Interior of Elaine’s apartment
She enters carrying a bag of groceries. She sets them down on the counter and goes over to check her messages. It is message number 1, George.
George <on answering machine>: Hi Elaine its George, I was wondering-
Elaine pushes the button on the machine to skip to the next message. Her sisters voice rings out in the room
Sister: Hi Elaine its Holly. I just got my test results back from the hospital today and I have to go back in a few days to the hospital again. Anyway I was wondering if you could watch Dara for me for a few weeks or so? I’d really appreciate it get back to me.
Elaine is thinking while frowning, ‘I can’t watch a 4 year old kid for a few weeks, even if she is my niece.’ Elaine’s frown turns into a thoughtful look ‘then again, I could be cool Aunt Elaine. Well it has a certain ring to it’ She picks up the phone
Elaine: Hi Holly Elaine here. Yeah I can watch Dara for a while.
George is hitting on a girl on a park bench in Central Park. He is smiling and nodding at her comments.
Just then the lady sees a man off to the side, talking to his little boy. She watches the two for a few moments before telling George
Lady: Excuse me
She walks over to the man and the child and starts to talk to them. George sees that it is all over for him. He wonders what it is about little children that make women so attracted to them.
Interior of Jerry’s apartment, Jerry and Kramer are talking.
Kramer: I gotta find a job Jerry, I just gotta.
Jerry <while looking at the Classified adds>: Heres a job as a desk clerk.
Kramer: No no, to boring
Jerry: Well how about this one, it’s a position as a mail carrier.
Kramer: no to much work
Jerry: Newmans one, so it cant be that much work. How about a plumber?
Kramer: To much work
Jerry gets frustrated and lowers the newspaper
Jerry: How about this job as an elephant manager?
Kramer: Oh I like the sound of that
Jerry puts the newspaper on the table and walks over to the counter
Jerry: There is no such thing as an elephant manager!
Kramer: Well are you sure? Somebody’s gotta keep those elephants in line.
Jerry sighs as he hears the intercom go off. He pushes the button
Jerry: Yeah
George: Its me
Jerry: Yeah come on up.
He then pushes the button to ring George in.
Kramer: I hear that you get good life insurance if you work at the zoo. <he frowns> then again most of the life insurance at the zoo goes towards those working with venomous snakes. <he smiles> I could be the American Crocodile Hunter.
George enters shacking his head
George: I can’t figure it out.
Jerry: I’m almost afraid to ask, what is wrong?
George: I was hitting on this gorgeous woman down at the park. Then she left me for some guy with a kid.
Jerry: Yep that will do it for ya
George: Why? What do women see in little kids? They’re like us but only with more screw ups. They can’t even use the bathroom by themselves they need dippers. Why would anyone want to change some big plastic dipper filled with poop is beyond me.
Jerry shrugs
Kramer walks up to George and speaks with an Australian accent
Kramer: Hey Mite.
George looks confused
George: What the hell is wrong with you?
Jerry: Don’t ask
George shrugs
George: Alright
The intercom buzzes again as Jerry answers it
Jerry: Yeah?
Elaine: Its Elaine
Jerry: Come on up
Jerry buzzes her in
Kramer <to George>: Did you know every time the Crocodile Hunter gets bitten his ratings go up?
George: Yeah, people want to see him get killed
Jerry: No, we aren’t that lucky.
Elaine enters
Elaine: You’re looking at cool Aunt Elaine <She smiles>
George: What?
Elaine: My sister Holly called and wanted to know if I could watch her kid for a few weeks.
Jerry: And you said…
Elaine: Hell yeah why not? This is my chance to be cool to someone.
George: You’re certainly not cool to us.
Elaine throws him a nasty look
George: Well I’d better go
Kramer: Yeah let me come, I should go ask Newman if he has any idea.
Jerry: Why you would want to listen to Newman is beyond me.
Kramer: He has Twinkies at his apartment. <he licks his lips> They’re delicious.
George and Kramer exit
Jerry: What in the world possessed you with the idea to take on another life form?
Elaine: Cool aunt Elaine sounds to good to pass up.
Jerry: Do you even know how to take care of another person?
Elaine: How hard could it be? <walks over to the fridge and takes out a bottle of water> You just have to make sure they don’t kill themselves for a few days. <she looks at her watch> I gotta go. I’m meeting Holly at the airport in a half an hour.
Jerry: alright
Elaine exits. Jerry grabs a bowl of popcorn as he makes his way over to the tv. He turns it on

Kramer: That must have been from the kids. I gave them beans for lunch and they were just going everywhere then.
Jerry: Yuck, didn’t you change them?
Kramer: Are you kidding? I used the febreeze spray in the bathroom; it is now my best friend. You know it must be a nightmare to have a real family.
Jerry: Go take your smell somewhere else.
Kramer shrugs, grabs some stuff from the fridge and leaves.

Dara: Emily!!
She looks down to see that the crocodile looks like it is going to eat Emily for lunch. Horrified Dara looks around for anything that she can use to get Emily out of the tub. Dara notices a sharp knife on the counter. She grabs the knife and climbs into the tub to attacks the stuffed crocodile.
A few minutes later the stuffed crocodile is all torn apart and little bits of stuffing are floating around in the tub. Dara starts crying and sure enough Kramer comes in. He looks horrified. He reaches in and pulls Dara out of the tub.
Kramer: What did you do? Do you know how much Elaine’s going to kill me for this?
Hallway outside of the apartment
Mothers start arriving to pick up their children. The doorbell rings and a child opens the door. The mothers smell the awful stench of Kramer’s apartment. One mother grabs her son by the arm.

Son: Yeah!

Elaine turns: Why thank you-
She sees how handsome he is.

Elaine: Oh give it up George.
Madelyn: What is going on here George?
Elaine: I’ll tell you what. George what’s your daughters name?
George: Uh…..uh
Elaine: Her birthday is?
George <shrugs>: Today?
Elaine to Madelyn: This is my sister’s daughter. My sister wanted me to take care of her daughter for a few weeks. George just saw you and thought that if he pretended to have a daughter you’d like him.
