Quotes
-
Kate Costas : Stop busting Frasier's chops; enough said?
Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe : Well I could, but see all these lines lit up? They're all waiting to tell me how funny it was.
Kate Costas : [to Pete, his producer] Are all these callers waiting to tell Bulldog how much they liked the joke he played on Frasier?
Pete : All except the guy on nine, he thinks Bulldog sucks.
Kate Costas : Because of what he did to Frasier?
Pete : No, just in general.
Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe : So, what do you want me to do?
Kate Costas : If you think I'm going to allow you to publicly mock one of our most respected hosts on air just for the sake of higher ratings, you and I are going to get along just fine!

Kate Costas : [to receptionist] I need a copy of our contract with Nanette Stewart.
[notices Frasier]
Kate Costas : What's Yum-Yum doing here? It's all right, I can guess.
Dr. Frasier Crane : You promised you'd put an end to Bulldog's shenanigans and instead you encouraged him.
[notices Kate has pulled Nanette's name from the board]
Dr. Frasier Crane : You're cancelling "Pet Chat With Nanette"? She's been on for six years!
Kate Costas : Yeah, but she's been floating at the top of the bowl for the last two. When I went in to talk to Bulldog, the phones were lit up like Times Square, he's fans love it when he zaps you.
Dr. Frasier Crane : So, you would have me ridiculed for the sake of those hyenas!
Kate Costas : No, I would have you fight back. He makes pot shots at you, you come back at him in your drool, Ivy League, "look at me; I've got a thesaurus" kind of way! It'll be funny!
Dr. Frasier Crane : Funny! Funny! I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with a man who's favorite t-shirt reads "Seattle Hooter Inspector"!
Kate Costas : Afraid of the competition?
Dr. Frasier Crane : I am a doctor, I went...
[She gives him a look, expecting him to mention Harvard again]
Dr. Frasier Crane : ... to medical school! I will not embarrass myself by engaging in a grab for ratings.
Kate Costas : You just announced to a half a million listeners that you are filled to the brim with girlish glee, I think the "H.M.S Pinafore" of embarassment has sailed! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to fire someone.
