The Pen Is Mightier Than the Plot on Seinfeld

FanReviews

Jerry and George are finally ready to start writing their television pilot. But before they can put a single word on paper, George discovers something deeply troubling about Jerry's choice of pens.  In this classic Seinfeld scene, George insists that a proper writing session requires the right stationery, while Jerry delivers a lecture about the importance of the mind over the tools. Unfortunately, Jerry's dedication to the creative process doesn't last long when George reminds him about a phone call to Elaine.  Watch Seinfeld for more classic moments with Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander as George Costanza.
