JERRYHuh? Huh?
ELAINEHmm! Rico!
JERRYSuave! And it's non-fat!
GEORGEYa-see, how could this not have any fat? It's too good.
ELAINE(offering her yogurt to George) You want to taste mine?
GEORGE(offers his) Oh, you want to taste mine.
ELAINENo, I don't.
GEORGELo..k, if you want to taste mine, you don't have to offer me some of yours.
ELAINEAll right, let's just forget it.
JERRYYou know, Kramer's gonna clean up on this place.
GEORGEWhat do you mean?
JERRYHe invested in it.
GEORGENo kidding?
JERRYYeah. We've been coming here everyday. This is so fuck(bleeped)ing good.
MARYEDITHJerry!
JERRYOh, I'm sorry.
ELAINEAll right, we should get going. But, I'm going to get a little bit more, okay?
GEORGEOh, god. Look who's here.
JERRYWho is it?
GEORGEThis guy from my old neighborhood. Lloyd Braun. He's a big advisor to Mayor Dinkins. He thinks he's so cool.
JERRYOh, oh.?
LLOYDHey, George!
GEORGEHey-hay! Lloyd! Hey! My friend Jerry eh.
LLOYDHi.
JERRYHi.
LLOYDSo, I hear you're living back home now, is it?
GEORGEYeah, there was a fire in my apartment.
LLOYDFire! Whoa! There's a lot of major chicks in this place, huh? (George nudges Jerry with his right arm) Something wrong with your arm?
GEORGEUh, uh, yeah. Actually, the, uh, I-I bumped my elbow on a desk and uh injured something an.. now it sort of moves involuntarily.
LLOYDWow, that's a bitch, huh? So, how are your parents doing?
GEORGEOh, pretty good.
LLOYDThis place does some business, huh?
GEORGEYeah, this is my first time here. (nudges Jerry again)
LLOYDHey, she's a doll. (looking at Elaine)
ELAINEHi!
GEORGEUh, Elaine, this is, uh, Lloyd.
ELAINEHi!
LLOYDOh, hi! Very nice to meet you.
ELAINENice to meet you, too!
LLOYDWell, I'm really sorry I gotta run now. (sets down his cup of yogurt and makes his way out) Well, take it easy, huh, George?
GEORGEYeah! Yeah.
ELAINE(excited about Lloyd) Aaah. Boy, he is really cute!
GEORGEHe's a jerk. (nudges to his right but no one is there)
JERRYHe's gone, George.
GEORGEAll right. All right.
KRAMERSo, there were a lot of people there, huh?
JERRYOh, man, that yogurt place - you're going to make a fortune.
KRAMERYeah.
JERRYThey're doing an incredible business.
KRAMERYeah, well, I told you to go in on it.
JERRYHow did you know?
KRAMERWell, I tasted it at the one downtown. It's got a remarkable texture. You'd never know it was non-fat.
JERRY(answering the buzzer) Yeah?
ELAINE(on the buzzer) Buzz me.
JERRYHey, I had the show of my life last night. I ad-libbed like ten new minutes.
KRAMERYeah, but did you tape it?
JERRY(pulling out a tape from his pocket) Vvvvup. Right there. I got it. I did this thing on the Ottoman Empire. Like, what was this? A whole empire based on putting your feet up?
KRAMERYes!
JERRYI'm telling you, I got like a whole new Tonight Show here.
ELAINEHey!
KRAMERHey!
JERRYWhat's the matter?
ELAINEOh, I was having lunch, and I bit down on the fork.
JERRYBoy, it's hard to believe - with all that biting experience - a person could still make a mistake like that.
KRAMER(sort of falling backwords) Yowm!
ELAINEWhat?
KRAMERWell, you're getting heavy.
ELAINE(quietly) What?
KRAMERYeah, you look like you put on (holds his hands out) five, (holds his hands wider) ten pounds.
JERRYKramer!
KRAMERI'll tell you something else, you're looking a little chunky yourself, buddy.
JERRYMe?
KRAMERYeah.
JERRYNo.
ELAINEWhere's your bathroom scale? (Jerry looks at her like 'where do you think?' Elaine and Jerry both go into the bathroom) Oh my god, I've gained seven pounds.
JERRYI've gained eight.
KRAMERI told ya.
