Jerry Seinfeld:
So he just gets soup. He wants to save the meal. So now I got to do it all over again.

Elaine Benes:
What kind of soup did he get?

Jerry Seinfeld:
I don't know. Consomme or something.

Elaine Benes:
Consomme, hmm.

Jerry Seinfeld:
What?

Elaine Benes:
Well, that's not really a meal, Jerry. I mean, if he had gotten Chicken Gumbo, or Matzah Ball, or Mushroom Barley. Then I would agree with you. Those are very hearty soups.

Jerry Seinfeld:
Elaine, you're missing the whole point.

Elaine Benes:
What?

Jerry Seinfeld:
The meal is the act of sitting down with him. It doesn't matter what you get. As long as he's sitting in that restaurant, it's a meal.

Elaine Benes:
Was it a cup or a bowl?

Jerry Seinfeld:
You see - ah, uh...

Elaine Benes:
I'm just curious.

Jerry Seinfeld:
A bowl, okay?

Elaine Benes:
Did he crumble any crackers in it?

[Jerry exhales in exasperation]

Elaine Benes:
Did he crumble any crackers in it?

Jerry Seinfeld:
As a matter of fact, he did.

Elaine Benes:
Oh, well. Crackers in a bowl. That, that could be a meal.

Jerry Seinfeld:
It's like I'm talking to my Aunt Sylvia here.
