Yes, the scene where Jerry wipes his mouth while Elaine cries over the bubble boy reveals perfect comic timing as well as the complete self absorption of the characters. If you want to see a scene where Elaine and Jerry work with flawless timing check out the one where Elaine tells him that the date he set her up with exposed himself ("he took..IT...OUT", as she's cleaning her glasses) It's priceless.

Final tidbit of the night: In the early episode "The Revenge" Kramer tells Jerry that Newman is trying to commit suicide, and you can clearly hear Wayne Knight's voice calling from outside the window. Problem is that episode was shot in 1991, and Wayne Knight didn't join the cast until 1992. When it first aired, Larry David did the voice of Newman. But after the show went into syndication, Knight overdubbed the line. I've even heard that Jerry Stiller was not George's original father, that a different actor played him in one episode and then Stiller reshot all his scenes for syndication, but I never saw it and can't confirm it.
