I knew Donald's "You're the Puppet" line seemed awfully familiar.

From the Seinfeld episode "The Dealership":

PUDDY: Paper jam.. Got it! (Holds his hand up) High-five. (Elaine reluctantly slaps it. He turns around, and puts his hand out behind his back) On the flip side.

ELAINE: David, um, I..

PUDDY: (Still holding out his hand) Don’t leave me hangin’

ELAINE: You’re a salesman now - and the high-five is.. it’s very grease monkey.

PUDDY: What did I tell you about that?

ELAINE: I’m sorry, but the high-five is just so stupid.

PUDDY: (Somewhat hurt) Oh yeah? I’ll tell you what’s stupid. You. Stupid.

ELAINE: Well, that is really mature.

PUDDY: Yeah? So are you.

ELAINE: Huh?

PUDDY: You’re the grease monkey.

ELAINE: (Confused at David’s attempts at a comeback) Uh.. that doesn’t make any sense. I am leaving.
