[edit] Notes About Nothing
- Lawrence Tierney plays Elaine's father Alton Benes. Lawrence has a long list of movie and television credits dating back to the 1940s and is an infamous brawler. While on the set he scared the Seinfeld cast and crew so much - allegedly taking a meat knife from Jerry's kitchen set and hiding it under his jacket - that they never asked him back.
- Bud Abbott, who George mentions is half of the comedy duo Abbott and Costello.
- Kramer mentions this episodes misadventure with the doves, which we hear about but don't see, again in The Stranded (season 3).
[edit] Quotes
- "The back? They never find anything in the back. If they had anything good in the back they'd put it out in the front." - Elaine
- "I'm worried I won't be able to talk to him [Elaine's father], he's such a great writer. Frankly, I perfer the company of nitwits." - Jerry
- "Can I say one thing to you? And I say this with an unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality ... It's fabulous." - George on Jerry's new jacket
- "We had a funny guy with us in Korea. A tailgunner. They blew his brains out all over the Pacific. ... There's nothing funny about that." - Alton Benes
- "Pendant? Those bastards!" - Alton Benes
- "Pipe down chorus boy!" - Alton Benes to George
