  Martin : [about Frasier]  Hey, Sam, what'd he tell you about me, the father, the old cop?

  Sam Malone : Well, uh, he told me you were dead.

  Martin : [surprised]  Dead?

  Frasier : Well, we had an argument one day. He called me a stuffed shirt and hung up on me. I was mad.

  Sam Malone : [to Martin]  You were a cop?

  [to Frasier] 

  Sam Malone : You told me he was a research scientist.

  [Martin reacts] 

  Frasier : [to Martin]  You were dead! What did it matter?

• Daphne Moon : I don't understand this American obsession with sports figures. They're all so superficial.

  Martin : Yeah, it's not like they do anything real important, like sit on a throne or christen ships.
