[standing at the side of the road, after being pulled over]

Dr. Niles Crane : We don't have time for this, we have to get to the bridge!

Policeman : According to her tracking device, your wife is in this vehicle.

Dr. Niles Crane : But that's absurd!

Daphne Moon : [annoyed] And she's his *ex*-wife!

[sound of doors slamming]

Martin Crane : Oh no, the press is here!

Policeman : Open the trunk, sir.

Dr. Niles Crane : Please, please, there's an item of a very personal nature in there, so if you could just keep the media back...

Policeman : [drawing his gun] Now!

[Niles opens the trunk, the policeman rummages inside]

Dr. Niles Crane : See? No Maris. Oh, careful, careful, that's what I didn't want you to...!

[the policeman reveals the painting]

Martin Crane : Oh, jeez.

Policeman : What the hell is that?

Dr. Niles Crane : It's Pan, the satyr. A minor god of mischief, debauchery, and fornication.

Daphne Moon : [fondly] That's what our son would look like if I were a goat!
Policeman : [on the patrol car's loudspeaker] Pull over immediately.

Dr. Niles Crane : Dad, you're a cop, what do we do?

Martin Crane : Pull over immediately.
Dr. Frasier Crane : You know, I heard the most extraordinary thing on the radio today.

Dr. Niles Crane : I know. Rubenstein's torrid survey of the Chopin mazurkas. It took all my strength not to turn the car around, drive home and ravish my wife.
Dr. Niles Crane : [about Maris] Strange to think that I'll never see her again.
