Lilith: Frasier. Frasier, I owe you an apology. I haven't been myself the past couple of days.
Frasier: No, darling. l, I trivialized your grief. A husband should be supportive. But, please help me. Help me. Meet me halfway. Why were you carrying a moribund rodent in your evening bag?
Lilith: I wasn't going to take him on our date. But I knew if I left him at the lab, they'd have given him to the undergraduates to dissect. I couldn't let that happen to Whitey. I just wanted to give him a decent burial.
Frasier: I'm, I'm so sorry. How could I have been so insensitive?
Lilith: Of course, I overreacted. But I think I know why. I was confronted for the first time with the death of someone close to me.
Frasier: I understand, dear. It's what we call a crisis.
Lilith: I know what we call it, Frasier. The upshot is I've never been more acutely aware of how precious and fragile life is for each of us.
