At Monk's.
Jerry: You had sex with the cleaning woman on your desk? Who are you, how did you do that?
George: Hennigans. I was there sitting in the office and the cleaning woman comes in. I've always been attracted to cleaning women. Cleaning women, chambermaids.
Jerry: Yeah chambermaids, I'm attracted to them too.
George: Why is that?
Jerry: It's a woman in your room. So go ahead.
George: So she starts vaccuming, back and forth, back and forth, her hips swivelling, her breasts, uh... (trying to think of a word)
Jerry: Convulsing?
George: Convulsing?
Jerry: I don't know, I'm trying to help you.
George: Then I asked her if she wanted a drink.
Jerry: You don't drink.
George: I know but I couldn't think of anything else to say to her.
Jerry: So you started drinking.
George: So we started drinking, and I'll tell you I don't know if it was the alcohol or the ammonia, but the next think I knew she was mopping the floor with me.
Jerry: So how was it?
George: Well the sex was okay, but I threw up from the Hennigans.
Jerry: Good thing the cleaning lady was there.

Sparkle
15-05-2009
Im gatherin up
My friends today
And those who
Recognize the face
As the vision that changed my mind
From hate to faith
Was as simple as grapes to
Wine and sweet as
Im gathering up my friends today
All these hookers and soldiers and swine
And would-be saints
All alone in their rooms that sparkle in their eye
Play a song that theyll come outside
To see if
Love will overcome
If this love will make us men
Love will draw us in
To wipe our tears away
The day that I was so sweetly sung
By the wind and the thunder moved by someone
The feelin of being lived was so strong
The giver became the gift, all one
The day that I was so sweetly sung
The way seemed to whisper softly, oh son,
Dont wait for the seas to part, or messiahs to come
Dont sit around and waste this chance to see it!
Love will overcome
If this love will make us men
Love will draw us in
To take our fear away
Love
Love
Love
Love, hey, yeah
Love, this day now, this day that I was so
Sweetly sung, I know, I know that
Love will overcome
Love will overcome
If this love will make us men
Love will draw us in
To take our fear away, wipe our tears away
Love
And all my friends are here
In the city I sing my song
In the face of the hooker, the soldier,
The swine
I found it, I found it, I found love!!!!!
Love will, love will, love will
Overcome
Over come

It's A Man

But I want you to know something, this is sincere, I want you to know, when it comes to believing in God, I really tried. I really, really tried. I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up.
Something is wrong here.
War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades.
Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the résumé of a Supreme Being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude.
And just between you and me, in any decently-run universe, this guy would've been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago. And by the way, I say "this guy", because I firmly believe, looking at these results, that if there is a God, it has to be a man.
No woman could or would ever fuck things up like this.

At Jerry's apartment.
Jerry: Yeah so?
Elaine: He's acting very strangely. I think he started drinking again.
Jerry: Oh boy, can you smell it?
Elaine: No. I can't smell it.
Jerry: Well if you can't smell it then he hasn't been drinking.
Elaine: You don't always smell someone from a drink.
Jerry: Yes you do.
Elaine: What about one drink? Would you smell it from one drink?
Jerry: Yes you would.
Kramer enters
Jerry: I'll prove it. Would you do me a favor?
Kramer: Okay.
Jerry: Would you take a drink and let us smell you?
Kramer: You can smell me without the drink.

Help!

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

Holy Shit!
07-05-2009
In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion.
No contest. No contest.
Religion.
Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
Think about it.
Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you.
He loves you, and He needs money!
He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more.
Now, you talk about a good bullshit story.
Holy Shit!

I Don't Know
06-05-2009
Woke up reeling
Lost all feeling
Heart on the floor
My eyes to the ceiling
Tried to stop me
But I was not listening
One more drink and I won't miss them
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
But I think I had it
See that poor girl
With the glint in her eye
She could turn you that way
If you're willing to try
Don't you worry about your friends
and the time they're having
They are on the outside and they're looking in
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
But I think I had it
See them wasting it all away
For the sake of a thrill and a game away
Oh they found him
Put him in prison
Could have been worse
They could have killed him
He's not the one
He was only dealing
But there's a killer on the loose
and he meets the description
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
I don't know what love is
But I think I had it

You're gonna be the one that saves me

Comfort Somewhere
02-05-2009
"There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere."
Jane Austen, Mansfield Park - English novelist (1775 - 1817)

-I don't belive in text.
-That's true. I don't believe in text. That's a matter of faith. That is because the moment you believe it, you must face the reality.

Just Take My Heart
30-04-2009
It's late at night and neither one of us is sleeping
I can't imagine living my life after you're gone
Wondering why so many questions have no answers
I keep on searching for the reason why we went wrong
Where is our yesterday
You and I could use it right now
But if this is goodbye
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go
Here we are about to take the final step now
I just can't fool myself, I know there's no turing back
Face to face it's been endless conversation
But when the love is gone you're left with nothing but talk
I'd give my everything
If only I could turn you around
But if this is goodbye
Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you but you're too hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Memory
29-04-2009
"If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out."

