Frasier: I know the kings of England and I quote the fights historical,
From Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical.

I understand equations both the simple and quadratical.

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse!
Martin: With many awful facts about the scary hippopotamus!

Niles: 'fraid not. The first name ends with the same sound that begins the last name. So you either end up running them together, "Jack-rane", or you face the dreaded glottal stop, "Jack Crane", "Jack Crane". It's unpleasant for the throat.
Daphne: This conversation's unpleasant for the throat.

Roz: Oh, my God. Are you still stuck picking a name for that application?

Roz: Oh God, give it to me. And then I'll fill it in and you'll never have to see it and you won't feel stuck with it.
Daphne: That's a great idea.
