welcome to chin julie wong. in the episode of seinfeld titled library cop a library investigation's officer named lieutenant bookman visits jerry's apartment the visit occurs because according to library records jerry had had henry miller's tropic of cancer checked out since 1971. but according to jerry he returned it that same year. when he learns of the dilemma kramer is terrified. do you know how much that comes to? that's a nickel a day for 20 years. it's going to be $50,000. but when jerry corrects him, it doesn't work like that. kramer gives voice to a fear that would have sent chills through my body as a child. well if it's a dime a day, it's a hundred thousand dollars. when lieutenant bookman arrives on the scene he delivers perhaps the best monologue of the series. and i'm going to try to do it justice. well, let me tell you something funny boy. you know that little stamp the one that says new york public library. well that may not mean anything to you, but it means a lot to me. sure. go ahead laugh if
