The Understudy Trivia Quiz

Answer: Beaches

Jerry was sitting in his chair while Gennice was weeping on the couch over the sad movie. Jerry thought it over in his head and decided that it really shouldn't matter if he walked over and consoled her or not. The next morning, Gennice is extremely upset that Jerry didn't come and comfort her. Kramer says that he probably would've done the same thing.

Answer: Rochelle Rochelle: The Musical

Gennice is Bette Midler's understudy for the play. Jerry and George tell this to Kramer before heading off to a baseball game. Jerry's improv team is facing off against the team from "Rochelle Rochelle". "Rochelle Rochelle" isn't actually a musical, but it's been seen before. The gang went to see it in the fourth season episode "The Movie".

Answer: She drops her frankfurter

When Gennice drops the frankfurter, she begins to cry and Jerry is forced to console her. After this event, Bette Midler arrives at the baseball diamond and Kramer expresses how much he admires her. He decides to get her an Italian ice.

Answer: Pineapple

Kramer offers to get Bette an Italian ice from a nearby cart and she asks for pineapple. When he orders some, the vendor says that he doesn't carry that flavour. He decides to rush around looking for some pineapple Italian ice. Meanwhile, Elaine is concerned with what her Korean manicurists are saying, so she goes to Frank Costanza.

Answer: Kim

Frank loved Kim dearly, but the clash of cultures between them was too much. Her family wouldn't accept him since he wouldn't take off his shoes (because of a foot odor problem). When Elaine takes him to the Korean manicurists, he surprisingly reunites with Kim because he yells at her co-workers for making rude comments about him. Elaine is kicked out of the salon for bringing in a 'spy'.

Answer: George

When George hit a home run, he rounded the bases and returned home. When he got back, he ran into Bette Midler and she fell hard. At that point, Kramer had just returned with the (now frozen) Italian ice. Kramer rushed to Bette's side and Jerry and George were chased across Central Park. Bette was forced to leave the show for a week because of her injury. Gennice feels great about this because she gets to play Bette's role.

Answer: On the street

Elaine walks home crying in the rain after she's kicked out of the salon and she happens to run into J. Peterman who comments on her jacket. They talk at a restaurant and Elaine begins talking like Mr. Peterman. He hires her, and he becomes her boss for the final seasons of the show.

Answer: Someone dropped an egg on him

Gennice, Jerry, and George soon become hated by everyone in New York because everyone thinks they all planned to get Bette off the stage in order for Gennice to perform. The three of them are even kicked out of their cab because of it despite the fact that Gennice and Jerry really didn't do anything.

Answer: He stops short

Kim makes comments about Frank's time at her house and the fact that he wouldn't take his shoes off before he pulls his 'stopping short' move. After this, she decides that she never wants to see him again. Meanwhile, Kramer introduces Macaroni Midler to Better. Macaroni Midler is much like Kramer's previous creation, Fusilli Jerry, which ended up destroyed when Frank Costanza fell onto it.

Answer: Her grandmother

Jerry, George, and Gennice arrive at the hospital to apologize to Bette and Kramer shoos them away before taking pulling Bette's bed out of the room to protect her. Meanwhile, Elaine tells Jerry that she got a job working for the J. Peterman catalog.

She decides to invite the Korean manicurists to the opening of "Rochelle Rochelle" to see Bette Midler perform as an apology and Jerry goes to see Gennice. Gennice gets a telegram saying that her grandmother has just died and she doesn't think anything of it. Jerry finds this odd since she cries over everything else, so they don't see each other again.

The Korean manicurists find out that Bette isn't performing, so they continue to ban Elaine, and Gennice messes up on stage because her shoelace is untied, so she cries.