ELAINEOh, my god! A couple, but 7 pounds. How did I gain 7 pounds?
JERRYHow did I gain eight?
ELAINEI don't get it. I, I've been doing the same exercises. I haven't been eating anything different.
JERRYMe, either. Wait a second. Wait a second. Maybe it's that yogurt.
KRAMERNo, no, no. That's hundred percent non-fat.
JERRYWell, how else could this have happened?
KRAMERWell, maybe it's the Oreos.
ELAINEI don't eat Oreos.
KRAMERYou don't eat Oreos? (acts out eating Oreos) The way you break them open? You're (does a bunch of licking motions) ~ practically having sex with them.
JERRYWhat about me?
KRAMERYou? You're getting old.
JERRYMaybe your yogurt isn't so non-fat.
KRAMEROh, guess again, Tubby!
ELAINEJerry, there's got to be a way to find that out.
JERRYThere must be some kind of lab that would do that kind of thing.
ELAINEAH! I've got it.
KRAMERWhat?
ELAINEI'll call the Food and Drug Administration.
KRAMERHey, I'll tell you what, Chubs, if that yogurt has fat in it, I will put myself on an all-yogurt diet for a week.
JERRYWell, let's start the insanity.
KRAMERNNNN-Giddy-up!
FRANKTommy Tune is a very good dancer. (hits George on the head with what seems to be the tvguide) You ever see Tommy Tune dance?
GEORGENo.
ESTELLEI like tap dancing.
FRANKTap dancing. Anyone can tap dance. It's all in those shoes.
ESTELLEAre you kidding? They practice for years, those people.
GEORGEWhat's for supper?
ESTELLESomebody's at the door.
FRANKTommy Tune is very tall. That helps. It makes him lankier.
ESTELLE(answers the door) Lloyd?
LLOYDHello, Mrs. Costanza.
ESTELLEGeorgie, Lloyd Braun is here.
FRANKHey! Lloyd!
ESTELLEWhat are you doing here?
LLOYDWell, I was just in the neighborhood visiting my mother so I thought I'd drop by and say, "Hello".
ESTELLEGeorgie. Come here and say hello.
FRANKHow are you doing, Lloyd? I hear you're a big advisor for Dinkins now.
LLOYDThat's right. Hey, George.
GEORGEHey, Lloyd. (Shakes hands with Lloyd) How's it going? (chuckles)
LLOYDI uh ran into George yesterday in the city.
ESTELLEOw! (hits George on the forehead) What's the matter with you?
LLOYDSo, uh, how's the arm, huh?
GEORGEOh, it's good.
ESTELLEWhat's the matter with your arm?
GEORGENothing.
LLOYDOh, his arm moves like this. (does the nudging motion)
FRANKYour arm moves like this? (does the nudging motion)
GEORGEYeah.
FRANK(continues to move his arm) I never seen your arm move like this.
ESTELLEMe, either.
GEORGEWell, it comes and goes.
FRANKIt's like some kind of aaaaa (snapping his fingers) spasm.
LLOYDOoh! I asked Mr. Dinkins if he knew any good orthopedists, and he said he had the best. (hands George the Doctor's card) So, I made an appointment for you. Dr. Dekter.
ESTELLEMayor Dinkins got an appointment for him?
FRANKYou mentioned George's name to Mayor Dinkins? You discussed George with the mayor of New York?
ESTELLEDinkins was talking about you. He was discussing you.
GEORGEYou know, Lloyd, I-I've been to the doctor (hands George the card) there's really nothing they can do.
FRANK(grabbing the card) Hey, Mayor Dinkins set this up for you. You know what kind of a doctor this must be if Dinkins knows him?
GEORGEAll right. All right! I'll go.
LLOYDWell, that's great. (grabs the card back from Frank and hands it to George again) And, uh, I'll be very interested to hear the diagnosis.
ELAINEUh-huh. Okay, well, we're coming down. All right. (hangs up the phone) Okay. I got a place that can analyze it. It's in Brooklyn. We have to drive there.
JERRYAnd they said they can do it?
ELAINEYeah, it's forty-five bucks.
JERRYAll right. Let's go down to the yogurt store, and we'll get a specimen.
ELAINEHm-hmm.
MARYEDITHWell, I hope you're satisfied.
JERRYWhat?
