Yes the one that tells his wife to stop looking at him as though he's "put on his face as part of some costume" (paraphrasing)...

I always loved the characters he played. He was a lovable old guy. I remember when he played Santa in Highway To Heaven. He'll be missed. RIP Bill.

One of my favorite Seinfeld Episodes:
Jerry: Hi, I'm Jerry Seinfeld, the agency sent me.

Sid: Agency? What agency? The *CIA*?

Jerry: No, no, the--

Sid: Who let you in here?

Jerry: The woman, she--

Sid: Oh *her*. She *steals* from me. Steals my money. She says she
doesn't speak English. My ***** she doesn't speak English. Plays
that freakin' "voo-doo" music, tries to hypnotize me. She thinks
she's gonna turn me into a zombie and then rob me blind. Well,
I wasn't born yesterday. I may drop dead today, but I sure as Hell
wasn't born yesterday. Now get the Hell out of my house...

Jerry: Mr. Fields, I'm here to spend some time with you.
