-Actually, I didn't forget.

Okay, okay. Now I understand.

What if we just think
of it more as a slogan?

Good afternoon, Seattle,
this is Dr. Frasier Crane.

And I would like to begin
today by apologizing

for my abrupt departure
from the airwaves yesterday.

00:15:58,264 --> 00:16:03,519
You see, I was embroiled in a
conflict with the management.

that it has been resolved,

Actually, it's the darndest thing.

00:16:36,259 --> 00:16:37,260

Well, how did that happen?

00:16:40,430 --> 00:16:42,806
Well, I told the sponsors you
wouldn't be reading their ads.

368
00:16:42,890 --> 00:16:46,059
Next thing, I'm getting called into
Mr. Martin's office in the Black Tower.

I told them that sponsors are
easier to replace than talent.

He said I was easier
to replace than anybody.

371

Then he called me a pinhead
and took my Coke away.

through that board meeting.
