HELP! I have been racking my brain trying to remember George's "witty comeback" that took him across country to deliver. I remember him eating a huge bowl of shrimp.

The line was something like, "I went to the ____ store and they were all out of you!"

The gang all said it wasn't funny and and the recipient of the line had another good retort about the shrimp eating.

Can someone please give me the dialog that led up to the comeback, the actual comeback line, and the retort when he uses it? Thanks!

Also, what episode did this come from (number, season, etc.)

Thanks again!

Season 9

"The Comeback" #139

Other guy says while George is scarfing a whole lot of shrimp:

"Hey George, the ocean called, they're running out of shrimp!"

George didn't have a comeback then, so later he comes up with this after catching up with the Other guy. George orders more shrimp so the Other guy can do the same zinger.

Other guy: "Hey George...." (George stops eating and stares in total anticipation) "....the ocean called, they're running out of shrimp!" George: "Oh yeah, well the JerkStore called, they're running out of you!" Other guy: "What's the difference? You're their best seller! Hahahaha!!" George: "Oh yeah!! Well i had sex with your wife!"

the line the guy first uses on george is when he is eating a lot of shrimp he says "george the ocean called theyre running out of shrimp." george thinks of a comeback later and he travels to cleveland where he says to the guy "the jerkstore called theyre running out of you." the guy retorts" it doesnt matter because youre their number one seller." George replies "I had sex with your wife" which was kramers idea. �yeah,baby� wrote in message ...

Everyone laughs

GEORGE "Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called, they're running out of you!"

MAN "Yeah? But it doesn't matter, you're their all time best seller."

Everyone laughs.

GEORGE "Yeah?! Well I had sex with your wife!"

No one laughs. The boss aproaches George and whisperes. "His wife's in a coma."

== Can't remember the episode name or the season but that's the conversation :)
