    Top notch

    This one of the best episodes in Season 9. The way the stories tie up together with the climax of a real disturbance of pots and pans in the kitchen is amazing. That restaurant manager is a great comedic character too.

    Best so far

    This gotta be my favorite episode of that show. But I really haven't watched all that many, because I wanna buy Season 1-8 together in a bundle, but in the meanwhile I started watching season 9. And I honestly must say, I do not regret it!!

    My new life motto

    Larry getting shown the dance video by Susie and instantly shutting it down with, "It's wonderful, thank you. I've seen plenty" while doing that little hand wave was peak classic Larry dismissiveness. Reminds me of real life when someone forces you to watch a video on their phone and you realize after 3 seconds that it's unfunny, but you just have to sit there, endure it and fake laugh.

    This inspired me and gave me bravery for next time this happens to me to just hit them with: "It's wonderful, thank you. I've seen plenty" and wave it off just like Larry. Please wish me luck.

    Overall, solid episode, good watch and made me laugh out loud multiple times.

    • Quotes

      Restaurant Manager: Hi, I'm the manager. There's been a delay in your meals. I'm very sorry. There's been a disturbance in the kitchen. But, we're taking care of it. Thanks.

      Larry David: Well, what kind of disturbance?

      Restaurant Manager: A general disturbance.

      Larry David: What's a general disturbance?

      Restaurant Manager: Well, let's just say it was a minor hiccup.

      Jeff Greene: Was it a hiccup or a disturbance?

      Restaurant Manager: It's such a small disturbance, it might be either one.

      Larry David: What like... was the chef angry or did somebody drop some pots and pans? What happened?

      Restaurant Manager: Let's just say the disturbance happened. Okay, that's a fact, and we're taking care of it.

      Larry David: Are you listening to this?

      Jeff Greene: I am.

      Larry David: Wait a second. How come you won't tell me what the disturbance was?

      Restaurant Manager: Oh, well that's a very good question and I'm on top of it.

      Larry David: Thank you, I'm glad you thought it was a good question because it was a really atrocious answer.

      Restaurant Manager: Well, I beg to differ.

      Larry David: Let me ask you this question. How in God's name did you get this job?

      Restaurant Manager: I am great at dealing with these disturbances.
