Question
Hi,

I hope you can answer my question. This is my second attempt. The first one I submitted/contacted took forever and then simply said they can't answer my question????

I remember an episode in the early run where George refers to a sibling (a sister I think). Did they ever mention a sister or brother again or was that dropped as the series went on? Thanks!

Answer
Hi JG,

So George actually referred to his brother in two episodes that I know of, "The Suicide," Season 3. George: "My brother once impregnated a woman named Pauline. AND in "The Parking Space," Season 3. George: "Nobody in my family can pay for parking, it's a sickness. My father never paid for parking; my mother, my brother."

These are the only instances I can recall. So I assume it's like the one mention of Jerry's sister early in the series ("The Chinese Restaurant") that was kind of forgotten about once the series continued on. I hope this was helpful and please feel free to write again!

Best wishes,
yada yada yada,

Hi JG,

To follow up on your question. Jerry mentioned a sister in "The Chinese Restaurant" 2nd Season.

Jerry: "Oh my god, Lorraine... that's Lorraine from my uncle's office. I'm in
big, big trouble!"

Elaine: "The one you broke the plans with tonight?"

Jerry: "Yeah, she works in his office. Now she's gonna see him tomorrow and tell him she saw me here tonight. He's gonna tell his wife, his wife's gonna call my mother. Oh, this is bad, you don't know, the chain reaction of calls this is gonna set off. New York, Long Island, Florida, it's like the Bermuda Triangle. Unfortunately, nobody ever disappears. My uncle to my aunt, my aunt to my mother, my mother to my uncle . . .  [commercial break]

Jerry: . . . "My uncle to my cousin, my cousin to my sister, my sister to me."

Elaine: "You should've just had dinner with your uncle tonight and gotten in over with. It's just a movie."

Jerry: "Just a movie?! You don't understand. This isn't 'Plans 1 through 8 from Outer Space', this is 'Plan 9', this is the one that worked. The worst movie ever made!"


I should have just added this dialogue in my last response but I was at work and a little pressed for time, but I had a feeling you were going to ask. :) Most people don't remember this bit of dialogue actually, because the sister mention comes very shortly after the return from commercials, so unless you were a very avid watcher, you might not have caught it until the show came out on DVD. I hope answered your question, but if not please let me know and I'll do my best!

Best wishes,
yada yada yada,
