Dr. Frasier Crane : Niles! What fortuitous timing. Er... you know the wine shop just called a moment ago? It seems they're down to their last two cases of the '82 Chambolle-Musigny, so why don't you dash right down there and stack it all up?
Niles : Okay.
[just as the door is about to shut on him]
Niles : Hold it!
[looks suspiciously at Frasier]
Niles : You know very well that in 1982 there was a drought in Bourgogne. The locals dubbed it "The Year of the Raisin." And that wine was never sold by the case, only by the bottle
[forces his way in]
Niles : T.H. Houghton is here, isn't he?

Dr. Frasier Crane : Give me the name of a baseball player.
Martin Crane : Darryl Strawberry.
Dr. Frasier Crane : No! A real one!

Niles : [examining his coffee outside Cafe Nervosa] Is it me or is the foam a tad dense today?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Like a dreary fog on a Scottish moor.
Niles : Rather than accent, it overwhelms. Rather than flirt, it assaults.
Martin Crane : Rather than watching the ballgame, I have to listen to this.

Niles : Ooh excellent, excellent. What wine would most enhance the experience?
Dr. Frasier Crane : No, Niles. Wine might dull our faculties. Perhaps instead a slow sipping cordial would be the proper garnish.
Niles : Sherry?
Dr. Frasier Crane : Armagnac.
Niles : Oh, well see? That's why you're the older brother.

Dr. Frasier Crane : Afternoon, Daphne.
Daphne Moon : Hello. Oh, Dr. Crane. It's a good thing you're home. Mr. Houghton is dropping by to pick your father up for the Mariners game.
Dr. Frasier Crane : You serious? He's coming back?
Daphne Moon : Yes. Any minute. It's a double header.
[Frasier looks blankly at her]
Daphne Moon : They play two games!
