Elaine reluctantly lets George attend a party she is throwing at work. "Sweet fancy Moses" exclaims George when he sees Elaine dance at a party she's holding for her employees. She wonders why they've lost respect for her. Jerry gets 2 tickets to a premiere of a film. Kramer asks him to get an extra ticket for his friend Brody. Elaine thinks the loss of respect might be due to George's influence, so she makes him off limits to Anna, one of the women George talked to at the party. That "bad boy" image makes him all the more desirable. Jerry and Kramer attend the film with Brody, who begins to make a bootleg tape. Brody gets sick and has Kramer take him home, leaving Jerry to finish making the tape. Jerry worries about the implications when Brody likes him camera work and asks him to do another film. However, he complains about the quality of Kramer's work. Elaine finds out the truth about her dancing after she tapes herself. Elaine apologizes to Anna and George, which suddenly makes him undesirable. Brody won't meet Jerry's demands for equipment; George takes on the challenge, but gets arrested. Frank comes to bail him out and Elaine lets him know the truth about his son. Elaine's dance becomes a big hit on the streets of New York.

NOTE: It was reported in Allure magazine that the dance moves Elaine made were completely Lorne Michaels (noted Saturday+Night+Live producer) own moves.

Hi There.
This is probably a stupid question, but I'd like to know the title of the song that Elaine "dances" to.. Can anyone help?

I believe the song is "Shining Star" by Earth, Wind and Fire.

George says that he borrowed his fathers car-1968 Pontiac GTO-
The car in the episode was clearly a 66 or 67 gto, a totally diffrent body style

Elaine dances again, I believe in The Slice, through the rythm of "Slow Ride"

Small correction to the transcript - when Kramer tells Jerry that George was arrested I think he said that George "tried to lam" instead of "tried to land." "Lam" is slang for escaping and as far as I know was mostly popular in cop movies from the '40s and '50s and fits with the next words out of Kramer's mouth, that the cops "cheesed him."

Sometimes I still hear "on the lam" referring to someone who's running from the cops.

When they are watching death blow i swear i see john lovitz sitting behind jerry.

When Brodie comes over to retrieve the video of "Cry, Cry Again" he calls up on Jerry's intercom, but Jerry never buzzes him in the front door.

Kramer says George went down "at the Beekman", which is a historic theatre on Manhattan's Upper East Side. It's even discussed on a website called "Cinematic Treasures'. It all makes sense.

I think what was most hilarious about this episode is how George & Anna not only acted like, but were treated as teenagers throughout the show. Also how Elaine kept referring to George as a virus was a laugh and a half.

One of my favorite episodes, especially the reactions to the "dancing" Elaine does.

..please, not in my home...

Does anybody know what song was in the background at the party when Elaine's co-workers watched her attempt to dance? It's a classic that I should know anyway... posibly by Earth Wind & Fire. It is also sampled in many movies too.

I like when Anna asks George over the phone what he's doing and he replies, "You don't wanna know." He's ironing...it's hilarious!

i think the most funny was the one when kramer was missunderstood as an invalid... funnyyyyyyy

One of the funniest episodes, IMO. The reaction to the dancing, especially how it makes Jerry stop in his tracks when George mentions it, is great. I also love Elaine's toast at the party: "Here's to those who wish us well, and those who don't can go to hell!"
Also really like the parts where Jerry tells George he's been the bad everything throughout life (including bad tipper), where Jerry and Kramer explain to Brody why the movie is "Cry, Cry Again" and the ending where Frank and Elaine get into a war of words. Great stuff!

First you cry, and then you cry again.

That's it, I'm OFF the project!

Elaine: It's dancing.

Kramer: No, no. That ain't dancing, Sally.

Elaine: I dance fine.

Kramer: You stink.

It was more like a full-body dry heave set to music.
