The soggy croissants

Seinfeld

Scene 1:

Jerry and Elaine are sitting in the restaurant talking about the soggy croissants they'd had for breakfast that morning.

Elaine: I am telling you Jerry, the guy at the coffee shop must have dropped them on something before he gave us those soggy croissants. (makes a face indicating her disappointment)

Jerry: you mean instead of getting us some fresh new croissants, he would just pick up those croissants from wherever he dropped them and bring them to us.

Elaine: Yeah

Jerry: and where do you suppose he had dropped them.

Elaine: could be the kitchen sink, the floor, anywhere (shrugs)

Jerry: It's impossible. They can't just bring us croissants that have been licked by the sink or the floor. We pay for fresh dry croissants.

Elaine: We pay for croissants Jerry. We never mention fresh or dry.

Jerry: But that's understood. Or should we sign a bond, an affidavit, or some kind of agreement before placing an order specifying exactly what we need, in what shape, size or level of dryness. (an expression of disbelief on his face)

Elaine: that's a good idea. A very good idea. (nods in approval)

Scene 2:

Kramer is sleeping on Jerry's couch in his living room. Jerry walks in and stops when he sees Kramer loudly snoring in his living room. He checks his watch. Its 11:30 AM. He wonders why Kramer is still asleep.

Jerry: Kramer. (tries to wake him up by tapping his arm)

Kramer: waa waaa what happened (wakes up jerkily and wonders where he is)

Jerry: why were you still sleeping. Its 11:30 AM. (watches Kramer as he sits up)

Kramer: Coz I don't sleep all night long like you people do. I need to make up for my lost sleep.

Jerry: Fine. But why on earth don't you sleep at night. (goes towards the refrigerator and gets a can of coke)

Kramer: Who says you have to sleep at night?

Jerry: what do you mean? Everyone sleeps at night? It's the normal thing. (takes a sip of coke)

Kramer: Yeah but is it written somewhere. Is it some kind of law. You don't sleep at night and boom the next thing you know you are in jail. (Kramer gets up from the couch and picks up an apple from the kitchen table)

Jerry: I said it was the normal thing to do. Okay forget it. Who am I talking to... (dismisses the conversation)

Scene 3:

Jerry is at the coffee shop with George. He has a paper in his hands and looks excited.

George: what have you got there? (Points to the paper)

Jerry: It's the agreement.

George: What agreement. (takes the paper from him)

Jerry: Elaine and I think there should be an agreement before we place the order so no one can serve us soggy croissants.

George: You mean you are actually gonna show this to the guy when you place your order.

Jerry: Yup

George: I like the idea. (grins)

Jerry: You do. Good. Now watch me.

George and Jerry walk up to the counter. The guy is ready to take the order.

Jerry: We would like two black coffee with croissants.

Guy: two black coffee.. okay anything else for you sir?

Jerry: No. But before we pay, I would like you to sign this agreement.

Guy: An agreement! (looks very confused)

Jerry shows him the paper.

Jerry: We would like fresh dry croissants and nothing less than that. In case we don't get them oven-fresh, we shall be entitled to full refund. (Jerry explains)

Guy: I am sorry sir but that's absolutely unnecessary. We always serve fresh dry croissants.

Jerry: No you don't. We got these really soggy croissants yesterday and my friend thinks you people had accidentally dropped them on the kitchen sink or something and served us the same ruined croissants.
