EPISODE OVERVIEW

3 Reviews | 236 Votes

Everyone makes a trip to the Hamptons to "see the baby" and enjoy the weekend. George's girlfriend goes topless and everyone sees her chest before he does. "The baby" is the most hideous thing they've ever seen. Elaine is confused when a handsome doctor refers to her as "breathtaking" - the same term he later uses to describe the baby. Kramer finds a filled lobster trap. Jerry's girlfriend sees George naked, after he's just gotten out of the pool, so something isn't as it should be. Add a recap »

  • George: Ordinarily I wouldn't mind, but…

    Jerry: Oh, you mean… Shrinkage.
    George: Yes. Significant shrinkage.
    Jerry: So you feel you were shortchanged.
    George: Yes. I mean, if she thinks that's me, she's under a complete misapprehension. That was not me, Jerry. That was not me. edit »
  • George: (upset that Jerry saw Jane topless before him) It's like I'm Neil Armstrong. I turn around for a sip of Tang, and you jump out first! edit »
  • Kramer: I saw Jane topless.
    George: You saw who what? edit »
  • When Elaine comes to the sundeck in an oversized hat and an ankle length sundress; Jerry says "And then there's Maude," a reference to the CBS sitcom Maude starring Bea Arthur who was a New York liberal activist and famous for her flowing, unrevealing wardrobe. edit »
