Quote from Cliff in Teaching with the Enemy

Norm: So, Tiny, huh? [chuckles] That's a pretty funny nickname given, you know, how big you are.
Tiny: Why? You making fun of my name? You think I got a joke name? Do you think I'm some kind of joke?
Norm: Tell Vera I loved her.
Cliff: Hey, wait, ho! Excuse me here. Tiny there, my main man. Hey, uh, step into my office. I'll take care of this, Normie. You see, Tiny, uh, you know, calling you "tiny," a guy of your, you know, girth, uh, is what we in the comedy profession call a juxtaposition. Right?
Tiny: Yeah.

Tiny: I like that. You're smart.
Cliff: Why, thank you.
Tiny: No, that's your new nickname. Get it? I made a joke.

Quote from Cliff

Frasier: I want you all to know... I'm not blaming her. It's because of me that my life is in the arms of another man.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Just give me a minute to, uh, to brace myself. Uh, I know, I'll simply imagine the worst thing you could possibly tell me, and whatever your news is, it will pale by comparison. In fact, whatever it is, it... It'll be a relief. Okay, okay, uh... What is the worst thing I can imagine? All right, I've got it. Lilith, your news, please.
Lilith: This afternoon, in a moment of extreme weakness I cheated on you.
Frasier: That was it! That was the worst thing!
Lilith: Try to remain calm.
Frasier: How can I remain calm when you tell me you slept with another man?! You slut!

Quote from Frasier

Lilith: This is a very serious matter, Frasier.
Frasier: Yes, it is serious, Lilith. However, I will refrain from indulging in cliched reactions: rage, the crying, the screaming, the hurling of epithets: Tramp, whore, slut, floozy, bitch, ad infinitum.
Lilith: You did call me slut.
Frasier: Yes, but I didn't call you a tramp, whore, floozy or bitch. I have too much respect for you even though you have been a slut.
