ELAINE: Tell me if you think this is strange: There's this guy
who lives in my building, who I was introduced to a couple of years
ago by a friend. He's a teacher, or something.
Anyway, after we met, whenever we'd run into each other
on the street, or in the lobby, or whatever, we would stop and we
would chat a little.. Nothing much. Little pleasantries. He was a nice guy, he's got a family..
then after a while, I noticed there was not more stopping. Just
saying hello and continuing on our way.
And then the verbal hellos stopped, and we just went into these
little sort of nods of recognition. So, fine. I figure, that's where
this relationship is finally gonna settle: polite nodding.
Then one day, he doesn't nod. Like I don't exist?!
He went from nods to nothing.
GEORGE: (imitating Tony Bennett) "You know, I'd go from nods
to nothing.."
ELAINE: And now, there's this intense animosity whenever we pass.
I mean, it's like we really hate each other. It's based on nothing.
JERRY: A relationship is an organism. You created this thing and
then you starved it so it turned against you. Same thing happened
to The Blob.
GEORGE: I think you absolutely have to say something to this guy.
Confront him.
ELAINE: Really?
GEORGE: Yes.
ELAINE: You would do that?
GEORGE: If I was a different person.
