Niles: Cancel the Millennium! Chez Henri has burned down!
Frasier: Burned down?
Niles: Yes! Apparently, Henri was caramelizing a huge creme brulee in the shape of Puget Sound, when a sugar spark ignited a thirty-foot paper maché "Space Needle." They're already calling it the worst centerpiece disaster in the history of Seattle.
Frasier: Henri built his reputation with that caramelizing torch. My God, the irony of him burning down his own restaurant with it. It's worthy of O. Henry.
Niles: Oh! Henri. [laughs]
Frasier: Please, Niles, it's too soon to joke.
