* Frasier telling Niles, with all sincerity, that he is an excellent judge of character. Of course, then Daphne asks why he didn't have their contact deliver the caviar straight to his house. Seems he didn't want the man knowing where he lives.
* Having taken too many orders for caviar, Frasier and Niles get despondent, and feel they must bite the bullet and buy retail again... not noticing Frasier has turned his back on the hamper full of caviar next to Roz.
* Eventually, the two go to the source, a pair of Russians in a boat on the docks. Just as they get a supply of caviar, the US Customs Department shows up, and the Russians bolt. A panicking Frasier and Niles try to hide the "evidence" by eating it.



'''Daphne:''' Well, like any child, the first time that he had a tooth fall out, he put it under his pillow at bedtime, and sure enough, the next morning he found that Winston Churchill had left him a shiny new coin.\\

* Meanwhile, in the b-plot, Niles has found a photo from the Caribbean cruise which, after some analysis, he and Frasier learn is a nipple photo, which Niles figures is Daphne's... until the end of the episode, when Daphne informs him it's not ''her'' nipple. It's ''Martin's'' (he was trying to take a photo of Eddie to use up the film roll, and there was a mishap). Niles's expression of sheer horror cannot be described, but then Martin shows up, since Niles offered to take him to dinner. Unfortunate choice of words abound.

'''Harry:''' You're right. She ''has'' mellowed.

* At the beginning of the episode, Frasier and Niles (but mostly Frasier)'s squabbling over official wine club policy is ruining the fun for everyone.
-->'''Club member:''' I remember when we used to come here to ''drink''...
* Frasier's first episode of the ''Wine Corner'', which goes disastrously, even after having to take fifteen minutes of an unhappy Gil's time away from him.
-->'''Roz:''' Did you really mean that?\\
'''Frasier:''' Oh, who cares, Roz, I stopped listening to ''myself'' ten minutes ago.
* Working at home, Frasier tries asking Martin for advice.
-->'''Frasier:''' Dad, tell me if you think this is too subtle for my listening audience: "This delightful offering is infused with the brooding, almost dangerous presence of vanilla."\\
'''Martin:''' No, it's not too subtle, unless you want them to know what the hell you're talking about.\\
'''Frasier:''' What, you don't think it's clear that I enjoyed the wine?\\
'''Martin:''' I don't think it's clear you're talking about wine.
* Soon, the fill-in for Daphne turns up, and it becomes clear she's something of a DrillSergeantNasty, dragging Martin off. Screaming is soon heard, while Frasier is aghast to learn Niles has forbidden the wine club from calling Frasier's show.
-->'''Frasier:''' Good lord, the man is my own brother. How can someone turn his back on his own flesh and blood?\\
''(Martin wails in agony from his bedroom)''\\
'''Frasier:''' SOMEONE ON THE PHONE HERE!
* Frasier storms into the wine club to confront Niles, demanding he be stripped of the title of corkmaster.
-->'''Niles:''' The motion fails for a lack of a second.\\
'''Reynolds:''' Second!\\
'''Niles:''' Stop that!
* The surly member mentioned up above chimes in with his own motion: "I move for whatever gets us to the bar!" "Second that!"
* After getting booted out, Frasier has to spend his Wednesday evening moping, much to Martin's irritation since while his new therapist is a harsh task-master, she's also a great cook.
-->'''Frasier:''' It's just that I hate to see a once-proud institution making so many foolish mistakes.\\
'''Martin:''' Well, if it makes you feel any better, the club will probably fail without you. ''(Frasier gets up, looking hopeful)'' It'll be no fun. All the members will resign. This time next month, they'll probably have torn the building down.\\
'''Frasier:''' ... I never know when you're being facetious.\\
'''Martin:''' Yeah, you do.
* Eventually, fed up with it all, Martin storms into the wine club.
-->'''Martin:''' Good ''god'', you wear a ''sash?!''\\
'''Niles:''' Frasier sent you down here, didn't he?\\
'''Frasier:''' ''(from off-screen)'' No!\\
'''Martin:''' Frasier, get in here, now.\\
