Elaine's new boyfriend, Brett, is obsessed with designer furniture and the song "Desperado." Jerry spots an umbrella salesman using the sales technique he invented. The salesman says it was someone else. Hundreds of twelve-cent royalty checks keep arriving from Jerry's brief appearance on a Japanese television. Kramer warns George that the carpet cleaners he hired are actually a front for a religious cult. Intrigued, George tries to be converted, but they're not interested. Kramer meets some Japanese businessman and he takes them on the town and to the cleaners. He is a little confused about the exchange rate. Brett delivers a large chest of drawers to Kramer and thinks that Jerry might be jealous. Kramer thinks the TV pilot that Jerry and George did would be perfect for Japanese television. They pitch it to a couple of Japanese TV executives. Elaine tries to find a song that she and Brett can share. Kramer puts his Japanese friends up at his place. They're sleeping in the chest of drawers. Jerry caught in the rain meets the man in the street that claims credit for the twirl. He also meets Brett who is convinced Jerry is down on his luck. George gets the cleaners to do the offices at Yankee Stadium where they find a new recruit. Because of the humidity from the hot tub, Kramer's guests get stuck in the chest. Jerry, with writer's cramp from check signing, uses a fire ax to open the chest. That scares the Japanese guests and injures Brett who passes out.

NOTE: Viewer Tony Antoniou notes that the person playing Carl Farbman shown in the red Ferrari was the Transportation Coordinator for the show, Dave Pierce.
The furniture designer with whom Elaine's boyfriend is so obsessed is Carl Farbman. Farbman was also the name of the architecht who designed the house in "The Hamptons".

As previously stated, Carl Farbman was not the architecht of the house in "The Hamptons". Ben, the doctor, was named Mike Farman.

Anyone else reckon Brett died at the end of this episode when the doctor was captivated by the song, Witchy Woman??

From the monitor, it sounds like he's coding to me!

its all about the super terrific happy hour

...and it wouldn't be impolite to laugh at his antics...

Shouldn't that be "cheques"?

Or is it Czechs........nah, can't be. Maybe Chex ?

that TV you watch, that sushi
you eat, I mean, even that kimono you wear. Where to you think all that money
goes, hmm?

That's right.

I would like to thank Tony Antoniou for mentioning that I was cast in the part of Carl Farbman. I actually had a line that read: "There must be something you can do for that young man" , but it hit the cutting room floor Oh well, best laid plans Best regards to all you Seinfeld Fans! Respectfully, Dave Pierce (aka: Carl Farbman)

GEORGE:Who buys an umbrella anyway?
Y..you get 'em for free in the coffee shop in the metal cans.

JERRY: (as if speaking to a moron) Those belong to people.

That's gold.

yea...but here in America, we spell them c-h-e-c-k-s

But in English (which we gave to you), we spell it cheques (from the French, which English is partially based on, thanks to the Norman invasion post-Roman Empire - but that's all probably double dutch to a country that can't even admit its own history, let alone learn any others...).

Go away.
