  • With all the trouble George goes to to try to obtain a "fake" Bereavement Fare, he is technically entitled to one since that is the entire purpose of their trip. Certainly Betsy is, and getting a copy of the death certificate for her would have been simple. edit »
  • Kramer says that he knows what fake breasts feel like, and explains that it's because he lived in LA for three months. In response, Elaine says, "I thought you hated LA," as if Kramer said that he missed LA. However, he only said that he lived there - certainly not a contradiction to Elaine's assumption that he didn't like it there. edit »
  • When the guys are in the sauna, Kramer is wearing a metal chain around his neck (ouch!!!) and George metal frame glasses. I'm not sure about the glasses, but I'm pretty sure I've had to remove jewelry while in a sauna----wow, that metal gets hot and burns the skin!!!!! Yes???? edit »
  • As Jerry and Sidra are about to get intimate, Kramer knocks on the door and interupts them. In one shot, they're holding hands. In the next shot, they have their hands in their laps. edit »
  • At about 17 minutes into the episode, Jerry has his arms folded across his chest. Then the shot changes and Kramer walks in after Jerry says, "I gotta draw the line somewhere." In this shot, Jerry has one hand on his hip and the other at his side. edit »
  • Originally, Megan Mullally auditionated for the role of Elaine. edit »
  • Jerry: I usually last about ten minutes on the stairmaster. Unless, of course, there's someone stretching in front of me in a leotard, then I can go an hour. That's why they call it the stairmaster. You get up there and you stare. edit »
  • Kramer: Come on, what's wrong with my boys?
    Jerry: Your boys should stay in their neighborhood. edit »
  • (George double-dips a chip, and Timmy rushes over to him after seeing what he did)
    Timmy: What are you doing?
    George: What?
    Timmy: Did…did you just double-dip that chip?
    George: Excuse me?
    Timmy: You double-dipped the chip!
    George: Double-dipped? What are you talking about?
    Timmy: You dipped the chip, you took a bite, and you dipped again.
    George: So?
    Timmy: That's like putting your whole mouth right in the dip! From now on, when you take a chip, just take one dip and end it! edit »
  • Elaine: I never knew you were so into breasts. I thought you were a leg man.
    Jerry: A leg man? Why would I be a leg man? I don’t need legs. I have legs. edit »
  • (Trying to convince Jerry the man at the health club is Salman Rushdie.)
    Kramer: Jerry, are you blind?! He's a writer. He said his name was Sal Bass. Bass, Jerry! Instead of salmon he went with bass. He just substituted one fish for another! edit »
