"Music2611/Projects and Sandbox"

"The Phone Message" is the ninth episode of Seinfeld, and the fourth for the show's second season. It originally aired on February 13, 1991.

Plot

George is concerned when his girlfriend doesn't return his calls. He begins leaving increasingly angry — becoming almost hostile — messages on her answering machine. Later, he discovers that she was out of town at the time and unable to check her messages. Before she can hear the messages (which would surely lead to a breakup), George and Jerry create a plan to get into her apartment and switch the tape. The plan (barely) succeeds, just in time for George to learn that she already heard the messages and found them funny, adding that she "loves jokes like that."

Meanwhile, Jerry dates a woman who likes a cotton Dockers commercial he absolutely hates.

Production

"The Bet"

Main article: The Bet (Seinfeld)

Before "The Phone Message" was written, the episode "The Bet" was intended to be filmed. In "The Bet", which was written by Larry Charles, Elaine considers buying a handgun from a man she knows through Kramer, after making a bet with Jerry, who did not think she would have the guts to buy one. A second storyline in the episode involved Kramer returning from a vacation in Puerto Rico and telling Jerry and George he slept with a stewardess during the flight home. Elaine eventually buys a toy gun, as Jerry never specified what kind of gun she had to buy. Later in the episode George, Jerry and Elaine go to the airport to varify Kramer's story. When they meet the stewardess Kramer described Elaine searches in her bag for a photo of Kramer. When she absent-mindedly pulls out the toy gun, Lucy screams, and airport security guards soon swarm onto Jerry, Elaine and George. In the finale scene of the episode it is revealed that Kramer's story was true, when he is seen sleeping with her.[1]

Charles wrote the episode in an attempt to make a funny "dark-themed" episode, using elements that were unusual in sitcoms.[2] Charles felt that "through the Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David filter" they had accomplished making a provocative storyline funny.[2] Bobbi Jo Lathan was cast for the part of Lucy Merrit, Kramer's stewardess girlfriend.[1][3] Mo Korn, the gun salesman, who was described in the script as "overweight, greasy, slow and low-key", would have been portrayed by Ernie Sabella.[1] When the episode did not air, both Lathan and Sabella were given roles in other Seinfeld episodes; Lathan appeared as Patti the hooker in season three's "The Stranded",[1][3] while Sabella was cast as the "greasy naked guy" in "The Subway", also from the show's third season.[1][4]

The table reading of the episode was held on Wednesday, December 12, 1990.[1] Louis-Dreyfus stated "I read the script and I remember thinking 'we're not going to do this'".[5] According to Alexander, when she read a scene in which she holds the gun to her head stating "where do you want it Jerry? The Kennedy? [holds the gun to her stomach] The McKinley?" (referencing the assassination of the two American Presidents), Louis-Dreyfus turned to Alexander stating "I'm not doing this".[6] Both Alexander and Tom Cherones, who would direct the episode, felt the gun-content in the story was too provocative.[6][7] Richards had concerns about his character being very open about arming Elaine, although, in a later interview he stated "although, why not? I think Kramer could justify the use of a weapon".[8]

Nevertheless, the cast started rehearsing, but after 20 minutes stopped and turned to Cherones, who agreed to talk to Charles.[7] When Cherones was on his way to Charles' office he bumped into NBC executive Glenn Padnick and informed him about the cast's reaction to the episode, Cherones said that Padnick reacted relieved and they both discussed the problem with Charles, eventually deciding not to use the script.[7] Commenting on the episode Charles stated "You know, it would have been an interesting show, but [...] we couldn't solve the funny problem of it. It never seemed to quite be as funny as it should be and, because of that, the balance was off and the darkness kind of enveloped it, and it could never really emerge from that darkness and become what it should have been. So, it was disappointing but also understandable."[2] Having little time to write the next episode, Seinfeld co-creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld wrote "The Phone Message", in two days.[1]
