Jerry: Hey, so where's my sneakers?
Kramer: That's what I wanna know.
Jerry: What do you mean?
Kramer: Well, I saw Mom and Pop this morning, but when I went by the store on my way home? The place was empty. Everything is gone. Mom and Pop... vanished.
Jerry: So all my sneakers are gone?
Kramer: I'm afraid so. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I've been asking around. They didn't even have any kids.
Jerry: Mom and Pop aren't even a Mom and Pop?!
Kramer: It was all an act, Jerry. They conned us, and they scored, big time.
Elaine: So. Mom and Pop's plan was to move into the neighborhood, establish trust for 48 years. And then, run off with Jerry's sneakers.
Kramer: Apparently.
