- [Martin needs a ride to his army reunion]
- Martin: Come on, they're great guys. Stinky, Wolfman, Boom-Boom, Jim. Of course his name's not really Jim, we just call him that because he likes to drink Jim Beam. Just like we call Hank "Bud," because he drinks Budweiser. Come on, you'd love these guys!
- Niles: We're sherry drinkers, Dad. Think about it!
- [Frasier is unaware Daphne is pretending to be married to Niles, so he assumes Clive is referring to Maris]
- Dr. Frasier Crane: You've met Mrs. Crane?
- Clive: She sure lights up a room, doesn't she?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Yes. Usually by leaving it.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Clive called for you earlier
- Daphne: Did he sound British?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: No, he was one of those fiery Mexican Clives.
- [Martin pretends to be an astronaut]
- Martin: Ya know, most people think that there the name Buzz Aldrin has some huge meaning behind it... nope, he was afraid of bees.
- Martin: What the hell is going on here?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Clive is Daphne's old boyfriend. She's trying to let him down easily by pretending to be married to Niles.
- Niles: This is *my* place. Frasier's staying here temporarily because he's separated from Maris.
- Martin: [to Frasier] You couldn't stand her either, huh?
- Daphne: [to Clive] Really, we're not the awful people you think we are.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: No, the truth is we've been lying to you all night!
- Gil Chesterton: Brilliant show, Frasier! Chock full of pithy insight.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: What do you want?
- Gil Chesterton: A favor. Bonnie Weems, the Auto Lady, just asked me to another one of her wretched dinner parties. Well, I was planning on saying that you and I have ballet tickets, so do back me up.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: I'm sorry, I can't.
- Gil Chesterton: Oh, but you've got to! Have you any idea how vile her food is? The local raccoons have posted warning signs on her trash bins!
- Dr. Frasier Crane: You see, she already invited me, and I told her I promised my father I'd drive him to his army reunion at Rattlesnake Ridge.
- Gil Chesterton: Oh, very clever. Well, I'd use it myself, but I killed my father off to escape her Labor Day clambake.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Roz, listen, I'm going to the opera tonight. You didn't happen to remember to bring my...
- Roz Doyle: Oh, your opera glasses! I'm so sorry, they completely slipped my mind.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: I wouldn't really mind, if you hadn't borrowed them just to ogle that bodybuilder that moved in across the street.
- Roz Doyle: Hey, I've just looked once or twice. It's not like I copied his name off his mailbox, so I could look up his number and call him while he was in the shower, so I could watch him cross the room naked to answer the phone in front of the picture window. That would be wrong.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Look, I want them back. I refuse to squint through Pagliacci while you're trying to watch "The Magic Flute"!
- Martin: [Martin needs a ride for a weekend trip. He looks to Frasier, Niles, and Daphne] So, who's the lucky one?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well, by my count, two of us get to be lucky!
- Daphne: You get rid of her now, or it's Rattlesnake Ridge for you.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: You wouldn't!
- Daphne: Oh, wouldn't I? And by the way, Stinky needs a ride.
- [Frasier gasps]
- Dr. Frasier Crane: And in closing, this goes out to Keith, the narcoleptic I spoke to earlier. I'd be glad to resume our conversation when you feel a bit more alert, but in the meantime, I suggest that you reconsider applying for that air traffic control position.
- Daphne: You'd think with all your dozens and dozens of men, you could at least leave one for me.
- Roz Doyle: Dozens? Did you tell her that?
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well forgive me for keeping track.
- Daphne Moon: Well, isn't this ironic! All these years I've nagged him to make something of himself. And now look at him, a captain of industry, and still as handsome as ever.
- Dr. Niles Crane: Yes, well, send in the clowns!
- [Roz and Frasier enter from the balcony]
- Dr. Niles Crane: Don't bother, they're here.
