Roz: Do you remember Alice's hamster I told you about?
Daphne: Yeah, still keeping you awake?
Roz: Not anymore. The dog ate it. Well, half of it.
Daphne: Oh, no. Something like that happened when I was a girl. One of out cats got into one of my rat cages and took little old Pink Bottom right out of show business.
Roz: Well, i don't mind the hamster dying. I just don't know how to break it to Alice. She's never had anything die before.
Daphne: Well, how did your parents explain it to you?
(Roz exhales)
Roz: The wrong way. When I was six, my canary died. And that evening, my dad sat on the bed next to me and said, "dying is just going to sleep and never waking up." Then he turned off the lights and said good night.
(edit) (Frasier and Niles find a skull)
Niles: Maybe it's a builder that got trapped or an exterminator that was overcome with fumes.
Frasier: Probable solutions, Niles. However, neither is possible.
Niles: Why not?
Frasier: Because when you die, your head does not pop off like a champagne cork! (edit) Niles: I think this rock was the murder weapon.
Frasier: Why that rock instead of all the other rocks down there?"
Niles: It's pointier. (edit)
