| Waitress:
|
Yeah, can I take your order?
|
| George: |
I'll check to the raiser |
| Jerry: |
My bet. All right. I'll open
with a tuna sandwich. |
| Elaine: |
Tuna? |
| Jerry: |
Oh, the dolphin thing? |
| Elaine: |
They're dying in the nets. |
| Jerry:
|
You know, the whole concept of
lunch is based on tuna. |
| Elaine: |
Jerry, can't you incorporate
one unselfish act in your daily routine? |
| Jerry:
|
Hey, when I'm driving, I let
people in ahead of me all the time. I'm always waving
everybody in. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. ... All right,
all right. I'll have the chicken salad. |
| Elaine: |
Um, and I'm going to have an
English muffin with margarine on the side and a cup of
coffee. |
| Waitress: |
OK, and how about you? |
| George: |
I'll have the tuna. |
