Question😂 Loved it

Fans love the episode's ending where a burnt Newman walks by Kramer in silent, vacant shock after the East River swimming accident, with sirens blaring and Newman's screams playing over credits.

One word for tonight's episode: Hilarious! A definite classic! I only have one question: Could someone please sum up the last scene (the one where the credits roll)? My VCR stopped recording, and I'm dying to know what happened!

Thanks a lot, James

As Kramer was packing up to get the hell away (police sirens were heard), Newman walks by ever so slowly, burnt to a crisp, eyes wide open, vacant expression. Kramer quickly offers Newman a ride, but Newman is somewhat ... left brain dead after the accident and keeps walking. Funny. The way Newman looked was priceless. As the credits end, they play a recording of Newman screaming in his mail truck. Nice touch.

Wow, weird!!! I was going to post the exact same complaint/request! :)

Actually, in my case, please email me because I don't read the group especially often.

Damn VCRs, Eb

That problem happens to a lot of people. here's what happened

[sirens in the background] Newman walks by Kramer, who is in his car, taking baby steps with no expression on his face. He is totally charcoaled from head to toe, looks and acts as if he is burnt all over. Kramer says something like, "Did you see that fireball?...so, I'll meet you at the coffee shop?...I gotta go" Kramer takes off peeling out in his car.

*S*

In the last scene, Newman gets a metal piece of junk stuck under his mail truck while travelling down the expressway. Meanwhile Kramer has spilt 40 gals. of paint thinner on the highway. The sparks ignited Newmans mailtruck. In the last scene, Kramer hears the sirens in the distance coming to the scene of the fire. Newman passes him while he's packing things into his car to make a clean escape and tries to offer Newman a ride. Newman just walks along like a charred robot not even hearing Kramer...and as the both disappear in different directions, the last thing you hear is Newman yelling or screaming "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
