-->'''Frasier''': Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now... I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem. Thank you for your call.

* SeriousBusiness: Frasier's ethical viewpoint on giving product placement. As a doctor, he feels that simply giving his opinion on something like a restaurant carries more weight, and doesn't want to influence people's opinions (even though it's established in previous episodes Frasier isn't exactly a big name star at KACL as is).
