Afterward, George abandons them there, when he leaves with a co-worker he has a chance with. Jerry & Elaine keeping the hosts up real late, while waiting for Kramer to come and pick them up. The host later takes Jerry up on his offer to drop by when he is in the city, just as Jerry is leaving. He stays in Jerry's apartment for the evening and parties with Kramer and a lady of the evening.

- At the party, the guy going on and on about peanuts to Elaine says that the cashew is a legume. It is not. The peanut is (grows in a pod), but the cashew is the seed of the cashew tree. edit »
- Just before Mr Pocatillo leaves Jerry's apartment, before he goes to kiss Patty's hand, the door is wide open, yet he goes to kiss her, and starts to leave and the door is shut. Jerry didn't close it or anything, Just a continuity error. edit »
- Two additions to the vegetarian nitpicking above: (1) Elaine eats mutton in episode 704, "The Wink," and (2) she announces her plans to go to SkyBurger after waiting in the Chinese Restaurant, 206. edit »
- You will notice towards the end of the show when Elaine and Jerry are waiting for Kramer to pick them up that Jerry picks up a book on the civil war and the next shot its on the coffee table again and the very next shot it's in his lap again. It appears to be just poor editing. edit »
- Although the soup was for, Jerry, Elaine has been seen eating deli slices in later episodes. Jerry also comments to the person who plays Elaine in 'Jerry' that she eats burgers. edit »
- This is only episode where any of the main characters age is mentioned directly (although they occasionally reference the general age, like saying 'late thirties'). Jerry says he is 36, and we assume that George is the same age. We never learn Kramer and Elaine's ages, although it has always been assumed that he is a little older the Jerry, and she is a little younger. edit »
- In another reference to ‘The Jacket' Kramer tells Steve a story that involves a magician and someone almost getting hit by a car. Though we don't here the entire story Kramer's probably telling Steve about when he and Elaine picked up his friend's doves. edit »
- Elaine tells someone at the party that she is reading manuscripts for Pendant Publishing. Jerry walks by and says "Pendant! Those bastards!" This is a reference to what Elaine's father said in "The Jacket" when Elaine told him she was working for Pendant. edit »
- Note that Jerry is left-handed when he is writing something on a notepad at the party. edit »
- Viewer Jeff Holland notes that one of George's co-workers says she just sold a property at 129 W. 81 St.; that of course is the building where Jerry, Kramer and Newman live. edit »
- Jerry: Now listen, let's keep an eye on each other tonight. In case one of us gets in a bad conversation, we should have a signal that you're in trouble so the other one can get us out of it.
Elaine: How old are you? edit » - George: Every time I go to the bathroom I pass her desk. I have to plan little patter. I spend half my day writing. Then afterwards, I sit in my office and analyze how it went. If it was a good conversation, I don't go to the bathroom for the rest of the day. edit »
- Party Guest: So what do you do?
Jerry: I'm a comedian.
Party Guest: Are you? Let me ask you something. Where do you get your material?
Jerry: I hear a voice.
Party Guest: What kind of voice?
Jerry: A man's voice, but he speaks in German so I have to get a translator.
Party Guest: How come you keep tapping your head?
Jerry: It's a nervous tic. I'm on L-Dopa. edit » - Jerry: What could possess anyone to throw a party? I mean, to have a bunch of strangers treat your house like a hotel room. edit »
- George: You got aloe? I love aloe. edit »
- Elaine says "Maybe the Dingo ate your baby" in something that sounds like an Australian accent. The story which she referred to is, of course, the woman in Australia who was charged with the murder of her baby, while she insisted that it was a dingo (a wild dog) that ate it. The phrase was popularized, of course, by the 1988 film A Cry In The Dark based on the event, and spoken by Meryl Streep. edit »
