Frasier: [on the phone] Hello, Tricia, it's Frasier. Look, I'm, I'm terribly sorry but it's just that my car battery went dead at a light, and I didn't have my cell phone with me. By the time I got a jump I realized I couldn't go directly to the restaurant because I was wearing these ridiculous shorts, and I, I know how this sounds, but it's the truth! Here, just ask my brother. [holding the phone out for Niles]
Niles: They're ridiculous shorts.
