PLOT


Jerry and Elaine see George 's father, Frank Costanza , with a man in a cape but don't say hello. Jerry talks to a woman, Donna Chang (played by Angela Dohrmann ), on George's phone line after the wires get crossed and he gets a date with her, thinking she's Chinese because of her surname. Kramer goes to a fertility clinic. Elaine ruins her friend Noreen's latest romance with a "long talker". George's life is made miserable when the man in the cape is revealed to be Frank's lawyer and His Parents Are Separating . Kramer discovers he has a low Sperm count and must stop wearing jockey shorts. Boxer shorts make him feel uncomfortable, so he decides to wear no underwear at all.

Later, Jerry meets Donna, who is not Chinese, but actually shortened her last name Changstein to Chang while taking on stereotypically Chinese interests, such as Acupuncture .

Donna talks over the phone to George's mother, Estelle , convincing her not to divorce (by citing Confucius ).
When George introduces Donna to his parents, Estelle realizes she is not Chinese and doesn't acknowledge her advice, deciding to go on with the divorce.


SUPERMAN REFERENCE

  • Jerry: You can't cast aspersions on someone just because they're wearing a cape. Superman wore a cape! And I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand here and let you say something bad about him.



TRIVIA

  • Larry David makes an uncredited appearance as the man in the cape.

  • At the end scene when Jerry, George, and Elaine are standing across the street from the apartment there is a Coca Cola at the back of them, but both the C's are missing. This is most likely to get through copyright infringements.



QUOTES

  • Elaine: Donna Chang?

    • :Jerry: I shoulda talked to her. I love Chinese women.

:Elaine: Isn't that a little racist?
:Jerry: If I like their race, how can that be racist?
  • Estelle: Who are you?

    • :Donna: I'm Donna Chang.

:Estelle: (recoils) You're not Chinese!
  • Jerry: So did they, uh, uncross the lines, yet?

    • :Donna: No. They can't find the problem. It's really getting ridicurous.

:Jerry: ...Did you say..."ridicurous"?
  • Elaine: She's not Chinese?

    • :Jerry: No, not Chinese. Not even Asian.

:Elaine: So, what is she?
:Jerry: Well, she's... like you.
:Elaine: Oh, how ''disappointed'' you must have been.

Kramer: I need the secure packaging of jockeys. My BOYS need a house.
