FEMALE WORKERElaine, cake?
ELAINEUh, no, thanks.
FEMALE WORKERIt's Walter's special day.
ELAINEYou know, there are 200 people who work in this office. Every day is somebody's special day.
MALE WORKERElaine! Where're you going? It's Walter's last day. We have to celebrate.
ELAINEIt's his birthday and it's his last day?
MALE WORKERThis is other-Walter, from returns.
OTHER-WALTERHey, what's going on here?
ALLSurprise!
OTHER-WALTEROh guys.
OTHER-WALTERElaine, it's my last day. Have a piece.
ELAINEAll right, pile it on.
ALL (singing, competing)For he's a jolly good fellow...happy birthday to you...for he's a jolly good fellow...birthday to you...which nobody can deny...
JERRYWhat is so bad about having a little piece of cake?
ELAINEIt is the forced socializing. I mean, just because we work in the same office, why do we have to act like we're friends?
JERRYWhy aren't you there now?
ELAINEI had to take a sick day. I'm so sick of these people. By the way, I talked to Lisi, and tomorrow night's good for her.
JERRYYou know, I shouldn't go out with a friend of yours. I foresee messiness.
ELAINEYeah, you're better off sitting around here, reading comic books, and eating spaghetti at two in the morning..
JERRYHey, speaking of tomato sauce, you want to come with me and George to Mario's Pizza?
ELAINEYour old high school hangout? Why?
JERRYThey're closing. We're going for one last slice.
KRAMERHey. All right. Hi. Check it out, official police caution tape. Look at that.
KRAMERUh-uh-uh. Step back, son, there's nothing to see here.
JERRYWhere did you get this?
KRAMERWell, I got it from my cop buddy Doug.
JERRYYou sure have a lot of friends. How come I never see any of these people?
KRAMERThey want to know why they never see you.
KRAMERI'm gonna eat that later.
JERRYSo they just gave you this?
KRAMEROh no, no,. no. I had to fish around in the evidence room for it. You know, they're all preoccupied, trying to hunt down this new psycho-serial killer, the Lopper. All right, I'll see ya.
ELAINEWait a minute, wait a minute. Who is the Lopper?
KRAMEROh, it's no big deal. It's just some guy who's been running around Riverside park-pffff. You know, cutting people's heads off.
JERRYHow come I haven't read about this?
KRAMERWell, you know, the police, they've been having some internal dissension about the name.
ELAINEReally? What're the other titles?
KRAMERUh, Headso...uh...The Denogginizer...Son of dad.
JERRYSon of dad?
KRAMERYeah. That was my suggestion. It's sort of a catchall.
GEORGEMario's Pizza.
GEORGEJust as she was. Hey, Mario! Remember us?
MARIONo.
JERRYWe used to come in every day.
MARIOSo where ya been? We're tanking here.
GEORGEWe'll have 2 slices and 2 grape sodas.
MARIOOh, thanks. That'll save us.
JERRYAll right, make it the large sodas.
GEORGEHey, Jerry, remember Frogger? I used to be so into this game. Gettin' that frog across the street was my entire life.
JERRYYeah. And then you went on to...Well, it's a good game.
GEORGEDouble jump! Eat the fly! Eat it!
BOYThanks a lot.
GEORGEAh, beat it, punk.
JERRYHey, look at the high score--"G.L.C." George Louis Costanza. That's not you, is it?
GEORGEYes! 860,000. I can't believe it's still standing. No one has beaten me in like 10 years.
JERRYI remember that night.
GEORGEThe perfect combination of Mountain Dew and mozzarella...just the right amount of grease on the joy stick...
MARIOHere's your pizza pea brains.
JERRYI think I remember why we stopped coming here.
GEORGEYeah.
ELAINE (thinking)This pen smells really bad. So why do I keep smelling it? Is it too late for me to go to law school?
ELAINEWhat is this?
MALE WORKERYou were out sick yesterday, so we got you a get-well cake.
FEMALE WORKERIt's carrot. It's good for you.
WORKERS (singing)Get well get well soon, we wish you to get--
ELAINEStop it! That's not even a song! I mean, now we're celebrating a sick day?
MALE WORKERI think it's nice.
ELAINEWhat? What is nice? Trying to fill the void in your life with flour and sugar and egg and vanilla? I mean, we are all unhappy. Do we have to be fat, too? Not you Becky, I know you have a slow metabolism. I don't want one more piece of cake in my office!
WORKER (singing)Get well, get well soon--
MALE WORKERIt's not happening.
BECKYCan we still it eat?
JERRYI'll tell you Lisi, I never expected that movie to--
LISIEnd under water?
JERRYBe that long. I mean, most action movies are--
LISISo much more violent.
JERRYNot as long.
LISIWell, I should probably--
JERRYGet going.
LISIYeah.
JERRYWell, it was nice meeting you. I'm sure I'll see you--
LISIEight tomorrow?
JERRYActually, that's--
LISIWhat you were thinking.
