Jerry: Me and Kramer...
[fantasy: Jerry is reading on his couch when Kramer enters the apartment:]
Kramer: Hey, buddy. I thought of a great invention for driving. A periscope in a car, so you can see the traffic.
Jerry: How you gonna drive when looking through a periscope? Besides which, it's not a submarine. There's no room for a periscope in a car.
Kramer: Huh! You make a higher roof.
Jerry: They're not making higher roofs.
Kramer: Well, why can't you make a higher roof?
Jerry: Because it's a stupid idea. No one's gonna go for it. Don't you understand? It's stupid. It's stupid...
[reality: Jerry is about to walk out into the street]
Jerry: Stupid , stupid.
Jeannie: Hey! Hey! Look out. [pulls Jerry back] Are you okay?
Jerry: Yeah! Thanks. Oh, my God, you saved my life.
Jeannie: Shouldn't there be some kind of reward for that?
