"Sack Lunch" Look at them! How's they get in that sack? Is it a big sack, or did they get shrunk?

"PROGNOSES NEGATIVE!!"

"Cry, Cry Again." You cry, and then you see her dance...and you cry again.

"Rochelle, Rochelle" A young girls' erotic journey from Milan to Minsk.

Then 10 years later I find out that "The English Patient" is a real movie and I have to read the book for English class.

I also loved how they eventually flashed back to Jerry meeting Kramer, and Jerry starting the whole "Kramer comes in and eats all his food thing" by inviting him over to share a pizza.


It also explains why Kramer is referred to as Kessler in the pilot.

One time I was riding in an elevator and a girl came in. Of course I had to say that I was the guy who made those crop circles in England. She had no idea what I was talking about and got off like three floors later. I did not get her number.

Another time I asked a girl at a Starbucks I had gone into a lot (just to see her) if she dated immature men. She said no.

Three attempts. Jake Jarmel, George, Newman. Only the first one succeeds, but maybe that's George and Newman's fault.

No, it's not. Nobody feel anyone's fabric unless you know them or are as cool as Jake Jarmel was in the 90s. (none of us are)

We've been the best team all year.

They're just finding out.

quote:

As Alexander explains in an interview for the Seinfeld DVD, during an early conversation with David, Alexander questioned a script, saying, "This could never happen to anyone, and even if it did, no human being would react like this." David replied, "What do you mean? This happened to me once, and this is exactly how I reacted!".

Do they ever specify what situation Alexander and David are talking about? Personally, I like to think it's the bit where George finds the eclair in the trash can and eats it.

It refers to when George quit his job, regretted it, and came in the next day like it never happened. Larry David actually did that when he worked for SNL. (And it worked out better than it did for George)

quote:

The episodes relates three parallel plots, in intertwining scenes. The first plot concerns George being banned from the executive toilet. Because of this he quits his job, but immediately regrets the decision. He discusses job opportunities with his friend Jerry, but is unable to think of an occupation that would suit him. Jerry suggests that George could try to go back to work and pretend he never quit. George takes this advice, but his former boss, Rick Levitan (Fred Applegate), refuses to let him stay and insults him. As revenge, George decides to slip a mickey into his drink during an office party, and enlists Elaine Benes to help him. At the party, Elaine distracts Levitan while George puts the mickey in his drink. When Levitan notices George, however, he decides he was unreasonable and tells George he can have his job back. George attempts to intercept the drink, but after Levitan welcomes him back during a toast sprinkled with insults at George's expense, George tells him to "drink up", which he does. In the following scene we see George once again brainstorming job opportunity ideas, the subtext being that his boss discovered the spiking of his drink, connected it to George, and has fired him once again.

Seinfeld was really fantastic with this sort of thing, I mean getting away with some extremely risque and off-color material you could never do on network TV by simply implying all of it and never directly stating it outright. It could be with clever edits, like the bit you're talking about, or like in "The Contest" where I don't think the word masturbation was ever spoken aloud. Hell, barely even any direct euphemisms for it were used.
