Trivia Larry Miller , stand-up comedian and close friend of Jerry Seinfeld , was considered for the role of George Costanza. He appears in the episode "The Doorman" as The Doorman. Goofs George Jason Alexander said he saw his father naked in The Statue , so he shouldn't be surprised he has breasts. Response: George never said at what age he saw his father naked. He could have seen his father naked 20 or more years earlier when he didn't have breasts. You can pick me up. Can we go to a later show, so he's off his shift when I come by?
So now we have to rearrange our lives to avoid the doorman? Elaine looks over at George, wondering what he's doing. George is holding the neck of his shirt open, and is peering down the inside of the garment at his chest.
As Elaine and Jerry watch, George jiggles his upper body, to see if there's any movement. George ends his experiment, and rises to leave. He digs in his wallet to pay the cheque. Pitt's Building] Jerry enters from the street, only to find the unpleasant doorman standing inside the lobby. The doorman's demeanour hasn't improved. What're you doing here? You're supposed to be gone. He had some personal affairs to attend to. You see, my fellow doorman and I watch out for each other.
We don't stab each other in the back, like people in your world. I don't have a doorman in my building. I guess I'm just not used to talking to them. I'd really just like to be friends. The doorman swaps places with Jerry, putting Jerry beside the counter. I'll be back in a minute. What do I do? You open the door for people who live here. And, if they don't live here, don't let them in.
The doorman goes out the door. Jerry takes off the hat, which he's not thrilled about wearing, and leans on the counter. The doors of an elevator open, and a young woman pushing a baby buggy emerges and heads for the exit. After a second, Jerry realises his job. He puts on the hat and opens the door to allow the woman to leave. AS he opens the door, a man enters and strolls past Jerry into the elevator vacated by the woman.
Wait a second. The man takes no notice of Jerry, the doors close. The street door opens and another, older guy, enters. Jerry moves and challenges him. You live here? I've lived here for twenty years. Now, if you don't let me in, I'm going to call the police and have you arrested.
Jerry steps aside and motions for the guy to carry on into the building, but he looks resentful about it. As the vehicle travels along the street, it rattles, shakes and shudders like all poorly maintained public transport.
George is strap-hanging, and he gets a worried look as he feels there might be some movement on his chest. He puts his hands on his chest, then notices another guy on the buss looking at him.
Self-consciously, George pulls his coat tight shut, and crosses his arms firmly. Pitt's Building] Jerry is standing behind the counter, reading the doorman's newspaper. A FedEx delivery guy enters with a package, lays it on the counter and scans a barcode on it with a little device he takes from his pocket.
Jerry watches, disinterested. There is a brief pause, as the FedEx guy waits for something. Jerry takes the FedEx guy's pen and signs for the package, then goes back to the newspaper.
Jerry gives the guy a hostile look, much as the doorman might. The FedEx guy leaves, looking a touch unhappy at Jerry's attitude. Jerry puts the paper down, and goes to have a look through the door. There's no sign of the doorman, so Jerry tosses the hat onto the counter, dismissing it with a wave of the hand as he moves to the elevator. I uh, brought back your record player, huh. Kramer dumps the record player on the chair. Frank goes to the couch, not moving very easily.
Your back hurt? You're carrying a lot of extra baggage up there. Top floor. Now, look at this. Kramer brings out a garment constructed of canvas and elasticated fabric. A bra is for ladies. Kramer holds the garment up to his own chest. George is miles away. What kind of woman was grandma? You get to a certain point, you wanna know about your roots.
What about physically? No, just my height. You wanna know if your grandmother was bosomy?! The information could be relevant. Pitt's Building] Elaine and Jerry ride down. You see the mind games? The bell rings as they reach the lobby, and the doors open.
Pitt's Building] Elaine and Jerry emerge into the lobby to find four or five tenants standing around, and a uniformed cop taking notes. What's going on here? Jerry and Elaine look shocked. How come someone wasn't watching the door? Elaine and Jerry depart the scene of the crime in some haste. Frank and Kramer are half-dancing to the music, as Frank tries on the bro.
Kramer stands behind Frank, making adjustments to the garment. The door opens and George and Estelle enter. They see the dancing twosome, and the undergarment, and look stunned. George is frozen, staring. Kramer carries on dancing, behind a relatively unfazed Frank. We were getting along. That doorman knows you're a friend of mine. He'll tell that co-op lady, she'll tell Mr. Jerry, I'm in this too deep.
Maybe he's setting me up! Shut up. Just let me think. I gotta think. We gotta get our story straight. This is what we'll tell 'em. You came to pick me up That's what I just said. I was just It's not helping. When George and his mother arrive at his apartment they catch Frank trying on the undergarment. Jerry thinks the doorman set him up; Jerry and Elaine try to think of an alibi. Pitt's building lobby, Elaine says nobody will believe a doorman's word, but he has the package with Jerry's signature as evidence.
Later at Monk's, Elaine says they must replace the stolen couch, and George suggests they should take his, because then his father won't have a place to sleep on and he will have to move back with his mother.
Jerry recalls that was the couch Poppie peed on " The Couch " , and George took while just turning the cushions. Kramer and Frank make a deal with Sid Farkus, a bra salesman, until Farkus implies he would like to invite Frank's estranged wife to dinner. Without the couch Frank doesn't know where he is going to sleep, but at the same time he realizes George had him sleep on urine.
As George's mother arrives she starts fighting again with Frank because she is going to dinner with Sid Farkus. Later, as Kramer walks the street carrying a stereo, the same German tourists who he had tried to "entertain" earlier see him and try to stop him in a scene alluding to Marathon Man. Kramer manages to stave off the anger in the crowd by introducing "the Bro" to them.
At Mr. Pitt's building Jerry and Elaine have delivered the couch. Poppie happens to be in the building visiting a friend. When he gets upstairs, Jerry tells Elaine that the man is "very peculiar" and refuses to leave until his shift ends, but Mr. Pitt calls and she is forced to miss their movie anyway.
Later, Jerry runs into the same man at his own building and ends up having to defend himself again. Elsewhere, Kramer fake-mugs George in front of some tourists so they will have an authentic NYC story to tell, and then goes to George's apartment, where his father Frank is staying with him during his separation from his wife Estelle. George gets an eyeful when Frank changes his shirt and later tells Jerry that his father has a rather womanly chest, fretting that the condition may be genetic.
