[edit] Plot

George refuses to tell his ATM code to Susan. Elaine dates a friend of Jerry, the forgetful Fred (played by Fred Stoller). Appliance store owner Leapin' Larry wants Jerry to do spots for his store, but he is angered when he thinks Jerry is doing an impression of him when his foot falls asleep. Kramer gets an emergency band scanner and decides to help at the New York Fire Department.

Elaine does not want to go on a date with her boss, Jacopo Peterman, so she leaves Jerry and George at the restaurant. Jerry ends up leaving, but George is stuck with Peterman. After dinner, Peterman is driving George home when Peterman receives a call that his mother (played by Ellen Albertini Dow) is in the hospital. They rush to her side. George remains at the hospital, and believing Peterman's mother is unconscious, he reveals his ATM code ("Bosco") to her. Somehow, she seizes upon the word, which she repeats over and over; it becomes her dying word(s).

Later while George is talking to Jerry about his code still refusing to reveal it Kramer comes in stating that he can guess it. Through a series of assumptions or truths about George, Kramer is able to reveal that it is a chocolate syrup. As Kramer shouts out guesses (nearly guessing every syrup except Bosco) George becomes agitated and leaves the room fearing that his secret code may be revealed.

While Jerry was filming another comercial for Leeping Larry after clearing up the first incident Jerry's leg once again falls asleep. Jerry not wanting to upset Larry again, attempts to "wake up" his leg by stomping it repeatadlly on the ground. This however causes a short circuit and a fire to break out. The fire continues to spread until George is with Petterman examining the fire when they realize there is a man caught inside a bank. The man has his arm stuck in the ATM machine and cannot get it out. George reluncuntlly is forced to give up his code to Petterman who upon hearing that George's code and the his mother's dying words are the same blames George for his mother's demise.

[edit] Superman Reference

George: Have you ever given your code to anyone?
Jerry: No one's ever asked. You want it? It's "Jor-El".
George: Superman's father on Krypton.
Jerry: Of course.
"Kramer" (attmepting to guess George's code) Is it the salty snacks you crave? No, no, no, no, no, yours is a sweet tooth. Yes you may stray but you'll always return to your dark master the co-co bean
