Director: Tom Cherones | 3.856 | | In one of their biggest stretches to date, George and Jerry unwittingly impersonate members of the master race in order to abscond with an airport limousine. Along the way, the vehicle picks up two Neo-Nazis, Eva and Tim. Thinking that George is her Fuher, Eva offers up her blondness to him. George is tempted. She may be a Nazi, but she's "kind of a cute Nazi." Kramer decides Jerry and George are CIA operatives who have infiltrated the Aryan party. | | - Seinfeld Forever |

4.000 / 3.856 (3) | Larry Charles is brilliant at implementing unique plot elements that wouldn't be normally found in sitcoms into Seinfeld. He also writes interesting changes of pace for the show. Point in case: George and Jerry talk their way into using someone else's limo - ok. It's a Neo-Nazi limo - huh?! Still, the best moments are the Seinfeld mainstays - George and Jerry arguing over who gets to be Dylan, Kramer revealing Jerry and George's allegiance to the CIA to Elaine - which is revealing. The Limo is a nice, exotic meal ... but it doesn't provide the filling that a meat and potatoes David dish would.

4.000 / 3.856 (3) | Good episode! George and Jerry may pretend to be neo-nazis, but they're squabbling over who gets to by Dylan and Colin! Good support by Elaine and Kramer, but it's all about Jerry and George. This episode takes place almost exclusively in a limo.

| | Quotes | Jerry: ... I noticed that the Nazis in those movies always had like two separate heils. They had like the regular heil that they would do and then when they were around the offices they had like this casual heil. Remember that one? You ever notice that? They come in, yeah, heil, how are ya, is the kid back with the coffee yet? Come on, are you finished with the copier? Yeah. World domination, Aryan race, whose donuts are those? Yeah, heil, nice to see ya, can I have one of those donuts?
