| From the TV sitcom Frasier (Frasier shows off his
impressive apartment):
Frasier: So what do you think with what I've done with the
place, You know, every item here was carefully selected. The lamp by
Corbu, this chair by Eames, and this couch is an exact replica of the
one Coco Chanel had in her Paris atelier.
Martin: Nothing matches.
Frasier: Well, it's a style of decorating - it's called
eclectic. The theory behind it is, if you have really fine pieces of
furniture, it doesn't matter if they match - they will go together.
Martin: It's your money.