MARYEDITHEvery word out of my son's mouth now is *beep*(fuck), *beep*(fuck), *beep*(fuck). (Jerry half turns and puts his head done for a second) You know what he said to me five minutes ago? Where's my *beep*(fuck)ing cupcake?
JERRYGee, I'm really sorry.
MARYEDITHHe wants to be like you because you're a comedian. Maybe you could talk to him?
JERRYI'd be happy to.
MARYEDITHThank you.
JERRYAh, Mary, we've been eating a lot of your husband's uh yogurt at the yogurt place - does that have any fat in it?
MARYEDITHNo *beep*(fuck)ing way!
LLOYDWell, it was very nice seeing you again.
ESTELLEOh, it was good seeing you.
LLOYDOh, um, by the way, who was that gorgeous woman I saw you with the other day?
GEORGEOh, uh, just a friend of mine.
ESTELLEYou must mean Elaine. Isn't she adorable?
LLOYDShe is. She is. How about giving me her number?
GEORGEOh, you know, Lloyd, I really don't have it.
ESTELLEShe works at Pendant Publishing. Elaine Benes.
LLOYDOh, great. (nudges George on the chin) Thanks a lot!
GEORGEYeah!
LLOYDBuh bye.
ESTELLEBye! (Lloyd leaves) Oh, that Lloyd Braun. He is something, isn't he?
NEWMANWell, I wouldn't hear of it. I said, "Nice try, granny!" And I sent her to the back of the line!
JERRYHello, Newman.
NEWMANHello, Jerry. Say, this yogurt is really something, huh? And it's non-fat! I've been waiting for something like this my whole life! And it's finally here!
OWNERHey, Seinfeld. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop using obscenities around my son, huh?
JERRYIt was an accident. I'm going to talk to him.
ELAINEI want a small, plain vanilla in a cup to go. That's non-fat, right?
OWNERThat's right.
ELAINE'Cause I'm on a special diet, and the doctor said I can't have any fat.
OWNERYeah, well, there is no fat.
NEWMANHey, another round of strawberry for me and my friends.
ELAINEHurry, Jerry! Hurry!
JERRYHow's it doing?
ELAINENot so good.
KRAMERWell, you can't have this tested now. It's melting.
JERRYSo what.
KRAMERIt changes the molecules.
JERRYOh, you don't know what you're talking about.
KRAMERHey, fatso! I got a 90 in biology.
JERRYYou call me fatso one more time; you're going to be walking back.
ELAINEUm, hi! Hi. I called earlier about getting the yogurt tested.
LAB TECHNICIANOh, right. Would you fill this out, please?
ELAINEUh, does it matter if it's melted?
LAB TECHNICIANNo! (Jerry looks at Kramer) You know, this is going to take a couple of days.
ELAINEThat's okay.
KRAMERHello, there.
CHERYLHello!
KRAMEROoh! Test tubes. Cool!
JERRYWhat do you got there?
LAB TECHNICIANActually, this is Mr. Giuliani's blood. We're doing a cholesterol work up on it.
JERRYOh.
ELAINEOkay, I'm done.
CHERYLIt was really nice meeting you.
KRAMERWell, the pleasure's all mine.
JERRYYou can't take that chemist out.
KRAMERWhy not?
JERRYBecause she's like the jury. She's going to be sequestered.
KRAMERI'm not taking her out just to influence the results.
JERRYWell, I think the whole thing stinks.
ELAINEIt smells. Smells bad. Smells really bad.
JERRYThat's enough.
ELAINEWhat?
JERRYWith the smelling.
GEORGESo, he made an appointment for me to see Dinkins' doctor. He's just trying to humiliate me.
JERRYUh-huh.
GEORGEAnd I have to go. If I don't go, he'll know I'm lying.
JERRYWell, so, what are you going to do? Sit in the doctor's office doing this? (moves his arm) He's gonna think you're a mental patient.
GEORGEI don't care. Look, Lloyd doesn't know what he's up against. This is nothing to me. (moving his arm) My whole life is a lie.
ELAINEHey!
GEORGEHey
JERRYHey.
ELAINESo, guess who called me.
GEORGEOh, don't tell me. Lloyd?
ELAINEWe're going out tomorrow night.
GEORGEOh, look, he's going to ask you about my arm. So, just tell him I banged it against a desk. And it's been moving involuntarily ever since.
