When are they gonna learn that any news about China

is an instant page-turner?

What's that?

It's a Wizard electronic organizer for my dad.

I'm goin' to Florida for his birthday.

How much was it? Two hundred.

But I'll tell him it's 50.

He doesn't care about the gift,

he gets excited about the deal.

Where are you gettin' a Wizard for $50?

Ah, I'll tell him I got it on the street

and maybe it's hot.

That's his favorite.

I got a message from the Rosses at work today.

Susan's parents? When's the last time you talked?

Susan's parents? When's the last time you talked?

At the funeral, give or take.

You know, deep down I always kinda felt

that they blamed me for Susan's death.

Why? Because you picked out the poisoned envelopes?

That's silly.

Oh. Um...

Darryl, these are...

people I know.

Jerry, George.

Nice meeting you.

I gotta run, Elaine. I'll see you later.

Okay.

Still no Puddy?

Ah, I think his answering machine's broken,

Ah, I think his answering machine's broken,

so I just gave up.

What do you think?

What, about you datin' a black guy?

What's the big deal?

What black guy?

Darryl.

He's black, isn't he?

He is?

No, he isn't.

Isn't he, Elaine?

You think?

I thought he looked Irish.

What's his last name? Nelson.

That's not Irish.

I think he's black.

Should we be talkin' about this?

I think it's okay.

No, it isn't. Why not?

Well, it would be okay if Darryl was here.

Well, it would be okay if Darryl was here.

If he's black.

Is he black?

Does it matter?

No, of course not.

I mean, I'd just like to know.

So you need to know.

No, I don't need to know.

I just think it would be nice if I knew.

Shall I take that?

Uh, one second. Oh, here.

Uh, yeah. Hang on.

Just...yeah.

[♪]

GEORGE: Uh, Mrs. Ross, it's--

It's George.

Who?

George Costanza,

Susan's, uh...friend?

GEORGE: Long time no speak.

We're all out of lime juice.

Told that woman to buy more.

George, the Susan Ross Foundation

is having an event this weekend.

Ohh, I just, uh, leased a house out in the Hamptons,

and I have got to get out there this weekend

and I have got to get out there this weekend

and sign the papers.

I'm goin' back to bed.

Thank you for calling George.

Oh, sure.

I mean, after all, you were almost my, uh...

Okay, I gotta go.

House in the Hamptons.

Well, I been lying about my income for a few years.

I figured I could afford a fake house in the Hamptons.

Well. Hey.

Well, grab a cigar, boys.

Yeah. It's time to celebrate.

Oh, what are we celebrating?

Uh, you remember my coffee table book?

Uh, you remember my coffee table book?

With the little legs?

That's the one.

A big Hollywood so-and-so optioned it

for a movie.

How are they gonna make that book into a movie?

Remember that photo book on toy ray guns?

Yeah?

Independence Day?

How much are they payin' you?

Let's just say that I don't have to worry about working

for a while, a long while.

That's funny because I haven't seen you working

for a while,

a long while.

And you're not going to. Because I'm hanging it up.

Boys, I'm retiring.

From what?

From the grind.

I mean, who needs it?

I've accomplished everything I've set out to do.

What's that?

Oh, I bought myself a little retirement gift.

Gold watch.

Ooh! Ooh!

[WHISPERING] Well, it's not really gold.

[WHISPERING] Well, it's not really gold.

Ohhh. Ohhh.

[♪]

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY]

Hey. Hey.

Great music.

Oh, it's my neighbor.

They blast that stuff 24 hours a day. I hate it.

Yo, yo! Turn it down!

Oh, wow.

These are nice.

These are nice.

Do they have any cultural significance?

They're...African.

Right.

[LAUGHS]

African.

Well, not "Africa." Actually, South Africa.

South Africa.

My family used to live there, but we got out years ago,

for obvious reasons.

You know how it is.

Maybe.

You must hate hot dogs, huh?

Or else you, uh--

You really like 'em and that's why you--

You really like 'em and that's why you--

You do this.

I tell ya, if I had one of these things,

I'd be eatin' hot dogs all the time.

Are you gonna buy a hot dog or not?

No.

