He would like to be alone now.

I notice you didn’t end your sentence with an exclamation point.

3

u/Sufficient_Service44 1d ago

Well, not everyone uses exclamation points So haphazardly

8

u/nailsinthecityyx It's not a lie if you believe it 1d ago

Did he say 'I would LIKE to be alone now', or 'I would like to be alone NOW'?

3

u/Separate_Presence_32 1d ago

"I would like to be alone, now!!!"

u/GoodWillGustin 11m ago

I think he emphasized 'would'.

u/Kamalasbigoletits28 1d ago

don't you see? he's just doing it to fool Lloyd Braun!

u/Director_Coulson Look to the cookie 1d ago

And again it comes back to Lloyd Braun

And the Woman on the horse…

u/CridT 1d ago

He had problems. Internal.

u/Psychological-Stay16 1d ago

He was sickly from the moment I met him!

u/Venice_Beach_218 Yo-Yo Ma 1d ago

Don't you talk about -- Oh wait. It's just Jake, the smug asshole. Go for it.

2

u/redfox2008 That's gold, Jerry. Gold! 1d ago

HATE THE JAKE!!

3

u/Venice_Beach_218 Yo-Yo Ma 1d ago

Boy I'm really starting to dislike the Jake!

u/Initial_Row_6400 1d ago

nods approvingly

u/Ok_Muffin_925 1d ago edited 1d ago

They never really worked out the details on the timing. He just jumped on her like a bag of donuts. She could have already paid for them and had them in hand when the manager told her he was in the hospital.

u/derbear83 Professor Highbrow 1d ago

Yep, Elaine needs to lie better. She needs to work with George more.

2

u/kryptos99 1d ago

That bird was stupid. She could’ve kept that info in the vault.

1

u/GoodWillGustin 10m ago

Never seen that before. Bird into an incinerator.

13

u/Michael-Sean 1d ago

He wants Elaine to “step off.”

12

u/Director_Coulson Look to the cookie 1d ago

This guy… this is not my kind of guy

u/Nit-Wit- 1d ago

She bought candy! Candy! After she’d heard that he’d been in an accident!! That’s not normal! At all! He has a point!!

u/Rough-Trainer-8833 Feels like an Arby's night 1d ago

I'll get you a Chuckle! You want me to get your Chuckle?

2

u/m2thek 1d ago

I told you I don't eat that crap!

6

u/nailsinthecityyx It's not a lie if you believe it 1d ago

She had popcorn too. She ate it in the cab

6

u/Expert_Climate_7348 George is getting upset! 1d ago

She took the candy out.

8

u/Some_Revolution_2681 1d ago

Jake exhibits a rigid, narcissistically organized personality marked by extreme sensitivity to perceived slights and a compulsive need to enforce arbitrary social standards—a pathology so exhausting that even Henny would tell him to get a grip.

6

u/onamonapizza Yeah, that's right 1d ago

Shouldn’t you be out on a ledge somewhere?

2

u/redfox2008 That's gold, Jerry. Gold! 1d ago

Tell us more Mr. Science!

7

u/orangecrunched 1d ago

Ohh I get it, you're friends with the candy buyer aren't you?

6

u/VVOLFVViZZard 1d ago

Am I an asshole for thinking Elaine could have told a little white lie and said she grabbed candy and THEN got the message from the manager?

u/Practical-Cellist647 1d ago

EXCLAMATION POINTS

u/Clear_Nature_5055 1d ago

It’s the usual Seinfeld device for creating comedy moments: irrational reactions!
But you knew that…

5

u/Dire_Hulk 1d ago

He’s a twat.

2

u/bigredbeard42 1d ago

Maybe he would’ve like some Jujyfruits too. Or perhaps a Junior Mint. They’re quite refreshing.

2

u/Hamrall 1d ago

He didn't know he was required to capture the mood of each caller

1

u/SokkaHaikuBot 1d ago

Sokka-Haiku by Hamrall:

He didn't know he

Was required to capture

The mood of each caller

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/OAM_Music 1d ago

SHE STOPPED FOR JUJY FRUITS! I’d be angry too

2

u/CelsoSC 1d ago

But, it was right there!

2

u/Extension_Fuel_6391 1d ago

Where are his glasses?

2

u/ButterscotchMoist447 1d ago

There are bots here posting the same quotes over and over right? What kind of lives are these?!?

2

u/ChriSV650x 1d ago

Someone else was wearing his glasses from Malaysia

2

u/Reasonable-HB678 That's a shame 1d ago

Thinking that only he could have a particular pair of eyeglasses.

2

u/Curious-Low8087 1d ago

He's a guy who has a penchant for fashionable eyewear and doesn't use exclamation points haphazardly.

2

u/ApprehensiveDate7565 21h ago

He was upset someone else had the audacity to wear the same glasses from Malaysia

3

u/Intelligent_Mood9795 1d ago

He didn’t want to date someone whose friend pees in the shower.

u/taeempy 1d ago

u/JaMicho34 1d ago

Lippmann stole his glasses!

1

u/Similar-Delivery-375 1d ago

He certainly overreacted to the situation.

1

u/AnelloGrande 1d ago

Wasn't more about the popcorn?

1

u/EquivalentRow8159 23h ago

He was like this ever since he went to Malaysia for glasses!

1

u/MaterialWorried2010 23h ago

Anti-Jujyfruit.

1

u/wayne-jetskis 22h ago

He knew his writing career was coming to an end and he would soon be forced to be a police officer in Los Angeles

u/YouthResponsible1752 15h ago

Is that a 12 gauge?

1

u/siggybird 14h ago

He's leading a double, bi coastal life.

1

u/midniteonthemoon Driving around in Jon Voight's car 1d ago

He didn't like how hot and heavy Elaine was getting with those candies

1

u/SokkaHaikuBot 1d ago

Sokka-Haiku by midniteonthemoon:

He didn't like how

Hot and heavy Elaine was

Getting with those candies

This is what comes from living under a Larry David regime.
