"The Checks" is the seventh episode of Season Eight of Seinfeld. It aired on November 7, 1996. It was written by Steve O'Donnell, Tom Gammill & Max Pross and was directed by Andy Ackerman.
Elaine's new boyfriend, Brett (James Patrick Stuart), is obsessed with designer furniture and the song "Desperado" by The Eagles. Jerry spots an umbrella salesman using the sales technique he invented which was named 'The Twirl'. However, the salesman explains that it was Teddy Padilac.
Hundreds of twelve-cent royalty checks keep arriving from Jerry's brief appearance on a Japanese television show. Kramer warns George that the carpet cleaners he hired are actually a front for a religious cult. Intrigued, George tries to be converted, but they're not interested in him.
Kramer meets some Japanese businessmen and he takes them on the town and to the cleaners. He is a little confused about the exchange rate and spends all their money. Brett delivers a large chest of drawers to Kramer and thinks that Jerry might be jealous. Kramer thinks the TV pilot that Jerry and George did would be perfect for Japanese television. They pitch it to a couple of Japanese TV executives.
Elaine tries to find a song that she and Brett can share, including "Witchy Woman", also by The Eagles, although this is rejected. Having run out of money, Kramer puts his Japanese friends up at his place, sleeping in the chest of drawers (much like a capsule hotel). Jerry, caught in the rain, meets Teddy Padilac in the street that claims credit for the twirl. He also meets Brett, who is convinced Jerry is down on his luck.

•Two of the episode's guest stars (Richard Herd and Sab Shimono) had both previously appeared in the 1980 M*A*S*H episode "Back Pay".
•Brett drives around with furniture designer Karl Farbman. In the episode "The Hamptons," the doctor on whom Elaine has a crush notes that the homes in the area were designed by Mark Farbman. Perhaps there is a Farbman design dynasty.
