Season 8 ep 7 The Checks.
George goes and gets his coat.
GEORGE: Alright, I gotta go home and open up with the house for the carpet
cleaners. You know they're doing my whole place for twenty-five dollars.
KRAMER: Oh, no, no, no. Not the Sunshine Carpet Cleaners?
EGO: Yeah, you heard of 'em?
KRAMER: They're a crazy religious cult. The carpet cleaning is just a means
for them to get into your apartment.
GEORGE: So? For a twenty-five dollar cleaning, I can listen to some pointless
blather.
JERRY: I do it, I'm not even getting the cleaning.
[George's Apartment]
Three guys in bright yellow overalls stand in George's living room. Two of
them have a large carpet cleaner by the door, ready to leave, The third, the
leader, has a notebook.
CREW LEADER: (calling to George) We're pretty much finished.
George enters from another room.
CREW LEADER: There's just one more thing.
GEORGE: (smiling expectantly) Here it comes.
The leader opens his book and holds up a check.
CREW LEADER: (clears throat) You forgot to sign your check.
The leader hands George a pen, and waits as George appends his signature.
GEORGE: (signs) Sorry. (expectant) You're sure, uh, there isn't anything
else?
CREW LEADER: (flat) No.
The carpet cleaners begin to leave. George follows the leader toward the
door, looking disappointed.
GEORGE: (let down) So, that's it?
CREW LEADER: Unless you need a receipt.
GEORGE: (melancholy) I wish that was all needed. Life can be so confusing.
I..I'm searching for answers, anywhere.
CREW LEADER: (flat) Good luck with that.
The leader closes the door on a perplexed George.
George goes out into the hall with Wilhelm.
WILHELM: (puzzled) Uh, George, uh, did you call some carpet cleaners?
GEORGE: Are they here?
WILHELM: They're in my office, right now.
GEORGE: (suspicious) They haven't said anything to you, have they?
WILHELM: About what?
GEORGE: (to himself, resentful) What kind of a snobby, stuck-up, cult is
this?!
Behind the couch, two of the carpet cleaner people enter, including the
leader. They walk over to a corner. George notices them and stands.
GEORGE: (to the executives) Excuse me. Did you hire the Sunshine Carpet
Cleaners?
EXECUTIVE 1: Yes. Cleaned up the (points) coffee stain, left by Jerry
Seinfield.
Wilhelm enters, dressed in the same yellow overall as the other carpet
cleaners. George looks stunned.
GEORGE: Mr Wilhelm? Wha..what're you doing here?
WILHELM: I'm here to clean the carpets. Most of the world is carpeted. And,
one day, we will do the cleaning.
George lets this sink in, then slowly turns to the leader.
GEORGE: (incredulity) Him you brainwashed! (angry shout) What's he got that I
don't have?!
The leader shrugs, as if to say 'You work it out.'
GEORGE: (urgent) Mr Wilhelm, listen. You've been abducted! Please, Mr
Wilhelm, you gotta listen to me!
WILHELM: Wilhelm? (he raises the nozzle of his cleaner) My name is Tanya.
George purses his lips.
Only George would be offended for not getting into a cult
I just love the thought that even a cult doesn't want him haha
Only George would get rejected from a cult. 😂
RIP Richard Herd.
Played George's Supervisor with Yankees. Great actor.
Sympathies to family & friends.
Searching for answers.... good luck with that
My name is Tonya 🤦♂️🤣🤣💀
I never noticed this. George probably didn’t sign the check because he’s so cheap.
RIP Wilhelm
Rest in Peace Richard Herd.
"They're a crazy religious cult!" That's one of the funniest parts of the episode. :) "Hey, look at the great job we did cleaning the carpet. You could make a religion out of this!" XD
My carpet cleaning company is called Sunshine carpet and upholstery cleaners.😁😁😁
Most of the world is carpeted ... and one day, YOU will do the cleaning.
