Young marrieds go for the white boy scout trunks--they set off any tan you might have acquired and perpetuate the knight in shining armour/LaCoste bathing suit myth. Anyone over the age of thirty should watch it, because cute suits on not-so-cute bodies is not cute...

Well, the Russian white knight, needless to say, comes equipped with someone for Elaine's friend, the Lurch-like Igor. After a slight misunderstanding regarding the difference between blowing them off and excusing themselves to go to the bathroom, the women nab both of the sailors for the night. And what a night it is--Theresa and Igor are energetically bouncing up and down on the bed while next door Elaine and Peter are holding hands, looking out at the stars, and thinking that they might be fallling in love with each other...
