The Alternate Side is about George taking up parking cars on the block, after Jerry's car's stolen.

Not an episode I remember by name, I confuse it with the one where Elaine acquires three identical friends. A good episode though, riddled with endearing characterization, both in dialogue and physical expression. The line "These pretzels are making me thirsty"'s memorable, just not attached to the title. Don't like how Sid doesn't take responsibility, yet still has an attitude, people constantly walk all over Jerry because of his financial situation and goodwill. The car rental reservation discussion's excellent. Jerry's standup's decent as well.

Jerry: I don't understand, I made a reservation, do you have my reservation? Agent: Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars. Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation. Agent: I know why we have reservations. Jerry: I don't think you do. If you did, I'd have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to "hold" the reservation and that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just take them.
