George lies to the unemployment office to keep his benefits by creating a fake latex company, Vandelay Industries, operating out of Jerry’s apartment, but he's unable to contact Jerry to let him know the office would be calling so he sprints all the way home to try reach him and explain the lie before the office rang to confirm the company existed. George: You're considering hiring me for your latex salesman. Jerry: I'm going to hire you as my latex salesman? George: Right. Jerry: I don't think so. Why would I do that? George: Because I asked you to. Jerry: If you think I'm looking for someone to just sit at a desk pushing papers around, you can forget it. I have enough headaches just trying to manufacture the stuff.