[♪]

[BLENDER WHIRRING]

Rise and shine, sleepyhead! Ha, ha.

It's 5:30 in the morning.

We let you sleep in.

Well, as long as I'm up,

Well, as long as I'm up,

Dad, I got you a birthday present.

Here. Happy birthday.

Aw, Jerry.

I should be buying you presents.

What does that mean?

Leave your father alone. It's his birthday.

Ooh!

[CHUCKLES]

It's a radar detector!

Radar detector.

I've never seen you go over 20 miles an hour.

You're like the grand marshal of the Rose Bowl parade.

It's a Wizard organizer!

It's a Wizard organizer!

This looks like too much money.

Nah, I got it from a guy on the street.

It was like 50 bucks.

You think it's hot?

Could be. Attaboy!

Helen! Jerry got me a hot Wizard computer!

I'm right here.

And you can do everything with it.

You can get e-mail, fax. There's a calculator.

So I can use it in a restaurant to figure out the tip?

Yeah, I guess.

But the really cool thing is the daily planner.

Helen, we can go into restaurants

and figure out the tips!

Jerry, you're getting your father too excited.

Hey, buddy.

When did you get in?

Kramer, what are you doing here?

I told you I was retiring. I moved in next door.

Mr. Cornstein died, and it's a beautiful apartment.

Yeah, your folks said it was for rent,

so I jumped on it.

Kramer, you can't live down here,

this is where people come to die!

Not you.

Older people.

Older people.

Don't eat cookies for breakfast!

I'll fix you something.

How about a feta cheese omelet?

Mmm. That sounds great, Mom.

If you feed him, he'll never leave.

I don't have any feta.

How about cottage cheese and Egg Beaters?

I guess.

I don't believe this.

I know. I know. Don't I look more relaxed?

[♪]

Wow!

Yeah!

Whoo!

Whoo!

[SIREN WAILS]

ELAINE: So, George, do you have any thoughts

on this Darryl situation?

Actually, I did have a thought.

Actually, I did have a thought.

Oh.

Why don't you just ask him?

Because if I ask him,

then it's like I really want to know.

Maybe he's, um...

mixed.

Is that the right word?

I don't think we're supposed to be talkin' about this.

I'm just, uh, gonna go to the bathroom.

You know what? I'm leavin'.

I'll just talk to Jerry when he gets back.

Oh!

Mrs. Ross, Mr. Ross.

Oh, you're George's friend.

We saw him in the city this weekend.

What happened to his place in the Hamptons?

The Hamptons?

[LAUGHS]

George Costanza?

Uh, I--

[LAUGHS]

I don't think so.

[LAUGHS]

Have a good one.

[LAUGHING]

Rosses.

George.

We were just talking about you.

GEORGE: Oh.

Well, sorry I missed that, uh, charity thing,

but this was one of those truly glorious Hampton weekends

that you always hear about.

Really.

Yeah, I may move out there.

I mean it. I'll do it.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Keep it real!

[♪]

[♪]

MORTY: Another fine meal.

And now for my Wizard tip calculator.

Dad, it's got lots of other functions.

Don't worry. I'll get to the other functions.

I can't get it open.

Yay! Jerry got it open.

The service was slow,

and God forbid they should refill the water.

How does, uh, 12.4 percent sound?

Well, your tip is $4

and 36.6666 cents.

and 36.6666 cents.

We'll round down.

Jerry, it was so nice of you to come down here

on your father's birthday.

You've helped take his mind off the condo election.

Oh, right. You can't run for condo president

because you were impeached at the other condo.

I was never impeached. I resigned!

Even so, the press would bury him.

What press?

The condo newsletter. The Boca Breeze.

Pinko commie rag.

Hey, Morty,

your boy here,

he just got a date with that young aquacise instructor.

She's 50.

You know what he's got?

He's got charisma. That's my man.

All right, I'll see you guys. Yeah.

Yeah.

Morty, what are you lookin' at?

I'll tell you what I'm looking at.

The next condo board president of Del Boca Vista,

The next condo board president of Del Boca Vista,

phase three.

[♪]

DARRYL: Elaine, thank you for the Wizard!

[LAUGHS]

Wow, it's got so many functions.

Yeah, yeah. Forget about all that.

