George's Grades

(Elaine and Jerry are in the Coffee shop. George walks in and wishes them with some energy and enthusiasm)

Jerry: You seem to be in good mood. What out of sequence, disparate events have you pieced together and forced it to make you feel good?

George: I do that to make myself feel bad, this one's for real, one of my cousins, he's in 8th Grade, been doing really well at School, consistent 4.0, didn't know that kind of thing ran anywhere in our family, not even walk.

Jerry: Oh, you are claiming his fame to your name

George: I thought you're allowed to do that in a family. (angry). Hey, I claimed millions of bad things from family, didn't even have a choice. Why can't I claim one good thing, dammit!

Elaine: I got 4.0 once in 3rd Grade

Jerry: I don't know if ONCE and ALWAYS can really be mentioned in the same breath in these matters 

Elaine: Yeah, yeah, what about you guys, who had better grades?

Jerry: Don't ask George how he managed, but we were up and down that pretty much evened out toward the end. No one's a clear winner between us.

George: That may be one of the foundations of our friendship. You can't have friends with consistent gap in grades.

Jerry: Or, with a consistent gap in how long you can stick to a girl

George: Well, that's a given.
