DROPPING OFF ALLISON. SHE IS MULLING OVER THE ARTICLE THAT GEORGE HAS GIVEN HER.
BACK AT JERRY'S APARTMENT, SHARON AND JERRY ARE, WELL, "MAKING OUT ON THE COUCH". APPARENTLY, SHE'S ALL TURNED AROUND ON THE SUBJECT.
George Enters
George has emphasized his point by reaching up and putting his hand in J's hair. Jerry flips out at this point. His arms are flailing about and he's well, gone loopy. George embraces Jerry to keep it going, but Jerry's not buying any of it. Sharon leaves, much to Jerry's chagrin. Allison asks (again) for an explanation.
Allison takes George's arm (not quite the reaction he wanted, I'm sure). Kramer walks by the open door to go to his apartment. He is escorted by what appears to be a virile young man. Kramer addresses G+J (and Allison) before he goes into his apartment.
George & Jerry look disbelievingly at each other, obviously at a loss for words over Kramer's new, interest. Kramer notices this and
George + Jerry see the light and are visibly relieved
