No, he said "because it is there". George said "because it's there":

George: So, she fell, and then she started screaming, "My back! My 
back!" So, I picked her up and took her to the hospital.
Elaine: How is she?
George: She's in traction.
Elaine: Okay, I'm sorry.
George: It's not funny, Elaine.
Elaine: I know. I'm sorry. I'm serious.
George: Her back went out. She's gotta be there for a couple of days. 
All she said on the way over in the car was, "Why, George, why?!" I 
said, "Because it's there!"
