‘The Raincoats’

Season 5, Episode 18 -  Aired April 28, 1994

Jerry is struggling get a moment alone with his girlfriend because his parents are in town. After Kramer and Morty go into business together selling old raincoats, George decides to try sell his father's unused clothing. Meanwhile, Elaine dates a "close-talker", Aaron (guest star Judge Reinhold), who seems more interested in spending time with Helen and Morty Seinfeld.

Quote from Frank Costanza

Frank Costanza: You burned them? Those clothes are not yours to burn.
Rudy: Who are you anyways?
Frank Costanza: I'm the father.
Rudy: He said his father was dead.
Frank Costanza: He said I was dead?
Rudy: That's right. Squeezed an extra twenty-five dollars out of me.
Frank Costanza: That's what my life is worth to him? Twenty-five dollars.

Quote from Kramer

Rudy: You can keep your raincoats. I'm not interested.
Kramer: I thought we had a deal?
Frank Costanza: That's another one of my shirts!!
Rudy: I'm not buying anymore clothes from anyone off the street.
Morty Seinfeld: Who's off the street? I'm in the raincoat business for thirty-five years.
Rudy: Yeah? How do I know there aren't moths like his stuff?
Frank Costanza: My clothes don't have moths!
Morty Seinfeld: Because of his moths you're not buying my raincoats?
Rudy: That's right.
Kramer: [laughing] I'm all ticklish. [a group of moths fly out of Kramer's shirt]

Quote from Elaine

Morty Seinfeld: Okay, let's go.
Helen Seinfeld: [to Aaron] It was so nice of you to come to the airport to see us off.
Aaron: Are you sure you can't stay a little longer?
Jerry & Elaine: No!

Quote from Jerry

Helen Seinfeld: [as Aaron hugs her and Morty] We'll call you when we get home.
Aaron: Thank you.
Jerry: I think she meant me, but...

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Hi, Mr. Goldstein. Is Rachel home?
Mr. Goldstein: I'm afraid Rachel's not going to be able to see you tonight, or any other night for that matter.
Jerry: Why what did I do?
Mr. Goldstein: You know very well. I heard about your behavior at the movies the other night. It was disgraceful. You should be ashamed of yourself. I for one will not allow my daughter to be involved with someone of such weak moral fiber. Fortunately, my postman happened to have witnessed the entire incident. A heavy set fellow, I believe lives in your building. Now, if you don't mind.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: So my parents get home, they open the door, my father flicks the light on, the whole place is cleaned out. Everything.
Elaine: [gasps] Get Out! How did it happen?
Jerry: The broken window. Klompus never fixed it. They just walked right in.
Elaine: Oh, boy. They could use a vacation.
Jerry: Yeah, they're taking one. The travel agent is trying to set something else up for them.
Elaine: So how about that Aaron?
Jerry: Whew.
Elaine: You know what drove me crazy about him? Did you ever notice that he stood too close to you when he talked?
Jerry: No, I hadn't noticed.

Quote from Jerry

Newman: [at the counter] Pair of bear claws please.
Jerry: Hi, Newman.
Newman: Hello, Jerry.
Jerry: Say, I happened to catch you coming out of Schindler's List the other night.
Newman: Oh, were you there?
Jerry: Yes, I was.
Newman: [lost for words] Ah... I-it's a... It's a... powerful film.
Jerry: Yes. Shocking brutality, don't you think?
Newman: Shocking.
Jerry: Yes, well that was nothing. [chases after Newman]

Quote from Jerry

Jack: [on the phone] Hello Jerry,
Jerry: Yea.
Jack: It's Jack Klompus.
Jerry: Oh, hi, Jack.
Jack: So when are you coming down to Florida again?
Jerry: As soon as is humanly possible.
Jack: You know, I still got that pen. The one that writes upside down.
Jerry: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I should have kept it.

Quote from Morty Seinfeld

Aaron: I was able to finagle two more tickets to "My Fair Lady" and I thought why not ask Morty and Helen.
Elaine: Great.
Morty Seinfeld: This is some office. What's the square footage?
Helen Seinfeld: You don't mind to you Elaine?
Elaine: Mind? Oh, of course not.
Aaron: We can make a whole day of it.
Morty Seinfeld: This is some building. Harry Fleming used to have an office here. There was a deli on the first floor. You don't get corned beef like that anymore. What happened to that deli?
Elaine: I really don't know, Mr. Seinfeld.
