  Jerry witnesses a hit & run. hide show

  Awesome episode, I felt like I needed to review this episode because the whole God bless you gag is hilarious. I like the guy who freaked out just because George said God bless you. I also liked when Jerry follows the girl thinking she's a guy & when she ets out of the car, he's speechless. Also when he tells that lie to Elaine & she believes him, I was just expecting her to say "Get Out!" I didn't really like the C plot, Kramer having those seizures, it seemed kind of unrealistic. It was a funny episode, I recommend it!

  Do you agree?

• Jerry: If you want to make a person feel better after they sneeze, you shouldn't say 'God bless you.' You should say 'You're so good looking! [edit]

• Elaine: (to Jerry) Because I'm picturing a French Connection kind of thing. You know? Sort of a Popeye Doyle, chase through the city.
  
  The French Connection is a 1971 film about heroin smuggling between France to New York City. Gene Hackman played the role of James "Popeye" Doyle, one of the detectives trying to stop the smuggling. The movie is based on a 1969 book about the actual "French Connection" drug trafficking scheme between Turkey, France, and the US. [edit]
• George: Oh my God, an affair. That's so adult. It's like with stockings and martinis and William Holden.
  
  William Holden was an American actor whose career reached its peak in the 1950s. Holden reportedly had affairs with numerous Hollywood actresses, including Shelley Winters and Audrey Hepburn. [edit]
• In 1991, an American woman named Dianne Neale suffered seizures from hearing Entertainment Tonight co-host Mary Hart's eerily perky voice. Her doctors said Hart's electronically transmitted voice triggered Neale's epilepsy by creating abnormal electrical charges in her brain (MSNBC 1997). [edit]
