[first lines]
Jerry Seinfeld: How about the little scam the airlines have going now with these special clubs. Hundred and fifty dollar a year to sit in a room, eat peanuts, drink coffee and soda and read magazines. Excuse me, isn't this the flight? I already got four hours of this coming to me. What am I paying for? How about an I-got-all-my-luggage club? Can I get into that? Where is that club? I would like to join that club. Airlines love to divide us up into classes. You know, like when you're sitting in coach, they always have the stewardess close that stupid curtain, you know? They always give you that little look like, "Maybe if you had worked a little harder."

"The Diplomat's Club" is an excellent episode, one of my favorites in season 6 which, unlike most of the latter part of the season, relies on excellent writing and acting rather that gags and visual humor. Jerry and Elaine both deliver some of their best scenes; George and Kramer are terrific as well, and surprisingly much more subtle in their performance than anywhere else in the latter seasons.
The episode also features excellent work from a couple of recurring supporting actors. Ian Abercrombie makes his final appearance, and one of his best, as Mr. Pitt; Tom Wright as Mr. Morgan is a great straight-man for George. And That 70's Show's Debra Jo Rupp makes her first appearance as Jerry's overprotective agent. An excellent and underrated episode all around, maybe the last of the original classics.
