Fans discuss a reference to The Last of the Mohicans when Jerry yells into the phone to Kramer, noting the show frequently includes literary and cultural allusions.
Hi All!
Did anyone else catch the movie reference when Jerry yelled into the phone to Kramer, "Stay alive! No matter what occurs, I will find you!" I believe that was a reference to The Last of the Mohicans when Daniel Day-Lewis's character was yelling to Madeleine Stowe's charcter. I think the lines were SLIGHTLY different, but it seemed like a direct reference to me.
-S.T.
I know that several seasons ago, Jerry would refer to George as "Biff", the loser son of Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman." There was also an episode from last year I believe where George's Phil Rizutto (spelling?) doll gets buried in the street...George and Jerry stand over the "grave" as Jerry mutters, "The poor son of a bitch," the exact same phrase a mourner mutters over Gatsby's grave in Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Can anyone think of any other literary references in the show?
