The Junior Mint (Seinfeld episode)
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Junior Mint (Seinfeld episode)
The Junior Mint is an episode of the American sitcom Seinfeld.
Plot
Unable to remember the name of the woman he is dating, Jerry tries to pick up clues to solve the mystery. Given the clue that her name rhymes with a part of the female anatomy, Jerry and George try to come up with possible candidates, such as Hest (for breast), Bovary (for ovary), and Mulva (for vulva.) When she presses him to say her name, Jerry guesses Mulva, causing her to storm out. In a flash of insight, Jerry runs to the window and (correctly) yells out "Dolores!"
Meanwhile, Elaine goes to visit one of her ex-boyfriends (an artist whom she broke up with because he was fat) in the hospital and becomes interested in going out with him again since he has slimmed down. Kramer and Jerry observe the artist's splenectomy and accidentally drop a Junior Mint from the viewing gallery into the patient's body. When George hears that Roy is in a bad condition (after he develops an infection), he decides to buy some of Roy's art, thinking it will appreciate in value when Roy dies. Roy's condition suddenly turns around and he recovers. Although Roy attributes the change to George buying his art, the doctor attributes the limited effect of the infection to "something from above." As Kramer offers the doctor a junior mint, Elaine decides to break her plans with Roy, who had started eating again after the surgery.
Trivia
Dolores was played by Susan Walters. She appeared again (though with blonde hair) in the season 8 episode "The Foundation."
Dr. Siegel, played by Victor Raider-Wexler, appears in several more "Seinfeld" episodes. He is Susan's doctor in the season 7 finale "The Invitations", George's doctor in the season 8 finale "The Summer of George", and is a witness for the prosecution in the series finale.He also played Ross Geller's doctor on a Friends episode called "The One with the Baby on the Bus".
This marks the second time that George regrets his decision to purchase a piece of art. The first came in "The Letter", when he bought a piece of art from Jerry's girlfriend for $500.
The slow motion shot of the "Junior Mint" falling out of the sky actually used a York Peppermint Patty. A Junior Mint was used but deemed too small to use in production so a Peppermint Patty was used.
