George's boss worries he's stressing out on the job because he purposely looks annoyed all the time. Elaine agrees to host a marathon runner who once slept through his alarm and missed an important race. Meanwhile, Kramer installs a hot tub in his apartment.

Quote from Kramer

George: What's going on?
Kramer: I fell asleep in the hot tub and the heat pump broke. Water went down to 58 degrees. I can't get my core temperature back up!
Jerry: Your core temperature?
Kramer: [to Jean-Paul] Here, feel my hand. [takes off glove] Yeah, feel.
Jean-Paul: This son of a bitch is ice-cold.

Jerry: Very lucky to find this hotel, Jean-Paul.
Jean-Paul: Man, I just want to get some sleep.
Jerry: All right. Let's check out the clock. Notch good, 6:50, volume check. [music plays] What kind of music you wanna wake up to? Top 40, classical...
Jean-Paul: Man, whatever!
Jerry: How about adult contemporary?
Jean-Paul: Fine, adult contemporary. Just pick one.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: [on the hotel phone] Yeah, this is room 419. I'd like a wake-up call for 6:50 AM tomorrow morning.
Man: Yes, sir.
Jerry: That's room 419. 6:50 AM. Four... one... nine...
Man: Yes, I got it sir. You only had to say it once.
Jerry: I know, but it's a very important wake-up call, and I don't want to take any chances.
Man: Every wake-up call I make is important. You're no more important than any of our guests.
Jerry: Well, I just don't wanna get into a whole thing with you here...
Man: Are you through?
Jerry: Yeah I am, but I just... [dial tone]

Jean-Paul: Man, he doesn't got "in" for you.
Jerry: What if he doesn't call now out of spite?
Jean-Paul: It is his job!
Jerry: [sits down] Not comfortable.
Jean-Paul: For God's sake.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Feel much better here at my home base, Jean-Paul. It's a controlled environment.
Jean-Paul: It's a marathon, you know. 26 miles! I need to get some sleep!
Jerry: Hey, believe me, if I'd been with you there in Barcelona, you'd be polishing that medal right now.
Jean-Paul: I left a comfortable hotel bedroom for this!
Jerry: That wake-up guy was trouble!

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: Man, that thing is noisy!
Kramer: [shouts] Yeah yeah, we're cracking along pretty good! We're almost up to 80 degrees!
Jerry: Yeah, listen, do me a favor. Set your mental alarm for 6:30 and gimme a call.
Kramer: Yeah, okay. Wait. [concentrates and then makes a pop sound] Done!
