It's a season 3, episode #38 where Jerry breaks up with his artsy g/f and she writes him an amazing letter that she plagiarizes from some movie. What movie does it come from?

JERRY: (looking at the paper) Wow, a letter from Nina!
KRAMER: (notices the painting) Whoa, man! That is the ugliest thing I've ever
seen!
JERRY: (reading note) Oh my god!
GEORGE: What?
JERRY: This is amazing, you can't believe this!
GEORGE: What's it say?
JERRY: Listen to this: "I don't know what you expect to find out there,
Jerry, you know what you want better than me. But there's one thing
I do know. I know I can stand here watching you destroy everything
I've ever wanted in my life, wanting to smash your face with my fists,
because you won't make even the slightest effort to offer happiness
and still know that I love you. You mean so much to me that I'm will-
ing to take all your abuse and insults and insensitivity."
GEORGE: WOW!
KRAMER: (emotionally) She's deep.
JERRY: (reading on) "...'cause that's what you need to do to prove I'm not
going to leave you. I'm sick and tired of running from places and
people and relationships. You want me, that fight for me, becau-"
(Kramer blows his noes loudly) "...because I'm sure as hell fighting
for you!"
KRAMER: You know Jerry, she sounds like a poet!
JERRY: No one's ever written me a letter like this. Maybe I was wrong about
her!
KRAMER: (pushing Jerry towards the phone) Yeah! Get in there and give her a
call. Pick up the phone and call her!
JERRY: Should I?
KRAMER: (screaming) YES! YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT YOU SHOULD! (hysterically) Fight
for her, Jerry, she's sure as hell fighting for you!
JERRY: ALL RIGHT, all right! I'll call her.
