George's Competition

(Mrs. Zanfino knocks on Jerry's door while Kramer, Jerry and George are inside the apartment...)

(George is quite comfortably sitting on the couch with a pillow on his lap, watching TV. Kramer is making himself dinner humming some song.)

(Jerry is at the table behind the couch, sitting, observing the two.)

Jerry (says to himself): Certainly more comfortable than me in my own house.

(Kramer opens the door)

Mrs.Zanfino: Kramer, sorry to bother you, Joey is not going to bed. I just want to scare him a little. Could you come by, he really gets scared by you.

Kramer (a little proud, looking at Jerry/George): Ohhh.

Mrs. Zanfino: Yeah, he thinks you're Frankenstein.

Kramer: Sure Mrs. Z. I'll be there.

(Kramer goes out the door.)

Geroge: What's the story of Mrs. Z.

Jerry: She's a widow, why?

George: Nice looking widow. (thinks for a second). Yes, why not? I just got to be a little better than her late husband. You don't think I can compete with a dead man?

Jerry (doubtful expression): I don't know George, dead men don't make any mistakes on first dates.

George (thinks): You're right. It's tough. (Pause) Oh man!

Jerry: What?

George: I think I've just overcome fear of death!
