A bass line bounces and pops on the streets of New York City. High inside one of the city's numerous skyscraper height apartment complexes a man with an Eraserhead hair-do and a thrift-store bought button down shirt glides into the apartment of Jerry Seinfeld. The ominous applause of an invisible audience is heard. "Jerry!" He shouts as he slams the door shut with his hips. He holds a mysterious box in his hands. "Oh geez, what is it Kramer, I'm in the middle of something here." A sweater clad man with a jewfro going on responds. He turns to the couch where a stout bald man sits and says to him "So I'm telling you, she's pitching for the other team!" Mysterious laughter echoes through the living room. "Pitching for the other team? What does that even mean?" The man responds. "You know, she's batting for the other side." "Guys, guys. You gotta take a look at what I just found, in all places, in the garbage over at Rico's Diner" Kramer holds out the puzzle box. "Now, why are you bringing a garbage box into my apartment?" Jerry says exhasperated. Laughter is heard again. "It's like some sort of puzzle! I have no idea why anyone would throw it out! Besides, it was right on top of the garbage, it wasn't touching anything." "A-ha! So it's okay when HE takes something out of the garbage!" the man on the couch yells. "No one is saying it's okay to take things out of the garbage!" Jerry says exhasperated. "But no. It's really cool. I've been trying to solve it the whole way here. It's a lot of fun! You should try it Jerry!" Kramer holds it out to him. Jerry throws his hands up. "I don't want to touch the trash puzzle!" "Try the trash puzzle! Come on!" "I don't want to try it!" "George, why don't you try it?" "I've got other things to worry about!" George says crossing his arms. The laughter is heard again. "Fine, I'll solve it myself!" Kramer begins twisting the puzzle, and suddenly it clicks. The box opens and hooked chains fly out of it and latch themselves into his flesh. Smoke fills the room and he disappears. A bouncing bass line can be heard as the room fades to black.