First thing is first.

Warranty information.

Name. We know that.

Uh, hobbies. Skiing, racquetball--

I don't do that stuff.

It doesn't matter.

Um... Oh! Here's one.

Um... Oh! Here's one.

Race.

Isn't that optional?

It certainly should be.

It's nobody's damn business!

But they really would like to know.

All right. Asian.

What?

Just to mess with 'em.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Oh, right.

Good one.

"Average income." Uh...

over 100,000.

Really?

Does that matter?

No.

But it is very nice to know.

But it is very nice to know.

[LAUGHS]

[♪]

JERRY: So did you figure out

Darryl's...

You know.

Ah, I've given up.

So now we're going to a bunch of Spanish restaurants.

Figure that'll cover us either way.

You're a master of race relations.

Hey, so Kramer's running for president of the condo?

Yeah, it's all my father's doing.

[GIBBERS]

[GIBBERS]

He wants to install Kramer in a puppet regime

and then wield power from behind the scenes,

preferably from the sauna in the clubhouse.

[ELAINE LAUGHS]

Who are they running against?

Common sense and a guy in a wheelchair.

Jerry?

He's still down with his folks.

What are you doin' here?

Elaine, Elaine--

I'm gettin' his mail.

Oh, no.

He asked you to get the mail?

Mm-hm.

Jerry, why is Elaine getting your mail?

George, listen to me.

I have a very important job for you.

I have a very important job for you.

I want you to come by twice a day

and flush the toilet

so the gaskets don't dry out and leak.

What?

Well, what about the mail?

This is far more important.

You must exercise the gaskets, George.

All right, Jerry. I'll do it.

See ya.

So, I ran into the Rosses again.

Oh, right, at the coffee shop.

Where did they get the idea that you have a place

Where did they get the idea that you have a place

in the Hamptons?

From me.

What did you say?

I told them I have a place in the Hamptons.

What did you say?

I told them you didn't.

And I laughed, and I laughed.

[LAUGHS]

So they knew?

Those liars!

But you lied first.

Yeah, but they let me go on and on,

all about the Hamptons!

They never said a thing!

You don't let somebody lie

You don't let somebody lie

when you know they're lying.

You call them a liar!

Like you're a liar!

Yes, thank you! Was that so hard?

So this is over? Not over?

I'm bettin'...not over.

Not by a long shot.

I'm callin' up the Rosses and inviting them out

to my nonexistent place in the Hamptons.

Then we'll see who blinks first!

Haven't you done enough to these people?

This is not about them.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to exercise Jerry's gaskets.

I have to exercise Jerry's gaskets.

[♪]

KRAMER: Vote for Kramer.

Cosmo Kramer, running for condo president.

Like your vote. Thanks.

Remember, ma'am, a vote for me is a vote for Kramer.

Can you cut my meat?

Gladly.

[♪]

[♪]

Coffee? Sure.

Are you black?

Or should I bring some cream?

I'm black. Oh, you know what?

Bring a little cream.

Look at that.

Did you hear that?

What?

What?

There are still people who have trouble

with an interracial couple.

Interracial? Us?

I mean, isn't-- Isn't that unbelievable?

Yes, it's awful!

They're upset because we're an interracial couple?

Ha, that is racism!

I don't feel like eating.

Agh, me neither.

Well, maybe this turkey club.

So,

here I am

ready to take you to the Hamptons.

ready to take you to the Hamptons.

Sounds grand.

Do you have your bathing suits?

It's March.

Speak now, or we are headed to the Hamptons.

It's a two-hour drive.

Once you get in that car,

we are going all the way...

to the Hamptons.

All right. You want to get nuts?

Come on.

Come on.

Let's get nuts!

[♪]

JERRY: Hey, Dad?

You can program this thing to beep

every time you need to take a vitamin!

Dad, you look so different.

No, we're campaigning, Jerry.

To rule the people, one must walk among them.

This is the homestretch. Tomorrow's the election!

Right. Yeah.

Polls close after dinner, 3:00,

but then when we win,

the celebration goes all night

the celebration goes all night

until the break of 8 p.m.

[LAUGHS]

You know, you can put that whole schedule

right in your daily planner.

