[edit] Plot

While Jerry helps George with a coffee table stain, Elaine must take the subway home; she takes Frank Costanza's TV Guide as reading material. George meets a woman at a furniture refinishing store and takes her to his parents' home, pretending that it is his. Jerry is interested in a Native American woman named Winona, but she is offended when he presents Elaine with a cigar store Indian as a peace offering. Having had sex with his furniture store quarry, George leaves a condom wrapper in his parents' bed; his parents discover not only the wrapper but also the absence of Frank's TV Guide (he is a collector) and punish him by grounding him. Kramer pitches his idea for a coffee table book about coffee tables to Elaine's boss.

[edit] Quotes

  • Jerry: "You know, I don't get it. Not allowed to ask a Chinese person where the Chinese restaurant is! I mean, aren't we all getting a little too sensitive? I mean, someone asks me which way's Israel, I don't fly off the handle."
  • Kramer: "You know what would make a great coffee table book? A coffee table book about coffee tables! Get it?"

Mr. Costanza: What is this? A prophylactic wrapper?

Mr. Costanza:We're gone one week and you turn our house into Bourbon street.

Mr. Costanza: You want to live here, you respect the rules of this house. You're GROUNDED!!