ELAINEI can't say that.
GEORGEWhy not?
ELAINEWhat if I like him? I'm going to start out lying to this guy?
GEORGESo, you're taking his side?
ELAINENo. But what if we get married or something? We'll always have that between us.
GEORGEAlready you're marrying this guy?
ELAINEYou never know.
GEORGEAll right, believe me, you're not going to marry him.
ELAINEAll right, well, then what if we become a couple, George? Every time we see you you're going to be walking around going like this? (moving her arm) Even you can't keep that up.
JERRYNo, I believe he can.
MARYEDITHHi!
JERRYHi!
MARYEDITHYou know Jerry.
MATTHEWOf course, he's the funny *beep*(fuck).
MARYEDITHSee!
JERRYListen, Matthew, I-I want to explain something to you. Now, cursing is not something that most comedians do.
MATTHEWYou did it.
JERRYThat's true. But it was an accident. And I haven't done it since. And I would never do it again. And if you continue cursing, you'll never become a comedian like me when you grow up. (phone rings) Excuse me one second.
ELAINEYou know, Lloyd advises Dinkins on everything he does.
GEORGEYeah, yeah. Big advisor.
ELAINEHe tells him which soap to use.
JERRY(quickly moves over toward Matthew) What the *beep*(fuck) are you doing? You little piece of *beep*(shit)!
CHERYLShh! We don't want to disturb the security guard.
KRAMERWhere's the lights. Whoa!
CHERYLHow about this?
KRAMERYeah! Bunsen burner. (runs his fingers through the flame) oo ya ya.
CHERYLOo.
KRAMERYaow.
CHERYLHa hea.
KRAMERYou want a taste? It's Cappuccino.
CHERYLIt's delicious.
KRAMERI hear you.
CHERYLNon-fat?
KRAMERWell, you tell me. Is the verdict in yet?
CHERYLNo.
KRAMERWell, this is in case there's a tie!
ELAINEWell, as far as I know, he bumped his arm into a door and it's kind of got this in(pauses)voluntarily movement. Some sort of a (clears her throat) spasm. So, anyway, you're a..you're a big advisor to Dinkins, huh?
LLOYDYeah, yeah. It's coming right down to the wire.
ELAINEWow! You know what I would do if I was running for mayor. One of my campaign themes would be that everybody should wear name tags all the time to make the city friendlier.
LLOYDName tags, hmm?
ELAINEWell, everybody would know everybody. It would be like a small town.
LLOYDMaybe I'll mention that to him.
ELAINEReally? Wow.
LLOYDYou sure you don't want any yogurt?
ELAINENo, I'm watching my weight.
LLOYDWell, it's non-fat.
ELAINEYeah, so they say.
LLOYDWell I'm done, should we go?
ELAINEYeah. Okay.
ELAINEThree days and he hasn't called me, and you know why? Because he thinks I'm too fat.
JERRY(surprised) He said that?
ELAINE(stands up straight) No, but I saw the look on his face when he put his arm around me. And then we went to his apartment, and I sat on one of his chairs and it broke. And he says, "Boy, you're a lot of woman!"
KRAMERHey! So, hear anything on the yogurt?
JERRYNo, but I expect to hear anytime.
KRAMERWell, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
JERRYWhy do you say that?
KRAMERNo reason. Oh, did you hear about that Dinkins?
ELAINENo. What about him?
KRAMERYou didn't hear?
ELAINEUn-huh.
KRAMERHe's proposing a plan where everyone in the city should wear name tags.
JERRYName tags?
KRAMERYeah! So people can go around saying "hello" to one another.
JERRYOh, I see. So you can go, "Hey, you know who I saw wilding today? Herb!"
KRAMERHe's become the laughing stock! You know The Times has already stated it could cost him the election. (laughing) Name tags!
JERRY(on the phone) Hello? Yes. Uh-huh. Ya. Oh, really? Okay, thank you very much. Bye-bye. (hangs up the phone) Well, the yogurt verdict is in. (Kramer looks at Jerry with his arms out) Fat!
KRAMERYeow!
GEORGEThe next morning, I woke up, and it was going like this. (moves his arm slowly) I can control it if I really concentrate. But otherwise, (arm moves) oh.
