Plot

Things are going great with the model Jerry met on the plane in the previous episode, "The Airport" -- that is until she mistakes his nose-scratch for a nose-pick. George, on the other hand, finds the pick to be useful when looking for a way out of his rekindled relationship with Susan. Meanwhile, Elaine realizes too late that the picture she had taken for her Christmas cards is a little too revealing, and Kramer accuses Calvin Klein of stealing his idea for a cologne that smells like the beach. Heidi Swedberg guest stars as Susan and Wayne Knight appears as Newman. Originally airing December 16, 1992, "The Pick" was the 13th episode of the show's fourth season. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Plot

Elaine is humiliated when her Christmas card photo taken by Kramer accidentally exposes her nipple. Jerry has a date with Tia Van Camp (played by Jennifer Campbell), the Calvin Klein model he met on the plane in the previous episode. After the date, Kramer discovers that Tia is wearing the perfume he invented in "The Pez Dispenser", which she calls "The Ocean." Tia later dumps Jerry after witnessing him picking his nose. Jerry claims that he was only scratching it because there wasn't any nostril penetration. Meanwhile, George tries to reunite with Susan but realizes it's a mistake and uses "the pick" to escape. Kramer goes to Calvin Klein to complain about "The Ocean", and is instead asked to pose for a risqué underwear advertisement, where his genitals are accidentally exposed.

Trivia

  • Kramer proposes the idea for a perfume that makes its wearer smell like the beach in the Season 3 episode "The Pez Dispenser." He tells the idea to an executive at Calvin Klein, who is completely dismissive of the suggestion. Fifteen years later scientists from the University of East Anglia discovered that dimethyl sulfide makes the seaside smell like the seaside. [1]
  • The episode alludes to Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice in Jerry's monologue defending nose-pickers: "If we pick, do we not bleed?" The actual quote is, "If you prick us, do we not bleed?"
  • The episode also alludes to The Elephant Man (1980), [2] when Jerry proclaims, "I am not an animal!"
  • The episode also alludes to Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic novel The Scarlet Letter when Elaine blames her boyfriend for condemning her because of the photo on her Christmas card: "Because it is not me that is exposed but you. For I have seen the nipple on your soul!"
  • Newman appears in this episode for only 13 seconds when Jerry brings him in and asks if Elaine's nipple is visible in her Christmas card photo.
  • The original title for this episode was supposed to be "The Nipple" but Larry David thought that this would be too sexually explicit for network television.
