Seinfeld - The Tape Script lyrics

OPENING MONOLOGUE JERRY: ....hair that was on your shower soap today could be in your head tomorrow. How did they do the first transplant? Did they have the guy take a shower , get his soap , rush it in there by helicopter, you know keep the soap alive on the soap support system ....looks it over. "We got the hair but I think we lost the Zest." ....rejects the transplant with organs. Is it possible that a head could reject the hair transplant . Guy just standin' there and suddenly... ..Bink! ( motions hair flying out of his head)........lands in someone's frozen yogurt. JERRY'S APARTMENT A REPAIRMAN IS WORKING ON HIS FRIDGE , JERRY DOING WORK WITH HEADPHONES ON. REPAIRMAN: .....The gaskets that you have here are asymmetrical. JERRY: Ah..ha!.. really. ( Jerry is barely listening to him ) REPAIRMAN: So I took off the motor relay on the compressor....'cos you..you (stutters) you've got some discoloration JERRY: Oh! well whatever you have to do. REPAIRMAN: I was working with one.....mount at a time 'cos you don't wanna disturb the position of the compressor. JERRY: (sarcastically) No you don't.. GEORGE ENTERS THE APARTMENT. GEORGE: Hey! what are listening to? JERRY: My show from last night. GEORGE: Oh! you taped it? JERRY: Yeah , I was doing new material. GEORGE: Hey! Did 'ya ever do that thing on the toes that I said . JERRY: Huh? GEORGE: Yeah! like the big toe is like the captain of the toes, but sometimes the toe next to the big toe gets so big that there's like a power struggle and the second toe a**umes control of the foot. JERRY: The" coup dé-toe" GEORGE: Yeah. Did you do it? JERRY: Yeah! GEORGE: So? JERRY: Nothin'.....nothing at all. GEORGE: Need to use the phone. JERRY: Who you calling? GEORGE: China. JERRY: China really? GEORGE: Yeah. I'll pay for it. JERRY: What for? GEORGE: What for? . I'll tell you what for.... for hair. JERRY: Hair? GEORGE: The Chinese have done it my friend. The Chinese have done it. JERRY: Done what? GEORGE: Discovered a cure for baldness. REPAIRMAN: Did you see that last night? GEORGE: It was on CNN ( Kramer comes in and he is taping from a Camcorder) This Chinese doctor Zeng Zau. has discovered a cure for baldness. JERRY: (to Kramer) What's this? KRAMER: Well I just got it. Spector gave it to me , he's giving everything away...becoming a minimalist. GEORGE: Is that the guy who likes fat women? JERRY: Doesn't the fat fetish conflict with the minimalism. KRAMER: (to George) You , you know what you should've done is watching that report on CNN last night. GEORGE: I did, I'm trying to call China. KRAMER: You can't call China now its like, what, three 'O clock in the morning there JERRY: Oh! my God!.... GEORGE: What? JERRY: Oh! God..
