Ukraine is game to you!? (Seinfeld scene w/ Kramer & New

This deserves its own thread. Kramer and Newman play Risk on the subway because neither of them trust the other to leave the board alone. Hilarity ensues.

I think somewhere on this site there's someone called ukraine_is_weak or some such. I lol'ed.

by **casper** on Wed Feb 28, 2007 3:28 am

Yeah I think I played him too. Heh there are two actually. ukraineisweak and Ukraine-is-weak. Earlier in the episode. (Full script here.)

(More pounding. Jerry opens the door and Kramer backs in carrying a board game.)
KRAMER: Where can I put this?
JERRY: What is it?
KRAMER: It's Risk, Jerry. The game of world conquest. (brushing newspapers off the table with his foot and setting the game board down) Alright, that's perfect.
(Newman walks in.)
JERRY: Kramer, why do you have to (noticing Newman) Hello, Newman.
NEWMAN: Hello, Jerry. Will he take it? I gotta go to work.
JERRY: Take what?
KRAMER: The board, Jerry. We've been playing at Newman's for six hours but he's gotta go.
JERRY: So why don't you leave it at Newman's?
NEWMAN: I wanted to, he won't let me.
KRAMER: We have to put the board in a neutral place where no one will tamper with it.
JERRY: So that's here?
KRAMER: Yes, yes. You're like Switzerland.
JERRY: I don't wanna be Switzerland.
KRAMER: Jerry, Newman and I are engaged in a epic struggle for world domination. It's winner take all. People cannot be trusted.
NEWMAN: Don't look at me.
KRAMER: Oh, I'm looking right at you, big daddy.
JERRY: Alright, soldier boys, let's fall out.
KRAMER: Alright, so you're gonna look after it?
JERRY: Yeah, yeah.
KRAMER: Stay strong buddy.
JERRY: Yeah.
KRAMER: Watch it good.
JERRY: Ok.
(Kramer leaves, Elaine enters.)

That epsiode is the reason I found CC! I was watching Sienfeld one night, saw that episode, and the next day I says to me self, "Self, Risk is a fun game. I wonder if they have it online."

One google trip later I am found here. I love this site and the players on it! Thank you Sienfeld!

Whenever a few of my friends and I play together, there always seems to be some mad dash for Ukraine, simply so whoever owns it can say 'The Ukraine will crush you!'

Also our gaming hours seem to be filled with other memorable Seinfeld quotes and scenes.
