Storylines: George puts out a fire, which leads to a bus boy getting fired. George and Kramer visit the bus boy’s apartment, only to leave the door open for his cat to run away. Elaine has a houseguest who drives her crazy. Elaine’s houseguest and the bus boy get in a fight after a scuffle in the hallway.
Personal Take: Elaine’s monologue about her trip to beat the Van Wyck with a shortcut and get her houseguest to the airport is some of the best acting the series ever sees. She’s dramatic, then sorrowful after she tells that her trip wasn’t successful. Her facial expressions were captivating. Even throughout the rest of the episode, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has some of her earliest moments of brilliance. She also has a great scene when she scrambles to get her houseguest dressed and ready to leave for the airport.
I personally am lukewarm on how much I like this episode. The bus boy is just a stupid character that was poorly executed. Having said that, it’s still a great episode in that the trend it sets for the series after making the connection of two different storylines becomes a staple of the show and its great writing.
Other notes:
I love how the opening dialogue unfolds, culminated by the analogy of Seattle being the Pesto of cities. Clever little bit of dialogue.
Gaps in Society: This episode just goes to show that you can’t be too careful about whom you let come in as a houseguest. Whether today’s society really frowns upon it or not (which it doesn’t), having someone of the opposite sex (non-spouse) live with you, if even for a week, can create awkward, uncomfortable situations that people shouldn’t get themselves into. Elaine has to come up with a fib about being on her period because she doesn’t want to have sex with him, which is ironic considering that most people these days would just assume that sex is a part of the situation, already adding tension to a stressful situation.
Jerry’s bits: He confesses that he has stolen foods off of tray tables in hallways at hotels, after mentioning that people shouldn’t be so picky about their food. He later mentions that he’s most afraid of missing his flight. “Sorry, we don’t have another plane. We do have a canon, though." He closes with how boxers fight despite not having any prior arguments.
Best Lines:
George: How did you get this?
Elaine: Does the word ‘charm’ mean anything to you?
Jerry: No.
Tidbits: Jerry’s apartment is labeled 3A in this episode, not 5A like it is for most of the series.... The building where the bus boy lives is the same building where Kramer’s holistic healer lives in “The Heart Attack.” ... This is the first time Kramer is seen outside of his apartment building. It’s also the first time he’s seen without Jerry.
Running jokes/references/connections:
For some reason, the group doesn’t have good luck with alarm clocks. This is the first of a few occasions where the alarm clock doesn’t wake them up; Elaine oversleeps the morning she wanted to take her houseguest to the airport. One of a few other alarm-clock fiascos is in “The Hot Tub” episode.... This is the first time we get an understanding of George’s knowledge of great bathrooms and other bathroom-related aspects (i.e. toilet paper, private bathrooms).
