Each character rides the subway separately and has a completely different adventure.
Monk's Caf, the whole gang at a booth.
KramerAll right, Coney Island. Ok, you can take the B or the F and switch
for the N at Broadway Lafayette, or you can go over the bridge to DeKalb
and catch the Q to Atlantic Avenue, then switch to the IRT 2, 3, 4 or 5,
but don't get on the G. See that's very tempting, but you wind up on Smith
and 9th street, then you got to get on the R.
ElaineCouldn't he just take the D straight to Coney Island?
KramerWell, yeah...
ElaineOk, what time is your job interview George?
George9:45
JerryRemember, don't whistle on the elevator.
GeorgeWhy not?
JerryThat's what Willie Loman told Biff before his interview, in 'Death of
a salesman'.
GeorgeWhat, you are comparing me to Biff Loman, very encouraging. The
biggest loser in history of American literature.
ElaineAll right, I'm gonna go.
JerryWhat time is the lesbian wedding?
Elaine9:30
GeorgeLesbian wedding. How do they work bride and groom out, what do they
flip a coin?
ElaineYeah, they flip a coin.
GeorgeWhat, was that not politically correct? It's a legitimate question.
JerryI'm so tired. I'll fall asleep on that train <em class="inline-stage">(yawns)</em>
GeorgeI get the feeling when lesbians are looking at me, they're
thinking: "That's why I'm not heterosexual".
KramerJerry, come on let's go, pick up the check so we can go.
JerryOh, I'm paying for breakfast?
KramerYeah.
ElaineYeah.
GeorgeYeah.
JerryWhy do I always pay? What am I made of money? You bunch of
deadbeats.
****************************
On the Subway.
GeorgeHow many tickets are you paying today?
KramerWell, let's see: speeding, running a red light, no license, no
registration, no plates, no brake lights, no rear view mirror...yeah. (gives
George a ticket)
GeorgeNo doors?
KramerI'm fighting that one. You know, this is gonna cost me over six
hundred bucks.
*Blind violinist comes playing, with mug for the money. Everybody else gets
some change, except George.*
GeorgeI can't carry any changes in these pants, it falls out.
Violin playerThank you.
GeorgeThat guy is not blind.
JerrySo, can I convince anybody to come down to Coney Island with me? I
got to pick up my car at the pound. George?
GeorgeI can't believe they actually found your stolen car.
JerryNot only that they found it. It was simonized and the front end was
aligned.
GeorgeThat's amazing.
JerrySo what do you say? Run in the cyclone. Hotdogs on Nathan's is on
me.
GeorgeWhat are you? Satan? I'm close to a job here. It's my second
interview with them.
JerryAll right, biff. Elaine, merry-go-round?
ElaineI can't. I'm the best man.
JerryKramer, bumper-cars?
KramerI've gotta go to court, I'll get in trouble. What's the matter with
you?
JerryCould be years before I get back to Coney Island. I can't go to
rides alone.
*Subway announcement: 42th street. Change to D,N,RR,2,3,4,5,7,C,E,F train.*
*They all get off and go to different directions.*
ElaineSee'ya.
*************************************
Another subway. Jerry comes in and sits down. Fat man across him gives a
look.
George gets on another subway. Sits next to a beautiful woman. They smile to
another.
Kramer rushes to yet another subway and tries to find a seat. Stumbles
around as all seats get filled right before him.
He squeezes himself to same seat with obese young man.
Jerry is falling asleep and leans towards the next guy who leaves and Jerry
falls in his seat.
*************************************
Woman next to George rubs her leg and George looks at her.
WomanYou looking for a job?
GeorgeMe, why?
WomanWell, you're reading the classifieds.
GeorgeOh, no no no. I was just looking for stock-pages. Here it is.
Looking for the quotes. Gotta check to quotes. Love a good quote. Oh, IBM
up a quarter.
WomenYou didn't look like someone who needed a job.
GeorgeMe? No, no, I don't, I don't. Doing very well, very well, yep.
WomenSo, you're in 'the market'?
GeorgeYeah I'm, eh, in 'the market'.
WomenWhich market?
GeorgeWhich market, the, eh, big one, the big market, the big board.
Bull market, bear market, you name the market, I'm there.
WomenSo, do you work for one of those big broker-houses?
GeorgeThey wish. I hate the big broker-houses. Hate them with a passion.
Big broker-houses killed my father.
WomanReally?
GeorgeWell, they hurt him bad. Really hurt his feelings. It's a long
story. I- I don't like to talk about it, but I swore then that I would
never work for big broker-houses. See, all they care about is money. I'm
about more than money, I'm about people, always gone my own way and I've
never looked back.
