Plot summary
George passes up an invitation upstairs for coffee from his date, Carol, then kicks himself for taking the invitation literally. Convinced that he ruined his chances with her, he improvises a rambling message on her answering machine. Jerry hits it off with his own date, but turns against her because she likes a TV commercial for Dockers pants. After leaving even more disastrous messages, George is inspired by Elaine to take them back by bringing Jerry to Carol's apartment to swap her answering machine tape. Kramer offers an unsolicited joke for Jerry's act.
