Episode Summary
Elaine's friend, a physical therapist, whom Jerry must "kiss hello," has an old style hairdo, that Jerry and Elaine want Kramer to comment on. Jerry's grandmother wants him to open a ketchup bottle and she tells a story about some money that Uncle Leo was supposed to give his sister. Jerry's father is anxious to collect the money and interest Leo owes. Kramer puts tenant pictures up in the lobby and soon Jerry is giving every woman in the building, the "kiss hello"; however, when he stops, he becomes unpopular. George gets his arm looked at, misses a follow up appointment and must pay for that visit. The therapist skips out on her patients, including George, and goes skiing with Elaine. After their trip, she drops Elaine off 3 blocks from her apartment. Elaine injures her shoulder carrying her equipment home, and can't get any complementary treatment. Jerry gets proof of his uncle's dishonesty.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When Jerry discovers his picture has been defaced in the lobby, Kramer says, "don't worry…I made double prints". This is impossible, as Kramer took the original photo with a Polaroid Instamatic camera, which prints out one self-developing photo when a picture is taken. It's impossible to make an actual double print using that type of camera/film. Edit
- The episode features the first male - on - male kiss on Seinfeld. Edit
- Both Jerry and Uncle Leo are called over to Nana's house to open the ketchup bottle. When she goes to hand the bottle to Jerry, he and Uncle Leo fight over who will open it, and in the end, Jerry lets Uncle Leo handle it. However, after a few moments, Leo still hasn't been able to open it. He simply hands it back to his mother who sits on the couch trying to open it. It got lost in the discussion of the money from the track, but the whole point of Jerry and Leo being there was to open the ketchup, and that never got done. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Jerry: I'll tell you another thing, Cosmo Kramer or whatever you want to be called, the kissing thing is over. There's no more kissing and I don't care what the consequences are! Edit
- Jerry: I'm going on record right now that was my last kiss hello. I am getting off the kiss program with her. Elaine: Why? Jerry: Well, frankly, outside of a sexual relationship, I don't see the point to it. I'm not thrilled with all the handshaking either, but one step at a time. Edit
- George: I love these people. You can't ask them questions. They're so mentally gifted that we mustn't disturb the delicate genius unless it's in the confines of an office. When huge sums of money are involved then the delicate genius can be disturbed! Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- (Jerry is being shunned by fellow tenant Mary since refusing to kiss her hello) Jerry: Mary… Oh, Mary! This is strongly reminiscent of the 1946 classic It's A Wonderful Life in which George Bailey (James Stewart) trys to get his wife Mary (Donna Reed) to recognize him in his alternate reality. Edit
- Jerry: (to Kramer) I'm like Richard Dawson down there now. Richard Dawson was the host of the game show Family Feud. Dawson would frequently kiss the female contestants on the show. Edit
