 Posted: 05/17/05 - 14:52 Post subject: This Seinfeld episode,
cracked me up last night.
The Chinese Restaurant
"It's not fair that people are seated first-come, first-serve. It should be based on who's hungriest. I feel like just walking over there and taking some food off somebody's plate.
"I'll tell you what, there's fifty bucks in it for you if you do it."
"What do you mean?"
"You walk over to that table, you pick up an eggroll, you don't say anything. You eat it, say thank you very much, wipe your mouth, walk away, I give you fifty bucks."
"What are they gonna do?"
"They won't do anything. In fact, you'll be giving them a story to tell for the rest of their lives."
"Fifty bucks? You'll give me fifty bucks?"
"Fifty bucks. That table over there. The three couples."
"Okay, I don't want to go over there and do it and then come back here and find out there was some little loophole, like I didn't put mustard on it."
"No, no tricks."
"Should I do it George?"
"For fifty bucks? I'd put my face in their soup and blow!"
"Alright, alright. Here, hold this. I'm doin' it."
- Elaine, Jerry and George, in "The Chinese Restaurant"

That is an all-time classic.
Pop Quiz
What movie were they going to see after the Chinese food?

"It's just a movie."
"Just a movie? You don't understand. This isn't Plans One through Eight from Outer Space. This is Plan Nine! This is the one that worked. The worst movie ever made."

And they never get one. The whole episode is them waiting for a table.

Elaine.
She further embarrasses herself by going to the table, trying to tell the people about the bet, and offering them half the money without moving her lips.
The people at the table, cant understand her, and she runs back to george and jerry laughing.
Favorite line in that episode
"I'm Cartwright."

I thought it was interesting that George wanted to make a phone call and the lady was using the pay phone.
????
Use your cell, George!

This episode was on in the first two seasons.
meaning very early 90's.
not everyone had a cell back then.
This inspired me to start another thread!

Plus using the cell phone would not have been nearly as funny.
