George tells Jerry about breaking up with Marlene in her kitchen and admits the location made the conversation particularly risky with all those knives nearby. When Marlene starts crying George has to convince himself not to give in.

In “The Ex-Girlfriend” George describes the breakup like a prison escape complete with a twisted ankle searchlights and one desperate run for the wall.

00:04I'm out of here! I did it! It's over!
00:06You did it? What happened?
00:07I told her! In the kitchen, which was risky, because it's near all the knives.
00:13I started with the word, listen. I said,
00:15Uh-huh.
00:17Listen, Marlene. And the next thing I know, I'm in the middle of it.
00:20And there's this voice inside of me going,
00:21You're doing it! You're doing it!
00:23And then she started to cry.
00:25And I weakened a little bit. I almost relented.
00:27But the voice, Jerry, the voice said, Keep going! Keep going! You're almost out!
00:31It's like I was making a prison break, you know?
00:34And I'm heading for the wall, and I trip, and I twist my ankle,
00:37And they throw that light on you, you know?
00:40So, somehow, I get through the crying, and I keep running.
00:44Then the cursing started.
00:46She's firing at me from the guard tower.
00:48Son of a bang! Son of a boom!
00:51I get to the top of the wall, the front door.
00:54I open it up. I'm one foot away.
00:55I take one last look around the penitentiary, and I jump!
