Season 9, Episode 23 -  Aired May 14, 1998

When NBC shows interest in Jerry's TV show again, the network offers him the use of their private jet. After the plane makes an unscheduled landing in Latham, Massachusets, the group witness a robbery and fail to intervene. Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer are put on a trial under a Good Samaritan law, which sees a parade of people from their past testify about their character.

Quote from Jerry

D.A. Hoyt: Your Honor, the prosecution has gone to great lengths and considerable cost to find these character witnesses. It is imperative that we establish this is not merely an isolated incident. It's part of a pattern of anti-social behavior that's been going on for years.
Judge Vandelay: Objection overruled. I'll hear the witness.

Quote from Kramer

D.A. Hoyt: So Mr. Costanza parked in a handicapped spot, and as a result you got in an accident, and your wheelchair was destroyed?
Lola: That's right.
D.A. Hoyt: And then Mr. Kramer gave you a used wheelchair?
Lola: That's right.
[flashback to her screaming as she rolls uncontrollably down a hill]

Quote from Kramer

D.A. Hoyt: All right, Detective, then what happened?
Detective: We got a tip that a lot of prostitutes had been turning tricks in the parking lot.
[flashback to a garishly dressed Kramer tussling with a woman who he ejected from his car]
D.A. Hoyt: So Cosmo Kramer was, in fact, a pimp.

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: Do they make you wear uniforms in prison?
Elaine: I think so.
Jerry: It's not that bright orange one is it?
Elaine: I hope it's not that one, because I cannot wear orange.
Kramer: Will you stop worrying? Jackie's going to get us off. He never loses. How about when he asked that cop if a black man had ever been to his house. Did you see the look on his face?

Quote from Elaine

Jerry: Hey, Elaine. What was it you were about to say to me on the plane when it was going down?
Elaine: I've always loved... United Airlines.

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: I think it's going to be okay. That girl just smiled at me.
Jerry: Maybe because she knows you're going to jail.
Kramer: What?
