INT. COFFEE SHOP

Jerry and George sitting down drinking coffee.

JERRY

So they gave me four free tickets

to the Bruce Springsteen show, at

MSG, front row. You, Elaine,

Cosmo, you’re all coming with me.

GEORGE

(Ecstatic)

The Boss?! In The Garden!

JERRY

Yep. Front row. Glory Days, Born

in the U.S.A.—

GEORGE

(Cutting Jerry off)

I wonder if he remembers me. It

was around Christmas time in 1980,

he had just done a big show at The

Garden. I was returning a pair of

loafers for my father at this

after-hours shoe repair place right

around the corner. Anyway, he had

rounded the corner rather quickly

trying to elude some fans when he

steps on a patch of ice. Both of

his legs fly out from under him,

when I reached out and grabbed him

with my one free arm.

JERRY

I remember that winter. The whole

city was covered in ice for a

month. Did he take you down?

GEORGE

Of course not. I sort of turned

him, in the air, and righted him

back up, both feet landed safely on

the ground.

JERRY

You always had incredible balance

on icy sidewalks.

GEORGE

30 years of shoveling my parents

driveway in Queens every winter

will do that.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 2.

Jerry nods, sipping his coffee.

GEORGE

Anyway, after that, he shoves me

into his limo, thanks me for saving

his life, and drops me off at the

shoe store.

JERRY

Imagine that. If it weren’t for

Georgey-Boy here carrying out

late-night errands for his father

The Boss may have ceased to exist

in the ’80s.

GEORGE

Can’t say I’ve seen Better Days.

JERRY

How did it work out at the shoe

store?

GEORGE

Oh, I was too star-struck I left

the shoes in the limo. To this

day, my father brings it up every

time he sees a limo.

(Imitating his father)

Hey George, I think I saw Lou Reed

in that Limousine. Why don’t you

give him my jacket this time.

INT. JERRY’S APARTMENT

Elaine enters as Jerry places the tickets on the kitchen

counter.

ELAINE

Guess who was in the office today.

JERRY

(Firing back quickly)

Rip Taylor.

ELAINE

No. You juvenile. Bruce

Springsteen. Peterman wants a new

line of jeans modeled after his

butt.

Jerry is waving the tickets in the air.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 3.

JERRY

Well you can see him again this

weekend at The Garden!

Elaine pushes Jerry violently.

ELAINE

Get out! You know, he hit on me.

JERRY

Was your nipple hanging out again?

ELAINE

(Sarcastically laughing)

He said, after looking me up and

down, ’Now there’s a butt to model

jeans after’.

JERRY

You sure he wasn’t referring to

Peterman?

Kramer bursts through Jerry’s door, shirtless, eating a

banana holding a brown paper bag with bananas sticking out

the top.

JERRY

(Introducing Elaine to Kramer)

Elaine, Johnny Weissmuller.

Kramer sticks his face out as if there is something

noticeable about it.

KRAMER

You see that Jer’? So smooth and

clear. It’s like I’m 20 years

younger and it’s all because of

these puppies. From now on I’m

eating nothing but bananas.

Jerry rolls his eyes.

KRAMER

Have you ever eaten a banana?

JERRY

(Sarcastically fascinated)

No, what are these strange yellow

things. And what happened to your

shirt?

Kramer puts down the bag of bananas on the counter.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 4.

KRAMER

So get this. I’m walking down

Broadway after going to the

market. A car flies by, hitting a

puddle, and soaks a crowd in the

middle of a photo shoot. The guy’s

shirt who they were taking photos

of is ruined. I take off my shirt

and say ’here ya go buddy’ and

throw it at him.

Kramer makes a throwing motion and popping noise with his

mouth.

ELAINE

You just gave a stranger your

shirt?

KRAMER

Not just any stranger. Turns out

it was Bruce Spingsteen.

JERRY

Wait a minute now. Am I the only

one here without a personal

connection with Bruce Springsteen?

KRAMER

Yeah, it’s all about good karma,

baby. It’ll come back to me some

day.

JERRY

Well maybe he’ll give it back to

you at the concert Saturday night.

Jerry hands Kramer a ticket to the Bruce Springsteen

concert.

KRAMER

That’s banana-karma right there.

Kramer makes another popping noise with his mouth.

EXT. STREETS OF NEW YORK AT NIGHT

Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer are walking down the

street after the concert. Kramer is eating a banana.

ELAINE

That was such a good show.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 5.

GEORGE

I know, it was amazing. Hey do you

wanna grab a slice of pizza

somewhere?

JERRY

Yeah, how ’bout Famous Rays? It’s

just up here around the corner.

Jerry points ahead.

GEORGE

No, I thought Ray’s is that way?

George blindly turns to point in the opposite direction and

smacks Kramer’s banana out of his hand. The half-eaten

banana lands on the sidewalk in front of a limo.

Bruce Springsteen rushes to his limo behind them and slips

on the banana. His feet fly up in the air as they watch.
