At Elaine's request, George purchases a "big salad" to go for her from Monk's. George's girlfriend Julie hands Elaine the salad in Jerry's apartment, and Elaine thanks her. George is displeased that Julie took the credit for the salad, and tells Elaine that he bought it. Elaine is irritated at George for making a point of such a trivial matter, and briefly vents to Julie about this. Julie is so irate that George told Elaine she didn't buy the salad that she breaks up with him, not before stating that all she did was "hand someone a bag." George later angrily confronts Elaine and says he wouldn't have said anything had she asked for a regular salad instead of the big salad.
