What do you mean bald?

George has started wearing a toupee and Elaine and Jerry think that it looks ridiculous. Kramer thinks that it looks good and he tells George that he knows a gorgeous woman, Denise, who has just moved to New York and that she wants to meet some people. He tells George that he is going to set up an introduction. George says to Elaine and Jerry - you can laugh all you want but with my personality and this head of hair, do you know what I am now? I’m in the game; I no longer defer to the coif. I’m a player. George calls Denise and sets up to meet her at the restaurant. Jerry asks George if he described himself to her. He says that he did. Jerry asks if he told her about his “little hat”. George didn’t. Jerry thinks that he should tell her. Kramer disagrees and says George’s toupee is a perfect fit. George meets Denise, who is wearing a hat and coat, at the restaurant. They exchange pleasantries and George jokes with her to take off her hat and stay awhile.

Funniest scene:

Elaine is already at Jerry’s apartment when George enters. Jerry asks what happened with Denise? Could she detect it? George says that that’s an interesting question. Jerry asks how so? George calmly responds – How so? I’ll tell you how so. He then yells - She’s bald! Elaine laughs and asks – What do you mean bald? George shouts – How do think I mean bald? Bald. Bald-Bald. Then Jerry asks – She’s bald? George repeats – She’s bald, Jerry. Elaine, still finding it hard to believe, says - Oh, come on. George says – Oh, come on. No come on. She took off her hat and there she was “Hello” (he waves his hand over the top of his head). It was like looking at myself in the mirror. Elaine says – Well, maybe she got a haircut or something. George says – Let me tell you something. No one walks into a beauty parlor and says, “Give me the Larry Fine”. Jerry, still in disbelief, asks – Women go bald? Elaine responds – Yeah, I’ve heard of that, but they usually wear a wig. Kramer enters the apartment. George immediately turns to him and says - You fixed me up with a bald woman. Kramer says – Bald? George says – Yeah, that’s right. Then Elaine says to George - Do you see what’s wrong here? You’re rejecting someone because they’re bald. George looks at Jerry and then back to Elaine and says – So? Elaine screams in George’s face – You’re bald! George calmly responds – No, I’m not. I was bald (and touches Elaine’s nose with his index finger). Elaine tries to grab George’s toupee off his head but George blocks her advance and runs for the door. She catches him and yanks his toupee off his head and runs to an open window. George is screaming – No! No! No! Elaine raises the window blind and screams – I don’t like this thing and here’s what I’m doing with it. George is screaming – Stop! Stop! Elaine throws the toupee out the window and as George reaches the window the blind comes down on his head.
