Frasier: Mr. Houghton, you know, there is one further thing I'd like to add about your book.
T.H. Houghton: Yeah?
Frasier: Well, it's the way you modulated into the second person narrative during the flashback scene. Frankly, it beggars anything Faulkner attempted.
T.H. Houghton: Really? That's very flattering.
Niles: Ooh. Oh, wait, I have one too. The way you so skillfully mirrored the structure of Dante's "Divine Comedy" was inspired.
T.H. Houghton: Really?
Frasier: Yes, yes. But the inferno of the bordello...
Niles: Which we noticed had exactly nine rooms.
Frasier: Uh-huh. To the purgatory of the assembly line and finally to the paradise of the farm.
T.H. Houghton: You both saw that?
Niles: Oh, it practically jumped off the page.
T.H. Houghton: Well, that's very perceptive of you.
Frasier: Well, thank you. I guess it's our turn to be flattered.
T.H. Houghton: You're absolutely right. This whole book is crap!
