Jerry, George, and Elaine wait in a Chinese Restaurant before going to see the classic B-movie, Plan 9 From Outer Space. Jerry lies to his uncle to get out of meeting with him and then runs into a lady from his uncle's office. George gets mad trying to get to the pay phone to call his girlfriend, Tatiana. Elaine is getting frustrated at the wait because she is apparently very, very hungry. To top it all off, they keep getting jumped by various people who come in after them. In the end they decide to skip the movie because they won't make it in time. By the time they leave the restaurant, the host calls out, "Seinfeld party of four."
The executives at NBC didn't like this script when they first read it because it was one long scene and didn't supposedly have a plot. Because of that, they didn't actually air it until the end of the second season. It went on to become one of the favorite episodes of the show.
Interesting facts: James Hong who plays Bruce, the host/owner, has had a total of 331 acting roles since his acting debut in 1955. One of only 2 episodes not starring Michael Richards as Kramer.
Interesting quotes: "For fifty bucks? I'd put my face in their soup and blow!" - George
Grade: A+ (Great story line and amazing writing to contain one episode in one scene)