Elaine: Can you die from an odor? I mean, like if you were locked in a vomitorium for two weeks, could you actually die from the odor?
Jerry: An overdose of odor? Good question.
George: Do I smell?
Elaine: No no no no, I was just down on the forty-second street subway today, it is disgusting. Guess who I bumped into. Owen.
Jerry: Ahh.
George: He's alright?
Elaine: Yeah, he's almost fully recovered. He told me he was just using me for sex.
The waitress brings the check.
Jerry: Let me get that.
George: No no no, I got it.
Jerry: Please.
George: No come on, let me, let me. I smashed your car, it cost you over two thousand dollars,
Jerry: Yeah, a cup of coffee should cover it.

Love's Not Made For My Kind
27-04-2009
There's been a thousand times
Thousand times I've wondered
Is it a hand of fate
That pushes me out into the cold
And the ex-friends say
That I've hidden my feelings too deep
Truth is that I've got nothing to hide anymore
I feel myself weary and old
I've had more than my share of pain
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone
I've been on the edges of unknown
I've roamed the spaces wild and free
I've always been on my own
I can't change my ways can't you see
And now the dark is rising
And my back's to the door
I think it's time to give in
My legs won't carry me no more
I've had more than my share of pain
I wonder if I am still sane
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone
Tarot
There's been a thousand times
Thousand times I've wondered
Is it a hand of fate
That pushes me out into the cold
And the ex-friends say
That I've hidden my feelings too deep
Truth is that I've got nothing to hide anymore
I feel myself weary and old
I've had more than my share of pain
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone
I've been on the edges of unknown
I've roamed the spaces wild and free
I've always been on my own
I can't change my ways can't you see
And now the dark is rising
And my back's to the door
I think it's time to give in
My legs won't carry me no more
I've had more than my share of pain
I wonder if I am still sane
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone

Lt. Commander Block: Every aerial photo and recon report indicate a defensive arsenal in the D, and perhaps negative C, categories. There's also some anti-aircraft squadrons. They can send up an ack-ack umbrella high enough to make any attack ineffective.
Admiral Benson: I don't have a clue what you're talkin' about, Phil. Not a fucking clue. I have a shell the size of a fist in my head. Pork Chop Hill. The only way I can make this goddamn toupee to stay on is by magnetizing the entire upper left quadrant of my skull, so you just go ahead and do what you do.

Temptation

Heaven
A gateway to hope
Just like a feeling
I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me
To see you this way
Betrayed by words
I'd never heard
Too hard to say them
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Each way I turn
I know I'll always try
To break the circle
That has been placed round me
From time to time
I find I lost
Some meaning
That was urgent
To myself
I do believe
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

New scene. Elaine and Jerry are back at the car rental agency, Jerry's eating a bag of pretzels.
Elaine: Five seconds. Jerry, I was five seconds away from breaking up with him. Five seconds. The next words out of my mouth were, 'Owen, it's over.'
Jerry: Can he communicate?
Elaine: Yeah, well, he nods. And I think he understands me, he seems to enjoy it when I read to him.
Jerry: Alright, she's free. (Steps up to the counter) Hi, I called before, uh, my car got smashed.
Elaine: So listen, what should I do? I mean if I break up with him now it'll look like I'm abandoning him because of his condition, I'll be ostracized from the community.
Jerry: What community? There's a community?
Elaine: Of course there's a community.
Jerry: All these years I'm living in a community, I had no idea.
Agent: Sir the estimate on the damage to your car is two thousand eight hundred and sixty-six dollars.
Jerry: Hmm, well, I got the insurance and everything so...
Agent: Yes, now, uh, in your report you said that you were not the driver of the car at the time of the accident.
Jerry: That is right, somebody else was driving.
Agent: Alright, well, sir, you're only covered for when you're driving the car.
Jerry: Uh huh, what's that?
Agent: You're not covered for other drivers.
Jerry: Other drivers?
Agent: Um hm.
Jerry: Your whole business is based on other drivers. It's a rented car. That's who's driving it, other drivers. Doesn't my credit card cover me or something?
Agent: Not that particular one.
Jerry: Well I got a hundred cards, here, pick a card, take a card, any card you want, go ahead, whichever one, I don't care.
Agent: Sir, if you had read the rental agreement--
Jerry: Did you see the size of that document? It's like the Declaration of Independence, who's gonna read that?
Agent: Mr. Seinfeld, as it stands right now, you are not covered for that damage and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about that.
Jerry: These pretzels are making me thirsty!

