- Overview
- Plot
“The Cigar Store Indian” is the tenth episode of the fifth season of Seinfeld. It was written by Max Pross & Tom Gammill; it was directed by Tom Cherones.
While Jerry helps George with a coffee table stain, Elaine must take the subway home; she takes Frank Costanza's TV Guide as reading material. George meets a woman at a furniture refinishing store and takes her to his parents' home, pretending that it is his. Jerry is interested in a Native American woman named Winona (Kimberly Norris-Guerrero), but she is offended when Jerry, unaware of her ethnicity, presents Elaine with a cigar store Indian as a peace offering. Jerry further offends her by using inappropriate language which could pass for racial epithets in a note and rocking it back and forth, mimicking Native American chants in front of her. Jerry tries to make amends with Winona by going out on a date with her where he also obtains her copy of the TV Guide with Al Roker on the cover to give to Frank.
Jerry offers to take her out for supper and she gives him a second chance, but she is offended by Jerry's behavior when he asks a postal worker whether there are any Chinese restaurants nearby, as the postman turns out to be of Asian descent and concludes that Jerry asked him the question because of his ethnicity rather than his profession. She becomes even more infuriated with Jerry after Kramer, in a taxi with the cigar store Indian, yells at Jerry by mimicking Native American sounds. Elaine and Kramer are on the subway when Kramer stops to get a gyro, but when his arm gets stuck in the door, a patron steals it. While on the subway, Elaine forgets the TV Guide and it is obtained by a creepy patron (Sam Lloyd) who cuts it up to make a flower bouquet for her. George, having had sex with his furniture store quarry, leaves a condom wrapper in his parents' bed; his parents discover not only the wrapper but also the absence of Frank's TV Guide (he is a collector) and punish him by grounding him.
