‘The Cadillac’

Season 7, Episode 14 -  Aired February 8, 1996

Hot off a well-paid gig, Jerry buys his father his dream car, a Cadillac, which causes resentment in Morty's retirement community. A friend of Elaine tells George that she would have introduced him to the actress Marisa Tomei if he weren't engaged. Meanwhile, Kramer feuds with a cable guy.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: No, to tell you the truth, I was thinking of buying my father a new car.
Kramer: Now, you see, that's nice.
Jerry: Maybe a Cadillac.
Kramer: Cadillac. Ooh-la-la.
Jerry: Yeah. That would really blow his mind. He's always wanted one his whole life. He's never been able to afford it. I'm gonna do it.
Kramer: You're gonna score some big points with the man upstairs on this one.
Jerry: Oh, isn't that what it's all about?

Quote from George

Elaine: You remember Katy?
George: Oh, hi. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We met uh, skiing that time. You're uh, married to the eye guy.
Katy: Also ear, nose and throat.
George: Nose. What's the worst that can happen to a nose? What does it get? Stuffed?
Katy: He's funny.
Elaine: Eh, you don't have to tell me.

Quote from Jerry

George: Well, you know Katy, Elaine's friend?
Jerry: Yeah?
George: She happens to be very good friends with her.
Jerry: Marisa Tomei?
George: Uh-hmm.
Jerry: How does she know Marisa Tomei?
George: I don't know, I didn't ask.
Jerry: You didn't ask how she knows Marisa Tomei?
George: Not the point!
Jerry: All right.
George: Can I finish?
Jerry: Go ahead. Seems like a reasonable question, is all I'm saying. I would've asked her.

Quote from George

George: I mean, you've seen her, right?
Jerry: Katharine Hepburn? Oh yeah.
George: Marisa Tomei!
Jerry: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
George: I mean, she's beautiful, right? She's just my type. The dark hair, the full lips.
Jerry: You like full lips.
George: Oh, I love full lips. Something you can really put the lipstick on.
Jerry: Mmm-mmm. Too bad you're engaged.
George: Yeah, too bad. Too bad.

Quote from George

George: Listen, let me ask you a question. What if I got a cup of coffee with her?
Jerry: Well, what about Susan?
George: I can't have a cup of coffee with a person?! I'm not allowed to have coffee?!
Jerry: Would you tell Susan about it?
George: Not necessarily.
Jerry: Well, if you can't tell Susan about it, then there's something wrong.
George: Of course there's something wrong! We had a pact!

Quote from George

Susan Ross: Hey. Hey, what are you watching? What is that? My Cousin Vinnie?
George: Yeah.
Susan Ross: I thought you saw that before. How come you're watching that again?
George: I..I.. I dunno.
Susan Ross: Did you know Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for that? Boy, she's beautiful, don't you think? I wish I looked like that. [George is silent] Turn it off. You're making me jealous. I'm gonna think you like her more than you like me.
George: [forced chuckle]

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: I can't believe you're buying your father a car.
Jerry: And, best of all, it's a Cadillac.
Elaine: [gasps] A Cadillac! Wow. [getting flirty] I had no idea you had this kind of money.
Jerry: Ah, I uh, I don't like to talk about it.
Elaine: Yeah, I thought you were doing okay. I just didn't think you were in this kind of, you know, uh... position.
Jerry: Ah, it's just money.
Elaine: [smiles] So, when're you getting back from Florida?
Jerry: Oh, I don't know, play it by ear. Why?
Elaine: I don't know. [smiles] Just things seem a little more exciting when you're around. That's all.
Jerry: Are you okay?
Elaine: [squeaky] Sure, sure.
Jerry: What was that?

Quote from Morty Seinfeld

Helen Seinfeld: Morty, what do you have to open this box for? There's already a box of cookies open.
Morty Seinfeld: I wanted a Chip Ahoy.
Helen Seinfeld: I don't like all these open boxes.
Morty Seinfeld: Look, I got a few good years left. If I want a Chip Ahoy, I'm having it.

Quote from Helen Seinfeld

Helen Seinfeld: He's not buying us a Cadillac.
Morty Seinfeld: What are you, nuts?
Helen Seinfeld: It's a very nice gesture, Jerry, but take it back.
Morty Seinfeld: Can you believe this?!
Helen Seinfeld: I'm not letting him buy us a Cadillac. He hasn't got that kind of money.
Jerry: How do you know?
Helen Seinfeld: Oh, get out of here Mister Big Shot.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Why can't I buy my father a car?
Helen Seinfeld: Your father doesn't need a car.
Morty Seinfeld: Yes, I do!
Helen Seinfeld: Oh, Morty.
Morty Seinfeld: We're keeping it.
