The Deal (Ep. 213)

Jerry and Elaine want to sleep together, but want to stay friends. So they lay out ground rules to keep the relationship good. 1. No phone calls the next day, 2. Spending the night is optional, 3. No kiss goodnight. They do this thinking it's a genius idea, but George points out Jerry's mistake...women always want to spend the night. Sure enough, Jerry opts to not spend the night and Elaine gets upset. Later, Jerry has to decide what to get Elaine for her birthday, but is having a hard time. He wants to get something nice, but not too nice, because he doesn't want her to get the wrong idea. He ends up giving her $182 cash and a card in which he calls her his "pal...and more." Upset, she decides she want it all or no friendship. They decide to date again.

Interesting fact: Elaine and Jerry had an entire long conversation about sex without ever using the word "sex."

Interesting quote:
"What are you two going to do today?" (Kramer)
"Oh, this...and that." (Elaine)
"And the other." (Jerry)
"I liked it better when you two weren't a couple" (Kramer)

Grade: B (Not incredibly complex, but the writing for the one scene between Jerry and Elaine was genius!)
