[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jerry, fascinated by an empty and failing restaurant called "The Dream Café," offers his patronage to the restaurant, and its owner (Babu Bhatt, who became a very popular character) and convinces the owner to restyle his menu and decor. He suggests that Babu make his restaurant the only authentic Pakistani eatery in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, this is a big disaster for Babu because the restaurant still lacks customers and Babu loses a lot of money, so he becomes very upset with Jerry and blames him for causing his failure by calling Jerry, "You are a very bad man!"

Elaine takes an IQ test for George, who is worried that his girlfriend (who needs him to take an IQ test to pass a psychology course) will not be impressed with the score he receives. This plan backfires, as when Elaine enters the Dream Café (following advice offered by Jerry), she finds it very difficult to work in the distracting environment, and performs poorly on the test with an indicated IQ of 85. George insists that she try again. This time, Kramer locks himself in with Elaine in Jerry's apartment to escape his mother's ex-boyfriend for not returning a jacket Kramer found. Elaine is too late to return the test to George when Monica (George's girlfriend) finds out.

[edit] Superman reference

  • Jerry: (closing credits) It's tough to do a good deed. Just look at your professional good deed doers. Your Lone Rangers, your Superman, your Batman, your Spider-Man, your Elasticman. They’re all wearing disguises, masks over their faces. Secret identities. Don't want people to know who they are. It's too much aggravation. "Superman, yeah, thanks for saving my life, but did you have to come through my wall? I'm rentin’ here, They got a security deposit. What am I supposed to do?"
