Seinfeld Script 2-The Familiar Faces
Setting-Jerry's apartment
George
Guess whom I ran into today?
Jerry
Who?
George
Guess
Jerry
Uh, Puddy?
George
No, I ran into Lucy Carson
Jerry
Lucy Carson? Oh, that girl I dated in high school?
George
Ya. She came up to me and first thing out of her mouth is "Hi, how's Jerry?" She didn't even ask how I was! How rude was that!
Jerry
You think she still cares about me?
George
Obviously…who is rude enough to ask about someone else before they even acknowledge the person they are talking to?
Jerry
She said hi. I can't believe she still cares about me! It was almost 30 years ago!
George
Some people just never let go.
Jerry
Ya..Oh well..
(Kramer enters)
Kramer
What's happening?
Jerry
George ran into my old girlfriend from high school. She made it seem as if she still cared about me.
Kramer
Maybe she never met anyone after you and that's why she cares.
Jerry
Kramer I dated her almost 30 years ago.
Kramer
Well maybe she became unattractive and no one likes her anymore.
Jerry
Did she look unattractive or somehow abnormal to you George?
George
No, she was beautiful. even more then I remember her to be.
Kramer
Maybe she is really mean or something…so no one likes her.
Jerry
Good insight Kramer, (said sarcastically)
Kramer
It is a good insight…maybe she has an anger management problem or something.
Jerry
Maybe.

(Setting-the local park. George is going for a walk. George sits on the bench for a break. There is a woman beside him who looks exactly like Susan.)
George
Hi Susan!
Oh my god! Susan! Your dead!
Woman
Who's Susan?
George
Ha-ha am sorry you just look exactly like my ex-fiancé Susan. She died.
Woman
I am sorry to hear that..My name is Monica (shakes Georges hand)
George
My name is George, nice to meet you.
Monica
It's my pleasure.
Scene Ends
Setting –Jerry's Apartment
Elaine
Get this; Puddy came to my house today.
Jerry
What happened?
Elaine
Well, we got to talking, and we've decided that we'll stay friends after every time we break up..Instead of losing complete contact..cause you know, we always bump into each other again anyways.
Jerry
So you are planning on breaking up again?
Elaine
Why do you think that?
Jerry
Well you said that you would stay friends with him every time you break up.
Elaine
Well if we break up then we'll stay friends.
Jerry
But you can't stand each other
Elaine
Forget I said anything, dating him is better then dating nobody.
(Jerry picks up the newspaper)
Jerry
hey,look who's back in town!
Elaine
Who?
Jerry
John f. Kennedy.
Elaine
You're kidding?
Jerry
Nope
Elaine
Is he still with the virgin?
Jerry
I don't know, and her name in Marla.
Elaine
Who cares? You know if you hadn't told her about the contest she wouldn't have broke up with you, and she wouldn't have gone with john. It would've been me. Who knows I could've been married to him by now! It's you and your big mouths fault! You ruined my destiny! Now I have to settle for David Putty.
Jerry
Hey don't go blaming me for your sex life!
Elaine
Well it is your fault!
Scene Ends
Setting-Monks
Kramer
Newman and me are working to create a new invention. Got any ideas?
Jerry
If I tell you my ideas technically it would be my invention.
Kramer
I don't care we'll modify your suggestion.
Jerry
I got nothing
(George and Monica enter.)
Jerry
Oh my god, is that Susan?
George
No, this is Monica. Monica this is jerry and Kramer. Two good friends of mine.
Monica
Hello, jerry and Kramer
Kramer
Wow you look exactly like Susan, I mean exactly!
Monica
Well they say there is someone out there who looks just like you.
Kramer
I don't think they meant an exact replica
This is amazing, and it has given me an idea for my invention. I got to go!
(Exit Kramer)
Monica
I have to go to the washroom, excuse me.
(Exit Monica)
Jerry
Does dating her bring back memory?
George
Not really, they are complete opposites
Jerry
Interesting
George
What's so interesting about that?
Jerry
Well she looks exactly like Susan and yet has a completely different personality..It's kind of ironic.
George
That's not ironic..It's coincidental
Jerry
It is said that there is no such thing as coincidence.
George
Whatever.
Scene ends.
Setting-new York health club
Joyce
Elaine? Elaine Benes?
It's been a long time since you've been here.
Elaine

