Elaine: [on the phone] Is Noreen there?
Kramer: Yes, she is.
Elaine: Well, can I talk to her?
Kramer: What, am I too boring for you?
Elaine: Would you just put her on?
Kramer: Well, I feel it would be best that you didn't talk to Noreen for a while.
Elaine: You feel?
Kramer: That's right. She and I have had a very long talk. And I was appalled to learn of the destructive influence you've had over her life lo these many years.
Elaine: What, are you insane?
Kramer: From now on, I'll be calling the shots.
Elaine: Oh. And what are you gonna tell her?
Kramer: Well, I've encouraged her to go back into the army. There she'll get the structure and discipline she needs right now. And she'll have qualified officers telling her what to do.
Elaine: Kramer, you have got to let me talk to her.
Kramer: Can't help you, kid.
