Frasier: Oh, let's not just gloss over that. You, my only brother, has just told me you're not happy and it pains me to hear that, so why?
Niles: I was watching PBS the other night in my study and they were showing this documentary on the Great Depression. Vintage Steinbeck: desperately poor people escaping the Dust Bowl, their meager possessions strapped to rickety old trucks heading to what they thought was their salvation. Then there was this scene of this scruffy little boy being handed a brand-new pair of shoes by the Salvation Army. Frasier, if you could have seen the look on that boy's face, it was a look of pure and utter happiness. I have never experienced that kind of happiness, not in my whole life. Not even when I bought these $400 Bruno Maglis. Do you like them?
Frasier: Well, they're very nice.
Niles: What about the tassels?
Frasier: Well, I'm not really much of a tassel guy.
Niles: No, neither am I. Nevertheless, there they are.