JERRYRight.
GEORGEOh! Here you are. Ha ha...You, uh, you want to--
JERRYSure. (points at booth) How about this one?
GEORGEWell, I'm doing it, Jerry. I'm buying the Frogger machine. Now the torch will burn forever.
JERRYFabulous. See, now you're really do something.
GEORGESo, you want to come down to Mario's Pizza with me and help me pick up the Frogger?
JERRYHey, how you gonna keep the machine plugged in while you move it?
GEORGEWhat?
JERRYOnce you unplug the machine, all the scores will be erased.
GEORGEYou're right. Why must there always be a problem? You'd think just once I could get a break. God knows I earned it with that score!
KRAMERWell, more bad news Jerry.
KRAMERYou know the police, they found another victim of the Lopper in Riverside Park. I saw the photo, and it looked a lot like you.
JERRYOh, come on. There's a lot of people walking around the city that look like me.
KRAMERNot as many as there used to be.
GEORGENo. I need a guy that can rig a Frogger machine so that I can move it without losing power, 'cause I have the high score. H-hello?
KRAMERYou know, George, you're not gonna find an electrician like that in the yellow pages. Now, I know just the guy who can do this.
JERRYAnother friend?
KRAMEROh, no, no, no. This guy is no friend. In fact, we don't even get along.
GEORGEWell, is he good, Kramer?
KRAMEROh, he's the best...and the worst.
GEORGEKramer, listen to me. I'm never gonna have a child. If I lose this Frogger high score, that's it for me.
KRAMERBelieve me George, you can count on Slippery Pete.
GEORGESlippery Pete?
KRAMERYeah, I don't care for the name, either. In fact, that's one of the things that we argue about.
GEORGEAll right, I'm gonna find a guy with a truck. GLC must live on!
JERRYCome on.
KRAMERDng-ga-gng-ga-wt.
JERRYHello?
ELAINESo how's it going with my friend?
JERRYShe's a sentence finisher. It's like dating Mad Libs.
JERRYWhat is that?
ELAINEOh, it's a cake party. It's the third one today. I didn't realize how hooked I got on that 400 sugar rush.
JERRYSo join in.
ELAINEI can't. I denounced them. Maybe I'll go raid Peterman's fridge. He's always got a truffle or something in there.
JERRYAll right.
JERRYHey, wh-what--
KRAMERYeah. I dropped an egg. Be careful.
ELAINEAnybody here? Peterboy?
ELAINEOoh, it's a cake walk.
PETERMAN (singing)Get well, get well soon we wish you to get well.
PETERMANHa ha ha ha...Oh, what a stirring little anthem of wellness.
ELAINEMr. Peterman, um--
PETERMANWe missed you at the get well party. Poor old Walt has a polyp in the duodenum. It's benign, but--ooh--still a bastard. Oh, Elaine, can you keep a secret?
ELAINENo, sir, I can't.
PETERMANInside that small college boy minifridge is my latest acquisition. A slice of cake from the wedding of King Edward VIII to Wallis Simpson, circa 1937, price--$29,000.
JERRYWell Lisi, that was another-
LISILovely evening.
JERRYReally bad meal. I was thinking maybe we should--
LISIGo for a hansom cab ride?
JERRYCall it a night. I'll walk you home. Where do you live?
LISI84th street, right off Riverside Park.
JERRYRiverside Park.
LISII thought we were going--
JERRYBack to my place. That's right.
GEORGESo you slept with her?
JERRYShe lives right off Riverside Park. I was scared of the Lopper, So I let her stay over.
GEORGEAnd you automatically sleep with her?
JERRYWell, I just wanted to make out a little, but she kind of--
GEORGEFinished your thought.
ELAINEGuess what I ate.
GEORGEAn ostrich burger.
ELAINENo. A $29,000 piece of cake. Peterman got it at The Duke Of Windsor auction. It was the most romantic thing I've ever eaten.
JERRYHow'd it taste?
ELAINEA little stale.
JERRYYeah.
GEORGE (nudges Elaine with his elbow)So, uh are you sleeping with Peterman?
ELAINE (nudges George with her elbow)No. He doesn't know I ate it. In fact, he almost caught me. I have to sneak back in and even it out.
GEORGEYou know, they say ostrich has less fat, but you eat more of it.
ELAINEHey, so I talked to Lisi and she has got a big surprise for you. She's planning a weekend trip to Pennsylvania Dutch country.
JERRYPennsylvania Dutch country? Oh, that's the serious relationship weekend place.
ELAINEWhat is going on with you two?
JERRYWell, I think by sleeping with her, I may have sent her the wrong message.
GEORGEWhat's that?
ELAINE400 sugar fix.
JERRYWell, I'm calling this off right now.
ELAINENo, no. You are way past the phone call breakup stage.
JERRYWell, I'm not going over there. That's where the Lopper is.
ELAINEOh...it's daylight. It won't take you that long. Just make a clean break.
ELAINEJust a little off the side...
