Carol Hatfield - "The British Are Coming"

JERRY

It isn't about you; it's about me. How was I

selected for this show? I mean, of all the

American comedians.

KRAMER EDGES INTO FRAME AND HANDS GEORGE THE THERMOMETER, SIGNALLING "READ IT." GEORGE TRIES TO READ IT UNOBSTRUSIVELY.

LLOYD (ON MONITOR)

Well, you weren't exactly our first choice.

GEORGE WHISPERS TO KRAMER NOT REALIZING THE MIKE CAN PICK HIM UP.

GEORGE

Did you just have tea?

KRAMER SHAKES HIS HEAD FROM SIDE TO SIDE.

JERRY

So was I your second choice?

GEORGE ELBOWS JERRY IN THE RIBS SLIGHTLY. JERRY IGNORES HIM. GEORGE IS TRYING TO SHOW HIM THE THERMOMETER.

LLOYD (ON MONITOR)

Not exactly.

JERRY

Okay, so how many comedians passed

before my agent said yes?

GEORGE ELBOWS JERRY AGAIN, JERRY IS ANNOYED BUT HE DOESN'T RESPOND.

LLOYD (O.M. CONT'D)

There were many reasons why our other

bookings fell through.
