"The Cigar Store Indian" is the seventy-fourth episode of the NBC sitcom "Seinfeld". This was the 10th episode for the 5th season. It aired on December 9, 1993.

Plot

While Jerry helps George with a coffee table stain, Elaine must take the subway home; she takes Frank Costanza's "TV Guide" as reading material. George meets a woman at a furniture refinishing store and takes her to his parents' home, pretending that it is his. Jerry is interested in a Native American woman named Winona, but she is offended when he presents Elaine with a cigar store Indian as a peace offering. Having had sex with his furniture store quarry, George leaves a condom wrapper in his parents' bed; his parents discover not only the wrapper but also the absence of Frank's "TV Guide" (he is a collector) and punish him by grounding him. Kramer pitches his idea for a coffee table book about coffee tables to Elaine's boss.

Quotes

* Jerry: "You know, I don't get it. Not allowed to ask a Chinese person where the Chinese restaurant is! I mean, aren't we all getting a little too sensitive? I mean, someone asks me which way's Israel, I don't fly off the handle."

* Kramer: "You know what would make a great coffee table book? A coffee table book about coffee tables! Get it?"

Mr. Costanza: What is this? A prophylactic wrapper?

Mr. Costanza:We're gone one week and you turn our house into Bourbon street.

Mr. Costanza: You want to live here, you respect the rules of this house. You're GROUNDED!!

Jerry: "I though we'd eat at the Gentle Harvest"

Winona: "OO I love that place but it should be so crowded. Can we get a table?"

Jerry: "Oh, don't worry i made reser.."

Winona: "You made what?"

Jerry: "I uh I arranged for the appropriate accomadations"

Jerry: " And then.. Knick tickets, floor seats."

Winona: " How did you get these?"

Jerry: " Got 'em on the street from a scal.."

Winona: "From who?"

Jerry: "One of those guys"

Winona: "What guys?"

Jerry: "You know the guys that sell the tickets to the sold out events"

Trivia

* In the start of the scene where George and Jerry go to the cigar store to pick up the table, it shows the outside of the building. If you look down, there is a dog by a fire hydrant, and he begins to lift his leg up to urinate.

* Al Roker is mentioned multiple times for being on the cover of the TV Guide and makes an appearance in the final scene on the subway.

* This episode is the first mention of Kramer's Coffee Table Book About Coffee Tables, which becomes a running gag for the season. Kramer first thought of the idea while in the cigar store, but he later claims he first had the idea when he was skiing.
