Kennedy venting his frustration on the golf course. Production Like most two-part Seinfeld episodes, "The Bottle Deposit" was originally conceived as a normal half-hour time slot episode, ran considerably over the allotted 23 minutes during filming, and was filled out to an hour long time slot with additional scenes after the producers concluded that editing it down to 23 minutes would be too difficult. Scenes which were added for the second round of filming include the "Downtown" thread, Jerry's talk with the detective, the identification of the wrecked car, Kramer and Newman singing a parody of "99 Bottles of Beer", Newman's dinner with the farmer and his daughter, and the scene in the insane asylum. The farmer's daughter's cry of "Goodbye, Norman! Goodbye!" at the end of the episode was not as scripted. Actress Karen Lynn Scott misremembered Newman's name, but the Seinfeld team decided the goof made the scene funnier, so it was kept in. Newman's first name was never revealed during the series. During filming of the scene, the running made actor Wayne Knight, then at his peak weight, experience palpitations. Consulting a doctor afterwards, he was told that it was imperative that he lose weight, which led to Knight developing a trimmer figure.
