The Great Race

This episode is locked. New translations may be added.

After Louie reprimands the cabbies for low bookings and boasts of what a good cab driver he used to be, the cabbies propose a contest to see whether Alex or Louie can book more. Louie agrees with the caveat that Elaine must go out with him if he wins. During the contest, Alex forgoes chances to make big money unscrupulously, while Louie tries to con his passengers out of their money whenever possible. When all is said and done, Louie appears to have won by $15. Later, they determine that Alex has been tipped $40, while Louie has only been tipped 85 cents, and Alex is declared the winner, saving Elaine from a frightful night with Louie.