No matter how they tried

They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand
Yeah! Ive left the world behind
Im safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
Ill decide not you
Withdrawn hed sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died
Yeah! Ive left the world behind
Im safe here in my mind

This is my life, this is my life

It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but Ill still win.

Admiral Benson: Be seated! Ah... Many of you are wondering what's wrong with my pants, well they started running short on materials right before they got to the knees so don't give me any shit. Ah. I look out there on all you wonderful guys and I say to myself "What I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger... and a woman". You know, I've personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life.

What do you think first aid was like though, like hundreds of years ago? You know, I mean they had no medicine, no drugs, no technology, no equipment. Basically, they were there first. That was it, that was the whole first aid. They sit with you. That's all they could do. 'Can you help me?' 'No, no we can't help you, we were the first ones here, I don't know if you know that. Did you see our truck? First aid, that's our motto. We show up before anybody.'

You move in waves
You never retrace
Your newest craze
Straight out of the Face by the bed unread
I'm left behind
Like all the others
Some fall for you
It doesn't make much difference if they do
She changes every time you look
By summer it was all gone - now she's moved on
She called you every other day
So savour it it's all gone - now she's moved on
So for a while
Everything seemed new
Did we connect ?
Or was it all just biding time for you ?

Nothing
12-04-2009
Why are we never satisfied
The grass is always greener on the other side
Fear of never having enough, dreams that turns into rust
Sometimes it's better to leave things alone
The road to success is hard and cold
I'm turning into something I don't wanna be
I've got a feeling that something is changing me
I can not let it all slip away
It's driving me insane
I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away
Fighting the battle that's growing within
It doesn't matter if I lose or win
It's getting to the point where I can't get away
I can not let it all slip away
It's driving me insane
I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away
I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing
I'm taking back what used to be mine
I can't believe my luck is bleeding
My demons refuse to let me go
The light in the tunnel I see is fading
My fire of life is burning low (so low)
I don't wanna be nothing
Time is ticking, I feel stranded
I don't wanna be nothing
Make it go away
I don't wanna be nothing
Hate is growing inside of me
I don't wanna be nothing

Admiral Benson: Ahhh... I love soup. At least I think I love soup. Blasted shell! It's either soup or duck. Which one do you shoot?
Lt. Commander Block: Duck, sir.
[Admiral Benson hits head on desk while ducking]
Lt. Commander Block: Are you alright, sir?
Admiral Benson: Of course I'm alright! Why, what have you heard?

Anthem To The Estranged

Starved for destination, a beggar man by trade
A desperate man needs more than someone else to blame
Friendless he appears, he hides behind his tears
For things he's lost, or things he'll never have at all
The forgotten man wanders misplaced in the world
Obscurity is all the eye can see, and I recall
All alone again
As we pass on by and continue with our day
Can we appraise the quality of life some other way?
All alone again
When you take a longer look at someone on the run
You may see reflections of yourself becoming one
Take an extra moment when you find yourself at peace
To think about your values and your own affluency
Everything you've worked for and everything you've done
May be thrown by the wayside, and you're not the only one
Everything around you may seen worn and overused
But imagine yourself removed from all that you're used to
All alone again
Once an influential man, once was in his prime
He spends his days repeating lines like "can you spare a dime?"
Shunned by those loved you and by those who were your friends
Can you adjust to a different life of living on the edge?
The destitute find meaning in a different way of life
The doorways that they dwell in are shelter in the night
No shining crystal possessions set out for his display
His purpose is to find the food to get him throught the day
All alone again
Roaming aimless through the streets of supply and demand
Once a gypsy disconnected, no more, no future plans
Self discarded king of ruin, worthless to the world
Fight to keep his sanity, his voice is never heard
You may think it thoughtless and his mind is on a string (?)
He always seems to find a reason to him through the day
All alone again
He staggers down the alley to drink his spirits by himself
As he prays to God that he wakes up somewhere else

