INT. JERRY’S APARTMENT – DAY
Steve: (excited): The Mets are back baby! The hottest team in baseball!
Jerry: (nodding) . It’s about time!
Steve: And guess what? I’m taking us all to Los Angeles on my private plane to see the Mets play the Dodgers!
[Kramer enters, wearing a Dodgers jersey and cap]
Kramer: Hey, guys! Ready for the big road trip?
Steve: (shocked) Kramer, you can’t wear that!
Kramer: (confused) Why not? I love the Dodgers!
Steve: Because we’re taking the Mets’ private plane! You can’t show up in Dodgers gear!
Jerry: Kramer, I thought you were a Mets fan. Aren’t you in the 7 Line Army?
Kramer: I like both teams. I’m bi-fanual.
Jerry: (raises eyebrows) Bi-fanual? What’s that supposed to mean?
Kramer: (gesturing enthusiastically) It means I’m a fan of both teams, Jerry. I appreciate the artistry and athleticism on both sides of the field. It’s a beautiful thing.
Steve: (intrigued) You know, Kramer might be onto something here. Maybe being bi-fanual is the future of sports fandom.
Jerry: (to Steve, incredulously) Don’t tell me you’re buying into this.
Steve: (shrugging) I’m just saying, it’s an interesting concept. Could be good for business, too. More fans means more ticket sales.
[Steve takes out his cell phone and dials the number of Chad, the Mets social media intern.]
Chad: (answering the phone) Mr. Steve! What’s up, boss?
Steve: Chad, I want you to send out a tweet from the Mets account about embracing bi-fanualism. The Mets welcome ALL fans.
Chad: . I’ll handle it, Mr. Steve.
Steve: Great! I’m counting on you, Chad.
INT. METS PRIVATE PLANE – DAY
Pete: (noticing Kramer) Hey, man, what’s with the Dodgers gear?
Kramer: (grinning) Oh, I’m just showing my appreciation for both teams. I’m a bi-fanual!
Pete: (intrigued) Bi-fanual? What’s that?
Kramer: It means no matter who’s playing. It’s all about the love of the game!
[Pete nods, considering the idea.]
Pete: You know what? I like that.
[Kramer and Pete continue chatting, hitting it off. Jerry and Elaine exchange surprised looks.]
Elaine: (to Jerry) Looks like Kramer’s made a new friend.
Jerry: (nodding) Yeah, who would’ve thought? Kramer and Pete, bonding over being bi-fanuals.
[As the plane lands in Los Angeles, Kramer and Pete are deep in conversation.]
Kramer: (excitedly) Hey Pete, have you ever tried wearing butter shoes?
Pete: (confused) Butter shoes? What are those?
Kramer: Oh, it’s a game-changer. You coat your shoes with butter, and it makes you slide faster on the field. I learned it from a Dominican guy named Jimmy.
Pete: (intrigued) Really? That sounds crazy, but if it works…
INT. METS PRIVATE PLANE – EVENING AT LAX
[Jerry is scrolling through his phone, while the plane taxis]
Jerry: (to Elaine) Take a look at this tweet from the Mets’ account!
Elaine: (leaning over to look) What does it say?
Jerry: (reading aloud) “It’s time to be a bi-fanual! Swing the bat from both sides of the plate at Citi Field!”
INT. DODGER STADIUM HALLWAY – NIGHT
[Jerry and Steve are walking through the hallway when Jerry notices a group of Japanese men approaching from the opposite direction.]
Jerry: (to Steve) Hey, aren’t those Ohtani’s agents?
Steve: (panicking) Oh no, they can’t see me here! Quick, can I hide behind you?
[Steve tries to duck behind Jerry, but it’s too late. The agents have already spotted him.]
Agent 1: (smiling politely) What a surprise to see you here at Dodger Stadium.
Steve: (nervously) Oh, hi guys! I’m just here to support the game, you know? I’m bi-fanual!
Agent 1: (smiling) We have no doubt.
Agent 2: It is always good to show support, even when your team attendance is… struggling.
Agent 1: (nodding) I am sure with your leadership, it will… improve.
[Jerry raises an eyebrow, sensing the backhanded nature of their comments.]
Agent 2: (smiling) We have no doubt that you’re doing your best. it must be challenging to compete with teams like the Dodgers.
Agent 1: (bowing) Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have some business to attend to.
Agent 2: As we are sure that you have some agents to call.
[The agents walk away, leaving Steve looking deflated]
Jerry: (to Steve) Wow, they really know how to throw a polite punch, don’t they?
Steve: (sighing) Yeah, that’s the Japanese style. Insult you with a smile.
As Jerry and Steve walk away, the Japanese agents overhear Steve’s comment about their “insult you with a smile” style.]
Agent 1: (in Japanese) Did you hear what he just said about us?
Agent 2: (in Japanese) How dare he mock our cultural communication style! After him!
INT. DODGER STADIUM – NIGHT
[The Mets and Dodgers are in the middle of an intense game. Pete steps up to the plate, wearing his butter shoes. Kramer is in the stands, cheering him on.]
Kramer: (shouting) Come on, Pete! Show them what those butter shoes can do!
[Pete nods to Kramer and gets ready to swing. The pitcher throws, and Pete hits a grounder towards third base.]
Gary: Pete hits a sharp grounder to third! He’s going to have to hustle to beat the throw.
[Pete starts running but immediately slips and falls due to the butter on his shoes. He tries to get up but keeps slipping comically.]