Daily what?

Have you read today's Boca Breeze?

Hey, look at that picture of me, huh? Yeah.

"Candidate Cosmo Kramer caught barefoot in clubhouse."

What?

Barefoot in the clubhouse?

Kramer, don't you realize this is against the rules?

Well, I couldn't find my shoes.

Kramer, these people work and wait their whole lives

to move down here, sit in the heat,

to move down here, sit in the heat,

pretend it's not hot,

and enforce these rules.

Who wants hot chocolate?

This is a huge scandal!

We need damage control.

All right, look.

People seem to like those tip calculators.

Wizards! How about if we give one out

to every member on the condo board?

Kramer...

There are 20 people on the board.

Thank God you can get that deal.

Payoffs. Now we're playin' politics!

All right, what do we do next, Morty, huh?

Wire taps? Slush funds?

Wire taps? Slush funds?

First I need a nap.

Ooh, I'll get your electric blanket.

Kramer, I can't get that many Wizards.

What about your deal?

I didn't have a deal!

They're $200 a pop. What do I do?

Don't worry about it. I know a guy.

Down here? Yeah,

Bob Sacamano's father.

[♪]

And that leads into the master bedroom.

Tell us more.

You want to hear more?

The master bedroom opens into the solarium--

Another solarium?

Another solarium?

Yes, two solariums. Quite a find.

And I have horses too.

What are their names?

Snoopy and Prickly Pete.

Should I keep driving?

Oh, look, an antique stand.

Pull over. We'll buy you a housewarming gift.

[CHUCKLING]

Housewarming gift.

All right, we're taking it up a notch!

All right, we're taking it up a notch!

[♪]

Here you go.

Long day?

Yeah. I just worked a triple shift.

I hear ya, sister.

Sister?

Yeah. It's okay. My boyfriend's black.

Here he is. See?

Hi, Elaine. Hey.

He's black?

Yeah.

I'm black?

Aren't you?

I'll give you a couple minutes to decide.

What are you talking about?

You're black.

You said we were an interracial couple.

You said we were an interracial couple.

We are because you're Hispanic.

I am?

Aren't you?

No. Why would you think that?

Your name's Benes. Your hair.

And you kept taking me to those Spanish restaurants.

That's because I thought you were black.

Why would you take me to a Spanish restaurant

because I'm black?

I don't think we should be talking about this.

So what are you?

I'm white.

So we're just a...

So we're just a...

couple of white people?

I guess.

Oh.

Yeah.

So do you want to go to the Gap?

Sure.

[♪]

Oh, well.

I handed out all the Wizards.

The polls close in one hour.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I think we got this baby all sewn up, huh?

Yeah. Oh, uh--

There was an extra one. Norman Bergerman.

There was an extra one. Norman Bergerman.

He won't be leavin' any tips where he is. Aw.

Congratulations, Mr. President.

Congratulations, Mr. Puppet Master.

Ha-ha. Hey, Morty.

What's wrong with these tip calculators?

What are you talking about?

It's overtipping.

I just left 5 bucks for a BLT.

Let me see that.

This isn't a Wizard, it's a Willard.

A Willard?

Sacamano Sr. screwed me!

Mine doesn't have a seven.

I'm ruined!

Jerry, why didn't you get them Wizards?

Jerry, why didn't you get them Wizards?

Because a real Wizard's $200!

You didn't have a deal?

No deal, not hot.

Morty, you and Kramer, you're finished.

What?

SID: Everyone vote for the guy in the wheelchair.

The people have spoken.

Well, that's it for me. I'm-- I'm headin' back to New York.

Dad, I'm sorry.

You should be!

How could you spend $200 on a tip calculator?!

It does other things!

It does other things!

[♪]

[♪]

Where are we, George?

Almost there.

This is the end of Long Island.

Where's your house?

We, uh, go on foot from here.

All right.

There's no house!

It's a lie!

There's no solarium. There's no Prickly Pete.

There's no other solarium.

We know.

Then why?

Why did you make me

drive all the way out here?!

Why didn't you say something?

Why? Why? Why?!

We don't like you, George.

And we always blamed you for what happened to Susan.

Oh.

All right.

Let's head back.

[♪]