Joyce
What brings you here?
Elaine
Well I heard JFK junior is back in town and I thought he might stop off here.
Joyce
Oh ya..It was few years back since you first met him here..What happened with that?
Elaine
Long story.
Joyce
All right, good luck finding him.
Elaine
Thanks

Jerry
Then break up with her. Its simple.
(Jerry's buzzer goes off)
I'll call you later someone's here.
George

That was a good work out but I haven't seen JFK junior.

Joyce
Nice seeing you again

You too.
(Elaine leaves the health club and bumps into JFK junior)
Elaine
John!
John
Hey, I know you
Elaine
Ya,it's Elaine.Remember?About 5 years ago you asked me out here..and I waited outside my apartment and you went with a woman named Marla instead.
John
That's right.you never showed up in front of your apartment building.
Elaine
Actually I did.but you were so late that I gave up.
John
Well I am sorry about that.
Elaine
It's alright.so are you still with marla?
John
How do you know about marla?
Elaine
I just know these things
John
Well we broke up after a month.
Elaine
(trying to hide a smile)well are you dating anyone?
John
No I'm not ,are you?
Elaine
(completely forgetting about Puddy) No!(smiling)
John
Well how about going out for a coffee with me?
Elaine
Sure!
Scene ends
Setting-monks
George
I broke up with her.
Jerry
Monica?
George
No,Julia Roberts.
Jerry
You were dating Julia Roberts?
George
I broke up with Monica
Jerry
You seem to have a problem with everyone you date.
George
No one is good enough for me.
Jerry
No,I think you're just not good enough for anybody.
Anyways,Lucy came to my apartment.I figured out whats wrong with her,and why she still cares about me.
George
What's wrong with her and why does she care about you?
Jerry
She has short term memory loss.
George
Oh,so she would forget every relationship she's had. But how come she remembered you.
Jerry
Because that would be long-term memory-loss. She remembers everything before October 16th, 1975.
George
Oh, so are you two dating?
Jerry
No, it would be so irritating dating someone who forgets everything!
George
Ya I guess your right.
(Kramer and Newman enter)
Kramer
Hey guys.
Newman
Hello Jerry, George
Jerry and George
Hello Newman.
Jerry
You two look down in the dumps. What's wrong?
Newman
Kramer's idea for our invention backfired.
George
What was the invention?
Kramer
Robots that are exactly like each of us.
Jerry
What was the purpose of that invention.Did it do anything for you?
Newman
That's how it backfired..It didn't do anything for us.
Jerry
I don't think that's considered backfiring but whatever.
Scene ends
Setting-some expensive coffee shop
Elaine
Mmmm, this is excellent coffee, John.
John
Yes I come here whenever I visit NYC.
Elaine
I had a marvelous time during the hour we spent together.
John
As did I.
(Puddy and another woman walk by Elaine and John's booth)
Elaine
Puddy! You're with another woman!
Puddy
Elaine! You're with another man! Wait, is that JFK Junior?
John
At your service
Puddy
Wow, it's a pleasure to meet you!
(Outside the window of the coffee shop is jerry and George walking by)
Jerry
Hey isn't that Elaine?
George
And isn't that JFK junior?
Jerry
Looks like of the three of us who hooked up with familiar faces, Elaine's the only one who's hookup actually worked out.
George
I don't think so, isn't that Puddy beside them?
Aren't they dating?
Jerry
I guess I was wrong.her hookup probably won't work out.
