Jerry and George seen at the bar following one of Jerry’s sets, when Jerry is approached by NBC about discussing a pilot.

Jerry’s Apartment
After being approached by NBC, Jerry, George and Kramer come up with ideas for a series. Kramer vomits on Susan after drinking expired milk, and later shows concussion-like symptoms after being kicked by Crazy Joe Davola.

Monk’s Café
Jerry and George have their landmark discussion about developing “a show about nothing,” before Jerry goes off on George for sinking the idea immediately by storming out of NBC over his “artistic integrity.” They are later trapped inside Monk’s, with Crazy Joe Davola laying in wait outside for them, shortly after kicking Kramer in the head.

This testimony is slightly misleading, as Newman said earlier that he was volunteering in White Plains (which would not require taking the Palisades) before being caught speeding, but perhaps his details were mixed unable to keep track of his lie.
