Quoted By:
Jerry is dating a girl and agrees to watch her Chatot while she's on vacation.
He keeps it in his apartment and soon learns that it repeats what he says, so for the first part of the episode he makes everyone watch their language around the bird in fear of it repeating something embarrassing to his girlfriend.
>Jerry: "Just keep George out of here. I don't want this bird George'd up."
He eventually tries to take advantage of this habit. The plan is for Jerry to do something noble-sounding, and then for Chatot to later repeat what it overheard after the woman takes the bird back. He makes fake calls to charities, watches very pretentious intellectual movies, but no luck.
>(you movie buffs can make up your own punchlines here)
>Jerry: "I watched _____ three times in a row last night."
>Elaine: "And?"
>Jerry: "And nothing! Not even a _______! ..Well, it picked up _____ from some previews, but I haven't figured out if that's a good thing. I can never tell with these movies."
>Kramer: "Hey, I know. Why don't you try _____?"
>George: "Isn't that a silent film?"
>Kramer: "Well maybe she'll think you play piano. (points and clicks tongue twice) Classy!"
Near the end, Chatot says something racist (or otherwise pejorative) that it presumably picked up at the woman's house, and Jerry is convinced that his girlfriend is a closet racist. After she returns, he starts asking her roundabout questions to get her to slip up and admit it, but she gets mad and dumps him.
Episode ends with a brief scene of the woman, who fell asleep while watching tv back at her apartment. Chatot starts repeating the movie, but only a part that sounds really bigoted out of context.
