JERRY&#8217;S APARTMENT &#8211; LIVING ROOM &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p><em>Jerry sits on his couch, reading a newspaper. Elaine enters, looking excited.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (excited) Jerry, you won&#8217;t believe it! I found this amazing new restaurant downtown! The food is to die for.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (skeptical) Really, Elaine? You know how picky I am about food. What&#8217;s so special about this place?<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (enthusiastic) Well, the head chef is Poppie&#8217;s son! You remember Poppie, right?<\/p>\n<p><em>Jerry&#8217;s eyes widen in realization.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (alarmed) Poppie?! You mean the guy who couldn&#8217;t wash his hands properly and got shut down by the health department?<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (dismissively) Oh, come on, Jerry. That was ages ago. His son is a talented chef, and the food is supposed to be amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (reluctant) Elaine. Poppie was a little sloppy.<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (excited) Look, I already made a reservation for tonight! You should come with me and give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (hesitant) I don&#8217;t know, Elaine. I&#8217;d rather not risk my no vomit streak on it.<\/p>\n<h3>[INT. COSTCO &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p><em>Kramer and Jerry are strolling through the aisles of Costco. Kramer stops at a display of free samples and indulges in the mini meatballs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kramer: (enthusiastic) Oh, Jerry, you&#8217;ve got to try these meatballs! They&#8217;re a revelation!<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (rolling eyes) Kramer, you came with me to Costco just for the free samples?<\/p>\n<p>Kramer: (grinning) Why not, Jerry? It&#8217;s like a buffet of tiny delights! And they can&#8217;t kick me out for trying the free stuff!<\/p>\n<p><em>(The sample person is looking at Kramer with a side eye)<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>[INT. JERRY&#8217;S APARTMENT &#8211; LIVING ROOM &#8211; NIGHT]<\/h3>\n<p><em>Elaine returns from the restaurant, looking slightly pale. She tries to hide her discomfort from Jerry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (forcing a smile) Jerry, you should have been there. The food was incredible!<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (skeptical) Really? No food poisoning this time?<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (nervous laugh) Of course not, Jerry. It was perfect.<\/p>\n<p><em>Elaine rushes to the bathroom, clearly not feeling well.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>[COSTCO ENTRANCE &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p><em>Kramer, tries to enter Costco, but he is stopped at the door.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Costco Employee: Membership card sir?<\/p>\n<p>Kramer: Membership?<\/p>\n<p>Costco Employee: Yes, you need to be a member to enter this store.<\/p>\n<p>Kramer: (whines) But I&#8217;m hungry!<\/p>\n<h3>[INT. JERRY&#8217;S APARTMENT &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p><em>George enters, looking disheveled and carrying a bag of groceries.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (curious) George, what&#8217;s with the bag of groceries? Since when do you shop near here?<\/p>\n<p>George: (nervous) Well, Jerry, I&#8217;ve discovered this amazing food bank nearby. They give away free food, and it&#8217;s fantastic!<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (raising an eyebrow) Free food, George? You?<\/p>\n<p>George: (defensive) Hey, I&#8217;m on a budget, okay?<\/p>\n<h3>[INT. COSTCO &#8211; DELIVERY ENTRANCE &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p><em>Kramer, walks into Costco via the delivery entrance. An employee gives him the eye, but Kramer just waves and goes on his way.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kramer: (whispering to himself) You&#8217;re a genius Kramer. Now, on to the free samples.<\/p>\n<h3>[INT. JERRY&#8217;S APARTMENT &#8211; LIVING ROOM &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p>Elaine: (groaning) Jerry, I can&#8217;t take it anymore. Something&#8217;s not right. I have to see a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (concerned) It&#8217;s that restaurant food, isn&#8217;t it? I told you it was a bad idea. You probably need your stomach pumped.<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (weakly) Can you just give me a ride to the doctor, please?<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (sighs) All right.<\/p>\n<h3>[EXT. FOOD BANK &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p><em>George is standing in line at the food bank, waiting for his turn to collect groceries. His girlfriend Amanda just happens to walk by.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Amanda: (curious) George, I didn&#8217;t know you were struggling financially. Why didn&#8217;t you tell me?<\/p>\n<p>George: (stammering) Well, Amanda, you know how proud I am. I didn&#8217;t want you to worry about me.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: (supportive) George, you should&#8217;ve told me. We&#8217;re in this together.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>[INT. DOCTOR&#8217;S OFFICE &#8211; DAY]<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Elaine sits on the examination table as the DOCTOR examines her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Doctor: (concerned) Well, Elaine, it appears you have a case of food poisoning. Did you eat anything unusual recently?<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (sheepish) I went to a new restaurant downtown. I know the head chef. He is the son of the former owner of &#8220;Poppie&#8217;s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: (sighs) Poppie! I&#8217;ve familiar with him. He was a little sloppy. You might want to steer clear of that place.<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: Thanks for the tip. Can you help me?<\/p>\n<p>Doctor: Have you ever had your stomach pumped?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>[INT. COSTCO &#8211; DELIVERY ENTRANCE &#8211; DAY]<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Kramer continues his sneaky Costco sample raids, but the employees are now on high alert, watching for him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Costco Employee: (pointing) There he is! That guy again!<\/p>\n<p>Kramer: (Shoving free samples into his pockets) Who me?<\/p>\n<p><em>Kramer makes a run for it but gets cornered.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>[INT. JERRY&#8217;S APARTMENT &#8211; LIVING ROOM &#8211; EVENING]<\/h3>\n<p><em>Elaine is back from the doctor and she looks weak and tired.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (groaning) That restaurant, Jerry, it got me good. I can&#8217;t believe I ignored your warning.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry: (smirking) Well, at least you learned your lesson now.<\/p>\n<p>Elaine: (weakly) The doctor said it must have been the bisque.<\/p>\n<h3>[EXT. FOOD BANK &#8211; DAY]<\/h3>\n<p><em>Amanda and George finish collecting a bag of groceries and head outside.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>George: We will head to my place and I will cook you lunch. Then, well&#8230; (George grins) I need to stop at the bank machine first.<\/p>\n<p><em>George pauses at the machine and opens his wallet to take out his bank card. His wallet is clearly\u00a0full of bills.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Amanda: (pointing at his wallet) George, it looks like you have enough money to go to the market and buy your own food.<\/p>\n<p>George: Well, why should I spend my own money on food when it&#8217;s free at the food bank?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: (disgusted) Goodbye George.<\/p>\n<p>George: So no lunch then?<\/p>\n<h3>[INT.
