Complete story — includes the ending

After a favorable job interview that gets interrupted, George does not know if he is hired; he decides to pass himself off as hired while the interviewer is out, and settles into the office while doing nothing each day. Jerry has put up with an unsatisfactory barber, Enzo, for twelve years out of loyalty, but Elaine needs him to get a good haircut for once for a bachelor auction for charity. Kramer sends Jerry to Enzo's nephew Gino, but Enzo is so possessive that Jerry can only get an appointment behind his back. Suspecting Jerry's disloyalty, Enzo sends Newman as a spy to prove Jerry's guilt.
