[edit] Plot

George meets a female Chinese lawyer who thinks he is very funny, so he tells Jerry not to be funny around her. Jerry adopts a dark and disturbed persona which ends up attracting the woman too. The lawyer ends up being the sister of Ping, the chinese food delivery boy that Elaine had encountered in ("The Virgin").

Kramer returns early from baseball fantasy camp, where he accidentally punched Mickey Mantle. A mix-up with Jerry's mail, which Elaine was supposed to pick up, causes Babu Bhatt to be arrested for not renewing his visa. Jerry tries to get the lawyer to help Babu, but George's honesty, when his relationship is threatened, causes Babu to be deported to Pakistan and Elaine to still be sued by the delivery boy, Ping, whom she had hit previously ("The Virgin"). Babu Bhatt wants revenge on Jerry whom he calls a "very bad man".

[edit] Quotes

  • George: Kramer goes to a fantasy camp. His whole life is a fantasy camp. People should plunk down two thousand dollars to live like him for a week. Do nothing, fall ass-backwards into money, mooch food off your neighbors and have sex without dating; that's a fantasy camp.
  • Jerry: Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's not to be, that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing.