Emergency
04-04-2009
New scene. Still Jerry's apartment, some time later. There's a pounding on the door, Jerry opens it and Elaine enters with an unconscious older man.
Jerry: Oh my god.
Elaine: Call an ambulance.
Jerry: Boy, he took it hard.
New scene. Owen is now lying on Jerry's couch and Elaine is explaining what happened.
Elaine: We were walking down the block right by your house and I was just about to break up with him then all of a sudden he started to twitch.
Jerry (on the phone): Hello? Yes, I need an ambulance at one twenty nine west Eighty-first Street, apartment five-A.
Elaine: Tell them to hurry! Hurry!
Jerry (To Elaine): It's an ambulance. (To the operator) I don't know but he's unconscious.
Kramer enters.
Kramer: These pretzels are making me thirsty. (He bites into a pretzel.) Boy, these pretzels are making me thirsty.
Jerry: Kramer.
Kramer: What happened here?
Elaine: I don't know, I don't know, what should we do? We called an ambulance, does anyone know first aid?
Jerry: Shouldn't you do something with the extremities?
Elaine: What extremities?
Kramer: What's an extremity?
Jerry: You raise the feet, get blood to the head.
Kramer: You raise the head, you get blood to the feet.
Elaine: Okay, what about a cold compress? They always do that.
Jerry: I don't have a washcloth.
Elaine: Well use a paper towel.
Jerry: You can't put a paper towel on his head.
Kramer: What about a big sponge?
Jerry: How you gonna hold it on there?
Kramer: Use a belt.
Elaine: No no no no no, that'll, it'll drip all over him.
Jerry: Should we walk him around?
Elaine and Kramer (at the same time): Yes, yes.
Kramer: Yeah, I've seen them do that.
Jerry: No, no that's for a drug overdose.
Kramer: Maybe that's what he's got.
Elaine: No no no no, Kramer, I just had lunch with him, he didn't leave the table.
Kramer: Well he could have dropped acid when you weren't looking.
Elaine: He is not a drug addict!
Jerry: Hey, you know what? Maybe he's a diabetic, he might just need a cookie or something.
Elaine: A cookie!
Kramer: Can you give him a cookie?
Elaine: How's he gonna chew it?
Jerry: We'll move his teeth, it happened to my uncle, the sugar revived him.
Kramer puts a cookie into Owen's mouth and starts working his jaw up and down.
Elaine: Careful, you're getting crumbs all over him.
Kramer: I got him chewing but I don't think he's gonna swallow.
Elaine: You know what, let's put a few cookies in a blender and he could drink it.
Jerry: Cookies don't liquefy.
Elaine: Yes they do, you can liquefy a cookie.
Kramer: Alright I'll get a blender.
Jerry: What blender? I don't have a blender.
Kramer: You got a blender.
Jerry: I would know if I had a blender.
Elaine: Where is the ambulance?!
Just then a siren can be heard followed by a skidding sound followed by a crashing sound.

Come On Now Inside

Look outside
I think the sun has come back
Look outside
I think it's come again
It's wet and cold
I wish the sun would come back
It's wet and cold
I wish it would come again
It's twenty below
the ground outside is frozen
It's twenty below
Said old man winter's here
Come on now inside and warm me up
Come on now inside and warm me up
Come on now inside and warm me up
Today
She woke up
To a coldness from my window
She woke up
To a ray of sun come in

Ben Gates: Of all the ideas that became the United States, there's a line here that's at the heart of all the others. "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security."

Swallowed In The Sea
31-03-2009
You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
And I could write it down
or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea
You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
Decided to go to sea
You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see
And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me
And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea
Ooh...
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive
Not loving all you see
Are the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty!

Kramer: Hey, you know they were supposed to do my scene today?
Elaine: Today?!
Kramer: You know they told me that they wanted me to walk down the block carrying this bag of groceries.
Elaine: Yeah.
Kramer: So I start to walk, and I trip, and the grocery bag goes flying, and Woody, Woody starts laughing.
Elaine: He was laughing?!
Kramer: Oh yeah, he was drinking something, it started to come out of his nose.
Jerry: So then what?
Kramer: I got a line in the movie!
Elaine: Get out!
Jerry: That's great!
George: You got a line in the Woody Allen movie?
Kramer: Pretty good, huh?
George: You're in the movie? Is he in the scene?
Kramer: Oh yeah, yeah, it's me and him. I might have a whole new career on my hands, huh?
Jerry: You mean *a* career.
Elaine: So was Mia Farrow there?
Kramer: Uh, I didn't see him.
Elaine: What's your line?
Kramer: Oh, well uh, okay I'm there with, uh, Woody, you know, I'm at this bar and, uh, I'm sit-- you know it's Woody Allen, did I mention that?
The other three impatiently encourage Kramer to continue.
Kramer: So I'm sitting there with Woody and I say, I turn to him and I go, "Boy, these pretzels are making me thirsty."
George: Is that how you're gonna say it?
Kramer: No, no, I'm working on it.
Elaine: Do it like this. "These pretzels are making me thirsty."
Jerry: No. "These pretzels are making me thirsty."
Kramer: No, no. See, that's no good. See, you don't know how to act.
George: "These pretzels are making me thirsty!!"
Jerry pinches his nose.
George: That was no good?
Kramer: I didn't say anything.
Elaine: I'm gonna go break up with Owen.
George: What was wrong with that? I had a different interpretation! Do you know anything about this pretzel guy?! Maybe he's been in the bar a really long time and he's really depressed because he has no job and no woman and he's parking cars for a living! (out the window to honking cars) Alright! Alright! Shut up! Shut up! I hear you! I'm coming down! These pretzels are making me thirsty!
