GEORGE: See, this should be a card. This is the card.

JERRY: What?

GEORGE: This. Just a non-existent form of money that we make up. Call it "cryptocurrency".

JERRY: (dismissing) Yeah, right.

GEORGE: I'm really serious. I think that's a good idea.

JERRY: A non-existent form of money that no one issues and no government backs? Well what's it about?

GEORGE: It's about nothing.

JERRY: No real money?

GEORGE: No, forget the real money.

JERRY: You've got to have something to back a currency.

GEORGE: Who says you gotta have that?

JERRY: And who supports this money? What does it look like?

GEORGE: I could be on the coin

JERRY: You?

GEORGE: Yeah. You could base a coin on me.

JERRY: So, there's a coin showing George Costanza?

GEORGE: Yeah. There's something wrong with that? I'm a character. People are always saying to me, "You know you're a quite a character."

JERRY: And who else is on a coin?

GEORGE: Elaine could be a coin. Kramer...

JERRY: Now he's a coin. (Pause) So everybody I know gets to be on a coin?

GEORGE: Right.

JERRY: And it's a currency that doesn't exist and is backed by no one and nothing?

GEORGE: Absolutely nothing.

JERRY: So you're saying, I go in to Topps, and tell them I got this idea for a card about coin that is nothing.

GEORGE: We go into Topps.

JERRY: "We"? Since when are you a writer?

GEORGE: (Scoffs) Writer. We're talking about a baseball card maker.

JERRY: You want to go with me to Topps?

GEORGE: Yeah. I think we really got something here.

JERRY: What do we got?

GEORGE: An idea.

JERRY: What idea?

GEORGE: An idea for the card set.

JERRY: I still don't know what the card is about.

GEORGE: It's about nothing.

JERRY: Right.

GEORGE: Everybody's doing something, we'll do nothing.

JERRY: So, we go into Topps, we tell them we've got an idea for a card about nothing.

GEORGE: Exactly.

JERRY: They say, "What's your card about?" I say, "Nothing."

GEORGE: There you go.

(A moment passes)

JERRY: (Nodding) I think you may have something there.
