Dr. Katz: I'm just worried that the first guy Ben sees, he'll give him a deposit, and the guy will disappear into the back of a van.
Stanly: Why do you have such little faith in him?
Dr. Katz: I guess from spending time with him.

Ben: (on phone) No I love you more. No, no, you are. I love you more. Of course... Don't play this game. Don't, no you're the most fantastic person on the planet. You are! Yes, you're the best. No you, okay, alright. I will, I will. You too... you're the best. You're better... you're better you're better! Hey, alright, do you wanna say 'hi' to uh... right. I love you too. Bye-bye.

Dr. Katz: Well if I said 'hated pool', it was a slip, but it wasn't a Freudian slip. It was a Jungian slip.

Neil Simon
Barry Sobel mentions his family acted in Neil Simon plays.

Carl Jung, founder of Analytical psychology, was an early associate of Sigmund Freud. However, they parted ways from one another following deeply entrenched disagreements. Their primary disagreement involved the nature of the unconscious. Unlike Freud, Jung believed that the unconscious existed on two levels -- the personal (containing an individual's repressed material) and the collective (containing archetypes, or universally shared predispositions). The actual concept of the "Jungian slip" was, though, just a joke.
