Seinfeld1989
Genre: Comedy
George Costanza:
Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable, I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but... I was perceptive. I always know when someone's uncomfortable at a party. It became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I've ever made, in my entire life, has been wrong. My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every of life, be it something to wear, something to eat... It's all been wrong.
Waitress:
Tuna on toast, coleslaw, cup of coffee.
George Costanza:
Yeah. No, no, no, wait a minute, I always have tuna on toast. Nothing's ever worked out for me with tuna on toast. I want the complete opposite of on toast. Chicken salad, on rye, untoasted... and a cup of tea.
Elaine Benes:
Well, there's no telling what can happen from this.
Jerry Seinfeld:
You know chicken salad is not the opposite of tuna, salmon is the opposite of tuna, because salmon swim against the current, and the tuna swim with it.
George Costanza:
[Sarcastically] Good for the tuna.
Elaine Benes:
[a blonde looks at George] Ah, George, you know, that woman just looked at you.
George Costanza:
So what? What am I supposed to do?
Elaine Benes:
Go talk to her.
George Costanza:
Elaine, bald men, with no jobs, and no money, who live with their parents, don't approach strange women.
Jerry Seinfeld:
Well, here's your chance to try the opposite. Instead of tuna salad and being intimidated by women, chicken salad and going right up to them.
George Costanza:
Yeah, I should do the opposite, I should.
Jerry Seinfeld:
If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.
George Costanza:
Yes, I will do the opposite. I used to sit here and do nothing, and regret it for the rest of the day, so now I will do the opposite, and I will do something!
George Costanza:
[He goes over to the woman] Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice that you were looking in my direction.
Victoria:
Oh, yes I was. You just ordered the same exact lunch as me.
George Costanza:
[Takes a deep breath] My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.
Victoria:
I'm Victoria. Hi.
