Jerry notices some stranger than usual things about Kramer after he has been kicked in the head by "Crazy" Joe Davola and suspects he's got a concusion. He tells Kramer that he's going to take him to the doctor after his meeting with NBC. Him and George managed to land a follow up meeting with them after their not-so-good first meeting. Jerry convinces George to change his tune and not be so set on the idea.
George completely flip-flops and starts talking about how story is the most important aspect of a good show. This seems to appease the execs and they say that they want to make a pilot. They offer them $13,000 for a pilot episode. This makes George mad as he assumes they would be getting much more than that since Ted Danson makes $800,000 an episode for appearing on Cheers. While in the coffee shop after the meeting they spot Joe Davola outside and are scared to leave because he is supposedly looking for them.
Newman recruits Kramer to go to traffic court with him to contest his ticket. He's contesting on the basis that he was rushing to see Kramer who was about to commit suicide. They come up with the idea that he was depressed because he could not be a banker. Things are going semi-well until Kramer's concussion starts to backfire and he can't remember what he was supposed to say in court. Newman ends up paying the fine anyway.
Interesting fact: This is the first appearance of Susan, George's girlfriend and eventual fiancee.
Interesting quote: "Artistic integrity? What was that all about? You aren't artistic and you have no integrity!" - Jerry
Grade: B (interesting episode, but I miss Elaine)
