One of the most memorable "Seinfeld" scenes almost didn't happen. In a recent interview, Jerry Seinfeld shared interesting tidbits about a fifth season episode, "The Marine Biologist." The episode concludes with a long, hilarious speech delivered by George Costanza, played by Jason Alexander. The speech he gives is his telling of the story of how he saved a dying beached whale after he was sent into the ocean by Diane, a woman he was seeing who was under the impression he was a marine biologist and qualified to help.
The speech, which includes many memorable "Seinfeld" lines like "At that moment, I was a marine biologist," "The sea was angry that day, my friends" and "I said easy big fella," was a last-minute addition, Seinfeld revealed in a recent interview. "I don’t know the schedule that week, but let’s say we’re shooting it on Wednesday. It’s Tuesday," Seinfeld said during an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show." "We don’t have the golf ball goes into the blowhole of the whale.
We don’t have it — it was never in the script." Different plot points in that specific episode of the show include Jerry telling Diane that George was a marine biologist, Kramer hitting golf balls into the ocean at the beach and George and Diane taking a walk on the beach and coming across a crowd observing a dying whale in the water. "It was the night before we shot the scene with Jason in the coffee shop," Seinfeld recalled. "I said to Larry [co-writer], ‘Hey, what if what puts the whale in distress is Kramer’s golf ball?’ He’s hitting golf balls at the beach.
George is walking on the beach with the girl. We haven’t connected them. We saw no connection the night before.
