Seinfeld Episode 17 – The Busboy

Jerry, George, and Elaine are at dinner when a menu on an adjacent table catches on fire. George puts it out and explains to the manager that the busboy (David Labiosa) left the menu too close to a candle (although, in explaining the situation, he is hoping to get some free dessert as he is rather displeased with his pesto pasta) and Elaine jokingly declares she is never eating there again. The busboy is subsequently fired, upsetting Elaine and George. George and Kramer later go to his apartment to apologize, only to accidentally let his cat out of the apartment. A few days later, the busboy comes to see George, and tells him that there was an explosion at the restaurant, killing five employees, including the busboy hired to replace him. He thanks George for saving his life. Meanwhile, Elaine faces having her boyfriend (Doug Ballard) live with her for a week. Then, she tries to get him onto a plane back to Seattle, only to encounter a five-car pileup on Rockaway Blvd. With her boyfriend still with her, he gets into a fight down the hallway with the busboy, resulting in injuries on both ends.

Seinfeld Episode 16 – The Chinese Restaurant

Jerry, George and Elaine decide to get dinner without reservations at a Chinese restaurant before seeing Plan 9 From Outer Space but are repeatedly stymied by the maître d’ (played by James Hong). After they are repeatedly told they will receive a table in “5, 10 minutes”, a starving Elaine suggests bribing the maître d’. They suggest to bribe him with a $20 bill, splitting it three ways, in which George displays his notoriously cheap nature by only pitching in $6, saying that he wasn’t going to eat that much. Elaine mentions that she is so hungry that she would eat food off of another patron’s plate, so Jerry wagers $50 if she does. Elaine approaches a table and tells them her friends would give her $50 to eat one of their egg-rolls and she was willing to give them $25 of it. As she never actually verbalizes the offer, they just look at her, and she walks away, losing the wager. George gets frustrated when other patrons monopolize the phone, as he needs to use it to get in touch with his girlfriend Tatiana, who eventually calls but the maitre d’ calls “Cartwright” instead of “Costanza.” Jerry, having lied to his uncle that he could not make it to dinner, sees his uncle’s receptionist at the restaurant. Realising his cover is blown, he decides that he might as well call his uncle and have dinner with him after all. George and Elaine both agree to leave. As soon as they leave, the maitre d’ says ‘Seinfeld, four!
