Ipelmeyer, an obvious social climber, invites them to a costume ball. We know that Ipelmeyer is Jewish from an infamous exchange: he leans forward and says to Bertram, "But first I have to tell you a big secret: I am an Israelite."

Ipelmeyer then turns as his wife enters and ironically says "Oi!" She is also enormously obese, hook-nosed, and gaudily dressed with flashy jewelry. When she asks him (in Yiddish) how she looks, he replies, "From the front you look nebbish like Catherine the Great, and from the back you look healthy like Napoleon." She objects, saying that Napoleon was anti-Semitic, to which he replies, "That's why he went bust in Moscow," implying that the Soviet Union is controlled by Jews.
