Plot
, Elaine, George, and Kramergo tothe hospital to meet friends who have just had a baby. At the hospital, George gets a parking spotright in front of the hospital. A mental patient jumps from the roof and lands on it. George attempts to get the hospital to pay for the car's damages, but the director refuses, insinuating that George is running a scam. Kramer stumbles into the wrong room at the hospital and becomes convinced that he has seen a "pigman". He espouses a conspiracy theory concerning the government and genetic mutation leading to pigmen armies. Jerry and Elaine agree to become godparents to the newborn baby. Jerry uses the role as a prompt to perform impersonations of Marlon Brando's character from The Godfather, but his friends are severely unimpressed. They are obligated to arrange the bris, which involves booking a mohel and holding the baby during the circumcision. Kramer, disturbed by the concept of the bris, upsets the mother with grotesque descriptions of circumcision and seizes the baby in an unsuccessful rescue attempt. The mohel is extremely irritable and high-strung and implies that he was charged with malpractice due to a botched circumcision on at least one previous occasion. Made increasingly nervous by this, Jerry flinches as the circumcision gets underway, and the mohel cuts Jerry's finger. The four go to the hospital, where the baby's parents have to break up a fight between Jerry and the mohel. Jerry's finger is stitched up. Kramer finds the "pigman" and "liberates" him from the hospital. The "pigman" steals George's car, which was again conveniently parked. The parents strip Jerry and Elaine of their role as godparents, deciding they prefer Kramer due to the concern he expressed for the baby. Pleased, Kramer performs an off-the-cuff impersonation of The Godfather which far eclipses Jerry's.