DOCTORUh huh. Yes, well, I'm going to have to be perfectly honest with you.
GEORGEPlease, doctor.
DOCTORI've examined you.
GEORGEYes.
DOCTORI've looked at your X-rays.
GEORGEUh-huh.
DOCTORAnd I find that there's absolutely nothing wrong with you.
GEORGEHmm. Really? Nothing?
DOCTORNothing, that would indicate involuntary spasms.
GEORGEWell, it's kind of a mystery, isn't it?
DOCTORNo, not really.
GEORGEHow so?
DOCTORMay I suggest the possibility that you're faking?
GEORGEFaking? What makes you think that I have time to see doctors, take X-rays, make appointments, when there's absolutely nothing wrong with me? What kind of a person would do a thing like that?
DOCTORI don't know what kind of a person would do something like that. Obviously a very sick person. A very immature person. A person who has no regard for wasting other people's valuable time. Good-bye.
GEORGENow, see here, doctor.
DOCTORI said, good-bye.
GEORGEFine. (hits his arm on the desk) Ow!
ELAINEJerry, come on, look. Let's go over to that yogurt store.
JERRYLook, Elaine, I've been thinking about this. This has got to be a massive conspiracy. Who knows how deep it goes. Hey, look, wait a second, (looking at the TV) Kramer, turn that up.
KRAMERHuh, Okay.
NEWSRudy Giuliani, who underwent a physical last week, received some startling news today, when his cholesterol count turned out to be a whopping 375. What effect this will have on the minds of the voters remains to be seen. In another development, Mayor Dinkins has fired his top advisor, Lloyd Braun, who is believed to be responsible for the name tag fiasco. We now take you to Giuliani headquarters where Rudy Giuliani is about to make a statement.
GIULIANIIt's hard to understand. Because I've been doing everything I normally do. I've been watching my diet very carefully. I exercise regularly. My only indulgence, I guess, would be that I eat a lot of frozen yogurt. But it's non-fat.
JERRYNon-fat yogurt? Oh, my god. They got Giuliani and he doesn't even know it.
ELAINE(pointing to Kramer) Now look what you've done.
JERRYWell, we've got to do something. (grabs his phone) I'm calling Giuliani's headquarters.
GEORGEName tags! Name tags! What kind of an idiot thinks anybody would be interested in an idea like that.
FRANKI don't think it's so bad. People should wear name tags. Everyone would be a lot friendlier. "Hello, Sam." "How are you doing, Joe?" (George's arm moves and hits the lamp) Hey, your arm. It moved again. I thought you said it went away.
GEORGEI banged it on the desk in the doctor's office. An (worriedly rubbing his arm) aaaa . . .
ESTELLEBe quiet. They're starting the press conference.
GIULIANIMy campaign staff has received some very disturbing information regarding the fat content in yogurt that's being sold throughout the city. I pledge to you now, that if I'm elected mayor, as my first order of business I'll appoint a special task force to investigate this matter. I promise you, my fellow New Yorkers, that Mayor Giuliani will do everything possible to cleanse this city of this falsified non-fat yogurt.
JERRYThe old yogurt was so much better. Oh, this is terrible.
GEORGEPhew!
ELAINEOh, it stinks.
KRAMERMine, too. I got one more day.
JERRYI can't eat this.
NEWMAN(from the corner of the Yogurt shop) Hey, Jerry. Thanks a lot. I hope you're happy.
JERRYIt had fat in it, it's not good for you.
NEWMANI don't care. It was good. I was enjoying it. Had to interfere. Couldn't leave well enough alone. Well, I will get even with you for this. You can count on it.
ELAINEHey, you guys, listen to this. Listen to this. (reading from the newspaper) Apparently some blood spilled into Mr. Giuliani's test tube causing his cholesterol count to be 150 points higher than was initially reported. Ironically, the mishap by bringing the non-fat yogurt scandal to the attention of the public, probably clinched the election for the Republican. It was the one issue which seemed to electrify the voters and swept Giuliani into office.
JERRYSo, in effect, the yogurt won him the election.
ELAINEI wonder what actually happened in that lab.
KRAMERYeah, me, too.
NEWMANI can't eat this.
MATTHEW(hits Jerry to get his attention) Thanks for ruining my daddy's business, you fat *beep*(fuck).
