Jerry's Home

(Jerry is at the kitchen counter in his apartment, pouring himself some juice, pondering about something. George enters)

George: You don't look right, what happened?

Jerry: Nothing much, my parents are coming today and they're supposed to be home by now, just wondering where they are.

George: May be the flight's been delayed, did you check?

Jerry: Yeah, no luck...right on time! I wonder if it is something I might have said when they called me earlier this week.

George: I can't imagine a son saying something that might upset parents. What did you say?

Jerry: I guess I asked; "why don't you book a round trip, you'll get a good deal.". Is that so inexcusable? My dad loves a good deal of any kind, not the round-trips apparently. They don't like the idea of their son thinking about their return journey.

George: So they just canceled the trip, you think?

Jerry: No they definitely started, I called them today morning and I may have referred to the round trip again.

George: I'll tell you. I don't mind if my parents booked a one way ticket.

Jerry: But they're here...

George: Exactly

Jerry: Oh No!

George: What?

(Jerry rushes out of his apartment, knocks on Kramer's doors. Kramer opens the door)

Kramer: Oh, they're here

Jerry: I thought so!

(Jerry tries to get inside. Kramer stops him with one hand)

Kramer: I'm sorry, Jerry.

Jerry: You're not letting ME in to YOUR apartment??? (Kramer's 1000s of pop-ins flash through Jerry's mind as he says this.)

Kramer: That's right

(Kramer closes the door as George opens Jerry's door and observes what's going on)

George: Oh Jerry, Jerry, don't worry, you're always welcome here.

(Jerry turns his head towards Kramer's house, then towards George and then in to the middle with a very Jerry's expression of philosophical confusion)
