(George and Jerry are in the Coffee shop. George seems to be thinking about something.)
Jerry: What's with you?
George: The regular stuff, dating scene, job scene, there is too much competition out there. I wish we were born a few hundred years ago, may be we would've been the Pioneers who traveled to the Frontiers.
Jerry: Pioneers? Us? No.
George: Why not?
Jerry: I really don't see us pioneering that much.
George: Alright, how about the Middle ages, like the 15th Century?
Jerry: Remember how you cheated on your Latvian Orthodox test? You'd be guillotined if you did that in the middle ages. Besides, the whole Renaissance would've been too much of a grind for you anyway.
George: Right, the Renaissance, that's no good. (Pause) How about the B.Cs? Nah, Socrates was ruthlessly poisoned to death in the B.Cs. You don't what that. (laughs, snorts) I mean, what if I come up with some ground breaking philosophy?
Jerry (with a tinge of sarcasm): Hmmm, "George Costanza, the father of Political philosophy, Ethics and Social Justice has been persecuted for his beliefs"
George: No, Jerry, you don't understand, during those days it's not a big deal. Philosopher is like an Executive or a Front office kind of job today.
Jerry: Alright, let's do this for now, go to the Caves, the Cavemen, I really think it's your thing. Once you get used to the clothing, I'm sure you'll really blend in.
