David Hyde Pierce: Dr. Niles Crane

Quotes 

• Daphne Moon : I know you're angry, but please say something.

  Dr. Niles Crane : Angry doesn't begin to describe it.

  Daphne Moon : Niles...

  Dr. Niles Crane : You have violated this person's privacy. If she found out, I... they could suspend my license.

  Daphne Moon : I am so sorry.

  Dr. Niles Crane : And you don't trust me. How could you possibly think there could be somebody else?

  Daphne Moon : Because I was "somebody else".

  Dr. Niles Crane : What?

  Daphne Moon : You were married to two other women while you claimed to have been in love with me. And now that we're together, how can I be sure - really sure - that there won't ever be another somebody else?

  Dr. Niles Crane : Because I would never... because this time, it's different. Our love is different. It's not based on somebody's expectations or-or... anything I'm supposed to be. Uh... when I was with Maris, or with Mel, I found myself thinking about you. Going about my day or, uh... even when I was in a session. I found myself thinking about you. Well, now we're together. I find myself thinking about you. It's not going to stop.

• Dr. Niles Crane : [Daphne has read one of his patient files]  Those files are confidential. How could you?

  Daphne Moon : Look, before you get going, you should probably know...

  Dr. Niles Crane : No, there's no excuse. That is the worst thing you could have done.

  Daphne Moon : You would think so.

• Dr. Niles Crane : Dinner is almost ready. Shall I set you a place or would it make you feel better to go out and shoot your own eggplant?

• Daphne Moon : Why don't you tell me something about your day?

  Dr. Niles Crane : Okay. Let me think.

  [suddenly excited] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : I saw the best pair of driving gloves!

• Dr. Niles Crane : Oh, Daphne - I have to take the roast out of the oven. I need the recipe for the glaze. Could you get it? It's in my briefcase in the burnt-sienna colored folder.

  Daphne Moon : No problem.

  [she looks at Martin] 

  Martin Crane : Brown. But don't tell anyone I know that.

• Dr. Frasier Crane : I think it's coming from in here.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : What?

  Dr. Niles Crane : Dad has brought home a cricket!

  Dr. Niles Crane : [genuine fear]  A cricket? Get behind me, Daphne!

• Dr. Frasier Crane : How was your hunting trip?

  Martin Crane : Oh, came home empty-handed.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Oh, dear. I guess that means for the next several weeks we'll hear you grouse about the grouse and carp about the carp.

  [laughs at his own joke] 

  Dr. Niles Crane : You've been working on that, haven't you?

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Well, there was traffic!
