George goes out of his way to avoid reading Breakfast at Tiffany's (and in Season 8's "The Fatigues", a book on anger management), however in Season 5's "The Conversion", he talks about how easy it is to become a Latvian Orthodox: "All I have to do is read a few books�." What's more, the "few books" he must read are thick, ancient religious texts. edit »
Elaine says that she loves eating duck, but in The Strike, we learned that the only meat she will eat is fish occasionally. edit »
