After being humiliated during an appearance on a TV show to help Lilith promote her new book, Good Girls, Bad Boys, Frasier retreats to Cheers, where he sits alone at a table, writing furiously on a legal pad. Woody and Norm are there to try to help cheer him up.
Woody: Good show, Dr Crane.
Norm: Yeah, except they cut to a commercial right before it started getting good, you know? Right when your wife was about to pants Sammy with her teeth.
Frasier: I just couldn't believe that group got so excited, there was such idiotic behavior, and all because of Lilith's stupid book.
Norm: Wait a minute. I thought you liked Lilith's book.
Frasier: Oh, I did, till I re-read it with a scientific eye and the impartiality of a fellow empiricist. Then I decided it's pure crap.
Woody: Where's Dr Sternin-Crane now?
Frasier: Oh, probably at home, working on Pure Crap Volume Two.
Woody: What are you doing, Dr Crane?
Frasier: Just compiling some notes for a book of my own.
Norm Oh, now you're not jealous of Lilith here, are you?
(Norm crosses over to Frasier's table and picks up some of Frasier's finished pages to peruse.)
Frasier: Norm, please. Give me some credit. I've been planning to do this for years.
Norm (reading the title page): "Nice Psychiatrists Who Marry Castrating Shrew Battle-ax Harridan Fishwives."
---from "Severe Crane Damage," Cheers, Season 8
.
Frasier: Oh, probably at home, working on Pure Crap Volume Two.

These posts are fun. Much more fun than, um, the work I should be doing. :)
