“It’s not illegal.”
“It’s against the law.”
“Well, yeah!”
- Jerry and Kramer
The Baby shower opens in Monk’s. Jerry, George and Elaine
are having lunch and Elaine is planning a baby shower for a friend who happens
to be a former girlfriend of George’s whom he currently holds a grudge against
for ruining his new red shirt (she spilled chocolate sauce on it during a
performance art piece she was performing).
Jerry allows Elaine use of his apartment for the shower
while he is out of town for a stand up show in Buffalo. He also allows Kramer to install
illegal cable at the same time, though Kramer really has to work to convince
him (56 channels, Jerry!). George, meanwhile, plots his revenge against the
woman who ruined his shirt.
On the flight to Buffalo Jerry dreams that his illegal cable
hook up results in the FBI raiding his home and putting about 4 dozen rounds in
his chest Tarantino style. He wakes up on the plane sitting next to Earl
Milford (you can always tell a Milford
man!)
But a storm cancels Jerry’s show so George picks him up at
the airport back in New York
and offers to take him back to the apartment. Jerry would rather go to George’s
apartment to avoid the baby shower. George insists they go back to Jerry’s
apartment. Jerry notices that George is wearing his ruined red shirt and
figures out that George has a plan to get back at the woman. They get back to
the apartment but George chickens out when it comes time to confront her. But
another woman at the shower confronts Jerry about not calling her back for a
second date after telling her he would. As she storms out she brushes up
against George’s nemesis which causes her to spill the cake she’d been holding
on George’s shirt, thus ruining it for a second time.
Finally, Jerry confronts the Russian cable guys and tells
them he doesn’t want the cable and won’t pay them $400. They respond by
breaking his television. The characters sit around the broken TV reflecting on
their lot in life.
