Jerry: You're crazy.
Kramer: Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
Jerry: It's impossible.
Kramer: Is it? Or is it so possible that your head is spinning like a top?
Jerry: It can't be.
Kramer: Can't it? Or is your entire world crashing down all around you?

Funny thing... My maiden name was Newman. But no one picked up on the Hello, Newman thing until after the show went off the air. Slow on the uptake I guess.
