Newman is a good friend of Kramer's, and the pair are forever participating in various get-rich-quick schemes. In "The Bookstore", Newman and Kramer decide to use a rickshaw to transport people from place to place. In "The Old Man", they try to find valuable records to sell for cash, and in "The Bottle Deposit" they attempt to cash-in by transporting New York bottles to Michigan for the higher redemption value. Even Kramer gets frustrated with Newman's obsession to win in any situation, such as in "The Label Maker", when he and Kramer play a multi-hours game of "Risk" but Newman sneaks in to rearrange the pieces during their breaks, and in "The Ticket" when Newman tries (unsuccessfully) to get Kramer to lie for him in court.
