What is this, a Seinfeld episode?

Jerry: "How'd the date go last night?"

Elaine: "Ugh, total bust! We spent the whole time arguing about calamari!"

Jerry: "Arguing about calamari? Like fried squid?"

Elaine gestures there you go

George: "It's deep fried, what's not to like?"

Elaine: "He doesn't even know what it is!"

Jerry: "Never had calamari? What a sad life..."

Kramer enters. Applause.

Elaine: "Kramer. What's calamari?"

Kramer: "Disgusting. That's what it is."

Jerry: "We're not talking about the same calamari here."

Kramer: "It's like chewing on rubber bands!"

Jerry: "You're not still going to Bosco's are you?"

Kramer: "I like Bosco."

George: "Didn't the health board shut them down?"

Kramer: "That's how you know it's authentic."

Elaine: "Can we get back to my problem, please?"

Jerry: "I'll tell you what, let's all go out. Elaine, you can bring you can bring your boyfriend. I'll show you all what calamari is supposed to taste like."

Elaine: "Well, do the have caviar?"

Jerry: "Caviar? What am I made of money? Why caviar?"

Elaine: "That's what he thinks calamari is!"

George: "Did you correct him?"

Elaine: "Yes, George, I corrected him. I corrected him for 45 minutes!"

Kramer: "Well why didn't you just order the calamari and show him?"

Elaine: "We were at a coffee shop."

Kramer: "Oh, they don't serve calamari at coffee shops."

Elaine: "...I know. I didn't expect to have to defend the reality of what calamari is when we made the date."
