[edit] Plot
At a movie theater's restroom Elaine asks a woman in a neighboring toilet stall for toilet paper, but the woman "can't spare a square". The two women never see each other faces but only recognize their voices. The woman returns to her seat as Jerry's new girlfriend, and Elaine to hers with her pretty-face boyfriend Tony (played by Dan Cortese).
At Jerry's apartment Kramer uses the phone to call a telephone sex line. By Elaine's description of the incident Jerry realizes that the woman is his date. Meanwhile, George becomes enamored of Elaine's boyfriend whom he deems "a cool guy". Jerry knows Elaine dates Tony only for his pretty face, and he thinks Tony is a "male bimbo", a "mimbo".
At the coffee shop, Tony, Kramer and dull George agree to go rock climbing. Later, Kramer meets Jerry's girlfriend realizing her voice sounds like Erika's, a girl from the telephone sex line. Jerry prevents Elaine from hearing the real voice of his girlfriend.
Due to Kramer and George's carelessness, Tony falls while rock climbing, leaving Elaine to wonder whether his face will ever be the same. Tony breaks up with George.
At Monk's Cafe, Kramer is supposed to meet Erika as to discover if she is in fact Jerry's girlfriend. Elaine finally realizes who the woman is and exerts her payback in the restroom. The woman tells Jerry to never call her again, nor should Kramer!
