quote:

THE FIREFIGHTER AND OFFICER NOD. “WHAT IS THIS GUY?”

GEORGE: So, an INTERESTING week.

FIREFIGHTER These have been the worst four days of my life.

GEORGE Horrible, horrible. And yet, it must be just a bit exciting.

POLICE OFFICER Excuse me?

GEORGE Well, men in your profession - you want to save lives, face danger head on. If ever there was a time...

FIREFIGHTER Buddy, I watched the South Tower collapse on half of my engine. You saying I wanted that to happen?

GEORGE No no, I’m just SUGGESTING -

POLICE OFFICER Suggesting WHAT?

FIREFIGHTER You’ve got a big mouth, you son of a bitch! HE SWINGS AT GEORGE WITH HIS GOOD ARM. GEORGE DUCKS AND THE FIREFIGHTER FALLS FORWARD ONTO THE TABLE, COLLAPSING IT. HE MOANS. THE ROOM IS STUNNED.


Later

quote:

JERRY It must be EXCITING? EXCITING? “Hey, I’m sorry you watched thousands of people die, but boy! That must have got the old adrenaline pumping!”

GEORGE They don’t know how good they have it! My whole life I’ve wanted to be a hero. Here it just falls into their laps, and they don’t even appreciate it!


later Jerry Elaine

quote:

ELAINE Jeeze, can you believe how quickly they got this place cleaned up? This entire block was covered in dust!

JERRY I know, it’s immaculate! It’s like they made a blood sacrifice to Mr. Clean. Hey, by the way, I am so, so sorry about that guy you were seeing.

ELAINE Meh?

JERRY What do you mean, meh? He was murdered by terrorists.

ELAINE I was gonna break up with him anyway.

JERRY I thought you liked him.

ELAINE He was nice, but in conversations he was just so... animated. It was like I was dating a radio sound effects guy. Anyway, saved me an awkward dinner.

JERRY Well as long as it worked out for you.


quote:

KRAMER You remember my crazy friend Mo Atta?

ELAINE The guy you fish-sit for when he goes to Florida? What about him?

KRAMER Look at this! KRAMER HANDS ELAINE A NEWSPAPER. SHE READS.

ELAINE “The leader of the hijackers has been identified as Egyptian-national MOHAMED ATTA.” GET - OUT! ELAINE SHOVES KRAMER FROM ACROSS THE TABLE.

KRAMER You know he was always talking about how evil America was? Eventually I told him, “Why don’t you do something about it?” I thought he’d write to his Congressman!

JERRY Kramer, he just crashed a plane into the World Trade Center! He slit the pilots’ throats with a box-cutter!

KRAMER Not “a” box-cutter - MY box-cutter. He borrowed it last week!

That's worse than Elaine's Murphy Brown script.

The most redeeming value that Seinfeld holds for me is that it never had one "serious" episode/moment. All comedy, all the time.

Did anyone actually READ the whole thing...because it's fricking hilarious! Yeah...it's dark as shite, but it's spot on and you can literally hear and see this episode playing out. It's really pretty brilliant.

As with all episodes of Seinfeld, it paints them to be horrendous even at one of the worst times ever.

I read the whole thing and could picture every part of it. If there was a seinfeld episode about 9/11, it would have been exactly like that.
