==Plot==
[[Jerry Seinfeld (character)|Jerry]]'s parents sell the [[Cadillac]] to Jack Klompus for $6,000 in order to give Jerry some money to help him out. They, along with [[Cosmo Kramer|Kramer]], suggest that Jerry might try a career move. [[Elaine Benes|Elaine]] talks about her [[J. Peterman]] stock options and buys [[George Costanza|George]]'s coffee. He thinks she is sticking it to him. Jerry and George talk about the money their parents might have. This piques George's interest. Kramer seeks advice from Elaine about his girlfriend's post-sex bed habits. Jerry flies to Florida to buy the Cadillac back. George seeks information on his family's health history. Kramer works out a deal with his girlfriend. Jerry meets with Klompus and agrees to pay $14,000 for it. George anticipating a big inheritance begins to spend money. Unfortunately for him, so do his parents. Klompus drives the car into a swamp and Jerry returns to Florida. Jerry's parents are still worried about him and wonder what to do. Morty decides to see Elaine about a job; she reluctantly agrees to give him a job, just as Peterman returns. Kramer, fearing a prowler (actually [[Morty Seinfeld]]), decides he can no longer sleep alone; unfortunately his girlfriend (played by [[Sarah Silverman]]) has decided she can. So he moves in with the Costanzas, who tell George that they are moving to Florida. Elaine returns to her regular position at Peterman, with no options. George and Elaine try to discuss their respective problems. Still in Florida, strapped for cash and credit, Jerry sleeps in the Cadillac. Kramer and Emily spend the night as an old married couple in the Costanzas' house. The Seinfelds make a change in their housing as the Costanzas try to settle into their new place.
