Frasier: OK, Roz, who do we have?
Roz: We have Gary from Issiqua on line two. He and his wife had a big fight.
Frasier: Sorry to hear that, Gary. I'm listening.
Gary: "Well, you see, Dr. Crane, my wife's hell-bent on going to Italy this year."
Frasier: Ah, Italia! The rolling hills of Toscana, the art of Firenze, the passion that is Venezia!
Gary: "Yeah, well, anyway, I like taking a vacation as much as the next guy, but I say if we dip into our savings, the first thing we should buy is a new sump pump for the basement. At least with that-"
Frasier: Oh, listen, Gary. Let me stop you right there. I'm afraid I'm going to have to side with your wife on this one.
Gary: "But the trip to Italy costs 1,800 bucks, and that doesn't include the Splendors of the Vatican package."
Frasier: Gary, there is more to life than sump pumps. Whatever happened to feeding our souls? Look, for example, I recently purchased a painting by one of this country's premier artists. Oh, it's not important who. Well, it's Seattle's own Martha Paxton. Practical? No. But ever since acquiring that painting, I look at it every day and there's not a moment when I do that I'm not uplifted by its beauty. So, Gary, go to Italy. Bring back a suitcase full of memories. Will you do that?
Gary: "I still think I should get the sump pump."
Frasier: Well, then yes, Gary, you- You should get the sump pump. We'll be right back after this news break. Roz? Uh, just what is a sump pump?
Roz: If you need one, you'll know.
