That's what I got a problem with!" To which Frasier then quotes that bit, making it obvious he's a) even more of a snob than the guy believes and b) wasn't really listening to him, despite being a shrink.
The fact that you attributed it to "Dr. Frasier Craine" kind of gave that away. But I'll take any opportunity to correct that particular grammar myth (along with the one that says that you can't begin a sentence with a conjunction).
