Fans discuss the deja vu callback in the series finale where Jerry and George revisit their conversation about shirt buttons from the pilot episode.

At the end of the episode, just before that final piece of stand-up comedy, Jerry and George are in a discussion on buttons on shirts.

Clearly, they're having a sort of d�j� vu, but I wonder where to. The start of the pilot episode would have been logical, but I never got to see that one.

Anybody to help me out?

Yes, Jerry and George had the same discussion in the very first episode. Also Jeannie Steinman (Jerry's fiance) had a conversation about shirt buttons too.

I think Jeannie only talked about the sweater, unless I missed something,

Thanks, I had another d�j� vu as well. Chiles and Terry Hatcher in bed looked pretty much like Chef and 'that tight bitch' Kathy-Lee Gifford doing the same in South Park.

"How about a little more of that good lovin', Chef?" "Damn woman, I just gave you sweet lovin' five minutes ago! Are you trying to kill me?"

Who was there first? Could very well have been Stone and Parker, since this South Park episode was one of the first ever.

This was the first conversation between Jerry and George from "Good News, Bad News" the pilot episode for the series.

PILOT - aired July 5, 1989

[Scene: Pete's luncheonette. Jerry and George are sitting at a table.]

JERRY: Seems to me, that button is in the worst possible spot. [talking about George's shirt] The second button literally makes or brakes the shirt, look at it: it's too high! It's in no-man's-land, you look like you live with your mother. GEORGE: Are you through? [kind of irritated] JERRY: You do of course try on, when you buy? GEORGE: Yes, it was purple, I liked it, I don't actually recall considering the buttons. JERRY: Oh, you don't recall? GEORGE: [pretends he's talking into a microphone] Uh, no, not at this time. JERRY: Well, senator, I just like to know, what you knew and when you knew it. [a waitress approaches the table]

So we've got George's last line, what were Kramer & Elaines?

Kramer (not counting his laughter in the final credit bumper, said something like "What a relief," after he finally got the water out of his ear, clapped and fanned his hand toward his head as he is wont to do. George didn't say anything in the prison skit, and Elaine said "The prison call is like the King of calls." Jerry said something like "Goodnight everyone, you've been great!" If anyone knows the last lines for sure, post 'em!

I always thought Elaine in one of those scary women's prison movie skits would have been very hilarious!
