The Gum Trivia Quiz

Answer: Spartacus

In the beginning of this episode, Jerry and George are discussing the mood of the cashier at the coffee shop when Kramer sits down beside them. Kramer is excited about the renovations completed on the run-down Alex Theater where there will be showings of the Kirk Douglas film "Spartacus". George says that he probably won't pay seven dollars to pay for a movie he could watch on TV.

Answer: China

Kramer has taken Lloyd Braun under his wing in this episode because his connections in the mayor's office are making the Alex Theater a local landmark. Since Lloyd's horrible Dinkins problem in "The Non-Fat Yogurt", he was institutionalized after a breakdown. When Lloyd offers Jerry, Kramer and George some gum, Jerry takes some to make him feel good.

Answer: In the front row

When they arrive, Kramer informs them that Lloyd is in the theater and that he's arranged seats as a group so that they can all sit together. However, because Elaine dated Lloyd in "The Non-Fat Yogurt", she felt uncomfortable and made up the excuse that Jerry forgot his glasses, so they had to sit alone in the front row. Kramer confirms the fact for Lloyd so that he doesn't feel crazy.

Answer: Deena

When George goes to his parents' house (while they're on vacation), he runs into his old neighbour Deena and her father, affectionately known as 'Pop'. While George talks to Deena, he lets Pop check out his 'John Voight Car' since he used to own an auto shop. Deena later reveals that after a nervous breakdown, she couldn't let her father work anymore and she's been looking after him ever since. George quickly makes an excuse and leaves to prevent Pop from damaging his car.

Answer: False

While watching the movie, Elaine and Jerry are forced to lean back to an uncomfortable position to see the screen, and while eating popcorn, Elaine accidentally loses the top button from her shirt on the floor causing her cleavage to be exposed. Lloyd takes this as a sign. Elaine doesn't notice until much later when she's walking home.

Answer: In the lost and found

In order to make Lloyd Braun seem less crazy, Kramer tries to continue with the idea that Jerry needs glasses, so he takes a pair from the Alex Theater's lost and found. These make Jerry look like an idiot and he has trouble seeing with them. Meanwhile, George returns to the coffee shop because he thinks that the cashier gave him the wrong change.

In order to get her to open the register he buys gum just as Lloyd Braun walks in. Lloyd is confused because George refused his gum earlier and George doesn't find the bill.

Answer: Memory-loss

Deena sits down with George in the park and confronts him because she feels that he is displaying the warning signs that lead to a mental breakdown. She also notes that he takes pleasure in the misery of others. During the conversation, George watches as the cashier that he claims took his money rides off on a horse. He blames Lloyd Braun as well.

Answer: Ivory

When Jerry reveals that Elaine's open blouse was seen by Lloyd Braun, she decides to check the theater since it was an antique ivory button that was given to her. Meanwhile, at the theater, Kramer talks to a man who lost his glasses during a screening.

While he lets that man check the lost and found, he runs off to get the glasses back from Jerry. The man at the theater ends up taking the antique button from the lost and found, where it was placed.

Answer: It sets on fire

When George is about to pull his car out of a space, he is heckled by the cashier, who is waiting for him to leave the space. When she goes to talk to her about it, his car sets on fire and he is unable to put it out. This marks the end of the John Voight car.
At the theater, Kramer takes the glasses back and gives Jerry a thicker pair that he can't see out of. When Lloyd Braun arrives, he is forced to wear them.

Answer: Hot dog

When Lloyd Braun asks for a very old hot dog at the theater, the man behind the counter basically refuses to give it to him, so Kramer takes it, eats it, and vomits outside. This causes a shop owner to use a hose and spray the sidewalk down. Elaine talks to the man and he accidentally shoots her new white shirt with water.

She heads to the theater where Lloyd Braun comments on it and takes Jerry to pick up some gum. Jerry can't see how much he is paying Lloyd and he ends up spending $100 on gum. George tells Deena the situation and she has a hard time believing it since it's so complicated.

She decides to trust him. Kramer returns the glasses to their rightful owner, who preserves movie costumes. The current one is King Henry VIII, who is the topic of the theater's latest screening, so Kramer asks to borrow it. In the end, George has to wear the costume, since he's the only one who can fit into it.

He ends up realizing that he had the $20 all along and Deena finds him walking around in the costume.

He runs after her claiming it's from 'The Institute'. At the theater, the man who took Elaine's button returns for the premiere and Elaine gets it back.