*Train horn blows and George looks back*
*************************************
*Elaine's train. She's carrying a wedding present. A older woman approaches
her*
WomanI started riding these trains in the forties. Those days a man would
give up their seat for a woman. Now we're liberated and we have to stand.
ElaineIt's ironic.
WomenWhat's ironic?
ElaineThis, that we've come all this way, we have made all this progress,
but you know we've lost the little things, the niceties.
WomanNo, I mean what does 'ironic' mean?
ElaineOh...
WomanWhere are you up to, with such a nice present, birthday party?
ElaineA wedding.
WomenA wedding?
ElaineYeah
WomanHah, I didn't know people still get married. It's hard today with
men and women.
ElaineYou're telling me.
WomanSo, are they a nice couple?
ElaineOh, very nice.
WomanWhat does he do, if you don't mind me asking?
ElaineShe.
WomenShe? She works, he doesn't. He sounds like my son.
ElaineThere is no he.
WomenThere is no he. So, who's getting married?
ElaineEm, two women. It's, eh...lesbian wedding.
WomenLesbian wedding.
ElaineAha, yep. I'm the...eh...bes tman.
Women (talks to man next to her): My luck. I don't talk to a soul in the
subway for 35 years. I get a best man at a lesbian wedding. (leaves)
ElaineNo, no, no, you don't understand! I'm not a lesbian! I hate men,
but I'm not a lesbian!
*************************************
Kramer's train. A man leaves and lefts a newspaper to his seat.
Kramer and another guy glance each other and rush to get the paper. The
other man gets to it first and Kramer gets only little piece of one page.
*************************************
Jerry's train. He is still sleeping and trying not to fall to the floor.
Man across gives him a look.
*************************************
*Elaine's train. Train is full packed.*
Elaine's voiceI'm really looking forward to this. I love weddings. Maybe
I'll meet somebody, umm maybe not.
*Train suddenly stops*
Elaine's voiceOh, man. We're stopping?
*************************************
*George's train.*
WomanWell, this is where I get off.
GeorgeOh, you do?
WomanEh, hey why don't you...oh nothing.
GeorgeNo, no, what, what?
WomanWell, I was going to say: why don't you get off with me, but you're
obviously very busy on your way to some important meeting or something.
GeorgeYeah, well....
WomanYeah I knew it was a bad idea.
*George is in agony thinking if he should go or stay. Then runs after her*
GeorgeHey, what's another million, give or take. I get off where and when
I wanna get off.
*He gets stuck between closing doors.*
GeorgeI'm stuck. Pull a little, just a second. Don't start the train!
Don't start the train!!
*************************************
*Kramer is reading a newspaper. Couple of men behind him are talking.*
Man1: This, it's the fourth horse of the first race, Pappanick.
Man2: How do you know it's going to win?
Man1: My UPS-guy tells. Guys who own the horses are regular customers.
Every horse he has ever given me has won.
See, they've been sandbagging and looking for a good spot. He's been
getting it light cause they've been using bug boy and the workout hasn't
been published. Now they are ready to run with it. They are gonna break his
maiden. It's going to go to great price, maybe 30:1. I'm telling you ,it's
a lock.
Man2: But it rained last night.
Man1: Exactly, this horse loves the slop. It's in his bloodlines. His
father was a mudda', his mother was a mudda'.
Man2: His mudda' was a mudda'?
Man1: What did I just say? Come on, let's go to the office, I'm going to
call my bookie. Hey, don't tell anybody.
*Kramer quickly turns away*
*************************************
*Jerry wakes up and looks to guy opposite to him. The fat guy is naked and
reading a paper.*
JerryO-K. You realize of course, you're naked?
Naked manNaked, dressed. I don't see any difference.
JerryYou oughta' sit here. There is a difference.
Naked manYou got something against naked body?
JerryI got something against yours. How about a couple of deep knee bends,
maybe a squat thrust?
Naked manWho's got time for squat thrusts?
JerryAll right, how about skipping breakfast. I'm guessing you're not a
'half-grapefruit and black coffee' guy.
Naked manI like a good breakfast.
JerryI understand, I like good breakfast. Long as you don't wind up
trapped in a room with bimbo broals(?) and pigtails, been counseled by Dick
Gregory.
Naked manI'm not ashamed of my body.
JerryThat's your problem, you should be.
*Naked man drops half of his newspaper*
JerryDon't get up, please, allow me.
*Jerry picks up the paper*
*************************************
*Elaine is still trapped in a stopped train.*
Elaine's voiceOh, this is great. This is what I need, just what I need.
Ok, take it easy I'm sure it's nothing. Probably rats on the track, we're
stopping for rats. God, it's so crowded. How can there be so many people?
