Olive is Kramer's 14th girlfriend in the series. (edit)
Audrey is Jerry's 28th girlfriend in the series. (edit)
This episode had 23 scenes, the most scenes in one '30 minute' Seinfeld episode to date. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Kramer: You guys ought to see the way she works her nails across my back. Ooooo! She's a maestro. The criss-cross, the figure-eight, strummin' on the old banjo. And this wild savage free-for-all where anything can happen! (edit)
Jerry: A chef who doesn't wash is like a cop who steals. It's a cry for help. He wants to get caught. (edit)
Kramer: (inviting Elaine to scratch his back) It'll be a funky adventure. (edit)
Elaine: (to a rude store clerk) Did you just roll your eyes at him? Because let me tell you something. If anybody should be rolling their eyes, it is me, at him, about you. (edit)
Kramer: (to Elaine, about the mannequin) It’s like they chopped off your arms and legs, dipped you in plastic, then screwed you all back together again and stuck you on a pedestal. It’s really quite exquisite! (edit)

Trivia

add »
"Poppy's" the restaurant owned by the man of the same name was called Bouchard's previously in the episode "The Shoes." (edit)
Goof: In the scene immediately after Jerry refuses to try the pizza at Poppie's, Jerry and George are shown sitting on Jerry's couch, eating and talking. Jerry is sitting on the left side of the couch (his left) - closest to the kitchen. Then, he gets up and goes to the kitchen, and when the camera goes back to George, George is now sitting where Jerry was an instant earlier. (edit)
This happens very quickly so keep an eye for this. In the scene where George is telling the other guy trying to buy the same suit that there's an unadvertised sale on monday, George starts to remove the coat from him and the saleswoman says "Actually, the unadvertised sales starts on Friday" to which the other guy replies "Really?, Thanks". When he says "Really?" George is holding the coat, when he says "Thanks", the coat has disappeared from George's hands and is now being put away by the saleswoman. (edit)
