Soulmates: The Unofficial Jack & Karen Site

Summary: Grace gets Will to represent her after hotshot lawyer Ben Doucette doesn't pay her for a consulting assignment Grace does. Will is impressed and a little intimidated about going up against Ben.

During the meeting, Will is less than impressed with Ben, but Ben is impressed enough with Will to offer him a job, which he eagerly accepts. But when Ben tells Will to get rid of Grace without paying her her money, Will is conflicted and finally tells Ben that he can't do it. Ben then reveals that it was all just a test. Grace gets her money and Will gets to keep his new job.

Meanwhile, Jack is thrilled when he gets a role in a training video on sexual harasment. But when his co-star calls in sick, Jack convinces Karen to take her place.

However, Karen has too much fun getting "sexually harassed" by Jack when he puts his tongue in her ear and the video almost gets cut. Afterwards, Karen shows Jack why she was having such a good time by putting her tongue in his ear and the two spend some time "sexually harassing" each other.

Quotes
JACK: It's a hard hitting look at sexual harassment in the workplace.
WILL: Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! I'm sorry, Jack. Sexual harassment? Starring the guy that asked his coworker at Starbucks if he had 2 nipples for a dime?
JACK: Which, by the way, was the beginning of a very fulfilling 3-day relationship.

----
WILL: Don't you think it's possible that maybe I'm jealous because you've got this great new job, and I've been unemployed for a month?
JACK: Oh, no. Are you?
WILL: Yeah, right! Ha ha ha!
----
JACK (TO WILL): I'm raiding your closet. They said, 'dress like a repressed straight guy'.
----
GRACE: As Jane Seymour says to her wheelchair-bound husband in every Lifetime movie...'I believe in you.'
----
JACK: Can't talk. In a movie. There's just enough time to grab some ice cream and run to my acting class.
GRACE: Why don't you just combine them and study with Uta Haagen-Dazs?
JACK: Ha ha ha! That's--ha!
GRACE: You don't get that, do you?
JACK: Not really. No.
----
KAREN [ENTERING]: Honey, when I agreed to drive you to the set, you didn't say it was on Staten Island! How the hell am I ever gonna get the stench of landfill and working class families out of tropical lightweight wool? [TO BOB] What are you lookin' at, eyebags?
----
BEN: I'm gonna make a wild guess here and say that you two are more than friends but less than lovers. You're gay, and she's straight.
WILL: Very good. Now if you can guess my weight, you'll get a T-shirt that says, 'That's really none of your business'.
----
WILL: What's with you and the nuts?! Are you gonna eat one or what?
BEN: I don't like eating them. I just like crushing them.
WILL: Eh-heh! Give me a break. [AS DR. EVIL] Shouldn't you be stroking a white cat while you say that?
----
WILL: This is the famous Ben Doucette intimidation tactic? You crush nuts? That's why I should never meet a legend. It's always disappointing, like the time I met Big Bird at the Ice Capades. No-o-ot so big.
----
BOB: You guys ready? Jack? Jack?
JACK: I'm sorry. I am at one with my character right now, so from here on in, could you please refer to me as Mr. Whakerly?
BOB: Uh... No.
JACK: Good idea. I'll use that.
----
KAREN: Meats and cheeses! You are rockin' my clock, Mary!
----
KAREN [MOVING HER HEAD ON JACK'S TONGUE, WHISPERING]: Okay. I love that...
ANNOUNCER: Clearly this female employee is uncomfortable and finds her boss' overture unwelcome. You know, sensitivity?
BOB: Cut! Cut, cut, cut!
KAREN: You're gonna cut now?! Oh...typical man! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. Now, we are gonna do this until we get it right. Okay?
----
JACK: My tongue's drier than a Triscuit in an old lady's cupboard.
----
JACK (TO KAREN): Couldn't you have shown some kind of respect for acting? Couldn't you have just-- [KAREN PUTS HER TONGUE IN JACK'S EAR] Ahh...Chaka Khan, you totally found my G-spot! Oh!
KAREN: Okay, honey, now do me. Do me. Do me. [JACK PUTS HIS TONGUE IN KAREN'S EAR] Okay, that's... Oh, I love that.
JACK: Okay, me! Me. Me again. Me again. And keep your boobies away. I'm trying to imagine Matt Damon.
----
GRACE [TO BUHL]: Uh, excuse me, your honor. Can you please instruct opposing counsel to stop badgering the witness?
WILL: Grace, you are not a witness. He is not a judge. This is not a trial, and you are not a lawyer!
GRACE: I know you aren't, but what am I?
WILL: Okay, so we're in that head space.
----
WILL: Gracie, there is no--
GRACE: Objection! [TO BUHL] The familiar cutening of my name implies we like each other.
BUHL: Ms. Adler, though it's clear you know a lot of legal terms, you've yet to use a single one of them properly.
GRACE [TO BUHL]: May I approach the bench?
BUHL: You'd have to build one first.
----
WILL: But wait, wait, wait, wait! So, what? This was just a test? Like this is Willy Wonka and you've just given me the keys to the Chocolate Factory?
BEN: Will, you've got your job. But, please, don't refer to me as 'the chocolate factory'. See you tomorrow.
WILL: But-- [TO MRS. FREEMAN] Heh heh! You know I didn't mean anything by the chocolate factory remark, right?
MRS. FREEMAN: Mm-hmm.
----
WILL: Grace, am I wrong, or is there some large, round object in your pants that is not your ass?
GRACE: I didn't think I was gonna win, so I stole his bowl. [GRACE PULLS A BOWL FROM HER PANTS.]
WILL: That's the bowl Ben keeps his nuts in.
GRACE: Okay, puttin' the bowl back.