This guy really smells, doesn't anyone use deodorant in the city? What is
so hard, you take the cap off, you roll it on. What's that? I feel
something rubbing against me. Disgusting animals, these people should be in
a gage. We are in a gage. What if I miss the wedding? I got the ring.
What'll they do? You can't get married without the ring. Oh, I can't
breath, I feel faint. Take it easy, it'll start moving soon. Think about
the people on the concentration camps, what they went through. And
hostages, what would you do if you were a hostage? Think about that. This
is nothing. No, it's not nothing, it's something. It's a nightmare! Help
me! Move it! Com'on move this fu(beep) thing!! Why isn't it moving?!? What
can go wrong with a train!?! It's on tracks, there's no traffic! How can a
train get stuck. Step on the gas!! What could it be? You'de think the
conductor would explain it to us? 'I'm sorry there's a delay we'll be
moving in 5 minutes'!! I wanna hear a voice. What's that on my leg?!!
*Lights in the train go off*
*************************************
*George and the woman step in to a hotel room.*
GeorgeAre you often on business trip? Nice...oh, hey nice ice-bucket.
WomanMake your-self comfortable.
*She steps in to bathroom.*
George's voiceMake myself comfortable. What does that mean? Does she want
me to take my clothes off? Is she taking her clothes off? What if I take my
clothes off and she still has hers' on? Then I really look like an idiot.
She could get offended and leave. So maybe I should leave them on, but what
then if she takes her off? Then she'll feel humiliated. 'Make yourself
comfortable'. I got this unbelievable woman and this 'comfortable'-thing
can ruin me. I got it! I take my shoes off and sit on the bed. There,
that's comfortable. She can't accuse me being unconvertible.
*She comes out from the bathroom, wearing a nightie.*
GeorgeGotta tell you I'm pretty comfortable.
*************************************
*Kramer is in the "Off-track betting" office. He is talking with a guy
behind in the line.*
KramerOh yeah, it's all set. They got the bug boy on him.
GuyThe bug boy.
KramerYeah, the little father has run his hard out. They're gonna break
his maiden.
GuyReally? But, it's a little bit slow out there it rained last night.
KramerOh, this baby loves the slob, loves it, eats it up. Eats the slob.
Born in the slob. His father was a mudda'.
GuyHis father was a mudda'?
KramerHis mother was a mudda'.
GuyHis mother was a mudda'?
KramerWhat did I just say?

*************************************
*Elaine is in a stopped train with no lights.*
Elaine's voiceWhy couldn't I take a cab. For 6 dollars my whole life
could've changed. What is that on my leg? I'll never get out of here. What
if I'm here for the rest of my life? Maybe I'll get out in 5 seconds. 1
banana, 2 banana, 3 banana, 4 banana, 5 banana...no, I'm still here! Still

*George and the beautiful woman are still in the hotel room. The woman is
putting handcuffs on George and the other end to the backboard of the bed.*
GeorgeEh, gee, I hope you have the key for these things.
WomanOh, don't worry. I do.
*She steps in to the bathroom*
GeorgeYou know, my mother used to walk around on our apartment just in
her bra and panties. She didn't look anything like you, she was really
disgusting, really bad body. If you could imagine uglier and fatter version
of Shirley Booth. Remember Shirley Booth from Hazel. Really embarrassing,
cause you know I had only mother in the whole neighborhood who was worse
looking than Hazel. Imagine the taunts I would hear.
WomanLike what?
GeorgeLike a "Hey your mother is uglier than Hazel. Hazel really puts
your mother to shame"
*She comes out of the bathroom fully clothed*
GeorgeWhat's going on?
WomanIt was a pleasure doing business with you George, but I'm afraid I
have to get going.
GeorgeGet going? But we haven't really, you know....
WomanEight dollars? Eight dollars?
GeorgeWhat are you doing? You're robbing me?
WomenI wasted my whole morning with you for eight dollars?
GeorgeWait, wait a second, what are you doing?
WomanI'm taking your clothes.
GeorgeNo, that's my only suit. It cost me 350 dollars. I got it at Moe Ginsburg .
WomanBye George.
GeorgeNo wait, you can't just leave me here! Will I see you again?

yes...

KramerYes! Yes! I won, hey <em class="inline-stage">(shouts to cashier)</em>
*Kramer collects the winnings. A big pile of cash. Shows the money around.
There is a big thug looking at the money.*
*Kramer goes into the subway and sees that the thug followed him. He makes
a run for it. Thug follows. Kramer steps out of the train and so does the
thug. Kramer tries to jump back on the train, but door closes.*
