Apparently Plato, who came up with the concept of the platonic relationship, was pretty excited about it. He named it after himself. He said, Yeah, I got this new thing Platonic. My idea, my name, callin it after myself. What I do is, I go out with the girls, I talk with them- dont do anything, and go right home. Whatd you think? I think its going to be big! I bet you there were other guys in history that tried to get relationships named after them, but it didnt work. Yknow, I bet you there were guys who tried to do it, just went, Uh, Hi, uh my names Rico. Would you like to go to bed immediately? Hey, its a Riconic relationship.
|
MORTY
|
Ah, there he is!
|
JERRY

|
HELEN

Tomorrow well go to a hotel.
|
JERRY
|
Ma, will you stop?
|
HELEN
|
No, why should we take over your apartment?
|
JERRY
|
I dont care. Im sleeping next door.
|
HELEN
|
Your friend Kramer doesnt mind?
|
JERRY
|
No, hes making a bouillabaisse.
|
MORTY
|
Depends on the firm.
|
JERRY
|
Yeah, but if you called up and described someone, do you think they would know who it was?
|
MORTY
|
Whats the matter? You need a lawyer?
|
JERRY
|
No, I met someone at this party, and I know where she works, but I dont know her name.
|
MORTY
|
So why dont you ask someone who was at the party?
|
JERRY
|
Nah, the only one I could ask is Elaine, and I cant ask her.
|
HELEN
|
Why not?
|
JERRY
|
Because its complicated. Theres some tension there.
|
HELEN
|
Oh yeah, very alert. Warm person.
|
JERRY
|
Oh yeah, shes great.
|
HELEN
|
So, how come nothing materialized there?
|
JERRY
|
Well, its a tough thing to talk about uh. I dunno...
|
HELEN
|
I know what it was.
|
JERRY
|
You dont know what it was.
|
HELEN
|
So, what was it?
|
JERRY
|
Well, we fight a lot for some reason.
|
HELEN & MORTY
|
Oh, well...
|
JERRY
|
And there was a little problem with the physical chemistry.
|
HELEN
|
Well, I think shes a very attractive girl.
|
JERRY
|
Oh, she is, she absolutely is.
|
HELEN
|
I can see if there was a weight problem...
|
JERRY
|
No, its not that. It wasnt all one-sided.
|
HELEN
|
You know, you cant be so particular. Nobodys perfect.
|
JERRY
|
I know, I know...
|
HELEN
|
(hits Morty) Idiot. (to Jerry) So whore you looking for, Sophia Loren?
|
JERRY
|

|
JERRY
|
What are you two talking about? Look, Elaine just wasnt the one.
|
HELEN
|
And this other ones the one?
|
JERRY
|
I dunno, maybe...
|
MORTY
|
So ask Elaine there for her number.
|
JERRY
|
I cant. Shell get upset. I never talk about other women with her, especially this one tonight.
|
HELEN
|
How could you still see her if your not interested?
|
JERRY
|
Were friends.
|
MORTY
|
Doesnt sound like youre friends to me. If you were friends you'd-youd ask her for the number. Do you know where this other one works?
|
JERRY
|
Oh yeah.
|
MORTY
|
Go to the building. She goes out to lunch, doesnt she?
|
JERRY
|

MORTY
|
So, you stand in the lobby, by the elevator, and wait for her to come down for lunch.
