Quotes
[first lines]
Jerry Seinfeld: The pilot comes on with his little announcements. "I'm going over this. I'm going over that. I'm taking a left. I'm bringing it up. I'm taking it down. I'm going right. I'm going this way. I'm going that way." And we're back there, "Yeah, that's all fine. Just do whatever the hell you gotta do. I don't know what the hell is going on." Do I bother him? Do I go knocking on the cockpit door? "I'm having the peanuts now. Just thought you might like to know what we're doing."

Total Frustration

Jerry is done in by Susan's friend who wants to help but doesn't listen to what he says. He wants a type of barbecue sauce with a picture on the label that looks like Charles Grodin. She doesn't get that it's part of the comedy routine. Susan has a doll collection. One of the dolls looks exactly like George's mother. It's terrifying. She messes that up as well. The other plot involves Elaine and the Maestro and walking around with no pants. Also, George's dad decides to use his old room as a pool hall. This leads to a sort of W. C. Fields bit with Kramer and the Maestro. It could have been funnier, but it wasn't bad.
