TRIVIA

  • When Kramer buys the lotion, he clearly has a small shopping bag it came in. Then later, Bania brings Kramer's suit back complaining that moisturizer lotion spilled in the pants pocket. When did Kramer put the lotion in his pocket? edit »
  • Elaines bra was white when she brought the dress back to the store and when she was trying on the second dress and Kramer was in the next stall, her bra was black. edit »
  • When Kramer sells his suit to Bania he also sells his shirt because when you see Kramer in the dressing room he has no shirt on. At the end of the episode he is walking with Jerry and Elaine wearing Jerry's mothers fur coat and you can see his shirt underneath the fur coat. How did he get his shirt back? edit »
  • Another viewer notes that Kramer must have gotten used to wearing boxer shorts, instead of briefs or nothing at all, as seen in "The Chinese Woman." edit »
  • Viewer Kevin Hercules noted the following blooper: When Kramer is in the dressing room in his underwear, his wallet is in the elastic. After he and Jerry are talking for a while, the wallet disappears without him taking it out. edit »

  • Jerry: It's incredible. Six months ago you were taking messages for your mother.

  • Bania: For our next meal, do you think we should come here, or should we go someplace else? You know it has its pros and cons. On the one hand, here, you're guaranteed a great meal. On the other hand…
    Jerry: (interrupts) Yeah, yeah, I know. This would be good, but it would be the same. But if we go some place else, it would be different, but it might not be as good. It's a gamble. I get it! edit »
