| 1 | Jerry and George get the go ahead for their pilot from NBC executives, and Kramer agrees to be Newman's alibi for a speeding ticket. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | !!Tropes: |
| 4 | * CourtroomEpisode: The B-plot is about Kramer and Newman going to court to contest the latter's traffic ticket. |
| 5 | * DrivenToSuicide: Supposedly Newman had to break traffic law to save Kramer because Kramer was going to kill himself because he could not become a banker. |
| 6 | * HamToHamCombat: in universe, Newman's perjury scheme falls apart because he and Kramer become too excited going at each other while Kramer is on the witness stand. |
| 7 | * HypocriticalHumor: |
| 8 | ** Newman loses his cool entirely when Kramer (suffering from a concussion after being kicked in the head by [[AxCrazy Joe Davola]]) forgets the alibi they rehearsed while in court, and then claims that he wants a recess to help Kramer compose himself. |
| 9 | --->'''Newman''': Your Honour, Mr. Kramer is clearly very distraught!\ |
| 10 | '''Kramer''': ''I'm'' distraught? |
| 11 | ** George had spent this and [[Recap/SeinfeldS4E3ThePitch the previous episode]] insisting that he and Jerry would get at least $50,000 from NBC for their sitcom idea, and is then furious when they only offer $13,000. Which is precisely why he dismisses Newman asking if they're getting at least $50,000 by claiming that money isn't important. Particularly funny given that George is possibly the cheapest character on the show and the biggest money-grubber. |
| 12 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: Newman's explanation for his speeding ticket. |
