Martin Crane: Well, that took years to get down.
Alex: Sure. Sure.
Thad: Come on, tell us: What do you think of Warhol?
Martin Crane: [faux-contemplative pause] Crap.

9/10

Has Anyone Seen the Three Stooges?

Frasier and Niles have had disastrous dinner parties. When Daphne suggest that she do the next one, Frasier will have nothing to do with it. But everything that could go wrong, seems to. This is classic slapstick, reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy or he aforementioned Larry, Moe, and Curly. Pure madness.
