Niles: Frasier, are you actually so desperate that you're trying to impress those people by having Roz pretend to be some sort of trophy girlfriend?
Frasier: Trophy duchess.

Frasier: I've got to get down there.
Niles: Why? In order to win the approval of a group of virtual strangers?
Frasier: I know it sounds foolish, Niles.
Niles: No, it's not foolish. It's human. I think it's all about the feelings of inferiority you've been carrying with you since high school. That's the real curse. Only, you're not the Bryce Crier anymore, you're a successful man. You have an opportunity for real growth here. Not by trying to impress these people, but by realizing that they don't matter anymore.

Niles: Ooh, ooh, ooh. I just realized this is an even bigger opportunity for personal growth. Having a prestigious new job like this and not even going to that reunion to boast about it.
Frasier: It is a great opportunity, isn't it?
Niles: Have a good time.
Frasier: I will.

Niles: Dad, I know you were trying to help, but don't you think that's a little risky? What if somebody at the reunion knows it's not true?
Martin: Oh, no, you worry too much. Who's gonna know? I mean most of these people are from out of town, they've probably never heard of KPOV!
Daphne: I knew it. When you said KPOV, I thought it sounded familiar. It's right here in Dr. Crane's newsletter. His classmate, Karl Degersdorff, was just made station manager. Won't that be nice for them. They'll be working together now.
Niles: Oh, my God.
Martin: Oh, come on, it'll be all right, don't worry about it. This Degersdorff probably won't even show. He just got a new job, he's probably real busy.
Niles: I guess you're right. We musn't assume the worst. I'm acting like Frasier, as if there really is a curse.
Daphne: Look here, he's also serving as this year's reunion coordinator.
