Part of the plot involves Elaine and her boyfriend, who has two cats. She tries to talk Jerry into doing some kind of hit job on them. He declines, and she gives the boyfriend an ultimatum, them or her. He chooses the cats. Several times Elaine skeptically repeats the phrase, they're clean animals.
Although Seinfeld was so cosmopolitan, and flaunted its sophistication, that comedy series really had more in common with Friends than the writers would ever admit. Elaine and Phoebe both are knocked around in a world which they must navigate with their wits, and by themselves. Although Elaine operates without second thoughts in a world from which Phoebe seems unmoored, both Elaine and Phoebe jut their chins out at the same angle.
