Our Commentary
KRAMER: Hi, I'm H.E. Pennypacker. I'm a wealthy American industrialist uh, looking to open a silver mine in the mountains of Peru and uh, before I invest millions in a lucrative mine, I, I'd like to go a little native. Uh, Get the feel of their condiments, of their unmentionables, you know, the real uh, gritty-gritty.
He notices a bowl of chips beside the register and helps himself to some.
GLADYS: Well, lemme show you what we have.
KRAMER: Well uh, I think I can just browse around on my own.
KRAMER: (re the chips) Hmm, Macchu Picchu. Are these free?
GLADYS: Yeah.
KRAMER: Hmm-mmm.
We also have a return of Kramer's "occupado!" and Elaine saying that he screwed her again, even though that was his first appearance. I love when Jerry gulps the wine and says, "mmm, good", Newman with his "a little Jerry, for a lot of Elaine", and then finally, Steinbrenner, in one of his all-time great eps. Overall, a solidly hilarious episode with tons of funniness all over, well deserved to be in the Top 25. Adam - Excellent episode. Kramer asking if the chips are free even though he's a billionaire, and his waking up from the nightmare is truly hilarious also. How Steinbrenner doesn't even address George, as how can George be so crazy with his destruction of the world series trophy, but he goes so far to say that he's disappointed in him as body suit man, and how could body suit man perpetrate such a heinous crime. We're just talkin' and those are my everyday balloons basically sums up this truly funny episode.