Clean up a coffee stain made by Jerry seinfield😊
Do you have an employee named Tanya
The shrug at 1:55 is one of my absolute favorite beats in the whole show. That’s a great shrug.
One of the weirdest stories they ever did. 🤣
Love the closing lines to this skit, I'll bet it's a nod to Fawlty Towers' "Don't mention the War" bit, one German asking the others "How ever did they win?".
Totally approve, a bridge between geniuses.
I doubt it. It's a pretty obvious observation.
You must go now.
You sound twelve.
I'm surprised they didn't charge him more since they didn't want to convert him...
The irony is that anybody asking to be brainwashed is too smart to be.
Or too dumb.
Who feels like George when they don't get sent a booster reminder letter?
Funny how George’s apartment appears neater, less cluttered and even cleaner than Jerry’s.
George's apartment is so small but the carpet cleaner still sent three people to clean the carpet.
Makes sense, given cleaning the carpet isn't usually the point and all.
My name is cotton for things that grow and bloom
I bet that at some point in his life Larry David tried to join a cult or religious group and got rejected
I believe the carpet cleaners were inspired by the Church Of Bible Understanding, a cult I was in , in the early '80s. We had a carpet cleaning company, Christian Brothers Carpet Cleaning, in the north eastern states and Montreal.
TV Tropes led me here.
I am not disappointed.
Which trope?
Check that, it was Aren't you going to ravish me?
LOL I feel just like George except I'm wondering why those annoying girls involved with MLMs and pyramid schemes are not sending me those annoying "hey hun wanna be a boss babe?" messages on social media. I'm like, am I not good enough to be recruited into your scams?! I'm a bit hurt!! (LOL love Seinfeld and love George)
Lol those MLMs are evil
"Most of the world is carpeted"
What about linoleum?
Russell Brand said he tried to get Tom Cruise to recruit him into his cult, but he wouldn’t. He was offended by the rejection, just like George. 😅
It’s funny two of the Asian actors were in another movie back in 1986 called gung ho about a Japanese automaker that comes to a small town in Pennsylvania.
Oh right, I forgot about that. Not surprising, though. Sab Shimano seemed to get cast in every Hollywood role for a stereotypical Japanese guy over 40. And Gedde Watanabe got cast for seemingly every stereotypical Japanese guy *under* 40.
Willhelm....my name is tanya 😊
My pastor told me about this episode we were talking about how he never gets Mormons at his door or how he never gotten any try to convert him
Do Mormons go door to door? Thought that was more of a Jehovah's Witnesses thing?
Does anyone know what they're spoofing when Mr. Wilhelm says his name is Tanya? Patty Hearst? or some action movie?
It was Patty Hearst; they called her Tania while she was kidnapped.
Hearst is right, and one tactic of cult brainwashing is to give people a new name with a new identity, while depriving them of the one they had before the cult.
@@robingroves5472 Interesting. I have no idea who Patty Hearst is but I still thought it was funny.
@@MeneTekelUpharsin Young zillionaire heiress of the Hearst newspaper empire in the 1970s. Got mixed up with a domestic terrorist group calling itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. Was seen in a still photo they released brandishing a rifle and wearing their "regalia," also participated in a bank robbery they committed, caught on bank security footage. At trial she claimed she was abducted and forced to work with them against her will. Others believe she was with them of her own free will. She was convicted at trial and sentenced to 7 years in prison, served about 2 I think. Was a HUGE national story in the mid-1970s.
@@robingroves5472 thanks for confirming! I looked this up to see if that was the connection Seinfeld was going for.
George is a lefty?
As is Jerry. Half the Beatles lefty, half of the Seinfeld "big 4" lefty lol.
@@VandelayIndustries61only Paul
@@emilianoferreyra3503 Ringo is lefty as well.
RIP!
i think this is the only one of the k man's whacky theories actually turned out to be true
1:03 Father Elijah!
