Meanwhile, Elaine meets a man at the movie theater and agrees to go on a date with him. However, she soon realizes that she cannot stand him, but is too nice to break it off.
Kramer, on the other hand, is busy living out his own movie script. He has decided to move to LA to become an actor, and enlists Jerry's help in selling his screenplay to a producer. However, the producer is only interested in the script if Kramer can secure a major movie star for the leading role.
