Seinfeld, Season 2

Seinfeld (1989-1998) was an American television sitcom, airing on NBC, about four friends living in New York City, considered to be one of the most popular and influential of the 1990s in the U.S. more »

Jerry:
Why shouldn't we be able to do that once in a while if we want to?

Elaine:
I know.

Jerry:
I mean, really, what is the big deal? We go in there. [Points to the bedroom] We're in there for a while. We come right back out here. It's not complicated.

Elaine:
It's almost stupid if we didn't.

Jerry:
It's moronic.

Elaine:
Absurd!

Jerry:
Of course, I guess, maybe, some little problems could arise.

Elaine:
Well, there are always a few.

Jerry:
I mean, if anything happened, and we couldn't be friends the way we are now, that would be really bad.

Elaine:
Devastating.

Jerry:
Because this is very good. [Points back and forth between them to indicate friendship]

Elaine:
And that would be good. [Points to bedroom]

Jerry:
That would be good too. The idea is combine the this and the that. But this cannot be disturbed.

Elaine:
Yeah, we just wanna take this and add that.

Jerry:
But of course, we'd have to figure out a way to avoid the things that cause the little problems. Maybe some rules or something.

Elaine:
Huh.

Jerry:
For example, now, I call you whenever I'm inclined and vice versa.

Elaine:
Right.

Jerry:
But if we did that, we might feel a certain obligation to call.

Elaine:
Well why should that be? Oh, I have an idea. I have an idea. No call the day after that.

Jerry:
Beautiful. Let's make it a rule.

Elaine:
All right, sir.

Jerry:
Now here's another little rule. When we see each other now, we retire to our separate quarters. But sometimes, when people get involved with that, they feel pressure to sleep over. When that is not really sleep. Sleep is separate from that. And I don't see why sleep got all tied up and connected with that.

Elaine:
Okay, okay. Spending the night is optional!

Jerry:
Well now we're gettin' somewhere.
