"The Maestro" is an episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It aired on October 6, 1995. It was the series' 113th episode and 3rd episode for the 7th season.

[edit] Plot

George decides that he needs to help a security guard that works at Susan's uncle's store. Elaine begins dating Bob Cobb ie. the "Maestro" after meeting him through Kramer, and immerses herself in classical music. Kramer gets an out of court settlement in his lawsuit that nets him free coffee at any location around the world, much to Jackie's dismay, as he and Kramer could have been very rich if Kramer declined the offer he took. Jerry asks Poppy about Tuscany and is referred to Poppy's cousin, who makes him an offer he can't refuse. George brings the security guard a chair and he falls asleep. This episode marks the first appearance of lawyer Jackie Chiles (Phil Morris), a parody of Johnnie Cochran.

[edit] Trivia

  • At the end of the episode when Kramer and Jerry arrive in Tuscany, the aria "O mio babbino caro" is playing in the background, a reference to the 1986 Merchant-Ivory film A Room with a View, part of which is set in the pensione in Florence, that the title refers to. This aria is from Giacomo Puccini's one-act comedy opera Gianni Schicchi (1918). It is one of the few opera arias to enter the mainstream media.
  • The song that Elaine begins to sing as she drives away with the Maestro is La donna è mobile, from the opera Rigoletto, by Giuseppe Verdi.
  • The subplot in which Kramer sues a coffee company for making their coffee too hot is an obvious parody of the infamous Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants lawsuit.
  • The conversion rates for 2,000,000 - the price of the house of Tuscany - to U.S. dollars is equal to 1,649.27.
  • The conversion rates for the 75,000 Italian Lira - the price of the cab ride - to U.S. dollars is $61.85.

[edit] Quotes

  • Jackie Chiles: It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous!
  • Jackie Chiles: I'll take it? I'll take it!?!? Who told you to take it? I didn't tell you to take it! I know the Maestro didn't tell you to take it! He wasn't there!!!
  • George: That's why I'm different. I can sense the slightest human suffering.

Jerry: Are you sensing anything right now?

  • Kramer: You know you hurt the Maestro's feelings?

Jerry: Why? Because I didn't call him Maestro?

  • Kramer: I didn't know the balm was gonna work.

Jackie Chiles: Have you ever seen a balm? Do you know what a balm is capable of?
