Quote from Frasier in Dinner at Eight
Roz: We have Pam on line four. She's having a problem with her family. Frasier: Hello, Pam. This is Dr. Frasier Crane. I'm listening. Pam: "Hi. It's my in-laws. It's just that, well, they drop over all the time without calling first and they expect us to stop what we're doing and entertain them." Frasier: Well, they're your husband's parents. What does he suggest? Pam: "The other day he had us drop to the floor and stay quiet until they drove away." Frasier: A creative approach, but hardly a long-term solution. Pam: "Well, I thought about saying something but I'm afraid I'll hurt their feelings." Frasier: Well, then, you have a choice. Either you risk hurting their feelings or you spend the rest of your life diving for cover whenever they happen to drop on by. Pam: [Doorbell] "Shh! They're here!" Frasier: Your in-laws? Pam: "Shh! Yes." Frasier: (Whispers) Then why don't you just take this opportunity- Oh, for Pete's sake! Why don't you just tell them how you feel. Pam: "Okay, okay. I will. Next time. I promise. Thanks, Dr. Crane." Frasier: Ah, well, as Pam belly-crawls across her living room, let's take a moment for this message from Carpet Fresh. How's that for a segue?
