After Eddie takes a job across the country, Carla is afraid to fly out to see him. Meanwhile, a reviewer visits Cheers.

Quote from Carla

Carla: [on the phone] Honest, Eddie. I'm flying out tomorrow night. Yeah. Frasier's class taught me how stupid it was to be afraid of flying. Oh, me, too. I can't wait to get you alone, strip you out of that penguin outfit, and climb all over ya. We're sharing a room with the three little pigs? Well, they're used to huffing and puffing. [laughs] All right. See you then.

Quote from Carla

Man: Excuse me, miss? I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. I've had a fear of flying for years, and I think it's time that I confronted it. How can I get into that class that worked miracles for you?
Carla: I can do better than that. The doctor's over there. Hey, Fras?
Frasier: I'm in my happy place.
Carla: Sign up early.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Now, just stay in your happy place. If it's the beach, just imagine that that sound is the gentle rippling of the water. Carla, where's your happy place?
Carla: On the floor of my stomach, clutching the earth with both hands.
Frasier: Good. Good! Oh!
Woman: Uh, Dr. Crane I've forgotten where my happy place is.
Frasier: I think yours was in the Berkshires.
Woman: Oh, yes.
Man #2: Mine is in the Berkshires.
Frasier: Look, everybody can be in the Berkshires if they like. The Berkshires is an expansive and wonderful wooded wonderland.
Carla: That's going to go up like a Roman candle when this baby crashes into it!
Pilot: [v.o.] Ladies and gentlemen, we've been cleared for takeoff. So please, sit back, relax. Thanks for flying with us.
Carla: Did he say, "Thanks for dying with us"?
Frasier: Just relax. I'll be sitting right here beside you. If you're a little nervous, go ahead and grab on to me.

Quote from Carla

Carla: Forget the pilot! What about those mechanics, huh? I mean, what if one of those guys has a bad day? Forgets to screw in a lug nut?
Frasier: Carla, they're trained technicians.
Man #2: Aren't they in a labor dispute?
Frasier: Yes, but it's almost over.
Woman: Well, what happens if we get hit by lightning?
Frasier: Oh, now, I'm sure the plane is designed to handle that.
Carla: Or if a teeny, tiny little bird gets in the engine?
Frasier: God! What bird would be flying at 30,000 feet?
Man #1: We're at 30,000 feet?
Carla: This plane is too heavy to be up that high! If anything happens, we're all just going to drop like spit off the Prudential Building.

Quote from Sam

Eddie LeBec: Hey, Carla, listen. It's been breaking me up, you know, not being able to find work, not being able to support you and the kids. It's like I was losing myself as a man. Well, now, you know, I got a job. Aren't you proud of me?
Carla: Eddie, take off your beak. This is a joke, right? You're with Pittsburgh.
Eddie LeBec: Pittsburgh? No, I'm with the Wonderful World of Ice. You know, that big ice show. They're hiring lots of hockey players like me.
Cliff: Hey, at least you won't have to worry about renting a tux, Eddie. [chuckling]
Norm: Yeah, what are they paying you, Ed? Seven, eight fish a day?
Sam: Hey, you guys, knock it off. He's got himself an honest job. He gets paid. He, um... Come on, help me out here, man.
