"The Dinner Party" is the 77th episode of NBC sitcom ''Seinfeld''. This is the 13th episode of the fifth season, and first aired on February 3, 1994. ==Plot== Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer prepare to attend a dinner party, but Elaine feels they must bring wine and cake to the party. George, who is sporting a large Gore-Tex coat due to the cold weather outside, does not understand why, thinking that it would be better to bring Pepsi and Ring Dings. Jerry and Elaine stop at ROYAL BAKERY to purchase a chocolate babka while Kramer and George go to buy wine. Jerry and Elaine forget to take a number at the counter. As a result, David and Barbara Benedict, a couple on their way to the same dinner party, get ahead of them in line and purchase the last chocolate babka. The Counter Woman, (played by Kathryn Kates), offers no help. Jerry and Elaine eventually resort to purchasing a cinnamon babka, which Elaine considers "a lesser babka." George wants to pay for the bottle of wine with a $100 bill but the shop owner refuses to give him change. They go to a newsstand to break the bill by purchasing some chewing gum, but the attendant forces them to buy other things since the gum isn't worth enough for him to give that much change. Kramer buys a Clark bar, a newspaper and a ''Penthouse Forum'' magazine before the attendant relents. When they finally buy the wine, they find that their car is stuck in its space because someone has double parked and obstructed their way. They are forced to wait for the driver to come back before they can pick up Jerry and Elaine. Disgusted at the turn of events, George likens double parkers to dictators, saying Mussolini or Idi Amin would never look in vain for an open spot. Meanwhile, back at the bakery, adding to the misfortune of Jerry and Elaine, they find that the babka has a hair on it, and they are forced to wait in line again to purchase a new cake. While they wait, Jerry eats a black and white cookie, on which he claims to base philosophical theories on race relations. They eventually exchange their babka for one that the saleswoman coughs on. They have to wait for Kramer and George to pick them up. However, the cookie causes Jerry to throw up, ending his non-vomit streak, which he claims he had held since June 29, 1980. Meanwhile, a man with a cane crushes Elaine's toe, further adding to their misery. After they sit waiting on the floor for George and Kramer, after the Counter Woman, (Kathryn Kates), asks if they need anything and they say "no," the Counter Woman asks, "How about a nice box of scram?" Because of the cold weather, Kramer insists on going back inside the liquor store, where he is told that it is "not a hangout." George's coat accidentally knocks down some bottles of wine and he has to surrender the coat to pay for them. Outside, it turns out the double parker is Saddam Hussein (or a look-alike with a British accent), who suggests George should wear warmer clothing or else he might catch a cold. The four friends finally arrive at the party, where they give the hostess the babka and the wine at the door and leave immediately thereafter without staying for the party. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Dinner Party (Seinfeld)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
