"The Soup Nazi" is the 116th episode of the NBC sitcom ''Seinfeld'', which was the sixth episode of the seventh season. It first aired in the United States on November 2, 1995. The Soup Nazi is also the nickname of the eponymous character played by Larry Thomas. The term "Nazi" is used as an exaggeration of the excessively strict regimentation he constantly demands of his patrons. (compare ''Grammar Nazi'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Eating the Road )〕 ==Plot== Jerry, George and Elaine patronize a new soup stand Kramer has been praising; its owner is referred to as the "Soup Nazi," due to his temperament and insistence on a strict manner of behavior while purchasing an order. Jerry explains the procedure for purchasing, which George accepts but Elaine rejects. En route, Elaine notices a sidewalk furniture dealer with an armoire for sale and decides to stop and purchase it. However, when she returns with it to her building, the building superintendent informs her that moving items inside is prohibited on Sundays. Outside the soup stand, Jerry encounters Kenny Bania who Jerry refuses to let him cut in front of him since they'll both be denied their soup. When Jerry and George arrive at the soup stand where Jerry orders Medium Crab Bisque, George follows the procedure where he orders Medium Turkey Chili, but notices that no free bread was included with his purchase since the person before him didn't pay for his bread. Jerry instructs him to ignore it, but George requests bread and is told its price is $2.00. When George mentions the free bread that customers before him received, he is then informed that the price increased to $3.00. George's continued protest is met with a harsh "No soup for you!" from the Soup Nazi, followed by the cashier immediately confiscating his purchase and brusquely refunding his payment. Elaine, still awaiting the chance to move her new armoire upstairs, asks Kramer to monitor the piece of furniture on the street overnight. When he arrives, she visits the soup stand to purchase soup for him. While she is away, Bob and Cedric intimidate Kramer, when he confronts them, and steal the armoire. At the soup stand, George successfully gets his soup and bread upon trying again. Elaine ignores everyone's prior advice while ordering Mulligatawny and annoys the Soup Nazi with her negative comment about lima beans and stating that he he resembles Al Pacino from ''Scent of a Woman''. The Soup Nazi then quotes "No Soup for You! Come Back One Year." She then returns to her building to find Kramer without the armoire who informs her of its theft. Over the past weeks, Jerry has been annoying George and Elaine with his open affection and baby talk (calling each other "Schmoopie") with his new girlfriend Sheila (Alexandra Wentworth). During another visit to the soup stand, when Sheila protests the Soup Nazi's angry objection to her kissing of Jerry in the line of customers, the Soup Nazi expels her from the stand and Jerry feigns ignorance of her to proceed with a soup purchase. When George learns about Jerry's decision, George admits his annoyance with their "baby talk" romantic behavior to Jerry. Jerry claims to have behaved facetiously with Sheila at the soup stand and vows to redeem himself. When George learns about Jerry's decision, he begins to behave similarly with Susan to express his disgust. Susan misinterprets George's intentions and believes that he is finally enjoying publicly displaying his affections, continuing to behave as such after Jerry again ends his relationship with Sheila. Later, Kramer, who has befriended the Soup Nazi, tells him the incident of the stolen armoire in passing as Newman orders his jambalaya. The Soup Nazi offers Kramer an antique armoire he has in storage in his basement. As a customer quotes "Gazpacho por favor," the Soup Nazi quoted "Por favor" in confusion as the customer states that he is part-Spanish. The Soup Nazi then quotes "Adios muchacho." Kramer gives the armoire to Elaine as a replacement for her stolen one. Elaine goes to thank the Soup Nazi for the armoire, but the Soup Nazi angrily declares that he would have never provided it to Kramer if he had known it was for her, stating he would have destroyed it instead. Offended, Elaine returns home, where she and Jerry subsequently discover the Soup Nazi's secret soup recipes, which have been left behind in a drawer of the old armoire. She returns to his shop with recipes in hand. After a customer has been denied her soup, Elaine makes herself known to the Soup Nazi who states that Elaine is wasting her time trying to get his soup. Elaine states that she can make her own soup as she starts reading the recipe for Wild Mushroom Soup. When the Soup Nazi recognizes the recipe, Elaine states that she also has the recipes for Cold Cucumber, Corn and Crab Chowder, and Mulligatawny. She declares "You're through Soup Nazi. Pack it up. No more soup for you. Next!" Her glee matches his in the way that he angered her before. During the credits, Jerry is on the street as Newman runs up to him. He tells Jerry about what Elaine did to the Soup Nazi by quoting "Elaine's down there causing all kinds of commotion. Somehow she got a hold of his recipes and she says she's gonna drive him out of business! The Soup Nazi said that now that his recipes are out, he's not gonna make anymore soup! He's moving out of the country, moving to Argentina! No more soup, Jerry! No more soup for any of us!" As Newman rushes home to get a big pot for his soup since the Soup Nazi is giving away what's left of his soup, Jerry rushes towards the Soup Nazi's restaurant to get some of the remaining soup. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Soup Nazi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
