Celebrating Seinfeld's 25th Anniversary
A classic Seinfeld episode in which George, who was working for the Yankees, was invited to share lunch daily with Mr. Steinbrenner because the Boss loved the calzones that his Assistant to the Traveling Secretary was brnging to the office. When George is banned from the calzone shop for apparently stealing from the tip jar (bonus clip!), he's forced to rely on Newman to help keep the calzones coming to keep his job.
Newman, the arch enemy of Jerry, offers his help to George in return for free lunch in return. My favorite line is when George balks at Newman's asking price (fast forward to the 1:07 mark) and Newman replies "You know I hear that Mr. Steinbrenner can be a bit erratic ... I'd hate to see him when he's hungry." It's a great combination of the personalities of Newman and George as well as nice lampooning of Steinbrenner's famous inclination to fire his employees.
(Please ignore the subtitles and forgive the advertisement at the start of the clip. It's the best I could find on YouTube.)
