Because of the 'bump-into,' Jerry tells Elaine that she is destined to backslide into her relationship with David Puddy. Jerry envisions the belly button as the mouth and the sound the stomach makes as its 'voice'.
Jerry and George imagine a scenario in which the stomach of Claire (Jerry's girlfriend) makes sounds during the night, chiefly by saying 'Helloooo! La, la, la!' in a loud, booming voice. He has a one-year contract with Play Now, which he will exploit by meeting only the most basic requirement of showing up for work every day. George's boss ( Gordon Jump) wants to get rid of him, since he now knows he isn't really handicapped as a result, everyone who works there doesn't like him. It was written by Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer, and David Mandel and was directed by Andy Ackerman. This episode first aired on October 2, 1997. “The Voice” is the second episode of the ninth and final season of Seinfeld, and the 158th episode overall.
