[edit] Plot

George's father gets him an interview as a brassiere salesman. Evidence points to Jerry's accountant being a cocaine user. Jerry, Kramer and Newman set up a sting to find out the truth. Elaine's new boyfriend is perfect except for his unwillingness to use exclamation points.

[edit] Trivia

  • Although Elaine and her boyfriend, Jake Jarmel, break up during this episode when he doesn't put an exclamation point on a post-it note, they briefly get back together in the season finale, "The Opposite."
  • Christa Miller had a brief role as a bra saleswoman, in which George touched her briefly, resulting in his firing. She would later play a different role as George's girlfriend in season 6's "The Doodle. Later in this season, one of her Scrubs co-stars, Sam Lloyd, aka Ted Buckland, appeared as this weird guy who had the hots for Elaine in The Cigar Store Indian & The Pie."
  • The mohair sweater Kramer wears in the bar is the same sweater worn by Mrs. Sokol's daughter in Season 3's "The Boyfriend (Part 2)" on her second date with George.
  • Kramer's impressive display of simultaneous drinking and smoking required two takes to get right. After the first attempt, Michael Richards let out a loud and unscripted belch that necessitated a second try at the scene.
  • Michael Richards considers this episode one of his favorites.
  • The exclamation point is mentioned again in "The Muffin Tops".
