The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Up in Vermont, Jerry is beginning to have a rather tense conversation with Vanessa. In the close-up after the watch comment (when he is thinking of the delightful drive home ahead) Seinfeld is all smiles, but in the shot before and after he is staring with a tense expression.

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Elaine comes out of the bathroom sniffling and with a big stripe of toilet paper. She rubs her left side of the nose when she asks "Didn't work, huh?"

Kramer: It's a write off for them.
Jerry: Write it off what?
Kramer: They just write it off.
Jerry: You don't even know what a write off is, do you?
