Fans discuss the meaning of Kramer crying on a bus in The Mom & Pop Store, debating whether it references Midnight Cowboy or other films, with some finding the ending confusing or ridiculous.

That was the episode where George buys John Voigt's (sp?) car. He assumed that the salesman meant Jon Voigt the ACTOR. He spells his name J-O-N. The guy who owned the car was a dentist who spelled his name J-O-H-N.

The actor is most famous for his role in Midnight Cowboy (1969). The bus ride is from a scene in the movie.

Hope this helps!

	Not so dumb really.  George thought that the JON VOIGHT
	who previosly owned the car he  bought was the actor.
	Jon Vouight starred in Midnight Cowboy and the scene
	in the bus was a scene from the movie.

Another reference,

George, "You can't HANDLE the truth!"

I don't remember the episode but doesn't Jerry quote "The Elephant Man"? He says, "I am not an animal!". Did this happen in an episode or am I dazed and confused?? Someone help me out.

In this same show, Elaine says, "I've seen the nipple on your sole." Is this a reference as well?

No, you're not being delusional. You are referring to the episode that was (I think) called "The Pick"

Nick (just plain ol' Nick, as oppossed to "Dr. Nick")

Don't forget "Proignosis Negative" kk

Also, the reference to "Death of a Salesman." Remember Jerry calls George Biff.

Of course, JFK (Keith Hernandez) and MIDNIGHT COWBOY (John Voight's car).

Was "Prognosis Negative" a real movie or a made-up one like "Chunnel" and "Rochelle, Rochelle" and "Firestorm" (a tape of "R,R" was stolen from Jerry's stinky car and George wanted to go to "F" with Jerry but Susan wanted to go to a "chick film" (what was its name?) so Jerry went with Mario Joyner from MTV & "Hangin' with the Homeboys.")

I'm sure of "Chunnel" and fairly certain of "Rochelle, Rochelle," but was I right in calling that other movie "Firestorm"? George and Susan's father started to discuss it, but George's father hadn't seen it yet and wanted to 'watch it fresh.' (THE RYE BREAD)

What about "Edward Scissorhands", and that movie about "an erotic journey from Milan to Minsk".... Can't remember the name of that movie....

The recurring "Rochelle, Rochelle".....

In , "Anthony J. Mitchell III"

I think that was in "The Pick". He was talking about picking his nose....

Dishheads, dishheads, roly poly dishheads. See Jane run. See Spot run. See Spot Dick Jane. "I don't understand lemonade myself. It's not my forte". "George Bush" Was it a REAL alien? http://www.trudang.com/autopsy.html

You are quite correct (and therefore not dazed and confused!!)

Jerry quotes the line from The Elephant Man - "I am not an animal...." to a crowd of people when he is standing next to the elevator after the Calvin Klein model leaves in the elevator. It WAS from the episode - The Pick.... Glad to help (Although I didn't really do anything!)

See MIDNIGHT COWBOY (starring Jon Voigt) and it will all make sense!
