Frasier: "So are you suggesting that I go along and pretend I'm enjoying myself in
something that gives me no pleasure at all just to hear the words I love you?"
Daphne: "Why not? Women have been doing it for centuries."
Niles: "My brother has impeccable taste in wine."
Frasier: "Why, thank you, Niles"
Niles: "It comes from all those years he was shacked up with a barmaid."
Frasier: "You know that Maris loves you, right? But it's still nice to
hear it."
Niles: "I imagine it would be, but lets stick to attainable goals!"
Niles: "For example, did you know this very lake is 89 meters deep and
boasts 50
varieties of fish!"
Frasier: "Oh, Alex, I'll take bodies of water for $500."
Niles: "I _do_ love Maris. Why, the other week I kissed her for absolutely no reason at all!"
Frasier: "I never thought I'd end up yearning for the bed and bass!"
Frasier: "He's not gay!"
Niles: "He seems to be under that impression."
Niles: "Call me Ishmael!"
Niles: holding his taped-up flour sack "I accidentally ran him through."
Martin: "Remember when we turned off the highway? Well, right down from there is the
Bed and Bass Motel!"
Frasier: "Bed and Bass -- ah yes, one of the finer fish-themed motels!"
Niles: "I really am king of the ninnies aren't I?"
Niles: "I dreamt someone kidnapped my baby and they kept sending me muffins in the mail."
Frasier: "Ah, Niles! Look at you! Now are you sure you're going to be
warm enough?"
Niles: "No problem there, I dressed in layers: Polo, Eddie Bauer, and
Timberland!"
Frasier: "You look like a skinny Elmer Fudd!"
Frasier to member of the Empire Club about Niles: "You'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger snob in the entire room!"
Niles: "Maris can't produce saliva, you see."
Niles: "I had no idea how much I liked fishing until I realized all the shopping involved."
Niles: "...She's lying down on all the coats in the bedroom. Maris tires easily under the pressure of being interesting."
Frasier: (looks at watch)
Martin: "I saw that!"
Frasier: "I'm not bored, I was simply wondering how long we've been
sitting here
enjoying ourselves."
Niles: "Dad, did you know that Lake Nomohegan was formed by the retreat
of several
glaciers during the Cenezoic Era?
Fraiser: "Which, coincidentally, is the last time anyone caught a fish
in it!"
Frasier in reference to his gay boss: "...I can't understand how he would think that. We only talked about the theatre and fashion...Oh Dear God!"
