[edit] Plot
Jerry's car is stolen and he has a conversation with the car-jacker on the car phone. George takes a job moving cars from one side of the street to the other, to comply with alternate side parking regulations, and does a very shoddy job by crashing cars and causing traffic jams. Elaine cares for her 66-year-old boyfriend who has had a stroke just before she was about to break up with him. Kramer gets a line in a Woody Allen film, popularizing the expression, "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" He accidentally injures Woody Allen during the shooting and gets fired from the set.
George then causes a major accident and traffic jam, making it longer for the ambulance to reach Elaine's boyfriend, and because of this, the movie was cancelled and Woody Allen said that he may never shoot a movie in Manhattan ever again.
[edit] Trivia
- The car-jacker's voice is that of Larry David, who also does George Steinbrenner's voice when George works for the Yankees later in the series.
