Elaine: So anyway, I stood up to shake her hand, then suddenly I lost my balance and I fell right into her.
Jerry: You fell on her?
Elaine: I touched them.
Jerry: You what?
Elaine: I... touched... them.
Jerry: You touched them?!
Elaine: I needed them to help me break my fall! If it hadn't been for them, I could have really injured myself!
