Jerry: She literally said, “life is like a box of chocolates”?
George: Yes, she said, “you never know what you’re gonna get.”
Jerry: “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”?
George: Word for word.
Jerry: They have a card in them…
George: They have a menu.
Jerry: Right, the little menu card! So you know exactly what you’re getting.
George: I told her that.
Jerry: So what did you do?
George: I took that box of chocolates and I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I’d just run across the Upper West Side. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I’d just run across Manhattan. And that’s what I did. I ran clear across Manhattan. For no particular reason I just kept on going.
A Seinfeld reenactment of other famous movie scenes would be hilarious.

In my head I’m hearing George increasingly yelling his lines in this and it’s great.
I toyed with the reverse scenario: Lt Dan taking Forrest and Jenny to meet the Shrimp Nazi
I’d fuck with The Wizard of Oz where Elaine is Dorothy, Kramer is the Scarecrow, Jerry is the Tin Man, and George is the Cowardly Lion.
I am also old, and remember that cover of rolling stone
Bugger. I’ve never seen this before, but given how seamless the idea is, I’m glad someone else made something of it.
100%. Newman as the wicked witch, J Peterman or maybe Frank Costanza as the Wizard. Something offensive about Mickey being a munchkin.
Edit: no, Steinbrenner has to be the wizard, right?
The Soup Nazi as the gatekeeper?
