[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Kramer befriends a caddy, who helps him to improve his golf game and offer his other advice. When George leaves his car at work, Mr. Wilhelm and Steinbrenner thinks he's been working extra hard. Elaine meets Sue Ellen Mischke, an old high-school friend who is now an heiress to the Oh Henry! candy bar fortune and a "braless wonder" (Brenda Strong). Kramer and Elaine take her rival to court and only Jerry may stand in the way. Kramer and Jerry spill some blood in George's car. Mr. Wilhem tells Steinbrenner and they begin an immediate search for George. They however can't find him and declare him dead. At the trial, Kramer's caddy tells Kramer to get Sue Ellen to try on the bra. She tries, but the bra doesn't fit, costing Kramer the trial.

[edit] Cultural references

  • Jerry refers to Sue Ellen as Elaine's Lex Luthor; Luthor is Superman's archnemesis.
  • Jackie Chiles' remark that a bra has to fit "like a glove" is a reference to the O.J. Simpson trial.

[edit] Quotes

  • Frank Costanza: "What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?! He had 30 home runs, over 100 RBIs last year!, He has a rocket for an arm, you don't know what the hell you're doing!"
  • Jackie Chiles: "Could you repeat that?"
  • Jackie Chiles: "Plus she's trying it on over a leotard.. of course a bra's not gonna fit on over a leotard. A bra's gotta fit right up against a person's skin...like a glove!"
  • Elaine: "We can sue Sue Ellen Mischke for millions!"
  • Kramer: "No. No. No. I learned my lesson last time with that coffee."
