Warning: Spoilers
The Phone Message is an excellent episode, that's really funny, Jason Alexander is especially hilarious in this one!. This time around George starts to get paranoid about the stupid calls he made on his girlfriend Carol's machine, so he gets Jerry to switch the tapes in the machine. I thought the message George left about the whole Coffee thing was very funny, and while Kramer and Elaine don't have much to do in this one, there presence as always was still appreciated, plus it's very well made as well. It's also very well directed by Tom Cherones, and very well written by Larry David and Jerry, plus I loved the argument over the cotton docker pants!. Gretchen German(Donna Jerry's girl) and Tory Polone(Carol George's girl) do very well as the girlfriends and were both beautiful, and Jerry does have quite a bit of involvement in this, but this is George's show, plus the opening scene in the diner was funny as well. The ending is absolutely hilarious, and I loved George's reaction when he realizes what he says to Carol in the car, plus the whole episode was very clever itself. The Phone Message is an excellent episode, that's really funny, Jason Alexander is especially hilarious in this one, and I say it's a must see for every Seinfeld fan!. ****1/2 out of 5

P.S Jerry's opening stand up about Soda was funny

Favorite quotes.

Carol: So thanks for dinner it was great. George: We should do this again. Carol: Would you like to come up for some coffee?. George: Oh no thanks, I can't drink coffee late at night it keeps me up. Carol: Oh, so..OK goodnight. George: Yeah take it easy.

(*phone message segment #1*). George: If I call her now, she's gonna think i'm too needy, women don't wanna see need, they want a take charge guy, a kernel, Kaiser. Elaine: All She'll think is that you like her. George: That's exactly what i'm trying to avoid. Elaine: She wants you to like her. George: Yes she wants me to like her, if she likes me, but she Doesen't like me. Elaine: I don't know what your parents did to you.

*The famous phone message*. George: Hi It's George, George Costanza, remember me the guy who didn't come up for Coffee *laughing*, you see I didn't realize, that Coffee really didn't mean, well whatever, anyway it was fun, it was fun, so, Umm you call me back, if you want to, that's up to you, either way the balls in your court, so take it easy.

George: Hey come and listen to the idiot, the idiot's on!.
