SEINFELD "The Best Sitcom Ever" Series - "The Raincoats Part 2" SEINFACT

Seinfeld

"The Raincoats Part 2" SEINFACT:

The idea of having Jerry making out during Schindler's List was for the benefit of Steven Spielberg who the writers had heard was a fan of Seinfeld. The final scene where Aaron claims he could have done more to get the Seinfelds to Paris is a parody of the end of Schindler's List.

[]Notes

Jerry Seinfeld commented that the references to Schindler's List were included after learning that Steven Spielberg got so depressed while filming the movie that he would watch tapes of Seinfeld episodes to cheer himself up.

This is the first episode where someone other than Jerry says "Hello, Newman". In this case, Helen says it.

Newman...

 

• Jerry: I happened to watch you coming out of Schindler's list the other night.

Newman(nervous): Oh, were you there?
Jerry: Yes, I was.
Newman: P.. Powerful film.
Jerry: Yes, shocking brutality, don't you think?
Newman(ever more nervous): Shocking.
Jerry: Yeah, well that was nothing!
Newman: Arghh!! (runs away, Jerry chases after him.)

Jerry and his girlfriend get some time alone with each other at a movie, Schindler's List, they don't see it; however, Newman sees it and them. A delay in the shipment of the raincoats will make the Seinfelds miss their flight to France, George uses this as an opportunity to get his "little" brother back to his father. The Seinfelds manage to avoid meeting the Costanzas in New York City.
