Later, when she got sick, B.J. came to Boston to visit her in the hospital, and he did something I will always be profoundly grateful for. He did for her what he had done for me when I was a nervous, homesick, heartbroken New York transplant hired on my first writing job on season 1 of The Office. He made her laugh. And that is why B.J. and I are soul mates, and the reason is … because in terms of the soul, we like to … That doesn't make any sense. We're soup snakes. B.J. and I are soup snakes.
B.J. visited Mindy in the hospital when she fell ill, providing her with comfort and laughter during a difficult time. He had previously supported her during her early days on "The Office," easing her anxiety as a newcomer to the writing team. His ability to bring joy and humor into challenging situations deepened their bond.
This shared experience solidified their connection, leading Mindy to describe their relationship as one between "soul mates." Despite the playful confusion in explaining their unique bond, she affectionately refers to them as "soup snakes," illustrating their deep friendship and mutual understanding.
