Sam: [on the phone] No, it's been crazy around here. Carla's been moping around all night 'cause none of her old school chums will back her up on this. You know, Carla, she's got so much anger bottled up, I'm afraid she's going to hurt someone. And without you here, I'm next in line.
[As Diane talks on the phone, Frasier is loudly attending to the fireplace in the ski chalet]
Diane: Sam, it would never come to that. Carla has a means of dealing with anger that's very effective. She vents it constantly in small doses to prevent a build-up that might erupt in violence. It's a technique that many hot-tempered, uneducated people evolve instinctively and though it's rather primitive, it is nearly as effective as more sophisticated techniques cultivated and employed by better-educated people with gentler tempers... Stop that, damn it. Please, darling, just until I'm finished.
Frasier: Certainly, dearest heart.
Diane: Thank you, love of my life. [on the phone] Sam, I'm sorry. What were we- What was I saying?
Sam: You don't know either? Well, we gotta have a rule around here. When you speak at least one of us has got to to be listening. Give my best to Frasier. Bye.
