After a tortuous evening with a new girlfriend, George tells her they should stop seeing each other. He then makes the mistake of accommodating her when she insists on hearing the reason.
Tropes:
- Can't Take Criticism: George throws a fit when Elaine says that he is ‘extremely careful with money’.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: George remarks that he's driven women to lesbianism before, but says he hasn't in an episode the following season when he sees Susan with a woman. Though, it is likely George was being dramatic here.
- Please Put Some Clothes On: Elaine begs Kramer to put some clothes on when she sees him wearing nothing but a towel.
- Pretentious Pronunciation: George's girlfriend calls his doorman Sammy Samuel, but she pronounces it "Sam-u-EL". She also pronounces it papier maché. George actually calls her pretentious.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After George reveals he broke up with his girlfriend, who happens to be handling Jerry's audit, Kramer (who had previously overheard Jerry describe what he'd have done to him if George wasn't helping him with the audit) immediately gets up and leaves.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: George to Patrice when he breaks up with her.Patrice: I want the truth.
George: The truth. you want the truth? It is your earrings! It is the chopsticks! But it's so much more. You're pretentious. You call everyone by their full name. You call my doorman, Sammy, "Samuel". But you didn't even say "Samuel" You went "Sam-U-EL. Papie-eh mache? What is papie-eh mache?
