‘The Mom & Pop Store’

Season 6, Episode 8 -  Aired November 17, 1994

George is excited to own a car which used to belong to a celebrity. Jerry wonders whether or not he's invited to a party being thrown by dentist Tim Whatley (guest star Bryan Cranston). Kramer supports a small business by taking in Jerry's sneakers to be cleaned.

Quote from George

George: You didn't get one?
Jerry: Ah, but he called me up and he asked for yours and Elaine's addresses, I'm sure that means I'm invited.
Kramer: Not necessarily.
Jerry: Hey, why would you call someone up and ask them for two addresses if you're not invited to the party?
George: [mocking Jerry] That's the genius of it.

Quote from Kramer

Pop: 48 years, Mom! And now we have to close! All because of that idiot and his bloody nose!
Kramer: [enters] Afternoon, Mom! Afternoon, Pop. You know you got a crack in the sidewalk out there? Now, you ought to get that fixed.

Quote from George

George: So?
Jerry: Come on, put the top up, it's November!
George: I feel alive, Jerry.
Jerry: Let's check out the glove box. Ah. Pencil.
George: Hey, you don't think... Sure, that's Jon Voight's pencil!
Jerry: With Jon Voight's teeth marks.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Owner's manual. You know what? This car was owned by Jon Voight.
George: Ah! See? I told you.
Jerry: Except Jon is spelled with an H. J-O-H-N.
George: So?
Jerry: Doesn't Jon Voight spell his name J-O-N?
George: [pulls over] So, what are you saying?
Jerry: Nothing. I'm sure "Jon" probably misspelled his own name. I know sometimes I spell Jerry with a G... and an I! [laughs]

Quote from Jerry

George: Did they take anything?
Jerry: No, they didn't even touch me. I tripped because of these stupid cowboy boots.
George: Anyway, again, I'm sorry about throwing you out of the car.
Jerry: You really seemed to enjoy it.
George: It was kinda fun.

Quote from George

George: You know, maybe his name really is J-O-H-N, but he changed it to J-O-N for show business. Well, you know, J-O-N is a lot zippier.
Jerry: Yeah, that's possible.
George: How would you find out something like that...wait a minute, what am I thinking? I've got the entire Yankee organization at my disposal.
Jerry: [to Elaine] He'll dispose of it.
George: Heh, that's right. See you later.

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: Well, I talked to Tim Whatley.
Jerry: Yeah.
Elaine: And I asked him, "Should Jerry bring anything?"
Jerry: So?
Elaine: Mmm. And he said, "Why would Jerry bring anything?"
Jerry: All right, but let me ask you this question.
Elaine: What? What?
Jerry: Which word did he emphasize? Did he say, "Why would Jerry bring anything?" or, "Why would Jerry bring anything?" Did he emphasize "Jerry" or "bring"?
Elaine: I think he emphasized "would."

Quote from Elaine

Elaine: All right, that's enough of this.
Jerry: Where you going?
Elaine: I gotta go to the Dixieland Deli to pick up Mr. Pitt's security pass for the parade.
Jerry: Why does he want to hold a rope underneath Woody Woodpecker in the Thanksgiving Day Parade?
Elaine: He finds his laugh "intoxicating." [laughs like Woody Woodpecker]

Quote from George

Jerry: No Jon Voight Day, huh?
George: No. Now I'll always have this doubt about the car.

Quote from Kramer

George: Jon Voight, are you kidding me?! Did you talk to him?
Kramer: Well, he was a little standoffish.
George: What, you didn't ask him about the car?
Kramer: No, I couldn't. His cab pulled away. But he did make an impression on me. Look.
Jerry: What?
Kramer: His tooth marks. He bit me.
George: Jon Voight bit you?
Jerry: What is he, a vampire?
Kramer: No, it's justifiable. He thought I was going for his wallet.
George: He left perfect imprints.
Kramer: That he did. Now, you've got that pencil with the bite marks on it? We get a trained eye to match them, and we'll see if you're driving Jon Voight's car.
