Elaine

Well, why do I need your permission?

Jerry

Because he's my butler.

George

(eager) So? What d'you think?

George

Ah. You see, the man who was the butler, uh, had gotten into a car accident with Jerry, and because he didn't have any insurance, the judge decreed that the man become Jerry's butler.

Jerry

No. That's what makes it such a humorous situation.
