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!

I can hear Kramer's voice going high pitched

ETA: The script is hilarious.

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.



Agree, it was really funny

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

It had one brief moment, that I can think of. The one where they were doing an intervention for an old comic friend who was 'messed up on drugs' (the guy Kramer told to dump the gatorade on Marty Benson's head after the softball game).

George's girlfriend dumps him and he chases after her out of Jerry's apartment, just as that guy walks in to a room full of friends and says "So what's goin' on?" with a very somber look on his face. End Scene.

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.
