- George invites himself to Elaine's office party, primarily to get free food He meets Anna, who seems only interested in him is she thinks he's a bad boy. The big revelation however is Elaine's somewhat awkward dancing style. She has no idea how foolish she looks and it makes her the butt of office jokes. Jerry meanwhile meets Kramer's friend Brody who bootlegs movies he films off the screens in cinemas. When he gets Jerry to handle the camera he proclaims the result a masterpiece.—garykmcd
- Elaine reluctantly allows George to attend a company party. George attempts to hit on Anna (Rebecca McFarland), one of Elaine's employees, but she doesn't seem interested. George is then horrified when he sees Elaine dancing at the party (to the song "Shining Star"), a dance which causes her staff to lose all respect for her. Elaine mistakenly attributes this lack of respect to George's presence at the party after talking to Jerry. She advises Anna to keep away from George, which causes Anna to think of George as a "bad boy", thus making George desirable to her. This feeling is new for George, as he has been the bad employee, the bad son, the bad friend, the bad sport, the bad citizen, the bad fiance, the bad credit risk, the bad dinner guest, the bad date, but never the bad boy. George goes on to describe the dance as "a full body dry heave set to music". Turns out Jerry was aware of this flaw in Elaine, as he had seen her dancing a few years ago. She was all kicks and thumbs.
Jerry has gotten tickets to a sneak peek showing of Death Blow for himself and Kramer. However, Kramer quickly invites a friend, Brody (Neil Giuntoli), forcing Jerry to get another ticket. In the theater, Brody starts videotaping the film to make a bootleg version to sell on the streets. While taping, Brody becomes sick and has Kramer take him home, leaving Jerry to finish making the tape.
Jerry says he won't do it (and says it serves Brody right for eating too much candy instead of sharing, which made him sick), but agrees when Brody threatens him with a gun. Jerry worries about the possible consequences of the illegal act, and whether or not Brody will like his taping. However, when he sees the finished product, Brody says it's the most beautiful taping he's ever seen, and asks Jerry to do another film called Cry, Cry Again. Jerry doesn't and Kramer films instead, but he does a terrible job, so Jerry returns to bootlegging; he then becomes a bootlegging legend on the streets and demands better equipment for his next film. He demands 3 cameras, 2 on the floor and 1 in the balcony and headsets so he can coordinate the shooting. When Brody won't agree with Jerry's demands, Jerry becomes upset and leaves.
Kramer, seeing Elaine dancing, quickly informs her that "she stinks." Jerry reluctantly confirms this, but Elaine is still not convinced. She videotapes herself over the ending of the bootleg copy of Cry, Cry Again. When Brody comes to pick up the Cry, Cry Again bootleg that Jerry was going to shoot, Jerry and Kramer are forced to give him the bad copy Kramer recorded, which Elaine has recorded her dancing over.
Elaine (realizing that her dancing was appalling) apologizes to Anna and George, explaining that George really is a good person, which makes him undesirable to Anna. But after hearing Jerry has quit bootlegging, George then decides to take up the job instead in an effort to restore his "bad boy" image but gets arrested in the process and reveals his weakness when he cries when the arresting policeman had yelled at him. Frank (Jerry Stiller) comes to bail him out but instead comes into a physical confrontation with Elaine over George's incident.
Jerry and Elaine walk down the street where it's revealed that Elaine beat Frank. As Jerry and Elaine enter Elaine's apartment building, everyone on the sidewalk dances behind Elaine's back, mocking her dance that they all saw at the end of the Cry, Cry Again bootleg.
