The Diplomat's Club

There were several funny things here, each separate. First of all, we have George, who is afraid he has been labelled a racist. He is seen running around bothering black men, trying to befriend them. Jerry has a show to do, but his assistant is an insufferable woman who wants to run every minute of his life. Soon she is driving him crazy with her good intentions. Elaine finds that the elderly man she is working for is putting her in his will. One of his staff thinks she is trying to kill him and she finds herself in several situations where it looks like she is doing just that. Kramer is at an airport where he meets a Texan who pushes him into betting on plane arrivals and departures. We find out that he has a gambling problem and can't help himself. Excellent.

Season 6, Episode 21, "The Diplomat's Club"

"The Diplomat's Club" is an excellent episode, one of my favorites in season 6 which, unlike most of the latter part of the season, relies on excellent writing and acting rather that gags and visual humor. Jerry and Elaine both deliver some of their best scenes; George and Kramer are terrific as well, and surprisingly much more subtle in their performance than anywhere else in the latter seasons.

The episode also features excellent work from a couple of recurring supporting actors. Ian Abercrombie makes his final appearance, and one of his best, as Mr. Pitt; Tom Wright as Mr. Morgan is a great straight-man for George. And That 70's Show's Debra Jo Rupp makes her first appearance as Jerry's overprotective agent. An excellent and underrated episode all around, maybe the last of the original classics.

I like the bit where the pilot stared at him and made him feel uneasy
