Trivia
This episode was inspired by a real-life incident involving Larry David and the show's editor, Janet Ashikaga. David had once offered to get her something from a restaurant he was going to and she requested a big salad. David bought her the big salad, but a writer's assistant had handed it to her, whom she in turn thanked, not David. Failing to acknowledge David's generosity, the assistant happily accepted the thank you.

Goofs
Who phoned Jerry at his apartment, to alert him of the Bronco chase on TV at the end? There are no viable candidates. George and Elaine are both with him in the apartment. It can't be Kramer or even a friend of any of them since no one knows who is driving the Bronco until after Jerry turns on the TV and the announcer eventually says..."we have just learned the identity of the driver, Kramer"...after which the 3 of them then use hand gestures to acknowledge.

Quotes
Jerry Seinfeld: Newman. She went out with Newman.
Elaine Benes: It must be a mistake.
Jerry Seinfeld: No, it isn't. And the most distressing part about it is not that she went out with him, but that *he* stopped seeing *her*. Do you understand? He, Newman - Newman stopped seeing her. Newman never stopped seeing anybody. Newman will see whoever is willing to see him. The question then is not so much *why* did she see him - as disturbing as that is - but why did he, Newman, stop seeing her?
Elaine Benes: Perhaps there's more to Newman than meets the eye.
Jerry Seinfeld: No, there's less.
Elaine Benes: It's possible.
Jerry Seinfeld: No. it isn't. I've looked into his eyes. He's pure evil.
Elaine Benes: Maybe he's an enigma, a mystery wrapped in a riddle.
Jerry Seinfeld: Yeah, he's a mystery wrapped in a Twinkie.
