Frasier Quote #242

Quote from Frasier in Yacht of Fools

Cliff: Check out Mr. Evan Drake over there, acting like he owns the place, eh? Thinks that he's just some, uh, big shot corporate executive, eh? Doesn't have to pay attention to the common man like you and me? We're not important enough.
Frasier: Well, actually, Cliff, if it helps to alleviate this envy that seems to be eating you up right now, studies have shown that rich people are 40 to 50% less happy than most of us.
Sam: Oh, come on, that's a crock.
Frasier: Well, of course it is, but we have to cling to it, don't we?
