Problems: Jerry, Elaine, and George go to a party. George might have hit it off with a lady. So, he's deciding if he should go for it. He goes for it and scores. He brings her home, and brings the car with him. Jerry and Elaine say they can get Kramer to drive them home. Elaine slips out an insult to the housewamer, saying in a slurrish accent, "Maybe the Dingo At you're baby." So, by 2 o'clock in the morning, when Jerry and Elaine are waiting for Kramer, The house warmer wants them out. Kramer finally comes and they leave.

I liked this episode. It wasn't that bad really. Especially for season 2. The problems were a little too meshed together, but all in all, it wa sa good episode.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- 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. In another reference to that episode, Kramer tells Steve a story that involves a magician and someone almost getting hit by a car. Although we don't here the entire story Kramer's probably telling Steve about when he and Elaine picked up his friend's doves. Edit
- Jerry says he's 36 years old, and we assume that George is the same age. This is only episode where any of the main characters age is mentioned directly. Edit
- When Jerry is writing something on a notepad at the party, he does it with his left hand. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- This episode was originally going to be broadcast during the second season on 17 Jul 91. Jerry comes on before the broadcast of this episode and explains that it is from the time before George lost his job and he wanted to "let you know, that we know, you know." Even though the episode was first broadcast during the third season it is included with the season 1 & 2 box set DVDs. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- 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
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- George: You know the anxiety you feel on a date? That's what I have every day now. My worst nightmare's come true...every day is a date. Jerry: That's one of Dante's nine stages of hell, isn't it? This is reference to the Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri in the 1300s. In the first part of the poem, called Inferno, Dante describes hell as nine circles of suffering inside Earth. 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
