The fruits of George's dementia

Jerry is now dating Sandi and Elaine brings it to his attention that she never laughs. On his next date with her, he is cracking one joke after another and Sandi doesn’t laugh but only says that what he says is funny. Jerry decides that he can’t be with someone who doesn’t laugh. Jerry meets Laura, Sandi’s roommate, who not only laughs at his jokes, but also is attractive. Jerry tells George that he wants to try the “roommate switch”. George insists that it can’t be done, but Jerry wants to try anyway and George is finally coerced into helping. After many hours of strategizing, they both agree that it can’t be done. As George is leaving the Jerry’s apartment, he has a moment of genius and he presents Jerry with his “manage-a-trois” plan. George insists that Sandi will be so repulsed by the idea, and Laura will be so flattered by the idea, that Jerry will be dropped by Sandi and will be able to start dating Laura. Jerry asks Sandi if she is interested in manage-a-trois and Sandi thinks it’s a wild idea.

Funniest scene:

George asks Jerry if he called Sandi about the manage-a-trois and how did it go. Jerry says that, in fact, he went to her apartment. George asks if she threw him out. Jerry says no, in fact she took it pretty well. She’s into the manage-a-trois and the roommate is into it too. Smiling broadly and very excited, George shouts that that’s unbelievable. Jerry doesn’t share George’s excitement and sarcastically responds that it’s a scene, man. George, still very excited, asks Jerry – do you ever just get down on your knees and thank God that you know me and have access to my dementia. Amazed, Jerry asks George what he’s talking about; he has no intention of doing it. George screams at Jerry, you’re not going to do it; what do you mean you’re not going to do it? Jerry says that he can’t; he’s not an orgy guy. George screams – are you crazy? This is like discovering Plutonium by accident. Jerry is very worried. He asks George – don’t you know what it means to be an orgy guy? It changes everything. I have to dress different. I have to act different. I’d have to grow a mustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions; new bedspread, new curtains, thick carpeting, and weirdo lighting, plus I’d have to get new friends, I’d have to get orgy friends. No, I’m not ready for it. George says if only something like that could happen to me. Jerry says – oh, shut up, you couldn’t do it either. George says – I know.