ELAINEWell, no point in wasting $1,200.
ELAINE (thinking)Oh, commander, isn't the wedding marvelous? More cake? Oh, I shouldn't. I mustn't. Ah, what the hell?
GEORGENow, each of you is here because you're the best at what you do.
GEORGESlippery Pete, Kramer tells me you are one hell of a rogue electrician. And shlomo, you're the best truck driver.
SHLOMOI don't know If I'm the best.
GEORGEOh...you're very good.
SHLOMOLet's say "good."
GEORGEOk. Good. And Kramer, you're in charge of taping off the loading zone.
KRAMERLock and load.
SLIPPERY PETEYou think you can handle that, numb nuts?
KRAMERAll right, all right, come on, now.
SLIPPERY PETEThat was my mail-order bride.
KRAMERHey, you weren't home, so I signed for her.
SLIPPERY PETEIt doesn't give you the right to make out with her.
KRAMERYou weren't even married yet.
GEORGEAll right, all right, calm down, calm down. Whatever happened in the past is past.
GEORGENow, this is the basic layout for Mario's Pizza.
SHLOMOSo what kind of jail time are we looking at if we're caught?
GEORGEWhat do you mean?
SLIPPERY PETEWe're stealing this thing, right?
GEORGENo. I--I paid for it.
SLIPPERY PETEI thought we were stealing it.
KRAMERYeah. It feels like we're stealing it.
GEORGEWe're not stealing it.
SHLOMOI definitely thought we're stealing it.
GEORGEAll right, let's--let's focus. Can we get back to the plan?
SLIPPERY PETEWell, I need a battery for this kind of a job. Can I at least steal a battery?
GEORGEFine. Steal the battery. Now, all right, here is the Frogger. This is the front door, and this is the outlet.
SLIPPERY PETEWhat's that?
GEORGEThe outlet?
SLIPPERY PETEMm-hmm.
GEORGEThat's where the electricity comes out.
SLIPPERT PETEOh, you mean the holes.
SHLOMOWhich one's the bathroom?
GEORGEUh, here.
SHLOMOThey put the Frogger with the toilet? Yecchh.
GEORGEThe Frogger is here.
KRAMERGeorge, I thought that was the door.
SLIPPERY PETEWhere are all the pizza ovens?
SHLOMOI thought the bathroom was here.
GEORGEAll right. You understand now? It's not that complicated.
ELAINEI need to replace an antique piece of cake.
ELAINEDo you have anything that's been...you know, laying around for a while? Something prewar would be just great.
KRAMEROh, hey, Elaine. What, you got the munchies?
ELAINEOh, Kramer, I am in big. big, big trouble. I need a cake that looks like this.
KRAMEROh, yeah--Sotheby's. Yeah. They make good cake.
ELAINEDo any of these look close?
KRAMERNo, but I know I've seen cake just like that. Oh--Entenmann's. Yeah.
ELAINEEntenmann's? From the supermarket?
KRAMERWell, no. They're not really in the supermarket. Yeah, they got their own case at the end of the aisle.
JERRYHi, Lisi.
LISIHi, honey. Is that a bat?
JERRYUh, yeah. I found it on the street. It's gotta be worth something.
LISISo, what do you want to do, Sweetheart?
JERRYWell, before we do anything...maybe we should talk.
MONTAGE
JERRYThen this Pennsylvania Dutch thing comes out of nowhere. I mean, how am I supposed to respond to that?
LISIThen may I say something... without being interrupted?
JERRYWell I'm sorry if I ruined your life. That's exactly what I set out to do.
LISIUh-huh. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh...

GEORGEJerry, you came for the big moment.
JERRYNo. I'm waiting for...

ELAINEI guess I'll just--
PETERMANOh, no Elaine, stay. Lubeck here is the world's foremost appraiser of vintage pastry.
PETERMANAll right, Lubeck. How much is she worth?
LUBECKI'd say about 219.
PETERMANHa ha ha ha ha!$219,000! Lubeck, you glorious titwillow. You just made me a profit of $190,000.

GEORGEJerry, I've been preparing for this moment my entire life.
SHLOMOHe looks like a Frog.
SLIPPERY PETESo do you.
JERRYGame over.
ELAINEMr. Peterman, you wanted to see me, sir?
PETERMANElaine, up until a moment ago, I was convinced that I was on the receiving end of one of the oldest baker's grift in the books--The Entenmann's shim-sham.
ELAINEOhh...
PETERMANUntil I remembered the videotape surveillance system that I installed to catch other-Walter using my latrine. But it also caught this.
EALINEMr. Peterman, I, uh...
PETERMANElaine, I have a question for you. Is the item still...with you?
ELAINEUm...as far as I know.
PETERMANDo you know what happens to a butter-based frosting after six decades in a poorly ventilated English basement?
ELAINEUh, I guess I hadn't--
PETERMANWell, I have a feeling that what you are about to go through is punishment enough. Dismissed.
