You know, I used to think that the universe is a random, chaotic sequence of meaningless events, but I see now that there is reason and purpose to all things.

What happened to you?

Jerry

Religion, my friend, that's what happened to me. Because, I have just been informed that it's going to cost Elaine the sum of five thousand dollars to get the apartment upstairs.

George

(jubilant) Five thousand dollars? She doesn't have five thousand dollars!

Jerry

Of course she doesn't have five thousand dollars!
