Seinfeld Season 9 Episode 15
Jerry buys his dad a $200 Wizard organizer for a birthday present. George receives a message from Susan’s parents, the Rosses. Jerry and George debate about the race of Elaine’s new boyfriend and that intrigues her (is he black?). George returns the call from the Rosses; the Foundation is having an event this weekend, but George can’t attend, he has to close on his house in the Hamptons. Kramer announces his retirement, a Hollywood big shot has optioned his coffee table book about coffee tables. Elaine finds evidence that leads her to believe her boyfriend is black. Susan’s parents see George on the street in the city, during the time he is supposed to be in the Hamptons. Jerry is woken up early in the morning at his parent’s house and gives his father the “$50” organizer that has many features besides a tip calculator. Later he discovers that Kramer has moved down there, to join the other retirees. Elaine laughs when Susan’s parents ask her about George’s house in the Hamptons. Of course, George just builds on the lie. Morty, who can’t run for president of the condo association, decides that Kramer should run for condo board president of Del Boca Vista phase III. Once Kramer is elected, Morty will run things from behind the scenes. Elaine schemes to try to determine her boyfriend’s race. George finds out the Rosses knew that he lied. He decides to take them to the Hamptons, to “see who’ll blink first.”
Kramer begins his campaign and the Boca Breeze has good things to say about him (see NOTE:). When Elaine’s boyfriend says they are an interracial couple, she is convinced he is black. George keeps building on his lie, as he picks up the Rosses and takes them on their ride to the Hamptons. Kramer receives some bad press from the Boca Breeze; it’s damage control time. Kramer suggests buying each member of the board one of those Wizard tip calculators. Jerry knows he can’t get the deal he told his father he’d received, but Kramer says not to worry, Bob Saccamando’s father lives down here and can help them out. Elaine and her boyfriend discover that each is not the race they thought the other was. Saccamando’s father comes through with knock-off tip calculators called Willard, they are defective and the election is lost. George and the Rosses reach the Hamptons, where the truth wins out.
