THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Great!
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Great? Where do you get "great"?
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
It's great to... talk about... other people...
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
...Guys.
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Yeah.
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Uh-huh... Yeah... So, anybody specific?
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
No. A general guy.
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Oh *really*... Elaine Marie Benes...
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
What? No, it's not a big deal.
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
No, that's great! That's terrific!
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
No, we just met...
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Doesn't matter. What's the young man's name? I would like to
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
meet him.
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
I don't think so...
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Well, what does he do? Is he an artisan, a craftsman, a labourer
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
of some sort?
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Wall street.
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Ahh, high finance: bulls... bears... people from Conneticut.
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
And he happens to be pretty good lookin'
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
(pause) Alright, sir.
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
And... he's *hilarious*.
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Now that's not fair! So where did you meet this guy?
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
I "staked" out his health club.
Elaine
Jerry
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
When you're on a stakeout, do you find it's better to stand up
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
against the wall, or kinda crouch down behind a big plant?...
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Y'know I think that even if you've had a relationship with someone,
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
or let's say, *especially* if you've had a relationship with someone
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
and you try to become friends afterwards, it's very difficult.
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
Isn't this? It's hard. Because, you know each other so well, you
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
know all of each others tricks. It's like two magicians, trying to entertain each other.
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
The one goes, "Look, a rabbit."
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
The other goes, "So? ... I believe this is your card."
Jerry
Elaine
THE STAKEOUT
(End stand-up)
"Look, why don't we just saw each other in half and call it a night? Okay?"
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
So I move into the centre lane, now I get ahead of this
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
women, who felt for some reason I guess, that she thought that
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
I cut her off. So, she pulls up along side of me, gives me...
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
the finger. It seems like such an... arbitrary, ridiculous
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
thing to just pick a finger and you show it to the person.
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(shows several fingers to the audience) It's a finger, what
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
does it mean? Someone shows me one of their fingers and I'm
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
supposed to feel bad. Is that the way it's supposed to work?
Jerry
null
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
mean, you could just give someone the toe, really, couldn't
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
you? I would feel worse if I got the toe, than if I got the
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
finger. 'Cause it's not easy to give someone the toe, you've
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
gotta get the shoe off, the sock of and drive, get it up and
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
uh (pretends to drive with one foot in the air and speaks to
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
person driving next to him) look at that toe, buddy. (puts his
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
foot down) I mean, that's really insulting to get the toe,
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
isn't it ?
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(Jerry's apartment. Jerry is packing. Elaine is sitting
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
at the table watching Jerry)
I
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
Is that it? Got the cue tips, got the mini-umbrella,
Jerry
I
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
something boring to read on the plane. (zips his bag with
Jerry
I
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
exaggerated motions) That's it. Done!
Jerry
I
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(claps her hands) That is the single greatest packing
Elaine
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
performance I have ever seen.
Elaine
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(proudly) I am...the master packer.
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(laughs) Yeah, right, you're the master packer.
Elaine
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
What you must understand, Elaine, (picks up the
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
umbrella) packing is no different than leading men into
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
you've gotta know the strengths and weaknesses (hits
Battle
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
his bag rhythmically with his umbrella) of every soldier in
Battle
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
that platoon. From a collapsible toothbrush to a pair of
Battle
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
ordinary black socks.
Battle
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
'Scuse me...master packer!
Elaine
Battle
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
...Yes.
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
Just gimme your keys.
Elaine
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
Alright, sir. (tosses Elaine his keys; apartment buzzer
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
goes of, Jerry speaks over the intercom) George?
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(outside over the intercom) Yeah
George
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(Jerry opens the door) OK, so, now, is there anything
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
else I need to know 'bout this place?
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
uh, yeah, the uuhh, hot water takes a little while to
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
come on. So, the best thing to do is to turn it on, do all
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
your shopping, you...come back and take a shower.
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
OK, this is quite a place.
Elaine
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
There's more, the refrigerator. (Opens it) Deduct a
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
minimum of two days of all expiration dates. (uses the
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
umbrella to point to certain compartments in the refrigerator)
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
No meat, no leftovers, no butter. (closes the refrigerator)
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
that clear?
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
I'll eat out.
Elaine
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
One more thing, Benes, regarding sexual activity:
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
strictly prohibited, but if you absolutely must, do us all a
Jerry
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
do it in the tub.
Big Favour
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)

Jerry
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
(closes the door) Hey, Elaine
George
Jerry
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
Hi.
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
Coming to the airport with us?
George
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
No, I'm staying here for the weekend. I'm getting a
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
break from my roommate.
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
Oh, the actress-waitress.
George
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
No, the waitress-actress. She just got some part in
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
some dinner-theater production of a Chorus Line. So, now all day
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
"God, I hope I get it, I hope I get it". She's gonna get it
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
right in her...
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
You just kick her out.
George
Elaine
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
She's on the lease!...George you have got to find an
Elaine
George
THE ROBBERY
(Comedy club)
other place for me.
Elaine
George
