JERRY: Oh, hey Elaine. ELAINE: Jer, I need to borrow $20. JERRY: $20? ELAINE: I need groceries. I’m short this week. JERRY [snarky]: You’re short every week. ELAINE [annoyed]: Are you gonna lend it to me or not? JERRY: I dunno, Lanie. I’m not an ATM. ELAINE: Fine. Then I’m raiding your fridge. JERRY: Whatever, Kramer. ELAINE [whining]: Just lend me $20! JERRY: Fine. [Takes out wallet, removes $20.] Here. ELAINE: Thank you. JERRY [inquisitive]: So… what are you going to buy with my… $20? ELAINE: What, you want a list? JERRY: I think I deserve a list. ELAINE [aggressive]: You really want a list? JERRY: Yes. ELAINE [shoving JERRY]: Here’s your list, you big hipster DOOFUS!
