Cliff Quote #664
Quote from Cliff in Ma's Little Maggie
Margaret: Cliff, is something wrong?
Cliff: It's about the wedding, Margaret. I don't think I want to get married just yet.
Margaret: Why, Cliff? Don't you love me?
Cliff: Oh, Maggie, of course I love you. But, if we're going to get married, I want it to be our decision, and not Ma's. That woman has been making decisions for me long enough. We'll know in our hearts when the time is right.
Margaret: Oh, Cliff!
Cliff: Maggie, when I propose to you, it's going to be the most romantic thing you've ever heard.
Margaret: I don't know, Cliff. It would be awfully hard to beat the way your ma said it.
Cliff: Yeah. Oh, Margaret? You'll, uh you'll still be my girlfriend, won't you?
Margaret: Oh, yes, Cliff. I understand completely. You want to be your own man.
Cliff: Exactly. All right! Now, would you get out there and tell that to my mother?

Quote from Cliff
Cliff: Doc, you gotta help me. I mean, it's all happening so fast. One minute, I- I'm leading my life. And the next minute, before you know it, I'm standing in a line down at the marriage bureau with a bunch of other people waiting for a license. I looked into their eyes. You know what I saw? The smell of death.
Frasier: Aren't you exaggerating just a bit?
Cliff: Oh, no. Fras, when I was a teenager, I used to work at a slaughterhouse. And I watched them when they brought them in, and I watched them when they took them out. But I've never seen nothing like that.

Quote from Esther Clavin

Esther Clavin: Now, I don't want you to think that I'm looking forward to this but with your father out of the picture [breathes deeply], it's one of those crosses I'm going to have to bear, along with many others. Now, when a man and woman love each other very much, they share a very special kind of hug. [drinks] Ooh... ah!
Cliff: Ma, look, you don't have to tell me all this stuff. I already know.
Esther Clavin: All right, who's the dirty mouth who's been telling my son these things?
