- GoofsWhile George (Jason Alexander) is talking to David Letterman in the hall, Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) pitches the butler idea to the NBC executives. He changes the idea he & George came up with & pitches it that he gets the butler, not George. George enters the office while everyone is laughing and says to Jerry, "I thought I was getting the butler." George couldn't have known Jerry made the change as he wasn't in the room at the time.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Jerry Seinfeld: There's no easy way to break off any relationship. I think when you first start dating, they ought to give you three "Get out of relationship free" cards. You know what I mean? So you can just go up to the person and go, "Uh, here you go. I'm sorry. I'll grab the tennis racket. Don't even bother to get up. Have a good one. Sorry." Which is fine, unless, of course, the person you're in the relationship with happens to have an "Eight more months of guilt, torture, and pain" card. "Uh, hold it. I've got a little something for you."

George and Jerry have to come up with an idea for their pilot project, and struggle to do so because of Kramer's constant interruptions. Eventually, they figure out something just hours before the meeting, which partly goes down the drain when George has the brilliant idea of kissing Susan in front of everyone, thus exposing their inappropriate relationship. Back at home, Jerry has more surprises in store as he discovers that the girl he's dating, Marla Penny (Jane Leeves), is still a virgin, which makes for a few awkward moments when Elaine comes up to the apartment to discuss her latest sexual mishaps...
Mixing realistic comedy and pure zaniness, The Virgin is great in providing insights into the frustrating realm of TV writing (although George's lack of experience in the field kind of adds extra layers of difficulty), paired with the cruel reality of corporate politics when Susan gets in trouble. The best moments, however, remain those featuring Marla, mixing a sweetness of sorts with a cruder brand of humor and showing Leeves' pre-Frasier comedic abilities (the episode aired several months before the intellectual sitcom made its debut). Smart and fun, in equal measure.
