Frasier: Good Lord, here we are writing an article on taking your child through a divorce. And our own son is nursing the hopeless fantasy that we'll get back together. We've got to go talk with him.
Lilith: No. Wait a minute. Something is not right here. When has Frederick ever expressed the slightest desire to see us together?
Frasier: He could have been sublimating it for years.
Lilith: Even so, he lied to both of us. He had to have known that we'd compare notes.
Frasier: All right, so his plan was a little artless.
Lilith: Unless... That's exactly what he wanted.
Frasier: What do you mean?
Lilith: Think about it. He makes us believe that he wants us together. Of course, we have to tell him that that's not going to happen. His hopes are dashed and we feel so guilty that we compensate by getting him something he wants.
Frasier: A minibike?
