That would be "The Phone Message". My favorite part of that episode is when George calls to explain about the coffee incident, but he gets the answering machine and just starts to babble:

GEORGE: Uhm, hi, it's George, George Costanza, remember me? The guy that didn't come up for coffee. You see, I didn't realise that coffee didn't really mean ... well, whatever. Anyway, it was fun. It was, erm, it was fun, so, oh boy, uhm, so, you call me back. If you want, it's up to you, you know, whatever you wanna do. Either way. The ball's in your court. So, er, take it easy.

Hehe, I love how he just keeps rambling on. ;-)

You can read the script at The News Guy (Mike)'s Seinfeld page: http://www.geocities.com/tnguym/scripts/ThePhoneMessage.html

He rambles on in such a manner that you know he is saying to himself, "shut up, shut up, end the call!" but being George, he just continues. Very funny!
