Former Seinfeld writer Bob Shaw makes a brief appearance as a New York cabbie who pulls over to allow Elaine to chase after a man with attractive eyeglass frames. He returned to play the role later in the season in "The Understudy."
EPISODE SUMMARY
George meets an old friend who's spent the last few months undergoing chemotherapy that everyone knew except him. Kramer calls a litterbug "a pig" near a cop who's on a quest to catch a longtime parking ticket scofflaw. Kramer wanting to change his image asks Elaine where her old boyfriend got his glasses. He goes to see him at a book signing and says hi for Elaine that means that she has lost the "upper hand" in their breakup, so she confronts him and then gets even by getting a copy of his glasses. George finds out from Gary, that he lied about his cancer and has been taking advantage of Jerry's kindness. Kramer discovers the identity of "the scofflaw." George gets a toupee.
Quotes
- Jerry: I don't think I can be that nice. George: You be nice!
- Jerry: (to George, who is buying a toupée) Why don't you get a pair of white shoes, move down to Miami Beach and get the whole thing over with?
- Kramer: I need a new look. I'm stagnating.
- George: Was he on his death bed? Jerry: No, he was on his regular bed.
- Elaine: I had the upper hand in the post-breakup relationship. If he thinks that I said hi, then I lose the upper hand. Jerry: It's like a game of tag.

- Gary: The thing is...I've been living a lie. George: Just one? I'm living like twenty.
- Gary: (about the mysterious woman from Monk's) She won't talk to anyone. Oh no. She won't say a word to anybody. Well, she's talking to Blue Streak now, Jack!
- Cabbie: Good. Revenge is very good.
- Cabbie: Smugness is not a good quality.
Jerry: What's this? Kramer: It's an eye patch. Jerry: You look like a pirate. Kramer: I wanna be a pirate.

- The cop refers to the scofflaw he's been pursuing for so long as his "white whale", a reference to Herman Melville's classic novel Moby Dick, where Captain Ahab became obsessed with hunting down and killing a white whale called Moby Dick.
