‘The Soul Mate’

Season 8, Episode 2 -  Aired September 26, 1996

Kramer falls for the woman Jerry is dating. George thinks the people at Susan's foundation suspect him of foul play. Elaine is excited to meet a man who doesn't want children.

Quote from George

Elaine: Well, I hear three distinct sounds: A low rumple, followed by a metallic squink...
George: Yes! Yes, I heard the squink!
Elaine: ...followed by a mysterious 'glonk.'
George: It's a real baffler, isn't it?
Elaine: Well, one question does come to mind. Have you considered just asking them what happened to the briefcase?
George: They would never tell me, Elaine. First of all, they probably think that I killed Susan. Besides, I don't even think they like me.

Quote from Newman

Newman: [to Kramer] With your looks and my words, we'll have built the perfect beast.

Quote from Elaine

Kevin: Elaine, you've changed my life.
Elaine: Oh, Kevin, you can go on and on about how you don't want kids. And it sounds, it sounds really nice, but the truth is, I don't know if you mean it or not.
Kevin: I got a vasectomy this morning.
Elaine: Although, I have a hunch you mean it.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: I just came by to tell you. I'm really, really happy about this relationship. Really happy.
Pam: Oh. Well, that's um... nice.
Jerry: [inner monologue] A velvet scrunchie! [out loud] Kramer!

Quote from Newman

Jerry: Hello, Newman.
Newman: Hello, Jerry. How's Pam?
Jerry: Pam? What do you care?
[Jerry notices Newman is holding a bag from Pam's bookstore]
Newman: Well, ta-ta!
Jerry: Wait a minute!

Quote from Newman

Jerry: All right, Newman. What do I have to do to get you to stop pulling the strings for Kramer?
Newman: Well, there is a little something you can do for me...
Jerry: Come on, out with it.
Newman: It's about... Elaine.
Jerry: Elaine? What does she have to- Oh no.
Newman: You dated her. Give me some inside information. Anything I can use!
Jerry: [shrugs] Well, I know she doesn't want to have kids.

Quote from Elaine

Kevin: Oh, I get all jazzed up about something and I go way to far with it.
Elaine: Really?
Kevin: Oh, yeah. Like last summer. I'm watching TV and I saw one of those jet-skis. $4000 later and it's sitting in my garage.
Elaine: You know, that's weird, actually, 'cause I'm sort of the same way. I mean, once for like, no reason, I flattened my hair and I had all these strands hanging in my face all the time.
Kevin: Sometimes I think I do want kids. Maybe a lot of kids!
Elaine: Sometimes I think about wearing my hair real short.
Kevin: Yeah, I think I like short hair. Really short.
Elaine: Yeah.
Kevin: Yeah.

Quote from Kramer

Pam: Listen, I had a long talk with Kramer today...
Jerry: Uh-huh...
Pam: Well, the thing is, I uh...I think I have a little crush on him.
[Kramer opens the door and slides in on his knees]
Kramer: I'm so happy! My world suddenly has meaning!
Jerry: This is the man you have a crush on?
Pam: Well, I have feelings for both of you.
Kramer: How can you have feelings for him? We're soul mates.
Jerry: Why can't I be a soul mate?
Kramer: Jerry, you really think that Pam would want you to be the father of her children?
Pam: Children? Who said anything about children? I don't want to have children.
[Jerry and Kramer share a puzzled look with each other]

Quote from Newman

Elaine: What are you guys doing here?
Jerry: We're getting vasectomies.
Elaine: Why?
Newman: [to Elaine] I'm doing it for you.
Elaine: What?

Quote from Kramer

Jerry: What did you do to your hair?
Elaine: I cut it.
Jerry: It's a little short.
Kevin: You think?
Jerry: What are you doing here?
Elaine: Kevin's having his vasectomy reversed.
Jerry & Newman: Reversed?!
[Kramer comes hobbles out of the clinic whimpering with pain. Jerry and Newman quickly decide to follow him out.]
