synopsis
A pre-Cheers George Wendt shows up in this episode as Monty, a nebbishy Las Vegas busboy. Having previously been jilted by his girlfriend, Monty is unprepared for a second disillusionment when Alice (Linda Lavin) rebuffs his romantic overtures. The story climaxes with the first "within-the-episode" sighting of the sign in front of the diner--the same sign from which a despairing George threatens to jump!
