Quote from Frasier in And Frasier Makes Three
Frank: That's a great wine. Can I steal a glass? Charlotte: Yeah, here. [to Frasier] You don't mind, do you? Frasier: No. No, not at all. Although as the Irish say, "A man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, the drink takes the man." Frank: That's very good. "As the old cock crows, the young cock learns." Frasier: Yes, well, wasn't it O'Casey who once wrote: "The Irish treat a serious thing as a joke, and a joke as a serious thing."? Charlotte: You'd really have to ask Frank about that. He's the one who loves Irish literature. He lent me an anthology, but I haven't made much of a dent in it. I'm sorry, honey, I'm trying.
