"The Old Man" is the fifty-eighth episode of the American television sitcom Seinfeld. It was the 18th episode of the 4th season. It aired on February 18, 1993.

Jerry, Elaine and George volunteer to help the elderly. Jerry gets assigned to a nasty old man. Elaine is repulsed by the goiter problems of the woman she is visiting and George depresses his charge. Kramer and Newman try the business of selling old records to a used record store. Jerry loses track of his man when they try to take him to the dentist to repair his dentures, after the man had bitten Kramer's arm.

George: I come from a long line of quitters. My grandfather was a quitter, my father was a quitter. I was raised to give up.

Old man: That's my housekeeper. She steals from me. Plays that freakin' voodoo music to, Hypmotise me, and steal all my things and possessions--Says she don't speak English....my ass she doesn't speak English! Are you the boyfriend? I know she's got a boyfriend. Are you gonna kill me? You're gonna kill an old man you coward.

Old man: Good thank God. Oh, before you go, would you mind changing my diaper? Ha, Ha (fist pump).

House keeper: No, No, English. George: I would like to dip my bald head in oil and rub it all over your body. You don't understand, it's a miracle.

Jerry: You're throwin' this stuff out? Old Man: I believe that's what you do with garbage you IDIOT!!

Newman: (repeating what Kramer whispers in his ear) You are nothing but a piece of crap... I find you extremely ugly... you emit a foul and unpleasant odor... I loathe you!
