Stan

Lore & Background

Stan is introduced as Kramer's caddy, a man who takes charge of Kramer's golf game and life. He gains access to a golf course during its winter closure, training Kramer to become a professional contender. When Kramer crashes his car after being distracted by Sue Ellen Mischke's exposed bra, Stan approves of Kramer's decision to sue her, advising him to go back to lawyer Jackie Chiles. In court, Stan's strategy overrules Jackie's: he makes Sue Ellen wear the bra in court, but fails to foresee that it cannot fit over her clothes "like a glove," sabotaging Kramer's victory.

In Their Own Story

Kramer's caddy, Stan, lets him into a golf course during winter closure, and trains him up as a contender to go pro. Later, after Kramer injures his shoulder in a car crash caused by Sue Ellen Mischke's exposed bra, Elaine vindictively urges Kramer to take Sue Ellen to court. With Stan's approval, Kramer goes back to Jackie Chiles, who pounces on the case. In court, Kramer, trusting Stan's strategy over Jackie's, makes Sue Ellen wear the bra in court. He fails to foresee that it cannot fit over her clothes "like a glove," sabotaging his victory.
