Sentences and their fortunes

Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) gets his sentence tangled in a conversation with new station manager Kate Costas (Mercedes Ruehl). From the episode “She’s the Boss” (September 19, 1995):

“Some people — and this is so unfortunate — can't tell the difference between self-respect and pigheadedness.”

“Yes, but those people are usually rigid little demagogues who don’t know the difference between the kind of respect that is earned and the kind of respect that is irrespective … of what others expect.“

“Isn’t it sad when bad things happen to good sentences?”

“I think I made myself clear.”
