tonight's episode...

I have a question. I didn't understand the Peter Pan joke... Does Peter Pan have a lot of shoes or something? And another thing, I didn't get the last scene when Jerry and Kramer are in the bus and it looked like Kramer was bleeding. I thought maybe it was a take-off from a movie. Can someone tell me?

It was a take-off from the movie, Midnight Express and Jon Voight who starred in the movie had a cameo in the episode.

"Peter Pan Complex" someone who never wants to grow up (see David H's posts, BEEP-BEEP). ie kids wear sneakers, Jerry wants to stay child-like (what the hell is a grown man's obsession with superman?!) so he wears sneakers and not shoes.

The last scene was a take off from Midnight Cowboy.

If you're talking about the episode I think you are, the scene is a reference to the last scene of Midnight Cowboy with John Voit and Dustin Hoffman. (Excuse me if I spelled any names wrong.)

Peter Pan was a kid, kids wear lots of sneakers. Jerry wants to be a kid forever.

a Peter Pan complex refers to a man who refuses to grow up. The final scene in the bus is a parody of the excellent "Midnight Cowboy" starring Jon Voight as Joe Buck (George mentions Joe Buck) and Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo. In the movie they are going to Florida on the bus, Ratso is falling apart...and dies.

The bit where Kramer looks like he is bleeding is a take off of the old movie, "Midnight Cowboy" starring Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight. Dustin Hoffman played "Ratso" in the film and in the final scene where he and Jon are on the bus headed for Florida, he is really sick and dying ... leaning against the glass and being held my Jon V.

It refers to what is known as the "Peter Pan Syndrome" - it is often used to make reference to a male who cannot grow up. Jerry has alot of sneakers, therefore he still acts like a child.
