Quotes 

• Frasier : Thank you for your call, Jeanine. Roz, whom do we have next?

  Roz Doyle : We have Ethan on line three, and he's having a little problem at school.

  Frasier : Hello, Ethan. I'm listening.

  Ethan : Hi, Dr. Crane.

  Frasier : How old are you?

  Ethan : I'm 13.

  Frasier : Well, uh, what can I do for you?

  Ethan : Well, I'm having a lot of problems with the other kids at school. They're always beating me up.

  Frasier : Why do you think that's so?

  Ethan : Probably because I'm smart. I have a 160 IQ, I'm in the astronomy club, and I hate sports.

  Frasier : Well, Ethan, you know, the other children are just acting out of jealousy and immaturity, and I know it doesn't help much right now, but the day will come in the next few years when you will have the last laugh.

  Ethan : That's it?

  Frasier : Yes.

  Ethan : Frankly, Dr. Crane, I find that advice patronizing, simplistic, and in all candor, uninspired. The real surprise here is they pay you to dole out this balloon juice.

  Frasier : Ethan, where are you calling from?

  Ethan : Home.

  Frasier : Well, if any of Ethan's classmates are listening, you know where he is, and he can't stay in there forever. Thank you for your call.
