Elaine's ex-boyfriend is recovering in the hospital and has surgery. The gang goes to visit. Kramer gets the idea to paint his apartment to simulate the feel of a ski lodge. While at the hospital, Kramer's concern about the operation gets him and Jerry in to watch. But when Kramer sneaks in a box of Junior Mints and forces one on Jerry, Jerry starts a chain reaction that causes the Junior Mints to land in Elaine's ex-boyfriend. Jerry thinks he may have killed the guy while George, who learns that he has recently come into some money, decides to invest in the ex-boyfriend's artwork.
Tropes:
- Least Rhymable Word: Jerry forgot to ask his newest girlfriend her name. Since it's too late to ask her directly, he tries to trick her into saying it but all he manages to find out is that it rhymes with a female body part. George goes through the rounds:George: Now let's try "breast"... Celeste... Kest...
Jerry: No.
George: Rest... Sest... Hest...
Jerry: "Hest"? That's not a name.
George: Well you should've just asked her.
Jerry: I know, I should've asked her.
George: What're you gonna do now?
Jerry: I dunno. I can't ask her now; I've already made out with her. Once you make out with a woman, you can't ask her her name.
George: Aretha!
Jerry: No...
George: Bovary!
Jerry: Alright, that's enough.- For the record, it's Dolores.
- Manly Tears: George cries at the ending to Home Alone.George: The old man got to me!
Jerry: (disgusted) All right, just get yourself together... I don't know if I can be friends with you anymore after this display.
George: (defensively) Aw shut up! - Pass the Popcorn: A hilariously inappropriate variation: Kramer decides to crack open a box of Junior Mints while watching a live surgery. This goes about as well as expected.
- Product Placement: Lampshaded in the outtakes:Kramer: Well who's gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It's chocolate, it's peppermint, it's delicious!
Jerry: (looks directly at the camera, smiling wide) That's true.
