Jerry meets an old college classmate who asked about George, whom Jerry says is now a "marine biologist." An infuriated Russian writer tosses an electronic organizer belonging to Elaine out of a limousine that hits a passerby on the head. Kramer struggles with his golf swing and sand.

- Larry David is heard but not seen in this episode. In the scene on the beach, he delivers the line, "Is anyone here a marine biologist?!" edit »
- George starts walking towards the water, and once he starts wading in, his pantlegs have miraculously been rolled up. edit »
- George is telling the story of his encounter with the whale... the whale let out a great bellow and George calms the whale "easy big fella". As he says this, Elaine has her arm resting on the table. A split second later, her arm is upright. Minor goof. edit »
- At the beginning of the episode George tells Jerry about a program he saw about marine biologists. Yet when Jerry tells George that he's met a woman they used to go to school with and he told her that George is a marine biologist, George claims that he didn't know that marine biologists "was a profession". Has George forgotten the program he saw the night before and told Jerry about earlier? edit »
- Rosiland Allen (who plays Diane in this ep) played Wendy Smith on Seaquest DSV, a show about a submarine that has a dolphin crew member - and this episode centers around George pretending to be a marine bioligist to date her. edit »
- Kramer: (points to his head) I've got all my appointments right up here. edit »
- Elaine: What, are you in a bad mood?
Jerry: I got my laundry back.
Elaine: Golden Boy?
Jerry: He didn't make it.
Elaine: I'm sorry.
Jerry: This is Golden Boy's son, Baby Blue. edit » - George: (to Jerry) Why couldn't you make me an architect? You know I always wanted to pretend that I was an architect. edit »
- Jerry: (trying to make George look good) He's working on lowering the cholesterol level in whales. All that blubber, it's quite unhealthy. You know, it's the largest mammal on earth. But as George says, they don't have to be. edit »
- Jerry: Your mother reads your mail?
George: Yeah.
Jerry: What do you mean, like postcards?
George: Oh, anything.
Jerry: She doesn't open.
George: She'll open.
Jerry: You've caught your mother opening envelopes?
George: Yes.
Jerry: What does she say?
George: I was curious.
Jerry: Isn't that against the law?
George: Maybe I can get her locked up. edit »
- George: I'm working on my Jack Nicholson. 'You can't handle the truth!'
"You can't handle the truth!" was Jack Nicholson's famous line from the 1992 film "A Few Good Men". edit »
